Started with the Kraken, and I've ended up with the defender... now looking for someone to switch their white inner hard shell for my black one. I don't like the black on black.

Hopefully I'll come across an Oakland Raiders fan that'll be happy with a gray rubber wrap and black hardshell. Lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I completely agree man. I looks like some cheap knock off case. The otterbox case is just so smooth. To me the ballistic hc is the only competition they ever had. That ballistic looks like something made by nerf
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
wish the otter made a case for extended battery (which I am ordering for wife and i in a few moments)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkredD14:
A++ reply. Thank you for the amazing review. I will be purchasing the Kraken as well.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] shook187:
Im going to have to say the Otterbox is better. I may be bias cause i own one but that other case looks like something a teenager would own. There's just to much happening there and the neon colors just takes that case to over the top.

I have an all black Defender and I ordered an all black Kraken. Perhaps the all black Kraken will look a bit more...for adults. :cyclops:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ImEnjyK:
Hi everybody,

I'm here for ask to you if is it possible to install Windows 8 (I have the RTM build 9200) on the Iconia Tab A510 ?

I now this tab had a nVidia Tegra ARM processor, and the 26th october, we will can get the Windows RT (RunTime) edition for ARM tablets, it will be possible with the RT edition if not with a standard x86 ?

I think the problem is there isn't a graphical interface to the Iconia Tab A510 motherboard, like a BIOS...

Maybe if we root the tablet, or get an Android recovery mode or anything.. no?

Thank you :eek:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jokerzlh:
:cowboy: the easiest way to get win8 is: changing your A510 to W510 ```

Okay but excuse me I'm french and I just understand basic english. So can you explain quickly to me ..?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
i'm french too..

but it's a good way to recognize french people, as they always apologize for their english level..

so basically, and french-said : "il te chambre en te disant qu'au lieu de vouloir mettre windows 8 RT sur une A510, tu ferais mieux de la revendre et de t’acheter une W510 qui est LA tablette iconia vendue par acer avec windows 8. Tu t'épargneras surement des soucis et du temps perdu !"

sorry for french speaking there :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] FordSierra88:
@Ben

C'est vrai avec le Acer A51x :)

Les Francais ont des Probléme avec l'anglais parce que la langue (Anglais) a une autre origine. Anglais a des origines germaniques et pour les Francais, c'est difficile apprendre cette Langue. :)

Ps : je vive en Allemagne donc je ne peux pas si bien parler/écrire le francais mais j ai eu neuf ans francais en l'ecole. Parce que on apprends l'allemand et le français au

l'ecole au Luxembourg :)

@All

Sorry for writen French :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] alx5962:
The RTM leak is only a x64/x64 CPU release, so it cannot run on a Tegra CPU.

The ARM version will not be released to the public, and will only be available on Windows RT tablets in October.

Don't expect to see it running on your Acer tablet anytime soon, it may happen one day, but for sure it will not be an easy task to accomplish.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ImEnjyK:
Answer

Thanks for your french answers, yes I thought he was kidding, and yes RTM edition is a x64 version, it's possible with a release preview.

And for Windows 8 RT we will make an iso from an installed Windows 8 RT on a tablet. It's possible with a PC running Windows 7 with the Windows Preinstallation Environment tools (gimagex.exe...)

And if I ask this question it's because I've got the A510 Iconia Tab and I want to install Windows 8 / RT .. logic...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] blackthund3r:
Also quick point: Windows RT will be released only to OEMs so you won't be able to actually get a license for it which means installing it would technically be illegal unless they Microsoft sold Windows RT licenses, although I believe the Windows 8 tablets will actually have hardware support in the licensing department
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TheCraig:
Only cracking it (As in providing serials) is the problem though right, anyway the only way I think you can accomplish this is if you find a leak or pull it from a tablet... idk :P
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] blackthund3r:
No I mean even if you extract it from a tablet you'll still likely have to circumvent a lot of protection to make it run.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dirtyworks:
I have an older TF101 that I gave to my mom, because the built in speakers don't work because it thinks there are headphones constantly plugged in. I know its a hardware issue, because I temporarily fixed the jack, while I waited for a new one, when one side cut out. This is what caused the permanent "headphone in" status.

What she wants is to be able to either use the built in speakers of the TF101 or be able to use bluetooth speakers. Neither of these options are available to us for obvious reasons.. What I need to do is entirely disable the headphone/headset jack. Is there a way to do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mykid:
It is not a TF101 problem but an Android problem :) I had the same with my Galaxy Note, so i use an app called :

SoundRoute Switcher

You will find it in the market and you will be able tu force the sound to go where you want, to the speakers, to the headphone or to the bluetooth :)

Hope it helps...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
My brother has installed Android 4 ICS on his HTC HD MINI (cyanogenmod 9) but he doesn't have gapps. I have tried installing gapps onto the phone and then it takes me through to ROM manager where the phone is rebooted (cwm) and then the phone just shows an android in front of what looks like an error sign. Anyone offer any help?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Edit: that's been sorted, but I have another issue. His contacts don't get imported from his SIM card. He just gets the message that there are no contacts on his SIM but when placed in another phone, it works fine
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
CyanogenMod does not support contacts on the SIM card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Seriously??!!!?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yep ;).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Thanks for the help. Do have another problem though. Please see here:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/351670-ics-cm9-404-coldfusionx-for-the-zte-blade-rom-updated-2806/

I missed the format system step idiotically and just tried to install the ROM but now i can only get into recovery and the phone won't actually boot. Please could someone offer any help and also tell me if i need to format the system each time i want to install a custom ROM on an android device? Also, how do i restore the backup ROM using CWM? thanks for all the help. At the moment, the first quesion is most important. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Just start over ;). Yes, always format partitions when flashing a new ROM. Scroll. down to "backup and restore", select "restore" and choose the backup you wish to restore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Well, ive screwed up in that aspect, i wiped the micro sd card. i kept trying to install the zip (ROM) again but to no avail. Thanks forthe help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Also, how do i format?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Just send the file back over via a card reader, etc.

You would select the "mounts and storage" option in recovery, then format accordingly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Format everything?

Also, i have tried placing the ROM back on the micro sd, booting into recovery and then installing the zip but after i click reboot, it just shows the android logo and stays there. Do i need to do anything with the file i downloaded?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
As long as you're flashing a rom after, it is safe to format everything. You shouldn't need to modify the file in anyway. You could try wiping the dalvik cache after flashing, then rebooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
i'll try it and thanks but i've tried so much things. I've like tried everything so i think i may just be doing the process wrong. I don't know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Couldn't get that to work. What does it mean, YOU NEED A 185MB SYSTEM PARTITION FOR THIS ROM? How do i do this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
I suppose you'll need to resize the partition somehow. Give it a search ;).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Been trying to install CM7 just to see if i can get the phone to actually boot. The step i have taken are shown in the picture but it still doesn't boot properly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Define "doesn't boot properly". Also, try formatting before flashing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I'm sure i've tried that. I just get stuck on the android logo and the phone stays there after that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Did you wipe the dalvik cache?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Yes. I've asked on that thread i linked you to and it may have all been a mistake on my part. Apologies if that's the case
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
No problem ;). Report back with the results :highfive:.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I've got it working now. I was flashing a ROM meant for gen 2 models i think whilst the phone was only Gen 1. Thanks again for all your help

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
either get teh code from AT&T (if you're a customer) or pay $25 for it at one of the unlock code sites. there are no 'free' options outside of the carrier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pwned101:
To get the code from ATT, dont you have to pay the full price of the phone though? Also, if you do the 25$ unlock code thingy, does the unlock stay forever (even if I do an update or change ROM's)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
No, I got my code from At&t after owning my device for 40 something days through upgrade and unlock stays forever ...even when OTA or ROM changing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dLo GSR:
it also depends who you get as a CSR. one guy gave me a code for my sister's literally 2-day old SGS3 without question. i did online chate like 4 times before someone obliged.

thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
If your phone has power, you can download and flash whatever you need to directly, without a usb cable. If your phone won't power on, you can't really do anything with it. It needs to have some power to go into download mode, as far as I know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] b0ricuaguerrero:
the issue is that the port i plug the usb does not work. so i cant charge my phone nor my computer will recognise the phone to get into dl mode. i already have the new phone. i need to get my other phone back to stock so i can send back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
Yeah, so just download the stock ROM and recovery directly to your phone instead. Flash the stock ROM, then flash over the custom recovery.

Just wanted to say that I've noticed a lot of posts saying how fragile the SGS3 is, now I don't know if I'm lucky or if those who's s3s have broken are just unlucky but I've had an awful lot of accidents with mine the past few weeks, including dropping it on hard concrete from my ear (about 5 foot 9 inches) a few times, dropping it down the stairs, dropping it onto a bedside lamp that I'd places in the floor during a sort out (my S3 actually smashed the lamp stand lol).

The only problem with my S3 is 2 small scratches on the bezel.

So is the S3 so fragile afterall or am I just lucky?
[Galaxy S III General] crash6x86:
I agree, this thing is hardcore. I went to sit in my friends car, as I was sitting I was closing the door and my phone fell out of my pocket and shut the phone in the door. I was wtf just happened. Then the phone fell to the ground when I opened the door. The stock battery got twisted and battery cover was scratched. I turned it on everything worked, no scratches on the screen. Two hours later my case came in the mail. I ended up buying two qcell batteries from Amazon.com. I was able to straighten the battery out a bit. That thing still works...

I don't think you're lucky, just a really nice device...
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I don't see any posts about how sturdy it is so I assumed it was extremely fragile
[Galaxy S III General] angler:
There are posts in this forum and other site saying cracks on the bezel:-

I have never thought a mobile phone may survive from several feet falling, but I would not expect my phone cover material crack after several months usage. I have noticed that these posts have been started a month ago, and not seen so much post complaint the same issue. Just hope it is only some sort of manufacture defect batch, otherwise this is major headache for Samsung according to the production size of Galaxy S3.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Well I am liable for a direct exchange via courier anytime I want as long as I only do it once, so I'm waiting until I find the right case and screen protector for me then I'll do the exchange and have a scratch-free phone.

I also have a few small scratches on the screen that were caused by sand when I was on holiday.

I dropped my phone 5 times already (a few pretty nasty falls) and it is perfect, no scratches. I am pretty sure an iPhone would be destroyed quickly in my hands :)
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I'm extremely clumsy, plus I have an involuntary habit of throwing everything up in the air and catching it (and sometimes not catching it lol), sometimes my mind just drifts off and without realising I start throwing my phone in the air and catching it, which sometimes results in my dropping it :D

Lol I do that myself. Normally with the Sky+ remote. And my HTC sensation phone, when I had it.

I thought the phone was just fragile too. Loads of people on here complaining. Don't wanna risk it though. :o

The sky+ remote is perfect for throwing in the air, its probably a design feature! :D

Oh and taking the battery cover off and putting it back on again over and over...

Good times.....

Ye me too, the remote is the thing I throw the most :D I have no idea why I have this habit but my fiancee hates it, mostly because we're on our 3rd remote now due to the other 2 getting broken :D

When I threw my phone up and didn't catch it, it landed in my lamp and smashed it, me and my fiancee couldn't help but laugh at the fact a so called "fragile" phone smashed a thick porcelain lamp with no damage to the phone :D

I'm just curious, because I am considering getting a GS3 and I have seen firsthand quite a few with cracked up screens, not quite as bad and the iphone folks, but I don't want to get another phone that is going to break on me without even dropping it.

I was walking out to roll up my windows and went to put my phone, without the case on it, in my shirt pocket and I missed the pocket and there it went.. smacked the concrete landing on I believe the top right corner and mostly the back side.. The back battery cover is all scratched up but no big deal.. I immediately put my otterbox commuter case on it like I should have had on anyways.. now believe it or not, I used it the rest of that day and till about 3pm the next day and I was just scrolling down my Facebook news feed when I felt my phone click.. I started looking at it like whaattt? Well, whataya know? My screen I guess finally gave in and a crack formed across the upper right quarter of the screen. From the LED Indicator to the Power Button.. The Digitiser and LED seem ok though. Just seemed odd to crack like that kind of outta nowhere like it did. Maybe my case caused some pressure on my weakened screen after dropping it and the screen just gave up? I've seen things like that happen before but not like this. :confused:
