The One X has a much better screen but dreadful battery life (unless you leave it idle all the time, at which point it outlasts the S3 by a factor of 3, but who gets a Â£500 smartphone to leave it idle all the time?). Also a generally all-round better user interface, though the hardware performance, other than the screen, isn't quite as good.

Also not sure about an LG phone.

Ordered the blue GS3 yesterday, looking forward to getting it now, although i had to phone EE for a micro sim, so i hope that comes quickly as well as a leather pouch for it.

Am i right in thinking Jelly Bean is officially available for it now?

Well, it is on Voda...

SnoopZ · 08-12-2012, 16:59

I think the phone comes unlocked so hopefully it will be for me too.

I had a very simular issue when using it on Windows 8. In the end i had to take the card out and use it in a card reader

I've got files in internal memory also, for an all singing phone there are some basic issues you just dont get on others, stick with what works , the usb connection has been a bugbear from release. phone works on kies but tomtom and hanbase it cannot find phone.

I dont like Kies. I find it too hard and complicated to use

When I plugged in my S3 to usb, the sd card appeared as another drive letter. Installing the S3 drivers will give you more options though. They tend to hide the drivers on their site though, so they can get you to install Kies.

If you have a wireless network then you can transfer things without using the usb. Airdriod on the phone lets you use a browser to do lots of stuff with a nice interface. For simply moving files I use EFS File explorer on the phone which connects to a windows share to copy/paste.

Googling on the fault it now says my phone should be rooted, why does this make a difference, what is rooted, why is mine unrooted surely all phones are the same S3 that is. Busybox is another name thrown into the equation, all this crap just to get a usb sync because it now has mtp.
