[Galaxy S III Accessories] ipaq_101:
I will never use zagg again, it is expensive and inferior to other brands. ZAGG products are awful, they scratch very easy and in a week it does look like you have been using the phone for ever.

I have since switched to best skins ever:

http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-skin

It is half the price and honestly the quality of the screen protector is 10 times better and I can tell you that that the protector does't scratch and seems to fix itself over a few days if it does.

It doesn't come with the soapy solution, but you can easily make it and use a credit card as a squeegee.

I messed up putting on the screen and I emailed them and they sent me a new one for free.

Their customer service is amazing:

Hi there,

I applied your skins to my phone, I did the back part of the phone perfectly, but I royally messed up the front part, the most important part, is there a way I can return it or get a discount if I just purchase the front piece?

Sweet!!! i would love to try this one..

Is there anyone who has tried to seek for the 45-day Money Back Guarantee

policy for Zagg? do i need to pay for the shipping etc ?:confused:

Added a few more cases to the list (post #122) that will and will not work with the Zagg (or any other full size screen protector).

My Maximum Invisible shield finall arrived and has just done the back and side protection.

Overall experience is not that good as the plastic is rather sticky and the cutting is not really MAXIMUM coverage..

Have order the bestskinever as recommended by one of the member here and will see if there is a need to change....

Give it a miss if you can on invisibleshield...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bababooey:
Zagg is so over-rated,it's silly and not in a good way....:silly:

I just installed a armorshield on my S3 and it is beautiful and pretty much invisible.

Cheers ..:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dlads:
Ahh the ol zagg, I've installed so many of these little buggers and for the most part they're very good, probably best on the iPhone 4.

The desire HD back cover has to have been the worst.

However fitting it on an s3 or any phone for that matter isn't the easiest, I've seen so many ppl get it wrong even though it looks perfect, plus ppl tend not to let the liquid and the sticky set properly.

It should take about 2 -3 days to completely cure, it anything happens in that time then its never going to be right.

I've had mine on my phone for a while now and its perfect still, no scratches and no lifts.

My advice would be, it you don't like the orange peel effect or feel of it then stay away from it, IMHO they are the best there is, the problems people have usually resides in either an unfortunate protector ie: creased or scratched, or problematic fitting or a hasty user not waiting for it to set correctly.

If its done right then it'll work.

I admit that the shape could have been a lot better too.

There is a 25 year warranty if you need to return it for a new one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrlow81:
Hi, do you have the link for the armor shield that you order? cant seem to find it... thanks:o
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrlow81:
Just got my bestskinsever S3 protector and i am loving it.. its cheaper and so much better feel than the overpriced invisible shield.

Getting the 45 days money back refund.. anyone tried that from zagg?

Just installed Armor shield. It has some rough areas I guess where some bubbles are trapped. Does this go away in a few days?

My At&t Focus Rev 1.3 is Stuck at the Samsung Logo. Will turn off after it vibrates the second time on powering on. *Cannot enter download mode or Reset the Phone.

*Edit, Now able to enter Download mode,

Tried to Flash the stock AT&T Tango Rom "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA" Found elsewhere on the Forum, Was able to Flash it successfully, But to no Avail. Again Stuck at the Samsung Logo. After a few seconds it turns off again. if i try the reset mode, It just Freezes at the samsung logo after pressing the Windows key twice. :confused: Any Help Would Be greatly Appreciated. :confused:Thank all You Guys in Advance.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I'm just guessing that you had a custom rom in, just before this happened?
[Focus General] micki9559:
Nope. I really don't know what rom it was running, because ordered this off Ebay.

After it arrived it's just been doing the same thing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837

give it a try, I'm optimistic for possitive results

but don't forget to use samsung stuffs instead of htc

good luck
[Focus General] rkkaranrk:
I have Samsung focus with a similar problem and have tried each and every thing to recover it but NO LUCK. :(
[Focus General] SuperSport:
This is why I wondered about the USB port.
[Focus General] rka:
Same story, after many reboots i was able to boot into OS. Strangely, removing the battery and waiting for a couple of minnutes (maybe more) seems to do the trick. The phone boots up and you can really use it... until the next reset. Installing all the updates - to mango - was a pain in the posterior... and the phone works.. sort of.

I think that these phones are just faulty and if there is a way to return them - do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodi524:
Defintly a noob question.

I don't always have access to a Linux machine,

is it possible to build the CM9 source code on Cygwin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No, it is not possible. However, you could run a VM with Linux in it if your computer is beefy enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Yeah, like adrynalyne say,s you could run a Linux dist (maybe Arch?) in a VM (say Virtualbox). Due note, though, that it might take 5+ hours to compile depending on how "beefy" your machine is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodi524:
That's what I figured...just wanted to verify.

Unfortunately I don't have anything other than a small laptop. Not really enough power to run a VM.

What are the low end specs needed for a reasonable build. I may set the laptop up dual boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
linux VMs dont take a whole lot. it just might compile very very very slowly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Almost any build is a reasonable one. Just depends on what build times you want. Better processor + more RAM (at a high clock) = fast(er) build times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I wouldn't go below an i3, or i5 and 4gb of ram. Below that, and it is going to be miserable.

There are some buildbox services out there that may suit you better.

http://goo.im/faqs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
Running Linux through a VM for compilation is a horrible idea. You can install Linux side-by-side with Windows, and if you're not into going into the partition manager and knocking your partitions about you can always install via Wubi (I can't post a link yet, new user), that way Linux is installed in a file on your windows harddrive, but you can boot from it as normal when you start your computer. This way, the only performance loss you get is the slight one you get from running Linux from within a virtual drive that's actually on an NTFS (Windows) drive, but I don't think that will do too much of a difference, certainly not as much as a VM would have anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Why do you feel it is a bad idea?

I run two VMs at any given time on my desktop (Linux and Windows Server 2008 R2), and SSH into my Linux one to build remotely. I can do a clean build with ccache in 30 minutes (on a 5400 rpm HDD, no less). I think that is acceptable. On top of that VMs are easier to setup (and remove) than dual boots. Wubi is not ideal for compiling because it is size-limited.

Now, if you were to say that a VM is a horrible idea if you want to use Linux as your main OS, I would be inclined to agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
I might be outdated on the VM front, but I've always thought that you get some pretty noticeable performance drops with a VM, and rightly so because you're running two operating systems at once. If you have the option to _not_ do that, then I just think that makes more sense. Not saying that VM is an idiotic solution, just that you lose performance without any real point to it. Setting up a VM isn't that much easier than setting up Wubi in my opinion, and when it comes to space required you can always change that in the Wubi install if you know you'll need a lot of space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Wubi is limited to 30gb. Take it from me, 30gb for OS, apps, and source is not enough for AOSP. Not even close.

Downloaded ICS source is ~6gb. Extracted it is closer to 13. Thats without even doing anything or having backups.

There is a performance drop on VMs, sure, but if you have a decent computer, it is not that big of a deal. If I dedicate all cores (4+HT) and 12gb of ram to my VM, I can build in 20 minutes clean with ccache. Thats not bad considering. Imagine if I had SSDs. This is just for building, not a full time desktop experience.

We always remember that moment which makes us proud when we recall it.When I first got my Optimus One first thing I did was to try and root it I failed many times but succeeded when I found Gingerbreak.I still remember my heart beat raising and that tension in my nerves.It was all new for me.After rooting I slowly started trying few tricks like custom fonts,changing bootanimations etc…„But the most proudest moment was The successful installation of 'CWM Recovery' because I hard bricked my Optimus not once but twice trying to install recovery.I still remember the three sleepless nights i spent.Thanks to the warranty I got my motherboard changed twice.After that I evolved pretty rapidly.Nowadays I dont get sleep if I dont do anything dangerous.I bricked it soo many times I lost count on 25.Bricking became a Hobby for me.It happens atleast twice a week.Thanks to those Nandroid backups i dont have to worry about anything.

So that was my story.would love hear from you guys your proudest moment and also that one major mistake that made you say "OMG!! What have I done??"

Well, I've got some comments on that..

For whom is interested of knowing the OEM commands, in fastboot write "fastboot oem h".

"adb pull /dev/block/"""mmcblock123""" misc.img" won't work as this is a partition, not a folder.

I suggest using this:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/misc.img

Well, basically, my bootloader is locked, but for some reason, I have "HTCUUpdate", so it's kinda strange.

It would be great if anybody could post his misc.img of his unlocked bootloader so I can compare and tell what's wrong.

Cheers!
