Wow the silence.... Maybe I asked my question wrong. Does the TMO S5 have a light or dark theme to the SMS, Phone and Contacts apps?

Relax, these forums aren't very active yet. The T-Mobile version comes stock with light/white themed TouchWiz apps.

Thank you, when you see so many views and no answers it makes you wonder. All in all the silence in the S5 forums really are shocking considering Samsung is saying sales are fantastic. I'd say DEV response is very very low...

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised as well. Normally I just lurk, but it's been so quiet around here I've started chiming in.
As for the dark themed apps it will be easy to replace the T-Mobile versions with ones from another carrier on a rooted device.

Hey, sorry if this question may have been asked before... but I heard a rumor that the pebble blue version of the gs3 sometimes has some problems that the white version doesn't...it's this true? Should I buy a white version from Verizon instead?
Thanks.

Yes this is true. The blue version has a reboot issue. Apparently the colour of the phone causes a kernel panic
Of course its not true.

Yes, happens when the kernel can't work out if the phone is blue, grey or nearly- but-not- quite black, depending on lighting
Joking aside, OP I hope you are aware though that regardless of which colour you go for, Verizon models have a locked bootloader unless you buy a "developers edition" from Samsung. There's also a forum dedicated to the US variants of the S3 so you might want to have a look through that rather than the international forum in case there are specific issues with US models given that the hardware is different
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Some of the early blue ones (international version) had a quality problem with the paint finish.
For that reason, first deliveries of blue ones was delayed, because a load got sent back for rework on "quality" grounds.
That is probably why you have heard there might be an issue.
As far as I know, there is no technical difference. Buy whichever you like best!
Right, thanks. And I'm aware of the locked bootloader.. but I won't mind touchwiz for awhile

currently im using the note 2. I want to upgrade my contract with rogers! So now im going nuts! Cant decide between the htc one and the s4!
What I mostly do is browsing the web, texting, email, pictures. That's what I mainly do. And yes I watched all unboxing of both! I freaking cant decide. Most important to me is the keyboard while browsing or texting. My bb10 has by far the best keyboard. I do like the note 2 keyboard with the extra row of numbers.
You guys tested them and know more! Please help me deciding! The one should launch here soon in Canada.!! Witch and why? :highfive:

Do you want a device with premium quality that is built solid and has natural colors on the screen (like iPhone colors)? But don't mind the battery not being removable and no sd card? The HTC is for you.
Or do you want a light weight phone with a bigger display that is usually pretty easy to customize with removable battery and sd card slot but have more cartoonish colors on the display?
What won me over to HTC is the screen and build quality but it is different per person... The things you mentioned can be changed with a mod or app from the play store(go pro, chompsms, handsent, swiftkey etc). The only difference would be camera

Are you considering that either phone is going to feel small now that you've been using the note 2? I believe its gonna come down to personal preference . Both phones will do the things that you have mentioned and will do them very well just on a smaller screen.

I played with the phone for 30mins at the store. The keyboard impressed me with how quick it was and the swipe ability was flawless. Camera was very fast at shooting. The pics look real good and it also comes with a bunch of editing effects. Like any other phone it's not gonna take DSLR pictures but is gonna be very decent for FB and such..

Kk thanks. Is it really worth coming from a note 2? Does the keyboard has auto correct? I dont use swipe. Also not into using keyboeard apps.

The swype ability is already implemented in the stock keyboard. Its very useful for when your using one hand. And the auto correct woks like any other android keyboard. If it don't satisfy you I recommend perfect keyboard from the play store. It has the best auto correct I have seen on android. And a lot of customization like choosing from 5 different click sounds when typing.

So, I had the Note II for a little while, though went back to the S3; the Note's are just too big for me personally. Build quality, HTC One wins hands down. Camera, HTC One wins, I feel like the Samsung camera's over saturate the colors, and the exposure is a little off. Stock keyboard on the one is way better than the Note II. Screen, goes to HTC One hands down. Samsung screens over saturate and don't look like natural colors. Sound, goes to HTC One, both with headphones and the speakers on the phone. I honestly grew to love Sense 5 over Touchwiz. I am sick of Touchwiz. I have been with Samsung since the Galaxy S, I'm sick of plastic, and sick of Touchwiz.
Honestly, if I were you, get the HTC One. You won't miss the Note II, well, except for the screen. But the ppi more than makes up for it.

I played with it in stores, even the bloated AT&T model was extremely smooth. I've never felt a phone faster. My eyes couldn't see any flickers or frames lagging. Though, idk how HTC is with updates. Personally never owned one, only borrowed friends. If its not carrier branded I am sure you'll see good updates come reasonably quick. Though someone with more time with HTC devices may correct me.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
HTC is just as bad as Samsung with updates.. Then the carrier takes their time with the update.
Don't expect updates to come quickly and you will be fine.
So AT&T said they'll give me a new phone due to some hardware problems on mine (gaps, dead pixels, etc) and I was wondering if they'll have a blue one.. ever.. Cause I have the black and they asked me which color I would like so.. I dunno I'm just hoping.

In anticipation of the official 4.3 release,I figured I would take the liberty to create this thread to discuss the overall performance of the release.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I'm actually curious how much different it's going to be from the 4.3 AT&T rom I have installed already. I was kind of bummed out when I flashed it and it didn't have the multiple users support that some have said it would have.
So am i! This is really the last stop before I root and modify.with the last update causing issues with obtaining s-off, I'm hoping for a more simplistic result from the update,but not counting on it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I could be wrong, but I believe multiple user support is tablet only.
The at&t release will not be anything significantly different than what is already available for the international versions/dev editions

Can you provide the quote from MacKenzie? I thought he said sometime this week but didn't specify an exact day.
This doesn't relate to the 4.3 but I went to Bestbuy to check out the Note 3 and was very tempted to get it..but I noticed that the speaker sound quality was horrible. Maybe I'm spoiled with the front facing speakers on the One. I'm waiting for the One Max and from the pictures...It's huge. Hopefully I won't get tempted and jump on the Note 3 even though the speaker sucks.

The one major benefit is a new radio. There has to be. I was on the rooted stock version before the unofficial 4.3 rom and after taking that system update (which updated the LTE bands) my service was crap. I upgraded to the 4.3 update and LTE was improved AND the areas where there wasn't the best service.

One guy told me that he had gone trough 4 AT&T note7s, and that they were all too "crap" aka faulty.
I used for a week and couldn't handle the lag...I am used to Samsung lag after using S3, Note 4, Note 5 but this lag is terrible. I just feel they rushed the product. Initial release of UX software to Note 5 was smooth...but they screwed it with Note 7...I heard it is only for US carrier versions though. But the battery has been good...

My 3rd note was bad, but not as bad as the first 2 were. Even though my 3rd device had issue, I really hated handing it over for the recall because I could end up with the replacement being as bad as the first 2 devices.
No lag for me either. I loaded manually only the apps I needed.

Phone itself: 10/10
Best phone I've ever had. No lag, great battery (though I did have to disable some bloat to get it), and the phone is gorgeous. My only gripe is the autocorrect which works badly IMO.
This whole recall mess: 4/10
It sucks and it's concerning. My phone hardly gets warm while charging, but you never know if or when something bad could happen. I'm not too scared though.
Im glad Samsung voluntarily took the hit and did the recall. It just sucks now that the government has gotten involved and that everyone is scared and that the media is just eating this up. Once the new phones come, I'll get one and be happy for quite some time!
