How to set personal messaging ringtone for Samsung Galaxy s3?

samsung galaxy s3 image

Mariah Vin

Okay so I have a samsung galaxy s3 and i wanna set my music ringtone so when people text me , I can hear the song i want. HELP!

Answer
You either have a Galaxy S or an S2. Samsung only gave out a release date of early May for the long awaited release of theS3 earlier this week:

http://m.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date-news-and-rumours-1051525

Anyway, on an Android phone it's in Menu> Settings> Sound> Notifications (the menu items may have different but similar names such as "Notification Ringtone") then, probably at the bottom of the list of Samsung ones, there will be a link to your music library. That will set the default notification sound for all your texts and emails. For individual people in your phone book go into your contact list, choose an entry and edit it either by pressing Menu> Edit, or an onscreen edit button if there is one, then you can scroll down to the option to allocate them their own Ringtone.
The best way to learn this stuff is to go slow, look around and read everything carefully. There's usually lots of available options to be found by pressing that Menu button in whichever app or phone screen you are in. I dunno how iOS users with iphones manage without one actually.

How do I prevent my Samsung Galaxy S3 from disabling mobile data, when it goes into sleepy mode?

Christian

I use my Samsung Galaxy S3 as a mobile wireless hotspot for my laptop. The problem is, when the phone goes to sleepy mode, it disables the mobile data, therefore I lose the connection to the internet on my laptop? How do I keep the mobile data active even though the phone goes to sleepy mode? Thanks.

Answer
Keep it from going into sleepy mode, by setting the screen timeout to the longest setting, and touching the screen once in a while. Keep it plugged in so the battery doesn't run out. If you need mobile data on your laptop that much, maybe you should get a 3g or 4g adapter instead of using the phone.

Vanessa

I have a MacbookPro obviously with iTunes which has all my music. I just got the Galaxy SIII after being a long time iPhone user which was an easy plug and sync process so I am totally new to this Android stuff.
I already tried Google PLay which is taking FOREVER but i want my music to the actual music player on the phone, not just Google Play.
I heard there was some free app/widget you can get to sync all your stuff? I don't know please help.

Oh and I don't care if its wireless or not. I know some people care. I don't.
Please help! Thanks!

Answer
Get rid of iTunes, & you will be able to just copy & paste.

Should I buy an HTC 8X for Verizon or keep my Galaxy SIII?

Ronnie

I currently have a Verizon Galaxy SIII. It's white, the 16GB model with a 32GB SD card. I am really wanting to switch from Android to the elegant Windows Phone 8 device. The 8X has amazing curb appeal, but would it really be worth switching? I would sell the GS3 on eBay for a ~$400+ profit guaranteed, so I would be paying around $150, if not less. I don't have an upgrade on my account. I want real answers, and nobody say, "BUY AN IPHONE, THEY'RE SO COOL." I don't want an iPhone. This is between two phones. I want a great user experience, camera, speed, battery life, and looks. Thanks!

Answer
Trust me, if you get the HTC Windows Phone 8X, you're actually downgrading phones. Why do I say this?

User experience on the Windows Phone 8X leaves much to be desired. The live tiles sound awesome, but you're actually not doing much on it that you can't do on Android (the OS that the Galaxy S III runs). The Galaxy S III allows you to change launchers (if you don't like the way the Touchwiz interface looks) and make it look different from the stock launcher.

Camera on both phones are pretty much on par with each other (HTC gives too much hype on their image sense technology, which isn't really that great to begin with).

Speed is pretty much on par with each other (since they both have the same processors). The 8X is just a tad hair smoother because it doesn't have as many graphical components that the S III has.

The Galaxy S III has better battery life than the 8X though (and if you want more on the S III, you can just buy an extended battery and make it even better). The 8X has a nonremovable battery, so you're stuck with that battery until your contract ends.

The only thing that the 8X probably has that's better than the S III is build quality. Feels more secure in the hand and looks like it can take a better drop than the S III.

I know you didn't ask this, but I'm going to go over it anyways. App support is key to success for a mobile OS. Android has hundreds of thousands of apps available to download. Many of which are FREE to download. Windows Phone however, doesn't have even close to the amount Android has (about 100000 vs Android's 700000+ apps).

Is that enough of an explanation for you? Most people I know either have iPhones or Galaxy S IIIs anyways. I don't see anyone having the Windows Phone 8X so that should also show how popular the Galaxy S III is compared to the 8X. Just keep your Galaxy S III and move on. Hope this helped.

What is the Samsung galaxy s3 wireless charging and how dose it work and is it unclouded in the original box ?

galaxy s3 image

Basem

I want to buy the galaxy S3 but I am wondering if it is real that it can charge it self wirelessly I mean : I put a something in the power jack and without a wire my phone starts charging , and does I have
To Buy an extra accessory to charge it wirelessly , and finally please if someone have a video link of how wireless charging works it will be better Regards .

Answer
Hey, The galaxy s3 does not include wireless charging out of the box. It is an official accessory to be sold separately. It is also said to be delayed until september. How it works is you have a two smart coils - one in the charger and another in the device that is getting charged. The primary coil creates a very small electromagnetic field around the charger. The secondary coil, which is in the phone, receives the power from electromagnetic field and converts it back into electric current to feed it into the battery. This is called inductive charging.
This youtube video also explains it quite well in the beginning.

How do I connect a samsung galaxy s3 to my tv?

I want to connect my smartphone to my tv so I can browse the internet and play games on the big hd tv versus the small galaxy s3. I know the samsung galaxy s3 is a big smartphone but I would like to play video game apps from the smartphone on the lg hd tv.
I didn't try it but I know it's possible. I connected it to my PS3 but it can only play videos, photos, and music from the s3. I want to be able to see what is on the smartphone on the tv. Is it with a cable or can it be done wirelessly? I don't know how but I heard it is possible.

Answer
You can do that.cool i have a samsung galaxy s3 too.i'm not sure how to connect the phone to a hd tv.
maybe need a plug to connect the phone to the tv,i just got my phone recently.so i haven't tried that yet..

How do I completely reset my galaxy s3?

galaxy s3 image

Michael Kn

I just bought a galaxy s3 from craigslist, but it's running on stock android. I want it to run on touchwiz. I have tried to factory reset the device through the settings. I have also tried to factory reset the phone using the physical keys, but the stock android remains. HELP!

Answer
Heh, it's rare to see one that prefers touchwiz today. Well, that's great, I actually prefer touchwiz, too (some of the developers also agree).

It most likely has stock android because it is rooted (you probably already knew that), by the way I prefer not having touchwiz on the S3 because you don't gain as many benefits as having touchwiz on the Galaxy note 2 (gives you the ability to use the S-pen).

I suggest you look around the xda-developers forum, I can provide a link in the source, and since it has stock Android it is probably already rooted and has a recovery for flashing ROMs (modified OS for performance and other tweaks/mods, some relating to security upgrades and stuff). I'm not sure what carrier that Galaxy S3 has but since it's probably rooted, it is also probably unlocked too. I provide a general Galaxy S3 android development area in my source, however... well... yeah... you probably have a different carrier. IF NOT, then this thread will just work, you can contact me via e-mail or google chat via ichigoyeh@gmail.com or google+ and I can help you.

EDIT: By the way I'm currently looking at the ROMs available there and will update this post with one with touchwiz, you can provide more information in your question by editing but hey. Also it's best if you don't paste your phone number here so I could help you via that, too. By the way are you by chance looking for a mobile carrier? As I know one that you might be interested in that is prepaid and works under the T-mobile network, however requires a referral ($49 for unlimited talk, text, data, and also has benefits that allow you to save but you'll have to be interested for more details).

UPDATE: The classic Omega ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656 should fit your bill. Performance enhancements and mods and tweaks that are only beneficial, with no bugs, all on top of Touchwiz. Please go to settings>about phone and check your baseband and model (for example for the model number it could be something like i9250XXDLLJJ or i9300t889), post it in your question or e-mail me (could give phone number so I could call you and help live, as this might take much longer).

Should i get the 4th or 5th generation ipod, iphone, pr SAmsunh Galaxy SIII?

Chrisvelle

Hey you guys I have 1st generation ipod touch and im planning on getting an upgrade since having such an old ipod really restricts me from being able to play the games i want. Do you guys think that i should get the 4th or 5th generation ipods or just forget about thosw and just get an iphone or Samsung Galaxy SIII phone instead. So which ine out of the fourshould i pick? 5th generation, 4th generation, iphone, or Samsung Galaxy SIII

Answer
More than is often the case, the battle between the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 is the very definition of the case between iOS and Android, between Apple and Google. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is more flexible, with expandable memory and a more malleable OS. Only the metal body of Apple's phone feels a bit more better. And with the larger 4in screen, it won't feel quite so tiny next to the Samsung Galaxy S3, either.
Verdict:
Galaxys S3 is the better choice.
