[AT&T HTC One (M8)] magicbumm328:
I was attempting to unlock the bootloader on my AT&T HTC One M8 and when you press power and vol down and you go to select fastboot...well my finger accidentally slipped and I hit the option below that. I do not remember what it is but now I have a red phone with a triangle and exclamation point in it on my screen that I can't get rid off.

Help please!

Issue resolved figured out how to advance recovery mode. Thanks in advance
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Glad you found the solution. But for the benefit of others, the red exclamation point is stock recovery. To enter recovery options menu from there, I believe you press power+vol up.

Not sure if there is a reboot option from there. But at any point AFAIK you can also hold power+vol up (for several seconds) to reboot the phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] magicbumm328:
Thank you! I found that the power + vol up is what got me into further settings. I have really only rooted Samsung devices so it was a little different and I panicked lol but I found that out and thank you for the other info about being able to reboot the phone I did not know that. But its all working well now and I have flashed a ROM and all. Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jacoballen22:
So, I still have my s2. I'm unrooted and the sim card slot doesn't work anymore. Not many apps are compatible with my phone. What should I do? I want to make this secondary device useful once again.

I keep it in airplane mode with WiFi on. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knoxyouout:
Root it, flash a decent custom rom with a dsp manager/good audio settings program, a good audio player program,and turn it in to a gigantic mp3 player?

I dunno.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
I'd root it, install AOSPA or FrostedCarbon Unofficial (both are KitKat.) All apps and games I want to install are compatible with it. What Android version is it running?

It's on 2.3.6 I think. it's terrible. When it was my daily driver I had it rooted with Jedi mind trick. I have been out of the loop since though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
If you want it to be a decent device, upgrade it to at least 4.0.4 (ota or Odin,) flash the latest TWRP through Odin, do a backup and a full wipe, flash ParonoidAndroid (and gapps if you want,) wipe cache and Dalvik and reboot. If everything went well and after you are done flashing/modding everything, you may delete the backup if it's taking up too much space. I usually hold on to mine, though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jaf5489:
Do what this guy says! If you're still on the stock ROM, you can easily update it to the official Jelly Bean release through Kies. After that, flash something like Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod, SlimKat, etc. I took an old phone of mine, put a 16GB microSD in, installed Viper4Android audio, and used it as a Bluetooth/Car auxiliary device :cool:. You could also use it as a remote for things like Spotify or Roku, just search the play store for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrc2:
I use it for Tapatalk, music player, email, and remote for XBMC. AOSPA supports App2Sd (which is really the other part of internal storage) so that you can install more apps. If your sim still worked, I'd replace the battery and install AOSPA in it and use it for a daily driver.

I tried absolutely every possible solution except replacing that part, so I'm sure it's still usable. Gonna re-root and try one of these roms out. So weird since I've been out of the forums so long.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mkdroid:
I would immediately root it. Because I've done it to my T-Mobile S2-Hercules long time ago and I've tried almost all of the custom ROMs/ Kernals that are out there.

I'm currently using S2 right now because I've lost my Galaxy S4. I've installed Paranoid Android 4.45 to my Galaxy S2-Hercules and believe me this ROM is by far the BEST, STABLE, and FAST. Recently, I've updated to Paranoid Android 4.5 BETA2. So far no major bugs except shooting a video.

As far as installing APPS goes, I've installed tons of apps/games, all of them are working and stable in S2. So far no issues.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to ROOT IT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ayr0:
I would install a custom rom, especially if it isn't your main phone.

I'd use it for a music player.

Then for gags, I'd probably theme it to make it look like an iPod. :)

For Google Services, download app called 'Disable Service' on Play Store. Then open the app, select 'Google Play Services', untick all line that has blue color.

For Android system, it's mostly used by data activities (sync, gps, etc). You can either disable them, or keep them ;)

I looked around but couldn't really figure out what is necessary

for example: what is the TA PARTITION BACKUP.

im not really worried about losing personal data as i don't have much on the phone, i just purchased it.

anyways. thanks for your time and help!

[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
I've had my Spigen tempered glass for about 3 weeks on this G3 and today it formed a number randomly on the side of the screen. It's not touching the outside (meaning it didn't break the seal) and there is absolutely no dust or dirt under it. The bubble wont go away and has gotten slightly bigger. I tried running a lot games to heat the phone up to see if it would re-adhere, however it would bit, I also tried pushing it down/our using a card and microfiber cloth. I've had many Spigen tempered glass when protectors before, but I haven't seen this issue pop up. It's unfortunate, and I really don't want to return it to amazon or exchange it and go through the hassle of another perfect installation. It should be noted that my phone did not over heat at all, I didn't drop it or do anything to cause this. It just showed up. Any ideas?
[G3 Accessories] 4ndroid99:
I'm looking at reviews on Amazon and it appears as if there are a few other ppl that are experiencing that bubble issue. It's probably a defective problem with the screen protector itself.
[G3 Accessories] ED2O9:
I'm experiencing the exact same problem with the iCarez tempered glass screen protector I installed less than two weeks ago. It started with a small separation on the left edge and is now halfway down the screen and it's about 1/8" wide. Nothing will make it stay down and it looks like crap.
[G3 Accessories] shook187:
What a complete waste of money these tempered glass screen protectors are. I ended up buying a couple different brands, I basically threw money away.. They all suffered different issues from separation to loss of touch screen sensitivity.. I ended up buying a 3 pack of cheap. 99 cent screen protectors and couldn't be happier with the results compared to the more expensive tempered glass ones.

Known about most glass protectors on the G3 or all devices? Because if your saying on all devices you are dead wrong. Been using glass protectors from all sorts of different companies on every device I've owned and never once have I seen this occur.

[G3 Accessories] thegrants82:
Saying that you have used them on every device that you have owned isn't really saying much because they haven't even been out that long.........but good for you that they have worked well on everything thing that you have owned. Personally I think paying that much for a screen protector is a complete waste of money and I also feel the same about cases. Before you start telling me that you are getting them for 5 bucks, I am talking percentage wise.
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
Ive had them on 4-5 phones now which is a fair amount (this includes my wife's phones as well). There wear zero issues with them at all. I don't mind spending the money on it because it's my preference. Back KB topic I called amazon who is replacing it and I contacted Spigen to ask them again what the issue is with the adhesive on these lately.

Edit

Also I have used the glass t.r, t, and nano from Spigen if that makes a difference
[G3 Accessories] thegrants82:
Awesome. Sounds like you have it all figured out then. People buying 30$ and up screen protectors is great for the economy so keep on buying ?
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
They've been out for several years. I'd say that's a fair amount of time to become an established product. I've had them on about 20 to 30 devices. Ranging from smart phones, iPods, and tablets. And while you feel they aren't worth the money, which is fine your entitled to an opinion as is everyone, I disagree. I think that's it's not worth it to overlook a product which will save your screen in the unfortunate and unlikely event your phone takes a dive to the floor. For me, the 30 to 40 bucks for one of these is worth every penny and is not even close to the cost of replacing the phones screen. But that's just my opinion.

As far as the topic is concerned... I hope Amazon gets it all sorted for you. They are usually pretty good about these things.

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 Accessories] thegrants82:
40$ each on 30 devices as you say...that's 1200$ for freaking screen protectors! So over the course of 3 years average over 30$ a month on screen protectors alone....your screen protectors cost more than my home WiFi each month. Good for you!!!!!
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
Average cost for one is 25. 20 to 30 devices most likely being closer to 20, but I could go count if you'd like. And of course "my devices" would include the 5 members of my family. So in terms of math let's say

$25 × 20 devices = $500

$500 ÷ 5 people = $100 per person

$100/person ÷ 4 or 5 years = $20/$25 a year

$20/$25 ÷ 12 months = $1.66/$2.08

Obviously not every one is the same price, but if I get them from Mime USA as I usually do it's $27 for their most expensive protector. But a couple bucks a month is nothing when we are talking about devices that cost anywhere from 500 to 900 bucks each depending on brand, memory, etc...

Again, as I said before, it's all preference/opinion. You have yours, which I respect and didn't attempt to call you out on or make it to seem ridicoulous now I only ask the courtesy of you doing the same. Sound reasonable bud?

I have the Spigen Glastr Nano Slim glass and absolutely love it! This is coming from a guy that has hated screen protectors till now. Hated glass n the past cause they were kinda thick, and u could easily feel the edge. This one has rounded (chamfered) edges. Also has a fingerprint resistant coating that actually works! My finger glides across it easier than the stock screen. Mostly its invisible. No one can tell its there, I have to point it out. And its designed to fit perfectly with the Slim Armor case. No bubbles of flaws at all. I highly recommend it!!!!
[G3 Accessories] flaring afro:
Just installed mine today. It's great, and will protect it from falls a lot better than a plastic protector (my main concern), and won't get scratched as easily. Also, it feels much nicer - your fingers really glide across it.

To the OP, did you move the protector after it touched the phone or did you get it right the first time?
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
It's never been moved I installed it perfectly and left it like that. My replacement comes today, but the bubble has gotten bigger. I still have no idea what caused it, I just hope it doesn't happen again.

Got mine from Amazon yesterday and I'm disappointed. On the right side near the top they're was some whiteish powder on the adhesive that now slightly obscures the view of the battery icon in status bar. Also there was lint on the adhesive. Quite a bit of it actually and it's having lots of trouble adhering on the edges. It's almost like someone tried to put it on their phonedidn't like and repackaged it and sent back to Amazon like they hadn't opened it. Super upset about it.

Anybody finds that even if it says anti-fingerprint, it will still attracts fingerprint. It does not totally prevent it.

Quite disappointed with it
[G3 Accessories] Pure+:
It does a better job than any other protector I've had except for mime USA. And if you can find one that's truly anti-finger print in the sense that none are left behind then please share, because I don't think one exists but I'd love to know if it does. I do believe that when they say anti-finger print they only mean that it not nearly as much of a print magnet as the naked screen or plastic protectors. I don't think it's possible to make it finger print proof simply because we naturally have oily skin which will always leave some residue behind.

So got my replacement today. They gave me free overnight on it and guess what? It came jacked the F up just like the last one but worse. It wasn't even the right damn one. Someone has repacked the spigen box with a screen protector from a different brand. I was super thick and the cut out at the top left pretty much thebwhoel top of the screen exposed. Unbelievable!!! I don't understand how I keep getting duds. Anyway. Amazon is sending a third with free overnight once again. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday depending on whether they were able to get it on the plane or not. So fingers crossed that 3rd time will be the charm. If not then I will never buy from spigen again. This is getting sad. But at least they keep giving me free overnight. Guess Prime pays off occasionally.

[G3 Accessories] flaring afro:
Anti-fingerprint doesn't mean it 100% can't have them, it means it fights against having them and it's easier to wipe them off. That's like expecting a nonstick pan to not have any grease or juices on it after baking something on it, and to be completely clean still. :rolleyes:

If you're getting an opened box with a different protector in it, that's almost certainly Amazon's fault and not Spigen's. Some people apparently are buying cheaper ones too and then returning the Spigen box with the cheap protector, or something. Amazon should be checking their returned items better before resending them.
