For sure... i hope they are good...even if they arent... it was only 2.85 hahahaha
These are terrible. They are not properly cut. Avoid.
I got one a while ago (posted in turn Fascinate accessories forum about it). I'm only using the back part for extra grip so far. Yeah, they're not cut the greatest, but it's really not that hard to pull the apart, just might need a tweezers or something. Anyway, for the price, you can't go wrong.

It wasn't bad for 2.85, but like they said, the back only covers the actual back and not the sides. The front was cut great but there was a defect in my front screen and it has lines running down the whole right side of the screen. Other than that it's awesome.
I really like mine, for less than $3.00 you can't go wrong. Read the instructions before you install though.

I bought the Extreme Guard ($5 shipped from Amazon) before seeing this. It works very well. My only complaint is that while it covers the sides/edges they could've done a little better getting the cut-out to get the entire surface (it covers about 98% of the back but there are small gaps on the corners where the phone curves). Overall it was a solid deal as well. I can't comment on the screen protector's quality as I already had another one on that I like and haven't felt like swapping it out yet.
I can't post links yet but you shouldn't have a problem searching for it on Amazon
Fishy...
Anybody else getting the StealthGuards website complaining that cookies are not enabled, and a little how-to guide on enabling them in Internet Explorer?
First of all, Cookies work for me on other websites JUST fine in both Chrome and Firefox. No problems. So it seems like the Stealth Guards website wants me to be using IE. ...Like I said, it feels fishy. Maybe it's just a glitch on the site for tonight.
Regardless, I'm updating my copy of MalwareBytes(.org) and running a scan. Call me paranoid. Whatever. Oh. and they have the price for the Fascinate screen protector listed as "free" right now too.
*edit* it could be just b/c I wasn't logged in yet that it wouldn't allow me to "add to cart" but every legitimate website I've gone to in the past few years has simply asked me to sign-up/sign-in after clicking add to cart.
I saw a couple other forums where people said that the website felt shady as well. I guess I'll stick with my Invisible Shield. It may have cost a lot more, but I've already used the warranty once, and I used it once or twice on my old Cowon S9 player as well.
Hmmm about those cookies
I actually did experience the exact cookie issue your referring too, however it cleared itself up when went to the website directly and did not use the provided link to the item.
The issue occurred in FFox, Chrome and IE8 which is why I got a little suspicious, but as I said as soon as went the web home as it were, the issue was resolved.

mine for my Fascinate was perfect, no different than the Zagg product bought two years ago for my LG enV Touch , which still looks new to this day
Have any of you received yours? I'm about to file a paypal claim. Over 2 weeks since I ordered.
I got mine. It took about a week and a half. It just comes in a regular envelope so make sure you don't throw it out with the junk mail.

Can you take these off and reapply or will that just mess them up?
Mine took around 2 weeks as well, as mentioned it will be in plain white envelope your "not to bad of a Zagg knockoffs" will be incognito appearing as junk mail. Although getting all the bubbles out on the battery cover is difficult (as other brands may be as well) I'm sure they will work out fine.
*side note*
Verizon sales new fascinate battery covers for about 5.00$ free shipping, I ordered 2 with government discount for 8.00 shipped. I'm coating one with spray on rubber insulation like used on grips for tools. To get a good no slip grip. 8.00 at Home Depot in a spray can in flat black.
hello am going to buy a tablet but not sure which 1 to get need some coments
acer iconia a500 or asus transformer thanks
The iPad.
*Iconia DUH*
in what way
1) Iconia is available
2) USB port without buying an expensive keyboard
3) better build quality
4) lots of other bullet points which others can feel free to expand upon
Newegg has the 32gb Transformer in stock. $50 more than the A500, though. If you don't care about the optional $150 keyboard, I think the A500 is better because of the better build and full sized USB port.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure why another thread such as this is needed. However, since you asked, I'd say go with the Acer.....keeping in mind that this is an Iconia forum. The USB port is very handy. The Asus with the dock becomes a net book. So, I'm at a meeting and a coworker hands me a flash drive to upload some files to. With the Acer I just plug it in. With the Asus ill need to get out the dock (net book) and attach to upload the files. I purchased the Iconia to replace my laptop, giving my backpack a smaller, lighter profile. Just my .02

it depends on your demand.
acer ,it has a standard usb port .
asus, has a better screen .
if you need type lots of words ,the keyboard is necessary.
Yay for the 100th thread asking this question!

Agreed even though I screwed mine up when I first rooted & removed stuff I shouldn't of. I've been to busy to fix it & afraid I'll really mess things up. Bottom line, I love this beast. I'm one of those nuts that research things to the point of driving myself crazy. A500 is the best hands down.
.... and if you go to the Transformer section and ask exactly the same question, don't be too surprised to get exactly the opposite answer!
There are pluses and minuses to both tablets - you pays your money and you takes your choice!

Here's a post on reddit where tons of people are having problems with Asus hardware and customer support:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hpvph/asus_transformer_owners_are_you_having_any_issues/
Haven't seen anything like this about Acer users, and there have been something like 1 million Iconia a500 tablets sold.
asus support sucks
There is a Asus repair facility less the 4 miles from where I live.I had a web can issue with a Dee PC netbook. They told me online I could drop it off to be repaired. When I got over there I was standing in there office area looking thru the glass and could see repair areas. They would not accept my email told me I had to mail it to to them by Ups.I paid 14.00 to ship a product 4 miles from my home.then took them 5 weeks tobget it back to me.
Never would I ever buy another Asus product.I called and complained and was told that they would talk to the people at the repair facility.
Lame lame lame
The fact that the OP go to an Acer specific forum and posted the question takes some nerve...

if someone were to visit YOUR house and posed the question of... which is better ? your house or the one down the street ?... what do you think YOUR reaction might be ?

Iconia A500...
coz I tested others... didn't feel anything better in my hand than Iconia...
even my love Samsung GT 10.1.... I felt like OMG it's damn light...going to broke easyliy and what that sluuuuuugggisssshhh honeycomb on it.... really so disapointed.... so sad as well coz the price was quite good just 3000THB for the 16GB model with 3G against my 32Gb Iconia... with USB and tethering my Liquid Metal for 3G... hu
I think it comes down to preference. Screen on the Transformer is what sold me. Also the fact that it's thinner and lighter. Unfortunately, I am aware of the QC issues with it and I'm hoping I get a good one. It's available on Amazon for $399 with no tax and free shipping. There was a -$40 off offer if approved for their Amazon Visa credit card, too. Applied in less than 2 minutes and now I paid $359.00 for it.
If it turns out to have a lot of bad issues, I'll consider the a500. The weight and bulk of it kind of turn me off, however.
If there's one thing I will feel like I'm missing out on, though, it would be that oh-so-handy USB port.
Can the webmaster please delete the search-function of this forum.
It seems there is no more use for it. I must have seen at least 3 topics about iconia vs transformer already...come on people, read the Damn forum rules!

Hi, So Im looking for somewhere that sells springs for the desire z because my hinge is starting to get worn a little bit.
Anyone know where i can get some that ship to Ireland or is there another product I can take them from?
I cant find them anywhere.
Thanks
I have looked for these as well with no luck. I have seen a howto fix that stetched the current springs to fix. But this would have to make them weaker in just doing that.
If have one out and measured might be able to order something like grainger industrial.

Whenever I find a site that posts to me they're always really expemcive with shipping coming in around at 20 euros r so its outrageous. So I really want a good spring because I think tht would make me want to keep my phone for longer

Glad you got the spring Bombadier.
For instructions, the movie is pretty good. I freeze framed it a couple of times but it worked out good.
One advice is to not apply too much pressure when prying the back open. I mean you do, but control it so that you do not "go through" with the tool. I read about somebody that broke through the volume switches.
Also, when you get to the spring, do not take it apart more than you need, I did inadvertently, and then I had to figure out how those hinges are put together...
The spring, as I said is twice long as needed (and then a little bit) so make sure you cut it nicely. Please read my original post. Good luck.

do you guys think it would be worthwhile to make a spacer or is the compressed space all taken up by the spring?
No need, if you don't buy the springs posted into the op of that other thread (forget who the post is by, but it has a link to the springs and a tutorial) for $4 (for three of them) you could probably find then locally for a dollar or so from various hardware store or hobby shops. Making a spacer may just be a lot of work for nothing better than a new spring. Even if you have something lying around that was near perfect it just wouldn't be worth the hassel

problem is im not in the states,and I used to be an Airsoft tech before i went back to college so i know exactly how expensive(and getting quality parts is trouble too) getting the springs are gonna be(after conversion about $20 which is way too much for springs) for the same reason I don't use ebay so if I could send someone trustworthy the money for the parts and shipping I would be most grateful
So you don't live near a major city? I mean if you don't I get it, it may be hard to find the locally. So if you are going to rule out a local online seller too I guess you could make a spacer. You would need to trim the spring down smaller and spacer would need to be a cylinder shape (like the spring) and maybe 6-10mm long. Plastic or metal, or well any other hard material. This against the old spring may help, but may also not do a whole lot.
The only problem with all this is to find the proper material, if you got something lying around that seems close you could widdle it to shape, it just seems like a heck of a lot of work for a try and try again kinda project.

Hi,
My S Pen started to come apart yesterday (the silver end from the main body), then today when i went to pull it out only the silver bit came out and it won't go back together.
I rang Samsung to try and get a replacement under warranty but they said as its an accessory i would have to buy a new one.
Does this sounds right? Surely the S Pen is more than an accessory and should be replaced under warranty as it has broken after 7 days of normal use
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'd return the phone for a replacement from where you bought it
I've got in contact with them. Only thing is i really don't want the hassle of flashing back to a stock rom and then returning it all the way back to Amazon.de and waiting for a replacement.
I had to have a replacement sent in the first place as the first one went 'missing'during delivery
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Wow! That's bad luck!
Mine came apart on the first day after trying to grab it from the back, but after a while managed to put it back together. Takes some time and found slowly twisting it until the button becomes operable works best. But have to line up the indent before twisting...maybe yours still can be saved.

I had a similar issue with the Dell x51v PDA a few years back, within a couple of weeks the stylus broke, so contacted Dell who insisted I would have to buy a new one, and they only sell in sets of 3 at £20 or so. I found on a forum that others had had similar problems and Dell USA had replaced for free, so I called back to Dell support and forwarded them links to those same posts and suddenly the response changed, and I got a free stylus 3-pack sent to me.
They were trying to fob me off with "we quality check every item" and such like, but as I explained to them, their process would never be doing full quality checks on every single, individual stylus manufactured, QA is usually sampled a few per batch or it would massively delay production.
Since it sounds like you are not alone with broke stylus problems, maybe all contact Samsung and reference each other and see if they will play ball and replace them for you

i have the same prob as the OP, but i dont know how to get the main part of the s pen out of the note!
where on earth can i buy a new s-pen? mines the white one too, but i think id settle for black
having trouble finding a replacement anywhere. I see places listing the official s-pen holder which includes a spare s-pen but no one has any stock.
Looks like the s pen is not so good quality. Im sure going to look after mine carefully ;(

I got a toshiba tablet pen a couple of weeks ago, it works a treat and it's nicer to write with a full size pen...
I don't have enough posts here to send a link, but if you search amazon uk for B000FG68FA it should work.
Also, the eraser on the other end of the pen works.
Same same,
White 9220.. and i thought it was because i have a Chinese one lol.....
push the glass and never saw the back of the pen fly that high
Made sure that the position is correct so it still worked on the note.... then lot of 3 second super glue....
now i can relax and push the pen thru my glass
I received my Nexus 10 in the mail today (I thought I would never get off of work!) and when I opened the shipping package I noticed the actual Nexus box with the stickers on it saying "If this seal is broken, do not accept", the seals were in fact, broken. A bit disappointed, I figured since they were already tore I might as well look inside. Everything inside looks completely perfect and doesn't seem to be tampered with at all. As you see in my signature, it hasn't stopped me from using it (and loving it!) but I was just curious to know if anyone else had this happen. The tears aren't clean, and actually look like they could have occurred during shipping (that's what I'm telling myself anyways), but I've kept all the static wrapping on the device for the time being in case an issue comes up I can report the broken seal on arrival...hopefully their support doesn't read this thread. Haha.
