Just got my S3 and still figuring everything out! One thing I can't figure out is the notification lights. I can't get it to blink or change colors. It's always a solid yellow/green color. Text, email, what's app notifications are all the same. Anybody have a fix? Thank you!

There is a app in the play store called led tester that will allow you to test each color on the led. Your sounds broken to be honest since you can only turn the led on and off in the settings. There is no way to change the colors with the stock config.

Just got mine yesterday amazing phone so far. I moved from a DInc2 to this, wow it is so much faster, the screen is clearer. They actually included earbuds that dont suck. I am very happy with my choice right now.

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum - I just got my phone a couple days ago after having the HTC Thunderbolt for the last year. I'm in love!

The battery life is amazing and having service that actually doesn't drop is so AWESOME!

I'm enjoying reading this forum and watching Youtube videos about all the cool features

Based on my experience with the phone (since release date) I'd say you've got a lemon.

The signal strength sucks if you live in a rural area. My s3 which is now broken wouldn't ring at my house and would receive no data at all.. when I turned back on my HTC Rezound it got a much better signal, would ring everytime and also got 4g at my house.. other than that it worked great in the more populated areas.. The camera on the HTC also blows away the S3 in my opinion.. alot of darker photos even with the flash etc.. I'll probably be getting the new DNA after i actually test it out at a Verizon store soon

I just picked up the S3 yesterday and so far I am really impressed on how far along android has come. The device is awesome to use and has tons of features I don't need. With that said I am still learning towards my blackberry z10 even though it lacks so much it's ease of navigation is far superior to the s3 in my opinion.
