Need an answer about screen protector and rain-X pls

Hey guys.

First off, thank you so much for your help. Here are my questions that I don't see an answer to in the forum:

1) I currently have a screen protector on my G tab. I assume I need to remove the screen protector and then apply rain-X? Then I would also assume I don't put the screen protector back on because it won't adhere?

2) Am I cool to take the protector off ? (if my assumption is correct that rain-X is for the screen and not the screen protector) What about scratching the screen and what not?

3) Will the sky fall if I don't use a screen protector?
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
1) yes the screen protector needs to come off for rain-x to be applied

2) Be very careful taking the screen protector of apparently some variatoes stick very well. - check out the screen protector thread in the accessories sub forum

3) No - touch sensitivity might increase if that has been a problem for you.

Also no good reason not to run without a screen protector - both schools have their merits and de-merits
[G Tablet General] Icedvoco:
I tried this rainx option before, to try and resolve the fingerprints on my screen. Unfortunatly rainx is made to protect a car windscreen from rain by putting a film over the glass to resist the water. Problem is our hands are not putting water on our g tab screens, so the effect of rainx is limited, i didnt bother applying it a second time because i didnt feel that rainx was doing the job. Ive now installed a screen protector, its still to soon to tell if its any better than the rainx.

What we really need is something like rainx that will protect our screens from our skins natural oil.

The other option is to continue to wash your hands to prevent the oil from coming off of your skin and onto the screen.

Maybe a solution here, if they made one for the gtab.

ESD Cover

The gTablet comes with a screen protector preinstalled, it is written on your box under the included items as ESD cover. I found it on another site because someone received there gTablet with bubbles under the cover.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
ONLY the first few tablets ere released with a screen protector. I do not recall what the cutoff date was, but it was pretty early. I got mine at the end of Nov. 2010 and by then Viesonic stopped shipping the screen protector.
[G Tablet General] iammuze:
tried this, it works really well. i dont know that i notice any color effects, but the screen definitely feels nicer and stays cleaner. the fact that it's clean does really help the actual sensitity of the tablet, as well.

thanks!
[G Tablet General] JackAbramoff:
Rain-X convert

Add one to the "tried it and love it" column. Not only did it work great on my GTab, it may have even worked better on my phone (Samsung Moment), and my laptop. I didn't put much of a dent in the bottle though...I'm thinking I may actually try it on my car windows.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
It's been a while since someone commented. To the people who tried this back in january, anyone's gtab exploded or something? I'm about to head out to get some rain-x and capacitive stylus.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
Hmmm... How would they reply if the tablet exploded and maybe took out their fingers?
[G Tablet General] NinetyWt:
^^ Dragon Naturally Speaking? :p

I'm thinking it would be a good idea to apply this right OOTB. Perhaps while it's charging up.

Thoughts?
[G Tablet General] bso44:
I'd also like to know if anyone's noticed any adverse long term effects on the screen's appearance or responsiveness since it's been a few months.
[G Tablet General] notwen:
You'll want the RainX for glass. =]
[G Tablet General] pbrauer:
i seem to be in fine health with no ill effects (also, I am really enjoying the extra finger I seem to have sprouted on my right hand......)
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Does that help or hinder when using multi-touch gestures...?
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
Other than having to re-apply after a bit, no adverse issues, and works great.

sliceit is a multi touch app I use, and definitely works just fine with it.
[G Tablet General] albright:
isn't it difficult to re-apply that extra finger, and how

often does it fall off?

:)
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Youre probably better off using Iklear from Klear Screen. Ive used regular klear screen on my phone and it works just as good. It might not have all the harsh chemicals that Rain-X has.

[G Tablet General] bso44:
Have you tried Rain-X just to compare?
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
@clankfu

I havent tried it yet but i will tonight. I have a bottle at home and a pretty dirty Gtab at the moment. I will report back with the details! :D
[G Tablet General] sleebus.jones:
Did the Gtab last night and it worked so well I did my Epic (OMG GORILLA GLASS) and my wife's also. Great results on all 3. Very cool and cheap improvement!
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
:D actually a few extra hands would be better, but I am making do with the 10 fingers.

Forgot to mention that touch sensitivity actually improves for me after application of the Rain-X.
[G Tablet General] wkirkpa:
something else to try....

Teflon is oleophobic... So, I had a bottle of Tilelab SurfaceGard laying around. OK, mad scientist in me goes nuts.

I rub the stuff on the screen for a minute, then wipe excess liquid off with a micro fiber towel. The stuff clearly coated, as I was able to rub it off right after application. But, once I let it cure for half an hour it fixed itself to the glass.

Now, with a light touch, no fingerprints at all. When I touch hard enough, I'll leave prints but they can be wiped clean with a pass or two of my shirt sleeve. Been on there two weeks now, and seems to be holding up.

Clearly improved things compared to out of the box.

Nothing, I think, will be perfect. If you touch it, its going to get dirty. But, if I watch how hard I press, I,ve gon all day without leaving a mark.

BTW, volunteer for this experiment was a Galaxy Tab 10.1
[G Tablet General] bso44:
Any chance that stuff is toxic at all? Also, does your finger still glide on the screen pretty well after applying it?
[G Tablet General] Rollcell:
Being using her for at least 3 months. Seem that I need to do this every few weeks with my nieces playing with my Touchpad. It works, thanks
[G Tablet General] wkirkpa:
wouldn't drink the liquid, cured film should be fine.

before it cures, touch is rubbery and will actually rub off. After cure, hard and quite slippery.
[G Tablet General] landude:
Better late then never I guess.

Just did the rainx thing on my gtab and my droid 2.

It's freakin awesome..
[G Tablet General] bso44:
edit

nevermind
[G Tablet General] landude:
Yes, on my gtab and droid 2.

Will be doing the wife's Thrive tonight.

Put two applications on each device, this was a great find...
[G Tablet General] abraham.ramirez:
I have a screen protector on mine, will the rainx have any trouble with it. Its from ghostarmor, look for it online, it very good.
[Galaxy Tab General] kzka:
I just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I was wondering how many hours does it need to charge for the first charge, I want my battery life to last long.
[Galaxy Tab General] so-6:
It depends of its actual charge when you unboxed it. Mine took about an hour to top up to 100%
[Galaxy Tab General] kzka:
Yeah, but doesn't it need to get charged for the first time for a period of 12 hours? or 6? or idk?

Like almost every gadget, for the first charge it needs to charge a lot so the battery life gets fully loaded.
[Galaxy Tab General] MJ_QaT:
If Samsung is anything like Sony Ericsson then you do not need to charge it for 12 hours or so. Since it's already charged and ready to be used
[Epic 4G General] jonboy75074:
Hi, I'm new to this, so bare with me....I traded a phone for an epic 4g. The people at the sprint store told me that the phone was rooted. They tried to download the original software or what not, but it got to closing time, so they said the guy I got the phone from would have to change it back... well I can't get ahold of him now, so I'm kinda screwed I guess? It is running syndicate rom, and I would like to unroot the phone if possible. I really don't know a lot about this, so any advice would be helpfull. II

I traded a guy for an epic, and after bein at the sprint store for 2 hours, it was time for them to close, so they hooked the phone up to my account and told me to get the guy I got it from to unroot it, but now can't get ahold of him. It is running syndicate rom, and I would like to go back to the original sprint software. I really don't know a lot about this stuff so pleeeeeeease help. Thanks

I can't compare it to the epic but I can compare it to the vibrant which was notorious for poor battery life. I just played NFS shift on my NS for 2 straight hours and my battery level barely moved. That's also with wifi and bt on. So far I'm very impressed with the battery life on this.
[Galaxy Tab General] AkiraX123:
Just a couple questions for you guys before I go and brick my tab..

Is it possible to compile and flash the source code available on opensource dot samsung dot com (sorry, I am unable to post hyperlinks yet) ?

I believe someone had posted a screenshot of a tab awhile back with a message box presented by the dialer reading something to the effect of "unable to open dialer.." . Has anyone seen this screenshot (or perhaps know how to make it appear) ? I'd like to try and find it within the source if possible!
[Galaxy Tab General] AkiraX123:
Sorry all, I think I just answered my own question about the Samsung source - it isn't complete. I'm assuming that's what Clockwork is for..
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
The Samsung source should be the complete source for the kernel, but not the rest of the OS. This is available as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), but bear in mind it is vanilla Android and doesn't include any changes that Samsung will have made for the Tab.

Dave

I want to get it on tmo but are there any rumors on a price drop soon? 299 would be a nice price.
[Galaxy Tab General] ap3604:
T-mobile just did a price drop a week or two ago ($50 drop) to $349 with a 2 year contract.

I would say once a bunch of honeycomb / dual core / 4g tablets get unveiled at CES in a week that the price will drop.

Right now the galaxy tab is the only android tablet game in town so they don't have any incentive to drop the price without any real competition until the new tablets come out at CES.

I agree tho on the $299 contract price being a sweet deal and exactly what I'm waiting for as well :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Lucky_Charms:
I got my tab on black friday. I saw an ad online for t-mobile's BOGO deal. For those who can't figure it out, it stands for "buy one get one" free. According to the ad, the tab was listed as one of the eligible devices so I called up the closest corporate store and asked if the had any in stock. They told me they had 8 in stock so I told the guy to set aside 2 and I would head on down and go with the BOGO deal. He told me the tab wasn't eligible for that deal but I pointed out that the ad said it was. He then stated that they just completed some recent product training and was positive that the tab was not eligible for BOGO. Again, I said then why does your ad state that it does. With that he put me on hold for a few minutes and when he came back he said to just come on down and we'll honor the ad. So I did and I walked out of the store an hour later with 2 tabs for 400 bucks. No sales tax either because I bought it in New Hampshire. I haven't re-examined that ad since I picked up my tab, but perhaps I read it wrong. Either way I got two tabs for the price of one. It was a deal I couldn't pass up.

[XPERIA X10 General] truongxlong:
what do you mean? i been reading around and i found tha x10a has a different radio then x10i and it wont run tmobile 3g network unless i get x10i so thats the reason for the switch. and even if i debrand and flash x10i the radio wont change. that's what i read sorry i'm sort of new to the android thing.
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
He just want a X10i for the 3G option, because the X10a is not compatible with t-mobile 3G
[XPERIA X10 General] kbken62:
That is my understanding in just the opposite for AT&T. I have an open/unlocked X10i I purchased in Singapore and when I use it on AT&T I can't get 3g. I think I need an X10a.

The problem is that I travel to Asia alot and it works fine there with 3g and local SIMs.

I'm looking at rerooting, but not sure if it will make a difference and work on AT&T w/3G
[XPERIA X10 General] rodolfo7171:
i think you might just be better of with the x10a. both the x10i and a have the 2100 band which is what asia uses mostly. and the x10a has 850/1900 which is what AT&T uses
[XPERIA X10 General] Lancez:
i dont know if you guys are aware of the situation here, your X10a is sim locked to at&t, so unless you can get it unlocked. other wise, the one who traded this phone with you will be stuck with AT&T.
[XPERIA X10 General] rodolfo7171:
not mine. factory unlocked. see i have tmobile and i originally had a x10i and sent it out to get repaired and they sent me a replacement x10a which is of no use to me.
