***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

just had a 17 min phone call with our indian friends just to get them to send the right sim this time :) should have it in a few days

EDIT ^^ yeah she confirmed on the phone that the one they sent me (for an iphone) wont work with an s3
 
Windows was pushing my music to the card at 11.3MB/s :)

I've got a USB3 Sandisk card reader btw.

How does one change those icons that appear when you connect earphones? Can't seem to figure out a way!
 
Coming from a hardware keyboard, I have to grudgingly say that I prefer Swype at the moment although the last time I used Swiftkey was about 2 months ago. The ability to switch from swyping and tapping/thumbing is lovely. The new swype is extremely good.

However, neither Swype or Swiftkey can beat a decent hardware keyboard for two really simple reasons: Hold Shift key. Hold Alt key

^.^ ^o^ @.@

And Alt-Del for deleting whole messages. Shift-Directional Key for selections. Having directional keys! All whilst touch typing.

Asian emoticons. So painful to do now. My gf's BB curve does all these so effortless. Takes her less than 2 seconds. Takes me nearly 8 no matter the touch screen keyboard.

But I will learn to be better and faster. *sniffle* damn do I miss my hardware keyboard.

Was going to demonstrate the above from my Milestone but couldn't be bothered to pull out the sim card etc. :p
 
Stock ICS keyboard supports the holding of shift/symbol keys and applying characters :)

Modded ones from custom ROMs also allow cursor movement using the volume up/down keys/
 
I was using swype at work and someone asked 'what the hell you doing'? When I showed him what it was he wanted to know if he can get it for his iPhone. :)

Emotions and physical touching make you weak. This is the future.

Heh, just tried it and indeed it does! But the symbols and numbers aren't two tiered from two alternate holds thus you're forced to go in and out :(

e.g. You can't do (^_^) quickly on ICS Keyboard as you need to release the ABC/123 shift after (, go back to normal then single tap again into symbols and tier down/alternate again to find ^. The ^ symbol is behind the next layer, grr!

Swype is actually quicker than ICS Keyboard at producing these as you can simply hold down the tiered keys to access the list of symbols (just remember that T/5 has ^ after long long* press)

Honestly, if Swype implemented a Alt and Shift Hold system then it will be near perfect. Just need to think up a way to implement the directional keys.


*long press is 5. Long long press has T 5 ^ and erm a weird Russian p? Don't even know how to do it on my keyboard!

Trying to get a good deal on this phone, looking at 18 month deals. How do people rate T-Mobile as a provider? I live in the sticks and the free SIM I got to test gets me HSDPA at home which is good. I have heard rumours that they cap their mobile internet speeds, is this true?
