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

Just spoke to Play.com and they said that they will get the white ones in tomorrow, and look to have the phones sent out on the friday :/ Surely they should be pushing to get them out straight away? :/ And because of the bank holiday and public holiday, I could be waiting until this time next week. :(

Ha, that is terrible.

Play's customer service and delivering is notoriously poor.

That is bad. If they go on Friday you'll probably get them next Thursday.
 
Just imagine what you are going to be like by the 12th of June. :p

Lady on the phone said it'll be sent out tomorrow, also wouldn't we get it on Saturday ?
 
I know play are poor, but I didn't really have any options on where to order... Work messed my pay up, and I had to scrape money together to get £500 in my account, and have to work for a stupid cheque to clear for the rest! So had to go somewhere with free delivery. :(

That's what I'm hoping for Deep, but the bloke definitely said not to expect until next week. If they ship out tomorrow using a courier, I'd be fairly confident of it getting here on time.. But I guess we'll see? :/
 
Am I being a complete idiot..?

With s-voice isn't is supposed to be awoken with a hi galaxy command? Mine does nothing and only works with a button press instead.
 
Was it out for delivery or have they just screwed up?

They (Yodel) had my phone yesterday, no status update until 10 this morning-looking like I wasn't going to get it until tomorrow, going from Yodel telling me this on the phone/twitter. Cue my epic half hour rant to CPWH, which left them conceding that they didnt know why it hadn't gone out today and would chase it up. Then it appears on the status that it was out for delivery at 14:24 (an hour before I called) and that it was "apparently" on a van this morning all along and it hadn't been tagged to say so.

Load of rubbish from both parties to be fair, but I've got it now and on my way home to get my geek on!

Don't you have to enable/setup in settings to use it.

Have a look in the manual:

Those apps that run in the background when you open them, even after pressing the home button... anyone found a way to manually close them without having to go to Task/Application Manager?

You can hold down the home button to get multi tasking menu and swipe either left or right.

I can't figure out how to change the apps on the lock screen? Does anyone know how to do it.... I've tried every possible way to do it and I'm stumped.

Settings>security>lock screen options>shortcuts

It looks like you just press to turn them on and off but it opens another page to change them
 
Setting up my new SGS3. :D

I didn't want to wait for the blue one to come out and then realise I didn't like it. Would have waited if it was black and the screen blended into the edge of the phone like the S2 but thought the white looked stylish when I was in the store. :)
