Not picking on you, just using your post as an example. I love examples like this because it's like saying "I don't wear my seat belt and I've never been in a car accident". Individual cases of having a phone with no cover staying pristine are useless, same as saying "case X will protect your phone from drop X". I guess I just don't understand the whole point of this thread, who cares if you have a case or not? Some people are just lucky and/or never take their phone outside. Others just don't care if it gets broken and will just buy a new one. Me, I have the Obex because I am outside a lot, ride a motorcycle and don't want to have to worry about whether I'll get rained on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] c9-h13-no3:
When I had my Evo 4g for a while, I never used a case. Not once did I EVER drop that phone. I was very careful with it.

Then I upgraded to the SGS3, and got my wife one as well. Ordered her a ballistic case, and decide, why the hell not and got myself one too.

Now that my phone is invincible, I've gotten complacent and I've dropped it more than a few times. I think knowing it won't get hurt has made me less careful with it. Catch 22.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BuckMulligan:
For me, the big issue is that the phone is too slippery without a case. I used to have an HTC Aria, which had some sort of coating on the back that felt tacky in the hand and stayed put when set on a smooth surface (up to a point). When I got my S2, I liked the form factor without a case but it felt like a wet bar of soap in my hand. I got a cheap case, which felt much better but didn't really protect the device much, I guess - a couple of weeks ago I somehow cracked the digitizer and wrecked it. I got to use the old HTC for a while again. Just today (literally), I got my S3 and, once again, I like the form factor but it's just too slippery. I ordered a UAG case, and I think I'll like it well enough. It will embarrass my kid, anyway, so I'm getting my money's worth.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
I felt like this for years and years. Especially when it comes to technology. But then I thought about how much money I'm actually getting for my items when I turn around and sell them to someone else. If the price difference between mine being in darn near mint condition, and some other listed in "average 6/7 out of 10" is only a few dollars (read under 100), I don't bother with babying the device, I chalk it up to the cost of business, and the cost of running the phone naked.

The only thing I do now is run a clean, hard screen protector from spigen, and that's it. If I'm going out somewhere I'll be using the phone often, maybe the gym, or out taking pictures with it, I'll toss it in a nice tpu or Otterbox defender.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MrRedPants:
Who knew this would spark such a discussion! I hadn't checked this thread for a while. Love reading everyone's comments
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JustSomeDude:
Well, I bought the Tech Armour screen protectors recommended here, and have to say, I'm impressed. I took off that dingy Diztronic sp, and saw how perfect the screen was, and almost just left it naked. But I thought I'd try the Tech Armor since I already bought it, and it is night and day better than the one I had. I managed to get it on without bubbles, and I actually can't tell it's there (never believed people when I read that before, but now here I am). I'll be leaving it on for now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ghostyroasty:
I put on a Tech Armor protector today and the second application left a raised edge on top. During the first application, the whole screen protector came off on the second step.

So sun_dream has Android 4.0.4 booting with sense, but that's about the only sense rom that has a different version of android than what Verizon gives out. (4.0.3)

Anyone have other versions booting with sense that they could post to get the dev going on those type of roms? There are a ton of JB roms in the original section, but some of us bought an HTC phone for sense too! I think if there was something that booted, it might encourage more development on that front. It wouldn't have to be the absolute latest, but something JB like would be nice....

[General Questions and Answers] mindstormer:
Got my first smartphone--Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm not new to these kinds of mobiles devices and I am actually pretty tech savvy (college student), but given this is my first smartphone, I have some questions:

1. Is it bad for the screen to turn it on and off frequently? I find myself doing that because the timeout is set at 30 seconds (which I know I can change) and I like to multitask. I'd assume turning on and off a computer monitor at frequent rates would be detrimental to the hardware, so would doing the same to a smartphone be bad? I intend on using this device for maybe 5 years...

2. How long are SSD in smartphones expected to last? They and tear and have a finite amount of read/write, so reformating the phone on a frequent basis is bad in this regard. So is constantly transferring music and videos back and forth. Is the SSD designed to last way beyond the intended life of the device for the average user? I am definitely going to be doing a ton of my phone and treating it more like a laptop...

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] supermooshman:
1. not sure how the hardware will react to a repeated turning on and off of the screen but I am pretty sure you'll encounter some hardware failure before you'll wear the screen out (cracked screens, buttons breaking, sand in the mic...) five years is a long time (five years ago the G1 was launched :highfive: mine still works -with a cracked screen- but last time I turned it on I wanted to kill it because of all the things I was missing from JB. And not to mention that I wanted to kill myself for it being so slow)

To be honest, how many people do you see still using an original iphone or g1? Granted at the moment devices seem pretty ok to endure the ravages of time (keep them away from toddlers though)

2. on SSD life expectancy I would guess they also would survive five years as I am still using my first sd card I bought (which I used mainly as swap partition and apps2sd). An interesting read: http://maxschireson.com/2011/04/21/debunking-ssd-lifespan-and-random-write-performance-concerns/

I have the international version of the s4 on Tmobile USA network. I'm having issues with getting 3g/4g/H+ connection. Majority if the time is staying on edge, I've called tmobile and they've helped little, made a few adjustments but still mainly getting edge. Just seeing if anyone is encountering the same thing and found a solution.

What network mode are u running and did u do any modifications to the access points?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
-GSM/WCDMA (auto/connect)

-"0" modification.

Boy is it your first international phone? :)

Any way what kind of modification they (tmobile) do to you ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calibachrome:
Yeah first international, got it as a gift or otherwise I would have gotten the carrier branded. They had me changed it to WCMDA, and changed the apn name to fast.t-mobile.com That actually got me some H+ and 3G connection momentarily then went right back to edge.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Oh....all international phones not compatibly with t-mobile 4G bandage. I remember I started seeing first "3G" in the end of 2012. I shocked I got H+ most of the time with GS4 ! (example check my screenshot. This is now in Jersey City)

Also international phones got stable "3G" everywhere on AT&T.

And BTW thank you very much for this "They had me changed it to WCMDA, and changed the apn name to fast.t-mobile.com That actually got me some H+ and 3G connection momentarily then went right back to edge." I will try.

Yeah I just put it on Craigslist seeing if someone is interested in a trade for a carrier brand. I love this version and all but it's 2013 I need network speed. I just can't believe with all this technology they can't make a international phone that supports worldwide bands. I was asking on here if there was a way to root it and flash the Tmobile bands or another route other than trading out for a carrier branded model.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Yea I see your point.

So is there a way to root and flash Tmobile radio or bands?

unfortunately it comes down to the hardware, and long story short, the I9500 does not have 1700mhz band. www.airportal.de let's you see where t mobile is "refarming" the 1900mhz band which will work with your phone.

Can I install it in my device?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] vicegrips:
Hey everyone I've jumped over from the iPhone/Apple ecosystem so don't shoot me, but I'm really disappointed with this HTC Media Link HD. I've still got Airplay running side by side and these problems don't exist. I don't mean that to argue about Airplay and whatnot because neither companies are paying me royalties to argue for or against them. I just mention it because I can Airplay stream and mirror without a hitch so I don't want to fend off "your wireless network stinks" responses. I've got an Asus N66 and can sustain mbps back to my NAS/ESXi well beyond what this needs, and I can also stream non-hand braked blu rays without problem. I understand there is differences between streaming and mirroring, but also as I understand this should be a wireless direct connection.

Anyone having these problems:

1. Google Play (perhaps the latest version only) does not look to work with my Media Link. It will play one song and then stop as it tries to load the next song. Manually restarting the next song doesn't resolve I have to close and re-open. Spotify works fine.

2. Any flash I've tried to stream results in audio and video out of sync. I can mirror flash movies across airplay without this issue.

3. Audio cuts in and out in Spotify all the time. I can rarely get 2 songs to play in a row without chop. The cut outs are brief, but still very annoying.

Thanks for any help! Love the phone quite a bit, this is probably my first disappointment.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rsktkr1:
I have the same problem trying to stream google play music to media link. It only plays one song and it won't play any other songs until I disconnect from media link again - it works fine if its not connected to media link - but with media link only one song?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rhillson:
This issue exists with Google Play Movies as well. I tried contacting support about it a couple months ago with nothing ever coming from it. I was trying to play All Access via Play Music today and ran into the same problem. The songs will not even play when the Media Link HD is connected. I suspect this is some DRM related code put into all the Google media apps. I submitted a support email to Google as will attempt to get as far through to the real tech support people as I can to see if this incompatibility can be resolved. I urge you all to do the same. Stupid DRM...it ruins everything.
