mines slow as well. It was faster having it straight through the outlet, but hey, it's a dock. I use it to charge over night only on my stand. Kinda nice that samsung has accessory options where the phone changes to a "dock" mode and everything is very nicely accessible from your bed side

Try going to setting, more settings, mobile networks, access point names, then hit the menu key, and "restore defaults".

If this still doesnt work, then call Rogers and talk to the tech support department, ask them to "reset" your services.

If it STILL doesnt work, then you're just

thanks lol. I called Roger's earlier and the CSR reset the appropriate "services" I guess and then sent me a test message. I got it, and figured all was good. After that I am still not getting texts from my gf who has an iphone. I have however been able to get texts from a bb and galaxy s2.

Not necessarily a bad thing to not receive texts from the gf but I'm afraid it could be an iphone/imessage thing maybe..

hey guys, quick question: if i buy a bnib s3 from rogers, will i need to get it unlocked for use with fido? i ask because with the iP4s i sold, the phone only locked once a sim card was put in. IE, it was a bnib fido phone and i sold it to a rogers customer. I'm just curious if this is also the case with this phone.

thanks in advance!

In case anyone cares I was right, I had accidentally left my old iphone's wifi on (that is now my ipod in my car) and it was connected while my car was parked at home, receiving any texts from my iphone friends as imessages. Weird

I've been running Nova for a few days and not seeing that sort of battery usage. Perhaps Better Battery Stats can provide more insight?

If you don't like the look and feel of AOSP then it's probably not for you.

I've never used AOSP, but coming from TW, it's night and day what you can do with Nova. Even resizing widgets alone is worth the trouble of reorganizing your launcher (though Nova made that a ton easier by importing my TW settings).

If I could incorporate S-Planner and Weather widget over to Nova would be awesome.
