Samsung Galaxy S3

Yeah, you might as well leave it alone then.

The most useful ones I find are Titanium Backup, Droidwall (firewall) and OpenVPN but the latter two aren't so necessary anymore since Android itself has improved.

I usually only tweak the CPU down anyway to save battery which is totally safe.

Adblock?

Just been speaking to an advisor over a problem with my DD that Virgin have caused. He has offered me an upgrade now on my phone. Its due in October anyway. I'm tempted by the S3 but he said it was meant to be the 25th June that it was coming out but it has been delayed due to problems with the micro sim Virgin is having. He checked with someone and was told an extra 30 days wait for the S3.

I'm tempted by 4 phones

Galaxy S3
Galaxy S2 I have 2 contracts with Virgin and have the S2 on my other contract and love it.
HTC One X
Iphone 4S (4th Choice)

The phone will be used by my partner and decided to hang on until they are released to change because the S2 has to come down in price and the One X and S3 have to be out to change. He did say the usual that the Iphone is coming to Virgin but will mostly likely be next year. Heard that when I changed 2 years ago.

Phones4U are offering me cashback that would give any of the phones now and buy out the remaining months with Virgin but it means moving networks and the house phone can ring the mobile free of charge, which I think is a major plus to stay with Virgin Mobile.

So its a case of having some patience and waiting until the phones are released.

Yeah I have heard it has been delayed I might just go for the HTC one X

[qasdfdsaq]

Meh, I have the One X and find that other than the screen and wifi signal strength, it's inferior to the S3 in just about every other way.

there is a CF root with CWM that does not even change the kernal for this device. There is also a program that deletes the counter warning you get so no one would know if you flashed it back to stock that its been messed with

Anyone know how i can play m4v videos? I have a few triple play Blu Ray films and got the digital content from iTunes using the code on the disk but S3 doesnt play m4v. I have tried converters but because its DRM protected they wont convert or if they do its just a grey screen. I want to be able to play the videos on my S3

Out of intrest just how bad is your battery?
On a stock ROM I can get around 36 hours light/med usage & on stock ROM + Siyah over 48hrs with my usage pattern.

Try MX Player or VPlayer (both free)

Have a look at this for getting sky go to work win a s3 or HOX its supposed to block the root / unsupported being reported to the sky go app. Not tried it on my HOX but there are reports of it working

I used a similar one for my jailbreak iPad.
