Default [Q] A Couple of questions about the S3

I had the GS2 for a short time & a couple of things really made me want to get rid of it & wondered if these problems had been eliminated in the S3?

1: The radio was always way too loud, even at minimum volume.

2: When the battery was full the screen lit up & the phone made a noise, most annoying in the middle of the night.

Have these been addressed & fixed?

About Q2: Probably not. A fix is, to lay your phone further away from you when you sleep. And do you really wake up because of that?

And Q1: Almost never used radio, but no volume problems when I used it (SGS1).

I mentioned the S2 not the s1.

Laying further away from the phone isn't a fix....It stays lit which cannot be a good thing.

I did use the FM radio - It was loud..

For the S2 there is a mod which deactivates the full charge notification. The one for the S3 will arrive soon after it is released.
