[Moto X Q&A] nicholishen:
A matte antiglare screen protector is a must have in humid climates. Your thumbs glide smoothly on the screen no matter what conditions, and once you've experienced the joy of it, you won't be able to go back to sticky screens no matter the small penalty in screen clarity. With that said I'm very happy with the one I got from tech armor thru Amazon. Oh yeah, no case.
[Moto X Q&A] YabosMcGee:
Smudges make me twitch

Welp, just couldn't do it. I really really wanted to go naked with the Moto X, but I found myself obsessively cleaning the screen from the immediate smudges it left behind. I ended up ordering a Mime USA Ghost Glass tempered glass screen protector (that's a mouthful) http://mimeusa.com/product/moto-x-ghost-glass-screen-protector/ I didn't even know tempered glass protectors existed. It's on the way, and if anyone is interested, I can post back on my thoughts. But, you can find a review here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwv5S-z_2Sg

The ebony back was also getting all "fingerprinted-up", which was, again, causing me to obsessively clean the back (I probably need therapy, or medication). So, after much analysis paralysis (damn you, internet), I ordered a Power Support Air Jacket Clear (not Grip) directly from Power Support http://www.powersupportintl.com/Air-Jacket-Clear-for-Moto-X-p/mmtx-71.htm I've found very few remarks about the Clear, as opposed to the Grip, online. However, what I have found, sounds promising. It seems the Air Jacket Clear isn't as "plasticky" as the Incase Snap Case, and doesn't smudge (there's that word again) as badly.

Both are still on their way. If anyone is interested in feedback, I'm going to most likely give it anyways :D
[Moto X Q&A] scottjb:
I find my pocket keeps the screen free of smudges with no protector on it. I have two Moto Xs, one with the smooth black back and one with the black weaved pattern on the back. The weaved pattern hides fingerprints, the smooth does not hide them well.
[Moto X Q&A] mrtwisted6:
My thoughts exactly. I've tried cases and screen protectors in the past but, the cases make the phone look like sh*% and the screen protectors I feel aren't that responsive for touches. Been bare back for years now (Moto X, Atrix HD, LG Thrill 4G, Backflip, Samsung sumething?) and never had a scratch until now... :angel: not counting the LG Thrill's shattered screen from, falling down the stairs, in the shower, twice, after I told it to shut up...ok I threw it :mad:

Had my X and Atrix screen to screen in the same pocket and looks like some dirt from the yard got between them and scratched the screen on the Moto X :crying: Barely noticeable, but it's there and I know it. It's ok, just gonna sell it to get a Dev Ed or the 32gig Blk/Ebony/Metalic Orange :highfive: Still will not use protectors tho.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hamodi:
hii guys

i was planing to upgrade my phone first it was the Z1

but now we have Z1S and the Z1 compact and i really confused wich one to chose , anyone else here at the same situation ?!

and what you thing guys ? Z1 or Z1 compact or Z1 S ?!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adam20115:
I just bought a Z1 which I'll be using in a few days, so I recommend that, the Z1 compact is the same as the Z1 but smaller with the same size screen as Xperia S, I prefer the Z1 as it would feel like a bigger phone and much newer, like an upgrade.

The Z1 compact may sorta not feel like an upgrade as it's roughly the same size as a XS, but that would be all down to what you want/like :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] o0 Matt 0o:
You could wait a couple of weeks for the sony Sirius, that's what u plan to do. Slightly better than the z1 and android 4.4 apparently.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hamodi:
i'v read about that the Z1 compact screen is better than the Z1 ,, had you compare it ?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] adam20115:
Well the Z1 has a full HD triluminous display, it's full HD so it's not really going to be much different on the Z1 compact.

The Z1 compact is newer so it's always going to have improvements on it, but really there's not much differences at all, it really depends on what you want more. The Z1 is £30 more than the Z1 compact from Sony directly so depending on if you want to spend that extra on a flagship phone then that's your choice :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sanchezyo:
Z1 Compact and Z1S have smaller displays and bit smaller battery capacities, but they have been tested against Z1 and battery life is better on smaller screens. And yes you can wait until MWC2014 is over and go for Z2 then but if ur in a hurry then I would pick Z1 Compact.

Hello.

I am not very expierienced with android and all that rooting stuff.

When i first got my phone i rooted it, just out of curiosity what you can do.

And then, yesterday i got this "virus" kinda thing.

I always had ads everywhere, i thought this must be coming from an app.

Then i open the App-Manager in ROM-Toolbox and see this new app i have never ever seen

"TouchWiz" i thought thats the "virus" so i deleted it.

Now i see this was an important file, and when i boot my android up i have a blackscreen.

I can though pull the black menu down, get into the options tab and open google and all that stuff.

I have Android 4.1.2.

I have a Galaxy SII-I9100

I have Kernel Version 3.0.31 hardcore@speedmod-s2-jb #k5-7

Factory Reset didnt work

How can i install the TouchWiz again?

And if you don't you said that you can acces google right... so from google you go on google play and download a file manager ( like ES Explorer) and then you open the app from google play, search for the app with the file manager and install it

If you have a custom recovery this is the link for the flashable .zip file.... just put it in the extSDCard, boot your phone into recovery ( volume up + home button + power ) and select install zip... choose zip from... and select the file

[Motorola Droid X2] tapcin:
Hi

A relative is going to US this week and I'm thinking of buying this model on ebay to deliver at his hotel.

The droid x2 seems to have good specs and a low price($98 on ebay). I'm not looking for the latest or most powerful hardware(my last phone was a sony xperia x8 until last month because I jumped into water with it). This one seems to have the best cost x benefit for me

I have the following questions before I decide to buy it:

- Does this phone works with gsm networks outside US? I'm interested in using it on brazil.

- Are there good/fast roms that work with it? I care mostly for speed and working features such as camera.

I was considering the droid 3 because it has a phyical keyboard(which is a big plus for me) but I've read that there are no roms that have the camera working(which is blocking because I most certainly would like to use its 8mp camera). I would also appreciate suggestions of alternatives with similar price/hardware.

Thanks

[General Topics] LSmith4285:
Right guys now sure if this is possible or how easy it would be but I'd like to dump all the cabs I install on a new device into one large cab.

Basically I test and evaluate different PPCs and there are quite a few applications I install on a new device and what I'd like to do is just have one cab which would do it all.

Is this possible without a lot of work or could this take more time than its worth?

Cheers
[General Topics] levenum:
Hi LSmith4285!

I'm afraid it's not possible without a lot of work, and maybe not at all. Cab files contain both program files and installation instructions, such as creation of reg keys or shortcuts.

The biggest problem is setup.dll. Some CABs use it to do some extra work during installation. You can't combine 2 CABs that use separate DLLs unless you write your own DLL that does the work of both.

There is a program called CAB manager (http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr), which allows editing of existing CAB files.

But I think your best bet is googling for a PC based installer, which can handle multiple CABs. I saw a free one once, but unfortunately can't remember it's name.

Hope that helps, good luck!
[General Topics] uniqueboy:
Isn't this what the extended rom does when customizition begins? Shouldn;t it be possible to adapt the extended rom installer to install different cabs?
[General Topics] HDuser:
The prob with the ext rom is the size (16 mb) which means that you cant get all your cabs onit.

The ext is that there is no application (that I can get to work) that will batch install cabs with an option of the placement (like in Main memory, sorage or on SD).

For the size problem you can point the autorun to use a different location (as in of the SD card).

For more info check the Blueangel wiki in the exteneded rom kitchen.

For the batch run there is a tool "cabinstl " not that I could get it to work on different locations in batch mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] idtheftvictim:
My wife has a TMO S4 running Wicked V10, and it reboots often, I have tried Ktoonz kernel, I have tried Infamous Dev kernel, and all of them random reboot.

I would like to find a kernel that will be stable, but get her 4 hours screen on time IF possible.

Any recommendations?

Does she need to switch to AOSP/CM for something stable???

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Have you tried adjusting the settings in KTweaker? Not all devices react the same to the same kernel/settings.

Jovy's stock modified kernel is good too.

The Hacker v7 will be hard to come by as it's been removed from db's aroma installer. You'll have to find Aroma misc mod installer v6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] idtheftvictim:
I thought the Hacker 7 kernel was for the international S4?

We can install it on the TMO S4?

I have adjusted settings in KTweaker, and no matter what I do, it still sometimes won't wake from deep sleep, or will Random Reboot at times.

The wife doesn't do much on her phone except read articles on the internet, and facebook, and pintrest.

She has become annoyed, which frustrates me, because I would take her to an AOSP ROM, but she NEEDS the TW features...LOL

I've been running ktoonsez kernel ever since I got my s4. Only once was there a random reboot issue. I never have any issues with his kernels. To the op, the kernel is not always responsible for a reboot. You have to look at the last_kmsg in order to figure out if it was the kernel or not. But I love his kernel, great battery life and performance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HTCMDA:
I've flashed the mk2 baseband modem.bin file and flashed some 4.3 roms. tried several different kernels, ktoonz, modded stock and even a kernel from other forums. All of which gave Sleep of death issues and random reboots. I used suggested settings in ktweaker as well.

and before someone comes in and brings it up. Yes I always wipe everything before trying new roms, and I clear caches and fix permissions after kernels

I installed no 3rd party apps, ran the phone 100% stock (just with root) and it still happened. I'm also annoyed at the window transition animation always reverting back to 1x after setting it to "off"

Ultimately I went back to 4.2.2, cuz I can't really see a difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 other than moving apps to sd, I don't even know what all exactly was changed besides that and the notification bar being transparent now. Is there a list of "whats new" in 4.3 somewhere?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zainmobhani:
Hello there!

I reside in the UAE and recently bought a Note 3 4G LTE SM-9005 (Snapdragon Variant).

I will be moving to Chicago, USA and wanted to know if I will be able to use the 4G. I see that T-Mobile supports 2100MHz, 1900MHz, 1700MHz and 850MHz. The international Note 3, the one which I have supports 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. Seeing that I support one band, will 4G work on T-Mobile? Also, will 3G work? And if so, will the dual 3G work where I get 2 streams of 21MBPS?

If not on T-Mobile, will any other carriers work?

Thanks in advanced, Zain. :)

PS. I have read other forms but seem to get two answers, some say it will work and some say it won't. Just wanted some clarification. :o
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
I use my SM-N900W8 in Hong Kong and it is nearly, if not exactly alike as the SM-N900T. I can say that even in HK I get 4 - 5 bars of LTE, and worst case scenario I get 3 bars of 3G/H+

I also used an N9105 - Note II LTE, with the exact same bands as the SM-N9005 (the one you have), but the problem was that I couldn't get enough bars as my N900W8 did. The phone got really hot when it searched for reception (as it was usually at 2-3 bars), whilst at the same spot, I would get 4-5 on my N900W8. So to answer your question, yes, they should work, except your reception would be lower than an American banded phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Snapdragon is not the International version, your title is confusing. International version is Exynos and has no US LTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Actually, international is N9005, Snapdragon.

The Exynos edition is only being sold in select areas. Most people here use Snapdragon as it is easier to get, but most N900s are found in India. Hong Kong would only sell international phones, unlocked, and they are all N9005.

Regardless. If you have the 9005, you have the Snapdragon, and it should come with LTE, but may not contain the right bands for the US as Neo said above.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H31vry5:
Region doesn't matter in fact I got my device from France, but had Hong Kong firmware on it. Later to get KitKat I flashed Poland firmware.

as for the bands T mobile mainly uses 1700MHz so you won't get LTE doesn't matter if you change the APN, I tried. You will get HSPA+ which isn't horrible, its enough to watch HQ YouTube videos.

idk about ATT though when I looked it up I remembered it being able to, but now that I look at doesn't look like it can...

Hi guys !

With my old samsung phones, i've always had 2 or 3 chargers and i used to keep one in my bedroom, one in my car's usb slot and another in my bag to charge the phone wherever i go.

When i've unpacked my gNote 3 for the first time, i noticed that the connector changed so i thought that my old, expensive cables wouldn't be compatible with the new note 3's MicroUSB Connector.. i was wrong :)

The old cable fits in the highlighted part of the connector in this picture, i tested it and it is working for data transfer and charge. (The other part is needed only for usb 3.0 mode, so we don't need it for battery charge !)
