That's not true. I applied and removed my Nillkin more then 10 times during the application to get rid of the dust I missed trapped underneath because I suck at applying screen protectors. It reapplied the same every time. All you have to do is make sure you don't firmly press it down and you're fine. This is even after you see the adhesion process occur. It will still peel up. The adhesive takes a few hours to a day (depending on brand) to fully stick/cure.

If a person like me can apply one glass screen protector, anyone else will do it better. One is all you need.

Plastic will only give basic scratch protection and leave a greasy screen after a while. If it takes the same fall his did, the screen would still be done for.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Awesomepie85:
What bumper frame do you use? I've been looking for one myself for a while now...

Cases protect the actual body of the phone, and maybe the screen if it happens to land flat. But if a rock of some other elevated object hits the screen then it will be done for. And a plastic screen protector will do nothing, that protects against scratches like from sand. A glass one would be the best bet for shatter protection. I've seen a person take a hammer to a screen with a glass screen protector on. The protector was rekt but the phone screen was fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
There are 2 that I would probably recommend. I'm currently using a transparent bumper case off of ebay. I did a review here http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/lucency-transparent-bumper-case-review-t2690108. It is $2.88 shipped. If you do choose this one, I would stick to black. After using them for a while now, the various colours tend to stain easily, but the black doesn't. It is just for light drop protection, but since the main body is a harder plastic, it won't absorb a higher drop like a softer bumper frame, or a TPU case would. I personally like it because it is transparent and you can still see the sides of the phone and the skin through it.

The other is the replica Nexus 4 bumper, for the Nexus 5. Mine is still in the mail so I haven't tried it out yet, but others have bought it and it seems to have gotten pretty good reviews overall. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/replica-official-nexus-4-bumper-nexus-5-t2698422. It's a little bit pricier at $12.99 off Amazon, or around $8 - $10 off Aliexpress.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
There are many choices for thicker protection cases. Properly applied screen protectors don't have any bubbles.

1. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (is contained in the RUU)

2. Relock Bootloader

3. Run the RUU while phone is connected in "fastboot" mode

Thats it ;)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
Go into cwm and do a factory reset

Hit the Thanks Button if I helped
[LG Optimus 4X HD] damru:
i tried it, same thing :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
GPU frequency scaling isn't even working in latest beanstalk nexus blobs version.Same goes for other unofficial based, lately released ROMs.So I'd recommend you to stay on the official until a new version with fixes is released.

It's a problem within the ROM itself.Make a fresh installation of CM11 official and your problems will be solved. (wipe system, data and cache, then flash CM11 zip)

easy to talk but, cant mount/format data and some more. now im flashed stock rom via USB.
[One (M8) General] crazeco:
I used the M8 and S5 side by side for over a week. I really wanted to keep the M8, but I couldn't. Does the following drive anyone else a bit crazy? Are there solutions to some of these issues I'm simply not aware of?

Basic inputs:

It actually takes longer to use the M8 for basic inputs, turning the device on, and turning it off. The Samsung turns on a bit faster with just pushing the home button. Fingerprint scanner unlocks more quickly. Side power button is far superior.

Double tap on the M8 is NOT perfect. Neither is holding the device in landscape and hitting the volume key to activate the camera (doesn't work on the first try about 30%). Double tap takes you to the first lock screen. Then you have to slide the icon of what you want to use and input your pin. This can be mitigated by utilizing swipes instead of double tap. It's still not faster.

Buttons:

I often found myself constantly hunting for the onscreen buttons on the M8. The empty HTC bezel throws you off. It's very hard to have muscle memory when you have a big empty row where you think the buttons are. It also takes a moment for the buttons to simply appear. S5 doesn't have this issue due to the hardware home button.

Screen Off:

However often we turn the screen on, a lot of us are also turning it off. It takes longer to turn the screen off on the M8 than it does the S5. Every time I turned the M8 off with one hand it required maneuvering the device in a way that made me fear dropping it because the power button is on top and the device is long. I generally used my other hand to hit the power button just for that reason. That's not necessary on the S5.

Screen on with Music:

I LOVE the M8 speakers. I love playing music on this device around the house, while I'm in the shower, etc. If I am playing music on the M8 and have the device on the counter, and I want to change a song, it's not designed to register a doubletap when laying flat. With the S5, I hit the home button and it brings the screen up. It takes significantly longer to either find a way to hit the top power button or repeatedly tap the screen until it registers on the M8.

Speed:

In day to day use, after disabling bloat on the S5, the devices are equally as snappy. In fact, the S5 is more accessible for the reasons mentioned above. That's all that matters, because all of us here are capable of tinkering and optimizing.

Everyone wants to talk about microseconds worth of lag, what about basic functions, like turning the screen off. It's little things like that, things I do often, which should be taken into consideration when you talk about how long you have to wait for things between devices. If we are going to argue about tenths of a second, these things matter.
[One (M8) General] Rotten Ross:
I wouldn't have a Samsung phone due build quality they feel too plastic, I have had my m8 for only a couple of days, coming from the one x and although the phone is bigger I find that it feels better to hold and use.
[One (M8) General] maverick1103:
So basically you have made a thread just for the turning on and off of the screen, seriously this thread needs to be closed.

On a side note my Note 3 had lag when pressing home button to wake the phone up, as much as double tapping the screen, it would be nice to get double tap without needing movement as that would help for skipping songs, but I wouldn't say it was a major issues, all the other positives make up for it imo.
[One (M8) General] crazeco:
I'm actually curious if there are any fixes for my issues, it's what made me choose the S5.

Is there an easier way to turn off the screen than hitting the top power button?

Is there an easier way to turn on the screen when the device is flat?
[One (M8) General] maverick1103:
Rooted then yes, not rooted then no.

Look you obviously love Samsung's due to the home button, maybe you should post this in the S5 forum, makes more sense!
[One (M8) General] crazeco:
What's the rooted fix for turning the screen off?
[One (M8) General] Rotten Ross:
If I double tap my screen when flat it wakes the device. To solve having to use the power button to sleep. Then change the screen of time.
[One (M8) General] RetroDude:
RE: Device lying flat.

Just give it a little roll on the curve by touching an edge. Then double tap. It literally takes milliseconds. I use my middle finger to tap the edge of the phone and my index finger to double tap.
[One (M8) General] crazeco:
I found that repeatedly tapping the device would wake it up. :) Maybe I was making it roll slightly. Is there a way to wake or sleep the device with the volume button?

There is a lot that I liked about the M8. Specifically, the metal body over plastic. I agree, the S5 is not enjoyable to hold. It was not an easy decision. I felt the HTC was worth $600.00. I don't feel that way about the S5 at all, and that bothers me.

Believe it or not, I root for HTC over Samsung. I'm hoping they are around for an M9, I have a feeling that's going to be a very special device.
[One (M8) General] mchief298:
All of those problems aren't even big... Turning the device on and off is far quicker than any of the Samsungs I have ever owned. I played with the s5, and TouchWiz is STILL too laggy compared to sense. I turned off double tap to wake, because HTC did one thing wrong... No seperate options for all gestures. As for on screen? I prefer it that way... Physical buttons have more of a chance to fail than soft keys.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
I use xpose with gravity box and I hold menu button to sleep and sweep up on screen gestures to unlock screen if u use the phone how Ur instructed to use it u won't have a problem Galaxy S5 vs HTC M8 (One): http://youtu.be/u0q362kb3DA
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Exactly, if the music player was open the entire time when the screen shut itself off then he only needs to swipe up from the bottom and then it takes you straight to the music player again then tap next for the next song, pretty easy really.

The landscape mode for the camera...You have to do that within a certain amount of time as far as I know? I've done it a couple of times already and haven't once missed it, if anything the camera just takes a while to open. However that is NOT the case if the camera is actually already opened in the recent apps.

I don't really understand the screen off though, I have no problem to turn it off when I DO want to turn it off, else I just generally leave it to shut off within a set amount of time.

Oh well to each his own I suppose. The OP clearly wanted the S5 more and went out of his way to find "faults" for the M8 so that he can, at least in his own mind, justify the change.

I'm happy with my M8 though :victory: Awesome phone, first HTC I ever had and I'm glad I decided on buying it. IF only I went for the M7 last year when I "considered" it, instead I chose to stick with my Galaxy S3 and trusty Nokia N9 :p
[One (M8) General] md1008:
Is phone comparison against policy? I think they should be allowed in the general section. In the At&t note 2 section they have a note vs any other/upgrade thread. I can see if it is in the Dev section

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Samsung lost me with Knox and slow updates. Yeah HTC has a unlock Dev which clearly states you void warranty but at least it's upfront. Only reason why I got this was because it had GPE. I only left the nexus 5 because I was unimpressed with battery. Amazing how a slightly better battery makes a world of difference
[One (M8) General] crazeco:
It's not exactly fair for you to say what I did or did not want.

I actually wanted the M8, and would have chosen it but for the reasons I stated. These are issues that I encountered over and over and over. They weren't imaginary. They are/were deal breakers. I would love to not have to root the device in order to potentially have a reasonable way to turn the screen off one handed.

Are they small issues? In the overall scope of phone ownership, yes, I suppose so. I think that's more a testament to how good the M8 is in many respects. For example, notice that it was not the camera that made my decision. It was one of the little things.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
I think it was though... :) The fact that you compared what you found to be wrong with something that does not have those same "faults" already shows your justfications at work, I've been there...Not hating on you because of it though, your money, your device, your choice. I'm not going to tell you NOT to do something.

You can't turn off screen fast enough, I actually want screen to be on for just a little longer, let it shut itself off when the phone is not in use.

You can't get to music fast enough, I actually figure that if I already listened to 15seconds of that nonsense song, another 2seconds isn't going to kill me, I'll change to the next song on my time. Better yet, why not remove that crap song completely that way it can go on and do its own thing playing music that I actually want to listen to.

You can't turn screen on fast enough, one swipe from the bottom up is fast enough for me to get to the app I was already using(Be it, hangouts, bbm, music doesn't matter).

Like I said though, to each his own, the things that bother you won't be the same as the things that bother me. I can understand it though so... Good luck :good::highfive:

Thread Closed

As has already been stated, phone comparisons are against the rules and therefore such threads inevitably get closed down. The reason for this rule is that they often spout into arguments between people who prefer different phones but can't convey their message without it turning into an argument.

See this thread to see what you can and can't post here :)

While I'm here, I also had to do a clean up which shouldn't have been needed. Although it does prove my point about arguments in such threads, it still shouldn't have happened here.

If you think a thread should be closed, report it to us (the moderation team) and we'll pass judgement.

If you don't like someone's thread or their opinions, why bother commenting? If there's something I don't like I simply stay away from it. It's not difficult to do.

What part of locked bootloaders are people not understanding?

Locked bootloaders means no custom recovery, ie, TWRP.

PEOPLE! Please read. This exact question and topic has been posted so many times. It is ridiculous.

I am actually laughing at some users because they are the same ones that had to jump to KK knowing that we may not have root for awhile and now they are asking if there is a root when there is 30 threads that answer their question.

If an exploit that allows root is found, it will be posted.

Please stop asking and please read before posting.

It clutters the forums. So yes... It does waste my time. It wastes their time, my time, and every other users time.

Instead of asking, people could be reading and finding out the answer for themselves.

I understand that a few users received their device with KK on it, but most of these users asking are the same ones that were asking how to update from MD4 after doing the MJ5 restore method or how to update from the MLG leak. So... It is entirely their fault and none of us should suffer through reading and writing the same stuff every day.

I didn't update because I knew what would happen. I am perfectly content with my current KK custom ROM.

There is a thread in the general section telling you which file to modify and what to add to it, its quite easy, just typing one extra line in the file on your phone (No decompiling or anything)
