[Q] So do you guys like your GS3? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So do you guys like your gs3? Would you have gotten a different phone, given the chance?
Just curious if this is the one to get. Im coming from the Tmobile G2X.

Well? Do you?

Lol. I love my phone. Maybe would have gotten the note 2 only for the lte.

I like it a lot. It's the best phone I've owned. However, the Note II is looking mighty tempting since it supports LTE.

No buyers remorse here. Best phone I've ever owned by a mile... and is the perfect size. I will have it for a while

What is lte?

It's a good phone. I'm going to root it soon because in it's present state I feel that performance could be better and the gross amount of bloatware is incredibly annoying. I have used the speed test app and I'm T-Mo and managed to get a max of 27.80Mbps. Not to shabby. I did realize later that the size of the phone is quite big for my hands but the screen real estate makes up for it. I don't think I would have gotten anything else. Battery is great as well.

Yes. Absolutely i love my S3.

Im assuming you're kidding? Otherwise you would not be floating around the gs3 forum still?
If you are serious, what do you mean "didnt know whether you were coming or going"? What does that even mean lol?
and by mentioning the "htc one", im assuming you mean the "one S". So that being said, no removable storage card and no removable battery, doesnt that speak for itself? Good luck with that one, or did you overlook those two missing features?
If you are serious, can you explain why u chose the htc one s over the gs3?
To the other person, the note 2 looks nice but from what i was reading, it seems a little big.
And also, people keep mentioning the nexus. Is it better than the gs3 better?

I like it, overall pretty good. WiFi performance and Wi-Fi calling are very bad. If you are planning on using WiFi calling DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

The s3 is light years ahead of the lg, that's a 2 year old phone that wasn't even that great to begin with. IMO the only other phone out right now to compare with the s3 is samsung's own Note2, but that's a giant phone and definitely not for everybody. If you wait a little longer LG's new superphone is around the corner but who know's when exactly it'll be released.

Hey Kid. I remember you from the G2x days. Night and day different experience. Everything just works. Screen quality, speed, size, features, everything is better. This is what the android experince should be.You will love gaming on the GS3.

I love it so much. I do have an issue with the battery running out quickly but I think I have a faulty battery. Not sure. Other than that it's the best phone I've had. I don't think there's anything better out there.
The only other phone i would consider is the new Nexus coming out simply for the updates. It still hasn't been announced tho but I'm sure it'll be a fantastic device on par with the S III

If you could get a rezound you wouldn't rather get the nexus? Rezound is using our same Qualcomm S3 MSM8600 chip.
As a phone, the S2 is absolutely fantastic. Does everything I want it to do. As a carrier, I'm still on the fence with t-mobile. Data speeds are plenty fast, but data reception seems to be a mixed bag.
well... when it comes to Reception, that is really the nature of the AWS technology which requires 2 wide bands 1700+2100 for up and down to work
so building penetration is always a compromise

Now that I am on the Galaxy S2, I can tell you that it is by far the best phone that I have ever owned. Even stock, it is absolutely blazing fast. After I put beastmod on it, the thing just flies, and this is before OCing. Keep in mind that ICS is supposed to be able to utilize dual-core technology to it's fullest so when the update comes up (it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when), our phones will be in for a nice tune-up. As for as internet speeds go, I can tell you that it is BLAZING fast. It is faster and more reliable than when I had my G2 (which was just last year).
I can't post pictures but I can tell you that the fastest I have ever gotten with my S2 (in the same service area that I tested my G2 just last year) is 31MBPS. For daily usage, I consistently get 7-14MBPS. I am downloading HD videos off of Youtube in a matter of 5-10 seconds. I am downloading and finishing music downloads as soon as it pops up in my notifications bar. The phone is fast in every way, and everything flows so well together. No lag, no hassle, it just works.
got my phone a few days back from my awesome girlfriend, amazingly fast, battery only lasts a day, from 9 till 6, as i always use data connection, 1850mhz, not much of juice for this 1.5 dual core monster, resolution is a draw back with this nice screen 4.52" i am talking about, only 480*800? meh, waiting for miui roms........ only alpha versions atm, touchwiz looks gay.
speaker is way better than i9000, louder at least! some people say they want metal back cover, i say hey, it is light!!! with this kinda size!
i would give 9 out of 10 for this phone, i wanna buy the sprint version, lol, cdma 2000. not available in china yet, too bad.
What app do I use to test for lines and blobs?

Am I the only one who loves this thing?!

So I recently had a friend tell me his s3 hasnt been doing very well for him speed and service wise(he has sprint) and I did some digging around on google and some forums to try to help him out.. and the more I researched the more I saw posts about all the issues with the s3... problems with it charging to horrible battery and reception to other things I can't remember now.. and Im here thinking to my self.. man I LOVE THIS DEVICE. On full stock rooted I really have no issues.. my battery lasts reception is ok for me in Miami.. not the best but certainly not bad. I really dont have any problems that would make me want to return the phone. Im curious to know how other users feel about this beast and what some of your experiences are... tips and general experiences are welcome..
Lets hear it

Amazing device I'm runnning stock no problem but rooted with a custom kernel ! It's DOPE! Your friend obviously hasn't had a single-core phone or a blackberry! (jokes) loool!
Is that a serious question
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think i agree with your friend. The Sprint's S3 does suck. My uncle has a Sprint S3 and it is a bit laggy compared to mine...so maybe its not the phone itself, but the network carrier. So radio/baseband has to be culprit for everything thats weighing the phone down.
I also had the s2 international version that worked flawless (and I flashed the hell out of that thing) but my sprint buddies all had complaints..
I forgot to mention in OP that some of the bad reviews I read also included our tmobile model.. but I am incredibly happy with mine.

I had virgin mobile(Sprint owned prepaid) and service was good in terms of making a call, but data speeds were inconsistent at best. I also had numerous problems with text not going through. I would expect sprint to have at least some of these problems

I too love my T-MO GS3, by far the best Android phone I have ever owned. I live in Miami and I get regular speeds of 15mps to 18mps. I have rooted, flashed, themed(international forums) and this phone has given me no problems what so ever.
And remember, most people who have no problens with the phone aren't going to post about it online. Its much easier to find out what went wrong for people because they always come online loking for help!
That silent majority is, I imagine, quite massive considering the millions of these phones that have been sold! That's a lot of happy people going about their lives without ever needing to seach for help!

I really have no issue with the S3 on t-mobile. This is the first Android phone I have with great battery, fast, lot of available memory for the apps to fly,... Great reception and I think I pick up 4G at some places that would be on Edge or 3G when using the S2 or Sensation.
I like it but I don't love it! I'm considering the galaxy note 2 or the next iPhone.

So you change ROMS during the week/weekend? I never thought of doing that - I guess Titanium helps? Sorry. I'm still a slight N00b. I just rooted but am keeping it stock for now. I just Dl'd Titanium but am confused on how to use it. Guess that's for another thread lol.
Is there a way to make sure titanium doesn't restore bad backup data? (I don't use it for this reason. Wanna make sure my ROM stays clean)
The battery lasts all day for the most part. Its so snappy. Love it too!

Yeah, the question wasn't if it's cooler, it was if it's worth it.
I mean, don't be blind, you add so and so money and you get less than so and so value. That was my intention. To tell the truth.
It is cooler, but it's more breakable, my phone has similar features, bla bla bla.
Don't get all "Appley" on me but with Samsung, it's also wrong to be blinded by one company... Even if it's not Apple...

Absolutely I think its worth it! I was skeptical because I loved my old htc, but I am so glad I moved up to the GS3.
If it were me looking for a new device, I would check out the Note 2 before making a decision. I think itll be out soon.

YES! Im coming from an S2 that was running Jedi Mind tricks rom, and i loved it, but my S3 was pretty much perfect out the box. havent had a problem yet which is why im not in any rush to root and throw a rom on it yet.
Can't go wrong with this phone!
Apsolutely worth it. The S3 is the best smarty phone I've ever had! I just paid $177. to have my screen repaired after I dropped and cracked it. I love this device. Love it.
Did I mention how much I love it?
Well I came from the Gnex and I really like this phone. Touchwiz wasn't too bad but I needed that AOSP back. After flashing Paranoid Android I'm loving this phone a little more than my Gnex. It was with the switch to me. Don't get me wrong though, having the nexus was awesome!

+1. Got the S3 and slapped ParanoidAndroid on it with faux's Ultimate kernel. Hybrid mode on the size of this screen is wonderful. With the dual core S4, and PA with faux's kernel, I can't think of a better phone to have right now.

Why do you believe that to be the case when it's nearly identical to the Nexus 4 and the bootloader has already been unlocked?
Patience is a virtue my friend, and you do have choices. I see the progress being made with the boot loader and root, as well as an AIO tool already completed, man once these roms get rolling you'll regret not having one.
The choice is yours my friend.

I was thinking about getting the evo lte but I'm now leaning more to the optimus. Is it really that good?? I'm coming from using an evo 3d...
I really want to get it but I'm still not sure.. Thanks for the help..
As of right now my opinion is this. The phone is solid. The corners are kind of harsh. The hardware is fantastic. Surprisingly from what I have heard in the past on LG the ui is pretty good.
At the moment it has the best specs on Sprint period.
Now, when our comes to development, we will have to wait and see. It is the 4th highest selling Android oem on the 3rd largest provider. From that it is easy to say the S3 on At&t gets more attention. This will also never get the following of the Nexus. But, it does have development.
I would get it. You can also wait for the Flossy seal of approval if you like.

Just bought this beast an hour ago, already rooted and transferring my stuff from my Epic 4G. I compared the LG Mach because I didn't want to give up my physical keyboard ( :crying: ) but in the end the dual-core vs. quad-core was no comparison! Plus, $99 at Best Buy was a steal (Sprint store wouldn't price match).
Like going from a Yugo to a Ferrari!
Switched from AT&T and the Motorola Atrix 4G to Sprint and the LG Optimus G and so far, I haven't regretted switching from AT&T to Sprint and from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Can't wait for JellyBean on this phone. Decided to switch to Sprint since Sprint is the only carrier that now offers truly unlimited data.
Just nabbed the last one today @ BB for $99! Loving it so far. Was originally gonna get the Note 2 but the price won't drop. I couldn't resist this deal. Looking forward to the ROMS!
Got this phone yesterday, traded my s3 for it. Loving it so far, since I've hated the S3 as soon as I got it. Evo LTE was nice too had it for 2 months but the 1gb of RAM was killing me with Sense.
Haven't tinkered with it yet but thinking of just stock rooting just for getting rid of the Ads.

Thinking about picking up one

I have the galaxy note 2 right now and was thinking about getting the note 3 until I saw the side by side front panel comparisons. I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

I've also heard the exact opposite. Point is what we perceive as "lag" has changed.

All of them mention lag, stutters or sluggish UI.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.

Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...
I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use
