[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuke61:
I don't understand why you don't want your dad to get a phone that he wants. It's true that iPhones are limited/locked down compared with Android phones, but they also have their advantages. He can likely get help from anyone who has an iPhone, because of that consistency. Even though I've owned an original Moto Droid and then switched to an HTC DInc 2, I feel somewhat lost when looking at other Android phones, mostly because of the manufacturer overlays (Sense, TouchWiz, etc.) and other changes that they make.

I tried getting my wife to switch from her Blackberry to Android, but after she tried my Moto Droid she said she hated it. After she tried my DInc 2 she said she hated it and would stay with her Blackberry rather than switch to a smartphone. One day one of her friends showed her an iPhone 4 and guess what? Yep... she wanted one. The UI is simpler and less customizable, but it's also easier to understand and start using quickly. Maybe something similar is going through your dad's head. While there are really good Android phones out there, it's mostly a crap shoot unless you know exactly what you're doing, and getting help, even from another Android phone owner, can also be a crap shoot. The simplicity and consistency of the iPhone is a liability OR a plus, depending on who's looking at it.

I see them as too limiting, and that's why I've purchased and am waiting for my Moto Razr M developer edition.

If you're looking for ease of use, get him a WP phone. Those are way easier to use and much smoother than iOS or Android.

I find Android a lot easier to use than iOS, though. I can never find where anything is on iOS, and it's not intuitive to me at all.

Hi,

New to theses forums.

I've a usb brick problem on my sgs.

The problem appear 1 month after upgrading from Froyo (Bouygues Operator) to Gingerbread (with Bouygues Operator) via Kies.

Every thing works well except usb connections to any PC or notebook (Win7 and Windows 2000)

When connected, sgs is not recognized (Unknown Device)

My Actual OS Configuration : Baseband I9000XXJVO, Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000POJV7-CL186370dpi@androidbuilder03 #2.

After reading some post like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1464052, I've tried the following, but nothing of these was successful :

1> Uninstal Phone Drivers on Windows and reconnect the device

2> Other pc usb port

3> Other pc or format

4> Other usb cable

5> Try Mobile Odin : I can't use it, because my rom gb2.3.3 is still not rooted

6> Use Jig : I don't think a JIG dongle can solve the problem, since my rom is still official

7> Try to apply universal_gb_root_v15.zip on Recovery Mode

8> Try to apply another update.zip (to root GB, in order to install Jelly Bean with Mobil Odin, witch requires root)

9> Having the phone connected to notebook and then turning the notebook on -- Didnt work in my case

Don't know how to do ; since my device cannot be recognized by a PC, I cannot use neither ODIN, nor zergrush batch.

Therefore I have not found any update.zip to root GB 2.3.3, and still wonder if there is one.

Anyway i'd like to install Jelly Bean custom ROM with CM9 to be able to use OTG function.

Can anyone bring me some help to root and then install JB ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
First, you need to resolve your connection problem as you need to be on a 2.3.6 boot loader to get your phone functioning on an ICS or JB, without complications.

So try and use the solution from My Android Solutions to solve it or IF your USB port is broken, get it replaced , a guide is available at My Androids collections , link below

Wow! That sucks! I have dropped my Galaxy S2 several times from 4+', landing face down on pavement, without cracking my glass! I've chipped the outer plastic casing mind you, but the glass itself has survived every drop!

I get the impression from this that the glass on the S3 isn't as strong as the glass on the S2! You would think that as the device grows in versions, that Samsung would be making it better, not worse!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bradbusa:
The galaxy s3 has gorilla glass 2. Several times stronger than what is on the s2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bitl3ss:

The galaxy s3 screen isn't close to as strong as the sgs2.

They really screwed up this screen... :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
I'm pretty sure their both gorilla glass. I could drop my s3 ten times and it might not break but a friend could drop his s3 once and it might just land poorly and crack. It's just the way things go sometimes. You can find a glass replacement kit on eBay for the s3, you just need to choose the white or blue bezel.

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant not impact resistant. Sand will scratch the hell out of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jofish89:
s3 screen

Same here. My S2 was dropped, pressed against keys etc and it never got any scratches.

After 2 days with my S3, the screen has visible scratches from my jeans pockets (why is there a freaking metal button near the pocket entrance o.0 )

anyway, even if its GG2, I feel like the screen is more prone to scratches somehow...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SevenSe7enSeven:
Well the s2 and s3 are shaped differently. The glass on the s2 is flat and the s3 curves out a bit so you're more likely to impact the glass on the s3 when dropped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grizzlymint:
Do they not have a red replacement yet? Dang. Also I noticed these are for the international version. I assume that it would fit the ATT as well? I haven't tried taking it to them yet. Might tomorrow. But honestly not holding my breath.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] limpexowns:
With these increasing threads about S3 and the screen being cracked even by the minor drops, I had no choice but to buy an impact resistant case that best protects the screen.I just purchased the Ballistic Shell Gel (SG) Case for Galaxy S3 which seems to have pretty good reviews. Worth a $20 investment to save a $600 jewel. I'll post a review when I receive the case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
Look into the Zagg extreme.. There is a youtube video of people from best buy testing it with the sgs3.

I'd you didn't know by now. Our screen is one of the worst screens since the original iphone in terms of being fragile.. I wouldn't be surprised if it broke dropped onto thick carpet..

With that said.. Invest in a good screen protector

Repair costs

Sooo..All interesting comments.

Anybody have a replacement cost for this? I know I can buy replacement glass on Ebay for 25 bucks but I've been told the replacement is not easy and may likely break the digitizer below. The digitizer and glass is about 250 on Ebay.ca

A local repair place will fix it in one day for 350. Their cost includes a new digitizer and glass as one piece. Explains the comments about not replacing the glass by itself.

I've contacted Samsung and they'll take a look and if determined that it's not a defect, I'm liable for the costs plus the $30 diagnostic fee. Fair since I dropped it. Had a case but didn't cover the screen at the point it dropped. Stupid choice by me.

So I'm trying to determine what the cost to replace the glass will be by Samsung. Anybody gone through this yet to know?

Mike
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Killua_22:
I'm not sure what replacing by Samsung directly is, but I know of two shops that replace just the screen(yes, you read it right) for $125 & 150 respectively. So maybe using this as reference, is what I'm assuming you might pay if you send it to Samsung perhaps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grizzlymint:
I think I am going to attempt to fix it by using the glass replacement in some of the other threads. My question, would a hair dryer work, or should I just invest for a heat gun?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eaglesniper:
I have been playing around with themes quite a bit over the past few days. Before deciding on a theme I enjoyed, I installed another theme and flashed it's add-on zip to make the package complete.

It turns out I didn't enjoy what it did, and has made some of my phone apps (messaging, email, etc) unreadable due to poor colour choices.

Now, I know that any smart person would have created a backup of their ROM before flashing anything... however it seems I am not the brightest light bulb out there. My closest backup is 3 days ago, and I would be losing quite a bit of custom work that I've done on my phone for the past two days.

Does anyone know of a stock app package that I could flash to reverse the effects of the theme? Or any way I would be able to remove the themed apps without returning my phone to it's 3 day old state?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If this helps any, I'm on an HTC Incredible S running Codename Android ViVo 3.5.0 (JB 4.1), stock kernel.

Haven't been on this forum in years and now back. Looking at getting the Galaxy S3 from ATT as the new iphone doesn't seem worth it after all this wait. I have never used any android device before so know nothing about their OS or anything really. I've used HTC Tilt2 device which was probably my last device on this forum and flashed roms and all that just fine. Looking on here though for the past hour i can't find like a tutorial on how to flash roms? Do i need to unlock my stock phone first?

I see people talk about using Odin which sounds like this is a flashing software for roms?

I'm really interested in flashing this rom, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 as it seems like a stock rom but with all the upgrades in speed/stability/etc. How would i do this and safely?

What are the fail safe procedures such as i get a bad flash what do i do? Phone doesn't finish flash and gets stuck on boot logo what do i do? If im at work and this happens can i fix it via SD card while on the go?

I remember there usually being a sticky that answers this kind of stuff but have read all the stickies for this sub-forum device and found none that in layman's terms describes the above?

I will be reading much more on this site trying to figure this thing out but this really all is Chinese to me as i know nothing about android and their OS or flashing procedures. Remember the days of a simple rom flash on my Tilt2 device took about 30 seconds no brainer. I some how can't understand this stuff though. Greatly appreciate if anyone can answer the above questions and/or point me in the right directions as a total 100% noob to android and this phone. Thank you for your time.
