[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
You no i get so tired of hearing people say why put bulky cases on thin phones. The phones are made thin as a selling point. Heres the thing, yes the phones are getting thinner, sexier and look better. But stuff is gona happen to your phone. If you pay $50 for a premium case not a knock off, for exzample a ballistic maxx or otterbox defender the cases look just as good. My gf had just a seidio active on her s2 and dropped it one day while we were in mall. The case cracked and the top of her screen shattered. Every phone is thin now not just our s3. I can see if this was back in the day when the motoral razr 1st came out and you wanted to show how thin your phone was but everybody knows smart phones are thin. No ones buying the phone just bc its thin. And you see how thin the phone is before you buy it. You feel how light it is. So when you drop the damn thing dont start blaming samsung. I have an all white pair shoes that got dirty lastnight what do you think nike would say if called them up *****ing about there build quality. Point is ***** about bulky phone cases all you want but im not gona be the one making one of these crybaby threads. And when the new galaxy comes out in a year im not gona be the one sayin oh minor crack here minor scratch there. No my phone will be flawless. So why you sit there looking at your cracked phone ill watch mine snuggle flawlessly and worry free in its ballistic maxx snuggy lol

I may be the only one, but I bought the sgs3 not for it's sexiness, but for the beauty inside... I wanted a solid performer with 3rd party ROM support.

I'm rough on everything I own, so cases+ screen protectors are part of my life.. I don't care much about how it looks, so long as the screen is in good shape and everything functions.

As a side note, insurance is usually a bad deal. If an insurance company makes money, then most customers lose money when they purchase the insurance. Insurance is meant for the things you care about that are too expensive for you to replace out of pocket. In my case, that is lives, newer cars, and home.. Not that phone insurance isn't good for others, but consider whether you can replace it out of pocket, thus becoming self insured, and saving on premiums...

Billionaires don't buy homeowners insurance, and poor people don't buy shoe insurance. Most people fall somewhere in the middle, but buy too much insurance...

I'll turn Dave Ramsey off now....

Why don't you treat your device with some respect. My phone is perfectly fine, it is lightweight, strong, durable, the battery back is strong.

Maybe it was your case damaging your phone. Only manufacturing defects we with pebble blue and that was fixed right away, it was an issue with battery cover being too small.

And you should be cautious with this phone... if your looking for sympathy for your own accidental damage, we don't give out tissues... run over to Android Forums for that.

I have always been taught not to buy anything if you can't afford to replace it if it breaks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I can agree with this statement, but in my case I am happy I broke mine so close to release. I got a brand new replacement after paying my $130.00 deductible and not anything rebuilt or pre-owned. My only other option would have been to use the phone in it's cracked condition for a few months, then purchase another at full price or find some deal on Ebay or Craigslist at a future date. So, although it hurt financially somewhat, it was less than paying full price. It would have been nice to have a plan without a deductible like they have a CarToys, but they want you to pay the cost of the plan upfront.

I have the S2 Epic Touch and I just wish it was thicker and heavier... the same goes for the S3... I have experience with the S3... It feels like I'm trying to type on a skinny slate, as for build quality of the S2 or S3, I have no complaints material wise...

It is possible! But you will need to buy the Prime version and it is not groups, but different tabs where you can sort out which apps go to which tab. . Go to Nova settings ->tray -> traygroups (not sure if this is correct, since I'm running norwegian language)

People are so stupid
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] makanai:
Problem: After installing CWM, the phone won't boot fully. It goes to the HTC screen (with some new red text about this being a development-only build) and then reboots to the same screen over and over.

What I've done based on what I've read here:

Cleared the caches in fastboot and rebooted.

Run the unlock token script again.

Installed TWRP, wiped everything.

Attempted to flash CM9 through TWRP (fails).

Attempted to install Scott's Roms 1.85 ROM throught TWRP (failed).

Reinstalled CWM to try to flash Scott's 1.85, but CWM will not go into recovery mode (just goes to the HTC screen and starts boot loop again).

Attempted to install CM9 and Scott's 1.85 through flashboot, no luck because of missing text files (am I using the wrong package?).

Factory reset just takes me to TWRP, and when I try to factory reset from there it goes back into bootloop.

What does work:

I can get to Fastboot on phone.

With TWRP installed, I can into TWRP recovery.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Uhhhhh...try to relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and run an RUU. You'll go back to stock. Then follow these steps:

1. Re-unlock your bootloader using the same unlock token you used before

2. Flash TWRP from fastboot (or a one-click)

3. Reboot into TWRP

4. Mount storage and put whatever rom you want into whatever folder you want on the sdcard (CM9 Alpha 5, CleanROM, AOKP M6.2, etc etc)

5. Factory Reset

6. Flash the rom and anything that needs to go with the rom (like Gapps if you're flashing CM9 or AOKP)

7. Reboot and enjoy, be sure to update your SU binaries immediately after booting by opening up the SuperUser app

Also, do not use CWM, our device is not officially supported by the CWM team. Only TWRP is an officially supported recovery for our HOX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] makanai:

[HTC One X] nyorbee:
Hi I have notice that my HOX have horizontal strip all over the screen, I see this only when screen is off. I though it supose to by that way, and don't bother about this, I called to technical support, and they told me to send them the phone because it might be something wrong. But they told me that when I unlock the bootloader, they can't fix this for free, and if I am able to put the phone in orginal state (lock bootloader) it's gonna be ok.

Than my question is is there any way to flash some stock rom and lock bootloader? And if not if it be possible in the future?
[HTC One X] real77055:
you will not be able to have LOCKED bootloader. only RELOCKED wich is not factory condition!

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

IMO will be better to pay for that... cos if the problem is that that your bootloader is UNLOCKED. than its impossible to have STOCK LOCKED bootloader
[HTC One X] nyorbee:
That mean when I relock it I wont be able to use warranty for free? Than what for some want ro relocked it?
[HTC One X] real77055:
as i said if the problem is that you have unlocked bootloader. than there is no solution for that. you'll be able to have only RELOCKED bootloader which is not stock

you can relock and have stock rom. but not stock bootloader..
[HTC One X] hd2neuling:
The code to relock is

fastboot oem lock

But make sure, u have flashed stock-recovery before, then u can install the correct RUU.exe in fastboot-usb (RUU started on PC, as Admin and VirusScan disabled)

LG, Helmut
[HTC One X] nyorbee:
When I relock it I will be able to use warranty for free? Or they notice that and I wont be able to use free warranty?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
It will say 'relocked' so they'll know
[HTC One X] nyorbee:
I talk on chat with HTC support, i live in Poland and that what they said to me :

"Anna W.: dowiedziałam się właśnie, że jeżeli ROM jest oryginalny i jeśli telefon był odblokowywany legalnie przez stronę HTCdev to serwis może naprawić ten telefon na gwarancji. Ale nie ma co do tego pewności czy będzie to naprawa gwarancyjna czy nie dopóki telefonu nie otworzy inyżynier sprawdzając oryginalność"

Basicly they said that when I have orginal ROM and phone was legaly unlocked by HTCdev site, technical serwis could repair phone on warranty, But they are will not be sure until their engineer "open" phone and see if it was legaly unlock.

That's why there is a chance to not lost warranty.

Now how can I flash stock orginal ROM? And how do u think, it will be possible to lock bootloader to orginal state, or it is technically impossible? Or it's just a matter, when somebody figure out how to do that?

Edit: Wow its so much faster than using the buttons!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
The thing i hated with the regular CWM is there is like kinetic scrolling so it's really hard to select the one I wanted but with CWM Touch that isn't an issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I agree, for me it would frequently skip up/down more than one notch. The other problem was the "back menu button disabled" causing the power button to turn the screen off/on instead of selecting the option. I finally learned you have to scroll past the first menu option 3x to enable it again.

Dont have those problems anymore! Definitely worth the $2.:)

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I know of TWRP but never had any reason to try it, plus I think it looks ugly. Can you elaborate on why you think it's better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
It's the little things, like being able to see battery and time in recovery. Plus, it now has a keyboard so you can name nandroids in recovery or rename files since it's also got a file manager. It supports backing up partition sizes greater than 2GB which CWM doesn't. You can compress backups to save space. You can queue multiple zips to flash in sequence. If you use Tasker you can make automated, scheduled nandroids. I find it easier to navigate, like it was actually a recovery made to be touch and not just a recovery that had touch added. Swiping to flash gives me confidence I'm not gonna do anything stupid accidentily. Also, while in recovery pressing the power button will lock it so you have to swipe to unlock for those times when you're in recovery but need to put your phone in your pocket. Probably other things I'm missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:

If you install this you CANNOT go back to GB ever.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zoompastu:
And why is that? I've been running SamauriHL's script to keep my data and update since .2233
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fastpakr:
Because the FXZ back to .902 is BLOCKED on the new release.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Worse yet, you can't go forward without a full 905 or ICS FXZ, either. If you do this leak, you WILL be stuck. If you attempt to FXZ to 902, you will soft brick your phone. You have been warned. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zoompastu:
Dumb. You would think that our feedback on the leaks might help MOTO's development. It's as if they locked this one down as some form of revenge...

Glad I didn't update yet. I'lda gone nuclear.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
It's the same thing they did on the D4 and RAZR. Except they had an FXZ for the version they were updating to ICS from. We don't. If we had a full 905 FXZ we could make this work to go forward. Once on 235+, however, there's NO going back to GB ever. And right now without an FXZ for 905 or the OTA ICS, 235 ain't going forward, either. That's what I call BAD.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BasPilot:
Does someone have some method of completely obliterating data and dropping back the FXZ or some other form of information? Even if it's just some sort thing that only they can do.

Man, I don't get this one.

I'm not doing this one, that's for sure. Is ANYONE going to do that?

Thanks for the warning though!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] BasPilot:
Well that's good for most people, and good that it was able to be spotted before too much damage was done over all...

I am just failing to see the logic of putting out an open source piece of software that locks you into it. The only thing I can see is that the leaks have bothered the OS builder and this is their way of stopping us from using them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zoompastu:
By the way Thank you SamuraiHL for that Awesome script you wrote to update with these leaks. Works GREAT!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
I can give you the logic. 235 is most likely a release candidate that they feel strongly will be the OTA. And moto has put a frack ton of effort into getting all the ICS builds on the different devices to be the same. This is less of a support headache for them. By locking devices to ICS only, the support costs go down for both moto and VZW because the builds are functionally identical. That's my guess.
