Privacy screen

Sorry if this is a re-post, search is acting funny, anyone have any of the privacy screens? Which ones allow the 4 buttons to work properly? I need to keep my gf from looking over my shoulder when I'm texting.

i'm interested in trying the clarivue one tho.

I read about one on amazon thats too thick for buttons to work, the screens so big people can probably see it from the other side of the room

Wow, bunch of dr phils, and y'all don't even know me, 3 years deep and I haven't done anything to violate her trust, I just don't like anyone in my business. But y'all are the xda relationship team, so I guess if I don't want her looking at what I text I'm obviously wrong. Y'all must be girls too.

Haha no nerves of steel, just didn't like how they turned a joke within a legitimate question into something completely off topic, I don't need girl advice, just privacy screen advice. Read the title of the post.

If you want replies to focus on the subject at hand, then don't invite unwanted commentary by including unnecessary details or "jokes". As for your question, I've never tested any privacy screens myself, but you can check out 3M's version at shop3m.com/98044049512.html. Also, you can always trim the privacy screen so that it leaves the capacitative buttons uncovered.

Wow, I really didn't see in the rules where it said no jokes, sorry for having a sense of humor, but alreast you gave an on topic answer, but ill be sure in the future to alreast let people know in the title that my post may contain jokes.

[Q] How to remove the crappy lockscreen?

So. I got my 5th android telephone now, Galaxy S2, and i absolutely love it. I have ofcourse, rooted the phone and removed most of the crappy samsung apps as most of them just seem to drain battery.
Its almost the perfect phone for me now. There is however one thing that remains and endless anoyance for me. Was the same with S1.
How on earth do you remove that redicilous lockscreen? Or change it to something else? I dont mean changing the lockscreen picture. Just replacing it with some other lock screen. Like the one that comes with HTC Desire and so on.
Just to be clear. I know how to turn lockscreen of. But i want to CHANGE it. I hate the swipething.

5th Android phone and you haven't heard of Market?.. Widgetlocker or who knows how many other options? Maybe post questions in the Q&A section also.

You can try "widget locker" from Market and there is also an app "Agile Lock" that makes the same Lockscreen as its in Sense 3.0 (with the Ring and shortcuts).

Didnt know there were lockscreens on the market as i asumed you had to tamper with som root settings or something! And i never bothered to look for them on most of my phones as i were happy with them as they were... So sorry for asking you sour tard @nobnut !!
Thank for your suggestions stein81! ) As i browsed through your suggestion i actually found one i liked better!

Don't usually jump in these, especially when I'm new to the samsung side of xda but I think your the one being a sour tard... Your the one posting questions in the themes and apps section and when he provided you an answer you insult him... smh go investigate the market and while your at it learn how to search.

Widget locker and Agile lock(currently using) are the best alternatives to stock lockscreen. But if you like to read your facebook n rss feeds then you might want tui try out the Flyscreen which is also free. There are other apprentices as well. But these are the best ones to my concern.

You forgot to one star widget and live wallpaper downloads cause you couldnt find them in the app drawer.
Haha also one star and a rude vulgar comments cause you couldn't get a refund on a 99¢ download hours after downloading.
Loved you called your evo3d a "droid" too, that about as noob as noob can get.

So sad but so true... I hate the whats the best rom for my phone and my all time favorite do I need to wipe cache... Like that procedure is shorter than you pulling up the webpage and typing it in.... **smdh** Nice vid...lol

I laughed at the video, but I pray that I am not one of those people when I delve into rooting and modding.

Congratulations
You win the Internet for the day! Great job, I personally could not be more proud!

Thanks qb! My wife thought I'd lost my mind! Then she asked what is a noob?? I said go look in the mirror... but for real... noone take offense, but I get these questions all day long... I try to answer because I was there once... but I'm laughing on the inside... but hey you never no until you ask... right???

freaken hilarious! except you forgot to put the one about "why doesn't my phone work? I flashed the ics rom from the international galaxy s2. isn't it the same phone?" awesome work tho!

"How to jailbreak your droid" should be the title of your next how to root video.

i could not stop laughing!! nice

well, they're both on sprint... DOWNLOAD!

A cool trick I stumbled upon.

While browsing in internet and different forums for our phones I stumbled across this video.
I looked through threads here and didn't find it:

I found it cool and useful so I decided to share it with you guys.
I didn't know where to post it so I put it in general section.

Holy crap, I wish I had known about this a few months ago. Great find!

I did search in forum and didn't find it. May be I used wrong key words for search.
At least few of us didn't know about it till now. Some good came out of this post.

Another tip. When you are in your log you can hold and slide to the right to call someone and to the left to text them. This saves a couple clicks and is pretty cool. I believe you can also call from the texting app by sliding to tthe right too.

This and the slide to call or text from log or messaging are the 2 biggest things I wish were in CM7 and CM9. I use both features all day, every day. Gotta give Sammy some credit there.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I liked this feature so much when I had an Epic 4G that I wrote code for Cyanogenmod 7 to implement it there.
To all those that complained about Op posting his find, please try to remember when you were a nooB. It's not like this feature is posted on a Wiki or anything for everyone to browse.
-Daryel

Old Epic had it too.
Thanx for this tip though,because its little different than it was on old epic.I tried it on my new epic touch and it didnt work,i thought why would samsung take away such useful feature?But they didnt-they just made it different.
On old epic you could just slide your finger across top bar.But on epic touch you have to hold your finger on top bar for about a second before sliding.Its a little harder than it was before but prevents acidental setting.

Any chance that could be updated for the E4GT? If so I wouldn't think twice about making a permanent change to CM.

Siri Story

For the record, I'm anti-Apple. With that said, I'll tell my story.
So I don't remember how we got on the topic, but a friend and I at work were talking about time-zones the other day. I think we were joking about getting rid of it or something and about how dark it would be at certain times of the day, yadda yadda... Just BS'ing basically... Well at some point during this pointless discussion the question came up: "What time is it in Hawaii?"
Well this friend at work has an iPhone, he's always bragging about it and "how much better it is" and we always have our friendly bashing on each other. Well he's like "here, let me ask someone who knows" and asks his iPhone "What time is it in Hawaii"
I'm waiting and listening... Nothing.
He's looking at his precious iPhone and eventually goes "Oh this happens sometimes, it's bringing up search instead, it must not have understood me, let me do it again."
He says again "What time is it in Hawaii"
I'm sitting there and my smile starts forming, because I still hear nothing and I can see the look on his face.
This is of course when I smoothly and calmly chime in and make a snide remark like "That paperweight doesn't understand you. Here, let me try a real device." I tap the widget and ask my S3: "What time is it in Hawaii?" Within literally 2 seconds, it comes back and the Google Lady robot voice goes "It is currently 5:03 PM in Hawaii" And shows the Time on the screen.
He walked away and didn't talk to me for a while. :laugh:
Just thought I'd share my actual live experience with the whole Siri/Google (Now) comparison.
Google: 1 - iPhone: 0.
