[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nightcrawlerbr:
People are under the wrong impression that the shatter protection is for the screen itself.

Of course it helps as glass is more sticky and the plastic sheet feels better under the thumb. But the protection is for the user. A phone using Gorilla Glass can fall and shatter the lower part of the screen and no problem, the shattering glass is protected by Gorilla Glass on top, and its flexible, as is the film on Xperias (of course it isn't so scratch proof, but I never had any scratches on mine).

If a mineral glass screen shatters, it may send flying pieces of sharp glass all over, injuring the user or anyone around. So, they put that film on top of the glass, if the glass shatters, the film will hold the pieces together preventing injury. Think of that if you have kids for example, before you remove the film.

Sony wouldn't "force you to use a screen protector", its simply the only way a screen like that (and ALL its benefits) can be used safely.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -shaMe-:
My sola is 2 months old.. Removed it without any hesitation and TBH... The screen is so smooth and 0% sticky or residue leftover.. I'm happy :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _StIwY_:
Covers......protection films.........all those protection are useless for me. I like enjoy smartphone just as they are.....just remember to insert smartphones on empty pockets, without keys or coins or whatever can scratch.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
So I finally scratched my screen after having the phone for almost 7 months. Dropped the damn thing in my car and it slid down to the side of the seat where the rails are. The rail must have scratched the front of the screen. Not really bad mind you, but enough to piss me off. The digitizer prices should go down on this phone though and I should be able to pick one up cheap next year to replace it if i feel the need. Still its worth the risk because screen protectors blow.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I removed my protector today because I had same accident yesterday. Dropped the phone in my car and scratched screen protector really bad on same way, but fortunately screen is untouched after removing protector. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah you are lucky, my scratch annoys me because I am ocd. Its pretty much invisible unless you are in a room with mass lighting though, so i can deal with it. Its only been a day though, so the annoyance is fresh. Still I hate screen protectors and dont regret my decision. I only wish that you could buy the digitizer seperately to replace it. Its damn expensive to buy the screen assembly right now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] woldya:
If U remove it-

Hey people! I just want to let U know - if U remove screen protector, U will have incorrect touch recognition when connect USB or headphones and will be very hard to clean up display out of fingerprints!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
Sola has also problem with touch reaction when on charger (I have screenprotector on) - I *hate* that. But in the case of Sola I think it is caused by the floating touch (or glove mode) :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] woldya:
Screen protector on??? ((( what do I do now, I thinked if I'll apply it on screen, all should be ok(((
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
I think it shouldn't make any difference... But my problem can be exclusive for Sola (floating touch)...

I have a rooted GN (Sprint) and have the wifi hotspot app from google. Works perfect but for ****s and giggles I just tried to enable the built in Hotspot on my phone...and it worked?? I called sprint and they said I did not have the add on and it should not be working. My question is when I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, did I unblock the hotspot and allow it to be used with no penalty from Sprint?

If someone would get back to me I would appreciate it greatly and pass out some thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
I don't see how the built in tethering could be blocked by you having it on your plan or not. The most I could see happening would be redirecting web requests to a page asking you to add it, or you getting a phone call from Sprint after using it. Your phone doesn't know what your plan is, so why would it not allow you to turn on the built in tethering feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerjames09:
well on my E4GT SII, When I tried to use my hotspot it would just not allow me to connect anything to it. With this one on the GNex, it allows me to connect my devices to it and use data, but without redirection or anything else. So paranoia is setting in and I dont want to see rediculous charges, but since I never received any warning so I guess they cannot charge me for anything.

Thanks for the info.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DLD511:
Envy you!!!

Lucky you. Since your rooted I guess it ignores your limitations on your plans. How bout you test something else that your not allowed to use due to plan limitations if there are any others.

If so.... I hate you!!! I wanna bypass the limitations!!!!! DX

BUT NICE!!!

P.S. I JUST TRIED ACTIVATING MY HOTSPOT ON MY VERIZON GALAXY NEXUS AND IT WORKED!!!! And it is not on the the plan. Also depending on ur Rom, some roms bypass the restrictions, allowing you free access to this wonderful and magical feature!!! Use freely with no worries but overages, but you got sprint, so ur worry free!!!

So to conclude. Use it and don't tell your carrier with out fear of being billed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
They can tell when it is being used..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DLD511:
Really?!?!?! O_o

Did they tell you that??? Cuz I know ur not getting billed unless u said ur doing or asking to check if you are using it.

On my Carrier they never told me once I was using it or billed me. And I've been using an app that just breaks the restrictions as long as it's open. So Verizon should see me using it unauthorize.

I know they can tell you. But the real question is, will you get billed if you never mention you are using???

Cuz I've done my research on this a few months back and they never bill you unless u ask em about and actually dig in and see that specific thing.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Solehria:
I am on Chobits Digital v2 rom and when i got to setting and software update it tells me there is an update for my mobile so if i update will i go back to stock rom or what will happen??

plz can any one tell me thanks!!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] anasdcool71:
My advice would be not to update or else your phone may brick....it's an update to stock rom and not the custom rom....

if you installed it, you will be rebooted and will have a message "cannot install software update file" or something like that
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] neilerzzzz:
No. That doesn't work for Custom ROMS. It is for Stock ROM. Your phone will may be bricked or bootlooped when you try updating it. In my case, i didn't use that but i tried kies but kies doesn't detect my phone because i'm not using stock ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.

so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
Download drivers. Go to rootgalaxynore.com for video and links to drivers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
on the phone go to the site? because ive already re-downloaded the drives and that did not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
Just flash stock then redo root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icce007:
I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.

Are you in download mode on your Note?

"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.

2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."

IF not working, recommend starting from scratch

Use this first to get back to stock

Then root via

or this

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
i only have cwm recovery on my phone. havent reached root yet, was not able to transfer superuser-zip file to phone because computer not recognizing phone via usb. and as i said i have tried many time installing drivers and kies. but still not working.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
If you see yellow in odin you can undo instructions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
i used odin to put cwm and thats it and i want to finishing rooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JB calhoun:
Dl the tar files and use odin to root use ro super one click would root ur phone but i dont think it works anymore ..i used odin myself look in the general thread for the root tar its in there then click pda on odin select the prooer tar file and u will be stock rooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icce007:
You need to root first via odin then install cwm

Reverse what you did using odin or odin back to stock then start from scratch following my previous post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
this is how i rooted and stopped after cwm mod was put on.

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/

because the computer would not recognize phone after installing cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

Dl att recovery b4 file hook ur phone to odin...it very simple

sent from team perfections ics rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icce007:
Question is did you tried to reconnect using odin?

At what point does the computer not recognize? in android or Odin?

Can you even boot into android?

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %$@ so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nthknd:
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
If you can't access a computer.

I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.

With the phone turned OFF

Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON

When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.

If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshmingus:
yes exactly, this is what i can do and only this right now. phone works fine. and i can get into cwm. i downloaded busybox now and it says i do not have root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
See if you can download this from your browser.

DropBox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r11scfx1ez62scw/Superuser-i717-ICS-signed.zip

Save it to your SD card, go into CWM, Choose the file and flash it.. called

If you can get that to your phone and flash it with CWM you will have ROOT.

If you can't get it to download, PM me your email and i'll send it as an attachment.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
If all else fails, get airdroid from the market. You can put the superuser zip on your sd that way. Boot into cwm and install zip. Reboot and install busybox. It will ask for root access. Grant it access. You are now rooted.

Yup. Similar. I actually just used it cause I was too lazy to grab my cord. Lol. You just open it up and put the IP address in your browser.

I plug the phone in and it opens the 'what do I want to do' screen and then closes it right away. And then just keeps doing this over and over every few seconds. Anyone else notice this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I've had mixed results. Earlier today at work, on my Win7 machine, I plugged that bad boy up and it immediately found the phone and loaded the drivers. The phone then appeared in Windows Explorer as "EVO" and when clicked on, expanded to show the contents of the memory accessible to the user. There is about 10 gb free on my phone.

At home now, is a different story. I'm running XP Pro and can't seem to get the right drivers installed. I'm tinkering with it now but am not sure what to expect. I've also installed Airdroid, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

Update: Still no joy getting MTP to work, so I tried Airdroid and it works beautifully.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thenags:
Next dumb question of the night. Where do ringtones go on this thing since they don't go on the SD card like with the Evo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
You should see a folder called sdcard. It's the name given to the 10 gigs or so available to us. If you have a physical sd card, I think it's call ext/sdcard or something like that. Anyway, there is a "ringtones" folder in the sdcard folder.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
I think HTC stated that file mounting on the evo lte is different than the one x. If you wanna transfer files, im pretty sure you have to use HTC sync. If you have a memory card though, that should be able to mount as a removable device.

hope i helped
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thenags:
Hmmm. I see that in Astro but not when I plug it in
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
It seems like all I can do is select HTC Sync. :confused::confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Munkeymon:
It's still a bug and should be reported. I plugged my 3D into the same cable on the same hub and it was able to dump the whole SD card over that connection, so there's something wrong with the E4GLTE if it can't handle the same setup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raiderep:
I have a 32gb card and mounted as a disk drive just fine. HTC sync is for internal storage maybe?

It put it as /sdcard2 in my brothers phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
depending on how you're looking at it, it will either be listed as /sdcard2/ or as ext-sdcard

they both mean the same thing. the /sdcard/ by itself is internal.

any ringtones you want to put in need to be in a /ringtones/ folder, doesn't matter whether you make it in the internal or external available space

same thing goes for /alarms/ and /notifications/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
You can put them on your sd card no problem. I transfered all my music over to my 32GB card on my computer last night and all was fine. Hooked up my 3D and also my LTE and just dragged the folders/files in windows explorer across the two drives fine...

Then to assign the ringtone that's on the extra sdcard(the one I put music on and didn't come with the device), all you have to do is when presented ringtone options click add and you should see the list of songs in there u added.....

Actually now I think of it, I went into HTC music player and got it to see the music before I did that too...

Also had google music sync up and download everything for offline use too but I don't think they showed up after I did that personally....though I could b wrong and its actually pulling the ringtone from my google music copy...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thenags:
I see what you mean. I didn't see the 'Add' button at first. However that just seems to list ALL music on the device which is a bit of a pain due to the amount of music on my card. I ended up moving the ringtones to my SD card then just Astro to move them over to the internal storage. Not the quickest method, but seems to be better for keeping everything organized.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Endorn:
dumb

It's really dumb, but don't pick one of the two big choices at the top. Pick "Media Sync" in the smaller text options below those. As long as your pc is up to date, you should see "Evo" show up under my computer.
