What does a screen protector protect against? just scratches?

I tried one today (without seeing this guide) and I did a very bad job of it.

The problems I had seemed to be.

The protector was actually bigger than my phone, I guess not my fault. I dont care if the protector is slightly too small so room around the edges since the screen doesnt go right to the edge anyway.

Next I had massive bubbles in middle and edges, some could be pushed away but not all, I guess he ones that couldnt are like the OP said and maybe were actually tiny specs of dust I couldnt see.

I had one bit of dirt that got under when I took it of for a 2nd attempt, removing it made a lot of smears.

Then when I used my card on it that added dirt to the surface.

Finally I put the protector in the bin and wondered if its worth the hassle :)

[General Accessories] kingoftf:
Just tried to fix 2x a protector on my SGS but every time bubbles in the edges.

Sometimes directly after installation or even a few days later.

For me the best results I had with the "wet-method" with "invisible shield" never got any bubbles but the shield is realy ugly and highly visible.

Now I don´t use any shield. Only a back cover from case mate.

I think "Gorilla Glass" should be strong enough to protect the display against scratches and the touchscreen feels better without

A very useful guide. I wish the store that I went to buy and then asked them to install my screen protector had read this gude. It was ruined. They replaced it however and it took them ages to install it as they never wanted to repeat the same mistake twice.
[General Accessories] joeryru:
hmm..I think, become more safely its better, even you use Gorilla Glass..:)
[General Accessories] acetkbez:
make your own solution

an alternative to using windex is to make your own solution using a dab of dawn cleaning soap and mixing it in with a small cup of water and dabbing it on the adhesive part of the screen protector. It essentially works the same as windex but if you don't have windex this works just as well. I like the fact that you use scotch tape, that was a good idea!
[General Accessories] xasd:
Great techniques,Will use it when I need a new protector! Thanks
[General Accessories] SnowWaltz:
Tape

initially i'd a small makeup brush to dust away any residue on the screen

then i'd use tape to remove any dust/residue on the screen (by taping the ENTIRE phone and gently pressing it to stick the dusts onto the tape).

After that, i'd use a mirror cleaning solution and microfiber cloth to clean the screen.

This helps prevent scratching the screen prior to even applying the protector...

*(alot of phones do not have oleo-graphic coatings and are prone to dust scratches)

after that I'd peel the first layer of the screen protector and stick a piece of tape underneath it(inbetween screen& proctector) to help me peel it easier if needed. then apply the screen protector.

Sometimes dusts will still get in still. then i'd peel it slightly and sneak a piece of tape in to remove the dust. Repeat with other dust residues.

then Whala~ 100% prefect Screen protector.
[General Accessories] andre0407:
I do find that if you are not installing a screen protector as the device is fresh out of the box, it helps a lot to wipe the screen using a small quantity of lighter fluid on a lint free cloth.
[General Accessories] Stranyer:
Thanks! I'll look into it!
[General Accessories] stretched:
Won't lighter fluid leave behind oil? Also won't it harm the glue on a protector? I just use the soap/water spray that comes with it.
[General Accessories] BillTheCat:
I don't endorse this idea at all for any number of reasons. I completely fail to see the benefit and predict only downsides to this method.

[General Accessories] pen_sil:
i have samsung Yduos

what is the best screen protector that may i use?

1. clear screen

2. antispy

3.antiglare

i hope the enlightenment :o
[General Accessories] andre0407:
Ah, I mean the screen itself, not the screen protector. If you are using a lighter fluid like the regular Zippo ones, they evaporate, and don't leave any oily residue.

It helps to remove any sticky residue and oil on the surface of the screen. Would you tell you why do you think there would be possible downsides to this? I've worked in a gamestore for 2 years and this is the industry- recognized standard to clean a screen before a screen protector installation, if the installation isn't done on a device straight out of the box.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron636r:
Newb here. Any help would be great. Do I need to re flash something? Phone works fine, no issues. Just cant seem to get back into CWM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30000:
I'm having the same problem on my Vibrant. It seems this is common when flashing 2.3.3 ROMs. CwM is probably working, you just can't see what you're doing. Reboot back into CwM, and try pressing the power key once the device "freezes." If it reboots, CwM is working, it's just invisible.

I'm also a noob, and I happen to be trying to fix the same problem.

[Focus General] malik2k1:
Hey Guys,

I got the Rogers Focus update on my phone today. I'm currently on Fido and since the update the roaming triangle is now showing on my phone. Prior to the update, this was not an issue.

Anybody else having the same problem? I don't want to get charged roaming fees for no reason :(

Thanks
[Focus General] amtrakcn:
What's the firmware version after update?

Not the OS version, but the firmware version.
[Focus General] phoneguy 4567:
I get the same triangle & had to allow data roaming, for data to work. I don't think we're getting charged for roaming, just that Fido uses the Rogers network so to the phone it's roaming. I remember WM5 & 6 had the triangle when SIM unlocked & using Fido.
[Focus General] BenJG:
Yep - tried through Zune, but nothing yet...
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
I'm on FIDO too... nothing so far. Got the pre-update a few weeks back, but No Donuts for me yet.
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
Yeah, I was wondering what the firmwares are too.
[Focus General] BananaChipz:
Yes.. Firmware version's please. I'm wondering if there is a difference between my "hacked" NoDo update and the official one.
[Focus General] AngelSpirit:
Got the update too, but having the roaming triangle too since the update... and you have to activate the option of enabling the data even while roaming to ensure data is on... :(

[Focus General] BananaChipz:
Yep.. different.. mine is 2124.10.10.2

I backed it out using the restore point, but the update isn't advertising in Zune. I wonder if I have to put the carrier reg entry back (can't remember what it was!! yikes!)
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
It is 000-88.
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
Hey,

Rogers users might want to plug their phones back into Zune and see if you get a firmware update after the NoDo update:http://wpcentral.com/samsung-focus-rogers-bell-getting-firmware-update. Then let us know; if you don't mind. Thanks
[Focus General] TOA Duck:
It was reported today that rogers will be getting separate firmware updates for the focus.

That means Att will probably follow suit. I hope these firmware changes dont take things away from us that we already have. On the other hand maybe they will help other issues.

I am thinking about de branding my ATT focus to check for these firmware updates but want someone else to be the guinea pig. LOL

HAHA, The guy above beat me to it.
[Focus General] cwiley2566:
HAHA. I was going to say WPCentral said they tried to get the firmwares but couldn't. I bet if you put in Rogers branding instead of ATT-US you would might get it. Anyone know what that is?

Unless ATT has proprietary firmwares on their Focuses?!?!

Any developers working on Webtop over DLNA or know if this would even be possible? I've seen several threads on Webtop over HDMI (wired) as well as HDMI mirroring. Just curious if anyone knows if Webtop over DLNA (wireless) would be possible. To me, that would be a HUGE win so I could have my phone sitting on the table next to the couch without having to run a cable across the room to the TV.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mywax:
Haven't tried the Webtop yet to see what else it offers but right now I just use a DLNA app to push my files to the TV.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasmoover:
The webtop is powered by an hdmi framebuffer module in the kernel. Unless you know of any way to enable dlna over linux. However, you would be able to setup a vnc server on the webtop system and connect to it from any vnc client.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChumleyEX:
but can you activate the webtop without using the hdmi cable?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djazin:
Yes you can problem is that you cant see anything, but you can use the command line and attempt it blind, not sure how to do that or if we have a vnc server working with the Full ubuntu on the Atrix now.

Mods, any chance of moving this thread back to the Development section? I know I framed this as a question, but I was hoping this would be treated as a request for development and don't want this to get lost in the Q/A section. I'm pretty sure a lot of folks would appreciate the ability to do Webtop over DLNA if it's possible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horn:
for doing this it is necessary to capture framebufer content (1080p?) into video stream and send it via HTTP or RTP streaming to DLNA client. I suppose http streaming is most suitable for media with predefined size, so RTP should be used, not sure how much DLNA clients are supporting RTP streaming...

any thoughts?

[G Tablet General] gte619n:
Hi guys,

I'm an Android developer and have flashed Cyanogen on a number of Droids, G1s and MyTouches, and I think I've ran into a little trouble. I was hoping someone could give me a little advice.

Just got my gTablet and am having some problems after trying to install CyanogenMod 7.0.1 Beta from here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14637-cyanogenmod-7-for-g-tablet-v700-beta1-1192011/

At this point, the tablet displays the Viewsonic logo but does not get any further. I followed the instructions from the guide post in the Development forum and have given the device plenty of time to reboot. I then tried the partition steps, but still get stuck at the Viewsonic logo. Partitioning the SD card has removed my installation files, unfortunately.

I can boot in and out of Clockwork Recovery like a champ. I have tried to go backwards using nvFlash, but it doesn't look like Clockwork Recovery is putting the tablet into ADX.

How should I proceed to get Cyanogen on this badboy.

Thanks for any help!

E
[G Tablet General] gte619n:
Wow, what a dumbass.

Clockwork has a Mount USB Storage right there in the "Mounts and Storage" menu.

So I've copied everything back onto the SD card and am attempting to reflash now.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
If your second install doesn't work, you may want to try another ROM (VEGAn 5.1 is very nice) though it's based on 2.2 instead of 2.3. As long as you have clockworkmod recovery you could try a different ROM before nvflash'ing

On another note, clockwork recovery has nothing to do with APX. APX is its own recovery type system.

Volume + and power boots to recovery (either stock or clockwork if that is installed)

Volume - and power boots to APX mode and you communicate/transfer everything over USB from your computer with nvflash
[G Tablet General] gte619n:
Ahh, thanks for pointing that out! I misread that in the previous posts!

It's still stuck on the ol' Viewsonic logo. I AM NOT SEEING THE DIFFERENCE, VIEWSONIC.
[G Tablet General] gte619n:
So I just tried flashing VEGAn 7, and I still can't get past the ViewSonic splash screen.

Am I doing something wrong here?
[G Tablet General] BoulderGeek:
I got my gTablet yesterday and it wouldn't boot at all. I went through the recovery kernel boot menu a few times before getting it figured out and finally getting VEGAn 5.1.1 installed.

if you boot with the Power + Volume-Up, does it say "Booting recovery kernel" in teh upper left corner?

When I saw that, I then pressed Volume Down to get into the Clockwork menu. From there, I could repartition the internal SD memory. I copied over several ROM images, named /update.zip into the internal SD space.

First I tried roebeet's default TnT reinstall package. But, that just perpetuated my looping problem. I think after that, i reformatted my internal memory and repartitioned to 2048 / with 0 for swap.

I then went to Vegan 5.1 and it was OK but gave poor performance on wireless and I could not use the market.

I then flashed the 5.1.1 enhancement pack on top of that, naming it update.zip and it made things much, much better.

For me, not only pressing Power+Vol-Up was necessary, but then Volume Down to enter the hierarchical menu. And, I had to use linux to add my files to the gTablet, passing the USB through to an Ubuntu 10.10 VM from VMware Workstation.
[G Tablet General] gte619n:
Thanks Boulder,

I'm not having any problems getting in and out of recovery, but just getting the thing to boot after I do flash. It's just the strangest thing! I've tried both 7.x ROMs with no success. Going to try the others as you suggest.
[G Tablet General] gte619n:
I GIVE!

nvFlashed back, installed CWM.8, fired VEGAnTab 7 exp 1 and Google Aps and it looks like it's doing it's thing.

Thanks for the Power + Volume Minus tip!
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
honestly what is the point? i feel sorry for you americans - if the tmobile at&t merge goes through then there will only be 1 GSM carrier (i may be wrong) in the US and the rest will be CDMA - and that means that all the foreign visitors will be on 1 bad network.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
The problem with any network "merger" is that you always get the lowest common denominator.

Up to the end of last year, I was on T-Mobile UK, but when my contract came up I left and went to Three. Retentions called and asked why I was leaving, and I explained that Three had a truly unlimited data plan and TMo UK had a 3GB FUP (which was pretty good to be fair).

The CS Rep swore blind that TMo UK would never do anything to uphold the FUP, but I stood my ground and left anyway because I *knew* that the merger with Orange could only ever end up with their plans becoming roughly analogous.

True to form, less than 1 month later, TMo UK reduced their "download" allowance to 500MB bringing them roughly in line with their sister brand, Orange.

Dave

FTR, I'm using AT&T SGT as a phone and data device, just not using 3G (or mythical 4G for that matter) data. You can't swing a dead cat w/out hitting a wireless AP so why hassle with AT&T over their expensive, slow 3G (if you're lucky) connections/data.

The issue (at least for the moment) isn't so much that AT&T will take away your unlimited data plan or not (although that WOULD be an annoyance), the issue is that AT&T doesn't want us using our Galaxy Tab's as phone devices, because that's not how THEY intended it to be used. AT&T would rather we have two SIM cards. One for a tablet device, and one for a phone device; not one SIM card for one device that just "does it all."

If they're artificially crippling the native capabilities of a device in order to force consumers into buying multiple devices to make up for those limitations, then they're price gouging, plain and simple.
[Galaxy Tab General] icreepin:
I am not on AT&T network any more I moved to sprint a few months before the Iphone came out its been that long, However AT&T is well with in there right to limit what device is allowed to do what on there network. Its sad that they would do that but in there contract agreement it is listed there.

Since this has completely ticked you off I would suggest you move carriers if you truly want to show them how unhappy you are with there service. Calling and complaining really isnt going to do you any good since you are in the minority of users that do what you described.

just my 2 cents
[Galaxy Tab General] monoko:
In europe the wireless operators are selling services - like phone calls and data. In US they are selling devices capable of calling or having data.

This diffrenece means that in eu if I don't like something I can move to difirenet operator and keep devices. In us you can't. that is why are people complaing that at&t is messing with them. Cause if they go to other provider they need to pay again for every device. In my home country hspa+ is still caled 3g, dataplan 12Gig for 19eur/month included all taxes
