I'm pretty darn strict when it comes taking care of my devices. Mostly due to the fact that I won't have the money to get another one. In general, I just like to take care of the things that I have. That said, my Nexus is used (no case) and thus has a couple teeny tiny crumb size knicks on the bottom left and right.9.9/10. Can't see them unless the phone is up to your face. Screen is flawless. As for dropping it, only once I BELIEVE, but it was on the carpet.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Mine has done fine mostly naked except screen protector. Only damage occurred from a violent drop on concrete...or well, not so much a drop as a collapse of the pile of boxes I had the phone placed on top of, throwing it onto concrete....so yeah, there's a scuffed corner or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
I just bumped it so people would see it, it went to page 2, but replies are welcome too!

You guys can see poll results, right? Looks like scratches on the screen are almost as common as no scratches on the screen.... It's not Gorilla Glass, right? Some reinforced alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
I have a hairline scratch on the screen only visible when the screen is off and at a certain angle. Still irks me at times though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyDeez:
Top left part of the screen is pushed in a bit, by about a millimeter... came like that :/ otherwise perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
With all the reports of scratching, I'm starting to think a case isn't necessary.

As far as I'm concerned, a case isn't worth it if the phone is damaged, I would never bother with a case on a used phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasonhunterx:
My Galaxy with gorilla glass held up much better this thing scratches easily
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
You're talking about the TPU case on Amazon with the Android on the back that comes in like 6 different colors? How is it? I hear it has a wrist strap loop on like the upper right hand corner (bad spot, no?), but it looks like the thread or whatever would be crammed between the case and the GalNex...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Interesting results, folks... Bumping this for everyone's benefit (arguably everyone's benefit...).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xummoner:
Mine has a couple of nicks on the lower left corner. They look like a cat tried to bite into it (which is probably what happened) because I've only had this phone for 3-4 weeks and haven't dropped it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Mine isn't even dirty(only had it for 5 months though)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] notanoob:
Mine is mint condition, using it naked except for screen guard. A few very minute scratch on the rear . 9/10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
the outsides of the volume hole is scuffed by the headphones jack, a few small blemishes on my "chassis"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brooksyx:
I've had my phone about 2 months. I prefer it naked when I am at home or sitting at my desk at work. But it I am out and about I throw a basic tpu case on it just case I bump into someone or miss on the transfer to the pocket haha.

So far no real blemishes. I usually role with a screen protector but I can get one to adhere good to the curved glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
Have had it since January and mine is as follows:

I just have a cheap silicon/rubber bumper case around mine - it's taken a few parking lot falls out of pocket getting out of car and the worst damage so far is a tiny hairline crack about midway down on the left side - but length doesn't run into the viewing area.

Have a couple other minor scratches on screen including one about 1cm long below the forward facing camera but nothing that impacts viewing.

Pretty sure I've long worn off the oleophobic coating though. I keep considering getting myself an XO skin cover for the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
I had a TPU case for a little while that ended up catching a lot of dirt in it, and it scuffed the bottom edges of the phone. I've been using it naked ever since, with a microfiber sleeve that I just use for protecting it while it's in my pocket.

Why couldn't Samsung have included a sleeve like what HTC did with the Nexus One?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
My only concern with using a sleeve would be pocket lint/dust/sand getting into it... and then it basically creates a worse situation. Not familiar with the design of the one you're using or HTCs - is there something to prevent that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CliveCleaves:
I got a nice case on the cheap off amazon, even though I do prefer the feel of naked (lol) I got worried every time I'd drop it or almost drop it.

No scratches anywhere on the body or the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zombeezy:
Got tired of how slippery it was with an Otterbox case, so bought a cheap sticky case from a Verizon store when picking up the extended battery. Ability to hold it in one hand and not zip across the room like a watermelon seed squeezed between the fingers plays a huge role in rarely dropping it where I couldn't block it from hitting the ground by sticking out a shoe, lol. No damage so far ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plasticities:
Hey I got mine in July, been using it with a diztronic tpu case and an xgear tempered glass screen protector, but due to the sensitivity issues with a screen protector on the curved glass, I've gone with a naked screen and loving it way more. My nexus is in top shape, the trick is to be careful.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
I'm leaning towards some kind of sleeve myself... Cases are good for protecting from drops, which never really happens with me. And you know how silicone ones, you like push the silicone out if you're moving widgets between pages for example, a bit annoying.

Another thought, given the issues with burn-in and the charging port...and the power + volume buttons, I think scuffs should be the least of our problems. And yet. lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crypticalz:
Okay so i was working in the garage and my captivate got bumped off the table and fell flat on its back and webbed out the screen (DAMN IT!).

Lucky i got 2 more sitting as backups.

My problem is its stuck in fast charge and i cant use the screen to get out of it and cant see anything (the screens finally faded so cant tell if its in recovery or not)

Is there any app or method i can use to force it in to mass storage mode or something to extract my files (i don't know all the directory's or id use adb and extract each folder) also there a way to do a rom backup so i don't got to start over from scratch with all my tweaks iv done.

Sorry if theirs a post for this i looked and didn't see anything for my series (didn't check newer models yet but going to after i post)

I have tried several times to install the recovery file to my new Zeki 7 tablet so that I can use the Play Store apps. I have followed the instructions completely and placed the zip file into the root directory of the SD card. Every time I do this, however, the system reboots with the following message:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] zamiikx:
Hace tiempo empeze a flashear mi dispositivo

con roms en base a gingerbread,

despues pase a las roms de ICS

pero como aun tenian muchas fallas regrese a light orange v5

estaba jugando el GTA III

abri el terminal editor

e ingrese

un dato erroneo debibo a la falla de traduccion

me apareci "SU impulsar"

en lugar de "SU BOOST"

para activar el adreline boost

y no sucedio nada

al intentar al GTA me aparecio que no respondia

y asi probe con varias apps y lo mismo, lo reinicie

oh sorpresa se quedaba hasta la imagen de galaxy gio

intente instalar la rom nuevamente, y otras depues probe la

stock 2.3.6 , 2.3.3

asi q probe la cyanogen mod

y fue la unica q me ha corrido

ya que al instalar cualquier otra rom no stock

se me queda pasmado en la imagen galaxy gio

y en la stock todo corre normalmente en ODIN pero el celular me marca error

en el archivo CSC y se queda en la imagen de presentacion galaxy gio y se reinicia

lo intente rebajar hasta el froyo

pero ahi el movil quedo apagado de todo a todo

y con un truco lo revivi

y solo pude instalar ICS nuevamente

Si alguien sabe como regresar a mi stock

de otra manera

ya intente con varios comandos y nada

e incluso se daño mi linea y no me reconoce ninguna SIM

y por ahora solo puedo correr ICS (Maclaw) y Jelly bean (Maclaw y Jellaxy )

Extraño al confiable Gingerbread :(

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> English <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Some time ago I started to flash my device

with gingerbread based roms,

then go to the ICS roms

but still had many flaws as a light orange back v5

was playing GTA III

I opened the terminal editor

and enter

debibo wrong data to the failure of translation

I appeared "SU impulsar"

instead of "su boost"

to activate the boost adreline

and nothing happened

me trying to GTA appeared unresponsive

and also probe with several apps and the same, restart

oh surprise stayed until the image of galaxy gio

try installing the rom again, and the other probe depues

stock 2.3.6, 2.3.3

also probe the cyanogen mod q

and was the only one I have run q

because when you install any other rom not stock

I is amazed at the image galaxy gio

and the stock ODIN everything runs normally but mark me wrong cell

CSC and the file remains in the introduction image and restarts galaxy gio

I try to downgrade to froyo

but there the phone stayed off throughout the whole

and a trick I REVIVI

and I could only install ICS again

If anyone knows how to get back to my stock

otherwise

and try various commands and nothing

and even damage my line and I do not recognize any SIM

and for now I can only run ICS (Maclaw) and Jelly bean (Maclaw and Jellaxy)

Strange to reliable Gingerbread: (
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhariamine:
I tried today Dualbooting Omega v27.1 as primary Rom and ParanoidAndroid JB as secondary rom and it worked perfectly.

Now i tried the same primary rom (Omega v27.1) and HyperGalaxy,Hyperlight,and some other small lite rom,none of them worked instead Blackscreen loop.

So my question is ; can i Dual Boot my Omega v27.1 with foxhound or Wanamlite or any other custom Rom,or this is just incompatibility of Updater Script from EveryRom??

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aPollO2k:
gb? you mean ics roms! there is no gingerbrad rom for s3

and yes. newest release of shiya are only compatible with jelly bean rom's. it's better way to copy 1st rom to 2 rom directory by using the shiya 2nd boot utils an flash the other rom as first rom using normal recovery.

must flash shiya again after flash of any romwithout shiya included!

[Desire General] erklat:
Panic! Civilians through the door first!

You wiped everything including your nandroid if you had one. You'll need to download rom you were using and start over again.
[Desire General] DZYR:
Did you have a clockwork mod backup of your current ROM?

Can you still get into recovery?

If yes, then boot into recovery and restore the last backup of your ROM.

If you don't have a backup and can boot into recovery, then you'll have to flash the ROM afresh.

If you can't get into recovery, then download recovery.img (maybe clockwork mod) and push recovery via adb to your phone.

Hope this info helps.

[XPERIA X8 General] NinoRapis:
I read this article ... and our X8 it seems vulnerable to an remote attack usdd

read article and check this test with browser:

remote attack usdd test page

i use GingerDx v029 with stock kernel is the attack is successful, my imei code appeared, I do not know if with other ROM, you will experience also with your rom and report if you want.

the solution appears to be to use a new dialer called Dialer One, free on Google play.... or some Web users have reported that the code appears to be ineffective when run on browsers other than the default, which could be a temporary solution.

:eek:

nice speech, but the security flaw persists my friend :angel:
[XPERIA X8 General] Arjen:
It's a known issue on many phones, seems JB is not vulnerable, and if I remember correctly neither are CM roms but not too sure about it..

Problem lies in the way the dialer handles those requests. But if it shows the IMEI it is not said the remote wipe using this vulnerablety is also working. You are potential vulnerable to it.

An option is to install a second dialer so a pop up screen will appear, the code will not be activated automaticly that way.
[XPERIA X8 General] Prawesome:
I don't think CM7 is invulnerable ..I remember one of my friend saying that the test took him to the dialer and showed the IMEI

It stucks.

What should I do?

*I can put the phone on download mode.

Thanks.

2. Did it happen after trying to flash anything?

3. Can you give any details about the Rom and kernel on phone?

2. No.

3. Lite'ning rom, ICS 4.0.3, also my android version is 4.0.3, I don't know what kernel is, sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Ok. Probably a mild problem.

1. Boot to CWM recovery

2. Format /system (under mounts and storage)

3. Flash your ROM again

4. Wipe cache partition

5. Wipe dalvik cache

6. Reboot phone

Note: the above process will not wipe your data

Good luck.

Under mounts and storage means that you will find "format /system" after you first select "mounts and storage"

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrKrusty:
About a year ago, my wife got an NC and I installed CM7 on a microSD card. She loves the NC/CM7 combo. A week ago, I got a NC for my birthday. But I cannot get write the image to the microSD card. Any and all help would be appreciated.

My problem is that when I try to write the image to the card (on Win7, using three different image writers), I get the error message that says "Error in writing disk Disk 1, error 5, access is denied." I have browsed all the threads and searched them. I have also searched the internet. It seems that the problem is that something else is accessing the microSD card, or at least the image writer thinks that that is true, and write access is denied.

I have browsed all the NC threads on this board and searched the internet. It seems that the most common response was to use a different image writer. I have used WinImage, Win32DiskImager and RoadKill. I get the same error message on all of them. I have tried to track down what program/process might be accessing the card, and haven't found any. (Based on my reading in this forum, I have made sure that no Explorer window is open.)

The only advice I've read which I haven't tried yet is to use an external card reader. I have an HP G62 laptop with a built-in card reader. (And it was this system which I used to mod my wife's NC, so I know that the hardware used to work.) I would really like to NOT buy an external card reader, which is why I'm trying to track this down.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?

TIA

Why do you NOT want to buy an external card reader? It is most likely the cause of your issue. They are cheap (less than $5) and readily available. EBay has them for 99¢.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Since you are obviously using an SD adapter to be able to fit it into the PC card reader, that could be bad too. In fact some card adapters have a write protect switch on them to prevent accidental writing.

If you get an external micro card reader you can throw away that card adapter and have one less thing laying around.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrKrusty:
Hmmm . . . I have gotten another microSD card (Sandisk 4gb Class 4); that didn't work -- got same error message. So I bought a microSD card reader. And I got the same error message. Win7 insists that something is accessing this microSD card at the same time I am trying to write the image onto it.

That just about exhausts the solutions I've come across in this forum and across the internet. So now back to the last question I asked in my original post:

Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?

If there is a program/process accessing the card, I can terminate that process. Any help??

Doug
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrKrusty:
I have solved the problem, by seemingly breaking several "rules."

First, after inserting the microSD card into the onboard reader (nestled into its adapter), I then removed the card without properly ejecting it then reinserted it. Second, I then used WinImage to write the image onto the card using the "Write" command (after choosing the disc under the "Disk" menu and opening the image using "File/Open," I then used "Disk/Write"). Everything seemed to work as it should -- the progress bar incremented up until the files were written 100% and all seems to work fine on the Nook.

Doug
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrKrusty:

I have a few of my users (yes IT manager here) asking if there is a physical keyboard for the s3 that is integrated with a case. They want the equivalent of this:

http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Sliding-Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone/dp/B0054KMWF2/ref=sr_1_3

They all know that any bluetooth or keyboard can work with it, they just wanted an integrated version as they prefer a bulkier s3 vs separate items.
