1st decide what u want to do from your mobile, chance is u will get an app which out performs ur expectations.. optimus 1 market shows apps which are nt dat useful sometimes..

Got this screen protector from Amazon for $1. Ordered Friday, got today. Not bad! Anyways, it was $1! I had a little squirt bottle of solution from a Zagg I had on an iphone and used it to apply. Went on great, feels thick but not annoying thick and sticky like a Zagg. After the solution dried, it looks great. Anyways, did I mention it was $1?!

[Vibrant Accessories] darksandz93:
does it have those really annoying lines when viewing a white screen? my Zagg does that and it's really annoying
[Vibrant Accessories] jpcdeux:
I don't see any when looking at white on here... just the usual **** from the screen itself

XDA: 12 HELPFUL PEOPLE AND 1584641849682579451694.5 complaining, ignoramous pansies.
[Vibrant Accessories] Diamond_dawg:
Awesome thanks for that, i wanted to replace my zagg anyways :)
[Vibrant Accessories] kawika:
Extreme Guards are nice

This is a great find IMO. I've been using this specific screen protector since the 2nd or 3rd month of using my phone. I got mine off ebay and thought i got a good deal at the time but it wasn't $1 + FREE SHIPPING!!:eek:

I use cases everyday went from generic to BodyGlove to currently Otterbox and the screen protector has held up well with only minor smudges/indents(i put one on my sisters vibrant at the same time, she does not use casses everyday and you can tell cuz the screen protector has smudges all over it LOL). This is my first "wet" screen protector and all in all im half/half on it.

PROs -

- REALLY love the clear crisp look. This thing really lets the phones awesome screen show off to its full ability!

CONs -

- getting water around my phone makes me scared!

- a little more difficult to install than normal "dry" type screen protectors

- the smudges/indents are permanent its almost like "wet" protectors are thinner and softer

thanks again for this awesome find!:D
[Vibrant Accessories] jamboy5590:
Wow thanks for 1$ i guess ill try it
[Vibrant Accessories] HeavyA:
I went ahead and picked up 3 of these (just in case I messed up the install). Grand total of $3, with free shipping. They came in the mail within 2 days, not too bad.

Anyways, I had the Tmobile branded screen protector on my Vibrant since the day I bought it (and having used the 2nd to replace the first when it wore out). When I took the old protector off, I was blown away by the quality of the phone display. I forgot how awesome it was since I got used to using the screen protector. I carefully put one of these on it, and I have to say that there are no bubbles, and the screen maintains the same quality as if there was no cover on it at all. This protector blows the tmobile branded version away and it also covers the "buttons" at the bottom of the phone, which were left uncovered by the old protector.

Having now tried these out, they are WELL WORTH the price.

You can't beat $1, and they work well and look very nice. You almost can't even tell there is one on the phone.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and I'll recommend these to anyone that asks.
[Vibrant Accessories] erez213:
I also have this screen protector, and it's realy great !
[Vibrant Accessories] dklimah:
I bought this too and it was a horrible screen protector.
[Vibrant Accessories] rabeatz:
I bought one of these based on the reviews, and so far I'm disappointed. There appear to be multicolor streaks all over the screen when it's turned on, as if there is grease all over it, especially when the screen is white. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution for it? This makes my screen look horrible.
[Vibrant Accessories] HeavyA:
It tends to start out like that, but clears up as the moisture between it and the screen evaporates.

I have applied 2 of these now and have had no issues whatsoever with them.
[Vibrant Accessories] Diamond_dawg:
True but compared to my old zagg this one looks still greesy and scratches can be seen D:
[Vibrant Accessories] Gadgetz:
Hey guys, I recently bought one of these off Amazon when I ordered my Otterbox case, it was only $2 so I figured I had nothing to lose. Here's my take on it.

[Vibrant Accessories] danvsullivan:
For those of you complaining, you probably just didn't install it right. I've had mine for a long time and I love it to pieces. The screen is bright, clear and unscratched. It doesn't get in the way of using the touch screen either.

[G Tablet General] toonvox:
Help, please! I need someone to go over to the developers' forum to ask kornyone this (I have yet to post ten posts to gain access over there):

Since flashing to this ROM, I cannot switch keyboards. It's stuck on the huge Japanese keyboard which takes up 2/3 of the screen. I keep trying to change it to either Gingerbread or Swiftkey in Settings, but nothing doing. Rebooting doesn't work, forcing stop doesn't work and switching launchers does nothing.

Has anyone else encountered this...and how is it fixed? Thanks!
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
You try reflashing? Maybe something glitched during your install.

Here is how I installed the very same ROM. I really like it.

Go into CWM recovery

clear data/factory reset

mount system and data

format both system and data

format cache

format dalvik (in advanced)

flash rom from sdcard

then format cache and dalvik again

and do clear data/factory reset again

finally install the gapps package from the Vanilla gBread thread.

It's probably a little redundant to do it this way, but it always works for me.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Sounds a little bit like 'The Nuclear Option' to me :)

That will certainly get you back to square one and about as clean as you can get.

However, I might suggest just going into CWM and reflashing the ROM without clearing any data (might go ahead and clear cache). This should reset the /system partition back to stock, without messing up your /data.

Re-flashing without clearing /data is *generally* safe if you are staying on the same ROM (and often between different ROMS, but not always).

This might get your keyboard back without having to reload all your apps, etc.
[G Tablet General] toonvox:
I might need the nuclear option. I reflashed the ROM by itself before I posted this cry for help and it made it worse - couldn't discern one launcher from another. I'm thinkin' if I'm going to do a system wipe, I might as well try another ROM. Gingerbread is nice, but the hassles are no fun.

Thanks for the suggestions, though!
[Thunderbolt General] laneharts:
I am rooted and using Liquid Thundersense which is totally awesome...anyway, I unplugged my phone at a full charge at exactly 3:00 pm this afternoon so I could test out the battery life...It is 12:45 and I am at 19% which is all fine, but my battery thing on my under about phone in the settings menu says it has only been unplugged for 7 hours when it has really been unplugged for almost 10...not a huge problem, but what the hell would make it do that...I know for a fact it has not been plugged in anymore after 3

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I will assist you in getting there. I've been studying computer and game programming for over three years now. PM me and we will do this there.

I really don't think this is the appropriate place.

Thank you.
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
"A Gradebook object will have a course name, total points earned, and total points possible. All points will be whole numbers."

OK, so make a new class, call it "Gradebook", and give it 4 fields. Three integer, one string. Then make 4 getter, and 4 setter method stubs.

"When a Gradebook object is constructed the course name will be provided by the user. The total points earned and total points possible should be set to zero."

Write your constructor method.

"Create a static method named disclaimer that will print the words "This program is just a tool, please consult your instructor to verify your course grade.""

Umm... if you can't do this, step away from the computer, as you should not be passing a course such as this...

public static void disclaimer()
{
System.out.println("This program is just a tool, please consult your instructor to verify your course grade.");
}

"Create a method that will return the course name", and the other two like it...

Remember I told you to make getter and setter methods. If you did that, you have already done this...

There you go, that took about 5 minutes :D Rest of project should take no more than about 30 minutes, I'd say :)

[EVO 4G General] FuMMoD:
So the service in my neighborhood is now completely dead and I've called sprint about 4 times now concerning the issue. I spot to a guy from advance tech support today and he told me the tower in my area is down for maintenance and the estimated time to get it back running would be around June 1st. He said I might be eligible to get out of an early termination fee because he wrote in the notes that my area had service and now it does not anymore. I got a new phone with metro and I was planning on switching over. So i called up sprint again to start the porting process and explained the situation and they refuse to transfer over without charging me the ETF. I think this is total bs since I have not had any service in my area since March 29.

How do I cancel and port my number without paying the ETF? I know there's got to be something about no providing service that can break a contract or something.

Thanks in advance guys.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
Did you ask to speak to a supervisor?
[EVO 4G General] FuMMoD:
I did and the person i spoke to said "I'm a manager in charge of plan cancellations"
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Do you know if this was someone in the retention department? Thats who you need to be talking to, they are the last line of customer service so to speak. They deal with customers who are leaving, and yeah they will probably try to nail you with an ETF at first but keep pushing and I am sure you can get somewhere.
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
Yeah the person lied to u its not called plan cancellations its called retentions. So u obviously where talking to an idiot. Call sprint back and get the retentions department then ask for a supervisor when u get transfered. After u get to retentions supervisor u should have no problem getting out with no ETF. By law they have to let u out of your contract with no etf if u are gonna be withought service for that long.
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
+1

And if I remember correctly retentions is not open 24/7 so you will probably have to call back during "normal" business hours.
[EVO 4G General] FuMMoD:
Thank you guys, I'm going to call back right now and see what they tell me. I really just want to switch my evo over to metro to have service. I'm sick of this deadzone in my neighborhood.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Why not just get an airrave?
[EVO 4G General] sling:
What good is that when he steps out side Airwave range he doesn't have working tower in his neighborhood.

OP call retentions get out of contract if June1 fix is all they can do.

If they want to pass you free months of service hmm I would stay on give them a chance
[EVO 4G General] jojo757:
sprint likes to check both "sides" before you cancel like if u dont have Sprint atleast they can offer you Nextel... and vice versa...

Wait for like a month... plus make sure you not using your phone at all because sprint can see everything in there systems.

When you call to cancel say, "I want to cancel due to poor signal" and you would love to stay but the signal is bad...

they going to make atleast 2 good offers then try to cancel your line.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Something about this just doesn't seem right. Your house should be covered by at least two towers, unless you are really off in the boonies.

And an airrave is good for a decent distance.

Now if you say you have zero service in a 2 mile radius of your house, than I would complain.

And it just doesn't sound right that Sprint would take down the tower for 2 months.
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Towers down or not, not having service at your home is a pretty big issue especially with paying the money that we do for the Evo and the plan necessary to have it.

I had a similar issue with Verizon when I lived in California because we lived in the hills of Orange County. Verizon eventually sent a tech. out and they tested the signal and determined that it was a poor service area and let me cancel without paying the ETF. I would imagine that Sprint would go along similar steps as well.

I can tell you from experience that if you experience poor service in your house that if you go through retention and push enough, they will give you an Airave completely free of charge and will credit the monthly charge every month. So if its just service in your house I would go with that route if they aren't willing to wave the ETF.
[EVO 4G General] FuMMoD:
Thanks for all your help guys. I called back today and spoke with another supervisor and they reviewed what the advance tech support guy told me yesterday. The coverage in my area is incredible full 4g and everything but since the tower is down till June 1st I was able to get off my contract with no ETF. The guy i spoke to today was trying to tell me to send my phone in and I informed him that there is no service and to check the network map they have for outages. He reviewed it and approved me switching over to another carrier temporarily without any fees. I was offered an Air Rave but the tech guys said it's useless because the problem was not the signal, it was the actual tower itself.
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Still sucks though about "switching to another carrier temporarily" because what happens when you have to switch back to Sprint. Won't you get stuck with an ETF with the other carrier?
[EVO 4G General] pmoreau:
Useless? That does not sound right since the Airrave does not use any tower signal but uses your wired broadband connection..
[EVO 4G General] FuMMoD:
It's a pay as you go company. Metro PCS. They got just as good service in miami as Sprint, just the internet is a little more slower.
[EVO 4G General] #Winning#:
Well I guess your good to go then! Good Luck.
[EVO 4G General] swaydude:
Isn't Metro PCS service using the Sprint towers?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
They have certain agreements when several companies, including Sprint.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamus28:
I really appreciate the hard work everyone puts into these modifications. Still an android noob.

I have RC4 installed (and a few nightlies previously)

1) How do I delete write protected files in the system folder such as ringtones and alarms that came with CM7? I've tried different file managers but I only get errors. I have my own media, and the media choice lists are just too darn long.

2) The radio update posted in development, does that have to be flashed every time I wipe and install a new nightly? Or is it permanent? What if I wipe all of the phone's storage folders in clockwork?

3) Do new kernels, such as Ladios', have to be flashed over a "fresh" cm7 install or can be be added at anytime with no ill side effects?

Some minor things I've noticed

-Custom media put into a ringtone or alarm folder on the sd card tend to be repeated twice in media lists.

-The gps icon gets "stuck" in the notification bar even when off

Thanks!!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
1) You have to be in recovery to remove things from /system/. Or you can remove them from the .zip before you flash the rom.

2) Its permanent. The only way to change/revert it is to flash another radio.

3) Can be flashed anytime.

I am running stock 2.2 and I was removing the AT&T bloatware usting TiBa. Was only able to remove AT&T Navigator and AT&T Radio before the TiBa was no longer able to find the following apk files for some reason.

# AT&T Maps

# AT&T Music

# AT&T Mobile Hotspots

# Mobile Banking

# Mobile Video

When I click Force close it closes the boxes but the screen stays black. I cannot see anything unless I hit the power button to lock the screen but it keeps popping up these stupid messages.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twicebak3d:
Sounds like another deleted launcher. Use the search key on your phone to look up apps on your phone. Try searching for market and launching it from the search box, then look for launcherpro and install it. If not just use the search key to open TiBu and open it from there lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhightower31:

I have to post here because I dont have the points to post in developers. Been reading and romming since Nov. 2010.

I have run mostly Design Gears roms. Currently trying Cog4.3 with Overstock kernel because of sleep death. I'm testing Cog for a friend.

I still like Perception better and prob will go back, but the last Firebird Kernel had a bug that wont allow the pc to access the external SDcard. Not really a problem for me, my work around is to use other software to access home network via wifi to move music files on to the external SD.

My question; is there another kernel that works well with perception?

I know DG has dicontinued Perception, is it also true for the FireBird kernel?

The thing I love about Perception is it has the best of everything. HSUPA, Bluetooth worked, Wired headphones worked.

Note:Perception 10.4 had Firebird .9, I believe. It had a bug that killed the mic on wired headset during phone calls. Firebird 1.0 fixed the mic bug but has the Ext SD card bug.

[Captivate General] Delgoth:
I think if you use the Firebird 1.0 (not 0.4) you will see the external SD mounting to PC. I like the firebird kernel a lot, and it always mounts both cards. There was a time when the EXT SD mounted as a cd rom drive instead of a usb stick but it still worked.

I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
