All the phones out there are like that, don't know if that's a fault or a feature. So NO problem. The fact is, You will get used to that.

LOL!! Don't be giving this guy false advice...
To the OP:
Don't listen to skmminstones! Stick with your S2! Trust me you're just a bit bored of your S2, that's all. Once you switch the phone for the crappy xperia S. Just after 2 weeks you'll regret that decision, trust me....
Or get something that is actually an upgrade, such as the S3 and One X (As someone previously stated).
That's like suicide. You'll be crying down the line two weeks later.
A real upgrade is S3 or One X

Xperia S is a worse phone overall. Even though it has better screen resolution (worse panel though) and a better camera that's about it.
Good thing is it shoots much better videos in lowlight and does nice photos.
I would say better than S2 by a small margin in that aspect.
Overall I thought it was a really great phone until I actually played with it for a while... It's true. It is a downgrade. I am really happy to have my S2 instead of SXS even though it doesn't have 12mpix and a 720p screen.
Stay with S2 .
Why?
Because I'm here and I'm awesome.
Learn or atleast make an effort to Post in the correct section or gtfo to Xperia s forum

Xperia S is actually a last Gen phone with 12 map camera. Stay away.
i would avoid sony phones as they have started locking bootloaders on their new phone range , if your gonna stay on their rom then its ok.
heres the instructions to unlock
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* (or *#*#service#*#*) on your phone. This brings up the service menu.
Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Find the item for “Bootloader unlock allowed”. If the item is missing, or if its value is “No,” DO NOT continue with the rest of this guide.

Just noticed it as I read it again XD You know when you read something once on a forum then its still isn't enough to actually tell whether he is fking with him or he is serious
So this is what I learned today: Read the question twice!! <---What every teacher says to me coincidentally...
I think the sg3 is too big. The home button is in a bad position too. I played with a HTC one x. It's too big and had a permanent battery. What would I do? I have had to pull the battery out of this sg2 many times.
I think I will be staying with the sg2 for a good while. The HTC one s is the only thing a sort of like now but not enough to switch.

[Q] Slowly SIII

Hello I have a SIII buy from amazon.Sometimes the phone run really slowly and I don't know why.I make a reset factory but nothing,a tips to run more better?
Thanks!
this phone should not run slow anything right out of the box........i would be mad if i get my new S3 and i see lag.
how is that possible? go to local samsung office and tell them about it and get it mended.
There shouldnt be any slowness. u got a lemon. go exchange it.
No behaviour like that here so far...

May i know where u experienced the lag? how serious?
It was simply unusable. The only solution was restarting. Even after a factory reset wasn't helpfull. Now I have a new device. Until now all is ok. Fingers crossed!

[Q] Voice Feed Back?

I have the newish Samsung Galaxy S2X but people say that they can hear their own voice during calls, is this normal or has anyone else had this issue also is there something I can adjust in Settings to fix this cuz I am new to Samsung?
Thanks
Echo effect was often connected to noise reduction function. Try to disable it if your ROM supports it at all. Btw - which ROM you have?

Just close the ad.
Also, I just noticed you said you have a Galaxy S2 X. That is actually the SGH-T989D.
FYI, you're currently in the forum for the GT-i9100, which is the international version of the Galaxy S2. Two different phones. You should probably be in the T989 forums.

Sound Problems During Calls

Hello guys,
After my HTC wildfire S, I bought iCrap and since I got used to use Android, I sold it and bought Galaxy S3 :good: However, I have a big problem During calls people cannot hear my voice. I updated the latest version, but still there is a problem during calls. I dont know how to solve it. I think it s a OS problem and it s going to be OK after JB, but I am not sure. Could anyone help me to overcome this problem I will be really appreciate :fingers-crossed:
flash some different basedbands and see if it helps
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Try to set your phone in GSM mode only instead of wcdma and check your connections. Maybe this will help you.
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
I actually find my S3 to have generally brilliant call quality. I've come from a 4s and it's much louder and clearer than that was.

Your phone should works out of the box. Since you are not rooted. Get Sammy to fix it.
Do factory reset 1st to ensure is not apps related

You should try to deactivate Noise Reduction in call options. I had the same problem and that fix it.

Is the Galaxy S3 Black version really the same?

Kind of a stupid question for some of you xD but I just want to be sure that I'm going to be able to get all the ROMs i can get with the normal Galaxy S3 pebble blue. Is it going to be the same?
This would be the link I'll be using http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-black-unlocked-16gb-238383/ to buy it!
I just want to make sure there wasn't any hardware/software changes to the black version. Obviously, there shouldn't be but I don't want to go wrong for buying this one!

So be www l aware of that when flashing ROMs
