[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] fdrferny33:
It appears to be personal taste: to have a screen protector on or not on the Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4.

Well here's my view:

When I received my tablet I order a screen protector on amazon, armorshield, that would be delivered in 2 days.

In those 2 days i was experimenting with the tablet, and testing the screen sensibility and so on.

After Install the screen protector, and having it on for a week, i think Im gonna remove it.

It does give a layer of protection, but

gives more smudges on the screen, if not installed perfectly you can see the orange peel effect, or minuscule bubbles.

what you guys think?

do you you any protection at all ?

(tpu case, screen protector, folder, or naked)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] NixxonExxo:
I don't think you need it for a tablet and especially if you have a case for it. The only time I would have a screen protecter is on phones where I put it in my pocket all the time where I would have keys, loose change and other hard objects that rubs against the screen.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] laestrella:
Agreed. I never even considered it for a tablet. And I personally refuse to put one on my phone.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] fletch33:
Never liked them and don't use them for anything. I did use a case which I never have but use that for the ability to use the stand.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] michintom:
I used to use the tempered glass screen protectors on all my phones until recently. I purchased and applied the illumishield on my tab 8.4 and it works good. No screen clarity degrade or no sensitivity issue. The illumishield doesn't smudge as well as Spigen or Skinomi that I used in the past.

I have a screen protector on mine. A matte one that is finger print resistant.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ianuk:
hi,

how do you find the matt protector, i had one for my previous tablet (hp touchpad) and it made the screen less clear ... since the 8.4 screen is so good i dont want to spoil it .. do you notice any degrade in the image quality.. especially reading text?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] scottharris4:
Everything looks good to me. I just went on AMazon and searched matte tab pro 8.4
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Rutr:
I'm using protectors only for my mobile phones. My phone several falls on the ground on display side and the protector saved it. My friends have same experience, but he doesnt used protector and every time his mobile phone falls, he had broken display. :laugh: On my tab pro i don't have any screen protector. I always have my tab in cover, so i don't think i can scratch display by hand. So for me is screen protector for tablets useless, but it depends how you use your tab.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] karlr30:
no screen protector nor any case for any of my tablet.

not even for phone. But carry phone in a leather case on belt
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Oliv3:
Only reason I installed a screen protector on mine was because the touchscreen is too sensitive without one. Every so often when I'm scrolling through something it ends up registering as a click. After installing the screen protector there's less of that happening.

Just take it slow when installing it and squeegee out all the air bubbles. On mine you can't even tell there's a screen protector.

But if you don't have any sensitivity issues, imo there's really no need for a screen protector. It's more likely the glass screen shatters or cracks from being dropped then to ever be scratched....

I get these (gradient) shadows at the top and bottom of my homescreen. I am currently using Nova Launcher and I have disabled the "show shadow" setting in there, yet the shadows still persist. I feel like they might be part of Android OS. I am rooted and willing to modify anything on my phone in order to get rid of these shadows.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There's another thread asking about this and essentially no one knows the answer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImTigel:
Yeah, I searched for it and I couldn't find a solid answer to the issue :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
I've always thought it was part of 4.4. It's part of GEL just so you can see icons a little better. I think in some xposed modules you can customize the status bar and nav bar so there's no gradient.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Yeah, datallboy is right. I know how to remove those shadows:

Xposed framework + Tinted Status Bar module

After installing, open up the module and choose Nova Launcher. Then just set Status bar and Nav bar to transparent and the desired color for the icons/buttons :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2metz:
Do you have to use Nova Launcher with this Xposed Mod?

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
No, I'm pretty sure that you can also choose the stock launcher from the list :)

Hi

How do I revert to stock firmware on a rooted s4+ 9506.

I have installed a custom recovery with odin and after that I have rooted my phone. But now I want to go back to stock firmware and most of all I want my status on firmware to change to official.

I have android 4.3 installed and my knox is woid. (0*1)

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Dial *#1234# and you will know ur firmware.

2. Flash through ODIN the same firmware u have and u will recover OFFICIAL state :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duj1982:
So ther is no problem to just revert?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Yeah, you will flash the stock rom and u will recover the stock recovery and u will lose root acces :highfive:. If you need more help, attach one screenshot -> *#1234#
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duj1982:
Her is the screenshot. So I fire upp odin and just flash the firmware file

I would suggest something, separate the roms with sense from the roms without sense, it's a mess search for roms with sense in the One S section.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is not for ROMs or kernels. Threads consolidating these things will be found in the General section, when sombody decides to create it :good:;)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] zerozed99:
In the OP it says that info about S-OFF will be added to this guide (via a link I assume). If there's a way to still do that I'd be grateful. I've been combing the forums and interwebs trying to get a good handle on whether I need S-OFF to update my firmware. I'm also coming to the conclusion that the only way to get S-OFF is to purchase Sunshine for $25....I'd love to know if any of that is accurate or not.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] billydroid:
There is no tmobile 4.4.3 firmware as of yet. So in order to update drivers for 4.4.3 you need to s-off. If firewater does not work for you, then sunshine is your only option.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1000bech:
Hi, my girlfriend's Galaxy S2 fell to the floor and the screen is now broken and is completely black, replacing the screen cost almost as much as buying another used S2, so i want to use it connected to my TV via MHL.

The problem is the phone was using Cyanogenmod, so MHL was not working. I flashed latest stock firmware from samfirmware (MS3 i think), hoping the process to be simple, but although the flash process works fine, the phone can't completely boot, it gets stuck somewhere, so i think i might need to wipe user data / factory reset, the problem is: how? if i'm blindly pressing buttons.

Is there any way of wiping data with odin?

Do you guys have any idea that can help me?

Best regards!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can wipe the phone by flashing the 3 part stock firmware linked in Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' guide stickied in General.

As to the rest, no idea. I personally wouldn't bother with a phone in that state (I realise other people would, and that's fine, just stating what I'd do) I wasn't prepared to fix properly (I.E replace the screen).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1000bech:
Thanks for the tip, i'm downloading the ROM right now.

The phone is definitely in a bootloop, i used AndroidScreenCast and i can see the Samsung logo, then goes to black and then again the Samsung logo, i'm hopeful this ROM will solve the problem. :fingers-crossed:

Edit:

It worked!!! :D

Now the ROM boots completely, i can hear the sound of the menu and back buttons, but i'm not at home right now so i can't try MHL. And AndroidScreenCaster won't work because i don't have USB debugging enabled. I will report later. Thank you very much for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Good news ;) Yep, keep posting here if you have further problems & someone will help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1000bech:
Well, i have another problem now, i can't root the ROM because in recovery i have no MHL and AndroidScreenCaster won't work. I installed PhilZ kernel for XXLSJ with the help of Odin, but it doesn't root the phone, i think i need to flash SuperSu in recovery :(

I need root so i can install some remote control app like VNC Server, that would make everything so much easy.

Any idea about getting root via Odin or something like SuperOneClick? (i can't find information about this one, don't know if it works for i9100 on JB).

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Seems like you will have to go blindly for a cwm flash to install the su binary, otherwise if you can find a firmware which is vulnerable to the Exynos Exploit, you can use Exynos Abuse by Chainfire to root the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1000bech:
It was a lot easier :victory:

I decompressed SuperSu zip, and took a look at the updater-script, the phone was in recovery mode, with root privileges in ADB, thanks to PhilZ kernel.

I followed line by line the script, executing the commands with ADB and after a reboot, my phone was rooted, just had to use "input tap X Y" in ADB to confirm the root access for apps. Now the fun starts :D

Thanks for your help.
[Google Chromecast] TurboTronix:
Why doesn't Avia display my video add-ons? It showed it and then once I reinstalled XBMC it stopped.

I'm using a paid Avia and XBMC 12.3 Frodo installed on Win8. Not sure how to fix this issue...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Perhaps aVia made changes to support Gotham (XBMC 13) and they do Add On Display differently now?
[Google Chromecast] TurboTronix:
I've installed Gotham version of XBMC and now Avia does see the add-ons but not all, why some are not displayed?

For example this one is not displayed: http://tvteka.com/support/forums/5/topics/57
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well thats using an external Zip Source (outside of Officially supported add ons) which may mean it doesn't automatically update and may not be fully compatible with Gotham yet. Or perhaps aVia only supports official add ons at the moment.

Does it work on XBMC proper?

Add ons for these 3rd party programs (XBMC and Plex) are difficult to support because there are so many chefs cooking that soup...

1 - You got the original content provider who can change the way they stream their content and break it...

2 - You got XBMC changing to a new re-designed framework that could break it

3 - Then you got aVia Devs who may get some of what XBMC does working but not all of it yet.

I would say if it ever worked in aVia it will again once the dev figures out the new way of doing things in XBMC or Gotham becomes a stable official release as opposed to the beta it is currently.

Any time you go from a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM back to stock 534 you lose your IMEI. You have to go back to 4.3+ to get it back (or flash a modified 534 ROM like Nut's pre-rooted)

But I don't even root it yet …

and i never unlocked the bootloader before

Soooo is it something worng?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
No, it just says that you are allowed to unlock the bootloader. Some variants of the phone can't be unlocked.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urahara1120:

So it's nothing to do with root or not?

I thought it's suppose to be a NO there before root

Anyway thanks

Nope. If you CAN unlock the bootloader, it will say "yes". If the bootloader CANNOT be unlocked, it will say "no".

After unlocking the bootloader (Which is different to rooting) it will say

Your resolution in landscape mode is 1280 x 800. That will fit perfectly. However if you rotate to portrait then your image may not fit anymore. So if you make it 1280 x 1280 then it will fit, but some part of the image may be cropped. If the image is just a simple pattern you may not see the crop.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] Eric Karz:
There is a lot of info here that can help get you going .

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_2

after you get it going make a back up and STORE the back up on the pc would be my suggestion .

Parts you might have questions about feel free to post

include as much info as you can as this can help make it easier to understand the problem

IE,

TWRP Recovery installed 2.xx

I am on Version 2.3.xx release keys

ect

hth
[Fuhu Nabi 2] generatorlabs:
I think if I understand correctly, I should be able to restore the factory image using the restore function of TWRP.

In my case there is no backup there for me to utilize.

I put some files on a 16Gb sd card to see if the restore function would see them but it still shows up blank.

I checked the box that says "mount SD card" but I do not see the files.

I am sure it it something I am doing wrong.

I have posted pictures of what I see.....just in case I am not describing it correctly.

Thanks!
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Eric Karz:
see if you have a system folder

in twrp -under mount, put a check in system

then back out of mount

now click on Advanced/file manager/

Scroll down to Sytem - tap it to enter it .

IF you can see that its still in tact then try factory reset

Factory Reset is under the WIPE menu .
[Fuhu Nabi 2] generatorlabs:
Thanks for your help...

I found the folder SYSTEM and clicked on it.

I do not see any files on the right side and I only another folder called LOST+FOUND on the left side.

If I enter LOST+FOUND I also see no files on the right.

Can I copy the required files into the SYSTEM folder from a SD Card?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Eric Karz:
in Twrp restore you can pick just system to restore

just make sure that "SYSTEM' is the only thing with a checkmark
[Fuhu Nabi 2] generatorlabs:
When you say use TWRP RESTORE you are talking about the button on the home screen labeled RESTORE right?

If I go into RESTORE as described above I have the option of using EXTERNAL SD or INTERNAL STORAGE.

No matter which I choose there is nothing showing up in the PACKAGE TO RESTORE area.

The last picture in my original post shows exactly what I see when I go into RESTORE.

It is like the a backup was never done or somehow got erased.

Any ideas?

Thanks Eric
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Eric Karz:
what I was saying is that if you download something from the wiki like 1937 put that TWRP back up on your External SD card inside of the TWRP folder

then use the Restore function in TWTP.

it will show up along with data boot system etc.

you can just Restore system .

use your pc. place the back up on ext sd card .when finished place the external sdcard back in to nabi.

then boot in to twrp /use Restore and you should see it.(just checkmark system ) swipe to do the function

exit and reboot nabi
