Samsung Galaxy S III rooted before launch
3 Comments
Android "hacker" extraordinaire, Chainfire, has already rooted the Samsung Galaxy S III, and it hasn't even launched yet. Chainfire said he couldn't release the insecure kernel he has that will allow root access, as it might be traced back to the helpful leaker. However, he did say that any serious developer could achieve the same thing in around 10 minutes Continue reading...
Well how about this. Our own Matty Booth pointed out to me that on Samsung's support site it lists versions of the Galaxy S III that are going to launch. Lo and behold there are versions for Vodafone (VAU), Optus (OPS) and a few versions for Telstra (TEL).
The GT-i9300 is just the basic Galaxy S III and from the looks Continue reading...
Did you pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S III in hopes of being one of the first people to own one? Well you're not alone -- actually, there's 9,000,000 other people just like you. According to a report in the Korea Economic Daily, who cited an unnamed Samsung exec, the company has racked up a whopping nine million pre-orders worldwide for their Continue reading...
The great team over at PC World Australia are reporting that Samsung Australia has sent out invites to the media for a launch event happening on May 31st. What might that event be for, you ask? Well I think this blanket statement from Samsung Aus sums it up nicely:
"Samsung Electronics Australia is pleased there is continued interest about our GALAXY Continue reading...
One of the things that Android and Google both cop flack over is the speed at which updates to the Android OS filter out to both new phones and as updates to older devices. One of the reasons specified previously by OEMs has been the fact that they don't receive access to the source code for the latest update until Google Continue reading...
You`ve pre-ordered the Galaxy S III but can't wait the 2 weeks till importers start shipping out the Galaxy S III to get your fix? Well how about you get a head start on reading up on your new toy and download the manual which has been found on-line at Samsung. You can start reading up on S Continue reading...
A lot of people were annoyed by Samsung's choice to use PenTile Matrix in the Galaxy S III's display, however, Samsung have come to defend their choice saying that it increases the lifespan of the AMOLED display. Sammy says that AMOLED screens degrade quickly over time, so with PenTile they can reduce the effects of degradation; something RGB cannot do. Continue reading...
The day of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III we saw pages where you could register your interest in Samsung Galaxy products with the three major carriers, nothing specifically stating the Galaxy S III disappointingly but it's a start. Now Virgin Mobile has tweeted a link to register your interest in Samsung Galaxy Products that they sell, Continue reading...
It was my first attempt at hosting the Ausdroid Podcast, and I think it went down pretty nicely: take a listen for yourself. We were lucky enough to be joined by Kieran McIlwain, Vodafone's Device Introduction Specialist, to talk about the Android OS update process for devices on their network. Oh, we also did some speculation about the Galaxy Continue reading...
The amount of hype that has built up around the Galaxy S III launch has been pretty big, I've had a number of people who have shown no interest in mobile phones previously asking me what the Galaxy S III would have hardware wise. So this morning, I was kind of expecting to see a signup page from each of Continue reading...
Dropbox and Samsung have joined forces to offer a maximum of 50GB to each new Samsung Galaxy S III user. The storage space will stick around for 2 years before you have to pay to keep it. The normal rate for 50GB is $100/yr, so that's $200 of storage for free with your new device. What's Continue reading...
With Samsung letting the cat out of the bag in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S III -- the successor to the Galaxy S II -- we thought it would only be fair to compare it to two other recently released devices -- the HTC One X and Sony Xperia S -- as well as the Galaxy Nexus and the Continue reading...
Samsung has confirmed its Galaxy S III just before the launch event over in London. The device's specs aren't as mind-blowing as we expected, but surely don't disappoint either. There's a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display on the front -- it's pentile. The cameras sit at 8MP on the rear and 1.9MP on the front. Storage sizes will start at Continue reading...
