You can't go wrong with the SPIGEN SGP Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector, once you install it correctly it really holds and protects the screen from pocket scruffs.

My cousin got into a motorcycle accident last year and the screen protector w/ the Spigen slim armor case protected his phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] madman604:
Tempered glass is the only thing for me from now on. $5 on eBay. Feels excellent, optically clear to me. Same screen sensitivity to me.

No need to blow 20+$ on big names. I break it, buy 5 more. No big deal.

Buy plastic sheets and the scratch and peel off in a week.

Even no name temp glass is better.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 58616e6465:
For me is the anti-glare screen protectors, for read is the best choice.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fourty8:
I've been using a Spigen for something like 9 months now and I still have no problems with it. I personally think it was worth the cost, even though there are cheaper alternatives on ebay and such.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] htcfan4l:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] iDonii1:

This is amazing protector i have the Anti-Glare & Anti-Fingerprint its very good, durable, touch work so good and cheap, but i want to move up to the Tempered Protector this is the new product of Supershieldz is better than the one i have.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RealMikeyTaylor:
I use a tempered glass screen protector and I love it.

"This is my own review", thanks for the reply Berthaconners524
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] :
I use the Spigen Ultra Crystal, because it fully covers the screen. It's also quite resistant as well to minor scratches
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IMMORTALKING69:
You should definitely get s tempered glass screen protector. Don't buy the ones at your carrier stores either. Buy the ones off eBay for under 10$ vs 35$ retail. Same quality and a definite must. These don't scratch and are more resistant to fingerprints.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Thinkfreshdell:
It all depends on preferences. There are many dif. types of screen protectors. For the S4 i would go with a glass protector. Ive gotten all mine from boxwave.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Baurblades43:
I wore out the oleophobic coating on my phones screen before even getting a single tiny scratch or dent in it.. I'd recommend a screen protector for that reason only. Touching your phone with like barely even sweaty hands or fingers, makes your phone think you've got 100 fingers and texting is impossible.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Ophbalance:
I picked up a few of the cheap ones from Amazon two weeks ago (they ran me $5/per protector). And so far, I'm blown away between these and any of the plastic ones I've used on any of my devices. And I'm talking as far back as my Axim's (PocketPC days) when I had WriteShields on them. Why? It feels just like the surface of the phone screen. It doesn't pick up nearly as much oil and residue from being near your face. It's clear. And best of all, it's not doing the blinds effect when I'm wearing polarized lens. That last one alone had me asking "why haven't I ever tried this before??".
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
hands down, I love my spigen glas.t nano slim - it feels like nothing is on the screen at all, and it still fits under my seidio waterproof case when I want to rock that one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vboechat:
xtreme guard are the best screen protectors, period
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DriftKi7Vg:
Tempered glass screen protector FTW! iloome is a good brand but pretty much all of them perform the same IMO. Just make sure you get one that has true 9H hardness and not none of those ''knock-off'' brands that says it has it. Like the statement goes, "you get what you pay for".
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gadzooks64:
I have used a screen protector all the way back to my Moto Q days (yeah I said it).

Now I have a N7 2013 and a Galaxy S4.

My preference has always been for the anti-glare plastic protectors - Tech Armor is my current favorite. Tech Armor is a great company; they have been very responsive to me when I've had issues with their products.

That said, I really wanted to try a glass protector. I picked up several cheap ones (we have 4 S4s and I have several friends with them as well) from Aliexpress. They are awesome. I did have mine crack after a particularly hard drop right on the corner so I just slapped one of the extras on and was good to go.

Order several because they can, and will, break but they are totally worth the peace of mind. I'd rather replace a $5 glass protector many times than have to replace my whole phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brembrad:
Hi all,

Have a Note 3 (sprint). Got it in October shortly after launch. Everything has worked fine till about April. I did the update to Kitkat and initially Wi-Fi would stay on or rather turn on instantly (bright green). Sometime in April it stopped staying on, instead it would go into limbo (light green) and actually caused a delay when trying to enter settings menu or Wi-Fi menu. I have researched and read everything (not much-no answers that work) and watched a You-Tube video of someone with the exact issue as me.

After saving data and writing down positions of all my apps, I did a Hard Reset......no help. I have checked and unchecked every option in both regular Wi-Fi menu and advanced menu as well as *#0011#. I got an RMA from Samsung but would rather just walk into a Sprint store and wait for an exchange. BUT until the 23rd of May I am in Japan for work. That's why I needed Wi-Fi. I was using Magic Jack to talk to kids etc until this issue started.

Is there a FIX yet?

Thanks,

Brad
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
I am guessing that you are running everything stock with knox 0.

In that case, if a factory reset didn't help, nothing probably will.

You could try reflashing a stock ROM, but I am doubtful that it will work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
I'd reflash a sprint branded stock rom from sammobile. It will reflash the modem and non-hlos which may Fox the wifi. Worth a shot.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabrot:
Hey guys. I'm looking to flash a kernel on my Nexus 4, 4.4.2 Purity ROM. It's my first kernel ever and I'm looking to get better battery life. I don't play much games, I mostly listen to music, watch YouTube, do Facebook, browse the Internet and similar.

So i guess the most important thing is battery life. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know, I have no idea how to find one myself.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deani77:
You can start with Hell Kernel :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayRokk:
Which ever fits your needs. There is no best or worst kernel. Try them out and decide for yourself :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You have to experiment the kernels on your own and find which one is right for your needs. Everyone will have a subjective choice as to what is better for their daily needs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmedNabeelM:
Kernels are personal choice, try some and check for yourself. Personally I prefer Franco kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky0165:
I would try Matr1x. You can get really low UV values (-87.5mv, 192mhz > 662500uvolts), tweakable screen color with support for profiles, and 192 mhz support.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
Hey guys ! I have found TWO different mods to increase the volume on custom roms.

REQUIREMENTS

Must have a file named mixer_paths.xml

A file manager and an XML editor. I use ES File Manager, as it is a file manager with a built in Editor.

ROOTED Phone

HEADPHONE

MOD 1

Mod 1 is for roms that have ' RX1 Digital Volume and RX2 Digital Volume ' in the headphones section.

What To Do:

1. Go to /system/etc and open mixer_paths.xml

2. Scroll down to the headphones section and look for the lines: RX1 Digital Volume and RX2 Digital Volume

3. In those lines you will see 'value=65' your value may be different

4. For a safe volume, change it to 74 or 75

5. Save changes and reboot

MOD 2

Mod 2 is for roms that do NOT have RX1 Digital Volume or RX2 Digital Volume in the headphones section. This WILL increse speaker volume.

What To Do:

1. Go to /system/etc and open mixer_paths.xml

2. Scroll down to the headphones section

3. If you see RX1 Digital Volume and RX2 Digital Volume, please follow mod 1

4. Scroll back up to the top and you will see RX1-7 (RX1 RX2 RX3 RX4 RX5 RX6 RX7) and they will have the same values

5. What i did was changed the value to 90 for safe volume, so change it to any number under 90

6. Save changes and reboot

Enjoy :)

** Mod 2 WILL increase speaker volume. I am working on a post for Mod 1.

SPEAKER

This one is specifically for ROMs with the 'RX3 Digital Volume' line.

What To Do:

1. Go to /system/etc and open mixer_paths.xml

2. Scroll down to the speaker section, where you will find the RX3 Digital Volume line

3. Change it to any number under 70.

• I changed the number to 70, and it is incredible, but there is some sound distortion with music players with built in EQs, so what i did was install Viper4Android and fixed the distortion in the speaker tab. It is located here:

4. Save your changes and reboot.

Enjoy :)

I want to try this so bad but for the life of me I cannot edit a XML file well I can edit but I can not save it. I am running cm 11 official and no matter what file browser I use it will not let me save. I have given root access to all the file browsers any help would be appreciated
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanenyc:
Yeah that's what I am using its so weird that I can't save it I get a message saying error occurred when trying to save
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
Have you changed the system to RW ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanenyc:
Thank you !!!!!! Thank you it worked I was going nuts for 2 days I found the setting and it worked perfect how high can you go on the setting I use my phone in the car all day and this has made a huge huge difference 74/75 is perfect no need to go higher its loud !!!!!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
First open ES, then click the weird 'browser' icon in the top left. Then if you haven't already, enable root explorer and click it. Then click mount RW and change system from RO to RW
[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanenyc:
This is awesome I put the setting at 64 and it sounds great I always wondered why my car radio was so much louder than my phone

Thanks for the detailed walk through.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
I'm glad to help :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
Did you follow mod 1 or mod 2 ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanenyc:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
Lol !
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Densitymax:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] riskingl:
need that?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trueiceman:
beautiful, thanks. I don't know why custom rom makers don't put the volume to the safe max. My Neutron player is now perfect.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] preeansh2175:
[MENTION=5219376]evanprice[/MENTION]. I'm confused here. The mods are for Headphones. aren't they ?

I am in need of enhancing the "In-call speaker" of the phone.

awaiting your response.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trueiceman:
yeah can you post links here when you increase the other volumes, thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
I am making a post on 'In-call speaker'

If you followed mod 2, the SPEAKER volume should have increased
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trueiceman:
ok done. it was a bit confusing cause on mod 2 instructions you referred to mod 1. anyways thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] emepher:
Holy mother of sweet Jesus! Thank you so so so much for this! I followed the easy instructions for Mod 1 (on CM 11, current stable) and it worked perfectly! This is exactly what I had been looking for the entire 6 months I've had the OG. The headphone volume was previously a little bit too low in noisy situations (mowing the lawn, etc.) and the phone was completely unusable for playing music through external speakers using the headphone jack.

Changing the settings to 74 has worked brilliantly! I'm almost excited to go to work because I'll be able to play *MY* music over the speakers there now, finally. This one major problem was the only thing that I was really disappointed with about this phone. Everyone kept suggesting "enhancers" and EQ tweaks that did nothing. Now instead of 90% happy I'm up to 100%. Thank you!

Speaker Volume Boost Now In OP
[AT&T LG Optimus G] wkobaint:
Thanks! Nice tricks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jaimesilva:
I want to lower headphone volume on mod2

Hello.

I have the opposite problem: Speaker volume is great but when I have the headphones on and make/receive a call my head wants to explode, is too loud, I am really concerned for my health, my ears buzz after a call and I get headache. Turning volume down/up while in-call has no effect, the indicator moves on the screen but the headphones volume is the same. If I play music, videos, ... anything with a player the volume control works and I can listen without headache but if I get a call then the ringing pierces my eardrums.

I am using CM11 unofficial by ronasimi. This must be a ROM or kernel problem since it was not on Carbon 4.3 by snowleopard. I'm suspecting is a mako kernel problem, I had it before on another JB ROM but can not remember which one.

On this ROM I must use mod2. I tried by lowering values on all RX1..7 to 50 and headphones are fine now but I can not hear anything on speaker or hands-free speaker.

I noticed RX1,2,6,7 are mentioned on headphones section but only 1,6 are mentioned on speaker and handset sections. So I tried by lowering everything but 1,6 and got low volume on speaker and handset and only one channel (left) loud on headphones and right channel low :P

Will play with this a little more and reporting if I found a solution. Will love to hear suggestions.

Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
if it is a ROM problem, try to run the official CM 11 ( as i am running it) i think the one i am running is the Snapshot M8
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jaimesilva:
AFAIK Official CM does not have this problem but it drains battery incredibly fast. That's why I'm using unofficial and why I hope I can fix this problem with this mod.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] evanprice:
oh okay
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ronasimi:
On my unofficial CM-11, you might want to try commenting out the following lines in /etc/init.d/99kerneltweaks:

#########################
## Audio volume tweaks ##
echo 45 45 > /sys/kernel/sound_control/gpl_headphone_gain
echo 45 45 > /sys/kernel/sound_control/gpl_headphone_pa_gain
echo 45 > /sys/kernel/sound_control/gpl_speaker_gain

instead of using this tweak.

Hello guys, I know that the question which is the best browser is actually asked alot on xda. But I have some special requierments to a browser app. So for me it is important that the app only have permission that it really needs. The design should be simple and modern. The bookmarks should be called quickly. The feature which I really want to have is a function to turn off the history or delete it after closing the browser. Which browser fits best for me?

when you load the battery everytime when its half empty, it developes a memory point then its says i am empty at 50%

on older batteries like ni/cad you have to drain the battery almost every time, by the newer batteries they say you dont need to empty them (li/ion etc)

for me even with li/ion batteries i drain my battery (not to 0%) every month or so. i think it keeps the battery life better. when you drain it to 0% (really empty) the battery can be broken sometimes.

I have a OTG power cable connected from USBcharger to my nexus with a USBcable that also power the device i connect to the Nexus.

Anyway, i need a USB hub so I can use more devices, also i think i my be needing more power when i use more devices, so i want a USB hub with external 12v (car) poweradapter, it's not wasy to find on ebay.

Any ides?

(Can't use amazone, they don't ship to norway)

PS: This is what my cable looks like:

[Nexus 7 General] ydgmms:
Since USB spec is 5V. You will most likely not find a 12V usb one.

Your best bet is to simply hardwire a 12V-to-5V adapter. I used a standard USB cigarette adapter. I wired a female cigarette adapter internally, and taped the two together. I bought a large 4A one, to be able to supply enough power to the tablet, and other peripherals.

Hello guys

b4 i tell my problem id like to apologize in case that this was already discussed or in case my knowledge of android aint yet "high" enough.

To understand me fully ill write the whole story that ive done on my mobile in the quote.

So the question is : How to root the kernel which is installed by Omnirom ?

Sadly.. i didnt understand much about kernels.. so i ask you how to go through this problem with unlocking the sim..

Meanwhile.. id really like to stay on omni, cz i really like it ~ the simplicity, but in case that there is no chance to stay on it cz of the simcard.. im prepared to use other roms as well (but still preferably kitkat).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ktus:
update

Heelllo again

since i had no ideas from you, i decided by my self to try instal cyanogenmod rom since it has the option of root. ~ instalation completed and root works as well.

But now.. the the biggest problem i have.. is cz i can't unlock the sim :@

tried Galaxy_s unlock from helzing(?) but it didnt work out.

tried .. galaxy S2 sim unlock and the app stops at 4/5 ~ the application seems its crashing

also tried one more application (dont remember the name) but it wants to pay 3 dollars to install pro version , while guaranteeing me that it has a code for me ~ and i doubt about this.

Any ideas ?
