[G Tablet General] regalpimpin:
First thing I would check on the Clock would be have you installed a task killer? Make sure you ignore the clock in that app if you have.

Is it a widget thats not updating, or the clock in the status bar? I've had all my widgets just stop updating before. They all had to just be removed, and re-added.

For music I would recommend PlayerPro for locally saved files.

Really the best music app though is Subsonic. You install on your pc, and then the app on the tab, you can stream or download any of the music on your pc from anywhere. Even better is the server thats running on the pc also creates a web interface which can be accessed from any web browser on any machine.

For video, I've had the best luck with Rockplayer.

And lastly, don't worry about benchmarking. It provides a number but doesnt really do anything. Especially with gingerbread, theres no hardware drivers, so all it's gonna do is dissapoint you.

If you must.. The main ones are antutu, quadrant, and linpack.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
Anyone else have an issue where "Check for Updates" is 100% non-functional? Since I first got the phone, checking for updates always results in the window vanishing and nothing happening. My girlfriend's Thunderbolt always pops up a window saying no updates available. Today when the OTA finally rolled out, her phone picked it right up when I checked for updates. My phone still sits there like it's staring at a wall confused. I've done probably ten factory resets since I got the phone and it maintained the same behaviour each time. Is this a hardware issue or am I not clearing something that the factory reset does not get? Not really a dealbreaker as I can update through HBOOT, but annoying to say the least.
[Thunderbolt General] flyodd:
I'm having the same issue. Well explained btw.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
You are probably in a non-4G area and the problem is due to eHRPD. Revert to revision A and then try to update and see if it is any better.

eHRPD has issues... (though Verizon keeps claiming they've fixed it).
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
I have the same problem and it happens on 4g too. If I press the check for updates button enough it will tell me network isn't available when it is
[Thunderbolt General] Busphan:
Keep trying, I was getting the same message and decided to continue try to search for updates, and now have the update. Well, it is downloading anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
Been trying for about seven hours now, nothing.
[Thunderbolt General] Busphan:
Sorry to hear that bro, are you rooted? I did glance at you op again and we were having different results. You said your update search window would disappear, but mine would say network not available. I also apologize for misleading you. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware problem, probably more of a software one. But if you really want to I would just root and get the update from jcase's thread or if that isn't the route you want to take maybe Verizon can help. I know, I know, they normally don't but you never know.
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
I may just go ahead and root. That way my inability to update would be a "feature" and no longer a bug.
[Thunderbolt General] Busphan:
Root is definitely the way to go as long as you've done your homework. If you haven't taken this step before make sure you read through everything and understand what you are doing before proceeding. If you have any problems or questions feel free to pm me.
[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
I am having the same exact issue. I even tried manually updating the update.zip file and I keep getting an operation error and phone just reboots. Any ideas why this is happening?
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
if you are manually doing it the file needs to be in the root of your sd card and named PG05IMG.zip
[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
Will my device be wiped if I use that instead it update.zip?
[Thunderbolt General] thafngame24:
By doing this, will it wipe my phone or will everything still be intact (like the true ota update)? I still havent received the update and everytime i hit the check new on my phone, the box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now but then quickly just disappears. It seems like it it not fully connecting to servers to check for an update. It has been doing this since day 1 and im getting the feeling I will never receive this update over the air.
[Xoom General] gdogmcstyles:
Being that this dev community is the absolute best, I have to bring this to light.

Google Movie Support has just informed me that Google Movies will not work for rooted XOOMs. This just won't fly.

Is there anyone out there working on a fix or workaround for this?

I'd love root. I love movies. We shouldn't have to choose between the two.
[Xoom General] dscribe:
I feel ya bro, and I'm pretty sure the devs are already looking into it. Since it is a DRM authorization issue, it is probably going to be a pretty good hack to get around it.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I'm confused by 2 things on this topic:

1) why does it matter if its rooted or not?

I would assume the answers is because root would allow us some magical privledge of copying a cache and possibly extracting video and then redistributing.

2) how the frig can it tell?
[Xoom General] bishop72:
that is why i cannot watch green hornet. i rented it to see how it would look on the xoom and it will not play :(
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
My guess is either one of: (1) checking for the ro.secure property being set, or (2) doing something "rootable", like being able to read a certain file/directory, etc.

If in the former case, I don't have an idea of what to do that wouldn't require the HC source, but in the case of the latter, it'd be relatively easy to ... wait- don't let me help El Goog out. It's not rocket science (think rootkit, but in reverse).
[Xoom General] JeffR714:
Well instead of listening I tried it as well with The Green Hornet and couldn't download it. Kept getting error but these developers will come up with the answers they have been nothing short of amazing when it comes to the Moto Xoom
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Assuming scenario 2, wouldn't Super User prompt for permissions? I would think its likely.
[Xoom General] opsahl:
This is the same with the blockbuster app on the Atrix. I can set SU to block requests from the app, but as long as I'm running rooted, it refuses to play (and tells you when you launch the app).

I don't understand the difference between this and running Itunes or Netflix on a "rooted" (admin capable) PC. Why is the phone different?
[Xoom General] theimpaler747:
This is not development. Moved to general.
[Xoom General] opsahl:
Your forum, you run it your way, just a question. :)

With all due respect, couldn't OP remain if modified to [REQUEST] since it's a dev request? General is so filled with crap I think this may get lost. :/
[Xoom General] rebill:
So did you still get charged for it? The wifi version won't even get the movies for awhile. I don't know why Google doesn't have it ready for both.
[Xoom General] mhausig:
It isn't very surprising to hear. None of the major studios will allow media to be downloaded without some form of restrictive DRM and root access probably violates their policies.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
? I saw the movie link in Web version of Market.
[Xoom General] cur8or:
Yeah, you can order/get charged for it but it won't work. Need to contact customer service to get a refund. They told me they'll consider putting in a warning in the future before you buy it.
[Xoom General] rebill:
Would make more sense for it to check if you're rooted before the transaction goes through.
[Xoom General] nbajwill55:
Nice Google, what a great way to pit the development community against you, even though Android would be nothing without us. Sellout.
[Xoom General] Kozdoba:
Strange, I have unlocked and rooted Nexus One and could play any Netflix video in official Netflix app, so DRM works on rooted system. So may be it's problem with something else?
[Xoom General] gerald410:
If you order thru your web browser by going to the web based android market and play it thru your web browser it works.
[Xoom General] JeffR714:
Thanks for the tip on the browser market thing it works
[Xoom General] husker91:
Lol you're an idiot. It isn't googles fault they had to do this. If you were selling movies and wanted to make some money, would you want them to be distributed for free without your permission? I think not...
[Xoom General] Dubar:
confirming this now. I could not watch movies this way the day 3.1 came out, so I think it might be because of flash 10.3?

edit: movie actually opens in youtube, with all the HD quality/smoothness of their other movies
[Xoom General] kelvie:
Yeah, they had to have done that.

The other argument (not arguing one way or the other personally) is that people would pirate it anyway so it shouldn't matter.
[Xoom General] double1:
Don't care. Want Netflix.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sjoe1492:
I was flashing the new rmk sense rom today, and in the middle of the zip flashing the phone turned off. Now all the phone does is vibrate. I pulled the battery, tried to get into bootloader. Nothing happens to the phone the screen is black, it just vibrates 7 times and does nothing. It isnt even recognized by adb. HELP
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slicknick27:
What screen protector are you using/plan on using? I got the zagg for the Incredible 2 as I don't think there's too many made for the phone yet aside from on eBay. It's my first zagg, and its alright. Would prefer something less sticky feeling though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
Gorilla Glass. No screen protector needed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsweetness:
Maybe not for fear of scratches, but one is definitely still desirable to help keep the buildup of various gunk on the screen down. All of those skin oils from fingers and the side of one's face add up over time, not to mention if the user has makeup, hairspray, hair gel, or any other number of products that get on the screen. If all of that isn't promptly cleaned off, it can become increasingly difficult to remove.

I'm considering picking up an Incredible 2, and if I do, I'll be picking this up:

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Ultimate-Screen-Guard-Incredible/dp/B004XC6LMM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1305296213&sr=8-2

After years of using every type of screen protector known to man, I've found Seidio's to be some of the easiest to apply (and reapply if necessary), they don't reduce the "feel" or touch sensitivity of the screen, and they last (the packages typically come with two, but I've never had to replace the first one I put on). I used them on my Droid X and currently have one on my Droid Pro.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slicknick27:
I will take a look at that one thanks. I agree I feel like a screen protector is worthwhile just in case. I removed the zagg though and am using the one that came with the otterbox case now, which has a texture nearly identical to the bare screen. I didn't like the slight tackiness of the feel on the zagg.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsteenson:
Don't know about this phone, because I've only had it a couple of weeks. But based on 16 months experience with the original Motorola Droid, I'd give the screen a quick huff of breath to provide a little moisture then wipe away with a microfibre cloth. I could polish that sucker until it was like brand new with only a little effort. After 16 months that Droid screen is still as smooth, slick and damage-free as the new Inc2 screen fresh from the box.

If you want a screen protector go for it, but I seriously can't see any need or benefit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nayr1482:
I originally had the VzW screen protector that came with the "starter kit". It was an anti-glare style.

I hated it. It was only as big as the LCD so it did not cover the buttons or the top, etc...

The anti-glare washed the screen out IMO.

I ended up ordering the Seido ones bsweetness mentions above - I could not be happier!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
Currently have the one from VZW that is the anti-glare one. Probably the same one nayr and others have had. I don't have any issues with it, but I may be a bit more forgiving I guess.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Never used a screen protector on my Eris. It never had a scratch on the display. It was very easy to give it a quick wipe if needed. I had used keys on my Eris' display to show people why screen protectors really aren't all that better than a bare display.

The tempered glass on the I2 is much better than what was on my Eris. I still don't use a screen protector. I've taken a blade to the glass and it wouldn't scratch. It's easy to wipe off. No special cloth or cleaner required for typical use. Occasional cleaner might be needed with rough use.

Nothing will protect your display from a drop. That's my only worry.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zanix:
I use Seidio screen protectors for my DroidX and my wife's Inc2 and I have been very happy with them

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/spm1htncs.htm

It's so clear that I don't even remember that I have a protector on sometimes

I buy the 2-pack just in case, I still haven't used the second one for my DroidX
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Realook is hands down the best screen protectors i've used. It's too bad that they don't make it for the inc 2 yet.

They're completely invisible when applied, they feel exactly like the glass. I ended up purchasing the zagg invisible shield even though I hate how they "stick" when you try and use the phone. Although it gets better when you use it over time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
I think i'm just going to do without one untill a realook is available. Those things are the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to screen protectors.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brwetz:
Zagg InvisibleShield. 100%

(i work for Best Buy so I'm biased)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Check out the Carbon Fiber Skin!

Their screen protectors are pretty badass too.

http://www.skinomi.com/htcdrin2p.html
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
otter box commuter case, naked screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I don't care for cases, but that carbon fiber one I might actually consider.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I feel the same way about skins, but that has me reconsidering. Take a good look at the edges of the raised areas though-where there are seams. They're easier to see in the silver version, but I think it would look better in the black...

Sorry this is a little off-topic
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mogul-Motions:
I have a full skinomi carbon fiber skin on my gTablet and it worked out great. So, I decided to get the skinomi screen protector for my Dinc2. It turned out HORRIBLE.

Skinomi sent me replacements 2 separate times and each one was defective. I tried out the Clarivue screens and I'm really happy with them. They stick extremely well and are like glass. Yes, you have finger prints but doesn't bother me.

clarivue.com/htc-incredible-2-screen-protector.html
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] acdaazn:
SGP just released their Inc2 films. Sadly only UC and UF. No UOptics or UOleo. Seriously considering it just to make the metal/glass edge not as steep...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] matterrr:
I just received both the anti glare and the crystal boxwave protectors after a lot of deliberation. to those using the verizon antiglare protectors who are afraid of the rainbow effect of ag screen protectors, don't hesitate to get the boxwave antiglare. The rainbow effect is barely noticeable. Very happy with these protectors (enough to actually post in this forum).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
When I had my D1, people always asked me how I kept my screen safe. I laughed, mentioned gorilla glass, and then pummeled the screen with my key. The look of horror on their face was priceless, almost as good as the amazement when I showed them that the screen was fine. That's why I never understood the whole rugged thing. I mean, my little buddy was a champ, and all I used was the standard hard case Vzw gave me. Of course, I haven't tried that with my Dinc2 yet, seeing as I've had it less than a month, but I can imagine a similar result. That hasn't stopped me from getting a screen protector this time around, though :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Do you'd understand my amazement at a giant gouge in the screen from God knows what on the first day I got it. Now i finally put one on. Not as brave as you anymore
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Golgotha theskull:
I got the universal screen protectors from wally world. U was wondering can the go over the bln at the bottom
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moviemogul:
I use the screen protector that is on my Otterbox Defender
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrew1263:
Does anyone have ghost armor? If you do or have had it, what are your thoughts on it? I like how the people at the mall put it on for you and there is lifetime warranty..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbatch:
I've used Ghost Armor on 3 different phones and my wife has it on hers. I just got my inc2 and plan on getting it put on as soon as I can get to the mall. I love the feel of it and it cleans up like a champ!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrew1263:
Thanks for the reply! Guess I'll be heading to the mall once I get my phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Golgotha theskull:
I'm using offer box commuter and I love it not thick at all
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Vaporsilver:
I just got one for the wife from Steinheil's eBay site. It's the UltraFine one for fingerprints and such. It fits like a glove and she says she can barely even tell it's on there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I'm now using the one built into my Otterbox Defender. Took my old one off since it was damaged anyway when I got the Otterbox..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
I currently have the Steinheil Ultra Fine screen protector. Amazing feel, no smudges. However, when there is a white background it is very easy to see the film and kinda bothers me sometimes but pretty unnoticeable on other screen colors. I still like it though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
I bought NakedShield from ebay and its by far the best screen protector i've had and I've gone through a lot. $5 and worth every penny

Exactly like Ghost Armor except smooth and not sticky.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Hey, how did that work out for you?

I'm really curious how the fit is around the bends and corners.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Ghost armor fits very well and for $25 it should. Probably comes down to whether the installer is any good. I just don't trust their dehydration system and for $5 on ebay i get the same thing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbatch:
I loved the fit on my droid x for the full body, but at the same time I wasn't to pleased with the fit on the fascinate for the body. The screen protectors themselves are great, perfect fit everytime.

I'm planning on getting just the screen done for my inc 2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Any chance you could post some pics?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blkhwk5177:
I use xtremeguard on all my phones ,i buy them off ebay they are excellent.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blkhwk5177:
I forgot to mention xtremeguard screen protectors are not expensive they run about $4 or $5
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Kaze105:
I use Steinhell Ultra Fine. Although its kinda expensive, I found it the best protector ever. Feel a lot better than something like invisibleshield and a lot smoother. Cleanly goes on and off and stays on excellently.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
Ghost Armour is similar to the Zagg in design and installation, but it doesn't have that tacky, sticky feel to it.

My finger glides across it as if nothing were there!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phony01:
It was my understanding that the incredible 1 had gorilla glass. If this is true, then gorilla glass is scratchable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
@phony01 To my understanding, some batches of Gorilla Glass aren't as good as others.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
My Otterbox Commuter broke today. I didn't even drop it. The part by the volume buttons broke. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good case that looks good, is strong enough to handle a drop, and isn't huge. Also, my screen procector is starting to get scratched up and I was wondering which one you would suggest?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-INCREDIBLE-...321033?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item415b0afd09

My favorite. Best one I've ever installed on my phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rudyutz:
Does it have that sticky feeling? What kind of case do you use?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
No sticky feeling (hate those screen protectors) and I run both the Verizon Case/Holster combo with the kickstand and also the clear back, black rubber side bumper case some times.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
SGP

Yall are nuts! SGP all day! Havnt got the inc2 in the mail and already ordered one!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I got these screen protectors from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004WET96Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1313417389&sr=8-1 i used to have a regular clear protector, but I decided to get these anti glare and anti fingerprint ones. These are way better than the regular and feels great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moviemogul:
Just got my SGP Ultra Anti Fingerprint. I popped the ****ty screen protector out of my OB case, and now have the best of both worlds, Anti-Glare and Otterbox protection!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I was thinking about getting those, but from pics it looks like it covers the front facing camera, can you confirm?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moviemogul:
Get the SGP Ultra Fine, that's what it's called. It has fantastic light transmission, and is anti-fingerprint, and has a cutout for the FFC.

My install was slightly off center, butt with the Ottterbox on, you can't tell
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
They seem to make some of the best protectors, but for the price I wish they gave you more than one. Its often common to mess up installing them.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddgarcia05:
Wow, I got my SGP Ultra Crystal Clear screen protector and I gotta say its a pain to wipe down the screen of a fingerprint. On my incredible using Realook I would simply wipe off the majority of prints with the side of my thumb. With SGP's SP it'll just leave a huge smudge which looks worse than the fingerprint did. I'll deal with it for now but I've already emailed Realook to see if they are going to make incredible 2 screen protectors.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Darkpsych0:
Although I didn't really mess up, I got alittle dust under the screen just used tape to get it out. Pretty easy to get on and remove as well as I have 0 air bubbles. And it comes with 2 in the package.

And I don't have any problem with smudges with mine.. that's weird. And even if I did i'd take the wipe cloth that came with it or my shirt to clear it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
Im going to try one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Incredibl...T96Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313687124&sr=8-1

I currently have a generic one on there. And while it works just fine, it is a finger print magnet that ends up making the phone look like an oily mess. Hopefully the reviews on this one are true.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moviemogul:
I am still loving my Ultra Fine. VERY highly recommended
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Lagos3sgte:
Don't bother with this one. Its good at being anti glare and finger print, but the reduction in image quality is awful.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] smadonna1986:
i use the one i got with my otterbox case
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edoubledizzle:
They come with 2 in each package.
