[HTC One S] averagjo:
Protect your phone people

I hear a lot of comments about this phone in particular having screen issues, but I can tell you from personal experience it's been excellent to me. Why? Because I have it in a good case and have a screen protector! I dropped it from 7 feet onto the ground and the screen didn't crack or scratch just scratched the case. All one must do is look at ebay to see all phones fail this test! You can find any and all models of phones on ebay that have broken screens, so the truth is anything glass has the potential to Scratch/Break so act accordingly. Ok now I am off my soapbox.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/HTC/HTC-One-S

One S is definitely comes with gorilla glass because we are using AMOLED panel from Samsung and they made it with gorilla glass.

http://www.htc.com/www/why-htc/partners/Corning-Gorilla-Glass/

HTC official info said One S is gorilla glass.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I noticed that my One S has anti-glare on it. Could it be the anti-glare that is scratching off and not the actually Gorilla glass? In any case, even some of the iPhones that had a certain model Gorilla glass scratched easier as well.
[HTC One S] 350Rocket:
I personally have no issues, I have scratches on my One S and a small terminating crack at the top left of the glass outside the actual screen viewing area. However I bought this phone used and it has gouges in the aluminum all over looking like it was dropped pretty bad at least once. That's why I bought it for like $115 at a pawn shop and at least nine months later it's no worse than it was even though I have dropped it a few times with no case or screen protector.

I had a Nexus One I bought used and it had scratches and dings all over as well. I had a Desire that I almost never dropped and sometimes had a case or screen protector on it and if I remember right it barely had any scratches.

Now I have a Galaxy S3 I just bought used and there is not one scratch on the screen, and I see more shattered Galaxy S3's for sale than any other phone. Probably because of how popular it is and maybe the size makes it more breakable when dropped. The back cover is cracked and beat up on mine too, despite no damage to the screen.

Either way I feel way more scared of breaking the GS3 than I am the One S.

I really think anyone that thinks the One S is more delicate than other phones is just upset cause of their bad luck. It's all a gamble.
[HTC One S] Anthe:
I was too lazy to put my screen protector on and now I have two very tiny scratches that are only visible when you directly face them to light. I don't think I'll ever see them but my heart is shattered now my One S has these scratches. Painful. Put the screen protector on now, hope it'll help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardell:
Hello.

According to this, I have to download "1.1/4.0 KERNEL IN .TAR FOR ODIN" since my phone is not rooted. However, I can't find the "1.1/4.0 version in the list" and if I download the newest version, there's nothing with .tar extension.

Can anybody help me where I can find the file or suggest any other kernel that has CWM? I don't care about the quality of the kernel, I just need the CWM to be able to access my files via USB.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Agreed. That link takes you to a Page of zip files. Can you flash the older tar file via odin in PDA to gain root then flash newest version as a zip via CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardell:
I'd flash any version, even the oldest one, but I can't find any .tar files I could flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Look further down the Page there is a tar file there
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardell:

Thanks for link just ordered Glacier color looks like they have some in stock!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
Nice find!! Thanks for sharing. Ordered one in glacier, at that price it's worth a try.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] osufeth:
How is it they have some the colors in stock when even the Otterbox website says they're not released?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Maybe they are selling the Chinese fake ones :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] osufeth:
That's what I was wondering, if these are real or not..

I'm relatively new to case shopping (the S3 is only the 2nd smart phone i've owned), so I don't know how common that happens or not
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Well I have been seeing more and more threads about fake accessories for the sgs3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blaze03:
Plus don't forget the 90 days return!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vegaman:
Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.

I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Warrior1975:
Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vegaman:
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.

If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bhags8:
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...

This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?

NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Boss Daddy:
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Warrior1975:
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.

I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
Sweet, it looks like the glacier colored ones are back in stock this morning.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shook187:
I guess the shipment from Republic of Mozambique are in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
The orders should be shipping now. I got my shipment confirmation this morning:

"Your order has been shipped complete. Below you will find a tracking number with a shipping carrier for your order."

I told you guys, this company ships fast.

I have no idea. My Body Glove tpu case from there looks authentic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blaze03:
There's some videos on YouTube that point out a few things about fake cases.. Like the small letters on the silicone logo don't have much detail.... but it doesn't really matter if it's fake you can just return it, plus they cover return shipping price and have 90 days return!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Darkchaser:
Thanks for this info, it's really important since I also have a gameklip on the way, and I'll probably be removing the otterbox too often. Hopefully this will hold up better to repeated removal :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Warrior1975:
received mine today. I like it but I think I prefer the case I bought at Best Buy...but I need a little more time with it. Definitely a pain in the butt to remove as opposed to the other one. I may return it just because of that...But shipped fast, they are a local company, about 10 miles from me in Long Island (NY).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blaze03:
So is the case original or fake?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Warrior1975:

Mines here today 2!! That was quick shipping!! Thumbs up to smartphonepedia.... Will Shop here in the future.

Oh and anyone looking to switch things up that has the blue.... I think it would be neat to swap the outer gray with the blue. blue/white would be sweet and so would the blue/gray combo. Just a thought lol. I'll gladly trade haha.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] v3rn:
How are you liking the Glacier? I just got my Kraken today and getting my Glacier Defender tomorrow, gonna compare them and return whichever I like least. Can you post a few more pictures of it on your phone? And is it possible to rip off the screen protector on this model?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ergibson83:
My Glacier Outter Box Defender came today also. I ordered it on Monday (8/6) and it arrived today. This case is awesome. I dont know how I feel about the built-in screen protector though. It definitely takes away from the HD screen. This case protects my GS3 well though. It feels very secure and for 24.99, you can't beat it. I'll be rockin this case for the remainder of the time I have this phone.

I told you guys this company ships fast.... :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
Yes it is possible to remove the screen protector.... I popped it right out and pulled the glue off. It's a nice looking case, the the fit is great and has a nice feel in the hand. It's not slippery at all. As I mentioned before u also have the ballistic sg maxx and to be honest I think I favor it more than the otter. Maybe bc I've gotten used to the look and feel of the maxx idk. Both seem like the offer the same protection. I have removed the screen protector from both and use the sgp ultra nano. Trying to decide if I want to keep the otter as a backup or not. The buttons in the defender are a little tough to push but again maybe this is bc I'm used to the easily pushed buttons on my maxx. I'll try and post some more pics tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I just got my back defender yesterday and the screen protector is kinda bad. It's not flat with the screen... Instead, going towards the center of the screen, the protector starts to bubble. This basically takes away from the sensitivity of the screen depending on what you are doing.... Is it supposed to be like this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
I've never had one that I really cared for. I it causes the screen look grainy and hazy. I just pop it out and use another screen protector.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Paulk1989:
understood thanks...

I cant post a reply in any of the cm10 threads so I'll ask here...and I know why I can't post its well understood...that being said

My questions are...I see there is a 8/7 build for cm10 as cm10 beta...I am running alpha a1...is the alpha a1 more stable than beta?

Also in that thread it was mentioned that the camera on the 8/7 build was not working but it works just fine on alpha a1 which is why I asked the question above.

Im sure through all of that you all know what I am asking.

Just need some info.

I like the feel of this rom its very well built....big thanks to the developers :)

And my last question right now is does anyone know what will be added to this rom in the coming future aside from fixes....

I.e. mods tweaks etc?

Next device I will be playing with will be the galaxy note :) anyone have one and have any tips on what may be not so good about that device?

Thanks in advance for all the help and tips from everyone who responds or has responded...greatly appreciated and again sorry for all the noobie questions.

You're right, it's not as easy as installing CWM and flashing. It's as easy as installing CWM, formatting your SD card ( so that it isn't in WP7 formatting any more) then flashing :p

I don't know how exactly that is done but from what I've heard an old Nokia should do the trick.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rawdaddymagraden:
Yes to the question with the SD card. Also yes you must install 6.5 first then use the hd2 toolkit to installed hspl and install either clk or mgdlr and then you can flash the ROM via recovery
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krinilssen:
And to revert to 6.5, I would just flash a build from the T-mobile website correct?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Don't post false information please.

@OP Yes, you can just use a different SD card but there certainly is no need to flash to WinMo 6.5. Just follow this guide, you already have all of the prerequisites.

Hi,

simple story:

recording video and when playing it (no matter if on phone or pc), the sound is 1,xx seconds delayed.

Very annoying if you are uploading content on youtube (no matter if 480 or HD).

I had to use a video editor to put in 1,6 seconds of title-intro to get it in sync since there is no tool out there to have an easy fix.

Memory card is fine (SDHC).

Any ideas?
