Hey everyone. So I just got my brand new droid turbo and was wondering what brand and type of screen protector you are using and if you recommend it.

I understand the general pros and cons of matte vs glossy, but with the droid turbo having a quadHD display and having the pixels not so close to the top of the screen as other phones (from what I heard) should that affect choosing one over the other?

Thanks for any and all input!

Waiting for zagg glass or zagg invisishield HD... don't get anything else.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rgerrans:
I've been a long time Zagg user, but picked up the Skinomi - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OYX80W4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Put it on last night and pretty happy with how easy it went on and the fact it fit pretty much edge to edge (a little shy on the bottom but since I'm using the Tech21 case from Verizon pretty unnoticable. A lot cheaper than the Zagg but quality seems on par. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Mikey503:
The skinomi looks like a quality product. How is the 'drag' when sliding your finger across the screen compared to zagg?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rgerrans:
Non-existent. Comparable to a Zagg HD screen, no orange peel feel on the Skinomi. I think I'm noticing a little more finger oil left behind on the Skinomi vs. the Zagg but not enough to be noticeable and not 100% sure. The screen fit is much better than the Zagg's I put on my wife and son's MotoX's.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Flexia32:
Just ordered one. I'll let you guys know how I like it. I have used every other screen product known to man
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] kenbrownstone:
Just ordered the Skinomi.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] fatasian:
Edit: I echo a later comment about 'dents' in the Skinomi. I imagine it's the same property that allows for self healing, but it's making me crazy. I've ordered

Motorola Droid Turbo (Verizon) XT1254 Tempered Glass Screen Protect... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P8V5J4I/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_RvFGub1RNXY44 and will follow up.

1/7/15 the tempered glass is great. Fits great.

Skinomi has been great so far. I also will note, that once the application fully dried there was no clarity issues (rainbowing) that I've have had in the past with some screen protectors.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] -Michael_:
I'm not having a good experience with the skinomi. Ordered two a week ago for mine and my wife's turbo, they both went on ok, yet mine had some bubbles in the lower left corner, figured it would clear up in a day or two when all the solution dried up. Wrong, instead it peeled up and would not stick back down. Contacted skinomi for a replacement, recieved Monday, today the upper right corner on the new one peeled up... Bummed.

The upper right corner on the new one had the same type of little bubbles the lower left corner had on the previous. I think it's something to do with the adhesive underside..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Mikey503:
I installed skinomi 3 days ago and so far so good. Clarity is solid and the feel of the screen, which is important to me, is smooth . My only problem is that the screen protector gets indents easily, even when I softly press my fingernail against it. I'm not sure if they will work themselves out after a while, but I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker since the product is still doing its job well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rgerrans:
Unfortunately mine are not clearing up and I'm noticing more appearing :( Not really noticeable during regular use, just if I look for them but will have to see what the next few weeks brings...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] dianestory2:
I would advise anyone who is unsure to get an HD Clear screen protector. I've never really liked my husband's anti-glare very much. I think it takes away from the screen quality.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rgerrans:
Skinomi no go

So it started off well enough but what I noticed is that over time it continued to pick up more and more marks in the protector which never healed and now it's starting to peel up on the edges. Time to find another brand or just go naked since they give us one free screen replacement.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] germanmafia88:
Posted in the glass thread but I am pretty satisfied with this so figure I would share....

If anybody is looking for Zagg quality (plastic glossy) screen protectors I will recommend the XtremeGuard wet install. Very easy to install and after 8 hours you will not have any bubbles. I will eventually get a tempered glass version but not right now as it seems the jury is mostly out still. This is a cheap ($1.99) fix. I am super picky on screen protectors and will stand by this guy. It fits exactly edge to edge. Total screen coverage with no overhang.

For reference, I worked at Best Buy (back in the day) and always used Zagg protectors and would say this rivals it for 10% of the price. Definitely worth a try for those feeling adventurous with the wet install. I hate the crappy dry installs..

Linky:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Xtr...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item51c6268089

Now I am just waiting for people on here to recommend a Tempered glass that isn't garbage..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Augman:
Still waiting for that tempered glass as well. I bought an hd screen protector from ebay, which left a bubbly mess... so now that Im waiting for the next brand to come in the mail, I've been going with no screen protector, and it's sooooo much better. I'm just going to have to be super careful not to drop. Not sure that I'll ever be able to use a device with a screen protector again after this.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] germanmafia88:
The 'HD' dry installs are always bubbly messes. I guess that's why they sell them in packs of 6. I will never go back to them regardless if they are a name brand like Xtremeguard.

I really don't like screen protectors in general but use my phone at the gym and don't trust myself. The wet install is a solid protector until a good tempered glass comes out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] avilancaster:
Hm, I've had some fair luck with the dry install ones. As long as you do it properly, most brands are pretty good. my favorites are tech armor and amfilm, personally, although amfilm doesnt have a screen protector for the turbo, seemingly.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Augman:
I got a dry install, and it worked KINDA okay, but not sure that I really like it. I might get used to it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] phojyt:
Glossy VS Matt screen protector Ipad?

I noticed there are two types. For the ipad which is better ( i generally use it at home, sometimes take it outside). Whats the difference and which ones better?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] Augman:
If you take it outside, the anti-glare screen protectors will help with sun rays and glare on your screen, but you DO lose some quality of the image. HD will just be a clear piece of plastic that protects the screen, but fingerprints and glare are a bit more of an issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] avilancaster:
Good to know! Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] wadamean:
But the downside of the matte screen protector is that with time of use it wears out and the middle of screen is now then clear for the matte coating has worn off
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] tayluft:
I'm going screen-protector-less. I feel safe.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] avilancaster:
At least they are not that expensive, and they are easily replaceable.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] tayluft:
Very true. Most of them are about $5-10 to buy a new one. Or just get one with a lifetime warranty.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rianneves:

I send an email to them about their bumper and screen protector for moto maxx but they said that they need at least one hundred requests... it would not be good ? https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-rhinoshield-bumper-and-the-iphone-i-could-not-111444363399.html

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sNiXx1:
Hey everyone

Having read many threads on this issue I would appreciate help for my specific case. I got a defective device from a friend that wouldn't start anymore (introductory Samsung animation was playing repeatedly). I then tried to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" to eventually install CM 10.1.3 and then factory reset to make sure the brick bug is not an issue. However, I was not able to flash CWM, because it gets stuck at "NAND Write Start" and eventually fails (see below). Interestingly, I flashed another i9100 flawlessly only a few days ago with the exact same setting. Nonetheless I tried different Odin versions as well as different usb ports and cables.

I have no idea what kind of kernel or android version was running on the device and I can now only get into download mode.

When reading this guide I came across two problems. First, flashing a kernel - some other thread recommended "Siyah-s2-v5.0.1" - was unsuccessful. Second, I wasn't sure if I should try to flash the ICS version mentioned in this thread.

Some mentioned falling back to flashing PIT-files, but because recovery mode is not available, I cannot use the "emmc partition scanner" to identify the correct PIT-file to flash.

I would really like to save this device, so someone else may enjoy using it again in the future. Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vinman07a:
I really want to install cyanogenmod on my galaxy s3, which already runs kitkat, how would I be able to do this. Everything I have read says that i will brick my phone:eek:!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
On XDA, there is no exploit that exists that will allow anyone using a Verizon S3 to use AOSP. The only existing route is to use a service such as MobileTechVideos and pay $50 for them to downgrade your bootloader at which point you can unlock the bootloader and eventually run AOSP.

Alternatively, but a different phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwenni:
Hi there.

I've been running Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 Special Edition for a year now, but I still run low on internal memory and it gets worse every day (10 mb max after some cache cleaning). There's just no way that 1.5 gb of ext4 memory is all used by the few apps i've still got installed on my phone. Isnt this Rom supposed to move the apps automatically to the SD card, allowing for an endless number of apps to be installed ?

Whats going on? any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
OK try this use titanium backup and press menu and move app data to SD see if that helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
[MENTION=5003969]mrwenni[/MENTION]

No, to solve memory issues, the logical thing is to understand HOW it is used used in the first place....don't just move things without knowing what the consequences are...

Moving app data as advised above is a last resort. It can slow down those apps significantly.

Install an app like DiskUsage.

Enable root and browse to your sd-ext partition. Also browse your /data partition, if you have stock hboot it will be 147MB total size.

Your /data partition filling up is giving you the low memory warnings.

Most a2sd scripts move apps to the sd-ext partition automatically without need for 'move to sd', keep them on internal trick to sd-ext.

You can gain more space by moving the dalvik cache to sd-ext as well, which often requires flashing additional script. Use DiskUsage to work out if it's on /data or already on sd-ext.

No a2sd script will give you unlimited space. There is always a finite number of apps you can install. Even after investigating you may simply have too many
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
Could be Facebook if u got it but use that disk usage to see if the ext partition us full or not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
You on stock hboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwenni:
Thanks for the reply's.

Allright lets see what DiskUsage says... (had to kick Rockplayer and Dolphin for this :))

/data (147 mb):

View attachment 3011936

/sd-ext (1,5 Gb):

View attachment 3011937

app_s contains mostly HTC stuff. app contains some of my installed applications (as does /data/data). I remember moving soms apps manually to sd, but that didnt do much.

Looks like /data is full indeed and the Ext4 partition in underused. And still I have only a few basic apps installed (Whatsapp, K-9, Rockplayer, Flash, A small bubble game,...)....

I'm rooted and S-OFF. hboot is 0.93.0001. I used the Unrevoked method if I remember correctly and I have a 4ext Touch Recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
Looks like you have enough left but have you got stock hboot?

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Edit: in boot loader does it show alpharev unlocked or something like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
So your sd-ext partition is being used, dalvik is on sd-ext too which is good.

On your /data you have something like com.android.htc.....which takes up 77.9MB! zoom in and see what it contains. If it's a non-critical app you don't need or use, use a file manager to delete it from /data.

However, the biggest problem is that you are still on stock hboot

- Use DiskUsage again, browse your /system partition.

- You should find a lot of free unused space on this partition.

- This is wasted space. You can convert this to extra /data (internal memory) by switching hboot. You are S-OFF so should be easy.

The developer should have recommended cm7r2 hboot. Stock hboot is deliberately wasteful....

So

- Nandroid backup

- Setup adb and fastboot, read the fastboot part

- Flash cm7r2 hboot.img from alpharev.nl, it will say cm7r2 on top of bootloader screen when successful.

- Reboot into 4EXT

- Wipe all partitions except sdcard

- Restore nandroid
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
I just remembered, that wont work coz when u flash that rom, it checks what hboot u have so his nandroid will have saved 220+mb on system for stock hboot and when he restores it there wont be enough room on cm7r2. Like if u flash the rom on cm7r2 hboot, it puts around 135mb on system then the rest on the sd-ext partition. That rom is huge, im sure its about 500mb.

If i was him id change hboots, partition sdcard again using 4ext recovery n just reflash the rom. Have the phone setup nice n fresh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I've never used the ROM. Just in op it said stock or cm7r2 hboot. Guess the aroma installer checks

[MENTION=5003969]mrwenni[/MENTION]

- titanium backup all apps/sms. Backup contacts to Google

- change to cm7r2 hboot as above

- nandroid backup just in case

- full wipe and flash ROM

- restore titanium backup
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
I'm sure you have to do a full wipe before flashing the cm7r2 hboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Nope, just after.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saf98:
Oh ok.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Theres no harm in doing it before its just ul need to do it again after changing it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwenni:
You're right, apparently I'm still on the original stock hboot 0.93.0001

The bootload says - AlphaRev - on top of the screen.

The /system partition looks like this:

View attachment 3013559

Looks like there's room for another 47 Mb of apps :o

/data contains some htc text file apparently:

View attachment 3013560

OK thanks. I'll give the cm7r2 hboot a try this weekend, maybe put another fully working HTC Sense Rom on it (actually kinda like Sense...) and I let you guys know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I think, though not certain you can just delete that history.txt file with a file manager, it will just stupidly build up again over time. Do some research on it before deleting, or make a nandroid just in case.

You also can't just install cm7r2 hboot and then install any other ROM, it must be compatible with the hboot. Check and search the ROM thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwenni:
Hi,

It took a bit longer then expected, but i finally got around to try to flash a new cm7r2 hboot on my HTC Desire using Windows 7.

First I did some extensive hunting for the now unavailable unrevoked usb hboot drivers here. Then I finally managed to install the drivers on Windows 7 using this post. The Windows Device Manager correctly shows Android Phone>Android Bootloader Interface when the phone is in 'hboot usb plug' mode.

So far so good, but when i run 'adb shell' it says 'error: device not found'. 'adb devices' shows an empty list.

'fastboot devices' show a single entry 'HT056PL08208 fastboot'

'fastboot reboot-bootloader' returns 'rebooting into bootloader... Failed' for example

Is there a problem with the driver for Windows 7 (I rooted the phone using my deceased Windows XP computer)?

Should I go ahead, and try to flash the image anyway?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Forgot to check before, you must be S-OFF to change hboots. You mentioned 0.93.0001 before which implies S-ON. After S-OFF (search for and use 'revolutionary' for this) it should say 6.93.0001.

Have a look at top of bootloader screen to confirm whether it says S-ON or S-OFF.

If 'fastboot devices' is working in fastboot mode that means the drivers are at least installed correctly (ADB I believe only works in recovery or booted into the OS). After you achieve S-OFF proceed to flash the hboot as instructed.

If I remember correctly, you can't get Google's updates for the factory install if you're rooted or if the bootloader is unlocked. towelroot doesn't unlock the bootloader. You have to reboot into the bootloader and use fastboot. wugfresh's kit will do it too of you're lazy lol...

Hello everyone. I finally bought the Sony Xperia ZR.

Currently I'm running android 4.3 and I'm having mixed thoughts about updating to android 4.4.4

I know the best way for me to find out which is more suited to my needs is by trying both of them out but I have limited net plan.

So could I have some suggestions. Anything at all.

Which one, in YOUR opinion has better battery life, multitasking, gaming and anything else you can think of.

Thank you :good:
[Sony Xperia ZR] swasha123:
Always update to latest. Don't think about battery and other stuff.

Update version means corrections on past problem with better solution. It's never changing process.

Good luck.

after 4.4.4 update, my phone is overheating very quickly like in 10 mins usage of facebook or whatsapp or youtube

4.3 was better. and because of overheating, the battery life is shortened.
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
For me at least, 4.4.4 is much better, it's a lot more responsive, and doesn't have the battery drain bug that 4.4.2 had. The battery life isn't as good as 4.3, I don't think, but I'm not sure, since I'm running Xposed with a whole bunch of modules, some of which take up a lot of RAM and battery. Still, overall, I think you should update.
