What did you guys use to take those screenshots?

[BroncoJoe]

Do you have an android?

[Thnikkaman]

Do you have an android?

Indeed. It's about to get replaced with a better android though.

[BroncoJoe]

volume down and power button simultaneously with ICS. Not sure if that works with the other OS versions.

[Thnikkaman]

My phone will be stuck on gingerbread, but I'm eligible for upgrade at the end of the month. I'm hoping I'll get to use a little bonus money for a Galaxy S III or something of that caliber.

[CoachChaz]

My upgrade date is Dec. 16. I still have the Galaxy S, so I'm definitely looking at the the Galaxy III for Christmas. I swear they only make phones to last 2 years. Mine is pissing me off quite frequently lately

I've got the same phone however mine is a referb. It randomly reboots, the wifi antenna sucks, and the internal memory on this thing is shite.

I'll be damned. It works. I meant to look up how to take a screenshot, but I kept forgetting.

I had an iPhone for roughly 3-4 years. My wife and I finally decided to break about from them and it's awesome. I got the Motorola Atrix HD and she got the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Her's was about $110 more than mine, but I feel like they are pretty much the same.

The first thing I do when I get a new phone is buy an extended battery. Even an 1800 mAh battery makes a ton of difference.

What did you guys use to take those screenshots?

When you get the "next big thing" the S3, all you do is swipe the edge of your palm from the right edge to left edge of the screen and it creates a 1280x720 screenshot image in your gallery.

I've had mine since they launched. I am as happy with it now as then. Huge, clear screen. Good battery life (very good using Juice defender).

Couldn't be happier.

[BroncoJoe]

Mine is a bit older - the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I am really happy with it. Have 12 months before I can upgrade again...

[BroncoJoe]

Hey T - do you use the free JuiceDefender or the pay version?

[NightTrainLayne]

Hey T - do you use the free JuiceDefender or the pay version?

I use the pay version of Juice Defender on my Thunderbolt. I think it's worth it. You just have to customize it for it to provide even more battery life, which takes a little time.

Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

App killers don't really save battery life. But for lack of a better word, yes, it's like an app killer.

The Android system uses RAM much differently than a computer does. App killers are based on the notion that Android RAM is used like a computers RAM, and it's not. So they often do more harm than good.

http://www.androidpit.com/do-task-killers-work

Juice Defender actually manages your battery usage. Turning on and off 4g/3G radios, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc, and managing apps usage and access to those radios, and screen brightness in order to preserve actual battery life, instead of uselessly trying to "free up" RAM by killing apps.

Gotcha. Do android phones not have auto brightness for the screen? I know the brighter it gets the more juice it sucks.

[BroncoJoe]

It has auto set for brightness - but you can also download different apps that adjust to your liking.

[Davii]

Yes. Moreso than the screen these manage everything else. For instance, if I didn't turn off gps after arriving somewhere the juice defender would notice after a bit and shut it down. Or maybe I'm connected to wifi but for syringe reason still have the 4g antenna on, it would shut it down until I turn it back on or leave the WiFi.

On some phones.... I personally haven't dropped below 65% charge yet and that was after more than 24 hrs without being plugged in. Many tests have found the S3 and the new nexus to have a better battery life than the iPhone 4s or 5. And let's not even discuss the map issue... Apple made a Microsoft type move and screwed their entire fanboi customer base out of a better experience there.

[NightTrainLayne]

So, all this talk of phones prompted me to check when I'm eligible for an upgrade. . .

Lo and behold, I'm eligible Dec. 7.

So, what should I be getting? I probably won't do anything immediately, so are there any new phones on the horizon of coming out?

[Thnikkaman]

Something I didn't understand about the commercial, wouldn't the thing where you bump Galaxy phones together to exchange information be the same as the iPhone Bump app?

[Davii]

Something I didn't understand about the commercial, wouldn't the thing where you bump Galaxy phones together to exchange information be the same as the iPhone Bump app?

No. The bump app has nothing to do with near field communications. The bump app, which is on both iphone and android, sends contact info and other small bits by sms or mms if i remember correctly. Newer versions can send pics over the internet but takes time, requires the application on both phones, pins, requests, etc, and utilize data services so it counts against those of you that have data limits.

Think of NFC more like an auto pair Bluetooth file transfer of sorts. The phones send the data between each other, no cell tower etc needed, so it doesn't count against you. I can even send an app to someone's phone, or load directions on Google maps and shoot them to my nexus 7 tablet, etc.

NFC is used for a lot more than sharing photos, the possibilities are huge. For instance, I went to the grocery store last night, when I was at the register I held my phone near the pay pass, entered my pin on my phone and received the receipt on my phone.

NFC is growing in popularity and usefulness quickly. Apple does not have NFC on the new iPhone but does plan it for the next model.

Check out nearfieldcommunication.org to learn more, it's pretty cool to think of the uses for it.

What all devices does it work on? My wife has the Galaxy S3, but can I do it on my Motorola Atrix? I'll keep trying to look it up. I was just wondering if you or someone already knew from personal experience.

My upgrade is today. I may have to suck it up and do the Walmart deal to get the Galaxy S III. The $100 gift card may be too much to pass up. If I do the buyback with my old phone, I'll pretty much be getting the phone for $25.
