Hi,

I know the full body screen protector has multiple threads out there, but I wanted to get some feedback from UK buyers. The only one I can seem to find in the UK is the ZAGG INVISIBLESHIELD. Anyone know where it's possible to get Ghost Armor, bestskinsever or other similar products in the UK?
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
IMO, the easiest way is to order the protector directly from their website. Most of them should have worldwide shipping. :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayin100:
So I just took apart a water damaged sf, and I could buy a cracked working unit for next to nothing. My question is theres seems to be a small amount of white "corrosion" on the digitizer. How would I go about "cleaning" the screen + digitizer up a little or would out be necessary to create a franken fascinate from these two phones, picture coming soon

EDIT

I once dealt with an og droid that had water damage and the screen worked but the backlight did not so it was extremely hard to make anything out. You may have a similar issue.

Alcohol pad worked wonders, I'll keep you guys posted
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamar1320:
I've cleaned water damaged laptops with similar corrosion.

use the highest concentration of isoporopyl alcohol you can find (if you can blow a drop dry in under 5 seconds that's good)

And some chamois tipped cleaners. Rub till.corrosion is gone. Don't be stingy with the alcohol. It dries so fast you want to use a lot.

50 50 chance it worked when cleaning laptops like this

Good luck

Everclear is available at most liquor stores for $12-$15 a bottle, and is 95% alcohol.

Also, in a pinch, it is "technically" safe to drink.

Materialized into existence through the act of observation.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
heh, totally off topic, but...

Do not ever try to drink straight Everclear. Ethyl alcohol prefers to be in the 70-75% concentration range and will strip the water out of anything it touches in order to get to that.

Drinking a straight shot of 95% ethyl alcohol is a great way to end up with chemical burns in your mouth and esophagus.

But yes, it will do a fantastic job of cleaning electronic components.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I'm sorry because I know this is probably going to come across the wrong way, but WOW, you spent a lot of time writing that up, and too much time for me to read it alll, especially considering Motorola has pulled back on the Bionic and it's receiving "enhancements". I guess what I'm saying is why all the speculation/conjecture until we know the revised specs? Maybe it'll land with 8GB of DDR 6 RAM.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gemro311:
I'm hoping Motorola gives Verizon a phone that is higher end than the Atrix. Afterall Verizon has done much more than ATT in the way of supporting Moto..when they needed it. Anxious to see what Big Red winds up with.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] OneStepAhead:
I disagree that ram is the single most important factor of performance of a computer.

hard drives are the biggest bottleneck in a computer. this is why I use a vertex 3 ssd.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rob1035:
I concur, really hope VZW pushes for a premier device
[Motorola Droid Bionic] E30kid:
I disagree. Android isn't expanding as an OS at some breakneck pace and 512MB is definitely suitable for the near future. 1GB is absolutely not necessary for great performance in a phone. RAM is a bottleneck, but it is not something that magically allows for better performance if the device isn't hitting the pagefile anyway.

The way that Android manages applications will allow 512MB phones to be relevant for some time. The Bionic will be a solid phone for the next year, but there will always be something bigger and better next year. Phones aren't future-proof.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] galaxyjeff:
I was just checking out this thread and wanted to say maybe the reason that the atrix comes with 1gb of ram is because of the extra contraption that you can buy along with. It looks like a netbook but is not very well performing and who would even care to rely on it for anything I don't know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RaptorMD:
I certainly hope Motorola makes the required improvements, but you also need to keep in mind Verizon approves and in many if not all cases specs the phones they want. They chose the specs, they had to live with the specs. I think once they saw what was coming they figured it was no longer premiere and wanted changes made.

Regardless of why its been pulled back the fact that it was is good, but if its going to take 4-5 months to get it out the door they should have just scrapped it altogether.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cirisoft:
Well, wait for Ice Cream and we'll see. Since the future Android version will also run in tablets, it is likely that it will have huge memory requirements.

By the way, my Acer Liquid A1 can't be officially upgraded to Froyo because it only has 256Mb. Later Liquid models with 512Mb are upgradeable. At the time I bought it, 512Mb seemed unnecessary because the Nexus One operating system only supported 256Mb, having the other 256Mb wasted. This was only 12 months ago...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] laxwillsch:
I think you are on to something here. I think I read somewhere that the atrix only uses 512 mb when not connected to the dock. I have the inspire which has 768 mb, and I came from the captivate which was 512 mb, and I done know if is the ram or what but this phone performs way better than the captivate. Even when I bought the inspire, right out the box stock, preformed much better than a captivate overclocked with an ext4 filesystem kernel. Not that this is empirical evidence, but hey.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
I lol'd. But seriously 512 MB of RAM is more than enough... It's a PHONE not a high end desktop system. I play tons of games on my x2 and with alot of crap in the backround open, and I notice zero performance hits. If you are spending all day monitoring your RAM on your phone and trying to measure FPS loss, load time differences, etc. I suggest that you try to pick up a new hobby ASAP, OCDing will be the end of you. Best of luck!:D

Edit: I wouldn't worry about it either! Bionic probably won't come out anyways, and if it does, another phone with 1GB to satisfy your OCD probably will be out by then.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ericc191:
As of now, I feel ALL future top tier smart phones need to come equipped with at least 1GB of DDR2. The G2x, for example, will most likely have issues running a custom ice cream rom. And people will be upset.. especially after putting up with all of the other various problems that particular phone has.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raptordrew:
OP, I don't agree entirely with your explanation of the use of caching by the OS - for all 3 major computer OSes, no matter how much excess RAM you have, they will start caching data to the hard drive, whether you like it or not. Obviously if you run out of RAM, it has to do so, but it'll even do it long before you've hit that cap - just because it determines an application has gone "inactive". Now I haven't read up on Android enough to know whether this is 100% true for it, too, but considering it's running a linux kernel, I would imagine so. So just like the 8GB of RAM in my desktop doesn't necessarily help for everyday computing needs, 1GB vs 512mb on the Bionic may not make a huge difference.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droid_does:
i beg to differ

my captivate; even though its a single core...is still quite capable at most everyday tasks...only thing lacking is the RAM

my phone will slow to a crawl after entering twitter, switching to pulse and then going back to my homescreen....

not to mention my launcher keeps getting killed by android as it keeps running out of RAM
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mb02:
I have to lol at this one. Absolutely none of those issues have to do with amount of RAM. In fact the launcher problem has nothing to do with RAM at all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] timothymilla:
While I appreciate other people who have the same amount of passion for phones as I do, I just have two words to say about anyone saying phones with 512 mb ram will not get Ice Cream Sandwich. Nexus S.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] droid_does:
it does as android keeps killing it to free up more RAM to use......
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mb02:
Yea the task manager is killing the apps to keep ram freed up, as in stopping unused processes etc. That's just the aggressive working of the management software that would run just the same if you even had 8GB of ram.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] shadowdude777:
Remember when everyone thought Gingerbread would require a 1GHz processor as a system requirement, which was later debunked?

http://www.talkandroid.com/23041-so...ngerbread-update-due-to-1ghz-cpu-requirement/

Nobody can say what will and will not get updated for sure, although I will venture to say that it's HIGHLY likely the Nexus S will be getting 2.4, you're right.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] luke1333:
512 mb is not enough for a dual core 4G phone it just isnt. the thunderbolt has 768 mb and its only single core and 4G and let me tell you it would be way faster with the 1024 mb of ram i cant imagine how laggy the bionic would be if you start doing anything with it! the 512 ram will be ate up in no time! i sure hope verizon reconsiders and adds more ram or i probably wont use this device as my daily phone either keep the thunderbolt with more ram which is sad cause it has been out for awhile now and the droid x also has 512 ram and it has been out for a year and they cant make improvements?? and they are going to want $299+++ for this phone ON CONTRACT! it better have more than 512 ram or it aint worth a lick! rip this phone open and put my own ram in it!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
Have you tried using a Tegra 2 phone with 512MB of ram? I've borrowed an Atrix 4G from my friend for an hour or two and own a Droid X2. 512MB is plenty, and as of right now, I have ~73MB of ram left and I last restarted it on Saturday. I haven't noticed any significant lag or "crawling" and compared side by side with the Atrix, both with similar LWP and multiple widgets, you can't tell the difference in speed. I've done things with it (X2), and there's not any lag to write home about.

Ok I have 2 scripts here, both install however both have issues. Any help to better understand what is wrong here would be great.

first is a edify script that imnuts made , however when I boot it i have no 3g at all and after 3 to 5 mins it reboots the phone

This one is mine but when you goto reboot after flashing it, the samsung logo comes up then reboots to samsun logo again then to recovery

With yours, try flashing a boot.img after flashing and see if it works.

Also, it's the same script for all phones with the same recovery, so it doesn't matter if you ask this in the Droid forums.

Its all good now, thank you

I am at wits end trying to root this Sprint Galaxy Tab. I have tried Z4 (didn't work...the screen simply turns white), then I tried the "UNIVERSAL" unlock that is advertised on THEUNLOCKR.COM and in the ROOT guide in the GENERAL forums...all goes well up to the sync with Keis when it tell me that I need to "Reconnect the device in Samsung Keis (PC Studio)...). I try to define this in this, but the "USB" option is completly missing...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab

Hardware -P100.08

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSjagman:
Tried to return my wif xoom to stock with the official images and ran into a problem. Followed the steps :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img < this flashed Ok

fastboot flash system system.img < adb stuck waiting for xoom .. had to manual reboot the xoom.

Never got to the remaing steps.

Tried several times with the same result, almost. One time after manual reboot

came up with "RSD mode support 3". Had to do a hard reset to recover.

I ended up flashing Tiamet v1.4.0 again.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinkyz1979:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSjagman:
I waited about 10 minutes before the manual reboot. Is 'adb' required before the flash command? The 1st step took about 14sec and based on the size of the files, the system image should flash in less than a minute.

I'll research RSDLite 5.0. Thanks.

UPdate: Today I tried it again and was successful, Xoom now stock and locked.

For info:

boot.img took 15sec to flash

system.img 17 minutes

Recovery.img 20sec

Userdata.img 4 min

erase cache 1.5s

Hope this helps someone.

According to Trident this will be available in the next 2 weeks (Mid May) in a variety of colors. Pictured above is the newest "Ice" color.

You have to boot your HD2 into MAGLDR by holding the end/power button down while booting your HD2 up. When the MAGLDR menu comes up use the volume buttons to scroll down to option#5 USB Flasher and then connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer. When you see your HD2 listed as MAGLDR in safe to remove you can right click on the DAF and select run as administrator. I also think you have to have ActiveSync or WMDC (ActiveSync for XP, WMDC for Vista and Windoes 7)" installed on your computer for for USB drivers perposes.
