Coming from HTC to touchwiz - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I've been watching videos and looked for threads regarding this but haven't seen just a list of differences was wondering if anyone could do a short difference list. I'm coming from an HTC thunderbolt been using sense. Pre-ordered with verizon but looking for like a heads up.

I also came from a thunderbolt. Your in for a real treat man thats all i can say. Get excited for the mail man. GS3 is on a whole new level in every way from the thunderbolt.

touchwiz is a bit different from stock or sense but its pack with incredible features!!

I'm going to miss sense soo much. I'll always have my incredible2 to play with though. Especially with nitsuj deving sense4 to it so well.. hopefully there is a good miui Rom atleast

This is great news! This means more ROMs hopefully that is lol, if someone is willing to do it for the amaze. even though its going open source i dont think it will make it entirely easy to port still. unless we got it directly from the sensation and do a few (or a lot) of changes lol
Never was a fan of it but hey, more ROMs the merrier!
That's good news!! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent news for all phones. When I was on sprint I never used it for long because of the lack of WiMAX. Now that can be fixed, along with obviously support for more phones.
Guess they are finally satisfied with the state of it. It came a long way since its first release.

I love MIUI! This would be awesome on the amaze.

After the 3D

What is the next BIG phone that might be worth buying.....
is everyone done with the 3D gimmick yet????
I love my E3d but I was indeed over the 3d gimmick after the first day. Next device....not sure yet.
EVO LTE maybe?

With as aweful as sprint and HTC are at updating my next phone will be a nexus phone. I'm going to miss sense though. I really do love their lockscreen and some of their widgets.

Don't count the Galaxy Nexus getting time;y uppdates from sprint seeing as my Nexus S 4g still hasn't even received an estimate to the release of the update to 4.0.x. I don't really care whose fault it is at this point (Google, Samsung, Sprint) I will not take my chances with a nexus on a CDMA network again, the Verizon GN is having late update issues as well.
Actually, EVO 3D is getting ICS this end of April or the beginning of May. So if you can wait a few weeks you'll be able to get ICS and still keep Sense. ICS will have Sense 3.6 included. I suggest you Google it. I can't leave you a link and make your life easier since I'm still a Junior. Sense 3.6 is exactly like the HTC one X. (Or was it XL?) Well just letting you know dude.

Whoa you need to slow down bud as your getting some things wrong here.... Sense 3.6 is nothing like the Sense 4.0 that's on the One series phones...

Really ? How so? Besides the 4.0

Ha the 3D isn't a gimmick. Especially the 3D camera is great, capturing memories in 3D.

Is this a joke? Sense 4.0 is totally different to 3.6.

There is zero need to prove it right now if you insist on being lazy and not simply looking it up your self....they are widely different.
4.0 has things like....different launch bar(rosie), white menus, the whole camera apk improvements, app drawer scrolls sideways...Fully integrated beats with it able to use on 3rd party apps, dropbox storage deal,...
3.6 has same theme black menus, app drawer scrolls vertical, a different rosie, and missing all the stuff mentioned above...
Look them up and you'll see.
Next time you ask a question without searching at all I personally won't answer you. Please take the 5sec to search even YouTube for a sense 3.6 vid and sense 4.0 vid...

Nah its a gimmick right now. 3D devices have not taken off as I wish it would. Hopefully within the coming years it will be more common.
Capturing moments in 3d is great....but sharing a moment in 3d would be great as well...and not many people out there that you can share a 3d picture or video with.

Damn...so that means we will have to deal with you in the Evo3D forums for atleast another month?
Galaxy S3. I am looking for something new.
I never thought i'd say this...but my next phone might be a Samsung. lol
I really wish HTC wasn't soooo blind and/or blatantly anti-consumer. It seems like Samsung got everything right with the gs3 while the new line of HTC phones still have quite a few things that I really don't like about them.
I haven't finalized my decision by any means, but as of now, i'm definitely leaning towards the GS3.
Everything was looking so good right up until the screen...F That crap...not even going to give pentile display a 2nd thought after seeing the Galaxy Nexus up close.

Galaxy note... Here I come. I think.

new evo ... locked in battery
gs3 for me
The answer would be easy if HTC would listen to the community. But since Samsung makes their devices developer friendly its a hard not to go with them. Even with the screen quality being less than the Evo LTE. The Evo is guaranteed to be locked and I can't stand being restricted. HTC also doesn't give out source code so our devs can't build functioning roms. Thats why I'm leaning Samsung
Coming from the rezound in June. I was happy with the way the one x looked and thought that's what I'd be getting, then the evo let design came out. It kind of bummed me but it's growing on me. The sg3 just doesn't have a good enough design for me. I like the lte's look better. Still wish it looked like the one x though :/. Oh well I still can't wait.

How nice would this be on our precious amaze

I don't believe there are ANY meizu roms for any phone. I personally think this would be a wonderful and beautiful rom. What do you all think?

Not a whole lot different from miui. Would be nice, but it's been out for a while and don't think it's ever been ported..I could be wrong
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
The similarities are there, couple ui features I wouldn't mind having though. I don't believe they release there source codes. Either way, nothing wrong with variety. No harm in snooping around the idea

Switch from iphone?

Has anyone made the switch from the iphone to this device? If so what are you thoughts/comparisons? Would you make the switch back? I am sure this has been asked but I am at work and just time constrained and can't search. Any input is greatly appreciated.

This is a great phone and will do just about anything the iPhone can do, the two downsides are the battery life is nowhere near the iPhones and the games on the play store are lacking but catching up quickly.
The screen in my opinion is much easier on the eyes than the iPhone and I love the size and feel of it. All in all if you don't mind buying an extended battery than I'd say this phone is ideal.
That being said, there are some newer phones out that are just as good but with that better battery life.
Hope I helped
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Helped a lot actually thank you I am just torn between this or wait until the Incredible 4GLTE is released. I like HTC a lot. Too bad they opted out of the HTC One series. :-( That is an impressive device.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, in my personal opinion I'd just wait if out until the end of the summer. Some really great phones are coming out that will have better battery and a better chance of receiving the new jelly bean software (faster and more features than ice cream).
Glad I could help you out

Actually both my phones are Verizon so the HTC One X is a no go for me unfortunately. I know the Rezound is getting 4.0.

Wait for the incredible 4g if you want HTC. The battery on this one is pretty bad. The snapdragon s3 is not easy on the battery. Otherwise look at the nexus or the razr Maxx (official ics is rolling out as we speak) and its pretty close to aosp. They also have working cm9.
Just realized I forgot about the galaxy s3. That's also a great choice.
