I highly recommend Steinhall Oleophobic screen protectors.

With a good install, it is hard to even tell its in there. Very clear, and the feel of it is better than any others I've used. Almost as good as glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Until 2 days ago I had this on since I got my GNex back in December...

http://www.amazon.com/Rearth-Ultima...CK/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1333684536&sr=8-12

Completely clear, couldn't notice there was one on, some rainbow effect not much, Covered pretty much the whole screen. The only slight issue was that the bottom right corner did not adhere so it was off about 1mm. .

Currently I have the XO on there still waiting for 2 bubbles to dry out, almost no orange peel, but I can tell it has effected the visibility a bit. Overall pretty happy.

no screen protector here and i've been using this phone for 2 months without a scratch. It's always all by himself in my left pocket and I dont feel worried about getting a scratch.

If you want a screen protector and you'd feel better with one I suggest you the Tru brand, the feeling is really nice compared to the other brands out there that I see at my workplace...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
I'm the complete opposite of you. I purchased my nexus the week it came out and refused to put a screen protector on up until 2weeks ago. Was talked into trying one by a coworker. In those 3.5 months I've never had a single scratch. I'm a little OCD about having a perfect screen. Free of scratches and clean of fingerprints and dirt. I ended up throwing on a cheap verizon one thinking I'd be pulling it off very shortly after applying it. After putting it on damn near perfect, I started to like it. Color distortion was farely minimal and I wasn't wiping fingerprints every 20 minutes. That in itself is worth the screen protector. The protection to me is the added bonus..... I really hate fingerprints. Lol

Screen protectors are very essential and I would definitely recommend it. I had an HTC Desire for 2yrs with protector and when I sold it, it still looked absolutely new and the buyer was impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] glennv17:
I've had one on since about 2-3 weeks after I got my Nexus. My screen suffered a small nick about two days after I received it, was very frustrating at the time but it's just there now... Thought I wouldn't take the risk without one though. I only use a screen protector because I don't use a case or cover. My old Desire never had a screen protector on there and it's fine even now, but I had a slip case on it all the time. The Nexus is just too good without a case!

It sucks that I have to leave the screen protector on though, because the phone itself is the best in terms of no fingerprints or greasiness staying on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
as my philosophy is "better be safe than sorry", and knowing how even the slightest permanent scratch on the screen would bother me every time I looked at the phone, the Martin Fields screen protector does a perfect job for me.

I am also using a Bugatti XL leather pouch, fits a bit big on the sides, but it's still great.

I wish Google would continue to include that neoprene pouch that came with the Nexus One...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
I don't use screen protectors. They make your screen look hideous. Everyone always says they found a screen protector that doesn't look like crap... And I always wonder what they've been smoking. I am cautious with my phone, but I paid lot of money for this beautiful hd screen, I'll be god damned if I'm gonna ruin it with a grainy looking screen protector. IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skrazz:
2 micro scratches into my GNex. This is not the same surface as the Galaxy S. It WILL scratch. Protect ya neck and enjoy this supreme piece of hardware!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hbkmog:
Nobody's smoking. There are quality screen protectors that you can barely tell it's there. If you have spent a lot of money on the phone, you will really be damned if it gets a permanent scratch just because of your bias.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitemare3219:
I'm curious if using a thick case (such as the Otterbox Defender) will help prevent scratches tremendously without a protector since the screen is never touching anything? Unless of course something is small enough to directly rub against it and is hard enough to scratch at the same time. I feel like this would reduce the chance of say, a piece of sand scratching the screen in your pocket or something.

I've fallen too much in love with the display. I have some 3M Vikuiti screen protectors on the way. I've heard they don't fit 100%, but I don't care since my screen is covered somewhat by the case. As long as it doesn't distort, I'm fine with it :cool:.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hinds90:
I had a screen protector on since I left verizon with the gnex until a week ago. I asked myself a couple of times why do people say this screen is so nice because at the time I thought it was pretty sub par. Now after I took the screen protector off the screen is beautiful plus it feels a lot better.

I will still put a screen protector back on just one of the better ones because I may sale the gnex one day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Had a screen protector on from December to March but took it off just being that it was peeling and just turning to crap. The screen looked so much better and after a week no scratches but I had to put a screen protector back on because I was way too paranoid I would get a scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssglackey:
I had a small scratch on 3rd day, so I bought oleophobic screen protector that cost 3x more than normal one. It is really almost invisible, you can only see it because it is smaller than screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ughis:
I don't use a screen protector. When I got my first android phone (SGS) I thought about using one but decided that I'm likely to buy a new phone before I scratch the screen so bad it bothers me.

I've had my gnex for 1 week, no scratches, I check it every day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I think if you have a case for the nexus you don't really need a screen protector. Removed mine two days ago and I'm very impressed how much the handling of the touchscreen is better w/o a screen protector. Also you don't need to clean the screen like every 5 minutes. Without the screen protector the screen looks always very clean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
Until that grain of sand plays DJ Premier on that 4.65 inches of AMOLED.

Sure its always going to be better not having one, looks wise and feel. Some people prefer it, some don't. I always have a SP on all my phones, just me.

From my experience... definitely NOT!

Hard to apply, without bubbles near impossible. Feels... tacky. Rainbow effects. I'm gonna stick with SGP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
Right. This is like when people make a mixed drink and then claim "you can barely taste the alcohol!" I can always taste the alcohol. Always. And most of the time it's not even that subtle.

As for "it's better to be safe than sorry"... Yeah, I'm going to put a slab of film over my screen-- consequently making the whole thing look hideous-- so I don't get a scratch that may or may not be noticeable at all. I'll never buy that logic :rolleyes:

I've never gotten a scratched screen on ANY phone I've owned (G1, MyTouch4g, G2, SGS, and a Droid Charge). Even if I did, I wouldn't trade the day to day quality of my ENTIRE screen for a little resale value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rand4ll:
I do not use protectors or cases on any of my phones. I like the feeling of a naked phone personally. Cases add too much bulk or make slipping in and out of pocket too hard. And I also agree that screen protectors just never feel right. Had my fascinate for months without one and tried out a zagg on it, it lasted three days before I removed it.

I personally don't care about resale as I never sell my old phones. My fascinate was beatup on the back but screen was perfect when I got my charge. I handed that phone down to my sister. I just got the gnex one week ago when I had a motorcycle accident with my charge in my pocket. Rear of phone destroyed as well as battery, oddly enough the screen made it out in perfect condition even though the phone would work no more.

Now my gnex will remain caseless and screen protectorless until either something happens to it or I hand it off to someone when I get my next phone.

If you are the type of person that needs one or wants one or even thinks you need one then go for it for just your own piece of mind IMO.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Not the best idea......the Galaxy Nexus curved screen makes it difficult for most dry apply screen protectors. And super cheap ones make screen quality really bad, screen will look really grainy especially on white backgrounds etc...

Get a wet applied screen protector. I'd recommend XO Skins or whatever else has been getting good reviews. There are a few, but I only have the XO skins so thats all I can vouch for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pitflyer:
This is almost like a PC vs Mac discussion. Put me into the 'no screen protector' camp, though I bought a case that's folio type and protects the screen when its in my pocket, etc. In use I like the naked screen. No censorship lol

I bought a pack of 10 off ebay for £1.99, just like i do with every phone i buy.

I applied it the day i received them (Dec, 2011), and it's been perfect until recently when i noticed it was abit scratched.

There were no bubbles, no orange peel effect, and it was easy to fit, under 2 minutes from taking off my old one to cleaning the screen and fitting the new one.

Changed it a few days ago for a new one, and it's back to new again.

I actually find that my fingers glide over the screen protector better than on the screen its self.

I really don't see the point in buying a £9.99 screen protector when the 20p each alternatives do the job for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jss2:
I've had the phone since the day it was released, and at first I didn't have any screen protector. After 3 and a half months or so, I got my first scratch. It's not a major scratch, but I decided to put on a XO skin screen protector. It took a couple of days to get used to the feel of the screen protector, but now that I've been using it for a couple of weeks, I think it's great. And it filled in the minor scratch I had already gotten. :)

[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
So for all I know, a simple contact back up via Titanium or some other means will help to resolve this but in the past, I've always just sync'd contacts via Google and never really seemed to have any issues..

But for many of us who use other social networks like FBook, Voxer, Twitter, etc.. (and especially for those of us who flash weekly, monthly, etc), going back through and re-syncing all of the "Contacts Found" and applying those social networking associations is less than ideal.

Everytime I re-flash and sync my Google contacts, I have to manually add them back to FB/Twitter/etc.

Are there any easier ways of going about doing this besides manually re-confirming all of them? Ideally, a back up solution that would maintain and REMEMBER who has what social networking affiliations would be easiest.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a guide out yet to debrand the One S I'm assuming that the prequists will be the same as the sensation ie you will have to S-off first
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
hmm since there are already first methods out there for root, i would suggest that you can simply root the phone and then either uninstall branding-apps and change bootscreen or flashing a new ROM.

Until now, there is no official/final RUU for the One S out there, at least as far as I know.

But my question for this matter:

Can I simply unroot a branded One S just like the original? Or is there anything about the HBOOT or I don't know, that is reason for not even trying cause of brick risk?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M0sca:
My goal for doing all this, rooting and controlling the device, is two-fold:

First, to get additional functionality out of the Kindle Fire; I want the Android Market apps available, and a better interface, but at the same time, I want the pleasure of Amazon Prime; I want to be able to de-root and enjoy the streaming video.

Second, to understand a new thing, even superficially through its actions rather than through studying it in depth; it is fun to find out about a device.

So far, although I have rooted the Kindle Fire by following the steps in kinfauns' excellent tutorial, I have failed in both of my goals, and the reason is interdependent on both of their failings. By not understanding fully, I have failed to get additional functionality... and by not getting additional functionality, I have failed to understand what I have done!

When I tried to install the Google extras through KFU, permissions were denied. So I sideloaded Google Play, it started, and I created an account, and everything worked until I tried to download and install an app and it shut down. and now, it doesn't restart, "The application Google Play Store... has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

But how to get OTA Rootkeeper? I downloaded it on my phone, and then sideloaded it to the Kindle. It installed, and started, but instead of the list of options under status, like shown in the instructional videos, all that is shown is a button to "Protect root".

Ah. My lack of knowledge prevents my understanding. I'm certain that sideloading is leaving something behind on my phone, but of course "certain" isn't the same as "right", seeing as how "certain" is a feeling. Would an extra mind help? Is there an extra mind willing to help?

Thank you!

Solved. Thanks, ndpete!
