[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
This depends on usage case. Yes, this screen made to give you optimal experience when viewing head on. Its not an issue in everyday use, as most people automatically hold phone with screen straight facing them.

Probably its true that glancing on phone lying on table could be made difficult. However, in real life situation, phone will be actually switched off, so you will have to pick it up at least to wake up. You glancing at notification LED when phone lying on table, not on screen.

With dock you will have to turn it towards you. I had no problems in doing so.

It could be better to give phone to other person if you want to show photos to them, so they properly hold id, instead of trying to approximately turning it to them, true.

However, these complaints miss two essential points. First, it makes it a lot more difficult for random bystanders to peek on your screen. I like that. Also, non-IPS screens are more power efficient (due to no need to use dual transistor per pixel for IPS).

This is not entirely correct. And what is "feels like glass" anyway? Untreated glass feel is not something you want, trust me. As for comparison with, for example, oleophobic-treated SGS2, it feels about the same, pretty slippery and responsive. Can't comment about "attracting lint" as all my phones I had attracted lint when in pocket.

And you can remove it. Yes, you most likely won't like the untreated glass, because it will be less slippery and will collect fingerprints more. But what the issue? You just apply your own screen protector, one that you actually like.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ymmp:
Thanks for all the responses!

As for having to pick up the phone to wake it etc. so looking at an angle wouldn't come up often. Three real world cases that come to mind are 1) I'm running a task (ex: a timer) with screen left on while I'm working on my pc. 2) Phone is charging and I want to glance at screen from an angle to see time or weather. 3) An sms just came in and turned on the screen and I want to glance at it from a side angle while it's on my desk.

As for the screen protector, I actually just watched a youtube video of someone taking it off and it looks pretty doable. I am litle confused though. I currently have an HTC One S and I don't use a screen protector, in fact I never have. The one time I tried it, I found that it took away something from the clarity of the screen, especially after being on for a while. My current screen is smooth (maybe my HD2 was smoother?) is it a Sony thing to not have a smooth "raw" screen, or do screen protectors normally improve the tactile feel?

In any case, I'm rarely in Manhattan, but I'll be there tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to make some time to get to a Sony store and see the ZL in person.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
Its not very good to use as desk clock. Or at least you need to keep it facing you, or you must use very high contrast clock image.

I wouldn't use my phone as half-grand desk clock anyway, since running backlight continuously shortens its life span (blue LED practically eternal, but phosphor used to make it white does wear out, over time making white more "blueish" than it should).

Some phone screens made to use "naked" (screen protector is optional extra). Their screens are not just raw glass, its specially treated to decrease reflectivity and friction.

Modern Sony phones made to be used with screen protectors, there is no special treatment applied to glass panel, hence you pretty much must to put some extra layer on top of it for optimal experience.
[Sony Xperia ZL] mahmoud.kunbaz:
Guys, anyone has other answers for the question 2

I am so annoyed with my screen protector

I am using the original one "it was in the ZL box"

it collects finger print and it also has to be cleaned 2 or 3 time a day :( :( :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
The only way you can fight fingerprints is by using anti-glare (matte finish) protector. Or just ignore them.

Every smooth protector or screen I've seen, attracted fingerprints a lot. Oleophobic coating does not help much for prevention, it only helps in wiping them out.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emp111:
Hi Dev's/fOmey,

firstly I'd like to say thank you to ALL developers/ROM chefs/Kernel makers for feeding my addiction.

I'd like to especially single out fOmey for building the Null_ ROM's,

I have used them on my S3 for some time now after trying a lot of other ROM's and as a VERY fussy user in his 30's ( I'm so old :'-( ) your ROM is the only one that so far and with a bit of tweaking has come sooooooooo close to ridding me of my ROM addiction/affliction by being soooo close to perfect for me.

The horrible irony is that I can't help myself when it comes to shiny new gadgets so less that a week after spending months (I **** you not) getting my S3 how I wanted it, those nasty men at Samsung dangle the S4 in front of me........bastards! :mad:

I can't resist, I have to have it, so I now am the proud (and slightly ashamed) owner of the I9505 (and an S3) and I can't carry them both around with me without revealing to everyone what a hopeless hardware loving nerd I actually am. :p

Now for the begging part, please please please PLEASE tell me that someone's going to work on a I9505 ROM that has the features included in Null_ ROM! :fingers-crossed:

You see ....... I'm not well. I need to have the following to allow me to be the ultimate nerd!

In no particular order this is what I need to work in order for my head not to explode :o

Ext2-4 SD card support

So I can symlink the folders I need to my SD which in turn I can encrypt and cloud sync.

IR remote control app

So I can use my phone to control the TV, HiFI, DVD and THE WORLD! (last one's optional)

Underclocking

So I can get the best battery life possible.

Virtual CD emulation

So I can use DriveDroid to boot my fully encrypted PC's using Trucrypt rescue disks instead of the unprotected standard bootloader.

Virtual Keboard/mouse emulation

So I can use my phone as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Lockscreen Torch via home button

Because I am scared of the dark!

Call Recording

So I can use Total Recall to automatically record my calls!

Sound Mod

Like the ACID Mod so I can effectively block out the world :D

Visual customisation

Like the JKay framework

Transparent Multiwindow

Because duh !?!!

Per app DPI

See above

Can I please have all of this like yesterday so I can make a real effort to never look at another article showing the latest and greatest phones.

If not is there a support group I can join for other afflicted souls like me :cyclops: !?!?!

HELP!

Thank you for the idea Gordon.

I've had a quick look at this b4, unfortunately it requires a "server" program to be installed on the host machine.........that's the worst I can say about it though as it works rather well other than that.

Ideally I was looking for phone to be recognised as a keyboard and mouse over either a bluetooth connection or even a cable that would work OTG style.

FedEx brought my s4 this morning, 9.6gb of free space on the phone. One this I have noticed is that even when connected to wifi, the 4g symbol is present in the status bar. I called samsung about this, and the guy didn't have any material available on the phone since it doesn't "come out until 5/23" But he did say he had a t-mobile s4 and when wifi was on, both icons were not present. Hopefully there is a hot fix for this issue.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] droid_<3er:
Hey guys,

I know how much noob questions piss everyone off, but I'm really confused after reading the threads about FreeGee, root, JB OTA and N4 conversion. I'm probably getting an AT&T Optimus G in a few weeks, so I need to get this stuff understood. So please, bear with me.

1. Should I update to the JB OTA? That is, if the phone has never been past official LG 4.0.4?

2. What are EFS partitions? I read the thread about how to make backups of them; does this complicate making nandroid backups on the LGOG?

3. How does one use LGNPST? Do I use this instead of normal update method when updating to JB OTA?

4. Is FreeGee revesible? Or is your phone permanently unlocked after using FreeGee?

5. Are there any ROMs that are JB, but can be flashed without updating to official 4.1.2 or unlocking with FreeGee?

Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SoupySauce:
1. Should I update to the JB OTA? That is, if the phone has never been past official LG 4.0.4?

No longer have to update to JB OTA. You can just LGNPST the TeenyBin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230994

This is what I did an hour or two right after I got my LGOG lol. Day of.

2. What are EFS partitions? I read the thread about how to make backups of them; does this complicate making nandroid backups on the LGOG?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2278873

This is the main use of EFS partitions. People lose GPS from certain roms and backing up a working EFS helps. Nandroid backups are kind of like system restore points in terms of PC. You make a back up, do some new stuff and if it doesn't work, just restore the nandroid backup. Backing up the EFS is just so you don't have to back up the entire thing.

3. How does one use LGNPST? Do I use this instead of normal update method when updating to JB OTA?

Refer to the TeenyBin link I gave above. It has an LGNPST tutorial. It's similar to Odin if you've used a Samsung before.

4. Is FreeGee revesible? Or is your phone permanently unlocked after using FreeGee?

Yep. Basically the freegee app has like two buttons, Unlock and Restore lol. Unlock unlocks the bootloader, and Restore restores it. It's pretty simple, I love it.

5. Are there any ROMs that are JB, but can be flashed without updating to official 4.1.2 or unlocking with FreeGee?

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms so you need to be unlocked with FreeGee regardless. As far as having to deal without updating to official, you really just need to LGNPST the TeenyBin and you can flash any of the roms in the Original or Android Development forums.

Cheers.

Your order of business on your phone should be Root, Unlock, TeenyBin, flash whatever rom you feel. Constantly make backups when you know your phone is in perfect working condition before moving on to the next big step.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Just to add to the above post, teenybin unlocks boot loader and installs twrp recovery. No need to root and unlock beforehand. Also relocking a non stock ROM with FreeGee may cause security error soft brick.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] droid_<3er:
Thanks for the quick replies. No offense to my other forummates from the Desire and Defy forums, but I can actually understand everything in the ATT LGOG forum because there aren't any people from Europe and Asia who have to use Google translate.

So just to clarify, I don't actually need to use Freegee, correct? Using the teenybins with LGNPST can unlock my bootloader and solve bootlooping problems, right?

I don't think I'll convert to N4 because there aren't any worthy ROMs for N4 in my opinion (purely my opinion, but there are not even any efforts to get Sense 4+ or 5 going) and CM10.1 which was originally for N4-converted LGOGs has another version for LGOG. It looks like the conversion is hard to reverse anyways...

Once again, thanks guys.

EDIT: oh yeah and one more thing. Can someone grab me a latest version of LGNPST? Apparently 1.3 is really old.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WarEagleUS:
Yes exactly right. I came from Samsung (SGS2) and you know how easy stuff is there to the OG Triple OG and haven't really missed a beat. I used FreeGee myself but that's because I didn't find out about teenybin until a couple days ago.

Anyways you're good to go with what you've been told. Wham bam thank you ma'am.:thumbup:

I'm not sure where to get LGNPST from. Assuming a Google search would probably tell me. In all honesty there's really no need to mess with converting the LGOG to N4.

hey guys!! facing a weird problem here.. a few days back I saw the call record option on Z forum & I thought I'll give it a shot on my ZL. My phone is rooted with a locked bootloader & CWM installed. While replacing the files for call record function, as soon as I pasted it in the system folders, my phone hit a reboot. I then tried the zip file instead in CWM but it reboot ed again halfway while booting... I thought maybe the feature isn't compatible and that's why it would be rebooting like this.. But now I realise that I try to update anything then the phone behaves the same. As soon as I give RW permission to ES file explorer it reboots. The worst of all, I was trying to install the .253 OTA update & even that couldn't install and I guess it's for the same reason.. Also whenever my phone boots up, it shows the that the phone is updating.. I need to rectify this.. any inputs guys? please help!!
