I went to bestbuy and they where really helpfull! An employee showed me his iPhone 5 with the zagg shield on it he had it on for 8 months!

But i didn't buy it because it was only for the tf700t and wasn't sure if they have the same screen! They gave me directions to a zagg stand in a shopping mall!

I'll check that out!

Also my Dad and i are noobish with these things! We always get damned bubbles! Is it easy to apply? Bestbuy also offered a service for aplying it but it was another 15$ above the 29.99$ pricetag of the shield!

Dude Amazon is your FRIEND. Had this on for over a year and it's still running strong without any scratches :) http://www.amazon.com/ArmorSuit-Mil...50576&sr=8-1&keywords=tf300t+screen+protector

BTW the installation is a bit different then most screen protectors, but it really is pretty easy and there aren't any bubbles after unless you are SUPER SUPER sloppy with it.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] Rammv:
Zagg is easy to apply. Bubbles come out easy. Just follow instructions use a good amount of the application fluid . It is more of a flexable protector than a hard plastic one like on a phone.
[HTC One X+] mikejasonsmith:
Hi all,

I just recently got my hands on a White One X plus so want to sell on my black one.

The problem is I have an O2 unit which has hboot 1.35 and as of yet dont believe there is an RUU out there.

I want to sell this on so what are my options as it is currently running the InsertCoin custom ROM?

Please keep in mind that I can flash custom roms but have no experience of doing anything else so if you have an idea, please tell me how to do it :D

Cheers everyone...I dont know what I would do without this site.
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
Unfortunately, no RUU for 1.35, as you said. Perhaps you could flash AOSP and sell it as a Google Edition HOX+? :)
[HTC One X+] mikejasonsmith:
Good idea!

Do you have a link to that ROM as I cant seem to find it?

Do I flash it like a normal custom rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajfunny:
Hi all,

I am using MX player to watch videos and it seems to lag with some MKV files. There is no lag on avi/mp4 files, and sometimes even some mkv's work. Recently though I am unable to play any MKVs without lag. I'm unsure if this is how the system works, but I am unable to use the HW/HW+ decoder on any MKV files.

Today I flashed a custom rom onto my galaxy tab 2 and tried overclocking, but I haven't noticed any difference. ( I may be doing something wrong). It seems that I have the same issue with other players too.

If someone could help me out, that would be great. I'm not sure if I need a settings change, new player, different overclock values, etc. Hopefully it's possible to watch my MKV files :confused:

Edit: If someone could also suggest if there is a certain rom that helps too I'd appreciate it.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SithBoxer:
The current unlock method for TMO P769 is so convoluted and it seems rather risky... Risky and destructive enough, I will probably not bother. How likely do you think a decent/proper unlock method will be found before the end of the year? I really dislike the stock UI and limited theming options/etc, came from PACMan on my previous phone and this is rather disappointing for a phone with such solid hardware.

Its looking pretty unlikely and I think I might just sell this phone and go back to Samsung where they tell the carrier where to shove it when they ask for a locked bootloader. Shame on LG for complying with this... Sure, they aren't Apple or Samsung but I think they could have pulled it off. At the very least they could have snuck some hidden method like HTC with the wire trick for S-OFF into the US version.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] RicAndroid:
I love the easy root method, myself. Thanks to that, I was able to pull the system/app and framework to deodex and zipalign.

starting with stockTmobile P769, V20d

rooted with LGPwn method.

Now have rooted P769 V20f...

Installed and flashed CWM 6.0 recovery

installed busybox latest from google Play

Installed L9 recovery 1.5

installed and flashed TWRP 2.6

all installed succesfully.?

Booting consistently from CWM or TWRP app causes dead android..reboots fine into normal mode...

Now have same rooted Tmobile p769...what if...

Just for giggles I pulled battery and tried reboot from cold...

LED'S flashed...I remembered TWRP post that says to hold down vol button when flashing...

CWM recovery loads straight up!!!

did a full .tar backup to external SD..

Now looking for roms...

So,

After trolling forums and sampling a few "unlock" methods, I managed to brick, and un-brick, flash v20f KDZ back to stock, re-root, re-flash CWM recovery, strip bloatware, and re-install all my apps.

I am now back at the 9am rope(for your disneyland fans), with rooted, locked and fully tweaked v20f P769, keeping an eye out for a real BLunlocker method for T-Mobile P769.

Somehow knowing LG/Tmobile, the 4.2 (v20g?) and impending 4.3 updates will remain BL locked. 4.2 and 4.3 are "smaller footprint" updates to JB and may not impact our phones much at all...

The BL locked issue is just simply a money saver for T-Mobile trying to limit costs for end user support, call center traffic and hardware returns. It has nothing to do with them being evil and spoiling our fun. They don't care. Lots of XDA users are as smart or smarter than LG techs and use their equipment to fullest potential.

http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-optimus-f3.html

I am pretty sure LG is replacing this phone with the F3 and the F6 .... so I sold my L9 before it becomes worth a hell of a lot less. I have a feeling LG is probably going to screw P769 owners over (this isn't my first LG phone), we probably won't be getting further updates at the very least.

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5025&idPhone2=5509

The F3 is officially being sold at the exact price point as the L9 is/was and the F6 is probably only going to be slightly more. The F3/F6 was announced alongside the G2 on the 7th. They both have a dual core 1.2ghz, a much better GPU, LTE, and a bigger 2460mAh battery. Same amount of storage, ram, and almost identical body style/design. The only things the F3 really lags behind the L9 on are potentially worse battery life, a slightly smaller screen (4 inches) and pixel density, and its a little heavier. It looks like the F6 will have the exact same screen as the L9 with identical specs as the F3 outside of a better front facing camera (1.3MP vs VGA).

It is very likely when the F6 and the G2 finally become available, LG will be moving the F3 to a 200$ price point and the F6 will replace the L9 at 240$. The bootloader will probably be just as locked and rom unfriendly. I still can't believe the G2 is shipping without a microSD slot either.

There is that phone too, which I was aware of being released in Europe not that long after I bought my L9. Interesting they are actually releasing that in the US as well, I honestly thought with the F3/F6 they would just keep that a european SKU.

Keep in mind, I am not saying the L9 is a bad phone, LG has been making some good phones lately, they just have a habit of dropping support once something shinier comes out that they earn more revenue off of. Which is what I see happening here. LG is no Samsung, only time will tell if their Nexus experience has change the company for the better, and I am not willing to risk it.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] psychoace:
They dropped support of the g2x because nividia dropped support of tegra 2. Lg couldn't measure anymore upgrades because of it. That is why any phone based on the tegra 2 does not have a fully working ROM past gingerbread right now
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Meda808:
So support being dropped means LG doesn't provide android upgrades? i'm just trying to figure out what you guys mean by 'support'. Also how long should they support a model? I can't believe Motorola has a habit of dropping support.. my Razr v3m hasn't been updated in years. I hate motorola. motorola is a terrible company.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SithBoxer:
Yes, I believe we are all talking about OS upgrades. The L9 is a very capable phone that should be able to run 4.3 (and possibly 5) without any issue if LG actually bothered updating things past a single iteration or two. Its not hard to find examples of this, look up a number of their phones and see how many updates they got. Like I was saying earlier after the Nexus 4, I hope LG has realized the value of updating older devices, and has changed for the better, but I am not going to bet on it. There's also the fact that LG locked the bootloader on this phone, and then claimed that TMobile requested it... while that's possible, I find it pretty unlikely as most phones on TMobile have no locked bootloader, except on the phones that often lock the bootloader anyways, such as HTC, Sony and sometimes LG.

Ultimately, I am a modder, and I don't like running stock roms period if I can help it, the writing is on the wall (to me) that this phone isn't going to get a big dev community, and the chances are looking bleaker with all these new phones LG is releasing in the same 'market' as the L9. I am hoping I am proven wrong, and somebody finds an exploit that's easier and more user-friendly than the current method, but that is just how I feel.

[MENTION=4344625]Meda808[/MENTION] Motorola WAS a terrible company, they had some good designs though.... Google has been cleaning house (not sure if you realized they own Motorola Mobility now), and if the X Phone is any sign, times are a changing at Motorola.
