Does the anti-glare cause 'noise' or skews the pixels of letters? That's one of my worries of getting one. Otherwise I'd have to stick with crystal clear.
[HTC Incredible S] andrewxu:
Also, does it hinder brightness? That'd kill battery life for me..
[HTC Incredible S] exaltedbladder:
So it's a choice between the screenprotective one and the boxwave one? The Screenprotective is US$4.29, comes with two and has free shipping worldwide but is missing the camera cutout. The Boxwave one has a singular option for 12.95 plus shipping and has the cutout. Hm...

How are your screen protectors holding up? Still tight against the screen? Do they make the screen dimmer by a lot? Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] rdann:
Is this true, there does appear to be some doubt about our phone having gorilla glass. The manufacture states on their web site that our phone has gorilla glass but it is not shown in the HTC spec.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
perhaps only the camera lens cover on the back is made from gorilla glass. i've heard this being the case with a few other phones.

fyi, i've just received the boxwave screen protector. it's great. yes, it lowers the brightness a bit because it's a bit grainy but this is the case with all matte protectors (i've tried a few). it's completely reusable so there's no need to buy two.
[HTC Incredible S] mmm4000:
For now I have only used a screen protector only on resistive touch devices. They decrease the quality of the screen pretty much is my experience especially under sunlight. This is the main advantage of a capacitive screen, it's made of glass and before you scratch it you'll break it. This is my and my friends experience with several brands of smartphones. So my advice to you is to save the money for a case to prevent scratches on the case because it seems that this is pretty likely to got damaged on the surface.
[HTC Incredible S] grupatnt:
Got the cheapest from ebay, had cut out for front camera. Survived for a year with lots of scratches but it was still readable under direct sunlight, just had to adjust viewing angle. I don't care if there is a drop in brightness as long as it protects my screen and reduces glare.

From the start you will still see some fingerprints, but the longer you will use it less prints you will see :)
[HTC Incredible S] kingchan123:
Since I've known that our phone has gorilla glass I removed the screen protectors. Until now, it do not has any scars :P:P:P
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Mine got scratched within the first week I had it while my screen protector was still coming from ebay :(

I purchased this Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset about two months ago and while it took a little getting used to, it compares favorably with the only other headset I've used, the Motorola HS850. The soft rubber ear channel and rigid/soft rubber hanger combo allows long term wearing. I sometimes forget it's on. The firmness of the control switch requires more than average pressure to toggle, but it's rigid construction far outweighs any comfort or ease of use concerns. The soft rubber ear piece channels the speaker's sound into the ear canal, and while not a tight fit provides clear and ample volume. In quiet environments the speaker volume can be lowered. The windscreen and noise cancellation features are adequate, but any microphone without a physical windscreen or advanced DSP noise cancellation will transmit "pink noise" to the listener in windy conditions. Excellent Battery life. While not timed, I charge once every 4-5 days with 2-3 hours talk time per day. If any one have issue with this Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset So shared it ....

Thanks,

Steve

I'm using this Plantronic Voyager 510 since few months ago but i have a issue with them.. its bettry life was not good... i used to talk 5-6 hours in a day and charged it regularly 4-5 hours...
[General Accessories] AzumaK:
I either had this model or its predecessor for quite a while, although I only used it with Ventrilo on PC for Ragnarok, lol! It's a solid headset, but yes the buttons were a bit firm. If I still had it I would use it after I wear my Motorola S10 for several hours and kill the battery.. it's also a bit heavy...

Title is self explanatory. But this thing is quite expensive for the poor protection it provides. 50$ worth it ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] robot1000:
It's just a very expensive screen protector
[Galaxy S II Accessories] falconeight:
It looks cool but a waste
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Intratech:
Is that how little value the US dollar has these days? :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] epicfailguy2:
lol dunno, to me it's either that, or a fat masstige leather or a sillicon 5$ rubber.

I think I'll order one on gmarket for 35$ tho, if I don't like it I'll resell 50$ :P np :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stoolzo:
does look quite nice but does nothing to protect the bit thats going to get the most knocks, the bulbous bit on the back at the bottom, mine already has micro scratches.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] :
This is almost what I'm looking for, but the price is too high and the volume controls are blocked :o

[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
I know it takes a 4g sim card I had a blackberry storm 9530 and all I had to do get it unlocked is it the samething.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
Really? No you can't. It is CDMA and AT&T is GSM. Different technologies. Sorry. But the Inspire 4G is an awesome phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
I have the inspire I'm just bored to death with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
The Thunderbolt isn't all that different
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
Get some ADD meds, then. Some people just bore easily.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stedrocklp:
Nope that wont work. I have an Inspire and a Thunderbolt and even if its unlocked it still wont run on AT&T's 3.5G network. Maybe when AT&T upgrades to real 4G it will but for now its a no go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Did you really ask this question? :eek:

If you are really bored with your Inspire, I have a spare motorola backflip, do you wanna trade? :D

Would you mind sharing why you are bored with it? What makes the Thunderbolt better than the Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
Yeah. Did you read my post? GSM vs. CDMA. It will NEVER work on AT&T, unless they decide to duplicate their entire network with CDMA towers. I am officially out of this inane thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Reason ur bores with it is cuz playing angry birds and watching free porn gets old. Be productive
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Angry birds went out with the iPhone. And I don't watch or need porn. But anywho I think maybe Ill just keep on experimenting with my phone until maybe I find out more things I can do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M.leonard2:
Yawn lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] IrishSmash:
Go buy a cheap crappy base line prepaid phone and use it for a month... You will quickly realize that you have no legit reason to be bored with it.:p
[HTC Inspire 4G] unclekeith:
thunderbolt and inspire are nearly identical. thunderbolt has a cooler name though... ooh and a kickstand!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Buchez:
I don't understand why people feel there is such a difference between the Inspire and Thunderbolt? Front facing camera?? kickstand?? The biggest standout to me is LTE vs HSPDA and IMO, not worth the extra cash, yet. Call me old school but I still use my Laptop to do most of my web surfing.:rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Am I the only one that thought of Zeus attacking AT&T headquarters because of this thread title?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Buchez:
Yes, but now that you mention it.... That's pretty funny!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Wow really? Verizon on att? You got to be joking.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
Go to verizon, or get a second line with verizon. Then you'll be bored with that one :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Or, get an iphone 4 and you'll see how fast you'll be running back to the Inspire. :)

Black screen for a sec on wake up? I know this is a really anal and stupid question. Ive just rooted my arc using gingerbreak. When I wake the device up using the home button, there is a black screen for a brief moment before I get to the slide to unlock screen. I dont remember this before rooting. Can anyone else test this for me? Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
I think its just cause its loading up but I get it but its not when.for a second I get it its for less than a second so I think it should be fine
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmp:
Hey all,

Anyone make a list of the new apks in 3.1? It would be nice if you rooted guys could back up some of those so us non-xoom HC tablets users could try and install some of them.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryp2nyt:
Hello all,

this problem frustrates the hell outta me, now i have been informed by Kies that a new firmware is there for Gtab...but...i start updating, then the mesage "DLL LOAD FAIL" appears, whilst the Gtab is displaying a yellow "android robot" doing some cleaning and stuff...

My code is an XSG one, and i cannot seem to update at all...please help, as i have searched alot here in the forums, but could'nt find any (unless i missed, of course).

ow, i read about the odin way of updating, but i still could'nt get a solid guide on how to do it...would appreciate anyone to shed some light on it too...if possible..

thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryp2nyt:
anyone please ???????
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swedishcancerboi:
you should be able to find all kinds of info on Odin. last thing I read on Odin that should help is the little how to guide that is posted with the Gingerbread OverCome ROM. go take a look at it inthe Development section.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryp2nyt:
thanks, but, does languages gets affected by the odin method ?

my gtab is localized to have arabic on it, if i do any odin will it be gone ? It seems odin is the only option i have since samsung kies itself seems faulty, and refuses to work with this DLL LOAD FAIL kinda thing.

shall i proceed ?

EDIT: now i figured out another new error: unzip error...so i installed winrar, and, the update completed ! However, i only received a minor update for the current froyo firmware, there were no gingerbread for me (code XSG)...whats that supposed to mean ??
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swedishcancerboi:
I have no idea about locality. i would imagine the important thing is the actual ROM you are flashing. Odin just loads what you give it. Proceed at your own risk. if you are nervous, wait a few days until there is more feedback available from the community.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAYCE_VII:
I was wondering if we could restore the Arc's system files with SEUS onto the x10 by selecting the "repair phone" option. I personally don't wan't to be the first to try it and break my phone, which is why I am asking anyone who wants to give it a go, to try it. JUST REMEMBER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfbreak:
Forget this. It will flash Kernel and all from ARC and all that is not working at all on X10 and you will probably have a dead Phone. But i think SEUS arent even letting you flash ARC Files on your Phone even too you will select ARC it will recognize its a X10 and not a ARC
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAYCE_VII:
well, when i select repair phone when my phone is not connected I have the option of choosing the phone I have, and oddly there are 2 different Arc models to choose from. which is why I wanna see if anyone wants to test it.

Side note: wolfbreak on your CM ROM, I'm not sure which upgrade or hotfix it was, but when you install timescape you get FC on infinityview cause you need to apply the hotfix/upgrade AFTER you install timescape. I was unable to get Timescape AND contacts/phonebook working properly with the all in one v006 version, so I had to go back to v05, and install v06update, then timescape, then all the hotfixes, patches etc.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
The LT15i is the international version while the other one is the Japanese version.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CAYCE_VII:
is there any difference? or is it like the differences between the x10a and x10i...cause that's lame -.- I also know japan gets a Pink Arc which is actually pepto bismol colored

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elad92:
Hey, I'm using Phoenix unleashed js8 with speed mod and baseband version i9000ugjk4. When I dial it' ringing and after few seconds them volume drops and become even lower then the original in call volume that isn't so high any way. It started bothering me when I first talked in a crowded place and didn't hear good.

I heard something about modems but didn't really understand it.

I'm living in Israel and my carrier supports 850/2100 UMTS (No GSM for 2g bands) and that's why I bought the cappy.

I have two questions:

1. How can I increase the volume of the in call volume?

2. How can I know if my phone is using both 850 and 2100 bands?

And a little question on the way.. :P

How much time will it take until the roms and kernels of GB will be as stable and fast as the froyo roms?

Thank in advance, Elad!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elad92:
anyone? :S
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinizter:
1. I've noticed the same thing with call volume. I often have to switch to speakerphone to hear in crowded locations. I know that's not really a solution, but it's a temporary workaround for me. I'm not sure if there is any actual way to increase in-call volume.

As for stability and speed of GB ROMs: I recently made the upgrade (was running JS8-base OCed to 1.4GHz) to Mosaic II and can tell you that the speed and responsiveness of my Captivate has drastically increased (despite now only being at stock 1GHz). I think now is a good time to make the switch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Try a kb1 kernel and modem, that has the support for the audience chip that all I9000 kernel/modems don't have, because it's a different chip in the I9000 than it is with the captivate...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elad92:
Don't you have bugs and FC with your apps? what kernel do you use?

What is a kb1 kernel? the kernel I'm using now isn't for i897?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It is but it was ported and reoriented from the I9000 to work for the captivate. That was done because att drags there asses with updates, froyo came out in europe and canada months before att.

Kb1 is at&t's version it has the drivers for the audience chip I mentioned. Look in the dev section for kernels, it'll say kb1 next to it there should be a couple ... You will also need to flash a modem to match or you will have major sound issues.

here are 2 kernels for kb1:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988805

and:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989298

now look in this thread it has a modem for the I897(kb1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989298

once you have a kernel and the modem flashed your sound quality should improve...

Oh and as far as gb goes it's the same thing I mentioned about froyo, not ever gonna be released by att, but it came out for the I9000 last month, and the reoriented kernels for it are pretty stable. the roms based on those kernels are fairly stable as well, my personal fave is mosaic but I'm biassed because I'm part of the team ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elad92:
haha, Phoenix is the best, I enjoy every second of using this rom!

I think I will stay with this modem and kernel because it really give me great perfomence. I will live with this volume :)

As for the GB, I think I will give it more time and wait for the kernels to have lag fix and to be more stable. My next phone won't be AT&T's, that's for sure.

Thank you both I appreciate your help!

[HD7 General] jimbonics:
I think I read that Mango is going to improve code reading. As it stands now, it's pretty much balls.
[Atrix 4G General] JonEleven:
I am reasonably new to the android community and so when I first got the device I looked up some of the most commonly downloaded applications to get an idea for what I should get. Advanced task killer was up there as one of the most popular so I went ahead and downloaded it.

I used it for about a month thinking "alright cool I don't have to search through the stock task manager to force close applications". However I came across several articles at that point stating that with newer smartphone's technology that a task killer was unnecessary and in fact detrimental. All of the articles stated that the phone ran better and smoother when allowed to manage it's applications on its own. While I hadn't really ran into many bugs (just a few glitches here and there) I still thought I might speed up the phone a little bit and decided to stop using it.

Here's the weird part, I start getting bugs AFTER I stop using the task killer! My menus ran slower, the keyboard was not as responsive, I even actually felt like the accuracy of my touches went down. I was patient with it though and gave it time but the problems persisted. After a week of staying off of it (in which I should point out I fully rebooted the phone several times) I decided to start again and boom.

Magically the problems went away, my menus are nice and smooth, keyboard response is perfect, and touches are right on point. I think these articles are getting a little too theoretical in their accusations against task managers. Personally I have mine only set on medium detection and safe auto kill. This basically means it autokills almost nothing and 1 touch kills all of the game/map apps that I told it not to ignore. With modest settings such as these I think that there is very little chance of it upsetting any sort of operative processes of the phone and I mean the bottom line here is the results!

I personally find that my phone runs much better with a task killer than without. So anyway just thought I would share my experience in case it may help anyone, I'd be interested in hearing others as well.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
There is no need to use any Task Killer programs anymore, and using them is detrimental to the phone either way. This has been discussed time and time again on this forum and other phones' as well.
[Atrix 4G General] JonEleven:
I realize I may have typed a little more than your attention span would allow you too pay attention to so let me shorten this for you.

I got the task killer.

I then read about it being detrimental so I stopped.

I got more bugs/worse functionality of the phone thought it was weird but stuck to it.

After getting fed up after a while I tried using the manager again and everything became quick and smooth again.

Clear now? I'm just posting that this is my personal experience, and I thought it may be interesting to some because it seems contrary to what most are reporting.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
tl;dr

Factory reset. If you're being honest and not missing something you have a rogue app or setting causing a problem. Start fresh and you'll see that using a task manager and killing apps yourself is not the way to go.

The only thing I keep mine for is for killing rogue apps. And that's not a very common occurrence if you're doing things right and not downloading ****ty apps from stupid devs.
[Atrix 4G General] JonEleven:
haha well at least you admitted to it in the beginning, hopefully you caught the boiled down version then.

It's interesting that you mention the rogue app issue. I don't have any of the problems I usually hear about in the forums when that is the case, although I do use words with friends, which i realize is buggy but it plays against friends and family that have iphones as well.

I doubt that is the culprit though, the problems and slowdowns I was experiencing are mainly things i have seen people mention as problems with the phone in general.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Once you break the phone in and all the apps load and cache it should be smooth as butter. A brand spanking new refresh isn't always the quickest. I find that after a few hours usage (after a complete wipe) that things start really moving along.

In my task killer I have damn near every program excluded as well. And a nice thing about Froyo is that system apps and important things usually aren't killed anyway. I set my task killer this way as a buffer because I really don't want to kill anything in the background that doesn't need to be killed. Doing that can make it relaunch in the foreground thereby slowing things down when the program wasn't using any resources to begin with.

A lot of it is a matter of perception too - a lot of people get OCD about managing tasks manually and start killing things, falsely perceiving that speeds are picking up and that they're improving battery life. Fact of the matter is that it's other factors which are leading to success. Killing tasks is inherently flawed because you're waking up apps which aren't doing jack **** to begin with. :)
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
Today I purchased the full version of SystemPanel. The reason was simple. I wanted information. The product was exactly what I needed. An app that gives real time and historical information on: battery charge and discharge; CPU utilization; phone usage, the list goes on. After two hours I noticed that it showed CPU cycles from apps that should be idle... Pandora and Amazon App Store... so I opened Pandora and saw it was stuck in a search. I exited Pandora and suddenly the CPU dropped and rate of battery drain slowed. What makes this a great app is the historical view and the ability to see historical CPU usage at the individual application level and compare to the overall phones CPU, usage and battery level. The end result is solid information on where and when the juice goes. The help describes why they will never implement an Auto-Kill feature, i.e. does not save any juice and if an app is not behaving... don't kill it, fix the problem or uninstall! Hope this helps!
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I've got this app purchased as well. I usually uninstall it unless I suspect that a program is running wild like how you've described.
[Atrix 4G General] jjwatmyself:
Seems that out of all of the apps out there, these guys dug in to do something of use. Now I can post screen shots of the Moto car dock charging problem that I have.
[Atrix 4G General] Mafisometal:
i don't think ATK is really detrimental...i've been using it and as long as you keep everything in check, it should run fine, just make sure the apps that are being killed are the ones you want killed.
