[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
The wet you need to spray water and get bubbles out.

The dry is self adhesive much easier to put on.

I had bodyguardz on my epic its ok. Doesn't provide much protection in terms of dropping. Trying a tpu case with my Evo so far so good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spdkilz02:
I was looking at the skin guards but didn't like the idea that it would just end up peeling over time. I put the tpu case on and you can barely notice that it is there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
hey guys,

so before i purchased the trident kraken case, i bought a case from ebay ahead of time to keep my phone protected until the heavy duty cases started to roll out.

this is the case i bought.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-AT-T-Ver...ccessories&hash=item3cc72c2dc6#ht_1837wt_1397

i thought this would be a decent case to keep my phone nicely protected until i get my hands on an otterbox or trident.

instead, you can see what happened from my pictures. I received my trident case, and when i removed the case i bought from ebay, i came to discover that there are DENTS on the silver bezel that goes around the phone. while i had this case, i dropped the phone twice and both took place as i was getting out of my car, and had the phone on my lap. i think because of the tight fit and its material, it did the opposite of providing adequate protection.

additionally, when i removed the hard case, the 2 pieces were locked in so tight that i had no choice but to break the case.

really disappointed that this happened to my new phone and hopefully i can help prevent this from happening to others.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pharaohs:
Gutted :(

Did the case itself cause the damage or did it just not protect the phone from the 'bumps' properly?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
honestly it's hard to say.

i'd think it's the latter. i guess my phone coudlve been worse off if i didn't have a case.

but even with that said, i still didn't expect the case to make dents to my phone when it's dropped...it was suppose to protect my phone from damages :S
[Galaxy S III Accessories] uch1da:
From my experience, the best cases are hard plastic cases that can bend slightly. Soft rubber/silicone cases deform (and stick in your pockets).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elementaldragon:
TPU all the way. I'm assuming by "hard plastic cases that can bend slightly"... you mean stuff like the Incipio Feather or whatever.... really thin snap on case? Cheapy TPU cases on eBay are thin, indestructible, won't deform, and don't stick to your pockets.... PLUS cover the entire outside edge of the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hexdecimal:
I can't remember which TPU case I used to have but it had an argyle pattern, kind of translucent? I guess it was kind if generic but it worked.

Agreed about the silicone, lint traps.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mustang2012:
You can't really blame the case when it was you who dropped it hwice. I mean the case is not fully protective like Otter box defender or any other similar case. You should have been more careful not to drop them twice. That's my opinion anyway.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BarnOwl:
Actually I think you are wrong. The OP's case is a hardcase, a soft silicone case would never have dented the phone.

I had a smartphone in a cheap silicone case bounce off my car at 80 km/hour and it did not do ANY harm to the phone inside.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
i have to disagree.

i had a TPU case for my sony X10, dropped it a ton of times, NEVER dented my phone like what this case did to my S3. the 2 times i dropped the S3 were not hard drops either.

bottom line is, a case should protect your phone from scratches and dents. as you can see in the pics, it's pretty obvious it's the internal of the case that caused those dents.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
Not surprised, what do you expect from a $7 case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
lol. uh....maybe for it to protect my phone like it would with a TPU case that's cheaper on ebay?

anyways.

like i said, in my personal opinion, even a cheap TPU case on would never done this to my phone. and it's not so much about 'how much it cost'. any hard plastic cases can potentially cause damages like that, hence why some ppl stay away from otterbox defender because they don't feel safe having their phone inside a plastic shell instead of a silicone shell.

just trying to warn others out there are are considering these type of cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
I never use "hardback" cases about the only thing they protect from is mild scratching. I just don't trust them. simply physics. the whole point of a case in my opinion is to disperse the "G" load of impact.

a solid object like a rigid phone versus a solid ground (hard floor or concrete etc..) causes "momentary" split second g loads of THOUSANDS of G's of impact force. literally.

its only for milliseconds but thats enough to blow apart and shatter a lot under the right conditions.

a "give" case one that "gives" a bit (TPU - Rubber - Silicone etc..) flexes. it "gives" which translates the deceleration distance from nearly zero to a millimeter or so.

believe it or not this is enough to reduce the G load from THOUSANDS of G's to under 20 G's in many cases easily under 100 G's which these devices "CAN" withstand.

I don't have $500 to replace this critter so you can bet I use nice big clunky huge rubbery cases :) I prefer hybrids that have a "hard shell" and a soft outer shell. this way you get rigid "penetration" protections AND shock protection. plus I have HUGE hands and these make these skinny winney phones so much easier and more comfortable to hold.

try sticking a nekkid S3 between your shoulder and your ear :) hehe
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
i know..learned my lesson hard. should've bought a TPU while i waited for my kraken.
[Nokia Lumia 900] The Jones:
So I have a Cyan unlocked 900 here in the UK. I am on FW 2175.2101.8779.12201 and Zune shows no updates available.

In NaviFirm there is a 2175.2503.8779.12301. Does anyone have any info on this version and whether it is safe for me to flash it? I am keen to get some of the improvements to the camera that the recent AT&T update supposedly gave.

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 900] des519:
I updated my rm-823 in the UK to the latest 2175.2503.8779.12301, I had 8773, and the phone seems a lot quicker.

I had the screen not brightening up to an appropriate level for some seconds (not good when trying to answer a call etc, the phone took 30+ seconds to start charging and some other weird issues to do with response)

I would recommend to upgrade if you had anything like the above problems, but no idea what this new FW is supposed to sort out.
[Nokia Lumia 900] tfn:
Hi

Update just popped on my White Lumia 900 Uk , seems to be a small firmware update.. dont know what it fixies though
[Nokia Lumia 900] The Jones:
I have been using it for a few days. It seems to fix almost nothing. The camera is still sub-par at best and I still have the issue during phone calls where the other party gets echo feedback.

The auto screen brightness is still really slow and dim witted but very slightly improved.
[Nokia Lumia 900] drtolson:
Just got 8779.12228 here in Canada (Rogers). I wonder if the firmware updates might also be carrier specific???
[Nokia Lumia 900] tai4de2:
Unlocked RM-823.

Just got an update.

Firmware changed from 2175.2101.8779.12201 to 2175.2503.8779.12301.

Radio changed from 2.1.75.20 to 2.1.75.25.

Not sure what it actually did.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Are you sure it's 12228?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Carini33:
I got a refurb Lumia 900 to replace my broken LG Quantum. I had a really bad echo problem, and no updates fixed it. Contacted ATT who sent me another refurb, and echo is completely gone even on the highest call volume(old phone had to be no higher than 6). I think it's a hardware problem, look around on Nokia's support forums, seems most could only fix it with replacement. I also had the vibration rattle, and that is gone in the 2nd refurb.
[Nokia Lumia 900] drtolson:
Nope, slipped fingers... it's 12224. Sry...
[Nokia Lumia 900] agp64:
I had two replacements before this issue was resolved. I was told by the Nokia care manager it was a faulty microphone.

So I would not hold my breath a software update will fix your issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raskob2:
I have been flashing (roms) for a while now devices including G2, HTC Hero, HTC Thunderbolt, Moto Razr, and now Galaxy S3. I don't typically post questions on any forums because I usually can find an answer with enough searching, it pains me to write this.

Problem: I can only flash certain roms on my Verizon SGS3.

I have no problem flashing unofficial aokp, unofficial cm10, and Synergy.

When I try to install different roms from xda and other websites i get the attached photo. These roms include paranoid android, miui, liquids jelly bean, and a few others.

My device is rooted, unlocked bootloader through ez unlock, running clockworkmod (touch) v5.8.4.5 via ez recovery.

Before I flash I always:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

format system

wipe dalvik cache

Re-downloading has not fixed the issue. I'm sure im missing something simple any help would be warmly welcomed!

Thanks in advance all!

-Stumped S3 User
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
The problem is your running the wrong cwm recovery. 5 . something version causes problems with jb rom's. Surprising you got cm10 to run. Download cwm rom manager and install cwm touch 6.0.1.2 touch from in that application. EZ recovery does not offer that version of touch, but it does offer that version of regular. I don't see all the hype about ez recovery. That's definitely your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpkimmel:
Bingo!! Wrong version of CMW, just download e-z flasher from the play store and use it to flash either TWP or CMW. Easy peasy quick and easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xxx420:
I suggest you use twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Twrp has bugs with jb rom's. Cwm regular or touch 6.0.1.2 is the most stable safe way to go. If your unsure at all, use cwm. Twrp on our devices at this time is NOT as stable as cwm, but does work effectively. If you use twrp, don't be surprised if you get a poor flash here and there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Cwm 6.0.1.2 all day. Refuse to use anything else lol. Unless amon ra gets ported
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raskob2:
Worked like a charm!

I downloaded rom manager, installed latest clock work, updated to touch, and it is working perfect! Thanks to all! The fun begins :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knuckles1978:
For the meantime at least...

I skipped ICS and went straight from GB to jelly bean, to be more exact, helly bean..

Now helly bean did run fairly slick for me, but the other night there I was bored, so decided to flash a couple of ROMs just for something to do, and since I skipped ICS, I thought I'd try slimICS with semaphore kernel.

My phone is totally instantaneous now, running even nicer than it was, also, I now have 220MB of free ram compared to the 80 or something I had on JB, which can only be good.

Considering I had the Google now disabled on JB before, I can't even think of any features of jb that I miss not having, and it looks pretty much the same too. I just can't warrant losing 150MB nearly of ram, and my phone running a little slower, even if its barely noticeable.

Also, battery life is a lot better in ICS compared to JB, and I did go through correct procedure to try and improve it in JB.

So for now I'm gonna stick with slimICS, at least until the next time I'm bored :)

I may end up going back to JB, but right now I'm kinda thinking that mainly because of ram constraints, that the trusty old i9000s are better off on ICS.. or am I wrong??

Would be interested to hear of others views or experiences... Cheers...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jogibush:
Latest GNexus release has 150 - 200mb of free ram too. It also includes a task manager to kill unneeded processes. For me it is the best Rom right now (I upgraded from slimics). I feel the butter of jb with triple buffering now ;)

maybe your bad experiences are caused by devil kernel and/or different sd partition of heallybean Rom?

For me heallybean Rom lagged too. So I switched to semaphore which gained my device more speed and stability :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knuckles1978:
I'll maybe give GNexus JB with semaphore a try next time I decide to flash a rom then.

How do you find your battery life is with it? Cos I really am noticing a big improvement in my sema/slimICS compared to my old devil/hellybean. Just got 19 hours out of a charge when I was used to about 11, not scientific I know but I use my phone a very similar amount each day. Definitely a lot better.

If I could get back to JB, with as much free ram as I have now, and a similar battery life I'd be a happy person.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lukesan:
Now I am not a power user but I second the GNexus rom.

Using the default Semaphore kernel it seems to use 2 to 3% an hour. This is just sitting in my pocket with wifi on.

I haven't run it below 50% so I don't know if the 2 to 3% is lineair since I have a charger in the car and at work.

About the free memory, well it all depends. I also have a S2 which I use for data (S uses a company paid sim but has very limited data) and I don't think the S2 is alot faster. The only thing I really notice is that the camera is faster, but what do you want.

This rom is smooth and does all I need it for.

I would suggest to give it a go without looking at the memory etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cabessius:
Same as first post for me, right now I don´t have enough time to try all the differents rom around but decided to install CM10 and the impressions were not so good, including fast battery drain. Surely gonna give it another try, but now I´m back with old good CM9.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexovy:
I also loved Slim ICS 4.2. But now, slim bean 2.3 makes me forget about slim ics.

Together with semaphore is as stable and maybe faster then slim ics.

And 2.4 is almost out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 045Connection:
JB

Try MIUI 2.8.31b Multi ..Android 4.1.1 Mackay Kernel , you will never search for another rom!:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silverchairbg:
agree

I have to agree that ICS and SlimICS in particular is better than any JB rom out there now. Especially if you take advantage of the "Power Saver" feature in ASS, then it is definitely a keeper.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sunnymen1975:
I'm currently on HellyBean, but I will try SlimBean
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knuckles1978:
I got bored again lol

I've put on slimbean/semaphore with inverted gapps etc, and I must admit, I'm definitely feeling the JB butter ;)

Bit less free ram than I had on ICS but if its gonna run this sweet I don't care. Its all good in the 'hood so far :)

Hopefully it will last.

Good luck with programming it yourself ;P The Facebook API just doesn't expose phone numbers, so the only thing you could do is scrape Facebook's html, which is shady at best and illegal at worst. If it wasn't that way, I'd have included phone number sync in HaxSync a long time ago ;)

I get one used galaxy note.

After i turn on the phone(With a inactive sim) i saw that there are some security measurements in that phone like Sending messages when changing the sim, Samsung's famous Mobile tracker etc.

All i need is.,

1. Is there any way to remove those settings by flashing custom ROMS or upgreade/degrade it legally.

2. I want it to be as new as factory made. Is there any possibilities.?

Please put your valuable suggestion here. Im total nOOb for this android things.:angel:

So I opened it back up and waited. Well, it did it again and kept doing it. As I put in the title, I am Stock Rooted with Google Now and Wallet running fine. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Freeze both now and wallet, reboot and try camera (use titanium or something similar). Start there. There have been alot of odd issues with pirating in both of those apps. Now can do weird things.

Bitrate, codec? I really dont know, ussualy clips from youtube and music (.mp3)

Does a reboot help? No

Have you tried another sd card? No, i dont have another sd card.

ps: I return all to factory setting and it seems ok now, i google it and most of ppl saying its because of adobe flash player update so i still didnt update adobe from factory settings. And to be more worse, adobe stopped updating flash player.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Nope. Our devices can play glorious 1080p. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
It's not Adobe Flash. Flash player has nothing to do with the music player cutting out.

Usually when it cuts out, it means the file is not accessible. So, it could be an SD card issue..

Try borrowing an SD card from a buddy and see what happens. Also, don't be scared to update flash player.

Yup. Or higher. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you have problems playing videos it might be a codec problem.
