Hasta La Gadget!

There are people over at XDA Developers who have given the Samsung Galaxy S3 more love than usual, having discovered a method that allows one to root the Samsung Galaxy S3 in a relatively painless method. Bear in mind that the Samsung Galaxy S3 model that we are talking about here is the SGH-T999 model from T-Mobile, so proceed with caution and make sure you have the right model on hand as well.

Before you continue, here is a quick primer on what rooting is all about. When you root your smartphone or tablet, it will then enable you to make changes, access system files, perform overclocking, as well as launch apps which require root access, in addition to performing far more customizations on your handset compared to the vanilla version of Android.

To date, there were no reports of bugs and issues, so you can most probably heave a sigh of relief if you were to follow the instructions here as you root your Samsung Galaxy S3.

If you happen to live in South Korea and are still mulling over whether you want to pick up the Samsung Galaxy S3, be prepared to bring one home when July 9th rolls around on your calendar, as this particular model will be running on a quad-core Exynos processor and will have LTE connectivity. This is slightly different from the ones available in the US, as those available Stateside are powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor.

I guess that the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE model is the only one in the world that will merge both the quad-core Exynos processor that is found in the international model, alongside high speed data, where both “parties” will converge in a marriage of convenience this July 9th. The three carriers indicated by Samsung are SK Telecom, KT and LG U+. The battery maintains a 2,100 mAH charge, coupled with 2GB RAM and DMB TV tuning capability. No idea on whether anyone is going to import this particular model or not, but we do hope to see someone do something about the situation.

So you have the Samsung Galaxy S3 as your favorite new smartphone, and just exactly what have you done with it – other than to show it off to the rest of your mates? Enter the S Health personal wellness app which is capable of collecting health data of the smartphone owner in order to help you live out a healthier lifestyle. I guess this would mean it is most effective if you are not exactly big on health at this point in your life, where the application itself is compatible with a range of healthcare sensors including blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors and body composition scales. All your health measurements will be sent automatically to the Galaxy S3 over a Bluetooth or USB connection. (more…)

Don’t you think it makes sense for the latest, most powerful Android-powered smartphone from Samsung to feature the latest operating system version from Google? Many people think so, too, and after having an unofficial ROM ported over the Galaxy Nexus, here we are with an unofficial port of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean port for the Samsung Galaxy S3. This applies for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, although there are a fair number of features that do not work – such as Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and NFC support, the audio system, a camera tha fails to snap photos, and inability to detect the internal storage space. Would you be willing to sacrifice all of that for a premature taste of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean before the official version arrives? There really isn’t any point in installing it though for all practical intents and purposes, but if you are curious enough, then go ahead.
