Just had to send back the refurb GNex I got back yesterday. The ambient light sensor was inop. Using a crap TBolt as a loaner and wish I could find my old Droid as I'd rather use that.

Since I bought the phone through Bestbuy I am dealing with them, Verizon said they couldn't do much. Tomorrow I am getting a 3rd refurbished phone since the 2 before that had issues as well.

Finally on ICS and I'm really liking it so far. It's a lot faster and smoother.

Rooted/Recovery/Kernal/ROM flashed to Galaxy S III on Verizon. I must say this phone is extremely fast! Fastest phone i've used to date.

For reference

Guess who just got the number to R&D at AT&T because I complained to tier 1, 2, and 3 tech support to much. Been calling 2-3 times a week asking if they can disable the bloatwear.

My excuse is that Root didnt come out till a couple days ago. Let them prefect it and get the kinks out before flashing.. And now they are saying there is a soon to come update that will most likely kill root anyways


Im not used to Samsung rooting (have to download/install the Odin software)

Im deff used to Motorola (as my last two phones were) and using their software for having fun.

Its a new learning experience for me. Lots of reading to do before I do anything haha.

[ROOT] [RECOVERY] SCH-I535 (Verizon Galaxy S III) - Verizon Galaxy S3 Development - RootzWiki

A lot of reading and setting up sdk/adb/java but well worth it.
Look on youtube there are some video tutorials that walk you through the process.
