I downloaded the original ICS leak which sucked horribly so I'm currently running the Unofficial v1.5. I'd like to go back to an ICS rom but they all look like they have quite a few problems. Has anyone had success with one in particular? My Note is my daily driver so I need one that runs just as solid as GB and doesn't crash any apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darknoon77:
Team Perfection (June 28th version) worked perfectly with me. It runs smooth (just like my chest ;)), fast, and stable for me. I am back to GB for now hoping freaking lazy bell updates ICS soon. Comparing to GB and TP's ICS OBJ, the latter is better and a lot less laggy.

It would have been better if you mentioned your carrier and which apps you use mostly or think important.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Install the new leak by Electron. Look in my sig. It is the only one that I have tried which runs 100% bug free for me. But there is no best ICS ROM. What you consider best might not be best for someone else. It all depends if you want tweaks, speed, or no bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capinfusenote:
I only use roms dev'd by the collective. I did emily then went to stratosphere Which was buggy for me and now I'm on mesosphere remix I believe and its nice to me.

I don't think you can move cash anywhere unless in and out of your pocket or bank account.

But as for cache you could move it by applying many of a2sd scripts that are being mentioned at least once every hour on this board, however with this post I will assume that your knowledge might not allow you to apply any scripts as yet until you read forum rules and get at least some basic knowledge on what you are taking about.

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Topic on this already...

1. It's a scratch resistant, not drop proof.

2. Laws of physics. The center of gravity is focused on the front for these phones since they're so light and thin. Yes it's more likely to fall on it's front like a bowling ball on a stick thrown up.

3. Counter balance this with a case in the back.

4. Sucks to be you.

5. Use the search button next time.

[Galaxy S III General] groaner:
While these guys are being harsh, there is some truth.

gorilla glass is meant to be excellent against scratches, not breaking. That it cracked is not one of its features.

It sucks, but hopefully you can find a place to repair it. Would be interesting to know what a new screen would cost.
[Galaxy S III General] eXecuter.bin:
Look on eBay then
[Galaxy S III General] c0brabg:
If you want something that is fall resistant buy a Nokia Lumia when having one of those things you should worry about your feet that your phone. Of course Samsung S3 is a delicate creature that has to be tendered with great care. There many fall resistant cases but to be honest the best protection is safety. I don't see how anyone would like to have a bulk that is twice the normal phone. A normal barely there casemate and a screen protector would do well for everyday usage. Thought there was another from case mate again that included a hell lot of protection. It had two parts, one rubber and the other a normal tough case but really that made the phone look like a satellite phone.
[Galaxy S III General] tehsprayer:
Alright sorry I thought it was break proof according to the video it looked like it. Also, it's not a big deal I still have 14 days to get warranty it was my fault and I can admit it, no need to be so rude about how it's my fault.
[Galaxy S III General] Sango2:
As for videos, I don't read much into them because those are mostly staged and does not reflect what really happens.

I remember watching a Gorilla Glass 2 video on youtube showing no scratches on one of the new Sony phones; I just laughed because they person was scratching with razor blades and hitting with a hammer; showing no damage. The only problem with that is the camera does not pick up the micro scratches which one can see with the eye (which the user shows it with no scratches in the video). Eventually the video poster did crack the glass after repeatedly hitting with a hammer.

There was also another video of the same phone being dropped in a big puddle of water and also it being ran over with a jeep...! Perfectly intact ha ha!

[Galaxy S III General] irish-sid:
It's hardly scratch resistant. I've been so careful with my phone. Nothing else in my pockets, never dropped it bla bla bla, but mysteriously is scratched to ****. I have no idea how.

not sure if S3 is similar (very recent iPhone convert here), but like the iPhone, when you crack the screen you can buy a replacement from ebay which comes with front plate with screen and back plate. just a few screws to replace. cost like $50 AUD.
[Galaxy S III General] derekmhma:
Hopefully your service provider can replace it for free since it's still new however as far as I know, mostly carrier would follow the manufacturer warranty process which they do no cover physical damage at all unless you purchased some extended warranty program from them. If you paid by credit card, you may want to check if you credit card company includes insurance to cover products damage.

Two things to keep in mind now it's to gear up your newly purchased phone right away. Or strongly change your mindset to hold your phone like someone is going to steal it from you at all time if you dont like to use protective case. Which is just like me. Don't like To have the extra layer of screen protector and skins. Broked many phones and a iPad while using the bathroom because of the hard surface of bathroom floor.
[Galaxy S III General] kulisap:
You've learned it the hard way mate. Good luck with the replacement :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] Cyb3rGlitch:
Can't do that. With the SGSIII you need to replace the glass, screen and half the frame all in one go. It's expensive and fiddly.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Those scratches are more than likely the oleophobic coating being scratched, not the glass. That's why they're so hard to see.
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
not sure if you realize that iphone parts is cheap , samsung is more expensive

Got my first screen scratch last week. Tiny, and doesn't worry me.

Sand is always the enemy - phone was wrapped in a T-shirt in a plastic bag in my rucksack, but the beach will always find a way.

Worth it for a fortnight at Santa Cruz anyway - as indeed would a full screensmash. Love that town.

Scratch resistant my ass

My screen has tiny scratches at the bottom center that are easily visible in bright light. :crying::crying:

I treat my phone with great respect. I keep it in my pocket with the screen facing inwards. I always clean it with a micro-fiber cloth. I have never dropped my phone or thrown it around. Why has my screen got scratches then? I have to say the phone has been a great disappointment.

Can anyone tell me whether I can claim warranty for my phone as it has got tiny scratches. Samsung claims the screen is scratch resistant right? If there are no signs of a drop on my phone then I should be able to claim warranty on my phone right? :(
[Galaxy S III General] B3311:
Stop double posting.

Doubt you'll get anything via warranty, but try, you've nothing to lose. You certainly won't get any joy with the "scratch resistant" line, which means exactly what it says - that is, it does not say "scratch-proof".

Cars and planes are built to be strong, but if you slam them into concrete they're going to get damaged.

Gorilla glass doesn't mean you can go around carelessly dropping the device and expect it to live to tell the tale.
[Galaxy S III General] apisfires:
If he/she careless user, better buy basic phone like Nokia 3310
[Galaxy S III General] kantk20111:
Planes are made to go through turbulence, extreme winds and extreme temperatures. In normal use, a plane will not break apart because of those conditions that it faces. likewise, gorilla glass is made to combat scratches and general wear and tear.

However, plane parts do break. Metal starts to rust and airframe fatigue does occur. Likewise, gorilla glass is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Scratches can occur.

However, fly a plane straight into the ground and it will obviously break into pieces. Planes aren't made to be flown straight into something. They will break up. Yes, planes are extremely advanced and have many features to fight against common wear but it isn't designed, by any means, to plow into the ground.

Likewise, drop a phone on the ground and obviously it'll break, because phones aren't meant to be dropped. Yes, gorilla glass is scratch resistant because scratches do occur in normal usage. Dropping phones is NOT normal usage. So don't blame the glass for breaking the laws of physics, blame yourself for being clumsy.

tl;dr:**** happens, don't drop phones, deal with it.

Not sure if any thin cases would give much protection. If you are looking for a cheap tpu case, it's all over in amazon, but if you want something that protects, otterbox might be a good one. Btw, Did you fix your screen already??

Hi

I would advise you to get otterbox commuter.

I have it for my Blackberry and all my previous iPhones, now i got it to my S3 and i must tell you that you will safe, as i dropped it like a 4 times and not even a scratch to the actual phone
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dms92969:
My Brother-in-Law asked me the following.. Can someone assist in answering this question..

On iOS, I use two accessibility features extensively: Zoom and color inversion

By making some Accessibility selection, I enable these two fingers.

With a three-finger double-tap, I can zoom the screen. The entire screen image is zoomed. I can then adjust the magnification level at any time Also, I can scroll around the screen to see the parts that are now offscreen since we’re zoomed. I use this al the time since I can’t easily see small print on the tablet.

Next, if I triple-click the Home button, it inverts all the colors on the screen – this helps me because sometimes I can’t make out dark text on a light background very well. The inversion makes light text on dark background which is often easier to read.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] rangercaptain:
OK, nice apple features.

ICS has font size adjustment, color inversion, and contrast.

Touch control, talking robot feedback, voice control, to name some.

There is 100's of apps that can do this.

The main one is Texting,

The term you are looking for is a Spoofer,

Caller ID Spoofer, or Texting Spoofer.

Alot of apps require you to buy credit in order to use it.

Of course ensure you follow the terms and it is not used for illegal activity.

I thought these phones where supposed to have gorilla glass. I just got my phone Sunday and have been very careful not to scratch the screen. I.e., only putting it in my pocket with nothing else in it etc etc. I haven't installed a screen protector yet because i wanted to be sure i was keeping it but last night i discover a hairline scratch about an inch long right in the middle of the screen *WTF!* any body else having any scratch issues?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jaxidian:
Any change you had any in your pocket? Just a single grain of quartz crystal (incredibly common in sand and dirt) has no problem scratching glass, even GG. If you're near sand or even have dirt on your hands, a screen protector is a must have.

Sent from my phone. Prepare for atrocious Swype typos.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Vaanhoot:
Gorilla glass is very scratch resistant to some things and can be easily scratched by other things like sand. Also, there can be inferior quality gorilla glass produced at times. My Transformer Prime scratched easier then plexiglass when I first got it, and was able to get it replaced under warranty. It had hundreds of scratches on it from just using the cleaning cloth. Now after 5 months of use I still haven't been able to scratch it yet, and I am much less careful with it now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jaliscojorge:
It must have happened while i was at work but just hadn't noticed it until i looked at it at night. Oh well, I've got some ghost armour on it now and unless you look for it is not noticeable.

Here's my Captivate after 22 months without a screen protector. Only a single tiny scratch on it visible from one angle, and it's recent, now that I let my toddler use my old phone all the time now I've got my S3.

Not taking chances this time, though. Got a $0.99 Skinomi (wet application) on my S3, but I don't like the feel of it or that my TPU case cause it to peel up on the edges, so I'll be replacing it with the new Spigen Curved Crystal (dry), when it's finally available at amazon.

I dropped my phone three days after getting it - and got several long cracks in the screen - this NEVER happened with my EPIC 4G which I could throw around like it was brick and it wouldn't crack -scratch or whatever -

Yes - I had insurance - but I was shocked to find the TMOBILE Replacement experice for damaged phones was absolutely HORRIBLE - they didn't even have a replacement phone in stock for me - I understand it's a new phone - but they didn't even try to help - just said - tough luck - we'll let you know when we get a replacement in - When I was with Sprint that NEVER happened - break a phone and it was replaced as soon as I walked in and explained what happened

Sorry - I digress from the original thought of this thread - Gorrilla Glass - Sadly it seems to be a very weak gorrilla - GREAT PHONE - just be very careful with the glass
