Yeah, they're really annoying. It's the voLTE indicator. Turn voLTE off to make them go away.

Nooooooooooooo. VoLTE is a huge leap forward in codec (voice) quality. You probably don't want to eschew the feature per se. Instead, grab an app to suppress the notification icon that annoys you.

Haha thank God I was getting ready to shoot skeet with this s5 ha no jk I couldn't I guess I got to get used to it huh?

Oh those are annoying. Must be specific to that rom then or something I think.

It didn't have the slightest effect on quality for me. Sounded just like HD voice.

Dude Immortal Technique hell yes Lupe oh no.
Atmosphere is my **** Aesop Rock Evidence good stuff.
I am everywhere with my music but hip-hop(people that aren't like Nicki Minaj or Waka Flocka) and rock are my main.
I have recently been introduced to the so called "dubstep" and i actually like it. One of my friends let me hear tracks from skrillex, deadmau5, emalkay, flux pavilion, cookie monsta, bass nectar, and blue foundation. Apparently, dubstep has been around in the UK(started there as well) for ages but the US is just starting to talk about it.
I'll probably listen to Smashing Pumpkins until the day I die...but I'm also into Keane, and Travis..

But as of lately I been getting into all different types of 80s-90s Heavy Metal

So is Svoice better then Siri?

To those in Europe/Asia who have played with how is it versus Siri? I'm contemplating buying it this summer if its Quad-core

Unless you're in USA and you got to get the 4G LTE version with Snapdragon S4.
Or order it online and get international version with Exynos.
I'd say both are equally useless.

Agreed, but looking forward to shouting "SNOOZE" ya bar steward, at it in the Morning
I'm skeptical:
If I want to make fun of my friends with their i**** I say "ask siri what the weather is like in fuerteventura"
If the iSheep does, siri answers after an eternity "I don't know"
an eternity later it she says "Shall I look for you on the internet?"
if you say "yes", you end up with a picture of the island.
Then I take my SGS2, say "weather fuerteventura" in google voice search and seconds later the brower opens with the usual weather graphic.
The iSheeps say it's because it's the german version of siri. But I say BS!
We'll see....
Watching someone trying to get siri to work in a noisy cafe or street is very amusing, they look like such idiots.
They would rather spend 5 minutes trying to get the stupid phone to understand them than actually do it themselves in 5 seconds by tapping the screen a few times.

S-voice does much worse in that video "The joker are taking a fat?" although, of course, this is only the english version.
Thing is, though, as others have pointed out, both do pretty badly in real life. Voice commands are little more than a marketing gimmick right now, good only for performing basic tasks or showing off. Indeed, there's a class action lawsuit on Siri for being portrayed as more effective than she really is.
S-voice and Siri both works exactly same kind. But S3 has more advance features than iPhone 4S. So for now S3 is better, but iPhone 5 will come that can change the whole phone market.
Iphone 5 will come out and disenfranchise all the fanboys because the apple snake no longer has its spiritual head ruling the design process with an iron fist.
We will see i guess, totally not expecting magic though.

So S-voice requires a data connection as well? It'd be bad
I read somewhere that you can take a shot with S-voice: it could be fun and useful. It replaces a remote control if it properly works!

I actually look forward to this too, but I'm going to make the snooze function react to the word "poopypants", because wouldn't that just be great? With the SGS3, "poopypants" can be the first word you say every day, setting the tone for the rest of your day AND annoying the hell out of the wife after a while as an added bonus!
On another thread someone has already confirmed it does nothing without a connection even when its a local request like opening an app.
As to voice control I like it when it can go directly to something that would otherwise take multiple clicks or drilling into menus. Like in my car I can push one button and say "play the Rolling Stones" and it gets it every time. Nice and easy, no drilling into menus, no muss, no fuss. I could also say "temperature, 72 degrees" and it will turn the temp up to 72 but I never do. Its easier to just reach over and spin the knob. The same would be true of the phone. Rather than open the player, scroll to the music, select it, it would be a saving to just name that band and have it playing. On the other hand I'm not sure why I would ask for the weather when I can just tap the screen once and I got it.
there both crap
Like 75% of people who will own this phone, I will never use the voice features, they have always been bad, and I have never been able to find a use for it.
Your voice recognition is bad, and you should feel bad.
I would use it casual, but not professional. ONly to impress friends ;p

Pokedex Theme

Ok, I just think it would be cool if someone was able to make a Pokedex UI theme. I'm not a huge fan or anything, I just know that thousands of people would instantly get this app if they thought they could turn their phones into Pokedex's.

Actually found a way to display the dex rotating which was pretty bloody easy really,well at least on my galaxy S4.Simply use the built in frames widget if your firmware supports it and it will rotate them,the drawback is that you can only display each pic for seven seconds before it rotates to the next,anyway just a though in case anyone fancies trying it

S9+ Camera Brightness Keeps Resetting While Taking Video

Hello, All! I take a lot of low-light video of my musician kid performing in small clubs. The problem I'm having is that the brightness is always at max when I start recording. So, I move the slider down and it's great... until I touch the screen again. Then it returns to max brightness, so I have to keep adjusting it throughout my video clip which is visible in the final product. I often need to touch the screen while taping to snap a still photo or zoom in or out. This issue is maddening and is making me consider buying a different phone which is too bad because I still really love my S9+ otherwise.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere I'm not aware of? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, everyone!

this is a recurring issue throughout all of the last 5 or 6 Samsung phones. The only way of getting around it is to use a non-standard app. I dont video live shows nearly as much as you do, in all likelihood, but i was at Armin Van Buuren on 2.1.20 and i had the same issue. Same issue with Slayer a few weeks prior to that, concert prior to that was outdoors and during the late fall with plenty of light, so that wasnt an issue then.
Try out some different camera apps in test conditions so you wont be let down at the next event.
The cameras on the S9 and S9+ are very good, but i will tell you that some friends of mine at the aforementioned Slayer gig had far worse seats than me and had FAR better pictures and videos with his S10. The difference was striking.
