I'm looking for a Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector. I've found a few so I'm wondering if any one has had a good experience with one they've purchased and applied.

Looking for something that feels like the film that was on the EVO LTE out of the box, the LOCATION PRIVACY warning one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FPZero:
Long time lurker, first post wooohooo lol.

I'd wait for the Spigen SGP matte one to be released. Have it on my 3d and I recommend it with my eyes closed. Goes on pretty simple, hardly noticeable, matte feels great, easy to clean, no glare and fills the screen real estate nicely. Overall, perfect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bender_123:
Zagg HD is fantastic..feels like glass and crystal clear. Love mine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
I always got mine off eBay, and they worked great!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
I think they all perform about the same. If you aren't using the phone in the sun all the time, I'd recommend against it though.

But if working in the sun is what you need it for, you'd be much better off finding a really good pair of polarized sunglasses to with an anti-glare screen protector.

I used to have an awesome pair (before I lost them) which made the screen about as readable as if you were inside a dark room, and I think the screen protector was one of those cheapo made HTC ones.

He said anti-glare.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwing13:
Thanks for the replies.

Well I'm not in the sun all day but I like the feel and the no smudge, anti-fingerprint capabilities.

I just ordered one from eBay for $4.95 and i'll wait for the Ultra Optics protector from Spigen to come out and i'll probably try that one out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jasongthang:
I ordered this the other day

CrazyOnDigital Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Sprint HTC Evo 4G LTE One (3-pack)

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X6JQ7W/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2C_ST1_3p_dp_1

Waiting for it to come in. I can't imagine 3 screen protectors for only $4 can be very good, but I figured I'd try them out. I couldnt find any Zagg screen protectors AT THE TIME, so this would hold me over until I ordered a Zagg.

Do the zagg screen protectors they have for the HTC One S and One X fit on the Evo LTE?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwing13:
I also saw that one on amazon. I've seen a few that's why I wanted some 1st hand advice.

The one I ordered has a cut out for the sensor.

I read that people were having trouble with it because of the screen protectors.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
Man, if you aren't in the sun all the time, DO NOT use an anti-glare screen protector. They aren't perfectly clear as a regular screen protector would be. They have this overlaid rainbow effect which distorts colors and visibility.

A perfectly white screen will not look white, but will have tiny red/green/blue sparkles all over.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Av8ter:
clarivue makes the best. I always use them. Used them on the HTC EVO, EVO 3D, and now the EVO LTE. You get two "ultra clear" screen protectors for 14.00 shipped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
it is released. Go to spigen.com for the LTE and the ultra fine is the one you would want. It comes two in one packaging
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electricview:
Is no one else noticing how thin and bassless the audio sounds when recording a video on the GS3? I don't own one yet, but every single time i watch a video the audio results are the same.. I sure hope this is just a bug and not what to expect from the mic for video recording? If you check phone arena there's a comparison with the camera of the s3 to like 5 other phones, they all have much better sound during video recording...

You can see how all the other phones have a much bassier sounding recording, espically for voices.. I'll concede that for 'wind' noise having less bass can be helpful, i'd rather see this as an 'option' to turn on or off rather than just have 0 bass the entire time you own the phone.

I've seen it rarely mentioned here but this is a major let down to me, having FANTASTIC video quality but really lackluster audio.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theguru1:
yepo me too i have only just discovered by putting it on the tv via the sd card the sound is very tinny..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nac5000:
yep!!! the sound sucks! I was very excited recording a video of my K&N filter and OH CRAP!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Gadgetz:
Just wonder what you guys think....Do you think it's necessary to have a forum dedicated to the US version of this phone since the roms for the international version won't be compatible with it?

I think it would help since there won't be any confusion as to what version a particular rom/kernel/mod is for...I think it would also help as far as troubleshooting is concerned too.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S III General] johku12:
Sounds practical to me
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
I agree, there Is no point in cluttering this forum with a different device. Its a completely different beast.
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
So many newbs will be flashing quad core ROM's on their dual core phones, and vice versa.

It's going to be a real mess for awhile. And likely a lot of total bricked phones as a result. :(
[Galaxy S III General] accordex:
This will happen, perhaps we could wait untill US versions are ACTUALLY available?

It will be broken down into VZW, Sprint , ATT and TMO..maybe under one thread, maybe completely seperate....

While sharing the same build, they will have different model #'s...as has been the case with just about EVERY phone ever released...

Chill out guys..GNEX started on Verizon...now they have a GSM/Verizon/Sprint sub thread...

Did you really think a dev would post a US rom into a I-9300 thread without clearly stating it's for said device?
[Galaxy S III General] ronj1986:
They need to separate all of the variations......Korea, Japan, etc. This forum is already becoming cluttered:mad:

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Closed as this has been answered before, at the very least the USA S4 versions will get their own dev sections, but the exact layout is still under discussion.

.

AND SO ON.....what do they mean????

and THANKS:o
[General Questions and Answers] Stealthy Hunter:
Any Help..:(
[General Questions and Answers] a.cid:
Have you tried asking google?

He is really good with these, and besides, is very helpful...

Helping you help yourself: use "define*", without quotes in the google search box, followed by the acronym word...

And ya, please search before posting...this ^ is available at a lot of websites, and some acronyms have whole wikipedia pages dedicated to them...

You just need to search...
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
MIUI is a ROM by the Chinese,very popular,and translated occasionally.

ROM is short for Read Only Memory where the OS (read android) is saved. Play with that and its a Custom ROM as in custom made android.

The UI stands for User Interface and is the fresh look a manufacturer throws over android (read HTC Sense,Samsung Touchwiz) and unmodified android the way Google made it is Vanilla Android.

Any questions?
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Wanted to hit the "douche" button on your post but couldn't find it! You typed more words complaining than it would have taken to answer his question..
[General Questions and Answers] dstarfire:
UI stand for user interface. It's how you interact with your device (whether it's a command line, selectable icons, or a direct neural link)

a ROM is a collection of firmware for your device. The one that ships with your device is referred to as the 'stock' rom. Any other that you install is called a custom rom.

Some other (not mentioned acronyms)

CWM: ClockworkMod (a recovery mode kernel that lets you install rom's, backup your current rom (and associated dsata) and do other handy device maintenance tasks.

ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich.Currently the latest version of the android operating system.

GB = Gingerbread. the previous version of android

ADB is a tool you install on your desktop/taptop computer to manipulate an android device.

[General Questions and Answers] TeeJay3800:
It looks like all the OP's questions have been answered except for RUU, which stands for ROM Update Utility.

a.cid was correct that a quick Google search would have easily turned up what all those acronyms stand for.

I can not help you to have CWM RECOVERY to the DNS Air tab. But i need your help because i looking for the last firmware for mitac valar 7. (not DNS Air tab)

you have it ?
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
Hello guys i want to know what is the dangerous things the you mustn't (not shouldn't)do while flashing

why ?

because I have had optimus p 350 I released the battery on emergency mode(somthing like s/w mode) and phone damaged and I forced to replace it so which thing we mustn't do in OB development to avoid and prevent this things

:o thnx a lot
[LG Optimus Black] supi9:
Do not turn off or reboot the laptop. Battery fully charged. Do not disconnect the USB cable and everything will be fine. I hope :D . It's for smartflash. When you have bootlop after flash by CWM you can always to flash phone by smartflash. Beside it's great way to back factory rom when you need it for warranty. :rolleyes:

Carefully follow instructions for smartflash :cool: !!!!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
I think that as long as the phone's hardware isn't damaged, you can flash your phone again with SmartFlash.
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:
In fact we have more than that

the previous phone when I removed the battery the motherboard damaged
[LG Optimus Black] supi9:
After bootlop when I flash from CWM some times I taken of battery from phone and all was well. But in other hand when you have bootlop you have to take off battery and to prepare for use smartflash

most safely to flash with CWM but you have to remember to do wipes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardon85:
I've been going round and round in circles all weekend . Currently got an HTC ONE X which other than a few multi tasking issues is perfect. I love it, hands down best phone i've ever owned. Its going back today because I've had a fall out with ThreeUK and have canceled my contract. I now have the option of a new phone. So its ether the new SIII or the HOX. I'm currently swaying towards the SIII due to battery life and slightly more power. I have a few questiosn I hope the community can help me with?

In the future will there be any ROMs which have Beats Audio cooked in or will it clash with the SIII DAC?

Is it possible to get Tegra games working without root?

Could the HOX camera app ever be ported to SIII?

Can you place multiple apps within a folder on the home screeen?

Warrenty, the HTC warrenty is void as soon as you unlock the boot loader. Whats the story with Samsungs and warranty?

The way I look at it the SIII has more potential. Since the HOX runs so hot, OC'ing doesn't look that promising. Hows the SIII? Does it get toasty or are increased clocks possible later down the line?

Going to ahve a look at the SIII tonight after work. See how it feels in the hand and see how I get on with the screen. Clearing up the above quations will certainly aid in my decision.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskinetic:
I cant answer most of your questions but i had the same choice HOX or S3,i wanted the HOX since launch because i really like the sence software but changed my mind at the last minute........

to answer one of your questions,yes you can have folders but you have to create the folder rather than just dragging one tile on top of the other like you can on HTC phones ,i had a htc sensation xe before this S3

in some ways i still prefer the HTC sensation mainly due to the sence software,the beats software also sounds better via headphones than the audio on the S3 (just my opinion) music has abit more "punch" to it on the beats , if that makes sence

anyway good luck choosing im sure both phones are great :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardon85:
I'm hoping with ROM development there will be a nice stream lined release.

Other than the fancy clock widgets what does sense actually offer over TW? I'm finding it hard to spot in the videos other than the obvious theme changes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
1 - Seems that Voodoo Sound is coming to the SGS3 - huge SQ improvement, and a million times better than Beats. I'd be surprised if any ROM chef choses Beats.

2 - In most countries warranty is voided by rooting or flashing non-stock ROMs. It's easy enough to restore a stock ROM and reset the flash counter if neceesary (via Triagle Away).

3 - I've been giving my phone a very heavy workout for almost a day now, and it has been slightly warm on a couple of occasions and no more. Very impressed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardon85:
I've had my HOX up to 52C and my Battery Information widget is saying "Over Heating" this is just from playing GTA3. Most the development on the HOX is to undervolt to get more battery not performance. I think the S3 since it uses a smaller Nm manufacturing process it may well OC better than the HOX. 5 hours screen time compared to 3.30hrs is much better IMO. Just looking at beats headphones and a 64GB SD card now. £96 for the two very tempted to click purchase and go get a white S3 at lunch.

Couple more questions:

How is the MHL working with the S3? Is it 720p output or does it do 1080p? The HOX has a small boarder when using MHL adapter and drives me mad!

I've read that 1080p on BBC iplayer is currently laggy. How is 1080p on youtube?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torsrex:
Appearently the s 3 supports the new mhl standard (V2.0) which is limited to 1080p60 and 8 channel audio.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mardon85:
If that's true the S3 seems to one up the HOX a little on most points. Waiting on the cable and wireless charging from Samsung now!

After a few days on cm9 .. my touch screen become unresponsive.. at first it only take one time lock and unlocking it again to make it normal.. + another few day.. now it take many time to make it work.. after that i change back to ddkp3 with adipat kernel but the problem didnt go away fully it came back to 1 time lock back to fix the unresponsive.. i wipe cache/dalvik cache.. flash xxkp3>>ddkp still stay like that.. anyone else facing this?

there is also text of "safe mode" at the left bottom of the screen// fixed with switch on + volume up button
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xepisode:
It seems like .. it happen when i reach deep sleep.. after it went to deep sleep and i want to use the phone this problem occur ..

any help?

Edit:

now i need to lock and lock again 3 time + before my touch screen become responsive
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
what Rom you use again? DDKP3?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xepisode:
i have tried .. ddkp1/2/3 .. xxkpe/q/u and one froyo firmwire.. it still is the same..

are my touch screen broke? .. but i can still use it after some unlocking ..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] geekynoob:
its a hardware problem..instead of playing doctor doctor with it..go to a service centr..if ur still inwarranty..if not..thn well god bless..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Hmmm... I am going through a similar problem... I've noticed that when this unresponsiveness occurs and I keep my phone for charging the touch becomes normal again. But as soon as I disconnect the problem comes back.

I had this issue before too. When I was on TheFrankestains miui v10.5... And now I am on RemICS v2.

I'll like to mention here that on v1 of RemICS I didn't face this issue. In v2 the developer did mention a change in the kernel.

Also another er thing with the unresponsiveness the bln is acting weird too. Now I don't know what to conclude from all this.

And ya when it had occurred before I did take it to the customer service. And all they did was remove my screen guard and reflash the stock. :what:

The problem disappeared that time but it has resurfaced again. :sly:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Even I'm facing this issue and thats the exact reason i'm not going to service center. I doubt its a H/W issue cause the screen does work! If it had been a H/W problem then the shouldnt have been any touch response!

Its might be similar to backlight issue but too bad we're facing it on stock aswell.

I had posted a logcat in the dev ICS thread but no response from anyone.

If there are more people facing this issue then please come forward.

I got only one phone. :( . And i cant use it. :( :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mdaamir1989:
I'm on ICS Alpha V6 . I get this problem occasionally.

Problem occurs when i get a call and the touch becomes unresponsive. Not all the times but sometime. If i lock the screen and unlock it becomes proper. Sometimes it takes 2-3 locks and unlocks. Weird. Never had this problem in stock before .
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Everytime this problem starts after a call. Happens on stock as well as custom Roms. Can't figure out if it's software or hardware problem. But the touch becomes normal when the phone's kept on charging.

Anyways going back to the customer service tomorrow. Will tell them to change the touch panel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Probably Hardware, i am using RemICS v2 and NOT experiencing this issue on both my device and my sister's device (tried the call thing too)

I advise you guys to go to the service center (without a screen protector) and with the stock rom (so they don't have to flash anything) so they see it live, and hence there's no point of flashing stock again (over stock lulz) they'll probably change the screen for you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] saywhatt:
i have the same problem now.. i dunno if i will ever get this phone fixed. my warranty's expired for a month.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
Well all of a sudden my screen is working now, touch wood.

I'm in Chennai right now. Was having the problem in goa. Don't know if the weather has made a difference.

Will find out when I get back to goa.

Btw, I had flashed UCv15 yesterday. So try flashing it and stay on it for a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malekts:
Need Help!!

im on stock ROM.. my touch screen is unresponsive after i unlock the screen..

sometimes i can press a few icons after unlock.. but most of the time i can press only once after i unlock the screen and then it does not respond... the soft buttons also do not work.. tried clearing cache, factory reset, flashed stock rom, etc....

P.S: the hardware buttons work fine!

Please Help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Everyone needs Help here dude...!!!:(

Same problem for everyone... :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malekts:
is it more likely to be a hardware issue??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
It is a Hardware issue.

I gave my phone to the Service Centre yesterday. I called them today to check on the status. They said it's a hardware issue so they'll give it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best... :)

BTW I will get an extended warranty on the replaced part, won't I?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
And the problem is back. Not entirely though.

After deep sleep if I unlock the phone, the touchscreen doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to get it working.

After unlocking, once the display goes off, the menu and back keys stop working. Have to lock unlock again.

Had flashed cm9 stock kernel yesterday morning since gps isn't working for me in UCv15. Didn't face any problem yesterday after flashing stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Got my phone back today. They replaced my touch panel. Everything fine for now.

Let's see if it really was the problem.

Back to ICS. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
A question I want to ask, do the ppl who got this problem use a back cover?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malekts:
by back cover you mean protective case? if so, yes i do!

and the touch panel means the digitizer right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xepisode:
I Got my phone back from samsung.. the touch panel replaced. Working Fine
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Well they said touch panel. I donno exactly what they replaced.

Yes protective case. I asked this because I remember that I had put on a very tight case before this problem started happening. I actually was struggling to put on the cover. But I did manage to.

And after that the problems started occurring. So maybe because of the tight cover something may have happened. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malekts:
hmmm.... the case im using isn't that tight!! but i struggled a couple of times to put in on and remove it!

my phone is out of warranty.. :( :(

checked on eBay for the panel! its there for about $26-$30.. but i need to make sure that it is the panel that is faulty!

there would be no reason to replace the LCD right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
It seems they have changed my LCD too or maybe only the LCD, coz I had 3 dead pixels on my screen. Now I can't see them. :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] agnivo007:
Possible Solution!!!

Friends, I think I found a possible solution for this issue. Though it seems to work for me... I have to keep the phone under observation for some days until I can say it's the final solution.

The possible cause for the touch screen going unresponsive seems not to be a hardware/software glitch; but environmental issue! And it doesn't depend on the ROM your'e running.

I noticed that most people from India having this issue say that this problem started in June, when the rainy season starts and it gets humid and damp.

In fact my phone showed this issue when it had rained for the last 2 days and it was very damp and humid inside the house.

You can do the following:

1. Take out the back cover, memory card, SIM and battery.

2. Place the backside of the phone near a hot air source (on top of a running CRT TV/monitor, hairdryer, laptop fan vent) for sometime.

3. Reassemble and check if the problem has gone away.

Do not panic if the handset gets a bit hot in the process!

In my case, I left it on the top grille of a CRT TV for a day which ran for 8hrs.

Do let me know if this works for you... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loneagl:
I am from India n faced the problem twice..is the solution u provided working for u?? My problem 'seems'to have gone..but it may return..also i noticed the touchscreen became responsive after a reboot..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] agnivo007:
^^^ In my case, it wasn't even working after a reboot... I had to plug in the charger to register any touch. I'm keeping the phone under observation for some days before I can say this solution works...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] saywhatt:
I tried this but the "problem" just kept on coming back. Is it safe to "slightly" heat up the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
