I am ecstatic that some emphasis is finally levied on the proper use of the English language, good move albeit a teeny bit late. However, better late than never.

Good because with correct usage, whatever posted will be understood and whatever replies will not be misinterpreted, lest unnecessary debates ensue.

Besides ticking vibrate when ringing under sound in settings, have you, as stated by @antt00, also set the notification setting under the message app to vibrate as well?

You, sir, just made me shudder at that very thought.

Felicitations to you and I am in like mind with the others out there that you will excel in your assumed role.

Partaking in a sojourn of education particularly in languages, both ways, is tedious, to say the least. And can be hazardous as some will read too much into it and not accept it graciously. I'd rather in whatever feeble manner (with cane still in pocket) I can, point out the evidently absurd ones especially vis-a-vis the subject matter broached.

Can you share please? It will help those who face the same predicament.

Good that we could help. To be honest, if you play around with the phone enough, you will be able to know the fundamental workings i.e. features and functions quite easily.

Do you know why no one is answering you? You are asking questions which at best will get you hypothetical answers. And that to me and perhaps a whole load of others is just wasting bandwidth.

I was trying to engage in a civil discourse but he was begging for an answer like yours.

I have a wild guess who you are referring to. But then again there are many of the same breed of there. We just have to plod on.

I think that's a little drastic. My personal experience. Bought a SanDisk 32gb Class 10 card when I bought the first S3 in July/August '12. Until now, no problems whatsoever. Then for my second S3, bought another card of the same variant in October last. This particular one went dead on me in December. Had it replaced. Until now, touch wood, no problems.

For the Note2 which I acquired not too long ago, bought a 16gb of the same brand and thus far still compliant.

I suppose it could well be that it is not compatible with Samsung phones, particularly S3 since there are many reports of it going dead in that thread but to tell people to avoid at all cost is going overboard, IMHO.

Thanks mate but I have this queer habit of having my belongings as stock/original as possible. Rather not have something which is not of utmost importance than having to 'do modification'. This is one of the things I am steadfast about.

Thanks all the same for the exploratory effort in procuring a solution for yours truly.

I know my friend. That's why I put inverted commas in modification. I do not like to install stuff which is duplicating to address something of secondary importance to me. That's why I said I am queer, weird if you will.

But I will give it a twirl since you are resolutely recommending it. Cheers and keep up your good work.

I know where you are coming from. I assure you I am straight.

Btw, installed the keyboard recommended. After a snappy dry run, not into it too much. Will persist for a while to see if it will encourage me to keep it.

It could be because you have activated your power saving mode. Switch it off and see whether it dims anymore.

My apologies for being redundant. Didn't read the subsequent posts before I replied.

The replies thus far to your enquiry are correct to a great extent. However, IMHO, the main reason for those 2 and Apple to do that is for the build quality. Not having a removable back cover will greatly enhance that.

That would be the ultimate objective but to, not to have a removable battery, my view, in my personal opinion would be what they were trying to achieve.

Not in defense of anyone, such abbreviations are not short forms per se. It is generic and widely accepted as a medium of communication. 'Unacceptable' short forms are like…how r u? plse do smthg bout d prbm which make it a chore for everyone to decipher.

I should say acronyms, which are not only globally used and accepted but some could even be found in dictionaries.
