Tbolts actually do have Gorilla Glass.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

However, I know from repairing many, many phones that while they may be resistant to scratches (ie throwing your phone in your pocket with your keys), they are NOT resistant to falls where your screen will receive an impact from greater than a couple of feet or more. In fact if you drop your gorilla glass phone on either the top or the bottom (ie not back or not screen), I have seen enough evidence to say that it is MORE likely to CRACK your screen than cheap plastics of old.

As always, it's a trade-off. Simple solution--take care of $600+ devices.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] fenixjr:
I've definitely already managed to obtain a very light small scratch in the center of the screen. That won't change my opinion of needing a screen protector however. Girls that constantly throw their phones in their damn purses full of keys and such, sure. But if you store your phone in an unoccupied pocket I don't really see the point.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] rancidcrab:
Do any protectors fit around the curved edges of the glass?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Diversion:
Nice one, pulling the trigger without doing your research. But someone schooled you anyways.

Staying on topic, I picked up the screen protectors that VZW is offering and it doesn't add any bad side-effects you see with a lot of other brands. They are just plain clear I guess and work well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Diversion:
In time i'm sure someone will have ones with the pre-cut holes for the ultimate clean look.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
Ive got an otterbox it makes it huge. And another screen protector i put on before i decided on otter box im going to remove. Its obviously less sensitive to touch.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoogleAndroid:
I have Ghost Armor on my Droid 3. Can't stand to have a scratch on my screen. I paid 200 for the phone and I definitely wanna protect it. And on the Bionic, if you push on the screen, it distorts, while other GG phone don't, making me think the glass is very thin. So why risk it?

And anyone that's looking at screen protectors, I recommend ghost armor. It doesn't grip your finger like the invisible shield(it's very smooth), and it is completely clear and doesn't dirty whites.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Anyone know when Ghost Armor might have a kit for the Bionic?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Actually if I am correct the Iphone 4 doesn't have real Gorilla Glass... Either that or it just sucks on the Iphone 4. I broke the glass on my old Iphone easily while Droid,Droid x and even my bionic have suffered drops no other phone would survive... My Bionic took a long plunge on top of my metal hdd enclosure's edge... I was scared for a moment cause I saw two huge dents... They were in the screen protector screen was still like new.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcade16:
Nice. Makes me second guess my decision to remove my anti-glare one that the verizon rep at the store put on for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
My droid 2 was dropped under my car and skidded face down over rough pavement. It's been dropped on concrete. Never a scratch, crack or any functional problems. Same with my old LG Voyager. That said I'm going to get a defender for the bionic mostly for the holster but also because there's a baby on the way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoogleAndroid:
Don't know, but if you buy it now, they'll custom cut one for now and call you when they get the real ones in and put it on then. For my D3, they got the rounded corners and everything with the custom cut.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] yohimbe35:
I removed my anti glare one also. It was terrible. I'll try and find a clear one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
Sand will scratch anything. My Gorilla Glass Sensation has two scratches on it. I still prefer not to use a protector, though. I'm way too OCD about bubbles and stuff.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheRedBull:
I spoke with a rep at the Ghost Armor station at a mall in Phoenix and they said it should be less than a week for the actual Bionic screens/full body kits. Personally, I'll wait for the custom fit one and not one cut to size. Just means being careful the next few days. I hate Invisible Shield, so I'll wait for the Ghost Armor.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnkrebs84:
i accidently dropped mine yesterday. the screen shattered into a million pieces!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] quentin0:
I've found that the only way to surely scratch Gorilla Glass is if you lay the screen down on flat glass. It will create a suction, and even if there's dust between the two pieces of glass, it will scratch.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Celeras:
I thought people used screen protectors to get rid of smudges on the screen ;p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
!!!!! Ugh that blows. I picked up otter box and extra screen protectors because I've cracked every Android device I've ever had.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmc896:
I had an antiglare protector on my dx and was always dissapointed in the screen then i filed a warranty claim on the ear bud jack and when i got the replacement i realized what i had been missing due to that screen protector
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] duke1313:
Hello,

Does anyone have a fully working cheap game pad? I want to buy one but I don't know if a PS2 pad for example would work fine, or even a compatible one.

Any experience with them?

Thanks! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
I dont know exactly how cheap you want to go but i got my Sixaxis off eBay for 20 bucks shipped. If you look for the old sixaxis controllers wthout rumble they are pretty cheap. Then you can either plug it in with a usb cable or purchase a 2 dollar app that lets you connect it wirelessly. (sixaxis controller in the market)

If you have the keyboard dock you could also just pick up a 3rd party xbox 360 controller. Im not 100 percent sure about compatibility but the Agterglow controller i have works great (lights and all). I think its made by PDP and I got it for 20 bucks at gamestop, where they have a great selection of used controllers too.

Other than that Im fairly sure that after 3.1 most usb gamepads should be compatible. If you want really cheap head down to your local thrift store where i sure thy have an entire wall of ancient usb gamepads.

Good luck an happy gaming!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bjd223:
I have a couple cheap ones and some work better than others.

SNES style controller with USB that works fine on Transformer

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JAU20W

$9.15

If you want something with analoge sticks (note one of the two sticks will not work on transformer) then I went with a wired xbox controller

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZSN600

$29.96

I went with the xbox bc I have an xbox already, if you have a PS3 you might want to get one of those so you can use it on more than one thing.

I also have an xbox 1 controller with a modded USB cable (just cut the wires and match up the colors) and it works great. Since they are so old they are pretty much free and have actually more buttons to map then the 360 controller.

I also have a NES Style controller like the SNES one it was cheap but for whatever reason it does not work on the transformer but I use it on my PC all the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] typci:
Be careful buying cheap controllers, they are cheap for a reason. They cheap controllers (and sometimes the expensive ones) almost never compare to genuine console controllers.

If you can stick with PS3 and 360 controllers, they work and they work great. Just buy used if your looking to save some money. I have both a wired 360 and a wireless PS3 controller I use with my Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] duke1313:
I think you're right. I'm going for the ps3 original. Thanks everybody! :-)
[HTC Sensation] ajaysinbeast:
Is there some way to make 3g video calls over your carriers network and not through other apps like google talk, skype etc
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
In order for video calling to work you must use some app, and the ones you just mentioned happen to be the most popular.
[HTC Sensation] ajaysinbeast:
I am a new to android and asked this as i could always make video call on my touch hd wm without going for any other application with normal airtime call charges.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
If you have twitter/fb synced to people's hub, how often do they update? Can we manually set update intervals? And is the only way to be notified of twitter mentions and FB messages/wallposts/comments through a live tile? Because i dont know how much info can a 1x1 tile give. Or do you get sound or toast notifications too?

Can we also set WHAT do we want to be notified of? Eg can I set to NOT be notified of any comments and keep it just for wall posts?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
It shows up as a backside to your Me tile

It doesn't give you the actual details of the comment or whatever, you have to click through to the notification to see the details

There is no sound or toast notification

The phone app doesn't specifically allow you to set what you get notifications for, but I wouldn't be surprised if just used whatever settings that are on your fb account
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
what about update interval
[Windows Phone 7 General] loomx:
I couldnt see an update interval setting, but they seem pretty much instant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] epkfaile:
i know that the facebook app will do most of these things. u can set the interval, and there is a sound for notifications and other things, as well as a live tile displaying how many of there there are unchecked..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Endeavour1934:
Sometimes it's nearly instant, but other times it takes ~1 hour. No idea what triggers the updates.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] byuboy87:
im running LB's cm7 & i have psx4droid working fine with my ps3 controller. i downloaded SNesoid & mapped the keys for the ps3 controller, but they dont work during the games... anyone know of a snes emulator that fully supports the ps3 controller??? plz & thanks...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
SNES9x EX has native Wiimote support, and the last time I tried to use it with a PS3 controller it seemed to work well. That was on my Tab 10.1 though - I haven't had a chance to return to CM7-land since LB's second Bluetooth fix attempt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] byuboy87:
thanks a lot, will try it... yea, im running the build with working gps & semi working bluetooth. bt sometimes has problems turning on, but after connection, its solid...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennay:
Hi, I've been having some problems with my Galaxy S2. About a week ago(maybe a day after flashing MIUI), my phone wouldn't boot normally, and only gave me a symbol which I ment battery overheated. Only way to start it up was CWM. So I did that for a few days, and then the battery drain would get really intense. It'd be at 100% for a few hours, and then suddenly it'd drop to 80% in a minute or two, and then it'd go normally down to 70% and then down to 40% in a few minutes, etc.

It wouldn't charge when I plugged it into the wall, either, and it's not possible to turn the phone off either, it just starts up again by itself and gives me the "YOUR BATTERY IS OVERHEATED/AT 80% BATTERY" error. But even if I plugged it in in that position, or actually running it wouldn't charge for a few hours, and then it'd start charging randomly for about 5 minutes. So after a full night of charging (8 hours) it'd get about 30% battery recovered.

I didn't really read into it any and just figured buying a new battery would fix it, but it didn't. It still won't charge properly and the drain is pretty intense still. And still gives me the overheat sign, and won't boot properly, etc etc..

The reason I haven't just tried flashing a different ROM is because I live at school where a 100-300mb download is impossible to pull off, and I won't be back home for over a month.

If this is too long to read, lol here's a summary:

Flashed MIUI

Battery won't recharge

Drains fast

Phone won't boot properly

Bought new battery, same problems

Live at a place with no proper internet connection to download a different ROM with.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be? The rom? Some rampant application running wild in MIUI? The phone?

Oh and also I've tried re-flashing MIUI, and clearing the cache, data, battery stats, etc etc.

Thanks a lot in advance! :(:(

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
Heard this before somewhere, did you upgrade it from a lower firmware? Which firmware were you on and which did you flash specifically? Best option is to reflash a stock firmware via flashtool or do a repair via SEUS if you're still on your phone's original firmware version. See if that helps.

[HD7 General] radiance26:
Hi everyone.

Just got an HD7 today , and to celebreate this I decide to take my "old" HD2 to make a screen comparison. And what a surprise !

Screen turns yellow on the white, colors seems to be denatured :(

Yet the two screens appear to be a TFT-LCD screen.

Have you done a test like that ? what do you think about this ?

I need help downgrading my Htc Mozart from 7392 back to 7004. anyone can help? i am using a Malaysia set, i think is Asia SEA region firmware.
[7 Mozart General] PsyCLown89:
You need to find the original 7004 ROM first, then just simply flash it.

If you are downgrading as you want to get a chevron unlocked Mango you can use Ansars custom NoDo ROM or the DFT Mango ROM :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraslin:
Couldn't post this in the synergy thread as don't have enough posts. Have not seen anyone else with this problem.

About once a day my keyboard will no longer display what I type on the screen. I can see it cycling through the dictionary but nothing will end up on the screen. Been doing this for the last several synergy releases.

This is with ANY keyboard as have tried the default android, Gingerbread from the market and Swype. Once I reboot the problem goes away for a time.

Problem usually surfaces in Handcent or Enhanced Email as those are the programs where I am the most and typing.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
No idea, I used synergy for a good long time and never had that issue. What I'd suggest you do:

Use the stock e-mail and messenger apps for a day and see if the problem happens in there. If it does, then you might need a clean, fresh install. If not, then you know the problem lies Handcent and Enhanced E-mail apps and, thus, I recommend finding replacements or learn to like the stock apps.

Worst case, just reboot the phone when it happens. Reboots are like erasers, it fixes all the problems.

If I helped, please hit the thanks button ^_^
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraslin:
Thanks for the reply!

Am assuming that a clean install would fix but have been seeking to avoid.

I did switch to Smart Keyboard Pro from the Gingerbread one and it seems like it may have fixed it.

Need a couple more days to verify...
[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
Hi Forum..

My girlfriend, have just like me, a X10i...

Her X10i are doing something wrong...

When she recive SMS that is more than one SMS long, the phone somehow mix old and new sms up, so the SMS she get is part new, part old (sometimes years old can we see)...

How can this happen ??

We have tried to factory reset the phone, that btw is running original provider specific Android 2.1, but then the problem is gone for perhaps a day or two and then it starts all over again...

The funny thing is that it only happens when she recive sms´ from some few of her contacts, not all...

The mix-up is sometimes result in really sick sms messages, as you can proberbly immagine...

And she is really tired of the problem...

Can we somehow help her ??

is it the phone, or is it some sort of problem with a provider ??
[XPERIA X10 General] Dark Nightmare:
There is a date issue on your phone, you can try by flashing a fresh stock firmware, or make sure the date on your phones remain constant, if it's incorrect from the beginning, then when it auto updates, it will mix messages up, placing them according to date, or it can simply be a firmware issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
Go to date and time in settings uncheck automatic, go to time zone set as your countries timecode. Im using +8 cause im in the philippines.

it should fix the problem.

Sent from my locked BL with DM kernel.
[XPERIA X10 General] -- X10B --:
There is no issue on firmware just the settings of time zone.

Sent from my locked BL with DM kernel.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
use handcent or go SMS instead of stock
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Also check if the contacts that sent her the mixed SMS

have Nokia phones or WM phones (6.5 and below, not WP7).

Those two kinds of phones sometimes have these problems,

they mix outgoing messages and send nonsense! :D

So, it could be an issue on the other part, not your girlfriend's.
[Vibrant General] magics5rip:
EDIT: This is not a result of ROM Manager, this is a result of installing Overstock 1.4.3 which also installs CWM recovery.
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't remember this ever not working.
[Vibrant General] Wilsonium:
I am having issues with 3e. No matter how carefully I follow the instructions (flash->reboot->reinstall packages always fails) when flashing recovery from current Rom Manager and Premium License, it does not work. Additionally, the premium license is persistent in my applications list and no premium ROMs ever show up in my download list. Even when I select Vibrant MTB and either 2.x or 3.x, all I get is a message that states current recovery will be used. I'm still going thru posts for a possible solution.
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Try putting this in the root of your internal SD, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice.
[Vibrant General] magics5rip:
Yeah, I was misinformed. This is not a result of ROM Manager, this is a result of installing Overstock 1.4.3 which also installs CWM recovery.

If anyone want to do this it is really simple with the SGS kernel flasher app. Download your overstock kernel of choice from here or your choice of kernel that includes CWM from the dev bible, unzip it, move the zimage to the internal phone memory and then choose that file as your kernel with the SGS Flasher.

Note: I have not been successful with going back to stock kernel when I tried to but that may have been because I didn't disable the lag fix.
[Vibrant General] Wilsonium:
I'm 100% stock on 2.2Froyo except for root/unlock and am puzzled by this. I know it's not ROM Manager because it worked on my first SGS4G which died and totally bricked after a week (TMO exchanged it happily cause it wouldn't even go into download mode or charge).

What's in this update you linked? Cause I'm smart, but not as smart as most of the posters here and I recognize only a couple things in the file.
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
It installs CWM.

Are you using a Vibrant or SGS4G?
[Vibrant General] Wilsonium:
SGS 4G for TMobile.

BTW... I totally appreciate the help here. I don't know the ins-n-outs of the android phones like I do IOs, not that I'm all that up to date on that either.

Update... Still does not work. I get the failed signatures error and the update is aborted. I tried doing a factory reset and re-rooting the phone in case something didn't work correctly and get the same error. At this point, it's all gravy since the only thing I really needed was the unlock but now I'm in a "I just want to know how this works" mode.

Thanks for the help.
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
Ok yeah that my be the problem since that zip is for the Vibrant. So just to be straight, you are unable to get CWM on your SGS4G?
[Vibrant General] Wilsonium:
That's correct. I can't apply any update.zip nor does flashing CWM recovery work. It says it's flashing but then when I do the 3 button reboot to get to recovery, it's the 3e version still and when I go to reinstall packages, it starts but then fails as it tries to verify signatures.
