[Transformer TF300T General] Mark930:
Yes because i got syrup on my kindle fire and it scratched the hell out of it trying to wipe it off. Don't fell like risking that again with my pad. Took me 2 screen protectors but its perfectly on there not a air bubble in sight.
[Transformer TF300T General] brochador:
Yes. and i'm using zagg, no bubble at all, I never read the instructions on the package I just watched youtube tut on how to apply it properly..:D

I put this coz my kids are using it a lot, I wan't to buy any case for this too but i can't find any here in Toronto..
[Transformer TF300T General] stuchu:
I don't have one on at the moment considering I'm usually using it with the keyboard dock.

But I am interested in how a screen protector reduces smudge marks on the screen. I can't seem to keep my screen clean for long at all. Maybe I've just got super dirty hands haha ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
YES! ....why u might ask... The screen isnt scratch resistant and the dock scratches my TF so yeah ..., I bought mine from eBay lol but I used to use the protectors for galaxy tab 10.1 haha

And some advice: don't buy those glare-reducing protectors, it distorts colour.

Like the teenage girl said...

... I haven't gotten pregnant yet. Why use protection?

Reasons you don't need a screen protector for your TF300T:

1. I'm crazy rich. If it gets a scratch, I'll just replace it with a TF700-- so why is it then that you're here on this page?http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

2. The slightest increase in screen friction messes with my crazy gaming skillz.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

3. I'm a total klutz. The "bubble" area will always be 2X the "protector" area http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/silly.gif no matter many help videos I watch.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

4. I'm too cheap to use protection (Don't let your girlfriend/boyfriend read about this.)http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/fingers-crossed.gif

Reasons to use a screen protector (which I do):

1. I'm crazy poor. If I do something stupid, like scratch my screen, it will be there as an infuriating reminder for a long time.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

2. You don't have to be running Hydo 4.1 project buttery smooth, to have a butterfingers moment of regret.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

3. The ability to apply a large ("^2) screen screen protector w/o having it remind you constantly of Champagne, is just another the skills that a true Dude has mastered, on his/her way to Dudeship.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

4. I'm too cheap not to use protection (You might want to keep that from the spousehttp://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Like he/she doesn't already know that! http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

[Transformer TF300T General] MetalSheeps:
I had a bad expeirance with one of those plastic screen protectors....thinking these things were great using them on my digital camera and what not I put one on my E-Reader, it must have been on there for 10-12 months so I figured to take it off and put a new one on....well holy cow It left a residue that was near impossible to remove. After using every chemical in the house I managed to get it off...never never never again will I use that rubbish on my tablet....Plus stll to this day I havent scratched my tablet without one.
[Transformer TF300T General] craobhruadh:
Yep

Yes and I use the Shimono version. It was a little scary to use at first as it uses a liquid spray to apply it but once put on properly(took me two tries) it was perfect. No bubbles very damage resistant and looks perfect on the screen. No glare and works just like the screen on it. For me a screen protector is a must and I am pleased with this one. Every clumsy throw your keys and sharp metal object chucker need one.....
[Transformer TF300T General] Admiral2145:
yes I use a screen protector from ghost armour...it covers the front back and sides of the tablet, and also my dock.... its gun-metal silver FTW
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
Same here. I bought a case, stylus, screen protector combo on Ebay a few days ago. Just got it today, applied the screen protector and I can hardly even tell it's on there. The anti-glare comes in handy too. I apply screen protectors to all of my devices. Who knows, I may want to sell it down the road and a scratch free screen will be a selling point.:D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I think go for cyanogen based roms like cm7 or cm9 which lets you use wifi even in airplane mode(so it saves battery by not using radio)

Also there is techdevils Gaming rom ( TUG) which works great on rom and is very light

you need unlocked bootloader for them

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legolas.w:
Hi,

I am planning to buy the developer edition and take back with me to Europe. My network provider supports:

Required	:GSM 900

Recommended	:GSM 900 and GSM 1800

4G LTE: 900, 2600, and 800

Based on these I assume that the phone would work with my network provider as the same freq. are supported by the phone. (though not all of the LTE freq but one would be enough).

My question is whether the phone is locked to work only on verizon or it work with any other network with similar freq?

Thanks.

Hi everybody..

I have a strange and boring issue with my micro SD card that I use with my smartphone.. Today, while I was reading a PDF book the phone freezes it self: the only solution was to reboot it!

But.. WOW; 'till that moment the phone doesn't recognize my micro-SD any more!! It doesn't give warnings or messages.. nothing.. the only problem is that my SD card is inserted but the phone won't read it..

I mount the micro sd into my Slackware laptop and it still have partitions but they are all read-only! Every thing I try to do (copy files, move, delete etc) fails with a read-only warning!

So I try to format all from the scratch.. but it is not possible!! It doesn't let me format my SD for the same reason: read-only file system!!

WOW!! It's absurd!!

What can I do? is there a solution for that?

I tried to use fsck, badblocks, mkfs but nothing helped!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SErooted:
Alright, so I had an interesting problem with my phone yesterday. I had deodexed my rom and was trying a few things with it. I attempted to re odex my rom, "ICS". Well when attempting to run the script that I had found, "I will post link later", I had a very bad experience.

I shut down my phone and attempted to boot, and had no such luck. it kept booting past sony into CWM and would freeze after a few moments and my screen would go red and then reboot again, Repeatedly.

I thought I could try some hardware key combos, " power + vol up/down/camera... different variations of them.

My screen went back with just the back light showing with no logo or OS, I had the error of QHUSB_Dload pop up on my computer after plugging in and attempting to recover through SEUS/PCC/or flashtool. "QHUSB_Dload drivers can be found by googling them, I think I found them in Xperia S forums.

After talking with sony support, they had informed of letting the phone battery die and try charging it, well support said it would take 4-6 hours, battery was @ 79% when starting, it took 14 hours to finally die "no joke".

Once battery was dead and screen was no longer backlit, i plugged it in using my wall charger and did not touch it for about four hours, i then decided that i will not tempt fate and power on, " might have booted, might not have", I ran flashtool and reflashed ICS. from there phone booted back to the way i had it and have not had any issues. thought it would be a heads up if anyone runs into this issue again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NoobTW:
So do I. I got the same problem...

Just charge if for 14 hours will be ok?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panicc.co:
Yes let it die completely then 're charge to 60% about 5-6 hrs then reflash ics Rom.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smithyster:
Hey guys.

I was doing a full wipe, to reinstall Jellybean Rom, which I had been running for 2 weeks. Thought I'd give it good wipe and update to the latest version.

I wiped.

Then I tried to format the system. This was taking ages, longer than usual, and for some reason I decided to reboot and do it again as it may have got stuck.

Now the tablet won't boot, so I can't get it in to recovery or download mode, as it won't turn on at all.

There was about 70% battery remaining.

Any ideas?

Edit: The only thing I seem able to do is see it as an APX device in Device Manager. I have tried holding down power buttons, volume buttons etc.

Did you try posting in the thread where you downloaded the rom from because they might help you ?

Were you using a JB rom or jellybeanICS rom (toldos rom } ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smithyster:
Yeah I bought it in June, but I don't know if they'll help me?

I haven't tried posting there, as I guess it isn't a rom issue, it is because the system shut down whilst formatting, and perhaps now has nothing to boot off of?

Toldos Jellybean at the time.

So I thought it might be a ROM issue so I thought of going back to ICS stock again.

I can only go to download more.

Can My phone be saved?

I don't know if it was because I flashed the latest leak or it's just a network issue.

After that I couldn't even check balance.

However I could get incoming calls and messages.Even after that.

Could the flash have ruined something?

I have now reverted back to stock ICS and wiped the user data.

When you call someone their facebook status flashes very briefly across the screen, below their picture, but then goes away when it starts ringing. It isn't there long enough for me to read it ever. This is stupid. And there has to be a way to make this last longer..

Hello guys, Long time lurker first time poster, I dropped my tablet last night and now it will not do anything, and i mean anything, no lights just a little vibration when I hold the power button for about 15 seconds. do you guys thing the MOBO is dead or just the screen and digitizer? I'm afraid the worst has happened and it is completely dead but i would like to get a few opinions first.

Thanks a lot guys, also I might have had one too many drinks before posting this so please excuse any nonsense, I've proofread this thing about 10 times so hopefully all is good.

also my drunk self doesnt know what hes talking about as the drop happened last week i just got around to messing with it last night.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
I've tried many players including DicePlayer, VPlayer Video, RockPlayer, QQPlayer, MX Player, MoboPlayer, etc...

ALL above players lag when playing 1080P MKV files. The only player that JUST about manages to play 1080P MKV files close to smooth is VPlayer, the rest lag and the movie appears to be playing in slo mo...

Other problem is that every couple of seconds the movie buffers which results in a split second pause which is annoying. Audio is slightly out of sync too...

It is not my memory card as I'm using the 32gb Sandisk ultra class 10 micro sd card which is specified to play full HD movies without a problem...

Read/write speeds are 30MB/s so I would of expected it to perform better...

I've read something about increasing memory card speeds in the Tab by using some application which boosts & gives you the absolute maximum read/write times from the memory card.

Could anyone guide me on a good application which gives you the best performance out of your Micro SD card?

Also, what else can I do to make HD 1080P movies play smoothly on the Tab 7.7?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ColBill:
Have you tried mVideoPlayer by Daniel Nilsson?

I play movies with no lag from my 32 gbsd card. This player might help. i could not tell from your post if you had used it already.

I tried the above player and there will still lag. However, I found THREE different versions on the market place. Which of the 3 should I try?

I've tried the mVideoPlayer OId edition - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyLm9sZCJd

Then there is the mVideoPlayer Pro version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyLnBybyJd

And finally there is mVideoPlayer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiYWZ6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyIl0.

Which version are you using?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:

I don't know if I'm missing something here but, why would you want to play 1080p files on a 7 inch screen? My 1080p movies in mkv format are anything from 10gb to 30gb.

I transcode with dvdfab or similar which brings an HD movie down to not much more than 1gb at the quality is still brilliant! And there are no problems in read speeds and loads can be stored.

Or did I miss the point somewhere?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kanej2006:
Or I could do 720P HD rips, keeping a high bitrate keeps higher quality. And as you said, on a 7'' screen there's not much difference in 720P & 1080P...

Even on my 32'' LED IPS 1080P TV, comparing 720P & 1080P can be difficult at times...
