Q. Okay, I've got a SGS3 and I want a few apps that require rooted phone. I've never had an android phone before, so I barely know anything about that. What are the pros and cons for rooting it? Is it safe? In case something's wrong, can I turn it back so it's the same like it was before? Also, when rooting, how should I do that, and, will I be able to keep the original android 4.0.4 without any custom ROMs (I like it just how it is)?
A. Okay, I've got a SGS3 and I want a few apps that require rooted phone. I've never had an android phone before, so I barely know anything about that.
------- Rooting is not or everyone. Rooting is when you bypass the OEM and Carrier firmware locks on the phone, thus granting 1 and only 1 thing--- superuser access (Admin rights aka God Rights). If you are technologically timid or not tech savy or do not know how to fully operate Android, then I HIGHLY you hold off on rooting.
What are the pros and cons for rooting it?
-------- Pros: Admin rights to the phone. Cons: 1) voids warranty..2) if you have no idea what your doing on a rooted app, you can easily brick your phone OR make it to wear you never never never ever get an android OS update!!!! A good of this is when idiots want to root a phone to delete the bloatware (pre-installed apps from OEM and Carrier that people really never use and cannot be uninstalled on a unrooted/rooted phone. They can only be deleted on rooted phones). As of 2010, Bloatware is NOW tied to ALL Android OS updates by the OEM and Carrier as an attempt to prevent rooting. If you root the phone and decide to delete just 1 bloatware app, lets say or example Blockbuster App, and lets say 6 months later Samsung releasd Android 4.1 Jellybean to all GS3 users. You'll get the notification. You will be allowed to download JB. But the installation WILL FAIL!!!! Why???? Cause you deleted 1 bloatware app!!!! And if your think you can simply go to Playstore and redownload Blockbuster app and fix your issue--LMFAO--WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Learn what rooting does!!!!!!!!! OK!!!!! Bloatware is tied to the stock ROM and Android OS updates by your OEM (Samsung on GS3). IF you get Titanium Backup App (A rooted app) and use it to delete Blockbuster, then you not only deleted the app, but also the code that ties the app to the stock rom. So when you try to install Jellybean in the future, it will scan all bloatware to make sure it can fully install/update. IF it see 1 bloatware missing, it wont install. And i you try to fix it by going to Playstore and redownloading Blockbuster, it STILL wont work. Why??? Sure, you reinstalled the app.. BUT NOT THE CODE THAT TIES IT BACK INTO THE ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Titanium Backup is awesome. You want an app deleted---oh you bet it WILL be deleted, even its CODE! So... learn rooting... its not for everyone... I dont want to see you back on here crying and sobbing that you cant get Jellybean cause you deleted Bloatware.. You been warned!!! Next Exmaple is SetCPU... make your phone faster or slower. Set the parameters to high or to low, and you just made yoruself a $500 paperweight! Understand!!!?!?!?!?!!?!?
Is it safe?
-------- sure... if you have a good rooting method. Google a rooting method... and read alllllllllllll the posts in the topic thread about it.... Obviously you dont want a rooting method that bricks everyones phones... so be smart and read and research before doing it yourself
In case something's wrong, can I turn it back so it's the same like it was before?
------- most Rooting tools have unrooting options. Some do. SOME DONT!!!!!! And if you root your phone by Rooting Method "A", then unrooting can only be done by the same tool. You cant use method "B" to unroot "A".. Get my drift... so make sure your root method has a unrooting option so you can reinstate your warranty if your phone ever has warranty issues.
Also, when rooting, how should I do that,
-------- research... read... learn.... this is how we all learned... find your rooting method. Google" rooting samsung gs3"... make an account on Androidcentral.com and join the gs3 forums... research.. learn.. read... dont like this answer... then good luck and you'll heat it A LOT!!! This aint no plug n play Iphone jailbreak. Like ALL ROOTING AND ROM FORUMS STATE: "We dont take any responcibiulty for what you do to yoru phone. Here are the instructions. Follow them fully. We dont control your fingers or actions. If you brick your phone, its your fault!".... so like I said, not being mean, just honest--- research... read... learn....
and, will I be able to keep the original android 4.0.4 without any custom ROMs (I like it just how it is)?
-------- if that is what you want... sure... custom rom'ing is only part of the rooting experience, if you so choose to do that.

S3 for smart features and camera and touchwiz nature ux.......
Optimus g for design,processor.......

Btw LG smart 3d tv vs Samsung smart 3d tv.....
Which is better.......
A. Samsung s3 why because its newer than the HTC one x and optimus g is like lame they both don't have expandable memory whereas the S3 does have it ... wait the optimus g is a pretty good phone dont get me wrong but i would go between S3 or the G why didnt you go for the nexus 4 is a pretty damn good phone well to be honest i have a motorola xoom 64gb + 64gb sdhc so 128gb and i have everything i need in their so i just carry my nexus 4 with 16gigs for pictures and loading to the google cloud storage that gives me 50gb and transfering it to my xoom which makes it like an extreme comp to carry everything with me from photos to music to anything projects, powerpoints, ANYTHING
Iphone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S III?
Q. I currently have an iPhone 3S and it's quite dated. I'm considering replacing it with either the Iphone 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S III. Which one should I get?
A. Definitely the Galaxy S3 as I have it and its fantastic, there's so much customisation (can change the look of the OS if you ever get board, can download media from anywhere, so not restricted to iTunes) and freedom for example a micro sd card slot and the ability to swap batteries so my opinion years ahead of the iPhone because with the Iphone 5 there's not a considerable difference as the OS looks exactly the same (so still dated) for example the iphone has just go the Panorama mode for the camara. galaxy s3 OS Android has had this feature for years, plus if you use maps, they've really screwed it up now as they've chosen to abandon google maps in favour of their own mapping system, which is so inaccurate with misplaced towns and cities etc.
and for the design is just looks like a stretched Iphone 4s
So go with the Galaxy s3, and save lots of money on the much better phone
