uhh....

You know replacing the glass on a phone is like a 20$ repair at most if you do it yourself.

Most non touch screens are like a few $$. Double sided tape = 1.50$. Small screw driver and a hair dryer and that's all you need.

Touch built into the screen is like 15$.

Ie: nexus 4 screen: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Nexus-Dig...4&sr=8-22&keywords=nexus+4+screen+replacement

It's not rocket science. The problem with any screen protector (even the glass ones) and i'm just theorizing, is that if you drop the device and it falls on the side (bezel) it will break the glass and probably leave your screen protector untouched.

Except I said nexus 4 not what you linked too. The glass and broken digitizer was $120+ alone. I ended up paying $50 more to have it installed professionally, and with a warranty.

Vs the time I ordered a replacement screen for my girlfriends phone and it showed up DOA. We know it was DOA because we got another screen and it worked. Of course we were not able to return the other screen since we bought it online the company just dismissed us.

Not worth the hassle of dealing with unknown quality and being out the price of a bad screen to save $50. In the end it cost me a lot more than that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] hypergreatthing:
I posted the wrong link: http://www.amazon.com/Front-Screen-...36&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+4+screen+replacement

That's for the glass that shatters. I guess it's possible that the LCD screen broke too, but the glass on the outside is separate from the actual screen. If the screen still works but the glass is shattered, there's no reason to get a completely new LCD screen as well. You're correct in saying that those are expensive, like 100$+. There really isn't a professional install, anyone can do it.

I'm not trying to derail or argue. Screen protectors are great, for protecting against scratches and nicks. But against breaks and shatters? I'd say YMMV. I don't believe they're designed for that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] darkrom:
Yeah in my case the screen was unresponsive because the digitizer broke too not just the glass screen. I spent $50 or so extra for that warranty after getting a bum product. Anyone can do it, but if you get a bad screen online good luck proving that it wasn't user error while installing, and then you won't get your money back.

All I know is that the tempered glass screen protector shattered a few days ago and my phone was in mint condition. Last time the phone fell screen down it shattered everywhere. I'd rather pay the $25 for tempered glass (which felt awesome and responsive without any issues) than gamble on needing to replace another digitizer.

Yeah the amazon i-blason or whatever it is just got returned. Not the quality i've become accustomed to from companies like spigen or mime. Major imperfections. Absolutely no dust and perfect placement first time. Tried to lift and re apply but the area where lifted wont stay down now and imperfections still there in same place..

Anyone find anything better? besides the $60 Bodygardz listed above? Havent used any Brando products. I have square trade with no deductible so i'd rather replace it if it broke than pay $60 for a protector. $30 and i'll take one :) Maybe i'll try the Brando
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] naturecannon:
I have a mine Feather glass for my htcone and love it. Since Mime is not avail for the N7, I went with a ghost armor SP at 50% off Cyber Monday ($7.50) to get me by temporarily until/if mime releases one for the N7. For a cheap temporary SP. Ghost armor is ok, better and cheaper than the horrid zagg, No rubbery feel nor the rainbow-ish look. BUT the Ghost armor sp is a huge finger print magnet, to the point of annoying. I actually went and washed my hands once because the fingerprints were so bad, thought I had nasty dirty fingers, nope, just the characteristics of this SP I guess.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] datallboy:
Anyone know how the Tech Armor AntiFingerprint and AntiGlare works on this? My brother had one similar for his iPod, and it really worked. Anti Fingerprint really helps, especially how dirty the screen can get.

Has anyone got any experience with the i-Blason tempered glass screen protector? It costs less than £10 on Amazon UK. I'm considering buying one as I love the tempered glass screen protector on my Nexus 5, don't think I could go back to normal protectors now.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kingston73:
Somebody posted literally 2 posts above yours about this....

I just ordered an iloome flex, will post back when it gets here. It gets better reviews than the ibaison. Might buy a Brandon for the ipad mini so I can compare the two.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kingston73:
EDIT: I got it in the mail yesterday and it went on pretty easily. It fits VERY tightly, as in it's edge to edge so placement is critical. Mine was off just a very small bit and the screen wouldn't sit flat so I had to pull it up and reapply it. It's perfectly clear, you cannot tell it's there at all. The only issue I have with it is it is NOT finger-print proof, but I'd guess most glass protectors are going to be about the same. Definitely worth the money, but I can't help but wonder if the Brando might be better. I might end up buying a brando for my wife's ipad mini, if I do i"ll compare the two.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Leong428:
I have tried the Brando and iLoome which arrived today. The iLoome does fit a lot better but it's still pretty **** compared to the glass protectors with a TRUE oleophobic coating that i have on my Nexus 5.

The iLoome claims to have an oleophobic coating but it catches fingerprints just as easily as the ordinary plastic ones. I would still recommend the iLoome for the fit, but if you're after that smooth glass feeling, both will disappoint
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kingston73:
What exactly do you mean as far as fit? I have the iloome and I'm starting to get annoyed at how smudged it is. My wife iPad mime stays clean and also feels smoother, wish they made one for the nexus. How effective is the Brando as far as fingerprints?

Any of you use the bodygaurdz tempered glass? Its expensive but wonder if its worth it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Leong428:
The screen protector fits nice and flush on my device, right up to the edge of the bezel. I also like how it doesn't have (unnecessary) cut outs for the camera and proximity sensor so the front face of my device is just flush as if I did not have a protector on.

On the negative side, I'm facing the exact same issues as you, this thing catches fingerprints just as badly as the cheap plastic ones. I've also noticed some light scratches on the protector! I previously had a cheap plastic one one for more than 3 months and that did not get scratched.

The Brando was equally bad with fingerprints, and in my opinion wasn't as clear as this one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reznor7:
For those of you using a screen protector, do you also keep it in a case? I've had mine for months in a case but never considered getting a screen protector. Not sure I need it actually. . .
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kingston73:
I just ordered one of these, I'll post back when I get it. Hopefully it's better than the iloome.

I ordered the i-blason one. Will be here tomorrow, Thursday, so I'll let y'all know how it goes. If I don't like this I'll buy the Spigen one butt of it's the same price as the one from bodyguardz I'll end up buying that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bigballa:
I-Blason Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Amazon Link $19.99

I bought this protector and applied it today and so I'm very pleased with it. It isn't the same quality as BodyGuardz Pure Glass $59.95 but it does the job well enough to throw away that horrible Invisible Shield Zagg $24.99. The Zagg was great and all but the smoothness of a tempered glass screen protector is another story. The only thing BodyGuardz includes is a little rubber sponge to hold the protector instead of having to hold all the corners yourself.

When I opened the package I was mildly impress. The packaging is the same quality as any Spigen tempered glass packaging and includes the basics; a cloth, alcoholic wipe, and the glass screen.

The glass screen is decent. But it doesn't apply perfectly no matter how much I try the bubbles just happen. The Amazon page even says with minimal bubbles haha :confused:

The protector is also the BENDIEST glass screen I've ever held! The pictures show just how much pressure you can apply before it may crack. Higher quality ones don't bend that much. Overall I'm very happy and we'll see how this one holds us. I still have the Zagg Shield on the back of the Nexus and don't plan on using any cases soon. I like tablet sleeves and I'm going to keep it that way. If I have any followup things I'll be sure to post them here or somewhere.

I just got my glass M and it's great. Compared to the iloome flex the glassm is smoother and WAY less finger prints. Easily worth the price. Also fairly quick shipping. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the info. Ordered one for around 32 AUD and got it after one week. Applied in the bedroom full of dust but turned out perfectly, no bubbles, compared to Nilkin glass on my Nexus 5, it is much easier to apply the glass, the cost however is double. The feeling on both for me is no different.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Cyber Warrior:
Anyone with the iLoome having screen sensitivity issues? After installing a few days ago I'm noticing my screen sometimes doesn't recognize touches. I'm not sure if it's the device or the protector because this is my second Nexus 7 and I just received it a few days ago so haven't had too much time to play with it.. but from what I remember, it wasn't having any issues before the protector went on. Only way to know for sure would be to take it off but I rather not do that yet and waste $30.

And yes the iLoome does not have that premium glass feel like Spigen.. it's more like a plastic film, not flimsy.. it still is definitely harder and provides better protection compared to a regular screen protector.. For what was available and the price, I guess I can't complain.. except for this sensitivity issue I may or may not be having.

Anyone else?

Is there any (easy) way to transfer app data from a rooted HTC Desire to an unrooted HTC One?

Use app called Helium, as it also works for non-rooted devices

Backup your data from your Desire to PC, then use the same app to transfer data from PC to One. I've not used it myself, but should work. Read the developer page / thread for more info, I'm sure it's possible.

Hey, before im starting to think about rooting my s4, i have some questions:

1: is it just as "easy"/hard to root and inject a custom rom as it where 2 years ago?

2: If the phone is rooted, is there a simple safe way to unroot the phone to be able to update the phone if some performance improvements are available?

3: If i want to load a custom ROM either the rom with a clean android or a cyanogen one, and later want to revert back to stock s4 rom like the stock i got now, is that easy to do?

4: If i end up bricking the phone, is there an easy way to un-brick it or "restore" it to it's original state like iphone and it's itunes restore function?

5: When my phone is rooted, can i take backup of the full samsung's touchwiz and android state in case something goes wrong and then restore the backup?

6: If i unroot the phone, can i still update the phone's touchwiz thingy?

7: If there is no way to take backup of my stock rom, can i then easily fetch the exact same rom i use now from a website to flash it back?

sorry for so many questions, but i need answers since my 2 previous rooting attempts on htc and lg phones failed and got bricked.

Yeah I flashed a few stock roms on it without Odin, using twrp and infamous wipe/superwipe and without infamous. Although when I did it without the infamous zips about 20% of the time on reboot it would hang on start up which was fine I just reboot and it was good to go. Noticed it hasn't done it since I reflashed with infamous though.

Lte did work just no hspa which is all I get in my town. So I put the stock uvmc6 radio in since 4g sits around 2-7mbs over here and that's more than enough.

Is it possible to connect an XDAII t a digital camera to allow me to download images on the move? Or how about connecting to any PC using a USB cable to transfer files, images, etc? I read somewhere theat the XDAII chipset doesn't support this type of connection, is this correct?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] theholysaint:
No, it's not possible. For any PDA (and our xda, too) the chipset is configured as a slave usb which doesn't allow you to use "normal" usb functions. thats also the reason because activesync exists.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
You have a digital camera already in your xda 2, you can transfer files to any pc as long as activesync is installed, just click explore and you can drag and drop. Alernatively you can use a card reader, this will plug into any usb enable pc and allow transferring of files both ways.

some things are possible...

With the software WM5torage you can hook up your Hima or any other HTC device to any PC with no Activesync installed and it behaves like any other mass storage device. So if your camera has SD cards you can easily transfer pictures.

If you still use WM2003 on your Hima you can use accessory called Backpack to read CF cards or use a CF to any other card converter.

You can use IR or Bluetooth for wireless control of robots and other devices.

There is also RS232 on the Hima connector.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikos_s3:
Hi all. I have the following problem, which happened sometime on 4.2.2 and there is still present in 4.3. Note here that I flashed the whole image of 4.3 using adb but without wiping (that is I deleted the –w in the bat file of the image)

So, my nexus 4 does not keep the passwords of some routers wifi and I have to manually login to them every time to connect. This happens in different modems/routers, including my house’s.

Strange thing is that sometimes, even if it is connected, wifi’s name is shown in the list without saying connected underneath. And if I choose it, it prompts me to enter the password to connect.

I opened the wifi list using root explorer (/data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf) and I deleted the several references of those specific routers but problem still occurs.

Now, is there something I can do to avoid the whole system format? I guess that something is causing a cobflict, but I really can’t think of what that is.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dattinator:
You can't remove the Samsung bloatware with a stock device. It must be rooted because the system insists that the bloatware is crucial to device performance.

If you're not willing to root your device, you can disable some of the bloatware in the App manager in settings.

If you're willing to root, try out AntTek App Manager on the Play Store

Take care when you're deleting bloatware, removing the wrong one can mess up your device.
