all right what's going on folks this is clayton over to android authority com today I'm coming at you with a small video explaining a few of the things I dislike about the samsung galaxy s3 now spend a lengthy amount of time with this device and I really love a lot of the features it has to offer it's a great phone it's solid it's fast and it meets every single need that I ever have but there are a few things that I've come across that I dislike about the phone so I'm here to tell you exactly what they are so I first complaint about the samsung galaxy s3 is its lack of a master brightness control not only does it not have master brightness control it doesn't even have an easily accessible brightness toggle in the status bar it does have Wi-Fi GPS mute screen rotation power saving notification mobile data Bluetooth driving mode and sink but no brightness toggle now I what you're going to have to do to change the brightness is go into the settings go to the display options go to the brightness options and here you can actually set your brightness you can turn it all the way up and all the way down of course you can set automatic brightness but let's say we want to leave it there we've got to write this all the way down we go into an application we actually have a different brightness than we do for the entire system you see here when we access the settings we actually have to go into brightness and colors to choose the level of brightness / application so let's say we turn it up all the way for the web page and we'll go home and our brightness is still down now that may be useful for some but let's say you wanted the brightest all the way down your land in bed it's a low light condition so you don't want to hurt your eyes you've set your master brightness here from the home screen or the settings menu and then you want of you a web page boom right in your face is this bright web page you got to go here you got to turn it down you're basically going to have to change your brightness on a per app setting and that can kind of get annoying unless you have automatic brightness selected for every single setting but I personally dislike that feature a lot so another thing I dislike about the samsung galaxy s3 somewhat is its placement of the capacitive buttons here for example let's say we're browsing a web page we're just hanging out right here we want to click the bars and we're going to use it in landscape mode our hand will come over and if we're not careful we can actually press the capacitive buttons now if we're handing over handling the phone like this you're pawan may come over and press the one of the capacitive buttons you might press the bottom one the menu you might press the back button and if you're careful you can make sure that this doesn't happen but a lot of times I've been careless and I'm just hold it like that my hand might overlap and I might just hit the button just like that if you don't have a case that has a protective bordering you might find yourself hitting the capacitive buttons too much i know i have on a daily basis so i just throw a case on my galaxy s3 to eliminate the problem now anyways my last complaint with the galaxy s3 is its difficulty in making folders you see my home screen here is filled up with apps but let's say I'd like to make a folder I can grab my gallery unless I want to group that right where the camera is so I've easy access to my camera and my gallery you can't just hover over and create a folder like you can in the native ice cream sandwich in fact there's not even any options anywhere to bring it down and make a folder and you can only just replace the dock bar icons with the icon that you've selected let's say we wanted to attempt the same thing by grabbing a nap out of the tray will go here and we'll grab the gallery we still cannot hover over another icon to create a folder we actually have to go down to create the folder and when we do that it still doesn't go to the same a home screen that we wanted it to in fact there was no room so it just didn't even make it at all which is quite an inconvenience in order to make a folder you have to have enough space on the home screen here you can't grab this and bring it down you have to go to the apps grab it move to create folder then it'll create a folder grab the app you wanted to originally put in the folder and put it in then when you open the folder it dims everything else it makes it seem like your folder as much out of the way these problems can all be fixed um you have different launchers that you can install to eliminate the problem with the folders you can pop a case on there so your hands are hitting capacitive buttons and you could install a custom rom that has a brightness slider up here in the toggle bar to eliminate the problem with the brightness now all around i love the galaxy s3 but those are just a few of the complaints I've found with that you guys anyways guys keep
