[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Desire S has no Gorilla glass on

Talked to HTC support many times asking if Desire S is equiped with Gorilla, and the answer was clear: Desire S does not have Gorilla...It uses Asahi glass.

Having scratched Desire S is understandable.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
I never knew that! Most reviews state definitively that it has Gorilla Glass, but I guess that catchy name is now fairly "generic" for any kind of toughened glass (like many people say "hoover" when they mean vacuum cleaner).

Still, the Ashai glass looks as if it ought to have similar properties to the original Corning aluminosilicate "Gorilla Glass" :

[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Well there is one new glass made by Asahi called Dragontrail,which is a tough one. But us strongly doubt Desire S using this glass.

You can go ahead and ask HTC about the glass on their Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] adamhc369:
My desire S gets scratched really easily. It doesn't bother me much but it's still annoying. Not surprised to hear it doesn't really have gorilla glass. My old desire (class if you will :p) didn't get any noticeable scratches and I'd had it for longer and treat it a lot worse. Kind of ridiculous that the screen strength seems to gone down hill even though the advertised strength seems to say it's better.
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
I wish HTC had an answer to this question why didn't they use Gorilla on Desire S and still charged us with a price of a high end phone?

It really sucks that I have to look through a screen guard and my friend has fun rubbing his key chain on his Samsung Galaxy S.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Gorilla is just a brand name for Corning's proprietary brand of aluminosilicate toughened glass. It too can be damaged. Surely what matters is whether whatever HTC are using actually does the job (regardless of brand).

I can quite understand HTC using Ashai because it's probably cheaper.

I accidentally dropped my DS from a height on to a hard surface and it survived just fine Ordinary (soda) glass couldn't do that. Whatever they are using can't be too bad.
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Are you using any protection on your screen? If not did you get any scratches on the glass?
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Actually, it's still got the original screen protector on it.

I'm not suggesting that the glass HTC can't scratch, but rather that it's probably not really that much different to the original Gorilla glass.

Thinking about it - Didn't another poster note that the Corning site claimed they provided Gorilla Glass for the DS? Perhaps HTC changed supplier at some time?
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Original screen protector? Desire S comes with bare glass out of the box. My phone had no screen guard out of box, neither does all unboxing videos on YouTube.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
It appears that some of them do come with a protector fitted even in the factory sealed box. It seems that it's usually the unbranded / unlocked ones. This has been the subject of another thread. Mine was so perfectly fitted that I didn't realise it was fitted until I tried to put on a second one and it all went horribly wrong :D
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
This is strange. Mine is an unbranded, made in Taiwan,black one. I am using a screen protector which was applied by myself. My phone came to me with no screen protector pre-applied on.

Could HTC be using different kinds of glass on one phone?!
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Unless your talking about that giant piece of protection that it comes wrapped with inside the box, I'm calling you out as a liar. Either that or someone had pre-applied a screen protector for you, because no HTC handset comes with a screen protector applied at the factory level.

That's a pretty retarded reason, "Oh I'm going to grab my key chain and try and scratch my phone" -_-" .. As I said in the other thread, its "scratch resistant", not "scratch proof", show me where HTC said it wouldn't scratch or bawwwwww more.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Sometimes it's really annoying, what are you wanting, if you really want to scratch it, you make it for sure.

Guys it's still a smartphone, no Swiss knife.

I got mine since 6 months without screen protector and I got no scratches at all.

I just got a wallet like it's recommended for EVERY smartphone and sometimes I put it in my pocket (in the same where my keys are) without the wallet for a short period and still nothing.

Sometimes it can be scratched by accident for sure, but at other phones it's the same.

So don't blame it on the phone if you got bad luck or not much brain.

Swyped from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Nobody actually tries scratching their phone. What we are asking is why didn't HTC use gorilla on Desire S? Desire S meant to be an improvement for classic Desire but it actually is reduced in glass quality.
[HTC Desire S] bellor:
If HTC Desire S does not have Gorilla glass... then why does Corning say it does?

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
Despite what corning states on their website, HTC denies using Gorilla on their Desire S.

To make sure you can contact HTC support and ask if Desire S has Gorilla;however, the answer you'll get might be disappointing.
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Seems a bit radical to call me a liar !

It would seem a fairly dumb thing to lie about anyway.

The box was definitely sealed with an HTC sticker and it came from an authorised UK HTC distributor.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Have you taken a look at Asahi glass or are you just trolling? It's almost the same.

Take a look at this
[HTC Desire S] hamedunix:
The glass on Desire S is not Dragontrail. Not every glass made by Asahi is Dragontrail.Not to mention Dragontrail by Asahi won't be available until 2012.
[HTC Desire S] Raaert:
Im with you.

I bought a factory sealed HTC Desire S which came with a screen protector pre-fitted.

And no, not the normal ones you see on regular phones, a real screen protector.
[HTC Desire S] admds:
I just think gorilla glass is being used as a term more than an actual product recently. I have now been cast and screen protector free for a couple of weeks now and God does this phone feel good to hold.
[Galaxy 3 General] 0czko:
I got this message when i'm trying to restore rom backup made by kernel ver. 1.8 g3mod. I got ext4 and swap partition. How to unpack sd-ext.img to ext4 partition in winxp? Is it possible? (don't have linux system on pc). Or maybe it's possible through some linux commands via terminal emulator on my phone? If yes, what to type?

Please help.
[Galaxy 3 General] 0czko:
ok. i've managed to solve it. just replaced kernel to fugumod, restored backup again and it unpacked properly.
[Galaxy 3 General] Pinak.ahuja:
Unpacking is pretty easy just change the file extension to tar and extract using 7 zip out any other utility.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuczeq:
Hi

Anyone tried to use 32GB SD card in Xperia X8?

Prices for 16 and 32 GB are almost equal :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_mol3y_x8:
max is 16gb for x8 i think. Check full spec online.

but the more items you save and install on your x8 the slower it will get. :(

it will also take longer to boot as android runs a full media scan on boot.

hope i helped :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] CdMaAK:
After flashing to CW7 from MIUI on my Showcase I lost my radio. I used Odin to flash back to EB01 to restore the file system, but did not realize that it would overwrite my modem. I have my wife's Showcase that is rooted with recovery but need a way to dump the modem and then upload it to mine. I did not realize that the backup images did not include the modem. A full image with the modem would also work. I have tried a half dozen other modems, but the EC04 must be a special build for my local provider.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
What on Earth are you talking about? Just ODIN one of the multiple Cellular South stock ROMs
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I don't think EC04 was CS. I think it's one of the other random small companies that show up here thinking we are all the same.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Oh yeah. Dumb move.
[Samsung Mesmerize] CdMaAK:
So there is no way to get a complete backup that includes the modem out of my other phone?

I figured that a Verizon ROM would at least get the phone to work since Verizon roams on my carrier in Alaska but it still says searching for service with 0dB signal and *228 is a no go. Worst case I bring it back in a say that it just lost signal.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
You'd have to get it from the carrier.
[Samsung Mesmerize] CdMaAK:
I refashed a complete ED05 image via Odin with phone EFS clear checked. I then used *228 to activate and I'm back in business. I have tried both the fascinate and showcase builds of CW7 and the only difference I can tell is that one says Verizon and the other Cellular South.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
.........Wrong
[Samsung Mesmerize] CdMaAK:
I'm sure there are many differences, but I can activate and make calls using either one and everything looks the same.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
A little indecisive aren't we? :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
Can you use dd to dump the image? guess not as radio is not a seperate partition?
[Samsung Mesmerize] fishnski:
[/COLOR]

I am in a very similar situation. I lost my original rom from my showcase. It was an EC04 build with matching modem etc.

Can you tell me where you got the ED05 rom? I am with ACS and screwd up along the way of making my first recovery and lost my stock rom. Now I need something that works up here. I would like to flash the original rom and have it as my starting point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolshubh:
Hello guyss, today when I was browsing through my sd card I saw a folder named LOST.DIR and its consuming space of around 2GB... And it has more than 500 files in it..

So can any one tell me if this is an important/system folder and would it be safe deleting the whole folder!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
It is a folder of damaged files found during file system checks. If it is that big you are not treating your phone right.

The main tip is that you have to properly unmount/eject your phone from your computer before unplugging the USB cable.

Also but not as likely is that the phone should be properly shutdown not doing stuff like just pulling the battery. *Just stating this since some people do that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
Deleting it however, is fine. As said, all files in there are corrupt. :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolshubh:
As u said its junk file so its very safe to delete it ryt?? I DONT TO MESS WITH MY PHONE
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Delete the contents but no harm in keeping them they are dead files .

Your choice .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolshubh:
Bettrr i'll delete it its taking large portion of my disk space...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalWabbit:
Hi guys, I'm new on XDA and a new HTC HD2 user.

I got my HTC HD2 two days ago and first of all I must say I have no experience in installing and flashing yet.

I have Windows 6.5 on it. It seems I have my HTC with EnergyROM installed.

In my tools folder I have a Launch Android app. My SD card is empty (just bought it).

I want to have both WinMo 6.5 and Android 2.3.* installed at the same time and choose being able to choose which one to run (the android should be installed on the sd card) . Can someone point me towards the right direction on how to do this?

What are the risks of doing this?

ps1. I'd like to use the Launch Android app provided with EnergyROM to do this if possible.

ps2. I know it might have been asked already, but I feel much safer if the answer is given to me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Have a look here.

Find an android build you would like to use.

Follow the instructions in the thread.

The Launch Android app on the energy rom is basically just a shortcut to allow you to launch android with one click.

There are two files you need to run in order to boot Android and this app does that for you.

This will make sense after some time reading through the forum I linked you to above.

Dont worry too much as running an SD card build cant damage your phone in any way. You will always have WinMo there as a backup.

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalWabbit:
That's exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you very much!

Do you have any advice? Which build is smoother and faster from your experience?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Its been a long time since I used an SD version of android.

A lot of it is personal taste.

The good thing about the SD versions is that you can just swap between the by copying different folders from your pc to your sd card. All your settings will still be there intact.

In fact you can keep multiple builds on your card and just rename the folders.

"Android"

"Android1"

etc... The folder titled "Android" is the one that will boot if your using an app to launch it so just rename them as needed.

As for suggestions, I dont like HTC Sense for Android so I always used the CyanogenMod or AOSP Roms. Try a sense ROM and a standard android to see what you prefer.

AmericanDroid is a good one. (No HTC Sense)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neol:
@conantroutman,

does running android from sdcard drain the battery faster and does android run slow if ran from sdcard ?... reason am asking because I intend to use android only from sdcard and just retain Win6.5 as primary OS.

EDIT: btw which one do u suggest froyo or gingerbread ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
To answer quickly.

Yes and yes.

However, its worth it to have 2 os's

If you spend some time setting up android you can get good battery life and a good build will only be a little slower than normal.

I'd recommend GB but try both and see what suits you best.

As we all know CyanogenMOD 7 is the most desired ROM in Ace. But it has yet to come! So our 4 Best Developers started to port Gingerbread AOSP. CyanogenMOD 7 was also made from Gingerbread AOSP.

Are these guys trying to make a ROM from scratch? i think it would take hell lot of time compiling the whole rom!, that sounds great, My salutes to them :) :)

But will it add some extra features like Tv out, HD recording... i don't think so

I just want to know how would it really benefit the average users like me???

A big thanks. I am reciving files from EmoBoiix3 to extract from system.Img to do some fixes and send it to Fla.sh for him to pack into ODIN. No cwm package ATM but maybe. and we are building from source but android.git.kernel.org is down ATM we need that to sync to get aosp files

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
AOSP stands fot Android Open Source Project . It means a pure Google phone , which was not dirtied by Samsung's hands.....currently it boots , but launcher.apk and settings.apk force close on start . :p (I did something wrong probably)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
And of course no extra features. AOSP is aimed to be a base rom for other developers. Extra features will come in the event somebody wants to use it as base and add features. :) thanks everyone! I'm the tester for the team anyway, not a developer.
