Re: Samsung Galaxy S3

Your network must have disabled it then

Mine is an unlocked handset.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3

Must have been the early days then, last May when I was looking around to buy my S2 O2 told me it would be unbranded and unlocked - but I ended up getting it from an independent anyway. S3 was also through an independent (CPW) though it is rooted and slightly modified

Wait until you get Jellybean on it

Galaxy Nexus zooms, so i would expect S3 to be a rocket

Manual brightness control?

I use an app called Lux to override the built-in auto brightness anyway

Change the auto brightness in the settings in the video player.
