^That's a pretty good question, never occurred to me as I never connected to wifi except for home.

I'm liking Apex Launcher, but I like the weather and planner widgets from touchwiz too much lol.

Anyone know a local place that can unlock this phone for a decent price?

Has anyone had issues with the home button been pushed in? The reason I ask is the home button on my dads new phone isn't sticking out, instead it's pushed in so wonder if it's a defect because mine is fine.

Sounds defective, mine is raised slightly.

Anyone notice when there is a black screen..for example a black loading screen there are "dead" pixels which are darker than the rest? Only see them when the screen is completely black.

Noticed it too, thought it was just my phone... Loading a game in the dark and the screens black you see a few dark spots and circles.

CHIME IN!

I think I noticed that, but its like weird circle splotches on the glass rather than pixels. I thought it was a smudge.

Exactly, while playing a game there is a white "Loading" icon in the bottom corner while the rest of the screen is black. There is a circle towards the middle and random black lines. This circle and lines are darker than the background loading screen.

Good thing its not just mine :)

^Thats on ALL AMOLED screens. The splotches and grainy line issues are well known; its just one of those things you learn to live with unfortunately.

J.C 09-01-2012 01:52 PM

People who pirate apps especially when available for $0.10 = :facepalm: I'm sure you're real proud of torrenting 10 cent and one dollar apps. Pat yourself on your back.

I know it's not local, but I got mine done from cellunlock.net for $8 (bb50 discount code for 50% off).

Took 3 days but it came and it worked.

Someone here mentioned cellunlocker.net- you get it for free if you post a "how-to" on youtube (regular price is 15 I think).

If you're really looking for local, I assume it's going to be for the usual price of 20-30 dollars, which is what it advertises for online on most sites.

if you don't do that at a physical store then don't do it online please

tell me how you would feel and if your boss doesn't pay you for what you do or if you own your own business your customers don't pay you.

or better yet go into a store with a DVD burner and start burning DVDs on the spot. Technically you aren't stealing right? because you are just making copies of what already in the store.

End of rant. Nothing to see here carry on. :inout:

buhdeh 09-04-2012 08:30 AM

lol @ needing to pirate 99c apps. Why do you even have a phone, much less an s3 in the first place if 99c is too much for you?

3klipze 09-04-2012 09:19 AM

Edit..nvm, thought it was a jelly bean., but it easy. :okay:

Wonder what was the update mainly for ?

sonick 09-04-2012 10:21 AM

Anybody have the Intl version of the S3? Reports say some of them are getting OTA updates to JB! Samsung Galaxy S3 Android Jelly Bean OTA Update Option » Phone Reviews

How do you make swiftkey NOT insert a space after using the word prediction
