I take the hose of the shop vac to my keyboard, and around the outer edges of the screen and keys every now and then, making sure not to scuff the device, then hit it all with canned air, no problems as of yet.

Im on this thing 24/7, so it see's some major useage, infact half of my keys are missing paint, and one has a chipped edge, from my thumbnails, but no dirt buildup, which I had been expecting, this house is big time dusty around here.

If anyone does use either of these methods for cleaning, I advise to be cautious around the mic and speakers, I imagine direct strong pressures either way arent too good for them, I do blow them out a bit, but I dont hold the canned air straw right up against them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] xternal:
This is pretty tame and i am probably just a retard for not figuring this out early, but i thought id share it with you.

You know the annoying edges of the screen that seem to gather so much crap and are hard to clean? I just started using the little cotton buds you clean your ears with to get to the corners and it works really well. No risk of damaging screen and gets right in under the plastic if you push down softly and twist it. cheap and easy to find too.

Also to clean the keyboard i use a little can of compressed air i got from local electronics shop, works a treat to fix any buttons that are not activating properly.

Just thought id share... :)

Try using a compressed air canister (gently!). I found my wife hidden under my PC's keyboard like that.

[LG Optimus G (International)] vangeodee:
Hi!

My Optimus G has had ghost touches for a month now, I've tried sending it in for repair but the service center says the motherboard is busted (which i doubt) and costs a fortune! it costs the same as a brand new Optimus G.

My suspicions lie in a grounded digitizer cable or a faulty digitizer altogether. I found an online retailer who sells the display/digitizer and I was wondering if I could do the repairs myself.

My Optimus G is a korean variant (F180K) and I was wondering if there's any difference between the hardware layout in the korean variant and the international variant? I haven't found any piece of info that says they're different so I'm not entirely sure but a local service center said that international and korean variants have different hardware, therefore you can't use international parts for korean variants; I was also wondering if that was true.

Any info would really help. I've tried everything software side but to no avail, the ghost touch problem is hardware related.

[Java for Android App Development] TakisBeskos:
I want to make an activity to look like the PIN screen . I have a table layout and it looks fine (pic 1), but i want to have as background the wallpaper of the phone.

this code :

WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
Drawable wallpaperDrawable = wallpaperManager.getDrawable();

gets the wallpaper streched.

so the only way to have the right background is to theme that activity using android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar".

But then my layout is lost (pic 2).

Can anyone help me ?
[Java for Android App Development] alphascript:
Don't use a style.

Just set the layout background, of your activity layout xml, to the wallpaper drawable.

I have Locked S6 Edge from Sprint..I want to unlock

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Sprint and it is Locked to their carrier. But Since i will be using it outside USA i was hoping if this method can unlock it and so i can use any other SIM international. Please point me in the right direction.

Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ;)) is an easy way to do it.

If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.

I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.

Hope this helps spme...

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

Is this guy legit? And why cant i do it myself?

Hi guys, i have a note 4 on sprint in a non native coverage area. They have bs'd me about getting 4g since oct. 2013, still nothing. I was looking at ways to unlock domestic gsm to use straight talk with verizon or att since they have good native coverage in my area through straight talk.

I came across this guy that posted a method to domestic unlock a note 4 to use att network. I contacted him and he said he would unlock it for 60 bucks which isnresonable, but a red flag went up when he told me not to have the package signed for or to add insurance. I dont know about mailing my phone half way across the country to someone i dont personally know.

I have rooted and messed with andriods since for years, is there a method that i can follow to do this myself?

Here is the guys video if its allowed:

Quick question and i need a super quick response if at all possible. I just bought a straight talk activation kit for the at&t network. I am about to get my phone unlocked by idoneapps.

My question is when i go to activate my sprint note 4 on att straight talk through the gsm unlock its going to ask for my imei number from my sprint phone, will this affect activation if i give it to them. Also since straight talk is an mvno for sprint as well, will the fact that my sprint account will soon be suspended for non payment cause it to blacklist on straight talks gsm network?

If its a possibility then what options do i have? Thank you in advance for any help
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] droe2001:
Just wanna give everyone a heads up, i just used idone apps remote unlock service and for 50 bucks you cant beat it. I would like to say that i am successfully connected to AT&T's network through Straight talk essentially dropping my bill in half to 45 bucks a month. I get 5gb of hspa+ data. Everything was simple and worked flawless. Only mod needed was a 3rd party mms service. Im using gosms pro but dont think ill stick with it over hangouts due to the constant ads.

Anyway thanks for the suggestion to check him out. Cant be happier, hspa is over 10x faster than sprint 3g.

Who cares if i have unlimited data if it takes 2 minutes to load a webpage.
