i tried different SP, from FlexHD, then the 1 free from Spigen case (dont knw what its call, Nano clear i think)....

both also hopeless.

PS: dont ask me to get the CurveSP....

no one has the answer... disappointed with the so call TOP SELLING Phone, claimed by Samsung (10mil unit sold), on this area...

*especially skype it keep on disconnecting... where as i do not have this problem last time on my DZ... the Samsung memory management keep on killing skype when it is in the back ground...
*
no problem with skype disconnecting even though i use whatsapp, watch youtube etc. i always need to manually disconnect skype on my own.

wow, ok... i told myself not to root it... until i make a decision to keep or sell... it is a BAD BAD ROM by Samsung... no offense... others makers that i'm using on hand now did not make the similar mistake... Single Core on ICS stock ROM with SE Xperia does better, of course my DZ on Sense 4.0 Customer ROM also not bad... but really does not expect a Quad Core Phone with plenty of RAM perform like that...

cheers...

From all the posts you have posted it seems that you are not a very happy s3 user. I personally love the phone even though it does lags now and then with an occasional hiccups. But it's still th best phone I have ever used. Better than ios that's for sure

Not only the weather app, other things that are syncing automatically will drain your battery. Download better battery stats and see what are the things that are causing the battery drain. It's a paid app on market but I think you can get it for free from xda developers if I'm not mistaken. Support the developers if you like the app :-)

I got the Nexus 7. it is awesome with the stock jelly bean without any 3rd party launcher on it. the speed and google now is superb. the7 inch form factor is great too smile.gif
for 249 USD, totally worth it

haha... not that fast i always gives ppl chance... but i'll not root it until got no hope dy...
or the new S4 chipset officially available in malaysia... then i might sell this for that...

BTW TouchWiz is nothing la... it is replaceable... temporary Sense is my fav... lets see touchwiz can over take it or not...
haha... right... have you ask 10 millions user around the world?
and some more i does not hate it, i love a few aspect of the phone but disappointed with the performance on the RAM's firmware tweaking by Samsung engineer... it is the 1st time Skype got killed even is just swap it over to whatsapp for a while...

so far i tried a lil tweak here and there with the settings, has been about 1/2 day...
things is better but still there is a lag here and there... manageable...
*
like many of us said, Skype won't be killed by swtiching to other apps. it is the only app that requires me to manually logout and switch it off. something is not right there

+1 ...... Couldnt agree more but the waiting period of 2-3 weeks from Google Store is a killer and not 2 mention another week of shipping to reach msia

got it out of a store in Staples in the US. they had 3 units left and the my mum went back the next day, she bought the last unit. lol. 249 USD converted around RM770. if u buy it here it is around 1k for 16gb. deceives the main selling point of the device = it's price.

haha... use it since Friday, that is 4~5 days ago and so fast got corrupted or problem meh...
i wonder why i need to clean the memory myself always, where as my gf's Ray and my DZ performing well on 512 RAM without cleaning the RAM... or should i say my gf never clean up the RAM before and she duno how to do it...

Currently i feel better with the performance but the troublesome is i need to manual clean the RAM myself...
more smooth, but there is lag here and there... clean up the memory, gone, everything back to normal
well that is sales talk my friend... i cannot give you an absolute answer but due to my experience for few days...

1st is over heat problem, yes and no... but i do not thing it is due to over charging... when using the phone to play every simple games you will feel the heat... i duno y ppl complaint about the New iPad but not this...

2ndly is the hang problem, i do not feel it but yes there is some lag here and there... my bad experience is i never clean any of my task since i bought it on last friday, mess up with it and install all the apps i wanted... on Saturday nite my nightmare comes, i'm chatting with my sis and my gf at the same time but different app... and i'm surfing for something using stock browser and looking thru the iproperties app... suddenly my skype auto killed by the task manager and also my stock browser restarts everytime i swap to messaging apps to talk to them...
after complaining on it here, i only find out one thing... i need to clear the memory myself, using the S3 task manager... when i check that time my memory is 650+MB used over 779MB (that is what available for user only), so i wonder why there is so heavy loaded there...
so restart i still have slight problem but no big deal, then until now i need to clear the RAM myself using stock task manager to clear up the path for my usage... i do not think i'm a heavy user for this few days, as i'm worst on working days... more towards chatting, web browsing and gaming for tis few days but for working day i have a lot of calls, 2  account running emails, whatsapp, browsing and some light gaming... i'll see how it performs by next week, when everybody (customer) back from Raya mood...

my bad experience on the phone is not about the parts and specs is the firmware build by Samsung... for Android it will auto manage the memory for you but i did not expect it does not help me to clean up instead i need to do it myself... user experience is badly affected, maybe i expect too much as i upgrade from Single Core... my DZ running custom Sense 4 ROM is almost as speed on the Home Panels as S3, which i felt it should be smooth like a silk with the core and RAM available...S2 is better as the RAM usage is not that high and they maintain around 450~500MB as i heard... yesterday go out with my fren who owns S2 and he say what is the freaking things running behind it, 650MB used!!! but after manually clearing it using task manager it is ok, goes down to ~500MB but then it will bounce up back to ~600 later stage...

It is not ideal for u to keep cleaning the RAM manually. let the phone do the job itself

@Eiraku,
i don want to root it... thats all... i already said i'll test it out for another week or 2... then see how, whether need to go back to Sammy or not...
@noobandroid,
BTW i'm not outdated as you say i'm using GB, my DZ is rooted with Sense 4.0 ICS ROM... i use ICS ROM few month ago already...
no point explain/discuss already, you guys is very defensive on this... cheers...

i seriously think that ur unit has a problem. skype doesnt kill itself no matter u open what apps. it just stays there and requires u to log out and kill it manually. try a format and see how. good luck.

btw the s3 is the best phone out there right now. maybe u could wait for the iphone 5 smile.gif
