I used Ghost Armor on my evo 4g and just put it on my 3d and love it, much better then zagg (smoother) and they send you 2 of them, and if those get messed up they will send you new ones (you pay shipping on new ones, thats it, but you have to send your used ones back w/ supplied delivery method)
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:

Im using the Zaggs smudge finger print resistant version and i like it.

[HTC EVO 3D] jordant2:
I'm using seidio ultimate screen guard. I had it on my evo 4g and liked it. I had the zagg on my 3vo at first but it was too sticky for me. The seidio screen guard is a lot smoother and goes on easily with no bubbles. I recommend it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Boxwave crystal screen protectors

And boom goes the Shooter...
[HTC EVO 3D] stc1:
I also have the seidio but my experience with the application was far different. I guess its possible I got a bad one but there were specs on the back which became air bubbles which I can't remove. I have installed many screen protectors like this one but never had this much trouble. Unfortunately Seidio doesn't stand behind these.
[HTC EVO 3D] Evo3D21:
On my original Evo 3D device I had a Zagg Invisibleshield on it. But, after I got a new phone I tried a screen protector simlar to the one in the ebay ad above. Although the actual screen protector I'm using now covers the entire screen, is really smooth, and came with a plastic clamshell case (that I'm not using).

The screen protector and plastic clamshell case are made by Beyond Cell.

Goodluck with whatever you choose...
[HTC EVO 3D] djhyphy:
had zagg no smudge protector, then switched to zagg regular. Smudge proof protector made screen look a bit cloudy to me. good luck on your search!

SGP Ultra Crystal are my favorite.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
I've tried 4 different brands now, each has had it's own drawback.

Cloudy, gritty feeling, not as clear, some were "rubbery", some peeled up on the edges, one even smudged more than the glass.

In the end, I went back to just the plain screen, none were as ever as nice as the plain glass was.

I'll just have to be careful with my screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] tinmanchris:
Just don't use the Sprint's store stock screen protector. The regular (glare) one had WAYYY too much reflection that I couldn't see anything. The non-glare one was a lot easier to read however it def. took away the quality of the screen. White seems to have rainbow crystals in them. :mad:

I'm also looking for a new screen protector now. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] trion:
Why use a screen protector? I never get scratches unless i drop it.

Every screen protector ruins the screen quality more then even some small scratches and the glass on the Evo 3d is even stronger than on my Desire witch still looks great after more than a year with no protection at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] red man:
No screenprotect is the way to go. Best feeling and experience
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I pulled the zagg off of my Evo 4G for 2 months, and never have had one on my pre launch 3D. Both still have perfect screens. Raw dog is the way to go. They have gorilla glass, its very tough.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
Was gonna mention this, the EVO 3d officially has gorilla glass which has a hardness rating of 7 I believe so unless you are always around sand/quartz or anything with a hardness rating above 7 like crushed diamonds all the time then you are fine going naked

Thanks, I'm on my phone and couldn't link.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I guess my 14lb dog has some bad a$$ finger nails then!!! He can rip up some diamonds if this is all correct. He jumped on my bed 2 days after I got my 3D and stepped on my screen, leaving a tiny little scratch on the glass. He didn't hit the phone jumping on the bed either, he took a couple steps then stepped on the phone. So about 7lbs of pressure and my dogs nails will scratch the screen on the 3D....

After that i installed the Otterbox screen protector that came with either the Impact or Commuter. I love it, can't even feel or see it there.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I had a Clear-Coat protector on my X10, and I liked it. It didn't smudge too much, and was easy to apply. I've ordered one for my EVO 3D, though I'm a bit concerned at how the slight texture may make 3D harder to view. Once I get it, I'll post my comments.

As for the Gorilla Glass issue, I'm always of the mind I'd rather spend $20 and have some piece of mind. I've read far to many stories of poeple's GG screens getting scratched.
[HTC EVO 3D] djdisturbed:
for me its not about scratching the glass, the screen protectors keep smudges and skin oil off the phone. I know it supposed to have the coating the resist that.... but for me.... that does not work, only a decent screen protector seems to work (like Ghost armor or zagg)
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
Must be Adamantium claws. Hopefully he doesn't jump up there when you're sleeping...

[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
Yeah the smudges and fingerprints suck, I like zagg cuz they don't show but the zaggs don't cover the entire screen for the 3vo so I'm hesitant to pay for a ghost if its the same
[HTC EVO 3D] djdisturbed:
ghost covers about 99% of the screen, leaves a little around all edges (but VERY LITTLE) wich is fine b/c it fits right to the edge of my tpu case i use. But (in my haste) I messed up putting the 2 they sent on (they send 2 with each order just in case) so I'm going to have to get a replacement...... wich they send to you for S&H only as long as you send your old ones back.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I got home last night to find my Clear-Coat in my mail. Excellent timing.

Installation went pretty well. I had to lift the protector a few times as I kept finding small hairs underneath it (we have cats), but removing the hairs was easy with a bit of the spray and the pointy corner of the rubber squeegee. I almost messed up but putting my TPU cover on before the glue had fully cured, and it started to lift the corner (the Clear-Coat protector covers a bit more of the screen than my case leaves visible). A bit of spray and I was able to fix it up, and it seems to have set well over night.

The protector itself seems to be a bit less textured than the one I had for my X10, and thus it's a bit clearer (not that I had any complaints about the clarity of the one on my X10). It's not anti-glare from what I can tell (I can still see myself quite clearly in the reflection of my screen), but the screen is far less prone to smudging and fingerprints than the stock glass.

Overall, I continue to be quite pleased with Clear-Coat screen protectors.
[HTC EVO 3D] moosh3:
Went ahead and bought this chinese protector because I'm cheap. I ****ing love it :D Looks great, no orange peel at all...only problem is the peeling around the edges. :/
[HTC EVO 3D] AvidBlake:
For the price, I had to try it.. I'm totally impressed and very happy. It's probably 1mm thick and it feels like glass - it is quite rigid. I've felt some other screen guards and you could tell there was a cover in relation to both feel and look. With this one, most people won't even notice.

The anti glare helps some and the anti smudge helps some. I'd say it offers a 20-30% reduction of glare/smudging. I haven't had any issues with the edges peeling up or air bubble yet. It did take me a second shot reinstalling (easy to install, just me not lining things up right.

I can't justify dropping $10 or more on a cover when I can get 5 of these for the same price and just replace the cover if it gets damaged.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
call me a troll, but I'm liking the zagg, mostly because of installation... I have pretty shaky hands and u don't need get it lined up at first, you can manuver it then squegee it once its in the right spot.. plus I bought one and I'm on my 3rd free one ;P
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
hmmm, I have same one zero peeling anywhere.

Vikuiti - ADQC27

Just got This one in the mail from Germany, and its really good, very glass like texture and easy install, I had the dqc -160 for my HD2 for about a year with no peeling or scratches so i thought id give this one a go.

the cut is perfect and i mean totally perfect not even a mm gap all round which is difficult to find in my experience!

To be honest I think its expensive, but its super clear and and scratch resistant with no loss of screen sensitivity and perfect size...so all good for me.

I got a free one with my tpu (ebay) case which to be honest was fine but short in the length by 2mm, otherwise i would have kept it

[HTC EVO 3D] brolz:
I've had nothing but bad experiences with screen protectors. Bubbly, lost of picture quality. But good info on the glass resistance. I think I'll take my chances without it and hope for the best :)
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I was finally able to correctly install a Phantom Skinz screen protector and it's amazing. There isn't any rubbery feel to it at all and it looks great. Tip when you're installing it, don't shake any of the excess water off of the protector, just take it from out of the cup of warm water and put it directly onto the phone.

So please help me my Phone can't boot.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
why device are you choosing in flashtool :? just pick the first one, i think its the x10 :)
[Xperia Play General] ddsds:
Thanks for helping, But how can i choose a file in Flashtool ?

As i understand i can only choose the FTF file , And i chose the Xperia Play one.
[Xperia Play General] ddsds:
OK, After a lot of searching i found out that i had my phone Bootloader Unlocked before flashing,

And after that i tried to flash it and i got the error and it wont boot.

From what i red i only have 2 things to do :

1- Get the phone booting but without radio.

2- give it to sony and tell them that it just crashed while i was updating it.(And don't tell them anything about to root or the bootloadr)

So please if anyone knows any better way to fix it please tell me.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You didnt need to unlock you bootloader to use flashtool, but now you have just flash a system.img from fastboot, your phone isnt bricked unless you tried to do an OTA updated with an unlocked bootloader :D
[Xperia Play General] ddsds:
I searched for the system.img file and i found these files :

1.play_modded.img

2.R800i_3.0.1.A.0.145_UK_system.img

3.recoveryPLAY.img

4.system.sin (I know it's an "SIN" file)

And i tried to use fastboot with them all and i allways get the same result:

"sending 'system' (XXXX KB)..."

I watied for very long time but nothing happend.

So please tell me if i am doing any thing wrong.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Try formatting /system and /boot first,

In fastboot type in

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

Then flash this kernel with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

And i also tried to flash the system but with the same result.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
And you are sure you have unlocked your bootloader :confused: maybe you should ask or PM blagus, he is the expert in these sorts of things :)
[Xperia Play General] ddsds:
Yes i just checked and it's unlocke.

And thank you so much for helping and i will PM him and wait .
[Xperia Play General] ddsds:

[General Questions and Answers] Angelo2009:
Hello

I'm about to buy a cell phone and do not choose which of these two ..

What matters to me is the custom ROMs that have the latest version of Android, which of these phones also have more posiblilidadades they continue to create ROMS updated to the upcoming versions of Android. Another thing is that they have problems with the computer hardware .. I was watching that I could install the i5500 is CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 and it works perfect, however with the S5570 has some flaws, such as radio and usb tether that not work ..

I await your responses.

Sorry for my English.

Thank you very much.

[HTC Sensation] phazzdaddy:
Quick question.. I know most of us are being plagued by the annoying touch screen issues.. so my question is:

Users that are using root/custom firmware.. are you still experiencing these issues? This will be the deciding factor in whether or not I root this phone seeing as there's not any release dates for any software updates.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
I bought the S4G on July 9th. For the first week or so, I had a problem with the touchscreen where dragging the unlock ring up would rather bring an icon up. It would take 3-4 tries before the phone would really pull up the unlock ring.

After the first week, the problem went away for me. I have been S-OFF since the first of August with perm root and the problem still hasn't come back. Not sure if this is the same issue as you, but the problem seemed to fix itself.
[HTC Sensation] phazzdaddy:
What exactly is S-OFF? And what does it do for you?
[HTC Sensation] thejedimex:

[HTC Sensation] twistedvision76:
My phone used to that at one point and it drove me crazy! Since then I did the whole rooting thing, flashed Civic's back2basic rom and I've haven't had any problems since. It's running super smooth. Did two other sensations with no problems, lag or reboots yet
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
I had that same problem for a week and then it went away. Hasn't come back and I bought my phone on launch.
[HTC Sensation] emzed:
Not sure if my problem is the same. On my Sensation, when my screen is turned on, it's not responsive in all places for the first 6 to 7 seconds. After 10 secs or so, it's working flawlessly. It's especially annoying when answerring or cancelling a phone call.

Do you think rooting and S-off would help this issue? I'm now on OTA 2.3.4
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
S-OFF, ROOT, custom rom etc. does NOT fix touch screen issue. That's what you were asking about, right?
[HTC Sensation] emzed:
OK, thanks for clearing that out.

The thing is, that I only have this issue after getting the phone back from repair (shattered glass). The repair guy couldn't find anything that could cause this issue. But due to the repair this touch screen vulnerability was triggered. Can't go back to HTC now, due to the repair. So I'm stuck for now.

Rooting helps you to control your phone. You can try different roms and see if the problem goes.

Rooting doesn't but flashing a 2.3.4 ROM will solve ur issues more than likely. I'm using LeeDroid and its great no lag no dead spots.

HI folks,

Hope you are keeping well!

By any chance, has anyone purchased this cover already?

If so, what are your thoughts about the cover? Good stand? Good Quality?

Thanks in advance for answers

Regards,

Mingo
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] whips:
As a matter of fact I purchased this case a week ago and so far I am very happy with it. Some reviews said the camera holes were not aligned but mine fits perfect. The material is of good quality and the stand is very sturdy. The major con is that the magnetic latch seem to interfere with the built in compass of the TF, as such you will see a pop up on the screen from time to time of you are using an app that needs the compass, other than that, this case is a good buy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mingocr83:
Hey Whips!

Thanks for the answer. I'm planning to purchase this case tomorrow with the Eeepad as well.

I do not see the compass issue as a deal breaker...not planning to use that very often. Going to get it based on your review!

Excuse me for asking, but why is this a problem?

I tried this manipulation and it worked. I did it on the last unbranded French ROM and the "desktop" was clean. Not even a droid to tell me how to slay him.

Do you know what this procedure would do on a branded ROM? Would it keep the provider's specific parameters (like the location.cfg)? Would it keep the ugly layer of my provider?

You have to tried by your own.
[Defy Android Development] Nemado:
Ok, I tried it and it only removes motoblur. The layer of my provider was still here.

On every ROM I tried, you could cancel the motoblur setup (by pressing 'parameters' when the phone requires you to log in your account). Does this manipulation do the same as cancelling this setup or does it also prevent some application from installing?
