okay! i placed my order on Flex HD. I haven't got my phone, yet but i'm exchanging this with Ultra Crystal. Is anybody using it for now?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IINexusII:
hey guys, i got an S3 Flex HD screenshield by mistake due to shipping errors from where i bought it from, so i am selling mine on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320939853305#ht_1242wt_1139

thanks for looking :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alanmw86:
bumping an old thread...

is the consensus still SGP flex HD being supreme as far as wet protectors go?

any other brands besides the 3 listed up top?

looking for one that has good clarity and not to much of that tacky feeling ( I know aren't we all?) haha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tehsprayer:
I hated the flex screen protector I would recommend to get like the nano clear or a dry screen protector or get the glass from spigen when boue comes out, white is already out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
I second Best Skin Ever. For 8.99 you get the entire full body cover and its very good, clear, material. I've been using Best Skins for over a year now and I continue to be impressed with the cost and quality. Their new material is also HD quality now. After using BSE, I don't understand how people can spend 15+ dollars on protectors that aren't even as good as a BSE. To each his own though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alanmw86:
I'm going to be popping out the plastic screen protector on a defender and using a screen protector...I really don't like dry screen protectors too much, I hate lifting..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bagbug:
iShieldz is the best IMO.

Wont ever buy a Zagg again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tspx23:
i've been getting xtreme guardz it may not be the highest quality but they last me around 6 months and they're only 1.99
[Galaxy S III Accessories] John P:
Ive had the SGP one on for the past month, it seems ok so far, although it was delivered with small imperfections on the film, though im being quite fussy as its doing a good job of preventing scratches.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DIESEL88:
I use skinomi and it fits from edge to edge... Easy to apply and the cut outs line up perfectly... No bubbles! You won't regret it!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pointystar:
I'm going to bump an old thread since this is the first one I found on Google. Is the Flex HD the best one so far? Or the Skinoomi. Also what about Xtremeguard? They're only about $1.99.

Another question I have is what's the point of screen-protectors on S3? As far as I know, Gorilla Glass 2 won't scratch easily.

Last question, how can I protect the bezels (since they chip easily) without using a case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] danvee:
Xtremegard is great for the price, and the service is flawless.

'Easily' is a relative term.

A grain of sand or dirt in a pocket or on a finger, rubbed against the screen will scratch any GG version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I've been using ismooth since I got my s3. Best ones I've used. Its a little tricky to get it 100% on right but once its spot on you're good for awhile. Lifetime warranty replacement no questios asked. I've gotten a few sets of replacements cause my fault not theirs
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RedheadTarn:
Best I have used is the just like glass from DBA cases.

Some people have complained about Tasker not working on Slim ICS 4.1. I have just updated and it is working fine. I would have posted on the Slim ICS thread if I had been allowed to do so.

Note that Secure Settings Helper must be re-installed.

I followed the same process . installed tasker and secure settings from market, but no avail. went back to 4.0 and its working again

Yes .. I had reinstalled helper also and it still did not work..

finally i did a complate wipe and started from gingerbread -> CM9 -> Slim.. and tasker is finally working

I wish we can have multi boot options. There are just too many good Roms and restoring nandroid backup takes too long. What do you guys think about developing dual boot option for our Nexus? I wish devs take a look at this concept.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Check out the app Boot Manager from the market. That's exactly what you're looking for. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
This ^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jxr94:
I imagine it runs well on the galaxy nexus due to the roms running off of the virtual sdcard which is really the internal storage. Is this correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] insink71:
Multiboot

From the accounts I've read, BootManager only works for ICS and previous on the gnex..

I am entertaining some options to multiboot this device. Might have already been done, but we got ubuntu one preview, android (of course [particularly jellybean & beyond] multi versions [MIUI, CyanogenMod, etc]), Open WebOS, possibly futures like B2G or Firefox OS & Tizen on the horizon..

and other devices multi-booting (Nexus 7 does).. so I think I might can throw something together possibly.

Now that ics has been out for a while, is it a good idea to have this on?

It's useful for scrolling in 2d apps. Although on xda makes the pictures not come up. I only use every once in a while.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I've chosen to not use it. It was useful in the early days when not a lot of apps worked well on ICS, but nowadays it breaks more than it fixes in my experiences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I don't use it. I find it makes many apps laggy. Though it does boost a quadrant score.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
In theory, it would be better to the let the GPU render stuff as it takes the strain off the CPU. Too bad it breaks many apps, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
nope dont use it. does more problems than good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
I use it, never encountered any of this, EXCEPT for a GUI glitch in Power amp. Besides that, every works perfectly.

On side note, back when the Samsung Vibrant first got ICS (somewhere around December), I found that many apps just crashed when using it, such as trying to pick out a wallpaper in GO SMS. Nowadays, nothing besides that Power amp glitch I've noticed. And battery life is somewhat better too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
The United Airlines app used to have problems when this was on -- would show up as an incredibly tiny rectangle on the screen, as if scaling was totally thrown off. I was flying a lot then, so I unchecked the option. The United app has been updated a few times in the past few months, and I tried checking force GPU, and the latest version of the United app works again... I've got 104 apps installed, and the only other one I've seen that complains is Flipboard -- got a message once, yesterday, that it's not designed to work with forced GPU and that I should turn it off. I ignored the message, though, and Flipboard seems fine -- as does everything else I'm using.

I'll leave it turned on until / unless I run into incompatibilities with apps that I find important...

Sounds like you made a boo boo while uninstalling bootstrap ehh?

Idk lol trying install ics but logwrapper keeping me from doing it... I deleted apps but replaced them now its just the logwrapper...

i'll look but original path ....

Did you delete logwrapper and logwrapper.bin? I think suppost to deleate logwrapper and than rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper

Nope both there

If rooted you could alwzys delete logwrapper abd than rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper. If google how to remove bootstrap thats what comes up, but also ive seen alot of people say it threw em in bootloops. Id probably have matts utility on a comp before i tried,idk, or you could wait a few days for official ota, can you boot ti gb?

Most likely have to fastboot back to stock, only thing i can think of.

I unisntalled the bootstrap - is it somehow possible to ensure my logwrapper is ok?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sk842018:
Did u just install the bootstrap app? You have to delete the recovery files not just app
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
get logwrapper from ota file and patch it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Sure - I uninstalled the app and replaced the logwrapper from the backed logwrapper.bin... But I want to make sure that the bootstrap is completely gone and nothing is screwed...

You get any bootloops after deleating logwrapper and renaming logwrapper.bin to logwrapper??

No... Everything seems fine...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wolfdog_1987:
I'm still mostly a noob to this, so sorry if this post is worthless, but here's the files you requested.

Android version: 2.3.6

System version: 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US

I had bootstrapper installed, so if i understand correctly, "logwrapper" is the hijacked one, and "logwrapper.bin" is the original one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sasg000ch:
is there anyway to push the logwrapper file to the phone w/o it booting up?

with adb or something. I dont know a ton but I am bootlooping after deleting the logwrapper.bin on accident. and i havent had anyluck restoring with rsd or the razr utility.

EDIT: I had razr utility 1.4 dl 1.6 and everything went according to plan
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wolfdog_1987:
If you have an aftermarket recovery, i use razr bootstrapper and have it set to boot to that first every time in case something happens, i think you can use adb from there, otherwise i dont know what to tell you.
[Nexus S General] g1user101:
Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.

So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).

I'll upgrade at the end of the year,

hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,

to fit screen.

I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.

Because they've not delivered my Galaxy Nexus yet :-) I will admit that I will miss the size of the Nexus S, but after using the HTC One X, SGSIII and the Galaxy Nexus for a site I write reviews for, the ol' NS does feel its age, certainly not as fast as any of them, but it's still my favourite phone, because the size and form are pretty much perfect.

- everything on it works (no GPS ****, no lack of storage)

- runs latest OS just fine (for now)

- has a preferable screen size of 4" (I hate new screen sizes)

- doesn't cost me anything

So basically, I'd get a newer phone just to play games on it, nothing else (and even then playing on small screen sucks, I rather run a game on the PC then). So screw new phones, maybe I'll glance at the new Nexus at end of the year or if somehow Google ditches the next Android for NS and the custom ports for it would run poorly.

[Nexus S General] mio15:
Hi,

I still own my Galaxy Nexus because it just works for me in all day use.

There is almost nothing to miss on this Phone. When 4.0 was out it was such a boost for this device. The only reasons to upgrade would be more screen real estate or faster processor. But besides all these great quad core handsets and HD Screens. I will still keep my Nexus S for the fact that this is the first Phone I owned for more than a Year. I will keep it as a sort of Collectors Item, besides my Nexus One and Dev Phone 1. Also it is the GT-i9020 Version which is much more rare over here in Europe.

The next thing to get will be a Nexus Tablet (if this is the Name it gets) or a Galaxy Nexus. Hope my Nexus will carry on till this point in time.

greetings

mio

Because I don't have money, and this Google flagship phone has the most number of awesome developers! I will only make a shift after my contract ends, for now I don't really see a reason to upgrade.
[Nexus S General] Andrew421:
Honestly the nexus s is my favorite phone that's out right now. I've loved the nexus line since the nexus one and i'll keep the nexus S until the next nexus is out. It's a fast quick phone on any rom even stock it's development base is always growing. They're porting Sense over slowly. Plus it's vanilla android. I mean sure sense has wonderful visuals but there's nothing like the stock android look and feel and being able to build from there. Overall the nexus S is a Freaking amazing phone even though it's slowly becoming dated. :D
[Nexus S General] EleventhHour2139:
No money :(. Would love an upgrade though, but it would have to be a nexus device.

A year later I don't want to have device envy with as much as smartphones cost. Bad ass software and voodoo colors/sound keeps me happy :).

Tbh though, if the next iTerror has a larger screen and nfc, I'm gonna have one helluva time saying no. They put us to shame in fluidity, updates, battery life, connectivity, longevity, and accessories. Hard to fight all of that :banghead:.

I've got my money ready, and I really do want a faster phone, as my NS is starting to show its age...but if new Nexus phones are coming out, I'd rather wait to see how much better than the GN they are...
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Because i'm only on the 8th month of a 24 month contract? Also, it's not like the latest phones can do things mine can't.

I would love to get a hold of a dual or quad core with 1GB+ RAM just for that final bit of fluidity the NS just can't handle in every situation, but there are bigger things to worry about (like the lack of a solid data connection from my provider...).
