XDA won't let me post links... memory house dot com

can't even post a pic.

I ordered this on Monday afternoon at 3pm and received it this morning.

The fit of this OEM case on my S3 is PERFECT. In some ways I think this should have been included with the phone.

The case is so slim and the fit is so sleek, you can probably put another case on it... the type that you enclose it like a leather pouch or a belt clip pouch, which is what I plan on doing.

It's so thin that I can't even feel it.

With the case on, I get better grip of the phone... as the phone itself was getting a little oily. It's very lightweight so you don't even notice it. There are slots/holes for the jacks and buttons. It doesn't even look like there is a case on, it looks like it's part of the phone cover.

I'm loving it!

Forgot to mention that this is the price for TWO cases, so you can buy one and sell the other, or keep it as spare or share with a friend. The "graphic" design of pattern on the two cases are different.

Nice Car Dock Option

There's a nice upgrade for the Infuse Car Dock if you don't like the suction cup mounting.

PorClipUSA makes a series of vehicle mounts along with a series of device-specific holders. They don't have a powered S3 dock yet, but they do have a gadget that attaches to their vehicle mounts and also attaches to the back of the Infuse dock. Here's a pic of the gadget:

And here's a link to the gadget.

The way proclip works is that you buy the vehicle mount for your particular car separately from the device mount. In this case, you would just buy the vehicle mount here, then the gadget, then put it all together with the Infuse Dock to make a really nice package. That's what I've done, and it works very well.

Landscape Desk Dock

The Sync Desk Dock works fine for the S3, with the limitation that it does not launch the Desk Dock application. I've solved that problem by installing NFC Task Launcher and applying an NFC sticker to the dock.

got the otterbox defender on my local att store, couldnt be happier, tight fit, total protection, i removed the clip so i fits better on my pocket with the holster on, win
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tarheelsmj12001:
Not sure if this has been posted but seems like it could be worth it. Its a battery charging case for the S3, I believe its for the international version, but maybe it could work for our phone as well. I have been looking for something like this since the iphone has one. The cover for the screen is the only thing I do no like about it tho. If its not compatible, feel free to delete this post n I apologize.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] baudi11:
That 3500maH case would actually make a nice desk dock if it had some sort of kickstand like the 2400maH one does. I don't like the 2400maH one, though, because it's charging cable is on a little wire rather than being molded into the plastic case.

2 extended battery options

Anyone seen either one of these batteries or heard anything about them, the mugen is something I've used before for my touchpro 2 and even my Evo4G, their new offering is expensive and a monster from the sounds of it, but its 4600 mAh

The other one is 2200 and seems Amazon is selling them for $25 for 2 batteries and a charger:

The case and screen protector combo...

So I originally bought a few TPU cases as well as some silicone, alongside with screen protectors that fit but not all over due to the curved edges.

So I purchased this case though it looks novelty for the price the material and fit is amazing. Then I got Fosmon Matte screen protectors which I was content with but the little parts it does not cover did bother me a lot. But together the silicone case cover up the sides up to the screen and does good job covering top and bottom as well without adding too much bulk. I would recommend these to anyone on a budget and make your phone look good rather your a fan or not.

I can not post links but you can search in Amazon.

Brick & Mortar Options

Unlike many of you, I didn't have the foresight to preorder any accessories, so when my GS III arrived and I was leaving for a business trip the next day, I was forced to go on a scavenger hunt to find acceptable options locally. As many have mentioned, the local options were rather limited.

I ended up finding a simple white Belkin TPU case that I have been very happy with at my local VZW store. The packaging said it was silicone, but it's definitely TPU. The case doesn't have cutouts for the side buttons, which is what I usually prefer, but the raised button areas are easy to find, and are align perfectly and easy to depress (but not too easy). Another advantage is that the case wraps the entire phone, so the top and bottom are not exposed to damage and the screen is protected if you lay the phone face down. As you might expect, the case is pretty thin too.

I know there are less-expensive TPU cases available online, but if you need something immediately, this case is a pretty good option. FWIW - I also hit the local AT&T and T-Mobile stores, and the most compelling choices where some Incipio cases at T-Mobile, and the Case-Mate POP kickstand case at AT&T.

I also bought some screen protectors from the VZW store, but they were the anti-glare type, and I ended up hating the way they made the screen look all sparkly. Unfortunately, none of the local carrier stores had non-anti-glare screen protectors, so I ended up picking up a ZAGG HD SP at my local BB. I have hated ZAGG SP's in the past because they are just too gummy for my taste, but the HD line is much smoother. It's still softer than acrylic SP's, and has that orange peel look when the screen is off, but that's the price you pay for better scratch resistance. Clarity is excellent, and all-in-all, I'd say it's a perfect compromise between slickness and scratch Resistance.

The only downside to this combo so far, is that my TPU case tends to rub on one of the corners of the SP, causing it to occasionally bubble up a little, but that seems to be happening far less now, and it hasn't cause any issues or any dirt to get under the SP.

Anyone know if a car dock will be released for the S3? I know they have the generic one, but I prefer one that has the power setup etc... like the 4g or the one for the s2.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ansextra:
I don't think anyone knows if Samsung will be releasing a specific car dock with power etc. In the meantime, the Infuse dock works well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stalked_r/t:
Didn't know if there was a normal time frame before things like that dropped. I ordered the Infuse dock this morning. Just a bit of a purist, but I guess if it fits and works there's nothing wrong with it. My s2 dock pissed me off regularly because it was a royal pain in the butt to get it out of the dock.

Hey guys, I need a little help!

There was a way with root explorer to change the behavior of end call button.

There was a directory in which we can change to end the call with hardware button.

Can anyone please tell me which was the directory, and what should I change.

I know that I saw this in one thread, but I can't find it.

Thanks!

Hi guys, this Tutorial is mainly intended for looking into some other concepts like GUI of Android development. The concept of "Toast" would be actually covered.

First you have to do this (Create a HelloWorld app) : [TUT] Making a HelloWorld App Step by Step w/pictures. - Tutorial created by rezo609

After you've created your first HelloWorld app, its time for some additional tasks!

(NOTE:- Make sure you've set your AVD already)

I know some of you guys are wondering what a Toast is, well here's the answer: Click Me!

Starting development :

And that's it :D

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Its made as simple as possible and omitted some theories from the Original source. You can get to it, and see the xml parts explained. :)

Tutorial now featured at XDA-Portal : Here

Thanks to the Author. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blazingwolf:
So I decided to look at this. I've got everything as you have above but I have errors.

Current errors are in the following lines:

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.[COLOR="Red"]id[/COLOR].go);

helloName = (EditText)findViewById(R.[COLOR="red"]id[/COLOR].helloName);

The error states: id cannot be resolved or is not a field

If I follow the listed fixes it places lines in the R.java. However, I then get errors on go and helloName for which there are no listed fixes.

Still looking to see if I can find it myself but wanted to tell you about this to see if it was just me (probably) or a missing section in the info above.

EDIT: Sigh. It's amazing what missing one line will do to you. This was my fault. Forgot to add the Press me string and it created these errors. Working great now. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pmapma1:
please check the imports ...

if you find line import android.R; ... remove it and then clean build....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
There you are :D

Actually we should edit all the XML files first like android:id="@+id/go" and it will show error in XML file for sure (Because id can't be found anywhere) but finally when you code the java file, and when the id is referenced, all errors will be gone :)

Anyways the R.java file can't be modified manually. It will revert back to original state if you do so, that is even if you apply the suggested fixes by Eclipse.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
Actually unnecessary imports will not cause the application to malfunction. It will only use more resources based on program. Eclipse will give a warning to remove unused imports, as its not used anywhere. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TommiTMX:
Hi there,

I've been wondering this so I thought I'd ask here since it seems nice and n00b friendly ;-)

I was wondering if you could tell me if there's any direct benefit to creating an OnClickListener in Java instead of using the android:OnClick="" attribute for the layout and having it go to a specified method.

Thanks,

Tom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
Benefit?! ... Hmm !!

It all depends upon the logic of the programmer that he/she is comfortable with. Actually there will be many methods or many ways we can create for the same process. But as this is just a Tutorial/Illustration application, we don't know exactly what its effects. Maybe in real time application there maybe some beneficiaries. Just we need to sort it out to know.

I'll definitely try, but can't guarantee when because I'm also a learning candidate in Android app development. So making Tutorials, that I've already learned and tried. Once I've learned about it, I'll of course include the Tutorial for it. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Flowyk:
why we need try/catch for one-way trigger? ... what in toast can throw exception?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
Well, I just checked myself by removing the try-catch block, and yes you are right as no exceptions are actually caught. Anyways the code is not actually written by me, and if you checked the original source you'd have known that. :)

And Thanks for the point mate. Maybe I'll review the code from next time onwards.

Hey,

I've had this N700 for about 9-10months now, and never had a problem with it. I noticed while browsing the net on it tonight, it kept crashing all the applications.

It then restarted itself and is now locked into a reboot-loop (I swear if I hear that sound one more time!) - I have used a pin and reset it, but it does nothing.

Is it cmpletely dead, or is there something I can do?

Help! - this is my phone and tablet both dead with 10days. I must have a touch of death.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
I really regret the day I switched to WP. What's up with all these platform instability since WM 6.5? Why do they keep on changing stuff that worries poor consumers. A lot of people really need to be sacked from MS for making stupid decisions.

I really don't care about the stupid looks they announced.....all I care about is being supported.

Microsoft has confirmed that WP8 apps WILL NOT RUN in WP7.x. How many developers do you really think are going to design for WP7 now? To tell y'all the truth, there will be no support for WP7.x when WP8 comes out. I need support for apps not stupid looks.

Currently we (WP7.x) users are still fighting and praying for apps to come out, now with the announcement of this, I guess all ideas will be dropped and shifted to WP8...WTF! Is this some sort of Marketing strategy or what? Why didn't they decide all this kernel change before releasing WP7? We would have all be able to upgrade peacefully. With this I really think they'll change the kernel again when WP9 comes out and the cycle continues again.....why Microsoft? Are you guys some college and high school dudes with no PhD holders amongst you? Thus accounting for the stupid decisions you make to hurt our feelings and steal our money. I don't buy phones cheap because phones here are not carrier based and on contract....they are all unbranded and expensive. When will I ever get a WP8 device? My current phone is less than 14months old and you really wanna make me buy an expensive phone again or still use my device like a Symbian phone? This is just stupid.

I now understand and know that using a WP7.x was really a beta test.

I'm really pissed and just gonna throw my Stupid WP away and even switch. What's up with all these stupid changes and instability with the platform :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] 64GUNSHIP:
I was unaware a PhD was required to be capable of of making intelligent decisions. They had to make these changes to remain competitive, and the current hardware is incapable of supporting the majority of them. Chill out. If you weren't on a 3 year contract, this wouldn't be a problem now would it? It's just as much your fault as Microsoft's..
[Windows Phone 7 General] v_garg:
WP7.x apps WILL work on WP8 so why should developers stop developing at all for WP7.x when WP8 is still 6 months away? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
What I see is, developers will try to make use of the multicore capabilities of WP8. With this, you can not develop an app for both WP8 and 7.x and they'll will probably be developing those new apps on a WP8 device later this year. You just can't develop a multicore app on WP7.x. The android boys now have something to laugh at....FRAGMENTATION....welcomed at last.

What happens after WP7.8 upgrade? NOTHING? DEAD END I guess. Your fresh Lumia 900 is obsolete now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Get over it. Its progress that has to happen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] v_garg:
Also

Kenzibit it seems you are using HTC HD7 released in 2010, October which will make it exactly 2 years to date till WP8 so I am not sure what you are complaining about....
[Windows Phone 7 General] crav4speed:
That's not true. Only apps that use native code will not run on WP7.8!

Absolutely agree!!!

To everyone who is complaining, you guys bought your devices without any guarantee by AT&T, T-Mobile, Samsung, HTC, Nokia or Microsoft that these phones would be upgradable to WP8. You people knew that WP8 was being released this fall and a whole slew of new devices would be offered with better resolutions, nfc, NT kernel and native support yet you still went out and bought these devices. You have

NO

reason to be upset about this because it was entirely your decision to buy these devices before first knowing what would happen...

So stop whining, enjoy what you currently have and wait till you're eligible for an upgrade... if you want to switch, you can do that, too!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
The thing is my phone is not a contract phone so this 2 year thing ain't affecting me. I'm not a carrier based phone holder...bought my phone $500 back then and now they want me to buy a $1000 WP8 device? I'm broke already.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Even if - all future ports between iOS, Android and now WP8 will be in native code. See the problem there?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
I told y'all the cycle will repeat itself oneday...

Look what just came out:

"While current Windows Phones – even those that just launched this year – will be cut off with Windows Phone 7.8, future Windows Phone 8 devices will get at least 18 months of software updates. However, Apple has historically provided iOS updates for its various devices over a much longer timeframe – the iPhone 3GS, introduced back in 2009, will receive iOS 6 later this year, plus minor updates after that, which makes for over 40 months of updates. If the Windows Phone team sticks to its yearly release schedule, 18 months would mean only one major update plus six months of additional minor updates.

Right after 18 months, So called WP8 will be ****ed just like WP7.x now.

Read the cooments too.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
It's been TWO YEARS!!! How much Starbucks are you drinking chief? If you put $20 a month in a jar you can afford a new phone. If you sell your current phone you will need even less money to get a new Windows 8 Phone. You cannot buy a phone and expect for it to get the new kernel update two years later. MSFT got screwed on Windows Mobile because it clung to it for too long. They could have done a reboot long before the iphone hit and they would have been in a perfect position... but they didn't. It is far better for them to do this reboot now along with their Surface and new desktop OS than keep clinging to Windows Phone 7.5.

Anyway you've been b-tching about Windows Phone for months. It just may be time for you to move on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ I bet you no one will be developing for WP7, it just doesnt make sense. WP8 will just be easier.

Its all cupcakes and strawberries when Apple does it, but Microsoft does it and its a problem?

The writing was on the wall on launch day, no one would believe me though. There was absolutely no multi core support from the beginning. This had to happen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
Grow up complainers. WP7 is still the best OS out there. 7.8 is just an added bonus. Do we really need NFC and dual cores? It runs well on single core. WVGA although not fantastic is perfectly fine for mobile screens. Not far a tablet but for mobile screens is fine. Microsoft can't be expected to magicialy upgrade your hardware specs over the air and will only provide only the features that current hardware can support. WP7 will not die when WP8 comes out. It will just be the 2nd best OS out there (WP8 being the 1st) ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] crav4speed:
I honestly would not be surprised if Microsoft forced developers to use C# when developing apps and native code when developing games. They can't afford to piss off early WP7 adopters!

The SDK will ask you what type of app you are developing and if you choose "app", you need to use C# and if you choose "game", native code will be allowed. There are a number of ways to enforce this as well, an example being Marketplace Certification.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dbeattie:
I just picked up another HTC Trophy for $109 on ebay so I wouldn't have to renew the contract for the other line on my account. But not being able to afford a new phone if you're broke is more of a personal finance issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Hmm, yes they can, and they did. Its not the first time they have done this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
This thread is full of misinformation.

1. Windows phone 8 apps will NOT run on WP7.x

2. WP7.x apps will be automatically recompiled to run on WP8. They did this to claim they still have a 100,000 apps in their app store for WP8.

3. C++/XAML will be supported on WP8, to not break WP7.x apps on WP8.

4. WP8 apps will not, cannot be recompiled to WP7.x

5. WP7.x uses the CE Kernel!. It's a completely different kernel for WP8.

WP7.x is a deadend platform with deadend os. The only good thing is developers won't have to redo their existing apps, however all developers will start learning the new Windows RT API.

I don't see anyone bothering with xaml anymore, hence wp7.x apps will dry up fast. Everyone will be switching.
