    Rapid Battery Drain Issue

    My guess is it was a run-away program caught in a loop and using 100% processor. Do you know the last thing that you did prior to the overheating? Will it happen again? Yes, as long as you use "that" particular program under the right set of conditions. It may never happen again too. So, I...

    Gs3 problems

    1 and 2 sound like a poor signal problem or Verizon overload. For 3 stop using the stock browser and use something like Chrome instead. Chrome stopped all of my browser and black screen problems.

    Can't access SD card to get apps

    No. ICS does not permit installed apps on the external SDcard.

    MY Verizon GS3 has a separate brightness setting for the stock browser. Open the browser and touch Menu > Brightness and colors, turn off Automatic and set it to what brightness you want.

    Twonky?

    Looks like it's an app you installed from the Google Play Store. Uninstall it.

    Galaxy S3 signal issue and Verizon support

    A couple of days ago I did the following measurements at my house: 4G LTE -111 dBm 3G -94 dBm 1x -93 dBm I have no real explanation why the big difference between 4G and 3G (Verizon). My guess is I'm hitting different towers for 4G and 3G or the same tower and there...

    Do you really think software updates will fix reception issues??

    At my house the 4G dBm reading is -111 and the 3g reading is -94. That's a big difference. If others are experiencing such a difference it might explain the issues with 4G. I have no clue as to why the difference. I speculate that it's either a different tower for 4G (because of fewer 4G...

    lock screen? black screen blocks dialing voicemail

    As a temporary solution have you tried putting your password in as part of the voicemail number? Or make sure your power button is not set to hang up phone calls and when the screen goes black just briefly push the power button and the screen will come back on.

    saving audio files for notifications

    Move them into the Notifications folder on your internal SDcard. If it doesn't exist, create it. I like my ringtones and notifications to be ion the internal SDcard because on the removable extSDcard they are not available if you remove the card. You may have to reboot your phone for the...

    Home button problem?

    My home button is a fraction of a mm higher than the screen, just enough so that you can feel it.

    S3 battery

    The Boca office has better WiFi coverage with fewer dead spots than the Miami office??? There is better/stronger LTE coverage at the Boca office so when the WiFi signal disappears the phone doesn't have to search and locks in on a good LTE signal???

    Bugs?

    1. Default browser issues with Facebook is known. I use Chrome and the touch.facebook.com site daily and it works well. IMHO the Facebook app is piece of crap. 2. This is a known problem too. Do you have the max limit of text messages? One likely cause is you have reached the max number of...

    transfer pictures

    We mere mortals on Verizon and AT&T did not get this Dropbox allowance. Both WZW and AT&T opted out because they didn't think they needed the added incentive to attract or keep customers. I still use Dropbox, but at a much lower storage allowance.
