Forget the Otterbox, if you can get this instead go for it.

I bought one the other day and it is easily comparable to the Otterbox.

The One X is tough. I've dropped it on my hardwood floor many times, phone still looks great. Tiny dent on the bottom. Still upgrading to a One though, I'll just be more careful.
[One (M7) General] ant78:

Seriously, you just got lucky. The glass WILL shatter if you drop it face down. Had dropped my Note II on the face and luckily got away with it too. But more often that not it does break. Take care of it better next time though :)

[One (M7) General] Sodalitas:
I was shoved down a flight of steps yesterday by an inconsiderate schoolboy, and there are now two large cracks across the screen of my phone. While the phone still works, I want to replace the screen and speaker grilles. Fingers crossed, hopefully HTC knows how to fix this.

[One (M7) General] biffsmash:
Seems the 4 corners of the phone are slightly raised as I dropped mine face down and only one corner has a little nick.

HTC phones have always been indestructible for me especially the screens. Galaxy s3 and note 2 screens are very fragile.

[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
Exactly how I broke my nexus 4 didn't have that same fate though. Positive thing about that situation is I had a excuse to buy the ONE lol
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I was just thinking the same.

I'm a fan of the Baseus Slim flip case. It's cheap, good quality and it protects the screen.

I never thought I'd like a flip case but it's actually really unobtrusive and when I'm home I take it out.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=300885232164

I loved the slip case for the Sensation. It was light, thin, aesthetically pleasing and protected the phone really well. I don't understand why HTC didn't continue making them in that style. They went back to the chunky ones with the pull tab for the One X and they don't do a slip case for the One at all. I much prefer being able to feel the lines of such a beautiful device when I'm using it.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180718618384

I would never have a flip case that holds my bank cards though. Firstly it's very nature makes it larger than necessary but you're also making a very convenient little package and advertisement for muggers and pick pockets. Not clever if you live in a city.
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
I gotta ask you something guys.

I'm trying to decide what to buy. Flipcase, pouch or some clear gel case.

I really want to buy a pouch because I don't want to hide this beauty. So my question is; when do you think people drop their phone most? while talking or while taking it out of pocket? I mean if I got pouch it'll protect it if I drop when taking out of my pocket. But It wouldn't help if it was in my hand (obviously)
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I always like pouches. All of my phones look like new when I finish with them.

In my opinion, skins don't protect the phone it's so easy to scratch the screen in your pocket and screen protectors look like ****.

Flip covers aren't ideal either. You could easily get keys or loose change between the screen and the flap, when in your pocket.

I like pouches because you hold the phone as it was intended to be and you view it as intended. What's the point of having a beautiful device if it's hidden under layers of gel, leather or plastic? It's like everyone who has an iPhone is always telling me how beautiful it is and that's why they don't want an android phone. Then I ask them the last time they actually saw their beautiful iPhone out of it's case and that makes them think.

The difficulty I'm finding with the One and a slip case is as I pointed out above. HTC made a great slip case for the Sensation but the last few they've made have sucked. I have a One X slip case and it's huge both on the phone and in the hand. I've tried loads of third party slip cases in the past, with other phones, and the main issues are quality and that they're generally ill fitting. Not to mention they often look like crap.

The reason I started buying official HTC cases was that I was sick of buying new cases all the time and I saw one cheap and decided to try it. I have to say that the quality is generally way better with their own cases and I've bought official ever since (I've owned six HTC phones). This time round though I think they've screwed it up. The official cases for the One are too bulky. I want a tight fitting slip case that covers the top of the phone well but is easy enough to remove the phone from to answer quickly.

You also have to consider the material. When I first started buying cases I really didn't want leather and I bought ones made from textiles but they aren't so easy to slip in and out of your pocket. In fact gel cases pretty much grip the material in your pockets, this could cause you to fumble with the phone to get it out of your pocket and drop it. I say that because it has happened to me before and I had a few near misses. So. Anyway. I ended up realising why it makes a lot of sense to go with leather. It's just as easy to get in and out of your pocket as with no case at all.

In the retail firmware the 360º photo sphere is deleted by samsung.

What do you think the reason guys?

Maybe there is patent related thing? I'm sure the hardware is more than capable to take photo sphere.

[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
I read somewhere that Samsung wants to include this feature on Note 3 first.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Highway 55:
I have had the AOSP version (photosphere) on my nexus s since 4.2.2 came out. If this phone can handle it surely the s4 can.

It really is more of a novelty feature anyway. Don't get me wrong it is pretty cool, but it is something that I can count the number of times on one hand that I've used it. Most of those times were just to show how it works to people. It is not a feature that I will miss. YMMV...
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Photosphere is actually a Nexus exclusive thing. It's not even included in the source code for AOSP.

That's why you don't see the photosphere on CyanogenMod.

So Samsung is developing their own photosphere and they are making it exclusive for Note 3 first.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Highway 55:
Yeah I know that. Same reason that the nexus swype style keyboard doesn't come with vanilla AOSP. I had to install both of those separately. Most people just associate nexus devices with AOSP :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisliebaer:
Hi,

I recently encrypted my Nexus 4 and used the cmd tool to use a different password for the encryption and the PIN-lockscreen.

After checking the sqlite databases and some similar threads like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873700 I wondered if it would also be possible to simply set the lockscreen to the the default "move your finger" thing.

I know that this is insecure but that is not the question. The device is rooted and running the current Nexus 4 Stock Rom.

Thanks

Chris

Im getting tired of taking my otterbox defender apart every week or so to clean the dust out from the screen. Is the griffin survivor case any better? Ive heard its good, from some ios friends, also does amazon sell it? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drnihili:
Griffin doesn't make a Survivor case for the Note 2. There's a chinese knock off that many of us have. I'm not in a position to compare it to an Otterbox. You may want to ask on Vectron's review thread.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
As drnihili-zztop (man, that is one cool beard!!!) correctly pointed out, some Chinese manufacturer took S3 design of Survivor and scaled it up for Note 2. The fitment is OK, but the screen quality of the plastic screen protector is cheap. My kids had Survivor for their iPod touch, and I can tell you with certainty it's not the same. It is usable though, and has a great drop protection.

Now, here is a bigger question, why do you even need to use built-in screen protector on your Defender? Otterbox screwed up the design of this case for Note 2. Every comment you read in this forum or any other forum or even Amazon reviews talk about the same thing - awful screen protector. It's not flush with a display, but rather slightly concave up. When you push on the screen protector it sucks in the air/dust from the opening of home button. That's how you get specks of dust and moisture in there. I would say most everybody remove that plastic protector as soon as they get the case (use hair dryer to soften the glue and push it out). Get yourself a decent screen protector like iSmooth or Spigen, and you are in business!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ghostcamed302:
I love the otterbox itself but the screen protector is horrible and yes i have thought about taking it out and getting a zagg but i've read that if i use the s pen it can leave the some indents, then i heard about tempered glass screen protectors. I was very interested in the MIME glass screen protector, but i just don't want to spend the $40 on it if it wouldn't work good with the otterbox defender. Also i heard somewhere elses(i think android central forums) that otterbox was going to revise the defender, i've been waiting on it but i'm tired of waiting. If you can suggest a decent tempered glass screen protector that works with the defender i might give it a chance, or if griffen comes out with a survivor for the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
If you read MIME review on this forum, everybody had an issue of edges not sticking. Even so it's discounted at 1/2 off, I don't think anybody paid $40, but rather $20(?) I wouldn't recommend it. I'm using VITREO from Seidio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210365 and absolutely love it. Yes, its expensive and it's narrow so you don't have any non-sticking edge issues (N2 glass is curved toward the edge), but it also bullet proof. With Defender, I was a little anxious when I placed my Note 2 in it when I had plastic screen protector in, but once plastic screen protector was removed - it was perfect. Keep in mind, I wasn't using real Defender, but rather HK knock off which is 1:1 copy of it (in both quality, fitment, and dimensions). I had original Defender 3-4 months ago, and returned it back after a few days of use; couldn't stand that awful screen protector and the whole bulk wasn't justifiable. Been rocking UAG with VITREO until now when I just switched to ZL 9300 mAh battery and ZL tpu case. But still going back and forth between UAG and stock battery, and ZL setup.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dr.m0x:
Yep. The one real complaint I have about the fake Survivor is that the screen protector marks up pretty easily. They are still decent cases though and can be had pretty cheap.

GT-I9300 International No carrier

Current FW v 4.1.2

hxxp://i.imgur.com/DxDXONZ.png

Update Details

hxxp://i.imgur.com/18JE68Z.jpg

Phone Rooted using CF-Auto-Root

SuperSU and Busybox installed

CWM not installed

Using Stock ROM

Using Stock Kernel

As you can see Kies has prompted me an update and the update seems to have already downloaded OTA using WiFi.

It is prompting me to install the update again and again.

My question is, if I do select to install this update,

1.) Will it remove root?

2.) Will it completely wipe my phone? (previous incremental updates haven't wiped my data, but the phone wasn't rooted then.)

3.) Can I root again using CF-Auto-Root?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Device status modified and cannot update

tried using triangle away and did not reset the flash counter
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Because triangle away can reset your flash counter only if you're running stock recovery, stock kernel, stock rom etc.

CF-AutoRoot should not make your status "modified" but probably like you see it did. Maybe some other apps did that, maybe not, nobody knows anyway. If you really need these updates then you should flash newest firmware from samsung through odin and then root it + reset flash counter, it should work also for further updates (but I'm not sure).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Thanks a lot.

I know where to get the FW updates to flash via Odin but don't really understand how to reset the flash counter if not by using TriangleAway.

Could you please be kind enough to guide me?

And these are the apps I used after root

SuperSU

Busybox

Root checker

Titanium Backup

Lucky patcher

Market enabler

Greenify

Could any of these apps modify the stock kernel, rom or recovery? Coz I never flashed any custom ones just rooted using CF-Auto-Root and installed the root apps

P.S: I was able to do the FW update via Kies and now the status is back to normal, but I'm afraid to root coz the status might go back to modified.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
It's more like, you know. If we're talking about warranty then they'll find that your rooted your phone anyway. If we're talking about updates then probably it's still better to keep an eye on some stock-based custom roms, mostly because of frequent updates (nearly instantly after new baseband), while you still need to wait some time for OTA to arrive. Of course it's much easier to apply OTA than whole custom rom but hey, how often are you doing that? ;)

About your question - busybox is my choice because it modifies /system apps, many of them.

And lastly - in odin you have a checkbox to reset flash counter, so you don't need to worry about anything using this tool. At least in general.

Overall I'd stick with pure stock non-rooted firmware if you don't need it in general or rooted custom rom (f.e. mine :D) for much better experience. I couldn't go back to stock after getting used to much better performance, less battery drain etc.

Choice is yours.

As its a warez app who knows what sort of malware it could add to your phone .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Thanks for the quick response

I rooted mainly coz I needed to use market enabler

In Odin are you referring to the option F. Reset time??

I am using the Odin version provided by Chainfire in his S3 rooting thread in which all options are disabled except for Auto reboot.

[MENTION=3095420]JJEgan[/MENTION] I don't even know how to use half of the apps I mentioned, I only installed them as my friend suggested it as must have root apps.

As you might see, I am still a N00b at this and am in the learning process.

BTW Thanks for the link to the guide.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I suggest going through my flashing guide located in ArchiDroid thread, with newest odin and newest methods for flashing/rooting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Thanks a lot.

If I'm not mistaken, ArchiDroid is a Custom ROM(pre-rooted) which requires a Custom Recovery.

I will be learning a bit more first before I install a Custom ROM.

A question though. Will I have to take a backup of my app data if I decide to install a custom ROM?

Also if I want to install the stock FW via Odin, will I have to take a backup first?

Thanks and I'm really sorry about asking such questions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Yes it requires custom recovery for installing .zip package.

There is nothing to learn if you ask me, you have complete guide for installing everything you need in step-by-step howto. If you want to keep your data then you need to use some nice app for that f.e. Titanium Backup but for that you need root and... yeah. It's easier to start from scratch on new pre-rooted rom.

I'd suggest flashing custom recovery (tutorial in my topic) and then you can create a backup directly from that, with everything you want to, including actual system, efs folder, recovery, kernel etc. So you can easily get back to original rom whenever you want to. Keep in mind that you still need custom recovery for that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Ok Now I'm really confused :eek:

I still haven't learnt how to use Titanium Backup to backup, or how to do a nandroid backup. I have read it's better to do a backup b4 installing a custom ROM. And if I'm not mistaken, I need ROOT to do a nandroid backup too.

As I said before that I used CF-Auto-Root, I just followed the instructions to the word.

I had tried doing a ADB backup before root, but for some reason it kept exiting(I guess coz I have just about 1GB memory left on my Internal memory SD card)

Thanks for the quick reply. Man ur really fast in answering questions. :good:

EDIT: Just did the CF-Auto_Root again and didn't install any other apps like busybox(uninstalled all root apps) and used triangleaway to reset the flash counter. But the counter still stuck on 1

The device status shows normal though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
First of all you need custom recovery to perform nandroid backups. So you can stick with my first 10 steps in my howto. After that enter recovery, enter backup section and make a custom backup (or default, doesn't matter) of everything you have, especially /efs folder as it's really important. When you finish doing backup then boot to your normal system and copy these backups to your PC. Now you're sure that they won't disappear and if you want to backup your phone from that then simply put them back on your phone and restore them from the recovery.

But overall I'd suggest clean start without these backups. Of course it's always recommended and I recommend it as well but as long as you won't want to go back to original rom, there is no real point for backing it up. You can always download latest official firmware and flash it through odin.
