[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jklier:
I had posted a while pack about a couple if apps getting stuck during an update installation and throwing up an error code of 8103010d. These apps keep showing up as either an available update or as a pending download and do not allow you to either uninstall or reinstall.

I know there were a few others experiencing this. Has anyone found a solution? At very least I'd like to uninstall the apps and try them again after the full release of Mango is out. I was hoping the latest beta of Mango would take care of it but the problem is still there.:(

Anyone use one of these skins/shields on their phone? Anyone customize a skin before? Does it come out good?
[General Accessories] MillerTime33:
Im also interested in peoples experiences with products like these.
[General Accessories] juzz86:
I've had a bit of experience with Zagg. I do like them, but I personally struggle with the installation a bit. My other half seems to have more luck than me, so she gets to do most of them!

As far as protection goes, they're very good. They do, however, have an 'orange-peel' texture which can take some getting used to, and does provide some resistance against the finger.

A friend of mine uses Skinomi skins on just about everything. He has a penchant for the Carbon Fibre ones, and they look terrific when done properly. Set yourself aside a good bit of time to get it right, make sure you're in a dust-free room (especially if they're clear skins) and use a credit card as opposed to the 'squeegee' thing that comes with them. I also found heating the actual protectors with a hairdryer allows them a bit more flexibility. This little tip works for regular screen protectors too!

Good luck! :)

Recommendation on screen protector

I used a screen protector on my device branded "Ewoti".It is quite awsome. I used some screen protectors before,but the clarity after application were not good.However,this named "Ewoti" screen protector impressed me very much with its high definition. Also It can anti-scratch, anti-fingerprints. Really very awsome. :p
[General Accessories] gustavoeks:
I'm using Zagg invisible Shield on my P500... It's a very good screen protector.
[General Accessories] RMXO:
I used Skinomi on my Asus TF & it was one of the easiest installs ever. I have to admit I prefer the wet apply over the dry because it's forgiving if you mess up & I mess up a lot on the dry apply, especially when it comes to a tablet. The screen protector feels a little rubbery in the beginning but it doesn't anymore after a few months. The downside to Skinomi was I wasn't able to use my tablet for 48-72 hours. I had some serious tablet withdraws but I survived.

Hope that helps.
[General Accessories] Locusta83:
I'm using a Zagg Invisible Shield on my iPad. I'm very satisfied with the invisible shield! It's very strong and although it takes time to properly apply it; when it sticks, it sticks (or so to say ;)).
[General Accessories] JamesDisbrow:
I personally can't stand the "tacky" feel those screen protectors give.
[General Accessories] steve859:
I just ordered a full body skin from Skinit. It seems to me that the DROID3 should be as naked as possible so i went with a skin and a pocket pouch. I'll post when i receive it and get it installed
[General Accessories] fleurdelisxliv:
i love zagg have used them on my last 4 phones :)
[General Accessories] nerdcroid:
Zagg has the best screen protectors, they are the only ones I use now. Skinit has awesome skins. I had a maple wood pattern one on my OG droid that I got for $4.00 on Amazon.
[General Accessories] CharmedCard:
Zagg is very good. A bit pricey, though...
[General Accessories] mutualexcrement:
meh

skinit is just a vinyl overlay, like a giant sticker. It wasn't for me, the edges peeled after a bit and I couldn't get them back down. All gunked up. That was on my cell of course, the one for my laptop is good though!
[General Accessories] bringit8:
I'm using a bestskinsever skin.. and for $10 it works great. I don't have any experience with the more expensive ones but I've bought like 10 BSEs and they've all be great.

I've had them on iphone 2g, 3g, 4g and now a Sammy SGS2!
[General Accessories] abrown0809:
I've had both the zagg and the skinomi. The zagg is a stronger screen protector but the skinomi is pretty good for how cheap it is, just beware not to use it with a tpu case. My tpu case made the skinomi peal off. The skinomi will get some dings from your finger nails if they are too hard, the invisible shield won't.
[General Accessories] pas4227:
Check out Steinheil anti-fingerprint screen protector. It has a matte finish so it isn't sticky like some of the other protectors I have used. I use Swype on my phone and I can just glide over the screen without any resistance at all. Has held up great for me. About $12 for a 2-pack.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cham87:
So I have mac osx and windows. I've tried rooting on both. I can follow a tutorial, that is how I've rooted my thunderbolt when it first came out. But my new thunderbolt won't root using the methods that are working for others. So I request someone to help me out as to writing a step by step setup for required prerequisites programs... Thank you. Something isnt working. I just want to enjoy perks of root again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Which instructions are you trying to follow, JCase's or Cap's? Also, where is the root procedure failing for you? I only ask because there is no one here who could write better step by step instructions than the ones already included in both rooting methods.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Have to agree. Any information at all regarding how its failing would be most helpful.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cham87:
Okay. For windows I used the script that is a batch file because I've heard it is super easy to use... When I first was running the script it would not find the device. Now it will find it with debugging on. But when debugging is on my device won't be listed in my computer. With debugging off it will show up on my computer. Anyways with the script it says it pushes all the files then when my phone is to reboot it won't.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Make sure that your ADB is set up properly before you start using the batch file.

A great set of instructions can be found here:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/10924-how-adb-windows-made-easy.html

The batch file is also old and some of the files included in it might be too dated to use. Try using JCase's method.

Where did you get the exploits file that contained the psneuter file and such? Try downloading the files from http://www.multiupload.com/K4BZ22SIT5 and verify the md5 is 3b359efd76aac456ba7fb0d6972de3af and try again.

Both of those links showed ppl having similar problems. Try their fixes of restoring to factory defaults and trying again or re-formatting your card.

Check out these videos, they helped me go through all the steps. The second time I rooted this thing was harder because I thought I had everything setup, and I did but I had to redo everything to get it to work. Start fresh by doing the drivers again, then put the contents of the exploits zip in sdk tool, (all the files but one were correct on mine, I think it was just an outdated version and that was one of my hold ups)

Installed the gingerbread update last night and noticed my free RAM hovers around 100 MB or higher.

This is what I was getting with supercharging. Apparently Moto made some fixes...

I'm running:

GEN2

Rooted

ClockworkMod

Swedish Spring Android 2.2 with Gingerbread theme and circle battery

Suddenly after a few weeks of everything working fine, AC charging stopped working. USB charging still works perfectly, and when I plug the phone in it says it is AC charging, but the charge level barely changes - it can be plugged in for 12 hours and not gain or lose any charge. Also, sometimes but not always, the phone becomes very very slow, and sometimes the screen won't unlock - I have to unplug it, unlock, then plug it in again.

I've tried different chargers and cables and combinations thereof, I've tried turning USB charging off or on in Extra Settings, I've tried debug mode on USB or not, hardware acceleration on or off, I've tried charging with the phone off or on, screen on or off, I've tried charging it for 48 hours, the charge level never moves.

This is the closest thread I can find on the issue but it is a mix of problems, and they never find a reliable diagnosis or solution:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...rs-stopped-working-but-usb-charging-works-ok/

I don't care if it charges slowly, I'm thinking of trying to mod a USB cable to force it into USB charging mode. Anyone know how?

I far prefer this to re-installing because whenever I connect my phone to my laptop it immediately bluescreens, (despite a fresh Win7 reinstall), and I am lost on my gf's Mac.

These posts describe how to do the opposite (force AC mode) on HTCs:

[Blade General] ktmt:
Since I lost my charger and had to use a generic micro-USB charger, I have the same problem. USB charge works fine.

May be a problem with the USB cable, have you tried using another one?

(I'm on Ginger Stir Fry, but I don't think it is ROM dependent. )
[Blade General] technicaltitch:
Thanks for the thoughts. I've tried different cables and chargers and combinations thereof to no avail, hence suspecting something software and looking to mod a cable to force USB mode.

Please anyone know what PINs indicate laptop USB rather than AC USB?

How does my phone know to go into the (disfunctional) AC mode?

Thanks
[Blade General] watrill:
I think D+ and D- pins (2 and 3) are connected. You would have to mod the charger. Or just use generic USB charger, like those from dealextreme...

Update:

Got it working!

Here is how to connect your Messaging Hub to Facebook Chat:

On your phone, remove the Facebook account setup

On your PC (or in IE9 on the phone), go to home.live.com.

Under "Messenger social" click "Connect Facebook"

Go through the steps to connect Facebook to your Live account

On your phone, add the Facebook account under 'Settings' / 'Email and Accounts'

When it asks if you want to connect to Facebook Chat, tap 'Not now'.

Let it sync

Facebook Chat should automatically be activated as long as it has finished its initial syncing

If you want to check if it's activated:

Go to the Messaging Hub

Tap 'Settings'

Facebook Chat is the first option and should be activated. If not, you can activate it now.

Initial post:

I have been attempting to setup Facebook Chat through the Messaging Hub in Mango, but after it says "We're connecting to Facebook" it just puts me on the Mobile version of my Facebook homepage but doesn't ask me to do anything and is not setup on the Messaging Hub when I hit the back arrow.

Has anyone had success connecting the Messaging Hub to Facebook Chat? If so, how did you go about doing it? Changing settings in IE9 doesn't seem to do anything about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alexrodri0:
Ahh same here, fb chat worked in mango b2 but once I updated to 7712 it stopped working
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Mine wasn't working in the first Beta 2 either. I suppose this is a Beta limitation so hopefully it'll be fixed in the final version.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
You can try linking your Facebook and Windows Live on your computer. I had this setup initially and never had a single issue with fb chat on any mango beta.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
You can try the menthod i am trying.

1. Link your Live ID with Facebook (Piece of Cake), make sure you can chat with someone on Facebook through Windows Live Messenger (On the PC)

2. Add Facebook to your phone

3. Choose "not now" when it asks you if you want Facebook chat on yourphone

4. Let it sync

5. You are done.

If you don't understand that much, just shoot me a reply, i will guide you step by step.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yipcanjo:
Mine didn't work until I performed these steps....

1) Go to Home.Live.com and choose to sync Facebook with my Live account

2) Remove the Facebook account from my phone

3) Re-add the Facebook account to my phone

4) Re-attempt to enable Facebook Chat on my phone, which then worked properly

It's been great ever since!
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Got it working! I deleted the Facebook account setup on my phone, associated my Live ID with Facebook through live.com, re-added the Facebook account on my phone, and it worked. Thank you guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
heres a time line and a brief explantion of things

aug 14th 2010 got brand new and first evo

sept 10th took phone back in to show it had a problem charging, they offered me a brand new replacement but i had to wait about 3 weeks to get one. the charg issue is due to all evos not trickle charging, apparently this is not defective its just how phones are made now

early october 2010 new phone finaly shows up, and has worked great until:

june 29 i discovered my phone wouldnt always charge via usb charge port, sprint tech says this is a known issue and they will replace it for free but they are out of stock, say it will be a few days and they will call me

july 21 i call them and asked why i havent heard from them they said they should have called, they said they did, i said check my call logs they said fine, we didnt call you. they said my refub was in

july 23 i show up to get phone and on the way home i notice the camera has a big yellow spot in the middle of the lcd and it shows up in all my pics and vids so i:

july 23 went back to get anther replacement and they said they would replace it again, but they are on back order again,

july 27the my replacement is in. but i cant makd the trip today

july 28 i make the trip and get my replacement again, later in the day i notice my replacment phone is answering calls on speaker phone. later in the night i decided to find out why.

well it looks like it may have something to do with a bad usb port again and it thinking it is docked

i rebooted a few times and i noticed that the car panel was opening on its own, well i went to settings and disabled this from auto startup and even though car panel isnt auto running now that i can see it still answers my phone in speaker phone.

also i put it on the charger over night and it didnt charge.

in summary, its been almost a month a 2 refurbs later and i am still trying to get a phone that works

i am the guy who asked about a month ago about how i would like to know how to negotiate for a evo 3d, well here i am not getting what i would even consider a fair shake, let alone a awesome one.

so what do folks think my options are?

is getting a evo3d an option? what about a NEW evo, not a refurb.

should i continue to deal with the sprint store, i know its not their fault but this is a 35minute drive one way to go fetch all these broken phones, or should i contact sprint customer support via telephone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
My advice is to call Sprint and bug them until they send you a NEW phone. I'm not saying it will be an easy call to get through, but it might go smoothly if you have this history.

Having said that, I feel like I've seen fixes for the car dock thing . . . but that may require rooting, and after this many replacements I'm sure you're on GB and would have to wait until a root method is developed. (It might come as early as tonight, but it also might never happen.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yep exactly. The same thing happened to me last year. I went through 6 refurbs, all had different problems. Refurbs are horrible, they are never fixed correctly, and if the phone had multiple issues, they will usually only fix one, leaving the other things still broken.

Call sprint, talk to Account Services. Tell them you will cancel your plan if they dont send you out a NEW phone. Tell them you are tired of going into the store every day for another problem with the phone. Also tell them that if they want to keep giving you refurbs, you will keep returning them until you get a perfect phone, whic is stupid for them because it would just be way cheaper to just give you a brand new one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gab2012:
Mines had the same usb problem, I got a brand new evo on the spot and I was in and out in 30mins.(saw the rep pull out an evo box and took out the phone in the original factory plastic, no refurb)

They're not going to budge on the evo 3d, You can ask for a nexus S since its the next compareable phone to the evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish Marz:
potna, I feel your pain. The joke in my shop it that "does it work?" isn't in the refurb checklist before sending them out. I personally have gone through 5 refurbs for one customer over a two week period because every refurb was defective. The District S&R Supervisor ended up BUYING the customer a new Evo. It's gotten to the point that this "swap up" program that offers a Nexus or Shift seems to be the solution. Granted, fixing the Evo's right the first time would have been my choice but I don't make policy.

My suggestion is to either take the Nexus/Shift swap or when you go back to the store have the service manager contact regional to get authorization for a new Evo. This will be much easier than dealing with the red tape that Customer Service will put you through.

not sure if anyone else has seen this, but.. im in albuquerque nm, a city with 'no 4g service'

well last night i reflashed the rom i am running and decided to go with a different modem ee03 for my samsung epic, i am now getting a full bar signal for 4g and gettting speeds of 7mb download 1.5mb upload, pretty freaking amazed here

so other then gloating was just trying to confirm if anyone else is getting this in albuq, if there was new markets that were supposed to go up for 4g etc.. the baffling part of this to me is i work for sprint, and have heard nothing of this whatsoever, soo yea..

[Networking] Just_s:
I saw 4G popping up on my wife's phone a few weeks ago, but it was on and off and no real signal. Then just now her stock E4GT showed full 4G bars and is blazing fast. My rooted E4GT showed two 4G bars for a second, but then nothing. We are in Rio Rancho. If 4G is actually here, I would love this! I left Denver just as they were getting it and my speeds have been terrible lately.

I'm going to check with my Sprint peeps and see if I can confirm anything.

Well, it is definitely picking up a WiMax signal (as you can see in the screen), but I don't think it is a working signal, as it goes in and out and I am unable to connect to anything with 4G signal showing and 3G/WiFi off. I'm guessing it is a test signal that probably works in ABQ, but not up here, which would still be good news. :)

[Networking] Just_s:
It's not crazy. It is up and down. Still office and service-wise i am happiest with Sprint. I've had T-mo which was best for me when traveling internationally, but not great here in the States. Verizon had great coverage, but horrible customer service and killed me with fees and overrages. AT&T/Cingular just plain sucked for me. Sprint has been the best customer service-wise, best pricing of the big carriers and great phones, but signal is crazy inconsistent. Personally, if I change again, I'll probably go to Boost. Same phones and network as Sprint at half the price.
