[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I got my Charge from Costco for $180 a while back and it came with a leather case(it sucked, covered the headphone jack so I can't listen to music while it's in the case, what a fail) and a few screen protectors, I ****ed up the first 2 and got it right on the final and third one. I used it for a month or two(the period where you're really protective about your new toy) and just a few days ago I removed it and BOY it is so much better. I decided to do it because the screen protector I had on only covered the "screen" part of the glass and in those 2 months of using it the parts that weren't covered(Samsung/Verizon logos) were completely unharmed. At that point I realized it was just a waste to have the protector on at all.

I'm not saying to take yours off but the Costco one I had sucked ass, if you have a good one and you can't even notice it's there and you never get that "rainbow" glisten effect then just leave it be.

This is my Epic 4g after 1 year naked. All the Gorilla Glass in the world won't keep it from getting scratched. Scratch resistant isn't scratch proof. All it takes is one mistaken trip in the pocket with a set of keys, a clicky pen with a metal point, a paperclip, or some other hard scratchy thing. And even if the metal doesn't scratch it, the tiny particles of sand and grit that inevitably end up trapped in your pocket will.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ckirkp79:
My charge has been naked since day one. Only had it for about a month and no scratches yet. I bought the case and holster combo that has a stand on the case the holster has soft fabric where the screen sits.

I used to swear by screen protectors but if you are careful and take care of your stuff you won't need one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rami98:
I had my naked for a month and got one tiny scratch. A great thing about Samoled screens is that even if you do get a scratch, since the glass and lcd are glues together, no dust can get in, the picture is clearer, it doesnt reflect as much light and if you do get a scratch, it doesnt produce that rainbow effect on the scratch on white screens like a regular lcd. my bros inc2 has a 1 cm scratch and it makes a really annoying rainbow effect but the small scratch i had on my charge didnt do anything. I had to return my charge because of vertical lines on the screen and got a new charge and i bought the verizon antireflective protector. HUGE MISTAKE! This thing sucks and makes a bunch of colored tiny dots that are visible on every color other than black. Looks like ill be getting a ZAGG or Steinheil. Which one is better?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jwd45244:
Droid Charge Bareback. no protection. No scratches (so far)
[Verizon Droid Charge] hockeybpr25:
I bought a screen protector and it gets to the point that I'm like oh cap is it still on? Because I can't even notice it so why not have one of if you can't notice it and you'll never get a scratch
[Verizon Droid Charge] rami98:
do not get the verizon anti refective ones!!!! They are utter ****!!!!! Get zagg or steinheil, even the costco ones are better that come with it!
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
Point of clarity:

(S)AMOLED(+) screens are not as you describe. You're confusing display technologies. Yes, the external glass and display are mated together as you describe, but the display is AMOLED, not LCD. LCD is an acronym for Liquid Crystal Display, a backlit technology that uses liquid crystals to gate light appropriately. AMOLED is an acronym for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, an actively lit technology that uses 384,000 (in the case of SAMOLED+ on an 800x480 display) individual RGB LED arrays (1,152,000 LEDs total). In contrast, regular SAMOLED uses a pentile matrix (RGBRG), reducing the number of LEDs by rougly 20%.

That's enough sperging for me for one day.

Edit: I also run completely unprotected. Just sits in my front pocket (or on my desk) all day. Zero scratches on the screen with the last 6 devices I've had (3 LOLmoments, 2 Fascinates, and now the Charge).
[Verizon Droid Charge] skipwagner:
Vertical lines on the screen like when you press the lock button? I have that and my phone is 100% fine. And I always gave a screen protector. I don't care if its gorilla glass. I paid 300 bucks for this phone and it needs to stay safe
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
I hit my Charge's screen with the tip of a dart to prove to my friend that he doesn't need a stupid screen protector on his Infuse.

You have a Super AMOLED Plus screen, why wash it out with an obsolete screen protector?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
I ran my fascinate nude for 10 months without a scratch...and my charge is the same after 2 months...no protector for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] diamantericos:
When i got my phone the rep put it on but i wasn't seeing all the glory of the beautiful screen when i took it off i was so amazed its truly stunning take it off and enjoy the beauty you paid for and plus i have no scratches its been a month now
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaiderWill:
No wonder my phone does not have the brillance the demo phone had with those big orange squares.. They put my ( In House ) protector on the second it came out of the box 3 months ago.. I have never seen it at full Brillance ! Damn ! I may have to get mine Naked Too !!!.......... This is Exciting!
[Verizon Droid Charge] diamantericos:
Exactly unleash the brilliance there is no need for a protector on this phone its like parking your ferarri in the garage and taking the bus living in cali
[Verizon Droid Charge] rami98:
no like actual dull vertical and some hoizontal lines in the actual display, not something that got in its a problem in some samoled screens.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbutt:
Hi,

Firstly, please don't attack me for not using search. I have spent an hour or so searching these forums for any answers, but there are a LOT of hits for LED-related problems and none seem to match :)

My G2 was running CM7.0.3 when I got it, and the charge LEDs (both orange and green) were working correctly. Last weekend, I upgraded to CM7.1RC1 using ROM Manager. I did a full wipe of everything rather than just a dalvik cache wipe. Now, I am finding that at night when my phone is charging I am getting no LED lights at all. No orange light or green light. Has anyone heard of a similar problem to mine?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Actually, I don't think my LEDs are working at all. They are certainly not flashing when I receive mail.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=851685

patch by pershoot. it could also just be a broken sensor.

p.s. its pretty sad when people ask not to be attacked...gives a glimpse of some characters we have on xda
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busbutt:
Thanks for the info!

On further investigation, seems my charge LED is working but somewhat intermittently. I thought it might be related to the "Dim LED" option in Quiet Hours, but after toggling it my LED seemed to be working regardless now. I might try the pershoot patch anyway for kicks, but I guess this is one to chalk up to "weird LED behaviour" - seems to be a very common problem :)

Tonight I have been having problems with my SD card, anytime I try and download a file to it, I get the error "SD card unexpectedly removed" and then I can't access the SD card at all until I reboot

Any help appreciated. I'm running miui freshly squeezed with a class 10, 16 GB card
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
Back up everything you have in your SD card.

I had that same symptom once. After a few reboot I lost the SD card. It became unreadable/unformatted.

So, just in case. Back up your data first.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbubba999:
Cheers, done a bit more digging and its an issue for quite a lot of people. Backed up the card and using the standard 8gb that came with the phone. Ordered a new one too from play.com, as they are in the sale :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael_duvalle:
I had the same problem unexpectedly too the other night. I took the SD card and via a usb adaptor I connected it to my Windows 7 computer. A window popped up asking if I want to scan and fix for errors or continue without scanning. I usually just continued without scanning when connecting my phone directly but this time I let it scan and fix. Low and behold once it finished the scan I tried it again in my phone and it mounted successfully. Ever since then I've had no further problems since either.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simpody:
This happened to my 16gb mmc. Went on for a couple of months. I ignored it and mounted it manually. It died a couple weeks ago. I had no back up. Devo

Same Problem

Guys i have been experiencing the same problem for some days now.

Found this post here; Was thinking the problem has been solved over here, but you all are reporting your problem.

Any there anyway this problem can be fixed or as most of you mention. The lifespan of the card is getting close.

Or I should just prepare for a new sd card (which am not ready for now).

My Case here is kindda different because when i boot into recovery, the sd card shows up and works fine.

when i boot into android then it cant be found.

[HTC EVO 3D] fkirill:
Hello everyone!

Because I had some battery issues with previous ROM I decided to roll back the original one. So I downloaded and started original HTC flasher.

I said in the beginning that device was not found and after that I doesn't switch on at all. I guess it is smth in very early stages of boot sequence that stopped working.

Though when I plug it in I hear the sound of USB device found and "adb devices" tells me that device is in the recovery mode.

Is there any way (other then going to service) how I can recover critical boot areas so that I can at least run recovery UI?

I guess I can use ADB to flash smth.

Any help is very welcome. Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Did you try "abd reboot recovery"? Or even pull battery, then restart phone while holding vol-down?
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Your not bricked. If you know you had some juice left in your battery, unplug your device. After that hold down the volume button and repeatedly press the power button without letting the volume button go.

Thank you guys, I tried once more (just in case) but still black screen...
[HTC EVO 3D] Febby:
I think I read on a thread that removing the SD card and putting back in battery lead to phone booting up to recovery or something.. not so sure as there is times when my phones battery dies and won't turn back on easy :/
[HTC EVO 3D] fkirill:
Interesting thing: I went to the retail store where I bought it, they exchanged the batteries with the display unit and my phone switched on.

Well, it looks like there are issues with changing after all. Looks like by battery was completely discharged while charging indicator displayed smth around 50%.

I was reading some complaints that there are issues with charging and now I inderstand that I ran into one of them.

Looks like battery stats are broken, I'll try to clear battery stats and we'll see what happens.

The reason for the original misbehavior was that battery was IN FACT fully dischrged but phone was thinking that it was still 50%. And it was NOT charging by the way. Now all the pieces match up. :-)

CM6 is still a work in progress, it is very stable but not all is working like fm radio, if you want all functions, you should try the XDA Special RC2 Hellmonger edition, very fast and stable.

ive been using dj steve's release 2.0 of honeystreak for a few days and scrolling through the forums on the development threads but i cant seem to find a way access cwm, to confirm i am using:

dell streak 7 wifi version only

honeystreak 3.2 release 2.0 wifi only

and i am accessing recovery from holding down vol+ and power and selecting option 2 (third option down).

i can confirm i have been able to access CWM before i flashed honey streak so i no its not the process of accessing it that im having a problem with, i did flash honeystreak release 1 but later flash release 2.0 for cwm.

please help as the only reason i wanted a dell streak 7 was to have honeycomb and cwm.

cheers guys
[Dell Streak 7] Watcher64:
Well, when you select update.pkg what does it do???

That should get you CWM, if it does not then something has gone wrong, maybe re-download and re-flash ..

Cheers thanks for the quick reply

Hi all. I'm currently looking for a new phone and I'm pretty interested in the Galaxy SII.

I currently use a rooted Nook Color running CM7 as a tablet, and I want to connect it to my new phone via an infrastructure hotspot.

Can the Galaxy SII host infrastructure wifi, or adhoc only?

Forgive me if this has been asked before. I search of this forum for "infrastructure" didnt turn anything up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Yes it can host a wifi hotspot, no idea about adhoc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapdotavi:
I know it can host a wifi hotspot, but what I'm curious about is whether that hotspot is ad-hoc or infrastructure. If it's adhoc I have to modify one of the WPA files on my nook, which DOES work, but it causes major instability and hassle.

I'd rather just make sure I get a device that supports infrastructure, and then I dont have to worry about it :)
