I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.

The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than

scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came

with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.

I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like

babying this phone too much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.

However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htcbrazilian:
Lol yeah I think I'm stick with a screen protector
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.

*this is based on my previous girlfriends. You might be cleaner than them.

i use the screen protector that came with my otterbox. after awhile you don't notice it's there.

i got a little nick in the screen protector on my last phone. i don't want to know what would have happened without it!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htcbrazilian:
Yeah I just though the screen couldn't get scratched . But guess I'm keep mine on .
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Only problem with me is I hate to cover up this beautiful screen! It was the main selling point of the phone for me. The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD. It'll preserve the glass, but I'll get a new phone with my upgrade and this one will be passed down to maybe my godchild or someone. Screen protectors are perfect for long term users/others looking for the highest resale value
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htcbrazilian:
Yeah I want to keep.in good condition because when a new phone I like comes out I sell this one.and put up the difference . Because I don't got a contact and get upgrades. I wish lol I wouldn't have to pay so much for phones
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] d.cortez:
this is the second reason i use a screen protector (e.g., helps with resale value). :) i've had one on my phone from day one; not much of risk taker when it comes to the screen. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
No screen protector here. Not one scratch either. This screen is too nice to cover up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htcbrazilian:
Yeah some people I know told me they didn't get scratches some told me they did. I'm on the.fence of taking mine off. Or find a really good screen protector
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Wobzy:
I've always preferred naked.

Having said that I've damaged a few too.

If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.

The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.

The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.

I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WarRaven:
I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.

I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.

Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
I have always preferred naked phones.

I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.

Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)

Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't have a case but always had a clear screen protection on my devices amd never felt a difference. I'd rather pit one on then having to look at a deep scratch every time I look at the screen, that's thousand times more annoying to me.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iqsoft:
Hi All,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 International Edition. I installed JIMBO_MIUI_V-2.9.21_SGS3_INTL on my phone and all was good for a day or so. Then I noticed that I could not got into Play Store. it would open but just show Loading and the circle would keep spinning around. I downloaded several google store apks from 4shared.com and tried installing them but nothing worked. I would still get the same circle and loading sign...

I tried re installing the ROM. After re install I could not even sign into my gmail account. It would just show "Signing In, This can take a few minutes" and remain stuck on this screen...

I have tried to install several other custom ROMs but to no avail. I have tried full wipe, factory reset, re-rooting using cf etc..

The only time that I can sign in is if I flash a stock ROM using ODIN and then update Samsing Apps... If I try to flash any custom ROM after that I am back to the same problem...

PLEASE HELP!!!!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0kker:
Hi all,

I was wondering today if it would be possible to resize the internal memory (emmc) of this phone in order to create an ext3 partition (on the emmc, not the SdCard) in order to put some apps there with link2sd ?

I know it's easier to make that on the sdcard but... correct me if i'm wrong but, emmc speed must be better than sdcard (even class10), no?

I thought it would be great to put the "big ones" (mostly games) on an ext3 partition and get benefits from high speed memory like emmc.

And restoring an ext3 partition with apps on it is way more quicker than restore apps with TIBackup, all roms testers know what i'm talking about.

But as i said above, i may be wrong all the way, could someone bring me the light?

Thanks for reading !
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Not possible as far as I know. Internal EMMC is already a partition, you can't partition it any further.

What's the point anyway? IMO, link2sd is mostly useful on devices with little internal storage available. The Atrix has plenty...

which apk is for using default Neo 587 lockscreen I want it on Ice Cream Pureness
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] svprm:
Lock screen is located in framework-res.apk

You have to edit the framework-res.apk according to your rom.

Otherwise it will cause the boot loop.

There's no oficial ics (android 4.0) for galaxy ace. Just browse through the stickies, there's a guide to use odin to flash a stock firmware. Go to sammobile, or with check fus downloader maybe you can find the stock rom you had to flash with odin.

hey guyez ..

i just bought a new galaxy tab 7.7 3G / WiFi (P6800)

it comes with Honey Comb 3.2 .. i have to say it's a little laggy

saw that there r ICS versions out .. so i was thinking to upgrade from HC to ICS .. but got many questions

1- what's the best ICS out yet ? there r LQ1, LQ2 and LP5 i think

2- is it safe to make wipes ? saw there is brick bug and i don't want to lose the tab i just bought .. saw that there is a safe kernel or CWM .. somthing like that

3- is ICS better than HC in general ? heared that ICS is way faster and smoother than HC

thanks in advance for who will answer my questions .. i really appreciate it cuz i just bought the tab and dunno any thing yet :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
On LQ1 here. ICS IMO is much smoother and responsive than HC. I flashed (after rooting) the Austria ICS ROM from samfirmware.com then installed TWRP. All is well on my unit. Let mobileODIN do all the work. If I recall I didn't wipe Davik or cache.

Follow steps exactly and all should be well.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetables:
Thanks for ur answer .. but still need some things to know

What is TWRP ? and what i have to do with mobileOdin ?

And is there any safe kernel i could use to make wipes ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
TWRP is a custom recovery. Read about it here

mobileODIN is, IMO, the closest thing to "fool-proof" ODIN one can get. It almost won't let you do anything that would bork your flash. Very handy. And doesn't require using a computer. Works on your tab.

I've not needed to install any kernels. If I felt the need, I can assure you MUCH research would be in order before wiping anything. Many have been reporting Superbrick occurrences (or similar).

HTH
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetables:
so there is no way to make wipe safely ? what if i want to wipe .. ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmbomb:
i believe you can wipe all you want to, as long as you're on HC.....

Do not wipe anything on ICS....

do all your wipes and resets on HC first..

then flash LRQ..

all done... fresh install.. don't wipe after ICS install..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetables:
Okey .. thanks for ur answer

The reason i was asking that i got the same problem on my galaxy note

ICS kernels r buggy and will brick the note if i wiped on them .. and to avoid that i flash safe kernel (GB kernel) then reboot recovery then wipe

And after wiping on the GB kernel .. i flash any ICS kernel back
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Admittedly, I have not read ALL the posts on those who have has issues and those who have not. Personally, unless the flash requires a wipe, seldom do I wipe (except Dalvik). Some have reported "leftover files and whatnot" from repeated previous flashing that would require wipes but I've not encountered a situation that absolutely required a full wipe.

I tend to approach android as I do medicine..do the least needed to avoid problematic interactions!
