Leopard Skin = Black like it is not funny

Leopard Skin = Black like it is not funny...not at all
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gcforreal:
what do you mean by that? I'm black and so is my wife and we dont care for that case at all. If you were attempting to be funny that wasn't funny at all..you should be careful with jokes like that as well
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MILJANN:
I don't see nothing wrong. I know a lot of black people who love leopardskin stuff... Not just on phones... Why you are so jumpy? I don't see any insult... Peace man...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gcforreal:
I'm not jumpy and I'm sure its a lot of ppl who will also love it who aren't black ...but no harm done just saying u should probably be easy on those kind of jokes man ..but its cool no harm no foul

Leopard Skin= Most of brand have such design

No matter what kind of skin.....People like leopard,that is why every season,brand will make leopard skin for cloth,shoes,etc

I know a lot of white people who love leopardskin stuff:cyclops: Not just on phones..Why you said black people,because you know more..

You don't see any insult,but i do...Man
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MILJANN:
But I don't understand where is the insult? I live in Europe and I have never see white man wearing leopard skin on anything. i have a couple of friends who are black, and they don't see any insult in this... They just love Tiger and Leopard skin covers... I have noticed that they also love bright and strong colours. That's why I wrote that on this topic... That's my experience... Nhf...

How many of you use your universal's screen with your thumbs???

was just curious :P

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Just thumbs, or do podgy fingers count to ? :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] little_rock:
Shipped with screen protector so no worries
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
was a screen protector provided within the box? or did u order that along?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
My MDA Pro came with a screen protector in the box. Not ordered seperately.

The MDA compact I saw came with one as well
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
I do worry that using a screen protector will leave my screen looking as if I hadn't removed the sticky protector? As they worth getting? and do they make the display a bit fuzzy?

Cheers, Ash
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
I use a Brando. Quite expensive but I can't tell it's there. I wouldn't dream of touching the screen without.

I've used an exim but I can't find them on ebay anymore. They were cheap and great on the magician.

Quality is pretty much perfect, unnoticeable. Good enough for me.

But give the choice, 1% possible screen quality loss or £600 worth of PDA scratched, easy choice for me.

Note, you can use my program VJLumos on the Universal to boost screen brightness, if you must...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sergeantash:
Sounds good, I'll take a look in Google for some pricing

Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
I do almost everything on my Exec using the keyboard exclusively so I hardly ever touch the screen. When I do I tend to use the back of a fingernail to minimise the marks I make.

Had an XDA2 for two years with no case or protector and that survived just fine, so the fact that the Universal can be flipped closed in my pockets means there's even less risk to the screen. I'm hoping it'll be OK.

Incidentally I'm now using hardly any third party software and my Exec is fast, reliable and very easy to use without the stylus. I'm actually thinking I might not bother installing Agenda Fusion even if they release the WM5 version. Dialing a number from contacts with the built-in app couldn't be easier.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
SiliconS, you're like a kindred spirit!! hehe

Agree with everything you've said there. Use stylus / back of fingernail if needs must, but otherwise it's keyboard all the way. I also agree with your comment about not needing any other PIM. I'm sure people using diary events more regularly and intensely will need something more, but for the average user there's no need.

I also have very little 3rd party software on it. Runs a dream.

what is the best screen protector for its price and where can you get it from for the UK?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ArgyleMoss:
I never worry about using my fingers (or thumbs) on my screen, although i should get a screen protector as i had one on my xda2i and it seemed to make it better for scibbiling notes with the stylus.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
When I bought my EXEC, I made sure I already have the screen protector prior to actually getting the device. I try to use the keyboard in most functions as it is intended to. Only about 5% of the time that I use a separate stylus to navigate on certain applications. I don't use the built-in stylus because mine is really flushed to the holder for some reason and I don't want to scratch or loose my grip while taking it out causing my lovely EXEC to fall off my hands.
[Moto X Q&A] Kagoshema:
Has anyone else noticed a popping/snapping noise from the lower back cover of the phone? To me it sounds like the glue that holds the back cover on is not always touching the back, so if you push part of the back towards the screen it sticks to the glue, and then comes unglued later with a "pop" sound.
[Moto X Q&A] Dogbone737:

[Moto X Q&A] Kagoshema:
Ok, so it's not just a one-off manufacturing error. I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to get fixed, after all it doesn't affect structural integrity or anything.
[Moto X Q&A] hbar98:
I noticed the same popping noise when I got my Moto X. Don't notice it now that it is in a case.
[Moto X Q&A] Kagoshema:
makes sense with my glue theory, the case prevents the back from compressing so it doesn't touch the glue. Alternatively the case keeps it always compressed so it doesn't pop later.
[Moto X Q&A] z4iken:

There are several articles about a leaked update file from Best Buy that announce 4.3 upgrades to several devices. Here is a link to one:

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and got my upgrade yesterday via OTA. It appears the leked schedule is accurate so far on the first update.

Good luck hope you get your upgrades on time, it brings out all the capabilities of the Gear.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] silasje1:
Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.

Looks fake to me.

Edit: And the Google edition of the Xperia Z will be updated by google of course... and don't know why it is in here anyway
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
I don't care anymore. OmniRom is gonna be the bomb and after my T it's gonna be a Nexus
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:
I was going to get a nexus 4 instead of my crappy xperia t but no sd card slot was the problem. I regret buying this phone and worst of all I can't unlock the bootloader
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.

The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:
The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?

if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh

thats your problem?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] randymess:
Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:
Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dzadzev:
You should read the first line in that article ...

(with all that typos in the line :P)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] space_eyes:
I also will no longer support Sony's devices after this, kind of a slap in the face. They can take their T and stick it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:
this is what sony deserve after they screwed my over twice. First with my xperia play now with phone. No wonder why xperias depreciate so quickly
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] SammiSaysHello:
Why do we always have these threads of butthurt everywhere?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] adiq_ambro:
Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.

To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.

But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!

Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FaiselW:

Sony promises news on Android 4.3/4.4 plans

I'm really hoping for 4.4, this week it looks like will something finally be announced:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/11/01/sony-promises-news-on-android-4-34-4-plans-next-week/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
that the Z and Z1 will get 4.4 and that the again gets nothing

The T is dead so deal with it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gkkovacs:
I'm not sure where you get your information... I can't blame you for being a pessimist, but nothing has been announced yet AFAIK.

I sincerely hope we get 4.4, as the T is barely a year old and has great hardware.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr_torture:
Everything is possible (including no-more-updates option), but I think we might get at least 4.3 update till the end of year.

Sony announced that they will be revealing plans for 4.3 and 4.4 updates, and considering fact that 4.4 update is probably reserved for Z line of phones, I guess some older (and some new mid-ranger) devices may get 4.3 if nothing.

Xperia T is quite powerful device, even for today's standards, so following pure logic, it should get an update, but...

...if we don't get any more updates, the main thing we can blame, is poor sales number of Xperia T, and again, we can blame Sony for that.

They literally slashed this phone with, I think, the shortest life as flagship that any flagship phone had, since the beginning of Android era.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] r-l:
The T sold not that much phones, so Sony will not do much for it anymore.

we're allready 3 versions behind, so this smells like an LG story
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] quintas84:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Q8-V08:
Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.

The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Deleted member 4859884:
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Q8-V08:
Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.

What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.

That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.

I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Q8-V08:
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I went back and tested my camera in more depth.

When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?

Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?

I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Q8-V08:
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Q8-V08:
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greydelta38:
Time for a rant.

I have heard multiple rumors that bootloader unlocks may be a thing of the past. That scares me. Verizon and AT&T have publicly stated that they are doing their best to keep bootloaders locked.

Last I checked, unlocking a phone that I PAID FOR is not illegal in any way: knowing that, shouldn't I be able to do what I want with MY phone? I can go out and buy performance parts for my Eclipse all day long, and Mitsubishi isn't going to call me up and confiscate my engine if I swap the turbo in it.

I want to know if anyone else has heard anything to confirm or deny these fears--- will we be stuck with stock phones forever, or be forced to buy Google Editions or to use our phones the way we want them to be? I am going to call Verizon and propose a change- for the top selling phones, release a consumer edition on the designated release date- then, at a later date, if the phone sells very well, release a Developer Edition for a different price. That way, everyone is happy.

Okay, rant over.
