I like the zagg screen protectors. I had a captivate (sgs1) with a zagg on it for over two years and it worked great. It does change the texture a bit but its worth it to have a mint screen.

Anyways i took the zagg protector off my old phone and the screen held up well but had visible wear on it after a month. I should add that I work construction and have completely destroyed phones in a matter of weeks. If you work in an office or retail I cant see why you would need a screen protector.

When i got my sgs3 i put a zagg protector on it immediately coupled with an otterbox commuter case. This is in my mind the best protection for the phone. The defender series case has the soft rubber on the outside and I couldnt get the damn thing in and out of my pocket. Plus the commuter comes apart easy and allows me to clean the phone from time to time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AB33:
In 2007 I started using www.BodyGuardz.com for my Smartphones which covers the complete phone and they now have Carbon Fiber. The full body protection has always helped my resale value on ebay because the phone is always in "Like New" condition.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firnagzen:
I'm running a Galaxy Nexus, and the ROM I'm currently on has a Perfomance option in the Settings Menu, which gives control of the kernel and stuff. However, I'd rather use TricksterMod, and I would like to be able to launch TricksterMod from Settings instead of the Performance app.

So far, I've decompiled my Settings.apk, and looked through the files, and I'm not sure what to change.

I have to change \settings\res\xml\settings_headers.xml, correct? Specifically,

header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_performance" android:id="@id/performance_settings" android:title="@string/performance_settings_title" android:fragment="com.android.settings.performance.PerformanceSettings" />

I would also have to change \settings\res\values\strings.xml, specifically, the string referenced by "@string/performance_settings_title" so that I can have the correct name, correct?

And similarly, settings\res\drawable, for the icon.

The big question is, what do I replace with for "com.android.settings.performance.PerformanceSettings"? Do I need to move TricksterMod somewhere specific, or what would I reference? \data\app\com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod-1.apk?

After making all these changes, I'd simply recompile and push the Settings.apk back without signing, correct? Have I missed any steps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
That's what I would try BUT would just be that, to try, seems like you have everything else covered.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firnagzen:
Hm. Well, that didn't work.

I successfully made the edits, recompiled, and pushed the file in place of the old Settings.apk.

The Settings app immediately disappeared, and trying to install it (selecting the .apk with a file manager) didn't work; it simply gave me an 'App failed to install'.

Any suggestions as to what I might have done wrongly?

Since we have a bootloader unlock and nvflash access on the TF300T now, I'm thinking there should be a way to change the boot logo, right? The logo I'm talking about is the initial screen you see when it's first turned on. The one with the Asus and nvidia logos on it. I googled around and can't find any info on it though. Does anyone have a link to a guide or know how to do this?

I did this on my Sony Xperia MiniPro SK17i

I did a lot of searching on Google and XDA. One of the developers on the Sony forum kindly did it for me... of course I wanted to know how to do it myself so I spent days trying to get it to work... it was a right royal pain in the ass but I did eventually get it done myself. I added the avatar I use on XDA and this used to boot up before the boot animation. (I have to add my son helped me to get it work).

A word of warning here. Considering how easy it is to brick the TF300T I would not try to do this unless you are 300% sure you know what you are doing. Even then I'd make sure I had spare funds to buy another tablet just in case.

It will brick if you do not convert your image correctly (it even has to be a certain file size).

My SK17i is almost unbrickable (there's even a flashable file to unbrick) so it was no big deal when I got it wrong.

If you're really keen PM me and I'll dig around and see if I can find the posts where the developer pointed me in the right direction :eek:

I'm happy to hear this can be done! I thought the tablet was unbrickable so long as I have my nvflash backups?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
The screen you are referring to is called the splash screen which is the screen that appears before the boot animation.

While this can be easily changed on some devices like HTC & others with the "Android Flasher" tool - I believe (not 100% positive) that with Asus this splash screen image is located/embedded within the kernel, so the only way to change this would be to change the image in the kernel before compiling it. I am not positive on this so perhaps ask one of the kernel devs to confirm this.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
seems like a lot of hassle and risk for a screen that is only there for a few seconds, and cromi is offering some real nice bootanimations in the next release :)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
See? There's no such thing as a stupid question.

Actually that is the FireFireFire splash screen. And I'm guessing that the "boot loop" you are experiencing is more like the FireFireFire splash screen flashing on and off?

Your device must to be able to boot so far before it can charge properly. It's kind of a screwed up situation but there is a way around it.

Every time you hold the power button to force the device to shut down, it performs a series of tasks before letting go. One of these I'm guessing is to enable charging over usb. The best way to do this is to plug the device in and immediately hold the power button until it shuts off, and stays off. Leave it alone for a while and it will charge properly.

So I recently had to have my phone sent back to samsung for warranty work (I turned it into a hard brick). They replaced the motherboard and sent it back to me. I've had it a month and a half now and started using the camera to take videos again. The weird thing is that there's this crackling, staticky noise throughout every video I take!!! It makes the video camera completely useless! I don't have any problems in calls or other apps that use the microphone, only the video camera, and the pictures still turn out perfectly! I'm completely stumped...any ideas?

Video taken after the phone was serviced: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200461462722410

The only difference between these two videos is the motherboard swap and possibly jellybean update...one sounds great, the other one sounds awful!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Was running jellybomb for a few months, nothing has changed recently. This morning I started to notice a static looking colorful screen for a few seconds before the locker showed up. Later in the day, the same static was taking over my status bar. Then static staying on the screen, would take several power cycles befpre I could get to my phone, the displays were completely out of whack, and while the phone seemed to operate and run just fine (according to the sounds & vibration feedback)... the screen would lag behind by about 5 seconds, and remain for the most part, jumbled and static everywhere, making it impossible to do anything.

I backed up my phone, was able to clear cache, dalvic cache, factory reset, etc, I'm s-on so I flashed the kernel (boot.img) via adb fastboot, the phone re-set (don't remember how), and am unable to get into bootloader in order to install the rom. I hit the power and it vibrates and is "on", just a black screen. I cannot get the timing right on doing a simulated battery pull and power + vol. down to get into the bootloader since the screen is not visible. Any other way I can get to boot loader/recovery? I have the SDK installed, can the phone be viewed on my computer? All I need to do is install the rom.

I have TWRP on it BTW.

Anyone suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this one's over my head.

Thanks,

-Mike

****** SOLVED *******

Took it to sprint, the tech said he asked HTC what causes this. They say it is static buildup on the ribbon for the display. They are able to take a strong magnet and run it across the ribbon to fix the problem.

k, think I got my phone into usb-fastboot. I did the exact same w/ my girls phone and counted the seconds for it to come up, then did the same on my phone.

Now, when I do the command "adb devices" either of the two phones. I was getting "device list attached". I then checked device manager and found "Android USB Devices" and under that "My HTC", but no ADB devices. I tried all the drivers I could find..... latest HTC sync.. updated from the SDK manager, etc. I cannot get adb to connect with the phones. I don't even know where to look, I've been at this for two days now.

k, got the phone connected via adb, and was able to get the phone in recovery (TWRP), however, the screen is just static, so I can only navigate in the dark. I need to find a sure fire way to install the rom. I have a copy of the rom on the external SD, and on the phone. Is there a way I can view my phone's screen with my computer? Or another way of installing the rom using adb, or some other program?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
You need to list your bootloader details: hboot, baseband, software version, etc. If you are hboot 1.15 or 1.19 I would go to the dirty racun site and follow their instructions through step #11 to get your phone working again. Follow their instructions exactly. Pay attention to step #9 and if you see the failure, use the arrow keys to move up in the cmd window and rerun the ruu. You don't have to continue all the way to s-off if you don't want to, but if you download the appropriate ruu for your current hboot and follow their instructions it will get you back to a working phone and you can go from there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Thanks, I will check it out if I get stuck again. Me screen gave me just enough where I re-installed the rom, and was able to install drivers for fastboot. I was then able to re-lock the bootloader. I am currently trying to run a RUU to see if that fixes the problem. At the very least, I can take it to sprint and have them deal with it now that it is back to stock.

Should i dunk it again in hot water to get rid of all the sticky ****?

How have people gone with replacing there phone with water damage from samsung?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Water damage isn't covered by any warranty. You'll probably just need to pay the insurance deductible.

He's right. Samsung does not cover water damage. But i think if you send it to them theyll repair it for a fee of course

You should have put it in rice for 48 hours. But now you just have to pay your insurance deductible.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
Either way, Insurance deductible is still alot cheaper then buying a new phone :silly: As was said a few post up.. Typically after submerged, yank battery, drop in bag of rice for a bit.. (24-48 hours) typically can save the phone. Just ensure you do not try to power up again until has sat.
