[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LoveQwerty:
I'm very happy to report it actually can be done. I've done two almost perfect applications last night, with no bubble and no dust speck. The first one was not perfectly aligned around the home button, so after hesitating a lot, afraid I'll screw up next time, I removed it and proceeded again. After 2-3 tries I got a new "perfect" application, pretty well centered on the home button and around the screen/sensors, again no finger prints, no dust particle, no bubble. In certain angles ( with screen off ) I see some tiny-tiny-tiny whitish spots in several places, but I'm not sure where they come from. But they don't bother me at all, you can't see them when looking directly at the screen.

Oh, and the best part: you don't actually need a dust-free room, any normal room will do ( of course, given you haven't dusted off prior to installing the screen protector :) )
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MaggieBeer:
Method

Did you use the Isopropyl to clean the adhesive side of the protector or? Seems to me that as soon as you get some dust/dirt on the adhesive side, it will be very difficult to clean
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LoveQwerty:
No, because I wasn't sure what concentration should I use and I was worried if it won't damage the adhesive.

But in fact the solution is very simple and it should work every time.

The important part is that we're dealing with a glass screen protector, I'm pretty sure it won't work on regular, non-glass protectors.

And the part that does all the magic ... is this :

Yes, a simple but highly sticky dust&lint roller ...

I basically placed the glass protector - adhesive side up - on a flat surface, surface that I've cleaned seconds before with the same sticky roller ( might stick a lot, depending of your surface, but no problem, you can peel away some sheets ). And then just roll the stick over the glass several times, especially in parts where I've noticed some specks of dust in the previous application. It doesn't stick at all to the glass, but it picks every speck of dust or lint - that's what it's made for, isn't it ?:D

Than you just apply it as usual - I've started with the home button, it seemed the trickiest to get right - and it falls in place and sticks by itself on the whole surface without any pressure or touching it or anything. If there's any speck of dust, just detach immediately and have a couple more rolls over that spot.

It worked perfectly for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xreflection:
If that doesn't work for you, or you do not have a lint roller, scotch tape rolled up around your finger works great too. See my video here on my installation of the screen protector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpsBbld0E2A
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LoveQwerty:
24 hours later, those tiny spots are completely gone, and the glass protector looks and feels absolutely great :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] coolsilver:
After two of those things I gave up and been going without. First didnt' set right, adhesive in corner got messed up and bubbled. Tried again, much cleaner only two dust specks which I was ok with... until it chipped on the edge near ear speaker.

Yup. They were great, cut down on smudges. Just expensive and fragile.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
I bought two spigen glass screen protectors, the .23 ones. One of them chipped on the top right in my pocket and the second one wouldn't adhere on the left side of the screen.

Since then I bought the tech Armor Ballistic screen protector that is thicker and with the suction cup they provided, application was easy, with no dust and went on perfectly. 3 weeks now and not one blemish at all.

I am growing tired of spigen, they have pretty cases and the packaging is nice, but their products are awful. I have the spigen neo hybrid case where the frame is already scratched and the white plastic shows, haven't yet once dropped my phone, yet the screen protector and case have either broken or have gotten scratched up. There is my rant.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] doggiedog:
I really screwed up applying the Spigen glass onto my phone when I got a small piece of dust on it and kept making it worse by trying different things to remove it. In the end there was so much lint that all I could do was take the screen, wash it off with liquid soap and reapply. The glass went back on without any problem. It's been on my phone for the last few weeks and is still snug with zero bubbles or dust.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] wildone:
I was applying screen protector to nvidia shield and managed to stuff it up, all 3 of them :) just washed the with some dish washing liquid dryed them out and reapplied works like a charm. Also I used one of the protectors to remove dust from the screen first. You can add some alcohol to water if you want it to dry faster.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zhuozhi211:
It works!

I'm glad I found this thread before giving up.

I've already threw away a piece of OEM glass sp before I got the Benks AKR glass sp, and the second try didnt go well neither. It was slightly misaligned, and caught some dusts under the sp.

The lint roller idea is great. I also used a few other tools to help with the 'operation' - guitar pick, alcohol wipe, static dust remover (that come with the sp), and a suction cup.

I used a guitar pick to lift the edge of the sp, and a suction cup to help taking it out from the phone. Had to be careful that the guitar pick may spoil the sp adhesive while lifting. As recommended, I used the lint roller to roll over the sticky side of the sp a few times, to make sure it is dust free. And used the alcohol wipe and static dust remover to clean the device screen.

Luckily the last attempt went well :good: and I can now enjoy playing with the device again.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Caelrie:
You really needn't have worried about that. You can completely remove the adhesive and the glass will still stick to the screen just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] awicks:
I screwed up applying my Spigen protector - getting fluff on the screen in the process. In a moment of panic I wiped it with the microfibre cloth, which only made it worse. After some Googling I tried Sellotape - and this worked perfectly. It took a few attempts to get the protector in the correct place without fluff underneath but I am now extremely pleased with the result!

Sellotape is king!

Snoop... First, thank you for the link... Gotta love the downTHEMall! app for Firefox....

Uncompress the game you want, and copy the files into the My midlet folder on your phone. These are java based games, and you have to use the midlet manager to install, and run them. Some won't work, some will be a little flaky, but most should be ok.

I have a problem understanding the controls for these inside one the midlet manager.

Hi, i'm try to create a simple clock that needs to be updated every minute, I want to use a BroadcastReceiver that listen the ACTION_TIME_TICK, however, it never launches, I have the action registered in the AndroidManifest:

<receiver android:name=".MainWidget" >

public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

ComponentName myComponentName = new ComponentName(context, MainWidget.class);
AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);

}

And the class WidgetBroadcastReceiver from BroadcastReceiver where I have this on the onReceive method:

if(action.equals(Intent.ACTION_TIME_TICK)){
Log.i("TICK", "WORKS");
}

But it never adds anything in the log, any help? Thanks in advanced, have a nice day!

[Shield General] davidrex:
This is a solution for people using the Nvidia Shield with a computer they manage via Windows Remote Desktop Connection and Windows 8:

I was having difficulty restarting shield streaming after using the streamed computer via windows RDC. It would tell me that the display was not compatible with the GPU. My current setup has the computer in another room hooked up to a projector which is rarely on. I realized that after RDC the console control would not return to the default display. This worked for me:

Create a desktop shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and selecting new, then select shortcut.

In the text field enter:

%windir%\System32\tscon.exe 0 /dest:console (See below)

Right click the newly created shortcut, click properties.

Click the shortcut tab, and click the Advanced button.

Check the "Run as administrator" box and click OK.

If this doesn't work, try changing the number zero (tscon.exe 0 /dest...) in step 2 to the number one, and if it doesn't work, keep incrementing it until your remote desktop is released.

Alternately, open up a shell with start menu, run, cmd. Type qwinsta Enter, and look for the ID of the session that is in the active state (it will have a > character at the start of its session name). That's the number you need to use in step 2.

When you want to restore the console desktop, just double click on the shortcut and allow the administrator access.

It worked perfectly. I hadn't found a solution listed anywhere yet for this specific issue so I thought I'd share.

I use Splashtop. It's actually even possible to connect in parallel. Nvidia Streaming first and then Splashtop.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theshadowofamirage:
So hey people I have a Note II. I'm a big fan of gaming on Android. SO I hear Asphalt 8 is built for the new OpenGL ES 3.0, which is supported by Android 4.3. The game runs well on my 4.1.2 ROM. Very impressive. WHat I wanna ask is whether the unofficial CM10.2 ROMS have OpenGL ES 3 enabled? Even if they do, does my Mali 400MP be able to run it? Is it compatible? Or will it be only the next gen chips who can run ES 3.0?

To summarize:

-Is Mali400MP capable of running ES 3.0?

-If it is, do the unofficial cm10.2 4.3 roms have ES 3.0 enabled?

Thanks! :)

For some reason, when I move out of a LTE area, 3G just won't work - it only connects to 1x. If I reboot the phone it works, though. Is this a software issue or something that just happens with LTE?

I'm on the CM10.2 8/23/13 nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
You answered your own question, when you said what rom your on.

There's no such thing as 4.2 or 4.3 for our device or AOSP. So everthing is a port, kang and put together from other devices. Then they mod and code cdma files and mod vendor files to get it to work.

Aosp roms for a device that doesn't have a natural aosp rom has issues handling the exchange between lte and 3g it's a known problem.

I bet if you flash any TW rom it will work perfect. It's one of the little issues with aosp and these cm style roms on our device. Some roms handle it better than others but nightlies tend to experience the most bugs and also the best mods which get tested.

is there a way on restoring the 30-day trial of this software other than by hard resetting the dvice? hehe thnks
[General Topics] badgerboy1:
simple answer, buy it!!!

If u go onto ebay uk Softmaker have an offer to buy then download from their website, approx $20US. This is quite a lot cheaper than going direct to the website.

The other option is to download from a peer to peer network, but that of course is illegal(in most countries) or download a reg code and try that.

Diztonic has a black TPU case on Amazon, but you have to pay shipping for it right now since it's not covered with Amazon Prime yet. About $13 total I think.

You can check Griffin because the Verizon store sells their cases... Also try searching for Xt1080m since the model number may help filter out the Razrs.

Not sure exactly what you need, but im thinking you just need to download the 2.3.7 aosp source, then get all proprietary blobs for your devices (should be able to extract a lot from current ROM) and your device tree (if your device doesn't have one this may be hard to build yourself)

Then compile and your done, but not 100% sure what your trying to accomplish so... Yeah
[Milestone 2 General] douglasrac:
Hi,

I have a Milestone 2. It was running CM10. I decided to put CM7. I was already rooted of course, so I just downloaded new gaaps and CM7 and reboot into the recover menu. There I installed both zip files and wiped data, cache and dalvik. Reboot the system and now I'm stuck on bootloop. Don't even see the cyanogen mod screen, only Motorola logo. Rewipe data doesn't work either.

So I thought I could flash a new rom, the retail rom but RSD Lite don't recognize the phone.

I cannot install any rom because when I press X and power up, what I get is the official boot loader, which doesn't accept any install from zip card that is not signed.

So what now? Throw this phone at the wall? Almost going to windows phone anyway. Please help, I have no money to buy another phone right now.
