QUOTE(michael9413 @ Aug 20 2012, 04:32 PM) 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... 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 surecheers...

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 :-)This post has been edited by RedDevils88: Aug 20 2012, 06:40 PM |

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 **me was thinking of getting Nexus 7*** for 249 USD, totally worth it |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Aug 20 2012, 10:25 PM) haha... not that fast i always gives ppl chance... but i'll not root it until got no hope dy... 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 thereor 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... |

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. |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Aug 21 2012, 07:48 AM) haha... use it since Friday, that is 4~5 days ago and so fast got corrupted or problem meh... It is not ideal for u to keep cleaning the RAM manually. let the phone do the job itselfi 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... |
