[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MrPhoneMan:
Hi, sad situation for me...bought the S3 last Wednesday. Phone slipped out of pants pocket yesterday, screen completely shattered, on impact with floor. The phone was a hardware upgrade, so it cost me virtually nothing for the phone, however, now I have lost the warranty, and my repair bill to fix the screen is going to be approximately $300 and $40 to get the repair estimate. I used a credit card to pay for it which has insurance only up to what I paid. So after repairs I will have a non warranted phone and out of pocket $$$, so much for my hardware upgrade phone cost saving. Even if I purchased the protection plan I would be out $200, and no warranty either. Sadly, 2 service reps said they have the same phone and their kids play with it and drop it all the time. I guess I must be the lucky one who got one with defective glass?? Heres hoping nothing happens technically with the phone over the next 3 years.

Any one else have glass issues?

Jesus, ever heard of a case? I purchased an Otterbox from the day they released it for the S3.

Next time get a case of some sort, problem solved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] markysd:
Sorry about your phone.. But next time it's time to use a case that's has a good amount of protection depending on you....

As for maybe having a defected screen that you think broke to easy... It all depends how the phone /screen hits the ground and what type.. I saw them gorilla glass demos how it can take a good beating and how much pressure it takes to cracked the screen.. I think that's just marketing.. They don't demo it with a phone that's why we have people in YouTube for that lol.. Some people screen break from a 2 foot fall..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djkinetic:
I doubt the glass was defective, its been shown that if the phone falls a certain way the glass will shatter, generally if you drop the phone naked from a pretty considerable height more then 3 feet, and it hits one of the corners generally the top, the glass will shatter. Like everyone else has said get a case. Ive dropped my phone a few times now still looks as new as the day I bought it, I recommend TPU cases from Diztronic or SGP, thing enough and provide a decent amount of drop protection.

I have an otterbox commuter case and my phone just survived a car accident.

It flew from the console, hit the dash, bounced to the deploying airbag bounced off the rear glass and landed in the drivers footwell.

Yup, really fragile this phone.

I have a defender series and personally I don't notice the bulk that much, if u really cared about the bulk why even have a case ? Just get invis shield and call it a day. Only real downside of an otter box is that the open areas,I.e. home button cameras and speakers/mics get dirty and have to be cleaned.

I've found the screen protector that's built in to the Defender doesn't seat properly on the screen (most likely due to the slightly concave screen). I just popped the screen protector out, installed a screen protector on the phone, good to go.

REALLY sorry to hear about your screen! That really sucks! I put a Trident Kraken AMS on mine and have dropped it twice on concrete, Barely a scratch; cost me $30.

The Gorilla Glass was never designed to survive that type of fall. It's designed to resist scratching(against items with the same strength), and that's about all.

Get a decent case, it really is worth the extra bulk

Basically this tweak will modify "Init.d", "Build.prop" and add some features.

I've been using it for a day now without noticing any difference (not that I expected to be super noticeable), but I'd like to know if you guys notice any performance boost.

Lets share and compare!

edit: it should work now, but if your installer takes a second to finish, read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32865023&postcount=20

edit: additional lines in "Init.d" and "Build.prop" are added, just check yours to confirm.

Using MIUIXXX, selected AOSP Gingerbread when installing this. I installed this on the Nexus 7 as well and the installation (after picking all the items) took about 15secs on that one, but on my SGA it took 1second instead, so I'm not 100% sure it's working. The difference between the options that I used on the Nexus 7 was that I also installed 6-7 themes (which might explain the longer wait). Still, it does makes sense that the installation would take really fast since basically the only thing that was added/changed in my SGA was plain text.

I posted it here so maybe some of you could confirm that it does improve our phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] diegonnc:
Its not working then, beacuse i checked every single option, including themes and some file explorers, ah and the walkman music player. And it does nothing, i mean there is not a single app installed after running the setup.Maybe its not compatible ?

Hey, guys! Tried V.2 for MDPI, I flashed it choosing stock gingerbread (instead of AOSP) and

I instantly felt a faster overall performance! I'd like someone else to test it out to confirm that this isnt a placebo effect xD

And also, it took like a sec to install this time as well but as I said, it seem to work!

note: I skipped the multitasking step since I had no idea which one suited me.

Make a backup before flashing

Swap files!

HEy. IF you were to go see the original PMR thread, you would see that in order for it to work on some devices, you have to switch binary-update-installer from the ROM you have (the roms' .zip file) to the PMR zip file.

Just follow my guide:

Open the zip of the rom you are running (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)

Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android

Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer"

Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.4.1-Universal.zip)

Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"

Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android)

Close the zip and flash it, the installation process should now work normally so you can Pimp your Rom !

this goes to everyone who experience a problem when pressing INSTALL and it finishes in a second, without any logs showing.

Have a nice day, press THANK YOU if it worked ;)

I love CM10 but I hate it doesn't have t9 keyboard, the camera miss lot of options, also the video recording is not smooth, 720p resolution is gone, 3d panorama or panorama is not there also least can we take that feature out of it? Also, the CM10 address book is a nightmare, I can't select several contacts and send an sms, or easy edit a contact, this are primary aspects of the phone usage that really makes CM10 a mess, The music player Apollo also is not that great since it don't save the album images, making it show empty photo library almost everytime...

Can someone please provide a noob-friendly tutorial that explains how to root the GX2? I've tried NVFlash, Super One Click, and Gingerbreak 1.2.0. None of them have produced any results...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
The first problem I see is the thread you referenced here is for the O2x, not the G2x. You need too confirm which phone you have. The G2x is LG P-999, while the O2x is LG P-990.

They cannot use the same root methods, AFAIK
[T-Mobile LG G2x] musaddict:
That is the least helpful response to a request for a noob tutorial :P I have the GX2, GB 2.3.4, all the tutorials I'm finding are to root 2.3.3 or lower, everyone I come across is wondering how to root 2.3.4, and the only seemingly helpful tutorials are blocked by the FBI. Can someone please point me to a *helpful*, **working**, ***current*** tutorial?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
And that is the LEAST RESPECTFUL post asking for help. I wonder why people shun XDA? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] musaddict:
How is saying something is unhelpful, disrespectful? I merely specified what I was looking for, after not getting any actual help from neglecting to do so previously.

Allow me to reiterate my problem:

I have an T-Mobile LG Gx2 with GB 2.3.4 installed. To my knowledge, SuperOneClick, NVFlash, and GingerBreak have no effect on 2.3.4. Also to my knowledge, there are a handfull of people in my same situation who also have the same problem (on a YouTube tutorial on how to root the LG Gx2 specifically, which only shows 2.3.3 installed).

To me, there seems to be an impassable obstacle here, and I was hoping to find some help. What I found was non-help, which I explained.

So, I respectfully request help on this issue; how am I to get around this seemingly impassable obstacle? If you have the know-how, please explain it intimately, as I am still learning how to do these things (I have upgraded my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959 to CM10, but I have yet to come across any problem like this before).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aricrj:
The easiest way is NVflash. What version of windows are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] musaddict:
Win 7 Professional 64-Bit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] musaddict:
What is that quote referring to? Can you provide a link?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
Seriously? perhaps you're just the worst noob ever. You says you used something you find in the forum for a DIFFERENT phone. We can't help you if we're giving you instructions for the wrong phone, so confirming the phone is a very important step. Also, if you would try just a little bit of searching you would find countless tutorials for noobs on this site.

I can personally confirm nvflash works on 2.3.4. Nvflash does not depend on the ROM in any way, shape, or form.

And if you want to install any custom ROMs on this phone, nvflash is pretty much a must. Follow the instructions verbatim and you should be fine.

And try not insulting people who have been here for a while and are trying to help you, because you might not get much help after that
