Had my S3 for a couple of days now and getting around to setting everything up. I've been trying to connect to my home wi-fi but I keep getting a message that there's an authentication error. Works fine over 3G though.

I have just made a .mkv file of a blu ray i have using makeMKV and put it on my Galaxy S3 and whilst it plays it ok, it still exibits some distortion/pixelation during fast scenes as well as some hitching. It isnt playing it back properly or smootjly basically. Is this right?
Ive have tried it in MX player as well as the default player and it does exactly the same on both players.
I though this was able to play 1080p .mkv files?

I take it the WEP/WPA key is correct?
What kind of router is it? I know on some e.g. Orange router you have to press and hold a button on the router to turn the pairing mode on
heeeellp!
my s3 wont connect to my pc, I get usb not recognised (code 43) I have tried everything and still no joy!
Have you installed the drivers??

Have you tried the file on a PC player e.g. VLC?
Yes, plays fine.
Can anybody give any help with this please?
I have just changed the rom to Omega 6 with the camera mod, and just trying out the video I have noticed it has a background hiss. It may have been there with the stock rom but all the videos I have taken before have been in noisier places so not so obvious.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Try other players (VLC and BSPlayer) and make sure they're in hardware mode. Tbh I think using full blu-ray remuxes is kind of mental, when you can make a vastly smaller encode and not notice the difference on a phone screen, but to each their own.
I agree, I have converted it to a 720p AVI/H264 now and it works perfectly and is a much more sensible size

Convert?
I leave them as is.
But when friends weep at the thought of not being able to fit such files onto their USB sticks I use one of these:

If I'm uploading to youtube then I use Windows Movie Maker as it does the job just fine and the WMVHD profiles at 720 and 1080P are of high quality vs small filesize.
Anything local is Handbrake encoded to h.264 and either MP3 or AC3 audio(if the source is multichannel)

Not bad, I'm getting good battery too. Been mainly on mobile data today with a screen time of about 3 hours and the rest on wifi.
I done a few battery saving tweaks so will see how I get on tomorrow.
I'm sure I can get over 6 hours easy if I was just on Wi-Fi

I am thinking on making the Jump from a iPhone 4S to this phone. Main reason is because I am board with my iPhone and I fancy a change .
I was in 24 month contract with Orange but that ended about 3 months ago now and I went into a 12 Month Sim Only deal with Orange but I am pretty sure there was a silly cooling of period of like 120 days. So I should be able to get out of it and upgrade to a different phone.
So I am wondering what is the best deal existing customers are getting with Orange?
