New Phone

[Runningwolf]

I've been playing with my new phone all day that I got last night. It is a samsung 3. What a pain putting in all the emails, sounds and alerts all back in. It is much better than my old verizon though.

Connect new iPhone to computer that old iPhone was backed up on, press sync ----> DONE

New phone now a clone of the old phone.

Thats the Galaxy S3 right Dan? I almost got that but heard the screen isnt as bright as the S2 which I just got rid of and instead got myself the Note. Yes its very bog but I need that as my eyes arent that good and trying to play around in the admin panel I need to have a big screen. Plus I love the 2400 or 2500 battery, it lasts me all day even listening to music all day and using web in the morning, at lunch, and then sometimes I go fishing right from work and the S2 would typically need a charge on the way to fishing. This probably has the biggest battery out of all the phones out there.

Version should have offered to transfer ur apps and email to your new phone. Didn't they offer that to you?

 

[Deezil]

Some attach, some dont.... Ask me how i know

Julie they said they can't do the apps but funny thing, on the way home they all went over. The email would have been fine except I use Outlook for one of the and my server is my cable company and it's really screwy. I can recive my mail on outlook but everything has to be sent out through gmail. So I had to mess with all the settings. I went through this with the last phone also, it has something to do with my cable company (server). I think I will slowly switch totally over to gmail but I really do love outlook.

Well that really sucks. Dose your phone by chance offer an iCloud account? I have an iPhone and everything on my iPhone is backup on N iCloud account

Now you're stooping down to the level of that guy out in NM.

Hey Dan, I got the S3 friday. I had backed up my pictures and stuff to my computer beforehand. They transferred my contacts and stuff at the store. I used the Kies air app that was on the phone to connect to the phone through my network to transfer some other things to the phone, it's a nice app from Samsung. My wife washed her phone while talking and washed her hands so I went ahead and upgraded also.

Lol sorry but you know I have to have at least on fault!!!!

That Kies is very slow to open though isnt or is it just slow for me? To open pics or music it seems like its frozen but eventually it shows up. I do love my new Note though. After getting rid of the S2 I went with LG's best phone but didnt like it so switched to to Note which is almost exactly like the S2 so setting it up exactly the same was a breeze.

Kies was fast for me but I use Linux instesd of Windows .

You telling me Samsunk doesn't have cloud based backup storage system for their phones yet?

They stolen/pilfered everything else from Apple wonder why not.......

Actually everything did end up transfering out almost. About 97% of it. I was surprised.

I have heard that most of Apple's ideas are not of their own originality.
Most of their features are borrowed and then patented.
They didn't invent the touch screen phone did they?

I have an iphone and a Samsung S3
I like them both but the Samsung has most of the same features if not some better ones. If an iphone is all that you are used to you need to learn how to use them because they work slightly differently. Also the Samsung has upgradeable memory, you can replace the battery, the apps are mostly free, the screen is better etc...

 

[Wade E]

That sounds like a phone ***** slap!!! LOL> I like both phones and Apple is way easier to figure out if youve never used a phone but its size is a turn off to me.

I love my iPhone 4S, and Siri is great.

 

[oldwhiskers]

Well I figured out how to take a screen shot of the phone.

I just got an S3 last friday. I change from my reliable Windows 7.5 phone. ONLY reason I switched was for my car and some business software I have. Windows doesn't have the apps.... It was an S3 or an iPhone. I was told my new car works better with the S3 and I HATE iTunes.
So far the S3 is great! Everytime I use it I discover something new - motions, swipes, etc.

Besides the WMT app, anyone have a recommended Droid apps?
