The ultimate in spoonfeeding ? Can't be bothered to look up a phone number on google ? :confused:
[HTC One S] solracarevir:
That cover must do something.

Looks like antennas to me
[HTC One S] frazzeld:
GPS Antenna
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Now we have found where to buy the sim cover, Does anyone know where to buy the speaker cover ?

I removed it last night out of curiosity and now it wont go back on properly, I believe i broke one of the tiny plastic clips which hold it in place :(
[HTC One S] Radsolutionz:
call htc... make up some excuse... they will gladly send u a replacement... seriously dont worry... no one should pay 35 dollars for a sim cover... thats BOGUS! just call htc they will mail u one free of charge! seriously... =)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Thanks, Ill give that a try, Il just say its started to come loose and isnt flush with the device.

I dont fancy paying for it either lol, I have a TPU case on the phone so you cant tell. But i can :p
[HTC One S] Radsolutionz:
personally i hate putting cases on my phones... i only use one for the gym.... worst case i drop it... i get a brand new one from tmobile... i already dropped this device like 3 times... not a scratch!!!!!!! got to loveee this thing... i fear the galaxy s3 is going to have a REALLLLLLLLY ****astic build quality...n honestly... htc realllllly put their heart into the design of the ONE line up... i reallly would have loved the one x... but this one is just fine... honestly....
[HTC One S] yungtexas:
I totally agree....the s3 is gonna be like their other ****ty build devices....something that at least feels like its metallic. Remember the hd2 back...I mean HTC makes better looking and feeling phones. Hardware specs is debatable but I love this phone with the exception of the memeory card and battery deals. But no cases for me either....they take away from how great and unique the phone looks
[HTC One S] tgtoys:
Pretty much positive that the speaker cover isn't supposed to be removed. You probably did break something in the process. Bust out the glue buddy.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Haha, Turns out its just a speaker and another antenna under it !

Anyway HTC are sending me out a new one :) Free of charge too !
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:
Requested one today but the status says this: Shipment On-Hold Due to Backorder :mad:
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I have got a spare sim cover !!

I took it off before sending my phone for repair, It came back with a new sim cover, So the old one is just in the box doing nothing :)
[HTC One S] lzzhang10:
They must have a lot of demands. I am going to just asked for 1 before warentty expires. So this way, I can have a spare one to use when my original cover gets lost/scratched.
[HTC One S] Eumaniac:
Wrote htc today to get a replacement sim cover. They wrote back an hour later saying they will send one.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
go to a t-mobile store and ask politely if they have any in the returns bin.

if they do, ask if you could swap your back for the one in returns.

most likely they will say yes.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
You wrote to them? I know I can call and get one, but if I don't have to talk on the phone for an hour it would be nice.
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:
HTC e-mail CS refused to do anything for me weeks ago. Told me to call in.
[HTC One S] c_brown93:
Just called. Took 10 minutes and they are shipping one in 2-3 days and already got an email conformation.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Yeah, that's what they told me also. I was just wondering if he got the one sent through email.
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:
Still on back-order. You'd think they'd be able to speed up the process of molding a piece of plastic.

Finally received my HTC one s back cover, took about a month but it eventually got here.

This is an interesting double sided tape. It's a very think film that is left in whatever you put it on that can be rubbed back off if needed. I've found that this adds a good bit of adhesive to the cover but not so much that I can't take it back off with a little bit more force than a brand new one. It's worked out well for me and has stopped the looseness.
[HTC One S] rubbamade:
I can confirm! If you call HTC and just tell them it broke. They do send you one for free!

Just ordered mine!
[HTC One S] rusiestefan:
What do you say to HTC to make them send you a SIM cover? My SIM cover makes an unpleasant sound when I press the power button and I want to replace it. It makes this sound from day one when I unboxed my phone.

I've tried to talk with a represantant from HTC in Romania, but it said that I have to ask the store where I purchased my phone. The problem here is that I won this phone and I don't have where to ask. And to pay 20 euro for a small piece of plastic I think you have to be a millionaire :)))

Have a nice day!
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:
Say that you lost your SIM cover. According to HTC, you're allowed one complimentary accessory replacement.
[HTC One S] Kizi_PL:
Same for me in Poland..
[HTC One S] Hgaara:
I remember when the Sensation came out, everyone started asking for back covers, and after awhile, users started reporting that they started charging after awhile. Maybe because every member and their mother was asking for one. Of course, HTC gives out one item of a specific category (battery, cover etc) for free within their warranty if I am not mistaken.
[Thunderbolt General] Kingnothing9:
This is a widespread issue among thunderbolt users, but I haven't seen a thread here yet.

I haven't accepted the OTA update from earlier this week, but last night my phone booted with what I assume was a update. Now, any URL can only be directed to the Web browser, not an individual app (for example, Google play links link to the play website, not the app. Same with youtube links). There's not too much out there about it, but from what I've seen, this is due to a new patent lawsuit from apple directed at HTC. Apparently HTC laid down and just removed the function. This is terrible and pretty much ruins the phones functionality.

As of right now the only work around I've heard of is custom roms. Personally I don't have that option as this is a corporate phone. Has anyone heard anything or does anyone have any ideas for a work around? I imagine what would work would be a fake "browser" that you would set as the default and just would reroute to apps, but I certainly don't have the developing know-how to make such a thing.
[Thunderbolt General] MattG987:
With the HTC One series, there's a new "App Associations" menu that allows you to assign what apps will be used for various link types... is there no equivalent in the new OTA update for the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] dblkspecial:
After the update there is that setting in the applications menu under settings
[Thunderbolt General] -XIV-:
This is frustrating.

I updated to the software update and regret it to the fullest extent. Now NO videos of Youtube open in the app. This is a headache.

There is a new "apps association" menu in settings now, under Applications menu. But there is NO option to set YOUTUBE as	a default like it used to be with ease.

Anybody here have a way around this??

What I found is using Opera Mini helps this by making it one less step to open videos in the app. But still miss the old direct way.

Help people!!
[Thunderbolt General] Mathiias:
This is due to the patent judgment against HTC by Apple. The same judgment that recently delayed the release of the One X and the EVO 4G LTE. This feature will be removed in all future HTC releases.

Sent from my SkyNet enabled handheld device.
[Thunderbolt General] ianargent:
I went with browser swap, but that doesn't really help with YouTube links. Maybe someone will stand up and code an app?
[Thunderbolt General] mvh11:
You can't. Apple patented the tech, all they will do is go after a new developer of such an app. Your best bet is to root, run titanium backup, and flash a custom rom that is based on an older Thunderbolt ROM if you want the feature back.
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
Or you edit the build prop and delete an HTC file in the system app directory, I saw it for the sense 3.x tons and.tried it on my tbolt and it worked. Google it.
[Thunderbolt General] Kingnothing9:
Does this require root?
[Thunderbolt General] ianargent:
Without root, you can't delete system apps
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
Got root? Yep.. all phones should be rooted and unlocked out the box.
[Thunderbolt General] ianargent:
Unlocked, yes. Able to be rooted without an exploit, yes. With root enabled, no. I no longer log in on a admin account on my laptop for security reasons. The "default"use account should not have root
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
No always use an administrator account. Won't use anything less... That's how I roll......
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
That's not exactly some HTC key/core feature. It's in every Android phone and part of the Android source itself. Even the Galaxy Nexus does it. It's not even a phone specific feature. PCs have done it for years using file://some-local-filesystem-point and using sockets to link apps to other apps. That's all Android does pretty much. Since everyone should be rooted on here (the thunderbolt is painful if you don't), it doesn't affect anyone.

Also I see no source links in your post. Means nothing if you can't link to something verifiable.
[Thunderbolt General] ianargent:
If you like working without a safety net, more power to you. I'd rather be safe than sorry, myself
[Thunderbolt General] Google_Nexus:
Gotta roll on the wild side.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clninja:
I for one am going to make the switch..

ALOT of people currently own a gs2 so I'm curious as to how many are also making the switch.

Don't post here if its just to criticize the gs3 or the people who are switching... this thread is just for those making the switch.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haxel:
Unless the exynos proc will now do all 3g/4g I'm not. I want a phone I can use internationally on 3g and on TMO on 3g/4g.

Other than that the feature set is not anything to go OMG I'M SWAPIN. Biggest deal is the possibility of better battery life with that generation. My area has mediocre cell (on signal (on ATT and TMO) so batteries don't last as long as they should even on edge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammydr10:
I am going to be making the switch :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamantericos:
Its its not quad core but also only 4.8 inches sorry too small for me I'll see what the note 2 has to offer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelomen:
I'm planning to, but we will see once it comes out!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks_:
Depending on the final specs and if there are any hardware changes on the device.......I could see myself making the switch on certain circumstances but right now I'm just waiting to see what the final hardware specs are before I make the decision to put up my phone on Craigslist for max dollar. I shouldn't have to pay too much of a difference for the GS3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raul69.atl:
I'm keeping the gs2 till gs4 comes out....I bought me an Asus Tf300 instead :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImARaptor:
Note 2 sounds like it will have a little more to offer :) GS3 is tempting though...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2metz:
Nobody knows if it's quad core. But yes I am buying the phone for sure..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcrazydx:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltmine:
I'll be buying the international GS3. I'm tired of the lag I get on the T989 :\

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticWolf91:
Yup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital1325:
If they release one in black and the battery life is better than the T989, I'd consider making the switch.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/343357/20120521/samsung-galaxy-s3-verizon-sprint-t-mobile.htm

According to this article, the TMobile version, the SGH-T999, will more than likely come with the Snapdragon S4 krait chip. It is dual core, however, it outperforms all other processors, including the new quad core exynos. I will definitely be picking up the next galaxy, considering our phone is still selling on Ebay for ~$350.

Edit:	source= http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/2

Scroll down to see bench marks.

The S4 has equivalent structure to that of a Cortex A15. It is really the best chip out right now. I believe the One S uses it but I could be wrong.

This is what i am always wonder, how in the heck are you guys able to switch phone so fast? i will love to, but i just got into the contract no more than 7 months ago, so i have a lot to go, before i can do an upgrade.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane_pcs:
I'll be upgrading based solely on the increased resolution. My biggest complaint about my S2 is that it has a low res. My s2 is plenty fast, and the S3 will be faster.

As to the comment of how we can switch, I use my phone more than any other device I own. Spending $1000 a year on new phones is something I deem as a priority. Besides, my family is dependent on my castoffs for their own upgrades. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleks_:
Cast offs? Haha. I like that. Thats a much kinder way of saying hand me downs. Awesome. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Im sorry but people are starving jn other countries and you deem spending $1000 on a phone a priority. What about your kids college fund or vacation. Jeez..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new ion?:
Way to judge a book by its cover.

It depends on how well it plays with Telus' network. since i'm on a 3 yr contract (as is the norm up here) if have to buy outright. That's lots of money for a student....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane_pcs:
I donate to charity, my kids college will be paid for by me, and we enjoy our vacations very much. I understand social responsibility, but people have different priorities. Some people spend money on their car or their hobbies. I drive a car from 2003, but I choose to surround myself with the best computer and cell phones that I can. I would also credit my penchant for technology as the reason I can afford all these things.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clninja:
Samsung rep told me dual core s4 krait chip. I prefer that to the quad core.. better battery life and it out performs the quad core.

Also he told me ( take this with a grain of salt) that the gs3 is out mid june for tmobile and note is in for tmobile at end of june

Lets hope he's accurate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonfire665:
I did not mean to start an argument, it was just a simple questions. But thanks for the responses, until then, i guess i will enjoy my S2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbernusg:
Usually the samsung reps are on point
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekzer:
Wont be faster than the Exynos quad core, just the Tegra's probably. Either way, The S4 is a really good chip. I refuse to go to another Non google phone and have to wait 8 months for updates. I mean, ICS will be the last update the SGSII gets from Tmo/Telus. Id rather go iOS than be out of date like that. I may even...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Unless the GSIII has GROUNDBREAKING battery life, I will probably just replace this with a white Galaxy Nexus. Which probably means I'll be getting the Nexus lol. Unless the newer batch of Nexi are amazing, I think the GNex will be more than enough for the foreseeable future. Just not enough technological jumps going on in these newer phones to turn down the $400 outright price of an unlocked beast.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Agree. I had the sgs and we never got gb and most of the roms we got were ported from intl version. Got the sgs2 and we get a maintenance update when the amaze gets ics today and sensation already has it. Now tell me aside feom specs what is going to convince me to get a us version of a samsung galaxy phone. I love my sgs2 but its the last. Im not getting sgs3, 4 or 5.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
S4 krait architecture which are close to a15 cpu is superior to exynos a9 quad core. Exynos mali gpu is a superior compared to the adreno 225. Regardless of which version you get its still going to be fast the s4 is a more efficient cpu. Exynos quadcore better gpu. Standby not actually using the phone the quad core is better. When using your phone the s4 willl be better when actually using your phone. S4 should have better battery life since its actually more efficient. A15 arc has 40% increase performance per clock compared to a9 architecture.

Benchmarks will always be biased towards quad cores compared to dual core. Performance regardless on whether your device has exynos on s4 should be exactly the same.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandemic187:
NEVER thought I would see "only" and "4.8" inches next to each when talking about a phone screen...

The Note is just massive - I can't imagine lugging that thing around every day.

Also, quad core is SOOO overrated. Seriously, a better chip is 10x more important than more cores.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towle:
Not me. I'm finally happy with a phone I own. I will upgrade when something is released that can actually do something this one can't. I'm sure the only way you will see the difference in speed is in a benchmark. I'm not saying it's not a good phone. It's just not enough of an upgrade for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towle:
+1, isn't ICS the first firmware to actually utilize 2 cores? Our phones aren't powerful enough to even need 4 cores yet. It's all for marketing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busab:
Idk I'll wait to see the reviews on the s3 first but its possible. Then again I'm pretty happy with my gs2 so I really don't have a reason to switch other than bragging rights.

If anything I would probably upgrade to the next nexus. Especially if Google will be selling them through the play store and they support all the tmobile bands.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
He's entitled to his opinion. That doesn't mean it's worth mentioning.

The fact is that "SOMG it's so large" got to be a bore within the first month or so. Everyone knows that it's a possible perspective, it's been rehashed 99999999999 times, and, as I pointed out, the opinion doesn't even accurately predict one's user experience. So what's the point?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starchini:
Me too

I'm switching. It's already pre-ordered. Should be interesting as well because this is my first android phone... Ever!!! I've had an iPhone's since they were first released, I stopped at the 3GS.

I'm really looking forward to the jump up in speed and functionality from an iPhone 3GS to the S3 (2 generations difference).

I'm also eager to dip my toes in the waters of Android development, hence why I came across you lovely lot here at XDA.
