Has your S3 frozen several times?

My phone has frozen like 4-5 times since the first day I got it...

Nope.

nope...

Mine hasn't frozen, but sometimes have to turn wifi on and off a few times to connect to my router
Possibly found some info on the wifi androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/574442-samsung-galaxy-s3-wifi-problem.html

After 3 full days of use and having loaded and tested about 1.5GB of apps, I've not had a single hiccup.
So far I don't have a single complaint about the S3.

My phone is seamless. Every once in awhile though, XDA seems to be a bit choppy. But nothing else.

no issues here. had it sence monday been running like a champ. batery lasted 14hrs so far with emails updating every 15 min and surfing the net from time to time at work all on 4g . love this phone and wish it was unlocked

Has frozen once or twice, but I think it may have been on Power Save at the time. Have you used that feature at all?
Also, Apex launcher crashes quite a bit. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or what.

I've had multiple apps crash on me over and over. Stock phone.

Nope. And I use it quite heavily too.

Hmm..the only app that has lagged so far is XDA app, and seems few of you guys had that experience too. Wonder if this is a compatibility issue or coz all of us are in the XDA app all the time:laugh:

16days and not 1 problem.

Straight butter here, I don't even think I've had a FC yet, and I've had mine since launch. Battery lasts me ALL DAY no problem and performance all around has been flawless.
I am rooted on stock rom if anyone is wondering.

MANY apps freeze for me all the time, and it's stock, and use atk but still same issues.

Why in the hell would you use ATK? That app was barely useful in 2.1, let alone 4.0.4

Nothing. Android has an amazing memory management system. If you must close all apps, hold Home, click remove all. Then hold Home, click Task manage, go to ram, and hit clear memory. This is only necessary if an app is rogue and causing battery drain though.

[Q} Play Store Lag-Am I the only one?

On my nexus 7 the play store lags a ton only when our are looking for apps, it really sucks, and I also have some weird lag on this tablet which is pissing me off.

No lag here. I second the ****ty internet connection theory.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

i get lag maybe once in a blue moon. I have 7 mb internet which is pretty solid

What I've noticed on my N7 -- and what I think might actually be the issue, here -- is that the WiFi is somewhat fiddly. On my VZW-provided Actiontec junker, it's just fine. On my Asus (irony!) N-16 running TomatoWRT, on the other hand, it's less than happy; data connections hang, which shows up in the Play store as difficulty pulling up assets (images, pages, etc) -- which looks kind of like really nasty laggyness.
I haven't had the opportunity or the urge to diagnose yet, but the first thing I'm going to do is try changing the channel on the router, followed shortly by probably changing every other setting. Then I'll curse for a while because I'll have borked the router config without having made a backup. Because that's how these things work.

Send text to nexus 7

I've seen a lot of apps that will send your phone text to a tablet but it seems like none are compatible yet anyone know of any that are yet ?

Tablet talk works great.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it only works if the other person has What's App, too.

I use Google voice, only thing that you don't get are the picture msgs.

Try HeyWire Link ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZWRpYWZyaWVuZHMuY2hpbWUiXQ.. ) in google play it is free and it works. Takes a few min's to setup and a little thinking because of the way the help files are, well there english is not to good lets put it that way. But it works very well. Hope that helps

Yes, I also use the fantastic product: 'Tablet Talk'

I just use Google Voice which is linked to my Sprint account. Only downside is that you can't receive MMS.

+1 for tablet talk, it works great I just hope for more theme/customizing options in the future.

Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

Google Voice, however like someone mentioned they haven't incorporated MMS into it yet.
Will try Tablet Talk tho.

I've used Tablet Talk for a couple weeks now and it hasn't really worked for me. I'm thinking that it's probably because of my phone. Does anyone else have a Galaxy S II/N7 pairing that works?

Be a bit more specific For example..are you using a 3rd party SMS program such as GoSms or Handicent? If so..read the FAQ for tablet talk.
Whats the issue that you're having?

Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.

If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

Using phone after using N7

Is anyone else finding it weird using there phone after using the N7. I'm finding it hard to type on my Xperia Arc S? I wish there was some way to use my N7 like a phone while using WiFi, but with no Google Voice here in the UK I'm pretty much limited to only using my phone. I know I could use Skype. In fact I might have to see how much it costs to get enough Skype out credit to last a month and give it a try.

I only use my phone for texting, phone calls, apps that are not available on the N7 and internet when I'm out & in an emergency the WiFi hotspot feature. If Google Voice was available in the UK I'd hardly ever use my phone now.

What does this do that the Google built in device manager doesn't? I thought you could track, wipe, and sound an alert with what's built in to android. Why do I want this (sincerely asking)?

Read up on the features it can do so much more like taking screenshots or activating back or front camera if someone has stolen ur phone you can even activate wifi or location through sms so IMHO far better than android device manager

android manager only works when your account is in use. Consider your phone is stolen and you used a wipe. Now your account information is removed and Google device manager is now useless.
There are lot of differences. I use avast anti theft rooted. My phone was stolen and I was able to track it, control it and eventually got it back after 4 weeks.
What you can do with this app which adm can't
Use sms commands to control your phone
Block Uninstall manager and/or settings page remotely
Whenever a new sim card is inserted you will be notified. This is most useful feature.
Force data and gps connection remotely. The other user can't turn it off.
In my personal opinion, you can't prevent theft.. If you lock down your phone (what you can do in adm) after that, the thief knows there is something wrong, and he may flash new firmware. But these app allow to silently track the phone which gives more power to locate the phone.

Definitely this is a very very useful app, hope the thief doesn't know the loop holes.
