[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] asayanna:
Hi all,

Just received my Desire Z (G2) clear skin and installed it.

Went on as easy as pie... and looks good however the skin is not adhering properly to the back curves of the phone. The corners are lifting.

I should point out that if i apply pressure to them they stick and the install looks perfect and but they lift a few mins later.

Help! What should I be doing to correct this.

Photo 1 shows the problem: The corners are adhering.

Photo 2 shows a perfect result... for a minute before it lifts again.

Doing this on 3 of the four corner curves.

Rgds.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
Does PhantomSkinz require water application (I use StealthGuard, which does)? If so, simply apply a little bit of water on that corner and then press and hold for awhile. It should stick afterwards.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] asayanna:
Thanks. Will give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] monomer888:
I had a clear-coat protector on the back of my Desire Z and it was applied by the chap in a booth when I was over in the States.

Unfortunately it didn't take long for the corners to start coming up just like yours. I even used a bit of hot-lamp application to try and make it stick around the curves, but eventually it would come right back up and dirt would get trapped there.

I think that these clear films have trouble with the combination of the curved corners and the soft-touch coating on the back of the phone. I ended up taking off all the protection on the soft-touch, and kept the protection on the screen and on the battery door. Works well enough for me now, and I prefer the feel of the soft-touch coating when I hold the phone! :)
[myTouch 4G General] eriksoto:
I took out my Mytouch last night and started playing games and noticed how smooth the screen felt. It took me a while to notice that the screen protector had come off.

I needed to replace it anyway since the top right corner was loose and dirty. Just a little story I wanted to tell. Does anyone else use a screen protector?
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
I used to. I would always make sure I had a screen protector before i even got the phone so I could have it on on day one. But I recently took off my sp and noticed how great and clear and responsive the screen was without it. I've been rocking it naked for almost two weeks. Not a single scratch. Basically, with all of these glass and gorilla glass screens, you don't really need an sp unless you are putting the phone in a purse with keys and change or in a pocket with other items. I always have my phone in it's own pocket and keep nothing else in it. Haven't experienced a scratch. Don't think I'll ever use an sp again.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
I thought MT4G owners said this phone gets dusts under the screen and spots, so wouldnt a SP be helpful here?
[myTouch 4G General] odrecords:
Naked since I tired of it after my first week! Months without one and not a single scratch...
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Ive had a screen protector on mine since day of purchase, the guy at the tmobile store put it on before turning on the phone. I did have a sp-less HD2 that was mint and never had any scratches. the screen was very smooth and a tad bit more responsive. I think when I get my replacement mytouch, itll have the naked screen:D
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
I have a screen protector and a TPU case. I have it just in case. You never know what can happen. I feel like I can be a little less carefull with the phone with the cover on the screen. For example if im working on my car and using my phone to play music I can touch the screen with my dirty fingers and not worry about dirt and grime putting a scratch on it. Just wipe it off at the end of the day and its perfectly fine.
[myTouch 4G General] brianphanz0r:
no screen protector is just so much more awesome.
[myTouch 4G General] bigmikehd2:
It's kind of like having sex with a condom. Sure it still works while using protection but it feels so much better without it! ;)

[myTouch 4G General] ryumo:
LOL never heard anyone put it quite like this in regards to a phone, but somehow it works and makes perfect sense!
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
I carry my phone in the T-Mobile leather sleeve so the screen is always protected and therefore I don't bother with a screen protector. My buddy doesn't use a case and therefore does use a SP, and the difference is noticeable. His screen is much less responsive, and it's more difficult to drag your finger across it.
[myTouch 4G General] squall leonhart:
I like your idea, lolz.

I'm using a SP about a week and after that, I decided to take out to use a flip case for replacement.
[myTouch 4G General] djalecazam:
Same here. no screen protector since day 1 and no scratches whatsoever
[myTouch 4G General] dr4stic:
Story from my Nexus One. I had a Zagg shield basically forever, but the case I had did a number on the edges. I was getting close to getting a new phone, so I decided to just take the protector off and go naked. I figured, in my pocket, what could happen?

Within a day I had a nice scratch at the upper edge of the screen. Non in the "display" area, so I suppose that's good, but still not great for resale. I should be happy though that I haven't had any other issues.
[myTouch 4G General] xxpada:

Some days ago I put the phone in my pocket and since I was in a hurry I forgot that my keys were inside too. After playing handball for some time I take the phone out of my pockets and notice this huge and deep scare right in the middle of the screen. I almost cried, really. But when I took the screen protector off, guess what, it was like new!

So, screen protectors dont feel as good as naked but at the end of the day you will be safe.
[myTouch 4G General] mr mystery:
Naked since new, no scratches. SP's are a waste of money on most new devices with gorilla glass or scratch resistant glass.
[myTouch 4G General] PD150000:
Gorilla Glass or other high tempered scratch resistant glass can still get scratch. All you need is the right grind of sand in your pocket or right angle of impact from key, ect. SP only costs like 10dollar and high end like DQC/Crystal based is like less than $20. In the long run it pays for itself just stay out of InvisibleSHIELD BS but when you do get scratch you will beat yourself crying why didn't you spend $10. As having scratch on the screen does impact the resell value of the device.
[myTouch 4G General] wartime71:
But scratches are like HIV
[myTouch 4G General] sactownstar:
I was using an SP but not anymore. Can't stand air bubbles!
[myTouch 4G General] Joker Fuel:
Yes, it does get scratched. I haven't the slightest idea I got my scratch since I always have it in my holster... But the color and response difference has kept any screen protector off my phone since january. I'd rather have the vibrant colors
[myTouch 4G General] drunk21:
Is there any way to remove a light scratch on the screen?
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
I've rocked mine naked since I got it (at launch). I used a Best Skinz Ever on my G1 (face only, never did the rest of the body). I keep my MT4G in a black bag/case similar to what shipped with the G1 while in my pocket. It's just a small vinyl/neoprene exterior pouch with microfiber inside. Like $5 as a "replacement G1 case" direct from T-Mobile.

No issues yet, still looks brand new :)
[myTouch 4G General] mingkee:
I don't really like how non-responsive when the screen protector applied.

I leave HD2 screen bare when I had it...no scratch at all

I leave nexus screen bare few months ago...no scratch at all

I think HTC phone's screen is more scratch resistant than other brands.

[myTouch 4G General] bchen03:
First time I played golf with my new phone I kepted it in my bag with my keys and the screen protector got scuffed up pretty bad. So I say yes to screen protectors.
[myTouch 4G General] katx5h:
I've had mine since Nov 2010 and never had an so or a scratch. Heavy use. One of thing I like best about the phone is its screen why put it under wraps.
[myTouch 4G General] _ice_:
Not a fan of SP protectors, or cases, or anything. None of my touch screen phones had a screen protector or even a case. I never drop my devices, and if I do the screen never tends to scratch or break :)

Also off topic but I hate when people buy sexy phones just to put a 5" thick otter case and hide the sexyness of it lmao. On a side note I never use condoms either ;)
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
I think the condom reference has already been done before in this thread.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Yes if it's a minor scratch, there is a three part buffing system that uses a clear heat filler liquid, you put the liquid on a specific cloth they supply and wipe the screen down with it, after it dries (about 5 minutes) you use a series of buffing pads designed to heat the liquid into the scuff and harden it till the scuff is gone.

It does work and you'll never feel the difference but if your using a theme or wall paper that is really bright you still notice a slight amount of light refraction where it was. I had to use it on a Blackberry I had a few years back and after about a year I had to throw it out because the liquid went bad.

Ever since then I've used protectors, there's noting like a screen that's not covered with scuffs, especially a touch screen.
[myTouch 4G General] gd6noob:
i splurged and got myself the Zagg Maximum InvisibleShield...

had to order online as the kiosk in my area only stocked apple items..

installed it myself and i did a good job... could have been a bit better... install was easy..

the phone now feels a lot grippier... doesnt peel off like the cheaper screen protectors..
[myTouch 4G General] iamiced:
i personally use a antiglare screen protector because i tend to use my phone outside alot and the bare glass just makes it unable to see anything in the sun
[myTouch 4G General] StrmTrooper:
I find that having a good screen protector acually keeps the screen and gaming alot smoother
[myTouch 4G General] headhunt3r:
I noticed that my screen protector changes the whites on the screen to not look so nice... i'm really tempted to just rock it naked.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Ive had mine without a SP for about 2 and a half weeks now and it still looks brand new, nice and shiny with no nicks or anything. but then again, I do baby my phones:D
[myTouch 4G General] SuperSwaggtastic:
I love the reassurance of an sp but air bubbles drive me nuts, as I'm typing this I want to rip my sp off due to the air bubble that is on the corner of my screen -__-
[myTouch 4G General] eriksoto:
I definitely agree with you. That's one of the reasons I'm going bare for now.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterofAll:
Yes, this is another HTC Desire bricked thread.

Also very yes, I've read a plethora of what I considered similar threads, on this forum and others.

THE HARDWARE:

Us Cellular Branded HTC Desire.

THE PROBLEM:

I rooted the phone without problems. I then attempted to flash several (read: a dozen or so) different ROMS following tutorials to the letter. Most were Froyo ROMS with Sense UI. I like HTC Sense.

So, after trying dozens of different ROMs, none of them gets past the white boot screen with green "htc" text. Sometimes the phone would auto reboot a few times and then shatter my hopes by getting stuck again, and again... and again.

WHAT I HAS DONE:

After proving the cake was no lie, I created a gold card. I then followed some nice instructions about using previously mentioned card to flash non-branded ROMs. After I mopped up my tears of rage and frustration from all these ROMS still getting stuck on the same white boot screen, I wrote this post.

Also, I went in to my local us cellular store (I know the tech who works there) hoping he could do me a favor.. but since the phone was rooted (yes i know i'm an idiot for trying) he could do no such thing.

Also, I tried downloading .exe (RUU files?) that set up a wizard on my pc to fix my desire but they couldn't connect to my device... connection error message kept coming up.

I am willing to crawl up a temple on my knees for penitence if need be to get this fixed. But please don't *only* send a few links to "similar" threads...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Sounds like an usb brick. Follow this guide to repair:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639

If finished, try to unroot your phone by flashing fitting ruu again.

Btw, a question: which hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into hboot and read the number behind the word pvt (first line). Another question: which recovery system do you have?

No warranty for any damage!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4rm45:
Sry for the post, Mat was quicker :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterofAll:
The hard part is finding a fitting RUU... since the US Cellular brand does not seem to be popular.

I *FINALLY* got a RUU to flash via fast bootusb.... and it looks like i am in the clear... as far as that goes.

We shall see how this works out.

Thank you (I hit thanks button too)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Good luck! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shieze:
If flashing of the US cellular rom fixes it then odds are the goldcard did not work. Goldcards can be temperamental to setup and keep setup correctly.

If you repartition you need to set it up again. I have had a lot of annoyances due to this on my phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterofAll:
Thanks all :)

Everything works great... save for my SD card (which was a gold card). I ended up formatting it with my pc, then reinserting and everything seems fine.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheScPCrew:
On my Motorola Atrix I use to have a "Data Manager" under settings that allowed me to sync "Social Applications" over WiFi only. I liked this cause it cut back on my data and I would normally only be looking at application sync data when I was home near WiFi anyways...no point having it out on the road.

Is there anything like this for the Nexus S? I don't see a data manager under settings...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Nope that's a MotoBlur thing. Cool feature, tho....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vansmack:
You can change the settings for each app if you're that interested. But if you don't mind me asking, is this a battery saving thing, because Sprints Everything plans are designed to specifically so that users no longer need to worry about data usage?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheScPCrew:
Oh really? I wasn't aware of that. Maybe that's why my company switched carriers. Before we were told to only use data up to a certain amount with our AT&T Atrix's so I always had data off and Wi-Fi on and it worked out great cause Motoblur allowed you to basically say...all social media apps won't sync unless on Wi-Fi.

I also had a question regarding the text size on the screen...I restored my launcher settings that I had on the Atrix onto the Nexus S (not the system settings, just the layout settings)...anyways...I noticed that the icon and text of the widgets, etc are noticeably bigger. I don't necessary mind the bigger icon, but the text is bothering me because it cuts off some of the app name cause of how wide/long it is....or for example..on my Fancy Clock Widget...the text is so big, that it cuts off the temperate posting at the bottom of the widget. Any idea how to fix this? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
That's really weird.... what launcher?

Maybe reinstall the launcher or at least re-add the widget.

The text size difference might be due to the fast that the Atrix screen resolution is 960x540 whereas the Nexus is 800x480.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
temp root should be enough to gain full root, probably with a method like the zikronix method. just temp root, flash mtd-eng from toastcfh, flash rooted build, flash ur-soff, flash sprint lovers w/ amon-ra, and all should be good. might have to unroot and test. we'll see...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
no the mtd-eng. the part that controls the rules for the other partitions. you can't flash a recovery with temp root, but you can flash the mtd-eng with toast's modded version.

Sorry Im a little confused then. This overwrites the misc partition with engineering controls of some sort?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i think we're confusing eachother a bit lol. so rageagainstthecage lets you get temp root, in which you can flash toast's mtd-eng to the misc partition, allowing you to install a rooted pc36img.zip, allowing you to flash unrevoked forever by booting a recovery from your comp (also toast) which allows you to install a permanent recovery. confusing imo
