Wouldn't go for full cover glass myself

I had 1 that did just that (one my Note 1) and the thin "loop" atop the speaker broke, as did the similarly thin one at the bottom around the physical home button which cracked too. I've ordered a glass protector for my G3 (due today), protector later this week (not Nillkin, but faster delivery) and I specifically ordered it because it didn't have any "loops". Also, to my knowledge, any glass put on top of the sensors and especially the camera will distort light, which is why they make them so they don't cover those.

I'll post a link to the one I bought if it works out well. It ships from the UK (living in Denmark, have to buy from within the EU to avoid paying toll, taxes and import fee $29! (if product costing more than $14 without shipping) Also bought the Quick Circle case which replaces the back cover, so I'm curious how well they'll play together.
[G3 Accessories] keithleyson:
I got an ISG Glasi screen protector. It's rounded and only 0.3mm thin. I looks a lot like the Nilkin. Was going to buy the Spigen Glas.tr slim which is only 0.2mm thin and with precise cuts in the speaker area but the store ran out of stock. The Spigen costs 40% more though.
[G3 Accessories] clockwork58:
I have one on order as well. Did you get the H or H+ version?

I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two and if I wanted to go bankrupt between paying $8 for the H or $15 for the H+ LOL.
[G3 Accessories] EpicChineseTime:
Got it too, really good quality.

Previously on my nexus 5 i tried 4 brands of cheap tempered glass protector and the result was always the same=crappy.

to OP: take better pictures with proper exposure.

you know what, i just cracked the H+ last week from a tiny pebble landing face down straight loved the smooth feel of it alot . i didn't know there was another model and it was the regular H . i ordered it and just arrived. i will reply on here how the H is in a week
[G3 Accessories] Steven How:
H and H+ are the same, just that H+ is rounded edge. H is not rounded edge.

[G3 Accessories] clockwork58:
Like the edge of it is rounded all around the protector? I got my H the other day and I do tend to notice the straight edge on it, especially when I pull down my notification menu and my finger starts best the speaker.
[G3 Accessories] Steven How:
Yes h+ is rounded. But h is not basically it's the same. Haha. :p Just that the edge.

Hi there,

Is there a way to boot into Recovery Mode from Odin.

I install a Stock Rom to my phone from Odin, and now its stuck in the Samsung Logo. I read that I should go to Recovery, Wipe all and will be ready, but the Volume Up button does not work in my phone.

I am able to enter to Download Mode with a JIG (as the Volume up doesn't work, I cant advanced when before Download Mode says, Push Volume Up to continue), I have tried like 4 different roms, all of them pass but the phone doesn't pass the Samsung logo. I waited like 20 minutes and nothing :(.

I think the only way right now is to somehow boot into Recovery Mode from Odin, do the Wipe and recover my phone. I flashed the I747MVLUFNE6.

Is there a way/guide to do this?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Theres no need. You'd only need to boot recovery to factory reset. But im pretty sure mobile odin has that option built in. Just choose Wipe Data and Cache.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper67857:
How can he get to mobile Odin if it won't boot past the splash screen? Maybe using a .pit file to reformat everything from Odin would work? That's definitely more your area than mine though

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mikyan100:
Yes, that's the point, my phone doesn't boot, I am only able to boot in Download Mode.

I´ll read more about the .pit file.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You'll either have to flash stock that matches your current bootloaders/baseband or try adb to push recovery mode and factory reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Lol! Oops! Sorry bout that! Perhaps sleep isnt so overrated after all!!!

If you can find a way to flash an insecure kernel from Odin, you can probably use adb reboot recovery. The trick is probably finding an Odin flashable insecure kernel! (If you cant, let me know and ill try to make one for you.)

The PIT file should work too though. It'll format the data partition (like a factory reset) which is probably what you need to do.

If you have any very important data on your internal sdcard, I'd try the adb method first. If youve got everything backed up already, or dont care about losing that data, use the PIT file with Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mikyan100:
I did a backup of important files just before the update, so I don't care to lose any data.

I'll try with the PIT file, however I couldn't find any for KK. Can I flash an old PIT file or needs to be for the specific stock rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
The PIT file just needs to be for your model device with the correct storage capacity. (16/32gb).

Its the same across firmware builds, so long as it hasn't been changed, which it has not.
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
Anyone have a list of bloatware that they have either frozen or removed and not had any issues? This thing is filled with it!
[Verizon LG G3] eraursls1984:
It hasn't even been rooted yet, so you can't freeze or remove the bloat. All you can do is disable it.
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
Umm, yes it has. Please read up before giving pointless answers. You can root with ioroot which can be found in the main thread.

[AT&T LG G3] Desi130312:
I just got the G3 yesterday and the only issue I'm having is that every time I plug in an aux cord, no matter what aux cord, it doesn't recognize it. If it does, it'll show the symbol in the top bar but go away within a second.

Headphones work perfectly fine
[AT&T LG G3] roughneckboren:
My aux cords I've tried work perfectly fine. I had a case on mine and had to remove it to get it to work
[AT&T LG G3] sjroberts98:
There is a long thread on the main g3 section covering this. The consensus appears to be that it is a software issue having something to do with how LG is trying to detect the type of jack plugged in.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
I was just on the Google play store on the computer looking at the devices section and it looks like they have taken the Zu gpe edtion off of the store. Only 3 gpe editions plus the nexus now. I wonder what's going to come next?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
They were sold out of the ZU and some of the others about a month ago. It's also coming up to the 'next season' for phone releases...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Lokifish Marz:
Expansys got them all. Well maybe not all but a very large number of them.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
Hopefully some new exciting stuff next season.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
Wow nice website. Thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jimmyhauser:
I don't see why folks want gpe devices. Or why anyone would want stock android at all. It's a generic rom that's optimized for nothing. Except maybe the nexus. Get the Sony version with software that was designed for the hardware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cameljockey1:
I do have the Sony version with the gpe ROM on it. I like the gpe ROM because of no bugs and feels lighter and smoother. I had to much lag on the 108 version of Sony. I love the Sony ROM but its not perfect yet and I'm waiting for that to happen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HeathicusF:
I bought a used Droid Bionic off eBay cheap as a temporary replacement for my broken Samsung S3 to last until contract renewal time. But, this thing is just a turd. It's a PITA to use.

I'm running SlimKat in Slot 1. That's the only custom ROM I have installed. But it's just as slow if I boot the stock rom (and was before I rooted or did any customizing).

When I get a call, it rings several times before the screen wakes up so I can answer it. A couple times, the call has gone to voicemail before the screen woke up so I could answer the call. The capacitive buttons light up, it vibrates, the ringtone plays, but the screen stays dark until the 3rd ring.

Sometimes it takes 10 or 15 seconds just to get the keyboard to come up when I touch a text entry box. Doesn't matter what app or what keyboard I use.

Sometimes it takes so long for it to respond to a touch that I don't know if it registered my touch so I touch the screen again then a few seconds later it registers both touches which totally screws up whatever I was trying to do and I have to start over.

Sometimes I just want to throw this thing against a brick wall. It would be very satisfying to watch it shatter into pieces. It's frustrating me so much, I'm seriously thinking of borrowing a friend's old iPhone... Just typing that made me feel dirty, but that's how bad it is.

I don't see anybody else complaining. What's wrong with my phone?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Shakkuras:
Have you tried running LagFix (from the Play Store; I am unable to post a link)? My phone slowed significantly over time while running CM11 nightlies; I occasionally boot into stock and run LagFix and it does clear up a fair number of slowdowns. This seems the most likely cause which would impact both stock and slot performance.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] matriX1218:
It's not ROM but the battery that makes phone slow over the time... Old battery creates static charge and unable to generate enough discharge to run the phone.

Replace the battery with the new one.. And you are good to go...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HeathicusF:
I tried LagFix, but got an error saying it was incompatible.

My battery does die awfully fast, so I've ordered a replacement. I have doubts about that fixing the slowness, but I needed a new battery anyway so it won't be a total loss if it doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
Not sure what you are doing to your Bionic to make it so slow. Mine is by far no speed demon but definitely not slow. Do you have a lot of unnecessary crap such as widgets, themes, etc.. running?

That is debatable.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HeathicusF:
Not at all. The only widget I use is the calendar widget. I use Nova launcher, trimmed down to one home screen. No themes. No games. Only a handful of apps and most of those are utilities (ES File Explorer, Swifkey, Dropbox, XBMC remote, an alarm clock, etc.). Facebook is the only social media app.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
That is bizarre, must be Slim Kat. I am on CM M8 and while it does have some minor slow downs sometimes but nothing what you describe.

(A good time to update SafeStrap if you are not on the newest version)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Shakkuras:
LagFix has to be run from the stock install, rather than from a custom rom slot; it will then work only on the /data partition, which is normal.

Concerning the delay in pulling up the screen for an incoming call, I also have that same issue inconsistently on CM11 nightlies - it's often the third pulse of the motor before the screen wakes up. I haven't found a good solution to this, as it seems to be related to the phone being in deep sleep with the second core hot-unplugged. You may be able to increase the responsiveness at the cost of battery life by increasing the minimum processor speed or using a different governor, but I haven't experimented with this systematically enough to make a recommendation.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HeathicusF:
I found a solution!!

A new Samsung Galaxy S5 will be here tomorrow.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] larski156:
Battery effecting speed seems quite farfetched. If you say it's "static charge" that really means nothing. Maybe you mean it won't source enough current. Therefore effecting processor speed? If so then plugging in would fix you up.

did anyone manage to fix bluetooth on kindle HDX 7?

If you did not know: Android 4.2.2 has a known bluetooth issue which also effects (at least my) Kindle HDX.

When playing music with bluetooth headphones or speakers, audio quality is a lot more scratchy, especially in high registers.

Is there a keyboard lock feature or is it third party software only? By locking software,I mean when screen blanks out-is there a way to keep the phone home screen from popping up by pressing any button?
[HTC Excalibur] JwY:
do you mean besides holding the end call or holding the *z button?

does this work?

Automatic Keylock at http://maniac.fschreiner.de/ will suit your needs.

Proggy is free and includes some very cool extras like configurable repeating notifications, configurable screen saver, some integration with his other free sw (cell based profile switcher, etc).

[HTC Excalibur] BRad Barnett:
Tried the above program, it didn't fit the bill. :/ For example, when an incoming SMS message occurs, I was able to hit hardware buttons and activate various programs. :/

For a keylock, I'm looking for a program that locks everything. Every keypress, every button, every program, the screen, EVERYTHING.. until I use that one "special" button (combo) to unlock the phone.

Any ideas on a program like this?
[HTC Excalibur] yoos:
Yes, I'd like to have this too.... It annoys me that on the past couple smartphones I've had they keep allowing the screen to come on when misc keys are pressed, which causes the battery to drain much quicker since the phone in a case or pocket will press the keys all day....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Eclipsys:
About a year ago I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 (bootloader unlocked, S-off, custom recovery - TWRP), everything worked great until about 2 weeks ago. I noticed that certain apps/data were getting corrupted/deleteing themselves. Finally a couple days ago it just stopped booting to the OS. I can still access hBoot and TWRP recovery, still mount most of it and access via USB/PC, but my E: /data partition will not mount.

I have been doing research the past couple days, trying multiple things, but I'm worried about trying somethings in fear of making it worse. I have basic knowledge, but no expert. Here are my current software specs:

HTC One X (ATT Version)

***TAMPERED***

***UNLOCKED***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL (Somehow this changed itself back ok)

HBOOT-1.14.002

RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2

OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622

eMMC-boot

TWRP version 2.3.3.1

I have tried running the RUU, but its not detecting the phone, and I also read this is dangerous is you don't have S-Off. Is there a way to delete the /data partition and remake it? I have backed up all relevant data so I can do whatever needs to be done.

Oddly "fastboot devices" is not detecting my phone and I'm getting a windows popup saying its malfunctioned, yet I can boot into TWRP and mount it and transfer files just fine (except the un-mountable /data partition).

I have no clue where to start, and what order things need to be done in, with which version numbers. If anyone can help I would truly appreciate it! :crying: I am tempted to run it over in my car (several times) and have insurance replace it (so they can't tell I voided the warranty, lol :D) if I cant get it working. I would be glad to supply any other info you might need about my situation,

Thanks in advance for your time and effort, this is such a great community. -- Eclipsys

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Eclipsys:
I've been trying to get my One X working for a couple days now. I'm using Windows 8. It seems like my 2 biggest issues is 1: That my /data won't mount, its corrupted somehow, and 2: when in fast boot it wont connect to the computer, so I have no access to adb which is a huge issue. As for the S-On, yeah, somehow I lost it, but that could be fixed if I could get windows fastboot working.

I have tried different cables, its not that (In TWRP I can mount it and access my files, so I know its possible to get to the OS). I have installed and re-installed (several times) HTC Sync. When I plug in the USB cable it makes the chime sound, and shows the popup saying that the device plugged in is malfunctioning and Windows does not recognize it. I was recently reading that some people have had problems with the Sync base driver and suggested downloading the Windows 7 driver and using that, also no success. In the Device Manager it shows the phone with the error Code 10.

Quote from Microsoft website -- "The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows."

It suggests a couple possible fixes, one being editing the registry, which I'm about to try, even though I doubt it will work. After that I will try running adb on my Ubuntu PC, but in all honesty, I'm just taking shots in the dark.

As for the corrupt partition, I have the feeling that if I can get it back in working order I should then be able to use a backup to get it booting to OS. As far as I know the /data partition is on the sd-card with all the other partitions so that leads me to believe that its not the whole sd-card that's corrupt, somehow just that part...?

I have no idea how it got this messed up. But if anyone has suggestions or experience with either of these matters, I'm listening.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The corrupt data partition is going to be a bit of a hurdle to get over I think. If it is actually corrupt (which it looks to be) there's not really a lot you can do. As far as getting your fastboot connection working, there's a drivers thread in our General Section, you might need to scroll down a bit but it's there.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Eclipsys:
No luck with alternate drivers, but I do have it working on Ubuntu, so a minor win. What I'm looking into now is using the adb shell (BusyBox) to possibly use fdisk to format the partitions and then reset them up. EDIT: Not going to work, virtual partitions inside virtual partitions... I paid for the insurance so getting a new one is really only going to cost me a week without a cell, but its more of not wanting to admit defeat, lol.

Anyways, still looking for an alternative. Cant flash an OS or a backup until it is seeing a /data partition. All ideas are welcome.

I did see a program written by someone called Nocturnal that is supposed to fix corrupted sd-cards, but it seems all his download links are '404'. - If you have it or know where I can get it, message me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unfortunately I think the insurance might be your only option. Nocturnal's fix is for the sd card only, which is completely separate to the/data partition.
