Read about your misfortune. That sucks. I've looked into doing the same thing, and here's what I think your choices are:

1. Replace just the digitizer and screen. Not sure if your LCD is intact, but if it's undamaged, I think you can do this. (they have red too, i linked a blue one because I'm lazy)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pebble-Blue...857?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1f4e0a91

With this though, you will have to go through this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eneLvVe7DwE

Which quite frankly looks like a nightmare

2. Replace the screen, digitizer, and housing all at the same time. This is for the i9300, but I think all the hardware is the same and you can just transfer the circuit boards over and connect all the cables. ** I really don't know if it works like that between the two models however **

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251166200776?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

With that said, do you have a phone to hold you over??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
Yeah, I was looking at these two videos:

Full Breakdown

Frame Replacement

and I was thinking to myself...hmmm, I can do that...until about 14 minutes into the frame replacement video in which he DESTROYS the LCD/Digitizer. I don't know for 100% certainty that the digitizer is bad yet, and I don't want to destroy it. Sucks, because I'd really like to do a fully overhaul and just convert it to red.

I guess I'll just go with the $20 blue screen replacement for now and see how that goes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
Cool. Let me know how it goes. Also, do you have a phone to use until then?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
Going to have to pull out the old Nexus One, get a working ROM on it and use it for now. Glad I decided to keep it after retirement lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] know50:
I just did a quick Google search and it appears that on amazon they sale one digitizer for all of the gs3 variants even the Korean one
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alex1089:
I've dealt with a lot of iPhone OEM parts from random Amazon/eBay sellers, and judging from the quality of those I would strongly recommend you not mess with these.

The fitment on 95% of parts from China is horrible plus some! I can't say anything about the S3 parts that you have posted but my guess is they come from similar factories.

If you really want a red phone, I would research if a T999 motherboard would fit in an ATT red S3 and just switch them out.

Note to Mods: If this is in the wrong section, I truly am sorry, I just don't know where else this can go.

A note to peasants like me: LEAVE ALL YOUR BIAS BEHIND. Please make good argumentative points, don't just baselesly bash everyone who doesn't think like you. Also, don't just say "uhuh that sukz jst bcuz wow l00zer n00b ur mum" to back up your points.

Thanks.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, on to the elephant in the room:

I'm considering buying an unlocked phone to use for Tmo or Att prepaid plans here in the US. I'm seriously considering the iPhone 5, and the Nexus 4, or a considerably similar phone.

I want you(the community) to help me decide by making some points and just helping me out. This is a big decision and I trust you guys at XDA will help me make the correct decision.

Reasons why I'm considering the iPhone 5:

-Apps developed here almost always before Android, and usually run better on iOS than on Android (Temple Run, Instagram, etc.)

-Some apps exclusive to iOS, like Quizlet (This is a HUGE point, being that my main "studdy buddy" is Quizlet since StudyBlue has a garbage Android app.) (Also, in apps like Flipboard, certain channels blocked to

-iMessage: a lot, and I mean A LOT of my buddies own iPhones, I miss out on a lot of iMessage stuff. :(

-System-wide

color

Emoji support (this is the stupidest reason, this shouldn't even be a reason, but whatever)

-Better and much broader range of cases available(LifeProof is a huge bonus, as is Otterbox, etc.)

-Screen looks really nice (even though it's somewhat of a downgrade)

-Notification Center for the lock screen is GREAT imho.

-Find my iPhone and other services already baked in, rather than a standalone app

-Solid construction

Reasons why I'm considering the Nexus 4/Comparable devices

-Google Now

-Ability to make programs default programs, unlike iOS

-Customization

-Swappable keyboards

-Google Maps

-Already have a considerable amount of money (~$15) bought in Play Store stuff that I'd have to rebuy on App Store, plus the money in my Play Store account from credit for buying a Nexus 7 (~$20 left)

If I went the iPhone way, I'd make a complete switch, which means get rid of my N7, which I currently use for college, and replace it with an iPad, which I've heard is better for college.

So, XDA, can you help me make an educated and very expensive decision? Thanks. I'll be monitoring this thread
[General Questions and Answers] nyamoV2:
contract or locked for the iphone? personally i'd go with a nexus for the fact that it's unlocked at a great price, albeit not as great as a contracted phone. also depends if you love to flash or leave it out of the box? iphone only wins for ditching the glass on glass concept
[General Questions and Answers] F3L1XZS:
Both would be unlocked. I like flashing new ROMs, but I'll usually wait until they're relatively stable or at least until basic necessities begin to work.

For the iphone: it works, good battery life, the newer versions of siri are pretty much tied with google now (whereas the older version was easily beat by google now), and most importantly, it works! (did I mention it works yet? well, it works). Apps tend to run better, and it just feels smoother. I hate to give it to apple, but I have never found an android phone with hardware as nicely done as on an iphone. The con is that it's extremely limited, and I don't like the UI.

nexus 4: just look through the XDA development forums. Then look back at that iphone...need I say more? :good:

added to that, I prefer the UI and the greater amount of customization. Also more great apps are free for android than on Iphone (or at least the ones I tend to use). Overall I feel that an android can do more easier than iphone can, provided you set things up right. I'm mostly looking at the homescreen, but also the settings menu, etc.

So obviously I'm biased towards an android, but I think an iphone has plenty of advantages as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Well, I'm sure you'll be told to go to the device recommendation thread - but I might as well post since I have nothing better to do and it's not locked yet.

I've had Apple devices before and have nothing against them. I bought a MacBook a few years back because it was the best choice for me at the time. I've since gotten rid of the "laptop" part of my device collection and use Linux and an Android tablet + phone. I considered the iPhone when I was shopping.

Personally, I do not like where the iPhone is at right now, that's one of the reasons I didn't go with it. I think Apple really needs to "re-think" iOS and do something perhaps like Samsung has with "Simple" and "Basic" modes for the UI - so that they can get to creating something more than a glorified App Drawer. It's an eyesore to me, and though I appreciate that it's familiar to many people, I don't think it's even the easiest configuration to use for new tech users.

I don't really know why an iPad would be better for "college" - I'm going to college right now and have seen people use both Apple and Android tablets. I think the Transformer series from ASUS is the most "college friendly" type of tablet, but I guess it depends on what you're trying to do with it.

If you can't tell, I love learning and playing around with the stuff I have. Android is a better playground for this than iOS which doesn't exactly encourage it. They like to cultivate their system to a high level, but I prefer being able to experiment even if it's possible the outcome will suck.

It really depends on what's important to YOU. I ended up choosing the SIII because I wanted a removable battery and micro SD card and Apple just didn't offer this no matter what. That's what I wanted and what was the "deal maker" for me. I also like that there's so much customisation without having to void the warranty. I can make this the phone I want - the UI is very important for me and while I don't mind OSX (although Ubuntu has done for the general OS look what OSX really ought to do) on a computer, I'm really not a fan of iOS - I feel like Apple's technology and ideas are great, but their software and design aesthetic are lagging - like if Windows 8 hadn't moved on and instead decided to keep the Win98 look so people would be "more comfortable". Because I wanted the removable battery + SD card, that would rule out the N4 for me, too. Personally, I'd still go for the SIII or wait for the IV.

I'm on T-Mobile, I switched from Sprint. I love the service, though I've heard it's not so great on an iPhone. I'd consider the plans and your area and what kind of service there is, too. I have 4G towers all over the city where my school is and get very fast speeds all over campus. But T-Mobile isn't everywhere and I think there are speed issues with the iPhone although if they're getting one, maybe they're changing things ? I don't know, since I'm not in the market for a new phone I haven't looked into this.
[General Questions and Answers] shalabhbatra100:
i would never suggest to go for a iphone for a simple reason of the difficulty in sharing media over bluetooth. I share a lot of stuff with my friends over bluetooth specially music which is not possible on iphone. i am unsure if the lates iphone 5 has these limitations removed or not. Maybe you could share via whatsapp or other messenger but there are times when there is no network coverage and you want to share stuff and thats when you need bluetooth.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpenguino:
I too have been wondering this for awhile now. I believe it has something to do with downloading emoji in keyboard languages and it overwrites the iPhone like emoji with the android rendition. I do not know a fix though. I know you can use other messaging apps like handcent and gosms but i prefer the stock messaging app over third party alternatives. Looking forward to the answer. :confused:

I'm wanting to try the new jellybean keyboard from the Note 2 on my S3 and would appreciate if someone would upload the apk for me. After trying the demo out and seeing the number keys locked @ the top, I wanted to try it on my phone but didn't want to download the entire ROM, just to try it. If someone would upload it, I would appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
the rom is in a tar format so i cant extract it. well i dont know how. if you know or can find out what files you need, i can pull them out of the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlangleyrn:
Thanks, I have the tar downloaded but don't know how to extract it either. Root explorer wont do it. I believe its just the samsungIME.apk, but I'm unsure if there's another that goes with it or not. If you can pull that from your phone, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the help.

here is the apk but not sure if any other files are needed ether. let me know if it works.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33845899/SamsungIME.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlangleyrn:
Thanks for the help. I downloaded it but it will not install, there may be a lib file that goes with it, to allow it to install or just be incompatible. I'll have to do some research. Thank you for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
i just remembered that that apk was from beans rom and its deodexed. it wont work on a odexed rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlangleyrn:
I figured that out, after opening the apk. I did download the deodexed version from one of the ROM developers and it installs, but force closes instantly. The files are different, in a few aspects but I'm working on some lib files now. Hopefully that will work...........

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Y.G.:
Anyone else experience this? I've been noticing that my % will drop about every minute when using the stock browser, Chrome or Firefox. The battery also gets super hot when Firefox runs. It almost seems like both cores are online when they don't need to be.

Is there a way to get better cpu utilization and battery life while using a browser?

Edit: I've noticed this drain on stock (rooted) and FreeGS3

Does anyone have an idea where I can get the MHL hdmi adapter for my gt8013?

Thanks

and any word on a multimedia dock?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] damonsmith666:
Bump - I want one too but don't want to pay £30!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Elemetrix:
Likewise i've just seen the price of the adapter, what on earth!? There's no way i'm paying that I assumed it was much the same deal as MHL to microusb and fairly low cost.

Is there really not a non-Samsung version that is significantly cheaper? or maybe a DIY method!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] SSThing:
As far as I can tell (from buying cables that were unsuitable) the only cable that will work to connect your Note to your tv is the HDTV adapter

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGXAR

or similar for your country. PCWorld in the UK sell them for £12.99 (epl-3phpbeg) if you can find stock or a salesperson who actually knows what you are asking for. I found mine in the tv section with all the Smart tv accessories.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Elemetrix:
That PC World price must be for the wrong item but searching for that code has brought up a handful of retailers selling it for near £22. Still too much imo when it's clearly not too different from the countless <£5 microusb versions!

Maybe i'll come across a used one some day.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] SSThing:
I have one sat on my desk next to me. The ticket price on the display is £19.99 but when I got to the checkout it was £12.99:D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] apristel:
Thanks everyone. I've ordered one ... too expensive but I guess thats how it is sometimes.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] damonsmith666:
does anyone have a link to the pcworld 12.99 version?? cheers
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] SSThing:
They aren't on the website. Best to call a store. Or visit. Found mine in the Samsung Smart tv accessories section, nowhere near the computer department.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] akxak:
I have that adapter and just bought the (more expensive) Allshare Cast Dongle.

With the adapter one should keep in mind that a (more or less) long HDMI cable is necessary to connect the adapter to the TV/beamer/monitor.

The Dongle works wireless and can be just put beside the display device.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] apristel:
the place where i ordered the MHL adapter canceled my order, go figure.

So I bought the OG samsung tab dock, dremeled off the sides a bit and it fits perfect. I don't have the right hdmi cable to test that part out, but so far it works fine (charging, sync, and audio through the headphone jack on the dock.)

Was only 10 on craigslist.

win.

No the cache was a possible solution to random reboots in the ROM. As far as twrp goes, I get the reboot issue when trying to fix permissions after flashing (same session). However I don't seem to get it every time.

No need for apologies. I don't know what's goin gon with this issue. I'm afraid of upgrading to TWRP 2.4 to see if it solves the issue.... but then I think maybe I could just backup my ROM and Recovery and then flash it. If it acts up then I can restore 2.3
