Yep we can have Lollipop 5.1 on our old i9300. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-aosp-unofficial-slimlp-alpha-0-9-t2977801 It is only in alpha at the moment, but it is pleasing to know, nontheless. Charging up my phone ready f0r a flash...

If the phone comes with Cyanogenmod, is it rooted? And what kind of recovery does it have if anyone knows?

I thought it would be useful to discuss the differences between the two AOSP rom bases. On XDA forums the creator of Archidroid rom, JustArchi as declared that he is changing from the CM base to the Omni base because CM has no dedicated maintainers for the S3 and that one of the main devs from...

I want to get ADB working on my Windows 7 PC. Which drivers do I need to install to get it working? I downloaded Android SDK and it includes a Google USB driver. Is this the one I should install? I'm on kitkat 4.4 if that makes a difference. I'm doing this as a long-winded way of making my...

I have this problem where I have no storage space left on my internal memory but the usage is unaccounted for. My apps add up to about 4GB but there is 6GB missing somehow. I'm on AOKP. I've attached a screenshot of my storage page. This is a new flash of the rom, and I've just...

I was on AOKP mr1 with googy max kernel and all was working fine. I wanted to try Illusion rom so did a nandroid backup, flashed the zip, wiped the phone and rebooted the phone. I suspected there was something wrong when I was confronted by the googy max splash screen, and the boot never...

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I need some help getting my wifi tethering to work. I'm on AOKP and I get the message on both my windows PC's that "Wireless Network Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration" and it fails to obtain an internet connection. The...

Hi, I've just recently installed AOKP mr1 Milestone rom on my phone, but I have no network signal, and I was wondering if this is a known issue, or whether there is some setting I can change. To make sure it wasn't my network, I booted into recovery and restored my nandroid of neatrom and I...

I found what I think is a great deal if anyone is looking for a GS3 or knows someone shopping for one. As the title says: Unlimited data (on 3UK), 500 mins, 5000 txt, 24mth contract @

I'm kind of posting this on behalf of a friend. When her phone was connected to my PC via the Sony PC Companion software, we were informed that there was a firmware update available, and I suggested that she should go for it because ICS is much better than Gingerbread. But after taking my advice...

Has anyone seen the new Galaxy Camera? It seems like an S3 with a huge camera on the back. It's got a 1.4GHz quad core processor, 4.77" HD display and Jelly Bean. This is the first (that I know of) dedicated compact camera with Android OS on board. Check it out: Samsung Galaxy Camera -...

If it had been available I would likely have bought it instead of my S3, but it's taken so long to be released that I think it has lost a lot of its potential market. It is now available online for

The Ascend D Quad is now available online. Huawei Ascend D1 quad now available online for $425 | The Verge It's too late for me though. I got fed up with waiting and got a Galaxy S3.

I've bought a couple of duds so far that have had to be returned, and it seems that Amazon have been called out for supplying cards that are "not as described", driving them to withdraw the product, as you can see on their website: Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card with SD Adapter...

I've read threads on here where people have found difficulties getting their phone to cooperate nicely with their car. Maybe this new Samsung app will help. At launch it is only available for the S3. It's called Drive Link: Samsung Electronics introduces Drive Link - The smartphone app for...

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can show the quality of the camera, if not our shooting skills. I haven't really used the camera much but this weekend I took a couple of pics and so I wanted to share them. I'd never seen a growing artichoke before, so I had to...

I (successfully, I think) rooted my S3 and now I have a problem with my windows drivers. I plugged it into the USB and nothing happened. It didn't show up in Computer. I opened Kies and it didn't connect. I uninstalled Kies and the drivers and reconnected the phone with USB debugging off and...

I am thinking it would be worthwhile buying some adapters to make use of some of the cool and unique features of this awesome phone, and wanted to get people's advice and opinions. USB Host/ OTG I've found a couple of promising adapter cables that should enable the phone to work as a USB...

The effects of trying to keep the screen on with smart stay?

If you dial the code *#7465625# into your dialer a screen will display, telling you whether Network Lock is ON or OFF. I wanted to compile statistics about which networks are locking their branded phones. I am on 3UK, and my branded phone is SIM UNLOCKED! Is your branded Galaxy SIII SIM locked?

Just wanted to post to put people's minds at rest if they had concerns, ahem, concerning the time to obtain a location fix. On my S3 it takes about 4 (FOUR) seconds to get a fix after an app such as Maps turns on the GPS. :) This is amazing for me, coming from the Desire which took about...

I'm expecting my brand new GS3 to arrive tomorrow :), and I'm wondering how I should charge it straight out of the box. :confused: Should I plug it in straight away, and leave it alone without touching it for hours and hours until fully charged? Should I just start using whatever residual...
