S3 Hall Of Dropper (drop their phone on the floor survivors):

QUOTE(YouDontKnowMyName @ Jul 20 2012, 07:25 PM)
Dropped my phone from waist height onto ceramic tile floor today cry.gif
Luckily nothing happened except a tiny scratch on my casing cry.gif
(glossy hard plastic casing)

QUOTE(eddydo @ Jul 20 2012, 07:29 PM)
Drop my phone today too, was sitting on the chair and the phone lying on my lap, then I turned my body, bang! Screen down drop first, flip case was open, so far nothing happened :l, rock flip case,
*
QUOTE(Eiraku @ Jul 18 2012, 04:38 PM)
I guess my rock case is enough for normal drops. I've thrown my phone onto the mattress only to have it bounce up and drop hard against the floor and wall a few times edi... shocking.gif
*
QUOTE(Silver Isle)
Ouch. My baby S3 had its first drop today from waist height, screen DOWN, with only ROCK Quicksand casing and Nillkin SP on. My heart broke into thousand pieces and I didn't dare to pick it up for a moment (was thinking, damn, cracked screen, damn, RM600, damn, should've bought the Melkco flip leather casing earlier, damn it's not gonna be the same anymore). But phew, thankfully x9999999999, not a single scratch observed so far...

XeactorZ - dropped his S3 so hard he was shocked till memory loss of when he dropped it
QUOTE(ngkhanmein @ Aug 13 2012, 01:04 PM)
so mahal? i slipped my s3 w/o casing at toilet. should be around 1.5 mtr no scratch but SP peeled off 1% over the edge only. dropped screen hit the floor. damn scary i worried got inner part broken inside..

QUOTE(Kasumie @ Aug 13 2012, 07:31 PM)
I dropped my phone for the first time from a shelves at about the height of 1.5m. . But I don't see any scratches. .

uh guys/girls .... just a public awareness. if you plan on rooting your phone and installing apps, please be sure to use this program...

Anti Spy Mobile


https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...tispycell&hl=en


There is a free and a paid version. What this program does it 2 things.

1. check for spyware
2. check the permission rights for all apps on your android for anything that looks suspicious


1 is obvious, but 2 is stuff like record audio for voice calls..... using your phone camera to take pictures of you .... tracking your location ..... knowing your android device id..... So whenever you install apps left and right without reading what permissions your giving these apps ... this program helps you track what apps have too much power, and you can then investigate whether that app legitimately needs it, or whether it is spyware doh.gif it's your call.

With this app i am not left to wonder whether i got something lurky running on my android.



For anti virus i am using kaspersky mobile security
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...e=search_result



Another good app is connection tracker. It investigates where your android traffic is going to, so you can find out if it's suspicious activity and whether your mobile phone may have compromised
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...ackerfree&hl=en



Also .....Android malware's dirty secret: Repackaging of legit apps with some nasty stuff

QUOTE
After analyzing more than 1,200 Android malware families, the reserachers -- Yajin Zhou and Xuxian Jiang -- found that  86.0% repackaged legitimate apps to include malicious payloads and argued that the theats can be effectively mitigated by policing existing Android Markets for repackaging detection.

So it's good to be safer than sorry sweat.gif
