This phone is so beautiful, it'd be a shame to cover it in screen protectors or cases :P
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
i still have the stock protector on..lol. waiting for tmo to have theres
[HTC Sensation] Macklessdaddy:
bought the HTC one from tmobile and it is fantastic,can't even tell it's on
[HTC Sensation] jankyboy:
I have the HTC protector from T-Mobile. Pain in the butt to put on and work out the bubbles. Looks ok, but scratches easily. Oh well, better it than the screen.
[HTC Sensation] Specialk47150:
Is a screen protector even necessary?

I was at the T-Mobile store last week, looking at a G2X. I've been shopping there for years, and the manager knows I root and everything, and that I want the best phones when they're out. He also knows I'm hard on my phones, so he demonstrates the G2X's gorilla glass by bashing his keys into it. Nothing happens. He smashes the keys into the screen of the phone, beats the hell out of it, digs them in, everything, and nothing, not a scratch. Then, he latter goes "ooh, ooh, let me show you this cool phone we have in back" and he pulls a Sensation out of the back. I instantly fall in love. Thing is, I really am hard on the phones, and the gorilla glass would be a great benefit for me, as I've broken a few screen before now. I asked him if it had gorilla glass as well, he said he didn't know.

So, I went home, and looked online, and everywhere I go it says it does have gorilla glass.

My question is, after that long rambling rant, if these phones really do have gorilla glass, why bother with a screen protector?
[HTC Sensation] thisguy10:
I guess it's the extra care you want to put into the phone. I personally don't want to put a screen protector on but I have been placing them on my phones for the past 4 years. I don't want to take any chances lol
[HTC Sensation] mmeiklejohn:
gorilla glass/sensational screen

while i think the GG definitely provides added protection, i would never advise being reckless like that. the one thing i did want to say which i havent seen anyone post yet was how clean the screen stays. i have had the phone since 6/12 and havent used a micro cloth once. while using outside i definitely noticed some streaks due to warmer temps and sweatier fingers, but they literally have disappeared. has anyone else noticed this? incredible self cleansing screen or dumb luck? ill take it as an added bonus. the phones getting better every day.
[HTC Sensation] Specialk47150:
But if it has gorilla glass, you really aren't taking any chances. Have you seen this stuff?
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
I just bough some screen protectors and a case for my phone from T-Mobile .
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
I'm using incredible S screen protector at the moment. A little bit bubble on the curve side up and down the screen. But it fit well and i'm cool with it temporary :)
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
I'm going up to t mobile later to see if they have some cases. For those who have it naked: you guys are able to use swype with ease? I find it alot easier with a protector on. And I hate smudges and fingerprints and what not.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Did they have any rubber cases?
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Yeah that's the one I bought.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
How much was it?
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Well I bought that with the screen protectors and they gave 20% off both things. It was 16.99 before the discount and 13.59 after. Its pretty nice though.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
My sensation has a wifi bug where if I turn it sideways, wifi completely turns off. Can I return it to tmobile if I bought it from walmart? And if not, do I have to go back to ths specific walmart I bought it from for an exchange? Or can I go to any one?
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
I was told you can't go to exchange it at a tmobile store but you can go to any walmart and exchange it there.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
thats a good deal. How much was everything all together?
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
No Protector on mine.
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
It was 28.07 all together. With tax.
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
I got 3 ones from ebay but the Bubble on the side make me really crazy. Is the one you got a same thing or what?
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
No mine has no bubbles maybe just a tiny bit but it doesn't cover up the whole screen. I'll post pictures on the accessories section later.
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
Yeah their protect screens is always small just fit the real screen, not the whole screen. Thank's for sending the pic I will see them later. so i can go get one instead the one I have it's very odd :)
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I dont own the phone yet, not for sale online from Tmo but I have the Vikuity screen protector waiting for the phone. Bought one for my HD2 and I've never used a screen protector so nice. Well worth the investment.

I know the screen's are very durable and such but I would rather the dust and inevitable scratch hit something other than the screen. I am as careful as I can be, and the screen protector on my HD2 has lasted since launch, one small nick and most people cant see it, or notice that its not on the physical screen.
[HTC Sensation] robotnoize:
Got T-Mobile one just for now until I can order my invisible shield.....T-Mobile one scratches way easy
[HTC Sensation] pixel-painter:
Yes it's really cool! I noticed this myself, the screen appears quite slick and cleans easily.
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
If it has been less than 15 days you must go bck to the Wal-mart you bought it at. I was told that yesterday when I bought mine.
[HTC Sensation] Yori-:
ordered this on sunday, and still awaiting to recieve it.

http://www.clearprotector.com/htc-sensation-screen-protector.html

i have tried clear protector before their "newly released ultra-compound".. and i was alright with it. Just wasnt a big fan of the orangy peel effect. Tried Zaggs and it was no better either.

Going to give clearprotector ultras another try.

Quite honestly i still prefer the HD2 Anti-smear/grease protector from t-mobile. They have more of a matte finish, and they feel better for a sliding surface
[HTC Sensation] :
^^^^^^^^This is correct^^^^^^^^
[HTC Sensation] Turbo Brian:
i used realook on my G2 and loved it. its actually SMOOTH and slick unlike zagg and its equivalents that have orange peel and are "sticky". they dont have one for the sensation yet though. soon i hope. in the meantime i may get something e lse. do the tmobile protectors go to the edge of the glass or do they stay inside the curved lip? i would think the curved lip would make the protector harder to install and be bubble-free if it went to the edge.
[HTC Sensation] dbirdflyshi:
I think gorilla glass is useless. I've got friends who dropped an atrix and screen shattered. A galaxy s 4g and a g2x and they all shattered when dropped. Ny old g2x has light scuffs when in my key pocket
[HTC Sensation] rtw2rtw:
I have an HD2 that I am very hard on. In pockets with keys, money clip, change...No scratches on the screen and no protector. If I find something that is hard enough and push hard enough to scratch it no plastic screen protector would save it.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
One drop on a gravel driveway... and my HD2 had many scratches. Waist high and wasn't that bad of a fall.

My Sensation has a screen protector. Don't trust Gorilla glass enough.
[HTC Sensation] Dave510:
GorillaGlass is hard but not tough. Therefore it's scratch proof but not shatter proof. Screen protector doesn't help at all since it wouldn't prevent the screen from shattering from forceful impact. Only a case can help, and you'd probably want a case to protect the electronic components anyways.

So GorillaGlass isn't useless. It does its job by preventing scratches.
[HTC Sensation] nichos:
Bought this one:

http://www.clarivue.com/

I had it on my galaxyS phone and it saved me big time. I got a huge scratch on the front, but it didn't go through the screen protector. They send you 2 (depending on which style you get).

I've also owned a zagg in the past, but i prefer this brand.
[HTC Sensation] Wurmzz:
Even though Gorilla Glass does prevent most scratches, I would still advise to have a screen protector. I managed to scratch my screen already, from a pair of scissors by accident.... The scratch is very shallow and only visible from a certain angle with enough light.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Never used one with my Gorilla Glass devices and they still look like new.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmentals:
I've been running the Synergy nightlies for about a week now. I'm currently on 6/13. I dont remember the exact day this started but I cant receive calls. I can send and receive texts, email, facebook, etc. I can even dial out although it takes about 20-30 seconds. When people try to call me they immediately get the google voice message. I am also getting the "Radio Interference Resource Shortage" message. I am wondering if anyone else has this issue. I am not sure if it is rom related or not. I have always done full wipes via Amon-Ra. I was able to update PRL/Profile but it didnt seem to make a difference. Any suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanzi89:
'hey guys/girls.

Im new at installing custom ROMS and all that.

I got my desire rooted with unrevoked 3.0 and it worked fine.

I installed a custom ROM and it worked fine,but i didnt like it so I tried a new one.

I can´t remember the name of it but I didnt like that either. Again i found a new ROM i´d like to try but when I turn off my phone and turn it on again trying to get to Hboot/recovery mode or what its called nothing happens i just stay turn off until i remove my finger from volume down buttom, then it just start then phone normally.

Do any one know what to do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
There are a couple of ways.

Way 1

1) Turn off your phone

2) Hold vol down + power until it loads the bootloader

3) When it's finished checking SD card, move to recovery using volume keys and press power to select recovery

4) It should load into recovery

Way 2

1) Have the Android SDK installed with the platform-tools downloaded and working

2) Make sure you plug your phone cable in your phone and PC

3) Open up command prompt or terminal (depending on your OS)

4) Type "adb reboot recovery" (no quotes) and it will reboot to recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
i have similar problem, cant access recovery anymore. that happened after installing a custom rom (leedroid). when i try to access recovery phone just hangs up on that red triangle. to turn it on again i have to pull of the battery. btw, phone works normaly itself only problem is that i cant access recovery to install some other rom :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
The red triangle is the stock recovery, so you're actually in recovery there.

Download a recovery and read this. Should get recovery back on your phone again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
but i had normal recovery i installed dozens of custom roms :/ and now phone just stucks in that screen with phone and triangle :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
How the hell can you install custom roms with the stock recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
thats the point, i had normal recovery :D and now i cant access it :D im using custom roms from the times desire was released :D and now almost after a year this **** happened :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Ok... 2 posts ago I linked you to an article that can get the a custom recovery back onto your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
can u explain me info in that link a little? :confused: what .zip file do i need and where to get it? and WTF is terminal? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
1) Download Clockwork Recovery or if you have PVT4 download Amon_RA (GSM)

2) Put it on your SD card

3) Download terminal emulator from the market

4) Type "su" (without quotes) and press allow when it comes up

5) Type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" (without quotes) and it will write the file to your phone.

To check which PVT you have, boot into bootloader. Turn off phone and hold vol down + power.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
installed better terminal emulator pro. downloaded img, renamed it to recovery, inserted it to sdcard in terminal typed:

su (enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (enter)

and terminal says:

flash_image: not found
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Did you put the img into a folder?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
no, in the root of sd card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Weird. I don't know. Just tinker around with it. I tried it once and it worked for me. Check spelling, check in a file manager to see if the file is there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
i think i get this. thing is my rom does not have flash_image. now looking how to get it.

yep, there is no flash_image in system.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killyouridols:
Are you using the new Sense ROMS/Gingerbread? If so 'Fast Boot' mode will screw with getting into recovery. I have to hold down volume while replacing the battery or turn off fast boot from within settings....

OFC if you have no recovery image anymore this won't help one little bit :D

KYI
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
yes im using new leedroid gb. i turned off that fast boot, its not that :/ now trying to push flash_image through adb, but it says "failed to copy....bla bla bla...: out of memmory" getting little desperate :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
If I was you I would back everything up. Contacts, SMS all that good stuff. I would then use an RUU and get the stock rom back on and just root that. Could of done it by now really.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Ok 2 problems:

1. to the topic starter. The reason you can't access recovery is that your rom uses fast boot up(sleep mode). When this is activated the phone doesn't really shut down when you tell it to, so it also cannot actually enter recovery or fastboot. Just turn it off in the settings menu and you'll be fine.

2. to Drunk Moose.

You have the original htc-recovery installed. I bet that you rooted back before unrevoked, and you probably have been using fakeflash since then. Try making rom manager dl cwm and choose reboot to recovery from rom manager. It should enter clockwork mod. If that is the case, this means that your phone have a modified version of the stock recovery, which allows test-keys. if that is not the case, and you still get the triangle, you somehow overwrote your recovery with a stock one.

Either way to fix this, you need to replace the recovery image with a cwm one. This can only be done in 2 ways for the desire:

1. Use unrevoked even though your phone is rooted and it'll flash it using a known exploit.

2. run alpharev to gain s-off. When you have s-off you will be able to flash the recovery through fastboot or from the system like described by meaple.

The reason it doesn't work for you when you do like meaple descriped, is that the commands tell the phone to use a custom binary called flash_img and passes it the parameters "recovery" and the "recovery.img" file. Then the binary will tell the android system how to write the img file to the recovery partition(it cannot do this entirely by itself). However this bynary is very unlikely to be included on your rom(like you figured out yourself :)), so you need to place it somewhere you can access it from the terminal. And even if you had had the file, you wouldn't have been able to do so, as the recovery partition is write-protected doing runtime, when you are s-on.

So I'll recommend that you do one of the 2 mentioned solutions(I'll be glad to provide further help)

edit: and for god sake don't just flash a ruu every time you are in doubt... There are almost certainly an easier solution, and by doing s-off, you can avoid ever having to run a ruu again, as you can restore the system 1 partition at a time if you feel like it.(sorry this was not directed at you but people in general, as meaple just suggested doing so)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk Moose:
in fact i was just trying to use unrevoked bu it stucks on bootloader, tells to check for drivers, despite the drives is installed. :/

p.s. and yes i have rooted my desire almost a year ago :) there was no unrevoked :)

any other suggestions? or just try to install ruu?

and about the rom manager, it gets me to the same red triangle. btw the recovery was fine till i installed leedroids rom about a month, and i noticed it only few days ago, when i tryed to update my rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DLCharge:
I just got a new Droid Charge today. It has the factory stock EE4, and I would like to root it. I have been reading and research this forum, and I am looking for some additional info.

Is there a way to root directly from factory EE4, or is it even possible from this point to go to stock ED1 root using Odin and update update update to ED4 from there?

Eager to get my root on!

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Install one of the Voodoo kernels from the development section... they automatically root you on boot.

If you don't want the Voodoo file system converts ions, be due to read the instructions inch how to disable it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If you don't want Voodoo, install my novoodoo kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Try this. Should have all the links you need right now. I won't be able to keep it up to date because it's locked, but it's still valid today :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] keithce:
I was a complete noob to Android before Friday. Didn't know a thing. Got all the OTA updates and was at stock EE4. I basically spent several days reading the forums and trying to understand everything. After doing so I was successful!

So, this is what I did. You need to use something that can be flashed with Odin first.

1. Flash JTs kernel (only) not one of the EE4 ROMs. I found that trying to flash an entire ROM didn't work in Odin because it couldn't find a PIT file even though I wasn't telling it to re-partition.

2. Then I flashed the entire EE4 deodexed with JT's kernel (posted by DroidXIcon) which included a working CWM.

3. Once you can recovery boot to CWM you're golden.

4. I went ahead and flashed the GummyCharged (and its awesome!)

5. I'm about to flash the PBJ kernel after seeing the speed improvements posted here in the forum.

One thing I found was that SuperUser wasn't working quite right from the ROM so I went to the market and updated it, which when I re-ran Superuser asked if I wanted to install an update at which point it requested root access and I was able to grant it. From then on, any application (titantium backup) that requested root, the notification appeared properly.

Cheers and Best of Luck!

my adb commands in windows cmd are not recognized. I have done the following and am trying to install a custom boot animation

-Installed android SDK

-Installed Java SDK

-Have phone charging only while in debugging mode

-Added environment variable on windows 7 pc

First install of sdk yielded no recognition of adb commands, reinstalled and adb help command worked so downloaded the bootanimation i wanted, went back to command, ran adb command again - not recognized as valid command. So it seems the adb script commands just aren't sticking...arrggg

UPDATE : I have adb running commands now, but my device is not recognized [error: device not found] I have installed the google usb drivers and manually installed them on my computer but do not know if they are working correctly, there are three:

-Android ADB interface

-Android Bootloader interface

-Android composite ASD interface

FIXED : 1.Needed HTC Sense driver for adb inteface, found standalone driver 2. adb commands wouldn't run unless your in the adb directory - duh

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H-KaN:
Hey guys,

I hope someone can help me or give me some good advices.

I have a wifi problem. Before the GS2 I had the HTC HD2 and never had any big problems with wifi. No matter if I was home or in the uni, it was always great.

With the GS2 though, its a wonder to get a good wifi signal.

I know when I say now, that I just have 1 line at the wifi bar you guys gonna kill me!! :D

I don't care about if it's 1 line or 2, the problem is, that this 1 line I lose everytime I wanna use the net. I never had this problem before. Also I can tell, that this problem I have everywhere I am. In the uni I have 1-2 lines, at my favourite cafe I have 0-1 lines just like at home. This is driving me crazy. I can't use the net at all like this. I don't have any other problems, not at all, just this wifi problem. I'm not sure if this pictures I took are useful, but I tried something out.

I did the speed test with the speedtest.net app in 4 different ways.

1. Picture: I hold the phone the normal way.

2. Picture: I hold the phone normal but raised my arm in the air. :confused:

3. Picture: I turned the phone around and hold it that way.

4. Picture: I turned the phone around and raised my arm in the air. :)

I hope someone can help me or give me any advices.

I love this phone. It's the best phone I have ever had so far, but I hate the bad wifi signal...:(

I also had no issues when I used the pub's wifi a few days ago
