    Phone is on its way to Samsung for repair.

    You are right and I should have just gotten a replacement from Verizon to start with. I've since called them and they asked me to go to a corporate store so they can reproduce the issues that I'm reporting. I've been busy the last week but I'm heading over tomorrow. I just have to make sure that...

    Very concerned about Screen Burn in...

    I had this issue on 4 out of the 5 Gnex's that I went through before I got Verizon to switch me out for a razr maxx and I always kept my screen brightness lower then 50%. My Gs3 has had no signs of any kind of burning yet from day one there are quite a few large specs in my screen that can only...

    Phone is on its way to Samsung for repair.

    Not to be the bearer of bad news but their repair department is horrible. They had my GS3 for about 3 weeks and not only didn't repair it properly but actually created more problems with the phone then when I had it before. I called to complain yesterday and the tech said that they are...

    My GS3 is finally being sent back from Sammy tomorrow!!

    So I've had the phone back for two days and it has more problems then before I sent it out. One of the main reasons i sent the phone and battery was because it was taking over 3 hours to charge which it still does. The imperfections in the screen were not fixed and reception is only a tad...

    Things I dislike about the Galaxy S3

    Even though I had to send my phone off to Samsung for a few issues I love the phone to death and don't have any reasons to consider anything else. I have a razr maxx and while the phone runs well and the battery life is stellar it's just plain boring compared to the GS3. I'm picking up a spare...

    Lost my S3, Asurion on backorder

    Just a heads up whether you are using lookout, where's my droid or any other phone finder app your gps must be enabled to find the phone. To save battery life I only turn on my gps radio when I'm using the google nav app so I think I'd be screwed if I lost my phone. I'm not 100% certain that...

    My GS3 is finally being sent back from Sammy tomorrow!!

    lol the repair center is in Texas so I doubt that would do any good but I'd try it if I was that close to any Samsung offices I would have given it a shot just to speed things along. Just received it and I'm setting it back up right now. Reception seems to be a bit better so far as I was pulling...

    My GS3 is finally being sent back from Sammy tomorrow!!

    After over 3 weeks and a couple of days Samsung has finally shipped my device back from their warranty repair service and it's scheduled to be delivered by ups by the end of the day tomorrow. I know this isn't really a topic for discussion but I'm so excited to have her back that I had to post...

    Verizon's Galaxy S3 vs G-Nexus(which is better?) [HD]

    Right on I'm glad that some people received fully functional units. I blame Verizon as I don't think that their refurbs truly go through the 100 point checklist that they claim the devices have to pass. Like i said I loved the phone and vanilla ics but I guess I just had horrible luck. There...

    How do I use AllShare Play?

    I have a $80 bluray player that has wi-fi and dnla support and I know it used to link up with my Evo 3d so any tv or br player with dnla should work fine for viewing pics and video wirelessly.:cool:

    Verizon's Galaxy S3 vs G-Nexus(which is better?) [HD]

    The verizon branded nexus for me had the worst battery life of any phone. Random reboots, horrible data connectivity and after the 4.0.4 update I lost consistent screen responsiveness on 3 different replacements. I went through 6 of them total and i never rooted because every replacement i...

    Verizon's Galaxy S3 vs G-Nexus(which is better?) [HD]

    I've owned both phones and comparing them both stock the GS3 blows the Gnex out of the water in everyway possible. There was so much lag on the Gnex that it was an unacceptable and even when i got great speeds on lte or wi-fi the phone was just slow. I know that the Gnex is considered a...

    I'd report it to Verizon and Samsung as well as this isn't a widespread issue, at least not that I've seen.

    SD Card Issues

    No issues with an old 16gb card that i used to have in my Evo 3d. The only files that were corrupted were the 3d images on the card. I'm grabbing a 32 or maybe even a 64gb card in the near future though. Not to hijack your thread but does anyone know which class of micro sd works the best with...

    Buying a uses s3

    I've noticed that a lot of the phones ate rooted on swappa and for me that might be a deal breaker because if I'm going to root I want to do it myself, other then that look for the phones that are considered mint. Swappa is no joke and from here on out I'm bypassing Ebay and C.L. because they...

    Slow 4g

    I've seen higher upload speeds with a few different phones from time to time, also when doing speed tests make sure and check the server that is closest to you for the most accurate reading.

    S3 in a constant wake lock

    Check out and see if the stay awake function is set for a long period of time and just check your general settings for display and also check the security settings as you might have the phone set to never go to sleep. If none of those settings are the culprit try a soft reset and a battery pull...
