I've got the Samsung Galaxy S III, ASK ME QUESTIONS!

I have just updated the firmware on my Galaxy 3, and was asked at the same time to upgrade to Kies 3, so I did that as well. Now there is no option - either on my phone or PC - to synchronize my calendars, tasks or contacts. The previous menu option on the phone (Settings/More settings/Kies wi fi) has disappeared, and the Sync option on the PC (for either USB or wi fi connections) has also disappeared.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know the solution?

Having just spent the best part of an hour on the phone to the Samsung support centre, they have now admitted that it is not possible to synchronise with the new software! So if you need to synchronise, DON'T UPGRADE!!!

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 3 I9300 and and Audi A4 with built in bluetooth, etc. My Samsung's phone list is properly set up for first name and then family name, but the same list comes out with family name first on the A4 "screen". Samsung version 4.1.4 and Audi say it must be version 4.0.2. Strangely the "missed", "received" and "dialed" numbers come up on the Audi scree correctly (with first name first). I tried changing the "show list by" option on the screen with no change.

Froco29,
Be glad that anything works - Bluetooth with automobiles and Android seems to be a crap shoot. Just search the forums if you doubt my assessment.

Some people update the firmware in the car and things improve; some people fiddle with the Bluetooth configuration in the car and things improve; and some people have no luck at all (and complain about how it 'just works' with their iOS-based devices).

If you've tried all of the sorting options and display options on the phone side, and if there's nothing that you can change on the car side, perhaps it's time to look online for Audi forums to see if you have better luck. (Or you can send me the A4 and I'll loan you my Mustang while I try to sort it out.)

Jon - I have experienced exactly what you have experienced. Spent ages on the phone with UK Samsung Support and was eventually told that there are 'issues' with KIES 3 and that it will no longer be possible to sync with my MS Outlook Calendar, Tasks & Contacts. Support had no information about timescale for a fixed KIES 3.

Samsung really has made a pig's ear of this firmware and KIES update. It really is disgraceful to have released such error-ridden updates to users.

Based on a link I saw in another forum, which described the changes in Kies v3, they have intentionally removed the syncing features. It wasn't a mistake and they won't be adding them back.

Hi,
I am new to this, so please bear with me.
I bought unlocked (sim free) S3 (GT-I9300) over 16 months ago from the UK.
I live in the Republic of Ireland.
My problem, is that when I installed the "SKYGO" app using the Irish Playstore version, it will not let me.
Its indicates that I cannot use the app while roaming.
Also I have to set use "data roaming" in the settings, in order to access the mobile data using a local sim card.
I do not incur any extra charges for this.
Can anybody help>
Thanks.

Hi my phone wouldn't take a charge so I opened back and cleaned with soft small brush. Still didn't work. So I got a fully charged battery and now the phone turns on and sounds normal but I cant see anything on the screen.

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

I also have the samsung galaxy s3 for about 2 years now. This is now the second time I've had the following happen: "email sending failed" from my sbcglobal.net account. I also have work and college microsoft outlook accounts. No passwords changed (except for my gmail email account...which i never use). Why won't my email send?
Things I have already tried:
-deleting accounts, restart, and reinstalling email accounts
-deleting cache under Setting-app manager-all-email-clear cache....then restarting phone
Help! Ain't nobody got time to go to verizon and sit and wait for help:'(

Hi Alex,
My question is to do with the post flash camera. I've read that the cyanogenmod camera software is less well developed than the Samsung equivalent. If I use an app like Camera Zoom FX Will this compensate?

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

Welcome to the forums!
a picture of a girl pops up then quickly disappears.
Is it an attractive girl? In a skimpy outfit? I guess I'LL have to start sending really long messages...

Heh heh - this is a strange one. Are you using the stock Messaging app?
Does this happen every time? If so, you could try booting into Safe mode http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/59242 and see if the problem persists - if it doesn't, some 3rd party application is causing your problem.
