Thinking of buying this phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a newbie, currently I'm using htc one x. I just want to change my phone to samsung. The reason? My htc is always hot all the time, especially when browsing, watching movie, and playing a game. Would you guys telling me whether s3 have the same problem with mine. Thanks for your replying.

My s3's ar fine. I even use otterbox commuter on both of them all the time. I experienced a bit warm at the bottom while playing heavy games for long time, but in rest is fine all the time.

Agreed. I tweaked a lot of aspects on my phone but back when it was stock, didn't notice any hot battery.

Like you I had one x but moved to S3, do it you will not be disappointed. Mine as been fine, no problems at all

Yeah, sometimes mine will over heat, but I was a pretty buggy ROM when it became a problem. When it was stock, heavy use, multiple open apps was causing it to heat up.
I think the plastic back makes a big difference.

I made the switch from one X to SGS3 and overall I think it was worth it. My One X wasn't hot all the time though, so maybe yours is faulty.
For me there's only two real downsides to the SGS3. Firstly, the screen definitely isn't as good. Secondly, there isn't a rom that comes remotely close to what j4n did the the viperx rom. I can't find one rom here that has on-the-fly tweaks even similar to venom tweaks.

By hot you mean upto what temperature??
My s3 goes upto 39° if I play graphic intensive games for long durations...
No problem at all with general usage and browsing for even long periods of time..
Hope this helped..
Btw, I am running stock jelly bean on international s3

I had an HTC one X+, gave it to my mum and get an s3.
I have it since Saturday only but I like it. Really fast, really smooth and u will forget incompatibilities with tons of games from play store.
Games runs much better than HTC but well, maybe it was just my problem, some ppl on x+ forum says they're running games ok. S3 gaming framerate is awesome.
And it was not expensive at all

Overheating issues?

Anybody feel their amaze getting really really warm, almost hot? Kinda makes me not wanna use my phone a lot just because the heat might mess it up.
This happens around 15 mins of usage.
I haven't had that issue even under heavy use like games, videos, and web.
It may be an app or apps constantly running. Do you check your task manager often? U may have to kill some apps. Also is it charging when you use the phone? I know it gets hot quickly that way.

Really depends on what's running. When you first initialize the phone it's going to get hot as it syncs and updates everything but that should pass. If you have location enabled and use the gps, it will get hot, if you use maps and the screen is on, it will get hot...just check it for whats running and delete whats unnecessary. Of course I'm waiting for the root to really delete the crapware.
My amaze has been overheating it feel's like it's on fire randomly sometimes , even when im not on apps .
Mine gets really hot too.. not quite but almost too hot to touch. It's not even plugged in when it happens and its just from playing music it charging.. no heavy usage. Hopefully it'll disappear once we get some roms with no bloatware!
Yeah I experience overheating last night. This is by far the worst ive come accross on any phone. I may go to t mobile and look at the galaxy s2. I love this phone but too many problems for me

Thats exactly what i experienced using my amaze. Charging and using it i have no overheating issues. I guess its just the luck of the draw with these two phones. No phone is perfect though and i think both these devices have great features and potential.

Yeah, both phones are great. Its just with finding the right fit for you. I chose GS2 because I figured we would have a larger dev community, its lighter because of its plastic design and Super Amoled+. The downside of this phone is its resolution, but I don't notice it that much for it to be a big con. I heard some people actually rather the hefty-ness of the Amaze. I'm not gonna lie I love the design quality of it. HTC is always known for gorgeous designs.

Exactly. Finding the right fit for "you" is correct. I came from a vibrant and didnt wanna deal with twiz anymore. I had my ups and down with that phone and i figured i'd give htc a try since i had samsung already. Tbh im happy with the amaze and i know u happy with your sgs2

Definitely happy with my purchase. This phone fits my exact needs. I'm surprised that your not getting overheating issues though. Most of my HTC phones with metal built in or around them had overheating issues after a few minutes of operating them.

Im actually suprised also. Smart phones do get warm when using alot but i might have got lucky because im constantly plugged in and doing something on this phone. My phone hasnt been above 98 degrees f yet. And thats while cruising the net or playing eternity warriors. I dont have any hd games yet so i'll test again when they become available to see if the phone gets real hot.

I guess you definitely one of the lucky few cause my myTouch 4g, G2, Nexus One, HD2 and Sensation all heated up. I know all phones heat up when in use, but the GS2 won't even get hot on the charger while in use and to me that's amazing. I'm glad you enjoy your phone and your not experiencing such issues.

you also have to remember 2 things though.... 1) the unibody designs always conduct the heat to the outside of the phone, although its operating at the same temp of most phones, the reason you notice it with the newer htc models is cause you can actually feel the heat cause of the unibody... 2) the sammys are all plastic, which doesnt conduct heat too well, so although its getting hot inside, you dont feel it. they both prob run at close if not the same temps, but you can just notice it more on the htc... thats all.

At&t HTC One X+ overheat issue

Hi, I got the HTC one X+ from At&t today and every time I try to use it it gets really hot, even when not using its still warm. This hapened to the HTC one X international when I had it like 6 months ago so I returned it. And now I wanted to give another try to HTC and still the same problem. I had lot of phones from Nexus one to last one Galaxy note 2 none of them had this overheating issues. The phone gets hot and the battery drains very fast.
Anyone have same kinds of issue?

I noticed when I was downloading all my apps and installing them, the phone got really hot to the touch. But after that the phone started to cool down and has been fine.

Do you have some objective numbers for hot and warm in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Everything else is pretty subjective and what is hot for you is maybe warm for me
It gets "warm" pretty fast but what do you expect from a quad-core in a small shell "overclocked" to 1.7Ghz. I think it is similar to the GSII.

Haven't they redesigned the wifi antenna for the Hox+? I remember that I read something like that? Hopefully it is not affected by too much heat.
120f is only like 48c. Get worried when you get to the 60s/70s

48C is within tolerance. 60+ is danger zone and I would suggest shutting off the device and letting it cool if it gets there.
This device doesn't have the wifi issues, I've confirmed it multiple times.
Don`t worry, the phone automatically turns itself off when it overheats and will only turn back on once it has cooled sufficiently, no risk whatsoever, the tegra soc was purposely engineered to hit its maximum thermal limit.
Get hot, yes. Overheat no.
Lol soon we might be buying heatsinks for our phones.

What don't you understand. If you want a cooler running phone buy a less powerful one. No matter how many of you moan on here. HTC can not defy the laws of thermodynamics

Yes, this is true. If something is using a lot of power and putting out a lot of heat, the battery will get used. What do you want us to tell you?
The best option is custom kernels and underclock/undervolt. Tegra 3 is a pile of crap but it's the only way to ensure that the One X+ didn't become a vastly different device compared to the One X.
It seems like whenever I'm playing game, even just a simple running game the battery seems get to excessively hot. When I have the phone charging and playing a game it can get upwards of 119f. Is there something that I'm missing?

I understand that but by that notion the phone is unusable while charging for any intense application. I previously had a vivid and was able to play intense games while on the charger until the battery was full and temp never topped 100f. Now I play some simple running game for 15 minutes while charging and my battery is at 119f.

How Does Everyone Like Their Galaxy Note 2?

Just curious what everyone thinks about their galaxy note 2? Anything you really like about it, really don't like about it? I just got it && i love it! Touchwiz isnt that bad to me. May try aosp but i dont know yet.
I'll never go aosp on this phone due to the superior features of touchwiz. Multi Window alone is worth keeping touchwiz for.
Sent from my Note II using Tapatalk 2
I agree with Mac. There are too many features in touch wiz that I wouldn't want to loss by going to AOSP. multiwindow and s note are things I have integrated into my normal day.
That said, I still think this phone on touch wiz is better than my old galaxy S3 on AOSP. The battery life alone was worth the upgrade.

I absolutely love this phone. I came from the droid x2 so any current phone would be a large upgrade but to come to this phone is mind blowing. It's like I went from a dumb phone to a smart phone. The only thing that I found that's an issue is the heat sometimes.
I came from the Droid Charge...the difference is almost indescribable. I have pretty much stopped looking at battery life. I get a day and a half regardless of how much I use it. In a word..fantastic.

I love *almost* everything about it, I just wish it was LCD. I hate AMOLED, and that fact alone almost made me get a DNA. I'm glad I got this one instead, and the screen tuning in Perseus makes the screen look much better, but I admit that I still have some concerns over the longevity of RGB-stripe AMOLED. We'll see in time. I don't usually keep a phone more than a year anyway, so I'll probably have a new phone before any long term problems crop up.
I'm happy with the note 2 (with cleanrom); I woudln't mind it being a bit narrower and thinner and having an external sd slot (like the razr) and hdmi out (I know it has mhl) but otherwise it is fine and dandy. I would not have purchased it if the bootloader had not been broken as I really dislike verizon 'enhancements' to the device (if you call breaking things an enhancement).

Kind of wish the blue one was available when I made the purchase but otherwise white is fine and dandy.

I just got mine yesterday, came from a Galaxy Nexus. I absolutely love it. The bigger screen is awesome. And the battery life is SO SO SO much better. The GNex would drop 70% in my pocket while at school, and I could never get more than 2 hours of screen on time. Whereas with this, on one charge, I'm at 4 hours of screen on time, I've flashed 3 ROMs, and did an hour and a half of driving with bluetooth audio playing music, and my phone just hit 5%. Plus, the GNex was starting to feel slow and choppy, and this is the exact opposite.
Only thing it is missing is the blacked out screen and on screen buttons from the galaxy nexus. Great phone!

Soooo...opinions on multitasking....

Ok so I had only ever owned Samsung phones...I had the HTC one x and I hated how aggressive the multitasking was....so got the one today and I'm still noticing the issue even with the extra gig of ram....like xda for instance if I leave it open and go back it'll refresh...same with the web...I don't know if it's my imagination but personally I don't see a difference..and I have maybe like 4 programs open....btw is there a taskmanager I can use to clear ram?

Ugh. Not going to lie, this post worries me. I made my purchase based on the fact that with such a big deal it was on the HOX I figured reviews would mention it this time if it was a problem and no one had. It's what made me jump to the S3 at the time.

I know what your taking bout, this was the reason I took back the one x after a week and ended up with the S3. I did noticed it a bit when I played with the ONE at the store but not enough to not buy the phone.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.

Does anyone know if flashing a custom ROM on the one x took care of this issue?
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
I just flashed trickdroid....gunna try that out...I know on the one x vipers Rom helped...so maybe when more development comes along there will be better management...it's definitely better then the one x was tho the more I use it

If all else fails, you could setup the XPosed framework (requires Root) on your phone and use the App Settings module to force the browser to never close in the background (tick the Resident option I believe). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I may not touch root or anything until my 15-30 days are up to return it though. I just remember how bad things were on the HOX. No matter the rom or tweak they could never get it fixed. It just drove me off the device eventually. Having a little pre-device buyers remorse at the moment but we'll see this afternoon! Thank you for the future reference though.

I myself am torn. This phone is so nice but oddly I'm not over excited about it for some reason....maybe I've stuck with Samsung's too long ...no but seriously the screen and speakers are phenomenal and sense 5 is very nice, tho I could do without the feed...does the buyers remorse start in the day of receiving the device correct?

Well from what Ive read on the international forums people say the multitasking is good one this phone...like I've said I've only ever owned samsungs and this is my second attempt at an HTC phone...so my opinions may be biased so to speak...but from my experience multitasking on my gs3 worked much better then the htcs I've tried...again use it own opinions on it...I'm not knocking HTC at all...I like both companies...

Flash much?
I think it only refreshes if it falls off the multitasking screen.
Never mind. It's as bad as the hox for browsing.

Mines seems very selective...some times I can have xda open to a post...do something else...come back and it's fine...others it refreshes and bump me back to the main page...also (not sure if it's a Netflix thing) but if I pause a video and come back it'll return me to the main screen as well...is there a task manager where I can free up some ram?
I really want to love this phone it's so nice ....I hate to say it through not too crazy bout the camera quality....

This scares me about the phone. I was about to pick it up tomorrow but now I am second guessing myself. I really did hate the HOX multitasking. Where I work the Internet is slow, I don't want to have to wait for all the reloads.

Yeah. It's no where near the Galaxy S or Note lines. I don't really know why HTC cripples it to be honest. It's not bad, but it's not good. I mean, a lot of us don't swap out batteries. If HTC is going to cripple multitasking and memory management to improve battery life they should follow their own "studies" that most people don't use extra batteries and just keep it normal.
Yeah I'd rather have to charge it then have my phone refreshing all the time.

Yeah I honestly am probably not going to root or unlock this one. I don't mind it stock to be honest. And it seems to cause more trouble than it's worth.

No we do not have Sense 6 ROMs. Of course it's normal it's a Tegra 3 device what you expect?

As @Daryll99 mentioned, Tegra devices are known for getting hot. But it is normal and you shouldn't worry about it (even if battery-app-savers will warn you with a battery overheating warning). If you read about the HOX on wiki, you will see that the first HOX with no updates liked to reach even higher temperatures than now .
When I play games, I hold my fingers on the edge of phone, don't know how you are playing. It is comfortable and I don't need to worry about my fingers .
Dont worry about your fingers? im worried about the CPU
HOX+ enrc2b, ARHD8.0, Elitekernel3.1.10 modded
