[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Mine randomly reboots once or twice per week WHEN I'm running the unmodified stock roms (Froyo or GB) with T-Mobile's bloatware. I rooted a long time back and got rid of the bloatware and have had no issues.

There may be some hardware defects in some phones, no doubt, but Im led to believe that a lot of issues are indeed software related.

Still, I agree with you that a phone should work properly, especially when you're paying as much as we pay for these phones.

Hey thanks I was looking for a step by step install guide. I wonder if there is another for the reverse going from 1.2 to 1.2 boot loader.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Not sure which you are looking to switch to since you sais 1.2 to 1.2, BUT, to switch from branch to branch you do code yellow here:

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

Just pick the NVFlash version for the branch you want to switch to. It's that simple.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtex06:
Thanks I meant to say boot loader 1.2 back to 1.1 boot loader. Just in case the 1.2 roms do not work as well. Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I'd have to peruse the Dummies site to see if there's instructions, but my from my own experience, the SAFEST way is to go to a 1.2 stock ROM first (like 1.2-4349), and then from there downlevel to 1.1-3588 stock, using standard recovery (no cwm!). It's a few steps, but it's the lowest risk of soft-brickage, imo.

gojimi also has instructions on down-leveling, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036956
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
The Dummies site does not have you go back to your current stock rom then down/up level (depending if you are going up/down). BUT, better safe than sorry. Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I am still fuzzy on which bootloader I currently have. I have read all the bootloader posts and all of them say:

2 Branches of Development

There are currently 2 branches of development. Everything provided on this website are divided into either 1.1 or 1.2. Please use the correct version for your branch of development. If you are on stock and do not know which branch you are on, do the following to check.

Turn on your gtab.

Go into menu.

Go into Settings.

Go into About Tablet.

Go into Tap UI Version.

Firmware starts with 1.1 = you're on 1.1 branch. Firmware starts with 1.2 = you're on 1.2 branch.

But I upgraded my GTab almost a year ago to TNT Lite 4.4 and can not remember. When I go to the settings and about, I see this:

Model number GTablet-TnT-Lite

Android version 2.2

Tap UI version TNT Lite v4.4.0

Kernel version 2.6.32.9-00001-g6e47897-dirty

clemsyn@clemsyn-MM061 #221

Build number FRF91

Is there another way to determine my bootloader? TIA
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
TNT Lite 4.4 is a bootloader 1.1 rom

TNT Lite 4.4 is a retired 1.1 b/l rom...see this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842004.

The instructions for finding the b/l version only apply when you are on the stock rom.

[HTC Sensation] brian85:
If not, any scratches? Even light scratches?
[HTC Sensation] MeatyCoins:
none so far
[HTC Sensation] jjc1992:
I'm not and o have yet to discover any marks :) still want to invest in a screen protector but its hard to find a decent one!
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I just took mine off and now the screen looks SOOOOOOO sexy and feels so smooth.

I would hate to get scratches, but I'm going to take the risk. It's just so much better without a screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] Skatturbrain:
I have a few small scratches on my screen, but they are very light scratches that do not affect the look of the screen. Half the time I dont notice them unless I hold the screen so it shines in the light...
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I have one cm square of scratches, stupidly put my keys in my pocket with the phone :'(
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I had a screen protector for a while, but took it off because I botched the install and it had too many bubbles. I actually took it off to install another protector, but I liked it so much naked that I left it. Been that way for 3 weeks and I haven't had any scratches. Don't drop it, don't put anything next to it in your pocket, and in general be careful with it and it should be fine.
[HTC Sensation] glhturbo:
Running without and no scratches at all. Feels better without the condom. ;):D
[HTC Sensation] reaperofwaywardsouls:
No scratches yet.... waiting for the protector to come in the mail.... followed by a case
[HTC Sensation] ikhtiaralam:
You should invest on one quickly because mine scratches pretty easily. And I don't even have nails. Lol.
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
I've used it without a screen protector for my first one and no scratches. I final put one on my 4th Sensation. I used the Skinomi and it feels nice and thin. Was worried about it not feeling as smooth, but it is nice and very responsive still .
[HTC Sensation] tantan911:
i'm not using it , i had HD2 for 2 years and even my ruff use which made the battery cover looks crap but the screen was so clean of scratches so i don't feel i need it for the sensation , just got a good case to protect the back and the edges and THAT'S IT
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Its got gorilla glass...so how could it even suffer from scratches in the first place?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Get one ASAP! i didn't have one on mine the first month, and it's scratched in the bottom part, and some other places around the screen, and i have been very careful with it, i always carry it in my left pocket, where i doesn't have anything else, and never lay it screen down etc.

My old hero has a lot tougher glass than this one.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Drag a diamond across the glass and report back?

Kidding aside, the screen protector in the accessories forum feels almost as good as bareback.

Sent from my LeeDrOiD Sensation
[HTC Sensation] spookiej:
I ordered two when I first got it, but I am yet to put them on, I need a some form of sticky dust remover to remove the fine particles/lint from cleaning (almost like contact but not as much adhesive, like a removable/reusable sticker).

I never got any scratches on my old iPhone with the crappy $10 replacement glass and digitizer from ebay, so **touch wood** I think I will be fine.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
im not havent since i got it. No scratches at all with normal everyday pocket use. i mean its a risk but everyone knows its better without a condom
[HTC Sensation] dipje:
same here, never used a screen protector on my phones. My old Sony P1 still has no scratches, used my HTC Desire for a year without a cover and it has no scratches (on the screen that is) and had my Sensation for while no, no marks on the screen what so ever (I did get the first scratches / parts where the paint is gone) on the side because I dropped it two times in a row :S.
[HTC Sensation] seanerixon:
What I said in another thread..

So no, I dislike screen protectors, and most cases for that matter. But I'm more likely to use a case than use a screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] jelliottz:
No scratches what so ever. I do have a dedicated pocket, Lefty, for my phone. That is all that goes in there.
[HTC Sensation] vvv1vvv:
Never used one. My problem is more about the housing than the screen. My old Desire HD had no scratches on the screen but the body was pretty mutilated. I bought a new housing before I sold it and it looked as new. I hope this will be the case with Sensation as well. Plus it's much easier to change the housing than DHD.
[HTC Sensation] nineZer0:
IMHO it feels smoother without... :)
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkunk:
I'm not using a screen protection, got my Sensation 2 months ago. But I should precise that I'm always putting it in a carrying sock I use for all my phones, this way I'm never worried. Plus I'm very careful with my devices.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Never use one on my Nexus or Sensation...No scratches. Like the feel with out :)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Apart from the experiences mentioned, this question is still left out to be answered?
[HTC Sensation] ragnarokx:
Scratch resistant does not mean scratch proof.

why dont you just ghost armor just the screen i have it and its the SH*T
[HTC Sensation] michdj00:
I have not purchased a screen protector because I dont like the way the screen feels with a protector. Has anyone found a screen protector that feels like the original screen
[HTC Sensation] Jacob.jsweets:
I've had it for a month now and yesturday it finally happened I got a scratch, nothing big or deep but its still there and I like my phone to stay in that new condition the way I bought it so I think its time to invest in a screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] djh00cvpi:
Didn't like the protector.

Hey... I tried the Zagg Shield. Found it too "soft". Then I tried the Tmobile protector. Def nicer than Zagg but was EXTREMELY unhappy with the overall finished product with both. Due to the concave design of the "Gorilla Glass"... I found it was nearly impossible to get ALL the air bubbles out from under the protector.

I've had no protector for nearly 3 weeks & have only 1 very minor scratch. Like someone else said.... The screen is soooo sexy without it.
[HTC Sensation] kazam13:
Before the HTC-S, my daily phone wash the google N1, which was around 1.6 years of intermediate usage. never did I ever witness a single scratch and this was without any screen protection.

I considered many times and even tried Zagg. Didn't care for it, and even until now still no scratches, however I always carry around a small cut cloth that is typically meant for glasses.

Same stands for the sensation. Not a single scratch(yet)

Don't plan on purchasing one either.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
can u elaborate a bit more on this plz?
[HTC Sensation] masse1369:
The way I look at is if something is going to scratch your screen hard enough to actually leave a scratch, it's going through the screen protector anyway and you are still going to get a scratch. That being said, starting with the N1, I have and will never use a screen protector on my phone. Takes away from the beauty of the screen.
[HTC Sensation] tanman1975:
I'm a fairly rough user. I scratched the heck out of N1. That said, not a single scratch on the Sensation's screen. Gorilla Glass with its slight indentation appears to be doing the trick, despite numerous drops on everything from hardwood to asphalt. This screen is also excellent at shedding fingerprints and such accumulating on the screen, unlike a lot of screen protectors.

Coworker who was a screen-protector nazi is also convinced this phone doesn't need it.

We do both have rubber cases. We're not stupid. :)
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
No screen protector or case for me. I only keep it in my left pocket with nothing else and it's been fine so far. My previous phone of two years fared just fine being handled the same way. I'm pretty much anti-case/screen protector for all my phones because I feel it ruins the design.
[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
I thought the glass was a screen protector! No scratches only smudges
[HTC Sensation] daewond3r:
I got a screen protector from BSE, but I haven't put it on yet. I've just been being really careful with it. I'm on the fence about putting the SP on, since I love the way the screen feels without it.
[HTC Sensation] MistyB:
I have Ghost Armor on just the screen. Looks great and feels great and I feel better having it on there.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
People not using screen protectors are just throwing money away :eek:

Every time I upgrade my phone, I just resell the old one on craigslist.

If you take good care of it, you can make a

PROFIT

from this. I purchased my G1 for $99 (on contract) and sold it for $200 after my contract ended :eek:

Seriously, get a screen protector and case. 2 years is a LONG time. No matter how much babying you do, you *WILL* end up with scratches or drops after 2 years. Hell, even dust, dirt, and lint will cause enough damage over time.

I keep my sensation in a glossy TPU case (which still looks cool) with a skinomi screen protector (which is still smooth as butter), so my phone is 100% protected. After a year or two, it'll still look completely brand new. I bet I can resell my Sensation for $350+ once quad-core phones come out :cool:
[HTC Sensation] kageebe:
I just get a case that isn't flush with the front screen just incase there is a drop, the chance of the screen getting scratch is very unlikely.
[HTC Sensation] mikemethadone:
Never used a screen protector on any phone and don't have any scratches, there not as fragile as people make out is my experience
[HTC Sensation] MeatyCoins:
I usually do not worry about scratches or even dents....before i sell my old phone (usually before 1 year like 10 or 11 months) I request a warranty refurb swap from T-Mobile and sell the phone "Like New"
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
Get a screen protector. i dropped a different phone once before (not the 1st time); thing seemed to bounce forever in slomo like the movies. it felt like it bounced for 5 min. corner to corner to corner to corner then finally to face of the phone. luckily it was a cheap nokia.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
still not sure whats the point of Gorilla Glass then?!
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Yeah, but the problem is getting the smudges off. I scratched my Sensation screen just clearing off some fingerprints with a microfibre cloth that must have had a particle of dust on it.
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
I've never used screen protectors, they ruin the visuals...never had a scratch on any phone I've owned, always wonder what folk do with their phones, surely not share pockets with coins and keys? it has gorilla glass too.-)
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
You sound the chap that finds an extra sock after doing the laundry...

Maybe it was scratched 'before' you used the cloth?:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I will never use a screen protector I've gotten into a habit of nothing going into my right pocket with my phone. Never got scratches and besides the fact that my left pocket ends up more overloaded than a construction zone porta potty at times :D my keys never meet my beautiful screens
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
You will regret this, i did this with my phone and it has gotten 4-5 small scratches aswell as a tiny large one in the bottom, not deep but goes from the search button to the back, and goes back and forth until the bottom.

I have been so careful with this phone, not laying it screen down, not wiping it with my sweater, carrying in the left pcoket, where nothing else goes in!

I even turn my pockets inside out every day to keep them dust free!

****ty glass, wish they used mineral glass instead :(
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I've stopped using sreen protector since I had my Samsung omnia i900 lol

So far absolutly no scratch, but my phone is always in a very light pouch, like my HD2 or TG01 were, and these ones never had scratches (and the TG01 was not gorilla glass!)

I think i'ts crazy to carry such a phone in a pocket without a case or a pouch!
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
No scratches here
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
I'm usually not a screen protector guy but due to the weird texture of this phones display, I use one. It is hard to describe but without a screen protector my finger just doesn't glide as smoothly as it did on my previous screens.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
I've had the original "protector" on from the box. Haven't had the time to install a real one. I wouldn't run without a screen protector only because I know if it had the lightest scratch I'd be upset.

I'd recommend the Invisible Shield protectors. They are expensive ($15) and you only get one, but they are really durable and long lasting. I had one on my EVO 4G before it took a dive in the toilet... what a sad day.
[HTC Sensation] northcutt1023:
I haven't had any scratches on mine, and I don't use screen protectors. Quite frankly I've never good luck with them, they always bubble or tear; this really kills the devices aesthetics.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
me - 10 char
[HTC Sensation] kazam13:
As I said in this post and maybe many are using. For several years I have been purchasing the cloths specifically made for glasses (eyes). I buy them at Walgreens or CVS.

They come in one rather large square sheet, which you can cut up into sections and just wash or discard as you see fit. I never leave the house without one.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Man...after having the phone for 2 months, I finally found a scratch. :( Very thin, and only visible under direct sunlight. Don't even know how it happened, as I always keep it separate from anything that would scratch. Oh well...
[HTC Sensation] manyee:
Not a single scratch after 2.5 months.

I used a tpu case and almost always put it in leather belt holder.
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Me also.

I catch myself from time to time about to drop my keys in there, and I shudder.

Traditionally, I've used a cheap screen protector on my G1, N1 and GX2. However, I have yet to find one that fits exactly right on the Sensation 4G

[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Battery is too LOW, less than 1% left and your phone can't turn on and keep flashing red color when you charge it. Equal 1% left your phone COULD turn on and then turn off again. So keep charging and everything will fine.

And Flash mode lol. Do you notice that SE told us that be sure that our phone must be fully charge or at least 50%. Flash mode eats battery too much. lol

Boost mobile =cdma

vibrant = only GSM support.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Unfortunately, like duboi stated, it would be impossible for the Vibrant to work on Boost. The vibrant functions off of GSM towers(i.e. AT&T and T-Mobile), whereas Boost function off of CDMA towers(i.e. Nextel and Sprint). So, unfortunately there are compatibility issues that can't be worked passed.

Boost does offer a Galaxy S Prevail; however, it's kind of a rinky dink one.
