generic cases you can get them for a buck on ebay with shipping. have used them on a lg o2x, sgs2, HOX and later today a sgs3. they usually fit really good. had no issues with them.

providing a link to the first case i found on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-5-Colors-...ain_0&var=&hash=item4166b8b83e#ht_4044wt_1018

I've ordered one for every phone I've had this past year they are super thin and have a good grip on the sides

But the white ones get super dirty really fast

I have the white version on the white galaxy s3 and it looks really good.

Now obviously there are other cases that look better, but none for a couple of euro/dollars/pounds or what have you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
How does it feel in your hand? Does it add alot of bulk? What's the fitment like? Does it attract dust/lint? Does it add any grip? Have you dropped it at all, if so, did it fare well?

I love these types of cases. I have had one for every phone I have had over the past year and a half(and I've had a bunch) Case doesnt add too much bulk at all and it feels great in the hand. The side grips are very nice

I just bought a couple of TPU case for my S3 as they are my favorite type of case. I have the ones on eBay that have a slightly textured X pattern on the back and a couple identical to the flexishield case on mobilefun. I've found the ones on eBay to be to loose and move around a bit when I'm adjusting the volume or locking/unlocking my phone ect and both of them have a problem with reflecting the color of the case back into the camera lens when using the flash.It makes for some pretty interesting photo effects.

The ones you linked to look good but I would advise against getting a semi transparent color. I'm thinking about getting one in black or white to see me through until Incipio release there NGP case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Thor:
Okay, I forgot the mention this before when I posted the images.

While they feel great and look really good.

I noticed NFC doesn't work with cover on, I think this might be the same for most covers and not just this one, but none the less if you use NFC a lot. Keep in mind you need to remove the cover to do so.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ficklecycler:
TPU cases typically don't fall off. You have to pop them off. They're pretty ideal.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Got my case today, super fast if you ask me considering I placed my order at 11pm on the 6th. Will definitely do business again with these guys. I bought it on Amazon from "SF Planet", they're out of Minnesota and I live in California.

So I checked out the case and the first thing I noticed is how thin it is, will add very little bulk to the phone. It's thick enough to hold it's form but thin enough to be very low profile. The case has shiny and dull areas on it....the shiny areas are very grippy, the dull areas not so much. But since the edges where you would normally hold the phone are knurled and shiny, gripping it should not be a problem. It's also got cutouts for the necessary areas, including both top and bottom mic's. Can't speak on the fitment for obvious reasons but will do so hopefully soon.

So far, so good.

People that buy this case in white, it gets very dirty! Only the left half of the wave design since it's a different surface. (matte vs. gloss).

They have a case on Amazon that's a pc+tpu. I ordered 2 because my brother actually had one on his gs2. They're really nice cases and are like $5 on Amazon. Funny thing is, he paid $30 for his when he got it at the Sprint store.

I just got my replacement phone today and everything on it is perfect except that it had some light bleed at the bottom under the capacitive buttons. It's hard to check everything at the store before you leave because the sales reps don't want to open a bunch of phones that they now can't sell.

My question is, is there anyone who has light bleed and are just gonna live with it and keep the device? I have no stuck/dead pixels, the device is starting relatively cool, and there is no screen separation or yellow spots.

I have a hard time making these types of decisions because of my ocd, so I'm just looking for some opinions. If you think this is a dumb topic or feel you have to bash me for it please just save yourself the time. If you don't wanna answer the question then don't. Thanks in advance to all who reply.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Mine has a tiny bit of bleed to the right of the capacative buttons, but nothing I can't live with, only noticable in a dark room really.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Koizuma:
Mine has a little light bleed as well, but I can live with it just for the fact that everything else on my phone is immaculate.

Swyped from my HTC One X using XDA Premium.

i only notice it when there is no light, doesnt bother me? doesnt effect the screen quality or anything. its all good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tarick09:
I have a light bleed to the bottom left of capacitive buttons, its only visible in dark places, it has annoyed me a bit, but i have to live with it ,anyway i have turned off the baclit completely using the script posed in the development section. It doesnt bother me anymore.

Tiny bit bottom left under capacitive buttons, only in dark room. No buggy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Thanks guys. I can't notice it in daylight either which is pretty cool. I'll have to wait for root on 1.85 to turn them off tho.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Well, it looks like the bleed is actually coming from the capative buttons, which turn off automatically when it's bright enough so you won't notice anything anyway :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dufort:
Hey guys, I just wanna make sure I know what light bleed even looks like! So when I tilt my phone forward and look down towards the capacitive buttons I definitely see light coming from them, but I literally have to tilt the phone to see it. It doesn't bother me at all, do most of you tilt your phone a lot when using it or is 'light bleed' when it creeps onto your screen from a normal viewing angle?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Does anyone get what looks like a row of lights shining up from the bottom of the display above the capacitive buttons?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I don't but at the top when booting there is a line that is definitely brighter than the rest of the HTC boot screen. I'm assuming that's a light bleed but it doesn't bother me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MichaelHaley:
Mine bleeds a little onto the screen when it's dark. My att guy says its a warranty issue covered for a year.

[HTC Sensation XL] anonymous_1997:
What phone is the endeavour
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
The endeavour is the One X

And if anyone fancies a go at porting it feel free, I would never attempt it because I know that it is going to be a massive amount of work, because you will have to resize absolutely everything, to get it to fit, I've looked at a full sense 4 port from the DHD and in my eyes it unusable because its not been resized at all and all of the icons are way too big... :D
[HTC Sensation XL] anonymous_1997:
Well before we go porting a full sense 4 rom hoe about we iron out the bugs in the sense 4 from we have now hey?
[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
i have no fear to resize...but for brick..lol
[HTC Sensation XL] anonymous_1997:

[HTC Sensation XL] anonymous_1997:

[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Probably something along the same lines as what has just bricked mine lol :mad: :mad: :mad:
[HTC Sensation XL] anonymous_1997:

[HTC Sensation XL] Alex-V:
@anonymous_1997: i changed some bin xbin etc files...after that..it also boots...it said (after boot) your phone memory is not right formated...format..? i say no...and shut down phone..(want go back to recovery and restore backup) but phone was complete dead...there was no way to bring it back...also not with riff box...so i replaced it with and display brocken sxl from ebay..and maked my display in...thats why i´m a bit carefully now...for such things it would be good to have sxl 2x ... :)

Thank you sir
[Galaxy S III General] accordex:
Read carefully :) use it with a bad cable or the wrong download and you will have hours of fun trying to wake your phone back up.
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Thanks for the heads up. I'm the kind of person who will ask questions just to make sure before I take on such a task since I don't have money to just go and buy another one on a whim if I mess it up so hopefully I'll never run into the wrong download issue. Coming from the A2, we used RSDLite to flash firmwares to our phones, very similar to ODIN although nowhere near as advanced and polished.
[Galaxy S III General] accordex:
:) np... most roms / kernels /...anything flashable will include an md5 check... use that as well...

Another heads up is sometimes op will say remove all ticks from odin... this refers to re-partition auto reboot and reset time...do that but ask first because I've flashed things such as stock factory images that generally need re-partition checked and op will either not mention it or say remove all ticks...
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Oh wow...a bit more involved with these roms and stuff but glad you brought this to my attention. Can't wait to get the first one under my belt so I can get the hang of it.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Is the GS3 unbrickable or not? I read with the GS2 flashing anything with an ICS recovery could brick your phone, because the firmware had a command to destroy certain sectors. Or something like that.

I'm asking because I've also read Samsung phones are pretty much unbrickable, unlike e.g. HTC phones which could get bricked for instance if you pulled the battery while flashing a radio.
[Galaxy S III General] accordex:
It's always a gamble.... vibrant was unbrickable...then Ics came along and coasted for a while now people are getting bricks due to it destroying the interal sd... my theory is always wait for wrinkles to get worked out...haven't checked in a while but I'm sure it's fixed or being worked on...Either way for the first few months stick with source based roms...

Anything with the word "ported" in it could be risky...eg...miui,cm9 and others.... but yes you will have much better odds with Samsung over other phones as they are much easier to recover.

Haven't kept up with GS2....

That is really interesting tho...where did you read that? I wonder if Sammy is throwing **** out there to mess up phones?

It always pisses me off when even to this day I read articles about ICS updates and manufacturers stating in official press pieces, the fact that phones like GS1 and equivalents "hardware cannot support" ics...biggest bunch of BS ever...when in fact the ICS ports that have been available for months now, and worked, until the recent problems, have made these phones scream and actually usable with very little lag/annoyances ...they are beyond capable of handling it. It's a marketing ploy and everyone knows it.

They've been called out on it plenty, it just get's swept under the rug for some reason.

[HTC Sensation] michaelgcarro:
Hello. I have a HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile rooted with OrDroid on it. OrDroid releases New updates VERY frequently. I have my homescreen customized to my liking.... (widgets, shortcuts, folders, etc.) And I was wondering if I could somehow save my homescreen layout so I don't have to spend a lot of time changing it after I do a clean install of an update. It is really frustrating customizing my home screens several times per week. Is there some file on the phone that contains the positioning of the items on the homescreen that I could back up?

Thanks, and pardon my noob-i-ness... This is my first post.:)
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
well, what i do is, making a full backup in recovery, full wipe, flash the new ordroid, after that, make an advanced restore, and only restore data from the backup i previously made. that restores my ROM just the way it was before flashing, all apps, home screen layout, launcher, settings, messages, and contacts. everything. although, make sure you fix permissions in recovery after that as well.

or, you can use titanium backup, backup all system/app + data, then restore all after flashing.

those two should work just fine.
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Simplest way is to use Titanium backup. "HTC Sense [Desktop]" saves your sense desktop configuration/layout.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
If the Sense version changes or the tweaks applied change, there will be lots of force close issues.

Simplest way to do this is change the default launcher to some other launcher that will let you save your settings (search; I know only of Go Launcher).

Backup the data for this launcher using Titanium backup before switching ROMs & then after switching back, change the default launcher again & restore the settings.

Although doing this will mean you cannot use tweaks on Rosie.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i know that, but he said he will be only using OrDroid so :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

that actually might not work...as there might be different widgets he's using as well. for example, i'm using Nova launcher, and when i only restore it from titanium backup, i only get the wallpaper, and few "system" icons, and widgets i had. and even if i restore the apps that i previously had widgets of on my home screen, it will end up empty, and i'll have add each widget individually....which turned out to pretty hard each time, since my layout is uniquely done. so ever since OrDroid 3.**, i restored Data, and never had a force close what so ever :)
[HTC Sensation] yahhboy:
+1 takes 15 seconds and I've never had issues, after restore my layout goes to just how i had it

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
I might have been wrong then, sorry.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
no need :) the OP now can see what method suits him best and try depending on his situation.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Same here, never had an issue, even my folders are the same.....
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
This method is the simplest

BUT

if the ROM base change you must NOT do an advanced data restore. Neither with Titanium Backup. When the ROM base change the best thing to do is to restore all manually, it doesn't happen frequently that ROM base changes so once in a few we must do our layout settings manually.

eg of ROM base incompatibility : Sense 3.6 to Sense 4, GingerBread to Ice Cream Sandwich, etc

Hope it helps!

:)
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
Correct. And shnizlon does change his ROM base often.

Note to OP since he'll be using OrDroid: when the first number in the version name changes, means that a new base is used. Or, you can check the changelog, and see if the ROM base is changed.

This thread has come from a simple layout backup, to a full backup discussion lol
[HTC Sensation] Kratos90:
Saving home screens

You can use the previously suggested backup in titanium backup, however, as an OrDroid user I know the base changes quite often so be careful because this can cause force closes, if the base remains the same it should be fine
[HTC Sensation] ludo1980:
Thank you so much for the tip, works great for my HTC One S - ViperC2 5.1.0 - HTC Sense 5.0

Tested also with Rom Toolbox, the concept is the same for any backup app. It's useful mostly because 90% of my apps are in SD and apps links get lost every time I reboot. Thanks again

I'm going to buy a slightly used LTE One X tomorrow from a craigslist ad and I'm quite excited about it. However, I have once been scammed couple of years ago by buying a water-damaged phone.

Can someone here please tell me where exactly to look for the water damage indicator? It's unibody so checking battery will not be possible.

Its not by the USB, so I would guess its either on the bottom of the headphone jack or in the Sim slot. I don't have a flashlight to check but those would be the only 2 places I could see it located.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clyzm:
So one of the big features on this phone for my is MHL capability. I love the concept of using my game as a mini console (SNES, GBA, PS1 games) and a streaming device for YouTube and Netflix.

My issue, however is the fact that the phone actually loses battery while connected to MHL. The reason for this is obvious; it's processing the app for both its own screen and rendering to an external while still powering its own screen.

I've done a quick Google search and the best I came up with is this:

http://dext3r.komodin.org/

However, the Tegra display selector is only for Tegra devices obviously. Is there any way of getting anything similar for our Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Maybe if you use a kernel which supports "Fast Charge" (disabling USB functionality to get 1000mA charging current), you won't lose battery while connected with MHL adapter?

I don't know if that function will disable the MHL port as well.
