Dang it! I wish I had not installed the update. I am sooooo mad now. I am at 25% battery right now and it's only 3pm and I have BARELY used my phone. I changed the global network to CDMA, thank you for suggesting drmaf. I rebooted the phone after and it has def not helped. I also...

Please help! I got my update on my S3 and for the 2nd day in a row, I have to plug my phone in to charge it by 7pm. I have never had to do this before since I owned my S3 (when it was first released). Usually I have about 20-30% battery life left by the time I go to bed at midnight! I have...

Thanks! Will try that. Same with Hotmail. I dunno why this is happening but in the past I had no problems on other phones so I bet it's something on the S3 not being worked out so far...

Thanks. Have the brightness taken care of. Yahoo still won't update right. And Hotmail is completely not downloading at all onto my phone ANY new emails! ????? I hit refresh and log out and back in and nothing. I have 26 messages in my inbox on my laptop but shows no new messages for the...

Hi there I have what I think are 3 bugs that I would like to get suggestions for. First is that yahoo email only updates my messages to read if I read them on my phone. If I read a message on my desktop, it will show unread on my phone. So if I am reading 10 emails at work on my pc, it...

Not here. This is by far the best battery life phone I have had. I am going on day 2 with 50% charge right now with moderate use including phone calls, games, reading the Kindle on the phone and email checks, etc. No longer plugging in nightly, which is super nice! Katherine ;)

Re: Verizon Galaxy S III First Impressions/Reviews Probably a good idea because sounds like you have a lemon. This is the fastest phone I have ever owned (and I have had them all, most recently the pretty darn fast GNex). The screen is gorgeous, and even brighter than the GNex. Battery...

So is there a workaround for my husband? He is an iPhone junkie (and is on ATT) but when he saw my S3 (and the battery life), he wanted one. He'd need to open a new line on Verizon and port his phone number. He's a very heavy data user on his current plan with ATT. Any way to get him...

Me too! I tried so hard to like it but it is just awful. I had Swype on my GNex so this time around I thought I would try SwiftKey just to try something different. I have to say I LOVE it. It's predictive capabilities are out of this world!

And shouldn't there be an eyeball notification icon on top of my dropdown for the phone "watchcing me?" I activated the stay on feature but I am not seeing the eye everyone was talking about in the initial reviews. But I do see this diamond with a plus in it??? Katherine

Re: Verizon Galaxy S III First Impressions/Reviews Adding to my review: 1 day and 7 hours on the same battery charge so far! YIPEE. 4h 32 min of screen on time. WiFi on the whole time, BT toggled off when not in the car. Have 10% battery left. VERY HAPPY about this! Katherine

Try uninstalling. Then go to amazon.com on your laptop/desktop and have Amazon send you the text message again with the link directly to your cel. That fixed this problem for me last time (about 2 mo ago on my GNex).

OMG!! I want your phone too!! This calls for a bidding war!!

Not sure what the signal strength tells me since I have lousy signal in my house anyway (live in a hilly area with poor coverage). However, call quality in the house is fine with no dropped calls. This in comparison to just about all the other phones I have owned through the years, where I...

Thank you for the replies! Disabled most of the annoying Verizon apps. (Had to delete the updates first and then disable them). May have to consider rooting once it's available to get the rest accomplished. K
