Received xtreme guard for wifeys phone touch2. They seem very nice.

Will report for GS3 when I receive mine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrmako777:
ordered a set of realook yesterday. will report back once i determine how well it fits
[Galaxy S III Accessories] abstraction21:
It has Gorilla Glass... I don't even think that a screen protector is necessary. I had my GS2 since it came out and the screen was never scratched. That's just my opinion though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ebocioj:
I use zagg always had good luck with them. ive used them on two tablets, 2 macbook pros, a camera, mytouch etc
[Galaxy S III Accessories] seanatsb:
Gorilla glass does scratch...just not easily. I stopped using screen protectors on my fascinate (also has gorilla glass) because protectors got scratched to easily. Once I stopped using protectors, my fascinate's screen definitely had a few minor and not obviously noticeable scratches on it from keys or whatever else was in my pocket with the phone.

I'm partial to SGP's Steinheil Ultra Nano Series. It comes in both smooth (Clear) and matte (Optics). The price is reasonable and the quality is great. Shipping is also quick from both their website and their official eBay store.

1-Yup, I have used screen protectors for the last 4 devices I've had. If you mean "have I used this particular one before?" no, but I have used other SGP Steinheil protectors before and was satisfied... apart from the super thick models.

2-I like clear just because it tend to provide better picture quality, however matte is still very attractive since your finger slides better, there is reduced glare, and often oil comes off easier. Really it comes down to preference and I could easily see myself using matte instead.

3-Yup.

4-Yes, but it is cut a tiny bit smaller than the screen so as not to cover the curved edges.

5-Yes and no. It takes a tiny bit more effort to move your finger across the screen - less of an issue with the matte version. On the other hand it is only 50 microns thick (0.05 millimetres/0.002 inches) so it feels as hard as glass which makes it feel like you've got good contact with the the screen. Further, the thinness also contributes to it feeling almost as cold as glass, which is nice, instead of a plasticy feel.

6-Dry, so no water on your S3, but a little trickier to install. You get three screen protectors in a package though, so you'll likely get it right eventually. Also, they include a sticker and squeegee to help you get those stray bits of dust and bubbles out. I don't suggest following there application method though, I find sticking one end on the device, lining it up with the cutouts and sides, then applying a downward pressure on where the screen protector is curving while removing the protective film results in the least bubbles. Their advice on getting rid of stray dust is good though.

Hope this helps!

+1 for truth
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SeaFoam:
If it feels sticky, I just wipe it off. Orange peel is from incorrectly applying it. I've never seen any 'rainbow effect' and I've had one on my Xoom for a year now. It has some marks but that's my fault.

Most important part is getting enough application spray on it so your fingers don't mess up the adhesive.

That being said, my Cruzerlite case isn't playing nice with it. Keeps peeling the edges up, might have to pull it off and heatgun the edges and see if that helps.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xerxax:
umm...

Doesn't the GS3 have the Gorilla Glass 2, which is even more scratch resistant? I had the Epic 4g Tough for a while and was very nice to it and the screen looked great even without a protector. There is nothing like using the screen without a protector. I'm thinking of not using one at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Yes, but some people have already scratched their screens. You're best bet if you hate scratches is to get a screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
I feel like once you own the month for a couple of weeks, you get over that "careful" usage of the phone. And just pop it in and out where ever you go without being so gentle with it. Then (imo) you realize a scratch is just a scratch and you know eventually you'll get a new phone or know that you have to live with the scratches.

To me the scratches aren't big of a deal, more afraid of the screen cracking actually. On my ipod, you don't even notice the scratches until your completely turn off the screen :l when it's on theres nothing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jjjjayd13:
Do you think that the screen protector will help against screen cracks? from drops?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidCK:
I've been using the rearth ringo protectors that had some good reviews on Amazon.

Came with 2 protectors was really easy to install with my Cruzerlite TPU case already on the phone. It covers the entire functional part of the screen but not all the way to the edges. I preferred it this way so it wouldn't leave any air bubbles due to the edges of the case, but keep that in mind before considering them.

In terms of actual use the quality is quite nice. It took me about an hour of normal use to break it in and now it feels barely noticeable, probably as good as not using a protector. The only con is probably the price, it costs $12 dollars for 2 packaged protectors and initially they offered no shipping discount to prime members. Amazon has now rectified that, but still the cost is somewhat high for only 2 protectors.

TLDR; very nice protectors, but somewhat expensive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
did you not read the entire thing? screen protectors are only useful for scratches but whats the point when later on majority of us don't take care of our electronic devices from phones to gaming devices to desktops, etc. After a couple of weeks pass by. Obviously screen protectors wont help from cracks for drops but it may idk. What more important i would say is a case that can absorb the shock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidCK:
I would tend to agree that a raised lip case would be a better preventative measure from dropping the phone face down, however it seems that the spectre glass protector claims to help against this as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pkd600:
The SGP Ultra Nano protectors are fantastic. Yes, they do not cover the entire front due to the curved glass, but in my opinion it does cover enough of it to adequately protect it. Plus they look fantastic, you can pretty much not even tell its there.

The only downside is that when you first put it on, it will almost feel kind of sticky to slide your finger across. Give it a couple of days, I'm not sure if its some leftover residue from peeling off the protective layer or what, but it improves significantly.

I've been using SGP/Steinheil protectors for years, the best you can buy. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Maverick777:
I got the xtremeguards since they were so cheap as well as Skinomi Techskin when it was $0.99. The xtremeguard is OK, but not great. Given that it's a wet application skin, I expected the cutouts to be more precise on the xtremeguard. I had instances where the skin peeled off a bit when a receipt or something in my pocket got caught on it. The paper would catch on the cutouts. I've never had a screen protector peel up like that before. Even the RealLook protector on my Vibrant doesn't do that and it's a static cling type.

I'm getting my new S III today (traded in blue for white) and will be applying the Skinomi. I have a Skinomi on my Tab 7.7 and haven't had any issues with peeling or screen clarity. I like the cutouts on it a lot more than the xtremeguards. They didn't take the lazy route. All the cutouts are precise so there aren't any edges like the xtremeguards for stuff to get caught on.

Based on cutout design alone, I'd rather get Skinomi over xtremeguard. I'd also give a vote to Best Skins Ever. The cutouts look the same and I've had great experiences with them.

I have a TPU case coming on Monday, so I'll test if the Skinomi will work well with it. I've heard some were having issues with cases peeling the skin (any edge to edge protector) because the lip on the case overlaps with the skin.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GalaxyHeart:
Even though I've babied the phone since I got it on Sunday, I've managed to get two hairline scratches near the edges of the screen. Each is about the size of an eyelash.

Is the screen glazed? If so, I'm fairly sure the scratches are just in the glaze. Either way, this annoys me. My Captivate went two years without a screen protector without any noticable scratches.

Just ordered six XtremeGuard protectors from Amazon. Thanks for the link, mariotme!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] haza12d:
Been using the XtremeGuard Full Body Protector (Screen+Battery Door Cover) since I got my S3. I'm pretty happy with it. I just wished they included protectors for the sides... that way then can actually call it "Full Body." It was only $4 shipped :highfive: I'm also using it with the Incipio Double Cover, no problems whatsoever.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jdkane527:
The SGP FlexHD screen protector stretches easily, even after attempting to peel off just once to reapply. I was able to line it up perfectly the first time on my blue GS3. My gf's white GS3 wasn't as easy, and the film stretched such that when the bottom lined up, part of the film covered the microphone, and extended a little above the top of the phone.

Both of our phones still have some rainbowing after a week. I'm going to contact the customer service to look into replacements or upgrade paths to the curved glass.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Fallon:
I've got an annoying sleep while/after answering a call issue. I've had this issue on my old Captivate, so it's probably an Android issue rather than a SGS3 specific issue.

Set screen timeout to 3 hours (Automatically when in car dock mode, usually 1 minute, I can get the same behavior without dock mode however)

Receive call & answer with bluetooth speakerphone

Phone blanks the screen as if I put the phone up to my ear

I hang up

I have to try & type my PIN in again while driving

It only occurs due to the phone app & is extremely frustrating.

Any thoughts on ways to avoid careening off the road due to getting force to type in my PIN?

I have downloaded an entire copy of a particular Android branch following the official guide and using the repo utility.

Now i have some modified files that i want to use to customize the build process, the problem is that i have already pasted this files over the ones in local repository and my repository is now unusable and repo gives only errors when i try to sync.

What is the best approach when i want to modify existing file in my local copy of an Android official branch? What is the best approach when i want to replace 1 or multiple files?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staples04330:
I have been having many issues with my Verizon Samsung Fascinate currently running the 2.3.5 update and I've read on a post somewhere through searching Google that rooting it would make it not only run the way it should be faster. That it is mostly the Verizon software installed on the phone. I have never attempted anything like this and will honestly admit I'm quite scared of screwing it up. Has anyone done this with ease at a good success rate? Any advice good or bad or things that I should look out for? :confused:

Thank you!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I was you a few months ago. Rooting did not really speed up my phone, but it did allow me to do other cool stuff, like block all ads. If you have more time and energy, you can install an ICS ROM like THS or AOKP. Those will speed up your phone quite a bit. As a general rule, nothing in Droidstyle guide will steer you wrong.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelby04861:
Just follow droidsyles guide and you will be all fine. It doesn't hurt to ask questions. There is a good chance you will screw up your phone at some point, but most of us have. It is pretty hard to brick these phones. Also, nice to see someone on here from out neck of the woods!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubit64:
Hi @all.

I currently try to design a "simple" layout with android. What it should do:

At the top and bottom of the screen should be a bar with a little content. LinearLayout, horizontal.

Between the bars is the space for the content.

This content should be devided into a "large" upper region and a linear layout with (right aligned) buttons at the bottom.

If there is not too much content the content area should be display centered in the available space. If there are more elements in the content, the area should grow until it fills the complete space between top and bottom bars. The Buttons below the content should always be visible. The area for the content should be scrollable in this case.

I tried something like this:

RelativeLayout

LinearLayout TopBar (AlignParentTop)

Button1 Button2 ...

LinearLayout BottomBar (AlignParentBottom)

ButtomA ButtonB ...

This works fine.

Then i tried to add an additional element

FrameLayout (Above Bottombar, Below TopBar)

This FrameLayout fills the remaining space. Fine.

Now i need a layout like this:

RelativeLayout (wrap_content Width/Height)

ScrollView

LinearLayout CONTENT (sometimes small, sometimes really large)

LinearLayout ButtonBar (horizontal)

ButtonX ButtonY ...

If i attach the buttonbar to the bottom of the relative layout the relative layout grows and does no longer wrap around the content. Instead it's height fills the complete available space.

If i put the buttonBar into the upper Relative layout i can fit it between Content and bottomBar. But if the contentn grows the buttonBar slides down outside the screen.

Is it possible that such a simple layout is not managable with Android?

I am working for hours on this and always something does not work :-( HELP PLEASE!!!

Best regards, Udo
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
I'm not sure how do that, but it's possible. Maybe using a table layout (a table row for each element) and assigning them different weights... :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidLT:
Hi there, I'm not sure if I get what you mean, but here is my understanding of the question.

When your content becomes too large, your bottom bar gets pushed out of the view ?

Try adding this line >> android:layout_weight="1"

into the parent view just above your layout button bar

example :

<LinearLayout ** add to this view here >

<ScrollView>

</ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

<LinearLayout for ButtonBar>

</LinearLayout>

let me know if it works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubit64:
I tried weight - does not work. Currently I use margins as described in various articles. Ugly, but it works.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubit64:
Hi,

still stuck with this layout... Another problem now. I tried to have an inner LinearLayout set sets its children to equal width.

I tried every combination of weight, weightSum, layout_width="0sp" etc.

If the textView "MainContent" contains a huge amount of text the radio buttons are compressed to a very narrow size. If the text in the radiobuttons and the textview are nearly equal in size the layout works well. But ONLY then...

The scroll problem still exists.

The layout should work as follows:

If the screensize is big the MainContainer should use no more space than it needs to display its children. It the should be centered on the available space (in my real app it is packed into a relative layout instead of the top-level linear layout in this example).

If the content is larger than the available space a scroller should appear for the content in the scrollarea. The Buttons in the LinearLayout under the scrollview should still be displayed and not scrolled out of the screen. I currently am able to solve the scrolling problem by setting a bottom-margon of e.g. 50sp to the scrollview and -50sp to the linearLayout containing the buttons. Problem here: There are cases where the LinearLayout has no Buttons. With the current solution the Button-Area consumes space in this case too - what i do not want.

On both problems (Scrolling and even distribution of MainContent and the radioGroup) i now am working for days without success.

Any help would be nice. It looks like a really simple layout - but seems to be impossible with android.

Best regards, Udo
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirklich1:
Maybe u want to use Fragments (use supportlibrary v4 to Support devices lower than honeycomb)

Use a big one for the Main content. And a small one for the button bar.

So the Fragment may handle the Main content, like an whole activity does.

But dont ask how, cause i have no idea how to do this.

Ok maybe its the solution, so good luck. :)

Hi,

i currently USE fragments ;-) This does not solve the layout problem...

At the moment i read into creating own custom layouts. Complicated but this seems to be the only way.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] shorty1483:
I have a problem...

Every notification is working fine, just the one for low battery is not working.

Tried it with LED setting in SGS3 menu on and off, also changing the color has no effect.

Curious: Test mode for low battery works with every color, but live it doesn't.

Any suggestions? Did I miss something in settings?

Edit: Also notification does not work with the low battery setting ...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] afarina1:
Wasnt sure where to post this and coulnd't find anything about it so sorry if this has been addressed.

I am going to afghanistan and I am on my way thru kuwait. I activated my global roaming capabilities and got a GSM roaming signal on my Verizon RAZR in Germany and Kuwait so far.

Problem is this.

I have been in kuwait for 5 days now. The first 3 days I had a roaming signal no problem. The 4th day my roaming signal went away and has refused to come back. I am in the same area that I had a great roaming signal at before.

I am able to do a manual search on my phone for GSM networks near me and it finds Zain and Wataniya but when I try to connect they say they are unavailable.

I tried a local wataniya sim card and it picked up a signal right away.

I have talked to verizon, reseated the sim, wiped cache and wiped dalvik no change. Will do a nandroid backup tonight and factory wipe and restore my data to see if that helps.

But I just dont get a signal with the verizon sim anymore. Not sure what the problem is here.

Any ideas or suggestions on things to try would be greatly appreciated.

I will reply as soon as I can as internet is not nearly as readily available here as it is in the states and I will be on a plane to afghanistan in a couple of days.

I am just hopeing I can get this issue resolved or atleast come to the conclusion that my verizon sim if fried before i leave kuwait.

Thanks for all your time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sha_tan:
Imho, this issue has got nothing to do with razr. The problem you face must be because your original carrier may not have roaming tie-ups with the carriers you are trying to select. Or the local carriers in Kuwait may not be allowing foreign SIMs.

You could try putting your SIM in someone else's phone to confirm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tudork:
I think Sims can go bad when in roaming. If this is the case, you have to change it. It happened to me once.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] afarina1:
Actually it had nothing to do with the sim or the carriers around here. I tried to every possible troubleshooting step that I could with no luck.

So after I posted this I ran a nandroid backup and hit the phone with a factory reset then restored only my data and the signal has returned.

There must be some file that got corrupted or got the wrong config during a transition between one of these roaming towers at some point and the factory reset fixed it.

I am back up and running again and all is well.

On a side note verizon tech support is utterly useless.

Thanks For the replies!
