You're right. They weren't there when I ordered a Skinomi a few days ago, good to see more companies getting stuff out for the X. I'm going to contact two other well known companies about custom skinning my PS4, Vita, and Moto Xs '13 &'14.

Did you receive yours? Does it give it some grip. For previous phones i have put a back skin from Xtremeguard to give the phone more grip.
[X 2014 Accessories] Infekxion:
My delivery date is between the 6th and the 9th and I got the carbon fiber one to cover a very unsightly self made blemish. I haven't used Skinomi or Xtremeguard in a couple years but I do remember the xtreme being really grippy, especially if there's moisture on your hand.

It's shinier than the carbon fiber on my PS4 but different companies so that's expected. I'm at work and Tapatalk won't let me upload pics so I'll have to when I get home. I do like it though.

How does it feel? Im looking for something to give me grip on the back and sides.
[X 2014 Accessories] Infekxion:
I don't notice any change in the grip, maybe a little and as you can see I didn't use the pieces and I never do because I occasionally need to use a case. My back plate is the black plastic which is a fingerprint magnet, the skin remedies that.

[X 2014 Accessories] MarshallCW:
I got and applied the skinomi techskin yesterday myself. Overall I like how the skin feels. The back and the sides feel grippier, which was one of the two reasons I bought the skin. (The other was for some protection from scratches on the body.) My biggest issues with it right now is that the back skin is a few millimeters small in both direction, which leaves a bit exposed. The other is that the screen is pretty tricky to apply properly. It's tackier than the screen, I already know there are going to be blemishes from application. (My own fault.) Also I don't have a heat gun, so it may start peeling.

Skin with grip

I ordered a few different ones to add grip to my moto x. The one that had the most grip was the Xtreme guard. But the xtreme guard didn't have cover for around the sides. It also doesn't have a cut out for the dimple. The second most grippy one was the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield and it has a cut out for the dimple and covers all the sides. The skintomi I found slipperier which is good for a screen protector but not good if your goal is to make the back and sides have more grip.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendziora:
Hi guys I am currently in the market for a flagship phone, and I can't seem to be able to decide between:

HTC one M8

Xperia z3 compact

LG g3

Moto x 2014

PRICE IS NOT A PROBLEM.

So which would you pick and why? What are the pros and cons?

Thanks for your help :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpurick:
M8: Ultra pixel camera sux IMO. Very big phone.

G3: Also pretty big. Reports of heat issues. Very nice device, tho. Personally I'm inclined toward the G2.

Moto X: Battery life on this phone will never be good enough.. Camera underperforms.

Z3 Compact could use more storage, but it's a really nice device. 720p is not a problem, but it feels like they could have squeezed more usability out of the 4.6" screen. Thing is slipperier than a wet bar of soap. Haven't dropped it, but it slides on any surface you'd put it down on. Undoubtedly one of 2014's best phones.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
I actually find the glass to be quite grippy and "sticky" in the hand. More so than my previous phone which had a soft-touch plastic, anyhow.

Z3 compact is definitely the one you should pick of you want compactness AND top performance. And the water proofing gives you peace of mind.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclypz:
I came from a HTC One M8.

Overall, I have no regrets and I'm not looking back. The M8's ultra pixel camera did not impress me. Photos lacked detail and were noisy. The M8 is also a really tall phone for its screen size. The top and bottom bezels are huge to accommodate the stereo speakers. Speaker sound quality goes to the M8. The Z3C's speakers sound so muffled in comparison.

Display quality also goes to M8. It's not so much screen resolution, rather colour accuracy. Z3C colours are very "blue". I can't even tell the difference between 1080P vs 720P unless both phones are side by side.

Storage capacity goes to M8. I really wish the Z3C had 32GB, instead of only 16GB. With the direction Android is taking, having a large SD card won't really help when it comes to apps. A few games and as your installed apps fill their cache folders and your 11.8GB useable space is gone.

Everything else goes to the Z3C. Including battery life, camera, better physical size, waterproofing, etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
I can from HTC m7. Considered new moto x but battery and screen size weren't right for me.

Z3c battery, camera, and SD card is what sold me. I don't miss the full HD screen of the m7 as I prefer the smaller size of the Z3c.

Edit: and the noise cancelling headset is amazing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ferrojasaguilar:
hello dear friends, maybe someone can lead me in the right direction here. I have a sprint Htc One m8 Harman Kardon with badboyz 4.4.2 rom installed. I have tried rumrunner S-off and Firewater S-off to no avail. I then read about Sunshine S-off and was ok with parting with $25- to have my phone unlocked but when I run the compatibility test in sunshine it says that my htc isnt supported! My htc M8 currently has the BadBoyz rom in it, I dont have a nandroid backup to get back to s tock and i havent been able to find a stock rom that i can flash in TWRP. I have only found RUUs, but to use RUUs you have to have s-off so I really dont know what else to try at this point.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I'm looking to replace my Magician with the Trinity. I've had some good times with my Magician and have been extremely happy with it. The Trinity has everything I want in an upgrade, but I'm worried about its processor compared to the Intel XScale 416MHz. How does the Samsung 400MHz compare? Has anyone owned the Magician as well that can compare the two? I want something at least as fast as the Magician for use in windows apps, and gaming performance in particular. If anyone has been able to play with both devices I would really appreciate your thoughts about the speed compared between the two.

Thanks

[P3600 General] Moaske:
I upgraded from a Magician to the black beauty Trinity... :)

And haven't regretted it for a minute. The only downside for me was that i had to get used to a dutch OS instead of english, because in the Netherlands a WWE version is sadly not available.

As far as performance goes, i can tell you that literally everything on the Trinity runs smooth, fast en stable. Of course there are some fine-tuning bugs to be ironed out, but hey: was the Magician that good on it's first ROM ?

The only things that have annoyed me so far, are the horribly slow response to scrolling using the wheel (and the Dpad aswell in fact), and the fact that we have to deal with the MS BT stack which will always have it's bugs and annoyances.

The processor can do a lot at the same time without slowing the device down (only exception being A2DP), and i was pretty suprised how much i could install into main memory on this device. It has around 60 Megs free storage at first use, and that's almost double the size of the 'storage'partition on the initial Magician (half of the 64 Megs RAM).

Batterytime is also significantly better than that of a Magician (even so with having a UMTS radio on all the time), and the screen is just awesome :p

WiFi has great reception, and the device is much nicer to handle than a Magician due to it's more rounded curves and bigger/more buttons and WM5 being much more focused to one-handed operation (which works very nice).

Absolutely great device i must say, so i'll recommend: take the plunge ! :)

I just hope that a well-tuned ROM that fixes the little annoyances will be released soon, so this baby can take me through at least the next 3 years. If that ROM contains GPS as well, it'll make the P3600 the ultimate killer device (but i can live without, as using a BT GPS mouse works just as well for me).

Obviosly the Jam is way faster than the trinity i some areas

RAM access Speed index; Jam 6806, Trinity 1644

Main storage (read)KB/sec; Jam 7236, Trinity 3032

Storage Card (write); Jam 671, Trinity 154

In two areas the Trinity is faster:

Main storage (write)KB/sec; Jam 269, Trinity 493

Draw bitmaps Speed index; Jam 424, Trinity 542

The big question is of course: what does these differences mean in real life use?
[P3600 General] tom0_1:
@tomerbn thank you for your help.

in my oppinion there will be no remarkable difference in daily use. maybe programs will be opened a little bit slower but without a stopwatch you don´t realize it.

[P3600 General] meroupow:
Well it's fast until you try to playback videos with TCPMP.

The OMAP 850 beats the Samsung 400 Mhz.

This cpu is no good for video and relies on IMAGEON coprocessor for hardware acceleration. And as long as it's not working...

[P3600 General] meroupow:

[P3600 General] moulee27:
Hi,

I traded my Magician to a white Trinity last week. Trinity is cool!

I have no clue on the comparison figures; but from my own usage, I think that:

1. Trinity runs WM5 smoothly, better than O2 Atom

2. screen display is cool, but nearly blackout under sunlight

3. BT 2.0 (and A2DP) is good; now I can listen to my fav songs via BT

I am very happy with Trinity!
[P3600 General] tom0_1:
i read in a german forum, if you activate GDI in video settings, then playback should run smoothly. i do not use tcmp so i cannot give further hints.
[P3600 General] Moaske:
Set it to 'RAW-framebuffer' and it will run smooth as butter :D

The main problem with the ATI-imageon, is that it isn't being used at firmware level (yet)... If it had, this would be one great device :p
[P3600 General] Moaske:
I agree absolutely with that :)

But the slow response is not all that consistent anyway, most of the time it's response is very snappy....maybe i wan't clear about that. It's only the scrolling that responds terribly slow... and A2DP is a damn heavy task on the processor, so the little slowdown in response is less worse than i had expected...

All in all a great device; way cool upgrade, way better... :)
[P3600 General] meroupow:
I do not agree:

- first for best quality directdraw is better than rawframebuffer and is equivalent in terms of performance.

- second "smoth as better" except for h264, xvid, wmv... and anything that is more than 320*240. so in fact it's smooth only with divx 5, 320*240 reencoded movies.

oh let me think... it's compete crap in fact since my HP4350 bought 3 or 4 years ago is able to play whatever full divx movie without reencoding and only have 400Mhz Xscale cpu.
[P3600 General] Moaske:
So i understand that re-encoding is to much a hassle for you...? And you expect full-size DVD movies to run on such an underpowered device ? Honestly; could the Magician cope with VGA or higher movies at high framerates...? Mine didn't... :cool:
[P3600 General] prsnow:
Movie playback

It sounds like the general vibe here is that the Trinity pretty much sucks for playing movies compared to the XScale 416MHz. I can't figure out why HTC is going with the Samsung CPU instead of Intel for their new devices! Cheaper maybe? This device could have been so sweet if it had the right processor in it.
[P3600 General] Moaske:
The Samsung is much more efficient, so if you love battery-life....it's defenitely better. If you're (unlike me) a hardcore video-guy, it probably doesn't live up to the expectations. If only the ROM utilised the ATI Imageon better... :)

But i'm not such a video-guy (who likes to watch a movie on a tiny 2,8" screen anyway...?), so i guess this Trinity is just fine with me. It performs very snappy to anything else than videoplayback.

But i think i've discovered the major flaw (performance-wise) the Trinity has: it has quite slow RAM memory...i think this is what makes it slow at memory-devouring applications like video and WMP (the latter which uses a ridiculous 10 Megs sometimes).
[P3600 General] yegor:
Im not too impressed with battery life. My Jamin was unkillable. After a day's use, it was at about 65%. I get this thing to about 40%.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
I've noticed that 3G takes much more battery power. You can just use gsm and you will probably have longer battery life. Of course, the Prophet is still a bit better, but not much since the Trinity has a 1500ma battery.
[P3600 General] meroupow:
I agree with the slow memory as it seems that in improves a bit TCPMP performances when this option is checked.

Strange enough the only thing that I found significantly better when upgrading from wizard was the video camera...

It is really usable now and file size/quality ratio is very good thanks to Imageon hardware encoding.

Just wish I could control the bitrate...
[P3600 General] goodie:
i absolutely love my M700, i play full movies in media player perfectly, i use total video converter & encode as "mobile mpeg 4 video" 320x240 500kbits/s & they play "smooth as butter" ignore the fact activesync says these file types are not supported just transfer anyway & media player adds them to library as normal "supported" vids
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
One thing that should be a consideration, but nobody has mentioned it, is that the Trinity running WM5 will not "forget" everything that you've entered into it if the battery dies since it uses Flash Ram. Try letting your Jam battery go dead...you will have an empty shell. I know, most people never let the battery get that low, but if I were depending on my phone under emergency conditions, I wouldn't want it to forget all my info just because I was unable to charge it on a schedule. I mean, that is one reason to have a device that can manage all of your information, so that it is available at all times. I had an old WM2003 device that I setup and used just as a stop gap. I put it in a drawer with a full battery, after a few weeks I tried to turn it on....the battery was dead. I plugged it in to charge and turned on the device...HARD RESET. WM2003 was not the ideal OS for portable devices.
[P3600 General] frigit:
I upgraded from a mini to the Trinity.

Personally, the mini feels better - more solid.

Not too happy with the shiney Trinity which shows up finger prints.

The mini was definitely a faster unit, but it was running WM2003se.

The trinity however is a great all rounder, GPS, WiFi, a camera which is 100x better than the mini. Its very loud and clear too and the screen is alot brighter than the mini.

I loved my mini but you soon will love the extras you get with Trinity.

Just hope they fix a few bugs with the GPS rom.
