Thanks for the review pal, I myself use a cheap anti-glare matte screen protector I got from eBay (I'm talking cheap, like, a couple bucks for 3), and was interested to see how it amounted to a supposedly higher-end screen protector

Right off the bat I can see the difference in packaging - mine was sent to me in the form of a letter, with the screen protectors sealed in a clear plastic slip inside the envelopes, both sides with even more clear plastic that is only removed upon application.

I'm most interested in the liquid solution they provide for you to put between the screen and the protector upon application since it seems to be pretty useful (I just wiped my screen down with rubbing alcohol, let it dry, and used my DSLR airblower to get any dust or lint off of the screen, then applied the protector with a card as the squeegee. Pretty ghetto, but it gets the job done :p

If you want a smoother texture with your screen protector, try a matte anti-glare one, it'll leave a tiny bit of pixel distortion on the screen but I simply can't use any other kind of screen protector after trying the matte ones :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] shirazir:
I'm not sure the solution does any more than allowing the adhesive to "loosen up" while you apply the screen protector.

As for the matte eBay screen protectors, I'm a huge fan! I bought a bunch for my Blackberry back in the day and they're:

- cheap

- perfect tactile feeling for touchscreens

- great at cutting down glare

Personally, I'd recommend cheapo screen protectors as they do the job without all the frills of something like this.

Wow! Nice write up! Although I'm a fan of zagg, everything you mentioned is true.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
ive bought and applied 4 zagg's to mine and my gf's amaze, and they've all turned out ****e.

im not a fan of the dry applications because its near impossible to do it immaculately, and the wet application seems to stay hazy.

after 4 attempts i just drove to the mall and bough ghost armor, best $20 ive spent on this phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I like almost everything about the stock email app. One thing that really bugs me is a word correction bug for the keyboard, Swype.

Typically with Swype when you see a word that's wrong, you tap it, it becomes highlighted, and a list of suggestions pops up for replacements. If none of the suggested words are correct, you swype it again and it replaces the highlighted word.

However in the email app, the word is not replaced, but another word is inserted wherever the cursor is. Then if you tap elsewhere, you get a word inserted wherever you tapped. So to edit text, you have to manually move the cursor to the end of the word you want to replace, delete it, then re-type or re-swype it.

Anyone else bugged by this? It doesn't happen anywhere else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
for me this happens not only in email, it happens in messages too! as i see it it's some sort of bug which occurs after a while of usage. after a reboot it works again as it should (highlights the selected word, replaces it with the choosen one)...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
Interesting. I never use Messages (I use Handcent instead) so I've never seen it there. The bug isn't erratic for me; it never works properly in Email.

Edit: Actually I just tested my stock messaging app and I don't have the bug there.

BTW, this bug has persisted from stock whatever was on the phone back at the beginning of November when I unboxed it through now, with LA4 on it.

First root your phone with flashtol*latest is the best.

Then download busybox.apk it-s installer for busybox. Install busy box using file manager. Then download E15i xrecovery installer.apk. and install them using file manager. You must to accept superuser notification to install busybox and xrecovery. You will get SUPERUSER ON PHONE AFTER ROOT!

Whoa if you want to install gxp 23 you will need unlocked bootloader and alfs kernel and this is a risky procedure.also v23 has some bugs.. I recommend that you install Gingerxperia v22 which works with stock kernel (you first need to root, install busybox and xrecovery like the others said) remember, before installing a new rom make sure you create backup of your current one, in case sth goes wrong...

WiFi problem

Morning all

I woke up today to find that my wifi is no longer working.....

If I factory reset, then wifi works fine. The only problem is then I loose all my settings & apps, & Android Market is not working, prob because it has up graded to Google Play now.

Has anyone else had this problem or is there a fix somewhere......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
I started using a new ROM today and it uses only Trebucet launcher which I'm having problems with a change of LCD_DENSITY.... I can't increase the number of icons showing on homescreen and this bothers me a bit.

What are my options using ICS 4.0.3 for a highly customizable and well-performing launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Nova launcher. You should be able to find it the galaxy nexus themes and apps section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Just bumped it up for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
Nova Launcher seems like its the farthest ahead in options and I've used it before... Guess I'll settle in on it :p thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
ADW.Launcher updated for ICS too.

Sent from Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
Doesn't that cost money though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slegrand:
I am currently testing ApexLauncher I have NovaLauncher installed as well and while Nova Launcher seems further along I find that I am really liking Apex so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
SPB now works on the Nexus ...... quite expensive though.

Used to love it on my old winmo 6.5 phone but I can't warm to it any more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
SPB was a great launcher back when 2.1 and 2.2 were just hitting but now Shell 3D is behind in options, performance, and honestly its not that impressive anymore. I unfortunately bought it at $15 a while ago and have been asking for a refund because I didn't have it installed for more than a few hours. I ended up hating it in the end thanks to the price and because of that I have no interest in purchasing a launcher anymore. Had there been a commitment to keep improving it, I might be using it now but SPB is doing a ****ty job of that.

I checked out Apex launcher and its missing a lot of options compared to Nova.

I also tested out launcher pro on here, fast, but again missing a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slegrand:
Yea apex is missing a lot. I am pretty minimalistic so it doesn't bother me too much for now but that will probably change lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
I use Go Launcher EX and I really like it. Has the stock look and feel with added control and features. One nice ability is to increase the widget grid from 4x4 to 10x10 to give you more control.

Also at 280dpi with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilskywalker:
For sheer choice of options ADW Launcher is your best bet. If you are running your Nexus at 240dpi though you might want to check out NovaLauncher_beta13 as this is working very well at this density currently! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
This is exactly why I like NovaLauncher the best. I am using a high LCD density and NovaLauncher by far has worked the best with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Higher than 320?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
The lower the value for LCD Density, the higher the "actual" density....kinda like how gauge works with guns/wire

My LCD Density value is 280 versus the stock 320 resulting in a sudo-higher resolution
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I see.

Hey guys,

In an attempt to root my 10.1 Verizon 4g LTE, I ended up deleting stuff and resetting everything. Now it asks for SIM activation.

Do you guys have any other idea how to bypass the SIM activation?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
In all the LTE flashing I've done thus far I haven't had an issue like this on my tab. Then again I've never tried flashing any other ROMs than those identified as specific for this tab either (which basically amounts to just the liquidspeed one and the leaked 3.2).

At this point it's not clear if you're on a restored stock ROM or you're using something else since as Tdiliplane pointed out you haven't provided enough information.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Boolean:
More info

Thanks for looking into it. Here is more info:

I have Galaxy Tab 10.1, Verizon 4g LTE version. A couple of weeks ago it updated itself to Android 3.2. I tried rooting it so I could install TouchScreenTune.

Not sure what went wrong, but I was not able to connect to wifi. I decided to do a factory reset.

When the tab restarted, it asked for the sim card. The problem is that I don't have a sim card and I would like to just bypass this message and use the tab as a wifi device.

I read in this forum and others that pushing volume up and down combination or touching the four corners + volume up bypasses the sim card prompt, but this did not work for me.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Ok now that makes sense and I'm not sure how to help you.

You're basically on stock Verizon ROM right now and it sounds like it's going through the default setup scripts when it's booting up since you did a factory reset.

Maybe one of the other guys out there that has this tab without SIM can chime in, personally I have a data plan so I'm of no help. I'm wondering if flashing one of the stock ROMs for the verizon tab from this site via odin would be helpful or if those too are going to ask for a SIM card.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXiled Killah:
Well, this may sound obvious, but any chance you have a Verizon 4G phone with a micro sim or know someone that does? I've swapped my RAZR micro with my tablet from time to time without issue. As far as I can tell the tablet only goes through the SIM Activation on first setup/new ROM. Once the activation check is done you can run the tablet without the SIM even inserted... I've done that too... just using WiFi instead... just to see what would happen if I decide to cancel VZW services.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Boolean:
... nope, I have ATT on my phone, I tried usiing but it didn't work... and I don't know anyone who used verision 4G... I will probably go to a verizon store to see what they say.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Boolean:
This is just weird.

I went to a Verison store. They were really nice. The gave me a new card! they wanted to help by I had to leave. So I came back home inserted the card, about 10 minutes later it says: "There is a problem activaiting your tablet. Please restart and try again, or contact customer service."

I restarted a million time in vain.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXiled Killah:
The Sim card they gave you may not have been activated or linked to an active account...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Boolean:
"people are bloody ignorant apes" ESTRAGON, Waiting for Godot.

I got it to work. I WAS able to bypass the activation message by tapping the four corners of the SCREEN + volume up. The first time I read about this the guy said touch the top left corner, right corner.... of the tab. Ignorant me, I was touching the external corners of the tab. Till I re-read detials of this method on another forum that explicitly says touch the )(*&^^%%$$#@@@ screen.

Can somebody upload a video showing the activation bypass process ? I think I am doing it well tapping on the four corners of the SCREEN (not the frame) , top left, top right , bottom left (as if i tap back android control), bottom right (as if I tap on the battery status) and then press volume up once, but it only ends increasing the volume ....

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youtashiro:
Well , never found an easy way (aka secret code or buttons combination) to bypass activation screen on this thing. What I had to to is to root the device, then oppening settings tab with help of the phisycal OEM keyboard then going to about tablet/legal information/open code licences and selecting any text from there then from the upper menu select web search so you get to the web browser so you can google for Home Manager apk , install it and run it, now just select launcher from the app (make sure to set ti as default) and it will get you straight to the home screen where you can now access all device's features and menus but there is still a last step, go to the play store, search for and install titanium backup and freeze or remove UICCActivation process so it wont ever asks for activation again (unless you restore your tab again) and you will be able to fully use your unactivated tablet now. If someone finds an easier method for bypassing activation on this model on android 3.2+ would be great to have it posted here.

Thanks everybody for your replys. I could fix the problem by upgrading my SuperUser app.

In su app, i was getting a notification that su binary is out of date and when i used to hit the option to update the su binary from SU app settings, it used to fail.
