(Screen protector is applied in that photo)

This is the 4th device that I am reviewing this brand screen protector for.

It started with my Galaxy S3, followed by my Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 and lastly the Moto X.

First off, note that these are not a tempered glass protector. These are hardened plastic, but make no mistake.. These take a beating. You really can't beat what you get for the money.

For under $10 on Amazon (Prime) you get the following:

-3 HD clear easy to install screen protectors

- A very large, very high quality iSmooth branded silk screen wipe. I still have my first one from almost 3 years ago.

- 4 dust removal stickers

- A sincere Thank you card (?)

- Very detailed directions along with a link to a very detailed video.

- Lifetime warranty

Hell of a deal right?

The installation was a breeze. Installed it first shot after watching the directions. Not a single bubble or dust particle. The initial feeling is a tad sticky which usually goes away in a day or 2 depending on usage.

I have read some reviews on other protectors and saw issues with the protectors blocking the sensor and the Moto X becoming unresponsive. iSmooth listened and cut out around those sensors, reassuring that it would not be an issue, and it is not.

The over all look of the screen is perfect. You would never know you had it on the phone. When they say crystal clear HD, they mean it.

These are exceptional quality for a non glass protector. They have been so durable in the past that when I sold my Note 3 & S3, I included the other 2 screen protectors because I never needed them.

Overall Ratings

Packaging : 10

Value : 10

Protection : 8

Customer service : 10
[Moto X Accessories] guybanda:
thanks for the review, care to post a close up photo of the protector on the phone?

texture is important...
[Moto X Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Here you go. Hope it helps
[Moto X Accessories] nlygamz:
Does it change the colors of the device? I had a protector for my Samsung galaxy so advance, it really washed out the colours for some reason.
[Moto X Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
No. Not at all. These are some of the clearest I've seen. Colors transmit perfectly
[Moto X Accessories] nlygamz:
OK.... Just gotta see whether it is available in India? Thanks mate

What about the case? Do you have one?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mclairs:
Build - Version 4.4.2-20140316 N7105

Kernel - based on omni stock kernel.

All my recipients claim that they can't hear me and i can't hear them clearly.. my in-call volume is already at its max.

is there any settings that i need to adjust?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufrad:
Go to themes and apps section, look for sound mod which supports all roms, follow instructions, volume should be more now, don't think this will fix the problems of your recipients hearing low sound.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooolforce:
I've been using Omni from a long time. Never had this problem. Try factory reset and installing Omni again. But I use N7100 and you have N7105 so something might be different.

I've been using Hangouts lately for SMS needs but lately, I have not been receiving a notification for every new message. I have all the default notification settings turned on and I still won't get every notification... :confused:

Essentially, I'm asking what messaging apps we all use on the HTC One that don't hog the battery. I want to change messaging apps but I feel that the popular messaging apps on the Play Store are huge battery drains with their hundreds of useless functions and features.

I'd like to use the default messaging app but I can NOT stand the 5 lines of the message editor that show up every time I go to reply to a text message. Its just a nit-picky thing, but it bothers me that it wastes all that real estate on the screen with empty space...

Can't wait to see what everybody thinks and I'll be conducting some battery tests in the days to come as well. :good:

If you're on kitkat, EvolveSMS looks really good with the kitkat theme though last I'd checked its interface was slightly laggy. Great app nonetheless
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Natodu:
Does evolve sms allow mms over WiFi ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
I'm not sure but when I tried evolve it was compressing my photos even after adjusting the mms settings. The stock mms app didn't compress the same photo
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gobaers:
I've been pleased with hello sms. Multiple recipient messages actually work, and it's relatively light. Best of all, it's very nicely organized.

One issue though: sending picture messages is wonky due to square reformatting. I still use the stock app for this, but changes get picked up by hello without issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Natodu:
That was my issue with hangouts. Mms was problematic most days.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sspunkky:
One other problem with Hello SMS is that we cannot delete individual messages from a thread. We can only delete the entire thread, not a particular message from it.

Go to the settings menu and select more networks, then mobile networks. Make sure the data box is checked. Then check the apn (access point names) settings and make sure they are the same as your prepaid network.

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toasterboy1:
More info:

IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGKdrOId:
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.

The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).

sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toasterboy1:
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachf714:
so its not just me, my pageplus data is borked as well and I was chocking it up to QcRil but I guess its not, so I will see whats up
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toasterboy1:
Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.

On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toasterboy1:
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AGKdrOId:
I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodlookin1:
First time poster here.....in DESPERATE need of help!

So here's the rundown: After many attempts, I was finally able to update to KitKat 4.4.2 on my G2 with root intact. I wanted this for flashing the camera for 4k and 120fps modes. I attempted to install it today via TWRP but now I've basically bricked my phone.

Here's what I did:

- Installed FreeGee

- From inside FreeGee, I installed TWRP

- Installed TWRP Manager

- Copied .zip file to sdcard

- Booted into recovery mode

- Installed camera update

- Restarted and got a neverending LG Logo screen

I have since attempted every which way to recover from this. At this point, I don't even care about my data, I just want a working phone back! I am receiving no errors other than a frozen logo screen.

Here's what I've tried thus far with no success:

- ADB sideload (said phone was connected, got the dreaded "cannot read file" error no matter what I did).

- Factory reset

- Custom wipe of all but sdcard data

- LGFlashTools attempt to restore back down to 4.2.2 "o".....phone will not connect (read more below)

- Attempted fastboot flash from CMD prompt, just said "waiting for phone" forever

Some information......I CANNOT get the phone to be recognized on my PC when in "Download Mode". It never moves past the small Download Mode label into the "Firmware Update" with the big circular arrows circle. If I am in TWRP Recovery (which I get to by holding the Power and Volume Down button [original factory reset]), the PC does recognize the phone, but only under a new label called Android Phone, not Ports. I cannot change the COM ports at all as there is no option given under Properties.

I am at my wits end here. Any idea what I can do? It still appears to function normally under TWRP interface, but outside of that it's a brick. Please please PRETTY Please, anyone been in this situation and know what to do?

Thanks for any guidance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodlookin1:
Just wanted to give everybody an update here in case someone else is in the same situation.

So Sideload REFUSED to work even with the correct names typed. So I scratched that approach.

I anded up using the adb "push" method to send the zip file to the phone. I was having so much trouble with it at first, but I realized that was because I was going into sideload mode on the phone! You DO NOT turn on the sideload mode in TWRP if trying to push a file to the phone. You simply need the device recognized in the command prompt "adb devices" to say "23908hjf982j0e8jdf2 RECOVERY", or something to that effect. If you have sideload mode turned on, you will get the error, "error: closed". Well duh, it's closed for a sideload function! I should have caught this earlier.

ANYWAY, once I pushed a CyanogenMod 11 rom to the phone, it installed and booted right up! I didn't like it, however and wanted to go back to stock 4.2.2. So I downloaded the stock LG Jellybean rom and attempted to install it but it failed. Not sure why. I then downloaded KitKat 4.4.2 and installed it but that also failed, and this time it REALLY bricked it. I was getting loading errors on the LG Logo screen and it would shut off and act like it was turned off. At this point, I tried to restore to CyanogenMod from TWRP recovery, but it didn't work. Go figure.

I had a bricked phone. It wouldn't even boot into TWRP anymore due to the stock rom being partially installed (but failed).

Just when I thought all was lost, I attempted the old LGFlashTool reboot. I figured that maybe, just MAYBE....the Download Mode was fixed due to the partially installed stock ROM. I was right! I cleared all my old testing/configuration drivers on my PC and reinstalled the stock LGUnitedMobile 3.10.1 drivers, set the phone to download mode and VOILA! It FINALLY popped under a newly showing PORTS (COM & LPT) in my device manager. I configured it to COM41 as needed, configured LGFlashTool to load up the stock 4.2.2. jeallybean ROM, put the phone into Download Mode once again and LGFlashTool FINALLY recognized it and loaded up the stock ROM as it did the other day I tried it.

I am now on 4.2.2. rooted "q" (updated from "o" to "q" after installing SuperSU Pro and checked the Survival Mode option). I am moving up to KitKat 4.4.2. with Survival Mode on, which will keep my Root ability (Yes, it DOES work and have already verified it worked before all hell broke lose due to the xdabbeb's update on 4.4.2. (I probably did something wrong....not saying it's his fault!).

Anyway, just thought I would post this so that it may help someone else out.

Peace out gents.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
If you eventually want to have recovery as well you'll need to go back to 10d as later versions (o,q) break loki and are not compatible with the custom kernel needed to load stock based KK roms. But if you just want root until the next ota you're set.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyspritz:
I've read somewhere that AOSP offers worse sound quality than Sammy ROMs.

Something about AOSP not having access to Samsung drivers, which is the general argument people give for camera quality comparisons as well. The sound chip is from Wolfson, not Samsung though, so wouldn't that mean the sound would remain the same?

My question is not about the volume being low, or using equalizers, but on overall audio quality and fidelity when listening to music (eg.). Is there an audible difference between the ROMs or do they play back the same?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
What does it matter to you and your 20$ earphones?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyspritz:
It matters to me and my $200 headphones :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
Why would you use those on a cellphone though?

Other than that, I have personally not seen any difference in sound quality. I have however noticed a slight buzzing sound when you have a high level of volume and a system sound is reproduced. Since system sounds usually have about a 3-second playback time and only half of that is the actual sound, I can hear some of the 'static'. Doesn't bother me too much.

Well, thanks for the reply anyhow :)

[Moto X General] jjwatmyself:
In my case, I found that root (4.4) is key for everything on the AT&T stock ROM. Using Xposed framework combined with Moto Tether solves this. But you probably already knew that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
So I had originally had TWRP/Hyperdrive on my phone, and switched to CWM/Cyanogenmod. I noticed now that I seem to have two different recoveries on my phone, because if I hold up+home+power I can go to a different version of CWM Recovery than if I use the Rom Manager app to boot into recovery. How would I rectify this? Would it involve wiping the /boot partition? I don't know where/how recoveries are stored so I don't understand how I can have two.

Doing a fresh install of a ROM has not resolved this by the way. And actually currently, I can't hold the buttons and boot into recovery at all, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo. I can only get into recovery via Rom Manager or Reboot options if I'm in android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I would just Odin back to stock MDK and start fresh and choose whichever recovery suits you. I had to do the same a while back myself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
I've done that so many times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
My fault ...I see where you adressed that in the last part of your post. I'm no expert either on how recoveries are stored and executed.

I would think though that flashing stock mdk would fix this as it did for me. I used ROM manager to install cwm then I flashed Philz and haven't had a problem since. Hope someone else can help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
The only way to fix is to Odin back to factory image and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea that's what I said before too but the op said they've done that many times with no luck...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
That's what I would have figured would fix it, because I'm pretty sure that's supposed to wipe /boot, but I found out I cannot flash kernels on my phone for some reason and when having to fix softbricks while experimenting with why it doesn't work and flashing different kernels, I had to do that whole process so many times I can go from softbrick back to where I'm at now in about 20 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Is your device in factory mode when using touchwiz roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
I have no idea what you mean, and I'm not using anything touchwiz based anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
OK...well try something real quick for me...use a root manager and open your efs folder...are the files still there...if not your efs folder has been formatted to the incorrect format... That would explain funky recovery issues and not being able to flash kernels...that's the only things I can think of
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
It sure is there and has files in it.

What is that folder? Should I delete the contents?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Definitely don't delete your efs folder. Actually it's good practice to back it up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
No!!!!...you will lose your number and all data capability...just wanted to make sure everything was still mounting properly... I'm at a loss as to what else could be causing your issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'd find someone like Philz or a TWRP compiler to ask if u haven't already gone that route. I'm sure one of them will know. Hopefully [emoji41]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Markstache:
Something just occured to me. When flashing back to stock with odin I always use the nowipe image because it's all I can find. I think that technically means boot was never wiped. Would that explain my phenomena? Also where to find stock that will wipe?
