My case/screen protectors arrived on august 8, a full 3 weeks from when they were shipped, with that said it come on the first day of expected delivery. ETA was August 8-15....the case i recieved has minor cracks in it above the cutouts for the camera-flash-speaker. Kind of like what ever machine was used to do the cutting used too much pressure or too dull blades, therefore it kind of caused cracks to appear. But fortunately my s3 is white so you can't really see them unless you look super close

I've had wireless issues for a while now, but i played with some router setting and it still isn't fixed. I know its because of the phone, all my devices work perfectly.

few others on XDA also have problem with this issue

I figured I'd bump with some info that might be of some use.

I recently unlocked my SGS3 with cellunlock.net (note: not cellunlockER), and with one of their many coupon codes it only came up to about 8 bucks (compared to 15 with cellunlocker). I used crackb50 lol

It took 4 days to get the code, but it worked.

YES YES YES YES YES

Can't wait for Project Butter and GoogleNow!

Although will there be a lag time for mobile service providers to release this?

Probably, though lately it seems as though Rogers is quick to send it out to their users (when compared to the others and especially compared to AT&T)

I'm all for speed enhancements. Can't wait!

Not if you're keeping it stock.

If you're rooting/flashing, I suggest reading XDA thoroughly to prevent any miscues, such as losing your IMEI or tripping a so-called "flash counter".

It's a great phone- takes a bit of time to adjust from iOS, but nothing major.

Is there anyway to change how you take calls? I find that swiping the green incoming phone icon is a bit sluggish at times.

I think Google keeps a backup of your apps periodically. I know when I moved from my Captivate to my S3, it started downloading pretty much all the apps I had downloaded/installed in the last 3-4 months.

As for configuration, there really isn't anything aside from Nandroid backups if you want to keep the phone as it was prior to malfunctioning. Not sure if this is the case still, but when restoring using TiBU (assuming your gf's phone is rooted), you never restored system preferences as that could cause problems. But like I said, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

I think you have to turn on the backup feature when you first use your phone but I'm not sure. I just use Titanium.

Yeah during the initial setup there was a question asking "if i wanted to restore my apps and preferences". I didn't know that meant install every app that I every bought from Play
