[Galaxy S III Accessories] thatg:
no the band is the only thing that fits the phone well, im referring to the bit on tpu that sticks out past the band around the edge of the front glass, if you nudge it at all its very lose and also is very angular and uncomfortable to touch
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SpydaPig:
Yeah I think you did get lucky, because the cut out on mine was not even centered like how it is with yours. The holes on mine came down more to where the camera, lights and speakers are. And in the front, the top part of the tpu covered the silver bezel but hardly covered the bottom part. Close enough to where it looks like the tpu was sagging. I was so pissed that I literally wanted to cover the case in gasoline and burn it for how ****ty, it was lol. I honestly think that the feel of the case just feels so cheap. I have a few other tpu cases I purchased on eBay at a much cheaper price that felt more of a high quality than that piece of crap that sgp made lol. But alas, I returned it back to sgp with an e-mail stating that they did a piss poor job with the case lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eiraku:
I guess I'm another of the lucky ones. My cutouts fit perfect, and I have no issues (besides the whole oversensitive buttons issue) but I can relate to the whole "looseness" thing.

As far as TPU cases go, the NeoHyb is definitely not cut to be "tight-fitting" like the some of the other TPU cases I've seen. Without the band, the TPU base IS loose fitting.

With the plastic band though, the entire assembly is tight enough that any attempts to pull it off usually takes the battery cover along with it.

Also, the TPU is more pliable and softer then most other TPU cases I've seen, which makes the "loose" feeling even worse, but I take it it's made that way for better impact absorption.

It's definitely not soft and stretchy like silicone though, which I hate.

So, is the NeoHybrid a perfect case? No. The plastic band is too thin, too slippery. The TPU back is not rough enough. The buttons don't really work without modifications. The TPU rim around the screen, as the OP said, feels "sharp" enough out of the box to be slightly uncomfortable.

Yet, for some God forsaken reason, I like the bloody bugger and I think 20 odd dollars is a fair price for it - considering I've dropped the phone a couple of times already and the case has been doing what it's paid for with aplomb.

YMMV though.

I DO have the Incipio Faxion - another TPU/Polycarb hybrid case I've seen out there - on order though, and plan to do a comparo as soon as it arrives.

Considering I got both at around the same price, it should be an interesting comparison.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
I think people are being unreasonable here. This case isn't supposed to be as hard as other TPU cases. That is why there is a polycarbonate hard frame. The whole design philosophy of the Neohybrid is super soft inside with hard shell structural support. I am glad they went for the silicon feel.

The capdase soft jacket feels basically like silicon for anyone going for that type of case. The modello is quite hard by the way. Almost as rigid as a hard snap on shell.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SpydaPig:
Doesn't feel super soft to me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SpydaPig:
I ordered it straight from SGP when they were doing the pre orders. So I'm pretty sure it's genuine unless they're lying and are just making some fake products. They gave me my money back though so it's all good. I'm pretty sure those cheap imitations probably turned out better than their genuine product lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ricey:
I think they purposely designed it a bit softer than normal TPU cases because of the fear of sagging issues. I've had many "tight" cheap TPU cases from ebay where after a time the heat from the phone would cause the "tight" TPU feel to fade and eventually become so soft and stretchy it became unusable. They're cheap though so just bought replacements :P But yea, the SGP might be worth the price if it doesn't have the issue. Still waiting for mine >_>
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
Let's just say the plastic frame would do absolutely nothing except make the phone fatter if they used a harder TPU. It fits like that on purpose.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrthirsty:
I've had my color hybrid for a week now, the only issue I can think of is that the power button doesn't feel like I get a good click. It feels like I'm just pressing into the side of the phone.

Not sure if trimming the nub will help that out or not.

Cutouts look good and my volume buttons aren't super sensitive like other people's.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] King Shady:
Angie thanks for posting pics, the case looks perfect! I can't wait for my orange one to come in :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
Earlier today in the morning I was at the gym and I was trying to pull the phone out of my pocket while listening to music so I could switch songs (using different IEM's). Somehow I guess I just whipped the phone out, lost my grip, IEM came out of the jack and it flipped into the air over my head spinning and fell on the ground with the screen facing the ground. I heard the "thud" cause it was dropped on a wooden floor and at that moment time just stopped thinking to myself "only had this phone for less then 2 weeks" and it's better not be F****N broken. Picked it up and the phone was perfectly fine.

I'm not sure if the same would have happened if it fell on a cement flooring or just outside in general. But it survived a pretty bad fall due to my clumsiness. Basically whip your hand out of your pocket is what happened and the phone went flying...

Luck is on my side I guess. Still thinking of getting the otter commuter case though but not sure I want more of the bulk as with the case on it's a bit hard to reach part of the screen with my thumb on portrait but with the case off it's fine :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Nickel Dime Bay:
That ebay case looks pretty good!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nucgaek:
From what I've heard, this case is extra slippery which if true was probably the cause of the accident in the first place
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1meanrex:
After the gs2 Neo hybrid I'm actually surprised people are still buying this case. I mean don't get me wrong this case always looks bad ass with all the color combos but it seems like the idea of the case is severely flawed especially the back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
lol another accident happened today, left my phone like 1/4 of its size on the counter top in the washroom and it fell directly on to the floor having the screen facing the floor. Picked it up and again nothing happened to the screen or the functionality of the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] unique77:
I had preordered the infinity white and when I read about the case problems here I also sent them an email regarding the issue. They promptly replied noting that they were aware of the problem and I would receive an updated case. It was supposed to ship the 13th... obviously they delayed it for this reason. Those who are buying off of amazon are obviously getting all of the first batch. Don't buy amazon ha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I got that email too. I decided to stick with the infinity white even tho it was a hard choice between the infinity white or rubine red. The rubine red looks good too lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] King Shady:
Ahhhh dammit. So my green Neo Hybrid comes in today and the volume buttons are literally unusable and the power button is super sensitive. Love the look of the case, love the feel of the case.. but this is just disappointing. It came with a very nice screen shield too! (which is a pain to put on though lol). Soo, how did you guys cut the volume button cutout and power button? Did you just trim it a little bit? Thanks all
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrKaotica:
Took the case off (obviously) then I just used a pocket knife and worked the little tabs off the insides of the buttons.. works like it should now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] King Shady:
Ah ok gotcha, I see those tabs you are talking about. Thanks man
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lilmoney30:
I also did the same thing,it was posted in my review of the case from a few weeks ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Damn it so I bought the case off of someone here and I got the emails posted earlier by another member and now they want the order number from me which I don't have cuz I bought it from someone here. So close lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrKaotica:
For the price tho.. I would infinitely rather use my seidio active than that spigen.. just saying...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scotiwis:
Awesome

I just got mine today - Infinity White. Looks like all orders now are the revised design because I have no issues with the buttons whatsoever - work perfectly.

As for the case, it looks fantastic!! Have tried numerous cases on the S3 since I got it and this is far and away the best.

The purple is dark purplish in some lighting conditions and dark grey in others - looks great.

The white border looks great.

Is no more slippy than any other case I've tried, I wouldn't call it "slippy" - the sides are actually quite grippy, the back is slightly slippy but if you're worried you can stick a little case grip sticker thing on it as I've had to do with other cases - but I'm not bothered with this one, the overall grip is fine.

All up highly recommended - best case I've seen or used so far :)
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
Ok guys i have noticed one thing since the jelly-bean boot came thundering down apon us and we made the break within hours to get jelly b running for the thankf of dev's alike as randomblame and waydownsouth.

Have we stopped checking or official though? did a search and seems there may be offical jelly bean for us.!!!........

be it that we may have to wait until the next big android update is due to get it from our update-unreliable Acer lol.

just dont understand why the site says the a500 is only available in india......err im in london bought close by retail mofo.

http://www.themobileindian.com/news/7795_Acer-to-upgrade-several-Iconia-tablet-to-Android-4.1
[Acer Iconia A500] Anthony820:
Of their different tablets (100, 200, 700.. etc) only the 500 series is available in India. Not you can only buy it in India. Those are the only ones you can buy in India.

and good find. WDS is doing excellent work, and at worst, this would only drastically speed up his efforts.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
i would say its pretty likely as the a500 is one of the acer flagship tablets :victory:
[Acer Iconia A500] a.child:
Will USB devices still be supported in JB (and future releases)? The number of tablets with USB ports is decreasing.
[Acer Iconia A500] Drewmungus:
They should be. The new thing is USB OTG. That pretty means with the right adapter( Micro USB to full size USB) you can still do USB host( mice keyboards, thumb drives etc). On phones I think this is a good idea, but on tablets I think its a bad idea. The full saize port was one of the reasons I bought the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
i would think, so android supposed to be adding more and more applicable usb drivers to accept more usb "add-ons" it wouldnt make sense to start removing one of the best features of android, like Drewmungus says they will problably just change the format on new tabs for OTG, which in my opinion is bull****, i already have a full size to micro usb cable lol
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Well, let's see... my Nexus 7 has a USB port. Jelly Bean came with the Nexus 7... so, I'd say... yes?
[Acer Iconia A500] Joey22688:
nice, I was thinking acer would just abandon it like many other companies that released newer upgraded versions

now I guess the only question is how long will it take to actually get the update...
[Acer Iconia A500] a.child:
I wasn't aware that the nexus 7 had a usb port on it, but I'm glad to hear it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Joey22688:
nexus 7 has a mini usb port (the same exact port used to connect the a500 to your comp) not a full size usb port if thats what you are referring too
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Probably because a fullsize USB connector is almost as thick as an N7...
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Is the micro usb port a hub or just a charging port on the nexus sorry for ot. Also are there any other jb a500 roms on the web anywhere besides wds's?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
It's a full-on USB port, that also charges. AFAIK, you can use standard USB devices with a dongle adapter, and you can also plug in a USB hub, too.
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Thats interesting to know thanks I may have to get one after all :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] Gogeta_138:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus7king:
Have flashed and rooted - can someone confirm

a) OTA updates no longer work - what will happen if I accidently OK the install prompts - is there any way to suppress these?

B) best app to made backups - clockwork recovery with titanium backup - if I make full nandroid - will titatium restore all apps fully?

c) I plan to test out paranoid android first then probably the modoco ROM - any other suggestions

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberCitizen:
A)No, OTA updates will not work if you're rooted. I don't know what would happen, but it wouldn't be pretty. Don't sweat it, just don't accept the update ;)

B)I back up my apps with titanium backup, so j can restore them onto new ROMs that I flash and still have the same in app data and whatnot, but if you do a nandroid, it will backup everything into a (somewhat large) file, apps included. I use ROM manager to create my nandroids, but you can do it in clockwork mod recovery without the app too.

C)As for what ROM, its a good idea to try a few out, then settle with the one that you like and enjoy using the most. I would suggest at least try out the glazed jellybean ROM, super smooth and stable :cool:
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenca:
I've successfully installed CM7.2-A8.2 on my phone with the ultra OC kernel, and I had no problems up until now. The thing that got me to register and eventually create a thread is that the camera - which I know is not fully functional - is a bit buggy. I can live with the messed up preview thing, but somehow 1/3rd of all my pictures are being taken later than other parts of the picture. That is a bit annoying, and I wonder if there is any solution to the problem. I tried to put the minimal core frequency up to 360, that didn't help.

Looks like I can't link a picture properly, so I'm gonna do it the ahrd way: bence .heilig .hu /IMG_20120801_221900.jpg
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkhuysmans:
Very strange indeed, did you instal another kernel to CM7.2-A8.2 or just the one that is with the ROM.

I have noticed that other kernel's can somethimes provide weird results.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenca:
Actually the kernel I have is not for the A8.2 but for the A8.1a, but I have another phone with the same kernel/ROM (my father's) and the camera on it works just fine. As far as I know A8.2 has no kernel included.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martialaw:
Try g2mod 2.5 kernel, I had some strange bugs on CM7 before using that.

Have you tried different camera applications? Camera360 and Camera Illusion work quite nice with CM7.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenca:
Thanks, the g3mod 2.5 kernel did the trick : )
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidvoodoo:
any kernal can be used

no any kernel of this device can be used......I use A8.3 ROM ND Alpha8's ultra oc kernal and it works fine.....just try flashing another kernal or just update Ur ROM to 8.3

I'm on SOS M 2.4.5, running the AOSP de-sensed version. With the AOSP lockscreen, is there a way to align the clock, date, etc to the left rather than the right?

Thanks!

You could try one of the lock screen mods from d3rprom. I recommend doing a nandroid backup first. See this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27051538

Their bareback version is desensified just like SOS, that's why I recommend them. I've used them. They look just like aosp except they allow for answering calls from the lockscreen. Nandroid backup and try it. If you don't like it (I think you will), restore. No harm, no foul.

how do you restock? Overcome's GB-stock-safe?

What ROM are you booting into now?

I restock via Odin.use gingerbread stock,pit file and then dbdata.Odin show fail but boot on gingerbread when I again tried flashing.it happen to me before too as once by mistake i restore stock nandroid over cm9.

so currently on gingerbread.right now downloading over come gb stock safe v5 ll try flashing it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raman.sherry:
baseband is unknown.i flash aokp again that may be that correct it bt didnt works.can i install gb stock safe directly over aokp 40# or again hv to restock.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
you have to restock when coming from MTD rom like AOKP or CM9.

even for nadroid restore you have to restock then restore.

when restock, it is best using GB-stock-safe.

use its pit file and it also has modem files.

Edit, are you referring to GB-stock-safe when you said "overcome rom"?

Overcome ROM is a different thing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raman.sherry:
yes gb stock safe i was about to correct that.i install bml my mistake due to rom naming confusion :(

now ll gb stock safe help in getting baseband?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
honestly I don't know about efs.

I read of people losing /efs due to bad kernel, but got it back with good flash.

I don't get it because I thought /efs once is deleted it is gone unless there is backup.

Anyway, you have checked your sdcard, no backup?

and GB-stock-safe can be flashed coming from aokp.

that is how we restock.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raman.sherry:
i didnt create any backup bt there is auto back up one with name efs and another with efs-294 .

and where is modem file for gb stock safe.it is not in zip file i download.only rom,pit file and overcome kernel.

Gb safe stock works.got my imei back.i think problem was related to modem file.thanks a ton man.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sos_sifou:
even if you delete efs folder, android will generate a new one with a different imei, its a real problem because he will find a hard time with his apps (paid ones) i tried the new efs once and i can't use my Samsung paid apps anymore, when restored my old efs, it works again.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Rooting is easy, and reversible. It's the bootloader unlocking you shouldn't be doing. Check out debugfs' root in the transformer prime section. It works for the infinity too.

Rooting can be reversed, but the bootloader unlocking cannot.
