I used SGP on my Galaxy S2. It works pretty nice, feels great. My only complaints were it attracts fingerprints like crazy, and a year later my screen protector has some minor scratches on it (not really visible when the screen is on). It happens since the hardness is only 4H and stuff like sand is a lot tougher than that. But I'm just glad its only the screen protector and my actual screen.

I had the Rearth Ringbo Screen protector on my Nexus 7. They fit really nice and look great. Feels fine, though the only OCD issue I have with it is when the screen is off, the screen protector displays almost like an orange peel effect (probably anti-UV coating or something). It does a better job of reducing fingerprints but its no where as bad as the SGP ones.

If I had to pick to get one for my Nexus 4... I'm leaning towards SGP again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gordata:
I have the SGP Dual, I have used their stuff on all my devices. I can tell you that the front scratches so easy. I had a scratch within 20 minutes of applying it to the Nexus 4, one big one and a few fine ones. I am going to try the Ultra Oleophobic to see if it does not scratch so easily. I have the ultra on my iphone 5 and it has been fine but I guess that with the bigger screen comes the higher chance of scratches.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RayLancer:
I think its due to the hardness being only 4H. I think sand is like 6-7H. Mine did the same, it has scratches all over the screen protector on my Galaxy SII.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phon00b:
I have the Xtreme Guard on the rear of the phone. It has a very slight orange-peel effect going on. But as the back is black, I just need it to be clear enough for the glittery pattern to show through so it doesn't really bother me. The orange peel effect though does very much bother me on the screen which is why I'm just using a dry-apply matte screen protector. The edges are a little raised because it won't curve with the screen's edge, but i'll still take that over orange peel. (though if anyone could point me toward a dry-apply screen protector that's narrow enough to not overhang at the curves, i'd greatly appreciate it)

The point i'll give XtremeGuard over Skinomi though is that i had a much easier time with the soap-water method over the little binaca spritzer. Maybe I was just over-applying the spray, but I never knew if I had a dust particle or other imperfection until it was too dry to raise and remove.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] joshtrader:
i think so far everyone has been writing some good review about Spigen dual full body, i was thinking of getting spigen, or BSE or even Skinomi.

does anybody know any coupons/discount/promo for either of the 3 companies? it would be greatly appriciated
[Nexus 4 Accessories] maxpowerxiii:
+1 to bse !

They're inexpensive, feel great, withstand heavy scratches and give it an extra level of grip without making it sticky or rubbery.

I've had a bse for all of my previous devices (10 in total). I swear by these skins.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
Hmm, what protector would you guys recommend that's dry install and covers as much of the screen without the edges curving up and collecting dust? I know the wet application ones cover the entire screen, but I don't really like the rubbery feeling =/. I wish there was one that's dry install in the center and wet install border :rolleyes:.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wolfrey:
Have to agree, I got SGP and the finger prints are ridiculous. Was thinking of taking it off just for that. Otherwise, its perfect.

Edit: I am going to return the one and try best skins ever. Does bse feel pretty close like the SGP? I really wish this fingerprint thing wasn't a problem :P
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Noez:
I use XtremeGUARD Screen Protector for the front of my phone, I don't have any complaints. It's not easily scratched and doesn't attract fingerprints.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dokukinoko:
No. BSE feels *slightly* rubbery/tacky and has a minimal orange peel in certain angles. The rubbery feel of it is my major and only complaint with it, along with the wet apply process.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myturbo1:
Get Zagg I've tried about every main brand out their. They are by far the best quality in my opinion.

I just got done trying skinomie its a freaking pos!

Fits nicely tho lol

Front keeps moving around & bubbling.

Back has faded , like matte finish spots on it now.

Both zagg & skinomie Are kind of rubber. Also both are a wet application. (Very easy & nice) Also both have a small texture to them.

Zagg seems to be a bit thicker but still has better screen responsiveness.

The only screen protector which didn't peel and does cover the curved screen was the xtremeguard full protection film. Some origin peel and small lag in feel but it has protected my phone since nov and it still looks like new.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] C-4Nati:
I've heard that using different chargers can be bad on your phone or battery. I've only used the one that came with the phone but sometimes at my buddies houses my phones are low and need charged but never do, is there any truth to this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] G1Master:
It can be true. Depends on a few factors. The amount of volts that get sent through can be main the difference between chargers. Some have a higher volt rate which can mean a faster charge but could possibly cause the phone to over heat or may cause the battery to have a short life span. Some have lower volt rate which is the opposite obviously.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Yeah all in all you shouldn't worry that much, a battery life span still pretty long
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_F_Word:
You're good bro stick with the original charger. Even if u use others its ok but as stated above its not like the original !!!!!!!!!! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It's not voltage it's amps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GalaxyBoi14:
it should'nt

ive used many different chargers for my galaxy s3. from nokia chargers to my lg g2x old charger. and my galaxy still has n amazing battery life. but it should not mess up the batter at all because they all use 9v charger so it should be fine
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
FWIW I use the stock block and cable when I am at home or moving data, but while I am at work, I have a Motorola block and a RocketFish cable. Takes a little longer but works just the same. Same setup for my past two phones as well.

In terms of battery life, you'll probably get a new phone before you get a new battery. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Also @OP, I see you are from Cincinnati. If you ever need anything, just shoot me a PM and I can/will help you out if you need it face-to-face. There are a few of us in town that know each other and help out when needed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Yeah I use the stock cable for charging and moving files as well... but use a mt4g charger when not in my bedroom... a universal usb car charger in the car... a universal usb wall charger when I need to at work... and friends random usb chargers when at their house (moto, samsung flip phone -theyre still out there- and htc one s)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
Sorry dude, the VOLTAGE is what determines the amps.

The higher the voltage rating, the higher the current (amps) so obviously, the lower the voltage, the lower the current (amps)

You cannot control the current, it is a resultant factor of whatever the applied voltage is,

Kinda like if you open your water faucet 1/3 the way, you'll NEVER have full flow no matter what size garden hose you buy to use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
You're both right, but psykhotic is right in this instance. ALL USB devices are 5v DC. Power (Wattage) is determined by the amps.

To answer the OP's question, anything that provides a USB style charging port will work. The phone will never charge faster than it wants to charge. What can happen is, if the charger is rated too low, it may not provide enough power to charge at the normal rate of speed, or even charge the phone at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Yeeaaa dude. No. Where are you getting a USB charger that's output isn't 5v?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pudinkk:
Hi everyone.I was playing with my navigation keys today,I flashed a zip but somehow that also changed the color layout of the notification bar.

As you already know the dominant color is white not blue.when you look at the pictures the clock at the top the date and the additional settings key has to be white instead.

So now I am looking to find a way to revert this back to default color layout.

Running rasbean jelly 4.2.1 rooted and twrp.

I don't have any nandroids at this point so the option to use a previous backup is a no go.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pudinkk:
anybody has an idea on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Flash your old rom over it. Only wipe the cache's unless you have a backup of your apps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] wp7chris:
I experienced the problem of no data connection after flashing a new rom on my Optimus G. The phone needs to be reprogrammed, updating your PRL and Profile will NOT help. You must dial ##72786# this will start the handsfree activation and your phone will reboot a few times. It may take a few seconds in between steps of the activation and it will seem like nothing is happening. Just be patient and wait for everything to complete. When it is finished your phone's data connection will be working properly.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eyeisdasteve:
Profile update worked everytime for me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Works everytime for me also.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Some history,

I've been running Imperium and stockishv1 and v2 for a few days. I've made a couple backups along the way. About an hour ago I lost data. The phone works and makes calls, but my data is dead.

I've tried update profile and prl, and all I get is" Network error" I've tried this many times throughout all these steps.

I've restored backups, pre-Imperium and Stockishv1 with the same results.

I tried the procedure in this thread and still nothing.

Anybody have any other ideas? Would LGNPST restore the phones modem?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
You guys need to read this. I am going to open an LGOG Issues thread but need to grab some food first.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I did, and responded in your ROM thread. Thanks

edit: Now all of a sudden data is working. BTW when my data wasn't working it still showed a flashing 3G. Sometimes. Both arrows on and off

edit 2: Also when data wasn't working, It kept wanting to roam.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
saw the same thing on stock as well

More than likely your area no? Sprints been working on towers
[Sprint LG Optimus G] benmatlock:
Related:

I killed the connection optimizer while I was at work because I can't use work's wifi and listen to my icecast station I setup.

This killed my data connection and immediately put my phone into roaming. I rebooted like three times and finally my data came back (i also updated the PRL and the Profile, not sure which fixed it but something did)

From the things you guys speak of, I would guess the same issue is at hand.

ALSO: Stock rooted rom (non-deodex pure stock with bloatware frozen with titanium)

I'm pretty new here and I"m not sure where else to post this,

but I"m having a similar problem.

I am running CloudyG3 rom on Verizon LGG2 and after flash I have no data connection at all.

If anyone could help me or direct to somewhere where I can get help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Try the G2 thread, I'm sure if you post in the exact same section over there you might have better results. General answer is that it is probably APN settings. Find an app, enter them, set it, and reboot (might not need to reboot).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratlegion:
Okay, I'm really getting desperate. T-Mobile doesn't seem to be able to help me, and I'm thinking that XDA may be my next best hope.

My question is a general one about cell phone service. I am on the Galaxy Note II.

I am using T-Mobile service, and I have been for 2 months. During my time with them, I have had a lot of trouble being able to receive calls. Randomly, people will say that they were unable to reach some of the lines on my account. It is generally people calling from landline phones, as far as I know. T-Mobile had an outage in my home area today and my service was terrible. I started looking for a VOIP app in the meantime. I decided to try "Bobsled by T-Mobile." When I attempted to call my mother, who has a line on my account, it displayed her number properly, but when I tried to call her and it actually said the number couldn't be completed as dialed. When I looked at my screen, it had removed a number from the area code. For example, her number is 540-xxx-xxxx, but on the screen, the app said it was calling 54 xxx-xxxx. Any ideas what could cause this. I'm thinking it might have something to do with how the SIM card is configured, but I can't be sure.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mojo_69:
I've been trying alot of ROM's for my Motorola Razr MAXX, and can't live without AOKP's ROM Control.

But i have a GSM phone and not all AOKP ROM's work on my phone.

I'm currently on "STOCK-JB-AOKP-Nov-22-2012-03.12.46-CrackTeam-Umts_Spyder",

and the Stock ROM "SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTCEE_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip".

...

So ICS Stock and JB AOKP custom rom.

But i have major battery issues with it; battery lasts for less than 2 days. Compared to the original ROM which lasted like a week.

Right now i don't care if it's a JB, ICS, GB or whatever; i just want a ROM that's stable, that works and has long battery life.

Anyone reccomendations from the best community on the web?

Ok so.... Im attempting to port my 1st "successful" Rom(previous failed attempts dont count;)) ,but Im having trouble editing build.prop and making the updater-script. Im more concerned about the build.prop to get Rom to boot. I was able to use APKManager/tools Windows kit to automatically create update-script and convert to updater-script as needed for CWM Recovery, but still need help with build.prop. As the guide from XDA member "Peteragent" says that Sony Ericsson users must use common sense when editing build.prop, which I apparently do not have.lol. Im using This guide here. I am trying a Gingerbread Rom as practice and not to post until I choose new roms. I will upload both the port and base's build.props if anyone is kind enough to explain what to change and help me to get Rom to boot. This is both build.propsHERE. Thanks so much in advance:victory:

I switched to AOSP type roms now from touchwiz. The only concern i was wanting to get an answer for is how to regain the brightness slider on the new 4.2 rom types.

I like the new style of 4.2, especially the Chronus lock and widget options.

If anyone has any sort of answer or fix for this that would be awesome.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tuse0708:
The newest release of Tasks ROM has both of these features, the Chronus clock was just added and the brightness slider is there as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Zero-Cool-:
OK cool, Im running tasks now, unless there is a more current one, this was downloaded about 2 days ago
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Zero-Cool-:
And I should also be more descriptive, I would prefer the brightness slider in the status drop down, not as a link to the slider.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] glwilliams4:
In Task's ROM he doesn't have the actual slider in the notification tray, but rather you just slide your finger across the notification bar to change brightness.

SAMSUNG GALAXY CAMERA TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V1.1.0 [18TH JAN 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added LTE MODEL [EK-KC120S] support to Model Selection screen

+Minor bug fixes and improvements to code

+Added LTE MODEL [EK-KC120S] link support to Firmware download section

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the donator features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other donator features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Enjoy :)

Verizon have seen fit to block the bootloader just like they lock everything else. I dont know why people who are insterested in messing around with their devices bothers going through verizon as they try to make it as hard as possible. I dont have the expertise to mess around with the bootloader so unless someone like Adam Outler looks into it I doubt you will be able to do much with it.

You can still use the Toolkit to do minor actions such as install apk's, adb backup but nothing that requires an insecure boot image or root.
