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.

@OP
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.
hi Guys,
i just got my Xperia S on Friday and today i noticed a "strange" thing: the bottom part of the phone right under the transcluent ribbon is moving back and forth a bit. is that normal? i'm a bit afraid it'll break.
thanks,
DJ
heck, i wanted to post this in Q&A... can some mod please move it? thanks a lot!
the bottom is swappable!
so yeah it could be a bit loose... shouldn't be too loose though

thanks! i was so freaking afraid of breaking it, it's brand new so i thought it might be some manuf failure. not too lose, less than 1mm but i still feel it
yeah, i just googled it, it's not swappable on the S but on the U... should i be worried then?

to all those who tried to help, thanks a lot!
I had this problem too and my phone's currently getting repaired. Sent it in because I had yellow tint, but also mentioned the loose bottom so hopefully they fix that too.

so not worthy to bring it back and get the phone replaced (in my country they have to replace it if i bring it back within 3 working days), cuz i most likely end up in the same situation? i also have this cracky plastic noise... oh, i love this phone otherwise, especially after my x10 one more minor problem is that the BL is not unlockable, that was disappointing, too, but hey, i can live with it for now until i get ICS
thanks for the answers everyone!
I don't know... i should just try to swap it, I don't have the problem with my XS
I cracked my screen and am not sure if a simple screen replacement will work since the crack extends past the screen and up to the earpiece, so its pretty much the whole height of the phone. How much would it cost to buy the parts to replace them myself (I know I can find a how-to on youtube or google) and do I need to do anything other than replace the screen?
I've also noticed my battery will drain extremely quick and take forever to charge, sometimes a day. Could this have come from damage when I cracked my screen or is it just another thing I need to replace?
Thanks in advance

Its not what is outside your phone, but what is on the inside that matters. But if you still need confirmation, take off your battery and find the forum that matches your phones real model number (hint: it isnt this one).

The skyrocket guys don't even call their phones an S2 just because it's so different from the i777 and international s2 (completely different internal hardware).

Walk in store, play with both phones, walk out with the one suits u best, end of story. Only requirement, a mind of your own.

He was just asking for an opinion, chill out!
There are several things wrong with this post:
1. There are lots of reviews of both One X+ and SGIII side by side and don't take long to read/watch
2. This question has been asked many times
3. I hate touch WIZ and Samsung's build quality so any Samsung smart phone is out of the question for me.

5. This falls under my pet peeves
My girlfriend recently got the HTC One X+ and her mom got the SIII so I've had a chance to play with both. The One X+ wins, hands down. Battery life is better, the screen is nicer, clearer, and has a real RGB matrix (as opposed to the PenTile on the Samsung), the build quality of the HTC One X+ is infinitely better than that of the SIII, Sense is vastly better than TouchWiz, and the One X+ is faster.
In short, the HTC One X+ is superior.
Disclaimer: I wasn't trying to offend anyone with this post; the above are (mostly) opinions
The one x+ feels way better on your hand when compared with the S3. The S3 has that plastic feel to it. Also, I feel that the speaker on the one x+ is louder and crisp.
THe bluetooth sound quality is horrible tho.

Sorry, but if you (we) can't find them on ebay, I don't know where to get them. Usually most people don't need these screws...
//I know posting should be English, but just that I understand it right:
//Also es fehlen nur die schwarzen Schrauben für innen? Und mehr nicht? (So only the black screws are missing? Nothing else?)
//Sind die verloren gegangen oder wozu? (Have you lost them or why do you need them?)
You don't have to lurke in the dark. Just be polite and it's good to see you apologize for your mistakes (trust me, not many people do that) You are always encouraged to ask doubts and post useful information! :thumbup:

Never buy only a replacement digitizer, it's very difficult (nearly impossible) to separate without breaking LCD: https://www.google.de/search?q=separate+lcd+digitizer
Better buy a complete lcd + touch digitizer "assembly", they have become quite cheap (starting from 15$/€):

Pretty cool to have that

thks my friend, i will buy one of these.
but i'm little curious. Apparently the display is ok, just the touch doesn't work. I've noticed that the screen is "transpiring" too much moisture and some screws and springs were rusting. Has anyone tried to find out why the touch fails along the time? its maybe a CI problem or umidity

Well humidity becomes a problem especially when the device temperature is much lower than room temperature (like when coming in from winter/snow ) because the air surrounding the device surfaces cools down and water condenses, even on the inside.. it happens with watches, too..
Or you (or someone close to you) might have dropped it into liquid (toilet?) when you were very drunk
in that case, take out battery IMMEDIATELY, dry clean with a cloth, carefully shake out remaining fluid, then put f.e. into a bowl of dry rice and wait at least 24 hours before trying to power it up..

This thread is a bit old already but I just unearthed my old SK17i while I was rummaging through my stuff. It got stashed away when it suddenly shutdown while it was charging. Checking, its battery terminals were shorted. Something gave way.
Perhaps you have a parts placement file lurking somewhere? I've tried our friend Google but she came empty-handed.

I have still like three or four sk17s here with various states of brokenness (screen, plugs, buttons, speaker...)

with some luck, a wayland phone distro will be usable on it someday :cyclops:
