My 2 cents

Wanted to warn that changing the glass is not for everyone. It takes patience and zen. If you rush it, you will likely break LCD and spend even more $$$ that you would have otherwise. Also following notes:

1. Watch at least a couple of youtube videos before starting.

2. Heavy duty heat blower works much better than a hair dryer. Of course, don't go crazy, as it's possible to melt the phone with it :)

3. S III has a wire at the bottom (the one which goes to the buttons). If you damage it, you will need to replace whole LCD, there is [almost] no chance you will be able to fix this wire. So, always start removing glass starting with the top of the phone

4. Heavily cracked glass is hard to remove, as it crumbles. To make it easier, a) put a scotch tape on top of glass, so that the small pieces stick to it, and b) use a lot of heat

5. Everybody advises to use plastic tools, personally I used swiss army knife with high level of success, and never had a problem scratching LCD. Your mileage may vary, but using metal blade certainly makes life much easier, especially in heavily cracked glass situation.

6. If you do use blade, it often is enough to get blade just a little bit under a glass, and then simply apply heat. Big chunks will unglue all by themselves.

7. Remember, that failure is always an option. Don't use it on the phone, if you know that you desperately need it working right this day, if you don't have a plan B.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maxqas:
same freezing issue on mine... apparently the hardness of Gorilla2 is much greater than the knockoff glass replacements. The replacement glass on ebay and kijiji may not be authentic and that is why it bends slightly when pressed harder (in fact mine cracked completely when I applied too much pressure)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hani93:
i replaced my glass too (about month ago), and discovered that , the "freezing issue" come's when you press too hard.. that the glass touches lcd.

after quick google-ing , i've found that they suggest to apply uv glue (octa glue) , to fix that.

have somebody tried that ? is it worth that much effort to mess with liquid glue ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rafael_lf:
I've heard about that glue too. I'm considering switching mine, because when I repaired I reused the glue of the original glass, and know I had dust between the glass and the lcd -.-

My concern is about the uv light, don't know if we could put in the sun to substitute it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m1batt1:
I was researching how to replace the glass on an iPhone not too long ago and watched a video where the guy used the UV bonding agent. Long story short he said you can use sunlight to cure it but it takes substantially longer than using a UV lamp. I don't know exact time for sunlight but apparently it would work.

Also it appeared to be a long delicate process of removing the current glue from the digitizer and LCD without damaging it. But I'm sure anyone who has already replaced the glass knows how tedious the process is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hani93:
it's not that hard to remove factory gle there..

for example, i removed mine, by rolling the glue with fingers.

just make sure, that you don't apply too much pressure to lcd.

and after that, clean up lcd form dust/fingerprints, and you are good to go.

and for removing glass, i used usual/ stronger kitchen knife (attached picture).

[Galaxy S III Accessories] quaker1985:
i replaced my glass 3 months ago.

i use normal hair dryer to remove glass and glass comes out almost as whole except for small broken pieces.

i think my scratch guard help in that.

i didnt use any additional glue or uv light.

nonresponsive screen is issue but only when you press too hard and press of power button resolve this issue.

but whole process of replacing galss took 2hrs

Here's how I used to do
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shaungregg:
On a whim I walked into a T-Mobile store while driving to Orlando when we stopped for Starbucks just to see if they had any cases and there was the elusive S-View in black and white. I signed into Foursquare for 30% discount plus did the buy 2 get one free and in essence got the case and screen protectors for my N3 and my daughter's iPhone 5, the guy put them on for us all for 60 dollars total.

I love the case but I can't get it to do anything except wake up and shut down the screen when opening and closing, no S-View windows, clocks etc. I went into settings where there's a couple of options under accessories and nothing. I thought it might be the rom so I flashed stock, Darthstalker and Myrom to no avail. Any idea how I get it to work or maybe just a bad chip in my case? Fyi I mentioned how hard it is to get these cases and the manager told me they are a Galaxy Headquarters store , they had a special Galaxy counter and display as well.

I have to drive back to Orlando Sunday so if its not working still I will stop in and try another case and hopefully that will work unless there is something simple I'm missing, he put the case on for me and I should have tested out the functions there but we were already 30 minutes behind schedule, I got the white case for my white N3. For anyone in the South Florida area its the store in Port St. Lucie just off 95.

I can only guess that the 3 roms from development took out the S-View apk if there is one or I have a defective case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] donnybright:
Check the case. I just came from the store and they had 3 bad cases. On the right hand side there is supposed to be 2 metal pins. We checked out 8 cases and 3 were missing the pins or weren't glued down.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Scyke:
Yeah check if it has the metal pins on the back. I bought one from AT&T that didn't have the pins glued down and I had to return it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] spridell:
Maybe this is why Samsung issued a recall for some of the cases.

Someone mentioned it on this board a couple of days ago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] arctic84:
Samsung QC is getting pretty terrible..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flexfield:
Samsung releasing the Note 3 without OEM accessories is pretty bad imho. Finding a case in London and Manchester including the Samsung Experience store at Stratford is next to impossible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
There are none to be got in Ireland either
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shaungregg:
The pins look fine, after using it for two days even if it had worked I'm going to get my 60 dollars back, guess I'm just not liking the functionality of having to use two hands with this type of case. Also the flap tends to stay ajar quite a bit, I'm just going to stick with the Caseology case that was waiting in the mail when I got home tonight, cost a few dollars and it looks and feels perfect to me.

Thanks for the responses guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shaungregg:
Well I ended up exchanging it and this one worked immediately. I was all set to just get my money back but it's just too cool, switched to a black case just because it won't show dirt.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] asaqwert:
i had one and they are ****. sorry to be frank, but honestly, for 65 bucks, that stupid thing should have a magnet to stay closed. my brand new phone would be going on and off all day long because the flap would open and close. as soon as i'd use the phone it would stay open, or bounce a bit... whenever i moved it, sure enough, the screen turns on because it opens and closes again

totaly crap samsung... if you aren't going to have a magnet, then at LEAST make it out of something that won't try to hold the damn thing open

i give this thing 1 star, and the only reason it gets that is the idea itself is pretty cool... too bad the implementation felates a horse
[Android Themes] Haeretik:
Hey guys,

Now, i'm looking since 2 weeks for a WORKING cm10.2 theme chooser Eclipse Projekt/Template. Not an .apk File wich is needed to be decompiled, because this is never ever working. I found a few templates here on xda, but all of them are outdated or just not working.

This is why i'm asking in a new Thread, i hope somebody provide his working theme project, then other userer with not a that big knowlege of programming have a change to theme their phone themselves.

Thanks

Hello fellow xda members.. a friend of mine bought a Rogers s3 3 weeks ago.. initially upon inserting the Pakistani sim it didn't work.. but then he gave it to a local phone seller and he got the phone back rooted and the sim working.. my question is what has the retailer done to the phone by rooting the phone? Any root app that unlocked the phone? Can confirm that there is no root app installed accept superSU.. any help would be nice..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Root does nothing. He would have unlocked the sim to make it work on any carrier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knightameer:
I knw the fact that root does nothing.. every android phone of mine is rooted.. the question is why did the phone come back with root superSU installed.. the sim worked after that

Sorry but I don't know, the only time I have unlock my phone was with a paid app for root phpne

Just an observation I wanted to share. When I launch camera from the home screen the display every so slightly lights up prior to going into the camera app. Does this whether power save is on or off and in any screen mode *except* Standard.

Anyone care to educate me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
Not sure I'd I fully understand what you are saying, but let me take a shot at it. It you mean the screen is getting brighter when you open the camera app, it's because the camera always opens with maximum brightness.

Thanks. My note 3 does this as does my wife's. Its all normal behavior.
