[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
Purchased this morning for $15. They stink. Or I stink at putting them on. They don't sit fully on the phone, especially by the top speaker grill. The edges are bare all the way around. Small amounts of bubbling on the sides. The matte works fine for glare but distorts the beautiful screen. Seems like the SP can take a beating, so that's good.

In short: I hate them. Or I hate myself for not doing this correctly.

In long: I'll keep them on until I find a better replacement since I really don't want to scratch the screen. Is this was a 32GB GN I'd screw the SP since I know I'm going to keep the mobile for a year.

Would be more helpful if you would post a pic of the protector on the phone and not just the box. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AardvarkAdventure:
I impulse-bought the same protectors. They're terrible. Solid 1mm gap around the entire screen, and the speaker cutout is slight off-center, annoyingly.

Total waste of money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyoo_style:
The reason why there is a gap around the edges is because of the curved glass display. there is no way around this for a dry applied screen protector.

My Phone's data indicator alternates between 3G and H moment by moment. What exactly do the indicators mean as for as data speeds and variants of 3g protocols in use? (I am looking for a technical answer)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

H stands for HSUPA, or High-Speed Uplink Packet Access.

H = 3G

:)
[HTC Sensation] tk_xda:
So, its only the upload protocol that's changing?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Sorry.

I was just quoting from THIS THREAD

Maybe you can make more sense of it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
The manual is fairly straight forward, so in order of Speed:

G GPRS connected

G+arrows GPRS in use

E EDGE connected

E+arrows EDGE in use

3G 3G connected

3G+arrows 3G in use

H HSDPA connected

H+arrows HSDPA in use

Have a look at something like http://blog.ruggedandmobile.com/2010/01/26/a-guide-on-the-difference-between-gprs-edge-3g-and-hsdpa/ for more info.
[HTC Sensation] Dmitry N:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G

Actually, if the provider supports HSDPA and HSUPA, the indicator switches to "H" from "3G" when data is being transferred over the network. When no data is transmitted, the indicator shows "3G".

Why it's taking so long? Does anybody has an official information about the new update and when it's supoesd to get on Nexus S???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:
i read it would be released on the 16th

lets cross our fingers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
So long? You realize the flagship device that ICS is releasing in the US on has yet to be even launched by a carrier, right?

Why on earth would Google release ICS on the Nexus S before the Galaxy Nexus? It makes no business sense. I'm guessing it'll be at least another 2 weeks or more before we see the OTA update. I just cant see Google releasing the update for the Nexus S right at the launch of the phone that's supposed to promote the new system.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suisen:
Which sucks big time, i do loathe the Evil Empire, but i also remember having the GM and stock update to iOS4.0 on 3GS a week before iPhone 4 came out. It's not like GN only has ICS going for it, but that's the message Google is sending our way. And i obviously will no way in bloody hell be upgrading to GN after this **** up.

Bloody Huawei the first phone with ICS, not Nexus S?!

And another thing, i don't always mind waiting. But i do like to know how long and what the duck for. Another thing Evil Empire does right, tells the date and sticks to it.

I understand a phone can't be cutting edge for years, hell, not even months, but on the other hand i see people walking around with new iPhone 3GS updated to the latest OS as soon as the latest toy is updated. And i can't buy a single bloody app although i'm from a supposedly supported country. Developers say it's Google, Google says it's developers.

I am so switching if i don't get ICS by Christmas :/ and if bloody Email app still drains battery in flight mode on ICS. Like children running a big business :/

"Bloody Huawei the first phone with ICS, not Nexus S?!"

Be interesting to see how well it runs though??

Myself, really happy at the moment with CM7 and hope they include some of the nice, minor, but useful features of that in the CM9 build. So far there have just been enough niggles with the ICS ROM's ive tried so that i'll stick on CM7 for a while.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seg2012:
I am having a little issue with turning my tf on sometimes. I currently have 71% battery and turned off my device for it not to turn back on. I held the power key for up to 30 seconds, still nothing. Tried again and after 2 to 3 seconds, the battery icon came on screen showing a little power but in red. The only way to turn on is to plug it in. This has happened a couple of times now, but only after rooting my tf. I dont know if that is related or not, but can anyone shed any light on this? Has it happened to anyone else? Is there a fix?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicMan3:
Ever since trying KL1 stock rom with Speedmod kernel and going back to KK5 with speedmod kernel every time I reboot the phone I get no alarm. I have to go into clocks in the app drawer and resave my current alarm for it to show up. I did a factory reset when I went back to KK5 but it still does it.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicMan3:
Anyone?

I formatted the internal sd card, did factory wipe, cleared cache and davlic and reflashed KK5 and speedmod kernel. Still after I set my alarm and reboot the phone the alarm doesn't show up in the task bar. Any ideas?

Hi everyone

I have the most stupid question.. Is the gps free? Do you have to pay for using it?

I dont wanne teat it for myself

||Samsung Galaxy 3||Dutchrom 4.1||g3mod 1.9||
[Galaxy 3 General] aletto:
GPS is free. but you have to pay if you want to use, for instance, google maps, because it needs a data connection. so basically, it IS free, but unless you have a (paid) internet connection, it's useless.

One exception: if you got a navigation software with offline maps, you don't need internet and money. but such apps are -really- expensive ;P
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I may not advice you but google a full version for free. I am using sygic mobile maps. Try :-D

and use sygic for navigation purpose its also a offline app..

Hi, You have mybe a link to download this app? How much is it?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] qaysedcftgb:
maverick is a very cool app, buyware, but its worth

google maps saving in maverick:

be aware of updateing to version 1.95 -> google is deleted!

-> stay at 1.94

Use additonal the older mobac 1.9beta 6 and you can save a lot of maps.

maverick is less a navigation more than a tracking.

You can navigate, by checkinging the maps manually. Its not as comfortable like a real navi.

Give me your mail and i will sand you a download link...but you will have to download maps for your country...

[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
what does it mean to turn radio on and off and ENG on off..what is the point of that im just about to get my inspire and i understand rooting and such but ill be wanting to add a custom rom and oc the phone i am getting... im just curious of what you guys think the best rom/kernel would be for this phone? i had revolver and rev on my tablet i had before and i wish the phones would be easy as the tablet :p i mean with the tablet i could install to the flashcard and then go into cwm but i just cant seem to find the exact answers im looking for... so please could you explain these things to me like what that all means im sorry i keep switching between cellphones bc i cant seem to find one that keeps my attention xD
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Really man? Reading is fundamental. Please do your research before asking a question. While the process may seem unbelievably easy, which it is provided you read everything and research, rooting and flashing roms,radios,kernels should not be done lightly. Did I mentioned read and search? yeah do that. Everything you're asking has been covered more then 1,000 times.

If you haven't already rooted, see the hack kit thread in the dev section. Read everything, the OP and the effen manual. Once you do that, do it again and then again for comprehension. After you've rooted, the process in flashing a new rom is not complicated at all. Again, these are all things you can find by searching and educating yourself. If you ever ask what the best rom/kernel is again, I'll blow up your house. I'm just kidding but that's a dead horse that people continue to kick over and over and over and over and over again. Don't believe me and want to find the answer for yourself why I say that, search best rom and see the response. You'll thank me later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
i have indeed rooted before and i do know about the fancy lingo but i just wanted to see what others were using and their opinion i have read it but i guess ill go read it again... im on my phone currently and trying to enter in the search phone the browser wont allow me to click enter :/ i have problems with my xperia play thats why im getting the htc :p hopefully it wont irritate me as bad lol but thanks again
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I'll give you the "best rom" speech lol. There is no best rom. All roms will have bugs. What is best for me, is not best for you. It all depends on what you want out of the rom. There are some things some roms have while others don't and the more you test out the more you'll know what you can live without and what you can't. So the best thing to do is, try them all out and see what you like. My recommendation is Bindroid for sense, Absolution for AOSP.

Believe me, reading is key and you clearly get that. I just don't want to see you make a mistake that could have been easily prevented ya know! If you want my personal take on why I recommend the above roms, PM and I'll share.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Well, after looking through the stickies, i have a question. Is there a glossary of terms for the inspire? I'm trying to learn about procedures and processes on this device but most of its Greek to me. I know rooting and flashing, basic stuff. But S off/on, eng off/on, hboot,etc. I currently use a Captivate and those are terms I'm not familiar with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
thats pretty much what i was asking xD
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Ok, Google answered my questions. And i have read the effin manual. Probably read it 2 or 3 more times. Just in case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Friends that are asking about radio and rooting just check out the inspire or w.e phone your looking to get and read about the radios and rils to see what they do and most if not all roms talks about the radio ril
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] badboyz:
Want to know if anyone has tried both and which one they picked?

I need to get a case but can't find a local store to test the speck case. My main concern is the size and if I will be able to easily get it out if my jeans pocket?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I originally bought the commuter, the day I got my phone(launch day) but after 2 days of use I got so fed up with it that I pulled it off and went with no case for about a week before I picked up the Speck, which has been on ever since.

The Speck is FAR thinner than the Commuter... however, it is still very sturdy and feels like it is protecting my vivid.

The Commuter was simply too bulky and I found the cover over the charging port to be difficult to open. in addition it was hard to put on, which makes popping the battery out a problem(something you will have to do if you buy backup batteries Or do much with custom roms).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] badboyz:
Thanks for the info I will look for a speck case then!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chachin:
Otterbox all the way. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sgs2_1.6:
Just bought the speck case for my white HTC vivid and by far the best case for the money. Love the case so much and trust me when i say it. I have over 5 cases and if you are looking for a thinner case go with the Tpu style.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
I use an otterbox defender. I work in a warehouse environment and have to have a good rugged case. Also like having a beltclip instead of carrying it in my pocket. Would love to see a few different options that offer the same or similar protection though so I can change the look of my phone from time to time and not sacrifice durability.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtien:
I have tried these 3: otterbox commuter (grey/blk), speck and incipio (SILICRYLIC). After 2 weeks of try out, I went with otterbox for the reason of protection. I just feel the quality of otterbox provides a lil more protection that the other 2.

At first, I found putting the case on was a hazzle but now it doesn't bother me anymore. I kinda master the skill and able to put on in 5 sec. hehe

As for style or design, I like the speck case.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
So, I've tried getting 6.0 on my kang CM9 builds, with no luck. There was a quasi-guide in the themes/apps section, but it didnt fix the issue.

Basically, we're stuck at 5.11, and it gives "Package is not signed correctly" error.

Anyone have any recommendations? I'm getting frustrated by this.

i tried the following with no luck:

In TtnBackup, I converted maps to user app, then detached from market.

Then I tried mkt doctoring, uninstalling, and reinstalling with no luck.

I also tried uninstalling while it was still detached, with no luck as well.

I get the package signing error every time, regardless of what I do.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] att1cus:
I feel your pain--I messed around with that for 2 days before I fixed it, but the user app conversion worked for me. I didn't detach it from the market or anything, though. The info I followed is below, although you probably already tried it without detaching.

is very easy

edit the GApps from 28, and remove the Maps.apk

save it

then install the GApps, now you can install G maps 6.01 from market

another way simply do not install GApps at all, and only install Android Market 3.3.12 and then install everything else manually
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Thanks for your attempts at helping, but they simply don't work. I guess I'm gonna have to start over with a fresh install, which sucks.

I tried flashing gapps without Maps, then installing -------> Error -8

I tried removing using the TtnBackup Method ------> simply reverts to 5.11 stock app.

Define "uninstall", because when you "uninstall" a gapp such as Maps, then it doesnt uninstall at all. It simply reverts back to the original version. If you literally get the apk off the phone, as I did in the first attempt, you'll STILL get an error, this one being "-8", whatever that means.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] att1cus:
Yeah, when I was having issues the flashing without the maps apk didn't work for me either. Did you try deleting the maps data and then converting/uninstalling in TB? I thought I saw something mentioning to delete the data for the maps app first in TB and then uninstalling but I can't remember if that was it or not. I ran through the same problems--first the sign error and then the -8 error and then the user app conversion worked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Interesting......good to hear you had the same -8 error. I'm gonna reflash gapps w/Maps and start the process over and make sure I delete any data and kill the app beforehand. Hopefully this time it'll work.

EDIT: Still no go. I'm starting to think the issue is with converting to user app. Despite doing this (and it took about 15 secs), when I select uninstall, it warns me that Maps.apk is a system app, blah blah blah. Maybe it's not even converting it? How can I tell?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] att1cus:
The only other thing I tried to do that I can remember was somewhere in the process I tried to install the 6.0 apk from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 (the zip file) but I don't think it worked and then I did the user conversion and then it worked. Sorry, I don't remember exactly what I did to get it working. Bleagh!

Any chance we could get a version of the Stargate theme compatible with Tiamat-xoom-rom 2.3.0? I tried the Moray version and it doesn't install.

[General Questions and Answers] digger1985:
Hello,

My cousin is visiting the states which means it's perfect timing for me to ask for a cheap tablet.

As usual it comes down to NT vs KF. Which device is more compatible with sideloaded android apps?
[General Questions and Answers] Johann2000:
i think its the nook.. but im unsure..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1OubHD3y6Y
[General Questions and Answers] Climber Ty:
neither... go get an Asus Transformer or something similar... you have more flexibility to do what you want with apps. The Nook only has like 1 GB for "personal user" space and the Kindle allows some side load stuff, but if you have to root you can say goodbye to Amazon video. At least that's what I rememeber reading lately.
[General Questions and Answers] AmericanDane:
When you say "sideloaded" apps, I take that to mean you are not planning on rooting the device. If that's the case you almost have to go to the Nook Color because of it's SD card slot where you can add media at will. The biggest weakness of the NC is the lack of a microphone, but it's the best 7 (meaning very handy and portable) tablet around (IMO). If you can go larger, then the Asus Transformer is the best - although quite a bit more money as well.

My personal taste for a small, knock-around, tablet is the Nook Color, rooted and overclocked and install apps like Netflix and it's a terrific tablet. You could do the same with the Kindle Fire but you would be lacking that SD card slot.

Either one would be a neat device. Used you can find Nook Colors on ebay for around 150.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xandey:
Hi, I've looked and looked for this.

I was using "Missed Call," But I'm looking for an app that's slightly different. Has anyone ever found one:

An app that repeats notifications on new sms's and missed calls, but will stop the repeat notifications once you press any button (don't have to pass the lock screen).

I noticed an android issue that's 2 years old: (sorry, no links new user, android issue 1027) and perhaps this is not possible at all? If not, would it be possible with root or a custom rom like cyanogen?

Most feature phones can do this, I found that turning off a notification is really hard when i'm in a meeting and the thing rings until I can open it, unlock it, drag down the menu, and clear it.
