A few weeks ago plugged my Gnex to the SGS3 Charger and in about 5 mins, it shorted out the charging / sync port of my Gnex and burnt the charging usb micro cable tip. I'm sure it would have caught fire if i didn't disconnect it right away. It started smoking and had the electronic burnt smell.

I had insurance so i filed a claim with Asurion. They wanted to give me a Skyrocket as a replacement. I told them no, so i asked for a supervisor and she told me the same thing. So i hung up and called right back and talked to another Asurion rep and i told her that i had the blue SGS3 and needed a replacement. Within 5 mins she placed the order and i was off the phone. Got my new SGS3 in 24hrs. :)

Don't let Asurion scare you or punk you. If they wanna play dirty, you **** them in the ass!!! ;)

I was at the food court in my local mall. My friend who was there with me alerted me to the fact that a gorgeous redhead had been checking me out for quite some time while we were eating. I told him I was going to get her number and moved in for the kill, so to speak. I went and started talking to her and got her number. My friend gave me the thumbs up and left. I started walking around with her, talking about whatever. She got kind of tired so we sat down on a bench and talked some more. We sat there for maybe 20 minutes tops, then we started to walk again. Well about an hour of aimlessly wandering later I released my phone was not in my possession. The mall was closing so I walked her to an exit and sent her on her way. I totally played it cool. She had no idea. As soon as she was out of sight I panicked and ran back to the bench we sat at...to my surprise it was still there. Completely fine. No scratches, marks or anything.

However upon checking my Facebook I realized they put a status telling everyone how much I loved man shaft.

Well played, douchebag. Thanks for not stealing my phone.

So my galaxy nexus is coming tommorow but today my current phone somehow got left in the sun..

I came to it after being there an hour and the screen was 75 % black and looked burnt/ melted...

At first I was like crap I hoped to have a back up phone... and at least I would have a new one tomorrow... but after I took it out of the sun in the course of about 5 minutes the black melted look slowly started to fade out and it works fine!!! Scary though!!

Btw I happened to have a laser thermometer and I temp'd it at 174° f
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imblacklife:
Scariest thing. The day I got it stock android and verizon bloat on it. Boy was I terrified for that first hour.

never scared of dropping my phone, until i finish reading this whole thread...oh god why...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihavenewnike:
Scariest thing was when I was working on my cousins car, but took a break to look up some scores. he comes out the house dropping his ipiss in a pile of wet sticky dog crap. I laugh and he comes over hitting my phone out my hands having it fall under the hood. I hear a couple of bangs and then a big thud. My phone comes out with only a few scratches on the battery cover.... for pay back after leaving AutoZone I use Google Wallet to buy MYSELF a slurpy at 7/11 in front of him. :p:p:D:D:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
I've never had any close calls, but I did do the inductive charging mod. I thought I might mess up when I removed the screen or did the soldering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taomyn:
My scariest moment. Unloading the back of the car put my GNex just down from the back window in the surround where the boot lid closes (the sill?). When I finished unpacking, I slammed the lid down only to have it bounce back up - first I thought I just hadn't slammed hard enough which happens, then just as I was about to slam it again it dawned on me :eek:

I looked at the phone expecting to see the worst but amazingly it was still there in one piece and the only damage were two minor scuffs on the mesh shell case I'd bought just the week before. The edge of the lid came down right across the screen but the case was deep enough to take the full force of the impact. You can barely see the marks, just feel a slight indentation.

I had worse damage when I tossed a wooden clothes hanger onto the bed forgetting the phone was there and hitting the screen. There's a minute dimple that's barely noticeable unless you know where to look - odd that it's a dimple, not a scratch or crack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Wow. You are one lucky bastard. A GNex on a bench in a mall. Seriously, you are REALLY lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
well now this presents the question, how did he know that you love man shaft?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoseir2:
I dropped it down three stories from a balcony, it hit the roof of another balcony below and then fell another story onto the sidewalk and then kinda bounced-rolled(not exactly sure, it was dark outside) into the dirt. No screen cracks, just a crack in the housing in the bottom left and some scratches on the housing between the screen and the volume rocker. I was laughing for 15min out of excitment that the screen didn't crack

I was messing with some kernel stuff and I left it on my desk for a bit. Came back to a phone that wouldn't turn on and was super hot. I just pulled the battery for a few minutes and it was fine.

I also forgot about the time I was listening to some music in a crowd and went to change the song. It slipped out of my hand and I was sure it was behind me somewhere getting trampled by people but somehow my headphones saved it.

The first time I installed a custom ROM and it hung for a couple minutes. Thought I was going to have to spend $600 on a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bloodredshoes:
i nearly had a heart attack when i dropped my naked gnex with non-oem 3500mah extended battery (w/ its cheap battery door) onto a cat litter dusted tile floor. it bounced and then slid a bit on its screen.

the battery door popped out a little, but that was it. no scratches. just had to snap the door back on properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
I managed (this morning!) to upset my ROM enough that it wouldn't boot... Not boot looping: no animation... it always booted to recovery no matter what. Thank Christ for nandroids!

But the scariest moment was less than a week after I bought it when it turned itself off and wouldn't turn on again, even after a battery pull (and I was still on stock). I hadn't bothered with handset insurance and had 23 3/4 months left on my contract. Ultimately, some kind soul here on xda suggested I try booting to Odin mode, after which it started OK again.

Hmm.. probably becoming a dog toy lol..

She's already got ahold of it but I caught her before she shredded it.

Gotta keep an eye on it and put it on high places.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
Once me and some good friends went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner, My best friend forgot his phone at home and wanted to use my Gnex to call his brother whom was on his way to meet us at the restaurant. He put my phone in his back pocket , I saw this but thought nothing of it, hey he's my best friend! Well his brother took so long we ate dinner and my friend ate alot of black beans with dinner, he just loves them. I get up to go to the bathroom wash my hands and my buddy comes in also. He farts so Hard me and four other guys in the bathroom faint and go unconscious for about half an hour. When we all came to the paramedics are giving us oxygen.. I look over at my friend and the ass of his pants is burned off and the only thing left of my Nexus is a half singed tpu (SunBurst Yellow) mercury case. The moral of this story is never let your friend eat black beans and put your Gnex in his back pocket..LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kostaszx:
I nearly killed myself as my screen had some kind of permanent "ghosting" effect for 2 days after i flashed yakju, only in the thought of having totally screwed everything up. And the phone isnt even 2 weeks old!!! . Thank god it just dissappeared as i installed JB and now its all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Having stock ROM on it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] threepio:
Hey im no noob! but My phone just up and decided to brick itself last week while i was running an typical app update thru the market. had to use adb to pull my pictures off and then reset the dang thing to stock before i got it working again. Scared me tho. thought the phone was toast.

And I am pretty seasoned with flashing roms etc...

When I overclocked it to 1800mhz and ran antutu on it. When it was testing the cpu and memory the screen just starting getting whiter and whiter... I thought my phone was melting.. but it just rebooted.

I had drop my phone from a 3 story building from my porch I'm lucky it feel in the grass I just seen my life flash before my eyes lol I had a full cover on it it did not turn off nothing feel apart only the case feel off once it hit the grass and I'm still using it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d u o XIV:
I was watching football (NY Giants. I forget who they were playing.). They were down for most of the game and I was getting frustrated.

Right up until they scored a pivotal touchdown.

You know how excitement takes over, so I'm jumping up and down like a giddy schoolgirl. Meanwhile, I'm wearing shorts with loose, shallow pockets and I totally thought this was the best place for my less-than-two-weeks-old Galaxy Nexus. My phone goes flying out of my pocket, only I didn't know.

After I was done celebrating, I noticed my phone was gone. Saw it on the floor, face down. Got that heart-sinking feeling that I hate... Luckily, all was well. No cracks, no scratches.

The real scary part of the story is that since I didn't know my phone fell out of my pocket and I was jumping around like House of Pain, I could've stomped on my phone. AND I bought my phone from Amazon for ~$700 with no warranty. Would've been the best money ever spent... I imagine that is exactly what happened to me in another reality.

Took my Nexus out my pocket and the screen was cracked. I took it out my Otterbox to clean the case. How it cracked I will never know. I think my dress is haunted. Only plausible explanation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmackxiii:
Ok so I just got my Nexus 7 unlocked and rooted no problem, I have done this on a few Galaxy Nexus phone without issue.

Now here is the strange part, if I adb into bootloader then select boot into recovery it works (CWM Touch) however if I manually go into the bootloader, hold volume keys and select reboot into recover it will just hang at the google screen.

I can get out of that bu holding power until the deivce reboots back to the OS.

I can do this as much as I want, from using adb into bootloader and get into recovery, but not manually. What can i try?

I have already tried flashing stock recovery, and other CWM non touch and all act the same way, what am I missing?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicatronTg:
I had the same issue completely stock. No idea what causes it, and I've still not fixed it either.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deoneR:
same here! even with 6.0.1.0
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djd338:
I rooted a week ago and this problem drove me nuts. I was paranoid enuff not to wanna flash anything. Within the last few days it was found that you can do the 3 button thing, get into the bootloader and select recovery ONLY if the N7 is plugged into something with a powered usb port. It seems any computer will work, and I read where one guy tried assorted ports like tvs, direct tv box, xbox, etc. These also allowed the buttons to activate bootloader & select recovery. There must be something within the port which requires power in order to get past that Google screen? It doesn't matter whether your on cwm 6.0+ or TWRP. It seems to be a hardware issue as far as I know at this point.

I read where a guy said that during a bootloop, hold power + volume down and wait, sometimes as long as 50 seconds. Eventually it has always worked for him. I've had one bootloop and didn't try that method. I just connected usb cable to the laptop, held the buttons and was in. That is a summary of what I know as of now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt1408:
I can confirm that it only works if you have USB plugged in.

Anyone able to get past the red triangle? It seems to just hang there for me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
Its a bug with the early CWM Official Port i think, try TWRP Recovery
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabloking:
The only way I was able to get into CWM was to use ROM Toolbox or ROM Manager to boot into recovery. :\ Hangs for me while holding down volume and power.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salilkansal:
I plan to buy s3 but i have a question in mind. I dont like to install custom roms and only need to root the s3 in order to install Titanium Backup Pro.So if i root it and not install custom recovery and no other mod just superuser and titanium backup pro will i be able to get fota update. And also can i easily unroot it and go back to as it was before?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Don't root, BUY the games, get updates.

Cracked games are bad mkay?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Edited due to Op editing his post, which originally stated he wanted to know if this would affect his use of cracked games! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftSmoke:
Using cf.root you can keep the phone as close to stock as possible and have root, you can still get official updates through KIES but OTA downloaded updates seem to be giving ppl problems.

To slaphead20 and burden010 just cause the guy doesnt want custom roms doesnt mean hes cracking games or doing anything illegal. I only rooted my stock rom so I could fully use titanium backup and mybackup pro, plus custom roms arent that far from stock at the moment anyway so give the guy a break.

edit :- I see OP has edited his post maybe he did announce he was doing something wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Fyi......the guy has edited his post, should have quoted him!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salilkansal:
Sorry guys. I meant no offence. I didn't knew. So I can update the phone via keis easily? What about unrooting it? Can it be done?

The only advice I am prepared to give you now is that you please, out of courtesy, read the forum rules.

Thanks and im very sorry people. Will surely read the rules before posting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
If you have only a rooted stock Rom then you should be fine for receiving ota updates. Worst that might happen is you will loose root.

I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.

Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

Google Voice, however like someone mentioned they haven't incorporated MMS into it yet.

Will try Tablet Talk tho.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvi0:
Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryano89:
If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

This is for personal use
[HTC Sensation] asad510:
Is there?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No need to post what is essentially a bump post after 2 hours, maybe after 2 days but not 2 hours.

The answer is yes, you could extract all apk and jar files used by the tweaks, incorporate them into a flashable zip and then flash.
[HTC Sensation] asad510:
Can you make one ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I could but I couldnt upload it without risking a permanent ban from xda because the venom team dont share the tweaks, they are exclusive to that ROM.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
As said in above post tweaks from team venom are a exclusive to that particular ROM . Why not just use the viper Rom and enjoy the tweaks that way. That is how they were intended to be used. It would be very unethical to extract only the tweaks and use on a different Rom. that is like stealing from team venom.I don't think you want to do that...so it's best to use them how they were intended to be used with the Rom viper. Viper has many cool tweaks , that's what makes the Rom different .just enjoy them as they are in the viper Rom. Most do not pluck parts out of someone's Rom and place in another Rom. It's just wrong. I'm sure you didn't realize , but now you know. So if you enjoy the tweaks, use viper Rom. Hope this helps explain. Best wishes to you.
[HTC Sensation] asad510:
Oh yeah your right I meant no offense to any one. And yeah im going to do that now
[HTC Sensation] AlexOliv:
In my experience and opinion, the leedroid tweaks is quite similar, easy to install, just flash it and works on any sense 3.6 rom I think. Search the dev. Thread
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Sense 3.6 is not Sense 4.0

Also Sense 3.6 tweaks dont work properly on 3.33.x bases - I'm working on it

If it is for personal use then there is no harm nor foul... I rip things from ROM's all the time and use them for other roms... Just don't post it without permission!
