but the glass used in Mocolo is better than GLASS-M.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mobile-freak:
hello did someone tried the glass4m Protector on XZU?

How is your experience?

Maybe some pictures?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bchaney16:
Anybody have a picture of their XZU with the glass-m screen protector on? Front + back?

When set on a table with the back protector, does the device sit on the glass protector or on the frame?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
I have front + back Glass-M, and the glass protector is taller than the frame on both sides. I think this is good, since it offloads possible damage to the frame to the protector. The only bad thing is that the glass is so smooth that even on seemingly flat surfaces, the phone will glide across slowly but surely and eventually fall to the floor. I barely saved mine one time. Having a case on prevents this.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emann56:
Taller than the frame? huh? mine is just a little smaller than the frame. Can you provide pictures?

EDIT: Oh you have the Glass-M which is gorilla glass and I have the Mocolo glass which is dragontrail. Do you still have any screenshots? I would like to compare.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I think they meant thickness.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] weseason:
Mocolo and Glass-m is same thickness 0.33mm
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Only for latest version.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rayhighness:
I just installed this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6G99N2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Went on nearly perfectly, and that's from someone who has wrecked every plastic screen protector I've ever tried to apply. Gave up on them yonks ago. Anyway, it fits just right. There is an air bubble, right on the entire Sony logo, so it looks like the 'Sony' has a little glow. :angel: No other air bubbles, they all came out very easily. Phone still fits in the Stilgut flip case. Feels a bit heavier. It's all :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bchaney16:
Not real happy with my glass-m. The corners keep peeling up and will not stay down (at least on the back glass). We'll see how long it lasts... Expected more for the price.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jmsalvador021:
scratch resistant

How about the oleophobic coating? My generic tempered glass is finger print magnet after a week of use. The back has a lot of scratches too.im thinking of getting mocolo or glass m.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I ordered mocolo a few days ago.. I have removed my ASF a long long time ago and treated the glass with gtechniq G1 and G4

http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-cars/kits/g1-g4-clearvision-screen-kit/

It works damn good but I bought the mocolo front and back screen just from curiosity to see what it has to offer :silly:

My goal is to hopefully make my ultra a bit thicker so its easier to hold on to.. some might like it but I think this device is too thin to be honest. I always carry mine around with a 5000mAh battery case on it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jmsalvador021:
Can someone confirm if the tempered glass from mocolo or glass m scratches easily? Im guessing that my back tempered glass uses different material than the front. My back tg has so many scratches while the front is still good. Btw i bought the generic tempered glass and god it attracts finger print smudges its awful.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Oh yeaah!! just put on my mocolo front and back glass :laugh: it was so easy! Wow its like i got a new phone! I'm in love with my z ultra again just like when I got it :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] raudo:
Glad for you :).

I ordered from glass4m the front protector for my Z Ultra, they sent me the back. Almost 3 months have passed and they have replied once to my mails but have not corrected the issue.

The company does not have it together so for anyone having an issue after the purchase chances are that will be left in the cold.

S17 bucks down the drain... :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mangoniter:
I bought the Mocolo tempered glass (front +back) and I'm pretty disappointed.

It took only a few hours of normal use (without case, not in pocket, no contact with keys etc. ) until I had one short, deep scratch und several long minor ones on the front and some more on the back.

Is glass-m any better or does anybody know something more durable?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Mocolo has glass by Asahi Glass (Dragontrail?), while Glass-M has Corning Gorilla Glass. There could be differences in production quality, but it's even possible they're made at the same factory. I've tried searching for comparisons between the two kinds of glass, but they seem to be miniscule. I have had the Glass-M Gorilla one myself for about 8 months (front + back). A tiny bit chipped off the bottom of my back one during the first couple of days (which was disappointing), and since I have a slim back case, sand/dust grains (glass' worst enemy) have been gathering up on the back and made some long scratches over time. The front is almost like new, but has some minor scratches. I can't complain, especially since the front is exposed at all times.

In conclusion, I doubt there are noticeable differences between the two, though some reports from users of both seem to point to production faults with certain individual products - perhaps including yours since they probably should endure more wear than that. You should consider filing a complaint if it really is worse than you think it should be. But really, while glass can take a beating and won't be scratched by knives and keys, some things - like sand - can destroy it pretty quickly.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mangoniter:
Thanks for your very detailed answer.

I contacted Amazon about it but I doubt that they will offer me a replacement.

If this is the case I'm gonna order the Glass-M and hope for the best.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] couldnthinkaone:
cheap eBay kit...

Had it on for two day and lots of scratches, especially the back. Slid out of my pocket in the car and cracked front and rear...oh well. $11 shipped was cheap. Ordering expensive kit now...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] anjath:
Tempered glass screen protector or plastic protector?

I went through the entire thread. Lot's of interesting things to learn regarding the glass protector. So I would like to know which option is better in the long run and without removing the Sony screen protector (with the logo). Is it glass or plastic? And why?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] longballs:
I had the Mocolo screen from Glass4M for about a month. The surface has the best feel of any device I've tried, but I did get some scratches. This happened when my phone slid face down on a not-so-clean hardwood floor. The next time I dropped it (from a seated position) the screen cracked. I believe this was because the screen was touching the edge of the phone. I didn't manage to put it on straight. So when I dropped it the corner impact went straight into the screen where it was touching the phone edge. The small scratches acted as initiation sites for the crack.

In conclusion: a great screen that I consider buying again. Maybe I'll get several so I can replace as I scratch it.

I have a thinner protector on now, 0.2 mm from mytrendyphone.no. It's made in china and called "Premium tempered glass screen protector". No scratches after 3 weeks, but the oleophobic coating is not good. I get about the same amount of grease on the phone as on the original Sony protector.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bttcp12:
It isn't as crazy at it sounds, I've have done it with mine, and the result was perfect :D.

I'm from Spain so i buy it here http://www.ebay.es/itm/361040738923

It is a tempered glass protector, the best decision.

It's been a month with it, and all it's been perfect zero scratches, still a perfect and clear view, pretty smooth feel, and I still can write with pencils :p.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ankitsxperiago:
I'm from India and i want a tempered glass protector. Can you tell me if the screen (with tempered glass) would crack if it drops....

Post a link to buy tempered glass...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] weseason:
Hi have use mocolo glass protector over 1 year. The asahi glass is really protector my phone and smoother feeling. Free shipping to India :)

protector with NO cutouts???

Has anyone found a tempered glass screen protector the DOES NOT have the proximity sensor and/or front camera cutouts??? I'm tired of having to clean out the dust and dirt from the prox sensor cutout...I just want a flat, rectangular protector with no holes... :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Well....you can always email some company to ask them if they can make a custom order for you :good:

I just ordered my second set of mocolo screen protector front + back! I really like it. Can't be without it as both sides has cracked so its time to make it look like new!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Seems to be pretty cheap! I must replace my current one soon so maybe I will give it a shot. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
It has really been a lifesaver for me and it also gave my device much more of that premium feeling than before. It just feels like im holding something very expensive :silly: ...well but on the other hand Its my first time buying one of these "hardened glass screen protector" I just though of it like its another one of those gimmicks to steal money out of peoples pockets so I don't really have much to say about if this brand is better than the other. But just that glass screen protector is the way to go IF you want a screen protector!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ferg8080:
I'm going to go for the Mocolo Premium Tempered Glass BUT I plan to put it on over the already very lightly scratched Sony built in protector. I don't feel this should be a problem as scratches on previous screens have miraculous disappeared when I've applied other screen protectors in the past. I have a PeaPod Rock-Grip Series Textured Hard Case which rises about 1mm above the original screen anyway so the additional tempered glass screen should be fine.

Does anyone think leaving the original Sony protector is a bad idea? Will it negatively effect sensitivity?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I personally never had issues with sensitivity and I just got the Mocolo and it feels and looks great. Better than the super cheapo ones I got before.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ferg8080:
Hey Shaolin,

Did you put the Mocolo over the existing factory screen protector on the Z ULtra?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
That is correct.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] couldnthinkaone:
I also have glass over the stock plastic, and no issues here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Has anyone tried reapplying the mocolo screen protector? Is it like possible to remove it and somehow clean it from dust?? I have particles and dust and things that I just hate!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
Yes mate great screen Protector but you cannot reapply, its a once off aplication
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] weseason:
All the brand , cannot reapply for use. When you remove it than will more dust.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingkee:
I ordered Glass M one which costs $37 after shipping.

Hopefully the easy clean layer stays longer like Mime on my G4 which has almost no grease.

I wish Spigen or Mime made one for Z Ultra because I am pretty happy with both (former for G3 and latter for G4).

Currently I put on China made which has the back one cracked for reapplying and the front switched twice due to easy clean layer fade which looks awful.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
You can reapply them... I did it... but its a bit of a hassle...

First thing is trying to get that thing off without it breaking, also be VERY carefull that you leave the edges clean, otherwise it will not fit flush anymore!

the after you got that thing of, clean both, your phone and the screen protector in clean, pure water.

Then put the both underwater, and make sure theres no dust particles swimming in the water, and apply the screen protector under water...

Push it onto the phone good, pull em out of the bath, and now take some old credit or id card and push all the water out

result: perfectly clean, reapplied screen protector
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] szaim:
I have Glass M on the front of my Xperia Z Ultra for about 4 months and recently a thin crack on the Glass M developed across the screen. I guess I have to be grateful that it protected the device's screen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys

So the title says it all really

I can get both for around the same price, a couple of £'s here and there difference

I love the Xperia Z ultra because of the thinness of the device and how powerful it is, im not to fussed about the camera or that it has no flash. the battery life looks good too, and i must say the screen is the best feature with that X reality engine and Bravia engine, it looks amazing.

Bear in mind im getting either or after xmas, 6 months later im due an upgrade so should i go to a 5" device now and then bigger in June when my contracts up

I love the Xperia Z1 because its still pretty thin and has the same specs, battery life looks to be around the same, and that camera would probably come in handy eventually

what do you guys think?

Ive posted this in both Z1 and Z Ultra thread to get an idea of which to get

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Sony store. You'll pay a little extra, but then you have peace of mind.

I got mine through an online store. Saved $100, but ended up paying more...

Sent it back for repair, had to pay for it to be send back to me... and 7 weeks later its still not arrived back.

** DO NOT BUY FROM THEM **​
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It all comes down to size and screen (and camera).

- If you want a phablet, get the Ultra

- If you want the best screen, get the Ultra

- If you want the best camera, get the Z1

That's about it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nathlynn22:
Depends on what you want more now a big screen or small screen . And the type of phones coming out in sort of 6months time. I have my xzu and HTC one at the same time and it's pretty awesome. But I would say xzu is great because it's very big I use it as a video player audio book player and mostly satnav in my car for work. Only problem with the waterproof Sony's is the sound quality I'm not fussed about loudspeaker but the actual phone headset in call is dreadful.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JackHanAnLG:
I think ill get the Z ultra xD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
I think xzu is better because you get more screen size with better display but with cheaper price (at least xz1 is around 150US$ more here) phone camera can be easily fixed should you choose to buy qx devices. So unless you have problem of small hands, xzu is a better way to go.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] trooper1414:
I had the same confusion as you.... I picked up the ZU and never once I have regretted getting it.... The camera to be viewed over the phone is Ok... Noting great and that's all I use it for.... So I'm fine with it... Over ZU demands a lot of attention.... Everyday for the last 2 months.... People have come up to me and said... Woaahh that's amazing... It's good to have a phone that not only is good but actually does turn heads and I'm glad I dint go with the note 3

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza7111:
After I got the Z1 I had a feeling of going bigger and nearly swapped. The big one is cheaper to buy sim free but was dearer on contract. Thought I would like the pen writing thing and big screen but after watching a load of youtube videos it's just too big for me and my pocket. I realised when I was at shops and even z1 was stretching my pockets. Got over the idea now. Think I would need both and use z ultra like a tablet in the house. But then I would just get a tablet in the first place lol.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .Heathcliff.:
If you're upgrading in 6 months' time anyway, I'd say go for the Z1 now, being the more recent of the two, and see if you can get your hands on the Z Ultra 2 (or whatever the Ultra's successor will be called), which should be coming out roundabout that time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAddYE:
If you don't care about the camera go now with an ultra. Now is a Google play edition and you'll not die forever like us to get a miserable 4.3. As you know the device is magnificent. If wasn't for the fact that I need a good camera. Ultra will be on close eyes my choice.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hhwong:
Hi, I just flashed the 4.4 official image from google. Still on stock recovery.

I do plan to install custom recovery to flash some custom rom now.

However, when I try to plug my tablet in laptop (windows 7 64bit), all i hear is that ding sound, hover over the usb devices i would see nexus 7, but it is not showing in the Windows Explorer.

PTP would show, but MTP wouldnt, with or without usb debugging enabled.

I tried to update my usb driver from google via SDK, i uninstalled first before upgrading so its a clean install, however i am still stuck here.

Any other solution?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Duffmantp:
If you have Wugfrest Root Kit, in there Click Full Driver Installation Guide - Automatic + Manual and follow his instruction.

Or you can uninstall the driver and update the driver yourself to a specific location on your computer. (this method i used) I run Win 7, and it would detect Nexus 7 but fail, when it told me to update driver i went to the folder where i put the drivers. Eventually you will find the right driver. Its a pain in butt to get the drivers to work sometimes.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] hhwong:
I manually updated the driver from the SDK and it worked, not too ure why exactly......but oh well.....its working as MTP with usb debugging enabled now :D

Looking for an app suggestion folks, the one thing I really loved about my old htc with sense was the way it organised all my emails, text messages, Facebook updates etc and attached them to the relevant contact card. You could go into a person's contact card and see their latest status, public photo gallery, call logs and messages etc no flicking from app to app to find out did that person text me or email me or messenger me.

Any suggestions of apps to add this sort of functionality to my S4?

I'm not rooted and still under contract so wouldn't want to so no custom room's please.

Thanks

I have tried every version from the PA Gapps to the official CM Gapps from the wiki. All of them install just fine, however the apps FC, and setting up a Google account ends with it saying there was an error communicating with the servers.

Any help getting Gapps to work? I would like at least the Play Store so I could manually install the others.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ulev:
Are you running ART? If yes, have you resized your cache partition?

The PAGapps package in its native form is too large for the SGT7. Have you tried BaNkS 11-26_GApps_Core_4.4_signed? Never experienced a problem with this one on the latest ROMs from terenceng or storm31.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] furmada:
Will try the BaNkS Gapps

I am not running ART. I will try the Gapps you listed and see if they work.

Edit: They do not work. process com.google.process.gapps stops each time I go to add a Google account.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ulev:
I suppose you should start over again and make sure this time you factory reset (wipe /cache, /dalvik and /data) and wipe the /system partition too just to be safe before you flash the ROM again. Then install the core Gapps again. I haven't seen dirty flashes work with any of these early 4.4.2 ROMs yet. You can use the latest ROM of course which is now 12-16 and offers the easy conversion to ART without a need to repartition ever. This seems to become the new thing...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] furmada:
Will try the new ROM

I always wipe everything before flashing, especially if I have problems. I will try the newest ROM and let you know how it works out.
