I'm going to give the official flip case a try once I finally get my Verizon version of the SGS3 here in the US. I'm bummed out that it doesn't have a magnetic clasp or anything to keep it closed, but at the same time it's a full on case so the phone should obviously handle drops much better. That all being said, the phone is gorgeous and I'm not gonna want keep it hidden! I have the full protection from Verizon so whatever happens to my phone I'll just get another one anyways.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] onmike:
I'm still on the fence. At this point though I'm leaning more towards no case.

I actually think my white S3 looks better with a Matt black case, because I like the white border around the camera, flash and speaker which contrasts against the black case, and then the black border around edge of phone, I mean not everyone will like that but I dog

I doesn't peel off easily and yes the side is wrapped. So far all the film that the shop doesn't love residue when it is removed.

It is a rough textured. Sort of like mildly used sand paper.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
It doesn't look bad as an idea. I suppose the choice of the material is crucial as you may end up leaving residue of the sticky material on the phone when removing the vinyl wrap.

I suppose good old 3M could do the job, even the heat treatable ones that shape around the curves of the phone.

Hey guys!

It has been a while since I have stopped over here to the DROID 3 community and peeped a "Hello" in so I thought I would say Hi and get ya up to speed on where I've been. :P

So I last posted around uhhh maybe 3 weeks ago here and as some of you know I recently bought a Droid 4. I have been in the Droid 4 community for all this time, and a lot of people from the D3 community moved to the D4 like me.

Most went D3 > D4, but I went D3 > Bionic > D4, but nonetheless I got a Droid 4.

If I have to say anything the Droid 3 development community was the NICEST community I've ever had the privilege to have an experience with. I know I didn't have my Droid 3 that long, but in the short 4 months I had one active, I had my best experiences. I developed, I leaked updates, I never got b**ched at for asking a simple question (P.S. Droid Incredible 2 community) and EVERYBODY was nice. Still is nice.

I miss coming here. I seriously do. I reached out to this community for prayers for a personal problem, and I almost NEVER post anything about something as serious as that was when that happened with my nephew and his grandmother. I almost NEVER post something that serious but I had grown so fond of all of you I knew I could trust you guys by posting it. I was right. I will most likely never meet a community as nice as you guys are.

Even though I had bad luck with the Droid 3, I loved my Droid 3. If anybody wants a new phone, a Droid 4 is a great option. I love mine!

I wanted to stop by and say that I will try to come around here more as I know more about the Droid 3 and Droid 4 then just about any other phone out there.

I'd also like to know how everybody has been doing. Just to say, my family is fine and recovered from our bump in the road back in early May (or Late April; I have a hard time remembering the time period) and nothing serious has happened since then.

So I thought I'd post this and let you know about my whereabouts and say Hi.

Don't hesitate to respond! :D

--Sam :)

[Motorola Droid 3] pm2gonzales:
Maybe off ebay and then unlocked it, which is what I was planning on doing since they released that update which unlocked the GSM functionality.
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
LaZiODROID,

I bought mine off of here, on XDA in the marketplace. Then I loaded up the latest leak at the time, no unlock required! It just comes up and says unknown SIM when it boots up... Not a huge deal. So far it's way better, and it gives me better bettery life. I think the Bell XT860 really liked being on 3G, but this one doesn't mind going onto EDGE when 3G signal is bad (which is most of the day for me in the office)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Android Noobie:
Hi All,

I have the above and was thinking of rooting it but have some questions.

1/. If i root the phone do i also have to unlock the bootloader or is unlocking the bootloader only if i want to install a custom rom?

2/. If i only root the phone how can i make a backup of it in case i need to restore it to factory settings?

3/. Can someone recommened a custom rom and it features? I read alot about cleanrom.

4/. I also read about CM9 what does this do?

5/. One click unlock is that ok to use?

6/. What is the main difference when 1 roots there phone against not doing it? Does it change anything when installing? Does it give me extra abilitys with the phone?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] E.Cadro:
1/. If i root the phone do i also have to unlock the bootloader or is unlocking the bootloader only if i want to install a custom rom?

No you do not have to unlock the bootloader unless you want to install custom roms or recovery

2/. If i only root the phone how can i make a backup of it in case i need to restore it to factory settings?

You can you use an app like titanium back up to back up apps and data

If you unlock your bootloader you can install a custom recovery and create a nandroid back up which you can restore your phone to in the event of a problem

3/. Can someone recommened a custom rom and it features? I read alot about cleanrom.

This I really a matter of preference

4/. I also read about CM9 what does this do?

Cm 9 is close to vanilla android with some extra goodies like themes to name one

5/. One click unlock is that ok to use?

Should be fine just make sure to use the one that matches your current software ie 1.73 or 1.85

6/. What is the main difference when 1 roots there phone against not doing it? Does it change anything when installing? Does it give me extra abilitys with the phone?

Root in short gives permission to access and modify things in the system of your phone ie read and write privileges

Hope this helps ;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
1. You only need to unlock the bootloader if you want to install a custom recovery and rom

2. You can use an RUU for that, otherwise you need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery in order to make backups (like restorable system snapshots)

3. The 3 versions of CleanROM are pretty good. Very stable and I'd say that all the features work that are supposed to. CM9 and AOKP are still in alpha at the moment and not everything works quite right. I can't speak for any other roms but I'm sure they're in the same boat as CleanROM

4. CM9 is a custom rom based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). It's completely stock android but with lots of new features and tweaks. Right now it's in its 4th alpha. From what I've seen it's usable as a daily driver but there are still a lot of kinks to work out.

5. Yes

6. Rooting the phones gives you (and apps that you allow) access to the root file system of the phone. You can install custom bootanimations, remove carrier bloat, and do lots of other things that you wouldn't normally be able to do. I'm not gonna go over everything because that would take awhile

[Android Apps and Games] Danielrogers:
Is that even possible to make expiration dates as for Android or iOS apps at all? I don't remember any app using the expiration date before. And as I know, developers are not provided with such a possibility of expiration date use for free or lite versions. There must be something else? Anyone?

Second the idea that this is the best keyboard so far. Running on S2 with 27mb memory.

I don't have swype anymore after this one.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Just to clarify, this is a free upgrade if you own Swiftkey already. Swiftkey (for phones) and Swiftkey Tablet (for tablets) are separate products, but Swiftkey to Swiftkey X to Swiftkey 3 have all just been app updates.

I'm not quite getting their upgrade numbering scheme though ;)

8 = service just started

33 = service has been running > 5 minutes

Seriously, Swiftkey's ram usage bloated up when they introduced Swiftkey X, there's a lot of complaints about it. Personally it isn't a big deal for me, but if you're on a low end phone it would be.
[Android Apps and Games] Chase.Barnett:
Yikes! I almost wish that I wouldn't have looked..

My phone has been up for a little over 13 hours, SwiftKey is ticking along great after chewing up 58mbs.

It's not affecting my razr's performance at all, but that seems slightly excessive.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
I'm happy about it. Tested all of the betas as they were released and was greatly surprised to see my Swiftkey X upgraded to Swiftkey 3 automagically.

Best 99 cents ever spent, that was during the big Android app sale. =)

+1 on the RAM usage though. This should be better managed. A reboot quickly solves this, but I find it ridiculous you have to do that for a keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] the13thing:
For me this is the best keyboard out there. The dictionaries are perfect either in English or Portuguese and the option to have up to 3 dictionaries is just great! The only bad aspect about it is its ram usage.
[Android Apps and Games] thronnos:
There shouldn't be a memory issue with this keyboard. I've beta tested since swiftkey X and AFAIK that would be a device sided issue. You can submit a bug for that with them. But as far as the standard for this around 10-15mb is standard. If yours is higher or lower that's device sided (all devices are different and handle memory different). With that being said anyone who still uses any other keyboard... And a space bar is just sad. The space bar is outdated and so is swype. I've used swype and touch pal and I type 10x faster with this. Just my opinion. If you hadn't tried it then get the free trial. It is Exactly like the full version just with an expiration on it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabraoui:
Can't seem to have a clear answer... Will VOIP (such as skype, Viber...) work in the background on WP7.8?

In my opinion, this makes a huge difference for most.

If you want to compare Windows phone (the Lumia 900 for example) with other same standard phones... The 900 is amazing. However, it majorly lacks VOIP running in the background.

Recent WP customers may have known the risk of not getting WP8... but the skype thing is something else.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if it's official... will WP7.8 support skype in the background or not?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFZ1S:
Probably not, Nothing is written in stone as yet with regards to what will be in WP7.8, Other than the new start screen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickfarr:
Fingers crosses it will but no one can say if it will or it wont. We'll just have to wait till they release more information on what is in Windows Phone 7.8
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
It kinda is... During the summit they clearly said there is more to 7.8 but that's not what they had gathered for.

Here found this:

http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/06/20/new-nokia-apps-zynga-games-to-make-your-lumia-even-better/

Part that is of our interest -

"Elsewhere, you may have read about the new Windows Phone 8. How does this affect your Lumia? Well, you are not being left out. All Lumia smartphones will be getting an update to give you some of the features of Windows Phone 8, including the new Start screen, as well as a pattern of ongoing updates going forward."

When the summit was summarised, it was told that we will get continuing support from OEMs. I am inclined to believe that OEMs will dish out a range of updates for another 12-15 months or so for WP7 to bring it as close as possible to WP8. When WP8.5 is released, WP7 will truely be dead, which is OK.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFZ1S:
Nokia have definitely promised ongoing support including some of their own little extras for camera and ting, No doubt MS will still be forwarding the odd update here and there but we cannot say for definite whether Skype will have background support in WP 7.8. :fingers-crossed:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pillsburydoughman:
They made no mention of it, the only thing confirmed coming to WP7.8 is the new start screen. Whether voip or location based apps can run in the background was not mentioned. So far it's just the skin change that is confirmed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tabraoui:
I really hope so.

But it's the lack of information/confirmation that is worrying me :eek:

In my opinion, it would be more logical for MS to reassure WP7.5 existing and future users as much as they can, if they want to keep selling windows phones now (till WP8 is out). Instead of keeping them in the dark... Unless it's truly just a new start screen (and a couple of minore improvements)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
Even if Skype doesn't get integrated, the app itself will develop and evolve. I think WP7.8 will be a little more dev-friendly and hence don't see why VOIP in background wont happen. However, it isnt confirmed as you guys said. We only have to wait 2-3 months more ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The really stupid thing is that it would totally be possible to add the most basic of "background" functionality - push notificactions - today. Yeah, that's not as good as the truly integrated experience talked about in WP8, but it's a lot better than what we have right now... and it's been possible (at least, to a limited degree) since launch!
