ZAGG Invisible Shield HD for Samsung Galaxy S3

Two posts during same day seems to be quite extraordinary, whoever it's explained by my flow to provided new thoughts. I hope you got something useful from my previous post about my average battery duration with Android Revolution HD custom ROM.

Now I'm going to entirely different topic, which is protecting mobile by using screen protector. As mentioned in several earlier posts that I've used screen protectors since my very first touch screen smartphone (Nokia N97). Anyway I've used budget priced screen protectors so far, which basically means 2 pcs bundle carrying average 10 EUR price tag.

But today I installed my very first high performance screen protector to try is it worth of its worldwide glory name. As already mentioned in title of this post, that high performance screen protector in my case is called ZAGG Invisible Shield, to be more specific its newer HD version. More information about HD version for Galaxy S3 can be found from official product description by manufacturer's official website. 

About the installation process

Product package included all needed equipment for installation process but also clear step-to-step instructions "how-to install Invisible Shield properly". Anyway I wanted to have video guide for supporting the installation process. I've found out that Youtube provides plenty of useful support videos for many, many different occasions.

After quick searching I found video titled "Zagg Invisible Shield for Samsung Galaxy S3", which provided step by step installation instructions to complete the entire process successfully. For blog readers, here's the video I found useful. Thanks goes to AndroidAuthority community which provided this and other also necessary videos.

Here's two photos; product package and view from completed installation (uploaded later) to give closure to this post.

Price was 24.90 EUR from Finnish retailer.

Finally some statistics from average battery duration

Finally I had time to transfer my newest photos and screenshots from my i9300 to PC. I should put this to other words, I had a plenty of time but discovered that more than 50 new photos in my cell, which requires sorting and archiving which in my case takes time as being such a perfectionist.

As a reminder my daily use is following (average work day)
  

• Email (Exchange)
•  Exchange auto push during rush hours (7.30-16.00) 
• In every 1 hour during off-peak hours (16.00-22.00)
• Disabled during night time (22.00-7.30)
• Email (Gmail)
• Automatically in every hour 24/7
• Browsing
• Average 15-30 minutes daily
• Facebook
• Average 15-30 minutes daily
• Casual calls and messaging

Following two screenshots describes difference between two newest builds of ARHD

ARHD 15.1

ARHD 16.0

When both screenshots were taken, ARHD custom ROM was running stock kernel and without any possible tweaks provided by ROM's AROMA installer.

Continuing with ARHD

Haven't been active here lately because my daily work routines keeping me quite busy, yeah I know it ain't excuse. Anyway I'm still on Android Revolution HD custom ROM, which is keeping me pleasant.

Newest version 16.0 is based on leaked Sammy 4.1.2 which whoever is running smoothly. Lately Samsung has released official 4.1.2 (JZO54K) FW, more information can be found from here. Haven't checked yet if there's any differences between leaked and official build, whoever developer of ARHD (mike1986.) is going to re-compile ARHD with new official 4.1.2 Sammy.

Some thoughts about currently newest build of ARHD 16.0

Currently running it with newest Perseus custom kernel (alpha27) and I've found quite balanced setup between performance and battery duration. My GS3 is running smoothly with average 45-50 hours battery duration.

Ps. as I get screenshots transferred from my mobile to PC, I'll add here screenshots to prove better battery stats by showing my average level of use.

It's a bit classy to say but anyway stay tuned!
