View attachment 1628614So I finally got a tpu case for my s3. And now I'm in the market for a new screen protector. I've searched around the forum, and the consensus is that screen protectors that cover the entire front of the phone (e.g. realook 3d forming and spigen curved crystal) will eventually just start getting pushed up at the edges by the tight tpu case. However, looking at my cheapo ebay case, the edges of the case only just barely cover the chrome edges of the phone, no more. I'm wondering if anyone has experience trying out a full coverage screen protector along with a tpu case. Is it feasible? Here's a link to the case I'm using:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-S-Curve-Soft-Gel-Back-Case-TPU-Cover-for-SAMSUNG-Galaxy-S3-III-L710-/130746295599?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e7116252f
[Galaxy S III Accessories] May82:
I've tried a few full screen protectors with my diztronics tpu case and they all bubbled up at the edges. I finally went with the dba just like glass protector because I hated the edges being raised and it works perfect with the case. It's also very clear and smooth. I would recommend it over everything I've tried so far (cheap protector that came with the case, skinomi tech skin and zagg invisible shield). You won't regret it, great protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I believe all full screen protectors will cause issues with slim tpu cases because they dont overlap the protector. My xtremeguard lifts with my zoogue case.. but not with my uag nor seidio surface or any other bigger case

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jottle:
well I guess that settles it. Now I just need to find one that's compatible with tpu cases and has some decent coverage over the edges of the screen (but not just the screen itself). I had a realook crystal on my old mytouch 4g, and that one covered almost the entire face of the phone. I would just get another realook crystal clear, but the one for the s3 just only barely covers the screen and almost none of the rest of the face of the phone. It looks cheesy. Thinking about trying spigen crystal. The nano seems to dent/scratch too easily. I just want a protector that would work well with a tpu case and provide more coverage (not entire face of course) than just the lcd screen alone. Something with ~2mm gaps on the sides would probably accommodate a tpu case. No? It's just too difficult to tell how much space each protector leaves around the edges of the screen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jottle:
That also reminds me, do the sgp ultra crystal (latest revision) and sgp ultra nano both cover the same amount of surface on the s3? I understand that the nano is thinner. So perhaps it covers more of the face of the phone. Please reply if you know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jessicahll:
I was going to post a similar thread. I didn't have an issue with a Zagg shield + TPU case on my DINC2 but the one I bought off eBay (where I bought my other ones) has been causing bubbles. This bums me out because I feel that the phone is incredibly slippery without a case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
I have Realook 3D full coverage screen protector. It works with some cheap HK TPU cases, the but doesn't work with Diztronic TPU case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jottle:
That's what I needed to hear! I have the cheap hk tpu case and my friend has the diztronic tpu case. So it looks like if I buy the realook 3d forming for me and the spigen ultra crystal for him, then I'll have compatibility for both phones/cases. For anyone curious, here's what I've gleaned from posts on this forum so far.

Spigen Ultra Crystal, ultra nano, and Realook crystal clear will work with any tpu case because the protector just covers the screen, not the most outer edges.

Realook 3d forming will probably only work with tight tpu cases that barely cover the edges of the phone. Although this protector is supposed to have edge-to-edge coverage, others have stated that the protector stops 1-2mm short of the very edges of the phone. So it should work with some tpu cases.

Spigen curved crystal won't work with any tpu cases b/c the protector literally goes exactly to the edge of the phone with no space in between.'

That's what I know for the most popular choices in dry-apply protectors. I'm not interested in wet-apply protectors, but I do know that these will not get messed up by cases because they literally glue to the screen. Post here to let us know if you have any brands/styles of dry-apply protectors to add from experience.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
Correct. I have tried few cases and few screen protectors.

Screen protectors including Spigen Nano clear, Realook 3D and Glasszone Tempered Glass.

Cases: few cheap HK 2 bucks cases, Seidio Surface, Diztronic TPU and Samsung Protective Cover+.

The best combination for me is Samsung Protective Cover+ and Realook 3D curved screen protector. This combination gives me a solid look and moderate protection. It is best combo for going with formal wear and showing some content for my clients from the phone. It is barely noticable that my phone has case and SP :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jottle:
Is the one you used the same as the one I have (picture in my first post at the top of the thread)? Anyone else use this case with full screen screen protectors successfully?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
I have used this one:

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Anyway I think I'm done with all those cheap cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jottle:
Well, I should have taken everyone's advice here. I tried to get the realook 3d forming full screen protector to work with my cheapo ebay case, and of course, it pushes up the corners. So sad because I really like the screen protector's coverage. What kinds of cases work with the full screen protectors? (obviously not tpu ones as I've tried both diztronic and mercury without success). If there was just 1 mm less coverage on the full screen protectors, you could use a regular tpu case. My other galaxy s3 has the spy ultra crystal which is also nice, but just barely covers the lcd screen leaving 3-4 mm around the bezel to get scratched. I suppose a result screen protector is my only option if I want to use a tup case as well? please report!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
Try my suggested tpu case above or get samsung protective cover+.

No problems so far. Using this for two months. No more frustration. Full coverage screen and full coverage bezel protection.

EDIT: I also suggest original samsung TPU cases as they fit perfectly with full screen protectors.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dozzum:
Ive just ordered a smart dock for my S3 so that I can use it with my TV, wireless air mouse, hard drive and wireless xbox controller.

Now the final thing I want to do is run XBMC for PVR software, but cannot find a definitive answer about a tuner that will work with my S3.

Im a new user so I cant link to the one I have but its ebay item number 200828623654. Its made for an android powered smart box but will it work with the s3 aswell.

Or does anyone know of any that will work.

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dozzum:
Have I done something wrong in my post or is it just that nobody knows the answer?

All I can find through loads of google searches are a couple of expensive tuners that only work with their own inbuilt mini aerials and others that will connect to an outdoor aerial via a coax cable but they are made for specific android smart tv boxes.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dozzum:
Reasons .

Might be better in Accessories .

This is not a f*** fix my phone forum its a developers forum .

As its rather a restricted topic you may need to wait until someone with an answer appears .

jje[/QUOTE]

Im happy if a mod thinks its appropriate to be moved to accessories.

I am aware it is a developers forum and I was at no point demanding anyone "f***g fix my phone". The use of TV tuners with the Galaxy S3 would be a development of the phone as it is not something that it was initially designed to do and would allow people to make better use of their devices.

I was just making sure that I had not done anything wrong in the way I had posted my question and to make it clear that I had searched around for an answer already for a couple of days myself as I know people get annoyed when noobs post questions without bothering to look for themselves.

Thanks

I have a virgin mobile unlocked and unrooted. I've tried a few roms here and found them to be better than the stock rom. However, I have random graphic glitches along with a screen that will not fully turn off (turns black but you know the screen is still on by the sillhouette) thus draining battery.

What is generally considered to be the most stable rom for this phone?

Thanks.

Same phone, rooted but not yet ROMed, I see this once a day at least where the screen is only black, not off completely, draining battery. Thought I'd mention this since it appears to be a hardware or driver issue, not necessarily the ROM.

Yeah

If you use anything other than the stock kernel then you can get apps like SetCPU from the playstore and overclock it.

Is anyone working on a custom recovery for the kf2? Or anyone working on unlocking the boot loader?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
I'm pretty sure I saw you on the Dev forums and thus you already have your answer.

So far, kind of. Powerpoint has been tinkering with his device. He got TWRP on it, but that's about it. I saw you linked him the CWM builder so we will see if that helps him at all. I don't know how much he can or will do for the device, but he's the closest thing we have to an active dev.

I had a friend that can code a bit, and will start to look at Android, but don't expect anything from me. The main dev I wanted has yet to respond to me so until I can reach him I won't be promising any progress on anything sadly, but I myself will try and help people out when and where I can.

The best news is Hashcode may have something in the works for us. From what I understand he is not developing for the KF2, but what he is developing he plans to have it working with the KF2, and we would be allowed recoveries and eventually ROMs.

That's the status so far, no ETAs, slow progress, but for now we just have to patiently wait :)

In the meantime you can still root and do a lot of fun things with the KF2
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
Thanks for the the response! I was wondering if anyone was alive over here. I'm coming from the skyrocket forums an its a madhouse over there. I'm actually really surprised that there isn't more going on over here as this is such a cheap powerful tablet.

I bought mine today, rooted, installed gapps and changed out the launcher with adw ex. Once we have an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery I think.I can build a couple of nice Roms for this device. I even think cyanogenmod will be pretty easy once we get the ball rolling. I know some good devs out there that can hopefully get in the mix as well. Unfortunately REAL devs are hard to come by (I definitely DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF ONE).

Or is the boot loader unlocked? Not quite sure about that one yet. I have only read about half the forums so far. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MkVsTheWorld:
I use Straight Talk AT&T at the moment and I bounce prepaid service. I'd like to buy the Samsung Galaxy S III from T-Mobile and get the SIM unlocked via a hack I saw on here but I wasn't sure if you have to activate a prepaid plan with first? Or could I just buy the phone and SIM unlock without repercussions?

I could get the Galaxy S III from Amazon Wireless for cheaper with the AT&T variation. But, it's likely that I'll jump back to a prepaid T-Mobile plan. The lack of DC-HSPA+ would make a difference and that would be tougher to get HSDPA because refarming isn't complete.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MkVsTheWorld:
Anyone know if they lock down their prepaid phones or if you have to activate a prepaid plan?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] horr1blek1tten:
No they dont lock down their phones yes it's carrier locked but u can unlock it it'll work.

If I were you I would go with the T-Mobile 70$ prepaid plan. This plan now offers true unlimited 4g data no caps.

If not this then go with the $30 prepaid plan unlimited text and data (up to 5gb) and 100 talk minutes

Hes not looking for a plan hes asking if they require a plan to buy.

Is it possible to relock a bootloader and flash a stock rom onto the phone so normal sony updates will work after trying something like Cyanogen? Just wondering for future knowledge. :)

I think if i'm right you can lock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock, but not sure if the flashed stock rom then takes sony updates?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Yes it is. Flash a relock ftf file and once you do that normal updates can be installed.

Thanks, having a major crisis at the moment. cm10 was buggy for me and didn't work. Now I can't get the phone to boot without errors and can't get flashtool to recognise the phone. I just want to go back to how it was now to have a phone that works. :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rsmarsha:
I downloaded flashtool but the phone doesn't seem to boot half the time and when it does it's buggy. It's not seen by flashtool correctly, seems some drivers are no longer working for it.

I did download a stock rom (pre rooted) but despite flashing that the phone still seems to have cm10 on when I boot up. I'm thinking I'll just go back to stock if I can somehow manage to do it, the latest stock as the problem with my phone initially was it wouldn't complete the stock updates.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rsmarsha:
The phone now shows up as an MTP USB Device which fails to start, it no longer boots and I can't get it into recovery.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Once you relocked the bootloader then the cm10 custom kernel would not be able to load as it needs an unlocked bootloader.

Follow these steps.

Download and install flashtool

Download a stock ftf from the all in one thread for your phone (Dont worry about the fw version, but if you want to root it should be an early one, eg .303 or .305)

Open flashtool

Drag and drop the ftf into the open window of flashtool

Turn phone off, wait 30 seconds

Attach USB cabe to PC, then to phone. WHilst connecting to phone press and hold volume down button.

It should now work, if it doesnt copy and paste the flashtool log here

I know you have said your pc does not recognise your phone, but please try this exactly as i have said and post the log if it does not work.

Turn off RSD, keep your Phone in Fastboot and start the flash again. If it won't work, turn it off again and reboot your i. If step 1 gpt.bin was flashed successful it should boot straight into AP and you can start again.

I had some freezes with RSD, too. It always worked the 2nd time.
