If you are just looking to protect against scratches, the OEM Samsung cases are the best I have found. Obviously don't provide protection from drops, but ultra thin and add some grip to the phone. I picked up the white two-pack from Expansys. If you have the 50% off from Samsung accessories you can pick up the white/blue pack for $10 plus shipping and tax.

DBA Cases Ultra. Small company with an excellent product. Numerous color combinations available. They can be found on Amazon or their website. There is also a review here on XDA

I just picked up the incipio feather

Great case much better than my otter box.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cloudyphiz:
DBA thin grip is the best case I've come across and it has huge cutouts for the buttons. Definitely worth checking out.

Rock quicksand series cover, it's a great case and has a nice grip to it!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] android_4life:
I agree! I use only Ballistic, I tried 4 other cases including OB and the buttons are way to stiff for my own liking. Ballistic with a Zagg HD I highly recommend.

Yes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safariking:
Okay this is simple:

Boot into Recovery (CWM) (Normal recovery is also ok!)

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partion

- Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache (You don't have this option in stock recovery but it is not realy neccesery so don't mind!)

Reboot and the Galaxy S3 should be come back alive!

[Nokia Lumia 920] Poecifer:
So, just got my wireless charger in, I set it on the charger, the white light indicator comes on, no charging indicator on the phone. I have tap+send enabled, any other suggestions?
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
When you drop it on the charger it should make the happy "I found power" sound (if volume is on) and light up ONCE. That's it. The charger light will go out eventually when the 920 is full.

This is by design. Don't worry about it. It's working.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Poecifer:
No happy charging sound, it actually seems to drain my battery, the phone doesn't seem to register the charger but the charger recognizes the phone. Also the battery indicator shows nothing.
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
That's not good. Either the charger or the phone's broken. There isn't any user settings on the phone to enable/disable wireless charging. Do you have access to another Qi charger to try?

I assume USB charging works. The phone should behave exactly the same as when you plug it into AC via USB.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Poecifer:
it does, I don't, however have access to another charging device. The NFC works on the phone and the charger registers it but they don't sync up.
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
NFC isn't used for wireless charging at all. I think its time to get that thing exchanged.
[Nokia Lumia 920] cgdams:
It sounds like you have the Nokia DT-910 Wireless Charger. If so, i had a similar Problem at first. NFC inside the DT-910 was recognised, but it wouldn't charge. Fortunately, i do have two other wireless chargers here (Nokia DT-901 Fatboy Pillow and Phillips DLP7250P), both of them working with my 920.

So i checked the Power Connector on the DT-910 and found it wasn't fully plugged in. I pushed a Little more 'til i heard a click from the connector, and my 920 gave a happy pling and started loading.

Obviously, NFC doesn't need power to work.

[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
I'm having the same problem with my 920 and the LG WCP700 charger; the charger beeps and indicates that wireless charging is in progress, but the phone registers nothing.

I was thinking I would try a hard reset before contacting Nokia support, but that's a pain and I'm not convinced it'll make any difference at all.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Poecifer:
I'll be the test dummy and let you know.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
The WCP700 is not listed as being a QI charger.

You can't just use any old wireless charging mat, it has to be marked as being a QI charger.

Doh, just found that it is QI. But even when they say it conforms to a standard, sometimes they don't or there are side-effects. My Maxell QI charger gets warm and heats up the phone when the Nokia one's dont.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ramrandhawa:
Yeah, that was my thought at first . . . but others have posted that they have had success using the WCP700 with the 920. I'm guessing that the problem now is with the phone; either there's something installed on it that's causing a problem, or the inductive charging hardware is defective.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Well after ordering on the 13th during the first 15 minutes and being a Limbo Level 3 got my Nexus 4 and this happens

On hold for the last 30 minutes :(

Edit

There are two issues, one is the buzzing when not on call and the other is the borked up earpiece (maybe less than mine).

I didn't have the buzzing when there were no calls being made but I think the issue I have is an extension of the buzzing issue and is in all probability a manufacturing defect.

They make such an awesome device with bad hardware, Google would be crying

the old device directly goes to LG USA as I can see from my RMA return label so my personal advice to all those who have issue while in call please RMA the device.

Update

Google will be sending a replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] nm3th:
That sucks. Does it happen on all volumes or just max?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
all the time..fml
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Just got off the call with a CSR after 45 minutes of waiting ..they will be sending a replacement but another charge of 349 on my credit card until I return the Old one :(
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
That sucks munchy. I'm glad I got a good one. I hope you get everything straightened out.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Yeah I hate the way they do rma's at Google. Why not just charge you if you don't return the old one in a certain amount of time like most other companies? Is it your fault you got a bad one? No!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Thanks Ryan, lets hope I get a new one which is fine soon, I am happy that the one that I sent to John aka VT is good, the moment I found the f**king issue in my phone I emailed him to check his and his is fine, as I ordered 2 and assuming they both were from the same manufacturing lot I guess it's a bug in LG's assemble line
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Good luck. Mine makes a very slight nose from the earpiece speaker. It kinda sounds like the soc doing it's thing. I imagine it's fairly normal. I don't have any sounds like you. I feel bad for you because we waited so long and now you got a dud. The one good thing about Google's method of RMA is you can use the old one as much as you like before getting the new. What I don't understand is they have our cc info on file and they still insist on holding the funds. You won't have to pay tax or shipping again though. I had to go through it twice with my nexus 7 so I know how bad it was.

At the same time I do understand why they do it because people could just file an RMA and take off with both devices by removing the card from wallet.

Anyway, I'm sure everything will work out for you. You are good people and I look up to your kindness bro.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Thanks again Ryan, you know how we roll ..bad things do happen to good people I guess ;)

[Nexus 4 General] blaboy51:
I have the same thing wrong with my nexus 4 and I do not have the funds ($388) in my account at the time, does anyone know if they will still allow me to do the exchange for a new device?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
I don't think so , if you can add a new card/account maybe you can as they send you a link wherein you already have the n4 already in cart and you click on purchase
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
They only charge 349 for a 16 GB ; no taxes and shipping ; its just an auth on your card
[Nexus 4 General] FallN:
Holy crap, that gave me a migraine. :eek:

I have heard and I don't know if its true but I remember hearing that you can send in your faulty device then when they receive it they will send you a new one. I'd look into that cause that s just not OK to hold you at bay because you don't have additional funds for there f*ck up.

[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
This phone should be recalled and we should all get new revised hardware with no issues and usb otg working. Fking ridiculous. I doubt my replacement will be any better and that's why i'm keeping the first phone until replacement arrives.
[Nexus 4 General] lithdoc:
i've got same problem, although mine is not as severe. Most interesting part is that when I use google talk or skype, this problem does not exist, and it seems to come up only when making regular phone calls!

[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
So sad bro :( Mine is coming in a few days, I hope it doesn't have such problems. But one thing I don't understand is that why none of the reviewer got such issues? No matter how many reviews I watch, no one mentions such problem.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Good for you bro ..
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
shows that LG does have some production issues ..let's hope they are working on it but there ain't no Official response from Google or LG on the issues yet
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:

[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
yeps me too , ordered two ..one (sent to a xda friend) is good , mine is borked
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
yeah ..even I hope so ....
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
Just yesterday i posted how my earpiece buzzes when the screen is on and when it's off buzzing stops. Today i get buzz even when the screen is off and when it's on buzzing is louder. First two days without a sim card but with GroveIP i had no buzzing and was generally happy with the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
I personally believe review unites were not made using an assembly lines , that's why the they had no issues
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
it could be that the Wireless antenna is causing issue ..maybe some insulation issues ...
[Nexus 4 General] kancherlapraneeth:
oops.. loud speaker issues.. How was the screen munchy?? Is it showing more yellowish colors??

let's hope the replacement you get have no issues.

[Nexus 4 General] kingnaldo28:
Me neither, we need to work hard to make $387 that was the cost with tax and shipping, the problem is not normal because my wife's phone is perfect, i call today and will rma, keep us inform munchy
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
they'll send you a link to your email wherein the nexus 4 will already be in your cart, you click the link and it will be ordered (no taxes and shipping), you will get a confirmation email and another wallet transaction of 349 and a auth of 349 on your card

they will also send you a UPS prepaid shipping label as well in a separate email.

if you notice the shipping label you will see it's going directly to LG and yes they will also ask you the last 4 of the IMEI ...

I did the ordering part yesterday and lets see when they ship it and when does the replacement arrive ...
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I do not normally have any buzzing or anything like that but on a call yesterday I did get some. I freaked out a bit until I realized it was coming from the other party on the line.

Is there any chance that some of this call buzzing could be from interference or from the connection? Maybe even the person you are talking too?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
well I was talking to Google support..does not happen with my friend's Gnex :)

also I called him atleast 10 times same issue
[Nexus 4 General] Endoran:
I have the ear speaker problem. It's slightly annoying but I can live with it as long as it doesn't get worse. My question, if it does get worse in the future can I get a replacement down the road? I'd rather not risk getting a new phone now since everything else is perfect, and this issue IMO is not as bad as most.

[Nexus 4 General] expl0it4:
I have the exact same issue with the earpiece speaker. Any volume above about 30% and it sounds blown.
[Nexus 4 General] jk83jk:
I just got an RMA due to the aforementioned persistent buzzing in the ear speaker. The csr said it's "free of charge" as long as I return within 21 days of receiving the replacement. They are saying the replacement will arrive within 5 business days. I didn't think the buzzing was a huge annoyance but its still unacceptable and may bother me in the future. They confirmed that the 15 day return period refreshes of course once the replacement arrives in case something else is wrong.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
do you have buzzing or bad sound quality ??
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
RMA it dude ...
[Nexus 4 General] Endoran:
Buzzing. Which does interfere with the sound quality.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
I guess get the RMA ...what if it goes bad after a few months ...
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
I have something similar. But it's only when I crank the volume up to 100%....the ear-piece cracks on certain tones. There is no buzzing whatsoever....so it's just a cheap speaker module (this would be my guess).

Like, really cheap speaker module.

Doesn't bother me....but if it gets worse over time, can they do the advance replacement thingy?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
I am just hoping that parts come out on ebay soon and maybe we can try to put in the optimus G speaker as I believe that does not have this buzzing and borking.

LG must have used cheap parts on the N4 to keep the price low....
[Nexus 4 General] chandeliho:
I had the buzzing in earpiece during calls issue, sounded like some kind of horrible resonance. RMA'ed the phone, the replacement sounds terrific. I suggest RMA'ing any defective device (repeatedly if necessary) until you get one that doesn't sound like crap. The volume of RMAs will make them take notice, and hit their bottom line. Otherwise they'll keep up the crappy quality control if there are no consequences for them.
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
just noticed on a call my ear piece was buzzing like crazy. ooooh boy
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
only if RMA's arrive on time...Dec 1 RMA request, yet to ship :(
[Nexus 4 General] HellBunny:
Same here. No shipment after more than a week after the RMA request and ordering the replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
oh Boy ....Google is now s**king at anything they are doing
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
I called to do an RMA as well....and they never even sent the email despite my telling them that I had to do it yesterday in order to get the replacement in time as I wont be around to pick it up for several weeks soon.

Lo and behold, no email despite them processing everything. Lol.

Ill bear with the low quality speaker for now.

Hello xda'ers,

I post this thread to help people who want MultiWindow mode in their I9100...

How to:

1. Decompile SecSettings.apk and go to smali/com/android/settings/DisplaySettings.smali

iget-object v13, p0, Lcom/android/settings/DisplaySettings;->mMultiWindowPref:Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;

invoke-virtual {v12, v13}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z

And just delete these lines

- Recompile SecSettings.apk

2. Decompile android.policy.jar and go to smali/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.smali

FIND:

iget-boolean v8, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager;->WACOM_POLICY_FOLLOW_APPLICATION_ROTATION:Z

if-nez v8, :cond_1

And just delete these lines

2.1 add folder "multiwindow"(Download the attached file: multiwindow.rar) to android.policy/smali/com/android/internal/policy/impl/

- Recompile android.policy.jar

3. Decompile service.jar and go to smali/com/android/server/am/

- Copy files from the attached file: services.jar

and put them in a folder with the replacement smali/com/android/server/am/
