I assume it's going to be the S4 but bigger but this is samsung, I also assumed the mini would be the same thing but smaller. But bigger usually means more premium according to samsung logic is it's possible.

I get the feeling Samsung just looks at whatever parts are left over in their current supply chain, throw those together, and the next random non-flagship Galaxy is born.

What's the best way to stream movies from my Windows Media Player to a Nexus 7?
My HTC EVO 4G has this functionality built in, but I'd love to stream to the bigger screen.

Vic Gundotra says something will happen today. I'm guessing the new G+ app for Android.

So Amazon has the AT&T variant of the HTC One on sale for both new ans existing customers. It's $130 for the base 32 gig model on contact.
Is Google really going to play Marissa Mayer like that? Today is her day!
So I've pretty much been all iOS all the time. I got the iPhone a week after launch. iPad the weekend it hit and have been using iOS a lot. Well now my iPhone is busted and I'm tired of this small screen for my phone. I've got a Galaxy S3 coming in the mail tomorrow. Any pro tips?
Turn off "bloop bloop."
Give it a chance. I have seen tons of iOS vs. Android threads where the Apple guys say they tried an Android phone for a week and hated it so they went back to the iPhone. If you expect it to work just like an iPhone, you're going to be disappointed. Learn to use some of the things that set Android apart (being able to set default programs, easily share content between apps, etc.) and give it a fair shake.
Root and flash CM 10.1. Never look back.

It actually looks better than the OG S4

Change the front buttons and it would be a really good looking phone.

I'm going to be hated on by certain posters here, but you should not have gotten a TouchWiz device such as the GS3. The visual style Samsung applies to their devices is so disjointed and unappealing that it might be frustrating to use after years of iOS experience where the design is meticulously curated. Google's version of Android is a much sleeker and more cohesive design, and a more pleasant experience, than Samsung's, and the difference gets more staggering every day.
I might even suggest returning it and getting a Nexus 4.
Or if you want to keep it, and you're tech-savvy, hit up the XDA forums and apply a ROM like LiquidSmooth or CM10.1.
PM me if you need detailed help. I've done it on two or three GS3s (Verizon variant). If you choose to, do it before you put any data on your phone or take any time setting it up.

You definitely don't need to be tech savvy to get CM 10.1 on the S3. Their install guide is very simple to follow and takes less than 15 minutes. I'd rather spend a few minutes on that than deal with the N4's cons for a year or two.

Have you done it on the Verizon version? Unlocking the bootloader requires some experience.

I like it! Doing something good with Google Voice is just... Unprecedented. It's been the same thing since its initial release, basically. It's a Google product I rely on immensely.
All that's missing now is SMS integration.
Oh and contact sorting, but I'll take SMS first.
Whatever, Google is going to cancel Google voice next.

Alright, awesome. Now I know Google Voice won't ever be cancelled since it came from Pctx.

Pctx = Pachter?
i agree. The best thing about the Nexus program with GV is that you can port your main number to GV and then change providers on a whim and never have to worry about your number. Its lack of MMS support and halfassed integration into Android leaves a lot to be desired, so it would be nice for it to roll into Hangouts

Yep, did it right out of the box with zero prior Android experience. The instructions on the CM site are crystal clear.
Looks like the droid charge 2

Sammy has been really good to the S3 in my opinion.
