The 'official" "I am disappointed with the S3 thread" - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So we see and read about the love affairs with a new toy. Thought I would start a buyer's remorse thread..... (maybe some good deals on used S3's will pop up)
So now that you have it and it has not met your expectations.....What will you do? Back to Note ? SGS II... Wait for iPhone 5 Note II?
This probably will be an empty thread for a long time LOL

Best phone EVER. Nothing to complain about. Solid build quality, awesome screen, speaker is excellent. Love the ripple unlock. S Voice is a little hit and miss and is missing the cheekiness of the iPhone. But overall solid!

Quality phone and I think if Sammy hadn't been brave and recalled pebble blue before release this thread could have been busy but that's the beauty
Mod Or Die

Wait for a noob to post some silly complaint !!

Well so far that's not encouraging for finding a great deal on a used one soon....LOL
I see more HOXs are suddenly appearing in the Market Place...........
Just having some fun... Perhaps move this to General forum.

Sorry but to support you i can give you links for LG O3D and HOX disappointed owners threads if it will make you happy?

I havent got my S3 that I pre-ordered weeks ago. Thought this thread would bring me some happiness but no... just made it worse, lol.

No one is disappointed ? Lol this has to be a world record in the mobilephone world Even iPhone for S had complaints.
Come on people let's hear those disappointments. There's a fire sale on HTC ONEs in the marketplace

i too am disappointed with the s3 thread.

No remorse, but it's annoying that I can no longer change the brightness by sliding along the status bar.
Any fix for this available? (like an app or so)

disable the auto brightness and try again. That's how it used to work in SGS2 stock rom.

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how

ok so I'll brave it... I am a little disappointed.
S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.
But apart from that, this phone is a beauty.

Countdown!

One week left!
This thread is a countdown to the Note!
Everyone, share your favorite thing about the note!
I love the form factor. No sharp edges, large screen, thin, you know what im saying.
I love the size of the screen, the HD factor, the thin-ness, the glow that the capacitive buttons make on the white phone
!!!!!!!
I CANT WAIT!
!!!!!!!
Will it come on Friday for everyone??? That would be wonderful because I'm going out of town from Friday night to Monday night.

Like a giant Captivate with GPS
For those of us longsuffering Captivate self-flagellators the Note comes just when I am happy with ICS.
BUT . . . can't wait for . . .
Screen I can actually decifer while browsing the web . . .
Still fits in my pocket (was tempted by the 7" Tab way back when as a phone and tablet combo)
Gorgeous screen to actually watch videos (that's the one thing I don't do on the Captivate, just not enjoyable compared to a tv)
using the S Pen, and all that it will do (screen grab and write notes on maps, etc., actually be efficient/quick taking notes in meetings, lunch orders, shopping)
Can't wait

Yeah I haven't been this giddy about a device since I got my new laptop. I have been upgrade eligible since August 11' and I have been waiting for the right phone. This is the right phone.
Man I hope I don't get disappointed. Every time I get stoked about something its always turns out to be a let down. I'm gonna need to be more pessimistic about this phone.
i've been holding off on ordering accessories in case they didn't fit, but i think i might regret that decision!

How are you showing off your gnote?

So, as you are all probably aware of by now, this phone gets people's attention. Anywhere I pull it out strangers come up to me and ask me about it. I tell them it's like a cross between a phone and a tablet and then I show it to them in action. I usually show them the split pane email screen and then a screen grab along with some annotations with the spen.
What functions or apps are you using to show the note's capabilities to strangers with short attention spans?
Careful now, u don't wanna have one of those strangers grab it and run.

I build / repair computers so I get a lot of traffic daily and everyone here knows I like to be an early adopter of everything. I don't make it a point to show it off, but if someone see's me using it and ask about it. I'll pitch it like a salesman would. The screen size and vividness usually grabs peoples attention. As far as apps, It's android, the only novelty is the s-pen. I will let people use it that I know are responsible while they are in the shop.

That was actually one of the reasons I refused to get an iphone - the iphone people running around showing off STUPID apps. I thought they looked like tools.
Lightsabers or whatnot.
If someone approaches me about the Note, though I do want to show how great it is. I want it to do well, and I want to kind of steer people away from all the STUPID Note ads.
The biggest oos and ahhs come from:
1) Playing video - best to use a HD one already on your sd card. (youtube is lower quality)
2) The keyboard - I often hand my phone to people to let them type their contact info. They very often say, 'wow.... this keyboard sure is nice'
I use thumb keyboard 4's 5" layout, max landscape height. Very comfortable.
While I talk about the note I casually do:
3) Games - I like to show puzzle quest 2, since it is very dense graphically with statistical numbers. Casually mention that playing it on a small screen is just painful.
4) Google Maps is always impressive, especially if you demo GPS lock.
5) For 'readers - amazon kindle, minimum size font/minimum margins is very impressive. Tons of text, and very readable.
I never show off the stylus to be honest.

Well I showed mine off to a AT&T corporate guy and got a job interview for at&t business sales from it.

Well to make a long story short. I shifted my jeep an my phone in the ottervox was on my dash. I had the doors an tip off an bam my phone goes flying by me. I hurried up an pulled around unto a park an ran out on us12 ( a main highway in my town) . The screen was on an I could see my phone unharmed. I was so happy that my otterbox protected it. There ewere cars comin so I waited just as I see a truck switch lanes an run over my phone. I ran out to it pissed off an I see. The screen shattered an dead pixels on the bottom. My otterbox was smashed to pieces an I inspected my phone. The touch still works but the left half of the screen is black. An I can't read the bottom half of my phone. I'm makin a claim an they are sendin me a s2. So I won't be here much longer. I liked this phone too. I'll post pictures later. Just wanted to say my farewells to this forum. See yah later guys!

I'll answer your question with a question.
Why do people start useless farewell threads?
Farewell threads are troll bait and really are not needed. I'm not a fan of them if you can't tell. I'll leave this open for the time being, but you can expect it to close at some point (because undoubtedly the trolls will come).
And side note, too bad they gave you a Crapsung device, If my only option was an iPhone or a Samsung, I'd take the iPhone and I hate Apple with such a passion that every time I even see an apple in the grocery store I want to blow the place up, but I hate Samsung even more, they make crap phones. I've owned a couple Samsung phones and they've all been total feces, wouldn't work half the time and the other half they locked up.

Could you try making a coherent post please? This one makes no sense whatsoever.

Stepping up from S2 to Optimus G!

So to start off my 1000th posts id like to say i am very, very satisfied with the LGOG, coming from the Galaxy S2 which was a very good device even up to now but it was time to upgrade, I really gave props to the AT&T rep that recommended this phone, i was going to get the overrated S3 in Red or wait on the S4(which i found out is too big from rumors of screen size) but after touching this phone i was immediately sold on it. Its butter smooth and the display is incredible, i dont care about SAMOLED anymore cuz it put it to shame IMO lol and the quality of the feel of the phone is second to non i feel like im holding a real expensive phone compared to my old S2 even the S3.
LG really stepped up their game on this phone, although the only deal breaker was a non removable battery but the battery used on this from what i read up is real good. The lack of accessories like car docks, cases etc. and ROM development sorta disappoints but i know for a fact it will spring up and its a new phone so im giving it time!
Other than that i got a slamming deal at Costco for $50, Im sure i made the right move, probably the best out of the years ive owning a smartphone lol. I saved money at the same time bought a device that is comparable or yet even better than then S3! Plus I got an extra 16GB card which makes it 32GB total! Looking forward to communicate and contribute some beta testing and feedback with the development here at the OG sub forums! People here seem more matured than in the i777 forums, this will make up for the lost time due to all the craziness there lol
See you guys around!
Good to have a new, enthusiastic OG member. Welcome.
I come from an S3, and wholeheartedly agree with your post. Except I paid nearly full price, but worth every penny!
Welome! Beers are on me!
Have to say, coming from the S2 myself, I do notice the screen difference . . . in favor of the S2. I LOVE the deep ass blacks on the AMOLED S2, but the OG seriously takes the cake when trying to show people things. Don't matter how you hold it, the OG has the same color from almost any angle. The speed . . . well . . . no comparison. The OG wins hands down without even second guessing.
However, I do like a lot of the features on the latest JB release for the S2!! I have to hold off on commenting further until we finally get an AOSP rom,. and can start cherry picking features from other roms! Can't wait!
BTW,. nice BMW. Seems like a lot of guys here are car guys.

I just came over from the Atrix HD, myself. Loving the bigger screen, physical buttons, and above all the speed. The battery has left much to be desired coming from the AHD with the EB40 battery mod where I was able to push 9+ hours of screen on time. A usb charging pack will clear that up, though. With more power comes more battery use! Mainly switched to this phone because of Nottach. The ROMs he made for the OG Atrix were absolutely amazing. Can't wait to get this phone activated and use his (and possibly work on my own) ROM in the near future.

Have to say, coming from the S2 myself, I do notice the screen difference . . . in favor of the S2. I LOVE the deep ass blacks on the AMOLED S2, but the OG seriously takes the cake when trying to show people things. Don't matter how you hold it, the OG has the same color from almost any angle. The speed . . . well . . . no comparison. The OG wins hands down without even second guessing.
However, I do like a lot of the features on the latest JB release for the S2!! I have to hold off on commenting further until we finally get an AOSP rom,. and can start cherry picking features from other roms! Can't wait!
BTW,. nice BMW. Seems like a lot of guys here are car guys.
Got a 73' 240Z myself. . . .

Another S2 owner in love with OG. But I have to agree about AMOLED deep black better than OG, I mean the sharpness on OG screams but black really is deep dark gray if put it side-by-side against S2. Also, screen maybe too sharp for its own good, hi-res photos look fantastic but size-optimized JPGs downloaded from the net look crappy because the sharpness exposes every detail of pixel compression and giving it an overall embossing feel which I really don't like.
Amoled Black's are a bit better but our whites are way better. White on the s3 is anything but. I see pink, yellow, and blue depending on the angle. Both displays have their advantages but our colors are more accurate and viewing angles are flawless.

Agreed about Whites being better on OG. I just wish we have a "movie mode" where colors are warmer and softer when viewing videos/pictures.

There is probably an app that will let you tweak your screen.

Another GS2 convert here. The only thing I miss about it is the TW clock. That Smart Alarm was the best alarm clock ever. I found a port for it but for some reason it doesn't let me change the default tone/song that is used. Which, of course, is super annoying.
Anyway, welcome, and I hope we stay more mature than the i777 forum.

I'm coming from not only the S3 but the One X and all I can say is I'm f***ing loving it.

I assume bubby is someone from the i777 forums.

Yeah. I guess nastybutler got there afterword. He was a dev who had a bounty to get him a device and promised to dev for it, but just gave it to his mom and didn't work on it at all. Complete **** move.
I was in those forums as a creeper and rom stalker for ages. My i777 is running Task and Ktoonsez AOKP as well as CM9. I guess I didn't run into bubby.

On my fourth M8 phone.

Dealing with AT&T has been a pain. The first three devices had a flaw or the other.
1. 1st device had scuffs and scratches and a fully sunken in volume rocker. I'd had to force my fingernail into the volume rocker housing to trigger a response.
2. 2nd one kept rebooting on itself and would show me an exclamation point.
3. 3rd one wouldnt charge past 95% and the speaker grill was raised and wasn't flush with the device.
If anyone has to exchange more than once AT&T will give you a hard time about it, but you reiterate to them and tell them clearly that the device was DOA out of box and/or defective.
This 4th one has been good so far. Crossing my fingers that this one is perfect. Once again I'm disappointed that HTC's device is a beauty, but the quality control has been atrocious. Wonder if it is a batch issue.

Pretty much +1
So that explains why my M8 is on back order lol just kidding!!! Hope you get one that doesn't have problems!
Benefit of the doubt: You're on the losing end of a statistical improbability
Caveat: If you are specifically looking for imperfections you will find them
Hope the next one fits your expectations, spending $650 definitely calls for that
ha just noticed the corners of the screen on mine aren't completely flush with the body. ordered my dev edition from htc.
no biggie in my mind. glad you got it sorted, op.
mine is flawless.
Picked up mine at local att store and it looks great
Mine is very good condition. No issues

My question is, how are people getting unflush speaker grills when there not a separate peice, unless there talking about the whole thing with the speaker holes not being flush.

My first m8 also had an unflush top speaker grill on the right side. It was literally too long to fit on the space provided, but my 2nd is flawless and I am enamored with it.

All three of them had pretty much unacceptable issues. Especially if its a serious hardware issue, the battery doesnt work, etc. If you're paying premium buck for something then you expect it to come out of the box looking and working like a premium device. Im talking strictly out of the box without user error or damage coming into play. I'm not the only one, look at the links i posted.

Yea the videos arent mine, two youtube techies that posted videos of their experience. No need to be a prick, you cared enough and took time to comment on my original post, so I was just responding to you. "Smfh"
Yeah I felt bad for you. 8 hours and not a single reply..
Besides I just said what everyone else was thinking when they read this terrible thread.
In can't wait to get my s5 so I can trade in for the m8. I messed up and jumped on s5 pre-order train not realizing biggest mistake off my life. Lol. Hope its clean. Good luck on your last replacement.

I should edit that to "my biggest tech mistake of my life" LOL. More meant to be of my modding xda ways. I love the phone, hate that they are locking them down. Dont want to wait for a work around. If the HTC was locked I would be stickign with this but now you can unlock the m8 easily I think I have to trade up. I will try both in the store also, if I hate the HTC I wont get it. But for some reason I think Im going to love that metal chassis.
