Got my Galaxy S3 today

[marine1]

Yeah I know how to disable it, I don't want to do that as I use Siri to dial when I'm driving. I just want the functions swapped.

Siri? I thought that was an Apple product?

Lol! Freudian slip, meant S Voice

You can always call it Siri if you want. Or any other name for that matter. If I ever have to get one, I'll bring up S-Voice by calling it Caroline or Hal. (you can change what phrase brings up S-Voice, in case you didn't know that already)

One thing that grates me on both the S2 and S3 is the inaccurate rendition of colour - it's all very blue!!!

I found Settings>Display>Screen Mode>Natural pretty much solved this for me.

Ahh see my jeans are always bulging
Size wise its way thinner than than an iphone but quite a bit bigger. I was just comparing a 4s to mine and the screen on an iphone looks like a toy compared to it.

I did the same with the One X today. Waiting for my buddy to get his s3 so I can compare the two side by side.
Another colleague of monger has the s3 and I played around with it before I got my phone. The screen actually looked amazing, I couldn't fault it. Well be interesting to compare side by side though.

What do you guys know about the exploding Samsung galaxy S3?

Are your S'3's running hotter than usual or is this a myth? http://www.gsmarena.com/be_aware_of_...-news-4426.php

My S3 us actually running a whole lot cooler than my S2. The S3 barely get warm when playing games unlike the S2.

After the second day of having the phone in my pocket I can say that despite its size, the weight and thickness make up for it.
I honestly thought I had left it somewhere until I put my hand in my pocket and realised it was still there.

3. where do I disable this damn bubble sound, I am getting seasick.

Me too

4. goodbye standard widgets and shortcuts. except you weather/clock widget, you can stay.

Just root. Did it after a day, and took me 30 seconds. Or at least change the stock launcher.

6. why no USB hard drive mode .

So that your phone still works while you're accessing the file system. You can enable mass storage if you want (apparently).
See here.

8. excellent samsung did not partition the storage like HTC does. sorry HTC, the dumbest thing you ever did was limit the application space to 160mb (50mb usable) for apps.

Yay! I don't think its a problem since the desire.

9. 1000mah charger. I better take this one to the office for fast charging there. My non Samsung chargers will only charge at 600mah. Will use that one for overnight.

My HTC Desire charger is 1A.

What you should try is light flow led (root). I now have a notification colour for each app (green for whatsapp, red for gmail, yellow for exchange, etc.)
