[QUOTE=nutcake;44614882]Thank you guys for the useful tips regarding screen protectors! Just applied it and it's almost perfect, there is just a tiny piece of dirt in the bottom corner but I can ignore that. Or is it possible to lift it up without getting dirt under it and removing that shit?[/QUOTE] Get some tape and put it on that corner of the screen protector, then get some more tape. Lift the tape on the corner to peel back the small portion where the dust is and use the other tape to remove the dust or dirt.

[QUOTE=nutcake;44614882]Thank you guys for the useful tips regarding screen protectors! Just applied it and it's almost perfect, there is just a tiny piece of dirt in the bottom corner but I can ignore that. Or is it possible to lift it up without getting dirt under it and removing that shit?[/QUOTE] If it's a regular screen protector, not a glass one, you might have luck by trying to gently peel it off and using scotch tape to remove the dirt bit. I've seen protectors where the same type of scotch tape left a mark, and some where it just removed the dirt and the protector was then perfect. So your results may vary.
I have a glass one coming in the mail, I wonder how good or bad it is and how much of a pain in the ass to install..
Hey new phone question incoming So my iPhone's LCD screen suddenly decided to break (not even the glass, I seriously have no idea how it happened) and I'm strongly considering switching over to Android if my warranty doesn't cover the screen. My girlfriend's got a Galaxy S4 and it's incredibly slick, so I've been leaning towards that model, but I've heard rumors about the Galaxy S5 being on the horizon so I figure I'd be better off waiting. Problem is I can't really go without a phone for that long, and given there's no release date announced I have no idea if I can wait or not. So a few specific questions: 1. Would it be worth getting a Galaxy S4 with the Galaxy S5 so close to release? 2. Is there any chance that Verizon would offer me a cheap upgrade to a Galaxy S5 if I get an S4 now? 3. Are there any other Android phones in the same class that you could recommend?
[QUOTE=garychencool;44614504]I'm gonna use that notification icon thing I used earlier, the Nexus percentage thing on the battery icon isn't very visible. Like who's idea was it to make the percent digits white on a white background.[/QUOTE] They're white on a white background till it gets below 75%. I'd rather hide it till it was less 75% than have it on all the time.

What they would do is make the s4 cheaper to get since the s5 is coming out. The s5 has a handful of features that the s4 doesn't have so you're really better off either getting the s4 and having matching phones with your girlfriend or yet the s5 whenever it comes out. Don't bother getting the s4 and then upgrading, it's not really worth it.

I can't get [URL="http://depthy.stamina.pl/"]Depthy[/URL] to work. It extracted the images but it won't give me a parallax view. Anyone tried it?
Thanks
[QUOTE=Protocol7;44613772]I'd say use scotch tape instead of duct tape, but otherwise I've used that method with reasonable success as well.[/QUOTE] Thats what the shop I bought my phone and tablet at did whent they put a screen protector on the tablet.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;44616253]if you plan on doing photography or filming with the m7 you will hate yourself[/QUOTE] How bad is it? No matter how bad it is, I suppose getting it means I can get a 3DS XL instead :dance: THE HYPE IS REAL

Google camera also crashes if I even attempt to enter the settings.
