QuestionI have the Sprint HTC EVO 4G and the battery life is horrible. Is the battery life on the Galaxy S lll 4G longer and if so, how much longer?
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Heck yeah. It's a 100x better. I had the EVO and it totally sucked when talking about battery life. I can go the day without charging my phone and I feel that I use my phone a lot. With the EVO I had to charge at last 2-3 times a day.

QuestionCan you transfer all the android apps from one phone to another or do I have to look them all back up again?
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes the apps will transfer from old phone to new phone. This is how: 1) Get new phone. 2) Go to Android app store on new phone. 3) Select the My Apps section. This is where all the apps are from your old phone. 4) Install all, or select which ones to install.

QuestionIs this an unlocked phone?
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I noticed that you are asking if the SGS III from sprint is an unlocked phone. Sadly to say, it is not. It's carried by sprint, therefore, not unlocked. Also, the unlocked version is a 3G quad-core vs. the sprint version which is a 4G dual core. I went ahead and posted the unlocked version for you :)
  I would recommend:
