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

Exceptional!

But you forgot to mention other details like screen brightness and if smart stay (eye tracking) was turned on, phone calls, texts, what is syncing etc.!?!?!?!?! :p


So far gman and mrks usage are the only ones that I have been impressed with.
 

Instructions For Flashing Firmware:

Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5

Does that delete everything ?

Best to backup with titanium pro ?

Do you need to be impressed for it to be validated? :o:p

Dude ignore that! Like I said he's just copy and pasting from elsewhere. There is no need to wipe anything or take battery out

Brightness is on auto, no haptic, turned off Smart Stay about half way through (doesn't seem to do much tbh) syncing Facebook/Twitter/Gmail/Dropbox, phonecalls (not long though) and texts. :p
 
Damn :(

Just placed an order with Three on The One Plan and I appear to have failed a credit check, Got an email saying.

"Thanks for your recent order with us. Before we can send your order we need to confirm a few details with you."

Someone is going to call me soon, I waited and waited, no call so I called them and guess what? Closed :(

My credit score is great! no problems whatsoever. This is the very first time this as ever happened to me, is it a Three problem?

That is pretty epic then with auto brightness. If Samsung can sort out any bugs and provide that kind of battery life across the board, it will be pretty amazing.

Happened to be as well, They called just to confirm a few details and then they processed the order !
 
To those who have recieved the Pebble Blue in the last couple of days... does the new "Metallic Blue" colouring fit with the "it actually look like gunmetal grey" descriptions posted around the interwebs?

So many conflicting opinions about it!

Yup! :p :D

Nah, it is just every report that I have read and going by my friends battery life, it isn't great, hardly any better than the X and certainly no where near what mrk and gman is getting :eek:

If mrk and gman weren't getting that sort of usage and was only getting say about 3 hours and like 15 minutes on screen time, then to me that is pretty rubbish nowadays and thus won't impress me :p

Very good then! :)

Great battery life especially when you take into account the screen! :cool:

Depends on the lighting. Right now mine looks "grey" I just tried to take a pic with my old desire (i.e. blurry vision camera) and the flash made it the phone look more blue, but nothing like the almost purple colour that the original press release photos showed.

Cheers :)

Good to know I'm not on my own then, Just hope the Pebble Blue is still in stock by the time they get round to calling me.

Was hoping to order the wife one as well!!!

You can phone three sales on 0844 338 0330 (from 8am) and tell them about your message, they will either sort it out with you or they told me I had to email their credit checking department on [email protected]. They sorted the problem out within about an hour of my email so they don't mess about :).

I'm sure you'll be fine, I'm a student and they let me get an S3 on The One Plan...
