This is exactly why regular customers like me who are looking to upgrade have to pay up front and then do mail in rebates, or even pay deposits...because they have to be cautious of people like you trying to cheat the system...just buy on on craigslist or something or why not just rob some random stranger since that is exactly the same thing...why not they have insurance right?.....jeez posts like this should probably be banned like cracked app threads are.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Dude. Look at the post above yours. He clearly stated he wasnt tryong to cheat the system. He already got his dad the phone legit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
I read that, I was just pointing out the wrongness of it. I'm not trying to defend the carriers but this is supposedly why they pull that sorta stuff and it is easy enough to believe when I see posts like this. Anyways no getting around it really, you can probably find a way to cheat the system but you get burned too. Plus don't they block the IMEI?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phositadc:
Maybe I misunderstood the OP, but if he was asking if he could start a contract, wait 14 days, cancel it, pay the ETF, and keep the phone, I don't see the problem. That's exactly the point of the ETF... so long as he pays it he hasn't done anything wrong as far as I can tell?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
Yes it will work. You have to wait til the return grace period is over before you cancel the contract. It's 14 or 30 days depends on where you live and where you get the phone from. Avoid getting phones with mail in rebates.

As long as you pay the ETF you are fulfilling your part of the contract

Case is officially out

http://store.griffintechnology.com/...rvivor-with-belt-clip-for-samsung-galaxy-siii

Figure I'd update my OP:

Ok sooo lets start with my review of the Griffin Survivor for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Well if you order directly from griffin you get this nice clearly labeled box.

Inside that box you have the box with the case in it.

(notice the Griffin in the lower left corner, knock offs won't have this)

I got a catalog with stuff for christmas gifts, a little warranty card and instructions on how to put your phone in the case.

Case has 4 pieces: Hard piece you phone sits in, Thick rubber peice goes around the back part, and the top part with the Screen Protector also the Belt Clip.

Once you get the phone in this is what it it looks like.

Hitting the menu and back button takes some getting use to but it's easy enough. The home button is very responsive same with the power and volume rockers. The screen protector feels good, not plastic like the otterbox defender. All sensors and front camera work perfectly as well as the LED light.

Back of the phone feels very secure and easy to grip.

The little flap spins out of the way and doesn't effect picture quality for me. Also the speaker is covered by a membrane of some type.

Headphone jack is easily accessible.there is also a hole for the noise cancellation up there.

I have tested both the straight headphones and a 90 degree angle tip and both fit ( not flush but enough to play music without any problems).

.

Plenty of room for your chargers and the microphone port is there at well.

Since the belt clip can be face in or face out it doubles as a very useful kick stand. And rotates 90 degrees.

Ok done with the pictures. All in all this feels like a great case for protection. It does add a bit of bulk but it's a small trade off for Military grade protecting.

Any random questions feel free to ask me.

The GS3 does get hot when it's working hard. That's why people are suggesting a list of what apps show up on your battery list. How is your battery life? If you provide a screengrab of the battery screen that shows the apps and the activity it could give the folks here some information. It's most likely an app that keeps the phone awake and running at full power.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.T.J0hnnie:
Hello guys,this is my first post here so don't be tough with me:)

First of all some info:

Model:Galaxy SIII GT-I9300

ROM: Android Revolution HD 15.2

Kernel: Perseus 26.1

CWM: 6.0.1.2

I recently updated normally into ARHD 15.2 and everything was normal.But after I booted up into recovery mode I noticed that those lines were on the screen:

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I searched and read many threads in order to find the best and the most suitable solution but I couldn't find anything helpful.The main problem in almost every thread was that the phone had a bootloop.Fortunately, I don't have that problem.My phone boots normally.I also tried to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache in order to find any more errors but nothing appeared and my phone booted normally updating android apps.I found the thread below but I don't know if I have to do all this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10878511&postcount=8311

So any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi

I'm facing the same issue: Can't open /cache/recovery...

I already tried flashing CWM Recovery(lastest version) using Heimdall(1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.4RC1) and didn't work.

When using the CMW that I aready have installed, if I try to install a CM10.1 it show me up as installed, but when booting I got the previous ROM screen and freeze screen of death. :cowboy:

Ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
On the cache problem, try the solution that worked for the OP, unmount the SD card and boot again.

On the ROM issue do a full wipe and flash a stock ROM via ODIN to get you back to a good starting point.

As with every situation, backup your efs partition first.

i did saw some gameplay and reveiws of new games

i did order the new x+ ver and not the nx4

its on shipping right now...

i realy hope i did no worng to get the htc x+ insted of the nx4

my most reason of theis pruches was to play games with good fps and new games...

i have iphone 4s before that

what do u say guys? the hox+ will make the job in games?

or better to refound it and get then nx4 for gaming?

camera and storge ect dosnt realy the things im looking for in my phone... only the games for my free time in work,,,,
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
If you want to play games android it's not for you, hox+ is just an slightly oc hox so you will still get great graphic/ performance with thd but all other games or not optimized and they tend to have mediocre if not bad fps, nexus 4 will be a much better choise even if it hasn't got thd games. Id suggest you an iPhone 5 if the only thing you need is gaming.

[HTC One X] high_voltage:
If you root your phone(but with that you will lose your warranty) and go for custom rom/kernel.. then yes, the phone will be good for gaming as it have some really good thd games+the other not so optimized games will run fine(tho some of them will required modding, etc... :/). The problem is not the raw power of the tegra chip, the problem is that the devs aren't otimizing their games for it.
[HTC One X] ShadowSide:
if i will root and phone and get new rom what is the diffrent?? rom can improve the original OS fps in games? Oo how.? (im new with androids)

and my other question is ...

let say i get in need for speed most wanted (for normal andrid) 15-23 fps in HOX

how much i will get +- with the hox+ 17-25 fps ? 20-28 fps?

and with tegra support game that getting 30-35fps on HOX

how much fps i will get with the HOX +

just want to know how much its realy improve the proff on games....
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
The gain will be around 6fps, trust me if you don't mod 90% of the games will lag cause our governor doesn't call the quad often, and right know tegra is on his limit and won't handle the next gen games.
[HTC One X] ShadowSide:
means that if i want better experiens in feuterd games better to go with the nx4?

cuz if its the case i better start to sell my hox+ before the deliver comes to me
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
Probably yes on mostly of the games but don't expect too much even if the nexus 4 gpu is 2/3 times better then the hox one games still lacks optimization compared to ios.

I want to increase the friction on my galaxy note 2 screen.

What has your experience with glare resistant screen protectors?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bigbrooder:
They screw up the Image and overall vision of the display, especially on white background. I guess this is due to their light reflection capabilities

But the one I used was really increasing the friction. However it is much better without the protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
I actually am using one right now. It helps out a lot with the glare, but it gives the screen an oily look to it on a white screen. I'm moving to an invisible shield today.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scitech09:
I am using a matte / glare resistant screen protector and I personally think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Yes, it will cause some graininess to the screen, so that the whites are not as clear. However, the reduction in fingerprints and glare is drastic. One of the advantages that I like the most is that it allows your fingers to glide quite smoothly across the screen. Unlike glass or clear screen protectors, your fingers won't stick to the screen. People who use matte screen protectors swear by them. Buy a cheap one and try it out. If you give it time, it will grow on you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
Not only grainy, it takes away some of the color saturation as well. I used mine for 3 weeks and decided to pull the plug last night.

+1... everyone has their own experiences and I personally am enjoying mine. Does the screen look a little different; yes. Is it THAT bad; to me no.

I will say that fingerprint smudges & glare have reduced dramatically for me. I bought a pack of 3 for $6 so it wasn't breaking the bank to try them out.

Hello,

i've just rooted my samsung galaxy gio because i want to save my apps on my sd card. I tried 2 install A2SD darktremor on my stock rom, but that doesnt really work.

I prepared my sd card like you should for it, unzipped the Darktremor files in it, but i dont get into my mount menu. I have the android 2.3.6 version. So what orders do i have to use in terminal emulator to get into my Mount menu where i can install A2SD darktremor?

Or another program that works is also just fine.

Or is there somewhere a custom rom that looks like the original where A2SD darktremor or something like it is allready in it?

many thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] PatroSK:
Move apps withour A2SD

There is also way to move system apps to SD with ROM Toolbox from JRummy:

- backup system apps (like Gmail, E-mail, Internet browser, Google Maps, YouTube, Google search, some stock widgets...)

- uninstall them

- restore them and they will become user apps (not system apps) - so you can uninstall or move to SD with Settings / Applications / Manage Applications

- but they will also occupy some place in system memory (maybe app settings, header, informations about installation... - I dont know)

Please dont try this with Google Play (Market):

- I had problem after restoring it from backup - it came unstable (often crashes on connecting to network and loading Google Play mainscreen)

- I had to convert this app from user to system app (also with ROM Toolbox)

Take out your sd card and put it in a card reader.dnt mount phone itself.now use a a software called easyus partition wizard to make a second partition.make both of them primary and make the 2nd partition ext2 format.

Now install link2sd on your phone mem.set superuser permission fr it.

Put ur sd card in phone and start link2sd.mount ext2.

In case it is still nt wrkng look into howuch sytm storage u hv left.if its less try uninstalling sm useless systm apps..yahoo finance may be..then try mounting again..

For some reason when i connect the phone the the computer, it wont show up MTP.. but for PTP it works.. When its connected the small window pops up alerting me the "nexus 4" was connected but thats it, the drive wont show up.

the usb drivers folder.. it still installs them right back when I connect the usb!
