[HTC Amaze 4G] xda_23:
Hello all,

I am getting one from Mobilicity, and I have some quick question

I saw many people complaining about hardware issues, mostly the screen. how can I identify if it's good or crappy screen ?

Does Mobilicity has 2 screen manufacturer as well ?

also, if I don't unlock the bootloader, can I at least change its theme and menu ?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] dredd0606:
I personally haven't seen any screen issues on the canadian phones, TELUS, WIND, or Mobilicity, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I wasn't aware of HTC purchasing screens for the Amaze 4G from multiple manufacturers either.

You can change your theme through HTC Sense 3.0, not sure what you mean by menu. Your best bet is to go to a Mobilicity store (or WIND or TELUS) and play with one of their live demos. Good luck, its an awesome phone!

[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
well they had 2 different screens on the desire, incredible, mytouch 4g, sensation, and more. so probably. i dont understand why they do it. someone posted a thread about his replacement having a much better screen than his last one so who knows! my senny had an amazing screen though
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I have the Amaze on Tmobile and I haven't yet to see a post confirming two different panel types.

I have seen one member posting about a dramatic difference on his new Amaze but he hasn't confirmed his panel type either.

And I have no problems with my screen at all.

The way to identify your screen type is as follows: (This does not require root)

1. Download Terminal Emulator from the Market.

2. Restart your phone. (This reduces the results log.)

3. Run Terminal and type in "dmesg" without the " "

4. Long press on the data and choose "select all" then copy.

5. Open your "mail" app. Paste and send it to yourself.

6. Hop on your computer and open that email. "Ctrl F" to search the term "panel"

7. Keep hitting "next" until you come to something that says "panel type = "

8. It will look something like this:

mipi_novatek_panel_type_detect panel_type=PANEL_ID_PYD_AUO_NT

Good luck.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mako62:
Got mine from WIND and the screen is perfect.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
We need an official thread on this so people can make sure HTC is making a different screen on this or not, if they arent id be so happy :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I made one. Lol. Right after I made that post.

Had the same idea.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
haha good thinking! Will post when i get mine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xda_23:
Thank you all,

will post my panel tomorrow once I get the phone, and hopefully I get the good one (if there is really 2 different panels)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xda_23:
I mean getting an ICS theme even the setting menu for example. or should I root the phone first to be able to personalize it ?

I went back to CM7 after going through a few Sense Roms.. for some reason my contacts wont sync (The Pictures wont sync/ nor will the birthdays on google calender ) Anyone else having these issue's or have a fix...
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Im having some issues as well. Some, but not all of my contacts pictures will sync...guessing its a problem with facebook

*edit* just did a fresh reflash for CM7 and reinstalled the FB app, let it fully sync and now the pictures are back
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzizz:
...and i don't know what to do.

I uninstalled busybox because i wanted to install an older version(was reading about v6 supercharger) and lost root because of it somehow.

i wanted to just use zergRush again but was afraid of messing things up and made a factory reset (superuser still on the phone even after i checked deleting sdcard).

now i cant use zergrush because he doesnt find ANY files and just reboots the phone, i cant connect to my Home Wifi (stuck at obtaining ip adress) and i somehow cant do anything with SE PC Companion Support zone (doesnt recognize sd card).

what can i do to root it or at least gain Wifi again.

im pretty clueless rightnow...

edit: arc s 2.3.4 .42 fw, locked bootloader

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
Weird thing happens when i reboot into recovery, when i try to navigate the menu with the volume rocker one press will up or down will translate to a few button pushes

also, the power button turns the screen off, but only after being in recovery for along time

anyone else experiance this?

edit, when the power button turns the screen off it says "back menu button disabled."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
This is a known issue. If you keep scrolling through the menus the back button will become enabled and navigation should return to normal.

I am running CM7 and just recently started having some USB problems. I plug in my USB and shows connected in the notification bar but when I click the notification to enable USB mass storage, the mass storage screen pops up for a moment and the disappears.

I have tried wiping data, using different USB cords and everything but no luck. Today I went to odin back to stock to fix but odin couldn't find my epic at all. The phone runs fine except for that. What is wrong? How could I fix it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
Did you try checking (turning on) USB debugging?

Anything else possible?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
Uninstall ur drivers and reinstall them. Also u may have to do a factory reset. But try the drivers first.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSMI:
The drivers you are given for odin? Or something else?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
No...www.samsung.com/support. Click on sprint, then d700, then software, and all the way to the right is a little file folder...click on it...that will download the drivers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSMI:
Ya. I tried that and it didn't work. By factory reset do you mean flash back to stock? I could get odin to work either and I'm on MTD.

Its weird because at times it seems like its the software when at other times it seems like its the hardware. I'm pretty sure its the phone side but I could be wrong. It still charges fine through USB.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
ohhh...your on MTD... i'm seeing that, that is such a headache to deal with. well i have no knowledge of that yet, sorry.

The Carbon fiber backing is decent, but the screen protector is garbage. One of the corners looks like it was hand cut, and the whole thing doesn't fit properly. If the protector is aligned properly to the camera and light sensor, the whole thing is shifted too far to the left, leaving about 5mm uncovered on the right, and the protector hanging over the left side of the tablet. :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
really? you can't even tell that mine has the skinomi screen protector installed. There's a 1mm gap on left and .5mm gap on right side. Bottom and top are almost perfect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Email them a picture they will mail you another on free of charge! Actually they will without the picture but the picture will help them to correct the issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Could you post some pictures of the carbon fiber?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kerryking1:
I sent email to them about a dock carbon fiber skin and they should have one in a week or two
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xAnimal5:
I will never buy another Skinomi screen protector, they're like memory foam... every time you touch the screen even lightly, it leaves a permanent imprint. They're terrible...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
I just got mine, and for the most part it looks great. The corner pieces, however, weren't angled quite right so they ended up being wrinkled. I sent them an email to see if they can send me out some replacements. The cover still has a bunch of bubbles in it, but I know that takes a couple days to fully work out. I have one on my OG Transformer and it looks great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cyi1:
you're supposed to install the corners with a blow dryer or heat gun. It's the only way to make it fit perfectly or else you have wrinkles. It's in the instructions video
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
Tried that, no dice. I'm missing pieces anyways. Hopefully they'll send out new ones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tensai_x:
Just installed mines. Not happy with it. Carbon fiber skin was already loose when I received the package. As others mentioned before, some areas are not cut out properly. Definitely not worth the money.

Going to wait a few more days to see how the screen protector holds up but not going to expect much.

It fits with the dock but I am not sure how much can the carbon fiber skin can take.

Hope SGP have something soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Again they have the best customer service and will send you more until you are satisfied!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Installed the carbon fiber skin and tech skin screen protector today. I't came out OK....

The Carbon fiber main piece on the back cover went on *slightly* skewed- did not notice until I put the trimmings on, and once the skin had stuck onto the metal backing, I was not gonna try and peel it back off- the adhesive is rather tough once it sticks onto the backplate. I used a hair Dryer on hot setting to soften the skin on the corners- they melted like jello and fit into the corners perfectly.

All, and all I am pretty satisfied with how it turned out... other than the slight skew all is well.

As for the screen protector, I drenched both sides with the solution and it went down like butter. No micro bubbles and it is only 1 hour after the install... there is still some solution underneath the skin, but I think it will clear up over a day or so. The alignment of the skin and the cutouts for the camera lined up without issue.

There is also what looks like a hairline scratch on the skin from when using the squeegee to remove the bubbles. You can see it when you look on an angle-

The website says the skin is self healing... Does anyone know if this will go away??

Edit: after some time I now see air bubbles and some streaks under the screen protector- It's not looking good at all- I hope all this will go away like they say within 3 days or I may have to remove it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mazjohn:
Update

Ok, I just wanted to update the above post for others that are considering the Skinomi- 2 days later, it is better, but some imperfections remain.

Be patient... It will look really bad at first, and i hope screen will completely clear up over time. I kept mine turned off for 6 hours after applying. Good Luck to others!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
I bought the dry screen protector and skin. Only installed the screen protector so far. It was hard to get just right because you don't get the sliding motion you get with wet. But I started at the top right corner, then laided enough to go to the bottom right, then peeled wax paper to lay across the screen. I was scared at first because I had a lot of bubbles. I use the card to get most of the bubbles out I could then said F It. Been one day so far and most (90%) of the bubbles are gone! I'm impressed. I see 2 spots where lint got under the screen but they are on the bezel. Camera and light sensor hole lined-up OK (a little off-centered to the left of hole but not obstructed by the protector at all.) Oh it's not a fingerprint magnet. May have them send ma another to try again.

Will try skin tonight

i personally love the carbon skin on mines. im actually surprised at how well the front clear protection looks. i can barely tell it is there. my only complaint of course is the two front camera holes.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kls629:
i thought i was the only one whom didnt like the screen protector.

but i hated the screen protector as so many bubbles never went away and you can feel the screen protector. (i did wait 3 days and only 5% of the bubbles went away)

the carbon cover does look good though, but the corners never stuck and are wrinkled. but they dont bother me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
Haha I didn't even know I did that thanks for pointing that out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
I literally used the entire bottle of spray solution on the front screen protector before I applied it while it took me an hour lol or so to shimmy out the liquid solution bubbles and air pockets. Bubbles disappeared the next two days. I applied light heat gun usage over the corners as they melted in to place. PITA to do though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b0nza1:
Maybe a pain but the only way to do it. I have done a few window tint jobs and the way to make it look good is wet the crap out of it then squeeeegie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halljo:
hallo guys ,

Carbon Fiber Skin of looks good and fits, but the screen protector does not fit at all ^ ^ I've sent an email Skinomi, I'm curious to what they say ^ ^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Misera:
How many times do you guys think they'll replace? The first time I asked them to replace it was b/c the gloss looked like it was splattered or dripped on the screen protector.. so there were streaks of unglossy and streaks of not. The back also looked horrible. I just got the clear b/c I liked the swirl. Emailed them pictures and had them send me the black carbon fiber set instead.

It arrived Friday and I applied it.. except even with hair dryer the corners would not conform at all. I ended up cutting the corners into pieces and fitting it together like jigsaw puzzles. Some corners have 3 pieces, some 4.. I'm wondering if they gave me an old version or something b/c the pieces don't fit nearly as well as all of your pictures. Each of the edge pieces are very short so there's gaps while the pictures posted look like they almost go up to the headphone jack/dock port etc.

What I'm most concerned about is the screen protector. The gloss is perfectly find this time but the adhesive is the problem now. It's been 3 days and none of the adhesive billions of patches are going away. Besides that, off the center of the screen there's something white. I tried removing the whole protector and picking at the spot but there's nothing there.. I even tried soaking the protector in warm water with a tiny bit of soap to see. Reapplied and it's still there. Think they'll send another replacement? :( I've had Zaggskins, Best Skins Ever, Xtremeskins etc on different devices.. so its definitely not my first time applying these things. I've installed them on a bunch of friends' devices too. I just can't figure out whats going on with Skinomi's.

Pictures are 1. Gloss so messed up. 2. Corners example.. took it before I did more fitting. It's like it wasn't even cut right I think b/c even if it was flat it wouldve been too curved. 3. Current screen protector with messed up adhesive and white dot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halljo:
sorry for the bad pics ^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] al mon:
I have the same exact alignment issues with the ZAGG screen protector. Overall, I'm not a fan of the "wet" application protectors. Not durable, creases with a finger nail.

The holes in my ZAGG were mis-aligned by about 2mm. The camera just bearly fits through the hole.

I really didn't care at the end because I never use the camera..... Too ugly.:eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] radici:
can anyone send me a template for the dock compatible skinomi screen protector so I can cut out my non-compatible one?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] originalnabisco:
Dock's Skin and Screen Protector Incompatible

I purchased from the Skinomi website the:

Asus Transformer Prime (Keyboard Dock & Tablet Combo) Carbon Fiber Skin Protector

I at first only applied the skin to the tablet and dock and it went on great, and looked great! No problems applying, no problems docking, and no problems closing the tablet/dock.

I applied the screen protector (wet-apply) later and there were numerous issues with the screen protector. But besides those issues the main issue I am having is that the dock's skin pushes into the screen protector when the tablet/dock is closed, leaving a very noticeable imprint (especially noticeable when the screen displays white). This mark goes away after a couple hours (thankfully!) but I don't think it is supposed to even leave such an imprint! I am also worried about a permanent imprint happening.

I was wondering if anybody else who has applied this combination of skin + screen protector has this same issue? I have been putting one of those cloth keyboard/screen protector things in between the tablet and dock to prevent this from happening, but I recently noticed after leaving the tablet/dock closed with the cloth protector inside for an entire day, that it left a very noticeable but different mark as well (I am still waiting for it to go away).

Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
Yea....... I noticed that too. How the he'll am I gonna close my docked tablet without it peeling one of the protectors off (or certainly loosening it or deformity over time) and as you mentioned..... I wonder what I can place between the two that won't leave a comment imprint. I think was thinking maybe one of the empty sheets from the Skinomi application, or the thin sheet that I my my case came wrapped in (I think our Primes were wrapped in a similar sheet?)

They have a a 30 days "no questions asked" return policy, so I'm guessing as long as you're with that window, all you pay is shipping.

But you have legit concerns, send them the pics, see what they say
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckfart:
I only put on the main back cover, the edges did not stick very well even with a dryer. The screen protector sucks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
glad i didnt find this thread till after i put tablet dock kit on. it looks awesom and you cant even tell their is a screen protector on it bnut i took my sweet a## time putting this thing together. everyone that has seen it loves it including me. as for the corners, you have to do them last. leave them sticking up till you are done with that piece then hit it with the blow dryer. heat the top and under the edge and it will stick, as long as you cleaned it before hand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Misera:
They sent me a new screen protector and it's definitely from a different batch. Even the ends of the tube are a different color. This one fits perfectly without needing to stretch it with a blow dryer. After a few weeks of letting it dry it's 500x better than the last 2 they sent but it still has some odd marks like micro micro bubbles in 2 places that never went away. Guess the adhesive just isn't the best in these things. The marks from the squeegee are still there too. Not scratches, just indentions. I used 2 layers of cloths around the card so that it wouldn't scratch as those do scratch the surface. Satisfied though! They made no effort in fixing the issues with the corners for the edge pieces but they probably thought my puzzle piecing was good enough. I blasted that crap with my hairdryer and it never melted into place or even got soft like other people's in this thread. Oh well!

I'm finally going to pick up my dock at BB today.. this will be my 3rd try getting it from BB. Last one they couldn't find it anywhere in the pick up area or in the store. Apparently sold it to someone else even though I called and told them exactly when I'd be flying into town. The previous one I didn't order but it said Available Now for pickup on that day at another store in another town but the tech guy told me I was wrong and it was only available for order. Third time may be the charm.. 3rd city, 3rd BB. I'll post about the dock skin installation after if I get the dock today!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] originalnabisco:
Thanks for the info :D I contacted Skinomi about my issues with the dock + screen protector and they sent me a new one for free. They didn't really address the issues I mentioned so I was a little disappointed, but after hearing that the one they sent you seems to be from a different batch, my hopes are up again!

I installed Icecream Sunday Final (very nice rom btw), but the phone lags often. For example, when I unlock it, it can be frustratingly long to be able to launch any applications right away. There is always at least 100mb of ram free, so I am not sure what causes this.

Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened to any other ICS users?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eniac77:
Are you using an OC Kernel?

If so, I read around here on the forums that you should increase your minimum CPU speed a bit and that should clear up the lag when unlocking the phone. Haven't tried it myself since I am running theMyth - ICS Lite, but am going to go back to Cyanogenmod (once of the things that peeved me on Cyanogen was exactly this; lag after unlock).

Hope this helps
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] l'irlandais:
hi you have to flash a kernel (you ll find all the information needed in the ic sunday topic)

i did do that and its far better
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] GerasVille:
Either you set your min. frequenzy to 245Mhz or just use smartass gov. @ 122Mhz. I prefer smartass @ 122Mhz and there no lag.

PS: I´m using the same rom but with SlaidFastMod V2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] franzks:
I'm having wake-up lag too! But I already gave up thinking that the SGA's CPU just sucks. Thanks for this info GerasVille, I did not think to tinker with the System settings of CyanoGen because of the "Dragons Ahead" prompt. I will try this smartass setting to see if the wake-up lag will be removed. It sucks when I have to send an emergency SMS and my phone is lagging like hell.

Anyway so let me get this straight. Does having the minimum CPU clocked at 122mhz mean that if the device is inactive, it dynamically clocks down the CPU to 122mhz to save battery? Hence the wake-up lag is caused by the CPU being clocked back up?

I'm also gonna try out slaidfastmod to see if it makes it even better.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
You can put up with the lag and save a tiny bit of battery life, or speed up the CPU and lose some battery life. Whichever you feel is more useful. Personally I don't mind the small unlock delay. Happens on most phones low powered anyway.
