After analyzing more than 1,200 Android malware families, the reserachers -- Yajin Zhou and Xuxian Jiang -- found that  86.0% repackaged legitimate apps to include malicious payloads and argued that the theats can be effectively mitigated by policing existing Android Markets for repackaging detection.

Kaspersky has No Root Support - This app, like many, lacks root presence, meaning it will be done for if a thief wipes your device before you can find another cellular from which to lock the device remotely.

hahah i like the way they say the monkey steals the phone..so called monkey is the thief hahahha nice nice ...gonna use avast

so is it really fingerprint resistant? do u like it? it comes with 2 SPs right? price?
hehe thanks in advance

i dont think they are open on Sundays

While many users have agreed that the S3’s screen is a natural evolution from the S2’s panel, there have been more than a fistful of critics disagreeing with that opinion(Pentile vs RGB), which has led to Samsung officials issuing statements defending the new display.

Naturally, that hasn’t completely calmed the criticism “storm”, but maybe DisplayMate’s most recent in-depth analysis will manage to do just that. According to what looks like a very objective report and comparison based simply on raw numbers, as well as extensive lab tests and measurements, the S3’s display is indeed an evolution from the S2’s panel, which itself is much better than the original Galaxy S screen in most areas.

OLED, PenTile AMOLED, Super AMOLED, Super AMOLED Plus, and HD Super AMOLED
The marketing terminology and puffery for displays varies among manufacturers and is confusing… The Google Nexus One was listed as having an “AMOLED” display.

The AM stands for Active Matrix, but that prefix is unnecessary because all current LCD and OLED Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops, and HDTVs use an Active Matrix. All subsequent generations of Samsung OLEDs are called “Super AMOLED” in the same way that you’ll often see “Super LCD” advertised as well. Not all manufacturers use the “Super” terminology so it’s best just to ignore it as advertising puffery.

“HD AMOLED” means that the pixel resolution of the display is High Definition 1280 x 720 pixels or higher. But here is where it gets complicated and confusing – if you see “Plus” that means that the display has the traditional 3 Red, Green and Blue sub-pixel arrangement that is found in almost all display technologies.

If you don’t see “Plus” on Samsung devices that means that the display has only 2 sub-pixels per pixel (a Minus) – half of the pixels have Green and Red sub-pixels and the other half have Green and Blue sub-pixels, so Red and Blue are always shared by two adjacent pixels.

This technology is called “PenTile.” PenTile screens have only half the total number of Red and Blue sub-pixels as the traditional 3 sub-pixel displays, so they aren’t as sharp as traditional displays with the same pixel resolution and their highly advertised screen PPIs are not comparable. This is especially noticeable with colored text and graphics.

PenTile uses Sub-pixel Rendering and Anti-Aliasing that partially compensates for this shortfall. PenTile displays have some advantages: they are easier to manufacture and therefore cost less, and for OLEDs the Red, Green and Blue sub-pixels are sized differently and that improves Blue aging somewhat (see below).

For now, OLED displays over 250 PPI use PenTile technology. It’s expected that the next generation of OLEDs will be called “HD Super AMOLED Plus” and they will have the standard 3 sub-pixels per pixel.

put anime/ tv episode in there, so if you bored while working, watch it.

this had been discussed in previous thread. no need to dig up old news and post it here .

this had been discussed for tons of times since v1 when the phone is announced

with such a high ppi count in s3 screen the pentile matrix is negligible
anyway HD Super AMOLED Plus is already available, when will it be released to consumer no1 knows yet

Step1: Use the correct audio format support by your phone.



If your source is a different format, i recommend using Foobar music player on your pc, and convert to the supporting format. In my case i converted a muse format into AAC using the Nero AAC encoder from here
http://www.digital-digest.com/software/ner...ital_audio.html

As nice as FLAC is, the file size is too huge to be practical on the S3. Instead i recommend using AAC that was encoded from a FLAC source instead. Sounds just as nice and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference, and you will have a more practical file size 

Step2: you need to move your music file from your pc to your phone. The way i did it was using Dropbox from desktop, and the dropbox on my S3
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...x.android&hl=en

Then export the music file to your music folder located on your internal SD card.


Step3: Startup your music player and browse to where the music is and press + hold until it prompts out a list of selection. Select set as ringtone.

Done :}

this seller. COD just now. efficient, nice, and fast. good price 

Just completed updating my stock firmware to the UK firmware.
Any glaring changes that I can look for?

Heh...wasn't that hard to flash using ODIN. I was quite worried actually to flash...was hoping to get the OTA

Hrmm...can you explain what you mean by 'local search feature'?

Don't dare to use custom ROM yet...still very new on the smartphone platform. Maybe after a few months using and getting familiar to the system
Any advantage in using wanamlite against stock ROM?
