So I've been using PDAs with touchscreens for quite some time (see my illustrious HTC device history in my sig!) and have never really found a screen protector I am happy with. I think I've tried most (ZAGG, Brando, MFOP etc etc)

I really need to replace my current Martin Fields protector because it's been annihilated.

So far on my DHD I have tried:

HTC's own - very soft plastic that scratched easily. Looked ugly after no time. I liked the price, fit and ease of installation though.

ZAGG Invisibleshield - I managed to put it on upside-down which didn't help. I love how hard-wearing it is (self-healing etc) but I hate the orange peel effect and the "sticky" feeling

Martin Fields - Didn't fit from the start - looked great to begin with but again, scratches so easily and looks awful now.

So I want to try something else (if there is anything!)

I really like how hard-wearing the ZAGG is, so if there is nothing else I'll go back to ZAGG - but I'd like to see if there's anything similar (but better) out there.
[Desire HD Accessories] fatthumb:
I don't really like those invisible shield, after sometime the edges will start to peel off and looks ugly (have those type of protector on my old HP Ipaq).

I would recommend 3M Vikuiti screen protector! Sublime quality (comes with a price though), try to google for protectionfilms24. They carry the product :)
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Not heard of that one - will give it a look.

Which one is the best?

There are 3 choices:

ADQC27

DQC160

CV8

I have ordered a BodyGuardz to try out - supposedly has all the benefits of the invisibleshield whilst not having the downsides (orange peel, tackiness etc).
[Desire HD Accessories] OrionBG:
Why would you need a screen protector for the DHD? It has a Gorilla Glass screen!

I can't even imagine what will you have to do to scratch it!
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
The DHD doesn't have Gorilla Glass :)

Let us know about how the Bodyguardz protector works out for you, I dodn't know there was material out there as strong as Invisible Shield, but mirror-like.
[Desire HD Accessories] Foladko:
The DHD is very exposed to stratches, the massive screen isn't helping...

Anyway what are you doing with your phone? Do you carry it around with knives or something :rolleyes:

I still have a untouched original protector (I do have a slight scratch under it :mad::mad:)
[Desire HD Accessories] donsdcorleone:
I went for the Steinheil anti fingerprint screen protector, costs about $16,- on ebay. Unfortunately they (you get 2) have not yet arrived.

[Desire HD Accessories] javanutsy:
I'm happy with Realook. Finger slides smoothly, great fit, no bubbles. Can hardly tell it's there. Only slight rainbow effect if viewing at extreme angles.
[Desire HD Accessories] dlads:
Part of my job is fitting these bloody things, trust me when i say that if it's peeling away at the edges, you did not put it on properly.

I nail these things every time, however the only phones that they look and feel good on is an iphone 4, oh and the ipad and galaxy tab. The DHD looks **** with it.

@ the thread starter, my advice would be to go for a phone protector (case) and a nice smooth screen protector, any generic s.p will work just fine, even the one's that come with cases (IF you can put them on right)

My fav screen protectors are the ones made by griffin, not sure if they do one for the DHD tho, shame really as they feel really nice and are a dream to put on.
[Desire HD Accessories] dietdrpeper:
Reelook is the only one I will use. FYI, gorilla glass can scratch.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
Here in Japan I've been using the one from SoftBank. (The same carrier that sells the Desire HD).

I was shocked by the price because it was about 20 dollars (equivalent) and the only one available for the DHD when it came out.

However, it is still going strong and it still looks brand new. So I will definitely be buying another in the future when necessary.

My girlfriend sometimes mentions how good my screen is. I keep the phone in this old electronic dictionary case (bottom left) which has been stitched to nearly half the size so the phone fits in tightly and the screen is wiped when pushed in or pulled out. A student made me the blue one (at the top) so I decided to utilize the old one.

So I definitely recommend the SoftBank screen protector plus a soft and strong phone case.
[Desire HD Accessories] endine:
I have used many types of screen protectors. I have been using BSE skins for awhile now, cheaper than Zagg and no orange peel. I have a full set coming in the mail.

How about the free screen protector that comes with the otterbox? Are they any good?
[Desire HD Accessories] ankhazam:
Well I like my Brando Ultra Clear... though still it gets greasy... Pure glass screen was the best ;P
[Desire HD Accessories] jedifozzie:
I have the otterbox one not very good feels sticky and gets greasy very easily the best ones I used was the power support anti glare on the iPhone :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Goodm7sn:
Brando ultra Clear and anti-Glare screen protectors

i have brando ultra clear protector and the anti-glare one too for quite a few months now, sharing my experience with both :

Brando ultra clear:

Pros:crystal clear display , fitting cut , easy to install and remove , washable , very thin and offers good screen protection.

Cons: greasy and leaves finger smudges (u have to wipe it often), sticky sometimes (specially in a relatively humid environments,impossible to swype easily if yr fingers r a bit warm or humid)

Brando anti-glare:

Pros: very smooth ,very slick, doesn't attract dust at all,sliding/swyping is an awesome experience with this type,fitting cut , easy to install and remove , washable , very thin and offers good screen protection.

Cons: distorts the screen colors (grainy matt look) , reading and browsing experience is highly affected by that grainy effect (specially noticed with white backgrounds).

would be awesome if everyone can make a pros/cons for everyscreen protector they try, just to clear the confusion :)

P.S , im looking for a tip from experienced users of a screen protector in between those 2 i reviewed , i really like the slickness of the antiglare but the grainy effect is a very bad point.

hope this helps.

cheers.
[Desire HD Accessories] steve75dhd:
I have just ordered a Vikuiti screen protector, i shall report back when it arrives and is installed.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mitty1990:
Brando Ulta Clear imo are the best!
[Desire HD Accessories] cchernets12:
I got one off dealextreme for about 1$

when it comes in I will let you know how it works.
[Desire HD Accessories] OneStepAhead:
glass can be scratched by sand. seen it happen many times.
[Desire HD Accessories] chrisund123:
I've used Case Mate screen protectors on my Wildfire and DHD, both have gone on perfect, not lifted, and not scratched up at all.
[Desire HD Accessories] intern:
Got the one off dealextreme that was about $1, been on a couple of days, don't really notice it and it seems to be doing the job. That said, I'm certainly not a snob when it comes to screen protectors.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Hi guys. Got my BodyGuardz about a week ago - but have been dealing with my newborn baby son so been too busy to post about it.

Anyway, I love it!

Installation was identical to the ZAGG shield, but seemed to go on better.

There is still a slight orange peel effect (even though they claim there isn't) - but it's a hell of a lot better than on the ZAGG. The bodyguardz has a better fit and seems "thinner" though quality and hardwearingness is seemingly unaffected by this.

It's perfectly clear and although there is also some of the "drag" effect found on the ZAGG, once again it is less and perfectly bearable.

All of this coupled with the fact it comes with 2 shields, not just 1, and I am dead pleased with it. I give it 8.5/10.

So my ratings table now looks like this (all scores out of 10):

BodyGuardz: 8.5

ZAGG InvisibleShield: 6

Martin Fields: 4

HTC's own: 4
[Desire HD Accessories] AdamiX:
I have got Invisible shield from ZAGG, and i think, it is the best :)
[Desire HD Accessories] 8igdave:
Can't everyone just agree please! I really need a screen protector as I'm scared i'm going to scratch it :(. Though I used my touch HD for about 2 months without one without any adverse effects.
[Desire HD Accessories] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
just buy the otter defender case. great defense from drops plus it has a screen proptecltor built in
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Impractical for me when I use my phone in the car in it's brodit holder all the time. I don't want to have to keep taking the device out of the case to put it in the holder.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvon10:
Hello,

I am searching for apps who can wake on LAN my wireless PC by using my HTC Legend device (through internet connection). Is this possible? What apps are currently the best in the market? Thanks a lot for your advise.

Rgds, Marvon
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabi280:
I'm normally using this one:

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.mafro.android.wakeonlan

and sometimes this one:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.benfinnigan.wol

But you have to check, that you can open UDP Port 9 on your Router on the Broadcast IP (x.x.x.255) and add a DynDNS Domain if you dont have a static IP.

If you have a FritzBox you cannot open that port that easily but there is a nice App for that:

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.sifl.fritzdroid
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvon10:
Hi Fabi280,

thanks a lot for your reply. I am completely new to this. WOL is enabled in the bios but i cannot find the wol settings in my wireless WMP600N network card). Do you have a manual available how to set this up and let it work?

tchuss,

Marvon
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabi280:
The Solution is pretty simple.

There is no WOL with WLAN, actually there is but there aren't much devices that support that Technology. So lets say it just works with a LAN Cable plugged in.

A Device that has Wake On Lan enabled doesnt shut off the Network card, so its always connected, even if it is off (and its connected to power).

LAN doesnt consume that much power, as there is always power on the LAN Cable.

WLAN consumes much more power than LAN and is often used on Mobile Devices which are using Batteries
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCypher:
Hy, can anyone help me with this:

I have made my pc to wake and everything is working great, but after some time it stops working and I cannot wake my pc anymore... Anyone knows what is the problem? I tried to set up lease and everything and I do not know what is the problem...

In my android app I have:

ip address: 86.xx.xx.xx

mac addres: CB:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (from my pc)

and port: 9

in router I have pre-assigned DHCP IP Address (192.xxx.x.xx) to MAC address.

If I turn off my pc, I can turn on my pc with the app, but after some time it stops working...

any help please...

Please Help me!!! I want change Date format on lockscreen Notifications bar to dd MM yyyy etc... but i can't do it. I can't find it in framework-res.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DuB:
try widgetlocker from the market :)

Fully customize your lock screen.

Place standard Android Widgets on your lock screen. Can be configured from app or even from the lock screen itself, long-press to add/move/remove, just like on the home screen. will allow you to use customised clock widget and remove normal clock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chjpfun:
But i like stock lockscreen!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] svtfmook:
the lockscreen clock widget is hardcoded into an encrypted xml file in the framework-res.apk.

you have to decompile the apk to be able to decrypt the xml.

once you decompile and can edit the xml, there will be an entry on lockscreen.xml for <digital clock widget>. after that entry will be the positions and layout ending at </digital clock widget>

as far as changing the layout of the date itself, you may need to make that change with the internal digital clock widget itself. i can't remember all the details on this off the top of my head since it's been a year or so since i've done this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djswaggdotcom:
rebuild your stock lockscreen with widgetlocker.. should be possible..
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bernjc3:
I ran into this problem a few days ago and figured I would share the fix for those that may be having the same problem.

After installing Launcher Pro, the sense dialer would not show a call list when opened. I would have to enter a number and backspace before anything would show up. Not a huge problem, but annoying.

Here's how I fixed it for myself.

Remove the dialer shortcut from the dock.

Add the dialer back by adding a shortcut to the dock and then find the dialer in the applications list

That's it!

I actually had to do that twice before it worked, but I have not had a problem since. Hope this helps some people!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
Awesome I had the same problem.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Franzie3:
I thought it was just me or it was a bug or some odd sort. This worked for me first shot. Thanks.

Sweet, I also thought it was just some bug. Works fine now.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jacobk:
thanks, good tip.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] vovicon:
Thanks for the tip! Solved the issue.

Before that, I found that typing one number then erasing it was bringing the call list... but that was not very convenient for sure...

[Omnia 7 General] mendel129:
nice idea,

but the zune software erorrs, can't check for update (no internet... :o)
[Omnia 7 General] c2s.vdg:
It does not work!
[Omnia 7 General] dawnrazr:
but it worked for me? and I tried everything are you sure you did it right?

just make sure yr not connected to any proxy
[Omnia 7 General] BIG-Stan:
OMG guys! It worked but a little bit different :D

I folowed the instructions on the blog but:

-I shut down zune

-Turned off the phone and connected it (while off) to the pc

-phone starts on itself

-then I went to settings and turned the flight mode ON

As soon as I did it Zune started searching for updates and found NODO... so I didnt even have to fiddle with the proxy stuff...

I dont know what happened but maybe it has something to do with the mobile network? Try to turn the flight mode on...

ps: phone is unbranded (nov rom) omnia from tmobile with prenodo.
[Omnia 7 General] lordao:
No go on Orange for me using your IP tunneller it cant connect to update server, as soon as I turn it off tells me I have 7008 and no updates. So Zune for me cannot connect via the USAIP probably a port block issue.

Lordao

P.S if I turn flight mode off it connects but no update, if i turn flight mode on again i get the cant connect error. So it is SIM based, gonna try it without a SIM in.

P.P.S No SIM and Flight Mode connects but no Update, for sure a SIM issue. Going to try a T-Mobile SIM i have lying around.

P.P.P.S Tried Voda, T-Mobile and O2 sim nada, no updates and cant connect on flight mode.
[Omnia 7 General] dawnrazr:
Well glad I helped someone! :)
[Omnia 7 General] lordao:
I think it was just coincidence, you just happen to get lucky and get the update at the same time you tried this work around, it was just your time.. :D

Lordao
[Omnia 7 General] BIG-Stan:
Well sure, it could be a coincidence :)

But I tried to update the normal way a sec. before doing the method on the blog and it didnt work...

So it might be that MS pushed the update to my phone about 2 minutes later or it might have something to do with the flight mode...
[Omnia 7 General] Halle:
Did not work for me either...
[Omnia 7 General] ammarmalik:

[Omnia 7 General] xsiriusx:
Work work work

So guys I did telephone H3G branded; unbrandized with rom I8700DBTJK1 ... SIM H3G Italy received pre-node update here ... I tell you how I did it

-PPTP-connected to EUROIP Hungary

-Telephone access and no-off "as the guide

-Zune-opened and updated

-Located in the menu updates zune phone

-Connect your phone starts searching for the update after about 4 seconds off the data network

I advise not to go into airplane mode to disable the data network but ... if you turn off the data network before trying the update will appear error zune

in this way, I called the update was released in March of this update when you are upgrading your phone just updated post a screenshot

Sorry for my English I hope it was clear :D
[Omnia 7 General] xsiriusx:

[Omnia 7 General] xsiriusx:

[Omnia 7 General] xsiriusx:

[Omnia 7 General] GuestK00306:
Well whadya know :) I did this and sure enough up popped the March 2011 update!

I counted to 15 and (wearing headphones at the time) heard interference - I switched off my data connection & am updating my XENJK1-flashed Omnia as I type...

I have to apologise to OP for doubting :)

edit: Also, when my Zune said "Step 2 of 10: Downloading Update..." it got stuck at 0%. I disconnected the PPTP VPN and it finished off OK.
[Omnia 7 General] Halle:
No matter how few or many seconds I wait, as soon as I turn the data transfer off, I get the server error in Zune.

I used that XAP file earlier thinking that would do the registry change I needed. Is that correct? If so, how do I actually get the registry to change once that file is on my phone?
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
I know there are several guides to follow now but after an hour of trying I thought I'd post what eventually worked for me.

Samsung Omnia 7, contract with 3UK but flashed JK1 unbranded ROM a while back. Used the registry app to change operator to 000-88.

1) Download the Hungary program and run it. (Username and password = "demo")

2) Turn off your antivirus and any firewalls or IP blocking software like PeerBlock.

3) Connect your phone. Settings must be = WiFi off, data connection and 3G on, allow updates over data connection and do not switch flight mode on.

4) Launch Zune and get a stopwatch ready, or at least get ready to count.

5) Go to the update screen and wait for the "checking" bar to come up, start counting from then.

6) When it comes up with a screen with an error or "you have the latest update" stop the stopwatch and keep that number in your head. (Mine was 50secs)

7) Close Zune, hang up the Hungary connection and disconnect your phone.

8) Now follow steps 1 to 4 again.

9) Hit update and wait until the bar comes up, now this time count up to 5secs before the number you got on the first try. (So mine was now 45secs)

10) When you get to that number tap the toggle to switch off Data Connection.

11) You should now be presented with an update available screen on your phone and on your PC. Don't touch your phone at all.

12) Hang up the Hungary connection and then click the "Update" button in Zune.

Congrats!

Thanks to dawnrazr!

It is essential that you disconnect everything like in Step 7.

Samsung Focus AT&T USA

After trying a few times just using the unbranded hack and was not able to find the update so i Did the 000-88 mobile operator hack and waited 30 sec and turned off data and it then found the update the first try.

Just wanted to confirm that Samsung Focus USA AT&T is able to find update.

Havent installed update yet as i want to know if the unlock registry hack stays after the NODO update is installed?
[Omnia 7 General] lucasryan:
Have you did the unlock registry hack and is still applied after the update?
[Omnia 7 General] HissingNewt:
