AnonD-79010, 29 Dec 2012Is that the best you can come up with? I know you have no other way to reply to what I said, b... moresigh.. i do not want to do this .. but here are the problems of your "great" s3

1. Lag when switching to "widget" screen
2. Side of the device get "scratch" easily, just try to hit it against anything
3. No backup features when upgrading.. (like S2 -> S3) you cannot move all apps and their respective data.
4. No game center or save state for your games
5. Over displaying of similar data on the home screen.. (etc. time on the top left hand corner .. plus ur widgets displaying the same time again!)

I can go on and on like media scanner infinite loop battery drain .. (if you got corrupted songs/pictures/videos.. it does not stop and will continue to go in scan -error loop)..

But no point.. as its up to buyer to decide what they want and what they can live with and if its worth it for them.

Every phone has its pro, cons and flaws.. don just dismiss phones like ip5 and bashing it all over especially when u do not use them for real! .. because the same can be said for s3 or note2. All are good phones.

    AnonD-79010, 29 Dec 2012Ummmm..... Actually, smart stay is working great with me. The screen on my not never goes dim ... moreYou cant see a single flaw in your phones? Did you create it or manufacture it? As scratches are a problem with iphone 5, it is common knowledge that smart stay is not working 100% when the light is not on the right angle...i used gs3, note 2 and iphone...personally, not by hearsay.....and for me samsung is too big, all funny things are for people like you to let you feel you are in control shifting around, customizing etc etc...Remember, you had NO input in the creating of it....if you want battery life, go to motorola droid razr....there are so many phones running on droid and that make them vulnerable as they are depennt on google that's developing the software....apple is unique! Make comments on samsung on the samsung forum...we don't need guys like you here....

        AnonD-92879, 30 Dec 2012My local weather still blank..how's it update..? Help me any iOS experts....:-)I'm no expert, but, your gps should pick up your location and set local weather. Check connections, and then search location to establish if your position/town is on the list. On weather you pres the "i" and the + to add...If not, you can download for free accuweather and set your location. I'm using both. Accuweather is also the default widget on gs3 phone on the homescreen.

                AnonD-79010, 29 Dec 2012"Weather widget on homescreen? You have to manually update it!" Ummm... no you do... moreSmall detail also....gs3's icon on calendar? Its's just and icon! Iphone's icon is the day and date! Updated! Small, but it's the small detail that makes the difference....Strange the only thing you droid fans can do is be on iphone's page and try to degrade it. You will not find that on your samsung pages....o yes, I forget, the difference is there are so many pages/products....iphone just one page. HATERS ARE SECRET ADMIRERS! That you?

You listen to music that time! Then the battery will last longer than you can imagine to be on the bike! Otherwise you are very fit! Maybe you stay over for a week?? Close to a Lance Armstrong on a mountain bike!! Are you on steroids? You guys trying to degrade iphone are out of this world.

YOU never touched an iphone and now you're telling people your "expierences" on it...I used Gs3, and gave it away...it's crap...and too big....jelly hean os!!! My iphone is still working.......

                        I don't know about any trees that I can plug my phone up to for a recharge while I'm out doing those things, but if you know of any, would you please let me know about it, I'd really like to see that?

                          And while were at it, my friend just noticed that the touch screen seem to be a bit unresponsive. I think that's a flaw. Or how about slow wi-fi and failure to connect? I guess those are just features and flaws?

To see what apps is minimize - double press home button, if you want to close them - after double press, touch and hold one of the apps that appear and the icon star shake with a minus sign on the left side up. press that minus sign and the app is close. That way you will save the battery life too. Respect!
