[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
I've just gone to the S3 after having the original Galaxy S for over 2 years. No protectors. Never being massively careful with it. Dropped it onto the pavement from chest height at least 3 times (dinged the outer plastic bezel on the last drop) but the screen was still just as new, no stratches.

There's no way I'm paying for a beautiful screen like this and then sticking a piece of plastic over it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] electric0ant:
I'm sorry but i fail to believe people who claim to have no scratches on their screens at all, even after 2 years.

They may not be big scratches or ones that are obvious, but I will bet that if you clean the screen really thoroughly and then tilt the screen under bright light you can actually see very faint tiny marks. These scratches are there, although practically invisible i just annoys me knowing that they are there so i use a screen protector. maybe its just me being really overall critical about these tinest details but its my opinion.

this is from my own experience using the S2, one x and other phones with gorilla glass (i take very good care of my phones) and other sort of glass. and also from buying 2nd hand phones from users who claim like people here who have no scratches but then these tiny ones are there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Poker gypsy:
I agree I know people with the s2 and they have scratches on them nothing major but they are there, the gorilla glass you will not see them unless you look from an angle
[Galaxy S III Accessories] disclaimernotice:
I've only recently got my S3, so I can't say much about it yet. But I've had the Galaxy S for two years without a screen protector and the screen is still scratch-free. I've dropped it(the galaxy S) several times and the metallic finish at the sides have worn off but the screen has remained unharmed. So, if the s3 uses the same quality of gorilla glass as the S, then not using a screen protector should be fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Poker gypsy:
It's your phone do as you please but don't come back here and start crying or complain about scratches! You was warned
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarrenCarnall:
wow, some people are REALLY unwilling to believe other people have phones that are scratch free. Unbelievable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shk1:
Just placed a cheap screen protector on while waiting for the XtremeGuard to arrive. So many prints on it already and it's only been a few hours. I would use a screen protector just for the sake of keeping the screen in a touch/marking free condition. Feels the same to me and its a good protective layer so that can't hurt.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mickeko:
It's kind of funny that both "camps" actually think they are "right" in some way. Each to his own, use one or don't. Either way the phone is neither indestructible or unscratchable. I don't care if someone has a protector or not. I can only say why I've made the choice to have one, and I've done that already so there's really not much for me to say.

What really, really bugs me is when people try to enforce their own personal opinion on others, like "you're destroying this super awesome phone by not doing as I do" as if it's some personal insult that someone puts or don't put a screen protector on. It's not like you're gonna pay alimony for a kid because someone didn't have a condom on the phone while talking to you. Tell us why YOU do as you do, nobody gives a crap about your opinion regarding if someone else use one or not.

I'm sorry buti think of it asa cheap insurance, stop and think, what if it falls out if your hands and gets scratched ? In sorry for trying to save people money, yes screen proctors are ugly and some has a lot of smudges, but think how ugly its going to look if by chance it gets scratched or cracked

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mobius999:
Well as far as camps go I do see 2 in this thread, but they aren't talking about the same thing.

One group is saying smartphones with gorilla glass or the GG 2 which is what the S3 is sporting do not scratch easily. You need to WORK to scratch this ****. Serious kinetic energy and a very hard or sharp surface. The videos of people drilling them or slamming a nail into the surface are not fake.

The other group is advocating screen protectors...but referencing OTHER devices with inferior materials, not the actual point of this thread. Car nav screens? Really?

As you say, go with what you believe either way. But people really should stick with the material being discussed and stop referencing other inferior product that actually needs the extra protection. It proves nothing, nor does it help the OP make a decision on the superior material he's dealing with.

I thought at the end I should mention it's amazing how many people THINK they have gorilla glass on their phones due to something they read or a sleezy sales rep, but really do not. Food for thought if you got scratches.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] electric0ant:
I really refuse to believe people who say their screens are scratch free after a couple of years because I know people with iPhone 4 and S2s and other with gorilla glass, who think their phones are scratch free. The screen does look fine until you give it a proper clean and then look at an angle under bright light and you will see very very faint scratches. It's just most people don't inspect their screen with this level of scrutiny that a few of us do (me included) to actually notice these faint scratches.

Yes those video are fake, or at least staged to some extent, gorilla glass is scratch resistant, but if you properly try drilling and hammering it, it will definitely shatter the glass. (Running the drill head over the glass lightly does not count as drilling it.)

Also you do not need "serious kinetic energy" to scratch it, some sand will easily scratch it.

I am not referencing inferior glass here, I am still referring to gorilla glass.

Even within the people referring to gorilla glass there are two groups, one group (the majority) thinks their 2 year old device with gorilla glass is completely scratch free. And the other group who inspects devices under much higher scrutiny and knows that without the screen protector gorilla glass will still pick up very faint scratches which is only visible under close inspection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pggarcia:
Does that mean the majority won't notice the scratches when buying later?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sormus:
I personally got the screen protector for my GS3 because I felt the glass was too slippery (not a bad thing, just wasn't used to this) after coming from a phone that honestly did need a protective film.

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lazeeboy85:
I've never felt the need to use one I just make sure nothing else is in my pocket with the phone. Apart from that the only place it will be is in my hand or on a table charging. I just don't put it in a situation that's likely to damage it. I know accidents happen and I dropped my sgs2 a few times however if the stories and pics on the Web are true a screen protector or case might not be much help if the gs3 takes a plunge :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] C0NAN:
I just checked my one year old HTC Sensation which has never had a screen protector but has always been kept in a leatherette belt case. I cleaned up the screen and used a flashlight to check the screen at various angles and it's 100% scratch free. It has never been placed inside a pants or shirt pocket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Geekess:
I don't know about that "Gorilla Glass being scratch resistant". My 2 yo daughter managed to scratch my SGS2 quite easily in seconds. It was the first phone where I thought a screen protector unnecessary because of the glass. Boy was I wrong.

So for my SGS3 I am hunting for a good screenprotector again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ansextra:
I have a 2-year old Droid X that's the same way and I don't care what anyone says about my being blind to minor scratches. It still looks like new!

I did get a case for my S3 though...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] electric0ant:
ok, admittedly i probably got a bit carried away there, but i think keeping it in a case would help in protecting the screen as well.

thinking over what i said, i think i should have phrased it that in normal use without anything to protect the screen (with a screen protector or case) even gorilla glass will pick up scratches even if you are normally careful with your phone. you have to REALLY take care of it if you don't use a screen protector.

everyone knows that sand will scratch the glass, i've also heard so many people say "where would i pick up sand? i don;t go to the beach." well you would only need a few grains to scratch the screen and you would normally not notice that, and since sand is used in construction and grit probably will scratch the glass as well you will realise that its not difficult to pick up a few grains of sand somewhere.

screens have come a long way since plastic screens and are a lot more scratch resistant but a decent screen protector like the sgp nano optics is barely visible, and just as smooth and fingerprint resistant as the original screen and just adds that extra protection just in case something does happen.

also the oleophonic coating i think can wear off over use to using a screen protector would help retain the resell value in case you do wear it off! (i think i read a user on here said his iphone 3gs had a patch where it wore off and they could see that it picked up more fingerprints where the coating had wore off)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brandlore:
Ive had mine for little over a week and have the a tiny tiny tiny nick/scratch in my screen its not really noticeable until you get close, I can feel it with my fingernail. I babied the device until I picked out a case. So yeah you can scratch it. Better protect that camera glass while you are at it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hin83:
My Galaxy S3 also got some minor scrathes after just 2 weeks of normal use, so now i will put screen protector on it just to be safe
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Serinety:
Okay, so those of you who use screen protectors remind me of my grandparents who used to put sheets over all their expensive couches.

We can agree that sheets on couches look ugly.. right? We can also agree that couches with dirty marks look ugly.

In both cases.. don't we live with ugly couches? so whats the point of buying nice expensive things if we just cover them up? Sure I can take the

cover off and ogle at how nice it is, but ill be sure to quickly cover it up so as not to "damage" that look.

you can't say that a phone looks NICER with a screen protector, in the best case scenario it looks "decent".

I would rather pay the 7.50 a month insurance and get a replacement if something should happen, and feel confident carrying around the phone and showing it off, rather than spend 20-30 bucks for a screen protector that I will have to replace (because if I am anal enough to buy an expensive

screen protector, i am anal enough to put on a new one when it becomes sufficiently scratched) and another 20-30 bucks for a case (or more if

you get one of those dumb as hell otter-box's - "hi.. look at my new brick phone, isn't it awesome!")

so ~100 bucks in accessories to protect the phone from possible damage, ~100 bucks for a replacement from Asurion should I damage it.

You cant say "well you pay 7.50 a month for the insurance, so its more than ~100 to replace it" . No, because you anal "screen protector" and "case" guys know damn well you are not going to opt out of the insurance on your $600 phone. so its a non issue.

To each their own tho! but don't try and flame people who would rather use the device as it is and not ruin it by covering it up.

This is exactly why ALL Android phones should come with Bootloaders unlocked. It's such a fail safe for end users to fix their phones.

YEAH I know companies don't like users flashing ROMS, but this is Android. If companies have an issue with it, then don't make Android phones. Samsung obviously doesn't have an issue with that.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE MY ATRIX!, but it still blows that we needed to do all the end user work on our time to make this phone great...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
His original problem was simple to solve. Gingerblur used a bootstrap apk to boot into cwm (this is talking before we even had official gingerbread like a year ago). That bootstrapped version of cwm wouldnt allow him to flash anything new. All he would've had to do was flash a version of cwm with rom manager and boot into recovery. (Probably should wipe as well). U guys mucked him up good.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leperkuan:
Pretty sure his phone was mucked up from the get go. He had err 2 since I replied...

Verizon Compatibility

Is there a way to make my Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus work with any of these docks? The versions on Play are claimed to be compatible with GSM/HSPA+ only. However, the $90 version on samsung.com says its compatible with Verizon and Sprint models. should just be a software lock, right? Can this be hacked to work on my Verizon phone? Also, that car dock is really slick but I cant find it on samsung.com. Is the ebay version Verizon compatible?

Thank you for posting this Rydah. If I recall correctly, isn't there also an edit that can be done to one of the system or framework files that also does this without having to modify build.prop?

[HTC Sensation] colosos70:
I'm on Ordroid 9.0.0. with Bricked kernel.

Using the Beats headphones that came with the Sensation XE (bought separately, i'm using a standard Sensation) plugged into the headphone socket, I notice much clearer and crisper sound using the Beats effect and there is a noticeable difference between each of the other equalization modes. The bass is increased drastically on the SRS setting, so much so that it's more powerful than the Beats setting.

But when i plug the same headphones into my Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset there doesn't seem to be hardly any effect and the Beats icon does not appear in the notification bar even after changing to no effect and back to Beats.

Also, when directly plugged in, in the notification drag down there is an entry as to which sound effect i am currently using and it can be changed from there. When using the bluetooth headset this is totally missing.

If you could get the same functions via bluetooth this would be an excellent improvement!

If there would be 'bitrate improvements' it would mean it would re-encode the track to another format. Maybe it's better to ditch the whole idea of 'bitrate improvement' thru sound rendering.

OQ: This is a collection of presets for the htc music stock player.

For all other questions: At this moment the OP says enough, Sense 4 base build 1.11 Ville_C RUU. It's what you get, for now.

Possibly later on there will be more versions available also for different devices.

After a long period of patience for you all.. We also had our frustrations, we really did! It's close to final. Beats Mod v5.0!

It's version number at the moment is 5.0 'beta' so meaning, not everything works.

What does not work then?

- Basicly all other EQ's then Beats Audio.

Well, what does work?

- Read 2 lines up.

So that is all, in the 5.0 final version we hope all EQ's will be fixed. For now: Beats MOD ~ v5.0b http://bit.ly/OcFJTD
