[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltcsjw:
I recently bought a new phone (e210k) that happens to be unlocked. I have looked everywhere online and I cannot seem to find the answer.

My problem is this:

I would like to update to jelly bean but I cannot do so via Kies or OTA (of course I'm pretty sure this is because it is unlocked).

However, I have tried to figure out this particular type of firmware and I cannot find any information on the firmware that the previous order had used to unlock this phone.

Would I be able to update the firmware and update to jelly bean without losing all my information and current apps. I know I can back up my information but there are certain apps that I would prefer to not have to reset.

Here is the information on about my current device:

Model Number: SHV-E210K

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband Version: E210KKKMC1

Kernal Version:

3.0.15-1183693

se.infra@SEP-109 #1

SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 24 15:34:34 KST

Build Number: IMM76D.E210KKKAMC2

Sorry, I'm not very tech savy when it comes to phones.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisT.:
Hello everyone,

I know there are many question similar to mine. However, I did my research and I'm still confused.

I am using a galaxy s1 i9000. I wanted to get the nexus 4 but I was shocked when I found out that the Asus padfone 2, which has almost the same hardware, scored higher in benchmarks with stock android without heating up or reaching a threshold, so it was hard to choose a phone that required modding and development to work at its best.

So, my question is, which phone is the best when it comes to:

1- android development support.

2- gaming (without the need to tinker with the phone)

3- (not so important) looks.

PS: I know the s3 is good, but it's too plastic-ish and doesn't feel right. And the new HTC one is really ugly.

I wouldve gotten the padfone 2 if it had some android support, but it doesnt.

Thanks and sorry for the long post.

Have I fried my XDA 2?

I've had this thing 1 hour and I was running the latest rom upgrade from O2. While it was checking the rom in my XDA2 it came back saying "Error 120: Country ID Error". Now the thing is stuck in a serial bootloader 1.03 mode and grey screen.

I'd not made ANY changes to config of the XDA before trying to upgrade it.

Any ideas?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Andy_Kendall:
Don't lose hope mate! I had a very similar problem, with the same result, only my screen said "Serial v1.01" Black text on grey background, no backlight. When I placed it into the USB Cradle it changed to "USB v1.01". It would do this even after I took the battery out for 20 minutes, the moment I relaced the battery, without even pressing the power button. I believe this is correct operation for the XDA II when it's "between ROMs" so to speak, perhaps someone in authority will confirm this?

Anyway, after rebooting the XDA II and the PC, and re running the upgrade sequence about 10 times it worked, and I now have a perfectly functional XDA II. Made me sweat, and swear, for a few hours though, I can tell you.

Keep trying and good luck. Sorry I can't help more!

I have the same problem... still not working eventhough tried many many times..

It wont even go to bootloader mode.. (pressing power, navigation and reset button)

I come up with serial on top but when i plug-in to a usb cradle it turns to USB and v.1 06 at bottom..

I also tried with different roms.. (QTEK and MDAII) upgrade utility but it only comes up with a window "checking the information on your pocket pc.. .please wait" then the xdaII screen went blank (like no power) and the utility does nothing else..

can someone help? or have i lost the xda II totally?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] jehlinger:
alimx,

when it says "Serial" and "v1.06" then changes to "USB" when you place in the cradle, IT IS in bootloader mode.

I had this same problem with a recent i-mate I bought for my boss. It won't let you downgrade or switch to any other ROM besides the 1.66 i-mate ROM.

1. Open Activsync without the unit in the cradle.

2. Go to Activsync and uncheck the box where it says "Allow USB Connection with this Computer" (seems strange I know but it works)

3. Put the i-mate in the cradle. It should say "USB" and "v1.06" at the bottom.

4. Download and run the i-mate ROM version 1.66 from clubimate website.

5. Allow it a few minutes and it should finally come up with the screen about converting blah blah to blah blah ROM.

For some reasons, the new i-mates coming out that have the 1.66 ROM will not allow a downgrade to ANY OTHER ROM. Which I think is BS.

For the guy having trouble with 1.10 Radio version. My suggestion is to re-run the 1.66 ROM (I think it's your only option at this point until a new ROM is issued from i-mate). It may fix things. My 1.10 radio version seemed better the second time I loaded the ROM (I know it shouldn't make a difference but it seemed to).[/list]

Dear all.

I had the very same problem couple nights ago. All I did was soft and hard reset, all of which didn't help. But just before I lost my hope, I re-cradled my XDA II, at that time my xda's screen was still black and displayed "Serial", then I chose different upgrade version and installed it from my PC and everything turned out fine.

HTH Cheers,

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aaron130:
What is everyone's preferred method for rooting the One? I've been with Samsung for a while now and haven't had an HTC since The Og Evo, I know I have to go to HTC Dev first and unlock the boot loader, but I'm a lil confused after that. D I use the tool kit? Or vipers method? Any help is much appreciated. I gotta get back into the HTC ways,lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
Just follow the steps at top left of the AIO toolkit. Then flash tarp at the top right of the AIO toolkit. From then you flash tons the same way as any other phone. Straight from recovery

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
The Note 8.0 doesn't come with anything like a Gorilla Glass. So I guess, a ScreenGuard would be pretty important, especially for Guys who carry the 8.0 everywhere. So post your experiences, recommendations here for everyone to see.

P.S. The Note 8.0 is yet to be launched in my country(India), but eBay is already full with 2-3 dozen listings for Scratch guards ranging anywhere between 5-20 USD!!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] robyr:
While Samsung doesnt explicitly advertise it, there is certainly some sort of treated glass on the Note 8. The glass is comparable to the glass on the Note 2 both in thicknesses and hardness. I tested on one of the bank's test units and it can certainly take abuse, even so far as resisting scratches from coarse granite.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
Thats good to know. Though I wonder why Samsung would choose to do so?

Even if doesn't want to pay royalties to Corning for the Gorilla Glass, at least it could write "scratch resistant glass" in its specs.

Would certainly improve our impression of the build quality of the Note8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
That really is bizarre that Samsung doesn't seem to mention anything about the quality of the glass--that seems like a big oversight on their part! It is good to hear your first-hand experience though--that is encouraging! :)

Perhaps at some point you or others could give a more detailed analysis of the glass quality, specific abuse it can withstand, etc.?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] redpoint73:
Even Gorilla Glass can be scratched from normal usage (as numerous reports by XDA users on various devices will attest). So don't take for granted that treated glass or GG makes your screen impossible to scratch.

Many people prefer the feel of going bareback with no protection, which is understandable. And its certainly a matter of preference. But its a simple fact that once you do scratch it, it really can't be undone. So if you are worried about scratches, better to protect it now, and not have to regret it later.

As far as what protector to buy, my recommendation would be to avoid the cheap ones. They tend to scratch easily, attract fingerprints, and you will be lucky to get them to last a couple months. Get a quality one in the $20 US range, as these are typically very difficult to scratch, actually attract less fingerprints and grime than the bare screen, and last a long time. I've had good quality protectors on my phone and my old tablet, that have been on for a year of more, and still look great. So in terms of durability and sheer quality, buying a good quality protector really pays off. Also, the wet apply type is much easier to install than dry.

Not sure what brands are available in the OPs home country. But I've had good luck with Skinomi and Zagg, but there are other high quality brands, as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
+1 to your opinion. Have seen some Gorilla glasses scratched.

Regards to applying, I would actually from a brick-and-mortar mobile shops, those guys are real experts at applying these.

Also, can anybody tell me the effect of the screen guard on the S-pen experience. Glossy or Matte. Which one would be preferrable? so as to not deteriorate the experience much
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
Well said!

I'm wondering about these questions too.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] redpoint73:
The wet apply screen protectors are pretty forgiving, and easy to apply. But having a pro do it is not a bad idea, if you are uncomfortable trying. If they mess it up, they typically just take it off and try again with a new protector (at no charge to you). Obviously not an option, if you do it yourself.

Can't comment personally on matte protectors. But some folks over at the HTC Flyer forum (my old tablet, that also has pen support) seemed to like the matte protectors, as the slightly textured surface felt a bit more like writing on paper. Using the pen on the glossy or non-matte variety is very similar to how it feels on the bare screen.

Matte protectors also cut down on glare. But they tend to give a "hazy" look to the screen that I find unacceptable.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
Thanks for the quick reply.

As a screen itself, I find Matte ones to be better, the viewing angles and sharpness can feel a notch down than the glossy, but the reduction in glare is pretty significant. I have it on one of my Laptops(also Samsung) and it feels very good.

I guess have to wait for others' views on the S-pen experience. Probably other Note devices have some opinions on other XDA sections, will try to find out
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] ZaphodAK42:
I hired the Geek Squad to install one of those InvisibleShield protectors from BestBuy when I got my Note 8, and had it on my tablet for about three hours. I took it off because it creates an incredible amount of friction with the S Pen's nub, making writing with the thing a fantastically aggravating chore (not to mention that the pen left track marks). I'm not saying that all screen protectors are so bad when it comes to this thing's core functionality, but InvisibleShield sure is. I'd be very curious about a protector with the lubriciously of the actual screen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
Could you throw some light on the material of the Screen Guard, was it glossy or matte?

So are you without the Guard now?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
Check out the thread I just made for the MiniGuard. It works very well!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] ZaphodAK42:
The guard was glossy, near as I can remember. I am indeed without the protector.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] bbfoto:
The ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protectors are the type applied with a liquid solution. Any of these type of screen protectors need to sit untouched for at least 24 hours to completely dry and become hard. Otherwise if you use your device before the skin has had a chance to completely dry, it will be slightly gummy at first, then a bit harder but still a bit of a rubber-type surface when using a stylus, which causes the stylus tip grab or stutter across the surface. Even when dry, these have a slight Orange Peel surface that I don't care for. YMMV. IME these also don't work well or last very long in Tropical or humid enviroments.

I've never liked any of the wet-application protectors for these reasons...I've tried the Zagg's, Skinomi's and one other I can't remember. I'll stick to the SGP/Steinhill Ultra Crystal dry-application protectors. Unfortunately, these aren't available yet for the Note 8.0.

Just my .02
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] ZaphodAK42:
Huh... that liar. The guy at BB told me that the protector would be just fine and dandy after two hours, which is why I bailed after trying to use it for an hour. Oh well. At least it provided about an hour of amusement as my buddy and I attempted to rip or puncture the plastic with everything we had in the house (we were unsuccessful, even with ceramic knives and a motorized hand drill) (edit- after I had taken the protector of my tablet, of course). I'll keep an eye out for one of the dry applicators that you mention. And I'll apply it myself, after reading the instructions with my own eyes.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] redpoint73:
Be aware that dry apply is much more difficult to put on. With wet apply, you have time to slide it around, into just the right position, before you squeegee the excess application fluid out. With dry apply, its basically like a sticker, if you are off by just millimeters as you start to place it, you have to peel it back and start over, likely getting more fingerprints on the edges every time you do that.

Also, for some reason I can't explain, the wet apply gets much less dust under the protector as you apply it. The wet apply protectors I've used (twice now) have gone on flawlessly, and dust free as far as I can see. Before this, I used the dry apply many times. It took some practice before I could really get a dust free application. The first few I did, had a good amount of dust under them until I learned to go it just right. Even with experience, it takes a lot of care to get a dust free install with the dry apply. With wet apply, its pretty effortless.

I couldn't tell you why the wet apply seems to get less dust under them during installation. It doesn't make sense by conventional wisdom. Maybe dust particles just get carried away, when you squeegee the excess application fluid away.

I'd recommend doing the shower trick with the dry apply type (and it doesn't hurt with wet apply either) to reduce the amount of dust in the air while you do the install. That is, run a hot shower for 10 minutes or so, to steam up your bathroom. This pulls much of the dust out of the air. Then bring your tablet in there and apply the protector (don't leave it in there before or after the install, to minimize the time the device is exposed to high humidity).

Its true that dry apply does have a smoother finish and less tacky feel then wet apply. They tend to not suffer from the "orange peel" look. But the orange peel look on good quality wet apply protectors tends to be hardly visible when the screen is off, and not visible at all when the screen is on. But this might vary depending on the room's lighting conditions. To me, the orange peel is not a bother, but that is probably a personal preference.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:
The experts who put the guards here, first polish the device display to a great extent and then put the guard straightaway.

The one they applied on my phone, had a good protective covering which was peeled as the guy applied more and more. Even after this, there was another protection over the actual guard.

Also the screen guard wasnt specifically for my device, he also cut it out as per my device after the application.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Turbo Brian:
I emailed Spigen SGP asking if they were going to make one for the Note 8 and they said they had no plans to do so. i was certainly disappointed to hear that. I have one of their protectors on my note 2 and its great. I agree with you, the dry apply protectors are so much smoother than the wet ones and do not have orange peel or get that "sticky" feeling.

there is another thread with a review of the MiniGuard protectors which look to be of the dry apply variety. i almost bought some the other day when i ran across them at amazon and now that the review confirmed it (with pics too), this looks like the best option since Spigen wont be making anything.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXQUQ9U/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] pluginalong:
That is too bad about Spigen SGP. If you (or others) try out the MiniGuard protectors consider letting us all know your impressions (and whether you went with Clear or Anti-Glare). [MENTION=883744]JokeZony0u[/MENTION] has done a great review of the Clear protectors, but I think it is still helpful to have multiple datapoints for these kinds of things.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] bbfoto:
^^Thanks for that. Yeah, it looks as if the MiniGuard is the dry-app protector to get since Spigen SGP is out of the equation. Hopefully we'll get more good reviews of other protectors as well.

I agree that the hot, steamy shower technique is good. Also have some small, clean pieces of 3M Scotch Tape handy to pluck off any dust particles from the screen or the contact side of the protector film. I use a large microfiber cloth lightly dampened with isopropol alcohol to clean the entire device beforehand. Then I use the included microfiber cloth to further clean the screen just before applying the protector.

There's a good YouTube video on the best way to apply the dry protectors.

You line the protector up on your screen first (before removing any layers).

Then once the film is aligned properly, hold it in place and attach two pieces of blue painter's tape to the top of the protector film and just along ONE SIDE of the phone/tablet...one near the top and one near bottom, so that the screen protector flaps open to one side like a page in a book, using the blue painter's tape as a hinge.

Flip it open & out of the way and clean the screen again with your microfiber cloth. Double-check your alignment and readjust if necessary.

Then peel back the bottom film layer, remove it completely, and slowly apply the screen protector from the taped side to the free side.

Sqeegee out any bubbles.

Lift the protector just slightly with another small piece of blue painter's tape if you need to remove any dust particles with your Scotch Tape.

Sqeegee again and make sure the alignment is good.

Only remove the side positioning tape if you are satisfied with the application and alignment.

Finally, carefully remove the temporary top layer from the main screen protector film, being careful not to lift the main protector film.

Just found my Note 8 came with a preinstalled screen protector.. Need to look very close to find out.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Frazior:
lol... looks like you guys are going through the same things I am. I have been using Spigen products for the last three years and love them. Once they are on you almost forget that they are there. Someone in an earlier comment said that the "dry application" protectors are harder to install because they get dust under them. This can happen with the "wet application" ones as well. I just installed my first "wet application" this weekend ( Zagg Invisible Shield) and even after 48 hours the "orange peel" effect on the screen is unacceptable to me. I have an iSmooth on order and will let you know how I feel it stacks up to the Spigens on my S4 and Nexus 10.

If anyone else has thoughts about the other "dry application" protectors I am interested in hearing about them.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] 0mega007:
Ismooth are great, i use them, they are easy to apply, invisible and dont get scratched with the spen (you might see marks of what you write on the protector, but with a gently wipe they come off).

I had a perfectly applied one on my first note (not 1 single dust spec and perfectly aligned), not even if i tried it again 10,000 times i think i would get so perfect again, sadly i had to change the tablet because a dead pixel, and had to apply another to the new tablet, but i got another good install, not like the other but good enough.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Frazior:
I am pretty much a perfectionist when it comes to the screen protectors. My iSmooth just came in (gotta love Amazon Prime) and at least from the install and initial looks point of view it is comparable to the Spigen. Time will tell about the durability.

I tried one of the TechArmour protectors whilst I'm waiting for a tempered glass one to arrive from distant shores.

Easy to install dry, and practically invisible. Very slight drag on the stylus, but not too bad. Seems to be pretty scratch resistant so far. Definitely one of the better cheap protectors I've used. Not oleophobic though..
