My prime will be carried around without a dock most of the time. I was thinking however, that although I will have it in a leather case, that there still might be a chance that the aluminum backplate will suffer from scuffs and scratches. Can anyone who already has received their Prime say how sensitive the aluminum backplate is to scratches?

I am contemplating a clear skin to put over the aluminum backplate (Skinomi or something else??) Do you guys think that it would be necessary if the prime is kept inside a leather case? If so, what are our options to consider?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
I made a clear skin for mine just went to a sign shop and bought clear vinyl 10ft 5$

Apply with water and wait to dry. so much cheaper then the other brands. and it does not show finger prints at all.

The white bubbles will disappear in a few days they said

it gives it some grip to for the back. very cheap very easy. It would work on the front as well but I do not want to put it on there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Updated photo.. its getting better!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] val1121:
That's pretty cool. Did you go to the sign shop and ask for vinyl or does it have a specific name?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
Clear vinyl thats all I asked for.. its more for putting over finished digital work.

Is that adhesive vinyl? If it regular vinyl, how did you get it to adhere? I've haven't been able to find anywhere in my town that carries the adhesive clear kind.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tr.slate:
try your local sign or print shop. its the same type of stuff they make store window lettering and other stuff from. i didnt make that one, but im fairly sure that is made from the adhesive type. you could maybe make one with another color. just be careful because the adhesive is rated in years. so unless you want it to be permanent dont get adhesive vinyl rated at like 20 years. because it lasts 20 years...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
this is 10 year Adhesive clear. but it is also 2.5mm think instead of 1mm thick
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
Did you by chance make a template that you wouldn't mind sharing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] val1121:
Well. I don't think it's the adhesive vinyl. From what MrGiggles has described, I think it's the Static Cling Vinyl. You apply by spraying the backing with water or water/detergent mix. I ordered "Grafix Static Cling Sign Vinyl" from DICKBLICK.COM. Sorry I can't post the link but you can google it.

Oops. Sorry didn't read this before I posted. Looks like I ordered something different. I thought yours was removable which what I needed. The vinyl I ordered is removable and reusable. It won't arrive until Jan 4. For $3.75, it's worth a try.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SpikeJones123:
How much thicker is this than a skinomi skin? I saw on another forum on XDA that people were having issues with their docks because of how thick their back skin was. Do you, or anyone else that has used vinyl to cover the backplate, have a dock? If so, how is it fitting?

I measured with a Caliper it is 1.2mm without backing so with backing it is 2.5 I guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I have the dock and plan on cutting out the very small spots where a skin would get screwed up. Even a screen protector gets screwed up by the dock, so it has to be accounted for if you have one, just fill.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SpikeJones123:
Sorry, I am a little confused by your reply. Are you saying you are cutting tiny parts away from the bottom of the back skin? Or the front screen protector? And what do you mean buy, "just fill?"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Gosh I'm sorry. Dang auto fill and dang me for not proof reading. "just fill" should have been "just fyi"

What I was trying to say is that even a very thin screen protector gets messed up when using the dock. So anyone planning on getting a skin for the backplate might want to account for the need to do a little trimming because I'm also most certain the dock will scrunch it up if you don't trim around where the tablet fits onto the dock. I don't have a skin on the back or a screen protector on yet but my friend checked out my dock and the very first thing it did screwed up his screen protector (it scrunched up at two of the connector points - so maybe it's just at those two points where it's the tightest) - it bunched up around there.

So I'm figuring that whenever I do find a skin I like, I will likely trim the bottom of the backplate skin to account for the dock. Yes, I'd rather it serve as a protector against scratches, but if I take all the time to get it on there just right only to have the dang dock squish it up....I might as well trim it off to begin with.

I tried making my own with cling wrap. It didn't work at all. I REALLY like the vinyl. I just need to find some. I see where they are now selling a $15 version of the clear front and back skinomi (different brand, looks the same) but the vinyl looks soooo good and easy with the water application (and disappearing bubbles!)

If someone has asked this and I missed it I apologize - just how forgiving is the vinyl? And if I want to take it off, what kind of mess am I left with :o?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SpikeJones123:
Thank you for the very helpful response! I understand now!

I think I too will be getting vinyl, for the backplate at least. I will probably be getting the same static cling vinyl from dickblick that val1121 did. It looks good. But what really is the difference between static cling and adhesive vinyl? I just decided on the static one, because I can't find the adhesive anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patrick848:
I would like to try kanging CM9 for the CDMA Galaxy Nexus, but I'm running into some troubles...

I've built CM7 for a couple phones, but they all already had CM7 installed so I was able to run the extract-files script to grab proprietary files from the phones. I was wondering what exactly does the script, uhh, do? Like, what files does it pull, where do they go, and is there another place to find them other than on the phone?

I understand that only the graphics binaries are currently available for the Toro for 4.0.3, but is there another place that I could find the LTE binaries? (And anything else that I don't have?) That is assuming that the extract-files script only gets those files anyways. And for other devices, say the Galaxy Tab 10.1, where would I find those files?

Thanks!

I want to test grand theft auto on here but it's not compatible in the market for the nexus. I've done this before but with the upgrade to ICS I've lost the drivers. Does anybody remember how to do this
[Nexus S General] simms22:
oops..

memory is going, im getting old :(
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Not calling you a liar but i don't see how u can install as far as market is concerned its not compatible not to mention it doesn't show up when you search. BTW im in same region, im in Massachusetts

BUT you do like to use new custom ROMS so maybe you have a market version we don't.

I'm using stock 4.0.3/market 3.4.4

It doesnt show when searching market but anyone can find it if they search from internet browser. Click on link and select market to open.....it will say in bold *your device isn't compatible with item* and you cant download

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3

I have installed but used another method that we cant discuss

Tricking Market into thinking you have another phone you need to edit your build.prop....were it shows your phone change to another

I haven't tested

also make sure you pick a phone with same hardware....any galaxy s phone since most 3D games are developed with GPU in mind

If you decide to pick a non sgx540 device like snapdragon or tegra you could always use chainfire3D to but doesn't always work.

I tried to prevent my phone from updating to 6.2.1 by changing /system/etc/otacerts.zip to /system/etc/otacerts.zip.bak. When I did this it rebooted into CWM and looks for update.zip (i renamed it b/c i didn't need it). now it loops because I can't choose to anything other than install update.zip

ADB won't find the device so I can't rename the file or push a new one. I built a factory cable which appears to work but I still can't see my KF. When I run lsusb it shows 1949:0006 Lab126 as the device.

Any ideas?

using Ubuntu 10.10

I can adb shell now. however, no adb functions seem to work. Anyone know how I can keep cwm from hi-jacking my boot? I would gladly go stock to get going again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Hey all,

I was just wondering whether there is a fix for such error running on the latest MIUI build from their website. Whenever I turn on my phone, I would receive this message saying Preparing SD card, then it would jump into SD Card Safe to Remove. The phone cannot mount the SD card manually from Settings as the same thing will happen again. I am sure the memory card is not corrupt as both the internal SD card (16gb) and my external SD card (32gb) are both recognized in CWM recovery, although when selecting install from internal SDcard from recovery, it goes into the external.

Hope someone knows how to resolve this issue!

Thanks,

Nicholas
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you got the rom from their site then your best bet would be to ask on their site. No MIUI development is done here. Only translations
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
mmmm alright thanks (Y)

But just for other people, they released a fixed version of the ROM on the MIUI main site, not the MIUI.us site, that fixed my problem :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjd2011:
Hey guys, just got my phone yesterday. This thing is blazing fast compared to my OC'd DINC in terms of processing power. However, my 3G speeds suck! My DINC would consistently be 1.5 mbps down and 500kbps up at my house. With the Nexus my very best has been 600kbps up. I have my friend's Droid Pro right next to my Nexus getting a full mbps faster than me.

This is a big deal for me as I only get 3G half the time I use my phone.

I am on the stock OS and kernel with unlocked bootloader and root. I also have CDMA only enabled.

NOTE THESE SPEEDS ARE IN KBPS

Edited to explain these speeds are not good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
So you get 100kbit better speeds upstream and that's bad? Sounds like you are just limited by whatever signal you get in your area as the 1.5 down is still not max for a dinc.

Edit: Sorry I couldn't see your screenshot in tapatalk had to paste the image shack URL into a browser, i was going from what you said. Those are some crap speeds. Try getting a new SIM from your carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
It can be really hard to know if it's better or worse. There are so many variables that come into play like the congestion on the tower/network and congestion on the server your conducting the speed test on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You don't need a new SIM if your EVDO speeds suck, you just.. are kind of SoL. I'm surprised you see 1.5 mpbs on your Incredible though, my EVDO speeds in Chicago were awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
This is about the Max speed I can get where I live, Orange UK

View attachment 827673

Would you say that's a decent speed ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
3m down is really good at least where I live, on the old 05/02 radio best I saw was 1.9 down now with the 06/04 radios I'm averaging about 2-2.5m down 1m up

**added an ss from just now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
OP is talking about CDMA on Verizon. Which is never going to do any better than 1.5mbps or so.

Those speeds you're getting aren't great. But I'd just ask other users on the network where you live.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjd2011:
Sorry about that, I reposted the picture. Again, this is from a CDMA Nexus. My friend who has his nexus is consistently over 1mbps. However, his dad who has a Nexus is in the same boat as me.

Really baffled by this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I thonk 3.2 mbps is the best you can do on verizon iirc.

I have the same problem, I made a thread about this on droid forums here:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ga...ns/189683-signal-sucks-verizon-you-wrong.html

Compared to my old Droid X and a family members Droid RAZR my Galaxy Nexus doesn't even get HALF the speed and VERY crappy signal with constant dropped calls and trouble with data. Switching from Wi-fi to 3g takes from a couple of minutes to having to reboot the phone completely just for 3g to activate! This problem NEEDS to be fixed, verizon's solution to just increase the bars visually is a slap in the face to us experiencing this problem!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bec de Xorbin:
1. P500 is a cheap and crappy phone compared to eg. Samsung Galaxy S2 or, hell, ANYTHING that is on market ATM

2. P500 has a 600 MHz processor. Even my toaster has a better one.

3. All these super duper scripts have "PLACEBO" written all over them

4. To get the best out of your phone, in MY opinion, use mik_os CM7 6.6.1 and latest franco.Kernel .35

5. You are a noob so I recommend you just leave it as is

3. Correct.

4. Correct.

5. Correct.

He is joking... we have a bad processor, though.

OT: download the PDF (dont change to .sh) nd open it using script manager. Wait till **** is over, press return and scroll up. Option Super UL would be the best for you.

There is still alot of untapped resources we have for this phone,. It doesn't have a snapdragon or any double core processors and is only 200mhz faster than 2008's HTC G1. The thing with technology is, its always changing, what's new now (SGS2/SAMSUNG GN) isn't new tomorrow, I've been using android since 2008 and can still remember when flashing and even rooting took alot more knowledge than just using an application that does it for you. If you want more from you phone, I would suggest a good kernel, specifically a 35 kernel as it's best for faster performance but battery life is not as good.. Popdog has just released oxygen 2.1,it's fast and has virtually no bugs.. Also bytecode is only days away from releasing OMFGB, which is a 32 kernel but will probably be one of the best available. With all of this being said, if you want a better phone, get something with either a snapdragon or tegra2 processor, I've heard of tegra3 being released shortly and also get a phone with more ram

Samsung needs to release fewer phones and support them longer. If they had a single phone at a time in the high, medium and low end segments they would have far less effort keeping them updated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiantrel:
Don't agree, if samsung begins to release fewer phones or in fact any of the other manufacturers of androi, we will loose the edge over th iphone, the greatest quality of android is variety, with fewer phones that goes nowhere, even if we don't get an official rom from samsung we can always flash an AOSP of ICS, there are really good ones right now.
