Yeah that BB Canada Insurance sucks! Sorry to hear that is your best option.

Best Buy's insurance is the only reason I don't have a GS3 in my hands right now...cause for $10/month I get a no questions asked replacement everytime...yeah it may be a refurb...but it is always physically and functionally perfect and also completely covered just like the original purchase was.

In fact the one time I used my insurance for my DroidX it was a Software issue...got the replacement and it bricked in 3 days (No I did nothing to it)...last phone they forgot to send without a 16GB SD Card...so I got a free SD Card with the replacement.

Only think I paid was the $50 deposit for the loaner which was refunded when I brought it back.

Also...as far as letting her even touch it...I can guarantee you my kids won't be touching mine for at least 6 months and when they do it will be in a heavily carpeted area and under tight supervision!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] redbearde:
I was quoted $199.99, and when I balked I was told the phone is an $800 device. ...told her I'd *think* about it.

OP, for whatever reason, Samsung's screens usually aren't easily and cheaply replaceable with Chinese knock-offs like HTC's are. So finding cheap replacement parts will be tough. You might find someone's bricked unit on eBay that you can get the parts out of. GL.

Have a homeowners policy with a decent deductible? The phone is technically worth full value.

Are the digitizer/screens the same for all versions of the Galaxy sIII, would the screen for SPH-L710 work on the sgh i747 ??

Need to replace cracked screen...short drop, bad cracks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] awsrasool:
Yea I think that stuff is the same ... as the phone is brand new the prices are ridiculous... about 300$ to get it fixed ... keep in mind that the galaxy s2 is getting fixed for 180$ now ... So how long are you willing to wait ... personally am looking at ensquare now ...

Sorry to hear this happened to you too. Dropped mine on the way to buy a case-screen cracked with bezel damage. Costing me 130.00 to replace through Asurion. At least it will be a new phone.

Samsung repair service

I just sent mine to Samsung they will replace the screen for$179 including shipping.

Not a warranty price either. Couldn't even find the parts for that price

Actually you could fake her death, collect insurance, buy her a phone, move out of state, change names, and then use the new "share features" now that you both have new SGS3's :)

My phone will be coming in the mail this week. Narrow my cases down to 2. Matte black Diztronic and black/dark grey Rock Quicksand. Which would you pick and why? prefer people with both cases chime in.

I like the look of Rock but seem like less protection.

Diztronic look ok but more protection.

Seem like with the Diztronic case, the home button will hard to get to.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
Both are different cases. It depends on how much protection youre looking for.

In my opinion, the diztronic case is better. Its stylish, gives full protection and its just awesome. Thats just me, i like the matte finish and the logo. It doesnt add much bulk to the phone either. And about the home button having a hard time pressing, not at all, its easy to press not to mention the volume and power button.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] chirantan.f:
just got my rock quicksand yesterday, and its beautiful, just enough protection, and rough surface which provides lot more grip, i am loving it! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CabanaFoghat:
I have a gray Rock case and I love it. Very low profile and good enough protection when paired with a screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I like how all the Rock users keep saying "it offers enough protection".

Uhhh, in which dimension would that be in?

It only offers protection for three of the six sides of the phone. Or otherwise, it only offers protection for HALF the phone when dropped from more than a few feet above the ground.

I do agree though. It's a great looking case and I'll probably get one.

I've had the Diztronic TPU case before on a different phone.

I always felt safe'ish with it on my phone.

Not the grippiest or most stylish case. But a good one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tekhna:
I'd go Diztronic. Cheaper, better protection. Works well, well-made.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NerdInTheNW:
Not all protection needs to be from a fall. I've had plenty of scratches on casings due to resting my phone on rough surfaces and heavy pocket wear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 762x51:
I have both and honestly, I like BOTH of them. I prefer the solid and grippy feel of the Rock, but I also prefer the wrap around protection of the Diztronic. Both feel the same in the pocket and neither adds bulk to the device. Both look nice with the slight edge to the Rock. Neither impedes button access at all.

I personally find myself using the Diztronic when I go out somewhere and am afraid I might drop it, and the Rock when the device will be sitting on my desk at work all day or on the patio on the weekends or something. The Rock is really just for scratch and bump protection.

They are cheap enough that you can get both and see which you prefer. I'm going to continue using both of them. :cool:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
My vote is for the Ringke and here's why.

There is way too many comments stating that these thin cases don't offer enough protection and it's simply not true. My wife dropped my GS3 from 3-4 feet high straight on to concrete and the case protected it like a champ. It got about 5 or 6 scuffs on the front top and back but not a single scratch or damage on my phone. The case is a Case Mate Barely There but I also have a Ringke Slim which would have done just as well since it's a tad longer and higher in the corners.

Bottom line: Don't underestimate slim cases.........they offer excellent protection in a slim and attractive package.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tvp2411:
Since i can get both for 10 bucks each, i will just get both. Instead of trying to save 10 bucks. Rinke seem very interesting.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] browniegirl:
Neither. O: jk!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] thereds7:
I have the S3 in pebble blue, ordered the rock in dark grey and the diztronic in matte dark blue. The rock is traveling somewhere in the world, and the dizy got here today. I am quite impressed and have relegated the black incipio silicrylic I got in 2 days ago. The dark blue goes realllll well with the pebble, fit is solid, low bulk, slides in-n-out of pockets but offers grip in hand. The non matte edge on top is genius in that regard. Looking forward to the rock's arrival though, and am glad ill be able to switch back and forth. I like cases that don't detract much from original size or color yet offer better handles, definitely think these two cases are the top in that regard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nigel9:
I have the matte black Diztronic. Only thing I would change is to order the matte blue one.

Provides good protection all around for a TPU case. Not going to do you any real good if dropping it on cement but will stop the battery and battery cover from flying off if you drop it on carpet or something.

Well some hours ago Google released jb into aosp tree..

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
I am so done with Samsung. I should have known that after the Samsung Epic, that their software updates are unbelievably/unexcusably slow. I took a chance with the 10.1 and got burned again.

I am done with you Samsung, I really am.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Lol so tell me.. Your moving to htc? Or LG? Or what ^_^? Samsung has IMHO the best high end device /support /development in android's world.. I've tried almost every brand out there and I'm very satisfied with Samsung products...

Got a gnex, gtab and recently bought a gnote...

If you want faster updates you should get Google nexus devices... I got jelly bean in my 8 months old gnex the next second Google released the preview after I/O for Google play devices..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
I honestly don't know what I will move to. From what I understand, all Motorola devices lock their bootloader, so that is out.

I don't know. Samsung has AWESOME hardware which is why I love them so much, but their software support leaves a LOT to be desired.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
well you have an android device.. it's open source... meaning communities like xda has great developers... you only need to read a bit (5–10 mins) to be able to root and flash cwm recovery into your device Wich btw its hell easy in most samsung devices... then you are ready to flash any custom roms out there... And you can ask anyone devs here in xda are wayyy more talented than manufacturer's... meaning custom roms performs wayyy better than stock roms... and you will be updated as soon as any change in aosp code happens go ahead and void your warranty xD.. there's always methods to go back to stock

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Milkman00:
Trust me when I tell you, I know. I am running ICS on my Samsung Epic device, which only supports GB. LOL.

No matter how good our developers are, they still need Samsung to do their part. FOR EXAMPLE... Take a picture with your 10.1 using ANY ICS ROM that our developers have put together. :) Plus, to be completely honest, we shouldn't have to count on our NON-PAID, VOLUNTEER devs to make the software everything that it SHOULD HAVE BEEN when released from Samsuck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
then i think the answer for you its nexus devices.. so the framewrok/drivers/kernels will be droped in aosp as soon as google releases it.. no delays really..

what i do its having my gnex so i can taste anything out there.. and so i can wait for the so delayed manufactrurers roms.. got my tab for different stuff and my note as my daily driver..

I am in the same boat as you. I should of learned with the Captivate how they do things in regards to updates but I didnt. The only way I will still buy a Samsung product is if they are making the next nexus phone or tablet. That way factory images will be provided and then I can just flash the updates myself and not have to wait for them to update it for me.

This port is pretty buggy, but overall its SO smooth. I haven't had a single lag/shutter. Only draw-backs are no wifi and audio (I don't even need to mention the camera...)

The port is pretty awesome, and I'm expecting something great to come of this, making our tabs better, faster, and way more productive.

Wifi works, sounds work and sd youtube works

New build is up and this can and I do use daily no bugs to speak of. Apart camera 3G etc. This ROM is buttery smooth and is very fluid and has hadn't a wow factor to my tab and you wouldn't go back to hc nor ICS. Try this ROM :good:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SouthPhilly:
Agree with you 100%...

For an "alfa" rom its working quite well I must say. It has become my rom of choice and can't wait to see what MapleSyrup dose with it next. It has little bugs here and there and but nothing to make me want to go back to my HC setup.

The only thing I don't like is the stock launcher... Leaves to much dead space around the edges.

But still with how this rom works in its alfa stage.... Definitely a rom to try out of a few days.

I have flashed a CM preview yesterday, this is amazing!

I do not miss the camera at all, so I do not mind it not working.

But to get around these missing drivers, maybe it is possible to reverse-engineer the HC-drivers and build Open Source drivers?

This might be a lot of work, but free drivers would free us of the dependance on Samsung releasing new Versions of their firmwares..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
and you think that in all these time pershoot our kernel developer haven't tried? hc drivers plain won't work... there's already a tab 10.1v (p7100) with ics and pershoot managed to upgrade most of the drivers to ICS and the camera drivers partially works for p7500/10 but it's not worth to reverse engineer them since the source release its around the corner

I am using Maple Syrup's AOSP JB as well, and I have found it more stable then some of the ICS Roms I was using. I have had no issues other then 1 app force closing......Not a big deal to me. Wifi and everything else works and it is smooth as butter =) and I find no reason to change to any other ROM at this time. I got tired of waiting on Sammy to do their official build, and I find it hilarious that so many other tabs and phones are getting JB and the 10.1 is waiting on ICS!!! Maybe Sammy will just skip ICS on this and go straight to JB so we can get some updated drivers!!!!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] nexo85:
If youre rooted there should be no problem. Just download dpi changer from the market. I changed my device to use the Nexus 7 dpi settings which a lot of tablet apps are being optimized for since the Nexus 7 was released. Its called TVDPI or 213 DPI. Everything is a lot better, especially font size, much easier to read.

On my i815, 213 DPI works with CM9 using the "DPI Changer Utility" app but trebuchet launcher doesn't display properly. Nova launcher scales perfectly.

I'm using this setup to see if I like the "big phone" feel that the nexus 7 has. I definitely like that the soft keys are bigger, I usually would hit the wrong key cause they're so small. Landscape mode looks a bit awkward tho.

Does anyone know if its possible to the enable notification shade instead of the lower right tablet notifications in ics?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] 九千.:
Does it really work for you? In other threads people reported that they 7.7 would hang up on boot after attempting to alter DPI.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] Gilbot:
Working fine for me:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] edan1979:
1. root your device

2. install busybox

3. edit build.prop using notepad++ on your pc.

4. btw... there is 2 same line setting for the dpi in the build.prop... delete either one and change the other one to

ro.sf.lcd_density=213

push it back to \system\

attach my build.prop with the dpi change to 213

The one i attach only for use with stock "GT-P6800" deodexed firmware... i believed other custom firmware got their own add up on their build.prop so you guys need to change the DPI yourself
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] jonamafun:
Would someone be kind enough to create a CWM flashable zip containing the stock build.prop for the P6810 on ICS?

I have the build.prop but have no idea how to create a CWM zip. I tried piggy backing of some other people's efforts but i keep getting 'unable to open (bad)' errors.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] kishd:
