[Galaxy Tab S General] sweetandsoursauce:
I was able to make scratch marks that were apparent in the bronze and the scratches were easily visible if you were to take a real close look at it. If my nails can make a scratch mark out of it, i'd best be putting a screen protector on the back too : )
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Must have sharper nails than me then, just tried again and nothing!

EDIT: ok just managed to make a tiny mark, but i had to dig hard!
[Galaxy Tab S General] sweetandsoursauce:
hahaa yup, and what case do you have for yours? OEM? and are you using a stylus by any chance?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I use the genuine samsung simple cover, but i have seen a book cover which is remarkably like the samsung one for way less.

[Galaxy Tab S General] ThE_SoUrCe:
I beg to differ about using glass screen will make it look crap, im using a brando rounded edges tempered glass and it adds to the beauty, now it looks like a giant note for with glass screen tapered smoothly through the side. And i forgot it's even there. It would be easy/cheaper to replace a tempered glass rather than the whole digitizer when you got it scratched.

Also using a smart cover free from sammy when i bought minde. Serves its purpose.

On aother note, be carefull on thr faux metallic bronze side. It's so soft that a little bump with an edged object will leave its mark.
[Galaxy Tab S General] sweetandsoursauce:
Thank god I thought I was the only person going crazy here because I definitely felt as if the titanium bronze's back cover was easy to make a mark on it(be it from scratch, smudge, etc). But I'm one of those fanatics where I need to first get a protector on the tablet before I even begin to use it haha. I've been seeing a lot of 'tempered glass screen protectors' than before, is it the best type of protector out there atm? Is it like in between glass and plastic? I've also had plastic screen protector or skin protector as some would call it, on my phone and have had no issues, no corner peels or as much finger prints to none, clear and see through but I do want to keep up to date of the current protection of phones/tablets. What are some benefits of the tempered glass protector have? All I really care about really are the smudges like finger prints, corner peels, no dust, no bubbles, scratch resistant of course and most importantly clear/see through.
[Galaxy Tab S General] cbb77:
I am the same way. I always have a screen protector ready for when I get a new phone or tablet. I like to keep my electronics in good shape. Have switched to the tempered screen protectors a while back and can definitely say it is well worth it. I use to alway buy square trade warranty for my phones but have stopped since using the tempered screen protectors. The screen is really the most valuable piece to protect. I can attest that the tempered glass really works. Both of my daughters have dropped their phones and the tempered screen protector shattered but the screen on the phone did not. Thus well worth the investment. A normal screen protector would have done nothing to absorb the impact. Anyway, I highly recommend them. Also, check reviews and different brands on Amazon. You don't have to spend an arm an a leg on these. I paid $8 for iCarez for my G3 and girls iPhones. Just as good as Zagg which people pay $40 - 50 dollars for. As far as the Galaxy tab S, I also added one due to the size of the tablet. I am not using a case since I have the matching keyboard. I have not had a tablet this large before so was definitely concerned about dropping it. Picked up the Skinomi tempered glass. A bit more at $23 but quite a bit larger screen as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] sweetandsoursauce:
Yeah, I was thinking of getting a tempered glass protector from Skinomi because of their life time replacement warranty : )

I made another thread discussing about the skin protections of Skinomi for the back covers.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/accessories/skinomi-skin-protector-carbon-fiber-t3019907

Carbon fiber, Wood and Brushed... but unfortunately no reviews anywhere
[Galaxy Tab S General] cbb77:
I also picked up their clear back skin. Just got so can't comment on it yet. Again, this is the clear back. As mentioned, I have the matching keyboard so I am using this without a case on. I wanted to make sure the back at least had something on to prevent from potential scratches and dings. Not as good as standard case, but better than nothing at all.
[Galaxy Tab S General] sweetandsoursauce:
Clear skin would be a good idea but I don't know if it has grid-like pattern that allows air bubbles to escape just like the wood/brushed/carbon skins have. But yeah, I guess i'll be the guinea pig to test it out, still debating carbon fiber/brushed. I'll write a review and show pics of it when I order it and have everything set up ready
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Didn't know there are hardware differences between the two. I got myself a white Tab S because that's what was on sale at the moment. I'd buy it in any color other than pink.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kureel:
Hi,

My GT-I9195 sourced from Europe as an airline rewards item. Fortunately, was travelling to UK and took advantage of advice from documentation and confirmed with Samsung in UK that as long as phone used in Europe for 5 mins of calls, it would accept new SIM from provider in Australia without problem ie it would have unlocked itself from Europe zone. (on return to Australia, phone still receiving messages from Vodaphone in UK with original 1 month only expired SIM.) Before getting and installing new SIM, I set a PIN, didn't use phone for a month and committed worst sin of forgetting PIN. So I have two options I think.

1) Do factory reset and then cope with region reset since I am assuming phone will revert to Europe only. Not worried about losing data.

2) Clear PIN using one of methods available on XDA such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397797 but this will work with debug mode only. In order to set debug mode need access to settings which is not possible with phone PIN locked. So catch 22.

Would appreciate any advice with this. Would value simplest solution since although I am PC competent, phones are a whole new area for me. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pkley:
I have a weird problem that I can't figure out. At random times my notification volume will go from about 25% to 75%. I do have MyProfiles running but it's not set to change any notification volume except at 10pm it turns notifications all the way down (silent) and then turns them back on to about 25% at 7am. I'd suspect that but it happens randomly throughout the day when it SHOULDN'T be doing anything. I say shouldn't, it's possible it's doing something but none of my profiles in that app have the notification volume doing anything more than about 25%.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
Since you do have some kind app that manipulates the sound levels automatically, i would uninstall the app to test. Does this same notification volume issue happen when that program is uninstalled? if it doesnt then reinstall the app, does the issue come back?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Omega Entity:
Noob here! Apologies if there's already a thread about this, but I've scoured the internet since Boost has been extremely crappy about not letting me use a phone for which I paid full-price. They wouldn't give me an unlock code when I talked to them on the phones earlier, so I sent out a support ticket although I have little hope anything will result from it. So my question to all of you is, am I going to have to bite the bullet and just go to one of those pay sites, or doesn't someone know of a workaround?

I'm generally proficient with computers and electronics, so if it's moderately complicated I should be able to manage.

Than. You can buy a unlock code on a website or you can ask it by your provider
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Omega Entity:
My provider refused to give it to me, and every pay site I've tried hasn't been able to do it.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zroice:
Hey folks,

I still have 4.3 installed on my note 3 and since its really starting to get a lil old, I was wondering if its finally worth upgrading?

I mean I customized this thing so hard with hand selected debloating of 99% of the system apps that are just spyware/crapware to me, including all google apps except playstore and the required additional apks. Also using xposed to tweak everything to my needs like custom button configs and visual tweaks etc pp..

From what I've seen and read so far things got more difficult in Kitkat than before. Like Apps not beeing able to fully use SD-Card or problems with root etc.. so is there anything really positive that Kitkat or Lollipop added?

Either the stock versions or aosp based?

Would be cool to hear some opinions.

And what about performance? On my 4.3 Rom with custom kernel @ 2225mhz i get like 35-37k antutu score as well. How are your guys' scores nowadays with recent roms and similar clock?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Lol if I could I would downgrade to 4.3. Although Kitkat is okay but the experience varies and I prefer jellybean.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Takinato:
If I could go back to jellybean I would also
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Muthumbi:
Roll back to jellybean

I have been all the way upto 5.0 but I ended up rolling back to 4.3.

You can roll back to 4.3 without tripping knox. You might get invalid IMEI due to unknown baseband once you downgrade, but flashing the modem file in the 4.4 ROM for your region solves that.

Simply put, I am okay with 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Still on the JellyBean 4.3 (X-Note 7) - what am I missing out? Update recomme...

Can I downgrade to 4.3 on my N9005? Or has anyone did that on N9005?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hockeyfan:
I'm still on JB 4.3 as well. Reading about the issues with KK (SD card, removal of text reflow from webkit, battery drain, etc.), and Lollipop (white menu screens, battery drain again), even though many (all?) of these can be remedied with root, doesn't make me want to really upgrade. Maybe when the Note 5 comes out, I'll switch devices and use the newer versions of Android, but for now, all of my apps work just fine on JB and battery life is very good, so why bother upgrading? ART would be the only reason I'd be interested in upgrading to Lollipop, but the battery-killing white menus are a major turnoff. If these can be skinned to dark colors, then I'd consider it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WhateverMan2:
Are you using N900 or N9005? Can you specify the steps you took to downgrade? Thanks!

I don't know it's a hardware problem or software but it was happened after going to KitKat. I have also a Note 3 which was upgraded to KitKat but it doesn't have random reboot, don't know why :( Official Lollipop is only hope now for my wife 's phone.

cannot unlock bootloader

I've tried again and again on two different Xooms running 4.1.2 both are WingRay. I connect the cable, then type:

adb reboot bootloader and then Xoom reboots, and comes up to "Starting Fastboot protocol support"

fastboot oem unlock at this command, my terminal say's "waiting for connection" and it never get's one??

fastboot reboot never get the chance to enter this one, because the xoom is still "waiting"

I then Ctrl C to teminal and get back to the prompt, and must volume up/power then xoom to get it out of the "fastboot" screen.

Tonight I went to the Motorola official unlock page to get an official "unlock code". Guess what,,,I got the same response from the code they had me enter ( to supposedly get my unlock code). Again it locked up " waiting for the device". I connected, and entered "fastboot oem get_unlock_code", and got a blank, Ctrl C again, to exit .
