Had 1 on 6 months ago since it was included/installed when I purchased, along with a rubber case.

But after testing out another GN without it, it just felt so much smoother, so took it off, but keep the case, which helps keep a grip from slips/drops
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palco2:
I use protector from 1 year ago and I dont have problems using touch and everything is smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Still use mine. No problems here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] past_pluto:
I recently removed mine and it feels amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
Yeah, no protection definitely feels amazing ... But I still use it every time.

Same goes for my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vekhez:
I have a matte screen protector on my phone, besides the 5mm gap at the bottom of the protector (bottom of LED down) not being covered it's great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lagendbun:
i like screen protector,,,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tw3ek:
no, my phone is just an object of utility.. but I have to admit that I have to use a case, otherwise my display would have been broked few times by now :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lagendbun:
ask your self...

Your Phone Really Need A Screen Protector?

You bought an expensive smartphone, and you don’t want it to get scratched up in your purse or pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sui785:
I never used any screenprotectors on my phones(these are the phones which I've had: HTC Desire Z, ZTE Skate, LG Optimus 2x, LG Optimus 4X, Galaxy Nexus) and on none of the phones have I ever used any kind of screenprotector. The only thing that I have used on ALL of them is a bumper case. I put my keys in my other pockets so the screen stays intact. Most pants have soft pockets so it can't really get scratched by that.

Same goes for tablets(Surface RT & iPad Retina), both only in a flipcase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wsw-wyatt-earp:
I think it's a personal decision. I got my gnex used over a year ago, closer to 2 now. I gave up on a protector long before I got my gnex, I am pretty careful with my stuff so I'm not worried. I have noticed a scratch across the top but it's something I use every day.

I just picked up the galaxy Note 8.0 and it doesn't have a protector either. Most of us here don't keep a phone long enough for it to get scratched anyways.

Just ask yourself how you treat your stuff. The unforseen accident will happen here and there, can happen with the protector as well. Up to you if it's worth putting the protector on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I always put a SP on. A good matte sp feels so good and cuts down on greasy fingerprints. The texture feels like smooth paper and just is wonderful. Its preferred for game players because it doesn't start getting sticky after a prolonged gaming session.

Plus I really take care of my stuff. I sell devices after 2 years and they look brand new. I keep the packages and contents wrapped up, never opened. I use a case and SP. Helps get top dollar for my stuff that helps for buying new stuff.

So preference and saftey for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inmyorder:
Currently I still use a screen protector but with no case. I agree that now the screen is good enough for anti-scratch. But you still never know if the screen will last long for heavy daily use;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marti_ns:
I use protector and bumper. I've change protector in 2 months becose it's all in scratch.

Same here:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baletka:
I always buy a pack of cheap SP from ebay, not only they protect the screen from scratches (those that claim they don't have any scratches after a year of usage are probably really protective or aren't looking at screen good enough), it also eliminates any need for cleaning screen. If it gets dirty for any reason, just change the screen protector - quality ones can be bought on ebay for something like 20 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
Damn, you wrote us an essay about screen protectors haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rohanhole:
Actually a big no. No need of any screen protector. Its going good. Bumper is must i say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 231658:
I dont use it:d
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
I use screen protectors on all my phones, granted they are not the cheap ones that get scratched up from touching anything harder than a pencil tip. I just throw one on and it'll easily last the time that I'll be using the phone with no apparent scratch marks. Most of the time I won't even notice the protector being on it. SGP FTW!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl09:
At the beginning, i used screen protector. But the phone is getting old. The screen protector was dirty and I removed it six months ago. So far, the screen is still good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jerome168:
The best screen protector that I used is the Martin Fields Overlay Plus Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

This protection can be removed and put back to remove all the bubbles easily. Furthermore, it's very resistant in claws. It has been one year since I have it on my Nexus.

On the other hand, it's a little expensive (£ 13.99 / € 15.99), but it's a good investment !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Canine363:
Never needed one on my GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frezi Evan:
Anyone have screen protector for my old nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jibralee:
Go for screen protector, I've been using screen protector for so long. I've drop my phone (waist level) but my screen doesn't shutter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phosphorescent:
I've tried to use a anti reflex screen protector, but wasn't able to install it correctly... It simply didn't fit and was such a pain to install. :D

So I live without it with no problems so far... Only a case is a must-have for me...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xg33kx:
I got a GadgetGuard with my phone, but the case (cheap red plastic/rubber case from the Verizon store) kept pusing up the edges, so I took it off. There's the tiniest nick or 2 in the glass, but besides that, it's held up (knock on wood) better than my droid Incredible with Gorilla Glass did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
I've been using a screen protector for a lot of time, never had a problem with it after trimming it down a little bit so that my cover wouldn't push up the edges. After several months, some dirt got underneath the plastic and I decided to take it away even if it still worked fine. Art the end of the day, I think it's a bit paranoid to mount it... understandable when the phone is brand new, but now it's not anymore, so I'm free :D

After gorilla glass i don`t think there is a need for screen protector

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

After gorilla glass, there is no need for any screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] past_pluto:
No point. Yes you'll get small scratches but nothing that will be noticeable once the screen is lit. Now going without a case is big risk. I dropped my phone twice and now I have a hunk of glass missing and four cracks in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sddfdds:
I had a zagg screen protector for a while, the second i took it off i ended up getting scratches on the screen (which granted was ultimately my fault but still)...also I dropped my phone and cracked the screen once (an older one I since replaced) and the screen protector actually like pulled the crack together so it wasnt noticeable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kostaszx:
definitely a yes. been using screen protectors for 3 years and i couldnt be more thankful to my friend for suggesting that i did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virgilio999:
I never use a screen protector.

The devicew is dropped me many times but the screen is always saved.

You must be careful when put it into pockets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandawong:
Due to the curved screen, it's hard to get a good fit screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vortex-5:
Using screen protector since it allows you to clean it with whatever you have around.

It's a form of freedom not having to baby it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davispuh:
I don't use any screen protector, just be very careful and gentle with your phone and there won't be any problems!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lgdede:
I think it is not necessary now generally smart phone's screen is very strong, not prone to scratches!

Hello,

I've installed the M2 then r140 on my Nexus 4 in 4.2.2 and have since frequent USB modem drop that I never had before with the official and rooted versions.

I've had this without modifying kernel parameters.

Any hint ?

Thanks,

Emmanuel
[General Questions and Answers] espierre:
On a second though, it looks like it is an USB issue:

- when I plug the USB, charging goes on but I need to deconnect/reconnect the plug so the USB be recognized to use it as a modem

- when my PDP changes (IP renewal), there is no deconnexion

Thus I guess this is an USB issue, any idea ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] macraze:
I was emailing myself about 8 pictures last night and managed to somehow brick my phone. I created the gmail message to myself with 8 photos attached. I pressed send, then launched the camera to snap a photo of something else. As soon as I took the photo, the phone said, "the application gmail process com.google.android.gm has stopped." I pressed okay then relaunched the gmail app to see if my message send.

This is when things got weird. The gmail app opened to an empty window. The window looked like the gmail app, just with no text or icons anywhere. Then whole phone became unresponsive. I could not pull down the status bar or go to the home screen. Since my power button is broken, I pulled the battery to reboot. When I put it back in, all I got was a solid blue light.

I did some research, but it seems everyone else gets the blue light of death from doing something stupid like pulling the battery midflash. I did try some of the suggestions I found, such as using a fresh battery or holding the volume button when the phone turns on. Nothing worked.

I was running the stock rom, probably GB27 or whatever was released in early march. If it makes a difference, I was running a stock rooted rom for a bit. Early last month, I needed to take the phone into sprint so I unrooted the phone and did an ota update. It ran fine like this until today.

What are my options to revive my galaxy, and how the hell did gmail brick my phone?

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hlxanthus:
I would imagine that something was updating in the background, perhaps one of google hidden services and conflicted with your email. I would try using the one clicks to flash in the whole package again myself (maybe a bit drastic, but you can try one of the no data wipe versions if you like).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Are you able to get into Odin mode? I'm curious as to how you turn your phone on after battery pull without a power button? I'm not being smart, just sincerely curious. If you can't get into Odin mode, you can't do a one click. If you can't get anything to come on, I would suggest trying a dongle jig to get you into Odin mode so you can flash a one click and bring your phone back to life. They are like 4 bucks on Amazon. Google dongle jig sph-d710 epic 4g touch. Simply plugging it in will bring up Odin(if you're not completely bricked, which I don't believe you are) no power button needed. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I've seen a blue light brick first hand and if I remember right the light does turn on with a battery in the phone. It's been a year now so I'm not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tanminivan:
This sounds similar to my issue here and another post here, neither of which appear to have any resolution yet. :( What is bricking our phones?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] macraze:
I can turn it on without the power button by simply inserting the battery. It automatically boots up when the battery is inserted.

The device is completely bricked. I can not get into Odin or recovery mode. When I insert the battery I get a solid blue light for about 5 seconds. Then it shuts off for 1 second and comes back on again. Holding volume down while it is powering up does nothing.

Thanks for the dongle suggestion, I will check it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
if it remains solid blue after that single flash then something triggered the brick bug. the usb jig is very unlikely to boot to odin for you. however should you buy one or make one please update good or bad. thats a hell of a weird brick though.

sent from my bad a$$ note 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If the blue light is blinking on and off you need to try a fully charged battery or charging it in an external charger or 2nd device. The battery is below the minimum voltage threshold. If it's bricked the light stays on and doesn't turn off at all

It only blinks once, and I have tried a full battery. I have two extra anker batteries and an external charger. It doesn't seem to help :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Check for corrosion near the charger port on the logic board. The voltage regulator may have corrosion on it or cracked solder. The typical super brick lights up blue and stays lit up. Usually the pulse is an indication of incorrect voltage at the voltage regulator/charging circuit. Also check the connector pins in the battery bay to see if any are bent, broken, dirty or corroded.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] macraze:
Okay, I'll take the back casing off and have a look inside. I will report back soon. Thanks!

Edit: I checked the batteries with my multimeter. One read 4.2v. The others read about 3.7v. There is not much corrosion on the battery contacts. I have yet to find the regulator circuit on the board.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That 4.2 is way too high. It probably fried something on the mobo. The voltage should never peak above 3.8. I am betting that the one that reads 4.2 is the battery that was in the phone at the time. Too much voltage=broke device. So it is likely that the voltage regulator could not handle the higher volts and it fried.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] macraze:
Thank you very much for your response. I do not think it is the issue, however. Both of their batteries read 4.2 when full. I always charge them on the provided wall charger. The batteries say on the back not to charge above 4.2V. When charging batteries, you always charge with a voltage slightly higher than what is expected of the battery. (e.g. 12V car batteries charge at aprox. 14.4V). I do not think 500mV would fry a voltage regulator. I know the LM7805's are good for up to 35V on the input lead. Furthermore, this is the voltage with no load. It should be slightly less when the device is running.

However, I could be wrong. Perhaps the phone does have an extremely sensitive power management circuit. I will research this further and email Anker when I get the chance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
4.2 is a full charge... precisely 4255mV or 4.2V is a full charge ans 3421mV or 3.4V is a dead battery.
