[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TL24:
I thought I was the only one having this issue, good to know I'm not the only one!

But seriously though, wtf is with the WiFi on the Nexus? Its horrible! I've tried both 2.4ghz and 5ghz and I barely get 1 bar when my iPhone 4S gets full bars on both ranges!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juxsa:
I am looking at getting a GSM Gnex to replace my CDMA Nexus S (ill be switching to straighttalk as soon as I get a GSM phone). But I am a little weary due to reading these reports of radio/signal issues. The Nexus S has terrible reception especially wifi and I am not sure if I want to replace it with another phone that has a crap radio. Can any one comment?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
I don't have radio or signal related issues. My problem is WiFi. Poor range and low signal.

I guess you could get the GNex and return it if you experience problems. It's a damn fine phone. I wouldn't trade mine for any other model on the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juxsa:
I'd be buying second hand so I'd have to resell it. But WiFi is a big issue with the Nexus S also. Any other comments?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renna1992:
Any chance of seeing a fix there anytime soon?

I think I saw a bug report on this subject yesterday. You can look for it and add your personal input. I will see if I can find the bug# or url later.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexUsandThem:
Me too...

Hi all,

New to XDA but have been lurking since January. Everything about my GSM Gnex has been fantastic until I updgraded to JB 4.1.1. My Wi-Fi has been horrible disconnecting all the time. I usually listen to Tunein radio at work and now I cannot because Wi-Fi is always dropping the connection. I used to not have any issues with ICS. I am completely stock except I changed my phone to a yakju from yakjuzs firmware when I first bought the phone in Hong Kong. I see this is a common problem and just wanted to add to the post. Hopefully another OTA update will fix the issue.

Cheers,

-NexUsandThem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
If possible then please report this to the bug report on code.google.com from my previous post. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexUsandThem:
Done!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Not sure why, but this issue seems somewhat improved with Franco r221+. He made some changes to WiFi, but really they only should make it logon sooner when booting, not improve signal or drops. Either way, give it a shot! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
affirmative .. i was moved to yakju from yakjuxw .. and updated to JB OTA ... 4.1.1 .... my previous 4.0.4 worked well with wifi .. now i have signal dropping and disconnection issue... seems like no solution to it yet while being on stock JB .. except .. i do sit along with my wifi router when i have to use .. :P ....

its strange that wifi signals drops dead on my Gnex .. where as .. at the same location my HTC wildfire says .. "Fair signals" .. :) ..

lets see if we get an OTA for that ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volapyk:
Everyone with 4.1.1 OTA who got this problem please follow the guidelines posted by Ethan in the official bug thread.

Might as well just consolidate the threads and have everyone in this one carry on in the other, since it was slightly more active:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psk1:
Audio and camera fail to work. On occasion they might work after rebooting, but only to collapse a while afterwards.

I have tried various different roms and firmwares but all exhibit the same behavior.

I suspect it has to do with something more fundmental. I don't think it's a hardware problem because they seem to work even for a short period of time.

Any suggestions will be greater appreciated.

Just ordered (1) black and (1) glacier white/grey. Grand total of $59.98 shipped for the two cases.

Oh yeah, the Otterbox Commuter is $24.99 at J&R.com
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ahfu25:
Nice find!! Just pre-ordered the glacier white/grey..thanks!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slickdaddy96:
Who freaking knows when they are actually going to ship it thought! :-( I don't even think Otterbox knows when they will be available either. Otterbox really dropped the ball this time... I bet they don't drop the ball on the iPhone 5...:mad:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tenkie:
It's showing up as 29.99 for me. Did you apply a coupon code?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlappyWag:
Amazon has it shipping on August 3rd, but for 43 dollars.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
No coupons needed. I was skeptical about some other sites having them already since otterbox.com doesn't have them available. Just have to be careful with this big old piece of glass for a while longer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Just ordered a glacier and atomic defender. Along with my black one that's on the way I can mix and match colors to find what I like best. Thanks for posting this OP!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jdpdata:
Wow thanks great price! Ordered two cases as well.

May resell one for profit.:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] x86cpu:
Thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iastonish:
For pre-orders do they charge you upon checkout or charge when shipped?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
If you use debit card it holds funds, credit card get charged when it ships.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blkegk:
Just preordered the glacier white one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Man,... I was just about to order a commuter off of Amazon for $24.99 which was eligible for the Free Super Saver Shipping yesterday, but today,... no joy! Glad I decided to fool around in here before pounding the 'comfirm' button over at Amazon. 25 shipped is better than 25+SH every day of the week. Thanks guys! Now let's just hope the power button and the volume rocker don't give me the blues. Kinda wonder why J&R doesn't do the Aegis?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
Just got a pending charge on my visa, here's hoping that it ships today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mylasthope:
I've had a pending charge since I placed my order on Saturday. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
So much for that theory.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
If you use a debit card they charge it. If you use a credit card they wait.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dkormend:
Otterbox has great support, I bought my locally was like reg 45$ Cad, got it price matched to 32$.. none the less the screen protector was messed up, they issued me a whole new case complete and fast with pretty much no questions asked, amazing service!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaarry:
Already bought the Ballistic HC MAXX :( Couldn't wait!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] slickdaddy96:
I've seen some reviews for the ballistic case. Lots of people calling it garbage.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Quick question. Are there two styles of Defender cases out on the street? Just left the Sprint Store and saw a Defender that looks a little different from the ones I've recently seen in many YouTube S3 reviews. Those sported 2 clip points per side and it looked like the inside of the polycarb shell was lined with a sorta U shape padding. This one at the store had 1 clip point for securing itself in the clip and a full pad covering almost the entire area where the back of the phone make contact with the case. That's all I could see,... just enough to make me wonder if this was a 'new and improved' version. Our was on sale for $34.99. Shoulda bought it! Only thing stopping me was that I just ordered the commuter from J&R for $24.99 late last night.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
There are some knock-offs out there that look similar.

As far as I know Otterbox only has 1 defender series for the S3 in multiple colors.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Has anyone received their pre orders yet? Or even a shipped confirmation in their inbox?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
Mine says backordered now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] haza12d:
So weird... I used Amazon Checkout and when I click on the confirmation link in my GMail, it takes me to a page displaying an error saying that my order doesn't exist... :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nojak:
Got the same ones. Thanks for the tip! Saved me $40.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
You mean the Amazon checkout button on J&R's site? I tried that button when I ordered the Commuter from them about a week ago,... it gave me a higher price than the $24.99 J&R was charging. Plus the Amazon checkout posted shipping on the order. I just backed out and finished the purchase with J&R,... $24.99 shipped!

What's weird to me is that other sites have the Defender, although for about 10+ bucks more. Like I said before, my Sprint store has plenty of them, but for $50,... maybe that's why they got plenty of them. I'm just hoping that this batch J&R is waiting on is a good batch worthy of the wait and not some compromised batch enabling them to sport that $29.99 price. And if anything has been changed on this incoming batch,... I hope it's not a step back! A lot of times with stuff like this, you kinda wish you had the older model rather than the new-n-improved model. My new Manhasset music stand quickly comes to mind. My 8 year old stand way outclasses the one I just bought for my son to use, and it's the same model. All the important moving and clamping parts that used to be either heavy gauge steel or aluminium is now plastic!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bobapunk:
Too bad they have no colors that look right with pebble blue...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
There's a Glacier White on Ebay and the description gives an expected ship date of between 1 and 3 weeks! The Pre-Order price is only 5 bucks more than J&R's.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] slickdaddy96:
All pre-orders from J&R send emails saying backlog until they get them in stock. The email says that also. I imagine they will be ready in a couple of weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
I ordered the Glacier from them. I figured it would look good on the Pebble Blue. It's back ordered though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerdsisme:
This is an awesome deal. I wish they have them in white, I think they are sold out now.

They are also giving them away on GalaxyS3-Forum for those interested.

I ordered the black one from the site and used my google wallet to order.

Still shows that I have 1 item in my cart though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elosogrande7076:
Hey everyone,

I have always heard about this type of case but I havent tried one before. With the OP saying that the price is $25 Im really thinking about trying one. My question to everyone is, is this case really worth getting? Im currently have a seido case that I have had on all of my previous phones, but since I dropped my last phone and the screen shattered, Im a little worried about protecting the screen. I am also worried that the case would be so protective that the functionality/beauty of the screen would be diminish. Any thoughts? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
It probably has one of the best drop protections in a case. As for the built in screen protector degrading the screen, you can remove it like many others have done and use your own.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikec86:
Status change

Website now list the black one as ON ORDER but the Glacier white is still COMING SOON.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] reidage:
FYI: I just called the # provided for latest stock information, and they said they are on order, but won't be in until next week yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Thanks for the update Reidage! I bought a Diz TPU case from one of my son's friends yesterday to hold me over. Nice little case, but mainly good for guarding against scratches and lite bumps. Plus, I only gave the kid 5 bucks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jdpdata:
JR credit department called me today because my credit card (discover) has cancelled the credit pending charge that's been sitting there for awhile.

I had to provide them with another credit card. Asked if the Defender will be in-stock soon, they said they're expecting them 1st or 2nd week of August!

UGGHHH!!!! What the hell Otter!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
I feel for ya LALAJ! I wouldn't wish those on anyone!

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

WOW,... that far off? What's confusing me is that there are other vendors with at least the black Defender in stock. I mean they're out there. Is JR's prices so good that they've gone through their stock and everyone else's prices are so high that their stock is sticking to their shelves like those shelves have been sprayed with industrial glue? I know if we're talking about AT&T Corp stores, that would be the gospel. Those guys don't sell anything below MSRP,... I mean nothing! Why people buy stuff there is beyond me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Hey guys,... just got an email from JR! They just shipped out Defenders. Well at least the black pre-orders! Can't say about the Atomic, Boom, Reflection, Glacier, or Blush pre-orders. They even shot me a Mail Innovations Super Saver Tracking Number,... which I've learned are totally useless. Anyone else get their shipping confirmation? Anyone who pre-ordered any of the colors?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
I have had this case for 2 weeks now. Why wouldn't you just got to att they priced matched it even. Although I was willing to pay 50 for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Actually, I asked Sprint if they would price match and they said they would price match any price that wasn't from an online source. So vendors like Amazon, Newegg, and eBay are a No-Go,... I'm thing J&R would prolly be included in that as well. God bless ya for being willing to pay $20 more than you actually have to + Sales Tax. I've been taught to kinda not do that!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
Maybe you should of also been taught to do more research. J&R is not just online they have retail stores also.

Otterbox Samsung Galaxy S3 Defender Series Cell Phone Case - Black 1 Shipped

Shipping Details Note - it may take several hours after shipping before a tracking number will return specific information

Shipment Date: July 26, 2012 Ship Method: Mail Innovations Super Saver
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
So does Newegg,... they have a store front also. But Newegg is a solid 'No Go' with Sprint's Price Match. Maybe it's got something to do with having a store front in the state or in the area you're shopping. Maybe a national chain like Best Buy or Radio Shack which does both online and store front sales, and sport the same prices online as they do on their shelves. Who knows? Wasn't my point! My initial point was,... "Yeah,... they're shipping guys"! My secondary point was,... why on earth would someone pay more for something than they have to and then brag about it? For most,, that's more like a cause for embarrassment! At least for me it is,... it's definitely one of those 'pound your forehead with the palm of your hand' moments! Sometimes even backed up with a self commentary,... maybe something like "Damn,...what da hell was I thinking"! Oh it's happened to me before,... seeing something that I paid 40% more than I needed to just days earlier, but nearly every time that's happened,... I'm off, right back to the store that MSRP'ed me, with a focused mission of refund and re-purchase. A decision not even worthy of discussion,... it's like automatic movement!

But it's all good. I can appreciate your sarcasm!

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Sweet! Yeah,... that's what I got also GMW. As far as tracking, everything is cool as long as UPS has the package. It all seems to go south when they hand it over to USPS! Talk about an information void,.. whew! I'm hoping that the other colors came in with the black Defender, would be nice if we all got shipped today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
My point was I needed protection then not wait 3 weeks for my preorder. I work at UPS tough place on phones I guess I could of destroyed my phone but on the bright side I would of saved 20 bucks. And I was not bragging you tard that I would of paid more.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
All the other colors still say back ordered on them, If any of you guys get a notification that one of the other colors is shipping please post it up and let us know.

I may try to see if ATT or Sprint will price match.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Tell you what,... you go back and re-read post #43 and tell us what tone you think those words have a good chance of transmitting. Now in order for this to work, you gotta be honest with yourself. Ok? You're right about one thing tho, UPS can be murder on phones, I did a summer at Baltimore's UPS (Joe Avenue) when I was in college. That was back when bricks were roaming the earth and this marble only had one continent. LOL! Anyway I feel ya on that one and what your mission was. I think in your first post you mentioned 2 weeks,... well if AT&T is a 30 day cave, well then you got 2 weeks left. Especially now that at least the black is shipping.

Hey has anyone looked to see if J&R upped the price now that they've got'em in stock? Now that I'm thinking about it, that 'pre-order' price may have evaporated.

Anyway,... cheers tard! I mean bro!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
Got a price match bra reread post #43.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sandiegoan:
Anyone here actually have one and have a review of how it works? I work in a worse environment than UPS (who will deliver my phone next week) and would like a good heavy duty case.

But I don't like the idea of the ports plugged up.

Reviews please.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Hey John that great man. I think in my effort to be a knucklehead I read right thru the part where you got yours for $29.99 as well. Apologies! Like I said, I tried Sprint retail, and all I got was the 'Queen's No',... No No No No No! Wish I would have exchanged with you earlier, and I'da made that trip to AT&T armed with a J&R pre-order price myself. I have comfort tho,... my $30 Defender may be here as early as Saturday. Usually doesn't take more than a day for stuff to find its way here to Baltimore from NY.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
Enjoy it it is much better than the commuter. Volume and power is much easier to push. It fits well and while I did like the ballistic max case this fits the pocket a little bit better than the ballistics. the rubber on the max would grip to my pocket when I pulled it out. Sorry about the pics taken with a nexus.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jfree3000:
Out of stock now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Hey thanks for the pics John. Agreed, button and rocker on the Defender is way so much better than on the Commuter. Still haven't figured out why that is, you would think it would be the other way around. Haven't eyeballed the Max, but those Panda ears on each corner do look like they'd cause a problem with getting in-n-out of the pocket smoothly. What's your take on the Defender's screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Eureka: Defender arrived a little while ago. Fits very well,... buttons operate smoothly (thanks John),... screen protector not as obstructive as I thought it would be after reading that many had removed their protectors. Guess I'll have wait and see what weeks will do to the protector before I understand why some remove theirs. And for me, it's confirmed, this thing is not as bulky as I thought it'd be and many said it would be. Not sure how useful the holster will be since I have no habit of using one of those. Nice Case and well worth $29.99. At $49.99,... eh, maybe. At $29.99,... absolutely!

It would be helpful hearing from some of you who ordered the colors. I thinking just a little bit of maybe getting the Glacier. Thanks again everyone!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
just wondering how are you able to remove the screen protector? it's built in to the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
Just push it out carefully. Then remove the glue resin left behind. Save the screen protector it can be replaced.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 2dmaxhtc:
How many of you removed the screen protector and is the built in screen a pain in the ass. I'm asking case I wanna remove it but think if I do ill regret it, the built in screen protector make the images look fuzy which annoys me. Just I would hate to modify a brand new case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Interesting! How long have you had your Defender? I'm wondering if these protector deteriorate with a little age, cause I'm not noticing any visual downsides. But my case is all of a day old. I've heard that if you try cleaning it with Windex and some other chems, it may go cloudy on you.

So far, the protector doesn't get in the way at all,... visually or mechanically. Sensitivity is great!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Motogp1:
Defender still not available in the UK.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 2dmaxhtc:
Well I hadn't taken off my zagg hd screen protector either kinda hard since I paid 24.99 for it I guess I have to make a decision between the zagg or built in protector but either way one has to go
[Galaxy S III Accessories] johnnilsson:
Did you not read my post above. Its not hard takes less than 2 mins and is replaceable if you decide you want it back on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pwned101:
The otterbox keys are pretty hard to press..its something i've noticed. I'm using the trident Aegis case and its really awesome. I like the styling better and the keys are much easier to press.
