the battery life on the S3 is ok, not really great but not cheap. but the interface and scrolling thru running apps is very very smooth, phone just glides. im impressed with it as i get to know the phone an ICS its all very simple an easy. im glad i got the white one, my brother got the blue one which looks black but it sure attracts fingerprints. what are some must have apps? i got that swift keyboard 3 an thats such a great app.

Ur welcome fakkit

n/m thought you might be with AT&T, their galaxy s II ics update just became available again today. Sprint is slacking on that update.

So after several days with the One X
I had to bring it back and get my money back
That phone was horrendous
Not the ICS (but that 'sense' ish was annoying)
But my major complaint was the phone was the AT&T service and the phone's incapability to re-grab a signal after exiting out of wifi, or going from a no service zone, to a service zone.....or just drop signal and NEVER recapture it.

So yeah, copped a $200 Galaxy Nexus and going back to Verizon, I don't know why I thought it would be better anywhere else

You just can't f*ck with Big Red's signal strength


Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, none of these carriers have service on the beach............But Verizon does......

Considering I go to the beach every day after work and every weekend, I need that signal strength

The only thing the OneX has on the Nexus is the camera and the screen is brighter. Everything else is wack. My girl got the One S, we sent that joint back to the store. HTC Sense really ruins the phone IMO...and then the issue with the signal dropping all the time.

Stock ICS

bro you can't flash ICS roms with an ICS recovery... if you want to flash ICS roms, revert back to the EL29 recovery and then flash the ICS rom of your choice... personally, I'd say go with Rujelus' rom, definitely the best I've seen so far for this phone

 

[WestS1de]

Finally got that ICS for my S2. Gonna cop that S3 for my girl for her bday
