Goodbye Samsung Galaxy S3 - sent back!

[BonGioviWayne]

Just sent my Samsung Galaxy S3 back to T Mobile here in the UK

kept dropping signal on wi fi
totally rubbish sound on video recordings
didnt like the black background on main email section, you cant change it!
loved the screen size but colours look unnatural even when on lowest setting


no way in hell i was staying in a 24 month contract with a phone that isnt what i expected, very disappointing

i think i will wait until Samsung fix these problems, which knowing them will be about 12 months

strange, i dont have any of those problems. You should just ask for another one.

I have to admit the WiFi signal on mine isn't as good as the S2 but I would expect it may be fixed in a future upgrade?
The sound is absolutely fine and very adjustable.
I wouldn't get rid of a phone because of the background in messages???
Colours look fine to me and you can adjust brightness.

got to say;
I like the default black email client. Battery saving!
WiFi has been great
I dont record videos so couldn't comment there.
Screen looks very realistic. You can set the mode, natural, Dynamic, Movie etc as you can with a Samsung LCD TV. Very configurable for all tastes. Sharp too.

No problems here either. Wifi drop outs were fixed by setting sleep policy to always

Hi BonGioviWayne,

My wifi is at least one and a half times better than the SGS2. The screen size and colors are unmatched by any other screen that I have seen.

I recorded a video in a Crazy bar-club with all kinds of 1000 different color lights people dancing and etc and the picture and sound were as sharp as I could expect from the Smartest Smartphone ever produced.

My phone has nothing of the things you mentioned above.

I have a minor WiFi problem; sometimes when I want to switch between my 2.4 and 5GHz networks it won't connect to the other one unless I turn WiFi off and on again.

That's the only problem I've had related to the things you mention. Don't record many videos, but from what I have recorded the sound seems okay? *shrug*
