[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtnichols04:
Tried mobile Odin, it soft bricked my phone, had to plug in to a full charge before I could even get it back into recovery. The first 24 hours it wouldn't even go back into download or recovery... I thought I was going to have to get a new phone. Weirdest thing ever. Downloaded and tried a new stock firmware. I feel like I'm running out of options.. Lol and every time I triangle away I reboot and my triangle is back..lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AverageCanadian:
Was really hoping you'd find a solution to this. Sometime ago my phone's USB stopped working as well. It can still charge but the computer does not recognize it. My Googlefu has led me to believe this has happened to a hand full of people with Samsung phones.

Was hoping to flash stock Rom on my phone but I can't connect via Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krufttangoud:
USB Cord matters...

Are you using the stock USB cord. it is 11 pin and most others are 5. Makes a difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mtnichols04:
Yes, Ive tried every USB plug under the sun. My phone sometimes gets detected by my computer, and I can browse files but if I try to copy something from it, it freezes half way through, then becomes undetechable. Ive tried to flash through odin but it never works....just get stuck then fails.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chp:
I've tried many many screen protectors on various devices and I swear by the Spigen products. Since they don't have a Steinheil or GLAS.tR SLIM offering yet, I decided to give the AT&T-branded screen protector a try:

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/screen-protectors/sku6610351.html

The packaging has a Case-Mate logo on the front, although Case-Mate's website doesn't show it.

Anyway, the cut seems pretty good; it covers most of the glass, up to the beveled edge. It has a cutout in the upper right for the front facing camera and sensors. The feel is not quite as good as Steinheil, but acceptable. I'd consider the clarity above average; while not quite invisible like the Steinheil, it's still pretty clear.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Yeah. I have the AT&T screen protectors as well. Seems ok even though I don't generally do screen protectors cause they always bubble at the edges when the phone is in a case that overlaps the edges.
[LG Optimus G Pro] RaptorMD:
I did ask Spigen about offering some of their Crystal Clear ones and was told they would be offering them in a couple of weeks. So hopefully that is the case, but they are not on the site yet. I am going to inquire as to any news or updates on it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fix-this!:
there decent. can't beat 3 for only $10.
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
I find that the screen protectors that we (at&t) offer tend to really hold on to fingerprints and not let them go without a fight. I'm assuming that's the case here as well?

Still waiting for my xtreme guardz to ship. I don't know if they have and don't notify you or if that company is just horribly slow.

On a side note, I just picked up my Folio case from my store today and it is wonderful. Way better than that cheap crap Samsung makes for theirs. Even has the nfc and wireless charging built in along with sensors that shut the screen off when closed.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
How much bulk does that case add?

3 for $10 is bad of a price. I might have to stop by tomorrow and get a pack. Thanks for the review OP.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mgd76:
My daughter had the att guy apply hers. Looks great, just a couple of small bubbles near the home button. When they spread, she'll try one of the two left in the pack. I suspect she'll ruin it, and take the phone back to the att guy for the last one. Then, maybe, she'll take my recommendation and get a Zagg. How long that all takes = how good the att one is... looks good for now!
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I also just picked up the Folio case. I'm a case hater because they usually add bulk, but I'm a big fan of this case. Since the "case" is actually just a screen cover attached to a back plate there is almost no additional bulk. The cover is millimeters thick and the back plate may add a tiny bit of material along the sides, but it's hardly noticeable. I initially balked at the $50 price tag, but with the built-in NFC and Qi charging, it's hard to argue.
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
Exactly. Make sure to enable to screen off option in your display settings to take full advantage of the case of you haven't already. :thumbup:
[LG Optimus G Pro] ajamils:
Have anyone noticed a decrease in brightness with this screen protector? I just got the phone from another person who already had the screen protector installed at AT&T store and to me the brightness seems ridiculously low even at 100% compared to my One X+.

Sent from LG Optimus Phablet.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chp:
A few more observations now that I've used it in the office (bright lights) and outdoors.

From a fingerprint perspective, it seems fairly comparable to the Steinheil.

Under bright light with the screen off, the protector actually has a ever slight purple tinge to it, where the Steinheil is very clear.

With the screen on, it does not seem to affect the screen brightness adversely.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jesi.james:
What about the screen colors? Do they look any bit washed out?
[LG Optimus G Pro] sabre31:
The best screen protectors I have used on any phone is Spigen ultra crystal. It's like you don't even have one on they are also very easy to put on. Issue is Spigen doesn't sell them for this phone yet unless you buy their Spigen case for LG Optimus G Pro they give you one.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrklc1974:
I have tried many screen protectors including at&t ones in the past. I just got the 3 pack for 10 bucks from at&t and they are very good... very clear unlike ones from them I've tried.before that.made the pixels look weird. Those who are looking for 10 bucks you won't be disappointed
[LG Optimus G Pro] nthknd:
Got mine today and it looks great. Clear and does the job. I do see alot of figure prints and it isn't a antiglare but still its great for the price plus Att will put it on for you to insure its done right. I can never get them right
[LG Optimus G Pro] lessthanzach:
I must have put on like 5000 of these in the 8 years I've been in cell phone sales. Dust doesn't even stand a chance when you've put on that many.

[LG Optimus G Pro] funkeruski:
I've decided to return my Optiimus G Pro. Great phone, but could not get used to the size of the phone is my hand. I've got two extra AT&T protectors that I'll send to the first person that PM's me their address. Will only mail within USA.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jbatacan:
While the application was easy, with no bubbles or dust anywhere, and it gets ride of finger prints easily enough, i found that the att screen protectors scratched really easily. I do nothing different with this phone that i do with my others, and i already have hair line scratches all over the front of it ( gladly not on my screen ), just fair warning. I had the application down perfect and hate to have to re-do it because of future clarity issues due to scratching.
[LG Optimus G Pro] g0at1:
I personally enjoy the invisible shield.

I've had it on my Nokia N900, then on a xperia mini pro, on my wife's iPad and iPad mini, her iPhone, my GNex and my OGP.

Got nothing to complain about it. The only thing is that, if you live in hot weathered country and keep the cell in your pocket without a flip cover, it'll eventually start loosing glue and will need to be replaced.

That's why I always buy them in pairs. So I always have a spare.

BTW, they feel really good at touch.

I highly recommend.

extreme guards even worst with fingerprints..and it will adhere to the color of your jeans if u sweat in the summer, mine got tinted blue
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
Just as an FYI, most folio/flip cases use the magnetic or proximity sensor (hopefully not the proximity in this case) which are constantly kept alive when enabled for auto screen off/on. This might have a negative impact on battery life. It definitely did on my Atrix HD, which is only dual core, even with the RAZR MAXX battery installed which has a bit more juice than our stock battery.

As the thread says, share your homescreen with everyone. Also, include instructions as to how you achieved it, i.e.

Nova Launcher Prime. Hopefully there will be a way to flash CM or any other AOSP based rom on the Wifi version as I can't stand the Honeycomb like nav buttons and all the Sony bloatware. Tried to replace most of the Sony apps with proper stock Android apps, and thankfully Nova Launcher let's me hide all the things I don't need.

Chose this tablet because of the unavailability of the Nexus 10 over here, the weight of the tablet, and the (wrong) assumption this tablet would be easy to turn into a "pseudo-Nexus" because of Sony's involvement in AOSP.

So hopefully some clever devs will find a way soon.

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Cat McGowan:

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] joen_:
That's probably because Dashclock needs Android 4.2.2, and the stock Sony firmware is on 4.1 I believe

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] salanos:
Stock Sony XPERIA Launcher (I haven't tried the DoCoMo launcher), panels 1 to 5.

Panel 1 is at the extreme end for stuff I don't pay attention to so much, i.e. Socialife.

Panel 2 is a blank panel, so that I can just enjoy the wallpaper, or, well, when I want a blank panel.

Panel 3, central home panel, has the information I generally look for, plus the most commonly accessed shortcuts/a music player widget.

Panel 4, extended weather info only, with time.

Panel 5, full-size music player.

This sort of layout has been sort of traditional for me, and I use some variation of it on all my Android devices.

I use a combination of Minimalistic Text, Sony's stock widgets and Poweramp, while weather is provided by 1Weather's widget.

I'm not too fancy or anything though I suppose I ought to spend time properly doing something unusual and nice, given the XPERIA is hardly a usual tablet.

Wallpaper is via the Music Visualizer app, with a self-edited image for an idle wallpaper. It'll change to visualizer bars when sound plays above a certain volume threshold (i.e. the sound of system clicks doesn't trigger it).

I have PowerToggles on the system bar and Realtime Task Manager on the Small Apps shortcut. I'm honestly a fan of the single-system bar layout. I absolutely abhor the idea of having two on-screen bars consuming screen space.

I might replace the Socialife widgets with Flipboard's or something, because they constantly blank themselves needing a refresh, and sometimes it just seems that they're sluggish.

I love magancete's look, it's very unique!

[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Centuri0n:
Ok so maybe i missed the boat on this one... I spent a good portion of last night trying to figure out how you got your Navbar background/Button colour modified. Ended up going round in circles and finding a lot of snippets of information something along the lines of editing the System_bar_background and changing the hexadecimal colour coding which im guessing cant be that far off the mark as what you have given in the post is a hex code.

I've rooted and run customs roms on many of my previous droid phones and usually within the rom you could adjust this or it was already tweaked. Ive generally drew the line at editing system.ui files as you really need to know what you are doing before playing around in there.

So that brings me to my point. My XTZ is rooted but still running stock sony firmware. Is it possible to achieve the look you have on a stock rom or does it have to be custom?

if it is indeed possible on stock can you give me a quick step by step guide as to how you do it or point me in the direction of a guide you followed?

Cheers
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] r1ntse:
The easiest way to change your navbar colours is to just use a port of the Paranoid Android rom which has a feature called "hybrid properties" built in to do exactly that. There is one in the original android development section of the tablet z. As for the stock rom: I have not seen anyone do it before which makes me highly doubt its possible. (or just very hard). Custom roms are much more hipster anyway, who doesnt want to be a hipster?:p
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Centuri0n:
Haha I don't particularly want to be hipster as such but I would like to have a transparent navbar and maybe adjust the button colours. Funnily enough the ROM I run on my phone has the addition of hybrid properties but the only thing I used it for on my phone was to disable the navbar completely as my phone doesn't require it.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but all ROM mods require an unlocked boot loader before you can install them on the xtz?
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] zigulists:
Or other, much easier way is to upgrade to 4.2.2, then system bar will be transparent. Only drawback is phablet layout.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] r1ntse:
All roms that i have seen require your bootloader to be unlocked. So if your gonna install a custom rom, im afraid you'll have to do that.
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] Centuri0n:
I spent an entire day researching how to downgrade back to a .370 ftf straight after I "upgraded" to 4.2.2. So I won't be in any hurry to do that again anytime soon. :)

---------- Post added 27th September 2013 at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was 26th September 2013 at 11:55 PM ----------

So out of interest why is it most people on here don't really want to or have not unlocked their bootloader is there some issue I don't know about? Or is it just people are happy with root state and don't want to go any further?

The XTZ doesn't seem as popular in the dev world as say a Sammy device so are the current batch of ROMs still in their relative infancy and a bit buggy? I've only scanned through a few as I knew I would have to have my boot loader unlocked thus never paid much attention to them.

I don't really have any issue unlocking my boot loader personally but I don't want to install a buggy ROM where you maybe gain some gimmicks or tweaks that are fun for 5 minutes but then lose some core stock ROM features eg double tap to wake (I'm sure I saw that mentioned).

Tbh I had planned on eventually getting round to installing a custom ROM but was happy to wait it out until the current batch of rom devs had ironed out any teething problems.

Long story short in all honesty and this goes for everyone who has unlocked bootloaders and have played with custom ROMs on the xtz, is now the right time to jump in or is the water still a bit lukewarm currently?
[Xperia Tablet Z Themes and Apps] zigulists:
You see, Sony XPERIA Tablet Z is not the cheapest tablet out there, and with my previous experience, i really don`t want to lose my two year warranty for such high end device.

For my previous tablet, ASUS Transformer TF300T, i had 3 year warranty, and ASUS even provided tool, for unlocking bootloader and creating root access, but when you unlocked bootloader, ASUS automaticly recieved your device serial number, and stored it on their servers, and even if you afterwards closed bootloader, and created stock firmware, they knew, that this device was previously moded, and canceled warranty (not 100% sure about this, but that`s what i heard).

My phone, HTC One S, as you can see, is unlocked, rooted, hacked, moded, i have used it a lot of custom ROMs, alomost crashed ir and brought back to life multiple times. But my phone costs almost nothing compared to my tablet. I would love to use custom ROM with my Sony, but i really don`t want to risk with my hard earned money. And other thing, is there CFW for Tablet Z, which support IrDA blaster and floating applications?
