Best satnav app lads?

Been using google maps but would like something where I can cache maybe england as a whole.

I read the new tomtom app is out but not yet for s3 as they need to optimise the highres screen, Is it worth waiting for?

You'll find yourself flashing roms at least once a week, I wouldn't worry about what to settle on now

Yes. As a ROM noob, I now see it like I do Skyrim.
You spend an absolute age modding the damn game to make it perfect but rarely play it!

I should really get around to flashing a custom rom on my rooted S3 but just dont know where to begin and which one would be the best one.

I suppose im probably better off waiting for JB then seeing whats out there.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Just setting up my new S3.

When we finally get the JB update will we have to reinstall all the apps etc, does it do a complete factory reset to JB ?

If that is the case im going to hold off installing everything until the JB update comes out.

Not if you just use the official stock rom it'll be a straight over the top flash.

You can download sections from google as offline maps. It's irritating that you can only do <90mb chunks and you can only have 6 offline maps in total.

Shame the downloaded areas can't be used for navigation though

Cheers, hadn't tried it before so didn't know about that. It'll still be quite useful for walking/cycling out in the sticks but that's about it then.

How do I get the camera roll to save to ext sd card

On the stock rom, at the bottom of the settings list (in camera) there is storage which you can switch between phone and memory card. If your using a 3rd party rom i can't help.

you have to be rooted though right?

 

[GJ02]

its on super nexus rom i need to use the sd card for photos

 

[benjo]

Don't think the stock AOSP camera can save to the SD card because the Nexus doesn't have an SD card

Flash the Camera mod that smokey linked to earlier in the thread.

Guys just got this phone, loving it BUT the video recording has horrible noise problems, almost like static noise when playing it back!

Not happy, is this a known issue with this phone?

 

[mrk]

No. Post youtube sample!
