upgrade from Samsung Galaxy s3 mini? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
I am trying to help my wife upgrade her Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. She would prefer it to be small, and about $60. I purchased a 4 mini which was an improvement, but was open to suggestions for another Verizon smartphone. Thanks in advance!

you can search for the Xperia XZ1 Compact it's similar (in size), and you get a good processor

[Q] Has anyone tried the 128GB Micro SD card in their Z1 yet?

As the title states, now I know that our devices say that they support up to 64GB but I have seen other phones (a long time ago, Desire HD and the like) using memory cards they were never designed to be used with, just wanted to know if anyone had tried it and if so how did it go? Did it work did it make the phone any slower?
Sandisk has said that it's compatible but i'd just like to hear what people have experienced.
Cheers.

EDIT: Just found this list of devices that apparently support the 128GB SD card and the Z1 is on it along with some devices that I never thought would.

Would anybody seriously spend £100 on an sd card, you'd be better putting that £100 into the 32GB or 64GB versions

I highly doubt that it'll stay that price for long once it becomes mainstream, with 4K video set to become the standard over the next few years i'd expect people to be picking this sized memory card up soon so yea if you want to get in there early then 100 quid isn't that bad.
Bare in mind that the jump between iphone memory sets is £100 when a new one is released check the prices, 16GB 32GB and 64GB all £100 difference between them.
So not only would people pay this but they do already.
Not to mention that if you roll back time a little the 64GB card wasn't exactly cheap when it came on the scene.
Also this thread is a question, not a general discussion.
There's a huge difference between buying a 16GB-64GB phone, than buying a 16GB phone then buying a 128GB sd card, especially with kitkats limitations with sd cards

I don't know m8, i've been using foldermount for the really big apps and it's been superb up until now.
There isn't an app out there that I can't mount onto the SD with foldermount, not to mention the sheer amount of media that could be put on a 128GB sd card.
Plus if you've not used one then youre not answering my question either

I tested FolderMount and I agree with you, very good app! ..but I still prefer "Native" expandable storage.

I am so attempted to buy that card, and soon or later I will.
I have the card and is working fine. All I can say is that isn't fast. Max speed you will have is about 15/20 Mb/s writing(Rarely) as the Mobile Ultra. Honestly I prefer my 16 Gb Extreme Pro(I have had 104 Mb/s writing files).

Do you happen to use the app folder mount? Have you noticed anything problematic whilst in use?

Haven't used that app. I don't know if you are rooted but I use sdfix and I haven't had any problems.
PD: I could try the app for you and tell what happens tomorrow. It's 3 am here...

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm merely saying that for the average user, anything more than a 32GB or 64GB is too expensive, and yes the price will come down, but then they'll develop 256GB, how long before we have terabyte cards? They already do terabyte pen drives but they're not affordable to the average user

Samsung Micro SDXC 64Go Classe 10 UHS-1 Grade 1 70MB/s 35€ here, no that's not expensive.
If you re-read what I wrote I said anything MORE than 32GB or 64GB, A decent 64GB can be picked up for under £40,

Lol get some sleep mate, try it when you've got a few zzZZZzz's
I'll look into SDFix, it appears to be a very clean looking app, but as for the modification that it does, does it extend the usage of your internal memory or simply put the rules of the SD card back to the way that it was on 4.3 and previous versions? That's kind of what it says on their play store page.
If thats the case then it is different to folder mount which literally enables you to grab a folder from within your internal stoage and move it to the ext card then the previous folder can be deleted, 100% space back.

Yea you're right i'm not disputing that mate, i've already got a 64GB myself. Picked it up for £38 when they were just becoming mainstream.
All I wanted to know was what people experience was with them, I honestly don't care about the price or whether or not it's too big for some people, everyone's different.
Also I don't need to re-read your post, I read your statement, which was no answer to what I had asked, it was simply your opinion and of no help to me, sorry.
128GB SD-Card speed issue on 4.4.4
I bought my 128gb-card yesterday and I noticed a HUGE speed difference between android 4.3 and 4.4.4. On 4.4.4 it's EXTREMELY slow, but the speed is good on 4.3. Anyone else facing this issue? My Roms are: 4.4.4 - slimkat AMD (evo 9) and 4.3 - romaur 1.2.
Try installing pimp my z1 and change some SD card read ahead and some different I/o schedulers

[Q] CFW for I8200 (port, anything)?

Hey all,
I recently bought the S3 Mini (I had a galaxy s2 two years ago with CM...). After buying it, I saw that I bought the I8200 version (which I didn't know it exists). I have already rooted the device and so on but my question is: will there ever be a custom firmware/recovery (portet from the I8190?) or something similar in the near future? because I miss CM so hard... So if there is any developer who can offer something, this would be great!!
Thank you very much in advance!!!

does EB425161LU battery work for S3 mini ?

hi all,
My S3 mini is having battery issues and i'm planning to re-place it.
Currently in my s3 mini the battery which came with the phone is "ebf1m7flu".
But in india S3 mini is not available and hence the original battery for S3 mini is also not available.
But all the shops are suggesting this battery model "eb425161lu" which has same specifications has the above one.
is it safe to use this battery model("eb425161lu") for S3 mini ?
Please suggest for any other alternatives.

[Q] I8190 s3 Mini I8200N S3 mini Screen advice

Hi, could anyone please advise if the lcd and touch screen for I8190 s3 Mini is compatible with the I8200N s3 Mini.
I tried asking a chat adviser on the Samsung site, he was unable to tell me as he was not a tech and they were all very busy.
No don't think so mate, although they look the same, internal connections & screws I think are different

Exactly what I was wondering.
What I have found out via the WIKI is that there has been new version numbers since I8190 s3 mini and the purpose is better CPU/custom roms & things like that but the displays to me are the same, I have looked at I8190 images against the broken I8200N screen I stripped out & the components, ribbon, well everything looks the same.
Next week I will be purchasing a complete digitizer/lcd & frame for a I89190 for around £35.00 off fleebay to try in my I8200N.
I will update this thread when it has arrived & been tested

Hi,
I can now confirm that the I8190 s3 Mini is compatible with the I8200N s3 Mini.
Thus why you don't see a I8200N screen on fleebay of other sites.

Compatibility samsung smartwatch on galaxy tab s2 T819

Hi,
Today I bought the latest samsung smartwatch R800. Apparently this watch is not compatible with my galaxy tab S2 (T819). I called Samsung support but they couldn't help and told me I have to use a phone. Is there a way to make it work on this tab? If not it's going back to the shop because it's no use for me if can't link to the tablet. Strange Samsung even makes products that are not compatible with their own devices!

I'm wondering that too. It's been 2 years for you, and how did it go??? I'm switching to an old Tab S2 8.0 and my watch isn't connecting.
