Like the idea, but getting a parse error when I click on the link.

Edit: odd, got that error using my tab, but not with my phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Sorry about that lol, I was editing the script when you were trying to access it, everything is working now, was just adding a bit of validation to the script (making sure it checks to see if the user entered a valid email address, or didn't leave the field blank so the script does not add any empty records to the database lol as well as checking if the devices the users is signing up for is a valid Acer device, so it won't have junk records from spambots, just making sure that database stays nice and clean.

Also with this feature, users who do not have a build for there iconia device yet can sign up to be notified for when there is one released.. like the a501 users.

Not sure if you read this already but, as I mentioned a few posts back, on the download page, you can sign up to be notified of a new release by submitting your email or if you know your cellphones texting email you can add that as well (I.e. Verizon USA is number@vtext.com so like 5552271234@vtext.com you can Google search to find out your carriers texting email format)

Looks like they fixed the bug where Chrome would hang the OS when accessing DISQUS. So far, so good... :)

Update: I spoke too soon. Just hung Android while surfing a real-estate site. :(

Where is the dalvik-cache here? I would expect it should be in /cache but with all this ROM flashing and 278 dalvik-cache entries to create with each flash, the option to have the cache for data apps in /data/dalvik-cache looks attractive. Any way of controlling this in Android?
[Acer Iconia A500] blazingwolf:
CM10 loads dalvik-cache in to 2 areas. Here is the code from the init.rc for the creation of those locations.

# create dalvik-cache and double-check the perms, so as to enforce our permissions
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache 0771 system system
chown system system /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache

mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache 0771 system system
chown system system /cache/dalvik-cache
chmod 0771 /cache/dalvik-cache
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
That's bizarre. For me my /data/dalvik-cache is a symlink to /cache/dalvik-cache. Maybe it's because I made it a symlink a while ago on thor/digetx ICS to save data space and make use of cache and the init script doesn't want to overwrite the symlink. Fair enough. I'll play with it and update :)
[Acer Iconia A500] rkennedy01:
Yeah, sorry about that! It did hold up for a while but then boinked. In fact, I'm starting to lose patience with Android overall. Coming from a Playbook, where I can count the number of times I've had to reboot due to an error on one hand, this lockup-every-hour crap is getting old fast. I've rebooted 5 times so far today. I know it's an unofficial "homebrew" build, but this stuff seems structural. Even ICS locks up with Chrome!

And I can't stand Dolphin's UI (leave the friggin' tabs on top, please!), so... :(

something weird

something weird happened to the tablet using cyanongenmod 10 latest version 30/08/12, when trying to unblock the tablet with the blocker app suddenly it rebooted itself, this has happened 3 times already. I firstly did a full wipe of data,cache, dalvik and battery!!!!Everything else was working flawless!!!!

[Acer Iconia A500] idtheftvictim:
Thank you so much for answering
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
It turns out deleting my /data/dalvik-cache symlink fixed my issue and all the data@ dexes are in there now.

So quick tip for all: if you want your WHOLE dalvik-cache in /cache/dalvik-cache to save space in /data, make /data/dalvik-cache a symlink to /cache/dalvik-cache :)

I have the same problem :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Honder:
That actually looks pretty impressive - My only concern would be having the home button be even more recessed. I'm already not too happy with how much effort it requires to press the home button. I know .4mm isn't much, but it's still less than without the protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
I know .. me too ... but now that I see it written, versus having it said .. you know .4mm ... that's like next to nothing. But we'll see soon!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
Yeah I ordered it one month ago, been rocking a cheapo xtremeguard screen protector waiting
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
wouldnt this also run the risk of being scratched (like the glass)? .. screen protector for this screen protector anyone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
has anyone installed it yet?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babymatteo:
Honestly, i don't like the idead of having glass over glass. I had the Glass.T SGP on my GNote and didn't like it. Just my .02
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LRT:
Was it the feel of the glass? Was the image bad? Did it leave air bubbles?

What was wrong with it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
i dont really get this. what if it gets scratched?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babymatteo:
I guess the only reason i didn't like it was because it messed with the usage of the S-Pen. Also it made the screen somewhat less responsive and inaccurate at times.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LRT:
Then you say to yourself "I'm glad I had it installed" lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
It's glass..im expecting a scratch here and there, however, the screen underneath will stay mint and it's been said that this won't bubble up since it's one solid piece.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
I might get this once its in stock look good so ill have a replacement covering the front and back lol... I just hate ordering something without a solid release date

Sent from my Sprint GS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] turbosrrgood:
Lol, what's not to get? The whole idea of a screen protector is to protect the glass built into the phone (not easily replaced). If the protector gets scratched, that means it did it's job and should be replaced. At 8h it's far harder than even the most premium plastic screen protectors, and barely more expensive.

Seems promising but, I'll wait for some reviews before I'd seriously consider it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
I paid $27 including tax for a Zagg HD that performs in the $10-$15 protector range. This is $2 or so more delivered. I'm in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
I know itll get scratched, but its glass, when it gets scratched, its there, it will not heal itself like other screen protectors and this is not just those cheap ones that you can just change. And i do use use a screen protector on mine. Im just saying, for that price when it gets scratched, its going to stay there. But i know itll protect the screen underneath, and thats good. But for that price, changing it when it gets brutally scratched is a pain in the ass.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
Is it really coming out?? So interested in but not sure how it's gonna adhere the curved edge. I know there are a lot of "curved" screen protector for now, but isn't glass too rigid for making it? If it works fine, I would love to buy one, but it's still risky to invest more than $30 for screen protector. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] turbosrrgood:
I think your main point here is really price. All screen protectors can get scratched, and when they do you replace them. This is certainly a "premium" product, and yes you have to pay more. This product certainly should be more scratch resistant than other screen protectors, so in theory you would need to replace it less often. More importantly to me, it is a

real glass

experience and feel, and should be perfectly clear.

Basically you are paying more for a more durable, clearer, easier to install, high quality screen protector.

Personally I would be interested if the quality is as advertised, I will wait for some ginny pigs to report their findings first though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Why would this scratch less than other screen protectors? From my experience the GLASS screen tends to scratch easier than a screen protector. A good screen protector rather. So why wouldnt you buy a good screen protector that does not easily scratch vs a piece of glass that would scratch just as easily as the screen plus is more expensive than the other types of screen protectors
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
The hardness scale goes from 1H to 10H with diamonds being the top dog. This product is marketed as 8H tempered glass meaning only (9-10)H stuff can scratch it. Regular glass is 5.5H.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
On the OP there is a link to the product page. Use that link to contact Xgear and ask them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
Yeah I emailed them directly on their site but they haven't answered me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] headcheese:
I hear you guys and if they will take it back after you use it good for you!

But cmon what other screen protector out there could you possibly return?

The few issues about this product have already been discussed, you know what you're getting into.

Put it on and use it. Or send it back UNUSED asap.

I am using mine and like it. The dots bug me a bit but whatever. Its still cool. No one I know has a glass screen protector. If it proves to be durable I think its totally worth it.

They worked hard and took a risk on this product. Its not perfect but I think its a sign of better things to come.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] komugi:
For me, I notice it when:

- I'm driving with the screen on when sun shines directly on the device

- When the screen is off and light shining directly on the device,

- When screen is on with full brightness, and the screen being 2-3 inch away from my eyes.

Personally, I don't think this is as big of a deal as some people are making it out to be. If it really is does bother you, get a dry protector. Personally I think it feels great, and feels just like using the device naked.

Dots/No Dots

So I ordered two of these which arrived yesterday. One white for my wife's S3 and one blue for mine. After applying both I can say that the white one is excellent and the "dots" do not stand out enough to be of major concern. However, the blue one looks like it has rhinestones embedded and will light up the screen of the phone like Times Square.

I'm not sure what the difference between the two are or if all blue variants suffer from this issue. I emailed xgear last night stating the hugely noticeable difference between the two protectors and have not heard back yet. I'll post an update here when/if I do hear back.

Has anyone else ordered more than one and noticed a diff between them?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
wow.... hmmm... interesting! PLEASE keep us posted!! I got the white, as long as that holds true about them barely noticeable, i'm all over this!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
U might want to call them. I emailed them and they never responded :(

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dave1977nj:
Thank you
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Let me be clear.... you will notice them. Whether it'll bother you so much is a different thing..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
gotcha, thanks for clearing that up! How would you rate it 1-10? 10 being they look like boulders on the screen -vs the pic that was posted so I have some reference.

-milkybarkid's pic from post #177
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dave1977nj:
The "dots" are noticeable from normal viewing areas. If I had know this before I would have not purchased the screen protector. They show up on anything light colored on the screen. When I open my browser and go to my Google homepage it looks terrible. If it weren't for this issue and or intentional manufacturing idea to block out UV rays, I'd say it's a great product but with this it gets a thumbs down for me. Edit: I also notice a rainbow wave in the middle of the screen and it moves when you touch any part of the screen.

Quote: "The dots like a chess in the glass, we called UV handling, this is a kind of high patent technology.

"We produced glass before, many customers said the glass would appear rainbow in the screen. This is because between tempered glass and phone glass, there has air and will appear rainbow. The display will become deformed.

Now, all of our glasses are processing by this UV technology. Whatever how long you use,

there will not appear rainbow

."

Not so, I have a rainbow in the middle of my screen... so whats the point of the UV technology with the dots? Now I have dots and rainbows!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bhazard451:
Nice concept, but its just not quite there yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
I believe they said that they were a part of the UV protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pmoradi2002:
You installed it incorrectly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
Yeah I emailed them on weds to question cancelling my order. They never responded and today I get by shipment notice. Maybe i'll just return it right out without even opening it. IMO that's a lot to spend on something that could potentially be very annoying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
If anyone is interested I emailed then again and here's their response to returns

Beth,

We offer a 30 day return policy, shipping charges are non-refundable and non-defective opened items are subject to a 20% restocking fee depending on the issue.

Thank you,

Poya Moradi XGear
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
$30 for protector, ~$8 shipping = $38

20% Restock fee = $6

Return Shipping = ~$8

$38 - $24 (returned from $30 protector) + $8 shipping back = $22 in the hole

That being said, anyone with a white one, hit me up if you don't want it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dasgh:
I did receive an email response and it seems a replacement is on the way. I'll update this thread when it arrives to verify any differences between the two (original vs replacement).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kabro91:
Okay so the dots are noticeable but they are no too annoying. I would say that the biggest issue was with the proximity sensor for me but they shipped me a replacement ASAP. The interim fix with the sharpie was a bad idea as I got some black marks on the phone that were a pain to clean off. But their customer service has been top notch
[Galaxy S III Accessories] steelfatboy1:
No, he didn't. I also have slight "oil-slick rainbow" in the very middle in certain light. It does not bother me. The dots are distracting but I will live with it. Overall, very good screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dave1977nj:
um no, I installed it correctly I followed the instructions to the T :eek:

I'm not a noob I've put on screen protectors plenty of times. :victory:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Installed the "fixed" replacement and guess what. Still have proximity issues. Can't use the screen once I hit send.

I had high hopes for this product but if I can't use my phone it fails utterly. I will be returning them.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] trueagle:
I installed the white one on blue sgs3. Its great, very sensitive to the touch. Works great with Verizon oem case. Had rainbow in middle at first but rubbed out after a little use. All screen protector have problems of some sort.this one is awesome . It really brings out the colors of the movies.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kabro91:
I don't get how you can still have a problem? I ordered a replacement but in the mean time I colored the defective one with a sharpie and no sensor issue whatsoever
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
I'm not sure either but I did.

I put it on and called my wife's phone and the screen went black couldn't use it at all. Pulled it off and it worked fine. Installed it again and same thing happened.

Maybe my sensor is extra sensitive?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kabro91:
Well maybe if you really like the Protector try is with the sharpie trick. I am getting my replacement tomorrow and if it doesn't work I guess I'll just end up doing that to it too.... I am getting some rainbow ing now as well in the middle of my screen
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
I can confirm that the "fixed" batch still has the proximity problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Glad I'm not the only one. Now they can't say it's my fault.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
It might be because the "film" they used isn't anti-reflective enough. Lets cut them some slack, this isn't a very common type of protector
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
Sorry to ask but what's the issue exactly? Is the cut out wrong or is it not clear for the sensor?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Im in the same boat....waiting to see the next step..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Here's the explanation as to why this occurs:

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
One of the most vital issues when capacitive touchscreens where to be used for cell phones was that during the call, the moment one held the phone to their ear, it would disconnect because your skin would press the on-screen buttons. The fix to this? A proximity sensor.

The proximity sensor has a length of about 5 CM, and when it feels there's something (in this care the side of your face) near it during a call, the screen turns off as to avoid having the on-screen buttons triggered by your skin. This works perfectly with a naked phone, but with this glass screen protector, specifically the white one, it's too reflective on it. The consequence is that the proximity sensor is constantly "covered", and when initiating a call it automatically goes dark; now this would be fine were it a perfect world were calls don't need interrupting, people always answer, and hang up- but it's not! The actual "problem" is that sometimes the call routes to a voicemail, or the other party doesn't hang up, or the worse case scenario- you need to interact with your phone whilst talking.. the flaw with the reflective properties in conjunction with the proximity sensor is that it doesn't allow you to leave the black screen which leaves you with the option of either waiting for the person or machine to hang up, or pulling the battery from your phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kabro91:
I don't get why the sharpie trick works then because you're not supposed to cover the sensor hole, because I mean on my phone I didn't cover the actual hole it still is clear like it was before and now all of the sudden it works
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cary328is:
Coloring around the proximity sensor hole limits the light reflection AROUND the proximity sensor - think of the black eye marks underneath athletes' eyes to limit the amount of sunlight reflecting into their eyes. The white paint basically allowed just enough light to enter through the sides of the proximity sensor to make it not function correctly. Coloring around the sensor limited the light coming in around the sensor hole thus making the sensor function properly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
fantastic way to describe it! I was trying to find a way but failed to come up with anything
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
OK now I understand. So we just blacken the inside of the proximity hole on the protector then.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
The sticker they put on the inside of the protector they sent me is very small and the holes are to big. I can see white screen between the sticker and the clear sensor opening. This is probably why it still isn't fixed.

Also the black sticker is visible through the protector. When it was installed I could see the black through the front of the protector when looking at the phone. I know some people were asking about this earlier in the thread.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] deeznutz1977:
I bought the screen protector and the carbon fiber EXO Skin. The screen protector does have the little dots on the screen, its not that bad honestly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Can you confirm for us that since you have the pebble blue s3 that you don't have the proximity issue (screen not turning on after making a call and unable to hang up)?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] d.cortez:
i installed the "Pebble Blue" version on my device and i have not experienced the proximity sensor issue. i really like how the pebble blue version is much darker and less reflective than the front of the phone. i do, however, see the dots everyone else has mentioned. under indoor lighting it's noticeable in different areas of the screen with white/light backgrounds, e.g., depends on the viewing angle. i haven't looked at the screen outdoors yet. will try the protector for a few days to determine if the dots-issue will outweigh the screen protection benefits. as an FYI, i'm using the protector with the grey ROCK sand case and it fits perfectly. to my surprise, when i place the phone face down, the phone still rests on the lip on the ROCK case and not the screen protector. hope this helps...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cleblanc92:
Same setup and response as Cortez above....I am going to keep it and see how it holds up long term.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tedkord:
I got my pebble blue spectre the other day, just installed it 20 minutes ago. I wanted to wait until my Trident Kraken arrived, and it came in today.

I can verify that I have no proximity sensor issue (so far, anyway). Unfortunately, I can also verify that the dots are very visible against a bright or white background. They're going to drive me crazy.

The home button is a bit odd to push now, but it's tough to get at anyway because of the lip of the Kraken at the bottom of the screen. It's not really an issue, just takes a bit of getting used to.

On the plus side, the fit and build are great. And, it fits just fine under the Kraken, feels just like a naked screen. But those damned dots...

Based on those, I just can't recommend the Spectre. It almost looks like I've got tiny drops of water on the screen, they retract the light into a rainbow effect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Treikens:
Hey can somebody explain what the sharpie trick is, like with details please.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Sharpie trick didn't work for me. It didn't work on my phone or my wife's phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SwervFusion:
Nice review. You're not talking about the hole for the led notification are you?

Pic??

Hmm..I gotta do something about this proximity ish.. :-/ ..the protector is great otherwise ......

..Also.. I'm not sure about this rainbowing folks mention. I've had mine for a week and I see no rainbows. The dots are sparkly at times but when ur reading you're eyes should focus beyond them after a bit and I honestly forget about them....its really not that bad..
