The fucking sky must be falling and aliens running around this bitch because once again I agree with everything you say.
It's about time you start seeing the light....
The iphone 5 will perform half the features smoother. It's funny how they never seem to get the intuitive insult.
Why can't people understand this point???
LTE & screen brightness are the two things that suck battery life the most!!!
I bet most of the guys that get exceptional battery life & lasts all day long, are on Sprint. They are probably using 3G only on Sprints network.
Oh and..... welcome to the Galaxy S3 club CocoBeauty
I dont use an app killer. What is important though is that those first few charges, I let the battery go until the point it pretty much cut off and then recharged it to 100% to train it correctly.
What's "stale and boring" if 95% of people are doing the same thing on either phone. As I've said before, most people are using the phone to TALK (the shocker!), text, browse the internet, and play music and games. You have the same experience regardless of the phone you use, as long as it is a high-end smartphone.

Look here Coco, I've bookmarked this thread, and expect an update on your feelings on the S3 vs the iphone experience after a week.

coco i got the biggest cookie for you
It's more of a generational thing. When you are building a identity then making sure you are unique is big importance. Once you are older and established, with obligations, etc then people tend to want something that works. The idea of changing icons, and fonts and so forth may still look interesting but you got better things to do than spend several hours setting up all that. The older you get, the more time is precious.

I'm on Verizon and in Maryland...4G is completely covered. I use automatic brightness and my battery lasts all day. Without any problem.

I bet these cats that switched over have everything syncing like mail, stocks, weather, news. All that shit syncing drains your battery.

This is what I do and my shit last damn near all day.
LTE or WiFi are not battery killers. Neither is screen brightness, unless you got it on ridiculous. What kills the battery is the SEARCHING for those features. Turn off the features unless you know you can connect to them with a strong signal. Also, lithium and nicad batteries need to be 'conditioned'. Drain them fully 2 or 3 times and them you're fine. Apple products are toys; they are for people who just want a vanilla experience, no surprises, no options, just the same old shit. Android is for people who want to customize their experience and are not afraid of change. Windows is the best mobile OS going. We'll see what happens when the phone and tablet with W8 drops. Hopefully they realized their mistake and support open sourcing. And finally, iTunes sucks so much it makes me sick. Once you've run your files through it forget any other manager. iTunes writes proprietary info to the files that can't be removed. You have to erase your library and reload everything from a different source once you've purged your machine of the apple worm.
This is how you condition a new battery. Like he said, first full charge, let it drain until it dies, then charge it full. Repeat the same thing a few times.
It's all about what's you have sync in the background. I went into my accounts and found that 10 of my apps were sync, i only need just 3 of my email account to sync with the phone. And you should set apps not to run when stop using them, that setting is in the Developer options "De not keep activites". Or you can use the back key, it will close most applications, while the home key place the app in stand-by mode.
This one only comes with a 1500 milliamp battery in this skin. Mophie is making one for the SIII. Wait for that if you need one.
I have yet to use tapatalk with my phone...I go straight to BGOL on my browser.
try it. its great.
it's not coming up for us anymore. There's another thread on it, where we can't find it now.
We need to make a thread about "tips to save battery life" or add more tips in this thread. A few things that I have noticed.
1)Screen brightness can drain the battery fast.
Turn it down half way or use auto brightness.
2)LTE or more specifically SEARCHING for LTE signal can drain the battery fast.
If you have a weak LTE signal, it will drain the battery faster.
3)Apps/Email constantly syncing every 5-10 minutes.
4)If S-voice is running i the background constantly. Make sure the setting is off that S-voice is set to NOT listen to voice commands all the time.
5)Haptic feedback will drain the battery too.
I always urn that setting off, cause I don't like it vibrating anyway.
6)Live wallpaper background will drain the battery. Also w/ these amoled screens, having a dark or black wallpaper will save you some battery compared to have a colorful background. I gained an extra hour of battery life when I switched to a dark/black wallpaper.

I see what you mean. I just did a search for it and got BGOL at Work with the quaid symbol. Tapatalk just released a couple of updates, maybe HNIC needs to update the server or something.
It's about time you start seeing the light....
Just when it comes to phones my man, nothing else!
By the way, you get your ticket for the Steelers-Ravens game yet? 
Try signing out of your account and signing back in. I've seen this before. I just don't know what I did to fix it.
it works for me, because i already had it. But doing a search for BGOL, and thats what you get.
