5 Months and 14 posts???? This is by far the most deticated forum to the HELP and DEVELOPMENT for the largest selection of mobile devices and devices alike. I am not bashing you but after you have been around for awhile and contribute to this forum then your opinion with come with more value. There are many people on here that do help and are very generous but the are few and far between that are oh not so friendly (and I stress few and far between). If you are a noob then it would help to read the NOOB STICKIES to find out more about your device and learn your way around instead of just jumping in with no intelect or know how of how to use this forum properly. I have only been here for 4 years (actually 4 years ago today), I have tested hundrends of ROMs on lots of devices and have donated hundreds to the developers who help make this possible. Even though I have been through and done the forementioned I myself still read through the stickies to find out more information about the device at hand. You can never gain too much knowledge or know too much about what you are doing. There are weeks maybe even months woth of guides and stickes on this forum. If you need information about your device i'd say there is a 98% chance that someone has already gone through the same thing and has a solution to the problem. The best thing to do here is READ READ READ and try to find out on your own to solve your problem before just logging in and asking questions about something that has been answered because you are too lazy to look yourself. Hopefully you stick around and leanr more and see what this forum is all about. Don't let some asshats ruin it for you. They will be weeded out and generally the situation is solved pretty quickly. There are always someone somewhere that makes things difficult at some point.

If you have a problem with a post or thread hit the report button and let us (moderators) know whats going on. You also need to understand this forum is not a service center we are not here to make your phone cooler or get you out of your mess for not reading (that's 90% of the "HELP" threads or post) so if someone asks something that has been covered before most people will help you out not always as cheerful, but they do. Yes there are trolls, always will be but that's your job to report. We can't read every single post all day (2 moderators vs how many Skyrocket users?) so you guys have to help out. Will be locking this thread as its not really Skyrocket related (just your personal rant) about the community.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lfsbtfl:
Hi community :)

I'm actually German and currently here in the U.S.

I really can't wait to buy the Infinity here ASAP, but I still have some questions left...

Most of you guys know, that the German QWERTZ keyboard (and special letters ö,ä,ü etc.) differs from other QWERTY keyboards, so the whole layout is different.

Now my question is:

- can you select a dock language/layout anywhere? so you can use different keyboard layouts?

This way, I could buy an U.S. dock and just switch to another language and use "German" letters, although it's written otherwise on the keyboard

OR: (preferred way)

- is it possible to use a German dock keyboard with the U.S. version of the Infinity (including special letters like ö,ä,ü?? )

Maybe some of you guys, who already have a dock could try this...

If you could switch from a German layout (people from switzerland, who already have the infinity) to a U.S. layout, I assume, you could also do it vice versa.

Thank you in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
This would, I will imagine, also be affected by the keyboard app, like Swiftkey, in which you can select multiple languages and layouts.

\\Tapatalk.KindleFire\\
[Asus Transformer TF700] netzkind:
I know with absolute certainty that SwiftKey 3 has an extra setting for "external keyboard layout" which allows you to define which layout the keydock has - independently from the on-screen-keyboard. Plus i can really recommend SwiftKey.

I don't know about the second option of yours, but that's what i will try (the other way round, living in Germany and disliking QWERTZ).
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Does Swiftkey actually support external keyboards? :o Wow, you learn something in here every day.

I've used it for a long period on my SGS2 (soft keyboard, obviously), but autocorrection while using the dock keyboard would be absolutely fantastic!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
The G2x has no use for these quirks. Nvidia has some special battery saving things in the phone. That's why our phone does not use CPU governors. Just use the phone as is. You can over clock but don't set CPU profiles. The nvidia chip does everything itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timekeeper:
Thanks for the info, I never knew that, coming from other Android phones. I was wondering why no kernel had CPU governor options enabled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
We can turn off the core though. Faux's latest cm7 kernel has it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shortkidd96:
thx also what are the permissions for the script cause im using root explorer:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hairycheapo:
which kernels do this already?

I am pretty sure that I was running on only one core when on Trinity ELP when setting it at 750 MHz and lower. Also, the newer Faux 050b6 through 050b9 go to a single core limited to no more than 503 MHz whenever the screen is off.

Is anyone aware if the Trinity T15 shuts down the second core ever?

How about the stock LG or standard CM kernel?

How about Faux's kernels for stock based ROM's? I have recently been on Kwes and Buru stock 2.3.4 ROM's using Faux 014b2 at stock voltage. If I keep the MHz low, I swear my battery performance is better than it ever was using undervolted ELP on CM7 based ROM's.

I just did 35 hours :victory: of moderate usage (about 2 hours talk, 3 hours wifi web, 1 hour text) and still had 45% left in the tank! - With the stock battery that's nearly a year old now...:good:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] buckohfive:
I got a small, 3/4 inch scratch on my Bionic over the weekend. It was bad enough to bother me but it wasnt deep. I did some research online and found some people had luck using 3M Glass Detailing Polish (made for cars) to polish the light scratches out. However a bottle is at least 35 bucks on eBay, almost the price of replacement glass.

On a hunch and with nothing to lose, I found some glass cooktop cleaner (cream, not spray - mine was Weiman brand and was slippery, not gritty to the touch) and using a qtip I was able to gently polish out the scratch! I haven't been able to take an picture, but it is gone. I started out with a light touch, but eventually pressed pretty hard - it took about ten minutes checking every few strokes to make sure I wasn't damaging the screen.

I tried this technique on my wife's Razr Maxx and it did not work. The polish beaded up like the screen had a waterproof coating on it. I didn't try too hard, though.

Ymmv. I hadn't seen this info anywhere and thought folks might want to know. I have a sample set of one, so don't try this unless you are OK damaging your screen further.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tghockey07:
I'm glad you got the scratch to buff out. I just wanted to tell you that you should avoid replacing the screen all-together because it really is a hassle and if done wrong, you will get dust under the screen. Also, the gaskets don't come off clean and the new digitizers don't have new ones.

Also, doesn't the Razr actually have waterproofing on it? I'm pretty sure it does, but I don't know about the screen itself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
Incipio SILICRYLIC in blue exclusively for T-Mobile USA.

The case is very, very nice. The soft material is very comfortable and a joy to grip. The plastic is also a great "soft" feeling material. I've jumped through 4 premium cases so far and this is by far the best one for what I want in a case. The only thing that stopped me from buying this in the 1st place, was the colors available on the Incipio site. The color of this one is more of a metallic teal than the blue that it looks in the pictures. I'd rather have the blue, but the teal is very attractive in person.

The case is $30 at T-Mobile (I snagged it for like $23). I would've payed the $30 though no problem. Cause I feel the case is way better than some that are priced higher.

The main thing about this case - It's easy to take off so I can swap batteries. This is a must for me as I've tried it with the speck case, the body glove dimensions and the case-mate barely there and this is by far the easiest to take off.

When it comes to protection, this is number 1 from the ones I've tried. And that includes the speck candy shell. The reason this beats the speck? Cause you seriously run a risk of cracking the gs3 screen while trying to remove it from the speck. And there should be no reason that a case, can make you risk breaking your phone while trying to do a simple task like removing it.

Some say "use a tool to remove the speck". Nah, I'll pass. If the 10 tools that I use daily for other jobs (fingers), can't remove the case, then the case is a p.o.s.

If the phone falls in this case, it has just as much of a survival rate as that of the candy shell, if not more... I have dropped phones from waist high with a Incipio feather on it and it didn't have a mark on it (gs2). I'm pretty sure that this case can do better. The candy shell, though it has a hard and soft material, is a lot less shock absorbing than this. The reason is the specks "soft material", isn't nearly as soft as this Incipio case. And for that reason alone, I feel there's a risk of less shock absorption with it than this case.. Drop a rock and a sponge and tell me which one does better...

Here's the pics.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] silver04v:
How is the sides? Does the rubber lift up while handling it. Seems like it might with not much support along the sides. Also how are the button presses? Still crisp and "clicky" if you will?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
Nah, it doesn't really "lift up". Of course where the volume buttons are it's a little "looser" than the rest. But it has less support. It's not a problem as it only "lifts up" when you try to make it "lift up".
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fallguy1:
I too have the Incipio "silicrylic" for my galaxy s3. Ebay order, about $25 IIRC. I went with the standard black and was pleased as well.

Echo the comments on the "soft" feeling texture of the case. It is a snug fit, but nothing that would damage the phone going on/off. Rubber comes up and around the sides for a ridge on the face (clear in your pics) I'd take some pics of mine but black is black lol...

All around a great case. I have this case and the vented Samsung (the one with the coin kickstand thing). I use this case daily.

The two layer approach, rubber + the shell really seems effective.

Oh, and fit around the buttons is excellent imho. I don't feel it takes any more effort or is any difficult at all with the rubber case over the buttons.

The screen protector they give you with it isn't that great though (imho). I've tried both ZAGG and Skinomi, plus the one that came with the Incipio. So far, I like Skinomi the best, but I ordered the ZAGG replacement because the store guy goofed the install...

Anyway man great review, I feel ya on giving it high marks. I like that case as well. Not a bad pick up for $25. :laugh:

Biggest downside is you're covering up a fine looking phone!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] imsuperjp:
how you get it for 23?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
He might have use the coupon before it expired.

OP, does the plastic have a quality finish around the edges? Can you get a close up?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
What coupon? I got a deal cause of a certain person. I'd like that coupon though if you have a link.

It's all quality.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] El Nivek:
"SUM2012" got me a 20% discount on the Incipio site.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
There was a 30% coupon that expired on 6/30. You can't stack it with the 25% employee discount. Some did stack with the buy 2 get one free. No longer valid though.

Are the edges rounded and have a nice finish? I had it for my Amaze and the case was haggard. Sharp edges and they didn't have much attention to detail.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
Yea, nah, I didn't use them but wish I would've known about those before they expired.

The edges are not jagged or anything. The whole case is smooth
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tazer2death:
These are cheaper on Amazon though than they are with the 20% off from Incipio.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Could I get a top shot of the plastic part of the case and a close up of the edges finish? If you don't mind. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] luebbers:
How a the grip? I'm sorta worried about the phone sliding out of my pocket while I'm sitting or when I go to stand up so I'm looking for a case that's got some texture to it maybe.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] J-man67:
Ha, I'm looking for something that will slide in and out of my pocket easily. I have an Otter B. Commuter on my Atrix and I feel its a little too tacky...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
The edges have enough silicone to stay in place. As long as you don't have super tight pants you're fine.

Anyone know where the Yellow/Grey case is exclusive to? Seems like different carriers may have gotten different colors?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tazer2death:
I thought the yellow was available on the Incipio website. If not I saw a lot on ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fallguy1:
I have a black one on my gs3, and I would say the grip is good. It's "soft" and still has enough texture to be grippy. It shouldn't slide out of your pants. I use it with dress pants (think suit pants) at work everyday. No issue.

The texture of the outer shell is actually different than the inner rubber. Shell is more soft and smooth, while the inner rubber is soft and tacky. Top, bottom, and button covers are left as rubber, while the outer basically covers the back and corners. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mastarifla:
Thanks for the review, I just picked one up from my local T-mobile store, they were giving me weird looks for being in there when I had AT&T :P

It looks and feels fantastic on my blue phone, contrary to the pictures the outlining is more of a dark grey in limited/low lighting situations, not the light grey that you see in some of the pictures.

I tried the black/black (local AT&T prime mobile has that and the black/yellow) and I found that on the blue phone the black diminished the overall look of the phone imo.

I would really like the dark grey outlining and possibly a light grey/black cover, seems like it would look good like that, but I'm happy with my purchase, thanks again!

Edit: I'll try to take some pictures to show what I mean, they should be up later

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masei:
I have the same problem on a rooted S3.

But I do not see any reasson why this should happen on a stock rom with root permissions. So I do not factory reset it but wiped the caches - no effect.

The problem only appears if mobile data connection is deactivated. I think it should be a problem with some service that needs agps service e.g.

Letting mobile data connection enabled is a solution for the next weeks but not a good option.
