Tell those non believers Jonathan babe!

When your phone gets accidentally dropped on the right spot and cracks the camera lens or screen, then the value of a proper protective case would be noted. Also keeps it pristine... Who wanna walk around with an old dig up scratch up looking like it went thru world war phone. No matter how much care you take with it, it will get scratched.

point taken, but the slim case wasn't the issue in this scenario...we were directing the point more towards the fact that the s4's design has a lot to do with consumer demands and the guy said that most of us put a case on the device so the design is not an issue...lol

I.e design flaw of the maker hence the addition of a metal thing around the new phone



Btw is it just me or google changed the colors in the search?

[casper]

If u can consider that a design flaw on the s3 then the iPhone 4 and 4s also had a big design flaw despite the metal band around the edges aka antenna...cuz one drop on a 4s shatters its poor screen

3rd day of having my S3 (last week) I slid it off the kitchen counter accidentally.
My scumbag reflex made me kick it towards the counter.
Problem? Nope. I have it wrapped in an otterbox.
Do I care about the size? Nope. My investment's protected.
Yea the phone sexy, but would you marry a sexy woman and want her bra less all the time?
Saggy bress in 3 years.
An what's the hubbub about a plastic back?
You can buy back one cheaply.
Plastics take hits and go back in shape, UNLIKE METAL!!

[christopherwilliams2]

I would like to second the Otterbox.
It has made me a believer. Phone could fall from whey and I ent flinch.

In that aspect I must say the HTC One's design trumps the S4...by a LONG shot. But I take functionality over looks. HTC's ICS on the HOX was horrible. I dunno if it's improved over time but I damn well hope they fixed it on the One. While I do prefer the Metal on the One though, the S3's back cover is easily replaceable if something happens to it, also the removable battery and SD card is a huge plus for power users.

It's not a design flaw.. Gorilla glass isn't unbreakable.

:grin: didn't mean to make it sound so horrible. After using a 300 PPI screen tho, there's no going back.

[stev]

all this talk about case...i like the new S4 case...the flip one with the window....kinda cool to answer the phone with out having to open it.

[honda hoe]

Saggy bress in 3 years.

Ur analogy is silly because
1. Ur not marrying the phone
2. Yes I don't want her wearing a bra
3. In 3 years she will have been replaced by a newer, sexier model

Point? No fackin case on meh phone

It's not jelly bean, it's GPSD, check your battery stats and you will see. It's pretty tricky to turn off. I turned off GPS then the phone and removed the battery and sim for a few minutes. Eventually, after the battery had recharged fully, GPSD was no longer eating battery life. Also, the back of the phone is alot cooler. Seems to be a glitch with JB update.

[S_2NR]

Wtf is gpsd?

[maj. tom]

^
gps always on and the process running the background. a good OS is supposed to manage processes like that to conserve power.

[S_2NR]

Like how I have maps running there?


That's maps. But Wtf is gpsd? That's an app or something?

It's like herpies but for your mobile

[stev]

Wtf is gpsd?

its a process that feeds GPS data to the applications that require GPS such as Google Latitude, Navigation etc....





....I think

[Stephon.]

Honestly, IF we could chose, which one would you get. We're gonna get the Octocore versions in Trinidad but the Quad core seems to be equally as good with 1.9GHz and it comes with 4G LTE so I think it have the cute 4G icon instead of the lame H+ icon....

hmmmmm .... *thinks*

1 2 3 do tha nicki minaj blinks!
