if you've ever complained about Google maps... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Now before I get flamed for the post. I put a lot of thought into it and am not sure of the appropiate thread for this. None the less it had me dying so I figured sharing it's worth the risk. I've had my fair share of complaints on Google maps in the past but I guess I never realized how bad it could really be...

That was great. I showed it to an apple guy that sits next to me at work. He tried to say, "well it's a new service." I quickly let him know that doesn't matter it sucks. They should have never released that. He didn't have much to say after that.

New my ass it's ios6 **** they got it somewhat right for the first five what the hell happened. Lol.

Yeah, its pretty disastrous! I been playing with my iPhone 5 that I received from my job today and it plain out sucks compared to goggle maps on my SGS3.

Words fail me to describe this, maybe I should ask Siri... oh wait, server busy

QUICK! Sell it and get an android! You won't be able to find your way to work tomorrow - it's probably covered in clouds!

Wow I'm so thankful that i have an android with Google maps
From a galaxy, far, far away.

A friend of mine was visiting today, his wife had the new iPhone, they needed to leave to the train station to pick up a fried, I Google voice searched it and mapped it on my Android...good to go. I Siri searched the exact same thing and it routed them to a completely different Amtrak train station 20 miles away, awesome. It gave three Amtrak stations, none were the correct station.

This is SOME NONSENSE!

Can someone please explain this to me on how a CRICKET phone got a working ICS update and we don't. Come on now Huawei. This is a damn shame. The Galaxy Nexus is not released here in the states and some rinky dink phone got ICS. WTF! And now I see why Apple is kicking ass.

Take it easy...
Oh for christ sakes, you really felt the need to create a new thread for this? Your a god damn troll, you know that? There are developers actively working on CM7 which will eventually lead to CM9 and ICS on this phone. If you are impatient, get another phone. Read the forum rules and do some searching and quit your god damn whining.
You little 10 year olds and your demands for everything are getting on my last effin' nerve on this board. GTFO!
For one it's a demo build so it's not complete. Sure they have one but in all honesty what did they have to leave out or what's not working without having major issues. As it says it's a DEMO which we have phones already in the xda community that have this also already. Not a big deal.
Dude chill even when we do get ics a ton of apps are not even updated for it yet. I rather have all my apps working and no Los.

You must be pretty upset If your going to start a thread on such silly topic.
Lots of more important things going on in the world let your fart in the wind ICS anger go.
Come on - really? Do we really feel the need to rant and complain? I know you love your device - but why do you have to do this?

Crigslist app is gone from the market

I couldn't Find it to download it but I had it on my xoom still here's a link to the apk. It works on my epic 4g rooted. I was shocked and horrified that it was taken down.

The one I posted allows you to save the searches and lets you know when something new has been published. it isn't the one by darkierawr linked which isnt as good.
I have had this app for a almost 2 years now.. this is the best craigslist app hands down.. I wish it was still on the market.
I set this app up, so that everytime a new job in the I.T field was posted in my area, it sent me a notification..
I have my resume and cover letter on my phone.. so I would email it to them within 5 minutes of them posting it.
That is exactly what I do with mine phone and Craigslist app. My last 4 jobs I got because of this app.
I was always one of the first 4 or 5 people to apply
The winning factor in getting a job now a days.
Keep resume as PDF, quick email.. Winning
Can apply for a job while at the Ball Game with ease (done it)
I don;t get it, I have Craigslist mobile on my Epic and I still see all of them on the market.

Humor - Show off your iPhone home screen

Was looking at a thread on the Verge asking for users to submit screenshots of their Android home screens. So I thought about what iPhone users must do in comparison hoping to find some funny meme about it. Didn't see anything intentionally funny, but found a blog that made me laugh nevertheless.
http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/lifestyle-roundups/45-iphone-home-screens/
I mean, seriously... these people actually think they have some unique home screen set up lol. Too funny :laugh:
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
The iphone homescreen isn't even as customizable as the Android app drawer.
This seriously made my night. Good find.
Mine count?

Gotta love how only your wallpaper can define your uniqueness. Reminds me of my BB days back in 05-07.
Nevermind I take that back, I used to theme BB devices for pinstack, still more than what you can do on an iPhone.

Hello, XDA Community!
I hope this thread doesn't break any of the rules from the "n00b" video, but I just had to say thanks to all of you. I'm 31 years old and I FINALLY got my first cellphone yesterday. It was the typical debate, iPhone vs Android, both have pros and cons, but I ended up going with my heart and picked the Galaxy Nexus. I also convinced my fiance to get the same one (she wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy S Glide because of the keyboard). Anything would have been a step-up for her (she had the BB Bold 9700). FYI for anyone wanting to know... DO NOT update the BB Bold 9700 to OS6, it just can't handle it properly! Stick to OS5!
Anyway, the reason I'm saying thanks is because I pretty much learned everything I needed to know about Android from XDA. I could unlock, root, install CWM, and flash stock Google images in my sleep, GNEX Toolkit or Command Prompt! The only thing missing was the actual phone...
As soon as I got home with it, that's exactly what I did. I unlocked both our phones, got rid of Yakjuux in favour of Takju 4.0.4 (I know, I know... Google Wallet doesn't work in Canada yet, but whatever...), installed Adobe Flash, and updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OTA. To top it all off, I rooted it this morning and I have a nice Superuser icon on my main homescreen. I'm loving it!
Once again, thank you all! I hope I can contribute to the XDA Community and help others the way you have all helped me. I've already installed the Android SDK and all the Eclipse plugins needed to code for Android. I will try to get back into Java programming, for Android this time. Needless to say, if I ever create a killer app, I will post it here first!
Oh yeah, and if anyone is wondering, I got my GNEX from Rogers here in Canada (6 GB Super Plan). A few weeks ago, they jacked up the price from $75 back up to $150; then about a week ago, they pulled it from their website. It seems as though it is being discontinued, but you should still go to your carrier of choice because they might still have some lying around. They were selling them for $30 but ended up giving it to me for free as long as I paid $27 for some lame screen protectors (which I am not using).
Take care!

This was my first phone where I'm actually okay with how it runs and haven't rooted it! After 3 other android phones, I think I'm settling down with this.
I hope you keep yours for a while and do the community proud!
Welcome! :laugh:

Quick reviews from people who've had the phone for a few months now

I'm most likely going to be getting this phone sometime in the near future and wanted to ask if anyone noticed any niggles or other nonsense that sometimes happens with Samsung Android phones (i.e. roaming notification not caring about no longer displaying the message, GPS issues, etc.)
Just quick reviews, mostly I'm looking for the little things that bug people.
Thanks
Bloatware on Stock ROM. That the Cons.of this phone. Custom ROM and you will sell your TV and your computer. Never posted using the computer after GS3.

+1, had a number of smartphones in the past, this one clearly blows all of my expectations away. The only issue I've had is sporadically losing connectivity to my wifi and I'm not sure if it's something I've loaded or a bug from Samsung/Sprint. My kids have the Evo LTE and Iphone 4S and I wouldn't trade for the world.
The best phone yet IMO, yes the only con I have found is data connectivity every once and awhile. LG8 radio seems better than any other. Been running jellybomb rom, superfast. Fastest phone I've owned so far, and I've had um back to the HTC Hero.

Best phone I've ever owned with regard to... everything. There's a reason it's the hottest-selling phone right now.

Try moving your router as far away from other electronics. As for the phone...I'm really loving it. With an extended battery( Hyperion 4200mah) in it, I'm getting almost two days off charger with 47% still left as I type this.

Its the best choice, my only gripe is maybe that I wanted quad core to dual boot Ubuntu and do my best to ditch all use of laptop or desktop. ...but ..then again despite all the quads having nicer gpus even the a15 based s4krait kinda disappointed next generation I suppose
This is kinda a crappy year for the fact they are transitioning production processes I'm really hoping the next exynos generation skips a15 all together
But yeah long story short ...it beats everything we have in the US market
