haven't received it yet, ordered a few days ago. and I would like to see how it stands up long term, I saw a video on youtube of some guy who used a boxwave screen protector for his tablet computer and after about 3 hours of writing with a stylus it was all scratched up.

[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
When you get it, you will appreciate it. If not, I'm sure you can return, but I doubt you will
[HTC Amaze 4G] junkeeroo:
Just put the Steinhall protectors on phone... Cost a little extra, but very nice.

The Ultra Crystal is very clear...100% transparent without any glazing or other distortion, even in direct sun.

Installation was also very easy and smooth (they give you two in case ya mess up).

Feels nice and smooth to touch and my screen looks as clean, in terms of smudging, as it did with just the gorilla glass, if not cleaner.

Highly recommended.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
Sorry no offense

nope don't appreciate it, it is a cheap product and won't order from boxwave again :(, it took two week to send a small envelope, their customer service sucks, and I used to have a screen protector from http://www.gadgetguard.com/ on my old old phone that felt much smoother and gave the zagg like protection, unfortunately they don't make protectors for the amaze. boxwave screen protector still feels sticky...I've seen ones with much smoother touch...sorry.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
Got mine in three days (USPS Priority)

Never had a problem with their customer service

What do you mean by sticky? Used both clear and anti glare, both are not sticky
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
sticky as in how zagg feels lik,e but a little better than zagg, a little more smooth nontheless still not as smooth as the screen.. the gadgetguard protectors are sooooooo smooth exactly like the screen itself!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
OK, there is something wrong with your order chief. Never known this to be so, which did you get? I gonna guess its the clear touch.

I just ordered a full body skin from BestSkinsEver.com

I've been using their skins since I had my motorola Slvr back on the day. I've used their skins on all of my devices since then. I'm currently using their skins on my Acer Iconia a500 tablet and my wife's Sensation.

The skin is clear, smooth and hard to scratch. And the price is pretty reasonable.

I can post pics after I applied the skin if anyone is interested.

Over my "Smartphone/PDA" history, I've used a huge number of different brands and have narrowed it to 3 that I have no hesitation recommending, but only 1 that I regularly purchase. *Disclaimer* I prefer anti-glare protectors so, I can only give feedback about those.

1) Boxwave - Super pricey, really durable, easy to apply. Maintains its anti-glare without as much "hazing" effect as some other cheaper ones.

2) Steinheil - Still pricey, really durable, easy to apply. Anti-glare properties are also excellent.

3) The ones I actually buy now...DCMugen's eBay Store. I have no affiliation with him or anything, just a buyer/user of his screen protectors. They are inexpensive, thick/sturdy, easy to apply. His anti-glare protectors produce slightly more haze than the equivalent Boxwaves...but $5 for 3!!! Can't go wrong for the price.

Thanks!

[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
ok so I figured why the phone felt kinda sticky originally, I think it was the sticker that you peel off for the first time...after a couple days of use, its very very nice and smooth and sticks to the phone better than other screen protectors I have, and very glassy like feeling and complete glass texture...I was wrong to judge so fast thanks heyodee for the suggestion :)

I first found this on Ebay but the seller sold out.

I found it on Amazon.com for $19.93

Just wondering if any have tried this case out.

Yeah I know...no one really wears belt clips these days lol.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
is that a holster and allows the phones screen to face inward? if so, i am very excited! i just spoke to my friend about that the other day...all the cases ive seen have the screen facing outward and exposed...i dont like the vulnerability of that..i told him i wish i had the resources to pitch an idea like that to someone and get it made...also..is that phone in a rubber case too?

also...im curious about the ease of putting the phone in and out of it...if it will scratch up the back of the case

they are selling on ebay for much cheaper $14

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Can't you just do that with any holster? Its the same size around, unless some holsters have the button area set but this one seems like both ways since both side are the same amount of space for buttons

DMolina ツ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
the package comes with a holster and a case..i dont know about the dimensions of either...if you buy a case or holster separately they may not fit perfectly together...and most holsters are just cases with a small detachable piece on the back to put it on/off of your belt...therefore the screen is facing out..which to me is a no no

like this one..

I bought one off amazon. Ill report about it when it comes in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anhmuonm:
I wonder if you had bought it and tried it out yet? if yes, please tell me your opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:
DO NOT BUY

i got one of these cases for my phone the first week i had it same color and everything and not only is it a cheap POS but it doesn't even snap on the phone snug and is bulkier than a ************ buyer beware!!

It ended up fitting my phone so horribly i demanded a refund from the seller and he told me i didn't need to bother sending it back.

ALSO: the title "3 in 1" combo case is a load of **** because the kick stand doesn't work in landscape...no joke. You can see in the pic i uploaded that the kick stand clip part sticks out and the phone cannot balance on that uneven point it literally just doesn't work.

Also the portrait mode kickstand mode requires you to put your phone in upside down and the kick stand function is based off of extreme pressure on cheaply made plastic and nothing else. When you bend the pincer clip open you can see it bend where it is connected to the holster by a clearly visible glue circle

So yeah just wanted to prevent someone else from wasting twenty bucks... and sorry to those who already did.

I use this iPhone sport armband case for my phone so i can keep it safe and protected but also add no extra bulk. I wish i had a link but i got it from Walmart looked through all their cases and was about to walk out when i saw this beauty sitting on the iPhone exclusive aisle of accessories.

It fits the phone to a tee.. snug as ****. Its almost too good of a fit but manages to be perfect.

Again i wish i could hook it up w link or even brand but i just threw the packaging out as soon as i got it and slipped it in my device heh.

Here's a visual reference I'd imagine wall marts all have similar inventory especially with something like this

I'm aware the phone is not a sgs2 its an evo 3d to demonstrate how much you can see the screen through the window and because i dont have tapatalk installed on it and im too lazy to install it just so i can take a picture of the phone im using with it. Rest assured that the case fits like a dream. The material is also made so you can interact with your screen through it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidUK:
Hi all,

I got my Nexus Prime today. I'm quite impressed, but it has a problem that's driving me mad.

When I first turned on my handset and entered my Google username it tried to download all the old apps from my previous Android handsets - I didn't ask it to nor did I want it to! Anyway, this failed part way through and none of the apps actually installed.

Since owning this device a few hours ago I cannot install anything through the Android market at all. I keep getting told that the download failed due to an error, but nothing further.

I've tried rebooting the handset but nothing appears to be able to be downloaded.

I can download from other sources, for example I downloaded the Swype installer and that installed fine, from the Swype website (Swype states it's not compatible with this handset!)

I'm not sure if this is a general bug or if there's something wrong with my individual handset but it would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Hi I had this problem too, unfortunately clearing cache and data from Market doesn't do anything (at least for me), I had to do a factory reset, worked for me and my friend who also had the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidUK:
Damn, after an evening of customising my handset I was hoping not to have to do that.

So it appears we've discovered an issue with this handset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidUK:
Yep, that fixed it.

Annoying though..............:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The way to avoid that is by skipping the initial guide and then att your account in settings instead. I agree that they should just ask you instead but the above way has worked ever since that feature was intruduced in 2.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
Sorry for the bump but I'm having the exact same issue.

Just rooted the phone and after all apps were restored I tried downloading apps and keep getting that error.

I already did a factory reset several times and nothing. Just tried skipping the setup and adding my google accounts later but I'm still getting the same error :X

Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem? Do I have to return my phone?

It's been driving me crazy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
there's a Nexus Prime? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
Pretty sure the OP meant Galaxy Nexus.. which is what I have a problem with right now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckurtm:
I have the exact same issue. tried doing a factory reset and that doesnt help. I even tried to add account only after first boot and that too doesnt help. anyone have a better solution to this, its driving me insane

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

I seem to have managed to fix this now. I popped my sim into my old android phone, I noticed that the apn settings being used on old phone are different to those GN has setup by default for my network provider. I just copied those through to the new phone and market works again :D. Hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghammer80:
Having the same issue also. I'm on Telus in Canada and the APN settings are the same on my old phone. I have done a factory reset and am still having this issue. Please help!

Are you guys rooted? If you are it could be the ROM your using?

Or just let it restore, and wait. It can take hours, let it do its thing. By tomorrow will be working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxmwxx:
You are right. It's the weirdest problem I've seen but somehow it just fixed itself.. Apps install fine now (too bad I didn't know that before doing a million factory resets and deleting my settings)

Any ideas anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
So for the past week a tower has been down in my area (33884) and I've called Sprint a few times regarding missed calls, text not going through or receiving, slow data to none at all etc... Well the first time I called they said a tower was having some issues and that it should be resolved by 11/17. Well today 11/18 it was worse. So I called again, this time the rep informed me that yes the tower in fact has an entire voice and text outage! OH NICE! So I asked if this tower being down had anything to do with Sprint upgrading it's towers and/or Sprint Network Vision, she unfortunately could not confirm anything, but did state that my area was receiving "capacity upgrades" at this time. Does anyone know what these "capacity upgrades" are? Are they Sprint Network Vision related? TIA!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I'm not sure but it sounds tasty!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gqstatus0685:
Sounds like BS to get you off the phone. She probably had a break comimg up.

If that were the case then capacity upgrades have been going on for.the past two months in my area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Hahaha, well I don't know about that. But I mean I've never had such horrible service with Sprint ever! So guess I could be positive? About the situation lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
Yeah means that the tower can't handle all the connections.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r1_2fast4u:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
So for those in the Las Vegas area, notice in increase in speeds or anything? Curious to see how that area is doing after all their upgrades....

http://www.thestreet.com/story/11345230/1/sprint-enhances-3g-network-coverage-in-las-vegas.html

Randomly I checked out LA, holy cow has Sprint been busy there!

Last 6 months:

5 voice upgrades

116 data capacity upgrades

81 data speed upgrades

2 new towers

Completed:202

Next 6 months:

4 voice upgrades

66 data capacity upgrades

25 data speed upgrades

Planned:95
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Nice! Wish this was the case in my area! A new theme park (Legoland) was put in 5 minutes from my house and my speeds have been awful! A tower has been "down" since 11/25/11!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I would think (and hope really considering the tourist traffic) that Sprint would consider large cities and touristy areas a high priority in their upgrade strategy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrick_1:
I live in the SW area of Vegas...4G speeds are between 9 & 13mbps down and reach the cap of 1.5mbps up at my house (tower upgraded). The strip as well as other areas are inconsistent. In the Henderson area where I work I'm, according to sprints tower placement map, in between two towers and 4G for the most part is unavailable. As for 3G, it's typically 100-200kbps down and even slower up.

The one...The only...E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Exactly what I told Sprint! I'm going to write a letter to them. The Rep I spoke with yesterday informed me that the tower I use is only operating at 41%, when in fact it should be at 95%! Yes 95%!!!! He said even a tower operating under 90% is really bad. Rep stated 70% of my calls when on that tower are being blocked!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
That's pretty bad, I'm thankful my area isn't that bad. I'm not sure how fast these upgrades are going to ACTUALLY take place (even though it says in the next 6 months) considering they are now probably upgrading their towers to LTE and making that even more of priority than 3G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are in SoCal, Sprint is a great company to go with. It may explain which my signal has been sporadic lately ..even when I am not moving.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
They appear to have been busy in Milwaukee, as well... Several voice and data upgrades within a square mile of my house... But I haven't noticed any appreciable difference in performance.

Interestingly, I note that according to their map, I have 8 signal sources within a mile of my house, and yet I still have inconsistent data speeds. Of course, according to Netmonitor (Android Market), the source MY phone connects to has not been upgraded, nor is it scheduled for an upgrade.

[HTC Aria General] tebuddy:
Hey all,

I've got this odd problem with my Aria running Cyanogen 7.1 with Drowing's kernel.

Consistently throughout the day while moving from place to place where I either have Wifi, strong 3g connections, or both, that I will lose internet connectivity until I reboot which will restore both internet and sync/facebook capabilities. At first I attributed the problem to Juice Defender messing with wifi and 3g disabling so I uninstalled it. After today though, I realize the problem must be something else because the exact same thing happened.

I have yet to try doing a data wipe and re-installing 7.1, but I will if it could fix the problem.
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
There have been many reported data issues (in the kernel's thread and the nightlies' thread) with the later builds of CM7 using that kernel.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
You should be able to simply flash the CM7 ROM on top of your current installation, without wiping anything, which will revert you back to the default kernel. It's not clear why but when the Android version number bumped up to 2.3.7, DC's kernel has caused data problems for some people. You shouldn't need to wipe any data to correct the problem, but you will have to stop using the kernel -- at least until someone figures out why it's happening.
