Depends how you abuse a phone. iPhones shatter because they are small and slick and have hard metal around the edge that directly transfers impact force to everything else because it is the frame of the phone (plastic or metal that is

attached

to frame would dampen the impact somewhat) Also I think it is the back of the iPhone that shatters, and that glass is not as good as the screen glass.

tjtj4444: great first post. I agree 100%, small scratches are not visible to the image sensor when focused on something far away. A finger smudge is worse. :) So I hope those lenses are oleophobic :)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
The camera cover on the Samsung Galaxy S2 is suppose to be depressed behind the phone. I don't think it will be vulnerable to scratches and severe damage. However, as in the case of all tech-gadgets, over the years of ownership, there should be visible signs of wear and tear. If these signs of wear of don't appear over time, then I have to say, you must be a very careful owner, lol. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
I'm none too worried about an odd scratch, but more of multiple scratches. I remember being crushed when my Samsung i900 arrived with two scratches on the lens, but they never affected the photos.

On my Desire, however, I got so many scratches that they caught enough light to have the same effect as grease on the lens. Fortunately with the Desire, I replaced the battery cover multiple times and eventually just popped the lens cover out of one.

So, no, an occasional scratch won't ruin it forever, but multiple, repeated scratches will.
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
Gorilla glass isn't even that good honestly. It seems to be great for demonstrations where people actively try to damage it with keys and stuff but when you use it in the real world, stuff like sand and fine debris can easily mess the screen up.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
On the forums here, someone stated that their LG Optimus 2X screen shattered and he is looking for a replacement, he eventually found the necessary parts, but my thought is that if it can shatter with just a drop, whats to say that this is a one time occurrence? Although there is no doubt its stronger than mineral glass and Apple's Glass.
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
Im not so sure about that; I had my Captivate for about 7 months and nnever used a screen protecter.

I dropped the phone multiple times from various heights along with bumps, bangs,and stuffing in pockets.

Not a single scratch; the phone looked like hell too, However if you cover the body you'd think it was new.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
i used samsung omnia hd for 1 and a half year without any screen protector. and when i sold it, not even a single scratch wwas there. gorilla glass really works
[Galaxy S II General] EinPaul:
Is there any official confirmation of Gorilla Glass?
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
Yeah, it definitely works. The flooring in my bathroom almost has a sandpaper consistency (yeah, lovely, I know, but it's a rental flat), and my record of inflicting damage on my phones is nothing I'm proud of, but I mostly blame that da%& flooring.

And, yet, I must have slid my Nokia N8 face down across that thing like 4-5 times and there's not a mark on the glass (the anodized aluminum is another matter unfortunately).

I'd be gutted if it turned out the SGSII didn't have Gorilla Glass. Last thing I need now is another phone with a grease-magnet screen protector.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I am sure Gorilla Glass is great but does it TRULY protect it against scratches from daily use?

Thats what they said about the iPhone but you do end up getting it scratched.

Perhaps Invisible shield for the back and sides and go bare in the front would be the optimal way.
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
You have to distinguish between scratching the actual screen versus scratching the oleophobic coating off. The iPhone has had the coating since the 3GS so it's a lot easier to scratch it off than to actually scratch the screen.

I've had a Vibrant (Gorilla Glass with no coating) and a few Nexus S's (no gorilla glass but oleophobic coating) and I abused the crap out of the Vibrant but it stayed flawless. The Nexus S... had the coating come off but if you clean it well you won't notice until you grease up the screen again, then the lack of coating becomes apparent. Even still, it stood up pretty well and it feels amazing compared to a screen without the coating.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
So a screen protector is not needed or to have it is just a benefit?
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
If it has Gorilla Glass, I will definitely be going without a screen protector.

Sure an added layer of protection wouldn't hurt, but it comes at the cost of a plastic protector that attracts more dust and grime, detracting from the touch, feel and appearance of the device.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
i'm sure it will have gorilla glass.... that seemed to be the trend with this past gen of samsung's Galaxy labeled phones
[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
Of course we know it's got Gorilla Glass on the screen, but anyone know about the lens?
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
Just an FYI, I've read lots of posts by SGS owners who got scratches on the screen just by carrying the phone in their pocket. I don't doubt any of the reports by posters here, but Google "I scratched my Gorilla glass" and you might not be so confident.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Lol come among way to go back OT yes this is what I would like to know to. I have a piece of invisishield left over and stuck it on where the "8.0 MEGA" sign goes so when I place it on a table it will receive scratches and weight of the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] siebenhundertzehn:
I would just like to bump this thread. I am very interested in if the lens is covered with Gorilla Glass as well.

I mean, the S2 seems to be designed to rest on the glass in front of the lens when put on the table, so the people at Samsung must had something in mind when doing this, right?
[Galaxy S II General] marc.knuckle:
gorilla glass should be good for most standard knocks and drops but the lense wont be gorilla glass.

even the gorilla glass will show scratches due to the coating on top of the glass being scratched not the glass. also even the gorilla glass itself may scratch with material such as sand getting in your pocket
[Galaxy S II General] MaverickHHH:
Agreed. I had my S2 in my pocket and the screen got scratches apparently from ONE grain of sand. What bad timing because it was the same day I received my screen protector to apply.

I thought I was safe with gorilla glass. I was wrong! Don't make the same mistake as me, get a screen protector!
[Galaxy S II General] evilive27:
I have scratches, like 4 or 5 actually on my SGS2. Not sure if it was a grain of sand or what, but whatever it was, it was in my pocket. Now that i have scratches, i dont really care, but i would put a screen protector on if you're the very cautious type.
[Galaxy S II General] esk02k:
Same here, but I got scratches the day before the screen protector arrived.

Its annoying because the pixels in that area now go rainbow colour it almost looks like dead pixels. Got my ultra oleo on now though so no more.
[Galaxy S II General] lostsoul:
Did the exact same thing! :)
[Galaxy S II General] PINki92:
Wow, actually now I saw that I have some scratches too on Gorilla glass.

On my previous HD2 I couldn't get a scratch no matter what I did. The phone even fell from my bike stand directly on screen and the HD2 was without scratches, never using any screen protectors or cases. And phone has fallen quite a few times.

And I thought the Gorilla glass was superior to the HD2's. I guess I was wrong. I found 2 really tiny scratches which you can see only when you clean the display really good. :rolleyes:

I'll use my leather case more often now, to prevent more scratches.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] SunnyChrono6:
I wouldn't he too confident with the Gorilla Glass thing,all the phones I've seen with a cracked screen just happen to use it.And it's not like the users broke it with a hammer or something similar,all the cracks were caused by mere drops.
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
I've had my s2 for over a year now. No scratches. The gorilla glass holds up well. I took it with me backpacking around europe last summer. This summer I took on the west cast trail, which is a 7 day coastal hike. I even took a nasty fall on it trying to climb over a surge channel.

My old Cowon s9 mp3 also uses gorilla glass. It's about 3 years old. No scratches. I have to believe it takes some effort to scratch these things. I wouldn't say I'm over careful with my stuff, I just try not to break it.

As for apple and gorilla glass. I think its a mixed bag. Wasn't used at first, was used in some of the 4 models. Apple uses different suppliers for the glass, so only some of the 4 series have it. I don't think the 5 will have it because I read an article talking about how one of the glass suppliers wasn't ready (and it didn't list corning).
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
Hi,

i read somewhere (French source) that HTC was going to release a larger capacity (rumoured 1450mAH) battery in the next 2 month for the DHD. Can anyone confirm this ?

German HTC have refused to comment on it.
[Desire HD General] max553:
:eek: That would be amazing!
[Desire HD General] luminus:
Ain't gonna happen, thats my guess.

HTC don't win anything with this and i don't think its even possible because of the fixed alu. housing. They can't make it bigger.

New phones arrive soon, so they not gonna put effort in making a bigger battery.

My 2 cents.
[Desire HD General] stylus1828:
Post a link with that info.
[Desire HD General] baste07:
i hope they do come out with that. it should be 1500 mah in the first place
[Desire HD General] MrYuiM:
I emailed HTC about a month ago, Nada. But they said they're investigating the battery life :)
[Desire HD General] fabiosilvero:
I saw some batteries on Ebay, but I think they are cheap batteries, it can be dangerous...
[Desire HD General] baste07:
don't trust the third party batteries, they don't perform well.
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
I really doubt it. Also, 1450mAh would only be an increase of 18% of capacity. Of course any increase would be nice, but current battery tech coupled with the alu housing just doesn't allow for much higher capacity batteries than stock for the DHD.
[Desire HD General] Howling Wolf:
I can confirm a new "Replacement Battery for Desire HD" is available, the very same size to fit in the unibody, and it is 1600mAh, you read well. I ordered one about 10 days ago, they tried to deliver it today, but I wasn't home, so I have to go to the Post Office tomorrow.

You can order it from HTCPedia:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/inspire-4g-desire-hd-extended-battery-1600mah.html

But I found it cheaper, here:

http://www.htcrepairparts.com/standard-battery-for-htc-desire-hd1600mah-p-3411.html?language=en

I'll report back about it towards the end of the week.
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
This is not an htc brand. There is a thread discussing screen issues that was caused by a similar battery expanding after several charges and pressing against the screen. Personally I would stay clear of non branded battery - its not worth the risk.

Htcpedia is not related to htc.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
These aren't official HTC batteries and if they are similar to the ones being discussed, endlessly, in the accessories section are inferior to the stock HTC batteries and unlikely to offer any gain in battery life, but please report back but give the batteries at least 7-10 days of normal use before offering any realistic feedback.
[Desire HD General] Howling Wolf:
Well, you managed to scare me... I thought HTCPedia was serious enough not to sell or advertise garbage.

It cost me less than 20€ (about 28 USD). I'll give it a try around 7-10 days right, but will most probably remove it if I encounter screen issues.
[Desire HD General] njay-uk:
Yep picture looks exactly like the one I got from a UK supplier and has swollen enough to press against the inside of the phone :(

Did it last longer. Ermm yes and probably about 30% longer but over the two months I have had it performance has dropped below that of the original so personally I have been unsuccessful and will be sticking with the original HTC one
[Desire HD General] TangoEight:
Id buy this but the battery life isnt as bad as it used to be. Its probably got something to do with HTC shipping their batteries uncalibrated or maybe Im just getting used to owning a smartphone :p
[Desire HD General] FManning23:
Isn't there a new nano technology available that can store more mAh? Maybe thats what there aiming for? They will profit from it because many would buy an Official battery with mor mAh..
[Desire HD General] erote:
Just do some tweak and it will save ur battery life longer..bigger capacity just giving it more juicer but that is not far different from original. I think just flash to new recommended ROM + Radio to get the best result :)
[Desire HD General] johnny8910:
Battery lasts nearly 2 days for me with moderate use on standard HTC battery.

You just got to get the phone set up right or go the custom rom route to get even better battery life.
[Desire HD General] springy:
Net yet.. Battery Technology has hit a brick wall at the moment and basically what you have now is the best out there...

However there are some clever stuff happening. There is one which I particularly from last year

http://www.greenmuze.com/climate/energy/2761-mit-nanotube-batteries-.html

However we are still at least 5 years away from this entering the market in my opinion...
[Desire HD General] sergiu_07_07:
Just try and buy an extra battery if you really need more juice :p
[Desire HD General] SensationStyler:
haha yes

+1
[Desire HD General] zkyevolved:
Have any of you guys tried this?

http://power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1502hd7/htc-hd7-powerskin.html

Since the HD7 have almost identical dimensions (except for width, which is .08mm off, which is practically nothing), this would fit. The only issue would be the volume rocker, but as it's silicone :) It could easily be carved.

They aren't shipping to Europe yet :( I've written them now a couple of times, but no answer. Does anyone in the US want to give it a try? 25% and free shipping on it! I don't think it's too much to lose to double the battery life :)
[Desire HD General] letom:
No offense but do you actually have a Desire HD? Because I don't think anyone who'd opened up the battery panel or seen the full aluminium shell would consider this. However I employ you to buy it and see how it goes :p
[Desire HD General] zkyevolved:
Emmm... I think you misunderstood, what I mean is to carve a hole into the silicone, not into the unibody aluminum shell. The case around holding the phone is just silicone, not a hard plastic or anything like that.
[Desire HD General] letom:
Oh I see, that's quite a clever design, someone should have made a DHD version!
[Desire HD General] zkyevolved:
I know, but since we don't. We have the brother device which is EXACTLY the same except in the smallest amount of width, which is fine. There would be a tiny bit more space in the case for the DHD. Put a business card and it'll be fine. The pin hole for the mic, and charger are in the same spot. They have a huge cut out for the camera. Everything matches up! I contacted them and they said (just 20 seconds ago via email) they'll see if they'll ship to europe in this case (for me! woohoo). It would SOOO be worth it to be able to go hardcore all day on the DHD :)

But if you remmember what's the location for T9 or multiple and choose it blank space it will work, the bug it's only it doesn't appear in the screen.

You can add it there i guess Wussiwuh ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cluster2a:
3 reboots within 20 minutes.

That's what I did:

- scrolled through the app-list (home-button) --> reboot

- closed the google navigator --> reboot

- configured the standard mail app (first screen) --> reboot

(maybe it is helpful)

Installed the rom as described and I also have the correct baseband etc. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Orkeren:
this bug is known to owain (as I have told him ;)) but not listed...

some apps (including NFS Shift) install but won't run.. other apps (including Jyske Mobilbank - I know it has a very limited user base) don't even install... I've tried everything in my knowledge (whiping cache, whiping only dalvik cache, whiping both & trying on a completely clean install)...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mmota13:
Strange never heard of it. Maybe do a full a backup and try to reinstall it again. Wipe all user data and wipe dalvik cache too. Maybe it works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] *boy*racer*:
What about hotfix2? I installed it and it booted ok but then keeps freezing on homescreen then rebooting. I dont know whats wrong with that. I tried reinstalling it, and factory reset but its still the same, I think its the overclocking or something. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Wussiwuh:
3d games normally work. try the last link in the first post. at the end of the page it says:

1. Boot into xrecovery

2. Go into partition tools and choose "Format cache"

or try - wipe cache partition
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Wussiwuh:
Some services don't work

If after flashing the latest MiniCM build some services such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Telephony, Data traffic, etc. stopped working or cause the device to reboot:

1. Boot into xrecovery

2. Reflash the latest build from xrecovery

3. Choose "factory reset" and confirm your selection.

4. Once the wipe is complete, reboot your device.

You guys are doing amazing efforts to let us enjoy our phones to the max, thanks a lot!

Today I installed Cyanogen 7 from here and it worked.

There is this weird problem, as I turn on the phone it says at the top "Preparing SD" but then it says "You can safely remove SD card"!!

Even if I go to Settings -> Storage and then Mount SD, it does the same thing.

Before installing this new ROM I had the normal ROM but modified to run App2SD, so my card has the special partition.

I know I better post to the Dev section, but I don't have enough posts yet :/

What can I do to fix this guys?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Orkeren:
You have to format the sd card... you can't have the ext2 partition ;) and you don't need it.. CM7 has native app2sd :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Orkeren:
well angry birds works fine for me too ;) but NFS shift doesn't! And I need that game! :D
