Had a Kraken for a whopping two days but not impressed at all compared to Griffin Survivor. The outer hard shell is far too slippery and to top it off broke easily when I removed it (wasn't being ham-fisted).

I've got an Otterbox Defender on the way (have always had Otterbox on my previous phones) to see if the silicon shell distorts over a short period of time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
that sucks. you shoudl email trident and see waht they could do. i've had mine since aug, dropped it MANY times. include surviving perhaps a 4meter drop when i was in ibiza lol

i also take it off on a regular basis when i switch out the batt and so far so good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Glad i didnt buy the kraken yesterday then
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Speedin07si:
I've had my kraken for months with no issues, handled 100's of drops from various heights on various surfaces. I'm getting the Griffin survivor just because I like the design better.

I am with you i love the otterboxs.... There customer service is great and will replace your case with no questions asked... As for Trident i had one for my e4gt and had same problem also on replacing your trident case its like trying to get into fort knocks lol... Meaning they need this and that to replace it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gadget069:
I loved the Kraken for the i9100, too many angles on the i9300 plus the buttons are way to sensitive. Driving with my otterbox for now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
Love the kraken on my S3. Not a problem with it. Now, the windshield mount is a different story - broke within a month. Very cheaply made.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
As you have the griffin survivor, can i ask you to post a mini review of it please? I am looking to buy it and some pictures and your opinion would be a big help :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tasteslikechicken:
I had the Otterbox Defender and I was disappointed. I switched to the Case Mate Phantom and couldn't be happy. The OB Defender's quality went way down since I had one on my Atrix 4G.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheNamek:
Aside from it breaking somewhat prematurely, I also found the Kraken far too slippery to handle and its buttons too sensitive. Otterbox has arrived as well as a couple of 4300maH batteries so will be doing the Otterbox chop job!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheNamek:
Just for the record tho, those who have experienced silicon stretch on the Otterbox, what colour case was it? My missus had a pink Defender on her iPhone4 that stretched so I wonder if the non-black rubbers are more prone??

leather hoster

Hey guys quick help i have been looking around and still haven't had any luck. Im looking for a leather holster for the trident kraken case for the gs3.:confused:

im not really a big fan of the phone clips or belt clips, I want the krakken but i need a big enough holster thanks guys :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bluedevils2003:
I havent had any issues with them
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nja4k:
I know it is for a different phone. But I am on my third kraken case for the thunderbolt. First time they asked me to ship it back.

second time they just sent me a new case.

The way the cases attach the tabs were very weak and broke after the first removal.

I do say it protects my phone from drops.

if it just wasn't so fragile.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheNamek:
Day 3 with Otterbox Defender... couldn't stand the cr4p screen protector so ripped it off. Also, done the extended battery case chop. It's a bit of an ugly mod and fit isn't perfect but it's gone 40hrs since last charge!

[HTC One S] LSGio:
Hi im new to htc and bootloader and all this stuff.

when i had galaxy s2 i knew everything about it. (download, recovery)

so here is what i need to know:

1.can i create a NAND backup of a stock rom and restore to it if i have s-on?

2.what doe's ***tampered*** in bootloader mode means?

3.when i flash a custom rom and i extract the boot.img do i have to remove it from the zip file itself?

Thanks for any HELP!!!!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
1. No, if you have S-ON you can't create a NAND backup as you don't have a custom recovery.

2. ***TAMPERED*** means that an app or apps have gone into your /system/ partition, thereby triggering the tampered flag. You can remove this message by running a HTC RUU.

3. No, you first flash the zip file with the boot.img inside, then flash the boot.img in the bootloader. fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One S] LSGio:
1.i do have a custom recovery which i flashed with all in one kit. (i was able to flash it because i unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what s-off means and also supercid)

so can i do a nand backup of a stock rom and restore to it?

and i also wanted to know how to s-off and what are the differences between s-off and supercid?
[HTC One S] beats4x:
Then yes you can make a backup and restore later. Just always full wipe, cache and dalvik cache wipe.

As far as flashing kernels/boot.img, if you are < hboot 1.13 then just flash via recovery. If your hboot is > or = to hboot 1.13tjen flash via fastboot or flash img GUI (available in the play store and in various threads).

And as of right now there is no s-off for the one s.

Sent from a baked One S

If I've helped hit the thanks button

:D
[HTC One S] KACE321:
S-Off means you have full access to all firmware partitions of the phone (I think, correct me if Im wrong). You can unlock the boot loader to gain access to the relevant partitions to flash a custom ROM even with S-ON.

The phone CID just represents the region it is from. For example HTC_TMOUS is for the One S used on the US T-Mobile network. When the phone checks for updates, it only downloads the one's relevant to the CID. SuperCID is 111111111 and represents the "developer" region you can download or run any update on a One S with super CID.
[HTC One S] LSGio:
Is that means that if i have supercid i can run any ruu?

if this is the meaning so how do i supercid my one s?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Yes, you can make nand backups and restore them if you have a custom recovery. You don't need to have s-off for that but you do need to have your bootloader unlocked. Depending on your hboot version, restoring a nand backup will not restore your boot image. (1.09 and below will, 1.13 and up won't.) We do now have the means to downgrade hboot tho.

You get the *tampered* line if your recovery is unsigned. When you use a custom rom, you will most likely also get a red warning text over your boot splash. It's normal.

You have to extract the boot image from the rom zip and flash it in fastboot before you boot the new rom. This may even be before you flash the new rom. You can leave the rom zip unchanged and flash it in recovery.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] LSGio:
if ill do a nand it will back up the boot img but wont restore it because of my hboot version?

Oh and one more thing when i rooted my htc with the supersu zip than after 2 days it asked for mksh premissions and than when i rebootedy phone it was stuck in recovery and then i fixed it with a wipe but how can i prevent this from hapenning and why does it hapenned?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Correct. On old hboots, pretty much everything except sbl and hboot is writable in recovery or even while fully booted. On newer hboots, most is read-only. Boot image can be flashed in fastboot but radio and other stuff can not.

The mksh root request is a known thing. You can search the forums for it to read some opinions. As far as I know not yet properly explained why it happens but harmless. It is not related to getting stuck in recovery, altho I have no idea what caused that for you.
[HTC One S] LSGio:
can you please tell me how can i download an ruu that matches my stock rom. cause when i get to the filefactory server it tells me that i need to buy premium because the file is larger than 500MB.

and the link to the ruu downloads is from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543588

if youll go to the first page and click the (ville S4) link you will see a list of ruu's but i can't download them because the size of them is larger han 500mb and i need premium.

[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
There are a few metrics behind adding a new forum mate. The device needs roughly 1,000 hits in the 'Request a New Forum' thread to be added, unless there is an anticipated high demand, such as for US major carrier releases.

Somewhat unfortunately, this puts International and unsubsidised devices at a disadvantage. My best suggestion would be to search for Tablet S in the 'Android Hacking' forum and, if you don't already turn one up. Start a thread to consolidate all the known information about the Tablet S and associated exploits.

If you don't have the 'popularity' for a forum, that doesn't stop you having an awesome one-stop shop thread! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
Hey guys, running paranoid 2.53 on my Verizon nexus. I have read all the stories before getting the phone that batt life is not great. Agreed. So I wanted to play around as I have never changed kernels before.

One thing I was wondering is what type of kernel is included in this ROM. Another thing is I got the Franco kernel updater. I have been reading for days on xda and such what a kernel does, how, why and such but I haven't found any answers regarding Franco or lean kernel w pa 2.53. Can I just DL and flash right from the app or is there a process to get a new kernel and which do u guys prefer. I want battery life over perf but I don't want a sluggish phone. Is there also a way to backup my stock kernel other than a complete nandroid. Would I backup boot and the system image. Im using twrp 2321

Thanks for any Advice and thoughts
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zetsui:
i like the front of my screen being smooth and frictionless (ie no heavy rubber protector)...is there any good screen protector out there, that's light, doesn't have too much friction (could be as simple as a bubbless peelon) out there for the s3? Also wouldn't take away too much from the 'press' intensity I have to apply to my phone screen.

Usually I wouldn't make athread for such things but there seem to be so many different goods, knockoffs, fake reviews out there I'm unsure what to get

Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear. It comes in a 3-pack for about $15 shipped directly from manufacturer's website. I've tried the cheap one that came with my Ballistic case, a 3M Natural View, and DBA Just Like Glass and this one is better than any of those. It was a little bit "grippy" at first but my finger slid around smoothly after a little while. I also managed the best-looking installation of all the brands I've tried (it's a simple dry installation, which I applied in a steamy bathroom to prevent trapped dust). It's completely invisible with no lifting edges (all the others lifted where the screen curves at the edges). And no, I don't work for them.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jpmcnown:
I'm not a fan of the "step 1 and step 2" multi-pack screen protectors that don't stick well. Ya gotta figure there's a reason they come in 3-packs, because they suck. I see that Zagg makes a "smudge proof" screen protector for the Note 2. I'd really like to see it for the Galaxy S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] paul.p:
Rearth Ringo...Pros: cant tell its on the screen..application was easy with no bubbles and feels smooth as glass. Cons: Doesn't go edge to edge and it does scratch easily.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] banditsw:
I really like should Steinheil ultra clear screen protector. Feels like there is no protector and it is non adhesive. Little pricey but worth it based on trying other less expensive alternatives.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zetsui:
I got the ultra clear nano. First screen protector ever. Looks beautiful

A few tips to newbies applying it. I left mine by a steamy shower. Paranoid and let the dust particles settle. Cleaned it with the micro cloth.

Take the ' 'front' end is at the bottom left of the screen. On the top make sure the camera isn't covered (it shouldn't matter much if it were, in my opinoin)...peel the back end half way off (MOST IMPORTANT POINT...it is a very light screen protector that will fall back on its sticky self if you don't) and apply from the bottom (or front end part of your phone) and slowly peel back your way up.

Iron out the bubbles with the rubber thingy

Peel off front. Most bubbles should be out anyways.

The peelback should be a very smooth uniform motion.You also do NOT want any part of the plastic to fold on top of itself. It gives the appearance of a scratch on the screen.

This baby is so smooth and exactly what I wanted, but I could see why a lot of people complained about wasting one while trying to learn to apply it. Its like nothing was applied to it. No friction ,especially with sweaty hands and you can easily forget its on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babydo:
If it's not too much trouble, would you update the thread/pm me when you see scratches + your opinion about how scratch resistant the protector is? There seems to be mixed thoughts of how easily it is to scratch it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zetsui:
I will be remember what i said on application and how it is so thin it folds on it laelf and can give tje impression of a scratch. Initial application has to be very smooth. Other than that its great if youbwere sitting wjith me you wouldnt notice a screen protector on. I honestly don't see it scratching though. That and it has the right amount of friction. The sweat on your hands actually lubricates your finger across the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:

I read the reviews on the Tippin screen protector, but none made any comments about the feel of the protector.

When you slide your finger over the screen does the Tippin have a smooth feel like the s3's gorilla glass, or does it have more friction?

My MZ607-32 is stuck in a bootloop. (Xyboard 8.2, Wifi-only, 32 GB, USA model)

I had been running the leaked ICS ROM from July. I was trying to flash it back to stock Honeycomb so I could get the OTA version of ICS.

I downloaded the retail fastboot for Honeycomb (RETAIL_MZ607_1.6.0_278_1FF.xml.zip) from here:

(droiddevelopers) (.com) (/downloads.php?do=file&id=1456) (I'm a newbie; not allowed to post links...)

The md5sum was good.

Then I enabled dev mode, powered off, and powered on with +/- volume held down.

I picked "AP Fastboot", plugged in the USB, ran RSDLite 6.00, and tried to flash the file.

It seemed to go OK, but at the end it just gives the (M) logo with the heartbeat over and over, once in a while giving the (M) logo with "Dual Core" underneath.

I tried to flash it a few more times - always with the same result. After about 5 minutes of trying to boot, my PC goes beep and I get the "MotoCast" setup folder appearing on the PC (via the USB). But that's all.

I'm stuck - what do I do now?

[Note: I'm not allowed to post links, but a version with pictures is on my blog site: (nerdfever)(.com/files/xyboard/); see the README.

Summary:

1 - Hold Vol+/Vol-, then hold Pwr till it gets to Boot Recovery menu.

2 - Choose "Recovery"

3 - Wait for android with ! sign.

4 - Press Vol+/Vol- at same time to get into Recovery menu

5 - Choose "Wipe data/factory reset".

6 - Let it do the wipe, then choose "Reboot now".

That's it.
