[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
I always have to have a screen protector. Not worth the risk and if this beautiful screen gets scratched it's FOR-EV-ER! I got the same kind for my G3 that I had on my Note II. THIS They are pretty easy to apply, you get 3 and life time replacements.They really are clear as can be so it's like it's not even there and if it weren't for around the speaker at the top I would probably forget it was even on there. Well worth $10 IMO. :victory:
[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
I still don't have a screen protector. Not sure what you guys do to get scratches in your screen, but just use a case and don't put other stuff in the pocket I put my phone in. Been doing this for years without issue.
[Verizon LG G3] jmacdonald19:
I always do it just out of habit and precaution - just got my G3 and already ordered my Nilikin 9H glass screen protector from Amazon Prime. It's $13, not a lot of money to add that much protection.

And a case too... holy wow this thing is slippery in the hand!
[Verizon LG G3] dfb8085:

The bodyguardz screen protector is too thickbto allow a skim case to fit over the edge of it. I have to use a case with rubber silicon inner with harder plastic outer shell with it and because of that I don't like the screen protector. I have a nice suppcase I can't use. Anybody else run into this

I've been really happy with my Tech Armor glass screen protector. inexpensive, very slim, no difference in responsiveness, seems resistant to oil/fingerprints. Saw a video of someone hacking at it with keys, scissors and such and held up very well.
[Verizon LG G3] WeThePeople13:
I swear by this screen protector. I had some other 9h tempered protectors but I keep my phone in my back pocket and they cracked. Also they did not have the right feel or responsiveness of the flexible 8h..... I have had it on since July and not one compliant.

I have a slim case and it does not add any thickness to the phone either.
[Verizon LG G3] geoff5093:
No screen protector here. I got the phone last summer, and up until last month I was caseless too, with no scratches on the phone or display, not even hairline scratches on the display. I decided to get a case just to be safe, but still go without a screen protector.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I got a case from Body Glove that works well.

I then got a tempered glass screen protector. Figured it was just smart to have it. Hasn't affected the touch screen sensitivity that I can tell, and if it does, then it's rare and it's worth it to help give an extra layer of protection in case I drop the phone.
[Verizon LG G3] kameleongt:
I have a glass protector with 1 fine scratch on it and in the area around the earpiece on the lg glass I have another similar scratch. Nothing major or really noticeable.
[Verizon LG G3] prosaschi:
I agree, I always get a screen protector, no matter what they say the glass is.......
[Verizon LG G3] maxpower7:
I've gone through about 15 phones in 5 years and I've never once used a screen protector. I haven't scratched or otherwise damaged a single one of those screens. To each their own.

I was also a "naked" kind of guy until iCarez came out with the .2mm 9H glass

[Verizon LG G3] bayniner:
I haven't been using a screen protector for the past 2 months and haven't noticed any scratches and I'm pretty careless with my phone, no case no screen protector n I've dropped it a least twice outside on cement n no damage to the screen at least.

Btw the screen feels so much better without a screen protector
[Verizon LG G3] sgs2.e4gt:
Everything feels better without protection... still, nothing lasts forever, and good luck runs out. Use seatbelts, wear condoms, and keep your phone in a case.

Tempered Glass

I just spent $50 (This is alot of money for me) for a tempered glass screen protector at an over priced shop at a mall. Three hours later, about 10 minutes ago, I took it off and threw it at the wall. I am way to ocd for a screen protector. I did not like the way it felt or looked. I think I rather deal with a scratch than having a screen protector.

Edit: It is $25 to buy a new screen...

I have a Galaxy S5 on Verizon and there is currently no method to unlock the bootloader. I am wondering if there is a place to go and learn how to unlock bootloaders (and I mean finding the unlock method, not just flashing something). I know I will most likely not be able to, but I want to learn how they did it for simpler devices. I have moderate programming knowledge and I have plenty of knowledge on Android works, but not how to unlock bootloaders. Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] Md.Shafikul.islam:
Hi Everyone...

Recently i had took a simple project...trying to mod a rom and give it a new look...i did all things what i know... like Systemui,Farmwork_res,Settings, etc,etc...but now i want to change the notification panel of my rom...and want to add lawa v5 notification panel style on my rom...But i didn't find any tutorial about this...I asked one bro and he said that to change notification panel you have to edit System ui/res/values/style.xml...But he didn't tell me that what i change in this xml...Can anybody help me in changing notification panel style?!!or give me a proper tutorial please....:(
[General Questions and Answers] SmiLeToLife:
hey, i dont know how to do that. but i can recommend that ( actually i am doing in that way)

1. find any systemui.apk that has the style what you want.

2. decompile it and go to res/values/style.xml

3. match your style.xml and your downloanded style.xml

4. try to simulate your xml to that xml .

hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] Md.Shafikul.islam:
thanks bro...

i will try it...but can i change my styles with another style?mean replaced it?!!or add all things from another style to my style?!!by notepad?!!:)
[General Questions and Answers] SmiLeToLife:
don't try to change whole lines !!!

for example :

in your style.xml -- > <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:style/Theme.Holo.

in dowloanded style.xml --> <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:style/Theme.Holo.Light">

so you have to edit your line and add '' Light '' end of it. it will look like [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:style/Theme.Holo.Light

The important thing is you have to figure out what lines are related to your notification panel!!!

I am doing the same thing right now. I have couple cm11 themes and i am changing my sytles, colors, dimens according to theme's styles, colors.xml etc ..

I am using notepad++.

Just open the 2 xmls that you wanan check. Put them side by side and check the lines.

if something going wrong when your systemui get function ... you have to come back to your xml and check the line again.

The last say --> maybe you will need to change some drawble xmls and some drawble hdpi/ xhdpi/ xxhdpi files according to your dpi .
[General Questions and Answers] Md.Shafikul.islam:
thanks again :)

thanks again..but can you say that whichs xml on drawable may need to edit?plz.....
[General Questions and Answers] SmiLeToLife:
it depends on the rom ...

i had to edit

- ic_notify_button_bg.xml

- notification_header_bg.xml

- qs_tile_background.xml

- system_bar_notification_header_bg.xml

in drawble. I am running kitkat 4.4

maybe you need to edit those xmsl as well, maybe you dont need, maybe you dont have those xmls. not sure :)
[General Questions and Answers] Md.Shafikul.islam:
Okey...got it....

:good: last question. do i change the another's xml in values too?!!like color.xml....etc.etc?!!
[General Questions and Answers] SmiLeToLife:
maybe ... it depends on the theme's color and style. For instance: you will set your notifaction panel is white and if ur text color is white then you will not be able to read/see your notification :D you gotta see what's hapening after editing styles ... if it's ok then no problem. if it is as my mention then you gotta edit your colors.xml ...

i hope you got the concept of the work.

you can search any tutorial for editing notification panel. All necessary steps can be found. according to those tutorials you can edit your systemui.

For instance:

In the tutorial will say let's edit this line according to that .... you have to find this line at the xml in your lewa systemui and edit according to it ;)

good luck ;) happy theming ...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
Hi, my P7500 3G is currently on a custom ROM running 4.4.2, and I would like to unroot it and downgrade back to 3.2 or 4.0.4 stock as I am planning to sell it off. But if I recall correctly, repartitioning was required when the jump to 4.2 was made. So how will this affect me if I am trying to downgrade it?

Thank in advance!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
Just download the correct tar.md5 files from Sammobile and flash it using Odin then access stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot. You should be good to go, that's the way I downgrade my tab and I don't see any abnormalities.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
As long as the stock rom and stock recovery files are correct, there should not be any issues? I will try to flash using ODIN for rom, previously tried to flash using cwm, but keep getting an error..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SystemDoctor:
Yes as long as the files for the device are correct, go on and continue and CWM doesn't support tar.md5 and you may want to look at the deepsleep for the p7500 for a better battery life. Here's a link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39906672
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Just that all your files will be in a "0" folder because of the sdcard changes in 4.2. You would have to manually move them out of the 0 folder. But since you're planning to sell it, you can just wipe your internal memory in recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZerReaper:
Okay, just wanna let you guys know that I have successfully flash back to stock using ODIN. The first time I did it, the device was stuck at the Samsung logo. I waited until about 45 minutes and decided to force restart and enter recovery to wipe data and cache. After which, the device was able to boot successfully into Android.

Thank you for all your help!

Hi,

Anytime i call someone or i get a call i cannot touch screen stops working.

I cannot hang up, cannot put it on speaker, cannot mute or call conference. Funny think is back and home button works fine.

Tried clear cache of dialer and all the google services but i dont know where the problem is.

Anyone has any idea what the problem could be?:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bdsaur:
I am on the latest update and found a way to disable bands for the M8. So far I have seen no improvement but hopefully it can help someone else.

1. Go to dialer and enter ##3282#

2. Enter your MSL password

3. Go to Advanced then LTE and choose enable

4. On the main EPST menu choose LTE

5. From here you can disable certain bands.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jkt97401:
Are these bands unused on Sprint?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sgt. slaughter:
No they are used... And once Sprint turns them on in your area you will be mad they are disabled....

Band 25 - LTE on 1900MHz

Band 26 - LTE on 850MHz

Band 41 - LTE on 2.5GHz

What's weird here is that mine showed band 41 disabled.... Also the band priority menu option errors out with a bad validation...stating you can't change it with only one enabled while I have 2....odd

changing band priority

Changing priority is now possible through the menus mentioned earlier in this thread. I appologoze but I am traveling and in a rush so cannot explain in detail. But if you know your msl do the ##3283# thing then go to lte and notice how priority is more informative a d you can now Change!!!!!finally!!! Cause here in Houston b26 use to be super fast but now is overloaded and b25 is back to being quicker. (Just noticed this in some areas)

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] letsmoshjosh:
I'm so extremely new to this forum (and any forum, for that matter) that I just have an overload of questions. I've taken the time to read some stickies for noobs and that you should always read and search before posting but I am impatient (I tried and failed).

I recently got a gorgeous, red htc one m8 from Verizon. This phone is bomb, and a total step up from my previous galaxy s3, but now I really want to root for the first time and see where it can take me.

I'd like to backup my phone before following the instructions to root, and the resources I've gotten don't seem promising and I was really just wanting to know what would be best to save EVERYTHING from multimedia to my somewhat custom settings. (?)

Please don't hate me. I'm so new. If I ever get to the point of rooting this thing are there any personal recommendations on where to begin after I've rooted (or threads that already have that stuff)?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
The rooting process (including soff) wipes no data. After you get root, you can install an app like titani backup or helium backup to backup individual data. You also want to do a nandroid backup in recovery the second you install a custom recovery, so you have a cushion to fall in in a bad situation
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] letsmoshjosh:
Thank you! :)

Now I've just got to google nandroid backup and custom recovery. These are honestly my baby steps with this, should I even root without knowing all this stuff or will it just get easier?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I would say you need to read read read. The s-off procedures for either firewater our sunshine are damn near idiot proof so there's little to no risk of damaging things there. However, once you have the ability to flash things in a custom recovery the risk goes way up. As long as you're not flashing unverified experimental files or accidentally flashing files for a different model then today's recoveries make it pretty easy. Also, make a nandroid before you change just about anything through recovery. Happy flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] illstaygold13:
All of the above are true. Please revisit the thread if you have any issues setting up ADB on your machine before you attempt firewater (S-OFF). The big thing for me was making sure I got everything installed properly before I flashed. Once you do the root process be it Samsung, HTC, et al... you will find it is remarkably easy.

If you're looking for a custom ROM, be sure to stick to the Verizon HTC One M8 forums only unless you're directed there by a thread. Before you flash anything at all, just make sure you're solid on the process. Many times, there are awesome people who take the time to make a video about the process from start to end. Those will probably enormously useful for you on your first foray.

Again, ask around and read up! As cntryby429 said, read as much as you possibly can. The truth is, the devs do far more work than we could ever imagine as far as root goes.

Cheers!
