Australian Samsung Galaxy S3 to be unveiled on May 31 in a Sydney special event
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 24, 2012 3 Comments">3
Do you remember that Samsung announcement from a couple of weeks back, saying that there are no plans to unveil any information about the Galaxy S3 launch in Australia? And do you remember how we wondered if Aussie users would have to wait for months to get Sammy’s new flagship, if they’d get it at all? Well, forget all about that. Apparently, Samsung has been handing out media invitations for “an exclusive launch of Samsung’s latest offering”. The event will take place in Sydney (where else?) on Thursday, 31 May, and will be attended by Tyler McGee, Samsung Australia’s vice …
Galaxy S3 gets Bluetooth certified some more, all but confirmed for all major US carriers
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 3 Comments">3
Less than 24 hours after seeing Verizon’s Galaxy S3, codenamed SCH-I535, getting Bluetooth SIG’s approval, we now have the best of news for fans of the other three major US carriers. The Galaxy S3 has gotten certified in three more versions and will most definitely hit Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile in addition to Big Red. The news is very refreshing – we are now almost sure that the Galaxy S3 will come to all of the major networks in America, at about the same time. That’s a huge step forward for Samsung, who enraged many tech enthusiasts last year, with the …
Samsung defends Galaxy S3 design, says nothing to do with lawsuit
by Bams Sadewo on May 23, 2012 3 Comments">3
With the runaway success of the Galaxy S lineup and as Samsung’s biggest and brightest star, it’s only to be expected that the latest iteration of the Galaxy S series will be scrutinized and placed under a magnifying glass. The design of the Galaxy S3, for instance, has been equally praised and loathed, but critics went so far as to say that it was designed by Samsung’s lawyers to avoid future litigation from Apple. Samsung’s officials, naturally, deny the claim. Talking to journalists during the 2012 Seoul Digital Forum, Samsung design vice president Chang Dong-hoon said that the company has …
XDA brings back the S Voice, working again on non-Galaxy S3 devices
by Kelvin Servigon on May 23, 2012 19 Comments">19
Droid-Life On Monday, we reported that a leaked Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM became available for download for all, packed with all the goodness of the smartphone’s great features. Not surprisingly, the full Galaxy S3 ROM came from XDA, everybody’s go-to site for all things amazing. As soon as the S3 ROM became available online, one of its key features, the S Voice app, became available for download as well, for all Android users who want to try out the proprietary Samsung voice command app. But most of the users who tried out the app said that it failed to work. …
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs LG Optimus 4X HD
by Mike Andrici on May 22, 2012 2 Comments">2
Judging on their Q1 2012 earnings report, LG’s business is not all that bad, as their profit in the “Mobile Communications” sector has doubled over the same quarter last year. Apparently, one of the main reasons for their increase in profit margins is the commercial success of the LG Optimus line of smartphones. But if LG plans to keep sales of the Optimus line of Android smartphones alive over the following quarters, they need not look that far to catch a glimpse of the device they will have to beat in order to remain financially successful. In fact, their perspective …

![Samsung Galaxy S3 already on sale in Dubai! [Updated with pics]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/galaxy-s3-sale-dubai-2.jpg)
[Updated] The Verge got hold of actual images of the Galaxy S3 sold early in Dubai. Consider the news confirmed. The build-up to the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S3 was a long drawn-out affair, with a whirlwind of emotions whipping the Android fanboy masses into a frenzy. May 3 was the big day, with the much-hyped “next Galaxy” officially presented at an event in London. This was followed by the whole world letting out a sigh of relief, as design, specifications, and accessory information were suddenly available to the public. We are now in the post-announcement stage, where …
Samsung Galaxy S3 for Verizon almost confirmed. Bluetooth SIG approves the SCH-I535
by Ankit Banerjee on May 22, 2012 18 Comments">18
A big disadvantage for consumers in the US is the fact that their choice of mobile device is restricted according to what network carrier they choose, and vice versa. For example, a big reason why T-Mobile has struggled over the past few years is the lack of the iPhone in its smartphone lineup. Similarly, the HTC One X is available exclusively for AT&T subscribers, with a One X variation featuring a complete re-design, the HTC EVO 4G, available on Sprint. Granted, it is possible to buy unlocked versions of the device, but this deprives customers of some of the benefits …
How Wireless Charging Works
by Shea Harris on May 22, 2012 17 Comments">17
If you’re like me, you find having to plug in your phone to charge it quite annoying. After all, we now live in a wireless world. What could be more cumbersome than having your phone plugged into the wall half the day? Wireless charging isn’t new, for example Palm (R.I.P) and HP made their Touchstone wireless charging system available for their webOS devices. It just hasn’t quite caught yet, but we’ll get into the reason for that later. The good news is that wireless charging looks like it may soon become more main stream, and one sign of this is …

First Galaxy S3 custom ROM already up for download, courtesy of Omega team
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 21, 2012 3 Comments">3
Samsung’s Galaxy S3 still has a long way to go before its official release, especially in the US or Canada (where it still doesn’t have a precise launch date), but you can already play around with the new phone’s software. A couple of days back, XDA dev Chainfire managed to root the S3 without even holding it for a second in his hands, while just hours later the official ROM had been leaked, courtesy of another industrious developer, Faryaab. It was only a matter of time before we began to see custom ROMs pop up on the web, so it should come as …

![Samsung moves to block unofficial use of S Voice, wants to keep it fresh for the Galaxy S3 [Updated]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/samsung-s-voice-front1.jpg)
Updated with workaround for Samsung’s restriction. See below. Thanks, Frank! While not everyone is enamored with the design of the Samsung Galaxy S3, apparently people don’t mind getting an early taste of the phone’s smart software. It started with Flipboard, a supposedly exclusive social magazine app for the Galaxy S3, which was extracted from the device merely days after its introduction. Then came the wide availability of the Galaxy S3’s ROM, which gave way for even more goodies to come. One of said goodies is Samsung’s answer to Siri, the Samsung S Voice. The APK for Samsung S Voice was highly …

Yes, you read it right, a full Android 4.0.4 ROM with the latest iteration of TouchWiz featured on the Galaxy S3 is here! So, if you’re looking for a way to test or simply use the S3′s TouchWiz interface even before the device itself is released, this is your chance. Note: this ROM will only work if your device has Android 4.0 ICS, initial reports …

by Arnold Zafra on May 19, 2012 4 Comments">4
Yes, believe it or not dear readers, there are roughly 75,000 people working hard right now to manufacture the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you’ve read the recent report saying that there are 9 million pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S3, you must be wondering whether these people can actually make 9 million units in time for its release? The short answer is yes, they can. How did we arrive to the said figures? We’ll spare you the horrid details (not to mention the math) and just give you a brief recap of a feature ran by ExtremeTech.com. In the article, …
XDA dev Chainfire roots Samsung Galaxy S3 weeks ahead of release
by Arnold Zafra on May 19, 2012 3 Comments">3
What do we have here? The well-known Android developer that goes by the name of Chainfire has managed to root the Samsung Galaxy S3 even before the phone is released. Isn’t that amazing? Well if this is the first time you hear such news it is indeed amazing. But for the more avid Android fans, this news is nothing new. For one thing, Chainfire is an established developer and many of those who follow him expected this to happen. Also, Samsung has this penchant for not making it too hard for developers to root an upcoming device, even way before …
