Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III review: S to the third

20 May 2012
Today is no ordinary day for the GSMArena test track, which is about to see the Bugatti Veyron of smartphones do the rounds in an attempt to beat the lap record of its predecessor. Samsung have spared no effort to protect the Galaxy S III against any odds.

Ratna, 18 Jun 2012Hi All, I'm using S III from last 1 week. Below are few ... moreHi Ratna.

To answer your questions:

1) This has been happening to others as well.

2) Polaris Office (the full version) is currently unavailable for download. Though the pop-up claims you can download it from "Samsung More Service", there is no such website or anything like it on Samsung's Applications on the phone.

3) You have to go to "Developer's Options" and check the box that says "Enable USB Debugging"

4) You could install 3rd party apps from Google Play or you could simply use the "Developer's Options" to limit the number of apps running in the background.

Hope that helps.

        i really tried to like this new S3, had it for 6 days, took some videos of a few gigs, used it intensively with all its great feature, but the audio is awful on videos, with no bass, tinny and distorted, its reported all over different forums that Samsung have messed up the audio on video, i also had dropped wi fi connections on it, sent mine back today, totally dissapointed, loved the screen and look and speed of it, goodbye Samsung :-(

              Hi all,
              Not had any problems with my S3. Battery life seems to be very good.
              The only thing I woulod say is that the camera isn't that good and a bit of a let down, apart from that it's a good phone.
              Give the phone a chance people!

                        For those only seen from paper here, go and play a real S3 device, you will know how impressive they are start from design to it functionality and performance.

                        It is not a small updates from S2, so far I feel this is the best phone ever did by Samsung.

                        Never regret pick it up replacing my previous S2. :)

                                    "It doesn't look good. This Galaxy S III apparently malfunctioned while in an in-car holster, causing some substantial melting and burn marks across the lower half of the device. The global HSPA+ iteration of Samsung's new flagship apparently sparked into white flames, followed by a bang. While it's certainly not the first smartphone to implode in transit, the damage -- along the base but separate to the charging port -- looks pretty substantial and although the screen still apparently worked, reception was dead. The phone has been whisked off to a repair center through phone retailer Carphone Warehouse for the full autopsy. User dillo2k10 was left unscathed, but it's apparently left some nasty molten plastic remain on the inside of his car. Hit up the gallery link below for some more scorch-marked close-ups."

                                      I'm using task killer, but still thats not helping me much.
                                      Also, do you know why the battery shows 100% charge and when I pull the plug it shows 99%?
