[HTC Sensation] Clivectmob:
ok, lets clear something up here. Yes, it is correct that the sensation is at a loss due to the extra pixels that need to be addressed in order to complete quadrant, and yes, quadrant is not really a very good benchmark anymore because of this and other reasons too. The reason the sensation beats the sgs2 in quadrant is most likely due to the memory read/write test, the sgs2 is useless at this as write to database takes a long time. The graphical tests in quadrant run for the same time and base the score on the number of frames per second achieved in a given time.

I cannot comment on the sensation, as mine arrives today (hopefully) but I had an sgs2 and it was a really big let down for me, i was blown away by it for the first week but after that it's flaws started to bug me, battery can't last a day even with light use, but more than that it's weak signal reception and intermittant data connectivity issues broke the camels back for me. So it's gone, too unreliable.

Heya!

Just got the Inc 2 and I tried the gingerbread keyboard that I got here:

and it didn't work. When I tried to type, it force quit on me. Also the letters were SUPER BIG! lol.

Just wondering if the gingerbread keyboard exists for this phone. It's the only keyboard I've been able to type well with on android.

Thanks!

There is a free one as well. It should be under the part where it lists other apps from the developer.

Hi there! I'm a newbie in android modding..

I have just hard resetted my P500, so now it has Froyo 2.2 and V10a software version.

Now I'm wondering if I should update it to 2.2.2 or wait for Gingerbread release. Do you have any suggestion about it? Is there any guide (on the forum) which explains how I can update the phone via LG Suite?

Does Gingerbreak make root possibile on 2.2.2?

Another question about custom ROMs.. which is the most diffused one on P500 devices? However at the moment I wouldn't use a custom ROM, because I am waiting LG official release. Are they working well on P500 (talking about Gingerbread mods)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jaani:
Me 2 want to know but i have 2.2.1 ver 10c..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xdause:
well... I was on v10l on p509 which was 2.2. If you use the lg software updater it updated to v10s 2.2.2 without deleting anything. Obviously you still want to backup just in case.

The LG suite does it automatically once you select the start updater if there is an update for your phone. It does tell you to backup just in case.

Gingerbreak works on 2.2.2 which I can verify
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hon kin:
Dont update. 2.2 has the best openGL driver. I'm so regretted to update mine to 2.2.2.

Just wait for the bread. =)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Gigi1988:
thank you ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreiscv:
Does anyone know how to get a standard USB keyboard working on the galaxy s2. Is this a simple kernel configuration problem or does it involve more in depth kernel modification. I downloaded the Galaxy S2 kernel source and noticed that CONFIG_USB_HID=y is already set in the config file. I compiled and ran the kernel on my phone and still keyboards do not work through the OTG cable.

While searching I came across this guy on youtube demonstrating the cable he is selling from mobilefun.co.uk. At the 1:30 mark he uses a keyboard. Do I have the wrong cable? Flash drives work with the cable I'm using though.

Any help or pointers?
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
I put a super expensive invisible shield on my nexus s as soon as I got it because it looked so good I wanted to keep it that way.

But, for quite a while now I've been looking at my phone and thinking it just doesn't look very nice at all.

Today I was sitting having my lunch and using my phone and I had an epiphany. It occurred to me (finally) that it was the screen protector that was making the phone look bad.

Pulled the thing off and every single time I pick my phone up now I'm amazed at how pretty the thing is. And everything on the display looks great. Before it just looked dull.

Why the hell did I put that stupid thing on my screen in the first place. I keep the phone in a case all the time anyway. I must be fookin mad :D
[Nexus S Accessories] wild1z:
Agreed, but I scratched my first one in a week and I keep it in a case as well. I wish someone actually made one that was good and clear.
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
That is food for thought. I hope I don't scratch this, but no way am I putting a screen protector back on it.

How did you scratch yours, and is it bad? Has it ruined the look of the phone??
[Nexus S Accessories] drtdiver83:
Have had mine naked since I got it a month ago no scratches at all. I keep mine in my pocket. Oh and I work in a machine shop so lots of stuff to scratch my phone and it still looks brand new. These screens are alot more scratch resistant than we think.
[Nexus S Accessories] ronnienyc:
I'd you don't put it in your pocket when other stuff is in there, you should be fine. Just don't drop it.
[Nexus S Accessories] bunilla:
I went without a protector an dropped my phone and smashed my glass. Luckely I had insurrance and got a new one. I'm keeping this one with a screen protector and case!
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
I see you've got a 4g. I haven't. do they have the same screen?
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
Do you think that if you'd had a screen protector it would have stopped it smashing. I don't. It's only a really thin layer.
[Nexus S Accessories] seezar:
I did that with my EVO and it doesnt have a single scratch on the screen from a year of use so plan on doing the same with my NS4G.
[Nexus S Accessories] kegacide:
yeah i always keep my phones naked... i just hate the look of the screen protector and the bulk of a case... just gotta be careful with the phone
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
welcome to my world ;)

i did exactly the same thing, then i took it off

those super shields are just in the way IMO, and smears-up the display quality.

also the touch and slide sensation loss, is very irritant, when you can't slide naturally on the screen, always like glue stuck to your finger
[Nexus S Accessories] lcr44ramirez:
I also keep my phone naked. It makes the NS look like a slick black brick super sexy lol. Also I dropped it a couple days back right on it's face on some rocks and not a single scratch I was so relieved :)
[Nexus S Accessories] gman8966:
I hate screen protectors, they make phones feel so crappy.
[Nexus S Accessories] derrick_:
Been using zaggs for ages and I love them. No dimming of the screen, super tough, keeps finger oils off better, etc.

Maybe you didn't install it very well? (I've installed a few thousand of them, one of my first is still on my droid eris from launch and still looks brand new) Or maybe its the texture that irritates you?
[Nexus S Accessories] Deleted member 3572053:
I got my nexus earlier this week when I upgraded from my vibrant. One thing I've learned is to keep your nails filed and short. My phone is usually in my right hand and in turn use my thumb to touch the screen. Keeping the nails short keeps the nails and simultaneously touching the screen while gliding and preventing scratches. Filing them keeps them smooth rather than rough which also reduces the risk of scratches. Watch what you put in your pockets and clean your screen with a lent free cloth with micro pores. Dust can scratch your screen when it accumulates.
[Nexus S Accessories] Connection S:
I don't like skins as well but at the same time I know they're saving my NS from ugly scratches. Better safe than sorry.
[Nexus S Accessories] jocampo86:
cant compare this screen with the evo.had my evo naked for a year and scratch free. the nexus after 2days has 6 scratches and kept it on my right pocket wiyh nothing else..
[Nexus S Accessories] simms22:
mines been naked since the first week of january, not a single scratch on the screen, no dents in the body. only some micro scratches on the battery cover(dont care about those). i carry it in my back pocket strictly, and i abuse my phone. dropped it many many times, and it even went for a swim in a sink once :)
[Nexus S Accessories] demo23019:
Invisible shield suck

Get a realook SP you cant even tell you have a SP on doesn't interfere is IQ at all

had one on my vibrant and now on my NS

hands down best SP and really cheap just an FYI can be tricky installing but well worth it.

Welcome to the club :)
[Nexus S Accessories] tmcquake:
I agree that the screen protectors detract from the screen clarity and quality. I gave the BodyGuardz screen protector a shot, but after an hour I had to remove it because I couldn't stand how it made the screen look.

I've kept the battery cover protector on, though, since the plastic back is so prone to scratches. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and I definitely recommend the back cover protector. It adheres very well and provides better grip on the back of the phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
Better grip on the back sounds useful and the back does mark easily (although I only care about the front).
[Nexus S Accessories] toxicdrift:
definately no skins for me, but im careful with my precious! + those rubber gel cases get stuck in your pants if ur wearing jeans that is haha
[Nexus S Accessories] Nomedias:
I agree on the Realook protector being the best I've had. Had one on my Vibrant, most who saw it thought it was naked. Thanks for the Amazon.com link, think I'll order it.

Finally got fed up with so-called Invisible Shield, just took it off my Nexus S. Why? First, glare from its uneven surface made it more difficult to see outside, more so in my car mount. Second, I have fat fingers and invisible shield GREATLY reduced my accuracy. Realook on my Vibrant was smooth as glass and didn't have this problem.

Hope this helps someone else make a decision.
[Nexus S Accessories] Envynet:
I have the Realook and it is complete crap, peels up on the top and bottom wont stay down.... Don't waste your money, I had one on my evo that was perfect.
[Nexus S Accessories] mbh87:
The realook isn't even the same size of the screen either, it's way smaller.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nomedias:
Thanks for the heads up. The realook for vibrant was great. Perhaps it doesn't do well on curved glass?
[Nexus S Accessories] onei0077:
The coating on the glass feels so good on my fingers. A little oily perfect for sweaty hands. I couldn't cover that up. Its a big pro in my books.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jonathon Grigg:
Took my cheapo eBay screen protector off about a week ago now, wow what a difference its made! I'm loving my Nexus even more now :D

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Accessories] TheDub:
+1 there. Zagg Invisi-shields (The Wet Kind work best IMO) are awesome. It's cut to fit the phone so it's not noticeable really, the screen is not dulled or washed out at all.

It just takes patience applying and working out the air bubbles (which on the wet one is super easy).

The WORST kind you could get would be the Matte Anti-Glare ones. They reduce glare but give the entire screen a screen door effect.
[Nexus S Accessories] buachaille:
Noticed some comments about me maybe not installing it very well. Understand why people are asking this, but it wouldn't matter how I installed it.

I am a tradesman and my phones come into contact with a lot of dirt and dust (off my hands and from the air). The screen protectors seem to pick this up, and I had a horrible permanent coating of muck stuck to the perimeter of the screen protector that would not be moved no matter what I did.

Now I am on the naked screen it just wipes clean. No scratches either and it's been a while since I took it off. Phone looks brand new (apart from the back but that doesn't bother me - I don't look at the back :p).
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
The only one that did me much friction was the included ones from otter box
[Nexus S Accessories] tkgod:
Had a Behold II that never got scratched, then moved on to the Nexus One and kept it in the sleeve that came with it. After I dropped the phone twice and bumped it against several things, I had a ding in the upper corner and a couple of minor nicks on the screen. I vowed to maintain it as best as I could since that point and bought the Otterbox Defender for it. The only thing that got worse from that point was the paint on the bottom where I kept having problems inserting the power cord to it. In the end, I lost the ability to use the dock, but kept my phone intact.

Flash forward, Just bought the Nexus S in February and had no intention of the same thing happening to it. The problem is even more compounded by the fact that Samsung chose to use amazing internal hardware, but weak scratch-easy plastic on the outside. Plus, the Nexus S is the only one of the Galaxy S phones that doesn't have Gorilla Glass (serious design flaw if you ask me, as was removing 720p for a NFC chip that has yet to get any use.). I went and put a Zagg shield on it and a Trident Aegis case (getting ready to go to the Seidio Convert because the Aegis has some flaws).

This is the case where function comes before form. Yes the Nexus S is one sexy piece of hardware. However, it's also a $530 (bought off contract) portable computer that is easily prone to scratches, chips, cracks, and breakage. In this case (no pun intended), finding a good looking case can keep the sexiness while keeping the protection. Since Otterbox bailed and the Trident Cyclops leaves a gap between the screen and protector, a great Zagg shield (with a lifetime warranty replacement package) with a good case is better than taking the risk of damaging this sexy phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] alnova1:
Thats funny..I have always used the wet Zaggs and had terrible luck with them but I have a dry Zagg on my NS4G and it was easy to install and looks great. The air bubbles that were there after installation are gone and it looks great.
[Nexus S Accessories] surf404:
I tried the Zagg wet for my NS but it gave me that awful orange peel look, i bought the BSE for my NS and its awsome! doesn't even look like i have a protector on.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
I got the BSE as well. Overall, I do think it's superior to the Zagg, but the installation on the battery cover is a PITA! Also, I used my old Zagg squeegee to apply the screen protector, and got small indentations at some spots. Any tips for a good install?
[Nexus S Accessories] Arcadia310:
Would you guys recommend the SGP Ultra Optics or a Zagg? I want protection against finger prints mainly and also a good clean texture.
[Nexus S Accessories] Beako:
I've used SGP Ultra Optics for my past devices and I recommend them. Matte surface to reduce finger prints (I actually almost never see fingerprints) as well as making my screen look as if there's no screen protector on there at all. Simply beautiful. I've tried BSE/Zagg/Skinomi and I hate them all.
[Nexus S Accessories] krohnjw:
I have the SGP Oleophobic - I removed it though eventually. It's a good protector compared to many. None of them touch the Martin Fields protectors I've used in the past, but you're shelling out $50 for a SP at that point.
[Nexus S Accessories] Beako:
Yeah, I'm still waiting for my Martin Fields screen protector for my Transformer.
[Nexus S Accessories] surf404:
I found it hard to put on when i just sprayed one side of the shield with the solution, so instead i dipped the whole shield in the solution and shook off the excess solution, made it very easy to slide in place. i just kept a paper towel close by to remove any excess water i saw. I also used the zagg squeegee, i found if you keep the squeegee wet , it won't cause indents or any pulling marks, just remove the water bubbles. For the back same thing, but i let the corners dry before i stuck them on and i took the cover off to do it. I don't really recommend this way unless you know how to for sure cause your putting a lot more solution on the phone then normal. But worked perfectly for me :)

Tried a cheap screen protector once, didn't like it.

But i'm considering getting a better one, because my screen gets pretty greasy and smudgy after a short time.. Do this have something to do with the coating?
[Nexus S Accessories] rkmj:
I've been a die-hard fan of Zagg invisible shields for a long time, and they've served me well, on my Instinct, Hero, EVO, Galaxy Tab 7 and Galaxy Tab 10. The screens always looked great and were fully protected. There was a slight difference between the bare screen and the protected one, but I had to look extremely hard to find it. Unfortunately, the one on my Nexus S didn't go on so well. I've installed a ton of them, so I'm good at installation, but this one seemed to be cut a bit large and isn't adhering as well as it should. I'll probably put in for a replacement from Zagg. Hopefully the one they send will be better than the one currently on my phone. Otherwise I'll be disappointed, but I'm not ready to run the phone bare. It may not look great, but at least I know that it won't get scratched.
[Nexus S Accessories] tekkitan:
I've got the screen protector from Seidio, which I bought the same time I bought their Active case. I have since taken the Active case off because it just was too bulky for me. I keep the screen protector on still and it seems pretty clear and non-dull to me.
[Nexus S Accessories] sfingers:
I've had the nexus s now for about 7 months and have yet to scratch the screen, I'm not overly protective over it and sometimes put it in my pocket with some coins/keys, I'm surprised that it hasn't scratched, as fas as I'm aware there is no protective coating on the screen. Interesting to know how others have faired in regards to scratches.
[Nexus S Accessories] tatwamasi:
My experience is very different, the Invisible Shields I've had have felt rubbish and looked the same.

I don't know why these companies don't get concession stands and charge an extra fee for fitting to give a perfect application. I'd pay it if the product was that great, but I'm not convinced it was my fault the invisible shields didn't work out for me.
[Nexus S Accessories] isinisterx:
Well i'm paranoid about my screens and cases and stuff because of all the past things that have happened to my phones.

Just yesterday I dropped my phone inbetween my car seats and it put a huge scratch across my phone. Hence why I will ALWAYS HAVE a screen protector on my phone and a case :P.
[Nexus S Accessories] e30ernest:
I use Zagg on mine.

I recently went to a camping trip. I packed my phone carefully in my backpack inside a protective pouch. I guess all the walking, crouching and jumping from rock to rock jostled my stuff around a bit so my keys (in a separate partition of the pack) was now rubbing on where the phone's screen would be.

The protector was more or less ruined but my screen is still pristine. Zagg did its job well and I got to order a replacement for free. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] midnightmach:
I was hesitant to get a screen protector because I love the way the front looks, but the last thing I want is a scratch because im positive it would be very noticeable on the large face. I went and got the Zagg full body and later found out it doesn't cover the edges and I needed to get the "full body max"... oh well. Anyways the "orange peel" texture doesn't bother me, it's not like you notice it indoors or when the screen is on.

clarivue

i have found clarivue screen protectors to be by far the clearest ones out there. they are smooth and can be cleaned and reapplied and most of them come two to a pack. clarivue.com has all different sorts. the only downside is a slight glare in sunlight.
[Nexus S Accessories] Roland27:
My girlfriend and I both have a Nexus S. She uses a screen protector, I do not. When she picks up my phone she is amazed every time, at how clear and nice the screen looks and feels. I used my phone tons and so far 2 months, and not a single scratch on the screen. Knock on wood.

Now I'm going to tell a slightly off topic story.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I owned an iphone 3G. I used a screen protector and was totally anal about anyone touching it. I'm pretty sure I paid about $20 for a screen protector for it. I was bummed that the screen felt rubberish and wasn't as clear, but I felt protected.

About 2 years later I started to take notice to all the cell shops in town, online, and everywhere, that can totally replace the iphone screen for $49. I then thought.. if anything really terrible does happen to my screen, worst case scenario, I'm $49 in the hole. So why am I suffering with a phone screen that looks and feels like crap? At that point I took the protector off, and enjoyed the phone until I finally upgraded to my Nexus S. Now I know that these local shops are probably not going to have spare Nexus S screens laying around, but I've seen them on ebay for around 130. And I’m sure in 6 months they will be far cheaper.

So as for now, I'm enjoying my phone without a screen protector. I'm sure I'll have the next generation Nexus in a few years from now, so I would like to get the full enjoyment out of this phone the way it was intended.
