Galaxy S3 - £20 pm

600 minutes, ult texts, 3GB internet - £99 phone cost 24 month contract.


Good deal?

What network was that with? I'm currently waiting to see what the Nexus handsets are like, but if they fail to impress I'll probably go for an S3 to replace my S2.

Feel free to share the details of where you got this deal!

It would be off no use to you sadly - its an old employee 50% discount deal when my bro used to work for T-Mob. The whole family was kitted out.

So am I the only one with a stupid Tmobile locked phone that hasn't rooted it and still doesn't have the update

I feel your pain, no update here either

 

[awaybreaktoday]

I put this on XDA but thought I would post my findings here:


1. When you flash the ROM with Aroma, do NOT install S Voice.
2. When phone has booted (any boot not necessarily 1st boot), use Titanium Backup to "restore" S-Voice, choosing App+Data
3. Reboot phone

Now when you double press the home button, S-Voice is NOT launched but is replaced with Google Voice Dialler which allows you to dial numbers from the phone using your voice either from phonebook or by speaking the number.

This also has the benefit of stopping the phone from exiting the app when you wake the phone using the home button within a few secs of the phone screen turning off.


As I said, it may not work but I have tried it 3 times and it works every time.

Where do you get this Google Voice Dialler app from....

You cannot say that and not post a picture.

Flashed the unlocked (btu) stock Rom over my t mobile branded ics rom today. (Gave up waiting for t mobile to release their own update) Best thing I've done so far as the difference is huge, and i thought ics was pretty good. I'd agree with others that the grey colour of the notification bar is a very strange choice. Stock keyboard seems to have improved massively and chrome is now running smoothly for a change. WiFi signal strength has also improved moving from 2 bars on average to a full 5. They finally put a nice hi res icon in for the gallery too.

I am sure that this news will make a lot of GS 3 owners very happy!

Samsung to bring Multi-Window view to the Galaxy S III in December

Wonder if they will bring other features of touchwiz on the noteII like the better camera/gallery app, especially slow motion recording to the GS 3

This might sound odd, but with JB has the charging (+) rate been decreased, im sure it's taking longer to recharge compared to ICS, could just be me so forgive me for asking

 

[CSA]

Vodafone (UK) now updating to JB via kies if anyone is interested

 

[AndyCr15]

One thing i noticed which im sure wasnt on the stock rom i was using since i first got the phone is that now in the camera, you can actually speak and it will take a pic...how cool is that?? ie if you say smile, cheese, capture or shoot it will take a pic.

Almost certainly this was in from the beginning. I think it was featured in the initial press conference. If I had more time, I would look it up...

No updates here though (unlocked).

Try KIES.
