your screen on is causing your battery to deplete, not the wifi. Wifi drains less battery than your mobile connection.

Background apps that are constantly syncing will also keep it active

I see a lot of discussion on best buy vs at&t warranty but squaretrade seems cheaper and is usually better. Plus they 35% off till new year. Why not buy it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
I bought the Squaretrade for the reasons you mentioned.

It just doesn't cover lost or stolen devices, but I just want accidental damage protection. $90 for two years coverage with a $100 deductible seemed like a good deal. They have great customer service and give you the option of repair or refurbished if you mess up your toy.

[General Questions and Answers] Tito_S:
Hi,

My phone is locked to specific network operator, How do i unlock it? Is bootloader unlocking/ rooting the same as unlocking network restrictions?

Is buying unlock codes from ebay a must? :(

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] dontsurf:
Bootloader locks and SIM lock are different things. Bootloader locks prevent you from running non-standard software; SIM locks prevent you from taking your phone to another operator.

Most phones ship with locked bootloaders, but while some bootloaders can be unlocked, others are encrypted, depending on where the phone's from and what restrictions the vendor wants to place on the device. Encrypted bootloaders can't be modified and thus restrict what you can do with the device.

SIM locks are placed on the phone by the network operator. They're there to tie the phone to an operator. The commercial justification is that if your phone is tied to a single operator then you're much less likely to insert a SIM card from another operator and stop paying your bills, which would result in a loss of the money the operator has paid to subsidise your handset.

To remove your SIM lock you should contact your network operator, who may be able to provide you with an unlock code for a fee if you're out of contract, and sometimes even if you're in-contract. They don't do locking here, and most of my stuff is parallel import, but when I lived in the UK you could usually get this stuff done at a shop with the right hardware. I wouldn't be buying anything from eBay, but that's just me. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Tito_S:
I cant do that mate! I bought the phone a is from someone else. The phone is brand new but is locked to another operator than mine. So are you telling me this is not a "Do it yourself"' tasks?
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
That's what he's telling you. It does, however, depend on the phone - some phones you can do it yourself but almost never for free (sometimes you need to buy hardware, sometimes buy a code from a website).

Is it possible to put the lg optimistic g HD screen protector by zag on a nexus 4? I know they are the same size with same cut outs. Has anybody tried this? The reason I am asking is that they are already available at best buy so no waiting

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aly19:
Yeah the HD is much better than the original Zagg, too bad they don't sell it cut for the Nexus 4.

Probably because the Nexus 4 is only carried by a few carriers worldwide.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Ah thanks guys.

I think I'll get one of the Max protect ones today before their 50% off sale ends tonight. This way, at least the back is also protected and I can just replace the front with the HD one if they ever make it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Thanks for the pics!

I've only ever used the original ZAGG so I don't know anything about the HD version.

I guess ZAGG's new way of dealing with the proximity sensors and front facing cam is to just leave a cutout to the edge. I liked their old style of making it cover everything but those sensors/cam. Hmph.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csdibiase@gmail.com:
I've never had a problem with the Zagg's going opaque on me, and I've got some truly old ones, including one on my Zune4 that I keep around for it's FM radio on football sundays. I can understand the orange peel complaint but once the protector has settled in I don't notice any real tacky feeling.

YMMV and all that. I've just had good luck with them, up to and including warranty replacement after my kids proved that even a Zagg is no match for a 4yo's untrimmed nails.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
What people don't understand is that the orange peel effect is done to counter the sunlight reflections and glare you get when you are looking at your phone outside. Without it, the screen would be a lot harder to see.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catlog:
Invisible Shields aren't like the Invisible Shields from last year. My Nexus 4 Invisble Shield arrived this week and looking at it, the orange peel effect is now much more less noticeable than the one on my *cough* iPhone 4 *cough*.

I have an HD on my iPad and it's actually hard to tell it's there.

That said the standard zagg on my nexus 4 is almost as good, I really can't see the " orange peel" effect unless holding the phone at the right angle to get glare fringe the lights.

I would buy an HD for the nexus if they made one, but I'm hairy with what I do have.

Hello Shane,

Thank you for contacting ZAGG,and iFrogz! My name is Polu L. and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

There are a number of invisibleSHIELD designs for LG Nexus 4 E960, though I am not currently aware of the development of an HD invisibleSHIELD for the LG Nexus 4 E960 specifically. However, we are constantly working on developing an invisibleSHIELD for new devices. Please continue to check ZAGG.com for new products as we are continually updating our website as we release them.

You may find a list for each ZAGG product offered for your device by using the “Product Search” field at the top right of the page on ZAGG.com. if the product you are searching for using the “Product Search” field at the top right corner of ZAGG.com does not produce a result, a page will load which will allow you to provide information for the brand and model of the device.

has anyone had the zagg invisible SHIELD (non hd) installed on their phone? i did and its been about 2 days or so and i just put my case on (cruzerlite) and the corners of the screen protector started coming up and bubbling. has anyone else had this issue? jw
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretched:
Go with xoskins. Cheaper and they don't have orange peel, but are just as strong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
I have ZAGG on the front and back of my N4. Don't have Cruzerlite case, so I can't help you there.

But when I was using the Ringke Slim, the indented lines down the back of the case did leave marks on the back protector which was not cool. I have since been using the OEM bumper and after about 3 months, there has been no problems on the protector or the sides.

Did you get the case friendly ZAGG screen protector? Those are cut more inside on the sides so that cheap cases will not push up the protector over the long haul.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainerKEN:
I'm currently very happy with Ghost Armor... friends look at my phone and at first glance, they think it's bare and has no SP... Is the Zagg HD something like that (or better)? Anyone here had both before?

btw... I suck at applying these things, so I usually just go to the Ghost Armor kiosk in the mall and have them do it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Zagg HD is like Ghost Armor but better clarity and durability. The Ghost Armor I had for a tablet didn't last long. The best thing about Zagg is that it is self-healing, so unlike Ghost Armor, when there are scratches on the screen protector, they will eventually go away and look brand new again.:good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canecbr600:
I used a brand called "Just like glass" Very happy. The front protector is made from a UV resistant stiffer material, and definitely feels just like glass. Not soft like most others. Absolutely no orange peel at all. The rear protector is made like most others, but very little orange peel. A little bit pricey at 23 bux I think, but doesn't bother me because I absolutely hate the softer protectors everyone else makes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
Well my zagg covers the whole screen. So my case lifts it up on the sides and on top. So for now I'm not using my case. I'm hoping it just needs to dry more. I wish they had the HD zagg for this phone. I'm not a fan of the feeling of my screen with this protector. Lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Do you have the OEM bumper? I find that it is designed to not cover too much of the edges of the screen (to allow you to still use the curvature of the screen edges for gesture input) so that it doesn't push against the screen protector. Sure it adds more bulk than the other 3rd party bumpers, but decent protection, screen protector friendly, gesture friendly, and stylish sure do offset any complains :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
No I don't have one. I wish I did. I need to sell my 2 curzerlite cases to help pay for a bumper. Lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Don't get standard ZAGG, non-HD looks awful. trust me.

Spigen screen is cut way way too small for the phone's screen and both looks stupid and feels awkward. It does not cover the sides of the glass at all. I didn't even install it, it got sent straight back - quite a few reviews will point this out.

Currently using xtremeguard and it's a nice protector. Covers entire screen, very clear with little orange peel. However, using a case will cause the screen protector to start lifting at the edges, even after allowing 3 days to dry. I have a standard softer plastic case and a poetic bumper... Both pull the screen protector up at the edges, it just doesn't have much adhesion to the screen... again a fail in my book!

I'm thinking of getting a ZAGG HD custom cut, or try either ghost or that 'just like glass' one as my xtremeguard has failed twice.... Real shame as it's a great screen protector if you want to risk not using a case. I'm careful with my phones but accidents happen and my N4 has accidentally been dropped once... Without case I'm sure it would have a ding or worse with all the glass on this thing!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldedo:
I have had some lifting around the edges where the screen curves....just an fyi
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
I was at a mall install kiosk yesterday and the lady working their said that she believed that the HD version was now available for the N4.

Sadly, I think this will be inevitable with all wet applied protectors. I have to push down the corners my xtremeguard most mornings after removing the case cover..... Until someone releases either a hard/glass like screen protector with matching curves for the glass on the screen or one that is sticky with some sort of light (but non damaging) adhesive, your best bet is to live with having to keep pushing down the corners with your nail or go with something like 'best skins ever' which offer almost full screen protection, the curved sides to be protected BT w your bumper or case. I've found this brand to be much nicer than Spigen ones which were cut way to small.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Thanks for this.

I'll probably buy one, but Iam pretty sure it will still lift at the edges if you also use a case or bumper.

I'm pretty sure the ZAGG are wet application type, so almost a certainty.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
I've been a user of ZAGG's invisible shield (wet application) for the past 5 years across various products and devices. I have never once had the edges lift to certainty while using a case. I currently have the front and back screen protectors on my Nexus 4 with the OEM bumper for as long as the OEM bumper has been released. No lifting of the edges here at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
You are using the standard ZAGG shield right now? And it is full screen coverage including the curved edges?

Very interesting as it's a wet application protector just like xtremeguard, which lifts at the edges.

I'll wait to see what other's say.... I'm not convinced that it won't lift add it doesn't have any adhesive, it's essentially the same as xtremeguard IMO.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
I have to send in my zagg shield soon since the corners came up because of my cruzerlite case. I had it put on at the mall too. They will probably try to charge me again which I won't do again. Lol. But I only have to pay 5 bucks to get the HD one as my replacement, so I will do that for sure. I might have to get a new case as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
reply from ZAGG in reference to using cases/bumpers

I was skeptical about the ZAGG protector peeling at the edges when using a case/bumper as it is a wet application design just like every other full screen coverage protector I've bought that has peeled at the edges with a case. From this reply, I'm not spending another $20 to have the same thing happen. When my xtremeguard eventually fails, I have a "best skins ever" which will be perfect with my bumper/case:

"I under stand that you use your Nexus 4 Zagg HD invisibleSHIELD with a bumper case. We do not recommend using a case once you have installed the invisibleSHIELD onto your device. The purpose of the invisibleSHIELD is to keep your device safe and protected from dings and scratches without having to cover it up with a case. We refer to this style of protection as “Going Naked!” Your device will look shinny and new for the life of your device.

If you would like to use a case with your shielded device, we recommend silicone cases. These types of cases will fit around the invisibleSHIELD and tend to have fewer oils that can potentially stain the invisibleSHIELD.

We do not recommend using the invisibleSHIELD in conjunction with a hard case. Due to the easy grip texture of the invisibleSHIELD it can be too ‘snug’ making it difficult to remove the device from the case. Pulling the device in and out of the case may cause the invisibleSHIELD to begin peeling or lift off. Additionally, we do not recommend soft leather or felt cases as you may experience the same ‘grip’ problems as with the hard cases."

I have used Zagg HD on all my devices that have them forever and I have never had an edge peel up after a good install.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Zagg screen protectors suck. They are very good at marketing, oh and their customer support is pretty too, but their products don't do what their marketing drones say. Example: I bought a zagg screenie for wife's iPhone 4s. While I was putting it on, I noticed that each time I wiped the screen with the supplied cloth, it was scratching the screen protector. A complete lie when they claim scratch resistant. They sent a replacement and it scratched as well. So, no more zagg for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thacounty:
I have actually put hundreds on and this has never happened to any of them. Maybe you got some sand in the cloth??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Ditto. Always had great service and outcome with Zagg products.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
Still won't fix the fact that if you try to use your bumper or case it will lift at the edges given its full coverage of a curved glass screen.

Unless it uses adhesive it's simple physics and it will fail....

I have to press down the corners of mine every time i remove the case.
