Has anyone seen an issue with Wallpaper eating up their CPU when not using a live wallpaper? I am using Watchdog Pro and Wallpaper is warning at 40% to 50% every 5 to 10 min. Strange thing is that I am using a static wallpaper. I am trying to figure out what process is causing this issue (I am also seeing my battery drain and a quick rate because of this (my consumption rate is anywhere between 4 and 150 mA while sleeping, mostly 150). Since my wallpaper is static I am not sure why it is using any CPU. I have rebooted, wiped dalvik, and partition. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Wildfire General] auleu:
does this work with wildfire ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, but it's seriously outdated. You would be much better off using a 3.41 / 3.55 CFW, and, last I checked, it caused issues on the phone, like WiFi not working etc.
[Wildfire General] auleu:
can't i use the phone and install a cfw ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You don't need anything to install a 3.55 CFW. Just a disk which will store the CFW file. Jailbreaking the PS3 has gotten extremely easy after the release of 3.55 CFW's.

Short procedure:

- Update to 3.55 OFW (Original Firmware)

- Place the 3.55 CFW on a Disk (like a Flash Drive / External Hard Disk)

- Install CFW to the PS3 from Settings > Software Update

Done. CFW is installed and your PS3 is JB'ed. The detailed procedure and the files can be gotten from PS Exclusive sites like PSX-Scene.
[Wildfire General] auleu:
lol wow

i though it needed a payed usb dongle or an android phone, i will check that out , thx
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes, it was like that before CFW's were developed. You needed a "device" to JB. Not anymore.

Just make sure you do not update your PS3 to anything above 3.55, because, if you do, it is no longer jailbreakable.

I'm not a fan but want to try another company. I tried Zagg a couple of years ago and it felt like rubber and had orange peel, pulled it off after a day.

In the perfect world I would get one that looks clear, feels like glass and helps with finger prints.

What is your favorite and why?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I've tried Zagg and a bunch of others on my Evo 4G. The best one I had was this cheap 99 cent screen protector I got off amazon. Had it on for months with no scratches, and it looked and felt just like glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
options

Warning iphone in video,Well its reviewing screen protectors.

Looks like I can't have clear and no finger prints. I am considering these as well as a few others

What do you think?

July 18th full screen protection . Works great with defender otter . I could throw my last one on eBay :D
[HTC EVO 3D] saywhat4118:
I have ghost armor screen protector on my 3vo and they are the best in my opinion. Every phone I owned I bought ghost armor for them and didn't worry about the screen at all. Lucky for me, there is a ghost armor kiosk here in grapevine Texas so I just go there an they apply it professionally. I suggest it if your in the area.

Decided to go with Phantom Skinz

Decided to go with Phantom Skinz since it comes with a camera protector and I've read good reviews on their products

http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo3d.aspx
[HTC EVO 3D] tubesaq:
I first got an Invisible Shield for my TP2, but there was too much orange peel effect and it was too "sticky" so I changed to Phantom Skinz. Phantom Skinz was much better.

On my Evo 3D I have a Clarivue protector now and it seems like it's scratched on the bottom side... I think I might change to Phantom.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
can you upload some close up shots/picture of that SP? i'm interest in that its no finger print but not matte anti-glare?

My brother have a invisible shield one that's finger print resistant but is orange peel and not that smooth sliding
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
cool

I can let you know what I think about Phantom Skinz when it comes in. It shipped today should be in middle of next week
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
Boxwave Crystal Clear.

The problem is, Boxwave has been really dragging their feet in getting ANY accessories specific to the 3D. They just finally got a rubberized case for it, but that's it. No screen protectors yet. :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I ordered the BodyGuardz HD screen protector. These have anti-glare. Got it last night and it has a 'halo' effect. That is where the edges of the protector are not stuck onto the screen. It is not raised where it can easily become unpeeled. I wrote to BodyGuardz and they are sending me replacements that should work properly, which they claim are die-cut. A different manufacturing process that should work better.

Big plus for their customer support! I will post an update when I get them.
[HTC EVO 3D] ahess0815:
Zagg by far!
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I have always used Zagg until I tried XO Skins. I was going to buy a Zagg for my GTablet, but someone posted the XO Skin for it on sale, so I gave it a try. It is somewhat like the Zagg InvisibleShield, but has that glass like feel with no orange or yellowish tint over time. It is a wet application, but when it cures it looks like nothing is even there. They also have a lifetime warranty just like Zagg, so if anything ever happens, you get a free replacement.

I got my screen protectors on Monday and I have to say it is horrible. You don't get fingerprints on it but it looks like it is dirty all they time. IMHO they suck!
[HTC EVO 3D] RedWingsFan:
I had a Casemate brand protector on my EVO 4G and loved it. Now I have a Clarivue brand on my EVO 3D and love it just as much.

No tacky feeling, no orange peel look, and no adhesive/water required.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Anybody try OEM screen protector that Sprint sells?

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...=Carry+&+Protect&selectedAccessoryID=ZCH5009V
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
Absolutely horrible, do not get. They scratch so, so easy....can't even use a credit card to smooth out the bubbles. Several people in the forum have said the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Do they sell any good aftermarket ones at Best Buy or something? I just got my phone today and I want to protect my screen immediately instead of waiting for shipping.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
Zagg is at best buy
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I was in the same boat as you. BB only sells overpriced Zagg ones, and Sprint's have horrible reviews.

I eventually went with the Halo ones from Amazon. I'm very pleased, they were $6 including shipping for a pack of 3.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
Got my zagg for 15 at best buy, just ask them to price match radio shack.
[HTC EVO 3D] sanmanc:
I got my Zagg at Radio Shack for $15 and they installed it for me for free. They did a great job installing it too.
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
i bought this screenguard screen protectors $1 each (bought 3 actually) because someone here recommended them and this is by far the best screen protector i have ever use. You cannot tell you have a screen protector (super transparent). finger glide like glass and it was super easy to apply. i can also assure you that they are legit screen guard and comes with the original screen guard packaging. Stop buying expensive screen protector, spend and dollars and by this. you will not be disappointed.

I loved zagg on my blackberrys, but with a touch screen, not so much. I use calrivue for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] twincitiesjhawk:
I got this one too. I had a stienhiel on my og evo and loved it but I took the gamble on this one before I bought another stienhiel. This one exceeded my expectations and is as advertised. It's a great quality protector that doesnt look obvious its on the phone. The only downside to this one is the fingerprints it leaves behind. Im going to skip the stienheil on my evo 3d and get the matte protector from the same seller.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Is it dry or wet application?
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
the matte version of the screenguard cheap ebay one is dry apply, so the clear version should be dry apply also
[HTC EVO 3D] twincitiesjhawk:
Yep, its dry. Really easy to put on.
[HTC EVO 3D] babryan:
I went with the XO Skins too and agree that they are smooth with no orange peel. The only bad thing was that it did not completely cover the screen (short by about 1 or 2 mm in length). Otherwise, a very nice screen protector.

[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Dude I don't know what you got but I would recommend the phantom skinz protecter to everyone here. Ordered mine last Tuesday and got it on Saturday. It's a buy one get one free. It comes with a full screen protecter and cam protecter. Two sets for ten dollars shipped. And its not cheap plastic. It actually feels like a one step down from Zagg but very near thier products. Can't even tell I have one on. I bought it becuase of that very post and I love it. I Recommend this to all!!!!! BTW- COUPON ALERT!!!!! LOL. If you type in SUMMERSALE25 you get 25% off. It came out to like 7.50 shipped!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] plutonium7750:
Been using XO skins for a week.. nice and smooth.. sometimes it does seem slightly grippy.. Never tried zagg.. but def doesnt have a matte feel.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Thanks for this. The only screen protector I've ever tried was Zagg on my OG EVO, which I ended up peeling off less than 2 months later.

I'm hoping this doesn't feel rubbery like the Zagg did.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Ur welcome bro......only thing I didn't like was this........

But I reallly liked this....

I returned the zagg smudge-free and got this phantomskinz a couple of weeks ago. Yes, great price, and once it is applied, it is pretty good.

But if you are used to the zagg screen application, this is a PAIN! Even after soaking it, if you touch your finger on the sticky side (I do not see a way around it), the place where you touch it will have a mark after applying. Maybe the mark would have gone away after drying, but I ended up removing it, resoaking and reapplying.

And since this is soaking in water, I was really worried that the excess water would get into the phone somehow.

(I found that the Zagg on the other hand, with the spray applicator, was very easy to apply)

Anyway, it went ok... and it looks/feels good on the phone. but I really don't think I will get this again (just because of the trouble in applying it).

[HTC EVO 3D] mbuchholz:
I use a zagg invisishield... the regular clear one. My wife has the zagg anti-glare, anti-smudge one on her EVO4G and she hates it. I played around with her phone before getting my 3VO and that's why I went with the clear one. I've never even heard of many of these shields you guys have mentioned. I'm satisfied with my invisishield, but if it messes up I may seek an alternative. I'm not super-happy with how the zagg gets kinda sticky, but it's not a big enough deal to me to go spend money on something else yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
My phantom skinz is in the mail. Hopefully the install will go ok for me. I was actually going to try and use the spray they give you with the Zagg instead of soaking it in water. But somehow I can't find where I put the spray.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
I have the Bodyguardz ScreenGuard HD. That's the anti-glare (aka matte finish). I really like it. Not tacky, easy to glide finger and does reduce the glare. It's $16, but you can find coupons for 10-20% off. They have lifetime replacements, I think you just have to pay shipping.

[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
I've got the zagg smudge proof and anti glare. Good thing I work for best buy so I get them for like 3 bucks. Haha. Anyways. I like the matte finish, but I can tell its on there. Personally on my older t-mobile g2 I had the otterbox protector that came with a case and it was my favorite.
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
phantom skinz

Well I bought phantom skinz and not happy, difficult to install and not clear enough. It is better than Zagg with less orange peel and sticky/rubber feel. It looks ok when the screen is on but looks dirty when off. Some people say you can't see the screen protector well you can see phantom skinz , its not terrible and if you not picky its ok

Best thing and the reason I decided to try phantom skinz is for the camera protector.

So I bought 2 for $10 so if you want one I'll mail it for $5 but its not worth it.

Good news is I'm sure it will protect my screen untill I try another. And if you think you can't scratch the 3vo I have proof your wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] hankbear:
+1 for Steinheil

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AZ4KEW

I've tried them all, and the anti-fingerprint is the best, and Steinheil is the best of the anti-fingerprint ones. Even though the description doesn't say, you get two in case you mess one up. I hated the wet applications, and the little stickers they send really work to get every last bit of dust from behind the protector.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I have the PhantomSkinz one coming in the mail. There's a thread here somewhere about getting buy one get one free for like 7 bucks so I'm giving it a shot since I've never used that brand before.
[HTC EVO 3D] qualitymove13:
Phantomskinz

Received and installed today. First impression was it was reasonably easy to put on (and I am picky), resisted fingerprints well and had a horrible hazy (gritty) look to the screen. After a few hours of settling, and some bubble rubbing, its clear, doesn't feel too rubbery, and fits perfect on both the screen and the camera. Highly recommended at the price.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Um.... Which one...
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:

[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I got this same protector from the ebay auction, it is very very good. Highly recommended, installs very easily, perfect cut and clarity.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I'm using InvisibleShield by ZAGG, I've used it since they first came out for a device I had at the time and let me tell you, the quality did decrease a lot. I still don't have problems with the peeling or orangey, but now there are small tiny horizontal lines on them.

I did contact them and they said that it happens sometimes during the cutting process and that they will send me another one free of charge. I don't want to replace it though in case the one they send me has more lines on it 0.0
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I don't like the feel of the Zagg protectors.
[HTC EVO 3D] hankbear:
Of the wet application ones, I did really like these. But, the fingerprints and glare were more bothersome than the anti-fingerprint ones I've tried.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cleantypes111:
I just got the Zagg shield and installed it got the maximum protection on the website, which also comes with protection for the camera, for 50% off (follow Zagg on twitter and they usually give out codes) came out to like 15$ w/shipping and so far it is working out good. I'm going to try the carwax trick to make it smoother. Zagg are pretty good had one on my original evo never scratched and was overall good. Hope this helps people.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
What is the point of using liquid application protectors?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
My understanding is that it just aids in installation. With the wet installs, you can place the protector on the screen and then slide it around to get it perfectly in place. With dry installs, once it sticks there is no sliding it. You can peel it back up and relocate it, but you may get fingerprints or dust under it when doing so. I can install either and it turn out perfect, the wet installs are just a little more fool-proof. The best method for either install is after showering I stay in the bathroom with the door closed, thoroughly clean/wipe off your screen with appropriate screen cloth, then dip your fingers in alcohol( rubbing alcohol not liquor :-) ), then turn the shower on really hot and steam up the bathroom to eliminate any dust in the air, then apply the screen protector. Works perfect every time for me. I've also tried it with every step except the steamy bathroom, and it's amazing how many tiny dust particles are in the air that can get under your protector in such a short time frame...
[HTC EVO 3D] UhQ:
Ghost Armor and Phantomskinz were very nice on my 4g so I would assume the same for the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
Guys I went through a lot of zaggs, if applied correctly this is the best screen protector on have ever seen on a phone. Be careful if you have to remove it in order to reapply do not use your finger, use a piece of tape and pull it.

You cannot tell there is a screen protector there I can't believe I spent so much money on screen protectors that a one dollar one can beat
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Ahhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the enlightenment. :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
I have the phantonskinz screen protector on mine and like it a lot better than the zagg I had on the OG evo. I follow their steps on how to install up to the point on soaking the screen protector in water before removing it off the paper. After that I take some blue painter tape and cover all the ports and holes, and use my left over zagg solution and squeegee. Spray the screen with the solution and after i get it excatly where i want it squeegee out all of the solution and use a towel in the process to soak up the solution that come out.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Yup, I got the same one from ebay, it is the best one ever and you can't go wrong for $1
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
I get all my skins from bestskinsever.com very good quality at a great price! I have my evo skinned right now.

Oh but currently they seem to be out of stock :-(. I'll be keeping my eye on them
[HTC EVO 3D] kiserian:
Ive got a ZAGG protector, has worked good. But it has orange peel texture, and is kinda sticky/ rubbery feeling. Finger prints show up very easily.
[HTC EVO 3D] stc1:
I had a screen protector on my EVO 4g that I got at Radio Shack that was made by htc (has their logo on it) and I'm trying to find one for the 3d. The package lists shopamerica.htc.com as a site for more info but I can't even find the 4g screen protector there. I work with cement and silica sand and this screen has held up very well. Does anyone know where to get this screen protector? By the way when I went back to radio shack the sales guy said they never had them (big help). Thanks, Rick
[HTC EVO 3D] tinmanchris:
Which one from ebay did you get? The clear or the matte? If clear, how bad is the glare?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I have both the clear and the anti-glare from FLSuperstore, and although I haven't installed the anti-glare, holding it to the screen shows it as very clear, to the point where I can't tell if it's the same as the clear or not. It's hard to tell if there really is any anti-glare properties because the two backing pieces are still on it and they reflect like a clear protector would. But it is definitely not like the other matte screen protectors out there.

As for the glare on the clears, it's the same as the stock glass, which is to say, pretty bad. It's the same as any of the clear screen protectors, it actually might even be slightly worse than glass alone. But like I said, right in line with the Steinheil crystal clear I had on my Evo4G. It doesn't really get the haze/yellow tint I had on some of the other cheap protectors I've used, wipes off clean and I haven't gotten any scratches on it to date, a testament to me taking better care of my phone (I busted the charging port on my Evo4G) and perhaps to the screen protector. I normally get quite a few scratches on these things. I was going to try the anti-glare after this one got scuffed up a bit, but it's kept itself pretty well. I'll try to report back when I get the anti-glare on my phone.

You can buy them from ebay from seller FLSuperstore, or from www.flsuperstore.com

They sent me a receipt with a promo code, FLORDER for 5% off their website. whoop-dee-doo
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I picked it up from this link http://www.ebay.com/itm/250840341278?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1380wt_1000

So yes, it is the clear one and as just stated the glare is pretty much the same as if you were looking at just the glass alone.

Honestly I cant say enough good about the protector though. I have zero scratched on it still, where as I have tried many "premium" protectors and they just get scratched up from daily use. The cut is superb, it fits the screen perfectly. And for $1.48 shipped how can you not try it!
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I'm going to order 2 or 3 of the clear ones from FLsuperstore tonight. Like stated above, how can you not give them a try at that price! Currently I'm using an Otterbox screen protector that cane with my Impact ( have a spare that came with my Commuter). I am very very happy with it!! It feels great, like.... is not when there. Also looks like it's not even there also. Although Zagg is basically unscratchable, I can't stand the way they feel, and you can see it on the phone as well. My Otterbox has 0 scratches on it after a month of use. To be fair though, it does stay in a Defender case half the time, so the built-in screen protector is being used and not the one on the phone. Another nice thing worth mentioning, i get no bubbles, or water effect, whatever you want to call it, like I did with my Zagg screen protector and Ballistic HC built-in screen protector on my Evo 4G. Though I can't say if that was fault on Zagg's part or Ballistic. All I know is its a thing of the past now with my 3Devo and Otterbox setup!!! Couldn't be happier. So if any one is considering a Impact or Commuter case, remember that you'll be getting free screen protector with purchase. May kill 2 birds with one stone for some of you, as it also did for me :)
[HTC EVO 3D] rubber guard:
I have had a total of 2 Zaggs on my evo for the first 13 or so months and I've been very happy, sure a little gloss is gone and fingerprints show up to a certain extent.

Radioshack has them for cheaper, so ive gotten best buy to price match and then had them install for $18 each time, not bad when best buy normally sells them for $20 sans installation.

When i bought a xoom, same thing. a little more expensive (25+15 installation) but it was a smart investment. same fingerprint issue, but nothing a little cleaner (windex works fine) cant fix.

when my gf got her thunderbolt i had her go to the best buy and get the same guy that installed my zaggs, and she has been happy with hers too.

if installing wasn't so hard, id feel ok with buying other types, but id rather pay $8 and have peace of mind regarding lifetime guarantee of fit/installation.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
The screen protector that comes with the rubber otterbox case is doing me justice. Actually more justice than the case itself on the account of me throwing it away for a case from seidio that was purchased with my extendo batt. Went on clean, no peel, good feel, no bubbles, I barely even notice its there.

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
[HTC EVO 3D] TylerMF:
+1 more for Ghost Armor. I've got it on all my devices, and It's the best in my opinion. It's smooth (not sticky feeling like Zagg), and it helps with the fingerprints a lot! Best option out there for me!
