I have, but not done a lot besides restoring apps with Titanium Backup (enough reason to Root the phone right there for me).

Didn't think it was worth a new thread but here is a video of some of the accessories for the SGS3 including the wireless charging.....looks like a new back cover will be included in order to use the charging kit (*clause 51 secs in).

Also just read the article below:

GSM Arena - Samsung Galaxy S III comes with a new MHL port, HDMI adapters not compatible (http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-comes-with-a-new-mhl-port-hdmi-adapters-not-compatible/)

Here is a bummer. The flagship Galaxy S III has a redesigned MHL port and that’s incompatible with the previous HDMI MHL adapters available for other Samsung products.

The reason is very simple – despite the USB MHL port looks the same, the phone uses the connector pins in a different way. Thus your old MHL HDMI cables won’t work on the newly released S III.

Unfortunately, there won’t be a fix – it’s a hardware thing and it can’t be fixed with some hack. It’s unclear why Samsung decided to change the pins used for the HDMI connection.

So, if you want to connect a Galaxy S III to an HDTV you will need to buy an MHL cable specifically designed to be used with the phone. None of the available standard cables will work. The new cable costs £25. A bummer, indeed.

I can't see why either. Poor old Samsung will just have to sell more of these expensive cables...until somebody makes one for half the price. :)

Rooted this morning and strangely my quadrant scores have dropped by 1000 putting my s3 below the hox!

All I have done is frozen some bloatware?
