[Nokia Lumia 800] RoN_HD2:
I've had the Lumia 800 for coming up to two years now and shortly I'll be due an upgrade. I'm tempted to go for the Lumia 925 as I like the layout of Windows Mobile. I would hate to go back to a none windows phone with their rows and rows of boring icons which don't do anything. However, I'm acutely aware of the shortage of major apps for Windows Mobile which was slightly holding me back, that is, until I purchased a Nexus 7 a few months back. The Nexus Tablet now gives me access to pretty much any app I desire. Therefore, I'm now pretty close to deciding to go with the 925.

I just wondered if any members had done the same upgrade, from the 800 to the 925, and what their experiences have been, good or bad. You will know that Lumia 800 users were recently upgraded to Windows 7.8 as opposed to the 7.5 version after Microsoft saw fit to leave us behind with the advent of windows 8 mobile. Following the 7.8 upgrade I now have access to re-sizeable tiles etc. and various other things found on Windows 8 mobile, so I have a slight idea what windows 8 mobile might be like.

Basically what I'm wanting is for somebody to say, yay it's a good idea, or nay, it isn't.

Many thanks.

Shaun :)

Happy

Shaun,

I just swapped from my trusty 800 to a black 32GB 925 on VF UK. I got a 6GB 3G + 6GB 4G deal. I did consider getting a 1020, which I think is even better, but right now they are just too expensive for me.

The 925 is brilliant, I'm running the GDR3 update. Getting WP8 apps like Bing News and Nokia Camera, and all the other little tweaks has made my phone experience exciting again.

Looking back at an 800 now, makes it seem like a small, toy'ish phone by comparison.

No regrets whatsoever.

My operator tells me the Nexus 5 doesn't have Sim toolkit, which is needed in Kenya for mobile money.

Please do share your tricks on having sim toolkit on the device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markild:
I brought this discussion up over on r/Android (I'd like to link it, but I'm unable to post links, search for "Does the Nexus 5 come with the sim toolkit "app"?").

There seems to be some mixed reports about this, but it definitely seems to be present on some devices.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markild:
After some more feedback, it seems that the "Sim Toolkit" app i present on the Nexus 5, as long as the sim card/network carrier supports this feature.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brealorg:
I have the SIM-Toolkit from Telenor (Norway), apparently bundled with my SIM-card or something.

Tho, having some network issues ATM but that can be due to the fact that I have a American Nexus 5 and not the international version.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brealorg:
Oh, apparently the issue was with my bank and that I did change my SIM-card. Other than that it works flawless for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramware:
That's interesting - might indicate an issue between LG and the operators here - LG haven't really being keen on their devices in the African market - In contrast the Galaxy Nexus was widely available here
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwamayze:
No, my network supports Sim Toolkit. In fact, i use the same SIM on my iPhone and i have access to Sim Toolkit functions but when i insert the SIM in nexus 5 i don't.

Who is XtremeGuard?

The first XtremeGuard products were created in 2008 when the founders became impatient with the quality of existing screen protectors for cell phones. Knowing that better materials existed to protect electronic devices, the founders researched a high-quality, ultra-durable film based on the films designed to protect the leading blade edges of US military helicopters.

how does XtremeGuard compare to CitiGeeks?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
I've never used CitiGeeks, but XtremeGuard is pretty damn decent, specially for the price point. They're affordable and in my opinion, do deliver.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hlaalu:
My last experience with these guys was for my Nexus 10. The first 2 or three protectors they sent did not have the cutout, so basically just a blank sheet of film. Then they sent me one that was all crumpled up and had weird residue all over the film (lol). But to their credit, they kept shipping for free and finally sent me a decent set. I've also had them on my Gnex, Acer A500, and Droid X. So I still recommend them.

condemned intoou

Turn the device off and place it in a box of instant rice and wait 24 hours. It will help pull any remaining moisture from the phone.

It does work - If it makes you feel better, I made this mistake a few years ago when I put on my first wet screen protector on my S2.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rsa 329:
In case this code isn't working any longer try this on "75off"
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rsa 329:
I wouldn't spray the screen. Also, as you squeegee the screen...use a dry cloth and absorb INSTANTLY any moisture that is squeezed out!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] oupavoc:
Ordered two screen protectors, just encase I mess up the first one! They came in the mail today. They included two back protectors! Awesome company!!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
ive had mine for a few days and i also have the spigen neo hybrid and they dont seem to get along.

you cant tell i have it on until the bottom right corner comes up a bit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
So what's the water even do? Can it be applied without water or the water is a must? I was thinking that the water was just if you wanted it to place better so you can move it around.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] psyclist:
Use the water...trust me, just watch a few videos on doing it first. Key is just enough water and try and dab it up as you squegee it out the sides. no bubbles in the water either! dust free environment and freshly washed hands (soap and water). Will look ugly for the first 24 hours, it will relax and smooth out and the remaining trapped water will evaporate.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LNJ:
Too bad this screen protector makes the screen feel like crap. Not to mention how smudgy it gets. Good for protecting the back though cause it makes it grippy!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] royalslim:
I just ordered 2 of them and 85off is still working.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cephaus:
has anyone received a tracking number with free shipping?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] hamlet84:
Hi guys,

I received the screen protectors yesterday, and here some considerations

- packaging: very minimal, but you can find almost everything you need

- quality of the protector: good. The cutoffs are quite precise, the size is good (not perfect but perfect)

- I like the wet application (its very easy and you can try several times).

With respect to cover compatibility, as you can see from the picture (there are still two mini bubbles, that I hope will go), I was able to use the Cruzerlite, but only after several tries. I suggest you to put the cover when the cover is a little bit wet, so you can move the borders.

The final result is very good, but after using for two weeks without the protector, now it's a little bit strange, so I don't know if I'll keep the protector :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:
Ordered mine on 11/2. It's still in processing state. I sent them an email but no response yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raniosman:
Ordered Full Body + Install Kit x 5.

Today, got the parcel in the mail. Only 5 full bodies and 1 install kit. wtf is this ripoff?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chrisjcks:
I've tried an xtremeguard back ...

Not really edge to edge like the images I've seen from bestskinsever customers.

Also, BSE protects the sides and camera housing too.

So still think I'll order a BSE eventually.

Little disappointed in XG for their measurements.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] someone0:
Order two full body kits for $3.30. Even though I only have one N5, I figure I will screw up the first install anyway.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Same here. I ordered 3 full bodies and only got 1 install kit. I was going to give one set to a friend, but we can't share an install kit. They dropped the ball on this one to save a few pennies.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
I got my screen protector on Tuesday and love how it looks! Although I kinda butchered the skin when using a credit card and kinda gouged the screen protector. Which sucks because I did one hell of a job installing it.

I suppose there is no way I could remove it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hackdisk:
What's actually in the install kit? The cloth and plastic card?

The cloth should be pretty common stuff, even if you don't have it just wipe with some other cloth.

I'm sure you could wipe it clean with a damp cloth (you are applying the screen protector wet anyway...)

As for the plastic card, it's useless. Just use your finger or credit card or whatever to squeegee the water/bubbles.

If you insist on using the "original" stuff, just apply your protector first then give them to your friends lol

Put a sticky tape on the screen (part of the tape sticking out from any edge or corner) and lift.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] britoso:
My Xtreme Guard "LG Google Nexus 5 Screen Protector" arrived and I just applied it.

What a nightmare. Applies easy enough but they don't tell you which plastic sheet is the actual protector. :confused:

The instructions do not mention which of the two clear plastic sheets is the actual protector. No diagrams. One of the three plastic sheets is frosted but the other two are clear.

one of the clear ones is sticky and soft, I tried this first and it stuck well.

the second one is harder. I removed the soft one and applied this.

the hard protector keeps sliding off the glass (wtf). it also scratches easily with just my fingernails.

Went back to using the soft plastic one. (Update: this is the correct sheet. its the one in the middle)

Review:

The feel of the screen is more grippy (less smooth) than the naked glass. Applied cleanly. No bubbles.

It only mentions wet application in the installation instructions :(

To remove, you just need to wet your fingers and lift by prying with your nails. No need for tape.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
The point is is that they advertised something with each kit and didnt provide it. If I bought it for someone knowing I would get the install kit to give them also, then I should get it. I shouldn't get one install kit for three items I paid full price for.

Go to McDonald's and order three sets of fries. If they gave you one packet of ketchup, would you say forget it, and use the bottle of ketchup you keep in your pocket? Of course not, that's ridiculous.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
My screen protector I bought from them on eBay turned out to be all scratched up. Now I'm waiting for a response about a replacement or a refund so I'm still using the stock protector with the annoying nexus written across the screen. Honestly if they hadn't put that there I'd just keep it on and not even but another one because it's out on perfectly
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
Their Web site clearly says you only get one install kit.

That said I used a debit card rather then their cardboard squeegee anyway so no big deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jeremykersh:
Just wanted to post a review/

First impression I was slightly confused as I peeled the protector apart. The side I was used to putting on my phone was not the protector.

The actual screen protector is flimsy and rubbery side to my surprise but its easy to tell as the other side is not sticky at all. (as others have said)

Wet application went perfect 0 bubbles or anything probably the best and maybe easiest application I have had. (due to the flex in the rubber i guess?)

Fit seemed perfect (size and cutouts edge to edge screen) as for the back its a little more difficult w/ the curves and nexus logo/ serial number not completely flush so it looks

like bubbles even though it is not. Not really that big of a deal for me as I use a case anyway.

I would not recommend the back protector.

As for my perfect fit of the screen protector If you use a case you may want to slightly trim the edges as when I put the phone in a case the lip of the case kept bending the edge of the protector up.

*So Trim slightly FIRST if you use a case.

Not really a fan of rubbery or tacky feel it makes sliding your finger over the keyboard difficult. Maybe it will go away with a bit with time if not its coming off.

Just wondering guys, when you guys applied the protector did you guys leave it overnight or 24-48 hours to let it dry? Would applying it and leaving it in a bag of rice overnight help it a little quicker?

I have my protector but not my phone yet, comes in tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biggiestuff:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] james11417:
Just put mine on and do these suds ever come out? Good thing I bought 3, I guess.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
It will come off. :P I have tried these on like 5 of my devices and yet I never learn. They scuk people in with their massive discount offerings but in reality they're not worth it. The vast majority of people will end up taking these off - unless you have not tried any semi decent screen protectors, or if you love your devices screen to feel really sticky/cr@ppy .
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dan-fish:
To get rid of the rubbery feeling, furniture polish does the trick nicely. Haven't tried it on xtremeguard though but it worked on my cheapo protectors
[Nexus 5 Accessories] onmike:
This company has great service, but these shields take away from the device.

I forgot how smooth the glass was and after removing the screen it was very yellow.

If you swap these out every month it's doable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] randpost:
It is doable. I just picked up 6 front protectors for 4.20 shipped. Black Friday 90% off just started. thats 6 month worth of screen protector at your stated replacement rate.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
What are you talking about ??

I've had xtremeguard on 5 of my devices ( including Nexus 5 ) and they have always comes in a plain envelopes ( cost savings ? )

but... it has always been 2 pieces for each application ...( 1 frosted backing & 1 clear protector itself ) ... just wet fingers to seaparate, and apply & squeegee ...

FYI... For all these "wet" application protector ( xtremeguard, ghost armour, skinomi, zagg...etc)...They all are the same/similar and advertised as protector for military helicopter blades ...etc ( I myself find XtremeGuard to be less orange peel effects though :good: )

I got confused by your posting though... or am I reading it wrong ?? You stated there are 3 pieces together ??? :confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] britoso:
yes there are 3 pieces, two are left over to be discarded after application.

Maybe you did not peel the second layer and have two on your glass?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UnicornKaz:
I don't think so... and I'm NOT about to find out by trying to peel my perfectly applied protector.... all videos on these wet type of application protectors never shown to be 3 pieces...always 2

here's a couple of examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YBmcr8YYm0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj-Wb-ciBb8

you find me one video on these wet application that show 3 layers then :p

can others chime in on this ??

On the dry regular screen protector most came with 3 layers like you have described ( 1 to protect the adhesive, the center actual protector itself, & the final top screen cover after finished applied )

On the WET stuff...there is only 2 altogether !!!

was hard enough separating the 2 layers...not sure how you managed to get 3.... could it possible that you have separated the "adhesive" from the actual protector itself ??? impossible :confused::confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bouwouh:
Yeah, only 2 pieces as mentioned by UnicornKaz.....

Got the XtremeShield and I really like it so far. Really good&tight fit and not so rugged, for 1/10 of Zagg's price (I used the 80% off for 2 at that time). Good going.

I use it in combinaison with a Ringke Slim cover case and, well, there is no problem.

Recommended (seriously, it doesn't cost much anyway...).

After browsing through here I found this thread so I will post my question here lol.

I've been looking at Screen Protectors for the Nexus 5 & I came across the XTremeGuard screen protector. I've searched around and I can't really find no real answer to my question. My question or questions is 1. Are XTremeGuard's good? 2. I heard Wet Screen protectors tend to leave a residue on the screen after you peel off the protector, is this true/a big deal that can be prevented?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Exel:
1. Considering the price, they're good. There's better ones out there, but they will do the job.

Update on shield

I ordered one of these a month or so ago and fitted it.

It was great but half a millimetre too long and got dust in it.

It also reduced the surface glass feeling too much and got trapped in cases (as slightly too long).

I re-fitted it twice but have now binned it.

I have another spare but have not fitted it.

I got a great shield from gadgetshield in india which is on my nexus 4 and is better quality material.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] imyourpriest:
Just got it in today, the back was quite a pain to get on, but both are on and very good! I barely notice its even there. And usually I'm one to hate screen protectors. Its doing a great job of keep fingerprints off. Also fit perfectly. Be warned that the back one gives the back a sort of glossy odd look. Feels good and protects it, but doesn't look nearly as nice as the original matte. And I have a spare set, for $2.20 you can't beat that. This is a great screen protector not even including the price. Definitely a good buy for me.
