[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darcmasta:
Well the title says it all :(

I just dropped my phone and the bottom glass piece is shattered yet operable. My only issue at the moment is some cosmetic damage. As great as this might sound, it has put me in a dilemma.

Should I get a Asurion replacement for $100 bucks

Should I wait and pay full retail for a phone (I need to do this now in order to keep my Unlimited Data with VZW :( )

I personally love my Nexus, and the fact there is no BS with its bootloader and I can flash anything I want just makes it all the better. It is a safe bet to say the only way I would ever upgrade would be to another Nexus or another flagship phone.

Any feedback here? Or is anyone experienced with the replacement of a screen that could possibly give me an estimate to replace the entire screen+digitizer? (apparently the screen and digitizer are fused together so I am expecting the screen alone to cost somewhere in the 75-125 range.)

Thanks all,

Happy New Year!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Sorry to hear that :(

I would probably pay $100 and get the replacement, since the actual screen assembly costs $110-140 on ebay, you probably wouldn't find it any cheaper than $100 unless you buy it from someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
If my screen broke I would instantly whip out $100 to get another.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
If you've been paying for assurion, and now you finally need it, I'm not sure why you would need to ask what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psykick5:
If you really want to keep the unlimited data I just got a perfect condition GN for $200 off my local craigslist. They can be had for as little as $150. No need to pay full price from Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DC Damien:
Also paid $150 recently for a GN off of Craigs List. It's great.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I got zagg hd at best buy store. It feels smoother and doesn't have the orange peel look if viewed at an angle.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xperia_2011:
I bought mine from the following website! It's impressive that I have to look at an angle to see if the shield is installed on the phone! Great product in my opinion! If you decide to buy it from them use discount code: iwantultra that drops your price to $12.49

http://www.clearprotector.com/phone-protectors/lg/optimus-g-at-t.html
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnbyebye:
I bought the maximum coverage set and it fits perfectly. I have a cheap protector on the screen and haven't installed the Zagg screen protector since they usually end up askew when I do it, lol. The back is a lot easier to install than the front IMO. The side strips don't really add a lot of "protection" per-say but they add more grip and make the phone less slippery which is my main concern. I'm most likely still going to get a case or bumper.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
I went to best buy and they didn't have one for the att version what one are you using
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
It is zagg hd ,got it in store at best buy. Doesn't specifically say att but fits perfect.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cerps:
I have the full body Zagg directly from Zagg, not the Zagg HD. There is some orange peel. It is no where near as slick as the bare glass. Being used to having a Zagg on my Atrix, the slippery glass on the OG was almost too slick for me. But now I kind of miss it especially if my hands are real hot and a little damp as they stick rather than slide. It's your typical Zagg. My only issue is as usual I had a heckuva time getting the front lined up and managed to get some lint under the protector.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] CKrzacz:
Got mine in the other day, definitely worth the extra few dollars over the eBay crap.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] d11dog11:
Got the HD. Fits great. Love it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
I had to take my regular Zagg off, and now I have the option to get the HD from best buy (they want $25) or get the replacement regular Zagg for only $4. Is it really worth the $$ to go with the HD version? Have you tried the regular Zagg before?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Get the Realook for $12 off Amazon. xsMagical wouldn't steer you wrong.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] raymondjoshua:
The Realook is pretty good, actually waiting for SGP to come out with our version of the crystal clear screen protector.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
So, I've been stuck outside of the US for work basically ever since I got my OG. I didn't have the chance to put a screen protector on it before I left home, and wouldn't you know it, the ONE time I dropped the phone it was onto a floor with sand on it. Now I have a few minor scratches. I am OCD about this phone, though, and they are driving me crazy.

I'm guessing that the liquid that's used to apply the Zagg Invisishield HD will help to fill in the small scratches so that they are not visible after the screen protector is applied. Can anyone confirm this? Or know of any other way to reduce or remove small scatches?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnbyebye:
The liquid for the Zaggs is literally just soap and water.

Sent from my Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Thanks for the info, but be that as it may, I think it should still help fill in the scratches and make them less visible, right? I'm getting the screen protector either way, and hope it helps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mittenman:
If the scratch is deep enough, it will show through pretty well. It's like getting a piece of dust under it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnbyebye:
It does dry eventually. The liquid is just to create a good seal. I can't really answer your question since I have never applied a Zagg to a screen with scratches already on it. My guess is that light scratches wouldn't be visible.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
Luckily my few scratches are pretty light. I'm almost willing to try the N4 conversion now because of this. I wouldn't pay my insurance deductible just because of a few scratches, but if I happened to hard brick trying the conversion, at least it would be an excuse to get a new OG that I can take care of from the get go, haha.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3161337:
So guys i just installed LBE Privacy guard it asked me for root permission and it automatically rebooted my phone it starts up fine then but whenever LBE launches (on boot) the phone starts looping again...what can i do?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qvp:
Delete it very quickly before the next boot. And yes it isn't working on jb. Success!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yearn2burn:
The fix

Use TWRP recovery rather than cwm for its file manager.

In recovery, tap advanced -> file manager -> navigate to data/app.

Find the lbe entry (can't remember the exact title, but includes lbe in it) and delete it.

Reboot.

Breath a sigh of relief...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Twrp doesn't show files.

Download aroma file manager and push it to your phone. Then just use it as you would install any mod. It is a full fleshed file manager for recovery.

this is XXXDDDAAA
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promi:
easy and safe way to remove any app that causes bootloop is to boot into safe mode. You don't need custom recovery or root to boot into that mode :)

1. Power the Galaxy Note off.

2. Press and hold the Power button to turn the device on.

3. Once you see the animation on the screen, continuously tap the Menu button. (Button with 3 lines below the screen)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aincalandorn:
Just had to force safemode from boot because of LBE. I suggest tapping the menu button repeatedly the second it starts up (before boot animation). I tried when I saw the animation and it didn't boot into safe mode.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denverjoe72:
I just had LBE cause my phone to crash loop constantly. By booting into safe mode, I was able to uninstall the app! Thanks to those above who helped us with this tip about how to boot into safe mode.

If you look at the Play Storage page for LBE, you will notice it's rating has really crashed, and it currently has over 1900 complaints regarding this issue...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite

The publisher of LBE is nowhere to be found and has not updated the app in over 16 months. I am guessing it has been abandoned.

Hi All

Phone Model: HTC Touch Pro T7272

A friend of mine recently updated from Windows Vista to Windows 8.

And hey presto no more Active Sync, windows 8 will not even reconigse the phone.

I have been looking around and seen no solution to getting Active Sync to work with Windows 8.

So now the other option is change the phone. However that requires resources which are very limited.

Would changing to Android on the HTC Touch Pro T7272 be any good? Are all the features working? Is it possible to roll back to previous windows os, if it not suitable? or does anyone know a way to get Active Sync to work with Windows 8?

Any kind of advice or help will be much appropriated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
I believe Android syncs with a Google account. This port does not require a flash so once you restart your device, its back to WinMo, you go. Additionally, you should be able to backup your contacts with another program that should be included, called PIM Backup. OR are you just looking for a way to sync your device to your computer? If not, what exactly? Also, I do hope you have changed the USB mode from Disk Drive to ActiveSync. On a final note, there should be a check box for "faster data synchronization", you should un-check it if ActiveSync does not recognize your device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] macrofeet:
You could install via windows 8 or 7 "Virtual PC" then -> windows xp sp3 then -> activesync+ other old apps quite complicated to setup at first

[General Questions and Answers] GFXi0N:
I recently had a catastrophe with my SGSII and while the phone is at samsung, trying to revive it, I'm using an old Galaxy Spica.

Prior to the fatality, i made an automated backup, so I know all my apps and configs are there (I have programmed them to be made daily at night)

After a month using the spica, I might recover the phone soon (fingers crossed), so i wonder if there is a way to restore the SGSII backup and add whatever has been changing while i'm using the spica.

Maily, the whatsapp's conversations and sms....

Is it possible to merge two backups into one so I don't lose anything? What solution do you recommend? Perhaps some other app?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] madman80:
join all titaniumbackup files in the same folder. That's all. Then tell titanium where to find those files. Thats all
[General Questions and Answers] GFXi0N:
So, if there are two different backups of the same app, but with different dates, it will merge them?

i've got a little Problem with my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

I can't get anymore into the fastboot or the flashmode.

if i press the back button while i plug in the usb cable the led on the top is green for about a half a second and then it boots the normal system. the same is with the search button. there the led is blue for half a second and then it boots normal.

i also tried to reboot into fastboot mode via ADB but then it only boots into the cwm recovery system.

so how can i fix this problem?

or is there a other way to flash a new kernel?

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:
Yesterday I was with a friend for new year, and when I was there I rooted his phone, and also sim-unlocked it. Free.

I'm not 100% sure if this is against TOS of XDA but, I found this.

It is a tutorial, with an APK included (their own link doesnt work but this one from their comments, does work). It would find the unlock codes of the phone. But they are made for Samsung Galaxy Gio, Ace and Mini only.

Would there be any way to port, as MANY users here have requested if it was possible to unlock sim.

If this is indeed against the XDA TOS, I'd be glad if it would either get locked, or better, get deleted. But please give me a notification so I can be sure to not post such things next time ;)

Thx Devs and Mods in advantage for reading, and answering or locking this for me ;)

Messages to inexperienced users, like, well, practically myself:

Please dont reply on this topic, especially not with things like: "YES PLEASE PORT IT" etc. Cuz thats time and space waste. Honestly I hope it is allowed by XDA and hope it can be done, to save you guys some money, but the chance is LOW.
