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

[jivegirl14]

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.

yeah three capacative would have been much better... any1 know the reasoning behind the physical button? it certainly doesnt add to looks.
i use it as an "on" button and a prox sensor app as the off button but id hapily sacrifice the physical home button and just use the power button..

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

I must be in the minority that likes physical buttons. The physical home button would've been better if it had a trackback on it, but i like having something definitive that my finger can find and push. But i agree that if they were on screen like the galaxy nexus, i wouldn't have purchased it.

One thing that I dont like about the GS3 is the lack of a physical camera button. And now that Sprint has pushed out its update that added a crippled Swype keyboard that took the place of the wonderful Beta Swype with Dragon dictation, that is the biggest thing I dont like about my Sprint GS3!!

The physical camera button would be nice, I did enjoy that on my Samsung Epic 4g. As Samsung's stock keyboard, just go grab the Swype beta and install it... Problems solved.. I did that on the first few hours for my wife and she hasn't complained a bit since.

Sprint released an update that added Swype. It's a less featured version than the beta that both my wife and i had installed. Now you have to be rooted to go back to the beta.

Probably because people like the sense of having an actual button to press instead of a touchscreen just in case the phone freezes or something like that, which I can understand

1) USA Variant's don't have a Quad-Core.
2) No 4.1.1 Jelly Bean/Project Butter
3) No 64GB version
4) The Fact there is no LTE chip in the T-Mo S3 (yes I know T-Mobile does not have LTE currently)

I still love the S3. I just don't see myself keeping it more than 2-3 years now.

.:edit:.

Oh! Also the fact Samsung has yet to release their own extended battery for their best selling phone.

I did not know that about the tmobile version. What kinds of data speeds do people get on their networks?

I'm missing how it works then, because it doesn't seem very obvious...aside from funky's tip.

Me either, two to three years from now, there'll be something out there that's even better.....or maybe not....that's too far away to even speculate though.

Someone asking what I dislike. LOL. I wish it came in 32 GB with Jelly Bean from AT&T with HD LCD2.

Just because I'm lazy, can you tell me how to do that. Thanks

You could probably do that with a kernel that supports color control.

That it's branded and tmobile has more rights to how my phone operates than me.

Root, and take control of your phone!

There is a widget installed on your phone already

Are you talking about power saving mode or is there something else? Thanks.

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.

Agree on the alert sounds problem. Not had this issue, if ever, on any of my previous Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone/iPod, or Blackberry devices.

I rooted my s3 before but then I had to unroot and take it back to tmo for overheating, they replaced that one and the second one couldn't even get a signal, had to take that one back. Now im just skeptical about rooting this one just in case I have to take this one back too

If you're not married to Touchwiz and want to give JB a whirl, Cyanogen Mod has a built in LTE toggle.
