First unboxing vid with audio!
Looks like no headphones are confirmed.
Another no headphones type thread...must be cause noone cares about them
Interesting buzzing at 2:43 when the data kicked in. Are we are back to the days of data humming in our speakers with LTE?
What? I was letting every know there was an unboxing vid and confirming to many others that there was in fact no headphones.

Any reviews out yet? They should be hitting this week since ATT sends out promo units before launch.

Reviews of phones in my opinion need at least a month of the phone being used.
People that post "reviews" a couple days after release are merely a "hands-on" video of the phone.

I meant places like engadget or mobile tech review. Surely they have had the phones for a week. I trust them to give me objective information. They can do that spending a few days or a week with a phone.

The portrait to landscape (vice versa) transitions?
Agreed to an extent. On my Nexus S running ICS the transition delay was 200ms and was changeable to up to 10ms.
I found that having a quick auto rotation could be sometimes frustrating because the screen would rotate when I didn't want it to, like when I put the phone down on the table.

It has NFC but my understanding is that it's not currently enabled in the stock software. Presumably this is a difficulty a custom ROM or kernel maker could rectify.

Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.
Hows the qhd screen? Does the 3d effect work well for you?

No HDMI cable yet.
Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

I had a dream last night I had my EVO 3d, im glad to hear that the phone is better than these "credible reviewers" BS troll fodder we seen online.
Now we should be asking is the call quality good enough you could hear the plops?

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

Hello Prime owners! Asus has just released the 04012012 update with the following fixes:
-GPS issues fixed!! GPS chip power flow enhanced, can now lock on while you are on the toilet! However, it is recommended that you open a window as using the toilet can interfere with the gps signal.
- Face unlock added! Just stare at the Prime's front camera and the Prime will open or be turned off based off your looks! Best to use after a morning shower as ugly looks can cause the Prime to reboot in disgust.
- Wifi has been completely fixed!! The Prime can now pick up a perfect signal 300 feet from your router. Signal can be enhanced if yuo gently rub the center of the screen with a circular motion.
- Battery life increased! Battery can now last two days in a singal charge. to activate this power feature, simply hold down the power button an select shut down. The prime will beep with a confirmation of the power saving mode being activated!
- Random reboots fixed! no ore rebooting when watching long sessions of porn via the web browser. Now you can stream safely without stopping your strokes with your right hand (or left)
The update will be released in the next hour or so in Europe, Germany, Africa, china and Iraq followed lastly to the U.S.
Also, Gary has chosen to pass on any secret info to me first, so I am now the official Asus contact person!!
Love you guys!

Hmm, that's odd as its working fine for me. Let me ask, did your dinner last night include beans by any chance?? I think the chemicals produce by beams are strong enough to still cause a weak GPS signal.

i just got my S3 and i m so worried and so sad people!
i got the pebble blue s3. i have issues with my screen. i ran the screen test and found the same dark spots on my screen when screen is black. there are lots of them. i dont have nice camera to take pic of those dots. they are really annoying because i surf the internet a lot and these dots are very visible specially in the dark!
the other issue is something with the viewing angle. when i hold the device right next to my eyes (as we all do most of the times) the screen seems to be more yellowish and the colors seem to be alot washed away! but when i change the viewing angle like just a little, i mean when i tilt the device just a little the colors get normal the way they should be!
the next thing is the pink tint. in the browser the white pages are EXTREMELY PINK! yes EXTREMELY PINK! that happens at the automatic brightness!
when viewing the black color on the sceen, when the capacitive touch buttons are on the light of the menu button seems to leave its light on the screen. and the blacks are NOT AT ALL BLACK!!!
people i am so tensed and worried! can someone help me out of these problems? i have read that the white S3 does not have any of this problem is it true? i have also read that the dark spots are because of the glu used and those would go away with time, but i dont believe in that! should i send the device to claim warranty and get it repaired? pls pls pls some one help me! i have spent all my money i had saved for the past 4 months for this set and i even sold my Galaxy Note for this! i am so much tensed! pls help me guys!
well jumping off a bridge will ease ur pain
You got a defective unit it happens. So send it back or get it repaired / exchanged. You spent a lot of money you should get a product that works as intended without defects. The sooner the better you'll be much happier. Best advice I can give you. All without the need to jumping off a bridge or if you do hope that you that you land on kyan to break your fall.

The block splotches are absolutely not indicative of a bad display.
They are present on virtually every OLED screen, ranging from the Nexus One's, to the PlayStation Vita's, to the Samsung Galaxy S3's.
I can't speak for your other issues, but people need to understand the splotches are common on pretty much any OLED. Some can see them easily, some seem to be unable to, but it does not mean the panel is defective.
Why are you on here? I see you just joined the site recently. How about you learn to be polite and if you can't, then leave.

yeah u r right. i guess my set is faulty. but i thought this might be something that would get ok with time. but that does does not make any sense. if those dots were something related to the glue, those should have been vanished by now as the set is old now. i mean it should have been produced at least like 1 or 2 months ago.
man i am ruined! i feel really so so bad! i just got up its 7 here in the morning and i am so badly hurt! and great news is that today is complete shutter down strike here in my city Karachi. so all the market and whole of the city is shut down. so i cant go to the store and return the device!

You have to admit though that it was funny
I use an app called dead pixel test, and it allows you to cycle through several different solid coloured screns, like all white, all black, red blue etc. No probelms with my screen, but I have a screen protector on it now.
Does yours have a screen protector that could be affecting it? Otherwise just return it as faulty.
I also have the pebble blue and screen is amazing. No issues here. Did notice the marks on a completely black screen in a dark room once but it hasn't showed since. Didn't really bother me.

Get over it and get it exchanged if your not happy, but seriously whining like the above makes you look very silly as your acting like an 8 year old with a tantrum.

TNT turned up at exactly the same time the wife popped up the local, I've been told I can pick it up from the depot at 9am tomorrow..
At least the depot is over the road from work I suppose..
Ordered at 8:58 as an afterthought because the Nexus 4 sold out even quicker (I'd always intended on getting the N10 as well, I know it's not exactly an alternative to the N4 lol) Went out late this morning but luckily there's always someone in at my house. Got home about 1ish and there it was.

Tell us about the screen. The reviews said that the colours are muted. Any truth to this? Or did they over exaggerate?
How fast is browsing? How about apps more dependent on stored data, like Currents or other apps that make you wait while they "load"? Oh, one more thing -- can someone check the dalvik.vm.heapsize and the vm.swappiness for me please? Thank you
Mine has arrived! UK, ordered 16gb 8:55am. It is such a nice device! Screen is amazing!

can't really comment since this is my first tablet but the colours are quite nice , i wouldnt say exaggerated but could be considered a vibrant mellow, if that makes sense.

stock browser is chrome which is speedy but i'll more than likely switch it up. Apps load quickly too although the ram usage is rather high. Idles over 1gb but it maybe due to my two user configuration.
I understood the entire package weighs almost 3000 grams! What is in it that makes it so heavy? The device it self weigs only 603 grams..what's the other 2,5 kilos??
Can somebody please comfirm to me how much the entire parcel weighs in grams? (as you have received it by mail including the shipping box)
I need to know this for a shipping price quote.
Thanks in advance!

no idea, the box is small and only has the charger inside it and a tiny manual.
Wow looks like a bunch of you already got it. I'm still waiting for a shipping confirmation. Nothing yet

Happy for you guys.:good:
Now if one of you will just look under display in the settings and tell us once and for all if there is an option there for "wireless display" please? The uncertainty of whether it was getting miracast or not has kept me from pushing the "buy it now " button.

Just checked and no 'wireless display' option. Sorry!

Weird. In those pictures, the AT&T version has a bit of a blue hue to it, while the Verizon version is hard black. There's definitely some kind of color difference on the back cover. Although, user pics of the AT&T version seen HERE look pretty black to me.
I find the software differences to be very odd.

Verizon removed the brightness and volume sliders from the notification window. I wish AT&T did this too.

I agree. I just know that it probably means that software updates on Verizon's are even less likely if there are two different versions. Good thing I'm going to throw stock android on as soon as it's possible.
Will there be anyway to remove that awful Verizon logo at the top right?
I came across some posts about using a penny to rub off the logo and it leaves no scratches.
I suppose you could add a sticker over it too.
Verizon is just out of control with their logo placement.
I personally like the brightness slider and it being gone is a dissapointment. Honestly after watching this vid im less enthused about the G2 since Verizon cant keep their damn hands off anything.
so am I, dude. that settings menu looks awful. I'm really reconsidering everything now. this is so damn annoying

I am on AT&T and feel sorry for our Verizons buddies. At first i felt the menu was bad too. As a matter of fact menu is not that bad it is just that we are so much used to watching the demo videos of the international phones. You may eventually start liking it as we play along. Don't be disappointed. Think about it.

I hear what ur saying and your right but it gets old man. Its like this with every phone. The buttons on the back of the G2 i actually like them better as far as looks. They look like metal and look premium. The wireless charging i want so thats nice to. The problem is you guys already have root, something that probably wont be as easy with the Vzw version, and a unlockable bootloader probably wont even be a option.

Yeah i agree rooting is always a problem for Verizon devices. But as you mentioned features like wireless charging pay you everyday which is not likely in AT&T devices. There are pros and cons.
Did the Verizon version G2 just get one of the stereo speakers removed essentially making it a mono speaker setup? Yikes....
Feel bad so far for Verizon adopters so far

Both ATT and Verizon are mono.
Root will come. Well, if devs come...

Thanks for clarifying. Didn't know that. I'm a bit spoiled with the stereo setup on the HTC One.
