Ok so my gf got the S5 and she is trying to find a good screen protector, I personally like wet application screen protectors because they are the easiest to get on and have the best adhesion. So i was wondering if there was any good one for the S5?

She wants one that is clear, scratch resistant, and smug resistant but dont cost an arm and leg (a round the 20 mark max)?

If there isn't one that is water application but still have really good adhesion (meaning it stick to the edges of the phone) then will be willing to consider that as well.

Thanks in advance!!! :)

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
Ok, have you considered a tempered glass protector? Adhesion isnt an issue and it doesnt get any easier to apply that these. However, if you are stuck on using the wet apply, ive always had good luck with the Zagg HD.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] LotoTutu:
How about these Galaxy S5 Screen Protectors?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
No she's never considered tempered glass protectors before and when I explained it to her she didn't seem all that interested in it since it's kinda became the trend where we both didn't have a screen protector on our last phone and suffered minimal scratches. So don't see the need for something as extreme as an extra layer of glass. But maybe the Zagg HD might work thanks.

I typically tend to stay away from items that don't come with a few customer reviews, its always better to have the opinion of a few people that have tried that way I have a better idea about what it is i am purchasing.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
Just a little more info. The tempered glass protectors do add a little more protection than the regular protectors but that's no where near the reason I recommend them. It's for the feel. It feel like you don't have a protector at all....like using the phone naked. Just my 2 cents. Since I started using them a couple years I won't use anything else.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
oh ok, well I've never used them but from what i've look up on them, they seem to add a bit of thickness to the screen does it not? also there can be issues with certain cases as well?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
There are typically several options available. For example spigen and mime are the two companies whose glass I've used and they both offer ultra thin versions or standard versions with rounded edges. Personally I prefer the rounded edges as the transition from the home button and such is smooth as can be. As far as case issues I've never had that problem. Especially on phones like the s5 where the bezel actually has its own little lip anyways.

I did a review on the neo hybrid somewhere in the accessories forum and I have my screen protector on in those pics but I don't recall if there is a good view or not. I will gladly take a couple photos and post them here for you on my lunch break.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
well if you could be so kind :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bodson66:
Tempered glass is the way to go, adds a little bit of thickness but feels like using the phone naked, I had the zagg HD on while I waiting for my glass ones to come in. The Zagg was very good for the wet application but still has that rubbery feel all wet application suffer from. Look on ebay or amazon you can get them dirt cheap for around 5 dollars, I usually buy 4 at a time and once they get a little beat up or the anti finger print coating starts to wear off I replace them.

here's the ebay link for the ones I got

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261439516711?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
Not sure if these will help or not.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
not sure i would trust that since they didnt speel 'Samsung' correctly on the post. :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
cool, I showed her the pic, but she don't really want to spend that much for it lol, I probably will get 1 though, btw which version do you have on your phone, the .2 or the .23?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
http://mimeusa.com/product/galaxy-s5-ghost-glass-screen-protector/

That's the one I'm rockin on this phone and I love it. The Featherlite version mm offers is too brittle imo.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
oh ok, well its cheaper so that would be the better choice, i guess the last question is, how anti fingerprint is it really?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
I think it's just as good if not better than the stock screen.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
Well big thanks i think I might have her sold on the Mime ghost glass, heck think i might replace my skinomi with one too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bodson66:
lol typos happen don't spend 25 dollars on the same thing that cost five. I got mine in 12 days shipped for free. I have tried probably every brand of tempered glass out there in the last 3 years. I bought 60 dollar ones and 5 dollar ones, the only thing to make sure of is that they have an oleophobic coating.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
Typos do happen. That being said the oleophobic coating is definitely not the only thing to worry about. Fit is important and the cheaper ones don't necessarily have the exact fit but the may. Hardness is extremely important as its what determines scratch resistance. Thickness is also a big deal. The difference between .3mm and .23 mm doesn't seem like much but it can create an obvious lip and also cause case issues. Also, rounded edges are a huge deal and not all glass protectors have them. And the thicker the protector the more important rounded edges become.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
Lol I guess just reminded me of an "iPod like" thing I almost brought lol
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bodson66:
Like I said I've tried them all, curved edges are nice but I have yet to chip one that doesnt have them. The thinner they are the more brittle as well. I had a .2mm glas tr and it shattered very easily when dropped on a wood floor. The oleophobic coating wears off on all of them after 1-2 month depending how often you wipe your phone clean. I have yet to have one not be a perfect fit as well. I was a long time spigen user but then switched to the ebay cheap ones and couldn't be happier.

Brands I've owned

Spigen

Clairvue

Ghost Armour

Crystal Armour (best one I've had but cost me 70 dollars didnt need a cutout for the proximity sensor for my Z1)

Xgear Fanthom

Glass-M

Wilco

about 10 other brands from ebay they always seem to come in different packages

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

lol that's awesome
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gungrave223:
well maybe i can get a cheapo one from eBay to see how much i like it as a starter, cause you couldn't pay me to spend 70 on a screen protector lol.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Stevez48:
Anyone use the verizon brand tempered glass? I get a discount on accessories so that is why i ask...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] cloudraker:
Any idea who actually makes it? I know the AT&T version is made by bodyguardz and it's alright except it doesn't have curved edges which is really important to me.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Fadeless:
I have pre-ordered the Xperia Z2 here in the UK and it does not come with the magnetic charger. So before I buy one, I wanted to know what the actual benefit or pro's of having a magnetic charger?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] AirSupply:
The only benefit is that the phone can be charged without open the flap cover on the top left of your phone. The magnetic charger also avoids damaging the USB port in the long run.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] dwoodwar:
I would also add its probably much quicker to dock it than open the flap and pop in the cable
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] pauley:
+1 for not having to open flaps. I also like the idea of the phone not flying off a table when someone or a pet trips on the cable, and that the magnetic one should just detach easily.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] numskull:
i have the magnetic lead, and altho it does detach easily if cord gets pulled it will still move the phone a bit, so dont leave it near the edge of table lol
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] shook187:
I personally think these chargers are a complete waste of money and pretty much rubbish. Cheaply made, horrible fit. I use them on several Xperia phones and one's phone never gets fully charged at a hundred percent with them. If not opening the flap is the only reason you buy these charger , Sony is laughing at you.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Fadeless:
I think I'll put off buying one for now, doesn't seem to be that useful.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] AirSupply:
You can buy the dock. They work perfectly
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
i'm not sure how did u come to that conclusion.

I have been on magnetic cable since day1.

And Sony's original magnetic cable may i add. It is solid and well built and excellent fit on the strong magnet.

It charges to 100% as it should in the same amount of time as any usb cables.

and the reason why i have this cable both at home and office is so I dont have to open the flaps.

I used to have a Z and opening and closing the flaps is really a hassle.

not to mention that the rubber seals at the flaps get worn out over time

If any recommendation is needed, go get yourself the original Sony magnetic cables, and not third parties.

Saw many horrible reviews on third parties cables, as with shook187 input above, poorly made, took long time to charge etc
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] JMonkeYJ:
Do you know where to get original Sony cables? From what I can tell, Sony doesn't sell them separately, only as a part of their docks. It's unknown if the cables you get from other sources are official.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Fadeless:
Can you post a link for the original Sony cables, can't seem to find any.

I am considering buying a cheaper version of the dock, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnetic-De...9&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=magnetic+charger+z2 but not sure if its a complete scam.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
here u go. i got the exact same ones but got it locally in my country.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Ori..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item417e8c2f98
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] cr0wnest:
The biggest benefit would be you never have to open the flaps when charging the device. That'll prevent the waterproofing from wearing out as easily, though Sony claims the flaps should last throughout the life time of the device.

Anyway I've been using the magnetic cable since day 1 and have had no problems at all. I'm using the official cable which is strong enough for you to pickup and use the phone while charging. It'll still detach or "rock" about if you move it but it's no big deal.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] JMonkeYJ:
Where did you get yours from?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] cr0wnest:
I got it from someone locally. Not sure if you can find official ones online. And I've heard of 3rd party magnetic cables not working at all, so that's something to keep in mind.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] corallus:
I use a 3rd party adapter that I attach on to the official charger that came with my z1, my experience of it has been nothing but positive being honest.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] ali87:
There's no such thing as a "Original" or "Genuine" magnetic charging cable from Sony, they're all 3rd party, the boxes are fake.

If the accessory is not listed on sonymobile.com then it's not genuine.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
LOL seriously, just because it's not listed its not genuine.

im not too sure how should i go about answering that
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] ali87:
It ain't meant to be answered, it's a fact, not a question.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I don't think those cables are from Sony. Looks like fake.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
well, users of the above cables have given positive feedback on those. Like i mentioned, the built quality etc are as good as originals. Whether they are original Sony or not I'm very much inclined to think they are as they have all the traits of original Sony cable. They charge exactly as the USB cables.

However, if u have not tried them, have not see them (except in pictures maybe), have not feel them, have not even had a glimpse of these cables in real, and u feel they are fakes etc, by all means go ahead. :good:

The damning questions would be, why don't Sony sell them? Easy, they do not want these cables to cannibalise into their greater revenue generating product, which are the docks.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Tesep:
They are fake, but if it makes you feel better, you can think they're real. With that said, I have purchased that cable.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
well Tesep, we can go on on this until the cow comes home, but i suppose u will probably understand what i mean when u receive the cables
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
I did not say they are bad quality. Indeed they look quite polished.

I'm seriously considering buying those too. Just like you, I'm wondering why Sony doesn't sell them and/or include one in the original package.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
Original or not aside, among all the cables out there I would recommend those that come in the Sony box (oh the irony LOL!)

Like i have mentioned, Sony probably didn't consumers to purchase the cheaper magnetic cables over the more expensive charging docks.

Those docks cost quite a bit for what they do.

talking about docks, i would like to share this article

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/24/sonys-dk30dk31-charging-dock-can-be-hacked-to-use-the-magnetic-cable-instead/

Here's another better guide on how to get that cable out of the dock

http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/12/remove-ec21-charging-cable-sony-magnetic-charging-dock-dk31-dk30-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra/

the supposedly "original sony" cables look exactly as those EC21 charging cables which can be removed from charging docks.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] iAMOA:
does it scratch the sides (or places the dock touches the z2) by putting it again and again and removing it again and again (at least once a day)?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] pauley:
Funny how it sure looks like a "Genuine" Sony magnetic cable inside the "Genuine" Sony dock:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/2...-be-hacked-to-use-the-magnetic-cable-instead/

http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/...ging-dock-dk31-dk30-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra/

But since Sony isn't selling them separately via any Sony website to the public who knows.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] xcly:
would the dock work with the official sony cover?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Jackos:
Yup, it fits.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Adevem:
pretty much this, except I'm using the charger that came with the Z2. just received my adapter today and my phone's been charging fine - and hassle-free :D:good:
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] corallus:
Now using same adapter on z2 charger, still good.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] raducanmihai:
I bought a 3rd party magnetic charging cable that works great (8 euros). The Sony dock does't work if you have anything but the thinnest case. And I mean paper thin case.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Did you know it has a piece you can detach so it can fit thicker cases? At least mine does.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] raducanmihai:
I don't have the dock, only the magnetic charging cable. But a friend of mine has it and my phone with the case on it doesn't fit. I don't know if the dock has a removable part or not.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] SuperMarioGalaxy:
Anyone thinking about cases and the dock, it has a removable part that, when removed, lets you insert the phone with many kinds of cases.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK36-Charging-Dock-Smartphone/dp/B00HWUQEZQ/ref=pd_cp_computers_0

Here you can see the "seamline" which is the removable part. It is also stated in the description.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] strongylad28:
I got a few none genuine ones today. One adapter and one cable from eBay. The cable is OK. And I stress OK. It works. Sits alright but the magnet isn't v strong at all. Basing it on my mbp magnetic charger its pretty bad. But it finds the centre well enough and charges.

The adapter however is awful. Even weaker magnet,doesn't find centre and only charges when its held a certain way.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] JMonkeYJ:
If anyone finds an adapter (the one that you can just stick on the end of any microUSB cable) with a strong magnet, let us know! I'm interested in one.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Adevem:
I'm using one bought locally [SG] , could link you but the shipping might be insane.

magnet wise I can pick up the phone if it's perfectly flat. twist/turn it any way and it'll flap out like it ain't no thing.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] le_lutin:
I bought this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221435365636&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:GB:3160

The magnet is as strong as I was expecting (strong enough), but the way it connects is only just ok - i was expecting it to automatically "find" the sweetspot of where to connect on the phone, but you have to be careful to specifically target the contacts.

http://no.mobilefun.com/41526-magnetic-charging-cable-sony-xperia-z2-z1-compact-z1-black.htm

*Stopped working alltogheter after one charge sycle.

Looks genuine because it has Sony written on it. Will let you guys know when I receive it.

Can the DK36 be taken apart and used?

1 - a micro-usb to magnetic charge adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEN5S6A/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

2 - an aluminum magnetic charge cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JRPH0U2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I received #1 today in the mail and my initial impression is that it's good. Decently strong magnet and stable connection. My phone started charging immediately. Much better than the smays car magnetic charger I bought - wouldn't charge or stay connected to the phone.

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] kamalaggi:
#1 also available on the UK website for £5.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnector-Performance-Xperia-Charging-Adapter-Black/dp/B00H2EE5ZS

Will #1 work with a silicone case on it? My case won't fit in the dock so looking for something like this?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] prazvt:
Hard for me to say as my case hasn't come in yet. I'll post a photo with it connected so you can see, shortly.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] kamalaggi:
Looking at the shape of it it might just fit. My case is 1mm thick around the charging port.

I've emailed the seller to ask.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] nreuge:
I've ordered this one: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00J6P8VKG/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] prazvt:
It does angle out a little ...so it's possible it may fit ok. Here's a photo...
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] prazvt:
Good to here! Otherwise we're all kind of guessing :)
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] adamtan:
probably u receive it really fast as they are in SG.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] kamalaggi:
The seller has said it will fit with a standard case on it.

How strong is the magnet?
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] prazvt:
It's got solid pull and doesn't fall off at the drop of a hat if that's what you're asking. The magnet on the car charger I bought earlier completely sucked compared to this one. But again, I don't have alot to compare it with. I have one of those aluminum cables coming in, so I'll have a better idea relatively speaking in a few days.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] bluheart:
AFter reading good views, I am also ordering magnetic cable with the dock.

Thanks to all.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Lolento:
to those who ordered the magnetic cables,

Does the cable carry data?

Looking on eBay, some says it does data sync and some do not...
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] feis:
It doesnt ofcourse, no matter what cable, its 2 fricking contacts, it cant transfer data:D
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Mr Bigglesworth:
I got this one too. magnet seems strong enough. You do need to be a bit careful to line up the charge points, but they do 'home in' relatively easily.

Only done one charge (using original sony plug part) and it all worked well.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Michealtbh:
Anyone tried this magnetic charging adapter? Worth a try at £3 delivered, I've just ordered a white one

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] kamalaggi:
I've had to send mine back because it stopped working :mad: . The seller promised a replacement on Monday but hasn't arrived yet. MIght have to put a paypal claim in and buy a different one.

I'm also having trouble finding a silicone case that will fit the DK36 dock :mad:

Alright so I'm pretty noobish. I tried to back up my stock rom before flashing for a custom rom. I used custom recovery via odin. After that I went into rom manager, set up custom recovery version 5.x.x because I thought you could use rom manager after that. I thought that was the whole point of custom recovery for rom manager. Anyways after selecting backup current rom in rom manager I'm now stuck in a continuous recovery boot loop saying:

recovery booting......

recovery is not seandroid enforcing

set warranty bit : recovery

How do I get out of the boot loop? I've read that you can flash stock rom via odin, but all I was trying to do was backup the current one via rom manager from the custom recovery that I had already flashed. I'm thinking I messed up by not manually backing up. Am I screwed? Is there anyone who can help?!? Sorry for being so bad at this.
