Uhm hello! :D

I went to the Sony repairing center to fix my phone (the x10i) and I asked them to replace the touch screen (digitizer) too, but it costs 100€. I asked them for a solution other than paying for the digitizer and they gave a solution:

Cleaning it with a zippo lighter liquid

!

It makes the screen like new! Mine had a lot of scratches and it was "peeled". After the it has been cleaned, it was like a brand new phone.

They told me that to clean it, I should use the zippo lighter liquid, a soft cleaning cloth and start cleaning it gently. It "was" their secret :D

Try it yourself! It's 100% safe!

'

'*Not for everyday cleaning* *Just for removing scratches*

Update:

Add some drops of Zippo lighter fluid on the screen, rub it with a cotton ball and then clean it with a soft cloth
[General Accessories] Vector17-Darkroom:
wow zippo lighter liquid???

wow zippo lighter liquid??? jejejeje :eek: Nice
[General Accessories] NikitoGR:
Yes! It's amazing! I couldn't believe it at the beginning!
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
Glad I held onto my lighter fluid after I quit smoking!
[General Accessories] sk8er_boi47:
I suppose this in not available in India, will any other lighter fluid will do ?
[General Accessories] Pennycake:
Be careful - this is one of those "solutions" that will only work once - you're removing the coating on the phone's screen (which may or may not be a good idea for all phones). Think carefully before you do this - and if yours is bad enough that you try, make sure you buy a screen protector after - because if it works (ie, you didn't deeply scratch the glass under the layer you're removing) - this is pretty much your ONE chance.

This can also screw up some phone screens so research your individual model before trying.
[General Accessories] NikitoGR:
I don't know for other fluids...

Once again this solution is not mine. This way the technicians at the Sony Repairing Center clean the screens. This is for cleaning it very very rarely.
[General Accessories] carlosmonti:
I would think that with zippo liquid would get very dry on the surface. aint?
[General Accessories] DaveConnor:
I totally agree with him,there are many types of coatings on a touch screen and it may not be nice idea to clean it with some volatile liquid or any another liquid not intended for cleaning screens,i generally use a screen guard to protect the screen.
[General Accessories] NewbCentral:
Thanks, I will have to remember this when I clean my screen.
[General Accessories] Green Ranger:
Very interesting. Wonder if this would work on other kinds of hard surfaces to remove scratches. Thanks for sharing.
[General Accessories] occ hio:
Sony repair centre & zippo lighter liquid... Wow, I can't believe it
[General Accessories] Pennycake:
The general concept will work for any surface with a scratched finish that can be removed, yes. However, the effect this has on, any piece in question will depend on the effect of stripping the finish - ie, from a wood cabinet, et cetera.

Also, if the object is scratched under the finish, this aloe will not correct it.
[General Accessories] NikitoGR:
Yes a deep scratch will not be removed with any liquid...
[General Accessories] cheloPR:
Well... I clean my SGS2 with alcohol 99% and remove all the dirt and some soft scratches and does not damage anything, I remove the battery and I cleaned with alcohol and a soft tooth brush... I have the phone from its release in October 2011 and that's my way to cleaned.:D
[General Accessories] nekubg:
Well, that seems kinda awkward, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Thanks : ]

[General Accessories] |Madman|:
Wow, most interesting, i will defineatly remember this method if there is ever a need to clean the screen.

depends on the screen if its a glass plated screen yes if its a older uv film plated screen no that shiit will destroy the screen
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERamseth:
Hi all-

First, I should say I'm really happy with my stock, un-rooted TF300T. I just got the official keyboard dock, and it seems even more awesome than before.

That said, I've read here and elsewhere that many custom ROMs seem to be way more optimized than the stock builds. Between that and the idea of actually having full control when needed of my device, I'm thinking about rooting and installing a ROM (probably CM10).

My main question is, what functionality of the official keyboard dock is preserved if I install CM10 (or any other ROM or kernel)? I really like all the hotkeys, and the USB port and SDCard reader will no doubt come in handy...

I'm looking for real answers here from people that have actually installed CM10 (or really any other ROM or kernel aside from stock) and use the official dock.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ridg-droid:
I've tried a couple of ROMs

first was;

everything worked fine, dock SD slot, USB for hard drive, flash drive, PS3 pad etc

currently on;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989984

This is a CM10 build and again it all works perfectly.

The stock one is a good one to start on as it's basically what you've got at the moment but unlocked so you can get to grips with stuff like SuperSu titanium backup etc and then start playing with the more bespoke roms.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERamseth:
So in general you'd say you've not noticed any loss in functionality of the dock when running cm10?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ridg-droid:
I hadn't however I've just found out that the default map is English US meaning the £ key is # etc and there's no English UK included with the ROM :crying:

Will have to start searching for a keyboard map or try another ROM, this will only affect you if you're used to using a UK keyboard
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERamseth:
Won't be a problem for me. Guess us yanks luck out sometimes. :p

Becuase I saw the diffrent between the picture and its amazing upgrade!

im now with Android Revolution HD 15 , but should I install the mod? or its allraedy build in?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
No it's meant for ICS base and not jelly bean.
[HTC One X] Orong89:
I'm sorry I didn't fully understand you

he meant that OneX was made for a previous version of android (ICS: v4.0.4) and not with JB(4.1.x)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
This is mostly just me, after a whole 24 hours of being a Note 10.1 owner (woot, go me) being annoyed that its the 3G owners that have gotten all the update goodies!

Germany got theirs a month ago, UK got theirs today... but only the 8000 models.

In theory this would mean that the 8010/8013 models will get released in Germany first, and then in the UK a month after that...

I really really *really* hope that this is not the case though. For this would be... vexing.

Saying that, I'll probably end up rooting and putting the uk 8000 rom onto my tablet anyway, as I am an impatient soul. But it is the principle of the thing that counts!

I think the reason this whole thing bothered me is this poll I saw the other day - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871383

If the 3G model was the most popular, then prioritising that firmware would make sense. It seems as though the WiFi models are by far the most prolific though!

OR.... WiFi users are more likely to answer polls.

Keep wishing hard guys, maybe we will get an update soon. and then hopefully someone will finally do a non-8000 custom rom!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mace242:
I have just decided to enjoy what I have for now. 8010 update before Christmas at some time will be fine with me. I dumped an iPad and a transformer 101 for my note and one for my other half. We are pleased.

Being a software developer I know the importance of good testing and would rather wait than have to put up with junk. Just my tuppence worth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
Makes sense, I also came from an iPad (the original one) and upgraded to a Note. Is quite a difference!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] goodie:
I'm a happy new owner also & very eager to get buttery smoothness on this fantastic piece of kit! hope we not waiting too long
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mafia187:
I had enough couldn't wait anymore flashed the German jellybean on my 8010 couldn't be happier. I couldn't stand the lag on ICS, jellybean so smoooothhh don't care much for the feature smoothness was the most important.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] goodie:
is that the German 8000 firmware? what are the drawbacks?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mafia187:
Yep the 8000 firmware, I don't notice any drawbacks. It's stable like ics, a lot smoother, battery life same as ics 3days 10.5hrs screen. The only thing is you gotta set govonor on-demand
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rjmpires:
i want some wifi love too :crying:

i would like to have more developing for this tablet :eek:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Only real noticeable drawback is that if you use a USB toggle to connect a wireless keyboard or mouse it will drop signal on the German OTA. Other than that and the OnDemand thing as mentioned earlier it works fine on the 8013.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sencafe:
So that's the 8000 firmware on a 8010 Note? I understood there were issues with the ROM looking for hardware that doesn't exist. Sorry for bringing this up again, I like my Note and don't want to stuff it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mafia187:
I'm using "Team Union Rom" 8000 on my 8010 wifi without any problems what's so ever. All you have to do is use SetCPU which comes with the Rom to scaling: on-demand and check set on boot. No os issues, no random reboot all fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zoomee:
I'm pretty peev'd about this too. Can't believe that a non-3G device is getting the updates last of all. Surely theres no modem nor carrier testing to worry about so it should have actually been the first to be released?

I REALLY want to use the features of 4.1.1 and am refusing to utilise my Note properly until I get the official update. :( :(

COMEONE SAMSUNG!! Pull yer finger out!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bkeaver:
+1 on this. This rom runs perfectly on our wifi devices
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zoomee:
I dont want to be forced to ROOT my device though unfortunately (I have a SGS3 for all my custom ROM business lol)

Got apps that won't work if ROOT is enabled on my device, and as I intend to use this note 10.1 for work related stuff its going to be essential having a stock ROM........
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bkeaver:
What apps won't work on your SGS3 since root? I have yet to find anything whether it be on my note or my SGS3 that don't work...:confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zoomee:
DME for Enterprise (Work exchange emails) - That's because the administrator has set it to not allow ROOTED or Jailbroken devices. (I know its because I set it up lol!)

There is a work around but I care not to implement it as it still means turning a security feature off which is not worth it just for my sake!!.

Anyway - Anyone wanting to 'voice their concern' regarding no JB for 8010 users - please post on samsung page here:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jomansch:
same here - runs perfect now, went through two or three complete shutdowns though, now only goes to sleep as it should do...using SetCPU with scaling on-demand and check set on boot - evrythinx fine now...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thas5:
I'm also a new owner of this tablet(closing in on 3 weeks). I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I know what it feels like to get updates fast. It's a little troublesome waiting for Samsung to update this device. I told myself that I wouldn't complain since Google probably takes around the same amount of time putting together updates, but they have the luxury of seeming fast by putting them out first. What I don't understand is why Samsung is releasing the JB update for the the 3G version first. This may be due to my ignorance, if so please excuse it, but I thought it would be easier to update the WiFi version especially considering they're pretty much done the development of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sparksltd:
My best guess would be they are testing the water. Releasing 4.1 to limited areas first to see what feedback they get. It would make sense to send updates out for the 3g version as this would test all features of the 3g version and the wifi only version, as it only lacks features of the 3g version. Also the 3g version is less popular so less people affected by bugs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
My opinion about why the N8000 gets updates first is that it is identical to the S3 gt-I9300 and the note ii gt-n7100.

s3 always gets first because it is a "s" device (flagship level 1) and gets 30 million users.

note ii is a new release and had to get released with jelly bean because jelly bean is the standard os for new releases now.

There is no WIFI version of the GT-I9300 and GT-N7100 so they can not cut and paste it to make a GT-N8010 version.

Still, I am upset that we are waiting so long for the Jelly Bean for GT-N8010...

I expect some wifi love!

It does not make much sense to have an android phone and an android tablet with 3g. You can always use the android phone as wifi hotspot and connect with your android tablet to your own hotspot. This is why most tablets are WIFI only.

They are not "testing the waters"... the S III and the Note II are more important then the N8010, and they have Jelly Bean.

About root:

For example the Samsung learning Hub does not work with root.

Also the Samsung Music hub version 2 closes if it detects root.

I even tried to "hide the root" by temporary deactivating root, and it still detected root and closed.

Bad... for some things we just need root.

Droidwall needs root.

Everyone should use Droidwall.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
One of the reasons I was so tempted by the new Nexus10, was that it was a mainstream, flagship project for Google. And therefore it would be kept in the limelight, and given the best and quickest updates, for longer than any of the third-party tablets.

The pen and wacom digitiser for the Note though, was too hard to pass up. And I knew when I bought it (this was like a week ago lol) that the JB update was coming for it, and so at least it would be "up to date" for a while.

This is assuming Samsung are intending to ever release the update for the WiFi only models. A paranoid part of me didnt like the samsung response of "We have no timeline of when that might be released", when clearly the response should have been either "before christmas" or "in the new year".

Oh well, I will enjoy JB for the time being, whatever incarnation it has. And in the future when samsung inevitably stop bothering to update it, I will enjoy the pleasures of custom ROMS.

Hooray for XDA!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
I agree, droidwall should be an integeral part to any root user, hell it should be an integeral part to the android infrustructure, considering how technology is progressing and attacks from malicious hackers, that includes the state "legalised" ones to, a bad act, is still a bad act folks

One thing thats missing for our notes is permission control, lbe apparently does not work on jb, and pdroid needs some patchwork done if you dont have a compatible kernel.......dont suppose anyones managed to get any of these two up and running?

I just thought that I had already seen a cyanogen mod kicking around in the Note development forum, is all.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
yep, cyanogen..........exynos4 is giving some of our devs who kindly maintain cyanogen mod on exynos4 based products a headache, some have left, other are talking about it, i believe there are one or two who are still working on exynos, but am unsure of their commitmant, thats not to say that a another dev may not come along and continue cm, or that the current devs stay or not

as far as i know cm on exynos4r is operational with a few hiccups, which sammy are'nt helping , in regard too providing our devs relavant WORKING source code and documentation, which i believe means cm does not run aswell as it could............theres rumours on the grapevine, that if you want a decent hardware phone with respectable cm dev support from manufacturer, go sony.....well thats what the grapevine says
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nirurin:
Well I just bought this device, so "buying Sony" isn't much of a help for at least a couple years lol.

Besides, Sony don't make a tablet like this, as far as I am aware. I think I'll stick with it.

Samsung might have their issues, but I've happily avoided buying Sony products for years. Overpriced and unreliable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] banderos101:
Me and my mini pro agrees with you, when sony or another company starts selling hadware as good with good dev support, by by sammy, good thing is im in the same boat, just bought the tab, so ive got the leisure of waiting for the next generation, note 10.1 is pretty good apart from the sammy dev side of things

The same reason Google released their new fiber optic Internet service only in Kansas City first to test it out on a very small market......
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
One of the big costs when rolling out software releases is the support costs. I would guess that rolling this out to the 3G models first would mean most support calls would go to the carriers rather than Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Thats not correct all the 8000 3G models are carrier independent atleast most of them are so no support from carriers they are supported by Samsung itself

Really? I guess things are quite different here in the U.S.

Apple Suit

Based on the complete silence from Samsung on the JB update for the 8013 I am really starting to believe that the Apple suit is behind this delay. I know they are a world wide company but they have completely ignored even the question from the US market on the status of the update. More court action yesterday as well:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/100287431
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Well I would say no I think they will only launch update for wifi after they complete the update for 3g model even that is not released everywhere till now it has reached India waiting for it to reach India.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Silverblade.nz:
Just a thought:

N8000 rom works on 8010/8013 but has issues with using pegasusq governor and USB OTG doesn't work, I wonder if they're having problems with sorting that out with their touchwizzed rom (I think i've seen that they have no problems with the OTG in Cyanogenmod).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
I'll wait for official I don't want a hacked up 3g ROM ony WiFi model even though I know it works fairly good
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Silverblade.nz:
I wasn't saying to use an n8000 rom, I was just listing another possible reason for the delay.

I agree with your earlier statement though, they've had more than enough time to sort things out.

I have gn8010 and I'm about to rage very soon. Count down til Sammy officially break the 2012 jelly bean promise for my device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rap6388:
I see your point but in these cases Samsung did not provide JB to the consumer the carriers did. In fact there has not been a wifi version direct from Samsung to the consumer any place in the world. Maybe they are having issues but I do know that time is running our very quickly if they are to keep their promise of 4th quarter. It makes no difference who you speak to at Samsung America they simply will not answer the question of when. Unless you count "we will let you know" as an answer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:
Actually Samsung provided att's update through kies. Not OTA like other carriers. Maybe they got tired of att taking their sweet time and released it anyway.

Hi, everyone ... first of all i want to thank everyone at xd developers which is my partner in crime since im messing around with my android devices started back with a g1.

I've never been really android savvy but your tuts made it a piece of cake to usually come around.

But now i face a problem i just can't get fixed for the past few days ...if i didn't searched the forum enough and overlooked a solution please point me in the right direction.

So here we go.

I had slimbean 3.0 running and installed a theme over it, ended in a bootloop.

Then i realized i have 3 old ics backups on my phone which im not certain of the boot.img

I'm running on hboot 0.43, cmr 5.8.4.0 and i use mac, most solutions i found in the forum are for windows.

I tried several boot.img to find a match to my backups, erase cache, factory resets etc ... every potential solution i could find i tried.

I tried to find a way to flash a rom via fastboot-mac over to th phone but im just getting an error after the "send" started that its not possible to write.

I'm really at loss and hope someone can give me some advice.

thanks
