If you plan on doing sports with them, there's nothing that can even remotely compare to the JayBird Freedom. They have 2 absolute killer features that make them superior to any bluetooth headset I've owned. They have a secure and tight fit, they are still operational after your 10th workout. :D

Sweat is like the ultimate weapon against every headset or earpieces. The same way the pain gun is the ultimate weapon against peaceful demonstrants in 2020. :silly:

I've earned multiple wireless headphones already that were all advertised as sweatproof, but the JayBird are the first ones that delivered. Plus, the secure fit ear cushions are the greatest idea in sports-headphones history. They are not the most comfortable to wear, but it's ok for an hour or two. They just won't slip out. And everyone with experience in doing sports with in-ear headphones knows, that even after re-arranging the earpieces, it will only seconds before they don't fit exactly anymore and have a huge loss in bass. And every few minutes you have to press them in again so that they won't fall out completely.

There's a new version of the Freedom now. It's smaller and lighter, but also has reduced battery life.

They are absolutely worth their 100 bucks and I can totally recommend them. I use them for workouts 7 to 12 times a week and they haven't let me down for a year now.

Bear in mind though that any, I repeat ANY, device with a battery has an average life-cycle of about 2 years. So if you can't change the battery (which you can't with sweat-proof gear), once you've passed that mark, you're on borrowed time already.

[Nexus 7 General] mossontree:
So pretty much I ordered my nexus 7 right when it was announced, and due to a shipping error Google wanted another 8 weeks to get it to me from release so I canceled my order. Being the impatient idiot that I am I went and bought a new one off eBay. I am aware of the screen separation issue and it seems that it is affecting my unit on the left side of the screen. It annoys me a bit but I'll live. But my question is will the screen separation slowly get worse and spread? I haven't found a very clear answer.
[Nexus 7 General] mario24601:
I would say yes. Mine was 100% fine when I got it, 11 days ago and now has lift and creaking. Seems not as responsive. Sounds like bad first batch :(
[Nexus 7 General] mossontree:
Hmm I really hope that isn't the case with mine because I don't think I'll be able to get Google to replace it because I bought it from eBay. I haven't noticed much of change with mine from day one, but it'd be nice to hear responses from a few other people so I know how screwed I am hahahaha
[Nexus 7 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
And I bet you paid 2x the price with no warranty so it can't be fixed now
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
All N7s are under warranty. The hardware has a 1yr warranty. Google will fix it.
[Nexus 7 General] mossontree:
Actually I paid the same price you would pay with tax, thanks for being constructive douche
[Nexus 7 General] mossontree:
Thank you. I'm just not sure if its worth replacing at this time because of how back ordered the tablets are. I'm on vacation so I don't have the ability to talk to google right now I just hope the screen doesn't fall apart on me.
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
I got 2 defective N7's....returned them. My plan is to wait until the 2nd "batch" with no defects. Maybe in few months, I will try again.

You should probably return and do what I (and many others), are doing. Wait.

My thinking was, I paid $275 for this, and its defective. Did I come looking for a perfect tablet? Yes. Not a defective one. Its really your call, but I can tell you the problem won't get any better.

Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] shaneydroid:
Mine was just noticeable on day one, within days the screen was visibly moving just by handling the tablet.

So there is every chance it will get worse so I would say get it replaced.

By the same token, there is every chance a replacement will have the same problem and just as much chance that you will get a perfect unit that develops a fault later on.

Suppose it's down to what yo are prepared to put up with.

Personally, if it turned out every unit in the world had a problem I would live with it and just try to find a fix but knowing that there ARE perfeclt good units out there makes it harder to live with.
[Nexus 7 General] proud_whovian:
I'm planning on getting a warranty from squaretrade for the tablet. Mine is fine but just in case something develops down the line I like to have peace of mind
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
Eh. $40 for a $200 device seems a little much.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
kinda off topic but

my screen started something very strange today..

it has these little lines about 1/2 inch long running up and down it at random locations. It looks kinda like some type of render tearing. When you twist the tablet from side to side they kinda glow then go away. They look off shades of the colors being produced by those pixels.. I just noticed this thread and thought i would post here instead of starting another Thread.. Hope you do not mind.

Its so faint i cant get a picture of it at all. Sorry about this.. My question is has anyone ever seen anything like this.. It reminds me of the grid if code on matrix but its not that bad . its always at the same position until you power off then they are right back but different / random locations. They are not lined up in any way except it runs same directing. vertically

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonforce:
My LG has a Emergency Mode loop problem that i think. If i turn on the phone, then a couple of times 'Emergency Mode' comes. If the phone is on and i reboot it, then EM can come.

I have tried everything from the possibles fixes, but nothing work.

If i plug the phone in the computer, then the computer gives the message 'Device disconnected'. So even that is not working.(driver re-install tried: not working) edit@3:53am: the usb drivers are re-installed now, 2 drivers still not work. edit@4:01am: usb problem is fixed i guess.

What should i do now?, can this problem be an corrupt systemfile what can't be repaired, or is this hardware failure ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I stupidly let that awesome car mount you sent me go when I traded my HOX. I want another one, which one was it and where did you buy it?

Also is there a nice light case with a kickstand that you can recommend?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Ouch, you really thought you were done with the HOX for good huh?

I have an Otterbox commuter. All I can say is ugg. It destroys all that is beautiful about this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] juelz707:
Agreed. And the commuter had no grip at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeepFreak:
That's pretty nice looking. How is the charging handled? I'm guessing not through the pogo pins, but is the USB charging port built into the mount or is there a cable that just connects to the phone?

Thanks,

Billy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:
Why did you make a thread for this...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
Perhaps the seidio surface w/ kick stand. I have the one with out it and its a pretty nice case. Not to bulky.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wormyrocks:
I have the Seidio kickstand case; it's very protective although the kickstand itself feels a little cheap. Also you can't have it plugged into the charger with the kickstand out, but if the kickstand went the other way it would cover the volume buttons. Overall a very tough and nice looking case though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Why did you comment on it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
It's just a windshield mount. Bring your own usb cable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah it's just a cradle, no built in charging. BUT it is a very nice cradle and it fits the HOX perfectly. The only reason why I gave it to Gunny is because I got the kidigi dock and didn't need it anymore. Of all the cheap docks/cradles I've ever bought for any phone, that one is hands down the best. Well worth the low price tag.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeepFreak:
Copy that. Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] atticusmas:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I do. I only use it when I'm using navigation though. Otherwise my HOX sits in a universal cradle mounted to my center console. Yes, I have two docks in my car. I know, it's weird. :eek:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] redeemer175:
hello friends,

recently my phone is giving me a hard time. i loose my contacts every day or every few hours, i did saved them to my ex-sd card but still why this problem happens?

thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wekurtz74:
Is anyone having issues with the camera? When I pinch to zoom in, I find the camera not properly focusing. This seems to occur no matter if it on single shot, hdr, etc. Its not ALL photos, just moist of them. Used to have thunderbolt and did not experience this type of issue there. The reviews praised the s3 camera, so i am disappointed. Anyone have any advice? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] z4fir:
Unfortunately I also am experiencing this same problem. I dont have a real solution but to use an alternative camera application, and hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Try a diff gallery. I found sometimes the gallery will not focus in. Although sometimes I have found myself dissapointed in the camera. There are 2 different cameras in the s3 one is app lower quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
You're not alone! The camera is almost always blurry for me, and sadly, bad enough for me to say this camera SUCKS. I really hope this is a firmware issue.

I've looked at the pictures on my computer as well, and they're just not nearly focused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parcou:
+1 on all of it for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
So let me get this straight:

While you're in camera mode, about to take a picture, and you pinch to zoom-in, the photo gets blurry?

Or are you talking about in the gallery when you pinch-to-zoom on a picture you've already taken?

If it's the former, I believe it's one of two things: 1) firmware issue, or 2) hardware issue. If it is indeed a hardware issue, you can probably get a replacement free of charge from Verizon.

If it's the latter, I think you just have to wait a few seconds for the phone to show you the high-res version instead of the low-quality blurry snapshot.

My sister has the same issue on her Galaxy Nexus. But I'm assuming that's not the case, since the blurriness usually goes away in a matter of seconds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
I've found the camera pretty crummy in anything but full-light settings. It's really frustrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
That statement pretty much applies to any camera/phone.

One thing you guys might want to try is using the app "CameraFX"

CameraFX has a pretty cool feature that allows you to take a pic by voice activation. I find the camera phones are much harder to hold steady and take a clear shot than a real DC (& I'm a pro photographer). Using the voice activation allows you to hold the camera super steady & then just say a word like now or smile etc when you're ready to take the shot.

I have my camera set to take a shot with the volume button, but the voice activation is still easier to use IMHO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
This camera doesn't focus properly. Period. I'll do side-by-side shots with my Rezound and iPhone. The GS3 camera is woeful in anything but full, natural light.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I agree that the Rezound camera is better, I have three Rezounds & the camera is super (for a phone camera).

I really have not had any focusing issues with the G3 although I don't use it a whole lot because I usually have access to a real DC.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

That's another issue entirely, the Nexus is notorious for having an atrociously bad camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skrypj:
+1, I have noticed that a lot of my pics are coming out blurry, I thought it was maybe because the camera was sensative to the slightest twitch and that I was maybe moving it mid shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
I think it is to some extent, turn on anti-shake, but that doesn't totally fix it. It's pretty frustrating that this phone seems like a step backwards in terms of camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
That is why I posted what I did about CameraFX.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59294739/miui.camera.apk

This miui camera works pretty well just install the apk no changes to permission needed. It does not use the ffc so use stock app for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
I'm not talking about the camera quality, itself. I mean in the gallery, when you're looking through pictures you've already taken, the pictures are a bit blurry at first, but then clear up into the original (higher) resolution.

---

@OP: Are you sure the camera is focused?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] avhokie:
I took some pictures today in my home office (have a floor lamp...decent lighting but not super bright) with both the GS3 and the Fascinate (GS1). The GS1 pictures are better. This is VERY disappointing :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wekurtz74:
It is the former. I tried camera 360 today and photos seemed ok. That app only alows 2x zoom. I was outdoors photographing dinosaurs in full sun. Perhaps i try another photo app, camera fx or something like that and see how it goes. Thank you for the reply. As I see I'm not the only one with this issue, I'm glad that we can discuss it and see what helps for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Camera Zoom FX as mentioned is a good alternative, for me I think the instant shutter makes it more blurry because you don't have any time to steady the camera after pressing the button. Camera Zoom has a slight lag. I would also try ProCapture, which I think does a better job than Camera Zoom but YMMV.

I used CameraFX for a while today, but I still getting blurry pictures in the middle of a well-light store. This is just embarrassing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
USE MIUI CAMERA. IF USING STOCK CAMERA SELECT 100 ISO instead of auto.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jonbo298:
I had some that came out worse than vaseline being smeared on it. But what fixed it for me is I just turned on anti-shake and left it on. I think the camera sensor is a little too sensitive to take a steady picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Selecting ISO 100 is going to make the problem worse unless you are in a very bright environment.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I'm wondering if your phone is defective??

I hadn't really used my camera much as I usually have a real DC at hand, but last night just out of curiousity I took a series of shots in my bedroom with nothing lighting the room but the glow from a 55" TV screen.

The shots didn't all come out well (I would have been amazed if they had), but most of them where correctly focused. They where grainy as I would expect with the auto ISO bumping the speed to compensate for the low light, but the vast majority where focused well enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
I also always have good focus on my camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
Maybe, but I've been using both mine and my dad's side by side, and they're both pretty craptastic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thecomputergenius:
I found somthing wired but it works

If you are pointing the camera at an object. and you look at the auto focus bracket. after about 10 sec of trying to focus on an object it tends to move in a different position. After the bracket moves repostion the cam make sure the bracket is in the center and green then take the pic

Truth be told i don't feel it should be this way i don't intend on returning the phone over this because the pic is great when you take the picture this way. i am hoping they come out with a software update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeriel05:
Can someone post pictures of these blurry shots? I think the the pictures look pretty good comparing it with my iphone 4s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dimeloklk:
My gs3 is taking very good quality pictures. Like someone already said, post some of the blurry pictures. And remember is a phone not a camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
I'm using Camera ICS+. You touch the screen and get a perfect focus. No problem here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
I use mine at work to take still shots for detailed comparisons. It takes better pictures than the 14MP camera I was using. I've gained the habit to check the camera window when I see a blurry photo. It usually has residue from my fingers on it. But I've been using this inside a pitch black oven with the flash. The colors are fine for me. I don't think there's a bad camera in the phone.

EDIT: Is your auto focus setting off? LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I don't use the camera in any phone very much, but because of this thread I have been playing with the G3 camera for the last couple days.

I am a pro-photographer, so I know all the trick for getting a good pic but I purposely didn't use any tricks here to make a fair comparison between this & say my old Rezounds or my Wife's Droid Charge.

I use Vignette as my camera app as it gives easily accessable options that the stock app doesn't, but I rarely recommend it to other people as it has a bit of a learning curve causing a lot of people to automatically hate it.

I have taken a couple hundred shots in the last two days & my camera works just fine. Mine will focus correctly in almost no light at all, but it is quite sensitive as far as not moving the camera causing a blurry shot.

I have decided at this point, that there are either some people who have a defective phone/camera hardware wise (entirely possible) or it is user error.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.

I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

So how do I get my phone working again? Its stuck in a bootloop after following the directions for Odin back to stock thread
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BIBUBO BCJ:
This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked

If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] snoopy1e11:
If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BIBUBO BCJ:
Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before
