[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyryn:
Bull$h!t ! I used both my sgs1 and sgs2 without screen protectors...and the s1 especially was brutally handled with many drops and, keys and rough surfaces...

Still not one damn scratch on their screen...

Using s3 without a screen protector too...but more apprehensive about this one as the reports flowing in don't let me put my faith in this new gorila glass two tech!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijeff:
I found a deep scratch on my S III too. It's kept pretty safe so it had to have been some sort of dust. With that said, I picked up an XO Skins protector that filled in the scratch; it's no longer noticeable.

I'm not sure what's up with Gorilla Glass 2, but the iPhone 4S glass seems more resilient. I was rather rough with my 4S and it remained perfect while my Incredible S and S III have easily scratched. The Galaxy Nexus is the worst offender; deep scratches from what usually only cause minor imperfections on the other devices.

"For years." Then you don't know how the crystal clear dry ones look because honestly they are invisible. I recommend you try it and if you don't like it then you'll just have a stronger opinion.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariex24:
The fact that the phone costs as much as it does should be a reason one does NOT have to use a screen protector. I had an HTC Hero that I dropped at least a dozen times and skidded on a couple more occasions yet how many scratches were on the screen? ZERO. If you've got nothing productive to add to the conversation rather than calling people names then you should just keep to yourself or go troll somewhere else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azuresystem:
ayes it scratches >_< if youre lucky you can use your home insurrance or device dito to claim a new one, but all these scratch resistant phones do scratch all the way from the very first SGS. keys, sand or box-wallets, you name it theyre not immortal or scratchfree, they just crack harder than normalglass in my experience takes a considerable amount of violence versus normal glass to break it ;D

id recommend a screenprotector and the new samsung flip-backcover combo, keeps the phone in a next to new state, (saves your original from wear and tear scratches or degradation and they produce new every day! :P)

link below : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-...p-cover-chrome-blue-efc-1g6fbecstd-p35107.htm

p.s this one also builds a few mm on the back (protecting the camera lens aswell WEIIEE!) and making the phone feel even more rigid and slightly heavier (better buildfeel overall imo)

clearly recommendable product tbh ;P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paligga:
I've had this phone for a few weeks now. I have some small scratches on the display that are visible in direct light.

My old Galaxy S didn't have any scratches on the glass parts after 2 years of use.

The Gorilla glass 2 on SGS3 is clearly more vulnerable to scratching.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daelyn:
Spot on! Ruins the feeling (on both)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beppelupo:
I have put keys, screws, cables, screwdrivers and more in my pocket. Not a scratch on the screen. Also once a big piece of round metal fell on it (i threw it) and it dented the "metal" chromed frame but the screen is new as the first day. Also sometimes i sit on it when it's in my backpocket, i slept on it at least twice, and once i accidentaly scratched the screen into a rock. Screen is like new. I'm impressed, actually awed. :good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aamaaeg:
in my opinion Samsung designed this phone too delicate to withstand normal daily use.

I use mine with extreme caution in a back cover and a screen protector. nevertheless it is getting fine scratches all over the shiny back. what a fragile phone

one of the best in technology and definitely worst in build quality. I expect from a manufacturer in Samsung caliber to put in mind the daily wear and tear.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil1012010:
I paid £1.40 for 10 screen protectors and £5 for a case for the back, they maybe cheap but it stops my £500 phone getting scratched!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dee163:

Sand can scratch your phone pretty easy. Thats how i scratched my old gs2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur Hucksake:
Always want to know where this sand comes from.

Imagine you live in an urban environment, travel to work each day on public transport and then sit in an office all day. Just look at all this sand everywhere, sand storms I tell ya.

The back cover of mine appeared to have a scratched which I noticed five minutes after taking it out of the box.

The corning pyrex glass on my £5 cafetierre is more scratch resistant than the glass on a £500 phone also. Bottom line is although it's supposedly "better" being Gorilla glass 2, it probably isn't. It just means thinner, that's the trade off.

Now if you live near a desert or goto the beach I can get my head around it. Otherwise, this glass isn't fit for purpose and it's about time they start shipping phones with protectors installed considering the price.

I was contemplating letting my phone 'go naked' and trusting the GG2 tech but after seeing my girlfriend AND a friend smash their screens with very minor drops within a couple of weeks of each other I'm tempted to wrap my SIII in bubble wrap. They both had the screen COMPLETELY die - black, nothing - even though the crack in the panel was very minor. I've seen the SIII fairing very poorly in drop tests too, so for that reason I'm keeping mine in a case with a screen protector. Sure, they're not going to help if it gets run over by a tram but it gives me some peace of mind. I get the feeling that Samsung might have dropped the ball with this device in terms of its resilience. Either that or I just know two very unlucky people. Certainly I have a number of friends with S1s and S2s and not one of them has broken their screen, despite numerous catastrophes.

So yes, for me it's not so much about scratches as doing what I can to stop my flimsy beast from smashing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
It's the Oliphobic coating scratching NOT the gorilla glass! S1 and S2 didn't have this coating. I assume its some sort of softer mineral crystal vapour deposited on the glass
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpack101:
I have a leather flip case and a screen protector along with insurance.

Clipped the phone off the fireplace and shattered the screen (only 2 weeks old). Got it replaced and treat it like a baby now. It's to valuable to me not to.

I had an S1 for two years with no protection and never got a mark on it. I think gorilla glass is a joke.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YZ:
If you want to avoid scratches, you definitely need a case and a screen protector on your phone.

I'm using the ultra slim cover by samsung and curved crystal by spigen. I lost the phone 4 times directly on the ground from about 1.5 meters height.

I have a visible scratch in very bright light, but besides that, I have about 8-10 small scratches.

The back cover, as you describe yourself, is full of scratches :/

I contacted samsung, but since it's not a hardware issue, they do not cover it. I went to my provider, and they told me that I would need to pay 1300 kr (about 225 dollars) to replace the screen. The price was to high for me, so I contacted Samsung. They are opening "samsung stores" here in Norway, and they told me that they could do the job in 1 hour, and for about 700 kr (about 120 dollars).

I bought the phone for 5100 kr, already very expensive, so I think I will pass the replacement. I think I can live with a few "very hard to notice" scratches :)

But ofc. the screen is a bit disappointing. I lost my hd2 over 30 times trough a 2 year period and only got 3 scratches on the screen, which were almost impossible to notice.

YZ.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slevy951:
I want to chime in on this. I've read all the 'get a screen protector' posts. Whatever Samsung/Corning did different with this glass, it's not working. My SGS3 is scratched after 3 months use. My SGS1 never scratched in 2 years! Neither did my wife's! Samsung are you out there? Are you listenting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Then again, scratch resistant doesn't mean scratch-proof. It's resistant, but it will eventually get scratches.

Broken twice !

I broke my GS3 2 times! Last time i drop it from kitchen table and nothing happened. After 1 hour the screen start to turn blue in the right side. A few hours later the blue part was like the half of the screen. I quick install stock firmware and on the morning everything was black. I send the phone to the service and they repair it for free. It has no scratches, because of the case. I'm so so happy now :)

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

By the way Samsung's slim cover does not protect a ****! Basically all the phone is unprotected.

PS: Do you know what kind of genuine protectors Samsung is going to sell for GS4?

[Acer Iconia A500] pwnerman:
Hey guys im sorry in advance but I have no idea about this and maybe someone can help me out.

Is the Acer A501 compatible with all the roms and such that are in the A500 section?

I looked and I didn't see a seperate thread or forum for the A501 so I was hoping someone could tell me.

I dont even have the device yet lol.

Also has anyone heard that the A501 is supposed to get ICS on July 11th.

I saw that in another thread and was just hoping for some feedback.

Thank you all.
[Acer Iconia A500] VelosCohagen:
A500 roms work on the a501, but without 3g, because the a500 has only wlan. Heard the release for ICS on the a501 has moved to August.

I use the tegraowners ICS rom on my a501, and i'm very pleased with it. It supports the 3g module of the a501, and it's a thousand times better than the original acer crap.

[HTC Wildfire S] bobsie41:
My son's device was briefly immersed in water. After thouroughly drying it over a few days (battery removed imediately) the device seems almost fully functional unfortunately, since wetting the device, he has managed to lose the installed gold card.

I have full fastboot functionality but, when trying to boot the device it remains on the htc screen :crying:

My pc recognises the device as a disk drive but is unable to display it under my pc. :crying:

The device is locked to the 3UK network and has cid H3G__001 but has 2.13.401.2 firmware installed by means of the now non-existant gold-card.

I am not used to the ways of the Wildfire S but have experience with the desire, sensation and one x so I am not quite a complete noob;)

A few questions:

1/ Is it possible to make another goldcard with the device in this state?

2/ Does anybody have a 3UK RUU available (preferably the latest one) as I have not been able to locate one anywhere?

Any advice or assistance would be very much appreciated.

p.s. I have not been able to unlock the bootloader at htc.dev.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman72:
Hi, I have Archos 101 G9 8gb with ICS@BLUE V03. I'd use "Directory Bind" to move the game data on sd. I did a test with "Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 1.05", it has the data folder into "Android/obb/" called "com.konami.pes2012" (with a single file of about 170mb).

first attempt

With standard "Direcotory Bind"'s path, it obviously does not work, in fact, with:

source: /sdcard/external_sd/games/

target: /sdcard/Android/obb/

it creates a folder "external_sd/obb/" into internal storage and not into sd...

second attempt

with:

source: /mnt/sdcard/games/

target: /sdcard/Android/obb/

"Directory Bind" actually moves the folder "com.konami.pes2012" into sd "games" directory!!! I have valid link and green color status into "Directory Bind" but when I try to launch PES, the game recreates an empty "com.konami.pes2012" folder into INTERNAL storage and asks to download data game :-(

third attempt

with:

source: /mnt/sdcard/games/

target: /mnt/storage/Android/obb/

"Directory Bind" moves the folder "com.konami.pes2012" into sd but and the end of the copy I have this error "enter valid targhet path", and no link created...

how to use this program with our archos??? Are there alternatives to move these "data folders" ("android/data/", "android/obb/", "gps map foldedrs") on sd? thank you and sorry for my poor englis. ciao :-)

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman72:
thank you, but I need to move "LARGE data folders" not "apps" on sd :-) I use link2sd on two phone with cyanogen and works great, but usually it moves only apps, dalvik cache and libraries on sd ext partition, not "data folders". ciao :-)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreas1975:
You could still manually copy the files over from (e.g. /mnt/storage/obb/com.konami.pes2012) to external sdcard (e.g. /mnt/sdard/games/com.konami.pes2012) and use a shellscript (name anyway, e.g. "mountext.sh"), something like:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o bind /mnt/sdard/games/com.konami.pes2012 /mnt/storage/obb/com.konami.pes2012

You can even automatically load the script at boot time, e.g. with ScriptManager (search for "SManager" inside the PlayStore).

I use a similar script for linking videos & music located on an external USB-Drive to the internal folders, so they get recognizide by the media app. Works like a charm for me.

Hi

I'm trying to compile usbserial.ko for the Odys Xelio (Allwinner A10 based Tablet). I'm usind this kernel sources: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25978796&postcount=121. According to a german android forum, these are the recommended sources.

I am able to compile usbserial.ko. The vermagic and the file signature are identical with the already existing modules.

After some research I tryed to compile usbcore.ko, but I do not know how to get this module. I tryed to select "Drivers -> USB -> USB Host" as module (M) in the kernel menuconfig. But this does not help.

Can anyone help me?

Is the missing usbcore.ko causing the error when loading usbserial.ko or is it a different problem? (The device has already USB OTG/Host features - I can connect a mouse or an USB stick)

What do I have to change in the kernel config so that I get usbcore.ko?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dread 7us:
​

App is based off of work by xHausx, Art2Fly and coolbho3000. You can set speed, voltage and restore stock with this app. Once applied, it will automatically set the speed available on every boot, no need to do anything manually (except apply it with a 3rd party overclock app). I've tested most options and it is working. Be warned, not all phones will be able to overclock fully (I could OC to 1.9GHz but on 2.0GHz my phone froze). Your phone must be rooted to use this app and have busybox installed. I'm planning on adding more features, this is the first version. Feel free to let me know what works, what doesn't and how it can be improved, thanks. Special thanks to dodgejcr for giving me the idea to even build the app.

Disclaimer: I, the app developer (Dread 7us), will not be held responsible if you lose data or your device gets damaged in the use of this app. You, the user, accept all responsibility. You are applying this MOD of your own free will.

This app doesn't apply the overclock value you set, you still need a 3rd party overclock app to do that (like SetCPU, NoFrills, etc).

Features:

Set clock speed

Set voltage manually

Return to stock

Pre-defined clock speeds with custom options available

Overclock value will be select-able after reboots

Instructions:

Open app and accept SU permission

Tap 'Set speed' and select an option to begin (you can't apply until you do)

Custom: enter a value that will be multiplied by 27

That number * 27 will equal the MHz

It will show selected speed once selected

Tap VDD if you need to set a voltage

If the value is within acceptable levels, it will show the value on the main screen

Tap 'Apply' to set, will reboot and automatically apply on every reboot

Use a 3rd party Overclock app to set value (like SetCPU).

Tap 'Remove' to go back stock (will reboot)

Known issues:

If you input a ridiculous value (greater than the max) for VDD, it will FC

That will be fixed soon.
