[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] littlewierdo:
A couple of sets I can recommend:

Seinheiser HD600 (theres a slightly more expensive model, I believe the HD610s, feel free to spring for the 610s rather than the 600s if you are already at this price point ($600ish) and a super duper more expensive model ($1500). I bought the HD600s 10 years ago when they were Seinheisers top model, since then, as mentioned, they have released two higher end models. One thing to note, these REQUIRE an amp. Dont even waste your time running them off the phone.

In my view, Seinheiser provides the most ACCURATE (ie flat) sound reproduction available on the market as far as studio monitors are concerned, provided you are powering them properly (I have 2 dozen different studio headphones and tested them all for sound accuracy).

When it comes to earbuds however, Klipsch has more accurate sound (Ive tried near to 100 different earbuds), the Klipsch S4i IIs retail for around $100 and are as good as Ive found for accurate sound (and I might add, the Note 3 drives them well enough). They may require a small reduction in the higher frequency range (namely the 3-10k hz range, a 1 db reduction should be fine) as they are just a tad too rich in the higher frequencies.

Now, the most hated of them all for audiophiles, bluetooth earbuds (Im not going to deal with bluetooth studio sets as in my view, you should be using a wired set of Seinheisers for sound quality, wiring should not be a problem because, well, quite frankly, who is using portable studio headphones for anything outside the house?).

The absolute best set of bluetooth earbuds are the Jaybird Bluebuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones that sell for around $150 on Amazon. They are not exactly accurate for sound reproduction, but I have yet to find a pair that are in fact accurate. They do however sound pretty good as long as you arent super picky about accurate sound, since I primarily used them for podcasts and audiobooks, I was ok with them after installing a global eq app where I could reduce the bass significantly (3.6 db in the 80-180 hz range) and make a small reduction in the amount of treble (namely a 1.2 db reduction in the 1-7k frequency range).

The Jaybirds come with a steep caveat, I have purchased 2 sets in the last year and a half (the second set purchased 6 months after the first set died) and they both stopped charging 6-9 months into using them (I used them 5 days a week for 1 hour each day and then charged them at the end of the week). I currently have no bluetooth earbuds and Im on the lookout for a different brand.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xatlx:
LOL Mine is well over 2000$ without amp... 1280$s is just for the monitor it self. not including the wire.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vtjay:
The klipsch's sound great but don't wear them working out, I shorted out 3 pairs before retiring them. For working out, the bluebudsx are awesome, very good sound for a Bluetooth headset, comfortable and durable

I couldn't stop laughing when I opened the envelope from china. Looks a little thick. I hope its not Plexiglas or acrylic. Either way I suppose my phone is ready for anything with this protector. I'm just guessing they're overreaching a bit on the marketing pitch.

I'll update when I get it on.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Fuzalert2k:
where did you order this from? send me link plz! Did you also remove the shatter-proof film already attached to the Xperia?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] angel.grin:
I have installed a similar one but different brand it's quite good. Very clear and not fingerprint magnet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IAmBrock:
I would also like to know where you bought this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IsolatedAbyss:
Wow, explosion proof. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Ahaahhahaha I ordered the same from eBay... Explosion proof is a little bit exaggerate... :D

Sent from my mother in law's horribly small, painfully slow, still at ICS LG 2X through XDApp

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LucKyPunk:
Yes that the one I bought. Got it in about 10 calendar days. Still haven't put it on yet but I'll let you know.

LP
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IAmBrock:
Okay thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] implode99:
I bought this one and put it on. works great . looks great. nice to have glass and nopt plastic on the XZU . its to nice for plastic
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IAmBrock:
Great cause I went ahead and bought it. I would love to see photos if you can.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I put on mine 5 minutes ago, I had an anti glare one before, and boy is this smoother than anything I've ever put on a phone... It has an effective oleophobic coating so you barely see any fingerprint, and touchscreen works fine, no issues at all.

It is actually pretty thick, but I guess it adds no more than 10 grams so I don't really care, I have a basic gel back cover and you can barely see it even if it's considerably smaller than the screen (talking about 1.5mm all around), and even though the holes for sensors and led are REALLY holes, you can literally fill them with water (I'm joking, but I will try and let you know... :D).

Only problem with these protectors is you have to get it on on 1 max 2 moves, because replacing it is a real pain in the arse. Because is thicker and heavier and stiffer than any other screen protector, you can't simply put a piece of magic tape on the corner and peel it off, you have to do it with a nail or something like a guitar pick or it doesn't come off. Hence the difficulty if you happen to leave a freaking dust particle under it (usually at the center of the screen, where you see it EVERY SINGLE TIME you take a glance at your device).

Lastly, big bubbles are non existing, instead there are a million of infinitesimal bubbles that go away with hard work with a squeegee, or the producer claims they go away by themselves in the next few days.

Overall, if the bubbles really do go away in the next few days, I'll be really happy with my purchase.

Will keep you posted anyway. :)

P. S. If you're wondering, yeah, pen and pencils work just fine, I'd say better, since you don't have to worry about the screen (or screen protector) getting scratched... :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
Just replaced my old screen protector with the glass m. And it is just so annoying to see the sides not sticking. So effing annoying.

ಠ_ಠ

On mobile....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
I spent way too much on my Armorz glass screen protector, but it fits perfectly and is really thin. good quality and feels like iphone screen. sturdy and slick. some finger printing but wipes off with ease. no problems with adhering except for the corner where I kinda messed it up. not super noticeable but still upsetting given the price. -__-
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Quick update: I ditched the glas.t protector and have gone back to a simple anti glare one, branded Nillkin this time.

I hate the foggy effect on whites, but I love having no fingerprints at all, not having to clean it every two seconds, and not having to deal with several points where the micro bubbles never went away.

Furthermore, I found a slice on the glass protector that seems to have the coating worn off (it came that way, I just realised it was there the day after I put it on), and that slice is prone to be the dirtiest on the whole surface.

I tried to wash it with soap, dish soap, alcohol, nothing works.

I took it off and put it on so many times (after the first time there were always one or two micro dust particles that managed to get under there, and you often you only see them in full sunlight) that the lower right corner would bend a little so that it didn't stick as well as before.

Add to that the WEIGHT of the thing (about 45 grams) and the added .4mm (seems nothing, but they're A LOT on a 6.5mm thin device), I eventually took it off and replaced it and will stay with my plain screen protectors for the entire device life.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
Yeah after just a few hours I decided to remove the glass protector. It just doesn't stick to the corners and edges properly. And the screen feels a bit unresponsive. I just replaced it with a regular matte protector I have as a backup and it feels so much better. Sigh. I wasted 50 bucks in that glass protector. Sometimes I feel like I made a bad decision getting the XZU having to think of all this protection crap. I never ever needed to put anything on my other devices before and those are still looking fine.

ಠ_ಠ

On mobile....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jbdub1771:
yea i have had to remove mine also, it made fps games unplayable because the glass made the screen unresponsive to multi-touch use it was very annoying. i recommend just sticking with regular screen protectors for this device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Unless you remove the anti shatter and don't use two layers of screen protectors...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I didn't have any problems regarding sensitivity of the screen, so I don't think the anti shatter film matters very much.

When you remove the screen protector and put on a normal one you think it responds better but it's just a placebo effect.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271265272358?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I purchase the above glass protector and love it. Applying it was easy and no air bubbles. I have several cases but stopped using a case when the glass protectors arrived. I liked them so much I put one in the front and back. It maintains the slimness of the ZU which I love and offers some protection. I do have phone insurance from Sony. I've had no problems with touch screen sensitivity. btw I have the new Xperia Z Ultra LTE C6806.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Uhm... Add 0.3mm on top of a 0.4mm glasscoated pre installed screenprotector...

Or better yet. Add a 0.7 mm glass screen protector on top of the 0.4 mm glass coated plastic piece of **** protector and you have a whopping 1.1mm screen protection on top of your glass digitizer...

Yeah sure... Placebo...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
By saying that the anti shatter film is 0.3mm you obviously have never seen the tempered glass protector and the original anti shatter film side by side.

The tempered glass is 0.4mm (at least the one I got), and I'd be surprised if the anti shatter film is more than 0.07/0.1mm.

I was stating a fact, or better yet, my personal experience.

If all you have to say is something you read about and have no proof/experience whatsoever, and you say it with the arrogance of a physics professor, I really don't know what to say to you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
Have you removed the original antishatter? No?

Well I have. And the tempered glass protector that one can buy from eBay clearly states 0.7mm.

You claimed that having a protector on top of a protector wouldn't affect touch sensitivity. Purely mathematical, more stuff in front of a digitizer, less sensitivity.

Period.

As you stated. It IS your personal opinion which in this case really isn't better then the fact.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
You know what? In this case, you're right and I was totally wrong.

I replied purely on instinct, following your reply, which you may admit wasn't the best of the year.

My tempered glass is 0.6mm(as stated on the eBay auction I bought).

That doesn't change the fact that it didn't affect my screen's sensitivity. If anything, it was way more sensitive than without it. I mean, I could press buttons on screen just hovering a hair above the screen, one thing I can't say I'm experiencing without it.

Anyway, I would be really curious to see the two (tempered glass and anti shatter) side by side at this point.

To think that the anti shatter is half the tempered one for me is pure madness, but if that's really true, chapeau to you my friend.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
I can understand that the pure glass feel makes the sensitivity feel more vivid.

Heck with just a tempered glass I've never felt such a thing before. Its true thou that the sensitivity with tempered glass feels more "real" then with that shatter proof nonsense thats on from factory.

I took the plunge and removed the anti shatter and boy I do not regret that decision one second. :)

Please tell me where I said im not working on it? You know cause the port was done all by itself...

I mean no disrespect but its comments like yours why less and less people release crap, why not just get it working for myself and thats it... why do other people need to use devs hard work and not give a hoot. Then make threads about where did all the TW devs go? I havent seen what I deem as enough updates or some other ungrateful soundsing posts

[MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION] I am in the same boat as you I have everything working except data/signal.. I have ported from n7100 before but the process seems to be different in this case..4.3. I am still trying to get it corrected with different methods. Can you tell me what you have done so far so we can compare? I started with stock base 4.3 N7100.. Added our csc files, build.prop edits for cdma and a couple lib files and our modem. When I boot it boots fine.. In mobile networks I have option to select cdma/lte but still no signal.. We our missing something that i cant seem to find. Some files that we usually port over have been changed or are non existant in 4.3... and btw what kernel are you using I think this maybe the source of our problem..I can only seem to flash it and get it to boot with the 4.3 stock kernel and I am not skilled or have enough knowledge to know whether kernels have anything to do with lte capabilities.. I would assume so.. And if thats the case we will have to wait for the n7105 leak to get kernel source..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] runandhide05:
Its looking like we will need to wait for a n7105 for the lte.

Using stock kernel. All others fail to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I do have a friend that I have developed a rom with said that he got it booted and signal.. SO let me talk to him today and maybe we can crack this thing.. I was thinking maybe n7105 saber kernel..I will try and let you know.. I have wifi working as well as gps..

Hi!

Is fusion3_yuga_defconfig the actual configuration that is being used on stock C6603?

If not, is there a way to obtain the stock kernel configuration? (it seems that IKCONFIG is not used)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *assa*:
I was wrong. IKCONFIG is used, and I did extract the kernel configuration from the 3.4.0-g43a9ba9 (10.3.1.A.2.67) kernel.

Both the extracted file and the defconfig in the kernel src were *almost* exact match (after running make fusion3_yuga_defconfig).

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kiresu:
Well search is down at the moment, so here goes: I have an Optimus G that finally met it's demise. My glass screen is completely shattered but the image underneath is still clear and no discoloration. Obviously it doesn't respond to touch anymore. Do I only need to purchase a digitizer to do the repair or should I get the digitizer+lcd replacement? I just need a simple clarification.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AFschizoid:
Digitizer and lcd. The lcd on a factory phone is 'glued' to the Digitizer I believe. I couldn't get the lcd off my original evo anyway
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kiresu:
My wallet shed a tear
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Swav3y:
I guess a new phone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
He might as well. Although I'm sure you can heat and remove the glass to attach a new glass if the LCD is still good, the price on the glass for the LGOG is a bit steep as its not just a piece of glass, its also the digitizer. A big difference from a Galaxy. I can easily get a glass for my Note at like 10-20 bucks and just glue it on and be all set. That is not the case for the Optimus G, the glass works as the digitizer which I'm assuming why it's a bit expensive.

Edit: I just looked into it some more and it definitely is a complicated task. In all the how to vids they replaced the whole thing, glass and LCD. I guess that's why it's hard to find just the glass. Most sellers sell the glass and LCD together already.

Edit # 2: I finally found just the glass for $38. It actually was 80 last night but I guess the seller dropped the price.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181219758562

^^^That's what you need. However if you do attempt it be aware that there's no how to videos on separating the glass from lcd. So after heating up the phone to remove it from the housing you're more than likely going to have to reheat the screen again to begin the glass/LCD separation. Oh and you might need some LOCA adhesive and a UV light to bond the new glass in.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] keydel:
you need both >> however i would go for an OEM one ....

i bought a cheap one from china, the ones without the LG logo on top, and it sucks. There is like a small strip that doesnt respond to the touch, its fine because i didnt notice until i started playing with "sketchbook mobile" but still. and it you look at it at an angle through the light its not smooth and perfectly straight like the original one, AND when you tap SLIGHTLY hard .. you see that liquidy effect ... not cool! .. not annoying either .. just a heads up if you do decide to fix it>

Why is that?

Maybe this is related: I was trying different boot keys and once got to the "Hard SPL" screen, USB was connected.
