i running zagg screen protector and the screen doesnt seem as responsive...mainly when text and trying to hit the space bar...wasnt like that with a naked screen...never had that issue before and always use zagg
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Alpha Class:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinhead:
I will keep using the one that came with the phone until it no longer looks as clear as it does when I bought it. It has held up quite well. However, with the G2x's reliability I might not have the phone long enough for it to matter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
I took the original protector off and have been running with the glass only, no drops, keeping it away from things that might or might not scratch it.

If I look at the screen at an angle in sunlight I can see two hairline scratches which don't show up otherwise, so I'm happy :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
Zagg invisashield on whole phone. Had to adjust my pressure a bit afer I first put it on but its not the end of the world.

I've no confidence in gorilla glass anymore after my friend accidentally dropped his atrix off his nightstand and the screen shattered after a height of 3-4ft.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrinNY:
Can someone point me to a thread that explains how to install and enable SlideIt on NC 1.2 with MN 4.5.25

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamingWolf:
Go into market and navigate to SlideIT.

If you already installed it then just click on the 'open' button and it should start the process to walk you through initializing and choosing SlideIT as your primary keyboard.

If you haven't installed it then install it and when the install is finished choose the 'open' button instead of the 'done' button.

If you have already installed SlideIT and don't want to go into market then go into settings>language & keyboard. Check the box next to SlideIT Keyboard. Exit out of settings and go into any app that requires you to type something in. Instead of just tapping the field to bring up the keyboard, press and hold for a few seconds. This will bring up a menu box titled 'Input Method' (I think that's what it's called). Choose 'SlideIT Keyboard' and you will be good to go.

Hope this helps.

Now available for the Atrix 4G.

Includes an extended battery door, and supposedly only adds 0.5cm to the back, which isn't bad.

Please feel free to post thoughts on the idea of getting one, or if you own it, your experience with the new battery.

Thanks all.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
I don't understand why Seidio insists on having the extra battery space be a straight edged bump...Why can't they smooth the edges into the case...Actually show they THOUGHT about DESIGN for a change.

It does seem a tad large. Anyone else find any larger capacity batteries out there besides this one? I was awaiting the Seidio one for a while...bummer
[Atrix 4G Accessories] msd24200:
I've been waiting for this
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Whipon:
I remember when I bought one of these for my Motorola Milestone.

It makes the phone look like those vintage smartphones of the 90's. Bulky and heavy. Also system can't read the real battery life left. So in a few hours your metter drops down to 1%. Then the red led will blink constantly, unless you reboot the phone so the battery metter resets. Then you'll have to repeat the same process again 2 or 3 more times.

Then we have the battery cover. It was horrible plastic with four cheap metal locks to secure it to the phone.

Having seen the pics of the one for the Atrix, I doubt the story is so much different now.

I have a question to those willing to buy this: how much more battery life do you need?. Under heavy usage my Atrix lasts a whole day, and I have around 30% left at night. I can surf the web, listen to music through bluetooth, play some retro games through Yongzh emulators the hour it takes to travel from my home to my job and vice versa and the battery metter rarely drops more than 10%. With normal usage, the phone reachs the night around 70%.

So I don't see the point in transforming the phone in a Startac.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
I have released a screen casting application in the Android Market using SL4A.

It allows the user to mirror their screen on their laptop or desktop over wifi.

I have attached the apk and the python script needed to run the application.

This is an open source project hosted on google code. Feedback and help improving the performance/additional features is WELCOME!!!!

Support for the X10, Atrix, and NexusS is ready out of the box because those are phones I was able to test it with.

The Linux desktop script needs to be downloaded from the project website on google code.

Link to project

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SuperUserMovado:
Unfortunately I work on a linux Desktop. Since Windows also has ffmpeg it is already compatible all that is needed is to change the linux script GroundWork.py into a batch file.

I am hoping for help or contributors on that end. After I implement all the features I have in my head I will port it to Mac and then Windows.(Unless someone beats me to it :))

[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
So my wife has the transform and she hates it. I was thinking about getting her the Epic but neither of us are due for upgrades so I would have to pay retail.

I have an idea though.. Wondering if any 'insiders' know if this might work...

we have plenty of 'approval' for extra lines on our account.. we have an available line on the account as well.. I was thinking about getting an Epic for $--- price, on a new line (on our acct.) w/ new 2 yr contract.. then swap her device to the new line and the Epic to her line (to keep the phone numbers in order)... then after a couple days, I was thinking about cancelling the new line and paying the ETF.. The way I see the math, ETF + promo rate is less than full retail.

Just brainstorming a way to keep 'momma' happy..

Any other ideas ?? will this work ?? My wife thinks we might need to keep the phone/line active for 30 or 45 days or they'll charge us full retail.

Just curious..
[Epic 4G General] rmriggin:
For the amount of work that would take, the fraud potential and the cost you would just be better off keeping an eye on craigslist. I often see them going for $250 or less. Besides if you really want to go that route wait for the evo 3d or if you want something available now go for the nexus s 4g (unless having a hardware keyboard is necessary).
[Epic 4G General] readingkeeper:
From what I've seen, you would have to keep the second line for 30 days, and at least until after the rebate clears. If you really want to avoid the ETF, you can force roaming 24/7, and let Sprint cancel that line.

**Disclaimer**

I have no idea if this would work or not. It would be best to get a Sprint employee to confirm this.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Not sure what the stores are like in your area, but our Sprint stores here are all franchise. They recently started selling Refurb Evos and Epics for $120 straight up, no contract. Might be something to consider if it's an option for you.
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
The phones are worth what they cost. I wouldn't go out of my way trying to defraud the company you are relying on for phone service just to save a few dollars.

That being said, I noticed the contract price went down $100 since a week or two ago when I was on sprints site.... used to be 249/199 Epic/Evo, now it's 199/149 Evo/Epic... interesting.

You can buy preowned Epics from BestBuy free and clear for like 275 or so last I heard. That and check Craigslist, it isn't uncommon to find them for 100-200 there as well... just be sure to transfer the phone before you leave the sellers house to make sure it's legit.

Personally I would just buy a new one. They are around $300 +/- on ebay all the time. Like I said before, they are worth every penny anyway.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
thanks for the quick replies :)

Definitely some good info here.. gonna go check out craigslist for a deal..

I went into our local sprint store (not a corp store) and wanted to play w/ the Nexus S.. the employee said "I have them but I can't turn it on because it will auto activate".. I said no it won't.. it will try to do hands free activation, fail, then let you play from home screen (I think)..he wouldn't let me play with it..

I know we have a corp store (repair center too) that has devices turned on and connected via wifi that can be played with.. might have to stop by there for a little tinkering action.

either way, thanks for all the suggestions.. I've got some work to do.
[Epic 4G General] jspsuperman:
You may have already done this, but my wife has the transform as well and it was a piece of **** lol I decided to try rooting and installing a custom kernel on it and it is a completely different phone, still not like a epic obviously but a much better phone once I unlocked it. http://androidforums.com/transform-all-things-root/317172-how-why-root-newbies.html I followed this guide for the Transform to the letter and my wife is much happier now that she can actually play angrybirds and use it as a phone lol :D
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I have ubuntdroid beta installed on her phone (from sdx-developers).. clockwork mod (not sure which version).. I have her system partition formatted as EXT4, data as RFS (for stability, no corrupt data) and cache as EXT2 for speed/stability ... it's not too bad but I still manage to break it LOL...

the transform uses swupdate utility like the moment did. I'm very familiar w/ the moment so messing with the transform was easy.
[Epic 4G General] tpike:
I'm not positive if non corporate account people can do this, but with our corp accound, we can put it on hold for around $8 per month. You might look into getting a new line and put the current on hold then put transform on craigs list fr 75 bucks or so. Maybe even hang around the sprint store and try to sell it out of contract to someone. We did that with some blackberrys and it went well. Our instore rep helped us out and sold a couple to some of her good customers that didn't want to pay full price for a phone when they dropped it in the pool or something like that. Lots of people don't get tep :-)
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
it just so happens we have corp discount on our plan ;)

This might be another good idea... <runs to pitch ideas to my wife>

I found an Epic on craigslist for $250 OBO here locally, and a nexus for about $350.. Gonna check into that as well...

thanks again for the tips.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Mighty Mike:
I am coming from the Galaxy tab to the Flyer and find that most/some programs including the Market have really tiny fonts and the buttons are smaller than on the G-Tab. I'm guessing it's a Gingerbread issue, but any help would be appreciated.

I can't seem to find a way to increase the system font size.:confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hondan8:
I tried spare parts from the market but, no luck. It has the.option to change font size but I guess it only for the app. But if you don't have spare parts you should...... At least to turn off compatibility mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yongck7:
+1 of this concern.

I am holding back my eagerness to buy Flyer because of this small font issue as I know HTC sense always use small font and restrict user to change it.

Hopefully this issue can be changed with LauncherPro UI, else I will have to wait for Samsung 8.9” tablet….
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Mighty Mike:
From what I can tell, Spare Parts is for root users only. So most options will not work until we get a root for the Flyer/Evo View 4g

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mardurhack:
I've searched around the forum and the whole Google results. Found nothing about it. Every time I unlock my HD2 (Android on SD - now Hyperdroid CM7 2.1.0 rom but used to happen with every other) I see, for just an istant, a vertical yellow/green line on the screen after which the lockscreen appears. It's pretty annoying but what I'm really concerned about is that it could be a sign of an almost broken screen! I'm trying to find a solution as soon as possible because I know is a software related problem (only with Android, none on WM6.5). Thanks to anyone who'll try to help me! I'll take a picture as soon as I'm able to lend a good cam! In the meanwhile keep in mind these things:

- It only happens while unlocking the screen (vertical line on black background then lockscreen)

- Sometimes the screen becomes completely "whitey" (You can distinguish icons, text etc. but the screen seems to be made of white LCs! Weird!). Can't do anything but reboot. I'll try to take a picture of that too!

I repeat: this doesn't happen with Windows Mobile! So it's not the screen itself.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
The first issue I don't know. The second, if you mean by white, everything is in similarity to white/grey/light pink/purple, then it is common. Just reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] montecarlo5:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mardurhack:
@montecarlo5: Well, I'm not talking about those animations :P My screen doesn't glow in or out. It simply shows this vertical line then the lockscreen appears. That's all. Oh and I disabled all the animations ;)

@Kailkti: I supposed it was very common. But what I'm concerned about is that it could damage the screen. Can it?

Thanks for your answers!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alkah0liK:
You can find tons of free icon / text packs as zip files searching with google. Download, unzip, transfer the png / image files to your sd card and long press anything on the app drawer or press the default icon when adding a shortcut and choose "custom icon" and pick anything from the gallery or whatever file explorer you use.......

You can find a quite large selection of files at launcherpro.droidicon.com also

this is odd...

after uninstalling bing and installing google search from market it was working fine for a while (1-2 days)

now whenever i type more than 2 characters into the google search box it force closes.

tried uninstalling / reinstalling and clearing the app's data- no dice.

also tried with email history enabled and with it disabled.

any ideas?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I have mine working OK, but not with the Voice Search from the market. What I found was that the Voice Search from the market did not fully integrate with maps, etc (like saying: "Navigate to" came up with some ridiculous kbbb or something else, and speaking for an instant message was hideous).

I renamed the BingSearch.apk and the Bing service apk (can't remember the exact name) in the /System/Data directory (I'm rooted). I pulled the Voice Search APK out of a 2.2 ROM (specifically from my old device - Eris) from the System/Data directory and installed that (uninstalling the market version first). It integrated fully with EVERYTHING, but as of now, like you, my physical Search button doesn't work.

This isn't for Google Search but it was posted for using the search to bring up the phone. Better than not being functional at all and you may be able to figure out how to make it Google Search.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/lg...val-breaks-search-button-requires-rooted.html
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The problem with that is it changes the functionality of the Search button entirely. For some, that may work, but in certain applications, that button is still a method to search (like root explorer).
[LG Revolution] sir2545:
Its not the app. I just went through this when I got the Charge. Go to your Google dashboard and go to speech and click anonymize recognition. This deletes the voice recordings stored from your previous phone. Mine was coming up with kkkkk stuff when I first got the Charge. I guess different devices pick up your speech in a different manner. Try it and see if that fixes your issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
So, there is Haus's thread which provides download links to the ROM, Kernel and Radios.

I am currently running Salvage Mod and a Tiamat kernel.

If I flash the 2.3 OTA ROM while still running the Tiamat kernel, will I run into issues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
No because after you flash you will no longer be running the Tiamat kernel you will be running the new stock HTC kernel. Flashing the ROM flashes the kernel as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
Oh...

I was under the impression (based off the links provided in the other thread) that the ROM and kernel needed to be flashed separately.

Thanks for clarifying!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Generally no I flashed it on my EVO and didn't flash any thing else. You might want to go back and take another look I will as well but that generally not the case they come with the kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
To flash back to sense you don't have to do anything special. You don't have to nandroid back to sense or anything like that. The only thing you have to do is clear user data, cache, and dalvik cache then flash. You don't need to restore anything first. I saw your other post. Also I'm fairly positive that the ROM has the kernel but if you want to be safe download the kernel as well and just stick it on your storage card just in case.

Remember clearing user data will wipe all of your apps and data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
The kernel is a modified one just incase you have the brightness bug still I think.

When I flashed the new mikg v1.0 i know I still did but I flashed that kernel and it fixed it but I never flashed one of the new stock ROMs cause of the 1.0 sense on it.
