[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poofish:
For those of you who say that they aren't worried about their phone scratching because its always in their pocket, I would still recommend you getting one, purely because of the fact that Gorilla Glass is vulnerable to SAND and DUST. Sand particles have a very high hardness rating exceeding that of Gorilla glass, so it will carve up your pretty little phone without a care in the world. Simply wiping the screen cover with a cloth that has a particle of sand on it, can scratch the screen, not to mention the original oleophobic coating Samsung put over the Gorilla Glass, which itself is very vulnerable.

I can also vouch for the SGP Ultra Oleophobic Screen Protector. Hands down the best balance of everything a screen protector should have. I've used some no name brands, the Zagg ones as well as the SGP Ultra Crystal one before, and none can compare.

The SGP Ultra Oleophobic beats the Ultra Crystal hands-down simply because it repels oil much better, and can be cleaned with one wipe of a shirt or cloth. On the other hand, the ultra crystal clings to fingerprints and oil like a fat kid to a candy bar.

Both however, exhibit zero rainbow effects, air bubbles or orange peel effects. For about 30 minutes after putting the oleophobic one on, there is a bit of rubbery/slightly sticky feeling on the protector, but it goes away after some use or a bit of cleaning with a microfibre cloth. I'd also recommend not applying the protector on vertically, from speaker to microphone, but rather, from left to right. It is MUCH easier to align this way, and much easier to retry if you messed up the first time.

I've had many people who've played with my phone ask me why I don't bother putting on a screen protector, and when I tell them to look again, they are genuinely surprised they didn't realize it was there.

TL;DR: get a screen protector, because sand (which is actually harder than gorilla glass) and dust can and WILL scratch your screen eventually. also, SGP Ultra Oleophobic beats everything else hands down.

I think Sammy will send the gorilla glass as OTA update when Android Weedcake 2.5.5 hits the market sometime in the distant future.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
well well well talk about fate,there is a scratch on the screen and i only put the ultra olephobic screen protector on yesterday initially i thought it was a hair but it's a very small scratch so im even more pleased now i had this on otherwise id have a scratch, thankfully you get 2 screen protectors so i can just replace this one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie009:
Yes, it is using Gorilla Glass but I had the phone for one week without protection and I had made a very tiny 1cm scratch on it already .. when I email to corning and they said they feel sorry for my experience ... anyway, protective screen strongly recommended. I had the SPG one and its good...

I want to buy a new HD2.The seller says he has some hd2 produced in June and it can be inquired on htc website by imei.

Can IMEI be changed ?

I worry it's refurbished

thanks
[HD2 General] orangekid:
not easily and not legally, but it can be done.
[HD2 General] elliottg61:
agreed, its not easy but it is possible
[HD2 General] zero2zero:
is there a way to know if it has been changed?
[HD2 General] orangekid:
I SERIOUSLY doubt it's been changed. Well the box should have it as well as if you remove the battery it should say it on the back of the phone, so the guy would have had to hard program it into the phone and also changed out inside the phone.

Don't worry about it.
[HD2 General] zero2zero:
Maybe I think too much

I'm from China. In China many 'refurbishers' specialize in these works.

I need to examine the whole phone and I wish I won't be unfortunate.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Check to make sure the IMEI on the back of the phone under the battery is the same one listed in settings > about.

Also if you got a box make sure that it is the same IMEI as on the phone.

If all three are the same it is very highly doubtful that it was changed.

Hi i just got my xperia play and noticed that it is almost unusable when im charging, the keyboard will hit random keys i cant scroll from the main screen etc. But as soon as i pull the charger usb out it functions perfectly, anyone know whats up?
[Xperia Play General] wired84:
I've noticed something similar, the accuracy isn't as good when the charger is plugged it. Are you using it with the pad out or not? try with the pad out and see if that helps, otherwise it may be a hardware fault
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I use it while it is charging all the time. It works perfectly.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I haven’t had any problems using mine while plugged in.
[Xperia Play General] Markus-SonyXperiaSupport:
This is not that uncommon as one would think really. Capacitive touch screens may react different and most of all less accurate when plugged in to a charger. Try using a different wall socket when charging and you'll probably notice some difference to this behaviour.

A grounded wall socket is usually better than a non-grounded one.

Just curious as to whats required to be able to have my xoom see my phone and connect to it. I looked for a forum for it and instructions but wasnt able to find anything.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin_bubu:
The easiest way is to open you phone settings, go to Wireless and Network and then Mobile AP.

This will activate your phone as a Mobile Access Point and share it's connection via Wireless.

Now open up your tablets settings and search for the wireless network (usually called 'Android...'), connect to it and your all set.

I'm not a big techy but I hope it helps.

hey,

I'm wondering if there is any app (or even a website/rss feed) for real breaking news, news like the last oslo incident, japan's earthquake... not stuff like Lindsey lohan's trip for shopping...
[Android Apps and Games] anfearg:
There are two that I use regularly:

Stock Andorid Genie Widget

because you can add or remove topics as you want and also add completely custom topics too just by searching for that topic. Google then combs various news sites and gives you the topics based on your request.

Official BBC App

is probably the best in my opinion again as you can customise the topics as you want. Unlike Genie Widget which opens the articles in the browser, BBC articles are all in the App. It also has video links and photo galleries too.

i download the rom and extracted it

i m new to these things and i really want to do this

i've already read some threads

a little help will be appriciated thanks

Given the fact, that ARC and X8 did not share any hardware, I don't really think that it is an easy job, but I'm not a dev, so I can just wish luck to you for it! :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Pjay12:
What's your desired end result? Do you want an x8 with an arc like UI? There's a rom called arc x8 you might wanna try if that's the case. If you want a GB rom with SE resemblance try Gingercruzt and install the arc launcher. Both options give you an arc-ish looking phone. As for performance arc x8 is great for gaming and it's overclocked to 710 by default. Gingercruzt is not perfect but is very fast and smooth. Has the common GB rom bugs. For any other questions, probs, requests etc PM me. I'll help with what I can. I too at one point wanted arc stuffs on my phone lol. Good luck :)
[XPERIA X8 General] IROC_69:

I'm pretty bored of this problem...

a week ago I've found my sd card sand disk 4Gb class 4 corrupted when I found that everytime I take a photo, I found it corrupted when the phone is connected with PC and sd mouted...

so I take a sand disk 2Gb that I have had on a camera and I use it...

Today, again the same problem

2 sd card corrupted with no way to format it...

I always us CM7 (RC 7.1 when I had the 4Gb card and nightly now)...

Is the phone broken? or I have to do something...I've notice that this problem is very common, but I don't understand if is an hardware problem or software, kernel...

I also have Darktremor installed...if can help...

thanks for any advice
[Nexus One General] GuestX0019:
Have you tried formatting and repartitioning card?

I use sdformatter from web--does good job--settings are: Full Erase On and Size Adjustment On

Then repartition back in phone to 1gb 0 swap--that's what I use

Of course, back up sdcard tp pc first
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Do you "eject" your phone from the PC before unmounting it?
[Nexus One General] RealPsygnosis:
I just press the unmount button on the phone and disconnect the cable I don't use the safe remove of window do you think is for that?
[Nexus One General] phoeagon:
but i think Windows manage any USB storage device without keeping the cache too long by default. what's more he isn't writing anything onto the card but reading, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
[Nexus One General] RealPsygnosis:
yeah android read the card but it doesn't write anything....

can the problem is the darktremor?
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Humor me, and try ejecting in future...
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
That's your problem. You're yanking the card away from windows before it's done writing to it probably.

1) Eject from windows

2) Unmount in android

3) Unplug

I've had my android phone for over a year now and have only had one card go corrupt, but that was due to a buggy ass wifi teather app. I've never had a problem aside from that. However, I also never mount the sd card in windows. I just use Dropbox to transfer files back and forth, or for large files, I just copy over wifi via a lan share.
[Nexus One General] RealPsygnosis:
thanks...

to all...

there are discordant opinion about this who said that I have to first unmount then safe disconnect from Win and who said that I have first safe remove and then unmount...

I've try to format the 4gb microsd with gparted live but I have error over error "can't mount, cant format" and so on...

The 2gb microsd now work fine, I succefully format it now I have an ex3 partition and a fat32 with Darktremor...

There is no way to plug an android phone and trasfer file without mount sd?
[Nexus One General] phoeagon:
of course there are. try adb push or adb pull...
[Nexus One General] HTCinToronto:
Is the card a class 10? I had class 6 clean from start to end but changed to a 32gb class 10 in the last 4 months and tonight was the second time filenames got messed up just by connecting to the PC. I connected, hit USB mount and a bunch of folder/file names were messed and stuff on the LOST.DIR.

Gonna get a new card tomorrow.

Poking around adb i found an app called wireless_modem in xbin

# ./system/xbin/wireless_modem

when i hit enter my computer started to load another driver but it couldn't be found.

I wonder if HTC added 3g/4g air card support in their phones for future use.

According to QPST data tab the phone would need to dial #777 for a data connection....

This may be a moot point with the other tether options but maybe worth a look.
