So Im in the process of my attempt to not be a fatass. And im looking for a solution for some sort of armband that would fit the epic touch. Ive looked at a few things on amazon. But nothing that I would trust ordering since there are no real reviews. Anyone have on for there epic touch? And can recommend one?

Would be nice if my search found that thread, for some reason it didnt. thanks.
No problem, I just remembered seeing it recently.
Also I've noticed that using search through the app will always leave out results when I try using it.

For those that don't want to have to go to another thread:
Armband for E4GT that you can use a case with as well.
I was about to order this one myself.
Complete On The Go Smart Kit
I don't know about those arm band things .
I would think they get in your way of lifting .and blood flow .

I fully support this armbelt: http://www.amazon.com/Armband-Otter...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330538858&sr=1-1
It will fit your E4GT with the TPU case on and it doesn't wiggle. If you WANT it to wiggle, get the bigger model AB85.

but on that arm belt do you have to take out the phone everytime you want to change the song on the phone ?
Nope, you can control the phone directly inside the case. Touchscreen works fine too (I have a screen protector on as well).
So I am going to buy an S3 soon. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that I should know about the phone before I buy?

Highly suggest enabling "Power savings" in the settings. This will help battery life and doesn't make the phone as hot to the touch. Other than that, invest in a great case. You will love the phone!
Id highly recommend not enabling power save mode. I don't feel it's worth the performance hit. I get great battery life still and the phone has never been hot to touch for me.

And if you decide to root/rom backup your IMEI information as well prior to doing that.
If you're not a flashoholic, Google Wallet fix is a nice little feature.
Don't buy a case that has a metal back(blocks NFC)
Before buying ALWAYS check Radio Shack pricing(usually they are ~$50 cheaper than AT&T store directly)
I would suggest reading these forums regularly, especially if you plan on modding your phone. Little things can screw stuff up and you dont want to be left helpless . Lot of interesting stuff if you browse other posts and threads... Learn as you go .
In general the phone is great. Maybe some things are missing comparing to the international version but nothing major.
Yes don't go to att store go to radio shack picked up mine for 150$
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Install CM10 or AOKP.
Get a good case + screen protector.
Walk outside with one before you buy. Make sure you can live with the screen.
definitely don't go to at&t store, the shack hooked up mines for under 100!
from MIB galaxy SIII
Check amazon, wirefly, bestbuy, and radioshack. Compare the prices and look for specials sometimes bestbuy gives free stuff with the phone exclusively like a case or Screen protector.

Find someone who needs to make quota and you can pick one up for around $100-$150, depending on your social skills, and might be able to pick up some accessories near cost. The Samsung flip cases are pretty legit. They replace the back cover.
Get the Invisible Shield HD for the screen, and then get a skin/maximum coverage for the rest if you don't plan on using a case. The HD is so much nicer than the original Invisible Shield. The texture is smoother so it feels more like glass and I've noticed that it's easier to use when it's humid than the original model as well.
I dont know who's gonna let you walk outside with one (makes me laugh when I picture some one saying "I just want to see it in the sunlight ").

Lol no kidding.
If you have a friend with one, just ask them to take it out in the sun. Yes it irks me to have a crappy screen in the sun, but it's just a matter of downloading a brightness app or setting it to auto before you go out (if it isn't already). Minor annoyances for arguably the best phone on the market. You won't be disappointed.

This is the first phone I've ever set auto brightness to on and left it on. It does a great job figuring it out. I haven't had any direct sunlight problems.
As for OP, the phone will get warm under heavy usage. I usually use GPS and bluetooth at the same time while I'm in the car and if my phone wasn't in a case, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to pick it up. Also, keep a charger handy whenever you go, especially in the afternoons. I charge my phone overnight but by 1pm, I'm down to 50% battery and need a little boost.
if you do get a case (and you should) I would strongly recommend otterbox.

Caps are appropriate imo, back up that imei if you plan to do any flashing at all, period.
Also, make a nandroid, having one saved me a ton of grief during my recent "nuked my imei, have no imei backup, omg what do I do" adventures. Restoring the nandroid backup didn't recover my imei, but it did help me on the path to getting back to a working phone ;\
I didnt see a thread about this specific case.

Has anyone see or heard about this? is it worth getting?
This one appears to be much more protective than the original gel case..but im not sure? With the 50% coupon im thinking of getting it
Has no one tried this new case from samsung?
Case looks good but Samsung support sucks if the case gets screwed. So I will not buy it from them ever

hey if you find a link for this case please post it i'm very interested in picking one up. thanks:good:
I was hoping samsung would get these back in stock to use the 50% off code.
Amazon shows them but, out of stock.
Anyone else find them?
I made mini review of this case:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35341606#post35341606
Hey everyone first off if I say anything stupid I apologize in advance.
So due to the Verizon sale on the HTC one I decided to leave the S4 behind for more then one reason.
First being that the build quality is piss poor at best, and second I can't get my AOSP fix.
My only questions are
1. Has anyone else gone from the s4 to the one? If so any regrets?
2. The most important question: is there any chance of me getting a HTC one that I can't flash Roms on. I.e. upgraded firmware etc..
If everything checks out I hope to joining this community soon!

Oh word. I myself much prefer the feel and shape. With a one there's a wow factor for how solid it feels. It really does feel great. The diff in screen size is hardly noticeable. While the one screen pops I do envy how the s4 looks like there's no depth. Speed is about the same. The camera on the one is better IMO but both have their strengths. Battery on the one is better over all. And the no physical buttons is a plus to me. Plus the volume and power buttons are hardly noticeable unless your using them. I suggest using santods tiktak ROM if you like aosp. Very smooth and stable. Still in beta too so means it'll just get bettet

I wanted the One before it came to Verizon, so I got the S4 instead, but switched when the opportunity presented itself. I'm pretty happy with it. While I enjoyed the S4, the build quality doesn't compare to the One. The S4 has a better camera, but the One has awesome speakers. They really do have their own strengths and weaknesses. Put a KitKat ROM on your One and go out and enjoy it!

Hope to see here you. The SG4 was a "fun" phone, I guess I'd describe it, but the HTC One is a real mans phone. No cheapy plastic, HTC Sense is great, I personally love it. I do miss the feeling of, oh hey I can just toss this phone around, with the HTC One, it's just too perfect, so for the first time since my first smart phone (HTC Eris) I put a very light, clear TPU case, which I absolutely LOVE. Don't have to worry about the metal getting dinged up on the sides, (it's a very soft metal, if you check out scratch videos on youtube, you can see on this one side the metal is VERY light and susceptible to scratches, I had no case for like the first 3 days, I went to pick up the phone and accidentally like push it forward (it was on a table) and it pushed into a lighter.. to my surprise I now have a small scratch from the tip of the metal lighter. That's when I went and found the case. I couldn't believe it scratched it, It was such a soft touch to the lighter.
I went without a case on the sg3/sg4 and both are still 9/10 condition.

Anyone know how I can change a HTC One Silver to Black for VZW? I see they have back housings in black on eBay, but do they have a front? Is it fairly difficult to do? I'm not looking for a skin. I really love the black HTC One. Its a shame VZW didn't get it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The HTC One has a unibody enclosure. I think it's safe to say that it's impossible unless you plan on gutting the phone.

it requires a special tool to take it apart. but if they want to change the front and back of the phone, they will need to replace the screen as its 1 piece for the whole front so this means wreak the LCD anyways.

it's not going to be a "cheap" color change and you're better off not doing it unless you want to spend the money.

Anyone spends money how they think is necessary/ appropriate, but this phone is simply not designed to be taken apart and attempting to disassemble seems absurd. Money wise makes no sense, you need to buy the back first, and then you need to buy and replace the whole front end... Then you run the risk of completely breaking the device. Oh and not counting that your warranty is completely voided... Seriously. Makes no sense at all. Sell the phone and get a phone with the color you want.

agreed, spray paint or even a vinyl would be a "safer" alternative.
Easiest way would be to look @ your phone through very dark glasses.
Opening the phone will also void your warranty. Just get yourself a nice case in the color you want. It will be MUCH less hassle.
good luck!

Look, TMO doesn't offer black either. So I ordered a black TPU case. It covers up just about the entire phone. Most people seeing me use the phone would think it is black with silver highlights. I'd do that for $10 before I'd attempt to swap out the housing.
Good luck!

You should buy one of the skin kits that makes it look black.

There are many companies that makes skins so search for a good one or kind you like.
