I've got an otterbox and I love it. After about a week the side buttons wore in and got a lot easier to use. They were pretty tight at the beginning.
My ACase has served me well, but the dual layer corners can make it a pain to get out of my pocket sometimes. I'm interested in this one. Does the UAG case affect NFC at all?Went with the "Aero" one since I thought it'd look good with my pebble blue S3. I was right.
Was just coming here to recommend the same. I typically hate cases but as my first S3 exploded from a small less-than-waist-high drop, I finally caved. I got one of the UAG and it hasn't hindered my enjoyment of the phone much. I've since dropped it several times from waist height without so much as a scratch.
I got the white one and it looks good on my white phone as well.
OK...I don't know what world you live in, but everybody I know uses Whatsapp, whether or not they are on iOS, BBM, Android, or whatever. I don't know a single person that still uses iOS group messaging. And I'm not sure what you mean by the gamer IT nerd thing.
Maybe in gamer IT nerd circles you can (or even want to) do this... but why the hell would I want to go through the hassle of trying to convince everyone I know to download an app to add a functionality that already exists on my phone? What's App is a decent app... I've used it. But I prefer the built in messaging feature of iOS
What app are you using for your texts? I had this issue with GoSMS but not with the native messaging. I've since got rid of the secondary app and just use the main one.
I'm an S2 user but I bought an extra battery/charger combo from eBay for like $12, so if I'm gonna be gone all day I take the charged spare with me. From low battery to 100% in 30 seconds.
Hold down on icon and drag to trashcan.
There are no icons on a blank page. Holding down on the blank page just brings up the 'Set Wallpaper' 'Apps and Widgets' menu.
On your main home screen - pinch in, which will lay out all your screens. Drag the blank ones to the trash can.
Note: It's selling for about $300 on ebay, but without the protector and the cases and I'm including shipping. It's through Sprint, FYI.
Buy a new OEM battery on eBay for less than $10 shipped.
Don't know if it's the battery. I tried another battery and it's the same thing. I tried three different chargers. I'm afraid it's the charging port.
Have you cleaned it? They tend to pick up lots of pocket lent and stuff. My Evo and iPhone both has issues with poor charging and a quick blast of compressed air fixed it.
Yeah, my battery has been awful lately as well. I was getting only about 8 hours on a charge last week. It's gotten better since then. Its showing "Cell standby" and "Device idle" as the main culprits. Dropping calls a lot as well.
Man, this thing just lost 4% in ten minutes of being off the charger without being able to connect to the internet....
I'm rooted and unlocked, and I use custom kernels all the time. I use TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) for recovery instead of Clockwork Mod (which I used to use) because it has a nice easy GUI with a lot of options. Rooting it may or may not void your warranty, but unlocking the bootloader for sure will. I rooted mine 2 months after the purchase and still kept the stock ROM. Then after waiting for weeks for Verizon for Jelly Bean, I unlocked it and installed a custom Jelly Bean ROM.
Yeah, I'm at around 30% on my screen brightness, and toggle sync off during certain hours, like when I'm on the computer. Of course I am plugged in then, but I can also set what wakes the device up as far as sync with the ROM.
Doing the ROM stuff after a while ain't that hard. I've been doing it since I've had an Android device. The downside is trouble shooting and working around bugs. Of course you run the risk of bricking the device (which I have), and then need to know how to recover via software on the computer, and connecting the device in "download" mode. The other downside for me is getting hooked on ROMs. I've flashed and re-flashed ROMs to find the perfect setup.
Dunno much about the DNA, but Samsung stated that the S3 will have LTS with Key Lime Pie. After that I think the standard in devices will need quad core with more RAM.
Drummer, which rom you using now? Have you tried the Wicked Sensations yet? I'm using Wicked 4.2 and love it.
