    Help So is my phone now unlocked?

    I finally came out of contract and got an unlock code from AT&T. Entered it last night using the keypad dialer combination code advised in the email. I didn't have a "competitors' SIM" to use last night Today, I borrowed a VERIZON Sim from a friend. Inserted it, and the phone works and...

    PLEASE tell me why I shouldn't switch from AT&T to Cricket?

    I was about to drop my current FamilyShare plan to save money on a MobileShare Value plan on AT&T. And now I just noticed that Cricket Wireless is owned by AT&T and it appears I can get a better plan for less money. So I am trying to figure out if there are any catches? AT&T: 2GB per month...

    Help Can't load songs via Airdroid

    Hi all - last night I was trying to copy about 40 mp3s from my PC to GS3. I logged in via Airdroid and when I did the "upload" function, I selected all the files and the first one loaded, but then Airdroid just stopped. I tried it again and same thing. I ended up shutting out of Airdroid...

    Help Downloads keep failing

    Since 1/1/13 it seems that every time I try to download something from the internet browser to my phone (like a PDF file, or an APK) it fails. The download appears to start (I see the little flashing icon in the upper left corner) and then after 5 or 6 seconds it stops and when you look at the...

    REALLY People? This is what some of you have been obsessing over for months?

    I updated my AT&T GS3 to JB tonight. Seemed to go fine, except Kies is freakin slow. So I am using my phone and it all seems to work fine, and I didn't have to factory reset or re-load all my apps or do anything annoying like that. But as I'm using this I can't help but laugh at some of the...

    My battery life just got even better somehow!

    Until last week, I would generally lose about 2-3% per hour while sitting idle, with the phone "optimized" (meaning Wifi is off, no major app syncing, just push email and sync, etc). Since last week, I have been amazed that the phone is now seeming to only lose 1.0 to 1.5% per hour...

    Battery starts at 98%

    I typically plug in my phone overnight. When I unplug in the morning it is coming from "100% fully charged" state, but as soon as I unplug, it nearly always jumps straight to 98% full....often within a few seconds. What's more.....if I review the battery use under GSAM Battery Monitor it...

    Can Apple do no wrong? (today's WSJ article)

    So I am reading the WSJ article this morning. To paraphrase, it says that all the other phone manufacturers are rushing to get out announcements ahead of next weeks' IP5 launch. Fair enough. Then is says that Apple's consistent (implied as fast) product updates....every year......make it...

    AT&T Update - did you get it yet?

    Just curious as to how many people have received a software update from AT&T. I got my phone very early July, and I thought there was a software update making its way around. Every time I do a "check for updates" on the Phone Info area in Settings, it says the Server is unavailable and the phone...

    My new Favorite App - Auto Wifi Toggle!

    So there has been a lot of discussion about battery life on these GS3 boards, and I've been participating in them. For the first month I was pretty lazy about turning off wifi during the day while I'm at work (where there's no wifi). Recently I started doing it and notice a marked improvement in...

    New Icon Pack in Touchwiz

    Is it possible or easy to change icons while still using Touchwiz? I understand that I could venture out to look at Apex or Nova launchers, but I don't have any real issues with Touchwiz...seems to be butter smooth on my GS3. Just wondering if I have the ability to load new icons or fonts...
