Yes, you can.QUESTION:
If I buy microSDHC card for my phone, can I then move files from PC to said card that is in my phone?(Bought Case Mate tought and don't want to always remove it)
I don't care if it will take longer by not having it directly in the adapter and memory card slot.
Yes, you can.
Please do share
Can you post some links here or PM them to me?
So I'm in the market for a new phone after switching over to Verizon from AT&T, is the S3 still the best option out there?

If you're out of contract, Nexus 4 is a great choice. If you don't mind signing for a 2 year agreement, I'd recommend the GS3 for the add on storage options, and LTE.
I wanted to go with the Nexus 4 even without the LTE, but the AT&T service in my area is absolutely useless. I literally cannot call people within a 2 or 3 mile radius of my house, so it's time for a switch.
Stupid Verizon using CDMA / stupid google for not making a CDMA Nexus 4
Oh yeah, thats right. Well, in that case, I'd recommend either the GS3 or the Note II.
Where the fuck is my Jelly Bean? Come on T-Mobile, get it together. (I mostly want Google Now)
Is it safe to assume that if you don't care about the whole pen aspect of the Note II that the S3 is the better choice? In other words, are all other things equal?
I'll definitely have to try that out, but jesus that's almost certainly way too big for a phone.
Personally, I have the GS3, and I think its the best smartphone I've ever owned. I've owned iPhones since the original model up to the 4S. GS3 is an incredible piece of hardware.
As you said, screen size for one. Other pluses for me are:
-Customization. Don't like Touchwiz? Just install CM10. Rooting is easy, and you can make your user experience exactly how you want it.
-Camera options. Granted, the iPhone 5 has taken massive leaps to gain even ground, but when I got the GS3, Panoramic photos were great. As were the quick shutter shots for moving images, and more options for regular photo taking. I pretty much rely on my smartphone as my camera, so these options were important to me at the time.
-Removable battery. Have I ever had an issue with a dead battery? Nope, but having the option to not only replace the existing battery, but also the ability to install a larger battery if needed.
-Expandable storage. I had a 64GB iPhone 4S, and I had that pretty much filled up. I like having my music on the go at any time. With my GS3, I have the ability to load an SD card and have all of my music there, and the internal storage for everything else.
This, plus some other features, including the motion settings, made me extremely happy with my switch to my first Droid.
What issues are you having with your phone? Maybe this thread can help you out and give you a better experience?
What makes you say that? Coming from an iPhone 3GS to this, it's been almost nothing but disappointment for me. The only redeeming factor has been the screen size which was the primary reason why I switched anyway.
Yep, and I think the GS3's form factor is perfect. The 4.8" screen really pops, and I actually like Touchwiz, though a lot of people aren't fond of it.
You know, I realized I wrote off the motion stuff immediately without trying any of them. lol
Some of it is gimmicky and not worth the hassle of ever getting used to (PAN TO ZOOM) but some of it just makes so much sense.

Seems like my poor battery performance was caused by a dying micro SD card, kept un-mounting and Re Mounting causing the phone to constantly scan it's contents. Removed it for the day and got my excellent battery life back.
Sucks that I now have to go buy another micro SD card though
So what's all this news today about the S III taking the throne as number one smartphone?

Is this another quarter of sales or is this old news?
Is there a certain web browser that will load gifs well, or is that just something the S3 isn't very good at? Half the time the gif won't animate, and if it does, it's extremely choppy.
Tried Firefox? I have had no problems on the Note II.

I'm the opposite. I don't miss my 3GS one bit and I was pretty invested in the app store too!
I live in the UK and been offered a 2 week old SG3 for a great price but it was an upgrade.
Will samsung still honour the warranty if it develops a fault?
Yes, the manufacturers warranty will still be in effect.

Regarding stock Verizon, is there a guide somewhere to optimize my battery life?
I love the phone but dang, the battery life shouldn't be this bad.
I did this switch after the iPhone 5 was announced. Like you, I've been using an iPhone since the first iteration -- in fact, I've owned every iteration, "s" or otherwise. The switch was pretty painless for me; though I own a Macbook Air, I don't make use of the Contacts app on OSX often and it's an easy process getting your contacts from OSX into Google. For music, I used the Google Play Music Manager to upload all of my music to Google Play, which you can upload 20,000 songs to for free. The Manager can actually monitor your iTunes library and upload songs for you automatically. You will lose the granularity of the five star rating system, but songs 4 stars and above are treated as a "Thumbs Up" in Google Play which is good enough for me. I'm not sure what other parts of the iTunes syncing process you like; I didn't hate iTunes syncing like most people do but I was pretty indifferent about the whole thing otherwise. For photos, I have the Dropbox app installed on my phone which automatically uploads photos as you take them. Then on my Macbook Air, I have an AppleScript that checks the Dropbox folder and imports any new photos into my iPhoto library automatically.Any of you recently make the switch from iPhone to Android? My girlfriend and I tired with our iPhones, but we're both having trouble breaking the habit (I've had an iPhone since its first iteration). There are some things that worry me, mostly due to convenience: I have an MBA, so iCloud stuff (notes, contacts, etc.) all work so conveniently for me. I also like using iTunes to sync music, and I'm not entirely sure how one goes about doing this on Android.
Am I missing anything? Are my problems easily mitigated?
edit: I don't care about apps, really--I don't have much beyond those available on all platforms.
