A new HTC owner (me) has joined the fray.
Anyway, I've decided not to root it yet ( although I'm very tempted to!) and I want suggestions on which screen protector would be best, the best apps and whatnot.
Please help the newbie out
There is already an extensive amount of discussion on screen protectors in the Accessories forum section. I'd suggest looking there for various opinions.

Hi everybody,
I was not sure where to post this so I will just put it in here.
This is a suggestion that I thought of a long time ago, but today I've decided to post it somewhere.
XDA is an excellent forum, which I visit on a daily basis. Even before we had the nice portal it was still fun to go and visit our devices and see if anything new had come out.
The thing that I unfortunately can't use XDA for very well, unless I open countless threads asking people for help, is when deciding if I should buy a phone.
Everytime I want to read a review, I need to go and get it somewhere else. The problem with other peoples reviews is that they never take into account custom ROM's and the community behind them, so if the phone comes with crappy software out of the box, they might negatively rate something that is actually very good.
Lately I have been following the SG2 forum, as that device has made me dream again . Pretty, Powerful and another word starting with P that I can't think of, but when I want to see how good it is, or any review I either browse 100s of threads and try to understand what do people complain about, or I give up and go and search on the net for a review, which I still think does not take into account the potential of the device (example HD2, you will not find a review of it running android, hehe).
To summarize: I suggest that each forum dedicated to a phone could have a nice review in the sickies, done by a member and rated by the community.
And please I am aware of the wiki, but I still don't think it is enough, as it's mostly specs and other things, not actual usage comparison or review.
Let me know what you think.
Good day to you all
This is an interesting point...I know of a few other forums that have a dedicated review forum or review threads.
I'll pop it in the "suggestion box"
I'm still somewhat of a newbie to xda, but the idea sounds great. I usually jump around to 5 or six sites looking for reliable reviews.
Would be nice to have member reviews from multiple angles of usability.
Well I'm glad that you've liked it. I am looking forward to see future development and hopefully I will not have to use other review sites in the future .
Regards to all.
good idea
That's great, I think Xda with many ppls can send out the information of mobile products.
Hi everybody, first I want to thank the admin orb3000 for moving the thread, I searched for the right place for the post, but no suggestion folder for the forum, that is why I have posted in in general.
And now on topic, we need to start reviewing our phones so they have something to sticky.
So good luck to you all, and I am looking forward to the results.
With all the threads that pop up asking "should I get this", I had thought about doing the same thing but never acted on it....maybe its time that I did
Great suggestion, definitely not "flame worthy"
Are you a Noob with alot of questions? MYSELF & MANY OTHERS BEG OF YOU TO READ THIS!
Hello Noobs, and welcome to the XDA Galaxy S3 US variant forums! I've been answering alot of questions in the q&a section, and many in the general section where they don't belong, regarding issues that I like to refer to as "Android Hacking 101". These questions are, but not limited to, things such as how do I root my phone, what is a bootloader, how do I get better battery life and maximum performance and make my gs3 the greatest most wonderful thing on earth that everyone will be jealous of? (I made that last one up, but you get the idea, lol) I was a noob not so long ago, and I still have lots of questions, but I've learned how to walk that fine line of asking a question without making anyone want to shoot me, and also how to effectively search. I have a website to share with you all and you'll find it in the link below. The website is galaxys3root.com founded by user zedomax and he has tons of sites specific to several phones! He's an amazing guy who has tons of knowledge that he's kind enough to share with the world. On his Site you'll find both written & video tutorials where he will personally walk you through the rooting process, installing a custom recovery image(cwm), and installing a rom! He will also review some of the top roms for each gs3 variant and describe the features of the rom in detail. His sites are a great way for beginners to not only get their phones rooted, hacked, & with custom Rom, but to actually learn what exactly all of these processes are. I will also leave a link to his Site androidroot.org, where you'll find a plethora of other Android hacking videos that will provide you with tips and information regarding android development, and he's also quite entertaining. Please check out both of these sites, and I promise you'll learn a few things if all of this is new to you! Please remember to thank zedomax if you see him here on the XDA forums. I answer most any questions for beginners politely and I try to be as helpful as I can by sharing anything that I understand enough to share. I'm far from an advanced user, but I'm an avid reader and I soak in as much as I possibly can here on XDA. If you are new and you have any questions after you check out zedomax's sites, then please feel free to PM me & if I can't help you then I'll at least get you pointed in the direction of a thread or someone that can. I did not make this post to bust anyone's balls, like I said I'm no pro & I had all the same questions not too long ago, but I've been seeing a lot of these questions floating around and I've been including these links in all of my answers so I thought I would just make a post with the links as opposed to answering the same questions over & over. Good luck to all of you, and enjoy your new device!
Sincerely,

Great thread! I will probably also be hanging around here answering some questions so feel free to ask!
I am sorry if I seem to be intruding if members feel this is the case I would request you all to use the polls to indicate the same so that I stop doing it.
My intention behind this to have a single thread rather then multiple threads so that it is easy and faster to find information and new post I think there are around 5 - 10 post on cases currently and for me it became difficult to research when I was looking for a new case this will simplify it and also people will pay attention as information of new products are placed in this.
Today there are so many threads on cases that i check one or may be two and ignore the others and this may not be a good thing because people along with reviews also post discount offers and other information so if I do not review it I am stand to lose.
With a common thread it wont be the case I know there is only thread where people will post about cases and hence I know this thread for me is the best source of information and also will help reducing duplicate data.
With this intention I am starting this thread hope all fellow member understand my point of view
I have the Droid DNA but merely a year and a half in to it I've lost OS upgrade support from Verizon and HTC. If I upgrade to the One M8
1. Is it a good phone?
2. Will the same thing happen to the One that happened to DNA in only a year?
3. Is there root available?
Thanks in advance
Dude sorry to bash you and say this...but these questions are the most stupid someone ever asked...read through these threads/forum here and you see there is root otherwise there wouldn't be any Roms and kernels and whatever and if you would really read more about HTC news etc you would see this phone is superior and the update support will be 24 month or so active...so please never ask again such questions lol
And post questions in the Q&A section....not the general. What do you think Q&A stands for ?
1: do you think its a good phone
2: ask HTC
3: obviously....if you would have taken the time to check the many threads that cover root questions......
Thread moved to Q&A and Closed
All the answers you'll need are found above and would've easily been found if you'd even only had a quick look through the M8 forum.
Besides, asking a bunch of people who already have this phone whether you should buy this phone is pretty much guaranteeing you one response.
I'll close this as the answers are already here and because pesky trolls love threads like this and I'd rather not use too much troll repellent

The idea of opening this thread came to my mind when i saw a lot people having a number of questions and issues about accessories of our device.
So i am making this thread. In this thread we will discuss about accessories, not just official ones but also about those which are provided by third parties.
Rules are just simple.
If you have any accessory which is good and you have full knowledge of it you can talk about it. Share your experience and information with complete details.
Be appropriate, if you don't have information then you can asked but don't share any wrong or spam like information.
Before posting any thing please read the thread carefully and be sure there is no other post like you want to share. If there is one. And still if you have something new about it you should quote that post and share your information.
Give your post a title (it is important) A title containing simple searched words so that people who look for it can find it very easily.
And
If you can please share some pictures of your accessory and screen shots of that device's software or interference.
You can talk about any accessory like batteries, blue tooth devices , cases, casings or chargers etc.
.
This thread for helping each other. There are tons of people looking for help so please help them and get help for yourself. Instead of making so many threads we can put our information and efforts in one single thread. And i think this is going to be very helpful.
If i missed something please tell me.

I have it for over 1.5 years, and I only have good experience with it, only when I play some game in landscape mode, the case cuts me a bit.
