I got mine in today. Installation was fairly easy (no more difficult than any other dry application). I'm very impressed with the clarity! I used the Zagg HD and Skinomi since getting my GS3. After installing the Realook, I'm simply astounded by how good the screen looks! I guess the only down-side is that it's not a "self-healing" type of material like the others. The package says it's scratch resistant with a 3H hard coating. Gorilla Glass, for comparison, is a 9. I expect that it will eventually get scratched up, but the package comes with 2 and it's not that expensive. Personally, I'd rather by more screen protectors every few months to keep the clarity than settle for the self-healing ones that will stay on forever.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mav3rick478:
have this on my DX, very clear protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Agreed. I'm loving it so far

via Galaxy S III
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Well, sad to say but the REALook has to go :(

Clarity is wonderful, feel is that of the naked screen, but its not sealing around the edges at all and is clearly lifted. It looks tacky, will attract dust and just isnt cutting it for me. I'm gonna give the Moshi iVisor a chance before I go back to wet application options.

Such a shame cause this protector looks and feels great otherwise

[Galaxy S III Accessories] fatboy547:
used realook for the vibrant n s2. Love realook but I currently have the spg ultra nano. It's clarity is just as good if not better then realook but they fixed curve screen issue.Try it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Its on my short list...is it wet or dry application?

via Galaxy S III
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fatboy547:
Dry.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bird333:
I have to second the ultra nano. It doesn't look like anything is on the screen. My only question is whether it protects as well as the 'self healing' protectors?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msnyder:
+1 on the ultra nano, no fingerprints at all and SGP is great to deal with
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Any tips on installation to avoid getting fingerprints on the backside of that thing?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Yeah, just like when handling PCB boards, only touch the edges of the unstuck side (if you have to). :D

Mine is doing the same thing, fine on the sides and peeling up at the top and bottom. Using it with an otterbox commuter. :mad:

I am having a problem where any time I turn my wife on, my mobile data turns off (no 4G or 3g icon, also network signal info app shows no data). Is this a designed feature or is it a bug? Running stock Rogers firmware I747MVLLE8.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghettoc401:
Well that's your problem bud. You're turning your wife on, not the wifi ;) But on a serious note, this is an intended feature of android. When you turn on wifi it turns off mobile data to save your mobile data. If you dont mind me asking, why do you want your 4G to stay put if you are on wifi?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WHYDavid:
Avoid showering. Your wife won't get turned on as often. Problem solved. :D

Sorry. Couldn't resist the auto-correct fail... If you're on wifi, your 4g/3g automatically shuts off. That's normal.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] itsjusttim:
It's definitely a "power saving feature" built into Android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aznmode:
Yup but if you text or send pic messages it will switch to mobile network temporarily to send or receive those text and mms
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fleurdelisxliv:
thats how it is on all android phones i blve at least all the ones ive had it wont send or rec pic msgs over wifi so it goes to the network then back to wifi
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tdunks:
Alright thanks guys. Is there any way to turn this feature off? I want to keep mobile data on because I have really bad service at my house and I am trying to analyse it a bit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] WHYDavid:
You can just turn wifi off. You can't be connected to 2 data sources at the same time (that isn't an android thing). If wifi is off, you'll connect using 3g/4g instead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stickb0y7:
Before the OTA, I would occasionally get the prompts to update the timezone setting, so I just ignored them and was glad to see that was something to be fixed on this update.

I currently have both my Timezone and Date/Time settings on the "use network-provided" setting, however tonight I experienced something strange - when I was in the next town, about 10 miles away, at some point my phone switched to EDT when I am in CDT. I went into my settings and everything was still set for Auto however in the greyed out timezone setting it said "GMT -4:00, Eastern Daylight Time" So I unchecked the automatic time zone box and changed the time zone back to CDT, then checked it again. Some time later it switched itself back again.

I've just unchecked the auto time zone box for now since I'm not travelling, but this is worse than before - it used to just prompt about it but it could be dismissed, now it's just automatically changing it to the wrong time zone.

Anyone else experience this yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] {ParanoiA}:
I took mine off of automatic and haven't had the issue again
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alex2x3:
Has anyone heard anything about a nice looking powerful battery case being made for the S III? I always had a mophie case for my I phones when I knew I needed them to last a bit extra.

I saw that someone said mophie is an apple only company so I'm wondering if their is any other reputable companies that are making them.

Thanks

I made a backup with CWM touch and then put it on my pc. Now I want to restore it, but I don't know exactly where to put it so it will restore as it does not let me select the location. What folder do I need to make where with what name to put the backup in.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xcor3:
Anybody here have black spots in their screen?

Its only noticeable when the room is dark and the screen is dark.

For example, when I'm about to go to bed all lights off and I read stuff here on xda using the dark theme. I notice some black spots in the screen. They're everywhere in mine and its annoying.

Can you guys try it and let me know if I'm not the only one.

To see it better try using screen filter app from the market and lower the brightness.

Download the picture and open it with gallery. Zoom in to fill up the whole screen. Let me know if you guys have this too

you're not the only one. it's a known thing w amoled screens. i have 2 big ones near bottom of screen n many tiny dots. doesn't really bother me. don't wanna go through hassle of trying to exchange not knowing if new one would have or not
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xcor3:
Yeah me too. I guess it is normal. Lol

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ThC23:
Yeah, at this point it's pretty much normal.

You should of seen all the fuss people made about the S2 and even donated a phone to a well known dev to try and somehow fix it only to never get anything back from that dev and everybody's phone still remained the same. Lol.

Some might have it more than others, but at the end we have no choice but to deal with it unless you want to get a different phone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TweetyBear:
i'm dealing with it lol this is my first samsung amoled phone and didn't know about the issue til i saw it one night and was like wth? lol but even then, it didn't bother me since you can only see it in a dark room on a black screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Forgetfull:
Welcome to the joy of Oled, thx Samsung.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] em2drvr03:
I just tested my screen and I have a few very tiny dots then a really nice size one which I wish wasn't there. The little ones don't bother me so much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
I finally got around to testing mine last night, too, and I got lucky as I couldn't detect any ink blotches whatsoever. Even when they are there, they're not noticeable in regular conditions.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Download a completely black image from google images or wherever.

2) Open it fullscreen, turn your phone off, turn the lights off.

3) Wait 10 minutes for your eyes to adjust to pitch black darkness, then turn your phone back on with the black image displayed

4) Check the screen for non-uniformity
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stinkynoon:
I have the problem as well. It does suck, but for me it's not really worth having to go through the exchange steps to get a different one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Red7521:
I always wondered about them but figured it was just normal I have a big one dead center of the screen. Kinda like a target. Lets hope not for that reason though :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SiNJiN76:
guess, I got lucky. My first S3 had 3 spots. The new one is clean! :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] phzi:
I'm definitely disappointed with the blacklevels on this display - at least when viewed in extremely dark environments.

I have 1 quite significant black line, and a few dots too. Bleh... wonder what's changed since the S1 screens - black levels were WAY better, and none of this ink marking.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dennistpm:
I noticed the black dots, too, but I was able to make them go away with some carefully applied Liquid Paper. No more black dots. Does anyone else have a problem with white dots?

i found out the GN do not compatibility with some netgear wireless router...the issue is wifi disconnect after screen lock..i have netgear wireless router model:WNR612V2 and wndr3800..both of them have same issue with my GN..i also have other dlink/tp-link/asus wireless router...and they work fine with my gn....i tried recovery factory setting...also tried flash 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 android version...still same issue... anybody has same issue like me? or found out how to fix it?..TKS for any help...and forgive me poor english...TKS a lot!...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
No issues with wndr3700 here.

On your gnex, go to setting gas, WiFi, then press the menu button go to advanced and check the WiFi sleep policy. Make sure it's set always on "keep WiFi on during sleep"

Have wnr 1000, works perfectly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
already set "always on"...never change from got GN...so i don't understand why i got this issue with all my netgear router...my dlink/tp-link works fine...but they all broken...thats why i replace them to netgear...:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jyveafk:
One quick thing to look at, that seems to pop up now and then, what's your DHCP lease set to? Setting to '0' (that should be forever) doesn't work as well for some chipsets it appears. If you just have bad luck getting/keeping a lock on your router, try changing the dhcp to something else, 2 weeks ish? Play with it.

Might be something else entirely, but after having seen this 3 times now, it's worth a bash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
TKS for replay...seems netgear wndr3800 not allow change the dhcp lease set...there are not option about dhcp lease set...and as my custom...i have set the gn as a static ip...so it may not be effect to the dhcp lease set...both wnr612 v2 or wndr3800...all of them not have option to set dhcp lease...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
What type of connection are you using on the wndr3800?

2.4ghz, 5ghz?

And what channel, since you have two routers, make sure they're on different channels and opposite, set one to 1 and the other 11 or 6.

Also what type of security? wep? wpa2?

Try using 2.4ghz, i found the 5ghz isn't very strong/good with gnex.

Also you can try with NO security and see if it works better.

...

worse comes to worse, reset your wndr3800 back to default and regular dhcp no static, no custom settings for anything and go no security on wifi or go wep.

...

Also, since you have 2 routers, you have them set so that only 1 is doing the dhcp and the other is turned off right? you can't have 2 routers doing dhcp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
TKS for you replay...both 2.4g/5g..yes..5ghz isn't very strong/good..and i test every possiable setting...include no secuirty/wep/wpa/wpa2...dynamic ip/static ip...nothing change...

i have 3 netgear router..2xWNR612v2..1xWNDR3800... 3800 is a host router...612 connect to 3800 via wire...because there is low signal in the corner of my house..so i use wds to make it stronge...but 3800 only support no/wep to Encryption...and 612 can use wpa/wpa2..and i set the 612 in channel 1...3800 can support auto select the best channel...i used wifi Analysis software to check the channel...in many time...3800 used different channel...so i think it isn't the reason for this issue..i tried independent test every router..got same issue...:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Always worked fine with my 2.4ghz 802.11g (can't remember model#) Netgear router. Never had issues with other routers too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dchn2:
i worked round it by not using DHCP on the phone, change it to manual setting and assign an IP (or keep the current setting) to the device (long press on your connected wifi, then choose modify; for some reason adding new connection only accept DHCP by default). need to do that at the router end as well, edit the lan setting and record the phone MAC address to that IP. someone on another thread mentioned, if my memory serves me right, that GNex can have wifi issue with some routers' DHCP setting, causing it to drop connection when new lease was issued, and this is the reason why i choose not to use DHCP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
TKS,I try it…hope it can work…:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I.VanCamp:
Gnex takju stock + Netgear WNDR3700 (running DD-WRT) WPA2 PSK = Total failure to connect.

It was fine with ICS, but since the OTA it will not work despite trying every setting and factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
it may cause by DD-WRT…i use netgear stock fireware…never try any 3rd fireware…
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
I tried your suggestion,unfortunately,issue still…in my friend's coffe shop just now…gn wifi works fine with his tplink wireless router…received any push message/email fast under screen lock…so i still believe the issue cause by netgear router…or the setting with it…:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
seem i found out why this issue comes....

the GN can connect to all dlink/tp-link wireless router and never disconnect after screen lock...so i check the advance wirelees setting about three sets include netgear.dlink and tplink...i found the netgear has a few option you can set about advance wireless setting...the other two router have very detail setting about wireless...read the help text...i found the beacon peroid may cause this issue...default value is 100...so i tried to increase the value to 200..oops...the gn disconnect the wifi...and i can't receive any data...just like the email sync,weather sync,and google play push soft install...then i decrease the value to default..the wifi work fine,i can receive any data under the screen lock...then i continue decrease the value to 50/20..nice...no any issue...so i believe is the beacon peroid cause this issue...but the question is the netgear never has a option to let me change the bacon peroid value...so i will connect to the factory...hope they can fix it in the near future...

attachment: what is the beacon peroid

beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices...specify a beacon period value between 20 and 1000 the default value is set to 100 milliseconds...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
i tried any possible setting..but nothing changed...can you post me your wireless setting in wndr3700...just like basic wireless settinng and advance wireless setting? ...TKS...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
My main router is my FiOS router, that does all the DHCP, I have one of the ports plugged into my WNDR3700's port (not WAN port), I use the WNDR3700 for all WIFI devices.

I have DHCP turned off on the WNDR3700

Basic Wireless Settings

Both 2.4GHz b/g/n and 5GHz a/n I have SSID broadcast on, and set to Up to 300Mbps.

2.4GHz set to Channel 03, and 5GHz set to channel 36

I use WPA2-PSK [AES] for both radios.

In Advance Wireless Settings, it's all default.

Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are the same:

Fragmentation Length: 2346

CTS/RTS Threshold: 2347

Preamable Mode: Automatic

Transmit Power Control: 100%

That's it, I do have MAC Address Filtering too, but that shouldn't matter.

Again, everything else is default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icilymoo:
TKS for your reply...every setting is same to yours...except the internet connect through by WNDR3800...my friend got another GN yesterday...and has the same issue in my house (he used tplink in his house,and work fine)...i used his GN do more test with my wndr3800 and wnr612...same issue...

i'll try do most test again and again...

again...TKS for your help...

How is it that we are all just consumers who have the same device and enjoy building and hacking our said devices. We all try and work together and help others and when one of us is cast out for there misgression and forced to join a new community to continue being a consumer who wants to share and enjoy his works and accomplishments. That we cant even help our own community who might have enjoyed his work or his banter and befriended him. To find and give an easy way to get to where he is now. All because he was deemed a problem to our community. Since when did the police run the world? Just because there are laws does not give the police the right to just shoot dead a murder unless forced to. And then he is then looked into for possible crimes. When a murder is found he is put to justice from a group of his peers. Well I don't remember anyone deciding that anyone was deemed guilty and should forced to be banned to another community. Regardless of the "rules". Anyways this was my rant. I dont even care truthfully about who was banned. I just can't stand when authority chooses to abuse there power or at least throw it around Willy nilly. This Is a free community and to be told we can not choose to give out information even if the information is so that others can find banned members is not considered fair. And I infect just might have to find a higher up mod or even a possible site creater. If this nonsense is forced to continue. Yes I could choose to leave like many others. But why should I? This is just as good a place as any. The people in power and as well the idiots who make trouble are what is making this place unusable. And is why many people ate choosing to leave and join many other places. Alright I'm done. Ban me, delete this, lock it so no one can agree with me. Take away my right to speech. Do as u so obviously will. I can create accounts to my life's content. Good day.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlos805424:
Sir I agree with you completely! The mods just go willy nilly banning and deleting/locking posts left and right when it was some of the mods that was giving out IP addresses. What's dumb is that anyone can easily change their IP and just make a new account. I do it every 30 minutes so my desktop can't be traced. The mods need to come together as a group and then decide if said person is guilty not just have any of them banning anyone they don't like. C'mon guys this is a community not a dictatorship. Were here to develop and help others make their devices better then what was originally handed to them. Mods just be fair that's all we ask. Delete me or block me or ban me if u want I'll just change my IP and Make a new account.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] PG101:
Can you imagine running a site of 4+ mn users? And then without knowing any fact - out comes the accusations.

A ban is only warranted as a last resort and not something we do because we "abuse" powers.

The op mentions that he doesnt even know who was banned and for what reasons, so i guess the complete thread becomes redundant.

We are not here to police anyone and the least to ban anyone.. we love our community to grow, just like you do..

Lets keep up the spirit of XDA alive :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jenkem110:
You dont say?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kevsthabest:
More out of curiosity but what was the action that was deemed ban able ? Since the posts it selves were removed and censored the members of this board are only seeing the hammer being thrown at the members.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MondoMor:
No truer words have ever been spoken. This place is right up there with the goofiest. :rolleyes:

From the little bit I've been able to glean from what's been left un-deleted, it seems a perfect storm of insecurity, disrespect, ignorance and arrogance has struck the Vivid forums these past few months.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Correction: Pretty much ever since its inception.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theshamrockking:
My main point behind my post was that I thought it was unfair and complete nonsense to delete and edit/censor a topic made for our community by someone who was not a banned member and didn't tech.fiscally do anything other than try and help "us" the community find the work of someone they might enjoy the work of. New community where he now resides. And the mods response for why was u were linking to a banned member. Well who gives a **** he isint here on "your" forum. So why try and bully the rest of u's because the mod or mods had a person opinion on the person. Now that the member has been banned its none of your business if any of us want to still be in contact with him. And to try and control who we choose to stay in contact with is just blatantly an abuse of power.

I'm sorry if my original post didn't make as much sense as it should have. I went on a complete rant.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theshamrockking:
And you have a huge point. No one ever knows anything. And the rest of u's are left Pissed or feeling betrayed by the mods. For banning someone that we might have liked.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theshamrockking:
Haha :) thx lol I didn't choose to proof read it. I was on a rant. Just didn't pay any attention. I even rambled a lil. Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theshamrockking:
I agree.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shogunmark:
The links (meaning more than one) that were contained in the posts themselves were a violation of the rules. Second, the content at the location of one links was directed to a whole thread on a different site that was nothing but false accusations. I personally felt that this should have warranted a ban of this other person, but after discussing with the other mods, i was shot down, so he was just warned. You should be aware that the mods act as a team, we do discuss things like these and get second opinions to try to keep everything level and fair. I am not saying we are perfect, but everything does generally end up in a discussion.

As stated above, the Vivid board has been a huge problem and pain in the a$$ since the beginning. People can blame the poor marketing strategy of device which resulted in slow development. But ultimately it boiled down to a lot of disrespect among members and dev's who failed to get along. This board is the furthest thing i have ever seen from a community effort, it's quite sad how the people on here have acted. I can honestly say that i have never experienced anything like it since i joined XDA back in 2006.
