Obviously... But in what way ?

Unlock and root before you do anything since that wipes the phone.

Don't be that excited.. It's still just an android phone. You may want to buy it a few drinks first to make sure you even get it before you worry about how fast it comes.

Do a factory reset after turning it on, then set it up.

Buy screen protector spigen dual and get a case. Bumpers are most aesthetically pleasing.

Why
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Keep calm and Fastboot oem unlock

Put it in a case
Screen protector (make sure you actually take off the initial protectors before you put a screen protector)
WiFi to set up your Google account
Latex gloves if you don't want to put finger prints on it.
Pepper your angus

First thing to do is unlock bootloader, get a custom recovery and start flashing!

Hug it, kiss it. Spin around with it in slow motion gazing slowly into its screen. Then use it. Use it like life depends on it.

1. Buy a cover. This prevents lens making contact with anything you lay phone down on.
2. Never put mob in pocket with coins, keys or any other hard objects.
3. use your Common sense.

I flashed no scratch last week and although it hasn't removed the old scratches it definitely works in preventing new scratches in conjunction with learning to look after my phone

Its a rom you need to flash with mobile odin, it tries to remove scratches but only the light ones. You need to root first offcourse

There are several "wipe" functions, but I would research them extensively before using any. You might accidently remove scratches from your screen instead of your camera.
On a serious note. DO NOT MESS WITH RECOVERY.

My 8g n7 crapped the bed last night.

My daughter was playing mine craft on it last night when it made white noises (the noise old TV's makes when its on a snow channel) screen went black with random snow flashing on the black screen. I reboot it and the Google splash screen pops up then snow again. I ordered it on opening day and never unlocked it or rooted it (no need IMO). Only device I haven't felt the need to put custom roms or kernels on.... just my opinion.
Has anyone else ever had this happen and who do I contact, obviously Google but what area?

The Tab 7.0 is waterproof. My wife forgot it was in her coat and put it through a 60' wash cycle. Didn't realise it was in there until the 1200 spin cycle kicked in. Managed to rescue it before it was reduced to rubble, stuck it in the dryer for 15 minutes and it worked a treat afterwards.

Screen replacement

Anyone successfully replace their screen? I'm tired of buying screen protectors and would like to replace the screen once I feel the screen is unbearable.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes it is fairly easy, never done anything with taking apart phones before and replaced the screen in about 45 minutes

Assuming you mean hydrogen peroxide...
Did you dilute at all?
a wet fabric does very well the job for mine bumper.
Try toothpaste with a brush. (It has whitening) If it works for my white shoes, it should work for it too.

I got one of my white bumpers a lil cleaner with a magic eraser like the Mr clean ones or any off brand. It was my replica one and I'm just being more careful with my OEM one.

If it`s going yellow, bleach it. (cold water though)
