[Xperia Z1 Accessories] The Driv3r:
I've been playing around with films lately, most screen protectors are crap these days. I wanted something industrial grade. Long story short, pulled off some extra clear bra from a sheet I did my car with. The results are 10 fold better. I used xpel ultimate self healing film.

https://www.xpel.com/products/xpel_ultimate_paint_protection_film.asp - the film really is self healing :D

Tools

Screen roller

Xpel ultimate film - order a decent size you will need extra.

Exacto knife

Very clean work area

Patience & precision!

Installation

1. Clean surface, no dust!

2. Cut film about 3 inches over the size of the actual template, you will leave fingerprints. You need that slack so you can grip it and then cut off the access where you gripped it.

3. Lay it down from top to bottom, this is the most important step. You cannot stop once you start, if you stop you will leave a crease line. You must take the roller and push the film down slowly, consistent but never stop.

4. Repeat rolling until all air bubbles are gone, there should be almost none the first time around. You do not use water with this application.

5. Trim the slack off with an exacto knife. Make sure not to cut in too hard, you don't want to cut into the phones waterproof seal on the edges.

6. Admire your work and of course do a light water test to make sure your z1 seals are good.

Pros

10 mils thick

Self healing - scratches disappear.

Very glossy

Super smooth

Fills in scratches underneath on the stock protector.

Oem look

The most durable out

Grippy on flat surfaces

Cons

Pricey

You have to be good at installing films - you really need a roller or be very consistent. You only get one shot.

You have to trim everything your self
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] koziakauzu:
Sounds interesting (really wanna try on my....motorcycle!) But what about fingerprints?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] The Driv3r:
They do show finger prints but wipe off very easily, I find the problem is you can't have both fingerprint resistance and scratch resistance. This film is very soft and grippy. It's very durable, that said I only have it on the back. On the from I spigen Glas Tr Slim. I love both but for scratch resistance the xpel wins hands down.. the problem is that it is slightly textured as you can see. That definitely can take away from the screen clarity. That said... I have the whole back covered including the camera and no distortion of photos or ghosting of the flash.

Now fingerprints on the adhesive side is a problem, thats why I said you absolutely need slack when doing this. Once it's on though it's worth it. I scratched it this morning and just like the video, ran the phone under warm water; Good as new! I actually like the subtle textured gloss of the back. It really adds a nice touch. You can order custom sizes from xpel, not sure where but it's on their site. I sized up my headlights that way.

Basically my setup is...

Spigen Glas TR slim in the front.

Xpel Ultimate Film in the back.

Oh, doing bikes with film is a nightmare... flat surfaces are 10x easier. I'm a professional detailers but when it comes to clear bra's I let the specialists do it. Tint's and Films are some of the most tricky applications in the automotive field. Anyone who says they do it all... usually isn't good ;)

I hope this info helps.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] koziakauzu:
Thanks for all the info. Yeah I guess it would be a pain to do my bike, my tank shape is a bit complex. I don't think any shop does that where I live (Hk)

If I can find a cheap way to get it oversea I'm gonna try it on my z1 back, right now I'm using a nice textured back film protector I found in Japan...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] iToolboxx:
I was chatting today online with someone from ATT and I asked her about the Kitkat update for our Note 3 and this is the info I got from her.

Apparently the update was faulty.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nviz22:
They told me the same thing last saturday.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] iToolboxx:
I'm amazed a "big news blog" hasn't posted anything about it then
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radukk:
Korean Note3/S4A(S800 variant) are getting bugfix and stabilize update like every 3 days or so, at least 10 updates after 4.4.2 release. Since AT&T does not like minor inclined maintenance updates, they will probably wait until it get settled and push all it once later.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] iToolboxx:
To be honest I kind of like having the new software and having updates pushed frequently for example ios but if it fixes the bug and makes it more stable then I'm fine with that
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
So a CSR reading off a script or making things up says "The update was faulty, so they pushed it back to get it all fixed that way it didn't ruin the phones" qualifies as AT&T's genuine progress statement on 4.4 to you guys? We're a couple of weeks behind the other U.S. carriers and Rogers which means nothing may be wrong and the wheels of progress at AT&T are just slow(er). Some of us have been using the leak for two months and it didn't "ruin our phones" so you'd have to imagine the final build can't be worse than the leak. Of all the customer-facing priorities AT&T faces I'm sure getting the N3, a single device out of dozens they sell, updated to 4.4 isn't one of the most pressing. Especially because their average customer could probably care less.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gods Son:
Wow thanks for the info because I've been looking all over the Internet for something and no one has said a word about this "faulty update". You've been a huge help. Thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] iToolboxx:
Well I was getting spammed by her so I decided to end and close the chat and I copied and paste it to a notepad and deleted everything to only see the important part that was told. Maybe the leak was good but they started adding other material which made it faulty lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
well this will be the other reason why they have not pushed it out waiting for 4.43

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Fidelio_o:
So what color is everyone getting? This is probably my biggest decision atm lol, Waiting for 1pm to order. Sucks I cant just walk to the store but.....Ill suck it up.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I ordered gun metal grey from best buy. It said coming soon but I kept looking and it finally took me to where I could order it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ehaze:
Odd that they dropped the black color option, was sort of looking forward to it.

Ended up going with gunmetal.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] OneStepAhead:
I ponied up the $100 premium for off contract that Best Buy charges so I could get the gold version.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

My guess would be the black scratched too easily...you know you could always put a Diztronic Matte Black case on it, just sayin. :D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] P1 Wookie:
Gunmetal was the only option on AT&T's site. That's the color I wanted though so I'm good.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dondula:
Is the silver color supposed to be offered at AT&T. That's the color I was hoping for but they don't have it on the web, hopefully they will have it by the time it hits retail stores.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] shahid7624:
On AT&T gunmetal is only option. so yes gunmetal it is
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Fidelio_o:
Yeah, noticed. Wanted the silver but gun metal will do. Out for delivery here already
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Blueoval24:
Was really wanting the gold one since it reminded me of the original gold edition Zelda nes cartridge, but I got mine through att, so gun metal it was.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Me too my m7 is black, silver is more for a woman.

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

I had already bought my m8 black tpu case off ebay for under $6, it was delivered on the 24th.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Marcismo55:
I purchased unmetal but I won't lie that gold does look OG and I like it haha
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ikr:
Color I want

I want the silver model but I am hesitant to buying a phone without actually getting a feel for it beforehand. I'm going to go to a Verizon store before I make my final decision. I prefer the silver model but willing to buy the gold version from best buy. I chatted with a guy from the att website and he said they release in store on 4/8 but no word on a silver release.

Also, is it worth buying this phone with a two year contract?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GhastlyTT:
Gunmetal through AT&T. I think it's a great color.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kennypow3rs:
Why do i only see the gun metal version on ATT website? Are there any plans to offer other colors? I really wanted the stealth black but as i read above maybe its not coming. I do like the best buy gold version though...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] chp:
Holding out until they have Amber Gold in-store at Best Buy.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] chp:
Was able to walk in to a Best Buy store and pick up the Amber Gold this evening.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] zounduser:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Sisyphus306:
Strongly considering using my JUMP upgrade to move from the LG G2...just a measly 2 months after I got it. Why do I have to be so weak?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] shook187:
Unfortunately the new devices for 2014 are not much of an upgrade from the flagship devices of 2013.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Limeybastard:
Why are you bothered about this "mate" htc phone? I would rather have an LG pro 2 with USA spec LTE of available, failing that I would await a the M8 Max :cyclops:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
Well, I read rumors that T-Mobile was supposed to begin selling the M8 tonight after midnight. Searched the site for "HTC One" and it came up with this page:

View attachment 2650498

I clicked the link that is shown on the right side to buy my M8. It took me to this URL: https://explore.t-mobile.com/htc-one-m8

The link doesn't seem to be working right now as it only takes me to a blank page. But this is encouraging!

EDIT:

Called customer service and found out (after four or five transfers, lol) that the site probably won't be live until 12:00am Pacific Time (3:00am EST). So I'll try again in the morning.

Also, I couldn't believe the lack of knowledge of T-Mobile employees about this phone. I called a store today to see about in-store purchase date and the rep didn't even know the phone was coming out. Ditto with the last rep I talked to. She was just able to tell me that usually during system updates and for record keeping, they operate on Pacific Time. So hopefully I won't have any troubles ordering in the morning.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Slicktune:
Its morning over here and the website seems to still be blank... Im so pissed right now... Anyone else found a way to order?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Slicktune:
So........theres no way around April 11th? Please say it ain't so...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
Any confirmation yet on price and if it will be the 16GB or 32GB model?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
Pulled from the link provided on the last page about the release date.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Cyber Akuma:
I meant with the one-time down-payment, or does T-mobile not have an equivalent of that anymore? It's been a long time since I was with T-mobile.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Maggard:
The price appears to be $636 for T-Mobile customers.* As always that can change, along with the release date, at any time.

As a customer on an Un-Carrier-era plan with good credit no down-payment is required and the phone cost can be spread across 24 payments with no financing fees. For those with less credit a down-payment is required and the remaining balance is spread out over the same 24 months, again without financing costs. Or just pay for it outright. In all of those cases the cost comes out to be the same, $636 plus any local taxes.

Purchasers paying in installments can also enroll in the Jump program. Simply put, in it's latest version, it's extended warranty, insurance, Lookout Premium subscription, and a trade-in guarantee after the phone has been half paid for. $10 month to be in it. Thus in a year we Jump folks can trade in our HTC One m8, after having spent as little as $342 (over the cost of just insurance) to start on the HTC One m9 with integrated hover board functionality!

I expect we'll hear more about the new HTC One on T-Mobile after the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 launch on the 11th. That has garnered lots of attention and is backed by Samsung's huge advertising campaigns making it the launch of the season.

*T-Mobile makes it's money as phone service provider, not as a phone seller. Thus it's phone prices are often higher for non-customers.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
Well, it looks like the link I posted earlier is up and running, but it isn't an order page. It's just a page to request notification of when it will be available for sale.

i was just about to post this. haha
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PopArtist:
It is the 32 GB model. (I have it)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] JMillion:
Yeah I was surprised to see T-Mobile was the only carrier to release it next month rather then with the others.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] CB620:
Can you post a system dump.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the T-Mobile variant will be available on Amazon the same day its available in stores?

Doesn't anyone have a problem with the touch not responding or just random touches running on any rom 4.4.2. On 4.3 I didn't seem to have the problem, just on kitkat

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmdobson88:
I am having issues with my Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I353. Over the past few months this problem has been increasing in severity. My screen is detecting "phantom inputs". These inputs are rapid, horizontal movements in the top 1/3 of the screen. These movements render the screen unresponsive, and will register as touches to any screen item in that zone. Turning the screen on and then off stops the movements but only very temporarily. Some days this problem is minimal, while others my phone is nearly impossible to use due to the frequency of these inputs. These inputs occur in the same exact spot every time, and at the same spot that other people have reported, so I can rule out screen scratches or smudges. I created a .gif of the inputs after I turned on "show touch inputs" in the developer options.

I've seen others with this problem online, but no one has narrowed down if this is a software or hardware malfunction. Here are some of my possible problems:

1. Hardware: Possibly a loose cable? Malfunctioning Screen? Possible fix - taking it apart and putting it back together.

2. Software: Screen needs re-calibration of some kind (too sensetive?), would this be possible?

3. App running in the background that overrides touch inputs and is somehow creating this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Other info: Problem started on stock 4.1.2, Verizon SCH-1535

Now on stock 4.3, rooted with xposed modules.

Phone was purchased new in Fall 2012.

No water damage.

I have the Wicked sensation ROM loaded and as I'm a newbie it wont let me post a question to the thread for the ROM itself so trying here..

Has anyone had an issue with enabling encryption and the phone taking a few hours and then reboots but never gets past the splash screen boot animation? .. this is what is happening to me ... if I pull the battery and then power on all is fine and no encryption is done and I'm not locked out of my phone but cant get work email with out it ... its part of the Exchange security rules

Thank you Team Bad Boyz!!! Are you using the same svn as 5.5 was on?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] retnuh730:
Lol I held off on buying the m8 because I figured we'd get Sense 6 eventually. No idea it'd be before I could even buy an M8...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gruesomewolf:
Congrats guys.

I know allot of devs are having issues with compass....Not sure if you guys are cause I haven't ran this rom. But if your having any trouble with that feel free to hit me and I will be happy to help. On another note....is epst actually working. I tried adding epst to my build and the commands would not do anything....I'm guessing without actually debugging that I have to adjust smali coding in the phone app.

Either way....Congrats again....sense 6 is actually much nicer then 5.5....imho.

Benny, does that include Update PRL?

I'm curious why release had to wait until 3/25? I assume something legal, but just curious what it was.

I'm on the fence installing this because Bad Boys KitKat Sense 5.5 is solid as a rock and I'm about to hand it over to my wife because I just ordered the HTC One M8.

She's not good at dealing with glitches ;)

I have just one hiccup.

In order to make any Rom have good data connection I have to get into epst*I think that's the name* to clear out the Sprint proxy, e.g change things to "0.0.0.0".

In this Rom when I go into the menu I can't find it to fix it. Is it under a different name?

Other than this small thing Rom is pretty smooth as silk

Edit:

Any one can chime in on this?

I'm having some really scrappy data connection..

... What does that have to do with it?!? The home screen size is set wrong (probably for a higher resolution, larger screen.. like the M8?!?) and that is what is causing it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
u have to enable in settings 1st....

haven't seen this, is there an example somewhere?
