most people tend to lose sight of teh big picture. the custom roms add a few cool features, but sgs3 on jellybean (4.1, 4.2 is a trainwreck) is more than i could ever need :)

Well LG already did do an excellent job with stock :p
The only app that NEEDS to be removed is MetroPCS easy wifi...

Totally agree with ya. This stupid S3 is sometimes laggy with minor bugs and I cannot move the app drawer icon to the middle of the dock where I like it. I will not be rooting this phone, it should be good out of the box. Not worth $500 :mad:

Meanwhile my $200 Spirit has been flawless. Will root this one. :D

I decided I will not be getting the S4 when it comes out. I'll wait for LG's answer to the S4 instead. I'm sure it will be better.

Funny vid lol
METROPCS GIVE ME MY $500 BACK NOW!!!!! - YouTube

let me get this straight you are pissed off because you cant move the app drawer icon? grab a different launcher.

that video is sad... the guy is clearly clueless and an idiot. he prolly has crap coverage and blames it on the phone "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IM ROAMING2E!@e?!@3ER123E"

No... You have misunderstood my post.
I'm disappointed because a $500 phone should not be laggy or have bugs out of the box unlike the spirit which has been flawless for $200. I know I can root it and that would fix it, but for the price I shouldn't have to.

Just in case your thinking it... It's not user error. Other people are experiencing this also with the S3.

The drawer icon is no big deal... I know there's a gazillion launchers out there. Just wanted the stock to have the ability like the spirit.

As far as the video... It was funny to me to see him rant like an idiot.

amen brother!!!

They give us a lot of customization, even being able to move dock icons, I want to change out the wallpaper apk, take out a few built in apps, and just a few tweaks.

I don't even care about a custom ROM, this thing is pretty fast and snappy. Though I wouldn't mind if Ldrifta would decide to do something for the phone.

My only complaint is the stupid software they have on for connecting it to a PC. Everytime i connect it it wants to install stuff and searches for software its really annoying and half the time the sc cards don't show u.p I have to unplug it and plug it back in 5 times. I've tried it on 3 dif. pc's and its done it on every one of them. I never understand why these companies feel they need to load phones with all this garbage.

touche, however the sgs3 has many features the spirit doesnt have. its fairly well known in the android community both sense and touchwiz are very intensive skins that use a lot of resources which is where your lag comes in at :/. the sgs3 on jellybean tw runs much nicer and i cant wait for an official release. many people are rooting etc just to be able to add multiwindow :)

i truly pity people like that in the video, he isnt the only one by any means. on metropcs' facebook its a daily barrage of people demanding jellybean, yet none of them even know wtf it is they just know the word jellybean and want it.

When I was in the metro store the other day, I played with the gs3 and was shocked by the lag... for $500 the Esteem and Spirit shouldn't be snappier than it out of the box.

Some will say oh change the launcher... root it and flash a custom ROM.. but the point is for $500 you shouldn't have to.
