Yes it has Gorilla glass. Still best to add a screen protector for extra piece of mind though. I know some people are anti screen protector but its so cheap now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
LMAO! :D hope not :eek:, let's lot jinx it :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
I didnt have a screen protector for first week, and it got scratched a lil -.- i had it in my pocket alone with nothing with it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
Gorilla glass might be resilient

but they are not really anti scratch

they are just harder to crack, but by no means invincible

even if you applied the Zagg indestructible screen protector

it will prevent the screen from shattering to pieces, but it will still crack if the hit is hard enough
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sunsean:
Thanks - the reason I ask is because while the SG2 int'l version and att/sprint versions have Gorilla Glass, there was a lot of confusion as to whether the TMO version does as well. I found some discussion on it, but no conclusive answer. And TMO doesn't say it on the site (I don't think) and it doesn't say it in the paperwork with the phone...but I believe you :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
from what i understand they replace the smaller sodium ions with potassium in glass, what this does is that the potassium takes up more space and it produces a compressive stress on the glass, so there are less "imperfections" and therefore making it more scratch resistant/harder to crack

what's amazing to me is that peopel are saying their iphone is made of gorilla glass..yet their smaller form factor phone cracks a lot more easily than ours(and aluminium has nothing to do with this, aluminium is fairly soft itself..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
My other smartphone with no gorilla glass has no scratches and i basically play soccer with it lol (Optimus V)

by playing soccer i mean i shoot it like soccer (football)

I doubt it has gorilla glass, i never actually tried gorilla glass but my older iphone never got scratched on the screen even tho i have alot of metals in my pocket. This one scratched when i had it alone in my jeans pocket -.-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wannagofast:
Haha.

That's one resilient phone you have AllGamer. And ya, next time is 3rd strike...how many more times can that phone possibly cheat death.

heck even diamonds will shatter if you hit em right, or rather, wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
That video was painful to watch. Do you have a case for it? First thing I have done for both of my phones is buy gel cases. Honestly I love the original feel but I can't stand that fear of what you went through. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Ditto. I was gonna leave my phone naked but the fear of this happening to mine made me get over of the d3o cases. I'm still debating on whether or not I should get a screen protector. I really like the coefficient of friction on the glass and I knew that by applying a protector that would go away specially with the zagg invisishield which almost feels rubbery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I plan on keeping both the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus bare screen. I have heard too much negativity regarding screen protectors. Does the Galaxy S2 have an oleophobic screen coating too? I can't pick out a major difference in feel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Yes it has gorilla glass! Info found here:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
iphone does NOT have gorilla glass. they use a cheap knock off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Supposedly the iPhone 4 uses helicopter glass. No joke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
If it did, it wouldn't shatter like that from a drop. Throw it at a wall, it'll go BOOM and turn into dust. Throw a SGS II at a wall, and you'll be paying for drywall repairs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I think people forget glass is glass unless it's bullet proof. It will still break from normal drops. The reason iphone breaks so easily is that it's heavier than galaxy s2 so more force carrying it down to the ground.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
that's stupid talk right there

the sgs2 weights 5grams less than iphone..(140g vs 135)

not to mention sgs2 has a larger construction, so its easier to break the glass...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Overall, end this thread.. Sucks to be you. There, its out in the open. Theres so many of this topic..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You do realize that any added weight makes things hit the ground much harder. It's been proven by various test. Larger construction does not mean anything when certain plastic materials are harder than glass.

Let me add that the iphone is a smaller device as well so impact to the ground would be much more damaging then the galaxy s2. Impact to the galaxy s2 assuming the same variables would less damaging since the spread of impact has a broader range to go through.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sunsean:
This. Less weight over greater area will both strike with less force, and absorb the impact more efficiently. While the SG2 is not by any means indestructible, it will always come out on top vs an iphone with equal drop parameters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
I honestly didn't use an iphone for long, but my ipod survived all drops, shoulder height etc.

GORILLA GLASS is not a phone guardian. Well, actually, it can be looked upon as one. Everyone that has GORILLA GLASS has like a super phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Wow. You do realize that: 1) The OP is a Mod, right? 2) This thread is hurting nobody. If you don't like it then don't read it. I just don't get how difficult that is. I think disrespecting a Mod should be a criminal offense (okay, not literally) on this forum. I think more policing is what's needed to make this place right again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Double post. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
If it's a 3rd gen, then those are known to withstand some epic damage, which I give Apple props for.

Fact is, with Samsung's plastic construction, and gorilla glass screen, it's not easy at ALL to break the phone, I mean, I've seen people take hammers to the gorilla glass screen on youtube, and it cracked after the 7th hit, which means you'd need to drop it off like a 5 story building for it to break.

When i install any of 8107 roms and set Polish Language i can't access telephone tile(in my language - "Telefon") - so i can't make phone calls.

Second problem - I can't access cellular settings.

But when i change language of WP7 to English i can acces both of them.

Is there any solution to access Telephone and Cellular Settings in Polish Language?

Sorry for my bad English - i hope you understand my problem.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Spaqin:
There aren't polish language cabs for 8107 yet, sorry. If you use Back to the Future, you can wait a bit until they are released, but for other roms I think you will have to wait a bit and reinstall entire OS.

Sorry to sound silly and ask dumb questions

I backed my 7740 to cab sender, I then loaded the new 8107 update and then sp1. I only loaded the usa language pack. Cab went through fine. I lost all photos on phone and then could not turn cellular data on/off. If I was to load all languages would my cellular switch return? I prefer using me wifi at home at work rather then using my data pack.

My next question is how can I get touch experience to work on 8107 as this failed to work on the phone also. I like having htc hub live tile but not fussed if I lose it to gain touch experiene, compass etc
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pakure:
Try sending all languages cabs and not only your preferred language.

Also, install old HTC drivers for touch experience and old paps to work.. The new HTC hub and compass works well with new drivers in sp1 by xbmod

So i just got another HD2. I want to mess with it to use as a spare phone later. But I want to install Hyperdroid which is a NAND rom i guess? Right now I have Dualboot running WP7 and Cyanogenmod 7 off SD. How do I use clockwork recovery and what not?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Maxp101:
Just use this tutorial, it should clarify most things.

although you will have to repartition your sd card to get rid of the WP7 partition.

Also you might want to consider use a real man's rom like Dorimanx' Rom

Hyperdroid is outdated and boring, try dorimanx' rom and you will be blown away.

For an easy installation you might want to use the light rom.

I suggest following the whole CLK tutorial, making an ext4 partition on your sd-card, choose 150mb as a system partition, and then download the 3.0.6 ROM and just flash it in CWM with the following choises in the yes/no menu:

1 - no 2-way rec

2 - CLK

3 - stock anmations

4 - stock skin (if you like it how it's in hyperdroid)

5 - Revert to Light rom

6 - choose 192 DPI (again this is personal)

7 - yes for fast dormancy

8 - yes enable Boot Boost

9 - No for cron module

10 - Yes to enable Data to Ext Mod (if you made the ext4 partition on your sd-card, otherwise choose no here)

11 - yes for roboto font

12 - Yes for Hacked Market

13 - Yes for ILWI_OC_Daemon

14 - No for Odex

If i missed something or you have any questions feel free to ask
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] goleli:
I did try several Rom's including Dorimanx' Rom. Some of them were very unstable. Dorimanx is not bad although I can only advise you one and its is Hyperdroid Rom. I have more than 50 apps installed and it is still stable, fast and battery consumption is excellent.

For installation just read the tutorials posted in the belonging Rom thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
i also highly recommend HYPERDROID if you want a flawless, stable, and FAST rom!

REAL men want stability and dont mess with all the fancy bells and whistles :-P i kid ... but seriously ...

[General Questions and Answers] arciphera:
greetings, all.

I am using Windows Mobile 6.1, and I like it a lot for the most part, but I'm not too happy with how Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) automatically closes whenever I switch to other applications and leave it in the background for a few minutes. it's not that PIE is crashing or malfunctioning; it simply quits/exits completely on its own if I don't consistently keep it on top of all other apps. this is a bit of an inconvenience for me (to understate it), as I will lose whatever webpage I'm working on if I switch to any other apps for even a short while. no other apps on my phone ever seem to close unless I manually tell them to (whether via the Exit option in their menus or by ending them via Task Manager), even if I leave them in the background for hours on end. it's like PIE gets impatient after ten minutes or so and says "you forgot about me again, huh? fine, I'll just go away then. bye." and then I have to reload it and browse back to where I was before, oftentimes losing data I've typed into, and always losing my place on, the webpage in question.

is there any way to disable PIE's auto-close function so that it remains open/running indefinitely in the background like all the other apps on my phone?

I've already spent hours scouring the internet (including perusing every single post about PIE in these forums) for the answer to this issue, but there doesn't seem to be so much as even a mention anywhere of this particular behavior of PIE's, much less a way to adjust/disable it.

thanks in advance for any solutions/suggestions!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
hello lads of xda :)

i've decided that it was necessary for a battery mod collection thread because quite a few are scattered throughout several different forums and threads. my hope is to make a one stop place for them all to be found and used. this will be a work in progress while i collect them.

*note

none of the zips contained within this thread are flashable. to install, you must pull your own SystemUI.apk from your current ROM and place the images within res\drawable-xhdpi\. if you are unable to do this, upon request, i may be willing to make a flashable for you specifically if you attach your current SystemUI.apk. your provided SystemUI.apk must already support battery percentage increments of 0-100. i am unable to decompile and add that in for you because i would have no way of testing to make sure it works correctly (i can't load everyone's different ROM just to test one apk, this would be too time consuming).

also, please keep in mind that all previews are at full res. in other words, images *should* appear sharper on your phone.

YOU CAN HELP, TOO!

you can help this thread grow and be more productive by pointing me to battery mods i may have missed. just PM me a link or post it here and i'll take care of the rest ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maerki:
Right. The first one (stock-style) for IML74K Base. I flashed the one from his thread but than I lost my notification bar and the softkeys :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
haha not sure why that happened but possibly because the SystemUI.apk you're currently running doesn't support 0-100 battery images.

edit: doniqcc might make one for you if you ask nicely. i could make it, but i couldn't guarantee it would work, since i'm not running that ROM.

to other forum members, please make sure the ROM you are running supports battery percentage increments of 0-100.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilkal:
It doesn't necessarily have to support 0-100 you just need to make sure the existing image names line up with the ones you're putting in there heh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
it does if you're wanting images 0-100 to show up. the SystemUI.apk calls these images in via xml. if the xml only supports 0,15,28,43,57,71,85,100 (a stock SystemUI.apk), and you throw images in that go from 0-100, that SystemUI.apk is still only going to call in those 8 numbers, skipping over the other images. for example, when your battery is at 50%, it's going to show an image in reference to 57. so a battery sitting at 50% but displaying an image that says it's at 57% is inaccurate haha. hope that makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
alright, added a few more. there's still plenty for me to get to haha. expect another update tomorrow! thanks to those of you who have PM'd me with your own! i'll get them on here asap :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evilkal:
Yes I know. But I've lived with 10% battery increments on the DX for ages so I know how it is. Odd that they went with 71, 57 etc =\ Stupid increments but thats a lot less to deal with instead of 200 images xD

I will send you a copy of my new battery mod when I finish it tomorrow evening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
very odd indeed. i remember when i first opened up the ICS SystemUI.apk. i thought it was a mistake or something.

but yeah it would be okay for ones without numbers. otherwise, it would annoy me personally :p

awesome, looking forward to it!

edit: Lucid's updated from his thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Very nice mods! Thank you!

Oh, and keep'em coming please :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilPan:
How about a tutorial to edit the xml to change to 1 percent if the rom doesn't have it? Can anyone put something like this together?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
will do ;)

yes, if you know how to use APKTool or APK Manage (essentially the same). i could post the two source file xmls which call the images in, but it would be pointless if you don't know how to decompile/recompile apks correctly. it's not rocket science but i imagine it could be difficult for some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
