Thanks I tried this and my phone just keeps flashing i9000m screen, then blank and then back to the i9000m screen. Looks like the phone is unusable.

Hi,

Sometimes, when my DHD is in my pocket and it rings, I take it out of my pocket and, Unintentionally, rejecting the call (it seems that I am touching the screen).

Any idea how to stop it from happen?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandiman:
Hi, I use Call Confirm App as I used to have the same problem, thankfully not anymore now.:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.tech.expert:
What is the name of the apps?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandiman:
Call Confirm App:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireless.tech.expert:
I installed it but it is good only for outgoing calls.

I need an app for incoming calls.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandiman:
Oops sorry about that still haven't got rid of my hangover yet.:p

Only other thing I can suggest is get a leather-ish;) flip case.

I use one I got off the "bay" and it does the job OK.

Del.

I have the same problem too.. :/ The only solution so far is to pull it out from the pocket very carefully without touching the screen. That just annoys the hell out of me. :D

I believe this will solve your problem. It's in the market and it allows you to delay button presses, to prevent accidental rejections. Check it out.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiagodark:
you have several options, but unfortunely none of them are great! =oP

this "slide" is a part of htc framework, so it can't be changed (if you wanna stay with sense)

so, when i'm with sense i prefer widget locker, it's a really great app, "solve" this problem by put a unlock screen over the original one (so, you pick out the pocket, unlock the phone/widget locker, see who is calling and slide up/down to answer/deny, basicaly you need to unlock you phone twice)

other idea is simply disable the lock screen and use widget locker to unlock the phone, the idea is:

- Disabling lockscreen you will get a incoming call with no slider, it will be replaced by that simple two buttons "answer" and "decline" (the same you got when the phone rings and you are using it)

- when lockscreen is disabled, the screen goes off, but any key turn it on again, so, you use widget locker to solve it, and let the option "over the original answer/deny call" ticked (but it won't stay over anything, because lockscreen is disabled)

you can also try http://www.appbrain.com/app/proximity-screen-off/com.itsme4ucz.screenoff

that app has a option that let your phone with screen off when it is in your pocket, using proximity sensor.

usb otg

Not working out of the box.

My setup:

"manufactured" otg cable

usb hub

usb cable from an external hdd (with two big USB connectors)

Connected the manufactured otg cable to phone, the Y usb hdd cable connected to the computer for power and to the manufactured usb otg cable and also to the usb hub.

In dmesg I get something about OTG going into low power mode, but nothing about the usb hub connected or about the usb keyboard connected to the usb hub. Just as connecting the charger.

I do not know if this is fixable. (kernel modules or something).

as a note, I used that Y cable in order to provide power to the USB, as the phone apparenly does not provide any power (if using only the diy otg cable the usb hub does not power).

With the power provided from the computer (the second USB plug on the Y cable has only the power pins connected, not the data pins) the usb hub powers up but it is not recognised by the phone, and the phone starts charging (power flows from the computer tot the USB hub and to the phone) but does nothing else.
[Galaxy 3 General] Markie16:
The home button of my Galaxy I5800 doesn't works good anymore.

if I press the home button --> the phone is refressing my screen.

Normally you go to your home screen, or select your launcher.

if I hold the home button --> do nothing.

Normally you see a screen with 6 last used apps.

are there options by install to give options on your home button??
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
it depends upon ur launcher

if ur using 2.2 then goto running apps and search for ur current launcher(stock is touchwiz) and select clear cache and data after force stopping

Hi

Just about to transfer from the Desire to Incredible S.

I just had a question regarding making the transition as smoothly as easily as possible.

My Desire is currently rooted and running ledroid 2.2f and my incredible will obviously be on stock.

If I take a Titanium backup on the Desire, would I be able to install this onto the incredible and do a restore of just the apps onto the Incredible S or would this not work?

Any tips from moving to one HTC Android phone to another would be great.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
Not sure where to post this as I have the Galaxy S i9003 not the original Galaxy S.

My phone is 2 days old. I am new to android platform. Rooted using superoneclick and applied lagfix using a market app.

Yesterday I removed my SIM card to use it in another phone but when I put it back in i9003, it did not detect the SIM Card. I tried hard reset - no use.

*#06# shows no IMEI no. Its blank.

*#1234# gives:

PDA : I9003DDKB2

Phone: Unknown

CSC: I9003ODDKA6

Settings > wireless and network > mobile network shows: Insert SIM card

But the SIM card works well in other phones. Please help :confused:

PS: There is no stock froyo firmware for India (DD) available on net I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Its nothing realated with rooting, I jus rooted mine yesterday and having no problems. Is any other sim working on your mobile or vice versa?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
The SIM works in other phones and no other SIM works in the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Then may be you should try factory resetting your mobile and try again. If that doesnt helps(most probably it would), then you have to take it to the nearest service center
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
Doesn't help. I have done that thrice. I guess taking it to service center is the only choice I got as stock rom for India is not available to public yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trip007in:
Why dont you try another sim, may be from a friend just for checking... Or it could be SIM card slot related issue. There is no way to lose IMEI, unless you have acess to the efs folder
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
I have tried that. I don't think its related to SIM slot as phone doesn't have any IMEI no. Yes the phone was rooted but I had not installed root explorer.. so i had no access to the root folder (hence efs). Only app which needed superuser access was some screenshot app which takes a screenshot when u shake the phone (I don't remember the name).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Remove lagfix and root apps and return it to the store or service centre is what i would do .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirwawan:
Hello I am from indonesia, and my I9003 also not detect the simcard. I haven't root my phone yet. Also I ve already tried update firmware but still not detect the simcard. Dont know why. Currently in samsung service center and they said probably sim card socket problems
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
Hey. Let us know any update about this.

I took it to samsung service center. Service engineer there was saying I must have tried updating my phone even after my denial. :mad: He said phone files are deleted. They will let me know tomorrow. They might have to change the motherboard of the phone.

Is that the only solution when phone files get deleted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Replacing a motherboard seems a bit extreme to me, but when your BIOS gets corrupted on a PC they often just swap out the BIOS chip, so maybe it is equivalent.

Either way, what do you care as long as they fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerjack1:
True.

Update: They changed whole motherboard of the phone and now I have 12 GB phone memory instead of original 4 GB. Nice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzone1510:
Wow that's nice! :)

Since your phone was only 2 days old when this problem occured, you were entitled to a new phone... Your phone would be classified as DOA and you would get a certificate which entitles you to a replacement. Hey but you got nothing to complain about as you got 12gb! Seems like you got the 16gb version.

Well a similar thing happened to me, I gave the service centre my phone to reflash it and they screwed up somehow and my IMEI was 0! So i'm getting a replacement for it tomorrow.

Hope I get the 16gb new phone too! ;)
[General Accessories] riahc3:
Hey

Id like to get a invisibleSHIELD (Full body) because I like to carry my phone in my pocket and with a case/cover/etc that is not possible sadly. Ive heard ALOT about invisibleSHIELD but they are all mixed. I dont mind much (I think) that "orange peel feel" alot of people have been saying but the important part is does it actually protect the phone. I know that it wont be protected if it falls and such but at least if it is in my pocket it wont get stratched, dirty, etc.

Some hands on experiences would be nice. The terminal Im going to put this on is a HTC Desire Z.
[General Accessories] raider700:
It's a good protection for your phone for a fair price.

But it takes some time to place it without any bubble or dirt.

(Tipp: If you have some dirt making a bubble take a sticky tape to remove it.)

And yes, the feeling of holding the device a a complete different. But you will only recognize it the first day's ...

I have it on my business phone and i'm happy with it.

On my next phone i will buy it again.
[General Accessories] zaphnafein:
I used to keep my phone in my pocket and little scratches would appear all over it. I installed the Invis Shield on it and I couldnt be happier with the results. But as above poster said take your time putting it on and be somewhat generous with the application liquid they give you in the box. Good Luck :D
[General Accessories] riahc3:
Thats something else I also heard: Instalation can be tricky if not done with with that solution they include. Might have to view some YouTube videos for that.

Thanks.
[General Accessories] Joey1.0:
Used the solution they give you to install it. Also let it sit for a good amount of time before you use it, and put it under some source of heat for awhile. Like a lamp or blow it with a hairdryer for a few minutes.

Also check for their discount codes on facebook or twitter. You can get 10-40% off.

Some places will install it on your phone for you. I went to one in a Mall and the people there install them all day on people's devices and do a great job at it. $5-$10 for the installation, but worth it.

Ive also been commented that Best Skins Ever is better. Any comments on that?
[General Accessories] crocop:
i had it on vivaz hd, it's a very good protection but the phone won't look as bright as it would be without protection :P
[General Accessories] z33dev33l:
If it has any chrome painted parts dont be suprised if the invisishield pulls off the paint.
[General Accessories] olyloh6696:
i've had mine on for 6months (screen guard) good, lasted longer than other protectors, but their scratch-proof thing is a gimmick. Mines been through for abt 6months and there are loads of minor screen scrathes on it which you can see under the sun. im looking to replace it, i guess :/
[General Accessories] riahc3:
There is a difference between gimmicks like Screen Guard and invisibleSHIELD and Best Skins Ever. That Ive realized.

My problem is that if the Best Skins Ever is as good as the invisibleSHIELD at the low price it is selling...
[General Accessories] brilldoctor:
i have a invisishield on my wildfire. whilst it seems ok, some kind of black stuff (fluff?) formed on the bottom of the sides and caused them to loose their stickiness. the bottom panels are going the same way. you would be better off getting a silicone case
[General Accessories] brilldoctor:
I agree, and the thing about them replacing it for free is nonsense (you have to pay p&p which is going to be a lot to the uk)
[General Accessories] HarlyFan:
I will NEVER buy one of these protectors again, I hate the feel and they do scratch easily regardless of what they say. I have minor surface scratches all over the surface and its only been on for 3 weeks. You always are wiping them off to get rid of all the fingerprints, they are worthless in my opinion.
[General Accessories] riahc3:
You obviously bought a fake or another produuct that is not invisibleSHIELD or Best Skins Ever.

These 2 I have no doubt do not let anything scratch.
[General Accessories] HarlyFan:
I can guarantee you I do not have a FAKE, I just have a lousy screen protector called InvisibleSHIELD
[General Accessories] deeken:
I agree, Invisibleshield aka Zagg products stink. They are very over priced and do not provide full protection for your phone. I stopped using them after they skimped out on my Tilt 2. I would go with bodyguardz which is a little better and they give you 2 kits (instead of 1 with Zagg).
[General Accessories] rejavanation:
I have an invisibleShield on my Droid Incredible and my Galaxy Tab. I love it. I ordered another one for another Tab I purchased (not an invisibleShield) and I'm going to compare the difference. The shield makes everything look a little darker and richer IMO. It offers really good protection. You can see fingerprints and minor scratches when the device is off, but when you turn the device on, it's crystal clear. I think it's a great product and worth the money. I paid to have it installed on my Tab at Best Buy, what a waste of money. It was easy to put on my phone and I did it without any bubbles whatsoever.
[General Accessories] LuvDog:
I had invisibleshield and best skins ever on my BBs, EVO, and others.

They're both about the same. The BSE are cheaper, but they save a lot on packaging and extras.

I got away from them because of the orange peel effect.

They do protect though. I did have a problem with my BB curve protectors eventually peeling away at the corners from taking it in and out of my pockets so much.
[General Accessories] Cheetohz:
I can take a knife to my screen, yes I have done it but dont recommend it, all it did was leave lines in the oily residue which always coats my phone. It wiped off without a trace. The corners are starting to peel again after six months of abuse. But thats whats great about their warrantee
[General Accessories] cyleo:
Please check my thread for some more information on screenprotectors and shields, it's in my sig :)
[General Accessories] FuzeLearner:
Look into ReaLook screen protectors. I've useded about all of them and have been extremely impressed with ReaLook. There is no perfect solution, but this one is the closest one I've found!
[General Accessories] bkcoke:
I have it for my evo, my brother doesn't. I haven't seen a scratch since I got it and my brother has tiny ones. mine is only on the screen.

I would get another.
[General Accessories] bawol:
I had an invisibleSHIELD on my last phone which was a blackberry bold. I'm not a big fan of the feeling of their material, but it was fairly protective to scratches. That being said, by the end of the 2 years, there were some very small scratches in the material, only noticeable when held at an angle to the light.
[General Accessories] Ferrari353:
I had a Zagg IS, but I hated it. The corners just would not stick. I followed their directions, and it was curved so it wouldn't stick...The screen protector also had a massive orange peel effect.
[General Accessories] riahc3:
If you have scratches you are problably using a fake or put your phone thru nonnormal conditions (throwing against a wall, putting a drill on it, etc).
[General Accessories] staveandor:
I just put an IS on my Thunderbolt, and while the feeling of the protector took some getting used to, I honestly feel like my phone has never been more protected. Granted, it has Gorilla Glass, but I still wanted something in between my phone and the world.
[General Accessories] :
I had it on the fuze and I don't like it. The corners don't apply right and I got a bunch of lint in the little air pockets on the corners. All you really need is a screen protector for most phones..
[General Accessories] riahc3:
...a invisibleSHIELD or anything like it IS a screen protector....
[General Accessories] phoney_stuff:
I applied it myself about 3 weeks ago. Shortly after applying it, it felt sticky. However, it isn't as sticky anymore. It took a few days for it to get that way. The corners were tough, but overall installation wasn't too hard. I have a couple of very small air bubbles on the screen portion, not to mention the small lint particle that looks like an air bubble. They're not that big of a deal and I'll do a better job next time.

I have the full body shield and I have a feeling that the corners will be the first to give way. Sooner or later, I'll remove the Body Glove body protector and peel away a corner from sticking to where it should.

Before applying it, I did notice some very fine scratches on my Gorilla Glass. I tried to buff them out using toothpaste but it didn't do much, if anything at all. After applying the invisibleSHIELD, I can't see the scratches anymore.

Screen brightness didn't take a big hit. It still looks very clear. There is, however, some slight distortion in the image, but it's not noticable until you try to look at a reflection of something using it.
[General Accessories] Levinz:
i have invisibleshield on my iphone4 and it work great. no problem at all.. :)
[General Accessories] riahc3:
What's ReaLock's website? I cant find any site.
[General Accessories] FirmShark:
I had a IS on my Nokia N97 when I got it 2 years ago and it was perfect, had no issues at all and no scratches.

I now have a Nexus S and from my good experiences from before I bought another IS for it. I don't know if the quality has went down or what but it was terrible. I applied it correctly, left it to sit and cure before I used it. After a couple days of use is when my issues began. The IS wouldn't stay stuck in the same place and if I had the phone in my pocket for any length of time and I brought it out, it would have almost slipped entirely off the screen. I wasn't too impressed so got another under warranty. While it lasted a bit longer it ended up being worse. Now it isn't as if I live in a particularly hot part of the world (Scotland) but that just isn't good enough! I've now switched to a cheap 99p screen protector and it is withstanding a lot more positively than the IS.
[General Accessories] riahc3:
That is too strange; Something went wrong in the installation or maybe you got 2 defective units.

Id try again following exactly the instructions (yes, I know noone likes to wait 24 hours for it to dry up and use the phone but...)
[General Accessories] FirmShark:
Both times I allowed the product to cure properly. It was almost as if the product couldn't take minor heat from either my pocket or from the phone itself. I would have understood more if I was in a hotter country but Scotland rains most of the time :p

And from reading over my previous post, saying slipped makes it sound like it was wet. It folded up and over on itself. I could have re-used it but it had picked up dust from my pocket so would have been a real hassle to clean and put back on.
[General Accessories] riahc3:
Did you buy this officially from the ZAGG website?
[General Accessories] FirmShark:
I bought the product from The Carphone Warehouse in the UK which is an official distributor, the second one was from the Zagg website through warranty.
[General Accessories] ehartqu1:
If you keep it in your pocket it will probably peel off eventually. ive had 3 invisible shields. 2 have been good on older phones. It would not stay on my captivate
[General Accessories] Maliacrete:
I have an invisible shield on my HTC Desire for over a year now... I have ordered the same for my LG Optimus 2x.. There is nothing wrong with them. You need to follow the instruction of how to apply them with care, and take your time. I think this is the key. I have sold the Desire and I took the shield off..... well well.. Just like new.. I think I got another 50 bucks on it..
[General Accessories] theomega:
I had an IS on my N97 for about a year. It went on relatively painlessly and is definitely one of the more durable protectors out there. The problem is that however thin or transparent a protector is, it will always take away a little bit from the screen quality. I also didn't care for the slightly rubbery texture that an IS imparts to a screen so I took it off after a while. Since then, the phone has been dropped a few times and ended up face down. There are very minor scratches that showed up without the IS in place but they're the kind that you wouldn't notice unless someone was looking for them.

I don't plan on putting screen protectors on any future devices of mine but the cost is so low that I don't have a problem recommending to people to try one out for themselves.
[General Accessories] thatsawes0me:
Depends how you use your phone .

I bought the maximum protection one but only use the screen protector from it , and it works really well and you can hardly feel the difference .

Mayaswell spend a quid or two more on the full body just incase you change your mind .
