Samsung Galaxy SIII Thread

[scyther016]

yup, iba alotment ng new subscription sa loyalty. AFAIK new subscriptions can get a unit from the store on the spot, as long as it's available. the s3 via loyalty will come from the main office, and stocks there are scarce. araw-arawin mo lang ang pagtawag sa 211 hanggang sa makapag-reserve sila ng unit para sayo

P.S. watch the textspeak to avoid the many stars on your post

thanks for the tip! now its confirmed na magkaiba nga ang allotment ng new subscription sa loyalty... inaaraw araw ko na nga ang tawag sa globe lagi naman out of stock...tsk! now im thinking to cut my current line and get a new one! haha (desperate moves??)

[riverhorse]

@scyther016 actually ganyan ang ginawa ko. Applied for a new line and got a proper microsim from Globe so I don't have to cut it ... yun nga lang new line means new number. I previously had a old plan 500 that I eventually requested to be cut para hindi redundant. Pero yung iba na nagparenew maswerte na kahit under loyalty ay nakakuha ng bagong S III. Depende siguro sa available units per Globe Business Center.

Also : Official Jelly Bean update arriving for Galaxy S III in October

^ If you limit your downloads to the Google Play Store or reputable sites like XDA you won't encounter malware on Android. If you are fond of cracked or pirated apps that is another story.

I've been using Android for 2 years and I've never encountered malware.

Thanks for your feedback

hello

ask ko lang, pano po magtransfer ng files from pc to fone? hindi po ata siya plug and play lang tulad ng ibang samsung fones or tablets.

[riverhorse]

@Kenbone you're welcome.

@mochanne the S III and most if not all the newer Android phones use mtp file transfer. Have you installed Kies in your laptop? You don't need to use Kies all the time for file transfer. What you neednisnthe Samsung driver/s for the data cable which automatically get installed when you install Kies.

[mochanne]

@riverhorse, so i really need to install kies on my computer parang itunes lang?

[Jasperbad]

im just wondering.. is it possible to use a keyboard on your SGS III?

say for example, you wanna type some documents and you don't have access to a computer.


and you only have a keyboard? can you connect that keyboard to your sgs3 and start typing away?

[riverhorse]

@mochanne yes. Uhmm, have you tried connecting your SIII to your laptop? Ang Galaxy Nexus walang Kies but you can still transfer files via mtp system ( which is similar and suposedly faster than usb file transfer ) you just need the cable drivers. Baka mahanap mo using google ang mga cable drivers for the SIII mas straightforward nga lang if you use Kies. Tapos nun drag and drop lang pwede unlike iTunes (which I also use).

@jasperbad kung mayroon kang usb on-the-go cable ay pwede ka magconnect ng usb keyboard sa SIII in theory.

im not sure if this works out on SGS3, you can simply use a wireless keyboard via bluetooth. my SGS2 can connect with wireless mouse. i think it would be same principle for the wireless keyboard.

i have tried connecting it to my desktop. may mga free download ba ng kies sa google parang itunes?
wala akong cable drivers.

hello sa mga s3 users, wala po ba kayo na-eexperience hang time pag gamit niyo ang unit?

mga three times ata sa akin. one instance, i cant get out of the screen lock pattern because the on screen moved to right. had to restart the unit.

but i guess we need to restart the device from time to time just like our pcs.

[jbluzb]

so far my S3 does not really hang, FC only happens when I flash JB leak roms but going to ICS everything is stable albiet a bit laggy when opening contacts

Please select the Kies version compatible with your operating system. Kies is free

I have an Asus Windows7 64bit laptop with 4 gb of ram. Kies works fine on my laptop. Having more ram is important, i think.

From a commenter in GSMArena:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-gun...laxy-s-iii-ad/

- totally different plug= that's gonna cost you money! and its not universal
- 720p Front Facing Camera= thats 0.9 MP, the S3 has 1.9 MP front camera
- iCloud= fancy naming of syncing data online, Android has this since ice age
- Shared Photo Stream= S3 has a photo share plus live editing
- Panorama= Samsung has this feature in its specific camera since stone age
- 700k Apps= Have fun downloading them all (meh, android fanboys bash wp users dahil unti lang apps sa wp)
- Passbook= its just an app! Android has Google Wallet and several many on Google Play
- Free OS Updates Annually= is it Free! Cool, We do have OS updates, in fact my Galaxy S3 received to OTA updates and the third is coming in few days
- FaceTime= lol, fancy name of video calling, since 2007 Android has that (talking on 3G) plus we have Google Talk plus Google Hangout (multiple people in one call) there is so much more.
- New Maps= Apple maps still new and has little coverage, in Fact i'm in Middle East and Apple maps doesnt work here, but Google Navigation with voice commands works just fine, and guess what I dont have to buy the latest phone to get it, it works on the tiny Galaxy Y
- Airplay= lol again, in one click my Photo/Music/Video will be streamed to my 40 inches LED Samsung TV
- Sleek and Durable= so it's gonna sleek from your hand and survive the hit! Lets see about that
- Game Center= define that please, do you pay any money for it!
- iMessage= fancy name for Whatsapp for Apple products, Android integrates the app when it installs so Whatsapp/gtalk/any IM app/Viber/Facebook Messenger/etc.... are superior to iMessage coz they can send messages to ANYONE

and yeah

someone is butthurt.
