It seems as if I'm in the minority in that I love this thing, especially for the front. After letting it cure for 12 hours (it even says on the instructions that optimally you let it sit powered off for 24 hours to let it cure) it doesn't even feel as if there's anything there. Functionality have been the same as if there wasn't a screen guard...
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Eh, it depends. Since it's a wet-apply, it's easy to end up with a poor application. Excess water, getting it stretched/dented during application (while squeegeeing out the water), stuck dust, etc. All are common and once that happens, it will look bad. If you apply it well, then it looks alright and feels okay. But sometimes it will still feel sticky, which is why I just have one for the back and not the screen.

I think XG is just fine, and not any worse than Zagg's stuff. It's just with Zagg, you can have Best Buy's people apply it for you, although I've seen them botch those installs as well.
[One (M8) Accessories] oconnell84:
My comment was based the the actual product prior to application. I order 3 items and every one was cut like it was done by a 5 year old with scissors. Just very poor quality. I applied one via directions and after 12hrs it still felt like crap. Zagg is much higher in quality and design but nothing beats glass.

[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Sometimes it happens, but you can either get a refund or replacement from them if you contact them. I still hate them for screen protectors, though. I'll probably grab the Zagg tempered glass at BBY once I trade in some stuff to them...

90% discount for 100% **** protector... they delivered me a protector which was folded in the corners and now they don't want to reply to my email.... at least chinese seller sell better screen protectors than XtremeGuard
[One (M8) Accessories] mikey2487:
i don't know about most of you guys but i'm liking these protectors, at least for the back that is, when i had the front one on there it felt to thick and immediately had a scratch on it after my keys rubbed on it for literally 1 second. the install wasn't that bad as long and you use soapy water and clean the phone before you apply it. i use it from a spray bottle and only spray it one time. once you get it fitted use the squeegee thing they give you but wrap it in the little microfiber cloth they give you so you don't scratch it. work out the water slowly so you don't stretch it out or anything. once it drys it is on there for good. i pulled one off the back yesterday to apply a new one because i put on to low and was irritating me. trying to pull this thing was seriously so hard, it left some residue on the back but some hot soapy water on a wash cloth took it right off. i don't have a problem with the protectors and for 90% seriously you can't beat that. i've used zagg before and its total crap, its so thick and just nasty feeling. ghost armor is a little better but after time it starts turning yellow. here are some pics of my phone with the back applied.

photo cred from my m7 so pics aren't as good as the m8 :cyclops:
[One (M8) Accessories] Gr8man001:
I agree. I have been using these protectors for the last 3 years and never had any issues. Yes, the protectors do become little 'sticky' right after the application but after cleaning with some good lens cleaner they work better than any other wet screen protectors, including Zagg. Also Xtreme protectors do not turn yellowish like some of the other wet-application protectors. Just my 0.02.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ark1406:
$80 of material for $9, sounds good to me. Even though it seems like a hit or miss with this company, I don't think they can screw up a case that badly. I'll end up selling a case to a friend for $10 and make all my money back. Seems like its worth the risk
[One (M8) Accessories] sameer1807:
Spent 1.9$ for the whole body kit, HD screen protector and another screen protector.. Great deal.. Not expecting high quality for $1.9.. Hope it works

Looks great,I ordered some for the back as well to go with a tempered glass screen protector
[One (M8) Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
having some trouble installing the back, never have done this kind of install before; using soapy water application. the sides are not sticking together and I have refered to the instructions; would love some help if anyone could provide
[One (M8) Accessories] iNiREALiZED:
If the sides are having trouble sticking instead of trying to force it over and over or applying more of the solution take a step back for a about 5 minutes and let it dry a bit. The adhesive will become more "tacky" and will adhere when pushed down again. At least that has been my experience with wet application products. Hope that helps!
[One (M8) Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
i did do that; still not working
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
I would suggest contacting them and trying to get a replacement, because at this point, it probably won't stick.

The best way to go about applying the back, that I've found anyway, is to put the phone in a tight-ish (i.e. TPU) case afterwards so that the film is held in place as it adheres.

Another thing is with the water solution. You do not want to use "soapy water" but just an extremely tiny amount of hand soap, and just flick some of the water under the protector. You don't want too much water under the protector, and you also don't want it to be too soapy (which could make it cloudy or cause bubbles). The film adheres as the water "dries" and you only need water in case your film wasn't lined up properly so you can remove and realign. The water is also, of course, so the film doesn't get stick onto your fingers.

For the corners, I typically use my fingers to press down on them for about 10 seconds which should have them stick long enough to slip it into a case. This is AFTER I've squeegeed out the excess water.

After it's been in the case and has adhered, it'll be pretty stuck on there.
[One (M8) Accessories] copualt3:
If your having problem with adhesion, it s probably has

Too much soap. I have good result with just Plain water spray, but it s harder to adjust. A little soap gives more play during the application process but takes longer to dry.

I love how they are nearly invisible, give extra traction and are cheap..

My girlfriend also likes them, and some friends have also used them with satisfaction.
[One (M8) Accessories] GrandAdmiral:
I ordered four full-body sets of which two of the screen protectors were bad. Contacted customer service and they immediately responded they would send me out some new ones. The protector fits fine on the screen once I got it on (will replace it once the new ones come due to a few specks of dust that got trapped. I don't think the quality is quite as good as the Skinomi I have on my One X, but for the price it's pretty decent.
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Arrived today. Was quick getting here in only seven days!

Anyway, have to say this is one of the easiest wet installs I've had to do. Just seemed to fall in place with little effort on my part. Compared to Zagg which seems to always get out of shape when installing, this was a breeze.

I only used the back protector as I have MIME Feather glass protector on front.

Download the ruu exe, run it and wait for the dialog to appear, then go to your Windows temp directory, sort by date and look in one of the most recently created folders, there you will find rom.zip, which is the encrypted zip.

So you are (were) probably on 4.1.2. Why do you need RUU? Do you have custom recovery (TWRP/CWM) installed? What does the output of 'fastboot getvar all' show? (Don't post the IMEI part)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNicOfTime:
I was flashing what I thought was a stock rom on my htc one but it did not go well and since then everything I flash doesn't work. So my hope was that by using an RUU I could simply return my phone to stock. I did have a custom recovery(CWM) but in the process of trying to flash the RUU I ran oem lock so my bootloader has been relocked and I am no longer able to get to my custom recovery. I can reunlock and reflash a custom recovery if I need to I just want to get my phone back to stock so that it is usable. As for the out put of the command 'fastboot getvar all' I am not currently home but will post that later today.

Hi, I have a question regarding the color availability for the Google Edition of the HTC One M8, if I check at the Play store it seems to be SILVER color, but it doesn't say anything

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/HTC_One_M8_Google_Play_edition?id=htc_m8

If I check the HTC web site I can only pick for the developer edition GREY or BRONZE

http://www.htc.com/us/go/buy-now-htc-one-m8/

Is the Developer Edition at HTC different than the Google Edition at the Play store?, bottom line I am looking for a SILVER color, thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
The only ones that have silver is Verizon and the Google play edition.. The other carriers only have the gun metal gray and gold.. For now anyway..

And yes the developer edition is different than the one on the play store.. I would advise you on reading the reviews and differences videos that are on the Web.. There are plenty of sites that go over the differences.. The only difference between the developer edition and a carrier version is 1. Bootloader is unlocked.. 2. No carrier bloat.. But runs the same software as the carrier version.. Developer edition gets updated faster than carrier editions but kit by much.. The GPE gets updates very quickly..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brosenz:
Thanks, I think the "unlocked" version at HTC.com has the silver color as well. Do you know if the Unlocked or Google Edition phones will work fine leveraging all the LTE bands with T-Mobile in the US?

i just bought 3 full body for 2.75 shipped.

I usually buy alot of these and keep extra to cut/fit new devices/gadgets. normally the front is protected by tempered glass and the back with wet install.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] liqn7:
Problem with these things is they usually come off within 6 months and stick fluff like no tomorrow.

Also definitely not recommended for the screen as it leaves a blurry and stick feeling.

With this brand you need buy them for something that has a bigger screen than your device and cut yourself if you want it fit properly.

I may have order one for a tablet so I can make some rear protectors for my Z2 and make one that fits my smartwatch since the one I got from then doesn't even close.

I guess there's a reason why they 90% off.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penser:
Since I rooted and installed TWRP and flashed the custom kernel that is required to continue using the stock ROM after installing TWRP, anytime I hold certain things (items on home screen in Nova), swipe up from the Navbar to bring up the ring, or tap the little gear in the sound popup (to show all the sound options instead of just ringer), my phone freezes completely for 2-4 seconds. It's especially bad with Swiftkey, which freezes after each button press. I don't actually use Swiftkey, I just wanted to see if it had changed since I last used it and it seems to have gotten worse. Holding or tapping anything in the AOSP and LG keyboards is fine, though. Bringing up recents by holding the home button works as usual without freezing.

Anyone know why this is happening or know of a fix?

EDIT: Only AOSP keyboard works, LG freezes after every press, just like Swiftkey.

EDIT: Discovered that disabling the "LG System Server 1.0" app was the issue.

Upgrading from Jelly Bean to KitKat is easy!

Disclaimer

As always, this carries a certain amount of risk so by using the guide below you agree not to hold me liable if your device turns into a very expensive paperweight (not at all likely but you have been warned! :) )

Prerequisites

Windows computer

You must be on a 4.3.X Jelly Bean (rooted stock or custom ROM)

You must have Safestrap installed

UrDroid Stock Rooted KitKat ROM.zip (Odexed or Deodexed) by [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] (everyone go hit his Thanks button!)

ODIN.zip (download in second post)

First Steps

Download ODIN.zip & extract the .zip to your desktop.

Download UrDroid Stock Rooted KitKat ROM.zip to your internal SD Card by following the download links in the ROM’s original thread (found here).

Once downloaded, boot into Safestrap.

*IMPORTANT* Make sure you have deleted any extra ROM Slots you have created and that you have your STOCK slot activated!

In Safestrap main menu, click on the WIPE button and go ahead and “factory reset” your device (wipe data + cache) like you always do before flashing a ROM.

Once you have wiped data, navigate back to the INSTALL button in SafeStrap.

Navigate to the UrDroid ROM.zip that you saved to your SD Card and proceed to flash the ROM to your stock slot.

Once the ROM has successfully flashed - navigate back to Safestrap menu & choose REBOOT & then DOWNLOAD.

Your phone will reboot into Download Mode.

Now, open the file located inside of ODIN.zip labeled “Odin & needed files are here” on your desktop.

Click on and run Odin3 v3.09.exe.

On the right hand side of Odin you will see different buttons labeled PIT, BL, AP, CP.

Click on the PIT button and select HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit. Now select BL and choose BL_N900AUCECMGL.tar. Now continue to match AP with the AP file and CP with the CP file.

Once all 4 files have been inputted into Odin plug in your phone and click START.

Let Odin finish its magic then reboot your device.

Welcome to KitKat!!!

Next Steps

Now that you are on KK you need to sideload Safestrap v3.72.apk and install it to your device.

Once you’ve installed it go ahead and open it up and INSTALL Safestrap.

Once you have Safestrap installed it is important to note that you cannot mix Jelly Bean & KitKat ROMs with Safestrap….you must stick to KitKat based ROMs (it is possible this will change in the future...if it does I will update this post!)

Now that you are running rooted stock KitKat w/Safestrap feel free to flash whatever Custom ROM you'd like to try out!
