[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lukas_1:
By using tape do you mean using scotch tape, sticking it on the screen and pulling off?

I'll try washing my screen protector, drying it up, cleaning the screen with MF cloth, taping it up and then hopefully I'll be able to apply it perfectly! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
If you trap a particle of dust under the protector that has a hardness greater than the screen, yes, it will eventually scratch the screen in that spot.

However: Gorilla Glass has a Mohs hardness of around 9, which means there is not a lot in the mineral world that can scratch it. The likelihood of your trapping something like that under the screen protector, if you apply it correctly, is not great.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cookie29:
You should be able to remove a particle big enough to scratch your phone from the screen protector without having to wash the protector. I think you would ruin the screen protector if you wash it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ToxicWaste:
I've used packaging tape as it leaves no residue. Done it for years before with iPhones before owning an Android.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
When you apply your screen protector, do it in a washroom with a hot shower running. The steamy air will prevent dust from getting under it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cookie29:
I will try that out. I always seem to get a bit of dust or lint on the corner of my screen protectors.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slimslim:
Just don't wait too long, not sure if the humidity sensor would get affected.

The way I do it: obviously, I clean the screen then remove completely the clear layer from under to make sure no dust will fall in. I'm holding the screen protector with the tips of my fingers on the sides and gently bend it across (the long) median then align with the phone's screen (this is the hard part). Put the screen protector on the screen at this stge the contact area will be the median line, and then use a credit card and work your way to the eges (one side at a time). I never got any bubbles under this way. I caught some dust particles few times though. It takes patience but it pays off, currently I have no dust or bubbles on it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If the particle is trapped in one place and can't move, I don't see how it can cause a scratch.

Plus, if any dust gets on the screen during the application process (as long as you've done a halfway decent job), its probably airborne. So its not grit or sand or anything like that (which would just fall to the ground instantly) but more likely skin, ash, etc.

A little preparation and a few tricks will go a long way to a good screen protector install. My process is:

1) Use a wet apply protector. Don't know why, but I've had vastly better results (no dust under protector) with wet apply rather than dry ones. I got to the point where I can do a dry type almost flawlessly, but only after lots of practice and a great amount of care. But even so, there still tends to be a dust particle or two. With wet apply, the first one I ever tried was perfectly dust free with little effort, and the subsequent ones also.

2) Before starting, examine the protector and see how it fits on the phone. With the backing still on the protector, place it on the phone's screen and match up the openings and edges to familiarize yourself.

3) As previously mentioned, use steam to pull dust out of the air. I run a hot shower for 5-10 minutes, then apply the protector in the bathroom. It won't eliminate all the dust, but makes a big difference.

4) Wipe the screen off with a micro-fiber cloth (often included with better quality wet apply protectors).

5) Blow off the screen with a can of compressed air (the kind used to dust electronics and whatnot) to get rid of any remaining dust.

6) Spray the application solution. Quickly apply the protector. As another mentioned, don't hold the sticky side up after you take the backing off, or it will instantly catch dust. Put the protector on quickly, don't let the sticky side touch anything but the screen. Handle the protector as little as possible, and by the edges.

7) Squeegee the protector down with a credit card (make sure the edge of the card is smooth) or some protectors will include a rubber squeegee. Blot the excess moisture at the edges. Then leave the phone alone while it dries.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Npsacobra:
The best investment for my smartphone has been Ghost Armor. I have spent so much money on packs of screen protectors. A couple years ago I decided $45 was worth it if I only needed to do it once a year. You won't regret it, and you don't have to install it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
I've also heard horror stories about peoples phones not working after they are done or the screen not functioning afterwards. And since you sign an agreement they aren't liable

No thank you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slimslim:
I replace about 3 screen protectors a year (bought from amazon clear ones, 3 for $1.99). Other than a little rainbow effect when the screen is off, no regrets looks just like glass. I've been through many protectors before (ridiculously many on my first 'smartphones' rip moto ming, touchpro 1&2) but I can't justify the cost anymore, I'd rather have none (since I change my device every 8-12 months).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WarRaven:
I went with ghost armor myself, they installed for like 22 bucks.

No issues to report.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Screen protectors that come in packs are crap. The higher quality kind that cost $15 or so (Skinomi, Zag, etc) are in a different class. I've had a Skinomi on my One X since release (May), and one on my Flyer for almost a year and a half. Both are still looking great.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
I've never used a screen protector. Don't like the feel of them. This phone has great glass. I'm a mechanic and I keep my phone in my pocket all day (screen towards my leg of course) and not one scratch
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CB620:
I use Xtremeguard. Wet application and every time I get a perfect install. No bubbles no particles.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elfysrfr:
Was gonna say the same bout my Zagg...love it! Wet application and a squeegee, works perfect every time. The wet app also can aide with alignment if you don't get it just right, you can still move it before you squeegee.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Athrun88:
Not sure if this is still relevant, but I will put a vote for Ghost Armor as well. I have it for all my devices and it's like there's nothing there. Crystal clear and screen responsiveness is great. Had Zagg before and the orange peel feel and stickiness made me remove it. Those cheap packs aren't great either, they scratch up very very quickly.

I know there's already a thread for these but I just wanted to make this thread cause just wanted to have a banter and these both games will be Xperia PLAY optimised and will be released same time ( well Modern Combat 4 shortly after ) but still kinda the same time.

This is happy times for us Xperia PLAY users wouldn't you say ?:D so happy to still own a Xperia PLAY to this day, seriously.

swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mxl180:
Except this one covers more of the top and bottom than the rinke.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mxl180:
No, but comparing pictures this covers more of TOP and Bottom than ringke

Here's some of my previous case

Made phone look bulky.

top and bottom too exposed.

Slim but felt cheap and no grip

Nicely designed but not slim

Slim, and a good compromise between size and protection with the looks.

The Recovery Flasher

View attachment 1537416 View attachment 1537417

Use this super simple app to flash a recovery. Simply name your recovery to recovery.img and place it on the root of your SD Card and the app does the rest. Yes you could do this in the emulator, but this will save you a few seconds, and of course if you don't know how to use the terminal then this will help. This is the smallest recovery flasher out their weighing in at a mere 48 kilobytes!!

WARNING: This app will not work for all devices. If your device supports flash_image, this app will work for you, otherwise I cannot guarantee it will work. Also I am not responsible for you flashing a bad recovery.

Same here. Going on 5 business days now since I placed my RMA order and received a tracking number but the tracking page still has the yellow box indicating that a shipping label has been created, and nothing more.

anyway. i wasn't really happy with the way this looked or worked so I went back. But if tweaked it could look / function better.

ONSCREEN BUTTONS

The guide before is correct and works for s3 and note 2. (we are all trying to learn)

1) download root explorer

2) navigate to /system

3) tap mount r/a

4) then tap and hold down on the file "build. prop" and choice "open in text editor"

5) go to the bottom and add "qemu. hw.mainkeys=0

6) hit back button and save.

7) reboot phone.

DISABLING MENU AND BACKFLIP BUTOON

1) open root explorer

2) navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/

3) tap mount r/w

4) find generic.kl

5) tab and hold. Then " open in texteditor "

6) find

key 139 menu

Key 159 back

7) so they look like this

#key 139 menu

#key 158 menu

8) tap back button twice and save.

9) reboot

Only thing I don't like is this kind of messes with the dialer DPI, and now the top of recent calls and favorites is being cut off by a big block of blue.

Edit: On Bean's new ROM, the top names are still covered, but the "blue" block is now transparent stuff just a blue border, so the names are now visible, but you can only touch the part of the name that sticks out from the bottom of the block. This is definitely more manageable though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtmerrick:
a mod to customize onscreen navigation keys?

I've always loved onscreen navigation buttons. However, when I finally got around to enabling them on my note 2, they were just really big and ugly. I don't need the bar to be any bigger than my status bar, and the touchwiz icons are horrible. Plus there's this weird blue bar separating the navigation keys and the rest of the screen. Is there anyway to make them match the standard asop layout, of back-home-multitask-(sometimes)menu? If not, can we at least theme the touchwiz-ified nav bar?

And before you say it, no, I don't plan on switching to cyanpgenmod, or any other non-touchwiz rom. Between the s-pen and multiwindow, why would I want to ditch touchwiz?

There may be something to do this already, but I hadn't been able to find it. And yes, I've looked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
You can theme the nav bar yourself. There's a bunch of threads for nice looking buttons, text or image- (here's one) and just replace the ones in the SystemUI of the Theme or Rom you're using.
