I scrached it with sand so easy and once it felt on flor and got deep and wide scraches on glass and small bumps on metal. When screen is off I can see scraches easy.
[Desire General] glumardok:
I confirm: absolutely no scratches. NO. Not big, not micro. None. Niente. Nada. Nirwana. Gar Nix. Rien du tout. :-)
[Desire General] chris3cr:
And if they aren't noticeable under normal light what does it matter :)
[Desire General] langers1:
My 1st desire arrived the day after orange put them on sale, so it was one of the 1st. After 2 weeks of keeping it in my suit pocket the screen had some nice scratches on it (probably from a lighter). So I would say all ways have a protector on it, in my case a Zagg which went on my 2nd desire, 1st one got sent back as it was playing up later to be found out it was due to using some power saving app, least the replacement arrived with no scratches and the zagg went straight on.

Someone should do this to their Desire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2EYnUGUti0

Until then, I do not believe this has gorilla glass.
[Desire General] musvi:
:eek:omg!!!! thats brutal!!!
[Desire General] musvi:
thanks all for helping me to determine weather should i use my desire with or without screen protector....

so the bottom line is our desire actually doesn't have gorilla glass screen and it is not advised from most of u that not to use without screen protector...
[Desire General] vnvman:
Well, tbh i don't know wether it's gorilla glass or not...what i do know about that kind of glass is that it offers a good resistance when you try to break it, and it's overall more durable, otherwise it's like any kind of scratch resistant glass. This said, there's plenty of vids on youtube showing gorilla glass getting scratched (like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimSyAIuDoI&feature=youtube_gdata_player), so why risking it, i'd say ;)
[Desire General] Oqudsi:
I'm fairly certain its not Gorilla Glass since I've got a couple fairly big scratches through normal use.
[Desire General] Philko:
Same here, I've been using it since april 2010 and there are no scratches!

Well, if the scratches are so small one cannot see them under normal conditions then I wouldn't care about them at all...
[Desire General] vnvman:
Well it still means that it can be scratched: if it falls face down on gravel you can be quite sure you'll get something noticeable ;)

Also, maybe tiny scratches won't annoy you, but for sure they will affect screen durability...i mean it could crack more easily you know.

Hey man, i don't wanna be a ****, i just wanna say that all of the superduper hax glass powered devices i had or stumbled across in my long phone nerd career got scratched sooner or later...but hey, at the end of the story it's your baby, not mine :D
[Desire General] esk02k:
Also its kind of pot luck wether you get a good qualitly screen protector.

I bought mine for like £2 for 6 and they show scratches after a week

whereas my friends ones, which were also bought from ebay for a similar price do not

show one scratch in months, and hes a bmx rider and his phone goes through alot

more than mine. All his friends with iphones have cracked screens so its stronger than

that at least. Ill always use a screen protector anyway, gorilla glass or not.
[Desire General] schhh87:
people...google it. here is a link. my desire has no scratches at all, and i hate screen protectors. i like my phone pure - without anything on it. all the best

I cannot post links, so go to the corning gorilla glass and see the products ;)
[Desire General] kokocabana:
the desire definitely does not have gorilla glass. it is very odd that corning who makes gorilla glass says that the desire does have it though that is incorrect as htc has said it does not. i had my desire without a case for a few weeks and it has 2 micro scratches that can only be seen when you shine a light on it while the screen is off. i hate the feel of screen protectors so i just have a plastic case for it and i haven't seen any new scratches on it for over a year.
[Desire General] leod_UK:
er...just buy a case, no screen protectors needed. My Desire is 12 months old and not a mark on it. Case I use hardly adds any bulk whatsoever.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan_mc:
I rooted my SNS with gingerbreak .apk first ... then I unlocked it ... then I changed it's kernel by kernel manager .apk ... so far everything was good ...

then I installed clockwork recovery 3.0.0.0 by rom manager ... after that I installed a rom ... everything in that rom was good but wifi did not turn on.

I changed so many roms but it does not work.

My SNS is i9023 KB3 ... when it was ok the build number was GRI54 and now it is GRI40 or once it became GRJ22 ... I think maybe it is related to this ...

please please help me ... I am going mad ... :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
First, go through your wifi settings and make sure everything is in order. Try deleting your saved wifi details and reconnecting to them. If it doesn't work, flash a Nandroid if you made one or find a stock one for your original build on these forums.

Unfortunately I did not make a back up from my original rom ....

For me it was first GRI54 and now it is GRI40 ... I think that is the reason why the wifi does not work.

By the way my bluetooth turns on but it can not send or receive any data
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
If you installed the stock 2.3.3 rom and are still having wifi issues go into recovery do a compete wipe of data (Everything), then wipe the cache, install the stock rom again then let check if it's still not working.

Now it is the stock rom 2.3.3 .... baseband version is i9023xxkb3 and build number is GRI40 ....

I tried to install another kernel and I did it through recovery but it did not change ... I do not know why ... it remains as it was before ... it is this:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashkan_mc:
I did this too but again nothing ... it is so strange :confused:

when I am in recovery, these messages come up :

but I can flash different roms .... but radio and kernel so far no :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
Try updating your recovery from rom manager.

I tried to change radio and kernel but I couldn't do that .... I don't know why ... when I can change rom why I can't change radio or kernel ???

I think something is wrong with the recovery and I can not change it too :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
Can you go into fastboot? From there you can erase everything and start fresh. Then you can flash a new recovery from there. If you know how to do that then I suggest giving it a try, if not then I'd avoid that and try and find another alternative.

No, I do not know how to flash a new recovery file which is a .img file from the old recovery. Could you please tell me how?

You go to H-boot with the recovery.img in the root of usb storage, from there it'll prompt you to flash it from H-boot.

Your android os cannot 'catch a virus' from your windows os. However, some viruses/malware have been known to be able to 'infect' storage devices (thumb drives, etc.) which are attached. Such a device could potentially 'reinfect' your windows os after it has been cleaned. Your android phone can potentially act as a such a storage device in this scenario.

i will second that. once i stopped watching donkey porn all my virus problems went away...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
Donkey Porn is best watched on a stolen iPhone.

Anyways, now-a-days it's mostly malware that turns your PC into a bot (spam, DDoS drone, etc.) and/or steals data. And wormy stuff. And most people get malware by inadvertently allowing it to be installed (and oftentimes even granting it the privledges it needs when the UAC popup comes along). Sometimes it's attached to installers, too (like those god-damned IE toolbars, lol).

Moreover, self-replicating files that multiply by appending themselves to MS-DOS .COM/.EXE files have pretty much been eliminated by protected memory managers (and the fact that no one is using MS-DOS). Even if your "infection" were a cross-platform hybrid worm, it would be highly unlikely that it would "infect" your cell-phone.

You're more likely to get malware on your phone by downloading warez or something.

Good luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenisnotchosen:
Whatever you do for your PC please,I repeat PLEASE, do not take it to Geek Squad. They are the absolute worst choice for computer repair. I have a computer business and every client I have that took their system to Geek Squad took it home in worse condition than they dropped it off. In addition to a complete lack of knowledge they charge outrageous prices. Broken hinges on a laptop was quoted at $400+. $15 and one day later they were happy as can be. As for he virus, hey are different operating systems. A virus written for a 32 bit Windows platform will not be able to infect an Android operating system. Just like you couldn't take Windows Media Player from your Windows PC and run it on your Android. Programs don't work that way. Your phone will be fine unless it installs on your PC to transfer itself through HTC Sync to your phone being written for Android OS. However that's about as likely as getting a virus when running Ubuntu Linux. Just get your PC cleaned up. Try Avast Antivirus or Trojan Removed trial. The main problem with viruses now-a-days is a lot of times they trash Windows networking components so removing the virus makes your system worse in a way. Data back-up, format, and re-install is the safest option for your system. And be sure to scan any data backed up as most any file type can contain a virus, including but not limited to MP3s, documents, AVIs, DLLs, and many others. Good luck my friend.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaka1:
Hi guys right now i am using CallsUnLtd to use my Vonage landline a/c to make international calls from my Atrix. But problem is that this app uses my ATT local minutes to make calls (as it calls my Vonage number and then my calls are diverted). So I was wandering if is there any app which lets me use my googletalk a/c or Skype credits to call though Vonage a/c from my atrix ATT dataplan to save my ATT minutes.

or if someone is familiar with callsuntld, then I have one question about Callsuntld App for android; if I can use my sky credit which enables me to call to any USA number for free in this app to save my local carrier minutes which are getting used when I call through this app.

Any help will be really appreciated.

[Vibrant General] dilluj:
Hi,

Yesterday I saw toxic 7 ROM and went ahead to flash it. I odin'ed my phone to stock before flashing this rom. After flashing this rom I restored my apps using titanium back up and re-booted. It worked fine for a while and then every thing went downhill from there. I have started feeling the ROM was slow and getting FCs on many apps. So I flashed Bionix 1.3.2 test ROM. It was also giving me FCs on any apps trying to read sd card. So I odin'ed again to stock and flashed Bionix and still getting sd card read error. Strangely if I use file explorer or root explorer I am able to see the files on my sd card. For example I can see a music file thru file explorer but music player can't read it. If I try to play a music file from explorer I get a sd card error.

Can anybody help me?????

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] abats:
Same issue here, have to get a widget to turn of the wifi. How can they oversee such simple things?

Also sometimes the power button just randomly lights up when its in sleep mode, it's a small light but very anoying if it's dark in the room (e.a on your bed stand).
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Okay - Good to hear it's not just me then. But not so good in general.

If you're reading this thread, try it out. Set the wi-fi to disabled when the screen is off then email yourself from another computer and wait for the notification on your tablet. Or get a friend to email you a minute or so after you've turned your screen off (with wi-fi disabled on screen off)

You can reset the policy after.

If you get the notification then your wifi didn't disable while the screen is off like the setting is supposed to do.
[Acer Iconia A500] sgdossey:
mine is NOT giving me issues, but I have found that it can take up to 10 minutes for the wifi to go off. I just used ping to test it. In some cases it took a while but did turn off. My battery doesn't really go down at all when in standby with wifi off when screen off.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Updated OP
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Hi, I just ran these tests and unfortunately I can't reproduce your results.

When I disable wifi, I don't have any data connection.

As for wifi sleep, I don't know if it's a bug or intentional but it seems to put wifi into an extremely low power mode, but not necessarily disable it or turn it off when using the sleep policy.

As someone mentioned somewhere in this thread, it looks like wifi has some sort of 'cooldown' period until it turns the chip and process off completely.

I have used Wifi sleep and played Pandora and had Pandora play for hours until it finally disconnected.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
The problem is that Background Data and Sync ignore the wi-fi policy meaning that the settings to disable wi-fi don't actually disable wi-fi, they just block applications from using wi-fi. The OS can still use it and it still drains power.

That basically means you can never disable wi-fi unless you go in and change multiple settings. The wi-fi policy when the screen is off is useless. Any toggle wi-fi widget you put on the page don't work.

Manually refreshing gmail shows 'no connection' - browser wont connect. But the OS can still get your email and download attachments. Relegating any wi-fi policy to a 'user stop function', not a 'data stop function'.

I have a toggle wi-fi widget on my home screen. I have wi-fi toggled off (also shows as off in settings) I *just* saw the widget flick on for a second, then flick back off. That's the Background data/ sync kicking in right there and that's my whole point.

Another point - if you have disabled wi-fi then turn it back on, it should be looking for the router and getting an IP address. It doesn't do that. When you turn it back on all it does is enable applications to connect. Meaning, when you disable it (via settings>disable wi-fi or disable wi-fi policy) all it does is make the software think you're not connected. It doesn't actually disconnect from the router.

It still shows in your routers wireless list (which it shouldn't if it's disconnected) and ping test will fail because it will refuse any incoming/outgoing requests that aren't from the OS (background data / sync)

If you wait for the background data/sync to connect, you can then ping your tablet and it will work. A security issue as far as I'm concerned.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miatawnt2b:
so I copied an album to the music folder, everything played perfectly. My filenames were incorrect, (missing track numbers) so I renamed three of the files so the music would be in the correct order.

I cleared the cache for the music player, and reloaded. When I select that album, teh songs are still in botched order (displaying old filenames) and it won't play the three songs I renamed most likeley because it's looking for old filenames.

I don't know what else to do other than clear cache, which I've done.
