I've had good experience using XtremeGuard Spartan Glass on the Nexus 5 and 6 and the LG G3 proved no different. I recently ordered end of November and their cutout for the earpiece and front sensors was one piece but still has glass surrounding the borders.

It's $6/ea with their always repeating 80-90% coupon. Free shipping. I bought two and called it a day.
[G3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
problem with xtremeguard is that they have different suppliers, I got one that only has a cutout for the speaker and sensors while the one I got a week after had the normal top cutout.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

I just got one the other day that has the circle cutout so it's a gamble
[G3 Accessories] Nibiru2012:
Of ALL the various brands of tempered glass screen protectors, does anyone think that there's basically 3-4 manufacturers and then are private labeling for all the various name brands? Just some food for thought.

My main question is this: of all the ones that have been recommended which have the best oleophobic coatings? That is the most resistant to skin oil and fingerprints. I've noticed with some that it varies from brand to brand.

Any help will be appreciated.
[G3 Accessories] The Elite:
I've ordered many glass screen protectors and found they all have more or less the same performance in oleophopic coating, which isn't that great. However all the protector's I've bought were under $10. I've had 3 rectangular cutout screen protectors and I found that all 3 had a slightly different cutout (some more rounded areount the speaker and some more straight cut), so I think there are various manufacturers (I may be wrong thought and could have just been chance that I got 3 with slightly different cutouts). For me it was quite a big deal to find one with a precise cutout. I found one that does (after bepak stopped manufacturing them this way) here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/380946516556 so I would definitely recommend this one if that's your case I would definitely recommend it, but if not, I've only heard glowing remarks about ilooome and icarez.
[G3 Accessories] rfarrah:
FWIW, I've had the one VZW carries in-store, the Icarez, and the iloome. The VZW one had the best oleophobic properties - significantly better, but it was .3 mm and too thick. The iloome has the next best, but only marginally better than icarez.

As always, YMMV.
[G3 Accessories] Fever09:
does covering the front camera with tempered glass doesn't affect the picture quality?
[G3 Accessories] rfarrah:
On mine, the camera is inside the "cut-out". So it is not covered.
[G3 Accessories] Fever09:
I see.. I don't know what should I buy, lol the one with cut out on the speaker only or the one with cutout until the camera :eek:
[G3 Accessories] The Elite:
Personally I like the cutout around the speaker because I've had both, but only because of the symmetrical look it gives the phone. I personally don't notice a difference in camera quality, or speed of autobrightness with the proximity sensors. I guess it's just personal preference though.
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Dropped my phone and my xtremeguard Spartan cracked..so I order an other set from them.. My original set was just cut out around the ear piece and ambient sensor's.. This new set is cut from the ear piece all the way past the camera..and doesn't align right around the phone.. Guess for 4.50 you get what you get. First time around was excellent.. Not this time
[G3 Accessories] rosstownrd:
iloome 9h screen protector

7 months not a scratch and does not cover over front camera well worth the 30 bucks in my opinion
[G3 Accessories] BurtGummer:
I use Tech Glass by Skinomi and think it is the best glass screen protector for your money ($10). I've had my replacement on my G3 for a good 5 months now and it still looks as new as when I first applied it. The first screen, I dropped on limestone and it cracked at one of the corners -- phone was fine. Emailed pictures and details to Skinomi and received a replacement a week later at no charge. What other companies offer that kind of customer service/replacement warranty?
[G3 Accessories] rfarrah:
I had a similar issue (twice now - clumsy me) with icarez glass protectors. Sent an email on Friday and they immediately shipped out a replacement - received it on Monday!
[G3 Accessories] Blinky7:
I want a tempered glass for my LG G3 but one that covers the whole front except for the speaker. I want it to cover the front camera and the sensors, everything but the speaker, in order to have a more "barely there" look. I dont even use the front camera anyway, and judging from other screenprotectors that cover those sensers/camera and there have been no complaints, I don't see a reason not to...

Ideally I would get the Spigen Nano glass.tr, but it is ectremely pricey (I mean, I could pay a premium of about 50% to get exactly what I need, but seriously 40$ for this is extorsion when other ones are like 5$....

I did buy a BEPAK from ebay based on this thread, however I received the second edition which is like all others and doesnt cover the top of the screen :(

Is there a cheap option that is like the Spigen in design?
[G3 Accessories] BurtGummer:
You bet there is

Pthink

http://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Prot...p/B00KLDJAO8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Cellet

http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-Ultra-...8&qid=1424193178&sr=8-3&keywords=pthink+lg+g3

Both will cover the entire screen minus the front speaker. Both cost around $10 considerably cheaper than Spigen's product and have a quite a number of positive reviews.
[G3 Accessories] D0MINO:
Are there any negative effects of the flash/camera being covered by a glass screen protector?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
So the Sony website says the latest software version is 17.1.1.A.0.402. I am running 17.1.A.2.55 so I decided to udate through the PC Companion. All went well but it updated me to the same version that I already had and not to 17.1.1.A.0.402. Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhvanoh:
Yes, the update is not available for you yet.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Don't look on Sony web page.

Open pc companion and as soon as you connect device it'll tell you is there firmware for you (new firmware)

I guess you have used repair function in pc companion - because it won't flash same firmware that you already have unless you choose repair option.

Just download 438 firmware and flash it through flashtool.

If it's not for your region (if you aren't from Syria) exclude baseband files and everything will work.

It'll probably work with 438 baseband files but I had 4g problems with it so I kept mine, 402 baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nerys71:
More a work around.

tired of it stretching my wallpaper. so the idea hit me. give it some dead space to stretch so the end result is "unstretched" effectively.

first I made my desired wallpaper 1920 pixels tall the same as the screen.

I then started adding "padding" turns out 240pixels top and bottom is what you need.

canvas the height by 240pixels (so you end up with letter boxing 240 on both top and bottom) and when you set the crop on android (encompasing the padding) the end result is the proper wallpaper unstretched :)

do NOT do this for the lock screen as it properly displays what you select without "blowing" it up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
So I've had Nexus 5 since last November - ordered on the day they became available.

Ever since I've had it, my LTE speeds have been horrible, and data in general has not been very good. I live & use mostly in urban core of Honolulu, and thought in part problem may have been that I was using Straight Talk on AT&T.

I could go into AT&T store - which isn't far from where I live - and the phones in the store from Samsung, etc., (no N5s there) would be getting 17mbps down or so while my Nexus 5 on Straight Talk/AT&T would be lucky to get over 1 mbps! I travel to continental US both urban and rural areas and pretty much the same dismal speeds. Every now and then I might see 5 6 or once even 7mbps downstream. Usually upstream on speedtest (Ookla) would be higher than down - 5mbps or higher.

So, I switched to AT&T gophone expecting to see better - but no - speedtests basically the same dismal speeds.

Go into AT&T store - compare to other phones - dismal on N5 vs stellar on the store phones.

They even let me put a SIM card from a display phone in my N5 - dismal LTE.

So, I think it must be my phone, and I get an RMA replacement this week.

With much anticipation, I unbox the new N5, don't do anything other than establish an account, download speedtest and pop the SIM in - boy does my balloon burst - the speed is WORSE than the one I did before switching the SIM!: 1.42mbps down, 2.31mbps up on the new N5 vs 2.16 down 2.26up on the old N5. And changing servers just made it worse. (See screenshot)

I set the new N5 to 3G - get HSPA and speedtest result is 7.90 down/1.09 up.

WTF!

[IMG="Top 3G / Bottom Wifi / Rest are LTE"]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5546/14445687637_12d538f928_o.jpg[/IMG]

I just don't get it. Is there something about me, the TWO N5s I have, or what? Or, is the N5 just bad on [some] LTE?

My status page shows pretty strong signal on the awful speedtest - -79dbm/61asu.

On positive note, I do think in actual browsing/use, the phone is faster with native AT&T/gophone vs straight talk as it doesn't have to use Tracfone's proxy server (in Florida i think). But there just is something wrong with these LTE speeds....

I also tried 4GMark speetest and benchmark and it's pretty dismal -> download 0.41Mbps / Upload 4.17Mbps.

Anyone have any ideas for me?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
How bout them radios.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
Well, I can mention that the replacement came with KK 4.4.2 and radio ...25.0.23. The speedtests above run with that radio. Then, updated OTA to 4.4.3 and radio got updated to ...50.1.13, which didn't make any difference in LTE speed. Then a 2nd update took the new phone to ...50.1.16 and 4.4.4 and still pathetic speed.

My original N5 from Nov'13 has had every radio known to this model and sucky LTE with every single one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Which APN? I find it weird because I have Cricket which uses AT&T towers now and I get sometimes 8Mb down if I'm in a good signal area, so I know it is possible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
grab a tmobile micro sim from someone, and see if tmobile is the same or not. it could just be a local att issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Your account must not be provisioned correctly for LTE. And the APN you have selected may be incorrect. Check both of these.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
Not the case. LTE shows up in the status bar. LTE shows in Settings/About Phone/Status -> Mobile Network Type

The APN is correct - "phone"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
I will try and do that when I get a chance.

If it were a local AT&T issue as opposed to a NEXUS5 phone issue, one would think the same SIM in another [Samsung] phone at AT&T store doing a speed test within a minute of each other would not be getting 10 times the throughput.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
As an example on HSPA my previous phone wouldn't speed test correctly. 0.1 Mbps was always the speed. Yet the status bar shows H and about>phone shows HSPA. And my APN was correct at Phone.

But ATT didn't have my account provisioned correctly on their end, in their system.

So it could easily be that your account isn't provisioned correctly by the carrier.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Longlife:
Hi all,

my father got MS Visual Studio 2005 some time ago and I just discovered that it's capable of creating mobile applications as well so I'm playing with it, trying to do some cool stuff (program for recording my marks at school atm ;) ). The fact is, that I'm not extremely experienced in C# (in which I'm working in the MSVS2005) so I have to look up syntaxes or parts of code in help database every now and then. I have always succeeded so far, but now I have a problem I need someone to help me with.

I just started working with files, everything is fine, I think i quite understand the syntax and stuff, but I can't figure out how file paths under Windows Mobile work. In help file, they say that this should work:

string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";

but i think this is for desktop Windows only. If I try to use this in my programme, "Catch (Exception Ex)" command returns error saying: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException.

I tried various variants of the file path and the only one working was just plain name of file, for example

string path = @"MyTest.txt"

This way, I managed to write into the file and read the input back..but I couldn't find the file anywhere in my phone's memory :S

So if there was someone who would be so kind and told me how to specify file paths under WM correctly, I would really appreciate it. btw if the "someone" gave me his MSN/ICQ too, and was willing to give me real-time help once a time, it would be absolutely perfect :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t0flus:
The root of the Windows Mobile filesystem is "\". If you want to place the file in the temp dir of the root, use this:

string path = @"\temp\MyTest.txt";

After a completely fresh install, along with gapps, I got past the LG logo, but was stuck at the bootanimation for several hours. It kept animating, but no progress was made. I tried with and without gapps. I am running TWRP 2.7.1.0 (dr87's version), and have fallen back onto Mahdi for now. I h ave a d800 (LG G2, AT&T variant).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] logicalotus:
I successfully rooted my Note 3 (tmobile) and tried several roms over the past few weeks. The problem I now have started with the last one i tried. I inadvertently mistook a rom for one that was stock and it unrooted it, adding knox back and undid all my hard work.

I started over and for some reason when I retraced my steps, the phone will only go into download mode and when it reboots, the boot screen comes on and then turns back off. I've used ODIN 3.09 with CF-Auto-Root, and tried the De la Vega root, and it all does the same thing. Sometimes I get the red android screen that makes it seem like it is rooted, but when it reboots "after 10 seconds", the screen goes black and never turns back on. I'd be happy with starting over again and trying from scratch, unless there is another way. If anyone could help me I would be eternally grateful.

I'm willing to do anything, whatever it takes, if anyone has the guidance and insight on what is going on here.

Thanks,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HowlTowardsTheMoon:
What did you flash that you believe caused this ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Negan:
ok so here's the method that i always have used to gain root.

It's very simple and effective.

keep in mind this will trip your knox to 0x1 if you even care!

all you have to do is download the latest twrp or philz recovery (I recommend twrp - available in the tmo n3 original development section) and flash the .img.tar file in odin.

that will give you a custom recovery.

Then what you need to do is download the latest supersu.zip file and place it on your sd card or just dl it right on your phone.

then reboot to recovery (power off device and simultaneously hold the volume up, home button and power button.) you will see in blue font in the top left of the screen "recovery booting".

then in twrp flash the supersu.zip

bam you have root!!!

remember to read and search if you plan on any future flashing to be safe!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eudeferrer:
I recommend you flash a clean stock NE6 with ODIN. Then, you can root with Towelroot with just one click. It's that simple. It's worked for me when I lost root trying to update to latest build. Then you can upgrade using Mobile Odin Pro and using the "inject" root feature.

lol. but what does Knox actually do? I think I did already trigger it. What does it affect? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Namolas:
Breaks enterprise security. If you need it for work triggering knox breaks it and is unreversible. Its also permanently flags the device warranty as voided.
