[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempist305:
Hey guys I'm looking for a job at the moment to hopefully get enough cash for a new Android phone, and I should have enough money in about a month's time. I have the HTC One S right now and I'm just not happy with the screen size and the build quality. I'd like to go into more detail about my current phone but I want to keep this as short and sweet as possible. I'm not happy with the fact that I HAVE to use a case in order to keep my phone from shattering if I drop it, so I want a cheaper construction. I also am quite disappointed in the screen size and pixel density, for trying to compete with the SGSIII on T-Mobile, a 720p screen should be a minimum specification. I don't have to try at all to see pixels on my screen, and after seeing the Nexus 4 at a local T-Mobile store, I was quite jealous. So basically what I'm getting at is that I can't get the new phone just yet, but if I land this job within the next week, I should have it by mid march or near the end, so I want to know which phone I should get that won't be outdated by the end of March, has a large screen and is on T-Mo of course, or if I should even get one at all right now, or just wait until a brand new one comes out this summer or something. Let me know what you guys think and I'll be sure to consider your advice, thanks so much for reading :)! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishuy21:
Wait for some time about march-april or maybe June as all major companies are releasing their new mobile flagship in this period

Samsung - Galaxy S4 and Note 3

HTC - HTC ONE

Sony - Xperia Z

L.G.- L.G Optimus G Pro

all of these will have full HD screen i.e 1920*1080

Samsung specs are still not released but

Sony Xperia Z specs... http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-5204.php

HTC One specs.... http://m.gsmarena.com/htc_one-5313.php

L.G Optimus G Pro specs...... http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g_pro-5254.php

Well all of these would be Best of their Kinds

But u should wait for Samsung as they always come with Best....

Xperia Z has shatter proof screen... Also it is in rumours that Galaxy S4 will have unbreakable screen that means

No need of case type things.... good luck...:laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempist305:
Thanks for the replies, however I just discovered that I basically have no choice but to get a Nexus 4, (which is amazing don't get me wrong) because I really don't want to save up $600 to $700 for a carrier phone, plus I hate hate hate hate hate hate having carrier branding on the front and back of my device. I don't want T-Mobile, the company that takes my money every month to be engraved on my phone... So thanks again for the advice but I think I'll be going with the Nexus 4. I guess I'll just purchase a 3rd party made bumper for it when it comes in the mail :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I was at the local mall and stopped by the ghost armor kiosk and a guy that worked there had a nexus 4 and I must say the protection seemed to be pretty good. They charge around $40 for full body protection installed (seems kind of expensive for screen protection). The question I had was how does Ghost Armor compare to Xtremeguard? I know Xtremeguard is much cheaper (wondering if that's for a reason).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctscloud:
I haven't had a chance to try out the Ghost Armor, but from a price point, it's hard to complain about the Xtremeguard protector...check out the review I did for some free information. Basically, the Xtremeguard is really good bang for buck price, but I know many people (including myself) aren't a big fan of the surface of the screen protector. The back for the N4 is pretty much no complaints. Only the front is a concern.

Thanks I'll take a look at your review.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlear3:
Can't comment on the other but I have xtremeguard and love it. Pros: I've reapplied this thing like 6 times. Once my cat knocked it off the table and the back side got dirty, took a paper towel and cleaned it up. Still sticks and holds very well. Feels as though it would protect the phone. Cons: peels often with both my poetic bumper as well as my mybat case. Also like the video commented, it's not glass, it's rubbery and therefore the screen have some orange peel effect.

Ghost armor

I've the ghost armor, and it's almost perfect except for:

- High price

- A little bit difficult to apply. You have less than 3 seconds to align the protector, and the soap solution is not included on the pack.

You can hardly see that there's a protector, and the orange peel is less than expected.

I recommend it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctscloud:
Less than 3 seconds... That sucks. I'd like to get my hands on one to see for myself, the i can compare the two. How can you recommend it if it's a bit difficult to apply? Lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
Ghost armor is great. Better than skinomi and you have more than 3 seconds to apply... I've tried almost all brands of protectors and for the n4, I'd go with the ghost armor.

Side note - skinomi rubber squeegee is better than the ghost armor one imo.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I ordered the Xtremeguard protectors since they were only $5 for four. I really like the factory screen protector, still using it with no issues at all. It's just the back protector started to bubble near the edge from when I took the bumper off. If the Xtreme guard doesn't work I'll try the Ghost Armor since it seems to be very good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctscloud:
From my experience, I had absolutely no problems with the back from Xtremeguard so I don't expect you to have it either. As you may know, I'm using the Poetic Borderline, but didn't find problems with that combo. The front for me was a bit more of a hassle, especially with that minor orange peel. But let us know how it goes and if you do get the Ghost Armor later, definitely interested in testing that out if you do get it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus 4:
I just received my xtreme guard, 1 week from the USA to UK!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rellur:
I use Xtremeguard its kind of rubbery and you lose some screen clarity due to this. But it can be easily re-applied if the need arises. also that self heal ability is quite good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I'll let you know how it works. Is the orange peel created by how you put it on or is it just how the screen protector looks? The ghost armor protector I saw on the nexus 4 didn't have the orange peel look at all. I'm also using the poetic bumper and haven't had any issues with it yet but I've heard a lot of people mention issues they've had.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gja88:
I have a ghost armor and can say it's worth it for the price you pay. Very minimal orange peel which you can not see unless you stare and look for it. Lifetime warranty too whenever you decide to change it. I've tried bse, XG, and SGP and while all are good I'm glad I pulled the trigger with ghost armor.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctscloud:
Yes, it was created by how I put it on. Basically I have the worst luck when it comes to this stuff. I tried filming the actual install but it was too hard and I ended up editing it. So I think if I had didn't film from the start, there wouldn't be too much (if at all) orange peel.

I did try to reapply the front again and it doesn't work well (my fault, not protector ) and the bumper definitely got in the way on the second time I applied it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
Did you install it yourself or have it installed by the employees at the kiosk?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gja88:
I had the dude install it. Came out to 35 front and back and I passed on the sides (since I have a bumper case). They offered 10% off with it so yeah.

Xtremeguard just sent me a free front/back because one of the speaker cutouts wasn't right. Only needed a back but they sent it out within 5 minutes of my email. Awesome customer service.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
I got xtremeguard and I am quite pleased with it! I have bought Skinomi and Invisible Shield(since way back when) in the past and I feel that Xtremeguard is just as good. From memory, it is smoother and less orange peel looking. Not sure if it is dust/lint that snuck in during installation, but I have a group of white bubbles in some areas that are not fully adhered. Speaking of lint, it came with a yellow cloth that I knew not to use but it was on the screen when I applied and got between the protector and my phone. Luckily I was able to dye it black with my gel pen!

I've attached some pics.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
The Xtremeguard protectors I ordered arrived today. I just finished installing the front and back protectors (I ordered 2 of each) and must say that I agree with what most people have said about them. The back looks fine (but I think it's because of the texture of the nexus 4 back, so it hides a lot of things). The front protector does feel a little rubbery. I haven't noticed the orange peel affect yet. I'm assuming that may start to come after a day or so? Also received one bad back protector that had already been peeled and had some paper stuck to the adhesive side (so I couldn't use that one). The two front protectors have a couple small white specs on the adhesive side that couldn't be removed. I emailed Xtremeguard about this to see if they can send me a replacement. Overall I think the screen protectors are okay but from what I saw at the Ghost armor Kiosk, the Ghost Armor protectors are better from a look and feel perspective.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limes Times:
I have had the Xtremegaurd protector on my N4 for about a week and a half now, and I still haven't gotten the orange peel effect. My case (ringke fusion) does lift up the side of the screen protector next to the power button, and I am thinking about trimming the side of the protector off so it doesn't rap around the glass to avoid this problem. My fingers also seem to almost stick to the screen sometimes, and it seems like it gets dirty extremely easily, but these are minor issues.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the back screen protector does not play well at all with the case. It leaves a horrible wet look, and is very unattractive. I ordered a dbrand skin though, so hopefully that fixes the problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I just put my poetic bumper back on after letting it dry overnight and it was doing the same thing with the edges near the power button (mostly) and a little on the back . Bubbles around the edges. I'm wondering if since these are supposedly full body protectors that is why they cover all the way to the edge (assuming you won't be using a case?I haven't noticed the orange peel effect yet either and it has been on for about 8-9 hours now. But overall for $5 (for 2 front and 2 back protectors) it isn't a bad screen protector. This was also my first time using a wet application screen protector and I was a little concerned about that but it wasn't difficult.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunnygupta:
Xtreme Guard Screen Protector is even cheaper now. Use coupon 75off and get full body protection just for $2.5 including shipping. I just ordered two of them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
Well Xtremeguard gave me the option of a refund or replacement. I decided to go with a replacement since the screen savers seem like they are okay for the price I paid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I happened to be at the mall today and stopped my the ghost armor kiosk and thought about getting the ghost armor protector but decided not since I had just installed the Xtremeguard protector last night. Watching the guys at the ghost armor kiosk install the screen protectors was interesting though (they made it look very easy). They spray (mist)the soapy solution on the phone, the protector and a rubber squeegee. Then quickly apply the screen protector while both the screen and protector are wet with the soapy solution. After it is aligned on the screen they use the squeegee to get the air bubbles out and sit it in the dryer they have at the kiosk. The next time I apply a wet application protector I'm going to give this method a try because I think the installation of these protectors is the key to how they look (no bubbles, no orange peel etc.) on your device. I know they install hundreds in a week but it really didn't seem difficult watching them do it. No dipping your hands in the water or anything like that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlear3:
Yeah its the same if you buy a zagg. Same thing in the box
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
After having the Xtremeguard Protector on for a few days I have some observations:

- it does feel a little rubbery

- not as smooth to touch as the factory screen protector or screen itself

- not as easy to keep clean with microfiber and water as the factory screen protector and/or screen (I've found using a spray bottle with a mixture of soap and water helps clean it much better)

- the screen protector seems to bubble along the edge near the power button every now and then (I'm using a poetic bumper). I just use a squeegee or my hand to remove the bubble

- haven't noticed the orange peel affect (if it's there it's very minimal because I can't notice it and I'm really looking for it)

I wouldn't bet on it. If you get the encryption unsucessful screen, pop battery and odin to stock, Do not follow the on screen instructions, I've dodged it a few times, it only sticks when you proceed from that screen. Theres some chatter that its happened on 4.1.2, Be safe.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk3tchy:
I keep reading that the EU Bug does not occur with JellyBean which is not true!

I was running SlimBean Build 4.1.2 Stable

I made the jump to SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 2

Everything was fine for a few days. I rebooted the phone last Saturday morning and it hung on the Semaphore splash screen.

I left it for about 20 min but it was still just sitting on the Semaphore splash screen.

I pulled the battery for 10 min and tried to boot it again with the same result.

Pulled the battery again for 10 min and tried to boot into CWM but no go. Tried again and again, but same result each time it just hung on the Semaphore Screen.

I poped in the Jig and Odin to JFD. The phone would now power on I'd get the bootloader splash screen and it would power itself back off after about 3 seconds.

I never had the EU screen nor had I run ICS in months.

I flashed Eugene's Froyo with Odin which did get the phone to boot, but when I went into mounts and storage I noticed everything showed 0.0

I did alot of reading and the only thing that got me running was by using the external SDcard and the JB vold.stab fix.

I only use the Vib as a music player in the car so its not a huge deal, but thought I would share this as there seems to be alot of misconception out there that JellyBean, SlimBean, Semaphore Kernel is safe.

We all know the risks and live with the concequences. And for a device that only got Froyo OTA! I am nothing but greatfull to the developers who have kept the Vibrant alive!

Flashing custom ROMs may have resulted to the demise of my internal storage, but these same ROMs kept my Vibrant alive far longer than I would have ever believed once I learned the T959 would not be upgraded to GB!

Cheers,

Chris
[General Questions and Answers] Ohmster:
Hi,

Running cm-10-20121130-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-CODEWORKX on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1, GT-P5113 and I must say, I absolutely love this Jellybean ROM! I have 4.2.1, can run Flash on most websites with Firefox and Dolphin, and everything works, you guys rock, man. Thank you, thank you, "We're now worthy!"

But, I have a couple of issues and getting an answer on this forum is really tough, man. Easier to pull teeth from a charging rhino than get an answer here, but I will try again.

My first jellybean attempt was the Milestone zip, total failure, would not install. This new one does and boy is it sweet.

1.) For whatever reason, I have hardly any room left on internal storage. I did a clean install, complete wipe with CWM and installed the proper gapps. Used Titanium Backup to restore my stuff that did not come back from Google, (No data, just apps.) and Titanium could not finish, out of disk space. Huh? Where did it all go? Storage in the settings shows 11.87Gb Total, Available 1.3Gb. But the color bar breakdown does not add up. Apps, pictures, videos, download, cached data and apps, shows the bar at approximately 1/3 used up, the rest is all dark gray, meaning "Available", yet, it is NOT available at all. Where did it go?

Using ES File Explorer, I can see all kinds of weird stuff that seems duplicated. Under /storage are 4 folders called emulated, sdcard1, sdcard0, and usbdisk0. Emulated shows two folders, 0 and legacy. The 0 folder is an exact duplicate of my internal sdcard. If I have a complete duplicate of my sdcard in the /storage/emulated/0/ folder, of course I will have no room! I have two copies of everything on the card, what is this for?

Let me add a single file to my sd card to see if it shows up in the 0 folder. Okay, added an empty file called "File". Back to emulated. Yeah, it is there. Properties of the 0 folder show it as a "Folder", not a shortcut, with over 3Gb of data. /storage/sdcard0 is the same thing. So is /sdcard, and /mnt/sdcard.

Clearly, I do not have more than 4Gb of data on that internal storage, yet I only have 1.3Gb available. Does anybody understand this jellybean 4.2.1 file system?

2.) Minor irritation. Anytime I plug the headphone jack into my car stereo to listen to TuneIn or use the Navigator, the screen constantly shows "Complete action using" Android Music or Apollo. I dismiss this with the back button but it returns to the screen, every ten minutes. Is there any way to disable this?

Thanks. Any help would really be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] -Rob3rt-:
I've got the same problem, but I'm using the latest CM10.1 nightly. Perhaps it could be related to multi-user support, but imho it's a waste of storage space...
[General Questions and Answers] Ohmster:
Yeah, I'll say. It works, it is Jellybean, and it is smooth. Seems like everything works too. Now that is a pretty high mark for a ROM, I will keep it but hope the developers address the storage and audio issues. You plug this tablet into the car AUX jack and it forever nags you what audio application to open. Dismiss the screen and it comes back, repeatedly. Plus, if you use the Google talk keyboard, your audio out becomes shot and you must unplug the audio jack and start all over again. That kind of sucks, so the ROM needs work, but overall, this is a pretty good build. Hey thanks for writing back.:D

One point on the audio issue, this is a really bad thing because I use this tablet in the car all the time. When the nag screen blocks my navigation or voice type blows the outbound audio, I must fix this stuff while driving, all the time taking my eyes off the road. So this issue is more serious than I had previously stated.
