SGP products are the effin bizzo, but in my opinion it depends on what you do and how you use your phone. I love the SGP anti-glare best screen protector ever. But...they scratch easy just like any other plastic screen protector, I went through about 4 of them and then realized, I should just get the zagg, utah I hate it but its got a lifetime warranty and it is hella tough and doesn't scratch but if it does I get another one for free! I decided this after my buddy put my phone case on the wrong way and bent the SGP upwards and it folded :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] nae36:
I use crystal clear by seidio and I love it, can't tell its there plus there cheap
[EVO 4G Accessories] ScaryBugThing:
I installed the Phantom Skinz screen-only film after reading lots of reviews. You can't even tell it's on, not a single peeling edge after regular daily use since June 2010, which are the best compliments I can give it compared to most protectors. I don't know how hard it is to scratch the screen, but if you want the comfort of having an extra protector film, I do recommend this brand.

http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo4g.aspx

Basically, you have to spend about 20 minutes applying it carefully with a plastic card, slowly pushing out all the bubbles, and it takes a day or two for the remaining soapy water distortion to totally disappear from the screen. But after that, it's pretty much impossible to tell you actually have a screen on.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nyb3017:
I had one on but took it off didn't like the feel/look of it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Thumper213:
Had a privacy protector for forever, then wanted to gain some cool points with the ol lady so I took it off.

Best move ever. Definitely increased the viewing pleasure.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mnmoose:
My favorite screen protector is invisashield. I found them easy to put on, protect the screen very well, i can't even tell it's there.
[EVO 4G Accessories] lineageblood:
3M Natural View

How's the clarity on that? I read reviews that clarity is not that great....

Anyways...

I am using the 3M natural view, feels great looks great but you can't really tell since it's virtually invisible. Only down side is it attracts fingerprints.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jfree3000:
Depends on if you have a case or not.

I have the invisashield on mine and I only notice its there when the screen gets all greasy and fingerprinted up. Up until now I have not had a problem but I recently bought the Incipio 2 piece case and when I slid the ends on it started to lift the screen protector off, I literally had to slide the case on and off about ten times so I wouldn't drag the protector off.

I got it to fit but its kinda bubbled up on one side and I am debating on just taking the protector off all together. Debating on using the one Otterbox sent with the Commuter but IDK, i'm kinda rough with my phone in my pocket (keys, loose change, etc.)
[EVO 4G Accessories] colorme:
I've seen a fair number of posts disparaging the Zagg InvisibleShield, but I've been really happy with mine. If it isn't installed properly it can bubble up in an odd way, but I've been using mine since October of last year and I don't think I have decreased visibility, and my fingers still glides across the screen smoothly. (This actually took about a week; at first it felt a little rubbery.)

Anyway, your mileage may vary, but I recommend the Zagg InvisibleShield.
[EVO 4G Accessories] augoza:
Damn I had no idea so many people responded. Well, long story short, I did indeed peel that crap off. And WOW! Visual pleasure increased. I've been bare for a while now with no problems. I keep my phone in my pocket solo of course. I know better to put anything else in there, like keys, change, etc...Thanks for the feedback guys and gals, much appreciated ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I just got a HD cellaris screen protector anyone ever used them before.
[EVO 4G Accessories] augoza:
Never heard of it, is it good?
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Me either won it on eBay on accident lol. I know Sears sell it what I found on Google let you know when it gets here. Haven't seen anything about it other than that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xNotta:
I'm using an SGP Crystal protector.

I LOVE IT!

I couldn't stand any protector that requires soapy water to adhere. (zagg, etc.)

The SGP sticks and doesn't move or come up.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
There's scratches cuz I always put my phone down, camera up. I still have my zagg shield stuck on my wall.. dont they give free replacements ..? There's a nail indent and a lot of debris

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spencer88:
I was in the same boat as you, I had my invisibleshield on for almost 2 months and I finally peeled it off. Best thing I ever did. Too bad I spent 15 bucks on that thing though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jhuff83:
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products

According to this, EVO 4G does have gorilla glass.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
It's not true a lot of people scratch and have there glass bust not the same thing . Check for the thread about it. In the general forums.
[EVO 4G Accessories] augoza:
WHOA! I watched the installation video. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely buying this.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mspeed06:
I can tell you that I went the first few months without a screen protector. Started to notice the bottom corner had a lot of fine scratches develop from being in my pocket all the time. Thing is... I don't keep anything else in that pocket so it came from the pants. Bought the InvisibleShield and could not stand the sticky feeling of the screen. Needless to say... after I broke that one the new one is going sans shield.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrpickem:
Evo has imitation gorilla glass. No need for screen protectors. Mine has been bare for over 6 month and it gets in my pockets with keys, changes, etc.. and not a scratch on it. Tough ass screen!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jhuff83:
Wonder why it would be listed on their site then?
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Check the threads you will see what I mean a lot of folks claim all sorts of false things. Evo with gorilla glass is one of the if it were true HTC would have it on there site stating it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] augoza:
I don't know guys... I've been bare for about 3 months and I got very fine scratches on my screen 2 of them. It really bothers me because I'm pretty high maintenance when it comes to my screen. Needless to say I'm definitely getting that screen protector from japan if you haven't seen that video go to my previous posts
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol if it really did HTC would of posted it on the tec specs of the evo also sprint would of said it. So either get it confirmed from HTC or Sprint if you do then post it then you will make a believer outta the rest of us.

I know the rugged phones from nextel have that gorilla glass but the evo not a fat chance :D :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] augoza:
Agreed...If I remember I'll send a pic of my screen when I get home. These fine scratches are driving me bananas!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mspeed06:
Then why does it list the EVO on the Gorilla Glass website?

Any believers now?

Add the usual www, had to find a way around the newb rules
[EVO 4G Accessories] SteveGrandRapids:
I sent an email to HTC and asked if Evo has Gorilla Glass . . their response:

"Dear Steve,

I understand how important it is for you to receive as much information about your device as possible. Unfortunately, the information you are requesting is proprietary in nature and we are not at liberty to divulge this information. I do apologize for any inconvenience and frustration this has caused you.

HTC"
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tre Lawrence:
LOL at "proprietary."

Nonsense.

"HTC, is your device a 4G device?"

"YES!"

"Can it turn water into wine?"

"Uh, well... that's proprietary..."
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol nice one from HTC I was asking them questions. This is one email I got today.

You've got some interesting questions there, and I've actually got surprisingly little information for you. The thing is, we don't have a release date announced yet for the update for the Evo 4G, nor for any of our carrier-branded phones. We don't have a specific timeframe; we want to release these updates as soon as possible, but we're not going to do so until they are fully tested and approved as ready for the device.

I don't think the release of the update would be relative to the release of the Evo 3D since different teams work on those things, but since the release dates are also both Sprint's call it's possible. Getting this update will help keep the Evo not be left behind, and I hope that it's available soon and works perfectly well for you. For the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc.

This is another one I got the day before

I understand how important it is to have the most current software available for your device and I am pleased to inform you that the Evo 4G is scheduled to receive the 2.3 update later in the second quarter. Updates to the HTC Sense experience and htcsense.com are independent of upgrades to the core OS in our phones. Please monitor htc.com for further information as we get closer to the update availability.

The following is a direct quote from our CEO “There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones.

I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience.” We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked; Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked.

Ive been bare for a couple months. Very minor scratches, except the one I got from dropping my benchmade 51 on it....still pretty small considering I dropped a butterfly knife on it XD
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
My was under a screen protector for almost a year, the first week I went naked I gotta small scratch on the screen. No clue how it happened as its in a Ballistic HC case at work and only naked on the weekends and evenings when I'm not doing anything to damage it..... little disheartening...
[EVO 4G Accessories] jagxj220:
I have a screen protector from www.clearprotector.com and I had it for my LG Vu, and they are great. Plus their customer service rocks. I am not trying to sell them, but they provide military grade protection, dosen't fade, and doesn't peel like the cheap protectors.

I have had my keys scratch them and dropped my phone on the screen on pavement, and not a scratch. Worth the cost, and you can find coupons for them, which make them a better deal.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
It's quite possible that your sbf is too long of a file name and there's a programming bug in RSD that will not allow a certain length for your sbf.

I used that link to flash my sbf properly and it helped. It's odd that that's what you need to do, but it seems to work :D

Do you have a sd card reader or a common notebook or a different phone or whatever device that can mount a microsd card?

if so, put you micro sdcard there and extract there a new openrecovery update.zip and boot again in recovery.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:
Morning XDA,

Just had a quick question about your opinions on micro SDHC cards.

The 2GB that Sprint gave me is quickly filling up, and so I'm deciding to go up to an 8GB

Any cards (type/model) you recommend and which ones cause any problems?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] cachorropedorro:
I'm not too sure about the 8GB cards but I bought a 16GB Class 10 SDHC card from Newegg.com for pretty cheap ($35.99).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._re=16gb_sdhc_class_10-_-20-220-546-_-Product

It performs great and I haven't had a single problem with it. I also notice that my HD videos that are recorded aren't as choppy.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] finalhit:
I have the exact same card and I definitely recommend it. Also did some speed tests on it and its definitely a class 10

i dont need a signature
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:
Well I'm on a budget (under $20) and looking at just 8GB Class 4 or 6

This is mostly just to upgrade storage space

I appreciate the suggestions though
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BrandoKC:
There was a 16GB Class 10 from Wintec on New Egg for $24 and change. If you're going to spend $20 go a few more. The class makes a difference and you will notice it.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:
Oh nice. Yeah I've been looking around Newegg but have been basing judgement on reviews. I'll definitely look into that one.

Backups take up most of my space.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Carrick1973:
I got this 8 gig. class 6 card on Amazon for about 17 bucks (I was able to bundle it with something else to get free shipping). I find it's just fine for holding some music and app files. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026L7DG0
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:

I'm not THAT stingy between the price disparities, just saw it on NE first.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] kbrn:

In my best buy in atl we just recently got class 10 micro 8gb for 25. It's a sale price but sometimes they last a while.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] pwrmedia:
For you guys who upgraded.....

Are the cards formatted out of the box, and "plug-n-play", or do they require additional steps before being read by the phone? I purchased (against my better judgement) a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card last week, and the phone didn't even recognize the new card. Currently running CM7, so I though the ROM may be the issue, but I nandroided back to Stock, and the card wasn't recognized on that one either. So I just took it back (the card).

I'd like to upgrade, since yes, the backups do take a substantial amount of space, but I'd rather get a card that I can just plug in and go.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ajs2677:
If you're talking about the PNY card, the Best Buy website is showing this as a new item in my local store for $29.99 ($49.99 for 16gb). I'm going to run over there after work and see if they're on sale.

seems to be out of stock right now, but I was scared to try it after the reviews I read. But definitely works good. There's a flashable zip somewhere to change the SD cache or something and it worked out pretty well
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:
This is a little off topic from my original question, but it's still accessories related

I honestly don't like the charger that came with this phone; juts out of the wall to far and I don't like how it's two parts. I'll definitely keep the cable for computer connectivity though.

I was browsing Amazon and I've seen a couple flat retractable prong ones and I can never seem to find cord length. Plus compatibility issues in terms of voltage output

Need a one piece charge, with a nice lengthy cord, and compact prong style

Any recommendations?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ryocho:
pretty much any micro USB cable will charge the phone. As for charger, I've been using AC chargers for ipod touch and all of them worked with the phone. From my experience, HTC phones tend to be not very picky when it comes to chargers.

my card

I got one of these. All the Transcend products have great reviews and very few bad ones. They look to be the runner up to Sandisk in terms of overall quality/price. A class 6 is fast enough, and filling up 16 gb is way different than filling up 2. I spent a bit more because I plan on never getting a better one. I would look at their 8gb class 2 or 4. I bet there is one in the price range.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] nvhush:
I have a quick and pretty stupid question. I picked up a class 6 8gb for $12. The hboot and recovery is updated to the latest. When I enter recovery and hit "Partition SD Card" the max I can select is 4gb even when the stock 2gb card is inserted. I guessed that the rest gets allocated on sd-ext; however I get an error whenever I flash any ASOP or Sense rom that the sd-ext formatting failed. What do I need to do so I can use at least 7gb and allocate 128mb for the swap partition? Unfortunately I don't have a card reader available.

Thanks

i got a 8gb class 2 for $11 a few weeks ago. i haven't had any problems with my class 2 yet and i've recorded video, but i haven't really pushed it to the limit.

fry's is selling 8gb class 10 for $13 today..
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Sentinel One:
There are a lot of reports of the 16 and 32 GB cards failing withing weeks of install.

It supposedly has to do with the firmware in the cards not being compatible with the full functions of a smartphone.

Patriot claims to have recently updated their firmware to address this issue.

Thanks for the info. I really want to get a 32 GB but I'm scared to have it fail.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] doratheconquistadora:
I think you mean GB, not MB

Also, yeah. My one gripe is that most of these are 3/5

With half being 5* and the other being 1* (due to failures within months or weeks of use)

And I really don't want that. Just need something reliable really.

Woah that's pretty nice. Though 16GB and 32GB are usually lower class speeds (from the ones I've seen anyways)

Not a bad deal, but I'm happy with my 8GB
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] tokuzumi:
Get one of these. You plug it into an outlet, and all the plugs are now on the side. It only sticks out about 1.5" from the wall. I have one beind my bed, with two power strips, one for the wife, one for me. Works great.

And it's probably cheaper than buying a new charger cable. They can be found locally.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LisaBham:
I didn't get much response on my previous question about proxy support for the stock rom, so I was wondering if any of the alternate roms include it. I would very much like to have access to the internet at work, but the school district requires loggon through a proxy server (content filter) before you can access the WiFi network. I realize that port restrictions that the district places on the network will likely prevent me from accessing the market, gmail, or voice search. But at school, I would most like to just access flash based educational website for kids.

Any thoughts on this? The district is moving toward ipads as the tablet platform of choice because of the lack of proxy support with Android. But the ipads lack of support for flash really hinders what I want a tablet to be able to do for me. (Yes, I want my cake and eat it too!) Is this too much to ask?
