Galaxy s3 improved notification :) - Galaxy S III General

So I got my galaxy s3 just a week back and I was playing nova 3 when I discovered this feature. Just like on iPhone. Look at the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=ihDW-7f6CbI
and yes iphone did copy android first

I thought ICS has always been like that??

Wouldn't know this is my first ics device was on Htc Evo 3d before

That's excellent.
Deebo took your bike too?!

Nice, thanks for the heads up.

ICS has always been like this.

Thanks for confirming. Anyhow really love the feature.

They work at the lock screen too -- unlike Gingerbread.

not sure of that, this doesn't work on the galaxy nexus on 4.0.4

To all who don't have the feature, well here is the answer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free

wow that's really nice, I didn't know about that. It's an S3 thing cause I just tested it with my friends Nexus and nothing happened.

Thanks, I had no idea we could do this

Wow, if you're sure it can be done easily from the Nexus S dump then it must be true. Someone who can make a statement like that must have the expertise to whip up some drivers for our CDMA radio, wimax, and all the other stuff that is different in the Epic from the Nexus S. Let me know when all this "pretty easy" work is done so I can flash it.

Sure, if easy means that you and all the other super smart guys on the CM teams spend time working on it. As for the OP, I'm guessing he hasn't been committing any code.

Netflix on the Galaxy Note

Apparently the Note is great for viewing movies and I look forward to using it whilst travelling by air. I wondered if anyone knows if it works on Netflix?

Thanks it funny because I am with Sprint 3 lines and would never go to ATT because it is so expensive for what you get. I wanted the phone so bad that I got it anyway despite all of my rationalization that suggested otherwise. Its my Christmas gift to myself...damn it...i never get anything for Christmas...I give to everyone else.....that's my story and I am sticking to it. I upgrade my phones every 3 months or as soons as something new come out. I just have a feeling that with all the quad core and HD phones around the near corner, it is still highly unlikely that we will see a 5.3 HD screen again anytime soon.

Yeah you won't be dissapointed it's awesome. Just don't be surprised if "regular" sized phones don't hold much appeal to you going forward. A day after getting my note my 4" Atrix became unbearable to use

I cant talk for others, but for me, i wanted the design of SGS2 plus the hardware with Sense.

So yeah... The smoothness of SGS2 with Sense UI.

Chrome For Android Beta

So basically its the stock 4.0 browser with the chrome skin and no flash and as of yet no chrome plugin support. But try it out anyway.
Its never gonna support flash, just like android post-4.0

I thought it was ICS only?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485495
I've been using it since yesterday on the CM9 KANG in my P7500. Have to say I'm VERY impressed. Seems faster and more "desktop-ish" than the stock browser. It surely deserves a try!
working fine for me but.....
After fooling around I can't find any way to set the user agent to desktop. Is there a way, a tweak for that yet? That's quite annoying
Its ICS Only!
Well, if anyone here is not using any of the Kang CM9 ports on their GT10.1, then you don't know what you're missing. No reason for anyone to be stuck on 3.2.
No flash, no YouTube desktop site, no good.

The absence of Flash is my only disappointment, but I'm fairly sure that it will be fixed in further versions. For most of my activities I already replaced the stock browser for Chrome.

Because development is a lot easier on nexus phones, they have more dev support and also all the updates are pushed by google themselves. So yeah they are better!

funny....i have been seeing the exact opposite. I think prices for the gnex are actually cheaper than the sgs2 in Canada. I had it for a day, i can see why it would be.

Heh. Looks like different experiences. I've seen alot of gnex for sale on Kijiji at ridiculously low prices, so you may be right. On these forums though, I've only seen people leaving to the gnex forums as of now...
The SGS2 in Canada annoys though, 3 different phones: Galaxy S2X from Telus, i9100M from Bell/Virgin, Galaxy S2 LTE from Rogers...
