Hi guys, no a long time ago we saw a chinesse website selling Iphone-like aluminum case for GS3. But this website was WAY too creepy and unsecure. I've found the same product over here : www .casefanatic.com/samsung-2/galaxy-s3/metal/hunterf-galaxy-s3-thin-alu-bumper-case/ no spacing

on a secure website and with a lot of choise for color !

I've ordered one today :) ! :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wertez:
looks like an ad...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] seberhan1907:
look cool :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wardoc22:
If you want your phone to look like an iPhone then but am iPhone and not some cheap look alike.

Even come topped off with a brushed bezel haha :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gorgtech:
Well, not a bad idea, I wonder about the reception quality though since a metal case also shields the built in antenna..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Il_Padrino:
I have one, and I have to say that I have got it not because I want my phone to look like an iPhone, but I like the metal touch and sturdiness my SG3 has now.

I have notice some minor wifi signal but has far as gsm, there was no loss (that was one of mine concerns).

I can say that I am happy with the results.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
Ordered mine today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shudder123:
hmm thinking of getting this case but some comments on the video said it blocks service. can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] epickaylynn:
You can buy it from ebay for 18 dollars seach ultra thin case samsung galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mokee92:
looks good but...

wifi and cellular reception will drop dramatically. I used this. no doubt it gave the phone an awesome looks and feel but i couldn't live with very low reception.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
Just received it, it's really nice. Haven't noticed any difference in signals. Still need to check NFC.

Ordered the black/silver. Don't like the combo, so I'll be ordering the all silver.

I'm going to start telling people it's the iPhone 5S/6... Lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DoUknoGREG:
Dont put your S3 to shame by calling it an iphone lol. Btw, do you have any pics of the silver/black combo? I kinda like that one, but i would like to see how it actually looks like
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
I intend telling the I iSheep that, cluster f*uck their minds.

Sure, I'll have to post them later
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DoUknoGREG:
Haha i see xD. And ok, thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] X_Heroine_X:
Ooh man this loooks awesome :( :(

i really want one but i cant get it in my country
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
Where are you located?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hiimwill:
I don't have this case but I tried using a different case with a metal backing and NFC (including S-Beam) is blocked. It was only the backing and not all around so I can't say for sure if the signal strength will be affected by this case. Looks very cool though.

I just bought on of these in gold. Hope it'll fit over my glass screen protector but we'll see.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Keczanm:
I'm getting confused , some people says it lowers the signal's strenght, some says it doesnt effects it.

Im actualy using a Spigen case which would be awesome but the buttons are so hard to press.:(

So I just got mine in today.. it looks really nice but :( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221236396627 and here's my results. So i'm requesting refund.

4465 kbps (4G) with no case

3680 kbps (4G) with outer case

324 kbps (3G) with back/outer case

in reverse order

2509 kbps (3G)

5858 kbps (4G)

Then wifi, bascially no loss
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Celidonius:
What's the thinkness of the case? From the images, the one from the OP looks thinner.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hmoobguy:
so, the OP hasn't responded to this thread i wonder if its just an ad for the site. Dunno about the specs, none to be found. But I would imagine anything metal would interfere with signal strength. Also the video on the site says 1 bar drop outside.. but I need and want proof before shelling out $50 bucks for a case. Wifi didn't drop for me either but that's not the reason why I would want a case like this. I want to use my 4G when i'm out and about. If it drops down to unusable 3G, its worthless IMO.

I would love to see someone test this case (like what I've done) to show with the bumper, entire case on/off the galaxy.

in the mean time, UTG urban cases on Amazon is on sale for $13 and I ordered me one already.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scp1146:
I can't say anything about 4g cause I don't get it anyways, but I've only gotten one-two bar loss at the most, and go to ebay instead, I got mine for a little over $18 instead of the usual $50. But it's a nice, slim case, personally my fav case yet, I'd recommend it if the one bar isn't a big deal to you

Sent from the S3 that's M.O.A.R. than meets the eye
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gregrin:
Is NFC working properly on it ??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scp1146:

Hi,

I've recently purchased an aluminium case from a UK seller:

eBay Item No. 321130143253

The case looks fantastic and feels a little more bulkier, but that probably mainly due to the right angled sides.

Unfortunately, the material lets this hugely down. Aluminium kills GPS signals and 3G signals are slowed way down.

I recently travelled just over 200 miles, before the journey I entered in the destination and I started travelling whilst it found a GPS signal. I was 5 minutes down the road before I got on the main road and still no GPS signal. Now I'm home I can see why it couldn't find a signal, just look at these stats:

*These tests were done indoors*

Without the case: Accuracy - between 26 - 39 feet and 9 satellites found.

With the case: Accuracy - 656 feet and barely 1 satellite.

Without the back of the case: Accuracy - 105 - 157 feet and around 7 satellites (though low & intermittent)

I really hope somewhere out there is a similar looking case but made with plastic or other materials that don't affect signal. I'm saddened that I'm going to have to return this case.

I have Sweet Armor black and titanium grey color , any one interest please pm me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bazzar1206:
I bought an all silver one from eBay - Also Item 321130143253

Here are the data speeds I have found.

All were done indoors - Sitting in the same place.

Without the case

WIFI 12.12Mbps Down - 1.4Mbps Up

H+ 4.62Mbps Down - 0.81Mbps Up

With the case

WIFI 12.20Mbps Down - 1.43Mbps Up

H+ 6.22 Mbps Down - 1.57Mbps Up

If anything, it has improved them!

I have not yet tried the GPS - but so far it looks like the £16 price tag is good value for money.

EDIT

The GPS is next to useless most of the times. There were some lucky times when it worked and when it did, i was picking up 8-9 sats. But other than that, rubbish.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
Has anyone tried this yet with the 3000 mAh extended battery from Samsung? I am currently using that battery with my phone and am very interested in this case, however I am not sure if it would fit with the extended battery. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
based on the tight fit of this case id be highly skeptical that this would work with the extended abttery
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
True that, thanks for your input!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] faddys123:
can someone show us a review ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Interesting. What about signal strenght? U can get that info from the Device Status info
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bazzar1206:
With the Case

-95 dB, 9asu

Mobile network type - HSPA+

With the Case but no official back cover in between the phone and case

-93 dbm 11asu

Without the Case

-91 dBm 11asu

Does that mean anything to you?

Have 3 bars of H+. This is normal for where i live and i'll only get the full four if im by the tower.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I meant with and without the case to compare.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bazzar1206:
Edit above without case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
That remains interesting lol. Thinking of ordering one just for the heck of it. You have any pics of it installed?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bazzar1206:
Here are the photos of the All silver case. The build quality is really good. Its just a shame about the GPS. But if that doesnt bother you, then its a good purchase.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jsdecker10:
I've noticed that when I search on eBay for things such as "galaxy s3," "galaxy s3 aluminum case," "galaxy s3 battery," "galaxy s3 wireless Qi receiver patch," etc., that A LOTTTTTT of the search results turn up items listed as "...blah blah blah... for Galaxy S3 i9300." Now this is fine and dandy and all, but seein as I've got the Verizon Galaxy S3 i535 variant of this phone, this kinda makes me wonder if there's a slight difference in the construction of the Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular variants. Is there any real difference at all in the physical look and/or design of these phones? I'm just ASSUMING that ALL of the accessories(Cases, Screen Protectors, Chargers, Batteries, Bluetooth and/or Audio Related, etc., etc.) for Samsung Galaxy S3 phones are interchangeable with each carrier variant of these phones ?

Thanks guys!! ...please feel free to correct me if my assumptions are wrong. lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] danvee:
Cases and accessories, yes. The ACTUAL case, no.

There are differences between the GSM and CDMA circuit boards and the display assembly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Prince21:
Got 1 looks great. I can confirm that this case affects your data signal. Always had 4g at my house. It is now 3g. Always had 3 bars and above signal at my house. Now it is 1 bar and very frequently the no signal sign. Will check gps tomorrow. Case itself says mobile phone 9300 on it. Hopefully the seller does not use that as an excuse to reject my return. Btw running MOAR Rom on my galaxy s3

[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisj22:
Iphone's UI and OS is crap but the look of the phone isn't to bad
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Leggomyeggos:
Been using this case for about 2 weeks now. Case feels great and makes it much easier to hold the phone. There is a minor drop in wifi and sometimes I would lose a bar of signal. I usually get 3-4 bars so that is fine with me. NFC doesn't work but GPS does. I used it to navigate around a few times with no problems. It is however, a tight fit. The top corner of my screen protector is getting pushed on and my zerolemon 2300 battery doesn't fit with the case on.

The case I got was unbranded, while my brother bought a similar one to the OP. His signal loss is a little bit worse (1-2 bars) because his carrier doesn't have good coverage where we live. I confirmed this by switching sims. His GPS doesn't work however. Maybe its because we have different model GS3s, I don't know.

I got mine on ebay. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Deluxe-Ultra...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item51af3ce5e7
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Scribblle:
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/27150790695...49&var=570340594193&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT and my signal would drop to 1 bar making it impossible to call anyone and constantly dropped calls but there was a few times my signal was ok around 3 bars but thats 2 out of 10 times so not good enough to keep the case on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 4desh:
Is there any metal case with nfc & wireless charging support???

How should the OTA updates be addressed with custom recoveries?

[One (M7) General] NJGSII:
x2.

The number at the end is the build version. .16 is definitely the latest one.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Just said system enhancements. We came from 1.29.1540.3, not 1.26 or 1.28, so probably not much changed for us. I didn't have any issues with my back and home buttons before the update so not sure about that. The update was about 17 MB.

Did you check ur camera app version cause .16 is the latest and should have camera...what is ur camera version?

You need stock recovery for OTAs, otherwise wait for someone to release a zip unless you know how to make one yourself.

Please confirm. Thanks! ;)

EDIT: Just tried it and it hangs at "Entering recovery". How is one supposed to flash the stock recovery?

[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
I am in Thailand and I just got the update and updated. Will update on differences after if I see any. The update pretty much only said enhancements were made but did not tell us which bugs and issues were addressed. Hate when they don't tell us what was addressed and what was not with an update but non the less and update is better than no update.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Where in the task bar are you looking? So far mine feels snappier and I think the back and home button issue seems to have gotten better. Will update after a day or two of use.
[One (M7) General] tsekh501:
Got it as well. But I am rooted and on CWM recovery, so I guess I will wait for someone to make a zip file.
[One (M7) General] Sango2:

[One (M7) General] ChrisChavez:
Can someone verify their camera version BEFORE they update? I'm curious to see if the camera app was updated. After updating, it's now on 5.0.569008 (HTC One Developer Edition).

Thanks! :)

UPDATE: I reached out to HTC and they're telling me this update (1.29.1540.16) is nothing more than stability improvements. Has nothing to do with the camera. Nothing to do with capacitive button sensitivity. Completely different from the Sprint update (that had the capacitive button fix).

Cheers.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Pretty sure we already had the capacitive button fix on the shipping firmware. I've never had a problem with them.

Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. I tested by sliding my finger across the entire bottom area. It now registers before I even get to printed icon. Before I literally had to press directly on the icons for it to register my touch. Guess HTC is just wanting to keep silent on it. Either way, I'm happy.
[One (M7) General] billbanks:
Thank you for the zip, but it didn't work for me... I tried to flash it using TWRP and it hangs on "Running bug_fix1 tool". :(

Original recovery for HTC One (developer edition) from RUU 1.29.1540.3 - ready to flash in fastboot
[One (M7) General] axman1000:
I used this, and it seems to work, in the sense that it goes into recovery, but then there's an icon of a red, warning triangle over the image of a phone. What's wrong?
[One (M7) General] clubtech:
Noting is wrong. This is how the recovery looks when just boot into it without an update from HTC.

If you download the update, it should boot into recovery without the red icon and flash the update (assuming you have not modified any system file).
[One (M7) General] axman1000:
I downloaded the update, and said Install Now. It starts off as the green icon and immediately switches to the red triangle. I had rooted and removed some apps, like Google+ and some of HTC's software, and also installed a custom kernel. Would that be causing the problem? Should I install the RUU again? If so, how do I go about it? Thanks for your help! :)
[One (M7) General] jeffreytz:
Yeah coincidentally I got a call from HTC today about my ticket on this, we walked through how to make it happen, he thanked me and said its making its way on to the dev team for review. So nothing has happened with this yet.
[One (M7) General] clubtech:
You need to RUU back to stock to get the update.
[One (M7) General] axman1000:
Cool.. Downloading it now.. Will try it out and see what happens. Thanks! :)
[One (M7) General] axman1000:
After several attempts to install the RUU, which didn't really work too well, I had to relock my bootloader.. Hope its all worth the trouble.. It seems to be going fine now.. For now.. :/
[One (M7) General] cc999:
Sensitivity fixed!

The only complaint I had on my 64 gb Developer Edition was the back and home button sensitivity.

It was a sort of hit and miss. After todays update its completely FIXED! I am so happy.

The phone is now perfect. Thank you HTC!
