What? Point was the og gorilla glass allowed you to do that. Read next time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
I guess that's a negative of having such a thin device. The benefit of gorilla glass 2 was probably offset by making the glass thinner.

Epic 4G been dropped on concrete numerous times and thrown against the wall and not a scratch after three years.Whatever glass they used,they need to keep.using it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
As I tend to agree. The Epic 4G also is a straight level piece of glass. And the Galaxy S3 has a curve to it. The only way to make curved glass stronger is to make it thicker, which I guess wasn't on the table when making the S3 because the phone would of had to be thicker.

I have light scratches on my sgs3 and evo 4g lte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
What is it with so many ( Not saying everyone here, just the majority of the complaint posts about devices being faulty ) so careless with such expensive devices? I've had my Evo4G every since it was released. The only damage it ever had was a tiny pin sized ding on the lower part of the screen from my keys. I put a shield on it then a case. After that it never took another bit of damage.

I've actually had my phone thrown by a child ( On to a carpeted floor none the less ) pretty hard, no cracks, no malfunctioning at all anywhere. From what I seen of the pictures it had to hit slightly on the corner to have the damage happen the manner it did. Also no mention of the surface or what it struck exactly.

Anyone that doesn't do their best to protect and keep these devices from being scratched or dropped ( Or in my case thrown, shouldn't have had it in reach of said child but mine didn't take damage at all ), then you're the one to blame not the company who made it.

These devices are getting so dang thin, it's a miracle that the insurance part isn't mandatory by the carriers. I think it should be, because from all the related posts across the internet, man.... Some people probably should get Otterbox cases with how careless they are. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I thought that was the issue at first since I saw like 5 cases of this happening to a blue SGS3... None with a white...

But I don't understand how people break their phones so easily. I've never cracked a screen and I've had smartphones since the Touch Diamond. One time I rage-threw my Evo 3D at the wall really hard and the screen was fine but there was a dent in the bezel. I've dropped all of my previous phones a bunch of times onto hard surfaces from 4 feet+ and none have ever cracked screens. I should also note that I've never used a case or screen protector.

FYI, there is no backlight on an AMOLED screen, as the pixels themselves illuminate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
probably because more people have the blue version than the white...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Which is true I believe, but you'd still expect at least 1 of the many to be white. Was quite a coincidence.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aquariex24:
I guess so. I had to read your post three times to make sure that's what you actually said. And I knew you had been on here so long to offer such obvious troll bail lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ghsthntr:
im shocked that there might be some people on the internet who dropped their phones, broke them, and then immediately sought an excuse to blame something other than themselves in an attempt to get a replacement at little or no cost. alert the media! your phone broke after you dropped it! clearly there must be a manufacturer defect!

update: samsung just released a fix for this issue....dont drop your damn phone.

sprint and samsung are aware of your issues with entitlement and are working diligently to resolve the issue...there is no ETR at this time.

Hi all i have been trying to update my tab to 4.0.4. Everytime i try to update it stops in the middle and goes into Clockwork Recovery. Anyone have any ideas on how i can resolve this? I have looked all over the web with no answers. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ailir:
You must have original stock ROM for the update. Without CWM and root.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
I am running into the same but different problem, also to no response.

The solution is to remove CWM recovery then install the recovery. But before you do that, check your settings to see if you may already be at 4.0.4!

Another solution is to flash update you downloaded via www.samfirmware.com via odin or mobile odin

Hi,

I flashed Task and Ktoonsez's Jellybean preview rom, and I know that LTE is not supported on it, but when I flashed back to TuchMi S3X v5.0 I am still not getting any LTE signal :S My data works, just not LTE. I'm "fairly" sure it happened when I went from the JB rom to the TuchMi, but it could also be coincidence.. :S

I tried completely wiping and reflashing TuchMi S3X v3.0, and still only get "4G" (HSPA+) max speeds. Also tried to flash this modem but it didn't seem to help at all.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Oh yea, and here are my APN settings. I tried to delete it and redo it completely, but still no go :(

You will need to go to settings, more settings , mobile networks and network mode. You'll need to turn LTE back on. Happens everytime I flash aokp or cm10. I have to do it now actually since I just restored back

It seems it puta gsm/hspa auto mode as default rather than gsm/hspa/LTE auto. I don't think AT&T users have this issue as this option isn't available
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] csingh:
For some reason TuchMi S3X doesn't seem to have that option for me :S

But I figured it out..

I wiped and flashed AOKP-ICS, changed the network setting to GSM/LTE, and restored my nandroid of TuchMi S3X.

LTE works now =)

[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
I haven't heard of that problem before.

One thing you can likely do, though it would wipe your userdata, would be to boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

To do that you would hold down the x key when booting, and continue holding it till the android symbol and triangle come up.

Then, depending on your software version, either hit the search button on the keyboard, or both volume buttons at the same time to access recovery.

You move with the volume buttons, select with the power button.

You could try just wiping cache without wiping data first, and only wipe data as a last resort.

Hope this is helpful
[Droid 2 Global General] brandonjperkins89:
unfortunatly i have tryed doing that, and no luck, the only kind of activity i get is the white light while its plugged in, any other ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
Well, the only other idea I would have would be to sbf it back to stock.

The tricky thing here is you would want to know if you had the latest OTA update or not.

If you did not have the OTA update, you wouldn't want to use the latest SBF, as there is no going back from it.

If you do have the latest ota update, you would probably want something like

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701862

That should reflash stock .629, and then give you an option to root.

If you go that method, I noticed that I had forgotten to put a line of instructions in the CD, instructing how to get into bootloader.

To get into bootloader, power off, and hold down the up arrow on the keyboard while booting up, and it should go right to bootloader.

If you have an earlier version than the .629 update, you can get any of the CD's from the Ezsbf link on that page.

That is all I can suggest.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Well the Flyer got mailed off today and my new nexus 7 arrived shortly thereafter. I'm really glad I finally made this decision, the Flyer was never this fast! I never was truly happy with it but the great developers we had made the experience worth it. It was good chatting with you all, I'll see you around xda

Best wishes, enjoy your new tab

Navigon crashes because n7 has no GPS? I never looked at the specs, but I dont think they would put GPS in a 199 device.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
wish you the best. I wished you could've held onto your flyer as well because I think you will miss out on the awesomeness of our beloved flyer once ICS or even Jellybean is fully functioning (which I feel will be very soon). Honestly I would have probably made the same move you did if I didn't use the pen as extensively as I do.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I wanted too hold on to it but I needed the money to afford the nexus. Also had to sell my PSP and zune, still $40 short on the charge. I really love the communities here and I wanted to see where chaos took Lisbon, but overall I the Flyer fell short of my expectations. Honestly I didn't get it because I was hoping for ICS, but I didn't realize how honeycomb sucked in General. Overall I am ultra picky about lag, a lot of average users would play with honeycomb and not see a reasons to complain, but I guess it comes from being a PC guy. My PC has either always had the hardware or I've tweaked whatever version of windows to keep it lag free.

But my flyer only sold for $125, not having a pen screwed me on price as most sold with the pen but at that price when I'm doing better financially I could buy another one easy:) I'll still be around here as threads show up in participated on tapatalk and I'd like to help out new users. But overall if you aren't happy with the flyer and you don't need the stuff your loosing, then sell it now before it depreciates more because this thing rocks. Ridiculously wicked fast and jelly bean is really cool :). See I remember ripping on the fire for not having an SD and I planned on getting a 32 gig SD for my flyer but never got around to it and found I didn't need it. I got the 16 gig nexus because of game storage primarily. A rear camera never was important to me, and I have never used mhl, I got a ps3 and roku box networked to my PC for streaming purposes.

I also like how much easier this thing is to hold. The back is grippy and the weight is pretty light. My flyer I'd drop when trying to switch orientation all the time because the back was slippery and it was a bit heavy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I hear a nexus 10 is in the works, but I dunno with the ipad still being the world's most popular tablet and the ipad 2 starting at $400 it seems like the 10 inch market is lost to apple unless they could hit the 300 mark or so.

I will say the Android tablet market really sucks right now because if you want the features the nexus doesn't provide then your at the mercy of a manufacturer that might keep your tablet updated might not. Honestly the update problem is more forgivable on a subsidized phone. No one holds on to their phones and if your phone gets cut off too soon, your probably only 3 months from your upgrade date anyway. The flyer will be my reason for only buying nexus products from now on. I bought the flyer and planned on keeping it several years, and if they would of just gave it ics, I could see that happening. The nexus has better hardware, but I bought it for the software, the flyer was plenty capable. Overall though htc in general has annoyed me, I never complained about poor support from Samsung with my captivate, even though I was on par with my HTC devices because it had an unlocked bootloader and updates didn't matter when you could root it and keep it up to date yourself. Chaos will make that happen with the Flyer but my phone is a lost cause. HTC put some code embedded in the device that prevents the RIL from working properly with att sims. And then this "relocked" rubbish you know I'm sorry but putting a custom rom on won't break my screen, power button, or speaker, and imo rooting shouldn't void your warranty unless they can prove you a change you made caused a power failure. When we bought our Dell laptop in 2009 it came with vista with a windows 7 upgrade available by mail when 7 launched. When I got it I put the 7 disk in, booted into it, upgraded from disc, and wiped my previous copy of windows. All bloat was removed, and I was pure windows 7 no bs. And it was still covered by warranty 100%! Imo putting a custom rom on is no different than reinstalling windows on putting Linux on your pc and doesn't warrant a warranty void. Ok stepping off my soap box now /rant

You'll be missed in this subforum, but I understand your reasons well enough. I still have hope in Chaos giving us a fully working ICS ROM for the Flyer, and maybe then I'll see you around here again :D. Have fun with your new tablet!!

P.D: 125$ for your Flyer... a bit too low, isn't it? I would have given you 150$ right now, paying myself the mailing to Spain. It would have been a great present for my mother or my girlfriend who are always stealing my Flyer ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
The Nexus 7 is great but I wish it was a higher end device with better build quality.

The software is amazing though. Everything is so fluid and smooth. Also, the amount of development is crazy when you consider that not much development is really needed! It is overkill.

I kept one of my two Flyers and still have high hopes that the dedicated devs here will get it all sorted. Chaosz-x and Dexter have come a long way and I am hoping that the UI flinging issues and video issues can get fixed.

All things considered, I don't think I'll buy a non-Nexus device again. This is a lesson learned the hard way from HTC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Honestly the build quality is on the same level as the flyer. Don't let the screen separation issues scare you off, it affects less people than it looks. People get on message boards to ***** not to praise and mine seems flawless thus far. Screen is gorgeous too btw, I noticed the screen calibration issue but that's minor and Google is going to patch it at some point.

Also it's a lot lighter and easier to hold than the flyer which I like and its overall a good looking device. I don't quite get the Asus bashing, being a pc guy I've bought alot of Asus parts over the years, in fact my motherboard right now is an AsRock, a budget brand of Asus and you'd think it was a $200 board with the features and build quality
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Too much plastic to be good quality!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I'm with you on the non nexus thing. Speaking of which development is dead for cm10 on my vivid, ril issues they couldn't overcome. Htc makes their stuff too damn hard to hack, I don't know why they care. Imo recovery should be installed out of the box, s-rubbish should of never existed as with the concept of locked bootloaders, and rooting should be an option in recovery with a disclaimer. Shouldn't void your warranty unless you break something afterwards that's the result of something you could only do with root access imo. Why do these companies care anyway?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
It might not be that easy for HTC to tell whether an issue (such as a brick) was caused by hardware, or something stupid the customer did. There are a bunch of people on the One X that are bricking their phones by flashing the ROMs for the wrong version of the One X (international Tegra3 ROMs on Snapdragon S4 devices) despite the forums being completely and deliberately separated, multiple warnings and threads instructing not to do it, etc.

Some of these guys have already said (or had it suggested by other unscrupulous members) they were going to try to return the phone for a free replacement, claiming a hardware defect. With behavior like this, its not hard to understand why HTC is locking bootloaders.

Question: Is it safe to do a "Factory Data Reset" on this tablet? This has been rooted and upgraded to 3.0 using Globatron's method.

I'm planning on selling mine with the pen, a portfolio case, and a Trident Aegis Case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Should be. You just want to wipe our personal data from the phone? You can always wipe data from CWM, as well. That I know works.

Note that either way, it just wipes data and leaves whatever ROM was flashed on the tablet. The term "factory reset" is a bit of a misnomer. It implies to some people that the stock ROM will return, which is not the case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thewadegeek:
I see where you are coming from as a basic consumer, but what these big companies want are corporate clients. While we don't care as much if our phone is secure, too a lot of these government contractors, and larger private business having secure phones is a big deals, since executives and the like will company proprietary information on them. All of a sudden S-ON and lack of root is important.
