I think it looks great "closed". Not sure how I feel about it once you have to flip it around the back once opened and in use. It doesn't sit flush like it does when it's closed.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking but I like the sleekness of the phone and don't care to add anything to it. Think I'll opt for the Samsung ultra slim cover.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
I love this case!!!!

i like to flip the cover over, so I can grip on to it...doesn't feel like it'll slip out of my hand and increases my grip on the phone

I am left handed, so I just hook the bottom part in my thumb where it attaches on the side and makes a great way to hold it

also, the battery cover part is slightly thicker so it comes up over the camera lens, so you dont have to worry about scratching it when putting it on a table

Hey guys iv got a USB jig sitting my drawer, for those of you that dont know... a USB jig is used to reset the custom flash counter using hardware rather then a software mod.

My question is does anyone actually know if its safe to use the JIG on the SIII, last thing I want to do is short it out and activate the self destruction feature we have seen floating around the forum :p

EDIT: With further research, USB jig does not work to reset counter although does work for entering download mode.

It stopped resetting the counter on the second Gingerbread bootloader for S2.

The main feature of the Jig -reviving Softbricks - still works across all Galaxy devices, so I wouldn't throw it away anytime soon.

Unless I'm seeing things I thought I reset the counter last time with my jig. I will test next time to make sure.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
I'm on my second one x and can't remember having this issue with my previous one.

But next to the volume rocker there is a thin piece of plastic that is attached to the back shell. On mine it is very very squishy and almost feels like its not connected. Makes very noticeable sounds as well. More of an annoyance than anything but it almost seems like its harder to adjust volume as the rocker seems In the side of the phone deeper.

This the norm for everyone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you are describing with the thin plastic piece. I don't have any issues with my rocker. It's got a much lower profile than other phones I have owned but I kinda like it, makes the HOX more streamlined.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
Ya sorry. Hard to explain its the thin strip to the left of rocker closest to screen. That is all soft and pushes in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Ah I gotcha. Yeah I just checked mine, it gives a little bit but it's nothing that would worry me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] csjo90:
Hi all I recently flashed the eaglesblood ics update for my g2x to update from miui 2.3.7 gb. I did the factory reset and wiped delvik cache before installing the zip from my sd card like it says to do. However after I was done and hit reboot system now it goes to the lg logo then the team eb logo (android guy with wings) and stays there I cannot get it to do anything at this point. If I try to boot to recovery it goes to android recovery that doesn't let me select any options. Any ideas are greatly appreciated thank u all.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JoePapaDon:
same problem

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday and I've tried literally everything and it won't work. I think my problem is that I put the programs on the internal sd. I can't remember which one you said you used but if you used an external sd, try switching the clockworkmod to the internal only and see if that changes anything and vice versa. I'd actually really like to hear from someone who has solved this problem cause I'm completely stuck right now.

What happened to you is a frequent problem when people use rom manager on the G2x. If you search a bit you'll find rom manager does what is commonly referred "fake flashing". It's not a big deal, NVFlash will replace the stock android recovery. You can use rom manager from then on, with the NVFlashed recovery there just in case.
[HTC Sensation] jonas330:
Hey

I bought my Sensation XE today and I alredy rooted my old Desire Z.

So..I Revolutionary set my XE S-Off and I wanted to flash PG85IMG.zip which I got from here ( www[DOT]htcinside[DOT]de/htc-sensation-anleitung-fuer-root-und-s-off/ ).

So I flashed it via Fastboot correctly with an positiv answer that it was done correctly and now, when I press restart it continously boots untill the beats logo comes and then it reboots in an endless circle. I have no Recovery installed and I dn't know what to do O.o

In my Opinion I need a correct PG85IMG.zip to correct this Issue.

I'm googeling for about 4 hours without finding any helpfully answer.

Can someone help me or give me the right PG85IMG file to try ?

Please help me O.o

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
I bought my galaxy nexus on eBay recently only to find out a couple weeks later that it has the charging issue where it thinks its charging when its not

I looked up the devices warranty and it expires next year in February

Now does anyone know if Verizon will actually give me a replacement device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Well they will clearly know that you are NOT the original owner of the device. So they have absolutely every right to NOT honor any warranty obligations to you. Did it cross your mind and call *611 and ask though? :rolleyes:

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
Dude get the f*** out of my thread, you don't have any contribution then you do not need to answer

It's been my experience with other carriers that they will honor the warranty regardless of the owner as long as the device is not reported stolen.

Verizon will not unless I can come up with the order number which all I ha e to do is contact the seller and ask for it, I'm going to instead open a dispute with the seller due to the fact that he sold me a faulty device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Take a chill pill :D

Good luck with your endeavor. As Verizon won't honor the warranty without that information, I hope you can get it from the seller. Needless to say I think it should be on the seller and not Verizon's warranty to have to resolve your issue, unfortunately the world doesn't usually work as it should. Either way, I hope your issue gets solved. Although, if it's just the charging board it shouldn't be so hard to get it fixed yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
Just having a rough day at work

It should get fixed per the seller, his ad in eBay stated it was in perfect condition and perfect working order which it wasn't when I received it but I blew it off because it wasn't that bad cosmetic damage

Easily disputed and I'm sure I'll win

But taking it to Verizon was a simpler method
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] magus57:
I was originally thinking about getting an international Galaxy Tablet, but as much as I'd like a tablet as a phone...I know it's not the ideal solution for multiple reasons (lack of warranty, primarily).

Anyway, a friend can get me one brand-new for $250, and it'd be a decent upgrade from my HTC G2. I know development for it isn't the best, and ICS probably won't arrive at least for another month (and it'll suck going back to Gingerbread after having used ICS for a bit on my G2), but I don't want my G2 to completely crap out and have to buy a new phone on a whim like that (and it'd be nice to have the G2 available as a backup).

Not interested in the Galaxy II (I get that it has better features, but it just looks/feels so cheap to me), and the Galaxy III is a nice phone, but I won't use half the features/power and it'd be an extra $100 or so. Nothing else on T-Mobile really appeals to me.

That being said, other than the previously-mentioned lack of development, are there any issues with the Blaze that I should know about? Or any major reason (other than development) that I should go with the GS3 instead?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
If you've only ever used a AOSP style CM capable device (like me) you may regret going to something that only runs TouchWiz. Sure, you can change the launcher, uninstall swype and install the better version, and root it to uninstall a bunch of apps you don't want/need... but there are other things you can't change.

The lock screen, phone call screen(s) and some other things are remarkably slow and unresponsive, and is this ridiculous attempt to bring ICS looks and features to a poor gingerbread implementation. I don't understand how a company can make a phone with dual 1.5Ghz cores perform some things so slowly when my 1Ghz MT4G was responsive as hell. The phone feels "nicer" in the hand than some other samsungs I've held but that's about all it has going for it. Oh, and it supports T-Mobile's WiFi calling.

And yeah, the development is going REALLY slow and will likely remain so, even with the generous help of the guys that are making moves on this phone now.

If I had the choice again, I wouldn't. I will never again purchase a phone that isn't already supported by some AOSP style ROM. I thought root was enough and I'd get by with it, but I was wrong.

But that's just me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] magus57:
Well then, wasn't exactly expecting to hear that on this of all boards - it's definitely good to hear, though, as I didn't realize how serious reviews were about the device being bloated like that.

My only other choice I'd be remotely interested in would be the HTC Amaze, and not that I don't like HTC, but I've read the battery life isn't the best, and there's issues like backlight bleeding and whatnot. I guess I'll just wait to get the GS3 and hope there aren't any major issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Yeah, sorry :-)

For the price, if the community were more active, I'd say it's a great deal. But if it isn't active now, the sad truth is that it won't get more active down the road. And I wouldn't wait for the likes of me to actually succeed in getting CM9 running on this thing...

As a comparison, the HTC One S has been around half as long and has like 10x the interest and activity. Just walk around their XDA Android Dev subforums and you'll see what I mean. Mind you, the 1S has the same CPU, memory, and other misc. features. The storage and battery are fixed, but that's the only downside. It's got a slimmer package and more accessories available. The blaze is dead in comparison.

TouchWiz just irritates me, but I make do with the phone, and maybe I'm being picky. Ask if you can test drive the thing... insert your sim and make/answer some calls... do some basic things and just know that's pretty much how the device will always be. If you could live with that, then so be it.

For a T-Mobile compatible phone, I'd just get a new Galaxy Nexus, or a 1S. The Galaxy Nexus will be the first to run Jelly Bean, and you'll also have support for a fairly long time from the likes of the CM team and AOKP, et al. It has some great features too. Just food for though :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] magus57:
I guess I'll try and look into the Blaze in person more before I totally dismiss it, then. After hearing numerous issues with the 1S (between random reboots, screens failing, really hot temperatures, data/service issues, and even stuff as weird as the capacitive buttons being completely unresponsive - all reasons people have returned it, according to a friend at T-Mobile), I'm staying away from it, at least for the moment; I like everything else about the phone, however, and don't care about lack of expandable storage or removable battery. Not a fan of the lack official accessories (and accessory choice in general), however, compared to most Samsung phones.

And nothing against the Nexus but...it just doesn't appeal to me. I can understand any of the numerous reasons to go for one, but it just doesn't stand out to me in any way; I'd much sooner get the Galaxy S 3 for the better specs and camera alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
I believe the Nexus also has various issues. I honestly don't understand where are all the pessimism is coming from. We are getting the official ICS update, so CM9 is likely to get to us. We are also funding a developer to help him buy a Blaze and improve his ROM. I'll admit the development is slow, but that's to be expected for a carrier specific device that got no advertising. Descent due development will come in time I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sparkie6point0:
That's funny, but that's exactly how I feel about my Blaze. I thought rooting it to get rid of all the bloat would be enough, but I want more, and there just isn't more out there, despite the efforts of our lovable and hard working dev's. And you're right - the call screen sometimes just isn't responsive at all and I wind up being unable to answer calls, especially if it's coming from an app I'm already running, such as a game. So from now on I'm coming to XDA and doing developmental research before getting a phone. Right now I'm leaning towards a Galaxy S2 (even though the S3 is a faster phone and all - it just does not feel right IMO).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] namaui:
While the lack of development is discouraging to "early" adopters, I really love the form factor (can't stand the 4.3" screens or bigger) and the build quality is surprisingly nice.

Having used CM before on another device, it is weird not having it on here. The lack of customizability is a bit frustrating. But I'm patient. I really think the price point, performance potential, and friendly size will make this a winner once ICS and the appropriate sources/information are released.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] magus57:
So I got a chance to play with one a little bit (basically brand-new, just factory reset)...I'm not seeing the sluggishness/delay you guys are talking about, particularly with the phone calls (receiving or placing). Maybe I'm just used to the delay/sluggishness on my G2 that I don't notice it, but I'd imagine removing all that bloat (and removing stuff like built-in ringtones) would help a decent amount...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] namaui:
Yeah, I have none of the sluggishness issues either. Stock may be bloated but its pretty damn snappy. I've used a MT4G with CM7 and my Blaze is much more responsive overall, it even handles flash without breaking a sweat.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] rbeier1221:
I'm really happy with this phone despite not having much rom support. Coming from a defy there are two things that I don't miss: battery pulls and random reboots. Never happens on this device. For me that makes it worth giving up AOSP...at least for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sparkie6point0:
Just out of curiosity - I've heard that internally there are many similarities between a Blaze and a Galaxy S2. Has anyone ever tried throwing an S2 ROM on their Blaze and, if so, what were the results? Just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
they are similars but don't recommend something like that iif you don't know what might happen. Because flashing wrong kernel/rom can brick peoples phone.

sent from my batcave :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
The B4G is specifically very much like the T-Mobile GS2 (The T989). They are both based on the msm8660_surf board, with the same CPU, GPU and many of the same sensors. There are differences, specifically with the panel (display) and a few of the sensors. The differences are enough that it doesn't quite work on our device. Yeah, I've tried ;-)

What I've been doing is specifically trying to port a number of the things for our device into the ICS kernel available for the T989. My goal is to come up with a bootable ICS kernel for our device. I think that's gonna be the biggest stepping stone to a working CM9 or AOKP build for our phone.

The B4G has nothing other than specs in common with the other SGS2 phones on the market, save for maybe the AT&T SkyRocket. They all use different CPU's and GPU's on a different platform all built by Samsung... and thus different sensors.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sk622:
I've had a lot of phones starting with the Nexus One (actually the Eris but I try to forget). So far the only issue I see is the ability to "crack flash". IMO sooner or later you'll have a phone that just won't have every developer swooning over it. if for no other reason than there are so many phone out there. (remember the threads when the Nexus came out?)

I bought this phone because it met all of my needs and had good specs. I had the G2x and the Sensation (sold on gave another to my son) but ths phone is better. The extra Ram is noticeable difference IMO and the size of the phone is right for me.

We could have all opted for the Galaxy SII and I'm sure everybody looked at the threads and saw what was going on so........participate........and relax a little.........the phone works very well.

I'm planning that if the HTC Golf port gets completed, and then ported to CDMA, (One can hope right?}, that with the approval of the developers I could re-do some things to make it different. I was thinking of like making it look like it was really released as an update from Virgin Mobile. Like by adding the new VM boot animation and sound. I already have the boot animation, the sound file, and all the applications and images that Virgin Mobile has released. I have been trying to get the boot animation all situated on CM9. I have been looking all over the internet for things on how to make the boot sound play with the animation, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any idea on how to have it work? Oh, by the way, the CM9 I'm using doesn't have a boot sound with the ROM, or I would have just named the ogg file the same and called it a done deal. Sorry if that really doesn't make much sense.
