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

We all love it. Otherwise we wouldn't still own/customize 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

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

This is by far the best phone I have ever owned....
I recently had a DROID bionic, DROID razr, and droid razr maxx and this is leaps and bounds better.

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.

I like both, my god its just phones... an enemy in my definition is someone who has crossed me.. you do know there would be no android without apple right? The guy who created android worked at apple & stole key features. That' why jobs said he will fight android until he dies. Let me put it like this: what if your close friend kidnaps your sister & you know about it & see her with tape on her mouth & arms lol if not a sister then your mother.

Me neither! I used to live on my laptop when I had my (crappy) Wildfire S, but now with the S3, it does everything I need. Much easier to carry around.

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!

Going to get a Note 2

Coming from a GS3. Held the phone in my hand last night and fell in love. Everybody at work has iPhones and already mock me for my large screen...wait till the haterz see this. Just wanted to say hello...see if you guys have any pointers for this beautiful phone. I'm definitely rooting it and cant wait to use the multi window function. I love my gs3 but since grabbing my N7 the gs3 just seems too small. I'm probably going to run AOKP. I have to check the ROM section to see what the revs have cooked up.

Jedi Master ROM's ftw! In the words of ****-knocker "Don't fuk with the Jedi Master, son'!

You guys would know better. T-Mobile dude said they were going to have a sale in about two weeks. Note 2 would be free with a new contract and probably $200 off without a contract. I am under contract still so would I actually save $200? He was a nice dude but I'm not sure he is the most knowledgeable salesperson. I asked a few questions and he didn't seem to know much. Please let me know what you guys think because I want this phone...BADLY!!

Lol,..I finally got it. Wound up being the mission from hell. Went to mall last night, first the guy tried to charge me $799. That turned into a "discussion". Then he didn't even have the damn phone. I called several places from the store locator but all of the authorized dealers were closed. Complete fail. There was one about 20 mins away but I kind of snuck out of my house in the middle of chores so that was not possible. Had to wait until today.
Local store doesn't open until 10. I had to be at work. Went to a different store on my lunch break. Fail. Waited 45 minutes but received no help because there was one person. Had to leave work early at 730 tonight to grab it before they closed. Only to have to go back to work to finish. But...finally I have it!!! Ordered a Seidio active case and holster. Should have that by Wednesday. Going to root this tonight once I get it charged. I will be a Jedi soon!!

Good luck, you going to basically follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34900851&postcount=33
Are there any warranty concerns if one can reset binary?
BTW, got Seidio Surface case Friday, I just ordered the Seidio Active Case (sans holster as I personally never really used it when I got it for my EVO but do use http://www.amazon.com/StickStand-wedgi-Smartphone-Kickstand-Navigation/dp/B004EVFO1G - also may get surface case in white when available as my EVO liked it ) , kickstands FTW !

Rooted and flashed Jedi Rom with multiview. I am quite sure that once you reset flash counter and fully restore back to stock you have nothing to worry about. Seidio makes great cases, have one for my N7 and love it. Had to get the matching on for my N2. So far amazing phone. Way past my bedtime playing around. Tomorrow will be a miserable day for sure. Oh well...

How long did it all take you so I have an idea how much time I have to set aside?
Are you going to install Perseus kernel for exfat?
-Thnx, also curious how much you will be using your N7 now that you have this..

It was fairly quick. I used the toolkit to root, im lazy. The flash process went very quick. In between still playing with the phone and reading it took me about 2 hours. If you dont waste time you could root the phone in literally 5 minutes with the tool kit, flashing the jedi ROM maybe 20 minutes. Thats with creating a nandroid of stock. If you are restoring from google, apps from your previous phine could be a but longer too. I havent touch the N7 much since getting this but I will definitely use it still. I love both this and the N7. Once im over the excitement of playing with this N7 will get most of my attention again I am sure.

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720 or Android root toolkit ? Is there a chance of irreversible damage with that toolkit or when following the link instructions below?
Is that easier-better than http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/ & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423 ? How many times have you rooted ?
What about link instructions for installing Perseus kernel or do you not care about exfat?
-Thnx-the extra 1.45" on the Nexus7 offer that much of a different experience from Note2 because I'm still looking for a 10"-12" tablet with expandable storage & docks into a solid keyboard with extra battery & ports..maybe an updated faster Transformer I could install Win8 on or even considering the Samsung ATIV Smart PC 700

The toolkit basically walks you through that process, they are the same method. Ive never had a problem using any of mskip's toolkitz. They are great and work very well.
As far as tabs, all personal preference. I was going to get the N10 but opted to get this phone instead. I love the N10 but I had a 10" tab before and I find them just a bit too big. For me the N7 is perfect and I find it significantly larger than the N2. I still want the N10 but of all three I think it would be the one I use the least. 7" tabs for me are ideal. Great for everything very versatile.

Yea, I noticed that too. I got it for my Nexus 7. My phone is not compatible for some reason... but look at this... *goes take screen shot*
I don't know what ROM my phone was on, but it was once compatible. It was probably some AOSP ROM.
Right now I'm running GamerMod (TouchWiz ICS) and that's giving me a "Not Compatible".
Also, that Tmo phone was my HTC G2. That was also stock Android. So maybe it has something to do with Stock... No!! That's just stupid because it comes free on the Galaxy Note 2 for Tmo, or the GS3 for Tmo. One of them. Hmm...
EDIT: I went through the reviews to see if it once worked and the previous update used to work. Looks like we lost compatibility. I hope they fix this. I wanna play it on my phone so I can connect it to my TV since the Nexus 7 doesn't have any output methods. :crying:

This sucks cause device still can't dl.....
"Fear and Loathing"

Yeah, I bought Need for Speed too. I used to have a Galaxy Tab that it showed it was compatible with so it allowed me to purchase it via the website, but it wouldn't send it to my stock unrooted E4GT. I wonder if it can be sideloaded if one gets the apk.

Since this thread seems to be still going, I don't think I want Black Ops: Zombies. I heard that multi-player only worked if you were on the same WiFi. That's so stupid. Does someone have the game? Can they prove me wrong please? What's the point of playing a game like that by yourself? LoL!!

I just got my Pressy yesterday. I have the same phone as you. No special launcher or anything. I can't see to get it to work. I got one for my friend who has a Samsung Galaxy S4 and we got that one working. Let me know what you find!!

[Q] Earpiece not working, volume tweaking!

Well I noticed that my earpiece quit working on the N2 today and my volume goes down all on its own... any ideas? It was dropped bu only like 18". Its taken many falls in the past with no problems...
[EDIT]
SO, I am not so sure its a fall thing... It fell at about 2pm and I have made and received calls SINCE then just fine... It's degenerative. Examples: First, I could not hear out of the handset earpiece... but people could hear me. Now, a few hours later, they can also NOT hear me which indicates the phones mic is not working... IF I turn on Speaker Phone, it works fine and I can communicate just great with anyone/everyone... also works with my car hooked up to Bluetooth just fine... So, could the Tweaked ROM I am running be screwing with something? Should I just try to flash another ROM and see what happens? I have already tried the last modem and the newest modem, both which had no effect on the situation... Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I would try another ROM to see because I am having somewhat similar issues with no drops at all. I had this in TOUCHWIZ and it was bad. But when I switched to PAC-rom I have different volume issues. Certain (newer I believe) headphones play either double out the phones as well as my integrated speaker and once I had the volume phreak out going up and down inadvertently.
I just love my ROM sooo much that I am dealing with it for now. PAC-rom 4.3 JB nightly updates on Galaxy note 2.
