Well, I just have a simple tpu case from best buy that came in a 2-pack for $25. There is no way it has the ability to do anything close to the phone even if you cut up the case and intentionally tried to scratch the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
Because I don't give a crap about scratches to the body of the phone. That's why. My primary concerns are keeping the screen from being scratched when laid face-down on a surface, and to help a bit with shock when dropped.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
I think you missed the whole point of the OP.....it is not the case itself that scratches the phone...it is the grime and dirt that gets in between the case and phone that causes the scratches

I can understand that! That is def a plus!

but instead of a TPU case, you might as well get a "bumper" type of case...there is no reason to protect the back of the phone since it can be easily replaced for $10
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dLo GSR:
man, don't be a sucker, all cases are the same materials. just buy the $5 ebay cases. i've spent about 20 bucks on 3 cases for this phone so far just for the hell of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
i've had 4 phones in the last 4 years....making it about $37.50 per phone

I wouldn't buy the name brand stuff...id get a $5 tpu case from amazon...but its doing more harm than good

I admit, I do have a flip cover for the sgsIII...since the screen is the only thing im really concerned about
[Galaxy S III Accessories] prophetx2:
Almost the majority of scratches from cases are from grime and sand that get caught from purses and pockets. The scratches almost always appear on the BACK which is the cheapest to replace.

My evo which was naked looks bad compared to my gfs epic with a seido which we bought at the same time. I'm much more careful with my phone than she is, but all it takes is one drop in 730 days for some nasty damage. The seido case looks beat up now and her back cover is scratched up, but my gf literally throws her phone in her bag and drops it at least once a week. My phone is chipped on a few corners, but hey I got a nice looking back cover....

It's up to you on whether you trust yourself 100% of the time in the next two years or so, but I'm sure for most of us the cost of a 10 dollar tpu case and whatever screen protector is not that hard to justify.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
its not the cost of a screen protector that i have to justify...

what i have to justify is the sucky user experience with a screen protector

it glitters due to the oil in between the creases, and there is much more friction between your finger and the screen making touch gestures a pain

in my experience, mostly the scratches appear on the sides since that is where the dirt and grime is entering

NOW, im not saying I go naked....i use a "pouch" mostly when im going to be throwing it in bags, jacket pockets, etc......that provides much more protection without risking your device from scratches form the case itself
[Galaxy S III Accessories] woodydog:
I always use a thin case for the grip and drunk drops. I have never used a screen protector and never will. 4 years with smartphones and all my phones screens were still mint when I was done with them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] prophetx2:
I had the same experience as you with most wet applied screen protectors. The dry ones should not feel any different on the screen at all. I use the sgp nano clear and i can't recommend it enough. Optically it doesn't look like anything is on it unless you focus on the edges.

A pouch works too and would likely work for me as well. The few times I dropped my phone is when it's in my pocket and i'm getting up like in a sports car or reclined chair.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lordmorphous:
My last phone was a Dell Streak and I used the Otterbox Defender on it (talk about big). After a few months, I did have lots of scratching around the edges where the rubber was up against the phone. This included the glass (I don't think the Streak used Gorilla Glass). I had zero scratches on the screen where the case didn't touch it. However, this isn't going to keep me from getting a case for this one. I love that it is so thin and sleek, but those same "features" makes me feel like it's also fragile.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1SiK1500:
While i understand and respect your reply. Ive never had a phone "sandpaper effect" on any device of mine. If you are getting it easily on your device, consider the quality of the device. My last two HTC Phones with Otterbox Commuters show no sign of wear.

On another note ive been 9 Months Caseless with my HTC Sensation.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] es7241:
Okay boss so which case should I get ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] play2lose:
I have had cases on ALL of my phones since the iPhone 3G...iphone 4...iphone 4S...galaxy note...htc one x...and now galaxy s3.

I have NEVER had this sandpaper effect happen. However, I usually buy high quality cases from name brands that fit very tightly. I'm sure if you buy a lower quality case with some wiggle room that it would be very easy for dust and grime to get in there. Hasn't been a problem for me though. I like the thin and sleek polycarbonite cases and that's what I've gotten for all my phones. I now have the alpine white Ringke hard case for my Galaxy S3 and this is actually the TIGHTEST fit of a case I've had. Very difficult to come off which can be seen as a bad thing for changing battery or SD card...but I don't think there's any way I'll be getting scratches as it can't budge 1mm cause it fits so tight.

I'm looking at my iPhone 4S right now which has had a clear plastic case on it since day one...with the case off (And this case is looser fitting than my GS3 case) the metal edges have absolutely ZERO scratches or scuffs, and so of course the back glass has nothing on it either. The case is scratched up a bit, but the phone looks brand new.

I also was anti-screen protector until my HTC One X where I tried the SGP ultra clear. It really feels AND looks like nothing is there. But if I get a scratch I know it's on a $15 piece of plastic not my $700 phone :)

DON'T BE A FOOL, WRAP YOUR TOOL!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lappie2010:
I find that without a case I scratch the camera lens cover and it causes the pictures to become "dark and faded." Same as with my OG Evo, that camera lens cover would always hit the table or whatever first.

I dont know why they make the camera lens cover to be flush or raised. It should be recessed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RikF:
Besides all of the ridiculous anecdotal evidence flying about in this thread, what on earth is it doing in this section? We have an accessories section...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DeadPlasmaCell:
True that the holes can sometimes be an issue.. but that's usually with 1st gen or non-revised cases. For example, the GSII case had an issue with the bottom mic's hole being cut improper. It was a simple fix, but they came out with a revised version that had the hole cut out proper. Also the volume rocker area was cut out, so I'm not sure what the volume rocker issue you're referring to with the case. I've had Diztronic cases on Samsung Vibrant, MyTouch 4G, HTC One S, HTC Amaze 4G, Two Galaxy S II's, Two Galaxy Nexus and now a Galaxy S III and the only one I had an issue with was one GSII where I had to cut the bottom mic's hole a bit bigger cuz it didn't line up proper. They fixed that issue pretty quick. I think people rave about them for a reason. The products are great, the price is great and customer service is great as well.

You are right in the fact that dirt and grime can work their way behind the case, but I've always made it a habit to take my phone case off every other day just to give the phone a nice wipe down. It usually isn't necessary, but why not ya know? As long as my screen is protected and the phone body is protected, I'm fine with a few micro-scratches here and there. I'd really love to just go totally naked, but I just can't do it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
OP is dumb as hell. Seriously!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I don't know if I would go that far...depending on the phone in question TPU cases do cause some micro fine scratches. These phones that have the issue usually have chrome plated bezels like on the T-989 and iPhone 3S. These micro scratches don't bother 95% of the population but there is the 5% that go crazy about them.

To the OP, I would suggest a pouch case like this:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] bkeaver:
I've had a tpu case on the past 4 or 5 phones and mine don't have any scratches. Maybe if you get sand or some abrasive debris in your pocket then I could see that happening but...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firetruck41:
Sounds like you have some kind of axe to grind. Weird to start a thread about not needing something... If I did that, I would be starting threads all day, all over the internet. On my phones, I have used cases without noticeable scratches. In fact, I don't really care if "micro scratches" occur, I am more concerned about "mega scratches" and damage to the phone. A simple case helps out a bit.

So you have a Diztronic case for your S3? I thought TPU cases cause scratches, and you don't like scratches?

If no one had scratched any of their smartphones before, your statement would make sense, as it is, you should have said screen protectors are pointless for you.

Missing the point, the screen protector is sacrificial, it could have been scratched by something that is hard enough to scratch the glass, but the screen protector was between it, and the glass.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiannichan:
I have had the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, Captivate, SGS2 and now the SGS3. I've used TPU cases for each one and have sold each phone after upgrading in perfect condition. I usually wash my clothes and I don't go tumbling around in the sandbox so maybe that's why my phones have stayed perfect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:

I hope we're all adults here, but can we voice our opinions without sounding like a pric on an intense period? No need to get fussy over a case or screen protector. Do w/e to your phone that you want. its not my phone so I could care less.

I didn't see an APK in the OP so I used the one above my post.

I also tried installing the app before and after removing the old one but it does not install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
what rom are you running? is it ICS.

try going into system settings/manage apps and clear data on original music app before installing to see if it helps...and if it makes a difference, i renamed the new apk to gplaymusic.apk

what i did was renamed the original apk to apk1 and then placed the new apk in system/app and fixed permissions.. then rebooted recovery ..wiped cache just for the hell of it ..and rebooted.. hope that helps .. if it doesnt, please see the original thread ..steve0007 can help you more :good:

is there a change log for this at all>? Is there anything really new other than the fact that this build is from the JB release ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mejori:
ok so what i have noticed is in settings, they have changed your options : select on device music, it also has NEXUS Q settings, and now while you are listening to a track, you can select the menu and see the other songs that are in the play list without going back and forth to the "songs" screen, and it also shows you the songs that are in the playlist in the order that they will play..so you can actually see what song will play next. also if you select the drop down on any other song in the list you can select "play next" so that you dont have to miss out on the song currently playing!

if any of this was in the previous versions, then it is just more user friendly to me :D:D

these are what i have noticed so far. pics coming

o ok.. i have to sift through the files... why would you want the TB file? how will that help?

i looked through my TB files and found one that ends with .apk but there are several music files in my back up.. there is a .tar

which one would you need?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rahul.dhaka:
i need 3 files.

com.google.android.music-(some number here).properties

com.google.android.music-(some number here).tar.gz

com.google.android.music-(some number here).apk

i will try to restore your titanium backup to my paranoid android rom. for some reason no matter what approach i try i can't get it to directly install.

direct placement in system/app causes an FC. i've tried fixing permissions, wiping cache, dalvik etc.

Any suggestions? Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to make sure your drivers are set up properly for ADB. Do this by being booted in CWM, and install them on the "Android 1.0" that pops up in Deveice Manager. (Use 1wayjonny's universal driver in the dev section.) Once that is done, move the zip over to you sdcard by typing: adb push <name-of-file>.zip /sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
If you have adb setup.

Go into mounts and storage and Mount /data

Then

adb push nameofrom.zip /data/media

Then unmount /data and you should now see the rom you forgot to put on the phone.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rumble6059:
In Cwm try going to mounts and storage > mount usb storage and connect to your pc then transfer the file over.

Maybe that'll work?
