what are the advantages of Swiftkey vs. the stock keyyboard? I've tried both and for some reason i can type more efficiently with the stock one.

Also, you can customize the look/layout/spacing/ with SK, which helps some people.
If typing with two hands, I'm fairly quick/sloppy but SK seems to still know what the heck I'm trying to say. Stock couldn't keep up at all.
I got it on sale during their 10 day sale thingy earlier this year. But I would've paid full price if I wasn't already using Swype  | |

Thanks in advance! | There shouldn't be a special setting. Are you completely stock? If your actual phone settings are set correctly (and your phone isn't on vibrate/mute), then check your messaging app options- I know handcent will allow you to change sounds in the app independent of the phone's settings.

The worst culprit is stuff like sand- small enough to sneak into your pockets without you noticing, but that shit wreaks havoc on your phone screen.
On another note- has anyone received a "Call not allowed by SIM" message when trying to make a call? There's only one thread on XDA about it and apparently it's a known issue for i747s. I was wondering if anyone else on RS got the message. (In case you do, the fix is to toggle Flight Mode on/off)

I'm surprised some of you are reluctant to spend the extra $10 on a screen protector.
Especially for a top of the line device.

My friend just got a S3 and she's annoyed about the "Emergency Dialling (Dialing)" spelling error. Is the software update to fix that out yet?  | |

thanks | Goto the specific app and hit settings there. Seems there is individual volume and notification options for each app.
The battery on this thing is killing me, and this is just moderate usage and most things turned down.

For a real glass protector you can only get them online. The only ones you'll find locally are the Zagg Invisibleshield HD ones. I haven't used these ones before so I can't vouch what they look or feel like.
