i have the evo 3d and today i had my phone in my back pocket while im at work becuase i dont want to damage it. i pulled the phone out to check the time and at the bottom left of the screen it said, "safe mode".. just wondering if anyone has seen this or know what can be done with safe mode, maybe it can help you all in some sort of way. just thought i'd share..
[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:

[HTC EVO 3D] T3hPWN:
Hes Just being an ass because this was discussed since the day the phone came out. turn the phone on and let the htc screen boot up and then hold Volume down and it takes you into safemode. nothing special doing that yet. but yup its already been posted.
[HTC EVO 3D] peekywhop2:
oo well i did a search an nothing returned on the topic so i posted, sry. but i didnt do that to get into safe mode thats another thing my phone was on in my pocket the whole time, thats odd.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
That is kind of weird. If you find it happening again just factory reset and it should go away.

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
What does safe-mode do exactly?
[HTC Sensation] durps:
This is mainly for the people who usually run or have used their phones naked, ie no case or skin protectors on the back.

I'm really ocd about having a lot of scratches on my phones so I usually run a body guard protector on the back because I don't like cases. I am using a body protector but it sucks, Phantom Skinz to be exact and it never sticks to the corners so I gave up on it. I don't recommend it.

I'm just going to use it naked on the back, but how beat up is the back of your phone?

Try to include if you use a case

How long you have had it

Any falls/drops/etc

When you lay your phone somewhere, do you lay it on the back or front

And pics

:D
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
No scratches on mine. Only use a case when lifting at the gym (arm band for listening to music).
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
How would you scratch a matte cover?
[HTC Sensation] durps:
The middle part is very prone to scratches.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Zero scratches. Have had the phone since June 15th and no cover at all. I do keep my phone separate from keys and everything else that would scratch it - Also clean it everyday with wet, no-lint paper towels.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
None for me. I've had the same back cover since June 22nd. I thought I had one, but it went away when I cleaned it with some alcohol.
[HTC Sensation] tech_p:
been a month now, no case just screen protector, dropped like twice and still no scratches,
[HTC Sensation] tech_p:
damn sorry for the big ass pics, lol
[HTC Sensation] Knight2040:
Been running my naked since day one, I have slight scratches right under the power button that do not rub off, no where else. The phone is in my pocket most of the day.
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
Mine is not. I put a full body zagg skin on it.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
No case here neither. I don't believe in them. It takes away from the phone, the slim naked feel and such.

None, its in my pocket most of the time and on a desk at work or school, screen up off course. The chrome part around the ear piece looks like it can get scratched easy because I put coins in my phone Pocket and I guess scratched it. Not visible unless under direct light but still good.

Thank God this phone doesn't have a chrome piece around the bezel because I hated that and if it got scratched I'd go nuts just starring at it. I have ocd about keeping my phone in a mint condition as well.
[HTC Sensation] vibes2000:
No protective case or skin since purchase date of 6/15, still not a scratch.
[HTC Sensation] HighTech216:
Baddd

I use a case for the HD7, seems to fit the best for the type of case i was looking for.... I just want a simple foam Android sleeve, like my nexus... Anyways, even keeping it in there, my back cover is f*cked. Will be ordering a new one ASAP, I'm pretty disappointed with the build quality on this phone. They could have done better.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
The foam sleeve could be the thing scratching it up.
[HTC Sensation] fourfoot:
3 weeks with no cover. Usually sits on my desk or sofa and gets transported in my pocket along with an iPhone4, wallet and handfull of loose change.

No damage to report :)
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
5 Weeks no scratches at all! :)
[HTC Sensation] mofoahh:
No scratches but have dust under my lens.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Since June 8th zero scratches. Completely unprotected but I take good care of it. It gets it's own pocket off work and uses a holster during work. I always lay it face down.
[HTC Sensation] LX2:
Not even a month for me and the only scratches on my phone (around the camera lense) were from the gray/black Body Glove cover I bought from T-Mobile. The only reason I bought it was they could not remove it after they installed it. They said they would refund the B/G with reciept, but it was thrown away when I bought it.

Could have been worse I guess, could still be using a Vibrant :D
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
@durps is your cover scratched?

Mine is scratched. Not on the back but on the front :(
[HTC Sensation] ugrubni:
i have no protection for my sensation, ....it fell down the steps once and there was a big scratch on the backcover, ..but i work for a network provider, ..so, i got a new backcover for free

and some little little little scratches in the glass
[HTC Sensation] kkndgr:
No scratches on my senny and fell off my hands on the pavement .I don't have protection yet but soon ill get the case-mate tough case the one I am using on my HTC desire .oh and I always keep it on a separate pocket away from keys etc.very happy once again with the build quality by HTC.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
No scratches, it lives in it's HTC Meteor case with it's screen protector on it. Phone is in A1 condition (which will come in handy when I sell it next year after my upgrade)
[HTC Sensation] blkcliostu:
Had my phone since the day it came and Ive always had it in a leather case, but Ive dropped it on the odd occasion after having a few drinks and there are a few scratches.

When it gets worse I'm going to follow this guide

[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Mine is scratched up on all corners... Looks like it was dropped a few times by previous owner coz i bought it new but still for the price i got it, its still very good condition... Back and front display is completely scratchless...
[HTC Sensation] whitegoh:
without casing and screen protector, so far so good, don't have scratches.

just always put my into pouch though.
[HTC Sensation] cbanbury:
HTC have got a lot better with casing durability over the last few years. I think the last bad one I had was the back cover of the desire z.

My nexus one still looks mint vs my poor nexus s (damn you samsung).

Has anyone else noticed that the older heat treated glass style screens seem to stand up to much more than Gorilla glass?

I've never had either of them break, but Gorilla glass seems to scratch much easier :S
[HTC Sensation] bobbobagan:
Mines not scratched at all. I have a black silicone case on the back to keep it nice and protected. The camera lens gets dusty though!
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I've had mine since 31/8, 2/3 of the time with cover, and no scratches. However, I the back cover itself very robust, and good quality.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
I got a backup cover from HTC as mine made cracking noises. So will put that on when selling mine. I do have a screen protector.

I have never used a case or anything. I don't have any scratches or anything. Still in perfect condition after 4 months
[HTC Sensation] Babydollll:
Not at all... :)
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
The only blemish on my back cover is a spot of superglue from when I popped the plastic bit off and had to glue it back on :D

I can't abide by covers either - not even screen protectors.
[HTC Sensation] septix:
Three months daily use, not a scratch. Can't say I treat it carefully. Its pretty durable.
[HTC Sensation] anlygi:
I have never been one for covers on a phone as i think it spoils the look, feel and adds bulk however I purchased a Case Mate Barely There for my Sensation when I got it. I realised after a number of weeks though that I hated having a cover and removed it!

I have been carrying it naked for the past 2 months, even though the case saved it from a drunken fall from my hand, and there isn't a single scrape that I can see on the back even though it's always being picked up and put down on a desk at home and work.

A device is to be used IMO, not wrapped up in a way that spoils my enjoyment. It's like the people who buy sports cars and keep them locked away in a garage not being driven like they were intended.
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Mine is not scratched... I look after it and dont have a case. :)
[HTC Sensation] unfnknblvbl:
This. The Sensation feels... Sensational in your hands. Why spoil that?

Get some 800grit Sand Paper - Sand it down, then sand again with 1500gt, then use Blue Magic Polish to shine it. But be careful (only on the Metal Looks cool
[HTC Sensation] lucidfox:
I dont have scratching issues on the back as much as I do on the sides and the corners getting knicked up from wear and tear of whem I am out jogging and occasional keys hitting the phone
[HTC Sensation] ash1684:
Covers = skretches

In my opinion, the only way to scratch this phone, is to use a case.

If dust go between the phone and the case, so it will scratch your phone for sure each time you try to take the case off.

I have no protections at all on my sensation and it's like new.

My suggestion is to drop off the idea to use a case and, eventually, just use a screen protector (even if sensation's screen is not so easely scratchable).

That's just my personal opinion based on my experience with a lot of smartphones.
[HTC Sensation] dorianborovina:
no scratches at all! :))
[HTC Sensation] NLRuben:
mine left bottom corner is messed up... dropped it from a concrete staircase
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
It should be fine if you cleanup your phone and case everyday. That is what im doing :) no scratch..
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Left corner and right corner slightly scratched, and the 'T' from HTC on the back came off and I lost it :\ Looks like **** now. I was supposed to get a free repair from HTC cuz there was a manufacturing fault on the phone's screen. But their service is crap.
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
No scratches on the back cover, though there are a few tiny scratched on the front glass. I think it's time for a screen protector.

[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
My T fell off too but its the lower vertical half that fell off... I ordered a new Sensation 4G casing for it then i will revive its casing swell... I thought HTC makes solid build but that T falling off really put me down...
[HTC Sensation] aapman88:
i dont have any scratches, however the upper part of the back, around the camera seems ta have some coloring differences, i dont know if this was already when i bought it. I juse a slide in cover, so might be the result of sliding it in and out a lot. As it looks like it is wear off a bit. I have my phone new for 3 a 4 months.
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
HAha awwww! I'm getting a free repair!! :D As in, there's giving me a new back cover for free :D I just mailed asia customer care regarding this and they called me next day :D
[HTC Sensation] Dope Ex:
Well, my sensation were dropped only 3 times. I know, thats much. ^^ But, there are only two little scratches on the upper edges. :)

But my bigger problem was, that the "HTC" letters fallen out. The glue wasn't able to hold the big and heavy letters anymore. ^^ It has nothing to do with the drop of the phone. It was earlier.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
what screen issue did you have? i am having a issue where when i press on the right bottom of the screen it pushed down on the lcd and does that thing when you touch a laptop or lcd screen xD it shouldnt do that though, not sure if i want to take it back or not
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Wow. Nothing of that sort. There is a cut on the border of the screen.
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
a cut? thats weird

on subject, i bought my sensation recently on ebay in fair condition so mine has a few nicks on the side and some scratches on the back. also a scratch through the C in HTC lol
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Yeah, haha.. Just a tiny cut.

How much did you get it for?
[HTC Sensation] miimben:
zero scratches so far..

been on otterbox commuter all along..

so its a highly protected baby
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
I dropped my phone only once. The first day I had it even. It landed flat on the screen but somehow managed to scratch the back on its way down. There is a very tiny spot on the top next to the power button where the paint came off due to impact. This is also the only scratch on the entire phone.

I found it isn't prone to scratching at all. The screen is also very scratch resistant.
[HTC Sensation] simbo64:
Yea the screen is the best bit about the sensation other than power in my opinion. There are plenty of replacement backs on ebay for about $30, but replacing the front digitizer would be alot more expensive around $50.. If you need a link to some just ask!
[HTC Sensation] MartijnGP:
Which I think is perfect. When you drop the Sensation it's very unlikely to impact on the screen because of the raised edges. Everything but the screen is practically replaceable and when you use a screen protector the entire phone is protected. Personally I don't use a screen protector anymore as the protector itself does scratch and it makes the phone look ugly.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
My back is like a baby's!

Since the battery cover is so easily sourced I wonder what percentage of regulars would have a spare back cover by now?

It is almost better to have a new case replacement than to wory about scratch-protecting the cover, if you care that much. :) No scratches here, yet.

(Phone arrived yesterday! :D)
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Using my phone for 4 months now without a cover and don't have any scratches.

New backcover should be on the way, though. It doesn't fit right in the bottom right corner...
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
i got it for $270 with free shipping. and just the phone, few nicks and the screen issue
[HTC Sensation] billobob:
had it for over a month now (and bought it used), absolutely no scratches on the back cover, and i never put protectors on my phones. i've dropped it from like 2-3 feet onto a not-very-hard wood floor as well. it's a great compromise of aesthetics and resistant build material, unlike pretty much every other phone i've owned (iphone, nexus s, etc.). it's an ideal phone for someone like me who hates using covers
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
I hate covers too. They SUCK.
[HTC Sensation] awil95:
I have had my phone for 3 months... and there are only dings and dint in the back metal piece from me dropping it on asphalt a couple times... One time i was riding dirtbike and it fell out of my pocket on asphalt going about 40mph and the screen didn't scratch or break... only thing showing is a dint on the corner and side. :D
[HTC Sensation] aapman88:
sounds good, guess i bought the right phone,

i dropped it from about 3 meters which unmouted the sd card. Took some wiggling around to get it to hold it again.
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
I got a blue soft plastic case that it came with so I don't have scratches but the darn thing has run so hot that it has a bluish tint on the battery cover.
[HTC Sensation] JoRJoo:
For two months wearing in my pockets with keys, coins lighters and so on w/o any case and protectors, there is no any scratches ..
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Agh! Some people are just so darn lucky!

[HTC Sensation] spacecowboy618:
No scratches on mine. Even dropped it a couple of times.
[HTC Sensation] luke295:
No scratches, I had my phone since June, still perfectly pretty.

I put screen protectors on, maybe because of the experiences with my old phones, but ended up swapping the protectors about once a month for the reason of overly scratched screen protectors:(. I don't think I really need them, but it makes me feel a bit safer

I put on cases only if the environment has the potential of scratching or getting water onto my phone, or if I have the white stock back cover on.

Overall nice phone 0 scratches
[HTC Sensation] Svartsyn333:
2-3 months of usage without a case, still no scratches on the back. I just never put it into the same pocket as keys etc. are, that's my simple trick.
[HTC Sensation] suhaimidee:
I dropped it and fell at an angled bottom right and I am relieved there isn't any dents! It happened when I realised that I had just slide my Senny into pocket full of coins and my house keys. Panic as I never had any case on it, I scrambled to removed it and thats where it slipped of me! Okay there's two black rounded tiny marks that won't go away but no dents. The coating might had came off. Other than that, it works perfectly normal!

[HTC Sensation] XDA-dre:
I think I must be more clumsy than most of you... 3 drops and I've taken off some of the finish from the corners and a small chip from the screen glass! Still working fine though although I've now taken to using an incipio ngp skin case - highly recommended as good fit and protection!

Not at all ! Back cover is perfect . Only deep scratch on screen which isn't visible when turned on. I have dropped it down a flight of stairs and I have dropped it on concrete and the back is almost flawless. It also falls out and hits the the floor everyday but the phone can handle it. I don't have any screen protectors on it or even a case nor have I ever .

I really like the black keyboard from SuperCM7 rom. I tried replacing the latinIME.apk in system/apps but then I end up not having a keyboard and if I try installing it says not installed.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] demo23019:
I know how from windows and SDK required

put the new LatinIME.apk file into your sdk/tools/ dir located on your PC

reboot phone into into CWR ...make sure phone is plugged into PC

select "mounts and storage" then select "mount system"

from windows run CMD and locate sdk/tools dir

then run these commands

adb remount

adb shell rm -r /system/app/LatinIME.apk - Skip this step you already removed all remnants of LatinIME from app dir

adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk

reboot phone and will be allset

Hi all,

I am wondering if we can stream the 3D video instead of downloading it to the handset?

It seems that the streaming doesn't support mp4 (maybe I was wrong, but it showed didn't support this type of video in the player) or the streaming player doesn't have the 3D function?

thanks
[Xoom General] ghoticov:
Finally pulled the trigger and bought a RAM Mount to mount the XOOM in my GMC Sierra truck. It couldn't have been much easier and it works and holds great! I got really tired to putting my XOOM in my passenger seat and then having to hold it to type or whatever. I am on the road a lot so this is going to work out great! I also have a charger hard wired that I can plug in that is hidden (when needed) and I just pull it out when needed... which is very rare.

I have an Incipio Silicrylic Case (which I really dig) on my XOOM so here is what I used:

Ram Mount RAM-HOL-TAB6U http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogRes...77045072079076045084065066054085/Default.aspx

Ram Mount RAM-B-138U-C http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogRes...65077045066045049051056085045067/Default.aspx

Here are some pics:

The only real downside as of now is the hole on the back of the ram mount does not line up with the power button on the XOOM so it is a bit of a pain to try to turn it on. My answer is going to try and find an app of some sort that just lets you touch the screen to turn on the XOOM (although it may be something it already has, I just haven't looked into it yet).
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
Looks great! A tad pricey, though. With a setup like that your Xoom should be covered by insurance, too. I'll keep this in mind for when I get bored and break down wanting this guy in my Bronco.
[Xoom General] ghoticov:
It wasn't too bad price wise. I actually bought it from expressmounts.com (I believe it was) and I think it was about $50 for everything. That is well worth it in my book to be able to have the XOOM mounted like that.
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
