[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Galveira:
I bought clear protective shield from a company based on UK called the Ultimate Shield. If you guys are familiar with the products from Bodyguardz, its pretty much same product.

I ordered it from ebay and the price is AU $19.99.

It comes with installation guide, small lint free cloth, squeegee and the product itself. The clear shield comes in total of 7 pieces.

1. screen

2. main back cover (covers metal backing)

3. bottom back (back of the device below the metal backing)

3. bottom

4. top back

6. top 1(ear phone socket)

7. top 2

Hopefully this will give you the idea where each pieces go.

This is somewhat different with normal screen protectors we see and the installation procedure may feel radical.

Not like others, this requires water for the installation(soapy water to be accurate). With the water applied at the back of the shield, you can quite easily move it around into correct position and it starts to adhere to the device as it dries.

The fitting was quite good and I was very satisfied with all the cut outs for speakers, camera, SD card slot and ear phone jack.

I had no problem with installation at the back (2~7), but I had some imperfection at the screen, but the installation guide says some imperfection will be clear within 1~3 days so I'll wait and see.

If there is anyone looking for a protection that does not add any weight and size, I think this is pretty good choice.

I also ordered a case from ebay and see the device fits with the clear shield.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] spsantos:
Looks very preety and it´s a good protection.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] cutterline:
Just installed this.

I would only recommend this if you don't want to put any covers as it doesn't cover the top and bottom facing sides.

The application was not hard but not that easy either.

Grip ability is certainly grippier than the metal backplate but it is only a smaller increment than the initial one. You get the haptic feeling of "this might get occasional slide" even though it is grippier than it feels

I'll compare again when my voia jelly case comes and see which route is the best for protection with weight compromise.
[G Pad 8.3 Accessories] Mikegrmn:
Same here. I glued mine on a couple of weeks ago. I especially bought it because it doesn't add bulk. Although mine didn't come with a screen protector. So I made a felt sleeve for it.

Installation was fairly easy. But then, I'm a DIY guy. People on Amazon rated the installation process as fairly complicated, but to every one his own.

What I find is, that if it's warm and your fingers get a bit sweaty, it slides quite easily from your hands if you're not careful. The cases with textured back side may be better if you need the grip.
[One (M7) General] cr1960:
Looks great mate. Don't know if I could be bothered with all the work myself, but props to you for creating such a unique result.
[One (M7) General] zumyman46:
I wonder if it is posible to polish a black one?
[One (M7) General] Crackanug:
My brother-in-law's is black... He wants to try all this out, I may report back if he decides to go through with it..
[One (M7) General] Vonrottes:
Chrome One...It actually looks amazing.
[One (M7) General] UltraNoob:
kinda looks like the m8. Can you put a clear coat or something to seal everything so that it doesnt scratch so easily?
[One (M7) General] Dark Jedi:
I remember I saw on a truck show there is a sealant that could be used on chrome wheels to keep them shiny and scratch resistant but forgot what the product was called. Without some type of sealant you will get scratches back in no time flat like the I phones do. This is a great idea of if you want a chrome look and the etching is icing on the cake. You are only limited by your imagination. Could really make your phone yours.
[One (M7) General] robgee789:
That's awesome mate it looks great in chrome
[One (M7) General] Crackanug:
I thought about this since this phone is mostly an experiment before picking up the new M8. I forgot who made it, but there is a spray paint that gives the "appearance" of an anodized metallic look in different colors. I know that sounds counterintuitive since I removed the stock anodization, again, this is mainly an experiment. I was thinking of doing some kind of a fade between two colors and then a clear coat.

I almost wanted to keep it just chrome without the etch, and I almost stopped after seeing the dull brushed aluminum look because I liked it so much..
[One (M7) General] renehd2:
Are you talking about plastidip??
[One (M7) General] JMB2772:
Wow, I've never even imagined the One with a "chrome" look like that. It's gorgeous. Unfortunate that it gets scratched up like that, though.
[One (M7) General] arbank94:
Wow this is epic. How long did the entire process take all together?
[One (M7) General] diselhead:
tnx FOR SHARING..

I will start polishing very soon. Tnx for great idea and i will post picture result :)
[One (M7) General] ptg520i:
Good Job!!
[One (M7) General] diselhead:
First look. After sandpaper i accidentally damage camera lens. But,i try a tip from youtube with toothpaste and now is maybe better than before everything. Just perfect solution for camera lens.. Now i only need to start polishing with some polish paste and we will see resoults soon..
[One (M7) General] CaelanT:
Will work the same. Anodizing only creates a hardened surface a few microns thick. The sand paper will rub through this quickly leaving the base aluminium colour underneath. The anodize process is what is used to surface harden and create different coloured aluminium surfaces. If your brother in law expects to have a polished black surface afterwards, he won't.
[One (M7) General] Crackanug:
Looks good so far. :good:

If I recall, those microns sure put up a good fight against the sand paper... :eek:
[One (M7) General] CaelanT:
65-70 HRC..................yes...............very hard surface after anodizing. :fingers-crossed:

Sandpaper is also not the best medium for breaking through it either, but definitely the safest to prevent damaging the aluminium below it.
[One (M7) General] bentleyboy:
Hot damn this looks gorgeous just plainly polished. The chrome/mirror look is niiiice - might have get scrubbing this afternoon.
[One (M7) General] shishir95:
I kind of want to sand my One down and hit it with some automotive grade basecoat and a few coats of clear coat. Anyone have any experience? Will it give me the beautiful glossy finish I think it will?
[One (M7) General] kartik.kayz:
Awesome
[One (M7) General] ledmeister:
That is superb! How did you make the template?
[One (M7) General] Philipp_94:
I want to know what it would look like if you did this with a black phone. I know it would be also like a mirror but, how would the phone completely look?
[One (M7) General] jdgreat4:
Wow. You should start a service. You'd get a lot of cash ;)
[One (M7) General] CaelanT:
In all honesty would probably not look good. Only the surface is anodized, and this is what holds the colour, so if you rub on it with emery paper or sandpaper you will go through this surface to bare aluminium below it. Only way I could see this looking good would be if you were able to "feather" the colour to make it look like a big worn area on the back of the phone.
[One (M7) General] lagittaja:
That's looks so awesome!

Also this must've been said a few times already but I'm in a bit of a hurry. It feels warmer in your hand because the surface of the phone is much smoother now than what it was before. In other words there's less air caught in between the phone's surface and your hand/fingers and since air really isn't a good conductor of heat..
[One (M7) General] kloan:
Well done man, it looks great!
[One (M7) General] exebreez:

[One (M7) General] zute333:

[One (M7) General] soulshot96:
I am currently in the process of doing this to my M7. It looks great, but the damn letter C fell off the back and when I attempted to glue it back on the super glue pretty much melted it...but alas, the underlying design, if polished up a bit looks quite unique and nice. So no harm no foul. But if you don't want it looking like that, be careful around those damn letters.
[One (M7) General] xymay:
That's fantastic. :good:
[One (M7) General] marc4eva:
I've used a similar technique on my aluminum rims. In the US there is a brand by the name Poor Boy's that makes a sealant for chrome rims that lasts about 3 months but that just locks in the shine preventing dulling by oxidation. For the scratches, wouldn't a clear adhesive protector for the back cover do the trick while preserving the look? If they don't already come custom made by brands like Armorsuit, there are stores that 3D scan your phone and custom make the protector for about 40USD
[One (M7) General] keithcva51:
Very Awesome!
[One (M7) General] Wetbreadguy:
One small question

So I know this is a semi old post (going towards 2 years now) but i am thinking of doing this to my one m8 now that im saving for a 6p and will be getting one in two months. My only question is are the antennas in any danger as Im sanding? do i need to cover them with tape as i sand our should i just do it regardless of the antennas? Thanks for answering on such an old post, great job btw!
[Fairphone 1] Vinnl:
Has any one else experienced the issue that the Fairphone performs a soft reboot when turning on USB storage, effectively making it impossible to transfer files to/from your phone the normal way? I have disabled the mood background, so that can't be it...

As a workaround, for now I'm transferring files through adb, but that's far from ideal.
[Fairphone 1] palmbeef:
Same problem here. Today I recognized that there is no connection via USB possible anymore. Didn't use this function for some days but always I try right now it leads to softreboot. Still using 1.1 Caju.
[Fairphone 1] boondiordna:
Reproducible. Possible workaround:

Yes, this is reproducible.

What works for me: turning on USB debugging, turning of XPrivacy and GravityBox, re-initialise XPosed framework, hard-reboot.

I figured it might have something to do with XPrivacy, but I'm not able to do further research at the moment.

I also got no time to edit the Wiki - could someone please do that? If you've got an account here, you can edit the wiki, folks! If you do, could you consider adding info on this thread for faster A-GPS locks?

/backtowork
[Fairphone 1] Vinnl:
Since there's no real solution yet, what should we put on the wiki and where? Here?

Since I use XPrivacy and GravityBox as well, it might be related to (one of) those. Another partial workaround I have is to connect the phone to my computer, then in the notification drawer touch "Touch for other USB options", and then select either "Media device (MTP)" or "Camera (PTP)" as opposed to the default "USB storage". This will only be useful when you want to transfer media (audio, pictures, videos, ...) to and from your device though...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lynx3ffect:
Hey Guys,

I'm not an expert at this. I recently took my rooted phone to a phone shop and the guy said he could unlock my phone for me for £10.00. He did it, but since then my phone restarts during calls.. I asked the guy to fix it and he said "because my phone is rooted, the kernel was damaged". Now, am i correct in thinking that the kernel can just be re-flashed along with a new rom? I have added custom roms to this phone before but now I cant unlock the boot loader. It won't work in flashtool, it gives me a "your phones bootloader cannot be unlocked". Any ideas?

So I was reading that if you have an Unlimited data plan and get throttled when you reach 5GB you can change your data plan to one of the other unlimited data plan options and you'll stop being throttled for another 5GB. I see that there's three other unlimited data plan options for me on the website. Does anyone know what the actual difference is between these? Has anyone tried what I said? Does it work? Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
The first one is unlimited data AND text messages for $50.

The second one is unlimited data BUT only 200 text messages for $35.

The third arrow is unlimited data only add on for non lte phones. Text message plan separate.

The final arrow is unlimited data add on for lte phones. Text message plan separate.

So it all depends on how many text you send a month. You could hurt yourself.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
CM11 - doesn't work with headphones reliably. Voice fades in and out.

ViperOneS - looks fantastic. Except it hangs up frequently and cannot redial unless you reboot. Then it randomly reboots for no reason.

Is there a decent ROM that can make a call and maintain it with headphones or without??
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Try Beanstalk, TwistedKat or CandyKat.

For headphones, try to edit build.prop and change the following entry from "persist.audio.handset.mic=digital" to "persist.audio.handset.mic=analog"
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Thank you. Will see if it works.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Private.Indo:
hi.

i have question that bothered me now and then.

how do you mount internal storage in pc. for example i wipe out everything, including internal storage (read as sd ext in recovery), evrytime i go in to recovery pick mount usb. it doesnt show any activities in my windows explorer. i go to my computer --> properties --> device manager there is icon nexus 5 with yellow warning on it. try to update driver but return in fail "windows was unable to instal nexus 5"

is there because linux partition on internal storage? so windows cannot load it? or i got wrong version of "usb driver"? or do you have better method? i'd like to know :)

now everytime i'm flashing rom wipe all data + cache + sd ext, reboot system, after to home screen or my device is on, my pc can transfer files, after done with transferring i reboot to recovery again and then apply rom :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
This phone doesn't support USB mass storage. Instead there is MTP, but this can only be used while the phone is booted into android. Therefore the only way to copy files to the device while in recovery is to use adb push.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Private.Indo:
yes i's trying using method adb push, but my nexus doesnt recognize by pc when phone is turn off or in recovery mode, my pc or adb push only work if my nexus is turn on or booted up.

any sugestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Search for this on google: naked usb driver 0.73 xda

Click on the first search resault then download the driver.

If you have windows 8 or 8.1 turn off driver signature enforcement.

Open device manager and install the driver for the unknown android device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReaLiZeNL:
Hi,

I'm a 16 year old boy, which wanted to install a custom ROM on my HTC One S Villec2

Yesterday I rooted my phone, to install a custom ROM. I didn't manage to flash it (First Status 7, and after Status 1) And this morning I wanted to give it another try.

I copied the ROM onto my SD card, and tried to flash it, but I realised that I didnt't wipe the System, Cache and SD-Card.

So I wiped it, but I didn't make a back-up!

Now I've got a HTC with no OS, and no ROM. Even the standard Jelly Bean (4.1.1 - S4+) is gone.

USB-Debugging is disabled. since there is no OS running on the HTC.

I googled about putting the standard ROM back on, and it says you need to remove the SD-Card from the HTC.

The problem is; You can't remove the SD-Card from the HTC One S, since it's built in, and not removable.

I want to go back to the standard OS, while USB Debugging is disabled and I can't reach the SD-Card from my Computer. Is this possible?

I'm a beginner, and used HTC One S All-In-One tool to root it.

Is my phone bricked or is there any hope?

Bootloader: Unlocked

Recovery: TWRP v2.4.3.0

Kind regards,

Steve (ReaLiZeNL)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCDreamOn:
ReaLiZeNL USB Debugging isn't disabled, you can still use ADB when booted into recovery, so boot into TWRP whilst plugged into your computer and run

adb devices

on your computer, and it should be listed. If not, there might be an option to enable it in TWRP. run the command again, and once it's listed you'll be able to flash an OS, look up how to do this, there are many guides.
