I got this orange crap effect with Zagg too, hated it.

Getting an XO Skins screen protector instead, they advertise no orange peel which everyone says is true. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gear.h34d.2012:
I've always used Zagg screen protectors. They're far from "invisible" (soon to hopefully be fixed with the expansion of their new Zagg HD line.)

They do suffer slightly from a slight tacky feeling. The best way I've found to fix that is regularly (once a day or so.) wipe your screen down with a phone wipe. Preferably a high percentage Isopropyl Alch. wipe. After a week or so the tack feeling is completely gone and the protector is still just un-scratchable as it's ever been.

I've never had any issues at all. Granted I put them on all day long for my customers (US Cellular Rep). I've gotten very skilled at application of these suckers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
Horrible, horrible things. Resistive to touch and the orange peel effect distorts the screen slightly. I had one on my HTC Sensation and took it off within days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andylol:
Terrible

When I first bought my htc desire I ordered the zagg screen protector, it looked horrible and there is so much friction that it just doesn't feel natural at all.

It was also far from invisible... so no I don't think you were being too harsh on Zagg!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagaofsage:
Hate it

I am active so I like to use an armband with my phone. The screen protector sticks to the clear plastic of ANY armband...which pretty much destroys the screen protector and the armband. It is a problem that Zagg knows of, but they haven't bothered to come up with a solution.

I have used other screen protectors that do not suffer this problem with my armbands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrimReaper24:
Zagg works well if installed correctly. Just blows if you get lint or dust under it. When installing .

almost bought the zagg. thankfully i read this post before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michealtbh:
I would rather stick a piece for tyre to screen than have to use Zagg again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blinkingLEDs:
I haven't used a zagg on my gnex but I have tried it on other devices and installed on a couple of friends devices.

In my opinion the shields for the back is ok if you want a little extra grip and for that very reason I will never use one for my screen again. To sticky for my taste.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBustCh3rries:
My opinion on Zagg shield is that they are difficult to put on the screen (atleast for me) but once it is on there pure magic! after you give it a week to settle in, and it loses that sticky orange peel feeling it is great! and your phone just feels safer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blinkingLEDs:
I disagree with your statement that the sticky feel goes away. In my experience it never gets better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thegodfather156:
XO skins are pretty solid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pitbrawlzant:
I disagree 100% After a couple days of use, I hardly even realize I have a screen protector on. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I ruined my Vikuiti screen protector on the first day, a perfect application but I put it in my Super Dry shorts which had lots of stitching on the inside and it left an irreparable mark on the underside of the screen. I've ordered an XO Skin which should come tomorrow, just to see what they are like, but I've opted to use the Sena Galaxy Nexus leather pouch instead, I ordered it yesterday and it came today. It beats using a case and a screen protector.

It's taken three screen protectors, five cases and ~£145 but I'm finally happy, lol... :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeTimesUp:
I split the difference and went with skinomi, been happy with them on other phones. Sure they can be softish and scratch, but they have a lifetime replacement guarantee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] einsteinisgaurav:
i bought the screen protector....applied it...saw the orange peel...i usually keep brightness low, so the room light reflects and makes orange peel effect visible even when screen turned on.....i bought this phone for AMOLED HD screen experience, which was lost due to zagg fags....so within 5 min....the zagg fag went into dustbin :D may be i will wait for fantom tempered glass....right now i am protecting my phone like a diamond jewellery....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bendirkss:
I'm really picky with screen protectors, I usually rip them off after a few days but I've kept my zagg one on for a month, I'm really impressed with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
i was going to get myself a zagg but the guy that was at this zagg stand thought they had the HD version which he said felt much better than the non hd one, im going to probably go with a sgp flex theyre around the same price and sgp is all about quality so ill give that one a shot unless zagg makes the hd version for the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gotokyo:
How's the skinomi protector for this phone?

I bought one of their protectors way back for my g2 because everyone raved about them. I absolutely loved it the screen was clear and it didn't feel like there was a protector on it at all. That was a while ago though I don't know if quality went down since then or if there's any fitment issues with this phone.

I'm debating with going with that again or trying out this XO skin. People seem to be talking pretty highly on those
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquid2:
If you buy one of these you absolutely must keep it on for a few days for it to cure. I've found cleaning the protector with alcohol really helps it stick. I think it has to do with the amount of moisture on the film and the drying effect from the alcohol. I've found cleaning with alcohol a lot can also cause the protector to scratch easily for about 30 minutes.

I believe the wavy appearance goes away over time but if it starts out really bad then you wont see it completely go away. When I first started applying them it was pretty wavy and now that I've done twenty or so they come out a lot nicer from the start. Cleaning the screen with alcohol first is a must, and use as much spray to apply it as you can without flooding the whole phone.

The ZAGG dry films are just plain better than the wet ones but I think those are only available on iphones. Hope this helps. Just my experience

Hey, so I have the T-mobile US version but I can't for the life of me find the FM radio app. Any help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_angelov:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tory13579:
Hello guys,

To get right to it, everything was fine when I was on MIUI 2.5.18 but when I updated to 2.6.1 the issue started happening. I will try to explain the issue to the best of my ability.

About 4-5 times a day my phone will just out of no where become ungodly slow as in it takes the phone ~45 seconds to recognize a touch on the screen or push of a button. So when this starts I have to reboot, and normally I have to Hard Reboot (hold power till GT-i9100 screen appears). I was running Neak at the time so I switched to Siyah and it as still an issue, I also updated to 2.6.8 but that did not help either. Last night, I changed to AOKP thinking it may be a ROM issue and even on the stock Kernel I still have the issue...

At this point I believe it may be a phone issue. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you fix it if so? Should I attempt a flash back to Stock and run that for a while and see how it goes?

I will try and get a video today if my room mate comes home.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tophaholic:
I had the random slowdown issues with NEAK - but never had that on CM9 or Siyah kernels and not on ktoonsez's MIUI kernel as well.

Basic stuff - did you do a complete wipe - cache, dalvik cache, format /system and ran Jivy's kernel cleaning script just to be sure?

Does it happen during a certain activity e.g. opening a certain app or anything else? Do you have any memory management apps installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tory13579:
May need to try the cleaner script but yes complete wipe with both cache's and system when I went to AOKP

and no its totally random just when ever it feels like it. As far as memory management I went through the agonizing long steps when it was slow and only about 500mb of memory was being used and only on occasion does it go over 600mb

What are some good memory management programs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
There are so many variables I would say flash back to.stock completely, (wipe first obviously) then see if problem persists. If it does then u know its a hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] InfantryMarc:
i had a similiar problem on my captivate after installing a eurokrank rom. i found that if u have the govenor set to powersaver it made my phone really slow/ laggy. once i changed it to ondemand or performance it picked right back up. maybe tinker with that and see if it maybe clears it up a bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tory13579:
Cleaner script seemed to work! Never thought I would ever have to use it but oh well.

It has not happened all weekend, so we will see how it goes the rest of the week!

Thanks again guys!!!

Preface; I have bought screen protector from them before or or more and I liked them. So, that is why i bought more of there products. These were a hopefully mistakes.

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/one-x/htc-one-x-ultra-thin-air-series.html

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/ht...-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html

I know the case is nice except the fact that it doesn't fit right. The holes for the camera and the flash are not aligned and the top of the case doesn't go on properly. Here is one pic that shows it well.

Now for the screen protector. I am not sure if they are made to not cover the whole screen from side to side, but I would have thought so. These screen protectors are pretty think to not have it go from side to side because I think you would run into touch sensitivity problems right at the edge of the screen.

Here it is actually against the edge of the glass on one side of the phone.

Here is an album of few more pictures of the case and screen protectors.

Like I said though, I would have really loved this case if it fit right. It is really thin and doesn't really change much about the phones area.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
uh...the screen protector was meant to be that way
[HTC One X] biggestmexi:
Do they all not go to the edges? That seems very odd to me and would make it to easy to peel up I would think with how think this is. Not to mention you need to touch where that is. Especially with the Browser lab side touch thing.
[HTC One X] rccola159:
The screen of the HOX curves on the edges so screen protectors would bubble up if they were edge to edge.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
if u want it to go all the way, try the skinomi wet application ones. they go all the way
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
My SGP Air case fits fine. Maybe you got a fake one? There should be a serial number inside the case, you can go here to authenticated.
[HTC One X] WhiteDragonNL:
The screen protector problem is well known and widely covered by the screenprotectors thread. Research helps an insane lot sometimes...

As said before, the best available screenprotector that covers the whole screen is the wet application Skinomi (techskin). Most dry application ones don't cover the screen because they don't like the curved edges of the screen, they're too stiff and don't have enough adhesive power to stay on properly.

Is yours the international version or USA and canada version? Some cases are made to fit the international and to fit the USA.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
Funny, I'm looking for the same thing.

Is there nothing out there that can do this?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Trooper_Max:
Hope no one minds if I bring this thread back - I've been looking around for solutions for this (even before this thread) and stumbled upon androdhid a while back, but I still haven't tried it out:

http://code.google.com/p/androhid/

I more recently found android-bluetooth-touchpad and actually gave it a try:

http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/

I couldn't get it to work with Windows, but maybe I was doing something wrong or maybe they were running into the same problems that androhid ran into (they talk about it here: http://code.google.com/p/androhid/wiki/AndroHid ), but I did get it to work with my Android tablet and was able to use it to move the mouse pointer around and click, but the keyboard feature didn't seem to work very well. In contrast, androhid claims to provide a working keyboard, but no mouse support due to technical hurdles, although a commenter mentioned he had extended it to get mouse support working (I tried contacting him, but no response).

So anyway, we have here two at least somewhat working solutions that at least work with Linux/Android, if not Windows. And they're open source.

How interested would ya'll be in adapting these into something with the Xperia Play in mind, so you can use your Xperia Play as a bluetooth gamepad compatible with Linux/Android tablets? (and also as a mouse/keyboard) I may try and work on this if I can find/make the time. It'd be nice to get it working with Windows too, but that might be further off. Or if someone else wants to spearhead it, I'd be willing to help as I'm able. I'm not promising I'll have much time for this any time soon though, but it hopefully shouldn't be too hard.

Or does anybody already have some other good solutions for this? Seems like the solutions I've seen either aren't very good, or rely on custom software on both sides of the connection (both a client and a server, whereas by following the HID standard, you only need custom software on one side-use app on the phone and connect to any android tablet with bluetooth hid support, which most ICS and beyond tablets will and maybe some Gingerbread).

Further down the road I'd even like to get USB HID working, but I'm pretty sure that would require kernel-level development. (ie connect your phone via USB and it acts as a USB controller too)

EDIT: Or maybe I necro'ed the wrong thread, but not sure this one had any good answers either:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hatcyl:
If it helps, such an app would be relatively easy to make for the buttons and dpad but not the touch pad.

The problem is no one had any incentive to do it.

It would be awesome if the maker of TabletRemote would implement it, he already took care of all the grunt work (nice ui, register each other, settings, etc.)

I made a proof of concept app in a few hours and it worked just fine.

I don't know what the point if this post is.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] injection18:
Tablet Remote + GameKeyboard = EPIC WIN !

I can use my Xperia Play gamepad as a bluetooth gamepad for my new Nexus 7 and it works perfectly !

Use Tablet Remote for bluetooth remote control, use GameKeyboard to map physical buttons to touch events and you're done !

(However I think GameKeyboard needs root access ...)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Trooper_Max:
I was really just hoping to stir up some interest to motivate me to actually do some Android development. I'd like to spend some time doing Android development, but I rarely have the motivation since I do enough programming as my full-time job and tend to want to relax and do other things when not at work.

You're right, it seems like there isn't that much incentive for this, so it would be nice if developers who already have apps that are so close to what we're talking about to extend their solutions to cover this.

Good to know that that combination works out, even if it is a bit roundabout! Shows that having a workable solution matters more to users than following standards. (EDIT: And I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm just saying getting something working is what's most important, worrying about following standards and implementation details is something programmers worry more about than users)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] injection18:
In fact it works, but you can't press some buttons at the same time ... so I must find an other solution ...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
There should be an app that allows to use the Xperia Play as a gamepad on PC. I thinks it's an idea that would completely rock.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mysticales:
I think you can do that already. Just acts as a HID.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon&hl=en here ya go. Think thats the one.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Trooper_Max:
Yeah, I would like that eventually too. Unfortunately, that's more difficult to do, at least as a true HID device... both the androhid and bluetooth touchpad projects I mentioned ran into a roadblock trying to work with a Windows host (because they don't quite emulate a true/full HID device, just almost, which is "good enough" for Linux). Connecting to Linux distributions which use the Bluez bluetooth stack is very doable, however. Maybe it'll be possible to modify/recompile the Android Bluez bluetooth stack to overcome this, but that makes it much more challenging and puts it further off.

There might be other strategies involving custom driver software on the PC to make it work though that would be easier. (The advantage of operating to the HID standard is that it works with PCs/tablets/phones out of the box without special drivers/software on the host)

Do go watch the demo linked to on the page below, he uses his app in gamepad mode to control a mario-like game running on Linux:

http://code.google.com/p/android-bluetooth-touchpad/

EDIT: Or guess the non-HID solution already exists as Mysticales pointed out above. Note that it is likely not truely emulating a HID device since it requires Java software on the PC. Still, it should get the job done!

I just managed to use my Xperia Play as a controller via wifi for my PC and it works WONDERFULLY!

Heres what i did

downloaded and install this :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pcon&hl=en&rdid=app.pcon&rdot=1

you also need to download the PC client for it to work

Theres a Xperia play mode included but its awful , some buttons dont work and the X button fails to register after using the dpad.

So what i did was use Joypad 1 (the one with the on screen controls)

And used GameKeyboard with a 6 button controller.

End results? it worked perfectly.
