[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Are you referring to a different phone model, perhaps? I've read in numerous places that the Galaxy S III uses Corning Gorilla Glass 2, though maybe I misunderstood.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
It doesn't have it . Sammy has confirmed this .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Samsung's USA product press release says otherwise.

Corning says otherwise.

Every article I've seen says otherwise.

I'm open to new information, though. Who in Samsung says that the USA Galaxy S III models do not use Gorilla Glass, please?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Simply call Samsung and they will tell you . Also, Verizon will tell you too that the phone does not have Gorilla Glass 2 . This was a week long thing I went through with Verizon . Samsung will straight up tell you that it doesnt have it .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I've seen online threads where it seems Samsung Reps answered consumers about pentile-related characteristics, improperly answering the specific question about a layer of protective glass by Corning. Perhaps that happened in your case, but would this not be a significant feature correction to publish, if true? I mean, you would seem to have a serious scoop, here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
This is interesting. All samsung/verizon advertisements say it has gorilla glass, but I must say I have 2 scratches on my screen within a month of owning the device, handling it just like my old phone. Old phone (droid 3-no gorilla) took me over a year and a half to scratch. 1st phone with (or maybe not!) gorilla, and if this is it, I'm not impressed.

Interesting........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Well, it all started when I dropped my phone literally 6 inches from the ground and it shattered in the grass . The first rep said yes , but then escalated it for me . They , in turn contacted Verizon who said that it was on the international version of the phone . Needless to say , I was really upset because that was a huge selling feature for me .. Make a long story short , they shut me up by having me pay 45 for a new phone . Obviously I took them up on the offer but I am still upset about it .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Hm . . .

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Yea, I done the online chat once with Samsung about it before calling them . I have a open case with them and its something that Verizon knows about regarding their S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
This was a chat with Samsung, not Verizon. Verizon didn't manufacture the phone.

I'm not certain what is going on in your interactions with Verizon, but I suspect that someone on their side is not fully understanding the product's specifications related to what gets fixed when a display cracks or such. Perhaps they simply don't know or even need to care who made the glass portion of the display, so long as replacement parts can be obtained and successfully replaced (for a price).

Otherwise, your experience is seemingly unique on the Internet, contradicts what Samsung and Corning have stated in their product releases and specifications for this phone, and counters what Samsung Support just looked up (took them a few minutes) and confirmed to me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I'll have to second the fact that Verizon has no clue about their stuff. I had one of the sales guys swearing up and down that everyone on their 4GLTE network gets the same speeds... period. That you wouldn't see a slow down even in an area of high use... Now any person with half a brain knows that there are factors that affect the speeds dramatically and not everyone will see the same speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
All I can say is this , there are tons of cases here on this site and of course around the web with people who's phone shattered or cracked way too easily , thus questioning the legality of the Gorilla Glass 2 . Samsung's upper management has confirmed several issues as has Verizon's . Verizon only knows what the specs are based on what the manufacturer's sends them , however, they have dug deeper into the issue regarding their S3 and the glass . I do suspect a huge class action law suit before too long .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
the idea of gorrilla glass isn't to be indestructable. It's just hard and therefor resists scratching. You can still break it, it is just glass after all...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Perhaps that's a manufacturing liability issue, but that does not seem to address the issue that part of this display is made by Corning.

Personally, my phone has dropped three times on concrete and you can barely see the teeniest sliver of a scratch off the viewable display area, but I realize that's not a full test of the scratch resistance for the phone and others have complained about scratches from their own circumstances.

Certainly, the glass is supposed to be scratch-resistant compared to regular glass, but not scratch or shatter-proof. If there's a lawsuit in the works that would be curious and I'd be interested in the comparative stats of Corning's current glass vs its prior version in other products.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
It was advertised as Gorilla Glass 2 . This is the issue .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Not sure what that means, honestly. All public statements claim it is Corning's product being used, so you're either claiming fraud or deficiency - right?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abhijit.dahiya:
Brian Gove is right, CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS is glass and it can be broken, hell bullet proof glass can be broken :)

I should have posted this earlier, but thought it was common knowledge:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
I didn't watch the youtube video, but otherwise didn't see this posted in this thread:

Gorilla glass 2 povides the same protection level as original gorilla glass, but with less thickness.

So the protection didn't increase, it just got thinner and lighter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
It basically is common knowledge .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Your posts seem to contradict that point.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tghockey07:
I know that one quite well. I've broken the screen on my Droid 1, 3 times and my Droid Bionic once. It might be virtually scratch proof, but it will definitely break.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Sand or quartz still scratches Corning gorilla glass 2. Went to the beach without a screen protector with my S3 (silly me I know) came home with 3 small scratches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
The video I embedded actually goes into that point in detail. It's pretty interesting, though I realize that doesn't make it less irritating.

They show a screen protector that's essentially a layer of Gorilla-like glass, so it can get scratched or broken and take the abuse for your actual display glass.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
They certainly do not contradicted that point at all . I gave an example of what occurred and what lead me to think this it was not Gorilla Glass 2 . That coupled with the facts that a lot of other people are having /did have the same issue . The obvious thing is , is that it's glass , and glass can be broken .. That was never the issue nor is the issue ... Maybe if you read post more thoroughly , perhaps you might see that ? Point in case ::

You showed where you were on line chat with Samsung and my reply was this

Then you follow up by stating this ...

Attention to detail ? None the less , this is still working and has been escalated ... Did , during the manufacturing process , Samsung cut some corners and stick something else on there ? That will be found out soon .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Your posts meandered and lacked detail, insinuating that either Gorilla Glass 2 was not on the phone - which I challenged rather thoroughly and you never answered clearly - or, that the product was defective, which I noted could certainly be the cause of a complaint to the manufacturer.

If you ever showed a reasonable sense of accepting that Gorilla Glass 2 could be scratched easily in the right circumstances or otherwise break (again, in the right circumstances), it never came out. Until the above post, I still had no idea what your vague implication of a lawsuit - presumably a class-action suit - against . . . someone . . . was meant to imply. Samsung? Verizon? Corning?

So, now we know it is Samsung and you are claiming that they didn't actually use the Corning product. Which means that their Support folks were lying to me or misinformed. Which means that Samsung's repeated press releases and specifications for the phone were misleading. Which also means that Corning was deceived and the products they sent to Samsung were not actually used in full fashion.

I asked you to provide evidence of wrongdoing or defect to consider and you've not done so except to state that some rep apparently couldn't understand your chat (which I explained, since it happened to others - I can provide links) and that its resistance to scratching or breaking didn't meet your expectations.

As I stated, this would be a major scoop on your part if you discovered that the glass was not Corning's or another manufacturer's Gorilla Glass 2-like product - the XDA video offered that other manufacturers make equivalent products for the Galaxy S III. It still would be, if this turns out to be the case.

You want attention to detail? Then please reply with something to analyze, instead of vague innuendo that seems to belie an understanding of what this glass product can actually do and can't.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Posting "something to analyze" has nothing to do with comprehending what is in front of you . Obviously , you are fee to think what you want and to draw your own conclusions as you already have :good: The rest is just blah .. Now , back on topic . .

Let us know when you prove something, then. Wouldn't you want to take credit for such a significant discovery of corporate malfeasance?

Has anyone had any success in using Wifi File Transfer Pro, with uploading files to the memory card? I tried to move a 2.6gb mkv to my memory card from my pc, via this app, and it wont work. When i tried with the free version, it said i needed the Pro, so i got the Pro, and still nothing.

I know i can do this File Manager HD and ES, but i wanted to try this out.

I don't know about Wifi File Transfer, but I use WiFi File Explorer Pro just fine. The only issue i run into is on my work LAN, where the network prohibits it.

i have the pro version and use it on all my android devices. it works like a champ for me and i highly recommend it to others. i have moved a lot of things, but not sure if if ever moved 2.6gigs at one time. i would try to break it up if possible. not sure what mkv is so excuse my ignorance with that.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycolch:
Hi there,

I am seriously considering getting a note 10.1 - but I would only do so if that enabled me to go totally (or very nearly) paperless.

I have tried the text recognition thing on the S note in a store and while it seems fine, I think the lag is such that it is totally unrealistic that one would use that while taking notes in a meeting or during a conversation. So my question is: is it possible to set the HWR so that instead of converting the text "as you write" it does so for a block of text when you tell the tab that you are done writing?

I think I saw in the S-pen settings that there was an option with words to the effect "recognition at the end of the stroke" - Can anyone tell me what the other possible options there?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron2k_1:
I'm not so sure if SNOte can do what you wish. I haven't tested the app in that scenario.

The other tablet I had before this (Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet) had a proprietary app called MyScript Notes, and with it you could just write, no log, and at the end you can select which sections or your write-up you want converted to text with a Lasso tool.

I'll explore more tonight; I know I have to get to that manual one of these days...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HasC:
There's an app on the market called 7 notes that will allow you to write in your handwriting and later on convert it to text if you use its in built note pad. You can also use their handwriting keyboard in any application that uses text input however, this method will convert handwriting straight away.

It is a very accurate app at a more than reasonable price.

Alternatively you can use the Samsung keyboard to write a block of text in the handwriting panel and edit it before submitting, see my video on you tube on how to enable this feature on the following link:

No problems anytime. Just fyi, I use this tablet at work extensively and it has completely replaced a notepad for me and saves me lots of time and confusion trying to type and decipher my handwritten notes that I used to rush to do after a meeting in case I forgot or couldn't remember what I wrote.

I am now reverting my phone to stock, I've flashed the stock rom image and while I was downloading the appropriate RUU I left my phone on, in the bootloader for around 2 hours while I had around 40% battery. Now the phone turned off and I have red LED blinking, and the phone doesn't turn on even when I press powerkey + volume down, is that because battery is empty or is it bricked?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kiteman76:
Hi,

in our warehouse I use the Galaxy Wifi 4.0 with a Motorola RS507 bluetoothscanner for orderpicking.

I have 10 of them all working without any problem. Now I needed 10 more, but the 4.0 is replaced by the 4.2. So I bought them instead.

But I cannot get the scanners working with this device.

If I want to connect the scanner I get the message:

Confirm passkey is xxxxxx to pair with RS507 1234

I can press "Accept" or "Decline"

When I press "Accept", it says "paired" but I cannot use the device.Also the device give no confirmation sound that it is connected.

On all the other devices (Wifi 4.0, Galaxy S, Lenovo A1 Tablet) I get the message:

Confirm password to pair with "RS507 1234"

Then I only have to press Accept and the device is paired and working.

Does anyone have a similar problem with another bluetooth device and knows a solution how I can connect the scanner?

If it will not work I have to look around for the old Galaxy Wifi 4.0.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jlyo:
Try enabling CONFIG_BT_HID in your kernel. I say this since the scanner's datasheet has blutooth HID listed, the 4.2 kernel doesn't have it enabled, and my 4.0 *does* have it enabled. In the 4.0 it's configured as a module, but you could try getting away with linking it directly in your kernel just in case the 4.2's init scripts/ueventd doesn't load it.

If you need help doing this let me know in a PM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kiteman76:
Thanks for your help. But I configured the scanner to use SPP an not the HID profile. Is SPP also disabled ?

It is not that important for me anymore.I bought 15 new 4.0 devices. But as a sport I want to get it working on de the 4.2 :)

RS507 and Android Phone

Hi,

I've tried connecting Android to various other BT scanners before (using the SPP) and have not had problems. But I'm struggling on the RS unit.

What I normally do is on other scanners is turn pairing on for the scanner, connect and pair to the unit from the phone. Then start my application on the phone, which initiates the connection to the scanner and connects. Then I can read from the scanner and all works well.

On the RS this seems different, as you don't seem to put the RS in pair mode and connect to it. instead the process seems to be to scan a barcode on/for the device (with MAC id?) and the RS connects?

Either way, I have not managed to get this to work.

Can someone provide me with the correct process to connect the RS to an android device in SPP mode?

Any help or working code example would be much appreciated! :)

[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
I spend two hours going over these and there's a buttload of changes, and directly porting it over doesn't work.

A few things to say about them:

The LTE version will have a Qualcomm modem.

There's a new device coming out codenamed Pegasus Prime.

The Exynos 4412 is getting a new revision, Rev 2.0, with default clocks of 1.6GHz, 10% boost on memory and and bus clocks, and default 533MHz Mali clocks. This seems to be what's inside the Note 2.

An idiotically large amount of other changes. This source drop contains a lot more than the source code for the 9305, but is infested with code from lots of other devices. If the 9300 source drop is as dirty as this, I reckon it's better to use that as a base than try to patch your current working directories, it's messy and it's big.
