[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] v8bait:
OG Epic was a beast. I dropped it a lot, once i dropped it straight down and I freaked out , ended up kicking it trying to soften the fall, flew into a concrete wall and then hit the pavement. Case got scratched up some, back flew off with the battery, phone slid open, but it was fine! I think it's not the thinner glass of the phone (gorilla glass claims it's just as tough and I believe them), I think it's the design. There's a lot of surface area there, and unlike other phones the glass goes pretty much all the way to the bezel. To make matters worse, it's curved at the edges, so the glass protrudes a lot more than the older phones. Statistically even with similar strength glass this doesn't help the odds for surviving a drop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] keekah:
I think you meant to say the OG Epic IS a beast. It's still my daily phone until September. This thing has been through a lot. I plan on keeping it around as a backup.

ive dropped my s3 like that twice now... gutwrenchin experience! luckily no phone damage yet, i have a TPU case on the phone... one time it fell screen down and still nothing, i gotta stop putting the phone in my lap in the car!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smccall:
The galaxy s3 has the gorilla glass 2 which is supposed to be alot sturdier and very hard to scratch compared to the gorilla glass in the s2 but when the phone is almost 5inches and thin as **** sturdier or not it will be easier to break the plastic body doesn't help either. I will say it's hard to scratch they say you can put your phone in your pocket with your keys and it won't scratch it I can believe that because I did not thinking about it and not one scratch on the phone. I would suggest an case not the flip one either get the body glove one it doesn't add hardly any bulk to the phone and protects it very nicely. I have dropped mine off the counter in the kitchen onto the hard wood floor and nothing still perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Actually, the gorilla glass part is a common misconception. The only feature about gorilla glass 2 is that it's (20% i think?) thinner while retaining the same properties. That is kind of lame too - I was expecting it to be more scratch resistant, flexible, hard to crack, etc.

But the keys part is spot on - The material keys are made of is softer than gorilla glass so they cannot scratch gorilla glass. My friend with an original Epic 4G always keeps the phone in the same pocket with the keys. He has 0 scratches and his screen is fine. Videos that try frantically scratching phones with keys are just giving a false sense of screen strength. A true scratch test would be putting the phone face down on a table, applying pressure, and sliding it around everywhere. This would simulate sand and other particles rubbing against it with a lot of pressure.

Also, I think most drops where people breaking it from 2-4 feet are just really unlucky people. Nobody makes a post when they've dropped it onto pavement and it still worked just fine. This gives a false sense of our screens being very weak.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anil76:
I live in India and my friend in US has bought Unlocked Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+ version of nexus which I will be getting in a couple of weeks time.

I asked him to check the version number in the setting, as per him its just galaxy nexus (there was no mention of I9250) .

I have a couple of questions :-

1) Is it same as GT-I9250 ? If I buy batteries , dock etc for GT-9250 , will it work with this phone ?

2) It comes with ICS 4.0.4 ( I was under the impression that it would come with JB) . Is JB OTA update available for galaxy nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electronixgimp:
if its the play store version one, all stuff for the i9250 will work just make sure its for GSM and not the CDMA also i got mine nexus a month ago it came with 4.0.4 but i got the update right when it came out. id say to have your friend in the states check and see if the update is there and if so id have him do it and then send it off to you just my 2 cents but 4.1.1 is out

Hey guys, im planning to buy a Droid Razr in India (the CDMA one) and using it with GSM, and the guy who's selling it says that i can flash Custom ROM's without any hassle. Is it true? Just wanted to confirm.

thanks, sid.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elias.parasini:
No, u cant. CDMA phone cant be use with GSM carrier..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sid3091:
thanks for your reply, but i think the razr and the bionic have both been hacked to make GSM work as they possess the wireless capabilities.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
im from India. THe CDMA WONT work here. Unless ur on GB wherein u can get one of the ROMs and then flash the patch...

and from what I know, the CDMA doesnt have a sim slot?? I may be wrong...

check out the rimweb forums in the reputed seller section. CDMA and GSM both work. I want to use GSM, but i just want to know if Custom ROM's might work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Deleted member 3976874:
Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share the accessories I got for my GSIII

The Screen Protector: I got the ArmorSuit protector, I used to have it on my GTab 10.1 and it was great, so I decided to get one for my GSIII. I like it a lot cause it is flexible and it cover all of the screen. Installation is easy, it comes with a liquid that you spray on it before installing it so you can adjust it exactly on the screen, and then you remove the liquid using a rubber piece they provide as well.

The price is $9.95 but you can get it for $6.95 from another seller (see 3 new from $6.95). Here is the link

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00849E1CM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

The battery cover has a carbon fiber pattern, it replaces the original battery cover (the plain one). I like carbon fiber patterns so I found it nicer than the original cover. it is a little thicker than the original one, but you can't notice the difference at all (less than 1mm).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26105967464...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_513wt_1163

The gel case is transparent, and it does not add a lot of thickness to the phone. I don't usually like cases for my devices, but this one is really good, and the most important thing is that you phone remains white/blue. It listed for $4.95, but you can get it for $0.50.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheDiddler:
I know there is some button remapper thing but I'm pretty sure that's only for the newer phones like the Nexus where those buttons actually show up on the screen whereas are are 4 dedicated buttons (but still capacitive).

I was wondering if it's possible to change the soft key function of the search button to say the multitask button because I never use the search button and I do use the multitask button quite frequently, so it would be a lot faster to press the search button instead of holding down the home button.

i have that mysterious gold battery. it is o..m.g. too good for what i paid for it. my original battery is long gone and it basically closed the curtains on my anker 2700ma. i had it for about 3-4 months now and still to this day loving every min of it. im honestly a gadget nut and im always playing with my phone so for this thing to last me from when i wake up in the morning (5:25am) til the end of my work day (5:00pm) i finally found a battery that will go the duration without charging. thats internet, music, youtube, nova 3, ect. i normally put it on the charger around 9-11pm. at that point it is down to about 15%. i bought it because a female on this site started a thread about it and alot of people were iffy about it. only a few of us bought it, and im pretty sure all are satisfied as she proved extremely right to the discreditors lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
There's nothing 'wrong' with it. It was more than likely rooted via the Odin recovery method, so now it will show custom at every boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
I'm more than certain that it's happening to those who flashed the custom boot.img in Odin for root access early on. Happened to me as well. Ended up doing a complete factory restore using the stock image and it disappeared. I've rooted via the new method, am running Synergy Rom, and the custom screen no longer shows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpark67:
what happen was I accidently put gnex sim card into s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juancaperez2000:
the new method that you mention is the ones from Noxius Ninja?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
That won't make custom show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
Yep, that's the one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpark67:
but thats what happened. gnex running 4.1.1 and s3 rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
All the sim card is for is for connecting to Verizon (somewhat like AT&T's sim cards) putting the sim card from your Nexus wouldn't mean anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpark67:
As Nit3mare said s3 was rooted using boot.img but until now there was no unlocked padlock image when booting ( at least i power off the phone twice a day). It just showed up after accidental sim card swap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
Right, you say the s3 is rooted. There's your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
And as far as your sim card theory goes, I came straight from the Gnex myself. Popped my sim card in, was good to go with no issues. It's the boot image used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpark67:
it's not sim card theory. I just want to know what did trigger this. after reflashing to stock it had been gone for a while. root the phone using Noxius Ninja's tool then put back everything on the phone again like root explorer, tb, rom manager etc.. Now unlocked padlock image is back then device stature is from NORMAL to MODIFED. probably one of those apps which needs root access. now i suspect cwm. but as long as i could go back to stock i should have no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nit3mare:
I doubt you've completely reverted to stock. Flashing a stock rom is not reverting to complete stock. The reason why you are getting the custom screen, is because of the Odin root method, and that's that.

I need to connect to an Ad-Hoc wifi network. I know CM7 supported it and I know there is a CM10 alpha build, but I searched the thread and found no mention of it. I cannot post there anyway.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
Well guys, this is basically my last resort. Title says it all, really, my Atrix absolutely refuses to charge unless placed in my lapdock.

Originally, I was just thinking this was a bad charge/usb cable. Tried all of them in my house and at work. Nothing.

Next, I assumed it was a battery problem. Wrong again. My battery in my brother's Droid X works perfectly. If that wasn't enough proof, I work for an AT&T retailer, and a few days ago a customer traded in an original Atrix. I immediately took their battery and tried it in mine. Same thing.

Alright, ROM issue, perhaps. Flashed multiple versions of CM9 by Turl and Jokersax, and the Nuetrino builds. Notta.

I finally begin to tell myself it was just a faulty charge port, and that I'd need to have it repaired. Out of other options, I placed it in my lapdock. Lo and behold, she charges up, every single time.

Anyone have ANY idea why this would be happening?

I've already attempted taking the phone apart and checking the connections inside. I'm no technician, but everything seemed fine. Slight problem there, my cheap screw driver stripped 2 of those T5 torx screws during reassembly, so now I've gotta find a way to get those out before I can get inside again, if necessary. Ugh.

It's obviously not really realistic to carry my lapdock with me everywhere, although that's been my only option as of late.

If any of you guys can suggest a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Help me out, fellow Atrix users.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarsh92:
I see you tried a different cable, but did you try a different USB wall plug? Had a similar thing happen to me about 4 months ago. Could only get my phone to fully charge on lapdock. Ended up buying a new OEM USB wallcharger off eBay. Charges fine with new charge. Old charger went bad. I would try a different charger.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarsh92:
Sorry for your luck. I'm pretty sure the Tom has nothing to do with charging as you can charge the phone while its off.

If its charging on the dock correctly, then I would think the phone is fine and there must be something wrong with the chargers you are trying.

Are the other chargers you are trying brand new OEM Motorola ones or aftermarket?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
Both. No results.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
You mention charging the phone while off... mine doesn't do that anymore either, or power on at all with the battery taken out.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of short in the charge port that requires HDMI to be plugged in before it will receive current. Odd theory, I know, but it makes enough sense given the evidence.

Your problem is that your bootloader is still locked. To flash a custom kernel, you need to unlock your bootloader (instructions can be found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254087), then flash the kernel and finally the ICS rom.

You should probably flash the stock 2.3.3 firmware from flashtool to get your phone working again properly first (looks like there's only 2.1 for the X10a in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746), then unlock bootloader, then flash custom kernel, and finally the custom rom.

reboot, install went back to FlashTool, i use Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL GENERIC 1232-9897 firmware, reboot, root with Super OneClik, install superuser, busybox, make sure everything works well, reboot again and run qsd8250_semc.cmd and.....

I am everything perfect!

After this install the kernel and MILAD47 rom and everything works perfect!

Hi,

I am looking into getting a European ROM running on the sgs3 I bought here in China.

I tried downloading the official Samsung rom from UK, but I failed during installation of the modem part. It rendered my phone useless, and it took hours getting it back up with the kies and the official Chinese rom.

I used the software called Odin i believe, to attempt the update.

To me, it seems as if it is not that easy, maybe due to the modem thing, but can anyone verify that this will never work?

The main reason for applying a different rom is, that it seems that none of the Google apps are going to work. I can't install them, but they won't run. The apps seem to load, put with no message, it closes and the phone returns to the previous screen.

Anyone with any input on this?
