Lol exact words from 98.7fm Singapore radio ..facebook app for ios is much better and faster..so now its android turn

Hi there,

May I know what is the best software for me to reduce the usage of my physical button, for me to lock or unlock the phone.

I constantly use the Home and also Power button and want to know is there any other way using apps such as flip cover, swiping etc..

Thank you

If you rooted, use button savior. It's the best around but I wish there is one like ipad where it can use 5 or 4 fingers on the screen

Thank you for the reply considering the time

But I still havent rooted it yet, so any other suggestion?

root

Planning to and will do

Friendster? Or Friendcaster?

I'm sure other shapes will eventually catch on. Years ago some of Samsung's phones have oval shapes. Before iphones. most of the Nokia phones have more or less oval shapes.





How about this Sony ericsson phone design..may catch on.

or this:

Shape is less of a problem. It's the performance of the phones that's uniquely Samsung....the swipe to unlock the screen. Pinching to enlarge can be replaced by tapping..anyway does Apple have the monopoly on touch screens? Who owns the patent? Apple actually relies heavily on Samsung to deliver up to 25% of the iPhone 4′s parts. Among the components include the flash memory within, DRAM memory and the applications processor which basically makes the entire handset tick. If Samsung were to tell Apple to fly kites and outsource their parts from other sources, will that be counter productive? Or Samsung strong arm some deals...we provide you parts, in exchange you let us use your patents...or totally seek their own path? Knowing the Koreans they can eventually come up with something. I hate Apple for being so mercenary

Also check what engadget said they thought on the matter. most of it was pretty spot on :/

http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/25/editori...samsung-ruling/

I support what James Trew says. "In fact, pre-Android and iOS, most mobile phones often looked and operated in much the same way, the difference was mainly in the hardware itself." Nokia was the taiko then..why it didn't sue the others? Because it is not as mercenary as Apple.Tim Cook...another Bill Gates in the making. Nokia's Symbian OS never improved and today it is losing money.

"Apple had the legal right to protect something, it did, and won. Fine. What is more galling is that the jurors seem to have missed an opportunity to question the validity (and by proxy, value) of these patents, and they didn't. Is Apple going this self-destructive path, the end of which is good for no one, not even Apple. "
I think Google and Samsung will not give up so easily as big bucks are involved.

If Apple license out their patents to Android makers the end result will be more expensive phones..and Apple having less competetion will produce mediocre phones. Have you noticed that the new ipad (so called ipad 3) is already in our stores without much fanfare? Its specs are nothing to shout about. Probably Apple is waiting to launch its mini ipad and iphone 5 and relegate the ipad 3 to the junk heap.

I was iPhone user and just recently changed to S3 1-2 months ago coz cant wait for iPhone 5.. After switching to S3, I noted PlayStore has less apps compared to Apps Store.. Significantly lesser in terms of medical world..

Anyway, I just wanted a fast responsive phone which big screen for reading.. Which can fit into my pocket

@Tookia

those things you highlighted are exactly the stuff i'm having issue with.


Anyways apples lost lots of respect for what they did. Not because they were protecting themselves, but because they went overboard on some items that went beyond common sense like the patent on rectangle :{

Despite the outcome, even haters will still get an iphone 5 if it's worth it's salt.

As for myself i'm an android fan because i feel there is more room for developers to make their apps for it when compared to the IOS.

not to mention i'm not a fan of proprietary ports whos only goal is to block out competition.

I know this for a fact because i got an Aktimate Mini with an apple dock port, which i can't use with the Samsung Galaxy S3 that has a usb mini port. How is that suppose to benefit me the consumer ?

-.-; The EU already found fault with it. So i am curious to know what ports the iphone 5 will have.

Added on August 26, 2012, 9:44 ami got a few suggestions for reading apps.


mantano reader looked nice for reading ebook formats, easy on the eyes and pretty responsive.

perfect viewer is awesome to read manga. can browse on lan to find your book :}

for manga online viewer i recommend manga watcher


the downside to reading on S3 is ... it's not as efficient power wise compared to say kindle with e-ink display.

But you can read for a few hours on the S3 if you set the brightness low enough yet still readable to save on power.

the screen size is sufficient enough for me. for manga though i sometimes zoom in/zoom out and drag a bit to view it sometimes

What is the latest version of the stock update? BLH1 ?

@YouDontKnowMyName,

Thank for your great review on SGP Curved Crystal, i had it applied on mine, it is like a brand new phone. Smooth, no orange peel effect. Esp your recommendation of Hinged Method, 1 attempt, good align and gao dim. I recalled last time with FlexHD, was sweat like crazy.

SGP going to launch GLAS, claimed had some Oleophobic effect, which i prefer, as my previous S1, S2, applied Oleophobic, till not still good condition. However this GLAS for SIII is way too pricey $34.99, compared to Curved Crystal $15.99.

yes im facing this too,now using fb from browser,
btw i just play with custom rom,i install wannamlite,so far everything is ok,but i just downloaded criskelo,aroma kitchen,btw do i need to restore back before i switching to another rom?is wannamlite more gooding than criskelo?

hi guys..got bit tiny problem here...i recently flashed the leaked ota lh7 firmware so far no problems found but my cwm manager says i'm running different recovery..then i try to install cwm recovery still it says the same thing..n now flashed to omega v16 jelly bean xxdlh7 also cwm says my recovery is different..do i need to install the recovery again? if yes then how? using odin or mobile odin maybe? been googling around but still no solution...thanks for ur time ^^

Tried GMD Gesture Controls?

I can use a few fingers to go back, close apps, pinch 4 fingers to go back to home etc.

I wonder besides can try custom ROMS etc, what r the benefits of rooting ur S3? I'm using all the original firmware and the only thing i wished for is more speed & stability if i have to root or install custom ROM.. hehe

Otherwise i'm much satisfied with the current ROM.. waiting for official JB release only

ANybody has the extended battery for S3? Where can I get it?

Most of it at amazon doesn't ship out of USA =(
