[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Alright, I'm not good working the camera but here are some pictures, if you want any other angles, let me know.
[HTC Sensation] ayvecs:
Stephanb86 those screenshots are great and your screen looks great too.

I'm thinking I might get the Phantom skinz too, looks great.

I currently have the clear coat which was put on at the mall but it does have some orange peel and after a few days still feel rubbery.

How is the phantom skinz? Any orange peel, does it feel smooth?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
looking at the pictures, the phantomskinz leave around 1-2mm spaces on the edges?
[HTC Sensation] saffant:
Yea the one i bought (Clear Protector), also leaves 1-2mm of space near the top; makes it a bit of a bother to use the slide down notification menu due to the protruding screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] StefanB86:
Thanks!

I have used BodyGuardz and Invisibleshield on other phones, both of them sucks. Phantomskinz I could say that it feels goods, cristal clear, fingers slide easily and it is not a finger print magnet! I still have to wait for it to dry completely but I really like this one. I would recommend it.

1 mm or less, those pictures are taken with super macro shot so it looks that there is much more space than there really is, it is almost non existent to the naked eye.
[HTC Sensation] Narsilius:
Has anyone tried the mate one from phantomskinz? Is it blurry? I really want something to reduce the glare but not to reduce the sharpness of the screen.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Jeeeez, those are some excellent pictures.
[HTC Sensation] Jason Syn:
I just got a ROKD screen protector from http://www.thecasespace.com/ Even though their site doesn't show them they do have them in stock, they are honestly the best screen protector I've ever used! They make the screen way less tacky than the glass, it's paper thin, they offer a lifetime warranty, and if you mention you used to have an Invisishield they will give you 25% off, they also give you free shipping. No rippling around the edges or anything, I even had a huge bubble when I put it on and the bubble worked itself out after 24 hours and you can't even tell it was there. Great buy!!
[HTC Sensation] unixman2000:
Better safe than sorry...

A while back I dropped my HD2 in the bathroom, about a 2 foot drop, it hit the tile floor bounced once or twice and the screen shattered into about 10 pieces. Only because I had a screen protector on did the broken glass stay in place. I only had a rubberized hard plastic case on and it has no shock protection.

So now I have a HTC Sensation, I put a screen protector on, plus rubberized case (I just like the low profile of this type of case) in a leather holster.

The fact is, the HTC Sensation is a very large cellphone and it does not fit in pockets very well. I like the leather holster so I can clip it on my belt or backpack strap. Most screen protectors do affect the cell screen quality (even the "clear" ones) but would you rather replace a $5 screen protector or a $200 cell phone screen?
[Galaxy 3 General] shuvabrata:
Hi,

I am facing a strange problem. After i restarted my phone recently, i have no EDGE network. And if i go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Use Packet Data is unchecked.

Even after i check it, it does not turn on my data connection, nor does the EDGE symbol comes back.

Please help.
[Nook Color General] lbwarped:
Does anyone know if it's possible to basically "stream" the screen to a projector? I'm thinking of an app that would have a server running on the desktop PC, where the Nook would wirelessly connect to that PC and display the screen of the Android on the projector.

Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there is an "app for that"?
[Nook Color General] bigtourist:
i dont think the nook is suited for that kind of activity, you would need something like the droidx, which has a mini-hdmi output, then you can get an app to mirror the screen.

im not really sure of the benefit of streaming an android screen to a projector when the whole computer is there available to you? if its an issue of video content, there are a lot of other solutions that would work, if nothing else, a usb cable to mount the nook and access the video files through a desktop application
[Nook Color General] switt:
I think there are vnc servers for Android phones. If you need this for any video, it'll probably suck.
[Nook Color General] lbwarped:
The main use case is for during a presentation, to be able to see the slides as they are shown on the projector, and potentially see the notes and such. It would be a super bonus to be able to make notations/drawings, etc., during the powerpoint if that's possible.
[Nook Color General] precociousmouse:
a more hardcore solution

not sure if this would help, but I came across a similar problem where I was doing a presentation so I wrote an air app for my galaxy tab, and one for a mac running a projector and used the netconnection and netgroup classes to send position and navigation data from one to the other. Have a look at the RTMFP protocol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maspro:
I recently bought a genuine class 10 Kingston 16GB microSDHC card to replace my class 4 Kingston 16GB microSDHC for my HTC Desire GSM. I have a freshly installed LeeDroid v2.4.1 ROM with S-Off. I did a full wipe/factory reset/format before installing LeeDroid. I created a 15GB FAT32 partition and a 1GB EXT3 partition on both cards for using A2SD+. After comparing both cards (while in my HTC Desire) with 2 benchmark apps from the Market, AnTutu System Benchmark and SD Tools, I'm having some problems.

The problem is that the write performance is almost the same on both the microSDHC cards, around +/- 5 MB/sec. Installing the SD Speed Boost app didn't help in improving the write performance. According to the microSDHC specification I should have at least around +/- 10MB/sec write performance with a class 10 microSDHC card.

I searched a bit here on XDA, and I'm reading some conflicting things. Some say that the HTC Desire supports only up to class 6 microSDHC cards, while others say that the brand new class 10 card they bought on eBay gave them a massive performance boost with max write performance. Also I'm reading that having multiple partitions on a microSDHC card has a negative impact on write performance. Is this true?

Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clicmaster:
Hello

I have no idea and no suggestions sorry :), and I agree with you, everything is strange with writing speed. I think that the "class" is bull**** from my point of view.

Just see my "class 4" card tested with SD tools:

I have a S-ON Desire with Oxygen 2.0.3, and "class 4" 8Go card with a first Fat32 partition (=6.5GGo) and a second partition Ext4 (1Go) ...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teorouge:
I have a class 10 too... but I think Desire's SD handler is the real bottleneck. Did you try and test your SDs on a USB2.0 card reader attached to your computer? You should see the difference among the two.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
I just testes my SD performance with SD Tools and I got 8MBs write and 23.5MBs read with a class 2 card. People tend to say that class 6 is better than class 10, in most cases anyway.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tele27:
wierd isnt it?

16mb writing speed and 8mb reading speed ... thats class 4 kingston card.

not rooted,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clicmaster:
Writing speed > reading speed ????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Kingston 4gb class 4 gives me over 8mbps write. ;-) better than Samsung plus class 6.

Also, after some testing I came to conclusion that smaller the size, the faster it is.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tele27:
probably, my card is 4gb btw if you were wondering why i had such high writing and reading speed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maspro:
I recently bought an USB 2.0 card reader from Sitecom, but that one broke down on me before I could test the microSDHC cards. The first few days it worked fine, but now it won't recognize any cards anymore... :rolleyes:

The results you guys posted really surprised me, such wide variation in performance. Yesterday I called HTC Netherlands and asked them if there are any limitations or restrictions on the HTC Desire regarding the max supported class cards. They couldn't give me an answer straight away (they said I was the first person to ask this question... :confused: ), but they are going to do some research regarding this and report back to me. As soon as I get an answer I will post it here.

For now I'm at a loss. The smaller the card the faster it's speed under the same class sounds logical. Also I'm thinking that certain brands might be more compatible or incompatible with the HTC Desire. After researching it some more, I came across some information about people saying that Kingston isn't the best brand to choose for the HTC Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maspro:
For those who are curious..... HTC Netherlands called me back, after some research at there end they could tell me that the HTC Desire supports up to class 6 microSDHC cards. They also mentioned that some brands are better then other brands when used in there smartphones, although they didn't provide any specific brands.

Hi, sorry for my bad english, by the way i have a lg optimus gt 540 that at start display lg , swift droid and cyanogenmod logo than screen become black but the phone works, in fact touch and buttons work, for example i can unlock the phone...It has always worked with cyanogen and i have just tried to reflash the rom...have you any ideas? thanks ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] underdog2k9:
are you still in fastboot modus?
[GT540 Optimus General] cla_catte:
ehm...i 've not disabled it, so i think fastboot is still enabled! :D
[GT540 Optimus General] abrams89:
I don`t want to woried you, but if flashing didn`t help it looks like your`s video chip is broke. When you booting the phone the logo and bootanimations are rendered by cpu, later gpu takes resposiblity for rendering. Try to flash your phone with android 2.1 or something like that if it doesn`t help get back to stock 1.6 or 2.1 and go to lg if you have guarantee they should fix it.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
did you flash by fastboot or recovery

Because lot of you made complains about the winner, I decided to make a new short poll to let you choose this time between the 3 most voted bootscreens! :)

The most voted are below..

Reptile64

Uraharasama

lzyllp
[XPERIA X10 General] melody8801:
The first one ist the best one for me.

it symbolize that the Sony Ericsson is hacked :):):)
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:

[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I won't lie, I HATE the first one... I think it's hideous, but obviously most disagree and since you won fair and square you really don't have to do this!!

The people have spoken, they chose yours you should feel proud
[XPERIA X10 General] Dmaxon:
first one look way to home-made , he hasn't even dithered the gradient ...

my vote goes to no.2
[XPERIA X10 General] KoMMyHucT:
first one is best one, it looks not finished, but 30 min of work will fix it
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
The 1st one is too striking, which is why I don't like it. The 2nd one is the best, it's dark, sleek and beautiful. 3rd one's..meh.

Of course all are good, since they are in the top 3, but I just like the 2nd one the best.
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
First, I just wanted to say that it's obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the submissions. Good job guys.

As for the three. I voted for #3. #2 is close. #1 is 'fun' but for some reason, it would grate on me every time it booted up. For me, there's just too much going on and the emphasis really isn't on the free xperia project but on the graphic. which i guess signifies the project.. but now i'm just rambling, haha.

I'm just in the mindset since we're limited to 256 colors, it should stay as simple as possible so that the limits of 256 colors aren't as evident.
[XPERIA X10 General] reptile64:
I will disappoint you but it is dithered and far from home made. ;-)

If you think you can do better try yourself and we will make another poll. :-P
[XPERIA X10 General] ironjose:
My vote to Uraharasama \o/ its the best to take seriously the ExperiaProject =)

I like lzyllp too, nice colors there =D

Reptile64 its great, but it makes me imagine that the XProject its driven by a 16 years old kid =P (no offense)

Good luck to all 3, really nice work
[XPERIA X10 General] reptile64:
I agree with you but I preferred to follow SE's and Android's childish philosophy :-P

First of all all the bootkscreens are amazing.

But from our friend Reptile i think we see something deeper than the image.

No offense meant.
[XPERIA X10 General] AyDee:
Nice work- you got Omega & fiscidtox to agree on something ;)

Just kidding guys.

1 is most representative of the project but the colors and background need to be more subdued etc. 2 looks most "pro" but I think of Cyanogen every time I see it. 3 is nice but not my pint of lager.

My 2 cents anyway...
[HD2 General] xXMuRkxX:
Just unocked it but it wont connect to the data of at&t im guessing its the settings..so what do i put?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Call AT&T and tell them you need the APN settings to enter into your HD2 so you can access their data network.You will have to go to settings then to witless networkscto find where to enter them I think. Also you will only get Edge no 3G. It is do to hardware in the T-Mobile HD2 not software. If you want to use 3G with AT&T you havecto get a Telegraph T9193 HD2 it can use AT&T's 3G.

Hello all

Rsd Lite can't detect my motorola (tried with 4.7 and 4.9 with the moto drivers)

I've already installed the root and 2nd init 2.51 (newest one)

When booting to clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.8 if I try to flash from zip it says E: can't mount /sdcard and if rsd lite is not working.. how can I get to flash custom roms? what's the solution? due to the fact that I cant flash rsd lite I wasn't able to do the step flash on the guide, thats why it doesn't recognise my sdcard in clockworkmod?

thank you

Que raro, xq si rsdlite te lo detecto una vez ya te lo detecta siempre... alguna vez usaste rsdlite antes de que tu defy te quede asi?'
[Defy General] mariosanoguera:
anda! jeje pues si es raro si solo me lo detecto una vez (estaba en la pantalla de inicio) y no me dejaba darle al boton "start" lei por ahi que tiene que estar en boot mode o algo asi, como tengo que dejar el movil para que pueda hacer el flasheo? en el bootloader? alomejor es la razon por la que no me lo detecta puedes darme instrucciones paso por paso? gracias :) agregame al msn mariosanoguera@hotmail.com y charramos jeje

sorry for the spanish, Its wierd 'cause when it was detected the status said "connected" and it was in the "desktop" of android (couldn't click the button start), I've read around there that it has to be in boot mode to do the flash but I have no idea what is that boot mode (I've tried in bootloader option but it doesnt detect it)

can someone give me any tips or any guide that has been useful to you? thanks again :)
[Defy General] mariosanoguera:
nuevas noticias soy idiota, para mi el boot mode era power + vol abajo cuando era power + vol arriba ahora si que me lo reconoze pero eligo el archivo y no me deja darle al boton "start" alguien sabe porque?

new news I was doing the boot mode wrong, instead of power + up down I was doing power + vol down, rsd lite recognise my moto device but.... after selecting the file I can't press the "start" button anyone knows why?
[Defy General] mariosanoguera:
problem solved, "thx" xd

the issue was that the file to flash from cm7 didn't let me, I've tried with the froyo Europe Orange deblurred and it worked.
[Defy General] mlbrusby:
RSD Lite Not detecting

I am having the same problem. I have installed RSD Lite and I have a AT&T Motorola flipside (Eclair). I am attempting to install SPRecovery because I want to upgrade to Froyo.

I was able to install RSD Lite 4.5 and it detected my phone, but the sync failed. I found an article that said the flipside required version 4.9 of RSD Lite. I upgraded RSD lite and now it doesn't detect. I have updated the most updated drivers from Motorola (I know this, because I have the ADB dev kit and can connect to my device via the command line - which is how I rooted my phone).

Any thoughts?

Sorry... Additional note: I updated the pst_flash.ini and tried changing the device detection settings, but both of those options failed as well.
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
It's not pretty, but I managed to get the exploit used by Archangel to work on the 2.3.20 firmware. Hopefully someone can think of something to automate this process, or knows of a better way to do this.

I believe what Archos is doing is simply restricting your ability to execute the Archangel application in the required directories, with the addition of the psneuter exploit, you can get around this.

This exploit requires that you have ADB setup, the Archangel APK, and the psneuter exploit.

Create a folder on your computer titled archosroot (or anything you would like)

Download Archangel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928767 rename the apk to zip and extract the files.

From the extracted files navigate to "res" then to "raw"

In this folder copy "ls" and "su" to your "archosroot" folder

Download psneuter from http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/attachment/wiki/psneuter/psneuter.zip and extract the files.

Copy the extracted psneuter to your "archosroot" folder.

Enable USB Debugging on your Archos, and connect it to your computer with USB.

From a command prompt, navigate to the directory ADB is installed in.

Verify that the device is connected by running

adb devices

Your archos should be listed, if not please refer to the forum on how to setup ADB for the archos

Once your archos is detected run the following commands.

adb push pathto\archosroot\psneuter /data/local/tmp

(replace pathto with the location your archosroot folder is in, for example c:\archosroot\psneuter)

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter

adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter

This may take a few moments

Copy ls and su to your sdcard

adb push pathto\archosroot\ls /sdcard

adb push pathto\archosroot\su /sdcard

Connect to the shell

adb shell

move ls and su to /tmp

mv /sdcard/ls /tmp/

mv /sdcard/su /tmp/

Execute the ls exploit

/tmp/ls 0x62c7a315 0x260de680

Install the superuser application from the market (if you don't already have it)

You should now be able to run su to get root access from a terminal.

Note 1: I was previously rooted with archangel so I already had these files, I have not tried without the files being installed at all, however since this is only a temp root, the process should be the same.

Note 2: I was not able to get Titanium Backup to work, it could be the psneuter exploit prevents the application from properly requesting the right permissions.
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
This is good, but you should post this in the developer sup-forum;)

its too hard to do this for beginners;):D
[Gen8 General] KOCTA:
Thanks! It's very simple instruction, will try it today. As easy as install Urukdroid.

I postponed to upgrage to 2.3.20 just due to lack of root method without SDK.

I need the root just for copy some scripts to \system\bin
[Gen8 General] the_Danzilla:
this has already been done in the following thread with perm root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897877

Firmwares have already been made that include overclock as well, the first post reveals all.

cool.
[Gen8 General] KOCTA:
the_Danzilla , the way you pointed to requires SDE installation. I don't want to use SDE.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
From what I can read psneuter is a root exploit for the adbd service. So you don't need archangel to complete the root.

Can you verify what user adbd is running after you execute psneuter.

adb shell whoami

The other thing that is mentioned in the first lines of the source code of psneuter is that it effectively disables reading the settings this will probably affect a lot of programs and probably is the reason Titanium backup is not working. So this method is effectively useless to have a working root.
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
I was doing some more looking and you are right that because of breaking the settings this is not a good long term root.

However I would not call it useless, since you should be able to manually back up an application.

Perhaps the property file that this setting is in can be modified with this, so that it can be rooted using a more standard method.
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
Not sure what I did, but I was able to get root with the properties intact.

My archos had froze today and I was forced to power it off so I know the properties were no longer be neutered. I was looking at some of the properties files and for the heck of it I tried running su from a terminal, and it worked.

I opened Titanium backup and it prompted for root permissions.

Perhaps something about the forced power cycle?
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
I found out that when I connect to a wireless network (as required by archangel) if the disable network shares option is chosen it's not possible to root.

However it would appear that if you connect and don't select this option Archangel will still work.

I suppose there could be something else I did without realizing it, but this has worked after rebooting 5 times so far.
