[Nexus One Accessories] -Phazenine-:
So I just ordered some ghost armor after hearing alot of great reviews and finding a 20% off promo code. Looking for some of your opinions on this product. I've read it's a pain to apply but after it cures it's an amazing product.My plan is to couple it w/my otterbox. After installation I'll update the thread a review

[Nexus One Accessories] -Phazenine-:
Best reviews over all the protective skins out there, plus warranty. Pain to install but worth the trouble. Coupled w/ a high end case (otter box/casemate) is the ultimate protection combo

Ghost Armor Review

I have an LG Nitro HD which has 329 ppi, just a little more dense than iPhone 4. It is absolutely stunning in sharpness and color rendition as well as brightness. The screen is already scratch-proof (it's made of Gorilla Glass). I tried scratching the glass with my razor sharp Swiss Army knife, it doesn't scratch. Believe me, I tested just the corner (beyond the borders of the display) and thought long and hard before attempting to scratch it.

So I got Ghost Armor for the screens of my wife's and my phones just for the oleophobic qualities (repels skin oils so doesn't look very smudgy after use). Many reviewers claim that there is no orange peel effect whatsoever. That claim is FALSE. It has a slight orange peel finish. The claim that it doesn't scratch is also false, it is in actuality scratch-resistant. I scratched it by moving the aforementioned pocket knife from side to side (perpendicular to the blade) as though shaving it. Since it is removable, this is not a problem whatsoever in my opinion. You can easily see the texture of the film on a dark screen. Also there are tiny imperfections in the surface (like pits), but they don't seem to affect the image quality of my screen, so I can't imagine a lower pixel density screen being affected. It does a great job of repelling fingerprints, but is not completely smudge-free. However it's easy to wipe with my shirt, which quickly removes the smudges.

The film doesn't have any sort of rubbery grip, at least not to objectionable proportions. Neither is it slippery as are some of the hard plastic screen protectors. I like the way it feels, and it is very thin.

We just had the screens done, there's no product for the back of our phones because it's textured. We declined to get the product for the sides and front. There's an approximately a two millimeter border around the Ghost Armor where the film doesn't reach the edge of the glass. There are voids to accommodate the front camera and sensors adjacent to it. None of those factors are objectionable. The product looks fine notwithstanding the imperfections mentioned in paragraphs above and below.

THE PROBLEM: After the first application on both of our phones there were very tiny bubbles under the film. They are numerous and look somewhat like streaks that result on glass after wiping with dilute soap. So we had it reapplied (which was done free of charge under warranty). The only hassle was having to wait for the order to come in then return to the mall cart where Ghost Armor's very polite salespeople are. Our phone model is so new and possibly not that popular tha the don't stock the product for our phones. We have the same effect (though not identical position of the "streaks") with the new application.

I am not sure whether to request a refund or give them another shot. They really do stand behind the product, but it simply doesn't meet my expectations. They get two stars because they stand behind their product, and because their salespeople are very polite and forthright.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] doctor xylophone:
So you understand the magnitude of the situation, my very own well being is at stake here.

Anyway, so my girlfriend has a sidekick 4G and complains about it occasionally. So I suggested installing a custom rom on her phone (Smooth Maximus) as a remedy. I get the CWM on her phone, wipe, install the rom, and then as it boots for the first time it hangs on the boot screen (attached to this post) for almost 45 minutes before we decide to try again.

I try to get it to boot into CWM to restore, but it doesn't, it simply will go to that boot screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! A million thanks in advance!

Don't worry you can easily recovery from that state, most likely you forgot to check your mounts which causes a soft brick

Follow the steps in my thread here or the KD1 version (doesn't matter) and start the process over just be sure to check your mounts before and after flashing the ROM

thank you very much!

sadly it wont boot into download mode for some reason, it simply will flash the boot screen as I hold down Volume Down\trackball\power as if it powering off and on. I'm figuring the phone is now of another world. :(

does anybody know how samsung might price this repair?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
you can boot into download the way in thread doesnt work well

Just remove your battery

open odin and load the pit into the pit slot and the tar into pda

plug your phone in without the battery

while holding the vol down and trackpad put the battery in.

(this is an awkward hand postition but possible)

you will get into download mode
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] samandiriel:
I can vouch for this method - it's the ONLY way my phone will boot into download mode.

Try this method to install that rom. I posted it in another thread. Hope it helps you out.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypted:
Could someone enlighten me as to the differences in RCMix3d 234 and RCMix3d Double?

The ROM thread postings aren't too indicative. I see the kernels are different.

However, I have no clue what Pyramid vs. Doubleshot really has to do with anything?

What's it mean for the end-user I guess is my concern.

I love RcMix ROM's and the one I'm using is now unsupported. I want to upgrade to a supported ROM but am not sure which to go for.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uros0104:
Pyramid and doubleshot are phones from which they ported those ROMs... I think they're pretty much similar, the only difference could probably be some bugs here and there, but nothing huge...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypted:
Ah, damn. I was hoping to hear that this new one had Netflix support!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
I reckon there is not much difference it's just the race of ROMS who can cook more ROM...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
Pyramid is ported from the Sensation, Doubleshot is ported from the MyTouch 4G Slide. I think the Doubleshot has a slightly modified version of Sense.

I appreciate all the input! My hopes of a great custom ROM supporting Netflix is all but hopeless anymore I think.

[General Questions and Answers] LordLazarus:
Hi Guys. Scrabble on iOS has a feature that they call "party play", which basically lets you use an iPad as the board and up to 4 phones as tile holders. It uses wifi or bluetooth to connect the devices together so the players can send tiles from their phone to the iPad to play the game. This feature is absent from the Android version of the game, and I've been digging around and haven't found any other games/apps using a direct device to device communication setup like this. Has anyone else looked into this? Does something about android make this kind of device interaction difficult/impossible or has it simply not been tried yet? Thx for the feedback, Laz

Well I tried to reflash my defy to a original sbf ..but here is what happened I am using linux so ran the sbf file and then it reloaded but it reloaded to:

Bootloader

09.10

Err:A5,00,00,00,00

Battery ok

ok to program

transfer mode:

USB

ok so thats pretty much all I can do it dosen boot to anything else.... I need help

this defy is from Tmobile and from the US it was a 2.1 plus tmob service update 1 but I had rooted it and wanted to upgrade using the original server but it would not let me thats why I decided to flash it myself. I wanted to get the 2.2 upgrade my service provider sent.

Help me out plz I dont know what to do..
[Defy General] farsight73:
Try with windows PC, install RSDlite and its drivers first.

1) Wipe in stock recovery.

2) Boot into bootloader.

3) flash it with your froyo 2.2 sbf.

You should be alright since your current phone running 2.1 stock. But make sure you download the official Tmobile 2.2 sbf if you want the warranty continue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
I upgraded to 2.3.3, and now when I use Swype the first thing that pops up is that copy and paste marker right on the w. I can't begin texts with words starting with w unless I hit delete and remove the copy/paste marker. Is there anyway to take the marker off from the get go. I checked the swype settings and found nothing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RubiconJoey:
Thought I might be the only one. It's pretty annoying...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
It's frustrating because its only on swype when you send out text messages. Anytime I use swype for browsing or emails the marker doesn't show up until I want it to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
I have that problem too. I also have a problem using swype when trying to type in a url address in the opera mobile browser. It constantly autofills. I backspace to type what I want and it autofills again. It's really freaking annoying. Doesn't do it with stock keyboard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
Ok, a new version of swype is coming to all handsets:

Hopefully they fixed the copy/paste marker.

does anyone know how to make a working vpn connection with the touchpad?

i couldnt get one.

i have win 7

tried vnc too, :(

did anyone get an working vpn connection?

works for me. my proxy server uses pptp so i download pptp plugin from market and all's good. :D

I think if you have an ASA you can try the built in anayconnect client provided you have a mobile license activated on the Cisco otherwise use IPSEC on your gateway device. I never played with pptp on the touchpad before.

is there someone who can write up an a quick tutorial for the ones that dont know how to do it.

that would be apriated.

i want to control windows 7 remotly with it
[TouchPad General] RaySuave:
Bump... Same question. Out of all the people who have recently bought the touchpad, there has to be someone out there that can give a short explanation on how to use the native VPN capability to connect to a Windows system. I have searched all over the net for the answer and have come across many unanswered forum threads.

Below are instructions I used on Win 7 to create an incoming VPN connection to make it available to be connected to.

pcworld. com/article/210562/how_to_set_up_vpn_in_windows_7. html (take the two spaces out of the link, cant post links yet since Im a NOOB!!)

On the touchpad when using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN connection type and enter the host name, I get this error "Connection attempt has failed due to configuration issue with server"

When using the VPNC connection type, and enter the host name and password, I am prompted to fill in several fields that I dont know what to enter.

I use my laptop to log into my Win7 desktop all the time easily via the Remote Desktop Connection app. Hopefully there is something similar coming to the touchpad.
[TouchPad General] sirscrubsalot:
I have an openvpn subscription with strongvpn - this works well for the technically deficient peeps like myself to have an added layer of security when using windows machines in a public wifi area (i.e. hotels)

I asked strongvpn about any support for webos, and they were not sure of any workarounds to date. Any new ideas on this? I am using an open vpn (as opposed to their ptpp). They said that on rooted android devices open vpn will work following one of their tutorials.
[TouchPad General] Johnsonm90:
If you are technically sound only then you will be able to set up a VPN and solve these kind of issues yourself..Average PC users like me will avoid indulging in these configurations as they are too complicated for us :D

Why not try an already established, reliable VPN service provider for touchpad??

you can definitely Google them and can choose amongst the choices you get..That would be far easier believe me :)

[Q] VPN support

I was wondering if anyone has tried vpn support on the touchpad? I am looking at using it overseas as a way to watch amazon VOD while I travel.

Edit: Found out I needed to download a free app from app catalog for PTP support. Works now when I connect to my school network. Also I found out that playon services work too on touchpad so I might try that for netflix.
[HD2 General] smokeinggta:
I made the mistake of buying a hd2 off eBay and the guy claimed it was just a cracked screen but I have also found some of the hardware buttons also do not work. Since the phone is locked to T-Mobile and I am useing att I don't have a good way to test that it will make phone calls so I can be sure I want to dump some Money into fixing it. From what I was told if you have a active T-Mobile account you can request free unlock codes and I was wondering if someone would not mind doing this for me. Or if you have a way I could test it with out a T-Mobile similar that would be fine also. The imei number is 357779038858930. Please send a pm or post on here if you can help. I hope this is the right spot to post. Thank you
[HD2 General] htccraze:
Well the first thing you should know is it will cost a good bit of money to fix the phone. Your best bet is to return it and say it wasn't as described. Even if he doesn't except returns you still may file a claim with ebay so that he will refund some or all of your money and/or do the return. Just to let you know you can probably find one on ebay used

still in working order

for around $125-$175 so it would really end up being cheaper to do it that way.

your phone probably cost about $100, then count in $80 for a new LCD screen and digitizer. this brings it to around $180. If the Keypad Buttons are messed up you'll need a replacement, thats another $10. hopefully you wont need to buy a new flex cable and side button membrane which could be another $25. This is if you do it your self but i do know that sometimes ebay sells crack screen replacement service for around $100. This will only fix the screen so if you have a hardware issue its going to cost more. I dont want to talk you out of the phone because it really is a great phone but i would check into all these things first and if you feel its worth it then go ahead. If not atleast you can probably make the guy take the phone back since he messed up on listing it right.

Doing the unlock service: If you still dont have a taker on this pm me and i'll see if i can do it for you. I know that i've done it several times before so my only question for t-mobile woul be is there a limit to how many i can do. i'll try and find that out myself so that if you dont have any takers and there is not a limit that i'll be able to do it for you.
[HD2 General] atula87:
-It costs about 15$ to unlock it online by using IMEI #.

-The only way to unlock it for free is that u have someone using tmobile. He uses this hd2 for 3 months then he can request unlock code from tmobile for free.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
that's not true.

He just has to have an account for 3 months, he doesn't actually have to use that specific device for 3 months.

still imagine unlocking 100mb of ram bro.... cause thats what the /cache is man swap or RAM if i get that unlocked ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

no effect.... no relevance for that matter LOL

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

And if they did.... what about if they accidentally the whole thing?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I don't know about that. In other ROMs, with the Dalvik on /cache larger apps, e.g. Angry Birds, wouldn't download (not enough space) when the /cache partition was to full.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
You could maybe make a swap file on /cache (and an additional swap file on /data) and throw in some of the other useless small partitions. But that's still going to require fastboot.

I like using /cache for /data/dalvik-cache though and I used to get pretty close to filling it. CyanogenMod is sort of nice in that it will actually split the cache between /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache with /cache/dalvik-cache holding the system apps and /data/dalvik-cache holding the downloaded cache.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I was reading today on reddit that some people divert /cache to the sdcard so that large downloads work. I haven't tried it though.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Hmm.. Dunno about this one as well. but I never had that error, and I usually download the ROMs via my phone.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:
Like 3rd string mentions, cache size determines the size of an app you can download from the market as the market uses /cache as a repository to download/install apps...at least that's what I've noticed
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] eejin2:
come on he wasnt saying he did not want to help... cant you read what Hellmonger said carefully? anyway, wouldnt it be good if you could use cache as swap? makes things more complete now that there are already so many good roms for our phone. since we are almost making 2.2 perfect, why not just do a little more, instead of leaving it there and starting to work on 2.3 where theres much more work left to do...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
So i think Mz has the right idea..

But do we really have to set it up as swap the whole point ois to get this set up as ram so we dont have to fast boot anymore....
