[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
I don't think its that Sony doesn't trust their glass, but rather how they decided to achieve the best looking screen possible.

What I think is, had they not used a shatter proof sheet they would have to make the glass stronger (which usually means thicker) and that would result in a less vibrant looking screen.

So choosing this current design, they're able to get a vibrant looking screen (with thinner glass) while keeping the strength of the glass high enough with the support of the shatter proof sheet.

When you think about how the Arc outperforms most other phones in direct sunlight, it kind of supports this hypothesis.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
Ummm... you know the arc comes with one already fitted (in addition to the spare in the box), right?

Again, unless you'd already removed the factory-fitted screen protector, it's extremely likely that it's the protector that has the marks on it, not the screen itself.

Mine got dropped face down onto gravel and was scratched to buggery. I removed the protector (quite a job to get the thing off) and the screen underneath was pristine.

Cant really say that it's any brighter than it was, but it's certainly less fingerprinty than before.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sampah1:
my question is "how to remove it"??

me also want to remove shatter proof screen protector, but it very hard attached, difficult to remove.. -.-"

did we mention the same shatter proof screen protector? the one that we get when we buy our new ARC?? (mine is ARC S, but I think the shatter protector isn't different.. :P)

Thx for the reply, I'm really appreciate ^_^
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyourchum:
BEWARE !!!

For extra protection i installed Amzer Matte finish screen protector over the shatter proof layer.

Dont remove the factory fitted shatter proof layer.

For your information if you remove the Shatter Proof layer then Accidently drop your phone and break the "Touch Digitizer" (Which is the part that breaks often) remember that you need to change the "Display " also because in Arc "Touch Digitizer & Display " comes as a single module.So why waste your hard earned money

If you want to verify, you can visit my post to see the Official Arc Service Manual

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I think if you drop the phone, digitiser will break anyway, and the shatter-proof layer will just keep the pieces together. It's not a break-proof layer.

Also, installing 2 screen protectors on a phone is like... well... let's just say it takes away all the pleasure

(of using the awesome Arc screen).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyourchum:
So Sony Ericsson fixed it over the screen just for fun & to decrease the UXP ??????
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
No.

If the screen shutters without it you can cut your skin - but not with this thing on.

I removed it anyways :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I very well explained why SE fitted it to the screen... To prevent scratches and in the case that you break your screen it will keep the pieces together. Do you really believe that any kind of plastic layer will make a digitiser unbreakable??? Please...

hi guys.i have searched ebay to buy reasonable battery for my desire but i am a little bit confused.i saw mugen and innocell batteries have good reputation but very expensive for me.can anyone help me which reasonable extented battery i can but from ebay?thanks a billion in advance.
[Desire Accessories] human75:
no one?any help......please......
[Desire Accessories] xybadog:
I think most replies in other threads to extended batteries show that you get what you pay for. The cheaper ones tend to give just the same (or worse) battery life than the standard OEM battery.

The better, larger extended batteries are more expensive and increase the size of the handset too, but if you can put up with this they will extend the battery life but it won't be anything "jaw-dropping".

On specific batteries I can only really advise to keep away from the batteries sold on ebay from China/HK as these tend to be a lot more inferior in quality and performance and can be prone to going up in flames (literally).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that out of the two battery brands you mention innocell seems to get better ratings and reviews but they still aren't brilliant. Best to shop around online and compare user ratings. Checkout Amazon and Mobile fun for ratings for example, because ebay only gives seller ratings and not product ratings.

[Desire Accessories] Ripx2000:
If you want to buy extended battery, you will need to notice on its charging cycle. Having larger battery (mAh) is not worth if their charging cycle is short.

Even though you got high mAh battery, they may be rapidly reducing its maximum battery level to 80% after you charge them for several cycle.:)
[Desire Accessories] mathorv:
well i bought Andida battery advertised and alabelled as 1800 mAh - it does not work as advertised. After few cycles i feel it is now smaller capacity than genuine one, it does not charge up to 100% it stops charging somehow @99%. As a backup battery well maybe, as a replacement defenately no!
[Desire Accessories] donverse:
I've read that somewhere, that the HTC batteries aren't the biggest batteries around, but they somehow manage to get up to 95% of the capacity to be used. That is what none of those cheaper batteries can achieve, so it is senseless to buy a bigger battery that only uses some 70% and in the end the smaller, but more efficient HTC battery is your better choice :)

[Defy General] Need_Good_ID:
so I'm currently in 110729 Nightly Jordan. Current;y using the new market, the 3.0 version (forgot the 3 numbers behind it).

When flashing before, I did a wipe data and wipe cache action, and then recovers all the apps , and when I see at the market, the list of all my downloaded application is there.

But now, since the new market, the links/list of the downloaded apps won't show.

something that I tried:

1 . installed a random app, still not showing any of the old apps.

2 . as I used titanium backup to recover the apps, I tried using the Market Doctor which is provided inside it. I used it, and a notification said "Market Doctor has found no recoverable Market Links" , but I used this app to recover all the apps -_-

so, are there any solutions to fix these stuffs, guys? thanks for your help :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primenr:
Hi, I hope I'm not posting something that has been answered before. I did try to search, but didn't find anything.

Ok, the last month or so I've been experiencing strange "loads" on my N1 after unlocking it:

When I click the power button on my phone, it shows the lock screen without difficulty. I then unlock it, and have to wait from 1 to 20 seconds for my widgets and applications to load. If I click my application drawer I can see the programs popping up as they are "loaded".

I have been running several different Cyanogenmod nightlies and have also tried the latest stable version. The problem has been present on all the different mods (of cyanogen) I've tried.

In addition, the problem first manifested itself in between rom changes. (Only reason I changed roms is because I wanted to see if it fixed the error, which it didn't.)

I have not installed any new apps (which I haven't uninstalled again) the past few months or anything else I can think of that would result in this.

Does anyone know why this happens? :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HazzBazz:
The BCM4330 has a number of listed features that our SGS2s do not appear to have. For instance, the chip in question has listed support for Bluetooth 4.0+HS (so, I assume the Bluetooth low power standard) and FM Transmission/Receive, however all sources state that the SGS2 only supports up to Bluetooth 3.0, does not have Bluetooth high speed (virtually the same as Wifi direct, I'm told, but may not have the same level of uptake) and there are no references to FM transmission.

Without relevant APIs or sources I assume none of these unused features can be utilised. Is it a possibility that Samsung removed some components of the chip to reduce bulk?

What's confused me about this entire situation is that the original Galaxy S and the iPhone4 feature this same chipset, but there's not even a mention of Bluetooth3.0 even though they appear to support it . . . weird. Perhaps I've completely failed to understand the nature of these chipsets, but if I'm not being completely stupid then it'd be nice to explore how one could fiddle with our precious phones to extend its capabilities.

Example:

Back then, at MWC 10, Samsung introduced the Samsung Omnia HD (i8910) which has alot of things AND an FM transmitter, when the device was actually launch, it didn't have the FM transmitter, modders and coders saw & knew that this device have the component, even proved with a secret code and an app they build, but no one has ever managed to get it to work.

So far of being a costumer at Samsung corp. I noticed 2 mistakes that they are repeating:

1. Samsung can't manage to get solid 30fps at 720p devices and 1080p.

2. Samsung rls products with an FM transmitter but they never support it and doing everything that we won't manage to get it work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requist:
The fact that this chip is capable of performing all those tasks does not mean it is capable of doing all those task simultaneously. There might be some hardware challenges/contradictions between the different roles.

For instance, bluetooth 4.0 requires filtering above 3GHz of more than 10dB, while at the same time the chip is capable of Wifi on 5GHz; both are supposed to be on the same antenna so either you can not use the chip for Bluetooth 4.0 AND wifi 5GHz or you have to use some very complicated filter depending on which mode you're using. If they have not supplied this filter inside the chip then it becomes a bit complicated to use both modes.

The FM transceiver could very well be connected to the same internal power amplifiers as wifi but a wifi antenna does not look like an FM antenna.

It is not always possible (actually seldom) to use all the specifications of a chip at the same time with the same hardware setup. (Though often the user won't notice because it is not able to check the specification, like ultra low power and high speed often conflict.)
