[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ewroinc:
Got mine today and I am quite pleased with the screen protector. Think I should share my experience with those planning to buy this

First the quality of the protector is no doubt very good, it is crystal clear and very resistant to fingerprint and smudge. The screen look as good as before and there is no "rainbow" appearance of any kind one might see on cheaper alternatives. Touch screen response is maintained as well. It dosent seems to attract dust unlike some other static screen protector I tried before.

However the dreaded lift-of-edge issue is still there :( It may not be very obvious in daily use, but it IS noticeable. I have attach a few photos so that you can see the degree of the lift. It seems that the only way to avoid this is to have a smaller protector to avoid the edge....or use the wet type like xo-skin

For the rear camera protector its quite good from my experience and doesnt affect the image quality or the AF-speed of the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swankylaxplayer:
Thank you for posting pictures. Wow they really did make that fitment tight, and it looks like you aligned it as well as it could be done. Looks really nice though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gritts:
So if I were to buy a case that slightly goes over the lifting edge, this would be the perfect screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kekspernikai:
Do you get a lot of fingerprints or smudging with it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I like the look of these but I'm worried that I'd make a mess fitting it. I've gone through three screen protectors trying to get a dust free fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] travishamockery:
Stop doing installs in a regular room. Always do them in a bathroom with the shower running and get a good steam. Keeps the lint from floating around and it won't fall on your screen after you clean it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ewroinc:
You do get more fingerprints when compare to the naked screen (which is excellent when it comes to smudge resistance), but less than other screen protectors I have used before. just clean it with your sleeves when it becomes unbearable for you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gritts:
Has anyone found a coupon for these?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
How easy was it to install?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] da_hool:
From the pictures above it looks like screen protector is uniformly lifting all around the edges. Unless my eyes are deceiving me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ovrclck:
It does look like that from the picture. The otterbox commuter should cover up the lifted edges. I'm going to order one, I can't stand the rubbery feel of my XO skin as mentioned in other threads. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
I haven't had any issues with lifting with the XO Skins. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401035
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Wont this get humidity on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gritts:
No, I just sat down and installed mine, very carefully and slowly. No condensation.

Also, I found them in the USA for $16 plus free shipping. Might take a while, though. Mine took 9 days.

I bought a Martin Fields screen protector a couple of weeks ago and it arrived today. So I put it on and took some photo's of it.

Here are the pictures of the screen protector once it was applied to my phone:

There's a bit of dust visible in these pictures but it's not beneath the film.

The only problem I have with this screen protector is that it's slightly too big for the Galaxy Nexus screen. At the bottom of the screen there is a spot that doesn't stick down completely.

I've taken a close up photo of what I'm talking about here: http://i.imgur.com/hVXJX.jpg

The edge of the film is protected by the small lip on the edge of the Galaxy Nexus. It doesn't look nearly as bad as it does in the photos and if I didn't know it was the screen protector I would think it was just part of the curved glass. I doubt it will catch on anything but time will tell.

Here are a couple of shots from before and after the camera lens protector was put on:

I'm sorry they're not exactly the same - the sun must have moved passed some trees while I was putting the film on the camera lens.

Bought one yesterday from their official website. Got it today. They shipped from Hong Kong so I got mine fast as Iam from the Philippines. I will probably let the shops here install mine as they really know what they are doing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
Did anyone had to pay custom fees for international delivery? I'm in Canada and the shipment is from Hong Kong, and have no idea if it'll incur any charges. The total was about $25 including shipping for one item. I really hope this screen protector is worth the cost lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
4 screen protectors including martin field from hk and 5 cases no custom charges or duty and tax

im in vancouver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
I've received mine today, I had no custom fee to pay.

I didn't install it yet, I installed my SGP first. But Martin field cover the whole screen which will be nice. It got a better coverage than XO skinz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
That's great, let me know how your martin fields go. I originally had XO, moved to some ebay cheap kind, now on to Martin fields. I also got another XO beside me, but I dislike the rubbery feeling. I'm hoping martin fields will change that :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anfozy:
theyre just putting on a screen protector, man up and do it yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
I removed my sgp since it didn't cover the whole screen and it bothered me.

I've installed the Martin fields one, it cover the whole screen. Cutout are perfect. I love it so far, only the bottom isn't sticking up, like 1mm from the bottom. But it doesn't look that it'll get pulled up.

It should be fine and I'd I have a problem I have another one :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
I'm on martin fields, perfect fit I found
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
If that is the only issue, I think we finally have the most-perfect screen protector. SGP is too small, XO is rubbery, clarivue has somewhat of a rainbow, and I'm not gonna mention zagg. So far martin fields is dry, non rainbow with little drag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
Martin fields is also a fingerprint magnet. Other than that it's very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
So, do the edges really stay down with these protectors?

Seems to be differing opinions on this in this thread.

I have a Boxwave on my GNex now, which would be *perfect*, except that the edges don't stick-down 100%.

Thanks for the info!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
Based on the pictures, the edges will be slightly lifted. However, if you have a case that "lips" over the edge (i.e. Diztronic 3), I doubt it'll be a problem since it'll cover it up and will not be an issue. Other cases like the ringke might be a problem.

Regardless, I'll take the finger print magnet and lifting issues over the rainbow effects and rubbery feeling any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macdroid14:
Yup. I have the Diztronic Rev 3 and it almost covers most of the lifting of the edges on my Martin Fields.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
I've installed this screen protector from the moment I got my Galaxy Nexus, and being one of those people who usually have a hard, frustrating time putting on screen protectors correctly, this one was VERY easy and sweat-free to install.

You can notice fingerprints and smudges if used with dirty hands, but knowing that only that tenth of a millimeter is getting dirty, while the smartphone is perfectly safe, is a calming factor.

I turn that "should" into a "will" for the Otterbox Commuter case. I currently have this case and the Martin Fields screen protector, and yes, the case covers up neatly whatever edge imperfection the installation of screen protector might cause.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
and with otterbox commuter

Ive tried them all, and so far martin fields one are my favorite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
just trashed my martin fields.... did not like the screen lift on the edges, or the amount of fingerprints... luckily my verizon protectors came in a 3 pack, because they're by far the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
me too i dun like the lifted edges and fingerprints as well, went back to sgp, and waiting for a.r.m.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vsc:
Out of habit I ordered a Martin Fields protector and didn't do any research first, especially given that I ordered the protector before receiving the Nexus. Given the dry attach method my sense is that the protector should have been cut short of the edge of the screen by several millimeters to clear the curved edge of the screen, thus enabling the protector to fully bond with the screen. But ultimately the lifted area will become a trap for lint, grit, etc where over time the bond between the protector and the glass fails over a larger area. Note that I had a Brando protector fail in a similar way on a different device with a curved screen.

I'm afraid that while normally Martin Fields brand protectors are a good bet, the Galaxy Nexus version is useless if you don't have a case that protects the raised area around the edge of the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
More than 1 month later and it still look like new. Fingerprint arent that bad. It didnt peel more than what Ive posted. Im not even using a case and it doesnt lift up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
I have no peel for sure, and no problems with the screen protector in the slightest for over months now. But I remember screen protector threads from before and couldn't help but feel I wasn't as bothered to keep my screen spotless as much as most commentators. Martin Fields here, no peel, fits, hardly know it was there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blown 89:
I installed the skin four days ago and don't have any peel. Fingerprints are bad but when the screen is on you can't see them but they're no worse than the realook I had on my Vibrant. The Steinheil (sp?) didn't show fingerprints nearly as bad but the fit of the Martin Fields is much better. Hopefully it doesn't lift on the edges over the coming weeks but it looks firmly planted now.

[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
Have anyone else restored from CWM with Google Music and had offline music set up?

Whenever I restore from CWM, Google Music always have to re-downoad music that I previously made offline.

I did not wipe my data, and my SD card wasn't formated (actually an internal SD card - I have a SGS2).

Is it deleting my old offline music and just keep adding on (wasting space)? Or did CWM delete the offline music?

I'd expect a CWM restore should bring everything back the way it was, so Google Music should have remembered where the previous offline music was stored and not redownload.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] naddie:
Hmm... It does look like it may get deleted. To circumvent this, I renamed the cache folder to "cache-", recovered, then ran Google Music to start the folder recreation process.

Then I had to use a process killer to kill the Google Music process, delete the cache folder it started to recreate, and renamed my old cache- folder back to cache, and ran Google Music.

After all this, it did not try to download offline music again. To test, I set it to only display music that's already been cached and offline, and it worked!

Crazy, crazy, crazy...
[General Questions and Answers] benmcq:
Thanks for this.

Had cached about 30 albums on my touchpad and then realised that with ICS just around the corner it'd be a bit of a pain to have to do all that again. Will give this method a go.

Does anyone know if the battery that comes with this external charger on VZW's site has NFC? It's just listed as a "versatile standard battery."

In trying to figure this out, I had a conversation with a VZW rep, and I didn't leave it feeling very confident about his answers...in fact, I think they should pay me for training their staff on features of their products.

Anyone have any info regarding NFC on the external cradle included battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jordanelliott84:
it does indeed support NFC. I have it and have used Google Wallet with both batteries. And both batteries say Near Field Communication on them

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I would advice you to use fastboot instead of odin. Fastboot can be a pain to get working if you're not too technical, but it's very easy to use after the initial setup. Fastboot is a bit higher level than odin, meaning that if you screw something up with fastboot, you can almost always fix it with odin. If something happens with odin... Well, it's a lot harder to fix.

This post should help you get started.

Hey here's the lowdown.

4g xoom w/tiamats 3.2.4 lte rom. Same kernal packaged with the rom.

I've searched around looking for a wireless tether app to work with the xoom.

Wireless tether 3.1-beta, wireless tether 2.0.7, barnical, etc.

None work. Trying to tether laptop to xoom. Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sodaboy581:
Are you just NOT paying attention to the initial post for that ROM? It clearly states tethering, at least 4G, does not work with that ROM. You have to disable LTE. It is a bug with the Kernel/ROM and it should be fixed soon.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electroman987:
Luckily I'm not as much of a nob as yu think. I did read the op of his thread and saw that. Even when in 3g (toggled via settings), it won't tether.

For some reason the apps won't complete the process of setting up the tether. IDK if its something to do with the roms settings or the app. I use wireless tether personally on my x2 and it works great.

Guess I should say it fail at "starting softap" and "activating wifi interface".

Hope this helps with diagnosis.

I have a strange issue where I can't send or receive data over my wifi network at work.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] snappydave:
OK, I have been frustrated with the lack of consistent/reliable wifi tether with the Photon as are many others. I live in a good 4G area but, up to now, have only been able to tether 4G via USB. Unfortunately, the awesome wifi tether app (thanks Harald Mueller and co.) still doesn't have dedicated settings for the Photon so we've all been fiddling with settings and app versions etc.. to try to get it working.

My main problems have been as follows:

1) 4G shuts off automatically after connecting and reverts to 3G

2) connection with tethering devices gets interrupted and the device no longer sees the phone. Need to restart the tether app on the phone and re-establish link with the device.

3) Can't talk on phone and tether simultaneously on 3G

4) Can't stream video to devices on 3G

etc...

The fix I found that works basically flawlessly is a jumble of different fixes other people have tried/found so I don't take credit for that but I have not seen the exact combination which work for me elsewhere so here goes and hope it helps some would-be 4G tetherers out there.

1) Install wifi tether version 3.0-pre12 ***EXPERIMENTAL*** (you have to go to the developer homepage and search for older versions)

2) Install data enabler widget from the Market

3) Wifi tether settings: samsung galaxy S, leave setup-method alone, setup wifi encryption to your preference

4) Turn off 4G

5) Turn off data via enabler widget

6) Launch wifi tether app and turn on tethering

7) Turn on 4G antenna (leave data enabler widget off!)

8) Wait for 4G data connection to appear active in the upper right of the phone

9) Connect your device via wifi and enjoy 4G tethering

Don't know why step 7 is so important but it is...

I now can pull 5-7 Mbps easily through the phone and stream flawlessly. I also don't get the mobile IP registration error anymore. Can also phone/tether simultaneously.

Only problem I have seen with this method is that after closing tethering down, the 3G data sometimes doesn't want to kick back in. Toggling data enabler will usually fix this although one time I did have to reboot the phone.

hope this works for others too!;)

Thanks for bringing this up - there was another post regarding this here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265219

I was wondering whether anyone else has been successfully using the 4g wifi method as snappydave [OP] and these steps...

I haven't been using wifi-tether in a while (on my shabby torpedo rooted stock photon) since the google wifi 3.0 beta5

It would be nice to see the idea of being able to tether to 4g (in my area) and connect to a laptop and still use my phone to send/receive voice calls.

bottom line : does the data enabler widget and google wifi tether work well with these steps and 4g with in/out voice simultaneously? Or should I just stick with the google wifi tether on 3g and deal with the dropped connection on incoming voice calls? I can't afford to lose voice functionality - at least with the google wifi tether when I had used it, my tethered connection would drop from my laptop and then pick back up after an incoming call - sucks that I would lose the net connection - most important in case of something that requires a stable connection (e.g. video chat-skype / large file download)

Thanks to anyone in advance for further clarifications - cheers.
