Just installed the Phantom Skinz screen protector. Wow, perfect fit! A couple small areas of haziness, but I expect those to be gone in the next few days.
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
I did find that the next morning I had a couple of "blurry" areas when I looked at my screen. With the screen off I noticed those spots were a little raised than other areas. It's water trapped underneath the skin. Use the back of your fingernail and "roll" it out. My finger was hurting after a bit and if I look closely I can tell where I "rolled" out the water but I've got no blurry spots anymore.
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Yeah, it's because of the water used in the install and I am sure the drop of baby soap recommended in the directions doesn't help much either. Be careful not to use more than a drop or two of baby soap, if any at all. The soap is just to make the film more slippery when doing the install. It will even do that if there are not any "raised areas" and it will generally dissipate in a day or two.
[HTC Sensation] :
Anyone applied the Carbon skin yet, can you post some hires shots? $30 is alot, for that price could get 15 nice TPU cases and 10 screen protectors!
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
+1 on this. Just want to see some photos.
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
hmm the chormatics all show the logo.. but i wonder about the carbon fiber one
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
After the questionable 1980's guitar riffing going during the install video, i'm extremely hesitant. ;)
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Okay, I emailed them this morning on whether or not the HTC logo on the back cover was going to be uncovered (THEY SAID LOGO WILL BE UNCOVERED BTW) and I also asked about the carbon fiber. They said the HTC logo on the back cover of the carbon fiber WILL be uncovered as well. But, they did say you can ask for them not to cut it out of the film in the notes section of the order page. They seem really cool about it, so it must not be hard for them to do it either way.

I am planning on buying the Chromatics for the wife's phone in another week or two and I will put up another "hands on" with pics.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I decided to buy these screen protectors. How long does it take to arrive in the UK?
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
I'm buying a full body skin from this company today. Does anyone know how long First Class mail usually takes?
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
I received mine in about 3-5 days I believe
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Well Phantom Skinz shipping is slow as hell. Haven't received mine yet and tomorrow makes Day 6 since I got the "shipped" notice. I hate expecting something to show up on a day and it doesn't. Maybe next time I'll just choose Priority Shipping.......I'm too impatient for slow boat crap.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
+1 still not received mine.

FINALLY today received my Phantom Skinz cover and installed it. I'll have pictures up momentarily....
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
yea phantomskinz shipping is slow as ****...

anyways I ordered the SGP Matte one from sgpstore.com. just throwing it out there
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I got told my order will be delivered within 2-4 weeks!

Ordered on the 30th June. Didn't know international delivery should take this long!
[HTC Sensation] ballu84:
I hate phantom skinz. I ordered online and it took ages coming in the mail, even though their shipping address is like, 15 mins away from mine. After that, took it to the store to get it installed, and they gave it back to me and said the haziness on the screen would go away in 24 hrs. It didn't and only got worse. They replaced it but this time around there were tons of scratches on the screen protector which they said was from the squeegee. I'm just tired of driving 15 miles out of my way to the mall to get it replaced constantly so I'm just going to get it ghost armored the next time i go to the mall.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Well I've succesfully screwed up both my Phantom Skinz covers. This isn't my first time installing a body skin so I'd like to assume that I have "some" skill. But no matter what, I cannot get these corners to stick. I mean I literally sat with my palm over each corner for 20-30 minutes (per corner) and thats a little absurb considering its never been this difficult installing a skin before on my previous phones (Nexus S, HD7, myTouch 4G).

Can someone tell me what the hell the deal is with this skin?
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Dang man, you almost have it. I tried warning that the install wouldn't be easy...

Try putting a bit more water on the parts that aren't staying down, then put some scotch tape over them overnight.

Did you happen to use a lot of soap during the install? Using to much can have an adverse effect. I think the say one drop, per 32 ounces of water. I use one drop in an 8 oz glass and I never had problems, but even that is supposedly too much.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Mine arrived today :D

It's really smooth.

I noticed i got some haziness going on.

Hopefully they go away... Sorry for the poor quality, used my Wildfire.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
I just put scotch tape around the corners to hold them down. I'll let it sit for quite a few hours and let you know the outcome.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Guru, the picture I posted a few posts above with the haziness.. it should go away right?

And about the lifetime warranty, is that only for the US?

Phantomskinz is better than Zagg. Smoother and easier to install.

I was going to buy the full body or the matte finish but I wasn't too sure on how it would feel. I had the Zagg full body on my Wildfire and it made it feel like cheap plastic. Waste of money. The matte body looks interesting. Would like to try it one day.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Well...I can tell you that I tried the hair dryer on my first skin and that didn't help it. I put scotch tape around the corners of my second one and let it sit for around 6 hours and it stuck for a good 10 minutes. But now it looks like it did before. So I have officially screwed up both skins.......I'd much rather not put a bulky case on my phone but the corners not sticking urks me!
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
cut the bits that stick up off.
[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
I've done that on my first skin and can't stand the way it looks and feels. It looks a lot cleaner if it can lay down properly. I'd prefer not to cut it.....
[HTC Sensation] ballu84:
See, that's the thing. I'm tired of being jacked around. Even when I pointed the scratches out to the guy at the counter, he started bs'ing me, and talking about the g2x and about how it has a curved glass and so it's difficult to install it on that, and the whole time i'm thinking, "WTH does that have to do with my sensation????". So even with a new install, I don't wanna wait for the haziness to go away for 24 hrs and then realize that it didn't. As far as a free re-install is concerned, i can get that anyways since i'm still within my 7 day period from the last install.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
The hazing has gone, but I noticed some wrinkles... Is that normal?

[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
i went ahead and sent a $3.00 check in for my warranty replacement today. Hopefully it doesn't take a couple months.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Overall I tonight this is better than zagg. Smoother, less orange peel effect. Price is ok, but you get 2 online. I love the soft touch you get using this. Installation was a breeze.

Pros:

- easy install. Much easier than zagg.

- very smooth

- very nice soft touch while using the screen.

- get 2 of what you order online.

- first really well even with the curved edges.

- corners go on without any bubbles

- very clear

Cons:

- gathers a lot of lint on the edges.

- has a little wrinkle effect. (Don't know if it due to my installation)

- lint and dirt sticks more than other protectors.

Would I buy it in the future? If it was cheaper I definitely would. I use the summer sale coupon on mine and made the total cost more reasonable.

Took 10 days to be shipped to the uk despite being told i should get it between 2-4 weeks. So I was pretty pleased with that.

Just time will tell to test the durability.

[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
Turn around time is pretty quick. I did a warranty replacement a year and half ago and it took about 7 days.

Not sure why a couple of people complained about delivery taking just over a week when Phantom Skinz ships for free, but I didn't want to argue...
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
I ordered the Matte Full Body Kit today and just have received info that the kit was shipped. Unfortunately there is not any track number mentioned, therefore asked the Customer Service. Let us see how much time will it take delivering to Türkiye.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I brought naked shield 2 weeks ago on ebay for $5.50, pretty clean install, glossy but looks nice. I just hate the fact that the phones feel rough in the hands, other than that anyone still using theirs from the summer?

Just thought I'd throw this out there but it sounds you should sell some add space. It is a great site and the traffic is only going to increase, especially once you get all the "how too's" posted. Then you'll get return "business". You could finally make a little $ for your time and effort. Good job, keep up the good work. In the meantime, I'll figure out how to make a donation using paypal and hope others follow my example.

Sorry, I don't have any information for you on a different web hosting service.

How do I "sell" ad space?

Ya, the first day of launch it got 500 people visiting it. It's increasing daily. I basically used up my monthly bandwidth limit in less than a week's time. And my website doesn't even show up on google yet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkHorse281:
Check this out. I found it after a quick google search. There were tons of others but this one was very infirmative and offered several different methods of how to do it. Think about who your perspective clients are and I believe that your site will sell itself. Show them the numbers and make it attractive for those that get in on the ground level. Then as it gets more traffic you can change your method of billing or charge more, or even have some length to your contracts. Check this out:

[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
I would like to change to for example 'every 15mins'. The 3 accounts all being pushed is taking its toll on my battery.
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Ehhh... the whole idea of "push" is that new emails are pushed from the server. As opposed to your phone "pulling" them from said server. So no, you cannot. Even switching off sync will not impact your receiving emails on gmail.

However, there are apps out there (search for it) that will enable your data connection and/or sync function periodically. This one you can set for 15 mins, 1 hour, or whatever the app offers and you want.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
I'm pretty sure if you disable gmail sync you don't get emails anymore through the stock gmail app at least.
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:
+1 Turn off Sync you wont get any emails...thats what i do
[Atrix 4G General] iOSlulz:
Grrrr....was afraid that was going to be the result
[Atrix 4G General] kstricl:
Actually, you can switch off push, IF you start using the moto blur corporate email. Lookup the settings for active sync, it uses the microsoft exchange method for email access, and also syncs calendar and contacts. Once setup, open the account through messages, and turn off push. I did this, and my battery life tripled.
[Epic 4G General] Jzar:
I like many downloaded and ran the DK28 froyo upgrade when it came out only for official releases to come out later down the line.

I stood with DK28 until now because for the most part it worked really well. Ten, I started encountering random problems from the phone never calling out successfully on the first attempt to the wifi refusing to turn on unless I turned the phone off then back on.

I have gotten tired of these problems as well as sluggish performance. I wanted to update to the last official build. Are we on EC05?

What is the easiest way to do this? I am not rooted. I have never used Odin or the samsung updater. I am not that tech savvy on my own but can easily follow well explained steps.

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

[Epic 4G General] Jzar:
I simply ran it as an update.zip and it was like receiving a pseudo OTA. I never rooted because I never had a reason to. I am tempted to root now so that I can create a backup of apps and maybe some texts.

Since I am not rooted, could I simply run EC05 as another update.zip file or will this simply not work.

Hi all,

Has our hummingbird processor been fully optimized in gingerbread? Or there are still potentials?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
theres a ton of potential
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Then why aren't Google keen on optimizing it...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Because it's already optimized? Sure Google could optimize it some more, but they're working on optimizing dual-core processors now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Best guess is that its already good to run smoothly, any further optimization will be transparent to end users ...

Hope that they do something to get better battery life, and improve web browsing experiencing :)

I was on AA ROM V5 and wanted to switch back to ACS frozen. So I was following the instructions and flashing. I successfully flashed EC05 stock, and I was flashing the CWM 3.1.0.1 tar here. After it said it had finished flashing, it had the symbol which was a phone with an arrow pointing to a computer. I tried to flash EC05, but it kept failing immediately. I tried one last time, and then it got stuck. I waited twentyish minutes then pulled the battery to try again. Now the phone won't respond to anything.

Keep battery out, then plug in usb. see if that gets you into download mode.

[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
now i know this will generate all sorts of hubbub, but the iOS 5 notification center looks really awesome. it IS a pretty blatant rip-off of their main competitor (and frankly something THEY would have taken google to court for), but they have some really sweet differences.

i'm hoping something similar shows up in android soon since i will NEVER be switching to ANY iOS device EVER. it just looks like it will be pretty cool. am the only one who thinks this?
[Vibrant General] subzerold:
Wrong forum.
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
dude, like 95% of your posts are negative, troll-esque comments. how about just share your thoughts on the topic? why be 'that guy'? seriously...
[Vibrant General] fliparsenal:
I'm pretty sure that once its released, the uneducated hive mind that is apple fans will declare that android stole their notification style.

Steve Jobs will again proclaim it to be innovative and new, and whatever new iphone it will be released in will sell millions.

In all seriousness, I actually like their "new" notification tray- it just looks better than Android IMO.
[Vibrant General] djluis48:
I do think it looks pretty nice, but thats to be expected from apple. But that was souch a low hit...are they running out of ideas? Hm...
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
Ha! i literally thought the same thing.

i also think that having widgets in the drop down is pretty cool too.
[Vibrant General] MailenJokerbell:
I thought it looked pretty awesome.

But I will quote myself from past, present and future and say that I will NEVER buy an Apple device.

Dunno, it's just some hate I've had towards it since the first iPod (so, pretty much when I first realized that company existed)

Never owned an apple product (Don't listen to music and being a gamer wouldn't stand Mac OSX) and never will, apparently.

Linux + Android will keep me company forever.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I had a thread on this very topic... also wrote on my blog that the thing that pissed me off the most about them ripping it off, is that they brought their polish to it, and Google has let it sit stagnant for 3 years... Google really should try to improve the UI more.

This may also help people from moving to phones with custom UI (ala slower updates).
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
complteley agree.

2.2 to 2.3 what did google do? a few hardware accelerations and make the icons in the notification green.

yeayyyyyyy gingerbread.
[Vibrant General] Senorkabob:
And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt Gingerbread supposed to be a HUGE leap from a UI standpoint? Yay. We received green icons.
[Vibrant General] SimeonAS89:
This person has all the right ideas lol. I totally agree, and it's almost as if their running out of ideas of their own. I mean seriously, what else can you do to the iPhone? Oh wait rip the camera from WP7 too lol.

Of course, it'll sell millions and all of your little iPhone using friends will brag about how their new 5 year old toy is better than yours.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
Am I the only one who doesn't actually think the iOS 5 notification is worse than Android?

Just look at it this way. If you have CM7 (or Samsung ROMs for that matter) you literally have thousands of options for style and theme of that menu. Yes the stock ones don't look as good as the Apple one but that's why you are on XDA and have hundreds of themes. Some of those themes really go circles around the Apple theme they used. Last I checked, iOS5 also didn't offer you the option of theming that notification center. . . you are stuck with it forever.

As for widgets in the notification bar...quite honestly I can't think that would be a good idea. You put a few widgets and the whole menu is taken....then you have to scroll up and down to see things....which effectively defeats the point of a notification dropdown menu. Yes it's useful if you are in an app...but that's the only place I see it being useful and as far as I remember Android is GREAT at mutitasking. iOS is not and neither does it have widgets...hence why it makes sense for iOS5 to have this feature.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
I haven't used straight stock Android in quite a while, so I don't know how much/little the UI changed. My understanding was Google would attempt to improve the mechanics of the OS and if you want something nice you modify it. However I also think it would be silly of Google to put too much time into modifying the UI since they let the manufacturers ruin it any way (depending on your take).
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
yeah i agree with most of what you said. i was referring more to the functionality of it rather than the look of it. I just love the slide to open feature for facebook, sms, voicemail, etc. maybe i don't have the best facebook or twitter apps, but i rarely get notifications for them (which is more likely a failing of facebook and twitter for having poor push notification implementation and not a shortcoming of android). and also, i like the tiny drop down that will give you a preview of a text or twitter mention (that is similar to the ticker). while in apps that hide the notification bar (i.e. most games and camera apps) i'd just like a heads up that i got a text without having GoSMS halt everything with a popup.
[Vibrant General] treyvaporizer:
No the opposite actually. It was supposed to improve majorly upon the performance. Not the UI, they (Google) stated that there were very few visual differences between froyo and gingerbread.
