[Xperia Tablet Z General] Ryland Johnson:
I totally agree with this with certain provisos. May I go off topic for just a second? We enjoy 'freedom of speech', does that freedom mean we can enter a cinema packed with people and shout FIRE? We have the freedom to do such a thing but to me freedom should come with responsibility. Here is my point. It is fine, though unwise, to remove the shatter proof film. There are two follow ups to that. One being that this is a public forum and is read by members new to the world of technology and may copy such an action. Secondly it is my bitter experience that those who abuse their devices are so often the first to complain when things go wrong?

Sony advertising is not in my opinion very helpful and honest regarding the Z mobile phone and the Z tablet. Sony clearly show in their advertising the tablet being used in a swimming pool. If you read the manual you will see the device is water resistant to a given industry criteria BUT Sony at the same time write not to expose the tablet to chemicals? Swimming pools contain the some of the very chemicals Sony write we must avoid?

To me the water resistance is just a protection against accidental contact with rain or tap water. It is Sony themselves that show clips that are in reality contrary to their own set of criteria. Make no mistake if one uses the tablet or phone in the sea or swimming pool and the seals become corroded Sony agents will be the first to refuse warranty work if the phone or tablet becomes damaged. All the Sony agents need to do is refer to the basic user manual.

Like it or not some owners are taking their tablets and phones surfing, white water rapids, swimming, in the sea, sauna etc. There are You tube clips of some owners cooking their devices in soup and some utter idiot cooking the mobile in chocolate?

To close. I agree we are free and that freedom has come at great cost so lets respect that freedom and use it with responsibility in particular when posting on a public forum?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Aid777:
I thought the purpose of the ASF was not to prevent the glass screen from shattering/cracking, but to prevent shattered/cracked glass from falling out, and potentially causing damage to persons holding the device.

I am very careful with my tablet (it was not cheap), I am confident that it will not be damaged. I have removed the ASF and agree with qshoo - the screen is much smoother, and clearer, and best of all it does not attract dust. I previously had an anti-glare screen protector on my tablet, but decided that it did dull the screen, and was less virbrant. For the moment I am happy without any sort of film on the screen.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CandyAndy:
What is the best way to start peeling this off? I can't get hold of the ASF even if try to get corner out with a knife.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Aid777:
I had some trouble, and kind of chipped away at the edge of the ASF, then it came away, I was a little worried to start with. I used a very small orange handled kitchen knife:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] qshoo:
I used a cutter with a new blade moved out some centimeters, working only with the first segment of the blade. A 9 mm blade is a little flexible and this helped coming beneath the ASF without cutting the tablets body ...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
+100

i agree fully with your point of view. As a matter of fact i wont even think of removing the shutter proof covering since sony has reasons for applying it in the first place. it has been stated that this cover is very expensive ( costs some $40/50) and will void the warranty. but still if people choose to remove it its their prerogative.

honestly speaking for me the argument that the feel is great, scrolling is easier, viewing is great is all propaganda to give validity to their decisions.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
Propaganda?

I was ready to apply a new protector if the protector-less operation wouldn't work out and if the people who advocate removing the protector would be wrong.

But This - Was - Not - The - Case. Bam. I would feel the application of a new protector as a deterioration, a ho-hum compromise. But why should I? I always handle devices very careful and am not afraid of screens breaking. And if it should happen - my god, such things happen,the world won't end. I'm not like these overly German Germans who look for security, security, security in all areas of their (boring) lifes and even drive bicycles with ludicrous helmets on their heads... :D

How can you judge it if you yourself never tested the tablet protector-less yourself??
[Xperia Tablet Z General] qshoo:
... so I'm one of the few Germans who removed their screen protector? :o ...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
why not sunbath naked in a beach at noon without any sunscreen and then boast i love to experiment. :laugh:

jokes apart, for me $599 is way too much to experiment. but yes if the screen cracks coz of my mistake with or w/o a screen protector or with or w/o a case i will be sad coz it was my hard earned money.

p.s my XTZ is not covered by any warranty.

I have rooted my phone long back may be 4-5 months ago but have not installed any custom rom yet. Suddenly it is behaving abnormally. Touch is random and also i see white dots moving around the entire screen. Also there are these abnormal lines or axes it seems, that are visible on the screen. Cant use my phone since it is not recognizing my touch properly and performing some random things. Also i would like to mention that my screen is cracked. I damaged it 2 months ago and it was working just fine. The touch was precise even then...till today..HELP!!!!:(:(:(

Hey there

Are there any custom kernels that work with 4.3 at the moment? All I really want is to remove the black menu bar and enable Logo2Menu mapping because the device is so annoying without it.

I checked all the kernels I know of but none of them have been updated.

I searched on Google and I found out that the 4.3 kernel source was already released a couple of days ago, is that correct or are those articles mistaken?

Thank you.

Hello,

I have been trying to install whatsapp on my kindle fire hd and followed a guide that said to use the allwinner mod apk.

I did install the allwinner mod, selected samsuns s9000 and tried to install whatsapp

It failed, so i rebooted the kindle.

Now I am stuck at bootloop.

I see the kindlefire boot going but the system never boots.

I tried with kindle first aide to re-flash the original firmware, but failed since it seems unable to connect.

I tried to connect from command line but I cant get the fastboot command to go, tried with the original cable and with another one that I have got and that has always worked.

Im now out of ideas.

Since the kindle is rooted I dont think i can send to amazon, any idea?

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You need to get a fastboot cable to get your kindle into fastboot mode in order to flash it. They are pretty cheap.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assasukasse:
Hello and thanks

I noticed that it responds to adb with a normal cable,

since i know that the allwinner mod changes the build.prop I was wondering if there is a way to restore the original one via abd.

Is there someone that has a build.prop to send me (kindle fire hd 7)

In the meanwhile I put on order the fastboot cable...

Thanks

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assasukasse:
Hello

many thanks I managed to get it out of the bootloop.

the procedure is:

download the build.prop and save to the computer /home (i use linux) then open a terminal and connect the usb cable to kindle

adb shell

exit
exit
adb push ./build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

That would be "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." and that is because you have restored data from an other rom including system data which is not recommended restoring on an other rom.

I was able to successfully root my fiance's l769 thanks to user captaincrook's thread about a method brought about by, i believe, user jcase. My question is, will I still have to use the method in d33ps1x's tutorial for using link2sd if i flash a custom rom??

captaincrook - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338816 this worked amazing for rooting if anyone still needs to root. I used it for a T-mobile and it was super succesful and was rootchecker verified.

d33ps1x - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432459 i actually used this method and it appeared to work great by partitioning a portion of the external sd to ext2 format. i'm not really sure if i should have used ext2, ex4 or fat32 but i went with ext2 and it seemed to work out alright. i was able to swing something like 40 apps/the data from the apps over without too many problems (the sd card got a little soggy recenty so it's been acting finicky so we removed the partition and reformatted back to a primary fat32.

The GPS issue is one thing that has been reported elsewhere and it looks like google is looking at that. I've had the GPS quit working on my tablet too.

In my case, the fastbood mode doesn't work from linux (Kubuntu 13.10). It's just not detected, it makes no usb plugged sound, no icon on the tray...nothing. After some headaches just decided to boot to windows and try again. Fastboot mode, exactly as described, plug it to USB, and there you go, the "bop-beep" sound of usb plugged.
