1. Buy a cover. This prevents lens making contact with anything you lay phone down on.
2. Never put mob in pocket with coins, keys or any other hard objects.
3. use your Common sense.

I flashed no scratch last week and although it hasn't removed the old scratches it definitely works in preventing new scratches in conjunction with learning to look after my phone

just like my previous phone i use a valenta leather pouch (dont buy a cheap one they [email protected]#k ) to put my phone in ,it gives great protection .(camera and screen
if you want the phone stil a bit tighter in the pouch you can buy a alu backcover with samsung galaxy s3 written on the back( ebay england just a few pounds )

Its a rom you need to flash with mobile odin, it tries to remove scratches but only the light ones. You need to root first offcourse

There are several "wipe" functions, but I would research them extensively before using any. You might accidently remove scratches from your screen instead of your camera.
On a serious note. DO NOT MESS WITH RECOVERY.

Blue Mark on screen ends.

U would think a simple ui thing like this would be appreciated by iPhone users. In any case, let them talk smack, they're just jealous if the only thing they can find fault with is a handy little ui feature.
Its also a way around another of those Apple patents...

My 8g n7 crapped the bed last night.

My daughter was playing mine craft on it last night when it made white noises (the noise old TV's makes when its on a snow channel) screen went black with random snow flashing on the black screen. I reboot it and the Google splash screen pops up then snow again. I ordered it on opening day and never unlocked it or rooted it (no need IMO). Only device I haven't felt the need to put custom roms or kernels on.... just my opinion.
Has anyone else ever had this happen and who do I contact, obviously Google but what area?

I hope everyone knows what white snow noise is. I may be getting to old lol

Removable back piece?

Does anyone have any idea where the top part of the back plate is removable? Seems a little weird as there isn't anything under it.
My only thoughts are that it could be a place to store the SIM if they bring out a 3G version, or its for some sort of official case which would clip into this
its for the case to attach on dude

You should buy a new one on eBay. It is the only way I think.

LOL my thought exactly, nowdays people want unibody + SD + removable battery + unbreakable + scratch proof screen, water resistant, bomb resistant soon
Basically a phone that is indestructible not matter what and it must be below 130gram of course and have a big screen and battery.
Still looking for suggestions...

I've got the TEP, but I was curious over whether or not I have another way to fix this screen before I drop 100$ on it, maybe something to do with the 14 Sprint Return? Anything there that could help me out? Samsung Repair?
Spend the $100
For once it is a good thing to live in South Africa, Samsung is giving us here the following:

Casing Change

How would I go about changing the casing on the back and front I know I have to change the back but Idk how to change the front without having to change the screen

I don't think you can change the front casing without the screen since it's one piece like you said. You might be able to sperate them with some prying but it probably won't seat very well when installed again and plus you'll have to buy a screen with the front casing because I really doubt anyone sells them sperate.

No I found a website that sells it with the screen or just the front because I don't wanna spend 200$ just for casing but thank you
