Download this driver and install it.

Enter the settings menu on your phone.

In the connections section, below Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, select “More…”.

Select “Tethering & portable hotspot”.

Check the “USB tethering” box.

Before this,I can do USB tethering from my SGS running Gingerbread, but I can't with SGSIII running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. With this driver, now I can.

Let's try and give your feed back here.

One Hand Operation with Big Screen Phone

bestofel — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 08:54:05 +0800

Peace!

Calling for HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note & Note II users. How actually you interact with your phone by one hand? Is it suitable? Any tips to share?

This video shows you how I use my Samsung Galaxy S III by one hand:

And this is my idea to make my hand rest from climbing and go down:

[YOUTUBE]I1zqEWDMvkE[/YOUTUBE]

Smart phone with big screen like HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note II, normally people interact one hand like this: Go up, go down, go up, go down, go up and go down again.

My idea is, when I hold the phone by one hand, I have option to resize the screen to 3.5 inches. If I use left hand, the small resized screen will zoom go to bottom left. If I use right hand, the small resized screen will zoom go to bottom right.

Then, it is easy to tap the top menu or icon or scroll down the notification bar. Then back to normal when the finger away from the screen after a few seconds.

It is nice if we have resizeable screen for easy interaction by one hand holding the phone.

To trigger the resize option, maybe by shake the phone, by long touch on the right bottom of the screen, or intelligently by innovative sensor that know I hold the screen with one hand.

This function will answer who claim that the best screen size for smartphone is only 3.5 inches.

Samsung Galaxy S III Specifications And Details?

bestofel — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 08:38:56 +0800

Source: http://www.redmondpie.com/samsung-galaxy-s...details-leaked/

When you look at those purported specs, it puts those of the recently announced, soon-to-be-released iPhone 4S from Apple firmly into the shade. If this snapshot is to be taken on board, then expect a 4.6-inch SuperAMOLED Plus
HD display – rendering it the largest smartphone screen so far to date. Having said that, asdiscussed
by designer Dustin Curtis, increasingly larger screens may not necessarily be the way forward for smartphones, with the average thumb only able to cover a 3.5-inch radius.
Aside from the big, bright screen, there is also alleged to be a dual-core, 1.8GHz Exynos 4212 processor, 2GB of RAM and a whopping 12 mega-pixel camera
. Such stats make for extremely impressive reading on paper, but lest we forget that such a powerful concoction of hardware can only mean significantly higher battery
usage, so let’s hope that the Galaxy S III has the energy to cope with all that power – should any of these implementations reach fruition.
Not only will the device be thinner and lighter than the SII, but the design will, according to the tipster, be modified and tweaked to avoid any further courtroom beef with Apple – a company with which it shareschequered relations
. The report also notes of NFC andLTE capabilities, and a W750 BSI CMOS camera sensor. Again, early adopters of LTE devices have often been hindered by excessive battery consumption, thus Samsung really has its work
cut out to bring a device of such specification to market. Not saying it’s impossible, but it will surely be a huge challenge.
Obviously, with no way of confirming or proving the authenticity of the leak, it could turn out to be fake, but we felt it certainly worth featuring with such an impressive inventory of hardware features, so look out for more on Samsung’s next smartphone as and when it comes, here at Redmond Pie!

Peace! (~_^)v

My little baby ate my wife's Samsung Galaxy Ace saveral times. When I open the back cover, it wet. After it dried, I just can charge the phone battery but cannot use the mini USB for file transfer or using Samsung Kies. The "Cannot recognize USB devide" message appeared when I connect the phone. I saw the green mold inside the mini USB port.
