Tegis Posted August 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2012 I can't seem to view flash videos? Any idea why? Are you using chrome? It's not supported in it. Only the stock browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Download flash and use stock browser and it'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Flash got removed from the Android marketplace last week I think. We are certainly past the date when Adobe said they will continue to support mobile Flash. You can still find the .apk if you search for it on the internet (.apk is essentially the Android equivalent of .exe if you were wondering) and as long as you allow apps to be installed from unknown sources on your phone then it will work. One of the areas where Android definitely beats the shit out of iOS. **edit** Dont say I never do anything for you. Mobile Flash 10.1 from a trusted source.

Dodgyknees Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Cheers Nays, will give it a go. One thing I am concerned about, is people telling me they can hardly hear me when I phone them. Apparently I don't sound as loud as I used to (On 4s) what is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The flash being removed from the play store is nonsense. I updated flash 2 hours ago from the play store. Why they pretended to remove it is beyond me. N idea what was going on there. I agree Flash on mobile is impossible, too many handsets to update. It needs to die.

Voice quality is something Samsung have always been excellent at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I was going through headphones. Not had any complaints today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The S3 is the best voice quality I've ever had in a phone. Such an improvement over the S2 that it was very noticable. Have you tried out kies air yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Tried it yesterday great app! Really loving this phone, feel I can actually make choices. The music quality is very good too. Can I delete some of the apps I don't want? Flipboard as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 P.s when I go to transfer my m4a files over, it gives me the option to convert as I transfer. Loses no quality either. Also, I saw in the paper something about being able to sync with iTunes via some kind of programme from Samsung..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 What is good about it? I just find it really good as it collates articles from a range of sources and so you end up reading interesting stuff that you may not otherwise come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I put football on, it kept showing none of my twitter/facebook but a bloody annoying Brendan Rodgers story with hin gurning, so i deleted football but that story is sat there.

Dodgyknees Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 No, I love the fact I can do what I want with my phone, set it up how I want, change the way things are from bottom to top, add in extras, have everything I need right in my hand, where I want it and looking how I want it to. I loved the 4s, but the limitations made the phone a frustration. This is how a phone should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2012 Late to the party. been on holiday so not had much chance to check the forum. You may have solved some problems. You can sync with iTunes using an app from Samsung but it's not great. I'd make the commitment to change everything if I were you. The way I got over the iTunes format music was select everything in my library in iTunes, right click and "Create mp3 version". Takes ages, but that will create an mp3 version of everything. Once that's done Hold shift and click file and you can select "Show exact duplicates", sort those by date added. All your mp3s will obviously have been added when you created them, so just delete everything else in that list and you'll just be left with the mp3 version of everything. I've started using Window Media Player. It's alright. I still prefer iTunes as a music manager, but given WMP's compatibility with the S3, I'm going to stick with that. I'd recommend poweramp as a music player on your Galaxy. it's awesome. Slight problem with playlists but there's a workaround, hopefully they'll update it to fix it. I didn't see anything in Flipboard that made it worth keeping. I've deleted it. Feel free to ask anything else. I'm no expert but as Conor said, I've just changed from an iPhone myself so have probably encountered any problems you're also having! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh, and after taking plenty of photos and video when I was on holiday, I can confirm that the camera is amazing. Especially on video. Ridiculously good. I second the swiftkey recommendation. I use it and it's really good. If you're a gamer, download some emulators. I've been using Super GNES, a SNes emulator, and it's excellent. Buy yourself a wiimote and a wii classic controller and you can sync it using the phone's bluetooth and control it using that. I also have a Galaxy to TV HDMI cable so you can watch video or play the above emulators on your telly. It's basically a retro games console in it's own right.
