[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
Well i did it at my dining table and i regretted doing so because I ended up getting a few particles underneath, but all you need to do at that point is take any type of sticker (mine came with 2 stickers which were called Dust Removal stickers, but its truly a regular sticker lol) so I had to use that several times, but the final result is great :)

I ended up ordering the SGP Ultra Crystal and also ordered MobC from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009M7TZYO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00) which ended up coming in first, so I am still waiting for the SGP but honestly i do regret ordering them because the MobC are freakin great, crystal clear, and i have no regrets of putting it on!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] escabar:
For with app screen protectors...exactly as Kobe mentioned. Couple of drops / 1 part dish washing liquid to 5 parts water (distilled water if your tap water has too much minerals)...just so the solution is slippery enough for the application process. Run your finger nail down the edge of the credit card / tool your going to use to ensure there are no nicks / sharp edges that will damage / crease your wet app screen protector.

Steamed bathroom also helps.

I recommend dry applications for flat surface...wet applications for curved surfaces.

With dry app screen protectors, those clear / ultra clear packs off of eBay usually work well. The only issues I have seen is that the adhesive may get weak over time (if you need to lift protector to remove dust then press down again) and initial cutouts maybe hard to see from pics. Eventually these dry app screen protectors fall to 3/5/? packs per <$1 ???

Position the dry app screen protector then apply / remove film. There will probably be dust, pet hair, etc. Lift up one corner / side / section at a time and slide the shipping tape between the screen protector and screen (sticky side of shipping tape against sticky side of screen protector)...then press dry screen protector down on the shipping tape which will also press against the screen. Carefully lift the corner / section of the screen protector...then flip the shipping tape over and slide back under between the screen protector and screen (sticky side of shipping tape now facing screen) if needed. Usually the particle is on the sticky screen protector side, but sometimes it maybe stuck to the screen side. The idea is to use a shipping tape with strong enough adhesive to remove the particle without ripping off / damaging the screen protector adhesive. Painting tape adhesive maybe too weak in removing any dust / pet hairs...UPS grade shipping tape maybe too strong...I like Staples equivalent shipping / packing tape...it has just enough adhesive strength to remove any dust / pet hairs.

Hope some of this helps.

What works for me:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] degeneration:
Got my spigen... I am probably never buying from anyone else. Well, I dunno, but from the packaging to the application I felt like I was using quality. I thought I had ordered the ultra crystal but I actually went for ultra oleophobic for some reason... and I am crossing my fingers that the surface tension changes after some use (doubt it) but it does do what it says, finger prints do not stick. However the down side is the s pen doesn't feel nice against it (it did feel really nice against the crappy matte protector, felt like a pencil on paper, but I couldn't stand the rainbow effect, maybe I will try a spigen matte in the future). Any way, I used the "hinge" technique I saw somewhere online and it worked pretty well. Got 3 pieces of dust under the screen (1 on the screen, 2 on the bezel) and I used some scotch tape to life the protector and one of the included dust removal stickers to quickly take care of the problems.

the protector is FREAKING INVISIBLE! right now the screen is off and I can see reflections, and I can barely make out where the protector ends.

Thanks for everyone who gave me their tips and tricks, I finally have a screen protector on my note that I am happy with.

Also, for those people going naked, it doesn't affect my screen but I saw I already have 2 minute scratches on my screen. I keep my phone in my pocket on its own, and somehow I managed to scratch the screen already (got on release day). I have wasted a bunch of cash getting a screen protector on that I was happy with, and I might spend more in the future, but at least I know that if anything terrible happens I can replace the little piece of plastic instead of forever having to deal with a scratch.

EDIT: playing around with it some and then wiping it off, I already am fine with how the S pen feels. I think it was actually sticking to whatever they used to apply the outer layer of protection that you remove after applying the protector. A little bit more drag then on the naked glass, but I like that I can now get more of a tactile response of my writing. I am hooked on Spigen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] seawolf823:
I do all my screen protectors at the dinning room table in about 2 mins with perfect results every time. I attached a few screenies but they really don't do it justice. It is insanely hard to get a good picture of something clear when using a flash. the specks of dust that are noticable are on top of the protector not underneath. I'm using the spigen oleophobic and love them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sagar023:
I have read quite a lot about this issue, but haven't found a solution yet. The volume output on my Xperia S is very low, but I know there is something which is restricting it from producing a louder volume because when I play a movie using MX player the volume is very loud and crisp.

How do I increase the volume through the headphones? Any fix/mod fr the same?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepsal:
make sure that your phone is rooted,go to play store,download beats audio installer,it did wonders for me....if its still not loud enough

download poweramp,select the loud preset and boost the preamp all the way up

the reason why mx player produces louder sound compared to the stock players because it uses software decoding as opposed to hardware decoding which lets it bypass the inbuilt limit the same applies to poweramp
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KaKaShiHp:
XS

try volume+ on the playstore,the volume 's good but the sound is not good :|
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sourcenemy:
cheers :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
Did you delete the sound level alert apk? I had this issue of it not going above half volume because I deleted the apk before anything else. I had to put it back and let it warn me before removing it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jst0:
Exactly my case. Removed SoundLevelAlert.apk and now can't increase volume with headphones plugged.

I copied the apk back to phone, installed it, but nothing changed. I still can't increase volume over 8/15. Rebooted - no luck.

It was a system app, maybe you can't make it work by just installing the apk?

Any ideas?

//Sony Xperia P, ICS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sagar023:
MX player can play audio files if you do a little tweaking in the settings. The audio quality is just awesome using the h/w+ decoder, beats any market player app in this regard. Hope they make a audio player. Poweramp was good but the sound quality was terribly unpleasant on increasing the volume so I ruled it out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] icemem:
I have the same problem, but do not delete anything. Any idea?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GoldenRazz:
Hm, I don't have these problems. I'm using the Headset which was delivered which my Xperia S or the SONY MDR XB-500 and I think it's loud enough.

My Musicplayer is PowerAmp. So maybe you could change your musicplayer?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aaki_rocker:
i pushed the attached app in system/app !

set permissions to rw-r-r and it gives me warning everytime i exceed the volume and i can exceed the volume to 100% max !

this apk should work with all stock ics based roms !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] |HBHs| Acidburns:
Would you please care to tell us which headphones you have cuz maybe your headphones might not be compatible with Xperia ... But if you are having issues with speaker too than its altogether a different evil
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sagar023:
The original ones which came with the phone, but there is nothing wrong with it, in fact it is awesome, love the sound with my BB.

WTF is wrong with XDA? I can't see most attached pictures :rolleyes:

Congrats though!
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
By the way for anyone who has their TNT tracking information, you need to track the reference number as a "Customer Reference" not as a "Consignment Number" (which is the default). Also the website would only work properly for me in IE.
[Nexus 4 General] Koshuu:
Wow that's unbelievably quick, I hope they ship out that quickly here in the US. Would be great to have it before the weekend. Congrats.
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
Nice! What was your order time? Mine looks like it was 13 November 2012 08:37:05 UTC

Between this and my iPad mini 4G, preordering has been a nightmare recently!

[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Ah when is my nexus 10 gonna ship,!!!
[Nexus 4 General] GuestK00431:
I ordered at 8:12:31 AM and no shipping here. Google are taking the piss. Its not first come first serve at all.
[Nexus 4 General] Horridge:
Do you have Adblock? That was the problem for me, now disabled it.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Wow, very efficient in the UK!
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Not really, 24 hours onwards and mines still pending..

Inconsistent in the UK morelike :)

Orders were only really live for an hour yesterday so if one order ships then so should have all of them?

Ah you lucky bugger!

My order was Nov 13, 2012 8:15:11 AM GMT too lol. I'm jealous and I bet everyone else here is as well!

Take the day off work to play with it :)
[Nexus 4 General] ajpettit:
i got a weird email today from google

seems they realise that some orders may be incorrect insofar as errant items in basket etc.

rang just to make sure they knew that i was indeed after an n4 so hopefully it'll ship today fingers and toes crossed

well mines still pending, ordered at 8:12 and they have took money from credit card i think...

may have to call them
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I got that as well, I'm really hoping they don't leave shipping until tomorrow because I won't be around on Friday :(
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Mine seems to be pending in the google wallet, but complete on the orders part of the Play store.
[Nexus 4 General] Pingus25:
@op, did you say yes or no when it asked if you wanted to link the device with your Google acct ?
[Nexus 4 General] phil001:
so is it just the OP that has had theirs shipped?!
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
I left the option as the default (as I was trying to order so fast!) which I think was to link it?
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
I'm just guessing but I would bet the long is done automatically with the id of your phone so when you turn it on its linked. Its not like they boot it up and type in your email then repackage it.
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
Yeah, I bet they have some sort of barcode scanning system when preparing the order for dispatch that gets loaded to their databases.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Just to add my order is still pending in Wallet and Delivery estimate 15th in Play Store. Ordered a 16GB N4 and a bumper. I just hope it gets to me for the weekend.

OP, let us know what you make of the device once you have it. Hope it's all good ;)
[Nexus 4 General] G405T:
Order time of 8:14:14 AM GMT

....No phone for me today :(

Is It JUST Technologic87 thats been so lucky?!
[Nexus 4 General] phil001:
it appears so... shall i be the first to question it?!
[Nexus 4 General] Pingus25:
I didn't mean they open it, turn it on, ... and repackage it. But the linking might be an added step to the process and might delay (-> 11/15) the shipment.
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
That's OK, I'm questioning it myself until I have it in my hands!

I'll post some initial impressions once it arrives, interested to see if mine rattles :eek:.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Op said he went with the default, which was to link it though
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
I have still had no update since the "Google Commerce Ltd received your order" despite ordering at 8:25am.

I just rang the Play Store (found an freephone number by the way: 0800 3286081) and the guy I spoke to was, sadly, not very bright. He said they had the order and it looked fine and was being authorised (so that's something I suppose) but he couldn't tell me when it would ship or why some people had shipping references despite ordering after me. I asked him if they were being processed randomly and he literally said nothing!

Ah well, I guess it's a waiting game for them to sort their **** out.
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
So has anyone else been given tracking information yet? I believe mine was added around 6PM yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
So it's probably safe to say that I won't be getting it today as I've heard nothing beyond the original email :'(
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Same here, though I did read a post in a forum about the Nexus 7 where someone said theirs turned up a couple of days after ordering and all they'd ever had was the original order email. No updates in Google Wallet or shipping emails. Gives me some hope!

Off Topic. I have an Xperia S too :)
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
Can we have your Date of Order timestamp please?

It looks to me that Google doesn't work with the widely approved and well known First come first served pattern. My order was filed at 08:12:44 which is pretty early comparing with other people's.
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Agreed. They seem to be using the less common and widely derided 'randomly pick names out of a hat' system.
[Nexus 4 General] Technologic87:
Yes no problem - November 13, 2012 8:16:21 AM UTC.

A few people have mentioned as having ordered earlier than myself so I have no idea in what order Google have decided to process the orders.
[Nexus 4 General] Nexx:
Ordered 8:19:47 here, still pending but they've taken payment from my card.

Only ordered a single 16GB Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] richyb86:
Does anybody know what would happen if they try to deliver but no one is in?? does it go back to the nearest post office depo like other parcels?
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
08:20:22 here and mine hasn't budged from estimate shipping 15/11 since I ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Well i don't know about other services.. but since UPS and TNT suppose to be merging (or did that not happen?) I know from past experiences UPS has said its up to the driver to either leave the package or return it back to the warehouse and select another deliver date.. that whole "package must be signed" is bogus now it seems..
[Nexus 4 General] OriginalBilly:
No update on mine either (UK).
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
No update on my order, it was placed at 08:20 :(
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
No update on mine ordered 8:24am UK.
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Ok, well this is a bit like finding out lots of other people haven't done their homework either. I don't feel quite as bad :)
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
That sounds good, though I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Xperia S, woo. I'll be trying to sell it when my nexus gets here though.
[Nexus 4 General] alpha beta gaga:
ditto. just phoned google and it ships 'today or tomorrow' apparently. wonder if we'll get them before saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Me too. Good news is that Mazuma are paying £120 for them so I plan on sticking it on eBay with a reserve of £120 (but including accessories) and if it doesn't sell, go through them. Worst case it means the upgrade to the N4 costs me £160 - Crazy
[Nexus 4 General] Armon2:
Ordered at 8.13

no update, order pending
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
they probably have a contract with the distribution company and TNT that they ship a certain amount of units a day, meaning they will ship some on day 1 some on day 2 and some on day 3. Still doesn't answer the question as to why they are not shipping in chronological order. You never know the printer that prints the address labels may have broken down:p. As long as it comes and it works when I get it I'm not that bothered, the longer it takes the bigger the buzz when I see the dispatch email:D
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
When you pay £9.99 to a company as large as Google and order at 8am, they should ALL be shipping that day. Other companies manage it fine, and for free to boot!
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
Have you ever looked at this website

http://www.onbay.co.uk/recycle/

You can get more than that for your Xperia S. ALthough i can't vouch for any of the suggested sites apart from rpcrecycle who gave me full quoted amount for my wifes ipad 2. Mazuma have also given me full quoted amounts in the past.

Apparently i can get £195 for my galaxy note 1, so that is going back to the glue factory as soon as my nexus 4 arrives!
[Nexus 4 General] zaka777:
are we sure the OP didn't purchase something other than a Nexus device? his tracking info doesn't state what he purchased. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Yeah, MoneySupermarket has a comparison thing too but I've read lots of stories of other companies being crazy picky about condition and then taking weeks to return the device when the seller turned down the offer. Mazuma have always been very reliable for me.
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
I think its safe to assume so since this is the nexus 4 forum..
