It is a great phone and operating system. Is it your first Android?

Yup. :)

It's great!

Lots of settings and things to play with! :cool:

Trying to find decent widgets to suit my needs. I like very uncluttered stuff, and info at a touch of a button. Things I use the most are:

Calendars
Emails
Texts
Maps
Camera


However I'm thinking as an iphone user - so I need to expand my horizons a little.

One thing that I haven't worked out how to do yet (which may not be possible) is the ability to use the camera despite the phone being locked.
 
Just picked one up today on o2. Quite a departure from the iphone 4 it replaces. Its only a stop gap until the 5 comes out. Very impressed so far and who knows i might end up keeping it.
 
My god! So many iphone owners have moved over to the GS 3 now! :D

Samsung's marketing (copy of Apple's style) must be working!!! :p


The apple hardware sub-forum is looking a bit dead lately :p

My screen reached 44 degrees yesterday while backing up over WiFi and screen on while doing on while charging at the same time.

Rather warm :p

You should stop putting it in the microwave. My pool was 26.5 degrees yesterday but it didn't the cool down my phone. :p
 
Anyone on a branded phone got the update that came out the end of last week yet ?

I asked on the vodafone forum if they were working on it and a whole bunch of "experts" jumped on me saying "why do you want that, its not Jelly Bean you know"..
errm, yeah I know... I want it for a whole bunch of other reasons!

Half tempted to flash a stock ROM, but knowing my luck it'd screw the phone.. Seems people on 3 have done this and lost all service...

You can either add a shortcut to the camera under Settings > Security > Lockscreen options > Shortcuts

Or in Settings > Motion, you can enable quick camera access. It works by rotating the screen whilst pressing it :)
 
Hi, I got my S3 monday as my upgrade from my HTC desire the original model and so far I am loving the phone. One question I have is do anyone know how to stop google contacts syncing, as my problem is when I link it to my mondeo's radio for the handsfree, it gets my phone book, but it shows all my google contacts which have not got numbers and is a pain to scroll through in the car.

Ive stop google syncing, but it still does it. Any ideas would be greatful. Thanks.
