[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] viiv:
Hey guys I just recieved and applied the official Sony screen protector for the Xperia S from Japan and it is THE BEST. It is MUCH better quality than the one included in the box of the Xperia S.

I am not referring to the pre-applied anti-shatter sheet, I covered that up like you are supposed to with the screen protector included in the box. After recieving this new one, I just removed that screen protector with a piece of scotch tape and after some cleaning and polishing of the area the old screen protector did not cover I applied the new Sony one from Japan once again over top the anti-shatter sheet and wow what a difference.

To begin with, this screen protector covers EVERYTHING. The one included in the box left a sizeable portion uncovered at the top that looked a bit ugly. This one covers everything and only has a perfectly cut hole for the earpiece speaker and the camera.

I chose the anti-fingerprint model and it really DOES work well. You have a choice of four official Sony screen protectors from Japan.

Crystal clear model:

Anti-reflective model:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...801253?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4605031ea5

Anti-fingerprint model:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360472813244

Privacy model:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/OFFICIAL-SON...802510?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item460503238e

However note that the privacy model doesn't cover the bezel, just the actual display area. If you want the privacy model and you want to protect the entire bezel you should apply it over top of the crystal clear model.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tunngavik:
I'm curious - with the anti finger print model is it a matte finish? Any difference in the screen quality (e.g. brightness, crispness, clarity)?

I've been doing a lot of reading and from what I have read is that the anti - fingerprint ones do degrade the quality of the screen. Would be interested in the one you mentioned and would be willing to spend the coin don't want to end up with something that in my opinion is sub-par.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
I would love a matte screenprotector. The protective matte foil that was on the phone when it first arrived (the one you're supposed to peel off almost right away) felt amazing.

Ok, so I know this may sound redundant.....but, I've quite a bit of talk about the possibility of the HTC users getting AOSP. I know many of us are REALLY looking forward to that marvelous day when it FINALLY happens.

Has anybody got some "OFFICIAL" evidence of it happening any time soon?

Go Google "AOSP" and "HTC Sense".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
I'm gonna go ahead and use common sense (no pun intended) and say it's not gonna happen. HTC has invested too much in developing Sense for them to suddenly switch to AOSP, if they were going to they would've done it for ICS instead of having to contend with massive rewrites to Sense.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] McBang2023:
So im no novice when it comes to rooting and/or using Odin. However i am left puzzled by this new issue. I just bought the note and when trying to root via Odin, the phone does nothing. I am successfully in download mode and Odin recognizes the device. But when i hit start and Odin begins, the phone doesn't respond. Odin gets stuck in a different place each time, but nothing happens. I've unplugged and rebooted a few times, phone still works normally on stock, but i cannot get Odin to respond at all. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrypticDweller:
Not sure if this will apply for you or not, but I ran into a similar situation. If you happen to have Kies installed, make sure that it's not open or running in the background. Odin was showing that the connection was available and I was in download mode. It would start to connect, and then just stop there. After fumbling around for awhile I noticed the process for Kies, closed it, and Odin immediately kicked in, and completed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] McBang2023:
i have actually not installed kies on my computer, so im certain this is not the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Emir5kurt:
What about the Samsung drivers? Did you install them?

Also try to run odin in administration mode. I believe you right click and select run in admin or something like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] McBang2023:
As i said in the OP, I am no novice. I have tried running Odin in administration mode. and i have installed the drivers. however my phone doesnt take to the program. So what i ended up doing was installing kies and updating to stock ICS. Now all i have to do is find a way to root it.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] yachtman:
Hi

First of all, sorry for asking these questions since I'm very new to Android.

I just received the message saying the update 6.1.A.0.452 is available.

1) Is it the ICS update?

2) How is the battery performance?

3) I bought the phone from UK (simfree) but the battery was poor so I flashed the 6.73 SG firmware, if I update from the PC companion, which region would it be, UK or SG? and what are the differences

4) Will it void my warranty if the firmware is SG

Thank you very much

Sorry again for noob questions
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] strongful:
I'm fairly new to Android myself from my understanding that firmware is ICS and it's very stable as long as you use PCC to update your phone.

Sent from my LT26i using Tuffwall
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] qsq631886:
1) yes

2) To me,better than GB

3) I think if now you have SG rom installed,you will get SG update from PCC

4) If you didn't unlock your bootloader,you have warranty.But to make sure,i suggest you flash back to uk rom before you go to service center.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
4) It's just flashing another regions firmware update (since you flashed to SG in the first place) nothing bad will happen :). The only thing that will void your warranty is if you break your device by overclocking and such. It has been said a million times that even if you unlock your bootloader, your warranty is intact. It's just what you do afterwards is how it can get voided (overclocking, etc..) ;).

But what you are doing is 100% safe, and it's definitely worth getting the update. I get better battery life than GB, and it feels a bit faster for the most part. You can also flash (with flashtool) the UK update if you like? I am not sure if it's out yet though...

I hope this helps? good luck :).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mercury_beta:
1. It is the ICS update.

2. Battery is better than GB, but i used the phone in 1 day

3. It will upgrade wtih SG (singapore right?) region

4. It isn't void your warranty.

Can you send me the link to SG firmware (singapore if i'm right), i'm in vietnam and my phone use CZ FW lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samms71:
Hi All,

I found a bug and want to see if it only affects my rom or others. I'm running Resurrection 2.5.3 on a SGS2.

DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT A CHALLENGE TRYING TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE W/O THE OK BUTTON. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

If you want to try this and you have the pin lock on, i suggest using a simple pin number consisting of only 1,2 4 and 5. Also turn on the feature that automatically unlocks w/o hitting OK.

To repro the bug:

* lock your screen into landscape mode with auto-rotate turned off.

* let the phone lock.

*If you have the pin lockscreen enabled, when the display comes back up, you can only see the top left corner of the keypad. On my phone I couldn't not press the OK button after i entered my pin.

* I finally managed to unlock using adb and screen caster.

Anyone else experience this? I have to say it's really annoying. Took a bit of time to figure out how to login.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomniu:
Hello all,

I have encountered a problem on my i9308 galaxy s3 so I hope some of you on xda could help me out.

First of all, I got the phone from China Mobile. As such, there was no play store or any google related apps. Thus I flashed a custom rom using cwm.

Everything was fine, until I noticed the micro sim card was not recognized, and so I flashed everything back to the stock rom. But now, even though I do get bars, whenever I try to call, it says "not registered on the network".

I also tried flashing a custom rom in cwm then flash the i9308 modem in odin, but the stop sign symbol is still present. I also tried flashing an UK firmware (PDA) and the i9308 modem but odin fails at the modem flashing part.

Frustrated, I took the phone to the T-mobile store, but they figure out what's wrong with the phone. They gave me the number for tech support, but I have a feeling that they won't resolve this problem.

Thank you for reading this post, sorry for the long story, but I wanted to give the whole picture for my problem.

I would gladly appreciate any help at all, so post your ideas, even if it's far fetched. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JusDigital:
No, the Galaxy S3 GT-i9308 is only sold by the company China Mobile, so if you've never lived in China, you probably have never seen one.

On another note, I'm still having the same issues. I flashed the i9300 (US) firmware onto my i9308 to basically turn the OS into an american version but now my SIM is not being recognized and the phone will not register for any updates. Im going to just flash back to the stock i9308 firmware, root it then uninstall all the chinese apps, flash to AT&T and it should work fine considering I was able to flash to ATT, previously, before flashing the i9300 firmware, and everything worked fine except for having problems getting the Google App store to work correctly and such...which I'm sure I can play around with it a little longer to figure that out. Anyways - hopefully some of my errors will help stop others from doing the same.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baliriot:
yes you can just do the first step without proceed to flashing custom recovery and rooting :)

however, you should know that firmware flashing via Odin will result to flash binary counter increased, so technically your device will lose warranty as well...

I doubt Samsung will honor your warranty

I have an american purchased p3113 and was informed by their online support for warranty it can only be honored if picked up from an address in the country of purchase. You could log in to the samsung support site to verify your warranty situation if it concerns you.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baliriot:
flash binary counter is what samsung use as mechanism to detect flashing firmwares without using official tools provided by samsung ota or via samsung kies... also as their alibi not to be held responsible if consumer modified/upgrading without official tools... ;)

ok, here's a good thing, i've heard & read from users experience in forums, blogs & my own friends have their samsung devices sent to back to samsung centers & got their warranty claims granted even with rooted or flash binary counter increased... more about luck i guess... :fingers-crossed:

Any help please?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Try doing a manual install through device manager.

AKA: Don't let windows look for the driver. Use the other option, and it should give you a list of "possible" drivers. Generally you will get a warning saying "this doesn't look to be compatible....blah blah blah" Ignore it.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] jrichardsMav:
managed to go through some convoluted way to disable driver signature enforcement

managed to install the google usb driver, for my a500

then did the same with the apx

blackthund3r a500 apx flash utility still didnt work asking for acer drivers

i tried installing both versions of the driver numerous times. no luck.

help?! lol
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Try the Google Drivers. Just google "Android USB Drivers". Should be the first result. It's about a 65mb download.

Also, seeing you are about to do what I "think" you are going to do, it's best to go ahead and download and install the Android SDK, then the google drivers. (considering you are in the SDK pages anyhow). You will need the fastboot and adb commands if your flashing doesn't go as expected.

Then manually install the google drivers like I stated earlier.

With the tab in APX mode, do the manual install through device manager like I stated. You should get a choice for APX or Recovery driver, or something or other. Ignore the warnings.

[Acer Iconia A500] jrichardsMav:
I tried the google driver, that gets me adb, but when i look for the google driver in apx mode, i dont see an apx option.

I mean I don't see an APX or Recovery Driver option.
[Acer Iconia A500] taodan:
Windows 8 is not officially released yet and that could be the reason you couldn't install the driver. Did you create dual boot (i.e., Windows 7 and Windows 8) in your PC? You should have dual boot specially when trying Windows beta version.
[Acer Iconia A500] s3a500:
Had exactly the same issue last night, apx simply does not work on win 8 yet as soon as a switched to win 7 with the same driver pack it worked fine
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Use the acer driver installer then point device manager at that folder
[Acer Iconia A500] SmashMatt:
I have the same problem. I contacted about it, but they couldn't give me the information I needed. So I opened the driver information in device manager and found that the part of the drivers that was for APX mode wasn't compatible, but it happened to work int Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It only worked on that one computer though.

My advice is to find someone with a Windows 7 computer and use that for what you need to do.
[Acer Iconia A500] taodan:
Why need to find someone who has Windows 7 while it is easier to partition your PC's hard drive and then install Windows 7 and you will have both OS, Windows 7 and 8, with dual boot. And BTW, don't mess someone's PC when it is not necessary and you don't want them to blame you if something goes wrong with their PC.
[Acer Iconia A500] SmashMatt:
I need to find someone who has a Windows 8 computer because my computer no longer has Windows 7 because I had to buy a blank hard drive, since the one that had Windows 7 got fried.

I don't have a recovery disc either.
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
You can use virtualization solution, like free virtualbox, and run Windows 7 inside Windows 8. With usb support in virtualbox you can set that your tablet is visible to virtualized Windows 7 instead of your host system.
[Acer Iconia A500] taodan:
You can download Windows 8 at Microsoft website.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Virtualised APX is known to be buggy. Anything with low-level USB code generally is.
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
I haven't tried using APX in vbox yet, but I was using vbox with fastboot many times when doing some modifications to bootloader source code (all coding, compilng and flashing was done on Linux in vbox).
[Acer Iconia A500] SmashMatt:
That was a typo. I meant Windows 7 instead of 8.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Either use your retail disc, or if it came with your machine, use your recovery disc. If you didn't get a recovery disc and it was instead a recovery partition, you can request a recovery disc from the OEM.
[Acer Iconia A500] tennessee_titan:
All of this told me ( and I am sure others) virtually nothing. I have seen reference to Acer drivers, adb drivers and APX drivers. I really don't understand the difference, what I need, or how I get them.

All of this Windows 7/8 discussion is very confusing!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
@Tennessee

It means win+8 is next to useless for using any of the flash tools until Acer provides driver support. Stick with win7/xp if you're needing to update bootloaders or unbrick via EUU etc
