yay. First post.

And haha you added the thread version statistic table too.

Advice: you need to add the date the statistic was taken, because as time goes by, the page views number increases.

Still pretty good speed for the thread.

s3 is still an overall good device. Some people prefer 4.7" vs 5".

You guys don't have kakak fruitie watching over your shoulder, otherwise she will warn no congrats/report posts.

The key limitation of S3 is the 1Gb RAM. You might be able to upgrade, but you probably won't get a smooth experience.

Nice one m'lord. Will post on note2 page 1 as well. However there could be valid reasons for the sparing use of task killers due to hung apps at times.

** WARNING ESPECIALLY TO NOOBS **

Scam Alert: Don't Get Duped By Root-Android.com
http://www.androidpit.com/scam-alert-don-t...oot-android-com



Just a PSA to anyone out there thinking of rooting their devices: don't trust any site that wants to charge you to use their software.

A prime example is "Root-Android.com." This site claims to be able to "root any device" using a single piece of software for the low, low price of $30. But does it actually work?

The problem is there is no single piece of software that can root any phone model without any input needed from the user. Rooting instructions are drastically different depending on your carrier and model, and you should be wary of any website that says it can root your device "with a single click." Especially if that site wants to charge you.

Root-Android.com preys on the inexperienced and uninformed. Knowing that the majority of new phone owners don't really know what "rooting" is, they've filled their website with erroneous information about what rooting can do for your phone. The site lists "screen shot" as one of their top ten apps that require root because "it's a sad fact that Android shops with no way to take a screenshot." In fact, that hasn't been true since Gingerbread.

============
xeactorz don't know if warnings like this warrant page 1 posting hopefully there aren't people gullible enough.

Under "Rooting" ? Sub heading "ROOT SCAM ALERT" ?

It is called SDS - Sudden Death Syndrome. Due to a fault in the Samsung chip, the chip has a chance of dying and the motherboard needs replacement.

Correction. It is not "8" cores (although physically there are), but 2 sets of 4 cores. You are still using 4 cores at any one time. One set is low power, good enough performance for regular use and one set is high power, high performance for gaming or other heavy duty use. The hardware performs the switching which is invisible to the user.

This has been posted from February already when Samsung announced the Octa core marketecture.

Why the ang-mohs lust after Octa is due to the higher performance of the high power cores as compared to the S600 cores which they are getting.

aiseh came a bit late after voting

Penipu scammer ?

Then why did you sell off the S4 that has a bigger screen than the S3?

I *didn't* say he was one. It was a question for waveweaver.

More popcorn. First the XDA S4 thread and Hari Ini Lah S3 thread....



before mods step in... munch munch.

Dulce et Decorum est pro Samsung mori?

DISCRIMINATION !!!!!
http://nose4news.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/...dly-conditions/

Replied you in the China phone thread. I don't think the police will be bothered.

I would expect it to come around 7k-9k tops. It should show SMDK 4x12 for the CPU and probably PowerVR531 for the GPU

Sometimes Android apps are crap, it's a fact of life, that leads to a laggy phone. My wife's S3 has been in use for almost 1 year and there is no lag because there are not many games and when the kids install games that cause lag it gets promptly booted off the phone.

There are far too many apps/games that are not properly done *cough* Viber/Go *cough* leading to poor battery life and lagginess.

Then again some people complain about 1s, 2s of lag, and there was a comparison that measured 4.3s vs 5.7s for startup or something like that.

I'm quite sure a factory reset with a curated app installation process will immediately cause the S3 to perform excellently.

And ipong has NO WIDGETS. Try using widgets and see if it lags or not. A screen full of widgets is also going to lag. Not an entirely valid comparison, and the underlying philosophies are completely different.

None taken, just explaining why things are that way.
