Re: I've got the Samsung Galaxy S3, ASK ME QUESTIONS!

Alex, I've got the same phone here in the United States, using it on AT&T, and have read in AC about several updates being available for my international version i9300. When I try thru Kies or OTA, nothing is available. Another web site, Sammobile, thinks my phone is not supported in the US and that I would have to flash any updates using Odin or something similiar. What do you think?

Re: I've got the Samsung Galaxy S3, ASK ME QUESTIONS!

Is it possible to use the feature that formats Web pages to mobile style that Google search has? It was a great feature I used to Take advantage of in my nokia n78 when I was in a low cover area , Google make Web browsing lighter and faster but I can't seem to find that option on Google search. I use s3 with Chrome by the way and just been loving the phone!
Cheers :)

Firefox for android has an add-on that does that. have you checked in settings for "user agent" in Chrome?

Re: I've got the Samsung Galaxy S3, ASK ME QUESTIONS!

Hi! I'm looking to buy a Galaxy S2 on ebay. My question is, should I get one that is jailbroke or one that is stock? I'm not very savvy when it comes to updates, etc. so I don't need anything that is going to be difficult when needed updating. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello guys and thank you for your welcome!

I would like to ask you if there is any way to change the " touch tones (sounds) " !!!
I check everything in "settings" but I found nothing else than how to TURN them ON or OFF !
I really hope, you to know something or from the settings (something that I didn't see or any other trick!

thank you in advance

You have to transfer your own sound files in the respective phone folder, they will then show up for you to choose.
