Had it a week now and love it, so many good features, very clever and the video quality is absolutely amazing!

Is there any apps that people recommend worth having, dont mind the odd game but after more useful things.
Anybody have a task killer too? Who by?

P.S One negative that ive only really noticed today is the charge is very slow, unless im even thinking it might be a faulty handset, been on charge for 2 hours and its gone from 5% battery to 11% battery, might pop down the shop now.

im myself have the galaxy note, ( amazing ) and the mrs has the s3. Both phones are awesome.

Android is by far the best OS out there.

The clues in the name
I bought a Galaxy S3 last week and I'm also having charging issues but only when using an unofficial micro usb cables. My S3 charges fine when using the official Samsung USB cable, but I bought a couple of cheap generic micro USB cable from eBay and charging takes forever. This is charging at the mains. Why do generic USB cables only trickle charge?

I would like to buy a USB cable which charges my phone as quick as the supplied cable but nowhere seems to sell official Samsung data cables.

Has anybody bought a data spare cable/wall charger for their S3 which charges at the same rate as the supplied data cable?

There are a few different micro charging cables e.g Samsung, HTC. I have both they fit s3. HTC one does not work due to wrong connecting teeth in the charger.
