[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
Gutted. Noticed it today. A small chip on the bottom of the phone. It's been in a case since day one, no idea how it is happened.
[Galaxy S III General] sav_uk:
It's not so bad :)
[Galaxy S III General] asasisa1:
i have got one of them too. it happens at boil and and very high temprratures
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
I know, but its there and its bugging me cause I paid £500 big ones for it!

and with the protection I have applied, shouldn't really have chipped :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
not sure what you mean my friend????
[Galaxy S III General] airf0rce:
Silver paint chipped of top of my phone as well, a bit larger piece than on yours. It this really common?
[Galaxy S III General] Ohamn:
Looks looks a fabrication issue to me. Probably a defect in the frame that have developed into a chip breaking away! :(

I would have gone back to the store just to see what they said about it.

Who knows, maybe they can arrange something!?

Yeah, I believe in Santa Claus as well!:p

[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Take it back, get a brand new one :)
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
I sent sammy a tweet, lets see what they say!
[Galaxy S III General] sav_uk:
I know mate, it'd bug me too but I'd put it in a case that covers the bezel so I don't have to look at it anymore. As long as the phone is working sound I'd be okay with a few cosmetic marks.
[Galaxy S III General] achillies:
got similar chip as well 2 weeks after i got mine plus my usb port burnt too. sammy asked me to pay another S$250 (already paid $900 for the phone). i refused and wrote something on their facebook plus sent an email to them n got it replaced. good luck.
[Galaxy S III General] luigig:
What did you do to get your phone and usb port burnt?

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Is the chip a piece of plastic or only paint?
[Galaxy S III General] BobFL:
Mine has small but clearly visible scratch on the power button...
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
difficult to say, when I run my finger over it I can barely feel anything. I'm more inclined to think that the paint has peeled off
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Who cares as long as the phone works? :p
[Galaxy S III General] Stea1thmode:
He cares and I don't blame him, paying £500 for a defective device is unacceptable.
[Galaxy S III General] manee:
I too has one chip off and one misplaced glue and the back cover started creaking , how can Samsung do this to such a flagship model. I consider it more cheap feel the even S2.
[Galaxy S III General] winwiz:
yup
[Galaxy S III General] bazzazz:
I guess this really is common. I had the same problem a small chip on the top left corner right near the glass , showed up in less than 2 weeks of getting phone.. The phone definitely never had any impact or anything. Took it to **** Smith Store Where I purchased it and had it replaced with no issues..
[Galaxy S III General] airf0rce:
Wow, that's the exact SAME spot as on my SGSIII. Altough I'm afraid getting replacement won't be nearly as easy in my case.
[Galaxy S III General] Amazing_Antony:
I have a tiny scratch like 1mm, it has been there since I got it out of the box, I can feel it but its real hard to see, maybe yours had these slight blemishes to which developed... anyway, I'm not to fussed by the spot I'll keep an eye on it though...
[Galaxy S III General] djsteel3000:
I have owned this phone for 2 weeks and its been in a case from day 1. I have not dropped it or misused it in any way yet the paint is coming off the silver frame of my GS3. VERY disappointed Samsung
[Galaxy S III General] jhericurls:
Samsung so should of used a metal band instead of using plastic. Its not like its a cheap phone.
[Galaxy S III General] _bottle_:
Got a chip on the top left corner as well like a few people here.

Can't get a replacement so have ordered a silver paint marker and giving it a shot :P

[Galaxy S III General] emtan:
Me too. Can anyone shed a light on this? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III General] blackrainbow:
I have the white one and noticed yesterday the paint peeling at the side.
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
What kind of case did you have on it? Problem with most hard cases is that they do not cover over the edge at all, which is why I personally prefer TPU cases.
[Galaxy S III General] gurde:
I am disappointed by this.
[Galaxy S III General] jgalvez21:
same issue but i have blue version =-=
[Galaxy S III General] me_ashman:
Mine was exactly the same..pissed me off totally! But then I dropped it and now you can't notice the micro paint chip on the bezel because of the smashed screen.

Sent via my smashed GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] gurde:
I contacted Samsung on twitter, told them about the problem. They called me, letting me know they will replace the phone and they will pay for the transport. It also took only 3 days, considering that in Romania this almost never happens, I can give them a + for this.

I suggest you contact Samsung for replacing your phone.
[Galaxy S III General] dajumper:
how dude! how did you do this?

I have one in the exact same spot.. been in my Ringke case since five days in.. :'(

I bought mine yesterday and it also has a small chip on the frame, but its barely visible unlike others in the this forum (pic attached)
[Galaxy S III General] port76:
I to have a chip on the inside of my time it must be some sort of defect or something :mad:
[Galaxy S III General] Matt190191:
Hey My S3 has somehow chipped at the top of the bezel It is in no way worse than the ones posted on here but it is noticeable. I have had an otterbox Commuter case on it. Must have happened when i was taking the case of f:(. The chip on my phone is most noticeable Under direct sunlight. I agree they should have made the phone with a metal bezel instead.
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
mine has a small scratch/ paint drop at the bottom of the bezel too. I'm quite sure i didnt scratch it as it was in a casing all along.

cannot really notice it (which is why i only found out after i read this thread) so its fine for me
[Galaxy S III General] rocker1198:
I also have a chip on my phone near the top microphone. Its slightly bigger than urs. Dont know where it came from! Looks like the paint comes off too easy!
[Galaxy S III General] Matt190191:
Samsung say they will replace mine but not sure whether its worth it or not.
[Galaxy S III General] m7ammed:
Need to change the whole screen if you guys want to fix this, basically half the phone
[Galaxy S III General] fbloise:
Mine too, left hand corner. The chip came up with apparent no reason as I treat my phone like a princess, if you know what I mean.
[Galaxy S III General] jonstatt:
Odd that it seems to be mainly white phones. When the iPhone 4 first came out, users complained that the silver edging (which IS metal) got pitted and marked even though it has been in a cover. Later it was found that if you put the case on and there is any kind of dirt/grit trapped in there with it, it rubs and rubs until it damages the surface of the phone. So if this surface is very easy to damage, it may explain why even in a case that it manages to happen. Sometimes the dirt gets in AFTER the case has been put on, it just works its way down the sides of the phone.

For those that have a chip on the corner, does it match the faint "join" line on the casing? In all 4 corners, there is a thin line (varies how obvious it is from corner to corner), and I am wondering if that is a point of weakness. Certainly all S3s I have seen have been slightly imperfect. It looks like they may be lifting out the cases in the factory before the paint has hardened and this can lead to slight blemishes (not chips) particularly on the left edge when looked under bright spotlights.

Are the ones chipping randomly Korean and Chinese made? Or perhaps only one country of manufacture has the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] SidharthaXx:
Same here

I've had a similar issue with a blue S3. I just spoke to O2 in the UK and they are sending my phone off to be repaired.

Which I'm ok with since it's a 3 day turnout and picked up/delivered to my door...

No idea how they are going to repair it. Looks to me like they'd have to replace the bezel AND the screen.

Anyway, quick question, not sure if anyone knows the answer... my phone is rooted with a custom rom. I am wondering if I should, to be on the safe side to make sure guarantee's are honoured, go back to a stock rom and reset the counter which records if any custom roms have been installed???

Any thoughts?

Many Thanks

I have a 5day old garnet red that has been in an oem Samsung case since day one. Took the case off today for a second and...
[Galaxy S III General] n3utr1n0:
re

same place with my phone... it s just crappy paint quality. I hope there is a way to chip it ALL so it would be the end of chipping. not that bothered that much , it just looks like crap.

i think that eventually it wil chip all around. not goung back for warranty as I only paid 300 pounds for the phone in new condition. I don t believe that it s a hit or scratch damage , but something general about the quality of the samsung material.
[Galaxy S III General] reeneebob:
It continued so badly on my red one that I chipped it all off except on the sides, because it sticks really well on the sides. It's not really noticeable though so I'm only with it. It looks like it fades from black at the top to bronze at the side to back at the bottom... Of course, not having it chip at all would be even better but I still haven't heard back from Samsung since the first message response I got.

Flowed from mah heart using SwiftKey Flow Beta from the Galaxy S3, jellybean style
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
Team Win Recovery Project 2.1, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

I don't own any LG phone,so my support will be limited,but you can ask Great_Day for more as he's my tester.

If you want more informations and/or you want to donate,please go to this page

Phone look:

DOWNLOAD:

Great_Day's host

You can use GooManager to download and flash the recovery

INSTRUCTIONS:

If you want to do it manually

Download recovery.img and place it on root of your sdcard

Make sure your phone is rooted

Open a terminal(Terminal Emulator from market works perfectly)

Type

su
cd /sdcard
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

Reboot in recovery and enjoy

Otherwise,you can use GooManager Beta

Run it,press menu button

Tap on "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

Enjoy

CHANGELOG:

On-screen keyboard in recovery! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor

Name new backups and rename existing backups

Rename files and folders in the file manager

Pseudo-terminal emulator

Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)

Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB

Simplified XML layout support between resolutions

Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages

Improved zip install compatibility

Updated update-binary source code

Numerous small bug fixes and improvements

BUGS:

If you have found a bug, please consider posting it here,possibly with a recovery.log. It's very hard to keep up with multiple threads for multiple devices. Please search the issues list first. Your issue may have already been reported.

SUPPORT:

Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link

If none answers there,please join #neopeek on Freenode.

Helicopter88, Thank you for doing this for us! Everyone should try this. TWRP is awesome!
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
Finally ! :D

I will test and report here :)

Thank you Helocopter!

EDIT : WOOOW amazing !

Can you make boot the recovery directly in /emmc directory ? (just after choose "install")

Can you add an option to backup our ROM in the ExternalSD ?
[LG Optimus 2x] john9:
Downloading now. Can't wait to check it out. Thank you!
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
Please let me know if you find any bug!

[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Tried to flash a rom with aroma installer, the phone shutted off. maybe is aroma installer incompatible with this recovery?
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
I don't have a device with dual storage,but I assume that if you toggle the storage to the external one,backups will go there

Here aroma works,make sure you're flashing from the external storage

EDIT:

Bug:

From GooManager it keeps out the recovery
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
GooManager recognizes only devices that are named p990,for now,so if yours is named p990-something,you can't use it,for now
[LG Optimus 2x] Homero2:
OK, This is part of my build.prop file

And that part have not changed

Installation flawless.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheSSJ:
AWESOME Recovery...looks really good and has plenty more features than CWM
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
GooManager searches for only "p990",we might add a copy of the recovery so it will work fine with those who have a different name

Thank you for appreciating

Downloaded, installed, and it looks really good. Thanks for a good work!

A couple of questions:

1) Are there any ready-to-install themes available?

2) Does it work with backups created with CWM 5?
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
Is it really don't work on this recovery aroma installer?

And how can I backup old recovery?

I tryied:

su

cd /sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=recoveryold.img

it works but makes a 20MB file? is it good? can this be used as backup of recovery?
[LG Optimus 2x] Great_Day:
This is a theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701501

Just google a bit around...

It probably does not work with CWM 5 backups, but I am not sure about that.

Why would you backup the old recovery? You can reflash an other recovery if you want so...
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
We're working on making cwm backups working
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
it's not a big deal we need just make backup with new recovery. What about Aroma is it working because some of best roms have it?

And by the way, recovery is just OWESOME!
[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
So..... if i have the ROM-Manager and CWM installed, do i need to prepare or un-install something before using goo-manager and flash twrp?
[LG Optimus 2x] Homero2:
OK, thanks. I will do some tests and commented

PD:

The more I use it more I like. :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
I can have a look at the issues if you could give me a recovery.log while it hangs

On My evo 3D I have GooManager and RomManager installed and I have no problems
[LG Optimus 2x] Great_Day:
Just flash it, it will overwrite the existing things. Only your rom will be the same, no things change there...
[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
Thanks for the answers.

Got the message "Sorry, no recoveries available for your device"

Then I tried the option "find one for me" results in the same message.

LG P990 V20q rooted

I won't do any terminal stuff.

Any idea?
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
just try terminall it's a piece of cake :) When I download app in about 10s I rather did in terminal then searching and wasting time in this app.

Download recovery.img to internal sd and type this 3 lines :)

Great Recovery and will be greatest if CWM backups can be restored.
[LG Optimus 2x] lemaxxx:
I've edited system/build.prop. Changed ro.product.device=P990 and ro.build.product=P900. Then reboot. Probably only one of those need to be modify.
[LG Optimus 2x] Great_Day:
Both have to be p990, if I am right. TWRP will search for P990, P990-xxxx would not get recognized!
[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
I did the terminal sh..... (lets say "stuff").

Worked fine.

Thanks for the good work.
[LG Optimus 2x] parthabhatta:
A few things which I felt should be conveyed.

1) The touchscreen is very sensitive. As such phone is to be handled with care in Recovery screens. Once we become careless and put it in pocket the things may get a toss without the user knowing anything. So a screen lock sort of thing - if possible - will make things convenient.

2) The file explorer in "INSTALL" menu has rows wic I feel is a bit narrow. Can do with it but 1.3 to 1.5 times width of the present ROW height will be comfortable I think.

3) Secondly a scroll bar in the above explorer may make things easier to handle then present swipe scrolling which is sometimes not in my control at present.

Though the things are quite OK these are purely my views and may make things better. And lastly

4) Compatibility for restoring CWM backups - which is being looked into by Teamwin is welcome.

Thanks for the great effort by Teamwin.

how to uninstall and restore cwm 5.0.2.x?

@helicopter88, thanks for nice twrp touch recovery. just installed with manual process, but no flashing is done yet.

A query, how to uninstall and restore back to CWM 5.0.2.x or 5.0.2.8? Might be required as cwm5 restore is not yet available. Or also required if things are not smooth? I have not used nvflash as yet. Is it safe to use by novice like me? :confused:

Just flashing CWM with ROM manager again should work. It did for me anyway.

Well cm has a option to reboot to recovery when holding powerbutton.

There's also a free app called "optimus 2x recovery reboot" on market. Try that one.

reboot recovery

in android terminal...

Nahhhhh, c'mon guys. An appp to reboot to recovery or terminal to type it???? I think we have the menu option for a reason. And it is not working for me. So, I think i should report it.

I know i can reboot into recovery with vol down and power when phone is off. This is the only alternative if the menu is not working.

But am I the only one with this issue?
[LG Optimus 2x] helicopter88:
I don't have the app source code,so I don't know what happens..

It is way better than CWM and very easy to install with GooManager.
