Pretty much yeah, but the bottons are white as well.

You are right sir, i missed that. I'm pretty sure once they come out, we will see the white covers for sale somewhere, and i'll buy one

The white ones look very nice.
Off topic, can someone link me to the galaxy wallpaper in this pic:

Sounds good to me boss!

Good lord I can't figure out if this company is a joke or if people actually purchase from them. I took a look at their prices and you have to shell out $100+ for each individual mod. In same cases the mod costs more than the phone itself ($250 for iPhone 4 mod...).

there was a blurb announcement somewhere that either a carrier in portugal or spain was releasing the SGS galaxy in white
kept meaning to find out who the carrier was and see if i could buy a white back cover but never got around to it - waiting to see if i keep the vibrant (if the gps issue gets resolved, i will)
FWIW

there is a fix for the gps out via xda.

haven't seen one that didn't demo the FFS syndrome (Fresh Flash Syndrome) - once installed for a few days to a week, it goes to **** again (except for allgamer's claims)
have you got a link to one i might have missed?

Samsung GalaxySII models for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint break cover

First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.
Merge if needed.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

When I was at Sprint the other day, they told me the Epic 2 with a keyboard, is coming out in December. I can't wait!

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.

Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.

When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...

Chassis Separation above charging port

Anyone ever heard of their chassis coming away from the glass above the port? Woke up this morning to find this.

My GTab does not have this problem and I plug it in to charge every evening. Have had the unit since late-July of last year.

Unfortunately, I can't say that I have heard of this happening before. My 10.1 isn't experiencing that, and neither are any of the 10.1's owned by friends and family. At the same time, our tablets are the earlier versions (purchased at launch) that are lacking the Samsung branding under the glass above the charging port. I have a question for you though, has your device been in to Samsung for service? If not, have you contacted Samsung about this? This is definitely something that is covered under the Manufacturer's warranty.

Just received the return shipping label. They asked what I'd want if it couldn't be fixed? I said a 32 instead of a 16 if it had to be replaced. LOL I doubt they show me that kind of love.

ha! Good luck with that....

I know its just a dream

So they said my screen is warped/ bent, on top of that they say the chassis is now cracked, when my pics clearly show that is not the case. I call bull****, what are my options?

keep complaining... that's the ONLY way with this bozos....you'll eventually get to a "manager" who will take you to another "manager", then they will either replace it or fix it.....i did that for 18 times with my hp laptop...what a piece of junk.

Just pissed never so much trouble with them. I have several TVs from them and a phone never no problems.

Are they saying since it's "cracked" it's not covered under warranty? Just wondering cause that's definitely bullsh!t.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one stinky finger.

I'm telling you...get high enough where they give you an email address...email them the photo...they have to fix it...if not...complain...go higher and higher till you get what you want.

So they sent it back despite the pics and everything, wanted me to pay 199.99? Totally dissatisfied with this. I own several nice pieces of Sammy equipment and never any issues....

Hmm, look at that, I kind of see a sliiiight little bump on mine too. I can press on it and see that it does deform a tad. Now you got me all paranoid. Its definitely no where near as bad as yours though.

I really hate to revive such an old thread but the bezel near my charging port has cracked exactly as described as well. Has this happened to anyone else and has anyone gotten a resolution. It seems this is definitely a manufacturers defect

Samsung Galaxy S III - All Updates

On 23 April, Samsung begun a countdown for the next galaxy with an anagram.

}
Yesterday, the countdown finally stopped and a teaser for the upcoming galaxy was posted.
SUMMARY OF VIDEO ACCORDING TO ME----
The video begins in the wilderness showing a distant city, all lit up in the night. The camera then zooms into outer space along with text that reads ‘Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand’. This is a subtle hint that the phone won’t be as massive as the Galaxy Note or possibly, the Galaxy Nexus. I have a feeling Samsung may just stick to the 4.3-inch screen but with a much higher resolution. This makes perfect sense and I hope they do that.
The camera then pans out across different galaxies along with another line, ‘Your view of the world grows even wider’. This could hint at the aspect ratio of the new phone. Any Other Guess! Anyone.
Then, it goes deeper into the universe and text appears, "AS YOU GAIN THE POWER TO EXPLORE IT FREELY & SWIFTLY', this time i'm cluelss.
Here comes the funniest part, the iSheeps, which shows a herd of sheep and the line, ‘…everyone else’.
The video ends with the Samsung logo and those very same blobs of metallic paint we saw in the invite. This definitely hints to the type of material used in the chassis of the S III or if not, at least the colours it will be available in. Sadly, at this moment, we don’t have any real clue about the phone itself and looking at how Samsung is hyping their next-gen Galaxy phone, I really doubt those leaked pictures are the real deal.
It appears as if Samsung is trying to throw us off the track here into thinking that the GT-I9300 is indeed the S III, which it isn’t (at least, that’s what we hope). Only a few days are left for Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which will take place on May 3, so see you then.

So we let us suprise. Wow !!

This may be our first real picture:

I still hope there will be more than one device revealed on May 3rd.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

I voted "don't know" it depends on a number of factors, it will have to beat the SGSII in every department for it to outsell it, price too will be a factor, many countries are in deep recession and many people cannot afford the luxury of shelling out big money on a smartphone so i hope Samsung don't vastly overcharge, €599 is far too much this is the figure that was given on the Amazon German website

Screen blemish/burn - Take a look!

Hi all,
Recently purchased an International S3 on a Vodafone UK contract.
I was surfing the internet last night and noticed a rather odd mark had appeared on the screen.
Think I might have to send it back as the mark will not disappear and is very noticable on a white background.
It also shows up on all the Red, Green and Blue screen tests in the service menu.
What do you think? The mark is on the bottom left edge!

Hi guys,
Sent this back to Samsung today. Got to be without the phone for a good 15 days sigh!
The company I got the phone with only offer 7 day return policy Great!!
Will be interesting to see if I get the same device back or if they replace it.
Paul

Its not as bad as it looks likes on the Pic.
The photo was taken with an iPhone 4 and the camera of the iPhone 4 has a lens which makes the center of the pic blueish.
Your screen looks a bit purple but every SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII has this.
I see no reason to return your phone.

But does anyone have an idea what that is? It doesn't look like screen burn...what could cause that?

Aerys, Are you not seeing the same mark as I am?
I have no issue with the overall colour of the screen. However, I do have a problem with the horrible piss stained mark that has appeared on the bottom left of the screen!!

Excellent!! Got my phone back today after 8 days without it.
Samsung have apparently repaired it, however I cannot check because they did not send my battery back with the phone!
Nice one Samsung, very proffesional!
To top it off they said a new battery will be sent and should be there on mon/tue next week.
Great! Another week without my phone.
Knew I should of got the iPhone...

I've had my phone a little over a month now and I've never experienced that. I also heard that the led fatigue issue wasn't so dangerous on the S3 as it was on the Galaxy Nexus and previous sAMOLED screen devices.

i had some similiar screen problems so i changed my s3 three times and all of them had the same problem with the screen so i got my money back and now i am wating on the Note 2

Woaa.. u should go to the store and claim warranty
