not worth it. ordered the spartan tempered glass protector, and 2 CF back protector. 2 weeks after it was shipped, i stil haven't received it, so i cancelled the order.

buddy got the same thing: screen protector has halo. back protector (white) looks like crap. cut outs do not match. he also asked for a refund.

but at least customer service was quick and helpful.

I got a new version of the xtreme Spartan glass. Has anyone tried it yet? The old one is on the phone. New on on top.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 4! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] OutCastedSheep:
thanks for the pics.

interesting,

i like how it covers the cam len. but why not the sensors too though. my brother had his cover by the earlier "tech armor glass" works fine..

i defiantly want to try it and see how it works out.

is there any working or new coupon codes.?

aawhh damn. OUT of Stock..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
I wouldn't put this on my phone even if it was free.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] airmaxx23:
It sucks that the XtremeGuard protectors fit so poorly on the Note 4, I've had great luck installing them on the Note 3, S4, S5 and iPhones for people.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Don't waste your money, fitment is very small with Halo and very sharp edges.

These sharp edges undermine the strength of the glass as I had one break the other day by a very short drop onto a baseboard heater.

anything that hits that sharp edge means game over,
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dapimpinj:
Don't bother purchasing this. After 2 weeks with it on, the tempered glass screen protector started fogging up behind it and there's no way to clean it off without removing the screen protector.

Please delete, I accidently made a double posting. I am not sure how I did that.

I am trying to purchase something from the India Android Market store.

Is there a way to emulate the market store to think you are from India? Either by Bluestacks or another way I do not know.
[Sprint LG G2] br0adband:
I can't think of any other way to ask the question so forgive me for that convoluted topic, but I'm honestly curious. I just got a G2 yesterday, spent hours getting it figured out, read a few hundred posts and dozens of threads, finally got CloudyG3 running great on it and now I figured I'd pose the question.

Because the Nexus 5 preview of Android 5.0 has been out for a while, and there are quite a few ROMs based on that, and because the LG G2 and the Nexus 5 share basically the same hardware across the board, I'm really wondering why there doesn't seem to be any interest whatosever (or from what I can tell) in potentially porting that over to the LG G2? Is this device really that far out of bounds at this point in time - I say that because I know the "crowds" flock to the most popular devices for ROM development by nature, and that's fine.

I'm not knocking the amazing work of each and every dev here at XDA Developers - it is after all a forum for them, not casual users like myself, so I'm happy to be able to partake of the products and ROMs they create for so many of us to actually put to use.

It just seems a bit odd to me I suppose that the G2 and the N5 are basically the same devices when you really dig into the hardware specs (with some differences, obviously, but they share far more in common than they don't). I mean, I remember when the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G came out and there was a ton of stuff you could do between them since again they were basically the same devices in different packaging much like the N5 and the G2 happen to be also.

Is there something I'm missing here, something that flat out makes porting over any version of that Nexus 5 Android 5.0 preview code to the G2 impossible? Or is it just not worth the time for whoever to do it - I'm not a dev at all, don't have nearly the talent for this kind of stuff that so many others do so, I'm a dead end myself. :)

This CloudyG3 port of the G3 stock ROM is damned nice, it really is, it's like a totally different device in many respects with enhanced features the G2 has always been capable of anyway (the 4K video recording, etc) and this ROM brings that out.

I'm just wondering now what LG has in mind for their initial G2 Android 5.0 release after the first of the year.

Anyway, just thought I'd toss the question out there as I can't find a single thing related to this here or at the LG G2 subforum either. If it's absolutely not possible, I can comprehend that - it's just that the hardware is so similar I have to wonder why nobody has put forth any effort at all, I guess.

Comments and discussion are always welcome...
[Sprint LG G2] Jshugzda:
We don't need or want to port the preview lollipop version from the nexus. The g2 is going to have have an update to lollipop 5.0 either Jan or Feb. The lg g3 will be getting 5.0 before us so a dev may port that rom before our official update. Also cm12 should be coming out this month so we will have a 5.0 lollipop very soon. Hope that answers your question
[Sprint LG G2] br0adband:
It's a start I suppose, just seemed weird that the preview code has been available for quite some time and apparently nobody considered it worthy of a porting attempt.

And yes, I realize that when Lollipop drops for the G3 someone (Cloudyfa, hopefully, because of his excellent CloudyG3 for the G2) will most likely do their best to port it over fast, probably before we even see the official G2 build appear which will be pretty cool.

Fun times ahead... ;)
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
I also think it is due to it being just a preview. No developers feel it is solid enough to work with.

I also agree that it is strange that the g2 and nexus 5 are almost completely alike except camera of course. But no real change of Roms.

Look into the non sprint development. And you will find many support the ls980. You just have to look hard. Being that every carrier and international worldwide have this phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiaforme:
I have updated to the last version and it worked fine for a while. I didn't touch any other settings. Now Hangouts just won't work anymore, it simply won't connect. I tried wiping cache and app data, unistalled the update and reinstalled, restarted my phone, nothing works. Did Google change something on their server? I even enabled every Google app I had previously disabled and restarted phone to see if it will help, but it didn't. I do have some other apps disabled but can't see how they could even be related to Hangouts. What to do?

Whatever, I download it .They are the same, even the time of creation.

Are you sure that this is the European stock, I don't think so , l think that this is a middle east & African stock because when I go to clock app , it shows some Arabian & African cities like Dubai, Cairo , Cape Town , Johannesburg ...etc and many languages are deleted but the European ( or international ) stock has Paris , London , Barcelona ...etc and has many languages pack .

So if you did understand me where is the hell is this stock backup :D , I think you're European and know how to get one :)

Hi,

Activesynch 3.8 allowed you to select whether the computer or XDA would be prioritsed in case of information conflict.

I am now using Activesynch 4.2 which does not seem to offer the user to select if a conflict arises.

I have lost a couple of appointments because the PC overode the XDA.

Anyone got any hints to improve ActiveSynch??

Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] motomob:
I have exactly the same gripe moving from my SPV C500 which ran Active Sync 3.8. That version of Active Sync was great. It synced almost twice as fast as this newer more improved version... And as you say it also gave the option of which device to use as the master in the event that two records were identified on both PC and SPV and they differed in the details.

Why oh why did Microsoft change this???!!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mixmaven:
Beta 4.5 (2) allows you to choose when a conflict is found, it is available on the microsoft downloads site.

Doesn't the "Souce Settings" on the Activesynce running on your PDA work for this??

If there is a conflict, you select either

"Keep the item on my device"

...help!!

In activesync click 'tools' then 'options'. Right click on the PC name (Right at the top - not the individual applications). Click 'source settings'. You can then select the source in case of conflict.

I rooted my Lenovo A390 using Superuser + TItanium Backup and then uninstalled default Lenovo Launcher(and some other stock apps which were of no use) after installing Nova Launcher.

Since few days many apps were repeatedly getting stopped, Maps, Play Store, Play Services, Hangouts, etc. I tried clearing cache, uninstalling updates & reinstalling etc but the problem persisted. So I did a factory reset.

Now my phone doesn't have a launcher, all I can see is the notification bar & a black screen. I cannot access app drawer or do anything else other than accessing settings.

Is there any way to get things to normal? Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

Basically what the title says. I have had my phone rooted with beanstown MJE for a while. I wanted to go to Jasmine NC4. I got the unified NC2/NC4 firmware, installed it, went to go wipe with safestrap and install Jasmine with safestrap, and safestrap won't boot to recovery.

I installed a factory KK rom NC4, and made sure I was rooted, re installed safestrap, and now I can't boot into recovery. Every time I try the phone restarts and it locks with a blank screen. I'm not sure what to do from here. Right now with the stock verizon rom my phone works fine, but I'm not sure what step I missed. Can someone point me in the direction of what I should be doing? Maybe there's a guide I missed (I followed the instructions for Jasmine rom word for word) I would really appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction, I'm a little lost at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
I know Samsung's fingerprint scanners have left much to be desired and I hear or see a lot of negative feedback about it in the past and some present but supposedly it was much improved on the Note 4.

I've only had mine for a week but can say I am pleasantly surprised as it has performed much better then expected. I did have low expectations and on the S5 I tested for a while it was mediocre at best with frequent bouts of re-scans but on this one it works great.

I've use mine for lock screen and have probably got a couple hundred tests now and maybe I've had to redo a scan... 5-7 times? For me that's more then acceptable...and the times it fails it was more just me going fast or bad alignment.

All in all I'm very happy and will continue to use it.

I know there are a lot of variables but just curious...how's it working for you and are there tips for others on how to make it more successful?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
Mine actually works pretty well. On else you figure out how to swipe your finger, it works well. The problem is that I don't like the swipe motion, so I don't use it, but when I tested it, it worked well. I wish they would have implemented the scanner into the heart monitor on the back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Works good once you get the hang of it. Small learning curve coming from TouchID but it is definitely much better than the S5 implementation IMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Guess it's not for everyone.

Definitely better then the S5 by a mile. Just surprised so many have issues I guess.

Yes the scanning method itself could be better but I think it's the "registering" or setup of one's print that is causing the issues for most.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] riz157:
I think samsung made a massive mistake in the finger scanner and I'm obviously comparing it to iphone 6 plus. iPhone 6 plus scanner works seamlessly very single time as it's design and method isn't swipe but touch based. Just like Htc one max finger print scanner samsung idea is flawed difficult to get spot on most times.

Why swipe when a simple touch will do, simples really.:silly:

Wake up samsung before you lose more customers who are getting fed up of their slow reactions to consumer demands.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hempy:
Yeah, twice for each register.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LBTaylor1984:
Please explain this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hempy:
When you register a fingerprint, it has you swipe it 20 times (two groups of 10). You can add 2 additional fingerprints, each of which need the same registration process. Using the same finger and motion for all 3 fingerprint registrations makes unlocking via the scanner much easier.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Zanr Zij:
Good for me but I want more usefull, convernient: sign in any where, lock/unlock any apps by finger.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ar216893:
Let's think with other way..

Have you seen LG promotion video that said knock code are safer than fingerprint scanner ?

Based on my view, the fingerprint in note 4 and s5 is far safer (because you need to swipe it in right registered angle, ppl who don't know what angle we register won't get easy access to our phone.

And someone post in another thread here, that swipe fingerprint scanner is more secure than touch fingerprint scanner.

So it's just personal opinion, want to choose more ease of use or prefer to safety
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JippleStar:
Just make sure to disable the function that wipes your phone if you fail to unlock your phone successfully after x amount of times :D Nothing happened to me, but I noticed it was checked by default x_x;;

The finger print scanner has been working fine for me, but it does seem to be a tad sensitive.

My advice would be to swipe your finger or thumb in a manner similar to how you might do it without thinking when you are registering your fingerprint, if that makes sense?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] KarimSalloum:
I've registered the same finger in all three (total 6) slots. Make sure to swipe in every direction possible and all parts of your finger. you have 60 strokes to do so.

Also, when you're unlocking the phone you need to start from the display and find the right speed of swiping. you'll get better with practice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bill.millett:
Thanks for this tidbit.

I started over using the same finger (my thumb) and swiped up and down and sideways. It's a way more convenient and natural motion now and seems pretty consistently good. The "side swipe", which is more of a thumb coming down across the scanner on an angle, seems to be my go to and doesn't require changing how I hold the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] imfaraz:
Works Perfectly For Me

So far it works perfectly for me i have been using fingerprint lock from day one and never had any trouble
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ce:
I've setup my fingerprints the way KarimSalloum advised but after a few days I've switched off the fingerprintscanner to unlock my device. The recognition rate dropped to an irritating level. Sometimes I had to swipe once but most of the time it took 2 to 5 swipes, up to using the code, to unlock.
