Im guessing they invested to improve yields and light transitability.... I doubt you will see it any time soon in phones, other than lens covers/home buttons. Apple won't switch to something with all those drawbacks, until improvements are made espesially since they use smaller batteries.

Had mine for a month without screen protector and not a scratch.
[G2 Accessories] SpikeDrums:
I have never used a screen protector.

Phone goes in my empty pocket, or face down on a flat surface. The case keeps it raised when it's face down.

I find the protectors to lessen the vividness of the screen and attract way more visible smudges.
[G2 Accessories] afrojoc:
Screen protector for sure. Some of you say that you prefer your screen naked which is perfectly fine but Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof. You will end up getting scratches on it regardless but they won't affect your screen much when the display is on but if you put your phone at an angle and let some light reflect on it you will see a few scratches. But why risk it if you can prevent it for only a couple of bucks for a screen protector off of eBay. The difference in quality of the screen is going to be negligible and you'll be protected. Its a no brainer in my book to protect your $600 device but to each their own.
[G2 Accessories] datawrhsdoc:
Fully agree, and with the iLoome Flex, I can't even tell there is screen protector on the device. No perceptible changes in vividness and highly smudge resistant...can't remember the last time I wiped down the face of the device.
[G2 Accessories] Daniellogic:
After using a S3 and a S4 both without screen protection for a year each, decided to go with a smudge resistant screen protector on the G2, not because of the fear of scratches, realized how much I hate so much grease on my screen :P
[G2 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
I remember people on many forums saying GG1 phones that they had never got/barely got scratches, while GG2 is scracthes galore. Some have said that its the chemical layer (Oleophobic) getting scratched on GG2. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Conincedentally my GS1 and G2X dont have scratches but a few on my One X and 2nd G2.

[G2 Accessories] New Rising:
First thing I do before I use a new phone is get a case and screen protector on it. I'm kinda ocd about having any nicks or scratches on my phone. You people going naked are crazy.
[G2 Accessories] eviltonyblair:
I'm running without a screen protector for now. I did try an oleo phobic one from Amazon but I swear it just made it worse so I took it off.
[G2 Accessories] jboyer0000:
No screen protector here.. Don't really see the need with gorilla glass 3 :)
[G2 Accessories] roor1337:
I used to run without a screen protector but then I noticed a small scratch on the screen (not surprising since I kept it in my pockets with my keys). After some quick research I decided on the iLoom flexmate and other than its minimalist coverage (not a big issue since my case covers everything else) its a really good screen protector. The only minor difference I feel is that the naked screen has a slicker feel. The iLoom, IMO, gives a more precise touch especially when using swipe to type.
[G2 Accessories] prosmb:
Scratch Proof!

I used my LG Optimus Black for 18 Months Naked and believe me there was not a single scratch on it and i used it roughly during the last 5 months!

My father uses his Note 2 Naked and it has no scratches on it..been using it for a year!

I used my LG G2 naked for 2 months it remained scratch less! But i have a Screen Protector on now! I noticed that G2 was more smooth without a screen protector and sometimes I feel the responsiveness of the screen is not as high as it is without a screen protector! :good:
[G2 Accessories] fleeting_dreams:
Unlucky for me, I noticed a scratch last night after using my phone naked for 4 months. I don't know where it came from as I am really careful with my phone. I think it's pretty deep too since I can feel it when I run my fingernail over it. Oh well. Decided to put a Zagg screen protector to prevent further scratches. It has the added effect of hiding the scratch too, so I definitely feel better now.
[G2 Accessories] alizaga:
Nope!

Please don't do that, get a cover because my keys somehow did a little scratch on top screen. Fortunately it's not bad but I rushed to apply one

No screen guard

I have had my g2 for 3 months now without a screen protector and the screen hasnt been scratched

But I have a cruzerlite case and though the phone has fallen 2-3 times the screen is perfectly fine :)
[G2 Accessories] Lebber:
I have my G2 for 5 months now, not using any screenprotector at all. And the screen is still completely scratchless.

I did the same with my former Samsung Galaxy S3 for a year and that screen did not scratch as well.

[G2 Accessories] SupremeJaguar:
for me, a screen protector is a must. If you can spend hundreds on a phone like this, then why can't you spend a little more on a screen protector?

Because screen touch feels better without a screen protector maybe?...

[G2 Accessories] GeneralMills777:
Had none on my Galaxy Nexus and it was terrible near the end of it's life. My Moto X had none and it was beautiful. None on my G2 for the first week and it seems awesome so far.
[G2 Accessories] iisshaun:
The GNex has some other type of tempered glass (DragonTail?). It was softer than Gorilla Glass, and made it more susceptible to scratching but a little bit less prone to smashing. I never use a case or screen protector on any of my phones and the Galaxy Nexus was the only one to ever get scratches that you could see and feel (Everything else has little micro-scratches that can only be seen at specific angles). The GNex was the only phone I've dropped too, and it was on concrete right at the corner too. The screen was fine but the plastic body had to be replaced ($20, good as new).

So yeah, Gorilla Glass is fine without a protector, unless you mistreat your device.
[G2 Accessories] Moppusan:
From an iPod Touch 4G to an iPhone 4 to my LG G2 I agree. Never once scratched my screen, even after accidentally putting my keys in the same pocket.

Now, when I used my vibrating plate hand sander, that's a different story. Especially 150 grit. Yikes. HA can you imagine? I'd never do that to my one true love: my LG G2 (don't tell my wife).
[G2 Accessories] rebar71:
no screen protector, no scratches - 9 months. my phone never goes in the same pocket with my keys. i do use a slim case - Tudia Melody. the case has a big enough lip around the edges that i can put the phone face down without the screen making contact with the surface it's resting on.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadzir:
I'm following step by step process to root my gt-s5310 using ODIN 3.07. Started from download mode and connect to the PC is no problem at all. ODIN finished with the GREEN PASS. When I tried to open recovery mode, only android recovery mode is open(but malfunctioning, going no where when I press the home button) that recovery mode also don't has "install zip from sd card" option.

My android version is 4.1.2 . Baseband version S5310DXAME2. Kernel version 3.0.15-1521875 se.infra@SWDA2309#1

Please help me to solve the issue. Attached is the recovery mode picture
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
After the successful flash of the CWM file in Odin, do you let it auto reboot? Many Samsung phones have a built in script that checks to see if the recovery partition has been modified and then reapplies the factory recovery file back to it. Try this: Have the phone in hand with fingers on button combo for recovery (most Samsung phones with physical home buttons are typically Home + Volume Up along with Power, but you won't need to do the ) and when it reboots, hit the combo for recovery and it should boot to CWM, then you'll be able to do a nandroid backup and install the stuff you want. If you want to keep the stock rom and CWM recovery, you'll have to get root access and remove the script.

What's the other hole at the bottom of the USB for? I noticed that the USB cable that comes with the S5 covers both holes but I've been using a Micro USB to charge it...does it make it charge faster or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
USB 3.0 standard plug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] djricekcn:
i see...so it's mainly for data transfering then? or does it charge faster to compared with microusb (looking from bottom, i only have it plugged in the right side with micro usb)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chastity:
It charges a lot faster indeed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] paesan:
The difference is usb 3 vs usb 2. If you are using for instance an S4 cable you are connected at usb 2 speeds. The cable supplied with the S5 has 2 parts because it is usb 3 connection. You will definitely get a faster data transfer speed using the usb 3 cable. I would guess that charging would be faster also but I can't verify that. One of the big upgrades in the S5 is usb 3 compared to usb 2 for the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Eric214:
That's also reliant on the fact that your PC or whatever it is you are connecting to is USB 3. You can't get USB 3 speeds if your connecting to a USB 2 port on the PC.

I have the 4.2.2 rooted, and I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.2, is it really as simple as just getting a 4.4.2 ROM? or are there any other things I need? I'm sorry I'm pretty new when it comes to android stuff, it scares me really the thought of accidentally getting a $700 paperweight.

other information:

kernel version is 3.4.0-453951 se.infra@SEP-133#1

OK so an update. I guess I literally don't have any idea what I'm doing, I just spent about 2 hours reading around here and honestly couldn't find a single guide or even where to start on how to do this, install a custom rom or anything. I seriously regret rooting and wish I could just do this OTA...... the root benefits do not outweigh what i'm expected to know to upgrade now :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Hello friend, do not be discouraged. Do you have access to a PC? I sure hope so. First things first, download the latest version of TWRP recovery, it's great. Flash it via ODIN in the PDA slot. Okay now you have a good new recovery, now you need the latest baseband. What you need to do is download the NB4 baseband before you do anything as far as getting a ROM. There are tutorials in the general section of the T-Mobile s4. You're going to download the modem, flash it via ODIN by extracting the zip and placing it into the phone slot of odin(the tutorials are way better at the steps then I am) then flashing, and then you'll be on the newest baseband(modem). Then you need to find yourself a ROM. Thess can be found in the Android development section of the T-Mobile s4. I personally recommend Insane Kitkat. But find one that you like... I hope this helped friend. Let me know. :)

Edit: if you're not sure how to get to any of these things, Google them! Google NB4 modem T-Mobile s4, Google TWRP T-Mobile s4.. Etc.. It's easy!

[ROM] Insane Kit Kat[TW- NB4][AROM

Here's the ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Patrickq1236:
So I JUST did the NB4 thing you linked and it worked fine, I already downoaded the insane rom, it looked cool.

I guess my next question is, what exactly do I do to install the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
Alright so you've got nb4 modem and twrp recovery now? Did you make sure nb4 stayed? Is it in your phone info? The baseband should end in NB4 now. We'll once you have the ROM, place it on your external sd card then boot into recovery by turning off your phone. Now hold the volume up key + Power until the device boots into Samsung logo and you'll see blue letters at top left, let go of buttons at that point. You'll see TWRP image then you're in your recovery. Now you're gonna go to advanced option or whenever the advanced wiping option is located. Wipe system, internal, etc. Wipe everything EXCEPT external SD card and the last option, don't wipe external because that's where the ROM is. Now, go back to home of the TWRP, DO NOT REBOOT. Now click install, navigate to your external sd card and find the ROM. Select it and it select full install. You're given a bunch of different options as to what you want added. After it installs, reboot and you're good to go. Thess instructions can be found on the page where you got the ROM. He tells you to do a full wipe, etc. Let me know how it goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Patrickq1236:
soooooooo yeah. I did that. moved the zip over to the SD card, booted into recovery mode, wiped, went back to install and now I can't find the zip. i know it's there because I double checked to make sure it was moved. it would help if TWRP wasn't so picky and chooses the FIRST thing i come close to tapping. I think I just screwed up :(

So I think I just found it, it was way at the bottom, and I like I said I couln't move anything without going somewhere else, almost always.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JORDVN:
I'm confused friend. So you moved it to your external sd card? And when you went into the install option in TWRP you made sure you were in the external sd card section? At the top it says internal by default every time and you have to tap it then navigate to external then find your file. Easiest way is to make a folder on external called "ROM" place it in there, then go into recovery and flash. What do you mean by TWRP being picky?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Patrickq1236:
I got it now, and the phone is working fine, thank goodness lol. But what i meant was as soon as I would try to scroll no matter where I taped to start scrolling it wouldn't give me the chance to move my finger, it wouldn't even recognize that I even tried to move, it would just go

Hi All,

I just got one question related to signal. This is not blocking or changing performance but this is something I have been faced each time I used a Viper rom on my phones.

First, I am from France and problem was present while I was with SFR and still present with Orange FR.

Let me just give as example with Orange FR I am currently on.

With the stock ROM, the icon at home was switching from H to H+ depending whereI am. At the Office I was between 4G and 3G+.

Now I have installed the ViperRom, and I only see the H signal at home or around and 4G at office.

I have now installed GSM signal monitor and for example at home, I got the H icon and the monitor is displaying HSPA+ so icon does not match the band I am on ...

I also got a HTC One Mini, S-OFF, and now only got the 4G icon even at home where 4G coverage is not present.

It seems that there is a setting for French carrier that make the icon accurate ....

Where is the setting to get more details on this ?

I have a backup of the stock rom, are there parameters I can extranct and use on custom rom ?

Many thanks for answers.
