[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zorachus:
If I want to use the vision x stock ROM, and go with the stock theme, I would chose the download dated 10/01/13 ? There are two different downloads for the ATT MF3, looks like the theme version dated 09-22/13, and the stock dated 10/01, is that correct ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Yes. But you can use shostock also. Are you using your phone or a computer? It should say att stock and another themed.

I have both S4 and G2

I love everything in my G2 except low-light and action photos...

Also S4 is an awesome smartphone..just look at it's camera...But I hate amoled its unreal colours..IPS from G2 is much better!!!

Anyway it's 2 awesome smartphones;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ravi_mytouch:
G2 vs S4

I have both. Love G2 for its Great Battery, Bigger and excellent display and Flexibility in ROMs. Camera in Low light not good.

S4 has the SD Card and removable battery, good camera. Locked up bootloader and virtually no options for modding. Battery life for me has not been good at all (I am on MJ6 and rooted and Have all multiple issues - not being able to install to SD card, battery life, etc)

I would go for G2 again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brooklynsour:
On s4, passed on g2 cause of its button design and no SD card or removable battery....

bad thing about new s4 is the locked BL but I think your wife it wouldn't be too important I had s3 and s4 battery is amazing couldn't be happier with battery...

Also all the bloat garbage on the stock but once root its a lot better....

I have been in contact with http://theglass-m.com

Here is the response I got "Xperia Z1 will have front and back tempered glass protector. Z1 glass protector is in production. If any news for Xperia Z1 or other. I will update you"

This is good news as the xperia z protectors were top notch. I will report back when I hear more news.

UPDATE

Just received this email

We have launched Xperia Z1 Tempered Glass Screen Protector. (Nano Slim 0.2mm)

http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1

Sadly its only for the front right now but still 0.2 mm WOW

Ordered and will review

So Here is the review. Shipping took about 5 business days to receive. The packaging is nice and premium feeling. The glass is thin indeed, with a nice smooth feel to it. I previously had the Nikklin tempered glass on. They are both nice products but I would say the Glass-m has a better fit. It seems to cover a little more of the screen.

As with the Nikklin it fits fine in my charging dock. I have not yet received the back sheet of glass but I'm pretty sure once that is installed it will no longer fit in the dock. It seems to do a good job with fingerprints but only time will tell how long that lasts.

I will post pics once I get a chance

As promised here are some pics.

The first ones are the nikklin which I liked but the anti finger print coating wore off.

Then I removed the ASF

Then I applied the glas-m
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jeroendh:
The website says is't made of "Corning® Gorilla® Glass"

And on the product package it's says hardness of 9H.

But is Gorilla Glass 9H of not?

Sand have a hardness of 7H, so will sand scratch the glass?

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
I find all tempered glass can be scratched. I had them on my xperia Z for two moths and I would say they are very scratch resistant. I didn't have any noticeable scratches on them. I fond the back protect to take more of a beating since its always being placed on different surfaces. I like the Glass M because its cheap and fits good and yet the quality is equal to Spigen Glass-t. As for sand I would say it still a possibility to scratch the screen protector but stop rolling around on the beach with the phone in your pocket and you should be ok lol
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] juku0022:
Agree, almost tempered glass protectors are almost same,

Diamond (10H) -> Sapphire (9H) -> Tempered glass,

almost they wrote 8-9H, fact;

some wrote 9H, in fact maybe 8.x, just buy rounded tricks or for Ads.

Sands has random 2-10H, so, under sands, no tempered glass can avoid scratches yet.

Sapphire and Diamond can scratch Tempered Glass easily,

however, Tempered Glass cannot hurt Sapphire or Diamond.

(This is my understanding so far, any comments are welcome!)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] JuicyBrah:
Glass and sand are both at about 7H on the Mohs scale, sapphire is 9, diamond is 10.

These screen protectors use the pencil hardness scale in which 9H is about equal to 6.5~7 on the Mohs scale.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] juku0022:
Oh~ Thanks!

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] JuicyBrah:
I ordered the brando tempered glass screen protector and took off the default one.

My question is, is my phone still waterproof or will the screen protector come off underwater?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] bodson66:
Yes
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dazza7111:
so you have removed the one with the sony logo on?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] JuicyBrah:
Not yet but I'm planning to

I CANNOT send/receive mms pictures or group messages.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehumble1:
you need to set up data for that. Do you have data running on it properly and with the right Access Point setup? You didn't give us your carrier, ROM, or really anything to go on. I get MMS just fine now, but it needs to be set up properly.

hi guys

i saw this Xposed Framework from a thread ago and i dont remember which thread anymore. what i want to ask is

is this Xposed Framework compatible with all android devices especially the xperia z1 i am using now? btw it is for customising

the notification bar and menu right?

thanks!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uvaavu:
Xposed Framework is compatibile with almost all rooted Androids devices from 4.1 onwards, however not all modules will be compatible with all phones - many are specifically for HTC or Samsung frameworks, and there are some specifically for Xperia's.

Xposed Framework does nothing on it's own, it simply allows for loading of Modules (most of which you can download from within the App itself), which in turn can customise virtually anything on the phone. Many are for notification/status/menu bar though yes.

One tip though: try (and configure) modules one at a time, activating multiple in one reboot is a good way to bootloop your device.

I'm using a rooted dual-recovery 14.1.G.2.257 Z1 with about 20 modules and everything is working great!

[Nexus 7 General] mariosangiorgio:
I bought my Nexus 7 last year when I lived in the US. I also redeemed the $25 promotional Google Play Balance and I used it but for $0.87.

Now I'm stuck in a very strange situation. The balance should have expired on September 30th 2013, but I still can see it on my Google Wallet.

Unfortunately that's quite an issue for be because in the meanwhile I relocated to Italy and last week I opened a Google Play Developer account.

I'd like to make my account a merchant account but I can't since until I have Google Play Balance I cannot "move" the account from my old american address to my new italian address.

Did Google already remove your expired Google Play Balance?
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
This actually sounds like something customer support can fix for you. Give them a call.
[Nexus 7 General] mariosangiorgio:
After I started this thread I contacted Google but they cannot help me.

They said they are going to introduce the possibility to move accounts but until they do I'm out of luck
[Nexus 7 General] AidenM:
Google has been helpful support wise in the past for me. Just ask them to remove your balance. Trying a new rep a few times might help, sometimes there is someone go goes above and beyond what they are asked for.

I still have like a $0.03 balance and I bought on launch day.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Toolshed11:
I've read in numerous threads around here about using Nova Launcher instead of Touchwiz to improve overall performance. What functionality is lost in going to Nova if any? I'm a little new to all of this so I apologize if this is a rather basic question.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
i seriously doubt it makes a difference over all. only if you're swiping home screens on constantly going back and forth looking for apps will you see a difference. it won't increase you fps in games or make benchmarks significantly faster. i use nova btw.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] SomeGuyDude:
Agreed. I use it for its flexibility with gestures and the like. Honestly hours much time do you spend on your home screen?

I've been hearing you guys talk about it for years now. I tried it before and didn't really appreciate it. Long time ago.

I just slammed it on there and I gotta say, why did I put up with TW all this time!

I set the Grid for my home screen and apps drawer and the Text was perfect unlike the current TW hack.

It imported my TW settings!

You can backup and restore your Setup, Duhhh, freakin' Duhhh... I'm sick of setting of 7 home screens and multiple folders when the ROM chefs start really cooking!

So far I haven't missed much from TW, nothing that outweighs the advantages of Nova.

It doesn't loop around in a circle but I'll live with that if there's not a way around it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] methaq:
If you like the "looping", you can set infinite scroll in Nova Pro settings.

Nova Settings > Desktop > Infinite Scroll
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] ddavtian:
Plus you have infinite scroll for dock too, under Settings/Dock. And don't forget gestures. With 2 simple gestures I hide the notification bar and the dock, and enjoy nice wallpaper on full screen.

I have tried nova launcher several times previously but in another samsung tablets e.g p7500, p 6200 but actually it was a boring trial.

Yesterday I have tried it in my new 601 tablet and it was amazing. I liked so much. Actually there is hardly a minor lag if you look for it carefully.

There is hundred of options to control everything. I think everyone has the new 10.1 2014 edition should give it a try.

[HTC One X] asestar:
Hello my dearest forum! I have a not so simple simple question.

I currently own a One X in white. It is rooted to hell and back running TWRP and Viper 4.04. I was looking to replace it because of battery going bad and maybe get tad more power.

Today I got hold of a One X+ (black) with broken screen for free. (Lucky, I know).

I'm planning/hoping to end up with a working OneX+ with OneX screen, and a broken screen OneX.

Here are the question:

1- Anything stopping me from swapping motherboard+battery from X+ into X screen+chassis?

2- Can I restore TWRP backup of OneX (ViperX rom) onto OneX+ (also on ViperX?) If I dont restore system or Boot partitions?

Thx!

There's a good chance of network frequency incompatibilities if you're going to use an Asian model anywhere else in the world. Not to mention the Region lock, but both can in theory be solved by flashing and rooting.

As for EU prices:

Netherlands €672

Germany €649

Belgium €649

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckwurst:
Do NOT buy in China, as this will be the locked Chinese version with no play store, etc... Having said that, any phone market in China will also have the HK or international version as well (9005)... so if you're friend is smart enough to be able to identify the international version and make sure he/she doesn't buy the China version, this would be a good move. Prices for import phones in China are often quite keen, but then again this comes down to your friend's negotiating power...

I've always found Samsung stuff in Korea to be more expensive than elsewhere, and a Korean colleague of mine specifically bought his S4 in HK instead of in Korea due to this...

HK probably the best bet though. Note, reason is simply that HK has no sales tax, so is always going to be cheaper than somewhere that does... HOWEVER, some countries allow you to get tax back at the airport. For example, if you buy the phone in Germany, but you don't reside there, just show the tax receipt and the phone to the tax office at the airport and you'll get something around 15% of the price back. Note not all countries do this. China doesn't. Singapore does. HK doesn't need to. I think all of the EU does (as long as you're not an EU resident).

I personally bought my N3 in Australia a couple of weeks ago for AUD 880. I then got around 80 AUD back at the airport (have forgotten exact amount but around 80 AUD) so my actual price was 800 AUD which is 565 EUR / 773 USD. Seoul airport wanted over 1,000 USD for it. HK airport wanted around 900 USD, but note these are airport prices and this was days after launch.
