[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:
Yea, they're very nice (my opinion). I haven't see any discoloration in the last 2-3 years with Zagg. The image quality is crystal clear. And my touches register much more than without it. I guess I have very dry finger tips.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Daedalus_:
I've seen the zagg only once a long time ago. Does it still have that bumpy orange peel texture?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:
Nope. Haven't seen that in a few years. If it was changing colors, one should've done a warranty replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] msbtt:
Just got my Zagg and it does have the orange peal texture. I will post a review later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
how hard is it to install? is it just like a sticker? if you dont align it up right can you take it off and do it again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
You wet the screen a little and it allows you to slide the zagg around to align it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
amazon has only bad reviews for zagg. what do you guys think of them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I used to swear by them but after awhile I got sick of lint sticking to parts of it that would come up a little. Plus I prefer a naked screen feel and just a think case for the back now. Might get one though just for the backside until a good matte case is available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
if I install 1 and let's say like 3 months later I don't like it,is it easy to remove the shield and liquid and bring it back to normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
Comes off completely clean, no residue or signs of it remaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Anfeldt24:
Any problems with Gorilla glass?

I was told that with Gorilla glass the use of a screen protector may make it difficult for the screen protector to stick.

I find this hard to believe since it should stick to any glass. At the mall the sales guy actually told me to pass on this because Gorilla glass has a chemical breakdown that is different than normal glass.

That may be true but- but has anyone had a problem before with InvisibleShield on a phone with Gorilla glass?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
thanks for all your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] azraell33:
Just ordered the full skin from ZAGG. Its $12+ shipping until the end of December
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Anfeldt24:
Not a bad price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xiLLeNtz:
They're the best. But I prefer a naked screen, as someone else also stated. I get them for every phone I own [I work at BBY so I get a killer discount] but I always end up throwing it out a month later.

Also, so far with the phone in the same pocket with my keys and coins, this Gorilla Glass has me covered.

If you don't want a case then they also work on the body [if you get full protection] to add extra grip! I was thinking of getting it for this reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Anfeldt24:
I do just that. Buy it all and after a while I take off the screen protector because of the gorilla glass.

I like how the full body gives you that extra grip without the bully feeling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
Bought one online last night. 50% off for Cyber Monday/Week, plus a free bottle of cleaning spray (foam?) if you post on facebook (I just sent it as a message to myself so I didn't spam my own wall).

I got the complete coverage version. Same price as the front and back protector only, and I figure you don't HAVE to put all the pieces on.

Eventually I want to get a good case, and can take off the back protector, but until then, $12.50 was nice and cheap (shipping via USPS wasn't bad at $3 either).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] live4nyy:
I just tried a Zagg and did not like the "texture". It was actually the third screen protector I've tried since buying the phone (Zagg, Steinheil Ultra, Anti-Glare) and one thing I have noticed is that all of them make the phone "hyper"-sensitive. What I mean by that is it will register a "touch" before I actually touch the screen. So I decided to go bare screen, first time ever with any phone and so far I like it. The touches are much more accurate and actually don't register until I make contact with the screen. Hopefully I won't end up regretting it but for now I'm happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] draztikrhymez:
I live down the street from their corporate store. I wonder if they'll honor the online price
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Anfeldt24:
I don't think they will honor the online price.

Keep us posted if they do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AllTheWay:
Why pay $30 for something that cost $8

I used to purchase Zagg then realized they serious over charge for their product. Sites like www.bestskinsever.com and skinomi and armoursuit all do the same thing and they are all made out of the same material. I would just purchase from there site. Also the customer service with Zagg is atrocious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I ordered from Zagg late Tues 11/29. They say shipping usually takes place in 1-2 days. Its been 3 full days and no sign of it shipping yet. Boo Zagg, boo.

(Though I did buy it during their Cyber Monday sale, so I guess thats why its slow, but how hard is it to toss a small box in an envelope?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
My opinion on these. Don't bother with these screen protectors. They are a waste of time and money. After 2 years, you will have a scratchless but useless device because it will be outdated technology. Was 2 years of hassle worth it? No matter how invisible these protectors seem, you are denying yourself the amazing screen by putting a element in front of it that will degrade the quality of the image displayed for 2 years. Also, these screen protectors are prone to getting stained. So you will be pretty much looking through a dirty piece of glass until you swap these protectors out every few months. Why do this when gorilla glass itself would never stain under the same circumstances?

Sure, you may one day forget to separate your keys from your phone, but the chances of it getting scratched is still pretty low. And maybe it will get scratched. It won't be that bad. It definitely won't be as bad as having to use a phone with a screen protector that is coming off the edges.

Use it the way they designed the phone. Otherwise, you are wasting your gorilla glass and instead replacing it with a overpriced piece of plastic/rubber.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Wow, you guys are far more tender with your phones than I am. Every phone I've had, including the Gorrilla Glass ones, end up scratched if I don't have a screen protector on them.

That said:

I hate the Zaggs. The texture is horrible for a touchscreen device. At least for me anyways. Too much resistance to sliding your finger around.

I like the Steinheil and the Vikuti. (The "ultra clear" or whatever on both with anti glare.) The steinheil reduces glare just a little bit more than the vikuti looking at them side by side. Both make it easier to see the screen outside in side by side comparisons with naked screens. The Vikuti is just a bit easier to install without getting dust under the protector. Other than the reduced glare, it's virtually impossible to see the difference between naked and protected. (in side by side tests.)

Over time both the Steinheil and the Vikuti show signs of wear. That's when I tear it off and replace it. (Once every six months to a year.) The Naked phones I've had show wear in the same time frame, but of course there ain't much you can do at that point.

Yes, I've had a lot of phones simultaneously. Family plan with 5 phones. (Wife & 3 kids.) So I've had a chance to compare. It's a screen protector every time for me. If you baby your phone & replace it every year you may not need one.

Don't worry about resale value. Screen protectors won't really help. Sure, the phone will be worth more, but two years of quality screen protectors cost more than the added value. Get a screen protector if your phone sees hard use and you want to keep the screen pristine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
I ended up buying one and don't like the texture though it might grow on me in a few days.

When you install it you need to let it cure for 12 to 24 hours with little to no usage

screen looks awesome with the protector on it might even look better than without 1 on

, not necessary word about dropping in breaking it I'm worried about scratching it and I hear little grains of sand will scratch it

For now I'll keep it on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I must say, I'm pretty darn disappointed with Zagg right now. I ordered a protector from them on 11/29 for their "Cyber Monday" sale. Didn't ship out until 12/5. They sent it via those services that UPS or such transfer to the USPS after a couple days. Its been down the road since 12/7.

Their customer service sent a somewhat condescending email saying that I got an email when it shipped out, giving me the tracking number. Funny thing is, it didn't show up until 12/10, 5 days after they shipped it... Not impressive Zagg.

Hopefully it'll show up tomorrow, and I'll actually get to apply it and see if its any good. I'll post pics once that is done, especially if I can get some macro shots of the texture.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] airtouch25:
I always use Zagg on all my phones. I actually prefer the way the phone feels in the hand. It helps make a slippery phone less "slippy," and adds a little bit of texture to an otherwise very plastic phone like the Skyrocket.

But yeah their shipping times as of late are not very consumer friendly and they are expensive unless you get some promo discount online or find one on Amazon/ebay.

I ordered a Maximum Coverage full body screen for my new white Skyrocket on the 6th of December. Just checked the website and they barely shipped it today. Screw the fact that I selected 2 day shipping. If I would have known it would take them a week to process my order before shipping I probably wouldn't have wasted my money on express shipping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nystreak:
Just got my full body coverage a few days ago. Took awhile to get here. Hoping best buy will put it on for me. I heard not all bestbuys will do a full skin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I just put mine on last night after finally receiving it yesterday. Everything BUT the front went on easily. I think I'll have to take it off and retry. You probably can do it yourself....I found that the application solution that they give you (they don't give enough, btw), really helps. When wet, it doesn't stick, and you can adjust the position before it gets sticky again. You can prob do it without help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Diablo2424:
I ordered my full body Zagg two days ago, I'm debating if I want to put the screen protector on though. I have always had full body/maximum coverage Zagg's on past phones (HD2/G2/BB's/etc.).. only my G2 I ended up taking off the back and sides Zagg and replaced it with a PhantomSkinz black carbon fiber, it was very protective the few times I did drop the phone, the skin took the hit, not the phone.

I mainly want the back of the SGS II Skyrocket done to make it less slippery, since it's soo slim and easy to drop. I really like the feel of the Gorilla Glass so I may not put the Zagg on, I'll have to read reviews and see if there are any other screen protectors that don't change the feel soo much of the glass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Dirt will get around the edges if you get the full body kit, which will look awful on the white skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Diablo2424:
Installed my Full Body Zagg last night, so far I love it, install was pretty easy, compared to other phones. I'm getting used to the feel of the Zagg on the screen too!

Personally, I'd recommend it to anyone who only wants a skin, not a full case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AWiseMonkey:
Plus, it will turn yellow after a few months and the white wont be so white. I have had Zagg on 2 devices, learned my lesson. It does make it easier to hold but they only last a few months before the edges start to peel up. I now use Realook for the screen and an Otterbox Commuter for the body (not good for the white version if you want to show it off though :D) when I need it, perfect combo for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I just got an email from Zagg, with 2 25% off coupons today. The 25% off is valid on 3 items, it says. If you are interested, PM me. However, they expire after Dec 27th at midnight MST, so if you are actually planning on using it before then, ask me for one. If not, let someone else get to use it!

Happy holidays to all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Learic:
Does the SGH-i727 use Gorilla Glass? When I picked up the phone from AT&T, that was one of the questions I asked the sales person and they said it didn't have it. I know they don't know "everything" about the product but when I was browsing on the Samsung and AT&T websites, I couldn't find any mention of it being either!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daystrom:
Yes, it does have Gorilla Glass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/...-galaxy-s-ii-features-corning®-gorilla®-glass

And yes, Gorrilla Glass scratches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daystrom:
It will scratch but not from things you'd find in your pocket like keys or change. I think a grain of sand might. I read there was a certain hardness level that would scratch it. Keys and the like are softer than the hardness level threshold however.

I still keep mine covered with a screen protector as cheap insurance. Doesn't look as nice but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Who doesn't have a bit of sand in their pocket??? ;) Hell, on some days I've got sand just about everywhere. Sand in my ears, hair, etc... Find it days after you think you've got rid of it. Sand is a reminder that life is good. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BrentR01:
Ghost Armor is where it's at!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acles003:
I tried Ghost Armor and invisible shield, and as much I wanted to like Ghost Armor, I actually like the invisible shield better. Its not as greasy feeling, and the screen just looks sharper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
Ya i just picked up my invisible shield and its so easy to apply and there are no bubbles which is amazing because i could never get that with the other screen protectors :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lesd777:
I've also used zagg on previous phones and for me its a must have. Maximum body protection applied correctly doesn't collect dirt or lint, at least not for me. Currently I'm running with the zagg screen protector using an otterbox commuter case and really like the feel of the screen protector. I also like the fact that it helps significantly with smudges and fingerprints on the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nyarrgh:
I got the cheaper one on bestskinsever for 8.99 (full body) and got a 20% discount last christmas, so 6$+. The Pro is: It is very clear and smooth, no orange peel effect at all. The Con, is, It is very clear and smooth :) It is not fingerprint proof. I am having to wipe my phone a lot. Oh well, at least it is protected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpIS03:
Hi everyone, thanks for your time. I have a japanese EVO from au kddi. It is fully rooted and I can flash custom ROMs. The ROMs I like so far are CM7 and Synergy RC2. However, both of those support Sprint phones, so some of the functions on my Japanese phone do not work when I use a custom ROM. Fro example, the main messaging system uses the phone's own email, rather than SMS. Also, WiMax doesn't work on custom ROMs since the support is for Sprint, I believe.

I am thinking of cooking a custom ROM using the ROM kitchen.

I have the stock RUU available. However, it is Froyo. I can get an OTA that updates my phone to Gingerbread, but I don't think the RUU is available yet. Is there a way to get the OTA straight off of my phone? I heard it was in the cache partition, so I pulled the img but I can't read it or open it.

Hopefully I can get the Gingerbread RUU for my phone...if not I suppose I can use the stock RUU, but I think I would be stuck on Froyo and can't do OTAs for fear of breaking something, correct?

Eventually, I'd like to cook a custom ROM that will be fully functional on the Japanese EVO while being as fast and nice as CM7 or Synergy.

Any ideas or offers to help, let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpIS03:
Your answer was neither an idea to some of the issues I'm facing, nor was it an offer for help in that regard.

That being said, I don't particularly disagree with your sentiment or disdain for the EVO. I don't plan on getting another phone for a while, so, there's that. Not to mention the small differences in functions between, say, American EVOs and Japanese EVOs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:

question

do you have that rom made? im trying to get a rom for my wifes phone.. a sprint phone that has the android japanese keyboard.. and everything in Japanese.. my wife is Japanese so having a Japanese rom would be better for her
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
So I got a lg revolution off of craigslist. The phone says its in test mode, and has the lg hidden menu enabled. I can not mount it to the computer because of this. It also charges slow as crap, like really slow. The phone on Verizons end is seen as a non verizon device for some reason. Called lg and they said I need to send it in and they will fix it for 40 to 100 dollars. Anyone have any idea how to get it out of test mode. Please help.:confused:
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
try flashing a TOT and doing a factory reset
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
How do I flash a TOT when it won't mount to the computer, it says can not switch to usb mode in test mode. So it won't pop up on the computer. Fastory reset does nothing, I have tried it. If you can tell me how to flash without connecting it to a computer. :confused:
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
Is the phone rooted
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
No it is not rooted. I have root explorer, and I looked at the system files and I can see CDGHiddenmenu.apk I am not rooted. The hiddenmenu is blocking me from connecting it to my computer. So is there a way to root without computer and should I delete that apk?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Try powering it off, press and hold volume up (not down like recovery), press and hold the power button. Continue to hold both and hopefully it will enter download mode. Once there make sure you have proper drivers installed, and try to push zv7 with lgnspt.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I took the battery out like My samsung phones and it says its in download mode. However lgnspt doesn't see it. I do have the lg android driver installed. Do I need another. Do you have google talk or something were we can chat back in forth this is the most progress I've made.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I do, it is mtmichaelson2000@gmail.com.

Do you have any other cables you could try?
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I tried different cords but and different ports, here is what it says. Usb composite device ready to use, LGE CDMA Usb modem: driver not found. I am now on google talk. I added you. So if you would kindly talk to me on there. Thank you.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I know you wanted to talk on Gtalk but anywayz. Do you have the drivers installed that came in the zip for mts root method(borrowed).
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
Not sure can you link me to that?
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I have now got it to recognize in the lgnpst it says model unknown. Says its in emergency mode. Start is no longer greyed out. So what do I do from here?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Download the zv7 tot file and run it. It is found in the development section.

PS. Never got the request.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I sent one to the email address you gave me. Maybe I added you to gmail. lol Mine is trigun123478@gmail.com Try again please?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
It's in the dev section
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Its showing you as a contact, are you getting my messages?
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
It says your away for some reason. I haven't got any in the last 10 mins. Did you get the screenshot so you see what I see?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I did, where it asks for the file under the vs910.dll is where you need to find the tot file that you downloaded.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
What the heck is going on with the google talk? Anyway it says pb file, and then when I click that it says it needs a csv file. So I don't see an option to add the tot file.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Ok, browse to the folder that has the tot file in it. Once there, in file name put *.*
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
That added the tot file now do I just click start?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Yep
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I have now hit start its loading everything. So this will flash basically a full stock rom on there correct? Like that hidden menu should now be gone and the phone will be full stock? Thank you so much by the way.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Exactly, takes about ten minutes. And anytime!
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
it boots to a black screen. Then just reboots itself? Should I try to flash it again. Maybe I did it wrong?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Try the zv4 tot. It could have been a bad download.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
I got it to work. Bad news the hidden menu is still enabled. It now has V7 on it but the hidden menu still pops up when I hit # but the phone now says factory cable connected and says can not switch to usb mode when factory cable is connected. ?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Now turn off the phone, press and hold volume down and hold power button together. Hold through lg boot logo, when prompted for factory reset do it.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
Well I'm sure you out of options. That didn't work either. The hidden menu is still enabled. I get factory cable mesage when i try to use usb. lgnpst see the phone now it no longer says unknown. The phones meid/imei is 0 won't change. if that lgnpst programs sees it will adb? can I root it and delete that hidden menu?

Update: adb does not see the device in download mode or regular is this phone, some sort of Verizon testing unit or something what the heck is going on?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Try flashing it one more time in lgnspt without emergency mode.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
Thanks for all your help. If that doesn't work. Is that it? what do you think I should do. Verizon's trade in program?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I don't understand why it would still do that after a fresh system install and a data wipe. If it doesn't work I may have another option.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
What is that option because it has to charge for a while to be able to flash. For whatever reason the phone takes a really long time to charge. So please tell me?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Well you could root, install clockwork, format data, system, and cache in clockwork, install gingervolt and see what it does.
[LG Revolution] trigun123478:
how to I root it without being able to connect it to the computer?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Try a different cable again.
