[Galaxy S II Accessories] CaspaTheGhost:
I've never used cases on phones but have ordered a Neo Hybrid today, should be with me by the end of the week...

Dropped the current bane of my existence a number of times, perils of being a biker...

Phone is Wednesday so I'll have a couple days with it bare, I'm optimistic that I'll be converted to a case user... The Neo looks great and before I got lumbered with the BB I was using a Desire so I'm used to that thickness anyway...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tbong777:
OK the question was for those WHO DO NOT use a case...I am well aware of the minions who are anal about scratches and dings or the worrisome drop now and then..

I just wanted to see how many do not use either and just use their handsets as they were designed. I understand completely why those who do buy cases and "screen protectors" do so. I also understand the fear factor used in selling "various highly technological" pieces of clear plastic for $10 for the Gorilla glass.

I actually tried to scratch my glass with a key and could not while a friend watched in horror. LOL "Scratch resistant" is an understatement for Corning's glass. A small scratch would not bother me if it did happen though. But I do know it would take a lot to do so.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Shujitzu:
I don't really like cases and screen protector. I did not use a case or screen protector for my sgs1 and its always kept in my pocket. After 5 months it got a small scratch on screen and around the casing. I sold it for £180 when I got GS2. I was not planning to get a case for it but after a week scratches on the back appear just from putting on top of the desk and moving it around. I had to buy a case for it which im not really satisfied. I recently bought another case barely there chrome but sent it back coz it looks cheap.

I would prefer no case if only sammy put a different finish on the back. I don't think gs2 will need screen protector as it is glass. it won't get scratch(i hope). If it drops and break. I'll just claim it on the insurance to get it sorted. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ajwood:
I like to feel the phone and how light and thin it is.

But when I'm not using it I have a Mofi case + a DIY Aluminium case to protect it.

+ I'm always very careful with my equipment.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
I have dropped my phones (yes, in all of my phones in the past 4 years) a grand total of 2 or 3 times. I take very good care of my phones, but I always at least have a thin case. But one thing that I'll never do is go without a screen protector. If the back or sides scratch, oh well. Value dropped. But if the screen gets scratch, that would bother me until I get a new phone. It ruins the image. So when I'm about to get a new phone, I order off e-cell those cheapo screen protectors that work VERY well, which I never change because they do a very good job! They usually take about 4-5 days to arrive (from the UK to here in Spain). I like those screen protectors, too. Hehe.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] David Horn:
I don't use a screen protector or a case. Had the phone about 3 months now, have developed some very light scratches on the screen which you can only see with the display off. I think they're in the oleophobic layer on the outside of the glass and not the screen itself.

Why? Because I can't stand the way a plastic screen protector feels, my finger drags across them and the image is always blurry.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFRCER:
Interesting. I have a question (Not wanting to hijack this thread but sounds familiar).

I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.

My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.

Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe

I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.

-Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Anyone know what Google Market does when you update your app?

Does it delete what's on the phone first or just install the app? i.e. will it wipe-out any user changed database data? Assume the update IS NOT to the database, just a simple text change.

TIA,

Roots
[Android Software Development] despotovski01:
Hi,

The Market downloads the updated application and installs it over your existing one. It doesn't delete your user data as well. :)
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Thank you, I wasn't 100% sure. I tested an update by sending friend the new apk and they installed it. All user data stayed intact; same as the market.

Thank you again! :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Matthes42:
In order to get a hardreset you have to switch on your device while holding down the volume high and volume low key at the same time.

But in your case that isn´t a factory reset. In oder to get the default status you have to rebuild the stock condition. That means you have to flash your Stock Windows Mobile ROM and uninstall HSPL. If your want to do this you will find detailed instruction in this forum.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
HTC recently released a system update for all HTC phones. This fixed some issues with their apps. Connect your surround to Zune go to settings, then click update. Zune should check if a software update is available for your surround. If it does, then update.

Ever since I put senseless 2.0 on my sensation I get a message telling me "you don't have permissions to open the page..." Can't watch videos on ESPN or NFL.com... I don't think its flash related. Any help would be much appreciated! I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks everyone for you knowledge.

Also a noob.

I think my Sensation that I bought 2 weeks ago has Sense 3.0, and I changed a setting so now a green arrow appears on flash stuff, and I click on it if I want it to play, otherwise they dont.
[HTC Sensation] Bernardos70:
Not of any help to the OP, but Audiheel:

Go to your browser

Menu button

(...) aka more options

Settings

Scroll down to the Advanced configuration section

Look for Enable Plugins

Yours should say "on demand." That's how I use mine also (saves me from seeing flash ads more often than not).

You can just change it to Always on, and you won't have to click on the green arrow for flash to work.
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
Thanks Bernardos, good to know how to find that setting again. I like it that way as well.

Not sure if I initially did this to save on data usage, or to speed up the page loading, but I like it this way so far.

There is a tutorial on relocking bootloader in the development section, there is a .tft file you can flash that relocks bootloader :)

Yep once you relock bootloader your free to ota :) you will never get your DRM certificates back though :p
[Xperia Play General] brainard52:
I'll pretend I'm not a noob, and that I know what I know what DRM certs are.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
There to do with sony's music software! Basically once you unlocked your bootloader they were deleted even when you relock they cannot be recovered.

so track ID, the facebook like button in the stock music player and qriocity store will never work again :p
[Xperia Play General] brainard52:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rasco46:
Hi,

On my MDA compact IV I have te recalibrate my screen often.

When I have calibrated the screen, it can be I have to recalibate it after 2 or 3 houres. If I dont calibrate it again I get problems, for example if I touch on a send button on the screen It tries to call someone because the call button is below the send button...even sometimes it doesnt even respond at all....

In this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001105 I saw there is a reg edit possible for the calibration of the screen, but its for another phone (touch HD). Does anyone know if there's a regedit for the mda compact to solve this weird problem? Or do I need to replace some parts of the phone?

Greetings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomdra:
Hi,

This also happened to me. I had to recalibrate it more and more often until the touchscreen died completely. I've bought the touchscreen and LCD together on ebay are replaced the screen. Beware - do not buy digitizer only, the digitizer and lcd are glued together, and one can not remove touch screen without breaking LCD.

Actually I don't know what is stock anymore. Hahaha! Too much mod. I guess I got it from crt anim mod from apps and themes section.

The lock.ogg and unlock.ogg files are present in the /system/media/sounds/ui so i think it should be working as stock in 4.0?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariolouis:
I will answer my own question for the sake of the community.

SE somehow changed the default locked.ogg to a dummy sound, no sound actually. Then changed the framework in settings menu to show only unlock sound will be activated. I fixed it by replacing the default locked.ogg to a different one. You can use unlocked.ogg. Just back it up somewhere then rename to locked.ogg and replace. They are located in /system/media/sounds/ui

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_girl:
Hello. The subject matter says it all.

I currently have a rooted and unlocked AT&T Atrix on 1.26 version (yeah...still in ice age :o) with a locked bootloader. Im with a non-US telco carrier. It came unlocked and rooted so that was great. No hassle but now I have started doing research on custom roms and webtop mods. I am trying to get around the info overload, so pls bear with my questions.

The overall goal is to have a stock/custom rom devoid of all the bloatwares and can run webtop2sd, and if that is not possible then, webtop. Very simple needs. :p

Option 1

======

To remain on stock rom and update to 1.83 version, and then to install the webtop2sd mod. Ideally I would like to boot off Debian from the microsd card. There was a post in which a forumer mentioned that he was able to "frankenstein" the webtop2sd and webtop mods. :D Thats great if I understood correctly.

Option 2

======

To update to 4.5.91 (probably a custom rom like Aura) and then install the webtop2sd/webtop mod.

What should be done?

I am going to update 1.26 -> 1.57 -> 1.83 -> 4.5.91 via system update. (which means I now have to signed with moto account...yes I have not as I read that there were some privacy issues.)

Through the update process, I would lose root. To keep everything clean, I am going to go through factory reset and then perform the update.

Once I am in 1.83 or 4.5.91, I will apply the root and unlock the bootloader. Which is the best way to go about this? Should I just follow the instruction here or this way. Or is there any other better way?

This is all I have for now until I install the webtop mod or the custom rom... :p

update your phone to wherever you want it at, then use this script to unlock the bootloader:

after that, you can easily root your phone using the preinstall method found here:

if you update to 4.5.91 though, as you attempt to unlock the bootloader you will get a semi-hard brick, just have it boot up into fastboot mode and continue using the script. easy as pie!
