Agree with buzz - you can be as carful as u want but dust on screen makes stylus scratchy.

Having said that, for my last few XDA's they all got scratched, THEN I put a protector on and they look as good as new!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] abp:
I have had 5 or 6 different pocket pc's over time all of them for at least a year, i never ever used a screen protector and when i sold them they were almust as new without scratches.

My universal wont get a screen protector on that gives me a bad picture quality. i wanna enjoy the great screen on the device, not walking around with a bad screen so the next owner can have a good screen.

just my two cents :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] frozenwaffles:
the best screen protectors are made by martin fields....you wont even know its there!

go here to buy... www.doml.com
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
yeah - that's the type i'm using... although i'm really not getting on with it - like i say, it feels really thick, and seems to make the screen far less responsive

i spent quite a bit on it, though - so am reluctant to try buying others, and gotta admit, i was hoping to hear that i could just pull it off and forget about it
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] teckyiau:
you should get one from Brando HK. their ultra clear screen protector is the best protector I have ever used on earth.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] colinbate:
Yes you should use a screen protector.

Not only does it protect screen it also reduces glair very usefull if you use GPS. I got mine from www.proporta.com ther also do a nice case.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davidberrysmith:
I had a wallaby for 12 months & a himalaya for 18 months, both without protectors & both looked fine when it came time to sell. I carried them in my pocket with the screen facing my leg. As you can close the screen on the exec, I'm even less concerned.

However, the anti glare part sounds like a good thing

[HTC One S] a10ciod:
Is there someone out there who can help? In tweeking with my phone, I some how got my HTC One S to only boot up in TeamWin Recovery Only. Dont have a clue where to go from here. Your help would be much appreciated, I wish there was a way to compensate you for your time/knowledge.
[HTC One S] evrycard:
Hook your phone to your computer via USB. Mount the USB drive in TWRP. Now you should be able to put a ROM into your phone then install it.

and keep reading because your problem is pretty vague.
[HTC One S] a10ciod:
Thank you for your reply. This all came as a result of trying to get the phone back to Factory as much as I could. Now every time I turn the phone on it just boots up in recovery. Ive never flashed a new Rom ever.
[HTC One S] tsphan:
This happened to me once when I accidently flashed the recovery.img into my boot partition!

I meant to do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but stupidly did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img".

This was using the AIO One S toolkit and I just accidently hit the wrong button. Everytime it'd boot it'd just go straight into a recovery. Try to reflash a proper kernel for your phone.

I'm assuming you didn't backup your partition.

If you're on a JB Sense4+ rom, go ahead and use the Bulletproof kernel and see if that works.

Here I just made a simple script using CASCADE by [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION].

It will flash TWRP onto your device.

Make sure you have adb drivers,java installed and USB Debugging enabled.

Just run the script and it will do the job.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] 6pool:
One of my main issues with the 2012 Note 10.1 was the non linear response of the wacom digitiser at the edges of the screen and the poor resolution of the capacitive digitiser causing straight lines drawn with the finger to become wavy.

Can someone with the 2014 note comment on if these issues are still present?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
Huh, I didn't know this. I was always really annoyed by the performance of my touchscreen in terms of touch and thought it was because I had bought a refurbished model. I guess I'll be able to report in on this on Friday when i get mine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
That is true of all active capacitive digitizers and possibly all capacitive digitizers. It is supposed to be compensated for in software. For Windows devices there is a calibration tool to update the compensation to fix this effect.

Is there a calibration tool for the Note (any edition)?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] AbeOwitz:
Wacom digitizer pens use radio waves, not capacitance, to determine position. Inaccuracate position reporting at screen edges is usually due to the metal framing used in the LCD affecting the radio levels/timing. The best way for this to work would be to use a non-metal LCD frame, or pack the Wacom grid within the LCD frame, but the Wacom grid needs to be larger than the drawing area, so that's unlikely. (This is why independent Wacom tablets have such a wide border around them.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacom#Technology

This is from my current 10.1, will do the same with the 2014 edition when I get it... (imatiently taps toes on floor...)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
Correct and incorrect. Yes, Wacom uses EM fields and that technology is an ACITVE capacitance digitizer. It is still a capacitive screen but different from the typical passive capacitive screens.

Other than that, we are saying the same thing. This is a physics problem that affects all digitizers of this type and no fault of Samsung.

Is your bootloader unlocked? You need an unlocked bootloader to flash a non-stock based custom roms. Since you can connect it to flashmode, download flash tools and flash back a stock rom. You can unlock your bootloader if you want flash flash a custom ROM.

i would like to know if Ia m the only one, experiencing constant restarts on the phone,almost every single day and more than once.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
hmm sounds like you have some sort of software issue, reflash the software and see if you get this issue again. I've had the phone 2 weeks now and had no weird restarts or anomalies, check my sig it shows what firmware on.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
Your sig is what I have really surprised, o well might do a reflash or something, but the phone has also shut off a couple of times, not sure why, but when I unplug the phone from the charger usually.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator21:
I have advised this to many users and their prob is gone...it happens when we pop the sd card out one fone to another direstly...remove sd card copy the data...only essential one... format it via pc default...n copy data bk once card is inserted in fone and the os has made the relevant folders...keep in mind the trouble comes in folder named android...if u have games they will b in android/obb... copy this folder and once format is done copy it back..... i m sure it will b solved
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
I didnt realize this was giving the problem thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator21:
Jst let me know if it solves the prob.... coz many note users or any user using 4.0+ android forgets it..... nyway hoping for best....m sure it will sort out
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
Yeah I will let you know, besides that, this phone is great, build quality, UI, battery, display, and even the speakers are louder than the G2 and yes I compared them. This is by far the best android experience I had even if it restarted, it is still the best I owned
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator21:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
Well I thought I was the only one, but it seems in android central people are reporting random shutdowns, please let me know if this is a widespread issue, because they also said they dont have an SD card to wipe, so it seems it's not the card causing the problem, but certaintly the same thing is happening to me.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logzz:
I having these issues also, i have left a message on sony facebook page. This is starting to piss me off for a $1000 phone it is not good enough. It is also corrupting my files on the phone
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
Wow that is definitely not acceptable, Im leaning to switch back to the HTC One, but still debating, depends to see how many are having this issue.

if anybody knows let me know if this a known issue or if is affecting only a small portion of the phones thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] predator21:
HERE YOU GO MY FRND

All users who are facing this problem... i have solved it.. the prob is with android 4.0+ onwards... do not pop in mem cards from other fone directly...

take your memory card out and copy the entire card data on hard drive and then format the card in pc with default settings. then switchoff the fone and put the card in it... it will take smtime to initialize the card at first run. have patience and let it create the suitable folders... the data u looking forward to copy is pics, vids and music files... rest stuff is there on ur fone and it will stop rebooting. DO NOT FORMAT THE CARD FROM WITHIN THE FONE... it has been seen that with android 4.0+ they do not format flawlessly....enjoy and ur rebooting problem will b over...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydin:
I have the same problem. My Z1 restarts several times a day. 10 times just today.

I don't have a sd card in the phone, and I never had any sd card. So that can't be my problem.

I don't see any pattern in when it restarts. I can be browsing the web, checking facebook, playing games. Or when the phone just lays on the table. Charging or not charging.

One thing I have seen is that right before it restart the cell signal is gone and there is a sim card icon in the notification bar.

I'm switching cell provider in 2 days, so I will see if it gets any better with a new sim card.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniper1087:
well that doesnt seem a solution for me, I tried what he said and didnt fix my problem the shutdowns happen quite often, I might have to look at a stable device, I may look at the incoming nexus 5, I do like the Timescape UI, but restarting a couple of times a day I cannot agree to that, I had it happen when a call comes in, so it is a problem, because people think I hang up on them.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydin:
I got my new sim card and the phone haven't restarted once!

So it looks like my problem is solved.

The difference between my old and new provider is that my old (OneCall in Norway) is renting net from Telenor and the phone is roaming most of the time.

My new provider (Netcom) has its on cell phone net.

If you have the same problem you could try with a new sim card, or use the phone without a sim card for a day.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0sh0:
I've this problem too. I don't have an sd card in my phone and I didn't move any old files from another phone. I've been getting a random reboots per day in the last 3 days. I love this phone but I'm not sure if I need to return it. It is unacceptable.

*** Latest Build 10-11-2013 ***

For d2vzw! Note the forum you're in!

If you're as big of a fan as I am of KToonsez's KT747 kernel then you'll be happy to know there is now an updated version.

This is a forked version of KToonsez's KT747 kernel with commits pulled from the CM10.2 branch of the d2 kernel.

Disclaimer: Standard disclaimer goes here. I nor KToonsez are responsible for the actions you take when working with your phone. I've done a significant amount of testing and so have others but situations arise where a hiccup could cause data loss, IMEI loss, or phone failure. You, the flasher, assume these risks. Please make sure you backup/nandroid, use nvbackup, etc.

Note:

It has been reported that this kernel will not work with 4.3.1 ROMs, notably the latest nightlies of PAC-MAN. If you're on a 4.3.1 ROM flash with extra caution. If you find otherwise please alert me.

Branch "currentCherry" (my cherry picking branch) CI status:

Branch "mr2" (KT's 4.3 branch) CI status:

Instructions:

There seems to be an odd permissions issue that we've uncovered. Follow these exact steps so when you boot you'll have working cell data:

Reboot Recovery

Clear Caches

Flash your current ROM

Flash kernel

Reboot

Profit!!!

I'm working on clearing this up. I've verified the above process against mastamoon's unofficial CM10.2 10/07 build.

Download Link:

A big thanks to shane269 for helping me test this from a bootlooper to working kernel!

Is anyone not seeing OC working? I have mine set to 1728 but I'm still seeing 1510 in BBS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shane269:
I normally don't overclock my phone doesn't do well with it. I tried 1728 and it wasn't ever using it. Then I bumped it up to 1809 and it instantly rebooted. As expected, my processor just won't do it. After the reboot the phone was still set at 1728 and it was using that frequency. So maybe requires a reboot work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Rebooting seems to make it stick or show up in the apps where I see freq values.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
OP Updated

Went through my cherry pick branch and realized I missed some commits. I missed about 2 days worth of merges at the end of August. These are now all added.

There is a gerrit reviewed commit for touchscreen optimizations (and a subsequent fix for camera issues). I'm having trouble merging this commit into my branch. I'll try to get that into the build for tomorrow.

Thanks!

Followed instructions to the letter and re-attempted 2x and still getting no data when running this kernel. Running liquidsmooth 2.10 final release. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jamminjon82:
He's just been really busy and this guy wanted to put a more recent build out since there have been many commits to cm 10.2

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

Are we able to flash the kernel separately yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Shoot! Ok. Just want to ask a couple of questions to make sure I'm on the same page and I can collect some info to try and figure this out.

10/10 build? Probably a silly question since you posted after I posted the new build, but just checking. :)

Are you using CWM? If you are what version?

Just to be clear, are you flashing ROM and then the kernel in the same recovery session?

I'm not familiar with liquidsmooth. Is the 2.10 release version 4.3 of Android? I'm assuming it is otherwise you probably would have gotten a bootloop instead of no data.

Thanks for the feedback. It's important that I see these. I've been worried sick that there are people downloading this, having this problem, and immediately thinking that I through out something that is bunk. I want this effort to live up to the expectations that everyone has for KT's kernel. Last thing I want to do is turn people off to his great work!

I was able to flash 10/10 over 10/09 without having to flash the ROM and still have data. I have not gone from sans KT to ROM with KT on the 10/10 build.

I'm going to try to get some input from some devs. I originally thought it was the updater-script applying the wrong permissions during the flash. I did, however, change the script to mimic more how LeanKernel does its flash but that fix was put in 10/09. This along with the touchscreen fixes are my top priorities to get fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] no cigar:
See responses below. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quie2TP:
Eclipse build 6

I flashed the new version 10/10 on my Eclipse build 6 which is 4.3. I cleared cache, flashed rom, flashed kernel, and rebooted. No data at all. I then flashed the rom back over the top to get the other kernel and everything is fine. I am using the newest CWM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
New build in the OP.

Also, changelog is in the second post.

Thanks for the reports guys. Researching this issue is proving difficult as no one seems to have documented it in the "usual" places. The only suggestion I have so far is checking to make sure the permissions are correct on everything that is flashed. I took a look at a couple of other kernel dev's updater-scripts and tried to modify this one accordingly. Flashing from 10/10 to 10/11's still gave me working data. I'm trying to follow up with a few other devs so please don't think that I'm not working on this. If you flash 10/11 please report your findings!

Thanks!
