i use screen protector film, bought on ebay, because od scratches.

Just clean the screen sometimes if is protector too :) and quality will be fine :laugh:

No to screen protectors. Hate the feel and glare. One year with the S3 and not a mark, knock on wood.

Why do we need screen protection if we have gorilla gl
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aybarrap1:
Gorilla glass may be very scratch resistant but it is not scratch proof. For some, such as myself, there is that feel good feeling off knowing that it is that much harder to mess up our phones.

After looking over the nuud on a friend's phone and the fre on mine, I realized that the only difference is the top half. I wish I could purchase just the top half of the nuud along with the screen protector. I love how much clearer the screen looks with that screen protector. The only thing about the protector is that it is almost too slippery.

I ordered one of the glass screen protectors just out of curiosity. Anyone tried one?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hutru01:
I used to use a matte finish screen protector, but decided to take it off. I figured that if I cracked the screen insurance will cover it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GiulioPasini:
Since I bought my S3, more than a year ago, I've always using the Zagg mate screen protector until today (because it wasn't that good at all) and I simply forgot how good is the resolution of it's screen, I'll buy another one, a normal one. The result of it is that the screen of my S3 is like more than a year ago.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mike t:
Got my glass screen protector today and I love it! Feels like the real screen. It was 9.95 on ebay and well worth it. There are also some for 5.99 from china.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Seemee1605:
Testing few screen protectors, from glossy to matt and everything , but nothing fitted in the right position in few days, allways peel off because of these round display.. Now i got no screen protector since i got my s3 1 year ago and anything is good, no scratch no finger tip after microstructure.. dont waste money on screen protectors
[Galaxy S III Accessories] texanaustinite:
Would rather not use one, but do. Not many things will scratch Gorilla Glass, metals won't, but quartz will. Lots of crushed granite on a lot of the biking/jogging trials. Any bits on your finger will scratch it. Same goes for a fun day at the beach.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] agentfusion:
For a while, I used mine without a screen protector and was very, very careful not to put it in the same pocket with ANYTHING.

I've had it almost two months now, and damn if there isn't a 2mm hairline scratch on my screen. So, I swung by a boost mobile shop (they just started carrying the s3, so I figured they would have more accessories than the major carrier stores since they're focusing on the s4) and ended up buying a trident aegis case with a screen protector, and the rep thoroughly cleaned my device and applied it for my for no extra charge just to be nice.

Not one of those anti glare ones, but just a plain clear protector. I love it. I don't know if it's just the quality of it, or if all fitted s3 protectors are like this one, but my fingers glide across the screen much easier and it doesn't show fingerprints at all.

So, yeah, I'm never removing this thing. It's perfect. Also, the aegis is an amazing case but I'll save that for a review thread about the combo pack later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fstomaz:
I had the anti glare protector at first.

I thought it was good and then I got one phone without the protector on my hand and regreted putting the protector on mine.

Later I bought a clear protector and got the feeling again I was without screen protector. Feels very good.

[Xperia Z General] DrKrFfXx:
My biggest advice to the Z owners: It's not a ****ing submarine.

It'll survive spills, accidental drops in water, rain, some other moisture related incidents.

It's an electronic piece of equipment, protected only by wear prone flaps (seals might become loose in time) and a piece of glass stuck with glue.

It's not a pressure protected Mariana Trench Explorer.
[Xperia Z General] dsa88:
Well, it's all there written is specs actually.

Specifically, Z got IP7 while ZR is fully IP8. Meaning:

Immersion up to 1m Vs. beyond 1m.

Testing time 30min Vs. continuous immersion.

Note the difference.

I'm all done with water tests, was fun for the 1st week, I'm happy as long it withstands heavy rain, but I certainly wont be swimming with it, I tend to give it a wipe with a small microfibre cloth if it gets a bit greasy

Felt brave and tested mine in the pool for about two hours. Pretty much went anywhere from 4ft to 12ft and still works great.

[Xperia Z General] MasterfullDON:
This phones design is crap.

basically after prolonged use and short charges the battery expands, happened to 2 of my devices. Once the battery expands, it slowly opens up the xperia, this causes the back to come loose near the bottom.

Ive had the battery issue with 2 devices so I had to replace the battery and rear adhesive. Its disappointing.
[General Questions and Answers] pjkiener:
Hey Guys,

What are everyone's favorite kernels and tweaks for Galaxy s4 running Cyanogenmod 10.2? Just trying to get a consensus. I downloaded KToonSez Kernel but I my phone started working a little off. I couldn't pin point it. I ended up installing the next nightly for 10.2 and KtoonSez was gone, which was a relief.

Anyway, please share if you guys have any advice on best kernels and tweaks, and even if you have any great apps to share.

Cheers!

Has anyone purchased a GS4 in the last 1-2 weeks from Verizon? I'm going to probably be getting one around the beginning of September and I'm wondering whether or not I'll be able to buy it in the store WITHOUT the ME7 update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigbailey1986:
Purchased one 2 days ago... From Atlanta ga still had mdk.. They didn't make me update or anything though it did pop up as soon as the phone activated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrjinglesusa:
Purchased one online from Verizon last week. Got it Monday and it did not come with ME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] surfsup1955:
got my a week ago... ME7 OTA'd before I could get it out of the store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
If you buy the phone new it's a good possibility the phone came from the warehouse and to get the ME7 update the REPs will install it.

If you tell them not to, they can't refuse you and say we HAVE to.

IF they do ask for a manager.

Best of luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue:
I purchased one this past tuesday and it was with MDK not ME7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
The box says what software version it was flashed with on the box. If it says MDK, then don't put your SIM in at all. Tell them you simply don't wish to activate it in the store. Just turn it on and confirm. If the phone itself is ME7, show them the difference in listed s/w versions, and say you want one that hasn't been opened previously. Yes, they will think you're ridiculous, so maybe don't do this at your regular store. But you'll have an MDK phone.

If you're ordering online, just open the box and still don't put the SIM in. Then root it, and block SDM.apk and FWupgrade.apk to block the update. Then and only then should you activate it. Just a heads up for you or anyone else reading this thread that is about to buy an S4 and doesn't know that yet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
By the phone from best buy or online and do not accept the ota, for right now most of the phones are shipping MDK. At some point in time this will change so do not wait to long
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Thanks for the heads up. I plan to have them just give me the phone and let me do the unboxing. If I have to I'll showcase my tech savvy to assure them I can handle it or just tell them to simply NOT update via OTA. Either way its good to know I still have a chance at MDK. Thanks everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] surfsup1955:
I'm gonna perform a wipe on mine this week and see if I can take it back to MDK. Seems doable?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrjinglesusa:
No. Once on ME7 there is no way to go back to MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] surfsup1955:
if I read this correctly < http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 >, using the "no-wipe" procedure to unroot, can't I elect to reflash with MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
No because of the way the bootloader is signed you CANNOT flash back to MDK, you will hard brick your phone. Samsung took a page from Motorola and lock out the previous versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] surfsup1955:
thanks obsidian (and mrjingles)... I appreciate the save.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krypto1300:
Just picked up 2 for the Wife and I. They were both MDK. We live in Hawaii.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
If you are buying a 32GB (wish the Developer Edition came in 32GB) you will very likley get ME7 since they all drop ship from warehouse distribution. The 16GB in the stores still are running MDK though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
This is good to know because I am planning on picking up the 16GB as I have a 32GB Micro from previous phone that I plan on using for storage once I get it. Here's hoping that when I get it in September they are still selling the MDKs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madmaglio:
Got the 16GB saturday. MDK all the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
I am glad you got MDK on yours, I just wish the 32GB came that way or at my reall hope is bootloader gets broken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
We need to remember that the ME7 update is very new, the ppl working on it have lives and can't work on it 24/7.

Also, they could even have it unlocked right now, and either,

1) waiting for the bounty to get higher (I would..)

2) maybe waiting to see what Verizon does, maybe another update or something, don't want to release it then have the exploit patched soon after.

Personally, I am lucky to be on MDK.

If boot loader isn't unlocked by December, January I will be looking for a new device.

Right now you'd be lucky to get $500 for your SG4 Mint condition 16GB on Swappa, I don't think it's worth paying the $650 + tax for the dev edition at this point.

I'd rather send $100 to the developers who crack the boot loader than give it to Samsung.

Sorry for the rant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
Perfectly acceptable rant. It's good to remind those that are overly eager or who are Flash addicts that these people do have lives although sometimes when you come across a Dev as dedicated and active as yourself it's easy to forget :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Thanks for this... depending on how ME7 plays out, i might just sell my GS4 (i hope not). For VZ, do you just pull the micro sim out, wipe, and sell it?

Sent from Navi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Take it back, and say you're having issues that you've read are related to this update. Tell them you want one without the update if they have another.

But seriously people, we've got to be more careful. There's only so many out there that are still MDK, it's such a waste to see so many people accidentally updating or letting it update, or allowing someone else to do it for them. It's not hard, just don't activate it until you root and block the update by freezing SDM.apk and FWUpgrade.apk. If the store insists on activating it then, tell them you want to be the one to turn it on. Defer the update, and turn it off and pull the sim as soon as it's done. Nothing wrong with that, it's not like you have to take the update.

The only way to fight back right now, unless you're a dev working on a solution, is to get as many people on MDK phones as possible, and keep this community growing. And that won't happen if people keep updating MDK devices for whatever reason.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Qixxie:
My experience when picking one up was I OTA'd ME7 without checking forums first (I knew I was going to root, didn't think it'd be an issue). Ended up phone-swapping for a new one and airplane moded it the second the SIM was in and the phone was on. Flashed a bare-bones MDK onto it as soon as I got home as to disable the annoying auto-OTA until I could build CM10 from source and get it on there.

So far I haven't seen or heard of any coming pre-installed with ME7, but the OTA update is very sneaky and under-the-radar. Fair warning to anyone who sees this - stick it in airplane mode when you purchase, just to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RaptorMD:
They are not supposed to accept updates or any TOS, those are customer specific things and should only be done by the customer. I was pissed my 32GB came with ME7, I could have gotten the 16GB with MDK but its just too little storage for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
So true... when i got mine from the store (MDK), I had to pull battery because I was paranoid about the OTA installing lol

I am very interested in this also. I am thinking about buying the zerolemon 7000mAh Extended Battery but don't know if the included case looks good or not. I already have a anker 4400 battery but the cheap Hong Kong honey comb case I bought sucks.
