[TouchPad General] c19932:
hey everyone,

I've had this problem since cm9, and now on JB AOKP. The touchpad would reboot or shut off itself when screen off. After much experiments and reading up on other people's attempt, I can confirm that the problem originates from audio (someone else discovered the problem with audio). Most of the time (at least for me), if I turn off the screen without playing any sound after booting my touchpad, it would reboot/turn off itself.

The fix is simple. After you turn on the touchpad, just play some sound and you are good. For me, I set Tasker to play a silent mp3 file 10 seconds after booting. Since then I have not gotten any reboots at all.

Another solution (not tested) is to set a boot animation sound to your touchpad. Theoretically this should work, but I can't get boot sound to work on my JB AOKP rom.
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
I'll check that out, thanks!
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Thanks, I'll have to give this a try. I have been getting reboots quite a bit and I noticed when I flashed the first CM10 preview ROM where sound didn't work that there was no reboots. So I kind of figured it was related to sound. I wonder if just enabling the lock screen with sound on CM9 will be enough audio to fix this.
[TouchPad General] orbv:
Just upgraded to cm-9-20121111-NIGHTLY and having problems getting the system to stay up more than a few minutes. Checked and volume was all the way down, since upping it no more crashes.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
I enabled the lock/unlock sound and also switched to SGA's Fat n Creamy CM9 ROM. I only got one reboot and that was when the volume was muted. If I keep the volume up a bit then the lock/unlock sound seems to be enough to keep it from crashing.
[TouchPad General] tekrhino:
This used to happen to me quite often, then suddenly just stopped. (Several months back)

I never once stopped to think if could be something as simple as audio.

I'll keep this fix in mind should it mysteriously start again.

Good job OP!

:good:

A silent boot sound would work right?

yes, but only if you can get boot sound to work
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PabxH:
Hi, My note 10.1 was defective, but I knew it after rooting it, I succesfully un-rooted it and flashed all back to stock but I dont know if my flash counter is 0, is there a way I can know this without rooting again? or do I have to root again, also rooting it with the CHAINFIRE root would change my recovery? or can I root, make a triangle away and then unroot and voila?

I hope someone can help me

Thank you!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
To check your flash counter, hold down power and volume down. After your device reboots, press volume up to confirm, then it should tell you some information including flash counter.

Reset the flash counter using TriangleAway.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PabxH:
DONE. And now I have to un root it again.... So the question is how do I unroot it without making my flash counter go up again?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Go to super su in your apps directory and unroot. Then flash your stock rom using ODIN. As long as its your stock rom count won't go up...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PabxH:
You mean I only have to delete the super su app?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttreed07:
NO! do not just uninstall the app, open supersu and then go into settings and under cleanup you can unroot it there. Do not just uninstall.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] akaNeel:
Alright, I apologize beforehand if something similar has already been asked, but hear me out! :P

So I've been looking at cases lately to cover up my precious phone since I already have very tiny scratches around the phone, and I've fallen in love w/ the Samsung folio case. The thing is, I absolutely refuse to pay 1/4 of what I paid for my phone, for a case.

I've been looking at Chinese versions of the case, and like this one. http://tinyurl.com/c4a3e4u

The thing is, it says that it's not compatible with the i317, but according to many forum posts, the hardware between the international and North American versions are exactly identical (unlike the Note 1 which had different slots for the case). My assumption is that they only say it's not compatible because they never get to test it.

My question is, will that be compatible with the i317 before I blow 13 dollars?

The rooting process just involves downloading a couple files and clicking a button. After you root you can back everything up with titanium backup. Its pretty simple.

It used to be a litte more complicated back in the 2.0 froyo days if that's what your referring to

My order wasn't going to ship until another week or two, according to Premier and 611.

But I wouldn't take no for an answer.

Instead, I called ATT's enterprise support at 800-999-5445 and waited. Talked to the guy. He checked my issue. Told me to have a great day.

This evening, order ships. Way before anyone else's.

Apparently this number is magical, so if your order hasn't shipped, give these guys a call.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I've been doing this for two weeks now and its driving me crazy. I have a 32 gb memory card with like 12gb of music. I'm copying them to my 2 16 gb memory cards and it always misses one folder and doesn't copy it. It does the whole process but doesn't show up on the memory card. I finally got one of them to work but now the second one won't work. It always creates a folder called lost.dir and I find like 7 gbs of my music in there but not as mp3 they're weird files that aren't accessable by any app but if I rename them to mp3 they open.

What is this lost.dir and howcome my music keeps going there? Anyone know how to fix this?

Finally, Xtreme Guard has a full body screen protector for sale: front and back. I love these products for their high quality and cheap price! These are not the cheap Chinese dry application ones! These are wet application, which I think gives a way better result! I had one for my gs2 and n7, and they're awesome. I highly recommend. And according to the photos, it covers the complete screen on the front including the curved edges because its a wet application. US seller with fast shipping. Here's the link from their website:

I used this for my Gnex and it was Okay,

thinking of canceling my BSE and order this..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] GoreTan:
How reliable are these? Thinking of ordering one. Whats the quality like?

Anyone that has used these before can tell me?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
The one on my Gnex is pretty much the same as in this video.

Though I don't have any black dust on mine.

With this price and NO ORANGE peel at all, I just ordered one and sent email to cancel my BSE
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
They are very tough and high quality screen protectors. They are very smooth to use on the screen and protect it well. You won't be disappointed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hern1989:
i canceled my BSE one and ordered this one. i hope its good.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] khengvantha:
why it is so cheap?

Why it is only 3.99$ ? I checked on their website, it is around 15$ for Full Body package.

This might sound stupid, but how do you cancel your BSE order? I tried to view the order info but it asks for a login, which i never made.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phixional:
I used these on my Sensation, they were really good, ordered 3 and only used 1,

Don't order from Ebay get it directly from their website xtremeguard.com

I found a 80% off when you order 3 code. (80off3)

so that $6 for 3 full body protectors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dnlsmy:
+1

Just bought this, hopefully it comes in by Friday. I love the feeling of the glass on the Nexus 4, so I don't want a thick or obscuring screen protector. At $3.99, I can't loose much =D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Exel:
Or 75OFF2 and order 2 for $5

Actually same to me I didn't have an account,

I just use contact us and ask them to cancel

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Beretta93:
Xtream Guard protections are really nice, with nice touch feeling, maybe a little glossy.

But their logistics is terribke, they ALWAYS make mistakes in order preparation.

Fortunately, their customer service is very reactive and understanding. I think I'll order a couple of those.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] zdrifter:
FWIW -- got this for the N7 and they are great .. have ordered for the N4 but for now will prolly only use the back just to reduce the 'slide effect'
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bhazard451:
You definitely need to cut a hole for the proximity sensor. I had to rip my protector off to dial options for an important call.

Its better than nothing for protection, but I will use a different, dry front protector when more are available. The back protector works good though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jimgrovejr:
Car Wax

Just waxed the front and back of the extream guard for my nexus 4 and it is now smoother to the touch and easier to clean finger prints. Be very careful and use a small amount of wax.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Well I decided to remove XG screen protector and use only the back protector.

It's way too rubbery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
Ordered as a cheap screen protector until xgear has the tempered glass one.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tenji7:
I just received these yesterday and put it on, The touch sensitivity have been reduced. I notice it right away, and it's too rubbery as other mention, not easy to swipe as glass. Also the protector is easily mark. If you run your nail on the protector, the marking will stay there. And the orange peel effect, you can clearly see it. Since I have 3, I decide to peel it halfway off to see the different and without the protector, it looks clearer and no peeling effect. So I'm just gonna stick with no screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] P00t:
I just got 3 of mine today. It feels freaking great on my phone
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Beretta93:
Guess it's really a matter of taste... Got mine today and applied right away. Feels as expected, no loss of screen sensitivity at all, and fyi the protection is at its best after two days when it's perfectly dry between screen and plastic.

My phone is now scratch proof and I'm much more confident when using it or putting it in a pocket with zippers...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Just got mine today and applied it. Gonna let it sit overnight before touching it. I'll comment whether it affects anything after I let it settle in for at least another day.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
just applied mine. no problems with the proximity sensor. :eek::thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] nyyankees3511:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Same, no problems within the first 2 hours. I'll test more tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
Does the protector have that fancy self-heal stuff, becasue i royally screwed up one of my installs on the old g2x.

I used a cardboard card to push out the water. I didn't realize how many scratches i caused using it :crying:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I feel that same way. added confidence, no loss of sensitivity, little grippy but I like it. some may not, but I love how it feels. the phone used to be slippery and I was always afraid of pulling it out of my pocket. now I treat it like a phone and not a piece of glass
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thebest:
Here's my take:

It's your standard Screen protector (like Zagg or others), where it attracts finger prints and get indentations on it if you keep it with keys or whatnot.

The feel is similar to that of rubber, like the side of the Nexus, but a little more sticky.

I personally will just use the back, as it gives the back a nice feel. The downsides are the fact that any time you want to show someone the back it will have fingerprints and indentations (the nice pattern still shows up perfectly though).

I don't like these standard screen protectors on the front of phones as the fingerprints annoy me greatly (a beautiful device smothered in grease)...

If your looking for protection with no loss in feel, I would go with a glass protector for just the back (glass protectors on the front ruin the no gap technology). The problem with those is that they're expensive...

OR you could just be careful with your expensive device instead of getting a protector...

Hope that helps

WTF XtremeGaurd now has screen protectors with the proximity/ambient light sensor cut-out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSSKNlk4S_Y

I'm going to see how well their Customer Service is now, I haven't even applied the protector as of yet...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
Definitely will be sending them an email.. My proximity sensor doesn't work.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] suzyqwv:
Skinomi

Skinomi also has full screen/body guards as well. I've used extreme before. The extreme screen protectors always felt thick. I switched to skinomi and the skins are alot thinner. The full body set for the nexus 4 is $19.95 with free shipping.

I really like using this type of protectors, but find it annoying when its hard to find a good case that doesnt push up the edges of the screen protector. The thin back cases dont push it up. But the heavy duty cases tend too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lnfound:
Applied to back dry with no problems, zero bubbles. Nice to have some grip now.

Anyone ruining the smoothness of the display with a screen cover is :what:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] digitalsmoke:
Just sent them an email as well. Seems like the people that released their protectors before the phone was released didn't make a hole for the proximity sensors. Maybe they didn't have the correct specs or dimensions, or they just didn't expect such a sensitive proximity sensor..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrcanant:
Good back, bad front protector

The back cover is awesome! Add grip and applied perfectly!

But the front protector sucks, it's too thick, and i can see vertical lines caused by it if I have a pure white background (like the start page of chrome). The worst part is that it blocked the proximity sensor which means the screen is off when I make calls. And there is no way to wake it until the call is ended by the other person.

Will keep the back, but definitely peel off the front. $2 for the back cover is not so bad though!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] macoykolokoy:
Installed and using it for a day already with no problems... no issues with proximity sensors and tested using Z-DeviceTest.

I bought two just in case I failed installing it so I have an extra
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Blazing angel:
I'll be damned. I tried to buff out all the scratches i caused yesterday to no avail (yesterday)

13 hours after applying it, I tried again, and all the scratches disappeared

This protector does actually have the self heal tech (or as i call it, black magic :laugh:)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
After seeing that video I e-mailed them late last night and they responded within 8 hours. VERY good customer service. I suggest you guys e-mail them for a replacement. Even offered me a full refund if I desired, which I won't since they've been really kind.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] nivlac978:
I'm getting the vertical lines also. I have the same thing on my nexus 7 with a different screen protector. Am I not installing these correctly? Am I st stretching them or something?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] red12355:
Yeah, same. Is it something that goes away after a while? The instructions that came with my skins says it takes a couple days for the haziness to go away, but I'm not sure if it's referring to the vertical lines.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Mine was hazy after installing. Gave it a day and then wiped the screen protector down with a damp paper towel and it looks rather clear now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] the803:
My back is wayyy too bubbly. What's the best way to put these on? I attempted the front one but took it off straight away.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
There are plenty of videos on youtube. The trick is to put enough liquid on and make firm motions when you are removing it with a card. I put plenty of liquid and then do strong quick motions with the card to remove the liquid and make it shoot out away from the ports.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
I used the wet applicator that ZAGG gave me from my previous stuff I bought from them. Or you can use water and soap. Just squeegie the bubbles out. I've put these on plenty of times perfectly. Or you can try using a credit card.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
water/soap and squeegee the soup and water out with the plastic card provided. there will be bubbles but they go away after a few hours. mine looks crystal clear
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mZimm:
Put mine on Monday evening and was very satisfied with it and then today I pulled it out of my pocket and the corner started peeling off. Seems like impending doom for the rest of the screen. :(

[Nexus 4 Accessories] NotEnoughMinerals:
Yup, I told them about the screen protector covering my proximity sensor and they instantly issues a replacement. I'm impressed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eliter1:
Big props for sending replacements. I am definitely going to buy from them again. I actually already placed another order for some HTC One Vs I got for $50 each from Virgin Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mZimm:
Are people actually having problems with their proximity sensor being covered? I got the initial version and haven't had any issues at all. Given that the small piece going around the camera hole is the part that is peeling off already, I worry that having another small piece on the other side would just be another place it could peel easily.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Monk4Life:
It should go away after a few days. Mine had the same thing the day after I installed it but 3 days later I don't see the lines anymore on a white background.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
Yep, it seems as though some of the proximity sensors are more sensitive or something, I've tried two XtremeGuard front skins and they have interfered with the sensor.. It makes it impossible to hang up a call.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jickman:
mine is still shipping as im in canada. Once i notice theres a new version i quickly contacted them and ask them is there any replacement of some sort. Hopefully for a idea answer. And man the shipping is WAYYY too long.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Stryder5:
Contacted them for a replacement as well. Got the exact same response someone posted earlier. Though, I don't think I needed the replacement. I don't have any problems with my proximity sensor. I even installed an app that uses my proximity sensor to lock/unlock my screen and it works pretty well.

Pretty satisified with this product and will likely buy from them again in the future. Wish I got the fully body protector now, instead of just the screen protector from these guys.
