General question for you S3 owners, if you tap the top of the phone near the speaker/front camera area, does it rattle? - Mine started making a rattling noise anytime i tap the front of the screen yet everything appears to be working fine and no adverse affects as of yet.

Also the ear piece metal part, is any of yours raised on the right hand side compared to the left side, or again is that just my handset.

mine has/does neither of those things.

Yes if I tap it near the top it does rattle, but only very slightly, and no there's nothing raised on mine.

Yes to both. Mine has a slight rattle when tapped at the top and my earpiece is raised about 0.5mm on the right hand side.

Ive just switched to the S3 from iPhone, what music client do you all use/recommend to manage your music library and playlists from the PC? I was using iTunes for the iphone, but obviously this is no longer an option.

Im also having issues with the bluetooth in the car if anyone can help with that...I cant seem to access my contacts via the in car entertainment unit like I could with my iPhone. It means I have to punch in numbers manually while making a call which is less than great while driving and to an extent defeats the purpose of using bluetooth!

Hopefully Omega will grab this, finding lots of bugs on v18 with full wipe, Phone is always awake with various alarm managers showing in betterbatterystats,
I may just have nailed it by turning off google maps reporting localtion and a reboot but im not sure.

Lost 15% from a full charge over night, usually only 3-4% down

Ok that's put my mind at ease, I'm not sure but I think the rattle is the headphone socket.

I really do hate the mirrors for Wanam ROMs, really needs a decent speed mirror. And the torrents (where available) are woefully slow as well.

Oh, look what's arrived at work:

Looks a bit erm...you know.

Easy Phone Sync. It's free and you install it on your PC and handset. Then you just sync your iTunes playlists over to the handset. Perfect for me as I use iTunes daily as my music player due to having had an iPhone and iPad in the past.

torrents always quicker for me but still a 20min wait

 

[mrk]

Torrent reaches (after ages) 2MB/s usually which is woefully slower still in my books! I want 12.5MB/s!

Nice pink S3!

Thanks, that sounds exactly what I am after.

guys, one thing i hate about upgrading tro new ROM is putting my email accoutns back into the phone, i have about 5

whats best way to back these up so i can restore them with one click of a button?

i have Rom toolbox Pro if that helps - just need to know what to backup in the All apps part

thanks

 

[Myshra]

5? Jesus. I'd probably just do the whole lot with titanium tbh.

Could you not add these accounts to a single Google account so it pulls them from there? Gmail even allows you to send from the other addresses if you wish.

This is how I've got mine set up, also means they're pushed to the phone rather than it having to go looking at set intervals.
Does anyone know if you can reduce the amount of time between gmail checking the other accounts?
