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

[Murphy5111]

Wish the screen was brighter. My droid incredible sucked in the sun and this isn't much better. Gs2 was great in sunlight. Also would like to see physical buttons go away.

I know the phone is a great thing, but are there some things that bother you about it? It could be big or small things, and no comparing to any other phones lol

For me:
- The ability to not turn off LTE with a toggle, I know I can do it by dailing *#2263#, but I think there should be a toggle
- The home button instead of the touch screen buttons like the Nexus has....I though that was kind of cool for touchscreen buttons, and you could customize it for certain apps

Not really deal breakers at all, I LOVE it overall, but just some things.

I wish I could mount the phone on my Mac again for transferring files across. - AFT, AFT, wherefore art thou, AFT?

I also wish that if I reboot the phone with sound set to "mute" that it would stay on mute after restarting. It always defaults back to "sound" and scares the crap out of me because the notification is set to 4000 dB.

And I wish that the camera didn't take pictures all by itself. Anyone else experience this? Whenever I have the camera open for longer than 15 seconds or so, it just snaps random pictures without me pushing the button or issuing a voice command. Not a major problem, but it's annoying.

I used to really hate the keyboard selections this phone had. The only one I liked was the JellyBean keyboard, but after 6 weeks of using swype, I think it's the greatest keyboard out there! I really have to try to get it to spell words wrong!
Not sure that there's any one thing that I don't like because I know coming from iOS everything here is different. Having a unified inbox like on iOS would be nice. Otherwise, I'm really loving this phone, and Android overall.

I know this says it's for the HTC Thunderbolt BUT I have used it on every device I have had (Thunderbolt, Rezound, Razr) and it still works, its worth a shot and I think there is even a widget for quick changing. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...etails?id=net.andirc.lteonfoff&token=VmeJ3FSm

I have just switched from the iphone and love my Galaxy S3. The only thing I am not happy with is the way my email locks up all the time.

Touchwiz.

But its gone now

I don't like how the stock browser can't repopulate words to fit the screen when I zoom. And the lack of a browser home button.

I don't like that when I'm using headphones, notification sounds come through the phone speaker instead of the headphones... that's just stupid!

The swipe keyboard sucks.

I think most phones can take pictures while on a call

Are little nit picky I know. But yes, if I need to use it outdoors in direct sunlight I wish it was a little brighter.

No universal search. I know Apple had the lawsuit and had it removed....webOS phones had and still have that function. Being too small of a player kept them under the radar. I'll agree with the screen brightness not being bright enough outside.

I don't like that you can't put anything on an SD card with the Sprint version. Completely stupid.

You can't put apps on the SD card if that's what you mean? Can't do it on Bell Mobility either...unless you root.

 

[funkylogik]

sd card is for media

I would have liked the lte toggle. I would have preferred 3 capacitive buttons instead of the physical home button. But if it came with on-screen buttons like the gnex I wouldn't have gotten the phone at all.
