[Acer Iconia A500] IW4:
Having been a bit late to the A500 game (purchased in November), I was able to get the InvisibleSHIELD for $10 at Best Buy. I do wish I had thought to have them install it, as the bottom-left corner was apparently a little off, allowing it to flip up just enough to get caught on a piece of paper in my backpack as I was putting it in there. That corner's now lost all its tack, but once I get back stateside, I'll see if the warranty will cover something like that.

Other than that, and its proclivity to love fingerprints after typing for a while, I have not a complaint. Perhaps I'll look into the full-body next time.
[Acer Iconia A500] danbjorklund:
I bought the Belkin anti-glare protector for mine and so far it's been very nice, went on easy and no more fingerprints, the only downside is the display seems to be a bit grainy now but nothing that I would consider removing the screen protector for.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Thanks to this guy, I'll be getting this one. Nice!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
that one and mst look good and install about the same.

For me the big deal is over time they will get scratches and lines on them.I have skinomi protection on all my devices if it starts to look worn or you mess it up even if its totally your falt FAX them your recept.They next day put a new one im mail to you.then you send old one back in envelope.1 stamp required.

So you always have your device protected for life.
[Acer Iconia A500] szpaner6:
Dear,

Can anyone recomend me a good screen protector because I have bought glossy one and I am not satisfied - to much reflection and fingers on screen.

Now, I am thinking about matte screen protector, can you give opinions about this one, I have heard that with this screen is not so sensitive, it is true?

Thank you regards
[Acer Iconia A500] mashilu:
I bought the anti-glare one made by Acer. I don't think I could recommend it because it does make the screen looks dull. Less finger prints, however, thats a truth. But comparing to my wife's clear screen protector on her ipad, I much prefer the brightness it provides.
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
I have this and highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Y06OCU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

Just enough anti-glare without blurring or dimming the screen, and most important to me it's a dry install. And easy, at that. It's kind of a static cling type of thing with no sticky glue or such.

I like it so much I bought a couple others cuz I didn't get all the dust off the screen before putting it on the first time. Putting the second one on was better cuz the first one took those nasty dust particles with it. And removing the first was easy too.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/tablets/acer

I got one of these. Cost about 15 bucks with shipping to Canada. Install went well. Helps with fingerprints. You can also get a back skin for it if you want off of this site, I just got the front screen. This is my site of choice for skins.
[Acer Iconia A500] joliveto:
I got a zagg and it works really well with a stylus
[Acer Iconia A500] cynyr:
Acase ones

I got the acase three pack from amazon. Work well, a bit less smudgy than the glass and easy to clean kid fingerprints off of. Downside is enough glare to use as a mirror when the screen is off.
[Acer Iconia A500] alose:
I use an Armorsuit Militaryshield screen protector. It goes on wet, but when it dries you cannot tell it is there. I have had it for almost a year now. Highly recommended.

It cuts down on fingerprints and keeps a nice smooth feeling. The surface is self-healing so after a year of use, it still has no apparent scratches. It comes off non-sticky. Oh, and they have lifetime warranty.

[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this one, but it's excellent:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pack-S-Sh...295174?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bac67e46

Wet apply also, but if you just follow the instructions, you can't go wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] kevintstephens:
I have a ZAGG Invisible Shield. It works wonderfully. I have them on all of my electronic devices. They have some glare, but not as bad as the unprotected screen. Fingerprints are virtually nonexistent, but it is prone to some (albeit, very little) smudging. The screen quality has not decreased any and it really helps to improve the smooth feeling of the screen when sliding your finger across it.
[Acer Iconia A500] lawrex:
Skinomi is a good brand. I have them on A500, Kin2M and a Nook Tab. All have taken a beating from my kids and still looks good.
[Acer Iconia A500] GlassEyes:
My first post in this really great forum.....because this seems to be the only thread I could fins about the Panasonic cf-19.

They are great machines, but locked up with Windows OS....has or will anyone develop android for a cf-19.

Seems like if a cell phone and many other tablets can have Android these things should have it too.

The new ones are way expensive, but the 2 year old mk-4's are not much more than an unlocked cell phone....they have Gobi

and need Android. i think they would be faster.
[Acer Iconia A500] LazySmerf:
Personally I couldn't see spending $30+ on a protector either, I have (at the time it was new) one of the best screen android phones on the markets (SGS Vibrant), and never had the need for 1. However I wanted to buy the Adonit Jot classic and they recommended using a protector. So I went cheap and found a product with great reveiws and only $5 shipped for a 3 pack. I put the 1st one on with only 2 little bubbles and still have 2 spares. does not really help with glare, however fingerprints are down, and the display is still great. It was real sticky at first however after a week if wiping it down every couple of hours, it like glass.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CL106U/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

There is the exact same item, from the exact same seller. still only $4.07.
[Acer Iconia A500] GateCityRadio:
I currently don't have one on my a500...if I'm not mistaken these do have gorilla glass right? I keep screen protectors on my phones mostly because they are in my pocket and I would like to protect them at work as well. I bought some ebay screen protectors for my a500 but ended up ruining two trying to put them on...then kept bubbling up and it was impossible to keep dust out during the process. I had no problem putting protectors on my phones, but maybe it's because this is a much larger screen? Is there a place you can take tablets and phones and have a screen protector put on?
[Acer Iconia A500] NeoH4x0r:
I had the same problem with bubbling for the first screen protector that I got from best buy. I bought the second one from them and had some one in the geek squad department install it -- I believe they charged me an additional $15 for the install, but it got installed properly with no bubblin, and was done in just a few minutes.
[Acer Iconia A500] ogram:
I have the Zag, too. Love it. Not much glare, and it protects like you wouldn't believe. Also, Easy to clean & keep clean. I got mine at a mall in one of the kiosks for $19.99 + tax and the guy installed it for free. Took about 15 minutes. Would have been faster, but the guy was alone and they were busy. Perfect install. Couldn't have done it better.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Probably not the most popular answer here:

I hate screen protectors. Had my Acer Iconia a500 since about two weeks after US release. Used it for over a year now, outside, inside, while smoking, with dirty hands, as a video display unit at merch tables for bands I work with - sure, my screen gets nice and dirty after some use. Standard lens cleaner solution and a microfiber cloth - thing is good as new. Have not managed a single scratch on that Gorilla glass yet.

Just feels like a waste of cash. And I have a hard time believing that a mm or two of polycarb plastic is going to matter much (if at all) when it comes to dropping the unit or exposing the screen to something really sharp.

It's not like you are storing your a500 in your pocket. Not like it is going to take abuse from being smashed up against keys or coins for hours.

My vote is to save your money on a accessory that actually does something. Not to mention the fact that any particle of dust or dirt that is hanging out on your screen prior to slapping a screen protector on it is now going to be trapped between the glass and the plastic. Just sounds like a crappy idea.

Or go with a ZAAG. They pay %20 commission to *anyone* who wants to resell their stuff. :P

It's Gorilla glass. It is much *much* harder then a dogs nails. I have two games for my tablet that are designed for my cats to play (If you have never snagged CAToy and are a tablet and cat owner, you simply must try it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.interlink.CAToy_Lite&hl=en).

I have a adult cat and a kitten that have slammed their paws and claws down on my screen probably a few hundred thousand times over the last year, and after a quick cleaning with lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth, screen looks just as good as the day I unboxed my a500.

Screen protectors almost make sense to me for a non Gorilla glass device that is going to be in your pocket all day. But for a tablet? Seems rather silly.

How often do you find yourself rubbing diamonds against your screen? :facepalm:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatininbed:
So, I'm using Google Voice to talk to a bunch of people via text.. but they don't have my Verizon number. I'm wondering if there is a way to route individual people so that when I call them, they see my Voice number.

I know that I can make it so that my phone asks which I'd like to use for every call I make, but is there a way so that if I call X person it goes through voice, but if I call everyone else in my contact list it goes through my Verizon number.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pkmn760:
Yes there is, when you call/recieve a text using your google voice number.. a routing number shows up. This number is unique to everyone. (When you call it briefly shows it at the top of the screen)

Save this number and if you text or call it directly from your cell phone (no google voice) your google voice number will show up. So save this routing number for whoever you want to call with google voice only.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melombine:
I'm new here. I recently bought my first Android device, Samsung Galaxy S. And i absolutely love it, it's so fresh and so so open when compared to iPhone series.

I kept it for few days, and after lurking out i found out about rooting the device.

So i decided to root it. Everything went smoothly, and it is fully functional.

Now as i got it rooted, i can install custom roms! Now, i don't really know which one to choose, the things i look for a rom are mostly;

Stability

Speed

Low battery drainage...?

And that it looks slick and nice :3

Not looking forward to overclock it or anything really. I just don't like the original iPhone clone :V I'd also like to have a clue how to install them (Odin?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadey3:
Every ROM page have their own installation guide but all of them are pretty much the same

As for ROMs u have to try them yourself, every user has different experience

i recommend using Juwe's, Debus G1, Tiramisu EVO,

than top it off with Crysis SENSATION :D

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
It's difficult. Almost everyone has their own favourite ROM, and it can be very difficult to actually compare performance. When I first stared, I simply picked a ROM with the most attractive looking screenshots. (It was Tayumata).

Hey, I have a very queer problem with my O1, recently, whenever I do anything - turn on data connection, touch a check box or something, even when I shoot a bird in Angry Birds - I get a message saying Updating Media files. It doesn't do anything AFAIK, but it's VERY irritating. I think this happened when I put the Scan Media toggle in Extended Widgets and used it - the light under the toggle is now permanently turned on. Any idea how I can fix this? I'm running void ROM.

[Droid X General] ehosteda:
Hello everyone,

I am in a dilemma of sorts. Currently, I own the HTC Droid Eris. While I enjoyed this phone for a while, it is really starting to show its age. Currently I am running the GSB gingerbread rom, and while that made it a little more bearable, my patience for the phone is running thin. It has problems playing a lot of the games out there right now, so I am itching to get a new phone.

That said, I have an upgrade available, and I was wondering if it is worth it to get the Droid X. My girlfriend has one, and I really like that large screen of it, and it seems like it is a pretty snappy phone.

My question to you is, should I get the X? I was looking at the Incredible 2, and I like that as well. Is it better?

Or should I wait for some of the newer phones that are coming out?

Thanks in advanced! I am confused on what I should do.

- Will
[Droid X General] joebob296:
Personally I would not get the DX it is reaching its EOL soon. I would get a newer phone and one with an unlocked boot loader. That being said look for a phone with the features that you prefer ie touch or hard buttons, screen size whatever you prefer.

Thanks for all of your help guys, I think I am going to just wait it out especially if...

this is true. I think I can wait for a month. My Eris isn't THAT bad :P

I appreciate all of your input!
[Droid X General] chbennett:
If at all possile wait. The DX is great but it is starting to fall behind the newer phones. Considering it is a two year comittiment, start on the current technology, not the technology from nearly a year ago.

Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
No it doesn't. The droid bionic was going to have a dual core but it was decided not to release it. The specs of the DX2 are exactly the same as the DX, except that it has more RAM and a 2gb sdcard instead of the 16gb
[Droid X General] gc14:
Actually, they're going to release the Bionic, just not when they said they would. They're "enhancing" it and releasing it possibly this summer or fall, though they could just stick the Bionic name to the Targa we've been hearing about too.

Another note about the DX2 is that while it's specs may be pretty good, dual-core and everything, it STILL lacks one very important detail that the Bionic was slated to include...4G LTE. The DX2 is a no-go on 4G, don't ask me why. Personally, I wouldn't buy a phone these days without a 4G radio. Maybe if 1 year contracts were around I would CONSIDER it, but buying a phone now with no 4G and then having to wait 22 months before I can get another (subsidized) is just not practical.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
Get any phone with a Qaulcomm CPU, it's far better than anything Motorola is selling.

I have nothing against Motorola or Samsung (Samsung CPU's are better than Motorola, but Samsung is reluctant to issue updates when bugs/issues are discovered, I don't know why).

The Qualcomm CPU's even the older ones are superior in performance even at lower clock speeds, they are doing a better job engineering than either Motorola or Samsung.

I'm stuck with a Droid X for 2 years - I'm not complaining, I didn't pay for it, it does have a very nice screen, but if I were to buy a new phone it would be one with a Qualcomm (snapdragon) CPU.

Good Luck.
[Droid X General] crobs808:
GolfnWrx is trolling all the DroidX threads and telling people that Qualcomm CPUs are better, regardless of what the original post is. Come on man, this is so lame.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I do not believe that Outlaw Biker Knew that the G2x is MUCH faster than just a dual core Motorola processor would be. It's a dual core Nvidia processor and a single core NVida is almost twice as fast as the Motorola.

My best recommendation would be an HTC phone like Thunderbolt. It's newer, 4G and very fast, or if you are trying to save $, then go with an Optimus - both are Android, the Thunderbolt costs more and the Optimus costs less, but both outperform my Droid X.

Its not exactly the same for instance the glass from the SGS you have to swipe from the arrows. The glass from SGS2 you can hold it anywhere and swipe. The clock is different i believe it has active notifications.
