[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] usn.mustanger:
Speaking of tempered glass, has anyone tried a TechPro protector (Amazon link), or a similar tempered glass protector? Pretty high hardness (8-9H), so it should be pretty scratch resistant. Honestly, I've never used screen protectors with my devices, but given the fact that the screen of my Note 8 is a writing surface, and I'll be using it in an industrial environment (Navy ship), I gotta get one for this tablet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] gramps50:
I just put the TechPro from Amazon on my N8 today. Very nice I like the way it fits. Once you use one of the tempered glass screen protectors you will never put one of the film ones on again. Good fit, doesnt change the screen clarity, S-Pen works great, no complaints here. Have the Bodyguardz Pure on my N3 and this is compatible.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] skeeterpro:
Do it. You'll love it. Mine doesn't interpreter whatsoever for note taking or anything else.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] casperi:
I have the Tech PRO on mine for 6 months now I think . Couldn't be happier. In fact every phone and tablet I own has tempered glass protection on them. For just a little bit more cash you get the feeling of going bearback with the safety of if you drop it, it's the glass protector that will crack and not your screen. There's also the wear factor as well. The coating that companies put on their screens eventually wears off due use and cleaning. With a glass protector if that does happen simply pull it off and replace.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskingAlex:
So as the title says, can you root your phone and then flash a custom Rom without a sim card installed?

I'm getting an S2 either at the end of this week or during the start of next week, but I'm getting it as fully unlocked and without a sim card (I'm getting a sim only contract in less that 2 weeks). I want to install the Siyah Kernel, then flash the CyanogenMod 10.1 Rom (and then Gapps, of course).

So, is it safe to do this without a sim card installed? Of course I'll upgrade the phone the Jelly-bean first before flashing anything (I've looked a lot into this). I've seen a thread on here where the members said it was safe, but I saw on another website that it caused problems. So sorry if this is a noobish question or whatever, I just wanted to make sure of everything.

Also,

Are Siyah Kernel and CyanogenMod 10.1 a good match? I'd make another thread for this, but seeing as I'm making this one, I may as well just include it as a quick question here :D

And,

I'm getting the S2 for a good price (£205 because of a store nearby trying to get rid of the excess stock that they still have). And I've pretty much got my eyes set on this phone because it's plenty enough for me. Just thought I'd throw that out there before someone tries to suggest another phone to me, because I've kinda got my sights set on the S2, haha :')
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thin_Bezel:
1.Yep, it is safe to flash without a sim card installed.

2.Try it yourself and see what kernel suits you best :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskingAlex:
1. Alright, thanks :D

2. If I don't happen to like it, can I just change it by flashing a new one as I would do originally? Or would I have to do anything extra now that the custom Rom had been installed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Let me add a minor point too..

When ur planning to mix different roms and kernels, be careful u choose kernels which support the roms.

In ur case, if u want to use Siyah, choose the correct version that works with CM10.1. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AskingAlex:
I've checked, and Siyah Kernal version 1.9.1. works fine with CM 10.1 :)

I had checked before but it never hurts to check again just to make sure, eh? After all, I don't want to mess up my phone on the first day :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
In a way ur correct. But v1.9.1 is for the SGS3. :rolleyes:

For SGS2, use v6 b5. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
Hello people. I have a small problem and I hope someone can halp me. My phone ( s5570i ) sounds really quiet and I don't know how to make it louder. I am using STOCK ROM and for the moment I tried DSP manager ( but it force close ).

What audio engine or what app should I use to obtain a louder sound in my speaker?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Masrepus:
Has it been that quiet always since you bought it?

If not, if it only happens sometimes, try rebooting. I had it sometimes that for example music came out of the phoning-speaker instead of the big one. Rebooting solves this.

If not, I dont know what u could do
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bogdan99999:
On stock it sounds very quiet. With custom ROM ( some custom roms ) it sound loud. Don't you know an engine, audip engine, app etc.. that is compatible with this phone?

Hmm... no, i don't know any. Anyone else?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] meyert11:
I have an older tablet (gtab) running 10.1 that my kid uses, while I use the kindle 8.9. It'd be nice to use Amazon's "Kindle FreeTime" on the gtab, but to do so I imagine I'd have to use Kindle's launcher. After rooting, installing CM 10/9 is it possible to simulate a kindle on another tablet? Would it be equivalent to making a Kindle ROM?

Is it worth the trouble to port it to your device? I guess that's up to whoever would be willing to put the work into it.
[One (M7) General] Du22ty:
Received my one a few days ago and other than not being able to remove the power saver notification I love this phone.

I do have one concern though. I'm not sure it's a problem but what does everyone think about the call quality? Comparing it to my Sensation it almost sounds like the person on the other end is speaking into a cup.

I haven't had a new phone in quite some time so it might just be something different.. or it might be a problem. What's everyone's opinions?
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
ATT version here on their network and I think it's the best call quality I've had on a phone, I've used the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 weeks before this aswell so, *shrug*

To remove power saver notification just long press on the notification and go into the app info and force stop it! This will only stop the notification from appearing and will not stop anything else!
[One (M7) General] Sodalitas:
I use my phone extensively for work, and sometimes I take calls in the office (very low background noise) and sometimes in the loading bays (where there's always some sort of moving/construction/drilling etc). Today, while in the loading bay calling up a vendor, the vendor on the other side of the line commented that there were "like no background sounds" and asked me if I was in the office.

This is coming from a Galaxy Nexus, and I've been very pleased with call quality so far.
[One (M7) General] jlevy73:
By the way, to remove power saver, go to settings, app, all apps, power, untick notifications.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic0:
Hi all! First of all sorry for my english :D

I've bought my xperia z few days ago and I am experiencing a very low battery life, even without using the device too much. First thing I noticed (when I fully charged the device for the first time) was the the standby time approximately only 5 hours with stamina mode (!!!) and a huge battery drain, something like 1% every 2-3 minutes with only mobile connection (GSM) activated and some browsing (no flash only text), no bravia engine, no video, no application in background, lowest possible light screen and of course stamina mode. After about 2 hours 60% of battery remained. Now I have about 5% and I used it for about 20 minutes of browsing, some game (2D), and nothing more.

I ran a test on the battery but seems in good health.

I should re-calibrate my battery?

N.B.

When I bought it I have used it until the discharge (10-5%) of battery then I've made partial charge up to 50-60% then discharge again (10-5%), afterwards a full charge of about 5-6 hours. Can this have damaged the battery?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokbepogi16:
did you update to .434? because some users say that they got a battery drain when they updated to this version,

anyways, ill give you a solution that works for me,,, install " snapdragon batery guru" really helps alot , and you will noticed some battery improvements, much better than the power management mode,:)

p.s. dont use it on gaming to much, and dont remove it to charger often ( even when its not fully charged yet)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
If the service test say the, battery is fine, it probably is.

Have you tried factory reset?

It sounds like some app is keeping the device awake (and very active)

Try providing some more info, like battery stats.

You should install wakelock detector or better battery stats and see if there's a bad app. And solve it with greenify or uninstall
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic0:
Sorry I'm quite noob on android, xperia is my first android device :D I'm coming from symbian :eek:

Yes I updated on .434

For the apps keeping awake, I only saw the "battery usage" menu ad it says: Display 46%, Chrome 11%, Android System 11%, Media Server 10%, Standby 4%
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
Well to begin with de activate chrome, and all syncing.

Settings > accounts > press account & de activate all automatic synchronisation.

For chrome go to apps > all apps > chrome > deactivate.

Then go to play store download dolphin browser :)

I was considering making a ROM upgrade with the UK version that is available without any registration.

OR; Maybe mine is already a UK version... :D , SO how do I check this?

Ok I am not doing this post because I am lazy or don't want to look for the answer. In fact I have over 93 hours of searching and trying different things to get this to work.

Ok here is the deal.

Customer came in with a bricked Samsung GS3 from AT&T. We tried to unhardbricked it and was not able to. Customer did a good job on this.

We sold the customer a Bell I747M 32 GB unlocked mother board and installed it for them. Works great. went right on AT&T service. Good Job.

Ok the same customer came back in and wanted us to root and put custom ROM on "Synergy",

I rooted the phone like I have done to many in the last 2 years. good worked got CWM on it.

Then I flashed Synergy on it. The phone booted and all looked great. Customer changed over to straight talk so now I need to put the apn setting in. Failed. I am not able to edit the apn at all. Ok I should be able to edit the apn. I have done this on many SGS3. but this is the first for Bell.

Ok I reflashed the ROM again and still not able to edit the apn.

Ok I reflashed with CSROM, same thing not able to edit the apn.

Ok I reflashed back to Bell stock ROM and it is unlocked and I am able to edit apn.

Ok I rerooted it a different way. Installed Custom ROM, still not able to edit apn.

Now with Stock ROM on the phone it is unlocked. was able to edit apn. After rooting both ways was able to edit apn. But once I put custom ROM on it, and I have used Paranoid Android, CSROM, Synergy, and Wicked on it. The apn is locked and not able to edit it.

I have tried many things. both in rooted and unrooted way, as well with custom ROM and in Stock ROM.

If any one can lead me down the right path that will work in letting my customer edit the apn in a custom ROM on a AT&T Samsung galaxy S3 with a Canadian Bell 32 GB unlocked mother board. I say hats off to you and thank you very much.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zanatoas:
Thank you xero I did not think of doing a root with any thing other than cwm. My preferred choice for rooting phones.

Ok here is some help for those that run in to this problem.

Root the phone with a root mod that is for your country. In my case it was a bell main board and I used cm-10.1 d2att to root the phone. this for some reason locked out the apn so you can not edit it. I rerooted the phone with team win recovery 2.5.0.0 d2can. Then I flashed Synergy for att,bell. Passed I am able to edit the apn now.

I can not say if it was cwm or not that locked out the apn. I love cwm it is the greatest. I will look for a d2can version of cwn to add to my tools.

Now for team win recovery. this is my first time using it. and it seems a but to much. but I will try it out on a few other phones I have to root this week and give a report on it.

again thanks go to xero for his aid. Hats off to you bro or dame. Just did not cross my mind to use d2can.

PS

For Xero I owe you one. you made a happy customer. so if you shoot me an e-mail I will repair one phone free of labor for you. I can fix hard bricked to crack LCDs and Digitizers.

Man Thank you so much.

And many thanks go out to all of XDA for all the great mods and ROMs and the people who help and use them.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmission:
it's a recovery released a few years ago for some devices with a certain qualcomm usb controller that could be manipulated in order to fool the ps3 into factory service mode and flash a different firmware and bring back linux capability (feature was removed in firmware versions over 3.56), there are some programmable usb sticks and even some scientific calculators that do the trick, on the hd2 there was a kernel and a script that made my life easier but I have since broken the damn thing and haven't been able to get my hands on one in a fair price (or the first HTC Desire).

my problem is that I can't put the ps3 in factory service mode, I'm not trying to flash a rom or a kernel or something, for that I will flash twrp as I like touch recovery from 2013 lol, the recovery itself appears to be functional, I haven't got the slightest idea if it actually works (communicate with the phone's usb controller and give the command to the ps3 to go to FSM) cause you mentioned that hboot changes might affect it. Being s-off could I revert back to a 2010 hboot? I don't mind full wiping my phone, after so many years of testing I ended up using only a few apps I actually need and all the rest is either on my sd card or on the cloud.
