What factory screen protector?

Sorry the off topic, I see ppl talking about a factory protector that has the sony logo on it. My phone had a white plastic covering on it which i took off (otherwise cant see anything, purely for shipping purposes) and then a separate screen protector in the box which I then stuck on the phone.

Are you guys saying that there was already a screen protector on the phone with a logo and I just added another one onto that one?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Dentisst:
Yes there is shatterproof protector on it right out of the box.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
You will be fine fine with the touch and responsiveness. I found on xperia z the clarity was better after taking of ASF.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] funky0308:
Hehe...no, mate.

I got one only...

As I said, I use only their SP and because of that and the fact I waited for a few weeks for a release - they sent me a cupon.

Try to contact them - if you planning to buy more than one I'm sure you could get some discount ;)

But I must say they are really awesome guys, when I ordered SP for my N7, I waited 20+ days and they have sent me another one as a apologie - and that wasn't even their fault...

I would recommend that ebay store - always :thumbup:

Recently purchased a "Skinomi screen protector + full body protective skin + full lifetime warranty"

You could find it on Amazon, just search up Skinomi Sony Xperia Z1. $18 dollars for the bundle but hey, why not?

I just want to inform that after dealing with freaking fingerprints everywhere I did a simple things that helped me a lot with the stock screen protector.

I washed it under warm water with a bit of soap 2/3 times.

Now my screen looks a bit more soft on touch and yeaaaa, much less fingerprints during daily usage!

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
I can only seem to find screen protectors with either a proximity sensor cutout or a camera cut out, I'm trying to find one without any cutouts at all. The only one that I've seen is this one here, but it's so expensive :(.

http://www.crystal-armor.com/#!/items/5291cf428a56105df40007b0
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] RushNReady:
Why do you not want the cut outs will that not effect the phones performance? Also that links in Chinese lol.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Zerousen:
It's actually in Japanese, and apparently the glass protector is thin enough that it does not need cut outs. I prefer no cutouts as I find that lint and other stuff can sometimes get into them, and it's a pain to clean them out sometimes. I'd rather just have no cutouts at all. I ordered a C6906 on Swappa and it's already coming with a glass protector that has a proximity sensor cutout, though.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] RushNReady:
I got skins on mine so I do not worry about that. Will keep an eye out for you
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] TrueRedRedvil:
Lads, can anyone tell me where can I buy actually original Sony screen protectors, with the Sony logo? I want to change the original screen protectors that the phone came with just out of the box.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] gandalf_grey91:
Can't believe no one has tried Martin Fields screen protectors. I've used them for the last 6 phones that I've bought into the family (First used on my HTC Desire but then bought a few models that Martin Fields don't make protectors for). I buy them in twin packs and never use the second one. They just don't scratch.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] ahzhang452:
Has anybody seen the special glass protectors? Like the privacy glass ones or the matte glass ones.

I'm currently using a plastic matte one and it's because I can't stand glare or fingerprints. But I know that a glass protector feels better.

Any ideas?

Broken screen

My Xperia z1 screen has already been broken with a minor hit from the stand of orbitrek exerciser while it was on charge. It's just been 7 months since I bought the phone & now I am really disappointed that such a branded phone is so fragile and plus the sony warranty doesn't cover physical damages. I had to pay half the price of the actual phone to get a replacement. Now I am worried to keep this fragile piece of crap or resell it and if I decide to keep it what sorts of measures should I take to protect it. Somebody please help me. Should I use glass screen protector or go for liquid coating. And ofcurs use flip covers because cases don't give that much of a protection thereby spoiling the beauty of this fragile piece of crap..I have really very little knowledge regarding the screen protection thing so please guide me.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] KoscheiTheDeathless:
Get a tpu case. Plastic shells don't absorb as much impact. Having just a screen protector (be it liquid or glass) and no case is no different from bwing naked if it hits on the edge, which it usually will.

Also, the z1 isn't to blame, your lack of proper foresight and butterfingers are. Any other phone would have suffered similar damage in the drop you described. Smartphone edge design isn't meant to make the thing indestructible.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] khanhanu:
Well my phone was already in a case.It dropped and the screen cracked. So,what i am concerned about is how to protect the screen when i get a new one as i won't be able to pay half the price of the phone again

Asf in the back

My question is pretty short and simple: if the original anti shatter films are removed from the back, will the sony, xperia and nfc logos also be removed? I think on the front it will be removed, but i am not sure about the back.

Guys I must share that unbelivable stats (for me and maybe some of you).

A few days ago I flashed an MGG rom and then tried to downgrade, I ended up with unfunctional SGS4.. FCs, No sound.. Almsot dropped it into a grabge.

Thanks to Djembey! I fixed it up - Downloaded MH8 from Samsung Updates, Flashed it with Odin so my phone is Official status now and the crazy thing I've found is that the battery is THE GREATEST I've ever seen yet. All Official stock.

Yet- 25 Hours without charging! (During the first 9 Hours NFC and BT were working cause I forgot to switch em off) 2 Hours Screen on time! and still 52% Battery

[Galaxy S 4 General] Maxi66:
This has been possible with all rom so far. The most important point on such statements, as per my opinion, is always missing. Which configuration (i.e. background tasks, screen settings, power saving settings, data connection, BT, WLAN) was active during the said period. Only once there are predefined test settings (if only possible) applied - comparison is probably possible with a certain accuracy.

Anyhow, if it makes people happy sharing such information - it is worth of sharing it !
[Galaxy S 4 General] frans777:
Nothing Configured for Battery saving.............. Mobile always on. Screen Brightness Auto in the middle. Nothing been changed since I Flashed MH8 for battery saving.

Just powered off BT and NFC after about 9 Hours. Google services off.
[Galaxy S 4 General] s.illes79:
standby time is better since latest update ( at least for me )

standby, on 3g with sync, battery drops 1% / h -> 4 days standby time

airplane mode -> 1 % per 8-10 hours :) -> 32 days offline - never going to try this :)

but screen on time is rarely more than 4 hours ( browsing or game play ), with video watching could go up to 8 hours

[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:

[Galaxy S 4 General] AvelonTs:
With google services off? i get more than 2 days with about 2 and half hours on screen with constantly wifi and sync on ... air gesture and air view ... brightness as yours ... i have the i9500 ... so pretty much battery life is the same

Lol ! Im on slim MH8 and my battery is holding around 12 hours. :)))

1. 3g on all time

2. Viber, Skype, 2 push emails accounts, G+ on sync,

3. At least 50 SMS / day , 1 - 2 hours of voice call ( even 3 hours depends on how busy is my day )

4. Screen 70%

5. CPUs at 1.2 GHz - performance mode

6. Some 1080 videos

7 let's say 1 hour music

8. Browsing web

So?! I'm OK with the battery
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
How much screen time? That's what matters the most to me.

My phone performs really great when I'm on Wifi, but once 4G comes in, it drains 10%/h battery when I'm not using the phone and even more if I do.

So I have to leave 4G off most of the time to save battery but it's not really what I intended when I bought this phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] frans777:
The question is whether your Phone Provider uses Fast Dormancy if it does, Make sure its ON in your device, If It doesnt, Switch it OFF.

IF you are like me, It really helping in Ideling data proccess when not needed. and saves energy. If its working in ur device but your provider doesnt work with it, it drains your battery even more. SEARCH FOR THAT.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
How do I enable/disable Fast Formancy on S4? I knew how to do this on S2 but it is not working the same way on S4.

Same with 3G if you are over your limit and don't have a connection to 3G. If you don't disable mobile networking the battery drains like **** (because it's searching for a actinve internet connection probably). Turned it off and my battery life is amazing.

Hi all,

I'm an Italian guy so I don't know what does it means that your Gnexus phone is Verizon, Sprint or stock. I mean: are there some hardware differences? Or it is only as regard as the logo (which is simple to remove) or the baseband? Is it also for all the other devices that are so-different?

For example, should I be able to mount a Verizon logic board into a stock phone?

Thank you for your kind attention, looking forward your answers.

Sorry for my bad English,

Hi folks!

A few weeks ago, we discussed the problem of diverting all audio signals from the BA to a normal BT headset. We more or less solved the problem by adding some fancy registry tweaks, that enabled the new BT profiles. The audiogw.dll didn't work correctly but then...

At this point, WM5 appeared and all efforts on the subject stopped.

So, has anyone an idea, if and how it would be possible to solve the problem on a BA running WM5?

What I am trying to do: I want to hear the instructions from TomTom or NAVIGON software on my BT Headset, which is still only useable for phonecalls.

A nice little program or registry patch to solve the problem would be highly apreciated...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] eagle 1:
I would love for this to work also. I would even switch back to wm2003se if it worked on it. Even tho my pda2k seems to run better on wm5; after all the patches and overclocking to 531.

Another problem with bluetooth

Hi again!

I just found out about a new bluetooth related problem:

The BA seems to use the internal MIC when in a phonecall, even though I am using a bluetooth headset. so I hear everthing loud and clear through the headset, but I need to talk to the internal MIC so that the other side can hear me, too.

Any idea why that is

rofl. If you would read more about this topic, you would find out, that samsung isn't the only one doing this. But I don't see the problem, because first of all I don't really care about benchmarks and secondly I think the purpose of a benchmark is to test the phone on the highest settings.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] RuffBuster:
Maybe others do, but its not right. I use benchmarks when purchasing a phone, so do some others and companies know this, why else would they ramp up scores? And fine if they want to show off their highest settings, but not if these high settings dont actually run for more than 10 minutes before frying your phone. These aren't real world stats which is what they should be showing. I mean who are these high settings benchmarks ment to be for if not everyday users? Personally I think its a scam and ANY company that goes by these rules is shameful...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] leripe:
I can't really understand this whine about specific settings on benchmarks?! People who want the highest score disable everything, use the highest settings, overclock, use fresh install, delete all useless apps etc. Clearly these newbie phone benchmarkers have never done pc benchmarks. And if someone buys a phone because of it's benchmark score then clearly those don't have any idea about real life usage vs benchmarking.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Battlehero:
I myself have done many benchmarks both on PC and mobile phones and I myself use the scores I get and compare it against it's physical aspects. Everyone has their own way of buying a phone and you can't judge people for the way they do stuff.

A benchmark is not a good reason to buy a phone, I think you are a fanboy trolling

features man that's the real deal, battery life, network, camera, memory, screen, style construction, etc.

not only a benchmark if you want the best bench score buy the full one not the mini
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] iKlutz:
Benchmarks mean something to me as well. They aren't guidelines to what phone I should choose, but the specifics can give me a good judgement for the aspect I'm intending to improve when upgrading my phone. I had an s3 mini before this and was disappointed by battery life versus performance. I could tell the difference by taking multiple benchmarks at different times during everyday use. I noticed when phones/ROMs have widely varying benchmarks then the battery life and performance would dwindle. The s3 mini on most ROMs would vary by approx 2000 points, and that's a lot.

It's worth noting that a custom ROM can affect the stability of a phones functioning a lot, but it is mostly due to the hardware used when a phone/computer has dwindling performance. The s4 mini for me, has had fairly stable performance and shows it with the battery life. My scores vary between approx 19800 and 20800 with moderate use.
