SAMSUNG GALXY SIII IN A NOT SO GOOD SITUATION!

I seen a this on Engadget Mobile an was Shocked at What i seen. New Owners might what to see this as well..
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-melts/

I'm guessing it was most likely a faulty third party accessory that the phone didn't like. Either that, or it was a circumstantial fault within the phone or extreme circumstances. Until I hear in the news about the outbreak of Galaxy S3 deaths across the country, I'll go ahead and say my S3 pre-order is still a go.
It could also be a last ditch effort from apple to try and discredit the phone, I really wouldn't put it past them. They've already proven how far they're willing to go to stay on top. << Comment removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>

    Probably either never, or not for a very long time. Firefox for mobile requires an ARMv7 processor, your phone has a v6. While the development team is considering supporting ARMv6, it is in the beginning stages, and may not happen, or at least not for a long time.

    Hi, on a new MBPR 13, I transferred pics from my Samsung Tracfone smartphone using AndroidTransferFile app, worked good. My Samsung Galaxy Tab will not transfer with ATF, tried Samsung Kies also no luck, any ideas? Thanks...

    Today I downloaded a new version of Kies, 3.1.0.15042_6, and it seemed to work fine.  I was able to backup my Note 3 running Lollipop with no hesitation.  Files transferred to my Mac running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.3, easily.  The download is available at http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/

  • Why can't i import photos from my Samsung Galaxy SII

    In the past I have been able to import photos from my phone, a Samsung Galaxy SII. For some reason, I am no longer able to do this. When I connect the phone by USB, two "cameras" appear under Devices in iPhoto. One titled "NO NAME" and one titled "Untitled". Both appear to be empty, neither has any photos available for download. However the phone appears to be functioning properly in all respects. I can take new photos and see in the Gallery that there are any number of images which I have not yet downloaded to my Mac.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue?

    A couple of people have mentioned an issue with this device. It appears that the OS is not storing the images in the standard way. Can you use another method to get the pics to your Mac? Bluetooth?

  • Can i use my Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon from att?

    Im going to switch to att and i was curious if i can use my samsung galaxy SIII from att on verizon.

    Verizon uses CDMA for calls and texting. At&t phones do not have CDMA radios as they use GSM. Now the phone does support Verizon's XLTE frequency but not Verizon's 700 MHz LTE frequency. So you won't be able to call or text and only part of Verizon's LTE network will be available to use.

  • Problem connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro

    Hello. I have issue with connecting Samsung Galaxy SII to Mac book Pro Late 2011! When i connect phone to Mac via usb, phone makes sound but nothing happens. Even if i open Transfet tool. Problem is not in Phone or wire as on another computers like my MinMac it works fine. Also on Windows side all is ok. Mac book Pro USB ports also are ok as it finds and open my iPhone5! Is there possibility that there is some faults with USB drivers in Mac book Pro! How can i reset or restart usb drivers if fault is there! What else you can suggest to try?
    Thanks!
    Best regards,

    i did went to Samsung Support: here is the result of it:
    Isabella: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
    Visitor: Hello Isabella. How are you today ?
    Isabella: I am fine. Thank you for asking.
    Isabella: Please proceed with the query.
    Visitor: I hope you can help me fix connecting issue for Galaxy S II with my Mac Book Pro late 2011. It was working till some day and now it does not recognise it when i connect phone via USB. I should note that on Windows on same machine or on my Mini Mac it works fine. so it can't be problem in wire or usb ports. Could not find answer in Apple forums and in forums they did suggest to turn here! I hope you can help me!
    Isabella: I understand that you are finding difficulties connecting device to Mac. Am I correct?
    Visitor: yes. but only to one specific Mac. as to others it connects without a problem.
    Isabella: Thank you for the details.
    Visitor: i think problem is in driver only i can't find how to manually remove from Mac
    Isabella: May I know the model number of your phone? To know the model number of the phone, please tap on Home>> Applications>> Settings>> About phone.
    Visitor: GT-I9100
    Isabella: Thank you for the model number.
    Isabella: However as you are able to connect the device to windows and Mini Mac then there is no issue with the device. This seems to be an issue with the Mac.
    Isabella: However we in Samsung US do not have the instructions on uninstalling drivers on Mac.
    Isabella: I request you to contact apple for support related to Mac.
    Visitor: Yess it is probably issue with drivers on that particular Mac. Might be you can guide me to location where Kies or phone driver is stored on mac? I then will try to manually delete is from system or replace from another machine
    Isabella: The model number you have provided is an international model and we do not have any information on the device you are referring to.
    Isabella: I would have surely provided you with the information if we had the information available with us.
    Visitor: If you don't know might be you could escalate to some higher level ?
    Isabella: It was a pleasure assisting you. Thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. If you have a minute, please click on the blue “X close” button to receive a transcript of your chat and fill out a brief survey to help us serve you better. Have a wonderful day!
    Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
    So i was terminated and left without answer. But i did not expect anything else from Samsung Support..
    So might be someone of you know where drivers are located? i could try to copy them from one machine to another manualy!!!

  • My review of X1 Carbon - Not very good...

    Well, I just got my X1 Carbon yesterday.  So far, not so good.
    I have i7 with 8GB of RAM, 256 SSD and WWAN.  Pretty much maxed out on the upgrades.
    1. The computer is litterally crooked.  When I place it on a hard flat surface (my kitchen counter), it doesn't lay flat.  There is about 1 mm gap below the front right rubber foot and the counter.  So every time I touch the trackpad, I get a click from the laptop tapping on the counter. Lovely.  This is annoying as hell.  Poor workmanship by Lenovo.
    2. USB 3.0 Dock is an absolute joke.  I am using the Targus ACP71USZ.  They are all the same, regardless of which model you buy, since they all use Displaylink technology.  On the m,onitors connected to the dock, the mouse responds with tiny delays, so it is very annoying and difficult to accurately point the mouse. Its bad with both HDMI and DVI.  HDMI is worse.  Ethernet, is pathetic.  I don't even get a 1mb download speed at speedtest.net.  Other computers on the same copnnection get over 20mb.  Ping was 800ms vs 5ms for other computers.  Absolutely pathetic.  Wifi gave me 7mb with 100ms ping.  Then I tried connecting the ethernet cable to the dongle that comes with the X1, directly to the X1, and not the dock.  I got 18mb and 5ms ping.  Much better, but this adds to the fact that the dock is a $200 peice of garbage. The only good way to use an external monitor is via the mini displayport on the X1 itself.  So basically here is my setup.  I have 2 external monitors.  One goes to the DVI on the dock.  Other to displayport on the X1.  Ethernet dongle on the USB of the X1, power cable on the X1, USB to connect the X1 to the dock.  I have to plug in 4 cables to the X1 just to dock it.  Kind of defeats the purpose of the dock, and its worse since the dock works like crap anyway.
    If I were to just use the X1 as a laptop, then it would be fine.  But this machine absolutely stinks when used with a dock.
    I am alrerady considering putting it on ebay.

    As for the T430s and the Series 3 dock I have, keep in mind it's the 135W dock I bought when I received the ThinkPad W510 for work.  The problem I see with my dock and the T430s is that the T430s doesn't remember the configuration and state.  So when I dock the notebook and boot it, it doesn't always display on the attached monitors.  Or it changes which monitor is the primary.  Or it displays only on one monitor at 800x600 resolution.
    In short, it is unpredictable and very frustrating. 
    I have seen enough reports from other ThinkPad Optimus based models in this generation to know it isn't just me.  There seems to be some issues with the chipset, drivers, and hardware integration.
    There were no such issues with the T420 or T420s.
    It is sad to see products take a step backward.  You always think and expect continual improvement from generation to generation but it simply isn't true.  You roll the dice each time.  

  • When ever I launch my safari, it will stay on for about a minute and then quits on me. It has a "safari quit unexpectedly" dialog box with a bunch of codes that I can send a report to apple. im not very good with this kind of thing, plz help!

    Im not very good at troubleshooting, but I have played around with the system preferences. My airport connection is fine as well as the ethernet. Firewall says its not connected, (im not sure if that matters or not?)
    I have subtracted my network from the list, restarted, and then put it back and and restarted...nothing seems to be working. Iam in the middle of a correspondace course and i really need my internet back...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • After creating a new slideshow I export it with the  setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not  as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • Why is playback video quality not as good as the source?

    Hi.  I'm not new to PrE but am new to the forum.
    I've been using PrE 2 for about 7 years.  I got a newer computer running Windows 7 and basically was forced to upgrade to PrE 12 because PrE 2 didn't run very well on the newer machine. Once I installed PrE 12, I was eager to jump into my first project on this machine.
    I expected that with a newer machine and the latest software, I would get outstanding results--hopefully much better than what I always got with PrE 2 on the old machine.  With PrE 2, it was not uncommon that the imported video seemed lossy on playback or for whatever other reason seemed not as good as the source video.
    Unfortunately, the results on the new/new were no better than the old/old.  So I switched to my wife's (even newer) machine running Windows 8 and got the same results.  Then I thought that perhaps the output to DVD would be better than what I saw in the PrE editor.  No dice.
    The video quality of the source isn't the greatest (see below), but I expected that the PrE 12 would be no worse.
    What went wrong?
    Here's what i'm working with on the current project:
    Machine 1:
    HP EliteBook 8560w
    Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8 GHz CPU
    Window 7 Enterprise SP1
    2 GB RAM
    360 GB available HD space
    Machine 2:
    Dell Inspiron 3521
    Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU
    Windows 8 Touchscreen
    4 GB RAM
    400+ GB available HD space
    Video Source:
    iPhone 4 video (MOV format)
    Thanks for ANY help you can give me.
    BTW, I noticed that Steve Grisetti is one of the frequent commenters on this forum.  In case you're reading this, Steve, I want to thank you and Chuck E. for your PrE books.  I purchased one several years ago and found it extremely helpful.  And surprisingly, I found that with PrE 12 I could still use the book that I purchased before because most of it was still relevant to the new software.  Still a great purchase!!

    Please excuse if I mention things you may already be aware of, but I did not want to take anything for granted.
    The installed RAM on Machine 1 is too low for HD work, and I wonder about the processor on Machine 2 even though it has more installed RAM than that on Machine 1. For now, I will bypass the usual drills and get to the source media and project settings.
    1. From what I can put together, your source media from iPhone 4 are 720p up to 30 frames per second. That usually translates into a variable frame rate which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. The variable can lead to audio out of sync, but not necessarily. If all else fails, then it is onto HandBrake or the like to change the variable into a constant frame rate.
    2. One of the features of version 11 and 12 is the program taking over the setting of the project setting based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Some times it does it OK, sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on what you know to be the properties of your source media. Please refer to the following which includes how to set the project preset manually.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
    Based on what I have read about the properties of the iPhone 4 video, I would suggest the project preset (assuming a NTSC set up)
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    AVCHD-LITE 720p30
    One of the important things to remember is that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have as their default project preset
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD1080i30
    and not the NTSC DV Standard of versions earlier than 11.
    When 11 and 12 do not get the automatic project preset correct, they do not give you the closest fit, rather they give you their
    default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is not going to be appropriate for 720p video.
    Classically it is written if you have the correct project preset you should have no colored line over the content when you bring the video to
    the Timeline manually set. But, just the variable frame rate can trigger the unrendered indicator (orange instead of red in versions 11 and 12).
    So, rendering the Timeline would be indicated to get the best possible preview under these circumstances.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on either of your computers?
    More later.

    It's possible it's that app that's the culprit.
    Try syncing your apps but deselect the box next to labyrinth 2 in iTunes. Or, delete the app directly from the iPad by holding down the app until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x, then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop all the icons from jiggling. You can always re sync the app using iTunes.
    Then restart the iPad.Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    See if the screen will rotate.
    If that doesn't help, try, "Reset All Settings".  General / Reset. Tap Reset All Settings. That resets preferences and settings to default but contacts, calendars, and media won't be effected.
