Video/Voice Calls? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Should we be able to do Video Calls to other phones with front camera? I recall some ROMS from SGS to Captivate occasionally having an issue with the Video call button still on the screen. However I don't see any such on these.

I believe att disabled it.

Jerks...disable FM; disable video voice; might as well have deleted the front camera.
I'm sure we'll get a way around it some time.

GSM Arena shows the button on their US review. I thought they were using the ATT Model.

That is ridiculously crappy if carriers are going to block it out. I see where some Canadian carriers are making customers pay extra to use it.
Edit: Me thinks they removed the feature from all US phones so far. Checked the manuals for AT&T, Sprint and T-Mo online just now and none of them mention it. I'm guessing GSM Arena used screen caps from the international model.

Does this have anything to do with it? Don't know what SIP is.

Activate this device

Has anyone used this option in the settings? It gives you a day old usage from minutes to data. The only thing I noticed is that it labels minutes as megabytes. Ha
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Why did they call this 'Activate this device'?? Never looked at it until now, MB glitch is kind of funny though. Especially since the data usage is listed in kb!
I've used it and what it does is refresh your PRL and firmware and tries to talk with Sprint to refresh tour activation settings. Once it does it displays all your plan data.

It's funny because its entirely different from Wireless and Networks > Usage.
I guess it's their to force an activation if hands free fails, and they just needed to put something in there if the phone IS active already.

Well the usage of android is not the best way to check usage and even says on it, the one you see in the activation is what sprint sees

Did you or anyone ever get this to work? Its very strange. I lost the option on my Dell Streak when the Google Play's "Redeem" feature got PUSHED out to my device. Once it was updated it graciously removed my billing option.
"contacted" robotoc google since no real person ever responded and their canned responses says "its your carrier fault" practically.
With no good response from Google, i posted on their G+ pages still no response.. over the weekend 11/16, it showed up on my phone!!!
the several days later.. like yesterday, its gone again
Google pushing this crap and they dont want to own up to working with it to get it to work.
Mine works just fine..

This is just awful. Had to post some hands on disgust about this garbage

You missed the giant logo on the back, compared to the minor to no branding from the other carriers

Who gives a flying F over the button? I'm tired of hearing this crap because we've known about the button for over a month now. If you don't like Verizon just switch. Verizon has been tagging their phones with their logo for years. If the button bothers you so much buy a button sticker.
Edit: Here is a sticker for $7 bucks. Wait a little longer and it will be half the cost.

Can you confirm the batteries are the same for the Verizon vs other model?
I don't even have vzw we just got these at work. Just wanted to swing by and make fun of it. Didn't take a single second to check other threads. Same battery and part number. Enjoy the stickers

HALP! I can't hit all my letters

over the last couple days my onscreen keyboard has been acting flaky. I cant select so of the letters, e's are r's , s's forget about it. if I rotate the phone it works. do you think the digitizer is bad?
There is a touch screen test app in the play store that you could try, and you could also try a different keyboard and see if there are similar problems.
I hope that halped.
wow, it is screwed.there is about 1/2 inch band top to bottom that you cannot use

yeah no wp8 either *spit* looking at LG optimus. I just dont want to make a horrible mistake like my wife's HTC inspire, i really wanted to upgrade that, too bad my atrix is becoming unusable for texting
Hm, phone recommendations now? This is quite off-topic here, not to mention there are several other threads about this already...
Get a replacement digitizer with the bezel off eB!ay and search YouTube for a guide to replacing it. I've done it twice now and I'm rubbish at fixing things usually!

Barometer?

I just found out about a barometer in some Android devices, but it doesn't look like HTC phones have a barometer. Anyone have any confirmation? Maybe the hardware is there but there are no drivers?
A barometer would typically be used to help with GPS, but is now being used to help short-term local weather forecasting with PressureNET. I'm in western WA, and anyone around here knows the local weather is difficult to predict. It would be cool to help contribute.
I am pretty sure it doesn't. What devices do have it?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
Really?
+1 for what devices have a built in barometer? That seems like a really niche feature for a smartphone.
The Motorola Xoom has one. Originally it was thought it could be used with Google Maps and it would know what floor of a building you were on or so I was told.
They are usually listed as a " pressure sensor" and they are supposed to help with GPS. If I remember correctly the s3 has one.

Yeah, the Xoom and various Samsung devices have one. I was hoping that some HTC phones would possibly have the hardware but not the drivers (yet). Oh well, wishful thinking.
Galaxy nexus has one.

Having a problem getting a direct embedded picture. And the stupid browser is so old.... sorry.
Anyways, the screenshot is of temple run. Notice the "Pressure" entry -- misreported, or is it a barometer reading? Weirdness.
