That's the secret power line.

How does that work mate? I would LOVE to do this to mine!!

I know the phone charges by sitting on the base but... how... does it make electricity jump into the battery??

Magnetic field inducing a charge in a copper coil strapped into the back of the phone which then charges the battery iirc, or something along those lines.

There's a mod somewhere that enables NFC on the lockscreen or with the screen off.

Shouldn't make much difference in your case though. I thought S-Beam uses NFC to establish a wifi direct connection to transfer the files. Wifi direct should stay on regardless of the lockscreen/screen off.

There is a setting that turns wifi off when the phone goes to sleep, cant for the life of me remember what its called though.

WIFI Sleep policy - in the wifi settings press menu to take you into more settings

Text Reflow is working fine for me in the stock browser. You just have to double tap the screen after zooming.

Excellent, thanks

Wifi direct works better for me, I too have had transfer issues with s-beam to the point where I just don't bother.

Thanks for this. I had mixed results with sbeam/nfc again and tried wifi direct and it worked both times I tried. Will be the way I transfer large files from now on.

Hey!

I'm finding it hard to sift through ALL the sgs3 data on xda and sammobile...

What is the most recent unbranded stock firmware for the sgs3?

Thanks

Hi all sorry if this has been covered before but I cant transfer files to my s3 via USB and when I could it seemed to take ages - I got a notification saying my device can perform faster if connected to a USB 2 port, but as far all my ports are USB 2 and it says that regardless of what one I plug it into.

Has anyone else had this problem and what method do you use for transfering files ?

I've had this problem before - try a different cable. also try a different pc to single out the issue.

OK I can transfer files again but it still seems very slow, so with that in mind I think cable and PC are ok it just wont transfer at USB 2 speed.

kona786 · 23 Jan 2013 at 16:46

I had the slow issue - just to be sure try another pc.

Most recent unbranded UK firmware is I9300XXELLA.

I9300XXELLC is newer, but I'm not sure where it's from. Not been keeping up with the Samsung firmware

Thanks, I sussed out a better way of sorting through Sammobile in the end and I came to that conclusion

So its 0XXELLA that's on it now, used the 3 branded version to keep the 3 modem.

I'm in a playful mood at the moment tho, so I'm going to pap Sotmax on it now with that 555 kernel

Just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S3, for £20 per month, for 500mins, 5000 texts and unlimited data with 3

What do I do tomorrow when I get the phone delivered! ?

Is there a nack for getting films transferred to another S3 via nfc/sbeam or should it work all the time?

There's 4 people at work who Ive tried to send films to with the above method and most of the time it fails. It can be 10% into the transfer or 100% (was just about to finalise and then failed). Ive tried a gap of a few mm's to a few inches and its always the same.

Makes me very

It's worked a couple times for me but it's very hit and miss. Quite poor actually. I also have trouble downloading large files from my pc to the phone over wireless, the phone has to be totally idle for any hope of success. With a cable it works every time.
