That's what that is? Just thought some moron put cutout for notification light in wrong place. I had a cheap $5 one on eBay that was OK but the case I have forced air under the corner and I removed it. I have a nillkin one and 2 different cases coming in the mail so hopefully it works on both of them. I actually like the looks of the amzer one more than the nillkin clear one I bought. But nillkin products should work together right? Anyway these things are pretty dang tough. I am a 250lb man and took a few good walks with my key carabiner to crack it. Oh is there an easy way to cut a screen protector? Say for example I don't care if Asus logo is covered and want to make sure corners don't pull up any bubbles with a case? I have the amzer pudding on the way
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] BobboVilla:
Do you have a diamond ring handy? ;):D.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] sportscrazed2:
No I doubt any of my female friends would want me using their wedding rings on something like that either
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] sandozer:
In answer to is there an easy way to put on a screen protector. . . .

Well dust is the biggest problem, and a way to minimise it, is to do the application in a well lit room and boil a kettle and let it steam freely. This will settle out small dust particles as they attach themselves to the water molecules. (its a charge attraction ).

I use this method always and it works for me.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] sportscrazed2:
I just put it on a newspaper or something. Works out a charm.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Sammaul:
I turn on my shower for a few minutes, then apply. Not too long though, don't want to do it in a fully steamed bathroom :cool:
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] sportscrazed2:
knowing me i'd drop it in the toilet or on the tile floor.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Rolander:
I got a tempered glass from amFilm. Pretty good quality- no interference with the proximity sensor. Minor fingerprints, but not bad. I'd say it's pretty good for the price.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Jamiedena:
I got the Nillkin screen protector, and it's very draggy - it makes it hard to swipe. Are all the tempered glass ones like this? Or would a different brand be better?
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] Trotter516:
I got one by Monoy and I can't tell the feel apart from the actual screen.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] sportscrazed2:
No I had a pthink on my g2 and it was awesome. Wish there were more brands that were well known so it isn't hit and miss. Hope you're wrong about the Nillkin I have one in transit somewhere

I bought this one it is quite good http://www.amazon.co.uk/AceTech-Pre...ceTech+Premium+Quality+Tempered+Glass+0.3mm+S
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] beastofexmoor:
I bought this one as well after seeing this post and just installed it. I too could have done a little better on placement, but the proximity cut out is there and works fine and overall it's great. I may buy another 1-2 as backups considering the price. It did take about 3 weeks to come, which is well within the projected time but slower than other from-china products I've gotten have shipped.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] gsmyth:
I ordered this one the other week for my father, he just got the 32GB/2GB version, very nice device. The screen protector has the cut out for the proximity sensor also and has nice rounded off edges. Easy enough to install and gives some peace of mind when it comes to drops, as it can save your actual screen underneath.

[ZenFone 2 Accessories] stefanthehuman:
Hey, just a question. if I got tempered glass that covers the proximity sensors are they not going to work?:confused:
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] gsmyth:
I think people reported having issues with ones that covered it, so probably best to go for one that has a cut out.
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] stefanthehuman:
Great, thanks for the information. I appreciate it! :)
[ZenFone 2 Accessories] pyroshroom:
So I also bought the also bought the very cheap $1.86 tempered glass screen protector from eBay.

As others have said, the cutouts for the camera and proximity sensor were in the right spot, and the application was quick and easy with practically no air bubbles since the protector came with wipes and made of glass.

However, the protector is relatively thick, and the protector is very close to the edges of the phone width-wise, so my previous TPU case that fit the phone quite tightly (Looks a lot like a generic version of the Amzer Pudding TPU Case) would lift the glass protector off the screen when I pressed the top and sides of the phone. The looser fitting S-Line wave case does not have that problem and works perfectly with the phone now. (I'd post links to all the cases, which were from eBay, but I can't post links till I get 10 posts)

Just bought my zenfone. i have this screen protector for it because it has more than triple or quad reviews than any other zenfone 2 screen protector with a 4/5 stars with 354 reviews.

mainly bought it because of a couple features including High-respond touch sensitivity, oleophobic coating, and the cutout for the sensor

10/10 would recommend :good:

Can someone clarify if the camera with these protections still working in perfect condition?

Thanks!!

Camera works perfectly hardware speaking. But that doesn't mean the image sharpness is the same visually. Generally, not a very distinct difference and the image won't be blurred even though the camera has to capture the image through the protector..

I just received this PLESON tempered glass screen protector and it's working really well. It installed in just under 5 minutes, with me taking a long time to position it just right. The coating isn't as slick as the phone's screen, but it is close. It cleans off very easily, and the 2D edge makes it feel like it's part of the phone.

Overall I'm really pleased with it, and would buy it again if I ever need one.

I love me some Lollipop but it was way to quiet!!!

I modded the stock files from latest LOLLIPOP update. I was tiered of waiting for someone else to do it. So, I figured I would share.

This will only work if...

1. You have root on Verizon S4 with Lollipop

2. You have [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]- Flashfire app installed so you can flash this zip file.

I have included stock sound files if you want to go back..

Flashable Volume boost (not to loud)

Flashable Revert to Stock Volume levels

Galaxy S4 VZW Only. Have not tested on any other devices.

To Flash:

1. Open the FlashFire app and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

2. Press (+) twice to bring up the “Actions” menu.

3. Select “Flash ZIP or OTA” then locate and select the sound-boost-lp.zip. Make certain that “Auto-mount” is unchecked then press the checkmark to continue.

4. Press the lightning bolt then “ok” to begin the flashes. The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. Once complete your device will reboot. Done!

Not responsible for you if you flash on something other than what I built this for. And if you do flash it on said device,then I am still not responsible as this is all a risk..

Before flashing any mods you should always make a backup!

------------------------------------------------------------

FIRST

Sorry if this is a bit convoluted, I am not an android developer, I don't really have much expertise in this.

TWRP

The problem with this TWRP is it sets your ro.product.device to x8-h instead of NEO-X8 which breaks the "OTA" update feature. I don't really care about OTA, so this makes little difference to me.

I got TWRP here: http://www.minixforum.com/threads/twrp-recovery-for-neo-x8-h.1267/

I mirrored the zip file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606011

There's a couple ways to install it, I did:

adb push TWRP_X8-h.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot recovery

Install update from ADB

adb sideload TWRP_X8-h.zip

UPDATES

These are pulled from OTA and modified to work with TWRP. I did not include any additional stuff, I figure if you're using TWRP already you probably know more than the average user and can setup your device however you want.

Get both of these...

KOT49H.20150428: This update is the 004 update.

Notes: This is a full system update, I wiped my system before installing it.

Release Page: http://www.minixforum.com/forums/x8-x8-plus-x8-h-official-firmware-004.123/

update.KOT49H.20150428.TWRP.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606046

KOT49H.20150507: This update is the 005 update.

Notes: This update will revert your recovery back to their stock recovery, because reasons. You'll have to reflash TWRP afterwards if you want to continue using it.

Release Page: http://www.minixforum.com/forums/x8-x8-plus-x8-h-official-firmware-005.125/

update.KOT49H.20150507.TWRP.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952606012

Installation:

Boot into recovery.

Back-Up your device.

Wipe your device, I did it, you can try not doing it, not sure what will happen.

Install updates the update.KOT49H.20150428.TWRP.zip first then add the update.KOT49H.20150507.TWRP.zip

After both install it will "upgrade" your recovery to stock. You may reapply the TWRP_X8-h.zip update here if you would like.

After you're done with that TWRP will ask you if you would like to root, I recommend yes.

Reboot

???

Profit!
