Wow. You sound like me coming jumping into DOS back in the day. There are plenty of books available (and XDA of course) but ya know.....I learned more from screwing up my old IBM 8088 (orange display...yikes!) than almost anything else. Having the possibility of an expensive paperweight tends to REALLY motivate one to learn! :)

You're in the right place, IMO, for specific task-assistance. (If ONLY XDA existed in the early-mid 80's!) There's a wealth of information and tons of good people who were where you are now. Willing to pay it forward....search the forums and ask.

Reading...experimenting...reading....experimenting....and of course...BACKING UP are great tools and habits.

What do you guys think of HTC's take on Swype? Personally I hate it, doesn't seem to guess words right....

I just downloaded Swype Beta from the website, it works so much better!!!

I believe the beta is still open to all who sign up, so if you guys are looking for an alternative check it out!
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
The problem is with the swype keyboard is if you don't want to swype, the keyboard sucks
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
Not anymore, now it has the horizontal word choice window just like other keyboards (with auto correct)... so you can swipe or tap as you like.

The ultimate keyboard would be if SwiftKey and Swype had a love child....

Hi, i bought this phone an lg bl40 new from 100 euros, but now i´m not very happy with OS developed by LG, so i was wondering if is possible to install new OS, i mean from android or from windows. If yes, could you people help me step by step what to do? Or there is nothing to do with this cell phone...
[General Questions and Answers] cbren:
I do not believe so, because it runs S-Class operating system, a completely different operating system than Android. Also, after searching, no one has brought up a way to put on a new operating system that I could find. Sorry though!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iImmortality:
I got my tb yesterday and have since scoured this website (or atleast the tb sub forum) and got it all rooted and stuff, running the Das DAMF 3 Ginger with MR2 Radio ROM, and I had some questions about a couple of things. 1) What's a good temperature for the tb to be running at? I'm noticing the temp to be around 100.6 F. Is that good/bad? 2) Instead of the messages being staggered (as they were in the stock Sense 2 that the tb came with) all of my received messages pile up from oldest to newest starting at the top, and below the newest received message my messages start with my oldest to newest from from top to bottom. Basically, is there a way I can change the message interface to stagger the texts I receive/send?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
Can't comment on the messaging thing, I used Handcent. But for temp, if thats what you idle at then yes you have a big problem. It should be idling more around 80-90* Fahrenheit at most. Anything 100* or above is really not good and you should back off from the phone and let it cool.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iImmortality:
No, not idling at 100, when I start using it and start browsing internets/launching apps/messaging and stuff is when it gets to around ~100.

My cousin dropped his off his lap while gettin out his car, not even 2feet off the ground. I thought we had gorilla glass. Didn't take much for the first drop to break.
[HTC EVO 3D] dosplunder:
I don't get why people complain. Gorilla glass does not mean indestructable. If you drop you phone on concrete and it lands a certain way it may break. Stop dropping your phone is the best solution imo.

Our phone doesn't have gorilla glass
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
That's why I bought an Otterbox the exact same time I got the phone so I know I could **** it up if I did even tho I rather have a ballistics hard core case
[HTC EVO 3D] grad20_09:
the more scratch resistant something is (gorilla glass) the more brittle it is (easier to crack).
[HTC EVO 3D] nabbed:
Nope.

1) There's no direct correlation between brittle and hard. An advanced material, like Gorilla Glass, *may* be harder and less brittle at the same time compared to regular glass.

2) If I remember correctly, all Gorilla Glass demonstrations of the past involved smashing a small piece with a hammer. Gorilla Glass is definitely less brittle than regular glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] SAShady:
Again, we do not have gorilla glass
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Why would you state that?

Do you really think after the EVO 4g and EVO Shift they would just stop using gorilla glass on the EVO line?
[HTC EVO 3D] flyingwolf:
Dont remember my 4g having GG either...
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
No need to remember, here is the proof.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

Unless of course corning is lying for some odd reason.

I mean ****, even the G1 had gorilla glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Just because a device has gorilla glass (not saying the 3vo has it) doesn't mean its shatter proof....
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
+1 no one said it was gorilla glass. What I read was it is HTC version of a gorilla type of glass, but not "gorilla glass".
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
If it only dropped 2ft. How on earth are there 3 impact spots on the screen? Did you drop it on a bed of spikes?

I call bull****, I think you hit it a few times with something. It doesn't look right for a single drip from 2ft.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lmao might of had butter fingers :D never really believed the EVO had gorilla glass I know a few phones that did have it **** was thick . EVO no way lol . Even if that one site is blowing up ur skirt sayin it does :o never broke a screen :p
[HTC EVO 3D] peacekeeper05:
Evo 3d does not have gorilla glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] pkny:
Glass would be brittle. It is just the nature of ceramic materials.

In this test you talking about. Was the glass suspended by two support point with the impact load being in the middle? Or was the middle slowly being pushed down?

these mobile glass test should be done horizontally normal to a side or corner. to imitate a fall. A normal load from the surface test is for test people punching their phones or a stressful push.

Would anyone here know the density of our screen? Maybe it is the same as the corning glass but from a different manufacture.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
HTC makes special mention of Gorilla Glass as a feature item for products that actually use it. They do NOT feature it as a specification item for EVO 3D. For those that think it uses it, I challenge you to find ONE spec sheet (from HTC) that mentions it for the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
This thread made me get an Otter Box. The sells dude at the Sprint store tossed his phone unto the ground, and then tossed it against a cabinet, where it then bounced all over the floor and the phone was fine. $35 well spent.
[HTC EVO 3D] Irishman42:
Every time a new phone comes out, someone drops one "from only 2 feet" and it breaks, and they act surprised. Glass breaks guys, I don't care if it's Gorilla glass, monkey glass or whatever, it's glass. Bottom line is, if you don't want a busted phone, don't drop it. LOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyingwolf:
I stand corrected.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] royshero:
I think if it hits the ground corner first your screwed. Any way the do have gorilla glass. Every HTC phone does I believe

3evoD
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
Incorrect. HTC makes their own proprietary glass, which they consider to be very comparable to GG and use on many of their phones. They use GG on SOME of them.

Corning GG does not list the 3D as one of the phones with it, though that might mean that its only not been updated recently.

The fact that in no spec's anywhere, nor on the Corning GG site is the 3D listed as having it, means it most likely does not.

Here is HTC's response to me, regarding it being GG, my 2nd question to them in my email / and the SS of the email here http://tinypic.com/r/rc4lxx/7 :
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Sorry, wrong

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

Unless they are lying.
[HTC EVO 3D] HammDroid:
For what its worth, the 3D was not listed on Corning's site, in addition to the fact that I was going off what HTC started to me in an email, which I did post the SS of.

So, either HTC lied, didn't know what they were talking about or the manufacturing process changed from the original 3D's.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
There has been a lot of misinformation about the evos' having gorilla glass. Neither of them do, and they don't have a glass comparable to gorilla glass either. Some tard from HTC leaked info about it, was incorrect and it has stuck ever since. Replace the housing, LCD, glass + digitizer all in one piece from Ebay for 50 bucks and it will be brand me in mint condition again, that's what I did, won an auction for 49 bucks, saved myself 600 bucks
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
It says it does on the gorilla glass site. The thing is gorilla glass just sux. My nexus got scratched the first day and busted a week later.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
man i must be super lucky. i dropped mine outta my lap when i was getting outta my f250 with a 6 inch lift saturday night. thought for sure it was toasted since it landed right on the screen. a couple little nicks in the alum. frame is all that it suffered. and of course it had to be the day i didnt have the case on it errrrrr.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
My screen just shattered yesterday. I dropped it from waist height right on its screen. It looks very much like the picture in OP. I am very sad. Now I will almost certainly be getting a HBOOT 1.50 replacement, and I will need to use HTC's lame unlock method. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
It does say the Evo 3D has Gorilla Glass right on the Gorilla Glass site. We know for a fact that the screen glass is not Gorilla Glass so you know what that means: the only piece of Gorilla Glass on this phone is the back glass that covers the camera! I've always said that based on GG reporting that the Evo 3D has it, coupled with the fact that the front screen breaks if a friggin gnat lands on it: means it probably does have Gorilla Glass: it's just that the only piece of GG on the phone is the little ~2 inch piece on the back that covers the camera. I know that piece is tough: how many reports have you seen of that breaking or even scratching? And that's on the back of the phone where most people set it down/rest it. Anyway, that's my bet: sh*t glass on the screen, GG glass on the camera.

[HTC EVO 3D] jr71x:
I have an og EVO and have dropped it like a hundred times but sadly I did the same exact thing, dropping off of my lap onto concrete... Go to amazon, the digitizer shouldn't be too much as mine is like $11... So for you, prob $20-$25? As for the gorilla glass, every place I've read specs for said the 3d does have it but that was before it came out so idk... Good luck bro;)
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
yes! I got a replacement from Asurion with HBOOT 1.30!

[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I posted a ways back about replacing the screen. If you are worried that replacing the digitizer and glass is too much for you, do what I did and via Ebay buy the LCD, glass and digitizer, and housing all in one piece. 49 bucks! My phone looks brand new!
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
i don't understand why everyone keeps saying it doesn't have gorilla glass when corning website clearly says it does. unless someone can provide a link proving it doesn't then i guess it does.

link has been posted saying it does so nobody else should say it doesn't without providing a link.

---------- Post added at 03:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 AM ----------

this is the way to do it. spend the extra little for both pieces. if u just buy the digitizer it is a ***** to separate the original lcd from the shattered digitizer because of the glue. that is what i have heard
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Update. Sad news. The phone delivered by Asurion rebooted constantly. I had to send it back. Still waiting for the replacement. I'm hoping for HBOOT 1.30 again. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] palekillerwhale:
It's not difficult to have your local Sprint store replace the screen. I replace 3-4 screens a day on average.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
All the more reasons to get a defy
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
You are 100% correct, this coming from a person who has attempted to do it. I cracked the LCD just attempting to separate the glass from the LCD. I paid roughly the same amount for just the glass as I did for the entire housing, LCD, glass and digitizer. It is just way more sense to save the hassle, not to mention risk. Also, if you don't center the glass just right the phone looks and functions horribly. Oh and if you pry wrong and damage the digitizer (which is simply just a thin film on the under side of the glass) the phone will have dead spots, if it even works at all
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I have used an Otterbox Defender since June. I actually had to drive to Bradenton, FL, which is 20 Miles away, because I got it early due to the Premier First to Buy Program and the Store literally 3 Miles away in Sarasota refused to sell me one because the Phone had not reached General Release. I hate the Store down the Street. It would be one thing if they did not have it in Stock, but they actually did and still refused to.

I too have read in numerous places that the 3D employs Gorilla Glass. Regardless of Glass, if dropped on Concrete, the results are not going to be pretty. While I wish the Defender had a smaller form factor, the Commuter does not offer protection to the Camera Pod. There are now many other choices that split the difference between the 2 Otterbox Cases I write of, but in June that was not the case.

While I have Insurance as well, it is a drag to deal with them and reconfigure another 3D. Unfortunately I had to do that recently due to issues with Call Quality and Reboots in my Launch Model. I ended up getting a Refurbished 3D from Sprint that is unfortunately Hboot 1.50 which really is a bummer.

However, since Netflix became available, my desire to Root has been placated. I Rooted my 4G primarily to watch Hulu. However, ever since Netlix has been available, I far prefer not dealing with the Commercials. When/if there is a simple way to Root 1.50 3D's, I will definitely do so. Especially if ICS is delayed or HTC decides not to offer it. It would be quite a shock if they did not offer Ice Cream Sandwich on the 3D however.

Cheers,

JJ

Hey. i was wondering if anyone else was getting freezes and issues when listening to music from the sd card using the default android music app in CM7.

For the last couple of weeks my phone will play music for a little while just fine but then randomly the music app will freeze up, my sd card will stop working and so far the only way I have found to fix it is to restart the phone. sometimes the phone wont even restart properly, so i have to pull the battery to get it to work again.

I ordered a new sd card online today, so hopefully when it comes the problem will be fixed. But for now it is very annoying and i was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and can confirm for me that it is the sd card and not some other problem

thanks

Hi I'd like to know how to make my phone rootable ( WITHOUT ADB ).

Long story short, I'm in intense anger due to opensource material being harder to flash/root than locked source (PSP CFW).

I've tried to run this tainted Android SDK whatever it tries to do and it does nothing.

Then they want me to add this ADB that makes even less sense.

Is there a ADB/SDK free way of downgrading?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Any of the latest GB ROMs for DesireHD that have hit the streets lately like the Asian WWE, Telus or the Australian one from a week or so ago (or custom ROMs based on these) will work using the libstagefrighthw.so file from the Pyramid Sense 3.0 ROM (which is what the Virtuous Unity ROM is based on so you can copy from that). Hopefully HTC will have an updated lib file before the US 2.3.3 release, but I'm not holding my breath.

So, short answer: your friend will probably go back to iPhone. Ask him how much to buy his Inspire.
