Samsung seems to be on a roll with their flagship Galaxy devices. Earlier today they announced that the Note II passed over the 3 million in sales. Now, according to a post on Facebook, plus a picture of proof, the Samsung Galaxy S III has surpassed 30 million in sales.

I don't know about that. I like my case (goo.gl/83Lkz), and wireless charging is getting close. =)

Its not just the accessories.. what about All Share Cast ... (without the stupid dongle)

I'm happy to see a device aside from the iPhone have a significant effect on the smartphone market. I made the switch from iPhone to GS3 and could not be happier.

TBH, I love how I'm seeing more and more Android (looking at things, S3 seems to be much more dominant) in the public... I feel like we're having an actual individualization rising from the ashes... I mean, way back, the dumbphones had so much selections and features aren't all that important people choose to get the phone that expresses themselves...
Then the iPhone came... and all of that was lost, until they started making cases of different designs... Then, if you think about it... people want the same features, but all along people also want to express their individuality... And the rise of androids are bringing back the actual individuality we had back when we had dumbphones... We don't need cases to show off who we are, let our phones do the talking! haha

And still no jelly bean

Now they can use the revenue to develop the next galaxy device that will surpass that 30 million sales mark!
Hope they get rid of the physical/capacitive buttons and adopt the on screen buttons or develop something new.

I am actually quite a fan of how the S3 buttons are laid out. They are very intuitive in my opinion. Though it will undoubtedly be interesting to see where they go with it.

I like the fact we have capacitive buttons on our phones. Is it just me?

Maybe I'm the odd one out that doesn't like the physical/capacitive buttons.
The S3 is my first touchscreen smartphone and I found that without a case I would accidentally hit the back key with my palm.
The fact that on screen buttons are raised from the button of the phone and on the screen, it would prevent that situation from happening.
In addition you are able to customize the buttons to your preference and would have a sleeker appearance than having the big physical home button.
Had the nexus 4 been built differently, I would be all over that.

With so many s3 owners, Samsung really doesn't have an excuse to leave us in the dark with regards to updates.

I agree on the update part. As for the buttons, i like the physical home button. The only thing i don't like about the phone is the slightly concave screen. Makes screen protector fitting very annoying.
I also agree on the individuality aspect. I think that's a major contributor in Android's surge in popularity over "other os's". And we have a standardized charging plug.

Haha heck yeah! :cyclops:

Maybe this is because I'm coming from the S2 family, but the physical home button is a no no for me.
Customization wise: the S3 does have a fair share of festive cases. Maybe not as many as iPhone, but I guarantee you'll find something. If you're not a case person we have something that not many other phones on the market can get - custom back covers. Besides in durability, we've got the iPhone pretty much beat!
Stock ICS on my S3

30 million is a lie! Samsung isn't cool enough to sell as many phones as Apple!

nope your not the only one.
the only thing i don't like is the home button. why oh why is that an actually physical push button when the menu and back buttons are capacitive ?!?

I have seen quite a few people now with the sgs3. Owning one and being able to talk to another sgs3 owner is a great conversation starter with people.

Things you don't like about the Galaxy Note II T889

Here is what I don't like:
1. When you wake up the phone from sleep there is a noticeable delay.
2. After you hang up the phone, there is a delay of about 3-4 seconds before you are brought back to the dialer.. Until then you're just shown the "Call ended.." message. Thats quite annoying because you have to wait another 3-4 seconds before re-dialing.
3. MTP.. I have never gotten it to work on this phone. After downloading the official Galaxy Note II drivers from samsungs website all I ever get is "Hardware missing" or something like that. I really miss the plain old USB Mass Storage.
4. When you bring the phone to your ear the screen turns black, (thats good), but after you take it back down to see the screen, there's a gap of about 2 seconds before it turns back on. very annoying.
So these are the 4 things I have noticed that I don't like.

Kinda SLIPPERY

I think if you press the back button or home button to go back to whichever screen you need, it works based on my experience.
Like if i just ended a call, pressing the home button takes me home right away without any delay.

What if you wanted to redial? Try it. You can't get back to the dialer without waiting 3 seconds.

You are complaining about common problems on different phones.

I hate how you have to press home to go back to the home screen after an end call. I want it to go direct to the home screen after a call ends. I had to install an app for that: "On Call End". Works great.

I don't think he is complaining, more just expressing his thoughts.
If they are common problems on different phones then that means exactly that, different phones. Not all phones. I'm not trying to be rude but I think all the OP was trying to say is that the four things he listed kinda bothers him, nothing more, nothing less.

The biggest complain I have with the Note 2 is the stylus not able to control the menu and back buttons.

I agree with you, that is the most annoying thing about this phone by far. It's one of the biggest reasons I don't use the stylus me consistently. Great point.

While I do agree that these problems may be minor: With all due respect, this is a website about mobile devices and development, and this thread is specifically for the issues regarding the user experience of the T-mobile Note 2.
There is nothing to say that the OP did not start a blog for starving families in third world countries on an appropriate website, or that he lacks common sense and or compassion towards major economic problems. . . as is implied by your remark.
Furthermore, problems must be addressed, not ignored. Many minor problems compounded can become a major one, eroding away the cumulative ease of use and overall responsiveness of the user experience.
Many people like myself regard our phones as valuable business tools rather than toys. It is important to have a high performance tool to efficaciously compete in today's "hi-tech" market.

I didn't like that it sometimes didn't want to charge as A/C...even though it was plugged in the wall it thought it was charging through USB which took for ever. Changed the USB cable and it seems to be working good now. So I had 1 thing I didn't like...not anymore! There's nothing I don't like about this phone! Ha!

Excuse me? Yes, we live in America and can afford nice things. That said, if we are spending $300, or as much as $700 or $800 off contract, we expect these products to continue to improve over time. The intent of this thread was clearly a constructive one. Developers can't know what we want improved if we do not voice our opinions. Get off your moral high horse.

I think the white is too warm or dirty in my taste.
Other than that, I have no complaint.

[Q] New nexus 7 and an always on mic

I am just curious if any one think there is any chance it will have the feature that the moto x does with the always on mic.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

I dont think this feature would be nearly as useful as on a mobile phone.

I think the mic is always on because of Google Now and the ability to do voice commands at will.
Honestly I can see the benefits but if you are too lazy to pretty a button then its pretty sad. I'd rather see a dedicated voice button then always on mic. Not only for security but also because if it is always on, then it is always processing. Seems like a waste of resources 99% of the time.
Just grab a Bluetooth headset and press the button on the unit, and it will ask for a command. At least mine does.
Plus what's next? Always on video? A Google employee moving into my house? Cats and dogs, living together?

That has to be the stupidest thing i have heard someone say.
Does your TV have a remote. What are you lazy to walk to your TV?
Its an evolution of technology. Why should i have to touch it when i could NOT touch it.
I am not huge on voice controls because if i am already touching my device i would rather just do it with my finger.
If i don't have to even look at my phone to send a message or skip a song then why would I.

ROFL
Even Star Trek's communicators on their shirts have to be pressed. And Star Trek knows the future better then we do. Nuff said.
Btw I'm only half serious.
Something like Google Glass, I understand IF it was paired to YOUR VOICE. But a phone...? It doesn't need to be listening every second just to grab 1 or 2 commands. Have you ever tried using Google Now in a noisy environment. I can only see my phone grabbing all sorts of random commands and doing random acts. Pass on that.
Even Google Glass reviews show it picking up commands from others and screwing things up.

Looks like all the new droids released today got the feature so. Obviously I am not the only one that thinks it's a required step for voice commands. Also in star trek while the touched their communicators didn't they just talk to the computers?

I was under the impression the always on mic was powered by different hardware specs ie: the super low voltage battery when sleeping and a low power mic. Seems like this will be hard to implement for many devices without these hardware features.

I think always on mic is a moto thing, dealing with their custom made snapdragon aka "motorola x8 computing system", has a whole core dedicated to it, and another dedicated to gestures. I think current devices could do it fine, but battery life would suffer without motorolas software and hardware tweaks.
Of course I don't really know, that's just my guess. Guess we'll all find out next week

I have my new Nexus 7 in hand. I am pretty sure that is a moto only feature but i bet we see all the big players picking it up in the future.

The always on MIC is monitored by a dedicated low power core on the Moto X. N7 doesn't have that chip.

[Q] End of page scrolling - blue streak

I just bought a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. This is my first experience with a tablet. While using the s-note app if i scroll to the end of page and continue to scroll I see a blue line at the edge. It appears like blue color bleeding on the screen from that edge. The same happens if hover s-pen close to any of the edges of the screen. I am wondering if this is normal or there is something wrong with my tablet. I have noticed this on a few other application as well but not for all the application. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

I know I've seen this ever since my htc evo Days. I want to say it is a byproduct of the apple bounce back patient, kinda like the keyboard auto correct patient by Apple. I could be wrong, if I am someone please correct me.

Slow Typing

Hey there!
Is anyone having issues when typing? The lag on my phone is insane whenever I type no matter what application I use. Just upgraded to the new software too, same issue.

Are you using the Samsung keyboard? And predictive typing is slow to catch up?

Yeah, I'm using the Samsung keyboard. Part of it is that predictive typing is slow to catch up, but I don't depend on that anyways. The larger issue is that there's a lag of around half a second or more when I type a letter and when it pops up on the screen.

Yes! With official and Google keyboard... It's unbearable. I've installed Chrooma and it's much better.

That's so weird. One would expect the stock keyboard to be snappy.

Yeah I don't know what it is. Every Samsung I've owned has had issues with input lag.
The phone registers your input instantly, but there's a huge delay between when you press and when it shows on screen. Deleting characters/words is just as bad, correct?

Hmm, mine is same as my Note5. Also, Google Keyboard feels lightning fast, especially with haptic feedback off (but that's all keyboards).

I hardly use stock keyboard anyway. I use either Swiftkey or Google Keyboard. Depending on my mood.
Hopefully Samsung patch this up with Nougat.

I'm on a Verizon Note 7 and have this issue no matter what keyboard I use. SwiftKey is slightly better but not by much. Hoping they can patch it.

Same for me. SwiftKey in every phone for years and sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not. Sound more like queuing priority in the CPU. It can be fixed IMHO.

Does anyone have problems where multiple key presses happen and you get excessive letters when typing. I posted this on another forum with the errors left to show.
"Ssso the definite symptoms off my problem is the excessive letterrr input when typing. Iv even left the errors in this paragraph for a example.
Nextt obvious one is scrolling issues in menus or webpages.
So if anyone is experiencing these two most common symptoms let me know. No doubt mine is likely defective and will be getting a replacement.
It could still be software problem yett and because off how new the phone is, it may not bbe quite public yet."
Clearly you can see how ffustratingg thiss can be. Kinda taaaakingg the sting out of the fun off having a new toy.
