Be nice if they did multi colour packs as well. The clear is nice though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thewhitetower:
Been sporting this case for about a week and a bit...great slim fit and easy to hold. Only issue I have is dirt getting into the 2 little holes on the top right (for a lanyard or mobile charm)...that edge is also slightly raised when compared to the other 3 edges...have had to take off the case every 2nd day for a wipe as I;m conscious of heairline scratches on the plastic...otherwise a great case!

This samsung official case seems to have many designs available, I hear squares, horizontal lines, in hong kong it's available for USD 11.50, but I can get it cheaper, the one I see is twin pack, both clear with horizontal lines and the other diagonal lines.

Quality looks good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
The quality is good. Especially for under $11
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fredbull:
Good idea ! I'm going to try as soon as possible because i'm fed up of dust inside the case.

Just picked up my genuine TPU case and I'm loving it actually, its a very thin piece of plastic but it does the job and I like the style of the phone so the case fights my liking.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
It is a nice case but not transparent enough for the blue. In the videos, the case looked non existent on the white but in person, the white version makes the blue look silverish. If they made it more see through it would be great.

I never tried the blue version of the case because it looks too bright of a blue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Yeah the blue one is a lighter blue. I like the look of the clear one on a blue phone though.

Just wanted to let you all know our experiences with the genuine Samsung ultra light case.

We liked it straight off, it lets you actually appreciate the design of the phone but I was concerned that there was no lip to the case to give the face a little bit of protection.

Well my wife's phone has had it's first test from our two year old daughter. She grabbed the phone and dropped it from about two feet onto ceramic tiles. The phone landed on its bottom edge. The phone was undamaged but the case has been damaged. Its not hugely surprising as its obviously a very thin case but I wonder what would of happened if the phone had landed flush on its face. I'm also inclined to think the lack of damage to the phone was more luck than the protection offered by the case.

We've deceided get some cases that are a little more durable but without going to the extremes of something like the otterbox. We've gone for the casemate smooth and I'll let you all know how we are getting on with them :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
I would say it was luck, no way this case would help on a face down fall on to a hard surface
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pcpona:
Just to share my experience. I bought the Samsung Galaxy s3 TPU case by Anymode-clear. I'm very happy with it, specially the fact that I can see the original design of my S3. Take a look to the pics. I bougth it from Amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I would consider a mercury TPU case, plenty of protection like many other, has been rated very good at a very cheap price, you can search for them on ebay.

there are fakes but you can easily tell the differences, if you need to know, just pm me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
I might order one to try as I do like tpu cases but I'm not happy with the Samsung ones overall.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
Very happy with this case too. Adds no bulk, shows off your S3.

Don't much drop protection.

I got a clear tpu case from eBay too and it just added too much bulk.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
It's a good case for around the house and office.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Snaproo:
I've been looking for a crystal clear case that is as thin as the SGP Ultra Thin but one that covers around the entire bezel. so far i've found this one to be the best in terms of looks. Modello case it has a nice finishing on it. but it's a bit thicker than the ultra thin. anyone know of a better brand ?

I wanted an otterbox it was definitely too bulky. although after a couple drops i wish i had it for maximum protection.... now i have scuffs

Nice review on the iPhone 5 carbon fiber. Did the gel seep through the gaps on the iPhone and into its internals? That's what I fear. It's too bad they don't have a full wrap for the S3. That bezel scratches easily!

Hi,

Has anyone tried the SGS3 with an Alpine iDA-X305 car head unit. It supposedly supports MTP but I can't get mine to recognise my s3.

Thanks

Harv
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrp10:
I've tried with my Alpine iDA-X100, which is also meant to support mtp according to the manual, but it's not recognised.

Have tried a workaround to mount external sd card as mass storage (see post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27282116#post27282116) so it sees it as a usb drive, but no luck with that either unfortunately. I think the problem could be with the S3, as the iDA-X100 works ok with ext. sd card in my friend's HTC Desire connected in mass storage mode.

Hello. Bought a Used Samsung Galaxy S I9000 2 days ago just for having some fun. Im facing a problem. I dont know whether this is a problem or just a bug as im on Android Ver 2.3.4.

When phone uses network to make call or message or use data connection over network screen start to flicker as some magnetic thing is placed near screen. Is this a bug or a Hardware fault ?

Thanks and im new to this forum if this is posted in wrong section please feel free to move it. Thanks.

you are picking up interference from somewhere , so best to check if you are on the correct radio firmware or your unit may have been repaired before and they have not housed back properly , since it is only picking up interference at close range with other radio frequencies

is im choosing correct files ? Currently my phones baseband version is XXJVP.

thanks. im downloading it now.

is there any chance of screen failing completely because of this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
It's just radio interference, i don't see how that has anything to do with failing screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] panjgoori:
flashed phone. but still the same thing. will use the phone as long as it will work fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Switch modem. I had this too, it happens when you have modem which is using too much power to make calls.... Which means you have rock solid and stable signal, but it interferes with the rest of the phone...Try JVQ or JVT modems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] panjgoori:
tried both. but still no luck. btw i tried JVQ Australia/New Zealand one.

edit: now tried both but still no luck. and one thing does it requires to flash full firmware including PDA,CSC or just replace the modem with these two which you named ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madushan92:
I also have this problem. But it occurs only when I'm connected to internet via 2G, that is when the phone is using EDGE. But when it changes to UMTS or 3G nothing happens
[Galaxy S I9000 General] panjgoori:
can i only flash modem/phone file ? is its possible ? or i have flash it with whole firmware ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
You can. You can use Odin for that, or Moble Odin or CWM zip flash. You have to be rooted for last two.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Apurv24:
Well don't think if this flicker is a firmware issue, might end up doing any damage to your screen or something...but if even after flashing a new firmware problems do not stop,you may better visit a service center and let the guys have a look at it

Dropped my xoom today, and the screen is unusable..however it still powers on and functions.

Was wondering if some1 could take the time to give me a "blind mans" step by step tutorial on doing a nandroid backup with clockworkmod.

Id like to do a back up...boot it up and pull the nandroid file from it via usb and restore it on my replacement tab.

What i need is after you boot into recovery, how many vol presses it takes to get to the nandroid and what combination of presses needed to successfully begin a nandroid.

this would be greatly appreciated. :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesamothman:
Hey There,

reboot your xoom,

As soon as you hit reboot, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.

Now from Recovery, using volume buttons, up and down, you can navigate up and down. The power button is to select your highlighted option.

so, once you are in recovery, use volume down button to go to "backup and restore"

press power button to enter that option.

select again backup, activate by pressing power button.

perform the backup. you will see a progress bar in the recovery bot. once done. reboot your system via recovery. (go back and reboot system now).

boot into xoom, thru file manager you will be able to see a directory under /sdcard called cwm or something like that. inside, you will see your backup compressed files.

download airdroid on the xoom, free app from the market, use it to pull that backup over wifi to your laptop or use direct usb cable to mount your xoom as external disk on the laptop.

Hope that helps.

You are on the old tiamat. Crap. I'm on the EOS one now. If I can find a zip flashable for the old tiamat one I can help you. But currently I do not have a laptop to flash files like recoveries onto the device through fastboot. Let me do some searching. See if I can find a zip for it.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
So once in recovery here is what to do for performing a nandroid:

press the down button 5 times,

press the power button once,

then press the power button again (it is now performing a nandroid), I'd leave it 15mins or so to be safe that it's actually completed considering you can't see.

Then in order to mount it to your PC so you can get the files across:

Press the down button 6 times,

Press the power button once,

Press the down button 8 times,

Press the power button once,

Then on your PC you should be able to see all the files on your SD card.

To power your xoom off:

Press down once,

Press the power button once,

Press up once,

Press the power button once,

Press up twice,

Press the power button once,

Your Xoom has now powered off

since you want to backup and restore the files on your replacement tab, dont you just want to backup the data folder? you can do that with this tutorial:

i would do: adb backup -all -apk -noshared -nosystem -f (C:\(file location)\backup.ab)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Yes, yes it does, looks to have done the trick...

this also worked too:

I think you could try do NANDroid via CWM. Ofc if you have normal CWM, not Touch and your physical keys are working. Boot into recovery (Vol up + Vol down + Power, wait a while, then 2 times Vol down and Power), then 4 times Vol down, Power and Power. Wait about 10-15 min to be sure that backup is done.

After this operations pull everything from sdcard via adb.
