From iPhone4 to Galaxy S3
 

So far, so good. Thought i might hate it but i actually really like it.

Still getting used to some of the differences but overall its pretty good.

Recommend me some must have apps?

what apps you want? games or apps?

I'm going to have a look at the S3 later on today, how do you find the Android OS having come from iOS?

Get your DNLA client set up, and get "serviio" set up on your PC

Then you can stream all your music and movies to your S3,

If you want to be adventerous get over to XDA developers and see what custom roms are released, lots of good stuff out there without the bloatware

I had a look at one of these on Saturday, I couldn't believe how light they are! Bloody HUGE though too!

I'm going to jump in here, as I've been immersing myself in Android devices (and I thought device management for iOS devices was bad enough - so many devices, all with somewhat similar names!) recently.

It's different from iOS, things don't feel as cohesive as they do on iOs, but that is probably because I'm used to iOS and how things are defined. Android seems a lot more relaxed. Different versions of the OS, as well as different versions of the devices may work slightly differently. Some options may be present on other devices that aren't on others, which can lead to confusion.

An example, Galaxy Nexus will happily show up on AFT (Android File Transfer), but the Galaxy S II won't for some reason. I have tried digging around the settings, comparing them on each device but as mentioned above, one device has an option, while the other doesn't.

They are both running ICS, and from what I can tell, the same version, so in theory they should be the same, but they are not.

I do like the "Widgets" though, our app has a 4x1 / 4x2 and 1x1 widget and I think that would be quite a nice addition to iOS, gives you a snapshot of the status of an app without having to run the app.

I have to say I'm rather impressed by it.

Have you seen the Galaxy Note? That's just plain silly. All the hype / marketing about it being between a tablet and a phone. Hmm, really is like Dom Jolly's phone, or someone using an iPad as Phone (holding it up to their ear).

Its not too bad really. I didn't think it would be this easy to change over.

Most differences can be overcome by installing apps like a new keyboard so it spell checks typos and changes them. Most of the apps look identical.

Overall, I'd recommend it. The screen is beautiful and very quick/smooth.

Apps mainly. Anything to enhance the usage.

I've just downloaded a free keyboard which is better than the standard one

walkie talkie app tikl. Cant stop using it!!

You traitor :lol1::thumb:

Get the app that can tell you if a girl is on the blob.. No excuses then ;)

i love my S2, S3 is only going to be even more better. App market is great too, youve got googleplay but also getjar.

Or you could just use this instead.

Have you used allshare? It's terrible!

I use servio to my Samsung tv

Yes and have never had a problem with it. I have used it from my PC to my Galaxy S and to my BD player to stream music and films. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

It used to go missing on my network all the time where servioo never has once

Which keyboard did you go for ?

TouchPal. Not sure if it's the best but it's defo better than the standard one. I used to like the way the iPhone keyboard would correct typos.

Seems to work ok. Anything better?

Swype keyboard is fantastic, it should be an option on the standard ICS rom, it is on the S and S2.

Handcent for texting, Zedge for ringtones/wallpaper, Sky +, Google drive, TV Catchup (download the beta from their website).

It's also worth signing up for the Samsung app store as they have a number of free decent games.

Ebay app is good if you use Ebay regularly, I also like the Beautiful widgets app for time/weather - it's free on the Getjar app market.

And servioo can transcode on the fly (just about anything) something which allshare cant
