XO Skin came in the mail, can't really review it yet as I don't have a tablet to do so. Lol

Will update you guys when I do. (And can confirm it doesn't have problems before applying the screen protector)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RayLancer:
Just installed one of the screen protectors from Rearth Ringbo Screen Protectors. I have a 2nd one ready to go when the 2nd tablet gets here.... any minute now.

Anyhow installation wasn't too bad, it was a bit difficulty to get the adhesive cover of the screen protector however... The screen protector has is sandwiched between two things, one protecting the surface of the screen protector and the other covering the adhesive side. It is a dry install and I got it on without much issue (though my OCD-ness made me notice that I am off by 0.4mm towards the bottom).

Overall its pretty clear. It's not ruining the clarity of the screen. It sticks well, no sticky residue. I am pretty happy with it. The surface is pretty slick, though right now my finger gets caught while using it (this happens with all the screen protectors I buy, ie. SGP, Powersupport USA). Hopefully after a while it should get easier (it's probably due to the static nature of the screen and the protector film on top of it when it was packaged).

Does it have the rainbow effect? (When you slide your finger over it and sometimes it'll smear and the light from the screen will show up as a rainbow)

iphone protector

I found a protector while looking for something to make the phone less slippery without a bulky case. Got a kick ass carbon fiber full body protector for my iphone4 a year ago from xoskins.com. They had a discount running, but it was still super cheap. I haven't had a single issue with it at all. I'd recommend them for sure.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
so....... i tried searching the thread and it's fairly average; but how's the ZAGG protector? sticky? rubbery? slick? hard to put on i heard alot. there's some on ebay with really cheap shipping cost for Canadian delivery.

$20 for a screen protector only... but i'm very wary with those generic $3 plastics... (Skinomi is cheaper!)

ps: wow lookit this thing. C$10 for everything plus screen protector...

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190707622310...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_4532wt_1118

lol somebody tell me why Zagg is worth twice the price.

pps: skinomi skin is $17 directly from their site and its free shipping in north america....
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JaSauders:
I've pretty much done a complete 180 in that department. I started out venturing into the wet-applied screen territory with ArmorSuit, which came highly recommended and very similar ot Zagg/XO/insert20otherbrandshere. Once applied, I was very happy with how perfectly placed it was and how easy it was to apply (gotta be smart with the fluid, though), but I didn't like the surface texture. Way too rubbery for my liking...

I ended up going back to the dry protectors you find on ebay for a dime a dozen. I never really knew of the scotch tape trick (as obvious of a trick as it may seem) which may be why I was always frustrated with the dry protectors. Just now I applied a new dry protector... had scotch tape handy, put it in place, ahh hair fiber and 2 dust particles... lifted it a bit, dab dab dab, got them all, dropped the protector back down, perfection. Couple that with applying it in the bathroom after a hot shower (where dust seems to be non existent, according to users - haven't done it myself yet) and it might make it easier yet.

Point blank, screen protectors should not cost 20 bucks a pop. I'm sorry, but that's a rip off, especially considering the 20 bucks I spent on my ArmorSuit didn't have a texture worth tolerating on a touch screen. I'm much happier with the harder (and more slippery) surface of the dry protector... plus while the fluid makes applying wet protectors a bit easier as you can just drop it in place and then line it up (versus dry protectors where you kind of have to take a breath and look at it super closely since you can't move it once placed), it's still a little more comforting knowing I don't have fluid on my electronic device during application. Sure, it has its benefits, but I like applying the screen protector and - bam - I'm done. No need to wait for 12-24 hours for it to fully cure to see if I did any actual damage or not...

So, yep... I did a 180, but I also came back to dry protectors knowing I was better off for what I personally wanted. Of course, YMMV. :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] proud_whovian:
:confused: When the dry screen protectors say they can be rinsed and re-used, is that true?? I mean how do you avoid water stains and such as it dries?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R3dbeaver:
that's an awesome insight. thank you.

and with that, i grabbed the Skinomi directly from their site. Nexus7 $17, RAZR $11, free shipping, 25% discount (code: get25) for a total of $20 shipped to my door in about a week or so. and with 100% made in USA material, i dont get brokerage/custom fees. probably just tax when UPS delivered it, we'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SBMech:
Hi,

Just got my new note (at&t i7171) and proceeded to root it, I believe I used a root+CWM since I can hold down volume and power, let go of power at vib and it goes to a recovery screen...

Am I good to go as far as experimenting with new ROM's? Or do I need to install NANDroid or Rom Manager (*Rom manager does not even list my note as applicable)

I have DL and used Titanium Backup Pro and SMS backup, still seems like I should be able to backup my current ROM tho, any advice on an app for that? Or do I just need to DL the touch version from here and load it via Oden?

Thanks for any help!

Edit: After reading more I realize that I need my SD card to install CWM and as I am still waiting on my 64G SD card to show up from new egg, so I guess I'll have to wait to install CWM, I think what I was seeing is the stock restore. Oh well, I learned how to root it and about 20 other mods I need to perform so It was well worth researching! Awesome site btw, I look forward to learning more!

Ohh and any advice you can give as far as getting rid of bloatware etc would be very helpfull, sure seems like it could run faster....:o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Make sure you do a Nandroid backup From CWM before flashing any Roms and also Titanium backup.

You do not need an external sdcard to have cwm...i don't even have an external.

Just get an Odin flashable version of cwm...

Put in pda slot of Odin, out phone in download mode. Let them meet fall in love and do their thing, then you're good to go.

I'm partial to touch based cwm myself.

Just like cwm, but with touch screen navigation instead of volume and power button.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SBMech:
Thanks for the replys, got the touch CWM loaded, however it seems I will still need my SD card to make a backup, could not seem to direct it to USB storage.

Any advice for a favorite ROM? Looking for something minimalistic, just as fast as possible for internet and game use, my stock i171 seems completely full of bloatware :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
What do you mean?

Cwm> backup and restore> backup to internal sdcard...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nthknd:
If you have cwm installed correctly you can save your backup to your internal SD or external once you get it. Go to recovery then select back up it will back up to your internal card, same with a rom if you down load a rom from your phone the rom will be found on your internal SD card in download folder, flash it from there. We do not use rom manager, rom manager doesn't support our notes yet. I hope this helps. I would suggest watching a few YouTube videos on roms for the note just make sure everything you do is for the ATT version and not the other versions as a lot of people have flashed the wrong stuff for the wrong note. Hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:

i did root my samsung mini and did install "rom manager"successfully.

when i want to make a backup of the orriginal rom it says i have to install "flash clockwordmod" thru rom manager first.

in the givin list with phones my samsung isn't listed, is there any other option i want use to get this work.

Don't use it. Many users have bricked their devices using it. Although, I've used it with no problems.

also got it running on my htc incredible s without any problems.

thats why i choose for this option, got a better idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] galaxy mini:
Dont use rom manager!! It had brick many devices! Install cwm 5 touch from squad thru stock recovery its the easyest way to get cwm!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] domcale:
ROM manager is killing our mini's depending on its mood, don't use it. Flash either CWM4.0.0.5 using Odin (harder way) or just flash CWM5 touch recovery by Squadzone in stock recovery (easy way). The last easy solution has the least chance to something go wrong ;)

if it the phone was decleared as Stolen is it possible the effect

if so can it be fixed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsmonator:
full wipe and try again

also had the same problem, you probably flashed a rom on your previous rom

or maybe the rom doesnt get your apn's.

try full wipe and flash rom again, for me it did the work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
First you need to know where your friend got it from.

1.If its possibly a stolen phone then it may be locked by IMEI by the last carrier used.That makes it completely useless.A phone locked by a carrier once declared stolen can not be fixed.

2.If when flashing the custom ROM the IMEI or EFS folder has been corrupt or wiped then it wont make or receive calls.

Check the IMEI number (*#06#) and make sure its the same as the one behind the battery.If it is and your friend found the phone then it may be locked as a stolen phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDMaster:
well the IMEI behind the battery is similar with the phone IMEI..

what do i need to do in order to make the phone to output/input calls?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
So basically it sounds like a stolen phone, in which case you can do nothing and you will get no further help from me or this forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDMaster:
well thank you ill return it to my friend ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
It has to be the same not similar.If its only similar then its corrupt from a bad flash and can be fixed but if its the same then yes Im afraid as posted above it does sound like a locked stolen device:(.

Now since data is working for you. But you're not comfortable since you flashed the Telus radio. Flash the Modded UVLE1 Radio (T-Mobile Radio) from TDJs thread(Darkside Evolution) here. He removed the RILs from that radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pettigrew95:
I've tried both the LE and LC radios. No luck with either. Definitely not comfortable with a Telus radio though you got that right.

EDIT: Got T-Mo LC8 modified radio to work (RILs removed). What I did was just booted into recovery and didn't wipe anything. Then just simply flashed the LC8 radio zip file and rebooted and had data. So for anyone having data trouble and you are currently running CM9 with Telus radio:

Boot into recovery

Don't wipe ANYTHING

Flash the T-Mo radio and reboot

That's all I did and data is working now. I did not test the LE radio just T-Mo LC. Hope this helps people. Please post the results you guys get from trying this.

EDIT: Just flashed the modified LE1 version from TDJ's thread as well and it works now too. I don't know why and how, but flashing LC8, rebooting my phone, letting it sit overnight, then flashing LE1 works now. Before it didn't work and I flashed it before and after flashing 7.2.12 CM9 Nightly. Whatever the case may be, happy with LE1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] effortless:
I've had this same problem since the 26th and today all Radio's stopped working for me.. so I was troubleshooting some more and fixed the problem by doing the following..

I flashed the UVLE1 Radio with Rils and then I flashed 6/20 nightly and data worked again.

Then I went into recovery, TWRP wiped (no darkside super wipe) and installed the latest 7/02 nightly and it worked!!!

Sooo happy because TW was driving me crazy!.. I hope this helps others.

5.wiped/factory reset

6.flashed cm9

7.fix permissions

I had the same problem.

Goto Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and select AUTO mode.

Problem solved without installing a radio....sort of.

Honestly...the STOCK ICS SuperSU ROM will give you DOUBLE the data rates.

Custom ROM's on the T989D are only good for instability and someone else's preferred apps and themes.

Go back to stock, root the phone, remove unwanted apps with Titanium Backup and then add your own loaders and themes and you will have a STABLE, RELIABLE and AWESOME phone.

ROM's on this phone are useless...PERIOD.

No problem, glad to have helped. I somehow got the LC8 radio working with the newest build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ToastMan12:
It seems like there's no "Auto" mode in CM9. Also, I don't think so many people would bring this issue up if it had such a simple solution.

By the way, saying that stock ROM's are more stable is one thing, but saying that other ROM's are useless is flat out not true. There's something to be said about an AOSP android experience as opposed to UI overlays like TouchWIZ.

For me, AOSP is key. It feels lighter and snappier. I like the way it looks and feel it is much more flexible and customizable.

I'll actually go as far to say that *any* ROM on *any* phone can be useful in some way for someone.
