[Galaxy S III General] gsw5700:
i have the best of both worlds, I use a high quality tight fitting leather pouch with flush pull) takes 1 second to remove phone/ insert phone. Means I can handle the phone as it was designed without getting scratches etc, have done so for a few phones now. Why would you have a gorgeous phone with £8 replaceable back and scratch proof glass then cover it all up? You wouldn't buy a ferrari then cover it all up with mattresses lol.

Same old same old......people that have plenty of money tend not to worry, people that don't tend to treasure their phone and protect it......I'm skint, so I keep it wrapped, simple

My case comes off, although with Adb working a battery pull is a very rare event

I've been looking for a case but haven't used one yet so meh haha.
[Galaxy S III General] PaulusJ93:
yes, its so sexy naked
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
I hope this thread doesn't inspire people not to use a case. Get something, at least a barely there case will help. Also, do get a screen protector. It's a $700 phone, and in my opinion protection is nice to have thought here.

Also I love my baby and I do not want any scratches on it. It also helps me when I'm selling phones on Craigslist or eBay.

Accidents happen without any warnings. I've seen multiple thread in this forum complaining about screen damage or cracks. In my personal opinion is fine to take the phone out sometimes while I'm in bed or in a really safe place but otherwise it makes me sense to keep the case on it.
[Galaxy S III General] Arthur Hucksake:
I keep mine in its SGP Giraz because it was a ballache to fit into it. Very snug fit, besides it looks awesome sat there in it anyways.
[Galaxy S III General] EcPercy:
I don't. The S3 is simply too slippery without a case. I dropped mine and cracked the screen less than one month after buying it. It was $137 SGD to have the front of the phone replaced. (Lens, Digitizer, LCD, Home button, and trim)

I put mine in a KIJJ case. It adds enough texture that I haven't dropped the phone ever since and it doesn't increase the size of the phone very much.

@jjegan if phone crashes press and hold power for 10s to force off. Rarely need to actually pull battery
[Galaxy S III General] Lizzo:
lol WHAT CASE?? got mines at the end of july and it hasn't seen the inside of a case yet.. and still NO scratches yet...
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
This is the first phone I have ever used a case and screen protector on.

I don't want to break it!!

ive never even thought about putting any cloth on her, not even in public..
[Galaxy S III General] deom2i:
May SAMIII has never put on clothers...its just naked from day one:angel:.

Free from screen protector too.

But lots of dust accumulate on the phone soon i will buy it a T-shirt and Jeans plus cool glasses!!::cool:

Just remember when going to beach always put it in a cover and a screen protect is a must!! Beach sand mess with the screen top layer!!:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] terranoid:
I never use any kind of protectors. If something bad is meant to happen... it will.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Pretty much the same here, I'm skint now (looking for a job to fix that) so I keep mine safe, when things change I might take more risks with it, but now while I'm skint.
[Galaxy S III General] omeryounos:
Same here.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
It also helps keep the phone in A1 condition for resale purposes imho, and that is a major reason for using screen protectors also
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
That is the same reason I use a case and screen protector.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yup.. guilty. Been using my S3 caseless for the past 3 days. Its just so nice bare and naked! :D
[Galaxy S III General] rj3005:
Mine has never been in a case... the only thing I´ve done is change the back cover for one bought of ebay so my original back cover will be scratch free when the time comes to sell this phone.

And about screen protectors IMO it´s like buying a new leather sofa but leaving it in plastic so it doesn´t get dirty... (anyway I haven´t scratched a phone screen (without protector) in the last 10 years)
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Same.. never use screen protectors. :)
[Galaxy S III General] jok4h:
I use a case, dunno about u guys but i find the S3 to be quite slippery without a case on

Prefer it without personally
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
If it's a white leather sofa and you sit on it with a new pair of jeans you are gonna wish that you had plastic on it lol
[Galaxy S III General] Pratz852:
I love it without the case. But I was uncertain if I would keep it, because of the 1gb ram.

I lost my s2 so I needed a cell.I thought I'd buy the s3 and keep it until I see the next nexus specs. And resell it.

I handled it really gently, but the other day when I took it out of the case to feel it again, I noticed spots. I thought those were just dirty spots. Reckoned these are permanent spots caused by the case itself. It made me so angry the case failed its purpose and on the contrary inflicted damage to many phone -.-
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Haha I have stained my Sister's leather sofa blue before now, and I hadn't scratched a phone screen since my old GT540, and in the 1.5-2 years I used that for it ended up getting really badly scratched, so I'm not taking any chances.
[Galaxy S III General] ohyesman:
In answer to the OP then yes I do like to get my S3 naked at times (Only at home though) even though I got several different cases (inc the official Samsung flip case - which I don't particularly like) it’s nice to free the phone as "nature" intended LOL

Those who say they don't bother with a case coz they don't see the point or it won't happen coz you’re careful then more fool you. Obviously it’s not like anyone here is going to drop their phone intentionally and to be honest there are some great cases that make little difference to the size & weight of the phone but provide enough protection to be more than beneficial.

My main case is a 99p jobby from ebay - solid back, rubberized edges and in white so blends in with the phone perfectly, also got a fake leather flip case for when I want a change. I am very proud of my phone, I take great care of it and it is by far the best phone I have ever owned. I would be extremely pissed/angry & upset if something happened and the screen ended up smashed!!!!

Unexpected things happen, these cannot be avoided...

The other day I was chatting to my better half whilst walking down the road and this big arse hornet (or massive wasp) buzzed around by my hand/ear/phone - not a problem just brushed it away and it buggered off - unknown to me is it settled on my shoulder - well 40 or so seconds later I turn my head and saw this and in shock I jumped and went to flick it away - in the process of doing this the phone flew out of my hand onto the concrete floor - Was using my 99p case and this took the shock and damage - the case flew off the phone on impact (as basically thrown as the ground) but there was no damage to the phone at all. There would have been if no case – even possibly a busted screen as the case suffered scratches, dents and muck etc mainly on the rubber sides and some on the back.

Yes the are vids showing the phone being fine after a 7 foot drop, there are videos where it isn’t after a 5 foot drop – it’s just the luck of the draw and if a case is going to improve my odds of survival then for the sake of 99p to even £9.99 for a case to protect your £500 phone is a no brainer especially when unexpected things can and do happen.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Lol yeah I suppose.. nowadays I don't think jeans rub color off like they did back in the day.

But all the same.. still prefer to have no screen protector.. I've tried and demo'd a bunch I feel they all kind if take away from that smooth glass glide feel.

are there any free note/word document program on android market? if yes, what are their name? the reason i'm asking it, the existing note program on samsung sux. it only holds up to 1500/characters per document. thx in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] aitmanga:
I highly recommend Evernote their tablet interface is really nice, you can sync notes between devices, save images, audio and rich text notes. The downside is that you have to register to their site and the free account has a transfer limit of 60MB/month.

But so far, I've really liked it and been using it extensively in my phone and tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] de3pkeeper:
If you are like me, and like to be able to jot down something in handwritten text, I recommend Quill. Either buy on Play Store or download the same version from Google Code for free at this address:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
the asus supernote app that comes with the transformer is pretty great!

you can find it here on xda! its free and its still my favorite note taking app (and i've tried A LOT)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] vincentnyc:
ok i got the file: Asus_Supernote_v_1.4.apk

is that it? once i download that file to my pc, what am i supposed to do with it? thx in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
Put it on your tab.

On tab,

change settings "install from other sources than Google market" = true

Use a file explorer, find the apk. Click to open, will install

Or Google the subject "sideload apk"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
So you always see a ton of complaints about no sd card on phones.... i sit here with 28 gig free of 32 gig on Nexus. Music is in the "cloud", videos are on youtube, documents are google drive/dropbox. I'd like to better utilize the storage on my phone.

So.. what do you guys store in storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
No SD card slot, so what? It acts just like a regular drive when you plug it into the computer anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
720p movies perhaps?

They are like 4,5gb...

Music is much better on the internal storage...

I, for example, don't have access to internet all the time so it's way better for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
Yeah, i think you misunderstood me, lol. The question is what do people put on their phones to consume 32 gigs of storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Oh lmfao. My bad?

I used to put movies, music, etc.. but I don't even remember the last time I watched a movie on my phone. Music, games, books... that's all I need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I've got a bunch of games that require lots of data. I think I've got about 9GB worth. My Titanium Backup folder is 2 - 3 GB. Photos get around 3GB then I transfer to the PC. I use Subsonic which is set to cache 2GBs of music at a time. Still have 8-9GB free. 32GB is a good amount. 16GB I'd feel a little cramped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrackBurglar:
10GB Music

400MB Apps

~500MB Pics

750MB Downloads (roms, pr0n, etc, lol)

10GB free

If I were sitting under a wifi signal 99.5% of the time, I wouldn't mind cloud storage. But that expectation is unrealistic for me. Also, with the push for the "share everything" plan, it's cost prohibitive for me to keep listening to music, or watch video streamed down across limited data. U sure you don't sell verizon data packages at your day job? LOL J/K
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] castano22:
I store a lot of porn lol just messing. I usually just store music, podcasts, and a lot of custom roms that I download to flash .. other than that 32 gigs is perfect

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
hey guys i am new to this forum

i recently rooted my android device with clockwork mod 5.0.2.8 installed

i flashed a new rom and before flashing i made a backup of the existing rom

the rom was ok and so i renamed the backup as 'stock'

i decided to go back to the original rom and thought of restoring it but it says "md5 sums not found"

so anybody have any kind of help

i am using samsung galaxxy ace plus gt-s7500
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
you need to rename it to what the backup was called when you created the nandroid
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ88:
Just make sure that your backup is in root directory of your sd card..

Just like this

Sdcard>clockworkmod>backup>2012-09-06.11.31.38>files

If it is not like that make like that

Press thanks if i helped you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
I do not know the file name

Thanks for your reply my man but i do not know the exact name of the file

i hav already placed it in the root of the sd card and i havent messed with any of the files inside the folder

i am asking if u know anyway i could get the backup back:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
I do not know the name of the original backup

Thanks for the quick reply but i donot know the name of the original backup so is there any other way i could get back

i should mention though that i havent really touched any of the internal files :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
I've done this before on my motorola xoom, had to just delete the backup, kinda sucks. Since though I do recall some recoveries there is an option to not check md5 sums on restoration of the backup so that is what you want to try do. I have a feeling CWM doesn't have this feature but you can check. TWRP I think does so check if there is that recovery for your device. But then there may be compatibility issues since you made the backup with CWM. Worth a try though. Good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
Thanks for the help

thanks for the reply man

as far as i know there is no twrp recovery for my device

thanks for the reply anyway :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Yeah, same with when this happened to me.

You could, if feeling brave, theoretically this should work but I've never tried it. But the backups in your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder are .img files you could extract them to your computer and use fastboot to flash them onto your device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
will definitely try

ok i will definitely try it cause i do not like this new buggy rom :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4321:
Best of luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dkintzel:
Hello all! Although I have been a forum follower daily, this is my first post.

I am offering up a bounty of $1000 USD to help me finally resolve the global capabilities of the Verizon I535.

Recently, I purchased this phone, replacing an iPhone, from Verizon in the US. I returned home here to the Dominican Republic and learned that this phone is not capable of connecting to our local networks other than Edge technology.

I started trying all the advanced settings through various ROM's and actually came VERY close to enabling 3G. The signal came on for about 30 seconds and then reverted back to Edge. CM10's ROM was the closest that gave me this option.

So! Who wants to join in this Bounty???? OR, would someone be interested in swapping my I535 for an ATT model??

Thanks everyone and looking forward to the follow up posts!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
There is a thread in the development forum regarding this...I would suggest going over to that thread and see if what they have will work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dkintzel:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did try everything that has been on that forum link.

I found another that I believe is on the right track to what may be missing in enabling true 3G.

This was the quote that caught my attention:

"If it is anything like the Rezound, it comes SIM unlocked from the factory, but the stock TW framekwork may not support the full GSM capabilities yet. CM10 doesn't sim unlock it, it just adds the missing code. "

Again, thanks for any info!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dkintzel:
If there possibly is not a fix for this issue, is someone willing to trade a working Global phone for my S3?? Today I looked at a friend who has a Droid Razor that just received an update from Verizon and it works flawlessly. Also, the same friend has a Rezound working too.

Any takers? I'm starting to really HATE this S3 with this issue. It is like being on Dial Up internet service on an old Commodore 64 PC!

Frustrated....:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skennelly:
You could buy an unlocked phone for the $1000 bounty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dkintzel:
Yes, I could, but I was trying to keep my i535. I cant find an ATT model S3 here locally in the DR for anywhere near $1000.

My carrier is Claro and the cost to buy one from them is approx $1485 USD. So, the Bounty is still less.

Good phones here in the DR are better than having gold in your pocket. Literally! People kill each other over technology here, sad but true.

If you want it bad enough - prepare to pay heavily.

You have a phone you would like to sell me then??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skennelly:
Holy cow, that's crazy. No I don't have one to sell you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraggle200:
Hi Guys,

I got my S3 a few weeks back and had one of the Omega JB roms on it (think it was v17) and then com.android.phone just started failing all the time. So I took it back to the Stock backup i had done before installing the Rom and wiped/ factory reset before that reinstall. The Nandroid backup was made using CWM recovery.

The phone has been fine since then for the last week, but today I was trying to go into Call settings in Phone and every time I press the call settings link in the menu in Phone i get the "com.android.phone has stopped" error. I had facebook synced to the phone but only when on the Omega Rom and not since I've been back on the stock Rom.

I searched a few things for this and it always seems to come back to FB sync issues which cause com.android.phone errors, but I can't work out what else could be affecting it. I tried reinstalling the phone.apk by using the no-increase-ringing mod, but this also doesn't sort it either. I'd rather not go through a full stock rom re-flash if i can help it as well, but feel I might have to. I can make and receive calls no problem as well.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Have reinstalled the stock phone.apk from Omega files (the one with the increasing volume) and the problem is now solved.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandel212:
Hello, I just rooted my Xperia Play, and I before I get into anything too crazy, I'd like to take an image of the phone so if I should mess something up. I tried using RomManager, but when I try to boot to recovery it does not work. Based off of some searched the Xperia Play does not have a Recovery mode that can be used for that purpose. So how do I get myself a nandroid that I can use to restore to?

Thank you.

You either need an unlocked bootloader or root access. With root, you can install CWM to the system partition from an app on Google Play. Custom kernels (bootloader unlocked) often come with CWM that gets loaded from the boot partition
