A perfect screen protector is made of sapphire and has a hardness scale of 10H we dont have that yet

Tempered glass runs for about 8$ on eBay and Amazon its the best bang for your buck.

Its better to see and feel glass rather than putting some cheap peace of thin plastic on it.

And besides glass is harder and thicker than thin plastic for example Sand in Hawaii very though my friend has a Zagg invisible shield it was a windy day on the beach and her phone fell in the sand it was enough to make a hole in the plastic protector and make a small scratch mark on the screen.

Overall glass is better since its harder and ticker for objects such as rocks and or sand to get through it

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
Lol those above replies really aren't helpful. It all depends on what you're willing to sacrifice. I.e smudges/clarity etc. And what you're wanting the protector for because at the end of the day, the naked glass is smooth and strong. I prefer less fingerprints so lean more towards matte.

nilkin glass screen protector
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b.spec:
I agree, and while initial impressions on a screen protector are great, I think the most valuable information are from people who been using them for several weeks or month. Spending $40 on a tempered glass screen protector will feel amazing at first but if it lasts two weeks before chipping or causing bubbles then it's not a worthwhile investment.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] biscuitownz:
I've always used SGP screen protectors, they're the best out of all the others I've tried. I wouldn't recommend any matte protector also, they kill the clarity of the screen. Glass protectors would probably give the best feeling but I don't think I'd like the extra thickness.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] markdapimp:
There are 0.15MM glass protectors but they cost lots of $$$

Nillkin is pretty amazing considering the price. It'd be nice to have a reaaaaaally slim one like Spigen's but I just can't justify the pricetag.

Been using nilkin tempered glass since Christmas and it's flawless. Has one tiny web at the bottom but it was my fault during installation. No bubbles, chips, peeling or anything. $15 on Amazon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] jeffsf:
I'm a Nilkin glass convert and wouldn't go with anything significantly different. The glass feels great, is "clear as glass," holds up very well, and, at $11 or so delivered, is cheap.

Matte is, in my opinion, just marketing cover for poor optical characteristics of the material. Why would you pay for a high-resolution screen, then effectively smear it with Vaseline?

Curious as to how your oleophobic coating is now? Mine was a fingerprint magnet after a couple of months.

It all depends on what one is after though. A cheap matte screen protector can be nasty yes. However, some are pretty decent these days. You will be sacrificing some screen clarity but you won't have a grubby looking phone with grease/fingerprints/smudges all over your screen. It's all about what one is after...pros and cons to everything. No offence to the posters that just post things like "Nilkin Glass" but I really think you should give the pros and cons as this is beneficial for readers. Simply stating a product does not help anyone really. I never understand why people buy chunky cases for their new phones but obviously they are willing to sacrifice the weight/look for the protection they get. Everyone is unique :) Hence we have communities like this where people can share and help. My 3 cents.

I am having a bit of trouble with my "System Data" file being abnormally large. At first I thought that it meant that I had low space, so I went moved all my pictures, music, etc on my external SD card.

No luck with that. The next thing that I thought was that it could have been my backups from rooting my device, since I have been searching for the solution to this problem for a rather long time now, I have found out that CWM backups can take up quite a bit of space, but I had all my backups on my external SD card, so that ruled out another possible cause.

Also, I have read on another thread that Google Contacts Sync could take up a lot of space...

After getting slightly discouraged, I resulted to going back to the internet and looking for other possible causes. I read that somehow Google backs up your photos that you take on your device, so I wondered if the backed up photos could have somehow snuck into that "System Data" file. I searched for a while, and finally gave up.

So, the question is, what is taking up all this space, and how do I get rid of it??? Thanks in advance.

Try getting SD Maid from google play. It does much more than manage sd. On a rooted phone, it will let you clean stray corpses, temp files, app data, logs, etc. I recommend that you get the pro license key. Invaluable tool. You can also find developers app thread here on xda.

When I first used it on a cm10.0 rom last year, it freed up about 300 MB.

When you run the largest files tab i sdmaid, what does it show you?

Can you look at /data/media folder with xplore or another root file manager? Have you got some clockworkmod nandroid backup?

Lastly, open terminal emulator, enter su, snd enter, then enter df, enter. it should show you all mounts and used space in each.

How do I know? I just played with the 4.4 skin at best buy on the Pro models. They seemed to have fixed nearly every design issue I had with 4.3 on my 2014. It really feels like a tablet skin instead of a phone skin. I'm glad Samsung fixed it but why do such a terrible job in the first place? Was my $600 not worth their time?

Incredibly excited for 4.4 update. It will be like getting a brand new device! I really hope they have some kind of option to remap the menu button to a task switching button. That would be the ultimate.

I checked the pro series 4.4 skins in best buy too. Although the skin seems to be more tablet oriented, the TouchWiz lag still exists. The device was still not snappy enough

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
I played with a N12 at BB and came away with a different opinion. Most of the differences between it and the N10.1-14 were pretty minor and aesthetic. M-UX is of course new but did you look at the number and type of widgets available? Pretty sparse. What used to be My Magazine is now broken up so each category in what was the "News" section are now individual widgets. There's no Facebook for the Social widget either just like My Magazine. There's e-mail, calendar, and all the S Apps like Hub, Apps, WatchOn etc. There's Hancom widgets but we're probably not getting it (unless you side load it as explained in the apps section of the forum). Not much else. And at CES there were mini tiles shown that acted like shortcuts to a bunch of common/popular apps; gone. Unless Samsung's got big future plans for stocking M-UX with widgets and shortcuts I'd be fine without having a mandatory page of it on my home screen.

In terms of TW (now "classic") the settings menus and some others have been freshened and the notification panel drop down has been reformatted/resized so it's more appropriate for a tablet. There are more Pen Window apps and the way you launch multitasking's been revised to "swipe from the side" which now conflicts with other apps (EG: Astro) that also swipe from the side. You can now also cascade (overlay) Multi View windows which was a N10.1-12 feature that got left out of the N10.1-14 launch ROM.

What other major changes or differences did you notice that I missed?

As for Samsung's interpretation of 4.4 over 4.3 I've been using an "official" AT&T 4.4 ROM for about a month on my N3. The only functional changes are the location and wireless control panels have been re-worked so they are much clearer and easier to interpret and the lock screen has a "one app" option that's set to camera by default but can be changed to any app. It can also be set to "4.3 style" which I chose because there are more options including launching five apps from the lock screen. The notification bar icons are white (wow! :rolleyes: ), there's a new slightly revised default system font, and there are some minor UI graphic changes. You have to look pretty hard to see the differences between 4.3 and 4.4 as designed by Samsung. The biggest difference I've seen is my battery life went up and the N3 which was already fluid on 4.3 became more so. Having played with M-UX and come away meh, performance improvements are what I'm looking forward to most in our update. That along with some of the cleaned up menus and new Multi View functionality.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] clouds5:
I don't even know anymore what touchwiz looks like even though i have a samsung smartphone and the note 10.1 :) so many great launchers around.

I'm still looking forward to 4.4 because of the redesigned settings and notification. And hopefully bug fixes. And i think it would be the first time i actually have the most recent android version on one of my devices...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Stocklone:
I don't give a flying crap about the launcher. I use Action Launcher. I left Nova a long time ago. Don't miss it one bit.

The task switching actually being at the bottom instead of the middle of the screen and the notification drawer not being a phone one anymore plus it having multiple sliders instead of one giant huge slider show Samsung put a lot more thought into 4.4.

Those two things drove me nuts. Anytime I have to use a phone app on a tablet I die a little on the inside.

I also like the icons in 4.4 way better than 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Stocklone:
Didn't get a chance to play with the multi-tasking tab. So what side do you swipe from? Please tell me it's not the left where every single side menu is?

I hate nearly every Samsung app and use none of their widgets. I buy the Note for the S Pen which I use with non-Samsung apps. I'm just incredibly tired of using a 10.1" phone so hell yeah I'm excited about 4.4. It looks like your priorities are quite a bit different than mine so it makes sense your take away is different than mine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's how it works now. If it's like the current set up you can, when it's open, drag it from side-to-side if you want.

Here's the Tab|Pro 10.1 manual. I'd imagine everything in it will be similar to what we're getting. Jury's still out on how Samsung's going to deal with the "menu" vs. "tasks" capacitive button issue. A pic of the soon to be released VZW N10.1-14 still shows our menu button so it wouldn't appear Samsung's planning any physical changes for the N10.1-14 down the road. So we'll either have a capacitive button that says one thing and does another (menu=tasks) or the s/w for the N10.1-14 will be adjusted to still support the menu button. Even though Google's killed the menu button in 4.4 Samsung's revived it because it still works the exact same way on the N3 4.4 ROM.

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...axy_Tab_PRO_KK_English_User_Manual_NAE_F2.pdf

Google's the one to blame for the phone UI. The unified UI works fine on a 7-8" display that's primarily used in portrait mode but looks goofy on anything larger. Like this... ;)

The Nexus 10's not a hell of a lot better than the N10.1-14. The only glaring blunder on Samsung's part was the full-screen notification panel but other than that there's not a big difference UI treatment wise between the Nexus 10 and N10.1-14.

Kind of polar opposites. I use pretty much all the features (that work well) in TW and have most stock Google apps disabled in settings. We totally agree about S Pen being the purchase driver for a Note though. ;)

I'm running Buzz launcher, it's good on battery life and smooth, apex is good as well, a new update will be coming out in a few months for 4.4 let's hope they give us the new pro features when it comes out. I would also like to go back to the virtual buttons like the last model, I keep hitting the back and menu button in portrait.

Hi guys, I have a ATT D800 that was having problems where my phone would freeze during use and go into a bootloop, where I could occasionally get the phone to turn on from said bootloop. So I restored to stock using the lgflashtool application. After restoring I continued to freeze and enter bootloop. I found a suggestion of factory resetting the device after restoring, that has done nothing, I still enter a bootloop after about 30-45 minutes of use. Sometimes it lasts longer, sometimes it doesn't. I couldn't find any answers on this issue, and i definitely don't want to just wright off my phone as broken and ust leave it at that. I really want help, and any of your suggestions are welcome. I don't know if any of you have had this problem before, but if you have please help me.

Update. I think the solution is to leave gps on all the time. Then it won't switch back to Power Saving. Kitkat changed some things with location. On my Nexus 5, my gps was always on by default. Luckily it doesn't seem like there's extra battery drain to go with it like we have in previous Android versions.

I rooted my device when i got this phone, use it with Odin, and earlier this morning, i tried to unroot it, 'cause i want to update the phone, since it says that i modified my phone and blah blah.. so i unroot my phone using supersu, and restart the phone, but i still can't update the phone, so i give up and i tried to root the phone again

what i did was:

1) i connect my phone, open PDA

2) next, i'm not really sure which file i was supposed to open, so i click random file .-. most likely the third or second one, i'll show you how it look like

and that's when it started to go wrong.. when i tried to turn it back off and on again, it stuck at the logo screen where it says samsung note 3, it just stuck there.

next i tried to root the phone again, i thought if i did it again correctly, it might work, so i open the pda file again and clicked CF-auto root file (most likely)

it still doesnt work..

then i tried to press the power button + up + home, it doesnt work, it showed the android thing and then get back straight on the logo screen again, and it just stuck there.

i tried again over and over, i even pulled out the battery, but it doesnt work.

:( i wonder if i should go to t-mobile and had them repair it, but i doubt they will, since they would know i rooted my phone, and besides i dont even know if i have the warranty or not.

please someone help me, thank you very much!!! :(
