[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Troute:
I can never fit a screen protector without getting a bit of dust underneath it, I'd hate to do that with a glass one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
I have applied 2. the iphone was perfect, the mega ended up with 1 tiny speck of dust on the top- off the screen, in the black perimeter. It only bothers me cause I know it's there. lol. :D If you use the hinged method, with that extra piece on the free end, and use a tape roll on the screen (tape rolled around your finger with the sticky side out) after you clean it, and right before you peel stage 1 on the protector do it again, you should be good. There are some pretty inexpensive glass ones now available. No way would I try it with a $30 one. I paid $12 for the mega one and that was big $$ for me!! lol:p

I also hear if you put your screen saver on after someone showers in the steamy bathroom it cuts down on all the dust! (tip from G) I never resorted to this, wanting to be comfortable at a table that has been cleaned well.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hristopelov:
you need to use the hinge method, with some tape on the side of the sceen protector/phone before you peel of the bottom part, but theres another trick i learned which i practice and lets me put a screen protector 100% perfect...

you do all this in the bathroom, before you do tho, you turn on the shower with hot water, and let the room get steamy.. picks up all the flying arrownd dust, and your screen protector will be 100% perfect.

try it on, thank me later.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] anonflash:
I have one of the screen protectors, i can say they are awesome, they make your screen feel so buttery smooth, I bought the Glass.m one and i havent got any finger print mark or oil, or even dust applying it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Frezi Evan:
Can you tell me your screen protector product name ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Please see post # 8 also post 1! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Absolutely!!! If you mess up the application, you chalk it up to experience. Although if you are careful, check out videos on youtube, and follow the tips here, you should be good for a terrific application! Just be mindful of dust. That's your worst enemy and will create bubbles. So dust proof all you can. I work on my kitchen table that has been dusted and windexed. dust off all my tools and use tape rolls. roll the tape around your finger and pretend you are removing dog hair. But it is invisible dust. Then go for it! I never tried the shower trick. I hear it really helps. but again, make sure the surface you are working on is really clean. Good luck!

I found mine on ebay. Amazon has them, but charges shipping.

Can you share your screen protector image ?:cowboy:

Tepshine / PThink Glass Protector - Good!

Got this one for my i527 a few days ago:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICZ4GE6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Went on very easily once I removed the hard shell case I had on the phone. Comes with moistened cleaning cloth and microfiber cleaning cloth and I didn't need to mess with hinging or scotch tape or anything else. Used both cloths to clean the screen and quickly applied the screen protector and NO TRAPPED DUST.

It's only been a few days, but no bubbles, no slipping, and everything seems to work with no lag. Even hovering still works.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] carhigh:
just got mine from overseas for a whooping penny. Only problem is the button is sunk down a little bit. guess ill get use to it. putting it on is easy. you can lay it on and slip it around before you push on the middle to get it to set. mine came out perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GnexManVSR:
Just be careful on where you get it, I got my first one and the glass got messed up from the cleaning I did and when I tried to get the lint hair out of the adhesive part of the screen it broke. Now on to my second glass (privacy shade) and the only defect is that it is a little too thick for touch response but it serves it's purpose (touch still responsive at times)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] m.kaya:
i have it on my Mega ( i9205 ) and i must say it saves the life of the screen. dropped it several times and only thing that breaks is the temperred glas so i ordered several times on ebay and apply goes easy, just clean the screen and see if the bottom and the top fits then drop it on the screen

it will apply by it self in a minute

then just gently push it till all ends are applied.

and to be sure use a hair dryer over it.

got my 3rd tempered glass now since 26-05-2014 and still no scratches/burst of something weird its just perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sashusmom:
Why use a hairdryer??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] m.kaya:
to make sure it sticks good on the screen because it has a sticking layer and since its glass it.

thats how i did mine, took me not even 10 minutes to apply and its perfect applied
[General Accessories] Hyflex:
Hey,

Looking for some help and advice on charging solutions.

I have a portaplow 4 port usb plug which outputs plenty of power as it matches both my original chargers but I attempted to use 5m cables and they only outputs 20% of what my original 1my cables output, is it possible to output the same amount over 5m cables or not?

If it's not possible does anyone have any recommendations for the following:

4 x micro USB Charger Cables (for the portaplow)

2 x 5m Power plug extensions (1 output, for the use of two extension

2 x Chargers with cables or without and two more micro USB cables

Please note I'm from the United Kingdom and would prefer recommendations to Amazon products.

Thanks

A genuine question - we get 4.4.2 so whats so great ?

Looking at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Android_4.1_Jelly_Bean_.28API_level_16.29 I'm seeing some optimisation, camera UI and multi-user profiles, sure also less susceptible to viruses but did I miss anything major ? Am I wrong to think that the biggest change might be whatever Samsung add on the top ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] elzeus:
Here's a list of what changed on the note 2 with 4.3 now our device is very similar to the note 2 and there will be even more features/fixes added with 4.4.2.

- GALAXY GEAR Support

- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)

- Samsung KNOX

- Samsung Wallet (Pre-loaded)

- ANT+ Support

- Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)

- Better RAM management

- Core UI elements updated to the ones on the Galaxy S4 (Galaxy S4′s theme all over)

- New Samsung Keyboard

- GPU drivers have been updated (Higher GPU benchmark scores)

- New Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message

- New screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo

- Daydream

- Driving mode

- Actionable notifications

- Move-to-SD-card feature

- New Camera mode : Sound and Shot

- Full screen Samsung apps

- New S-Voice (from Galaxy S4)

- Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded

- Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

- Android 4.3 features – widget lockscreen, daydream
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] enigma_x:
Trim is already there... But support for smart extension apps - most of them use API-level we don't yet have and that's why those apps wont work on our 4.1.2. Biggest thing is to get the device work with smart accessories well and use the full potential they have.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] turbonoma:
will all this be available to the wi fi models?

I read that all will be made available thru the different carriers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MissStreelight:
Yeah...I noticed a lot of excitement about the 4.4 update. Like some not-so-tech-savvy folks, I'm afraid that updates could break more than they fix. I didn't even upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, even though my father really wanted to update it for me - now I won't let him touch it. xD I don't want Samsung to add any new "bloatware" or extra apps I don't want and can't uninstall. I've used my mother's Note 3, and I don't like the different outlay of things. I don't use my tablet as a phone at all, so any updates to do with that are irrelevant to me.

Though my tablet hardly lags, the only benefit I could get from an update is if it made everything run even faster and more smoothly. Oh, and if the notification bar were moved to the top of the screen like on the 2014 Note 10.1, so I don't need to keep accidentally hitting it when I draw. All in all, though, I highly doubt I would install this update even if it became available to me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] 19bjk03:
Ever heard about root? I'm pretty sure that all the "so-tech-savvy-folk" are having root on their tablets, and if not, they don't complain about bloatwares or other things. With the right apps, you can uninstall all these apps, install tweaks or other superb apps like Adblocker or something. You can even change the notification bar if you want. A new update is always good and I think everyone should have the opportunity to test it. And if you don't like it, there is still a chance to go back to 4.1.1 or an older firmware. And please don't tell me this all is complicated, there are a lot of great tutorials here on xda and a great community who are ready to help anyone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danivempire:
I'm really impatient for this update and I will welcome all of samsung's bloatware with little friend titanium backup ^^
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dozeer:
Simply the fact 4.4 finally adds some proper support for printers is reason enough for me to stick to cm-11, even though tethering does not work in the current build for my LTE note.

I might go back to stock once Samsung releases this, so I can have everything working again without losing the new features.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MissStreelight:
I've heard about root, but no, I like my device the way it is. I didn't complain about having bloatware now, only that I was afraid there would be bloatware AFTER the update, like I heard some people had extra apps installed on their devices after an update that they said didn't change much else. Thank you for being informative, however.

Also, I never said nor was it ever my intention to imply that other people shouldn't have the opportunity to test it. In fact, I think it's great that folks are getting what they've wanted for so long. I was merely expressing my opinion about not wanting updates, which I have as much right to state as anyone who does want their updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Cozmo1:
Exactly what I did when I bought two of these (2012 version) sometime ago. I rooted mine and with Titanium I froze all the bloatware apps. You don't need to be rooted to disable bloatware... Just go to your application manager and disable your apps from there. You should be able to disable most of them. Probably all bloatware, but I don't do it that way so I can't confirm. Still, I always root just because I like installing Titanium, Root Explorer, Xposed Installer, AdAway, etc. Also install a custom recovery so I can backup my image and be able to restore if anything happens.

The device has been rock solid since I got it and I use it daily. The only way I wouldn't upgrade to KitKat is if it came with a locked bootloader. Even then that wouldn't exactly be a showstopper as i don't really play with custom kernels on it. I save that for other devices and computers I use and own. I also wouldn't necessarily expect that on a Wifi only device.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsycloneTW:
The biggest thing for me is native apps 2 sd support. I have my 16gb tablet loaded with apps using the storage swap script however it's not perfect as those who use it know, at some point you get a low space warning even when you have plenty of space left. I hope this would no longer be an issue when not running this script.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Joey121215:
If you don't care about the update, then don't update the tablet, simple as that. On the other hand, I'm very excited. A lot of things have changed with android between 4.1 and 4.4 and it's a much smoother experience.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] erica_renee:
lost disk space fix

First sorry for off topic. but this should help you

The low disk usage warning can be fixed..

download a app called disk usage from play store. It will show you Exactly where your data has gone. The data (GHOSTE DATA) is likely a app you use a LOT. look for cache files that are large.

Once you find the app with large amounts of cache. Go to settings / Applications/ FIND THE APP That is the issue. Clear its cache files as needed.

GOOGLE + Seems to be the one that Gives us the most troubles.. But its a app we use a lot. others like maps facebook apps and so on can do the same..

Good Luck.. :good:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have unlocked and rooted my phone. I am proud of the fact that it is mine. I know to most people it isn't an issue, and it isn't THAT big of a deal, but i would like it to go away anyway...

Is there a way to hide the Lock Icon you get after unlocking the bootloader in the Boot sequence?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes. Re lock the bootloader with the "bootlocker" app
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
or lock it with fastboot oem lock ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'd prefer to recommend bootlocker. Once you have root access, you can lock / unlock /reset tamper flag at will without connecting to a pc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
You sure its not Boot"UN"locker? I've never heard of an app that did this so, out of curiosity, I searched for "bootlocker" and found "bootunlocker" instead.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is relocking it going to cause an issue if I decide to install a rom in the future? Or use Wugfresh to lock and unroot? Or will it be seamless?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sorry, yes. Unlocker.

You can still flash roms via recovery with a locked bootloader. You just need to unlock the bootloader again to update your recovery.

DON'T EVER USE TOOLKITS ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just to update recovery I will need to relock the bootloader?

And out of curiosity, why not use Toolkits? If its to help me gain experience, I usually have no problem using adb, but I'm at work and figured it was easier. That, and I am lazy :p

Hey, I found this type of stylus on ebay, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it? I really hate the rubber styluses because its so rubbery and sticky, makes it hard to write.

The one below looks better, but I have absolutely no experience with it.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Micro-Fibre-...24992?pt=US_Styluses&var=&hash=item3a87431a60
[General Accessories] UltraVicious:
I'd say mesh tips are "better" in that they conduct better with the screen then the rubber tips, overall more responsive and way more smoother on the screen.

On the other hand though, the mesh tip is a lot less firm and collapses more than I would like it to with any amount of pressure.

Have you checked out the little plastic disk type of stylus? I like them better overall (responsiveness & precision) even though they take some time to get used to.

Hi,

I'm developing an app and to make it look better I would like to use transparent system bars on kitkat devices but when I set it up it forces me to move the minimum api level to kitkat (19) but that means my app is only gonna show up on kitkat devices, right? So I was searching around the web to see if it's possible to use it on kitkat while keeping the compatibility for ics or jb. I couldn't find anything so I'm posting here. :confused:

EDIT 1:

it is possible, pushbullet features that functionality while compatible with ics

Firstly , I would like to apologize if I posted in the wrong place ... I'm new to the forum. I would also apologize because I am Brazilian and I'm using the google translator .

I searched the forum and have not found a solution to my device , then searching the web I saw many users praising the XDA , so I came to seek a solution to my problem here , I hope you can help me !

My tablet Galaxy tab 2 7.0 " suddenly stopped working the gyroscope , a light sensor and the screen does not rotate in landscape mode . Already done everything and does not work . Only play with apps in store . Before but now it worked normally .

I downloaded an app called phone tester to test my sensors but only appears "waiting for data ... "

Is there any way to enable these features ?

Sorry!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfclan68:
No need to apologize, you're in the right place. Not certain, but it sounds like you're running it stock. Is that right? The light sensor and rotation can be enabled/disabled in the settings menu. I'm sure you checked that those are set correctly. However, the gyroscope doesn't have a way to turn it off that I'm aware of. If it is stock, and you've never installed any custom ROM I can only think you may have a hardware failure. Was it dropped?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edu769:
I forgot to tell .... I'm 11 CyanogenMod ( android 4.4 ) . Both the rotation and the automatic brightness sensor are active but still not work .

The ROM functioned normally and only after a while stopped working , ie also think it's a hardware problem. Was in doubt only because I thought there was a code that activates . I saw on the internet codes as: " *#*#0#*#* " ( without quotes ) but also did not work , says " connection problem or invalid MMI code "

I've installed previous versions to see if it worked but to no avail, he continued with the same problem. :crying: :crying:

And the worst is that in Brazil the taxes are too high then it is difficult to buy new quality appliances

But thanks for the help :good: ... I'll see what I can do now. :crying: :crying:
