    Battery life after update?

    Whenever there is an update the battery seems to drain faster for a bit then it settles down. Had the same issue, stopped the media download, turned off my live wallpaper restarted the phone a couple of times and it's now fine. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Android Central Forums

    What's one thing you dislike about your Galaxy S3?

    All you have to do to make the screen visible is use Negative colours! I do this all the time and makes the screen very visible. When out of sunlight turn off negative colours.

    Phone overheating while charging

    I would check that you haven't an app running that could be the culprit. I found that some task manager apps caused that to happen so I uninstalled them. Also check any widgets running and things you have automatically synching. I also stop all apps running and clear memory... it could be...

    Best SMS app for s3?

    I still like What's App because of the fact you are not limited by 160 characters and for sending photos it's great. Also great if you have a group of friends on iOS. It was very clunky on the Blackberry so I didn't use it as much as I do now. The Samsung galaxy SIII screen makes what's app look...

    Best SMS app for s3?

    Go SMS pro. It's so customizable and regularly updated. I have been using it since July when I first got my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I love it. I actually have mine set to look like the iphone text theme - neat. But there are many other themes to choose from many are free. It just works very well...

    Anyone coming across from Crackberry?

    Made the switch in July and could not be happier. I had a Bold 9900 and totally love my Samsung Galaxy SIII. It's such an amazing phone. The camera is fantastic and I love how you can customise the phone to make it truly yours. Just back from the UK and so glad I had this phone for my holidays ...

    Conclusion: S3 design is bland

    Perhaps if you'd started with a less inflamatory title? Like " Just My Opinion: Design is bland." Or: " Aesthetics of the Design do not appeal to me..."

    Conclusion: S3 design is bland

    For viewing in bright sunlight/outside I use the Negative Colours option. Settings >Accessibility > Negative Colours. It's also a widget. I've no problem seeing the screen outdoors even in bright sunlight as long as Negative Colours is switched on. When I get out of the sunlight or indoors I...

    Swiftkey safe on s3?

    Turn on Haptic feedback in settings. And ensure you have it checked as an option in SwiftKey3. Just remember that Haptic feedback impacts battery usage.

    Finally found a case I love (pics) / Mini-review

    I ordered the Iface cases, didn't like them as the didn't cover enough of the phone for me. And I found they showed oily marks easily. But thanks for the review. I did find it useful. Sent from my SGH-I747M using Android Central Forums

    Finally found a case I love (pics) / Mini-review

    I first thought the Otterbox was bulky but that was before I actually tried it. Now I have it on my S3 and after trying more cases than I care to think about I can say that the Otterbox is hands down the best case. It really adds little if any bulk to the phone. I was surprised. It gives all...

    IF you're not having battery issues...

    I had a Blackberry 9900 which had relativelyt poor battery performance. The SG3 does a lot more so I was expecting the usage to be higher, however like you my screen typically showed 55%-60% usage of battery power... seemingly even when it wasn't on for most of the time. I was concerned so I've...

    Which screen protector are you using with your Otterbox Defender?

    Re: Which screen protector are you using with your Otterbox Defen I hated the "screen protector" that came with the Otterbox Defender. So much so that I removed it from the case the same day I got it. It made my beautiful screen look blotchy and full of watermarks, and... almost cheap (and I...

    IF you're not having battery issues...

    I was reading about the battery issues some are having. One of the things I wondered is if anyone has tried disabling background processes? I did and while I wasn't having battery issues such as mentioned here I did see an improvement. Whenever I clear my RAM I noticed that it would close 40 or...
