What do you think about your Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE

[Pawelk198604]

I'm running out contract mobile phone company Orange, unless it renewed for subsequent two years, as they have in the promotion Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE at a very decent price. My guards Sony Xperja J is the worst smartphone I had, in principle, it was my second smartphone so far, the first was a touch Nokia 5230 with Symbian

I liked it. Until it got stolen, but only problem - the back heats up when playing high CPU games

I wonder does is possible to protect phone useless for thief, make it worthless pieces of Silicon and electronic, just like Russian did with Moscow when Napoleon Bonaparte paid them uninvited visit.

In short, is there any way to protect mobile phone against thieves?

My first smartphone was a Galaxy S3, and I was thoroughly impressed. The big thing to watch out for now is updates. The S3 is nearing the end of it's service and probably won't get the OS upgrades of the newer phones.

Other than that, the S3 is a well- designed and constructed phone. Removable back, replaceable/ upgradeable battery, upgradeable memory, and very intuitive user interface.

Best,

Keep it secret, keep it safe!

There are apps/service providers that let you locate and lock out your phone after it is stolen or lost.

My wife has an S3, it's a great phone that has aged well. It doesn't feel obsolete and can run just about any app you throw at it. Tons of aftermarket support for accessories like cases, too. Custom ROM support is good as well if you're into that sort of thing.

You will see a significant performance increase over your Sony.

This phone is simply awesome, today signed an annex to the Agreement with Orange, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE and so-called "Power Bank" I forgot to charge my phone, and switch off at the worst possible moment, for example, as I was at the zoo with me BRO his daughters and my nieces, I'm not rich, I'm also moderately disabled, it is also the brother took me to the zoo to have a cheaper ticket and we need an extra person can enter as a group getaway.

My old phone Sony Xperja J was probably the worst phone I had, jammed at any time, sometimes I feel like bashing the .... phone against the wall, even my first smartphone Nokia 5230 was better, as I think that I gave him 450 PLN is up to me gets sick, my mom reminds me that Samsung gave 300 Polish zlotys, and I remembered how much I gave my mom for Xperia two years ago.

The best in my opinion is the encryption function, and I not must worry about my movie collections

I encrypted data on my s3 I did this on purpose, to secure my little friend when go to city or my university, but I wonder does I can temporary screen lock password but left data encrypted?

[robopilot99]

I think you can under security in the settings.

I just have one question: why do you have an S3? At least upgrade to an S4 and get better service!

At least upgrade to an S4 and get better service!

But Pavel said he just got a brand new S3? Why would he trade in his brand new phone? Presumably he bought the S3 for a reason?

Im not sure if thats different on Samsung but on normal Android you cant deactivate the screen lock when you have encryption enabled. Disabling encryption isnt possible without wiping the device (shouldnt be to bad since its new).

If you want to keep encryption you can set a longer time until it will ask for the PIN or password again, on my HTC One this goes up to 15min...

Because i'm not rich person, my mom My mom did to me for that reason, reproaches that lavish spending, but this is my money from my social university social scholarship besides signing up for the work of the election commission this year because we had local elections in Poland.

Snipped a thing.

Encryption is important if you want to protect your data against police etc. who took your smartphone from you (e.g. when you are arrested), it wont help against online threats (like viruses from criminals or the NSA) .To protect it against curios friends and family members a normal code should be enough.

I only need cryptography to hide university cheat sheets and my small VUXT collection
