[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I put a gearmaxxx ultra clear screen protector on D1, scratched on day 3 I think, trying to write on the device with a pencil.

Then I got an anti glare no brand screen protector, really good, scratched 5 days ago trying if pencils or metal objects could write under water, as several sites report that as working. Of course it didn't work, but then I obviously scratched the screen protector again.

By then the Chinese glas.t knock off had arrived, so I put that on. Some days later I impressed my dad and my daughter with a pen on it, and she began drawing with the Sketch app.

Wanna know how it ended?

Even the tempered glass got scratched.

Bottom line is, everything get scratched sooner or later.

If you can live with few scratches on your screen and change screen protector every now and then, do as you please, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not writing on the screen with anything besides my fingers anymore, I'm sick of changing screen protectors, and the original anti shatter film on the device is a pain in the arse to remove if you scratch that.

And if you manage to remove that too, you'll most definitely lose your warranty (other than the Sony logo).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Well you could try to find a softer stylus like one on the note 3 though.. ;) or maybe that cp12 embedded stylus could be the perfect solution.. Or like how the zu was advertised, write on the paper on top of the z ultra.. It is meant for carbon copy device.. :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I have been using a pencil every so often and not had any issues with the cheep screen protector i have on mine. How hard are you pressing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
I am almost certain that the shatterproof protector they put on their phones only keeps the shards of the broken glass in, so you don't cut yourself or anything. Shatterproof protectors don't actually stop the phone from breaking, whatever glass Sony is using just must be really tough.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
With some plastic on top I'm sure there is some resistance to shatter because it absorbs some of the shock rather than directly to the glass itself..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Possibly yes but a shatterproof sheet itself does not stop the glass to break, despite the misleading name. It merely keeps the shards in when it does break. I'm sure the Z1's sturdiness is more from Sony's strong glass and frame of the phone than the sheet on they put on the screen

i've tried to select major roads of europe map, from tomtom, 5.1, 5.21, and nothing. I've seen the same map working in hp pda's brother in law, with wm2003se and TT5.21 update. I think the TomTom doesn't recognize this map under WM5.

Anyone tried, yet?

Give me some answers.

Regards

Marcus

Note: The problem is TT5.21 or even TT5.1(I didn't try less) don´t show in switch maps the refered map.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gigino:
Hi

The map for europe is the map Plus that you find on you CD.

Thry is 2 map One is the normal map and one is the plus the plus contains the map of europe.

Ciao

Gigino
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BOSSPDA:
thanks, but problem not solved

under WM5 tomtom doesn't recognize this map

Regards

marcus
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gigino:
Hi

it strange that you still have the problem I use the Xda Exec that ha WM5 and I have no problem.

The directory of the map you have installed what is it called:

It no by any chance called:

Major Roads Of Europe. Because if it is it will never work on the Tom Tom Navigator 5 that is only for the Tom Tom Navigator 3.

You should have installed any map on the cd which has the word Plus at the end example

Great Britain Plus-Map

That cover all the normal road of Britain plus it covers the major roads or europe.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

Regards

Gigino
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BOSSPDA:

I put the iberia plus-map and i´m very happy with the result.

RE: TomTOM Map Selection Problem

Hi,

I have the same problem, with Major Roads of Europe, Scandinavia and Gt Britain.

If I delete tomtom programe and re-install from my SD card TomTom installation, then I can select all maps, this installs version 5.0, if I upgrade to either 5.1 or 5.21 service packs, I can only select the GT Britain map when I try to swap maps in TomTom.

If anybody can help I would be grateful, as I can run my Checkpoint speed camera software on ver 5.0 only 5.1 or 5.21. Thanks :(

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oliver2uk:
Help please,

I have exactly the same problem, found out that only GB and Benelux map works with tomtom 5.21.

I am going to europe tomorrow (20/12) and urgently need help. Please, was anybody able to make this work?

If not, can anyone urgently share GB plus map for tomtom 5? I would do anything for you.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertogl:
Hi!

I've update my I9505 to Stock 4.3, with root. I've a problem. I use semi-protected WiFI (like at University) that works as follows : the network is technically open to everyone, free, but for navigate\download\anything, you need to open your browser and enter your credentials.

Android 4.2.2 on my I9505 connected automatically to this network, so I opened a browser and put my credentials.

Since I upgraded to 4.3, my phone connects to the network, then disconnects after a few seconds saying that you must authenticate yourself, then I have to enter settings (making it pointless to activate the wifi with the toggle in the notification bar), i've to reconnect to the network manually, wait about 10 \ 15 seconds, then I can open the stock browser and connect from there (I have to connect when it says so). This even though I do not use the toggle, when I activate the wifi in the settings, it connects, disconnects, and I have to reconnect again.

Now, every time I connect I lose a minute when in fact it took a few seconds before, there is no way to return to the previous behavior? Even with root solution. To read an e-mail I have to wait a minute for the connection...

thanks :)

Edit: sorry, maybe I had to put this thread on Q&A section, but now I can't move...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy_inc:
Yeah I hate it, the same thing happens on the London Underground wifi. It used to just connect then have the notification telling you you had to log in, which you could then click on. What makes it extra doubly annoying, is that the Underground wifi actually does work for everything apart from HTTP traffic before signing in, so you could just not sign in the whole journey and still get email/whatsapp, but not webpages or facebook etc. Now that it disconnects you I don't get anything till I manually connect it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
To get back to the old behaviour go into Settings->Connections->Wifi - > MENU button ->Advanced and disable "auto network switch"

I found I had to do this to get such networks to work ok, otherwise the wifi network was deactivated

So, I can do a nandroid backup and restore it without brick my phone??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] wesamothman:
This fix is when you get bootloop after you use twrp restore option ...

The restore issue seems to be that the recovery was not successfully developed to the needs of the lte note3 variant.

So then Knox flag is set. And your efs get corrupted.

even samsung operation declines to fix it due to that.

This script that is developed by firasusman. .. thanks to him... can be flashed even from the twrp recovery that caused all issues of that matter only.

Then you can get your device back to life.

For some reason KitKat doesn't seem to like resetting back to Official status, mine doesn't do it either. Buuuut it's possible it'll reset to Official once you use the KK from your region once it's rolled out.

Should I install this if there are no problems with my phone? Can it be used like a preventative thing?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] firasusman:
Its not like to prevent mistake.

Ut recreate and clean the partition.

No harm if you run it without any problems.

But it's useless.

It's just to fix your corrupted efs partition.

Not to prevent it from corruption. .

If you want my advice .

Go to your efs folder and take full copy from it .

Save it in safe hard or cloud .

The only way to find out is try it as I don't have a note 2 or know somebody using it on their note 2. Either way, the op said it's not going to do anything other than fix a corrupted efs partition. If you STILL want to go ahead, you don't need to flash stock firmware, just put the zip file in external sd card and flash through your custom recovery.

I tried to use this script to return my IMEI and baseband and it didnt work, So I compared the the files from Temek 190 fix rar and I found that the EFS info could be found on block 11, as he says that IMEI info is hard coded in the phone. I sideloaded this script with mount block 12 and using Terminal Emulator, I never found the EFS filled with any info. Now I changed the script to block 11, and sideloaded it, and now I find EFS populated with FactoryApp, act_lock,bluetooth,drm,hw_offset, lost+found,prov,and wifi. But comparing to my working Note 2,In still missing 0000000.authtokcont, applied-sdcard-policies,carrier,gyro-cal-data, h2k.dat, imeir,nv.log, nv-data.bin, nv-data.bin.md5 prox-cal,wifi,and w.keys
