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.

lol at keeping it from your girlfriend. but i haven't heard much of any talk about privacy screens.
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.

RANT Rogue / Rouge RANT

I wonder if people realize this:
Rogue = scoundrel, rascal, villain
Rouge = women's cosmetics
It drives me more crazy than it should, I know, but I guess that's my pedantic OCD kicking in. OK rant over. Carry on, haha.

And it's kernel, not kernal! Lol

It bugs me a little bit too, but I see it so often I have to wonder if it's not auto correct from people posting from their phones. I know my phone changes things I type so much it can really be aggrevating, but I read through before I submit and change things back. Just a thought.

XDA posters are infamous in my eyes for really derping up the English language while not givin' a hoot. I've learned to just deal with it.

I second this. I have wanted to say something to people so many times. I understand misspellings when you don't see it but if you are trying to use Rogue recovery then you saw its spelling multiple times in the op of the thread.

[TIPS] Samsung Galaxy S III: 15 Power User Tips

Hello members,
Every once and a while I come across an interesting article that is worth noting such as the article titled "Samsung Galaxy S III: 15 Power User Tips" over at PC World. There were some well not so known tips and great features that were listed in this article that wowed even me about the Samsung Galaxy III. Dont take my word for it, go over there and become informed. If you know of any other tips that were not posted, please do share the wealth.
Some examples are such as :
Save That Screen Retrieved from this article here:
"Take a screenshot. And another. And another. Taking screenshots with the S III is a snap—all you have to do is swipe the screen with your palm. So go ahead, take some more. And some more. And, well, you get the idea.
Other Android phones don't make it quite as easy. If you're using a phone running Android version 4.0 or later, you have to press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time"
Make the Phone a Flashlight
"Stop digging around your bag in the dark, hunting for your keys.
If you have your S III in hand, you've already got a flashlight. The Assistive Light widget—which you can add to your home screen by going to Apps, selecting the Widgets tab, and choosing Assistive Light—turns the camera's flash into a flashlight when you need it most. Some other Android phones have this widget as well.
Want to add the flashlight feature to your Android phone? Check out Tiny Flashlight + LED, available as a free download in Google Play."
Oh yes, here is a great one that I did not know of......
Wake Up in Style
Let's face it: We all have to get out of bed sometime. And what better way to face your day than to be prepared for all it has to offer.
Using the "Briefing" setting on your Galaxy S III's alarm clock, you can have your phone wake you by reading the time, weather and weather forecast, news headlines, and any appointments you may have lined up. To turn this feature on, go to alarm type in the settings menu and change it to briefing.
Not a Galaxy S III owner? Download WakeVoice from Google Play to get some of these features on your Android phone.
Regards,

A lot of those are pretty obvious now that the phone has been out for a while thanks anyways tho.

Uhhh so answering your question is "smart"...forgive my arrogance then... If you needed your answer quickly, as you stated, why didn't you just Google it or go to the play store and do a quick search for video chat? It would have answered your question far more quickly (which is what you needed, right?) rather than waiting for a response from the forums. It's also one of the reasons a lot of members have the "Please search before you post" or something like that in their signature (oh look, a guy in here has it and in a large font and in red to boot!). He's being smart too then I take it.
-Btw Google talk (or Talk as it is shown in the app drawer) has been around for over a year now and is included in a whole lot of roms especially if you flash gaps separately and skype and tango have been out for even longer than that... just search first next time okay? Then you can be smart too!
Edit: I was just over in the PACman rom dev section and saw you posted the same question there and were told basically the same thing I told you but you didn't accuse them of wasting your time with a "smart" answer and they didn't even put it as nicely as I did. I'm no rookie to these forums and have been around here for a few years. I'm just under a new profile. So next time don't try to get "smart" with someone a bit wiser than you and who was trying to help...

Well... I never knew you could press Power and Home to take screenshots. In AOSP ROMs, they usually had the functionality added. If they didn't, or I was running a TouchWiz ROM, I would use ShootMe.
Now I'm finding out that I could do this stock. So I don't need ShootMe anymore. The reason this got to me more than usual was because I use SwipePad and one of my ports (as it's called in SwipePad) is ShootMe. So I can go take a screenshot without leaving the app. LoL!! This allows me to get rid of a port for a more useful app.
Android has spoiled me. I'm complaining about something small like that.
