I was reading today and I guess it's the standard to have a slot cut out for the camera. I still don't understand it though. It's covered by glass. If you get a scratch on it the it'll be useless. That's much worse than a fingerprint that can be cleaned off.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Yeah actually now that i think about it you're right, if i got a scratch over the camera(s) than it could possibly be noticeable and interfere with whatever it is Im doing.

But if its just a finger print, just wipe l it away and bam its gone.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Yeah, I still have my scratched up protector on til I figure out what I want to do. The Realook is a 2 pk, but I immediately took the first one off cause some dust got under it.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
So far ive had the phone for 2 days, i would have a case and screen protector for it but it got shipped a whole week earlier than i was told and so i am not prepared. I just have the factory screen protector on for now.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I don't carry my new phones without a protector. Like 4 phones in a row now.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
If anything you should make a review Lool, and 1 tip for applying next time would be to do it in the bathroom after having the shower on for 5 mins.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
@DesElms Does the Nu Clear protector cover the front camera and proxy sensor?
[LG Nitro HD] malox23:
applied the film with no problem. length is right on, but slightly too narrow as many have mentioned. all edges stayed down. got the bodyglove case as well, seems like a good combo.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
On my iPod torch I've had screen protectors that have peeled because of cases if anything in glad that its a bit narrow
[LG Nitro HD] sdotagain:
I have this same combo. works well so far...I did complain to Realook about the slight narrowness and they sent me a replacement set. I won't bother swapping them since I see basically everyone is reporting the same issue. But now I have a whole new set! This works for pretty much any screen protector company by the way. Complain about the fit, they send you a new set for free. I've done this for my Touchpad (Skinnomi) and my GF's Galaxy Note. (Rearth Ringbo):D
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
my real look ...scratched up so easily...put anpther one on...same thing...scratches easily sucks but ohh well
[LG Nitro HD] sdotagain:
Are you keeping your phone in the same pocket as your keys or something? Maybe try something more scratch resistant like the zagg type. Cant scratch those lol.
[LG Nitro HD] mgoblueno1:
Invisible Shield

I have the Zagg Invisible shield screen protector and it works great for anyone who is wondering.
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
is it super clear though? like the reallook
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
You know how the realook says its scratch proof? Geuss who just got a viSible sCratch on it? -.-
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Call them and ask for a replacement. I've never dealt with them, but I hear this alot with screen protector companies. Hopefully they are as good with customer support.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Yeah true,i could do that.however,id rather just spend a bit more and get ghost armor. Also,i have another protector still.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I got a Realook, and the ****ing thing is sticky to your fingers, doesnt let you slide gracefully.

Also, the front of it is a lint and dust MAGNET, and as a result my phone looks like a piece of **** now.

Would NOT recommend to anyone.
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Yeah, I went and got ghost armor, would highly recommend.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycr:
I just got the transformer this week and noticed today that my task manager only shows 728mb of available memory. Shouldn't there be 1024mb available? Is some of it dedicated to the OS or something?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txtmikhail:
yes we do have 1024mb and yes some its towards the os.. you will Never get the full available space of anything...

Example: 16gb card will only get to use 14.9gb of available space..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaoticWeaponry:
256 meg for dedicated graphics.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycr:
Thanks for the replies. I figured that was the case but I guess I was surprised by how much of the memory was dedicated. It seems like I have more memory available on my evo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_76:
Your evo is'nt pushing 1280x800 pixels, though, so it probably does have more RAM available. Unix-like systems also cache a lot of things to try and make the best use of RAM. On a good Linux system there should only be enough free and unused RAM to launch a new process. You want your system to make use of all the RAM it has.

Hi I have just heard back from insurance company to say that they don't have my desire hd in stock and I have to agree on a cash settlement instead. After some negotiation we have agreed on 280. I have got four phones in mind and just wanted to know if anyone on here can advise the pros and cons of each one in order to help me choose. Phones are as follows:

Sony Ericsson Xperia play.

Lg Optimus 2x

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s

Or my desire hd again.

Both the play and the arc s I have found really good deals for. Main thing I'm looking at is overall performance and ability to root and run custom rooms.

Any info would be great

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] mike21pr:
the Arc S is a damn sexy phone. Id go with that if u can get a good deal for it.

But the Optimus 2x has a Tegra 2 dual core processor and good dev support as well. Both will get official ICS also.
[General Questions and Answers] rhodri11:
yeah cheers just had a look at the arc s now, and it is very nice! that being said the optimus is very similar in terms of performance and price. trying to find a phone similar to them both that has slightly more memory and can be rooted
[General Questions and Answers] aaki_rocker:
galaxy r would be a good choice if u are willing to sacrifice full hd recording and 3mp less cam !!

lg optimus2x would be the best choice for cheapest as the price:performance ratio for optimus is quite high !!

+ the optimus 2x would be getting official ics in march !!

and many custom roms are also available !!

but i would like to ask !

dont you have any other options other than four of these ?!

:) !
[General Questions and Answers] rhodri11:
haha, yeah, there are other phones out there. Ive narrowed down what i think are the best phone for under £250. really tempted to increase the budget and go for galaxy s2 now..
[General Questions and Answers] azunic:
For me Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s is too big and galaxy is better choice...
[General Questions and Answers] copyname:
Maybe is so big, but still for me Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s is better option. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] deven316:
The Arc looks so friggin' sweet.. can't go wrong with that one, I wish they'd bring it to Sprint.
[General Questions and Answers] BreetDaren:
Phone Advice

In my advice. You will go with Sony Ericsson Xperia arc. Much better than others in terms of features and reliability as well as the market worth also counts. Desire HD would be a good set but it will be less expensive too
[General Questions and Answers] LeChuck85:
I can highly recommend the Arc S - just make sure you use a custom rom and not the official Sony ICS!
[General Questions and Answers] DEFJAMVAN:
Get a nexus!!:p
[General Questions and Answers] amir-m89:
I think the only disadvantages of Desire HD is low battery capacity (1230 mah) , high weight (164 g) and low lcd brightness but larger Ram(HD:768 MB Arc:512MB) ROM(HD:1.5 GB Arc S:320 MB) and about cpu I heard that arc s has a same cpu speed as arc (1 Ghz) but overclocked (to 1.4 Ghz).
[General Questions and Answers] exynos:
You could probably find a bargain on eBay or Craigslist for a cheaper Galaxy S2. I bought a Sprint Galaxy Nexus off of Craigslist for $160 / £100 (I believe that is the price in GBP, not sure.)

[General Questions and Answers] Shimito01:

[General Questions and Answers] nunoacruz:
Arc S is the most sexy but Lg Optimus 2x is beter more internal storage and dual core cpu... I've got an Arc S but now I would buy Lg if they have the same price :)
[General Questions and Answers] notebooko:

No service means no RIL, but i guess once we get working RIL we will have bootable ICS to put it in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Implying that we will actually get the complete source from Samsung.

Nevertheless, it's good to see we finally have it booting.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
RIL seems to be the ticket to a lot of things. Cm9, ics, miui,aosp and on and on. Doubt sammy will release an updated source.
[Verizon Droid Charge] glsteve:
I just wish they would just release the damn thing already I've at least noticed that if the phone has more development the better it sells so I think in a way they are losing money but that's just my opinion.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:

A couple of people and I were discussing on IRC last night if this was photoshopped or not.

There seem to be three parts with this picture:

1. The background. Seems too dark from the reflections on the screen.

2. A hand holding a blank Charge. The hand seems oddly feminine and the bottom seems a bit choppy. Also, the FFC doesn't seem perfectly round.

3. ICS screenshot - could be from GNexus. The clock seems slightly stretched.

I really hope this isn't shooped, but it has potential to be. We need input from JT.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Question is,why would JT post a 'shopped pic?
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:
Doesn't make sense for a Dev to post a photo shopped pic. Why bother?
[Verizon Droid Charge] glsteve:
jt just posted this on his twitter Found the *correct* way to fix the EP4 kernel source http://pastebin.com/sSaRQtkh ; JESUS CHRIST Samsung....
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Must be because I don't understand it, but I don't see a difference between the top and bottom portions.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
That's because there's not one. It's just what you need to add/change to the source to make it work!

Pastebin has raw data input that can be formatted. The original input is the raw data, and the top part you see is the "pretty print" version.

Woohoo!
[Verizon Droid Charge] glsteve:

[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
For those that don't know jt is an AOSP beast! He single handedly brought all of the AOSP goodness to the Fascinate. CM7, CM9, ICS, MIUI, etc. wouldn't be possible on the Fascinate if it wasn't for him. If anybody can do the same for the Charge it's jt. Just don't bug him and let him work at his pace.

TSM = Best touchwiz-based roms for Fascinate

jt1134 = AOSP godfather for Fascinate

Nobody should question his dev cred. Have faith but most of all have patience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] emtee_skull:
Does this mean jt and imnuts can compile it properly to get it to work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] glsteve:
Yes it does

Yup Imnuts already posted a kernel built from EP4 source on twitter.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AdamWill:
Does anyone know where to source such a beast?

In case it's not clear, what I want is a cable with a 3.5mm jack on one end - which you plug into the phone - and a 3.5mm socket on the other end - into which you plug your own headphones. In the middle, a mic, call answer button, and music control buttons.

I would've thought such a thing would be trivial to find, but it's not. For me, anyway. No matter what I put into eBay I can't find one that says it'll work for Android / our phone - I can find ones for the iPhone, but I don't know if they'd work on the Doubleshot / Android.

Anyone? thanks! I do *not* want a full headset with its own earphones - I have much better ones of my own I want to use.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lavenderpup:
You could try searching up an aux cable + mic for cars (eg. that Griffin one)

and combine it with a 3.5mm stereo female to female adapter
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AdamWill:
I guess that would work...it'd be nice to have something a bit less cumbersome, though. Thanks for the idea though!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The video cable I use for tv-out is an iPod video cable - if that helps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AdamWill:
thanks, blue - the thing I'm worried about is the music controls; I don't think Android and iPhone use the same system for those. Note that Klipsch make two different versions of their s4 headset, one for iPhone and one for Android - if both used the same controls then presumably there'd be no reason to do that...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] elister:
I would take a lok at the Motorola S805, its a big earmuff dj style bluetooth that has playback controls on it.

Via bluetooth I can confirm it can play, pause, volume, next track and previous track controls. It also has a 3.5mm stereo jack in case you dont want to deal with bluetooh, but I dont actually have a 3.5mm cable to test it out on.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
That's probably good thinking - i'll confess I have no clue how iOS handles anything. If you find out for sure one way or the other please let us know back here.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AdamWill:
Elister: yeah, bt is one obvious option - I actually have a bt adapter, and bt music controls are standardized (it's one of the official bt profiles) so you can more or less rely on them working. But the drawbacks are that bt audio reduces quality somewhat, bt link is never as reliable as a cable, and you have extra battery drain on the phone and the bt adapter's battery to charge...just more fiddling around :/
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
I used Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP 2.0. Everything seemed to work fine, I got to the reboot screen and I pressed the reboot button like it told me to. It then took me to this triangle with a fire symbol in it. It says "press power button for recovery". I press the power button, nothing happens except my KF turns off, but I have to hold the button in for a while for it to turn off.

How do I get out of this problem, I thought everything went fine.

btw, I followed this guide: http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-recovery-on-kindle-fire-video/

I know the that server is down so I just renamed the twrp download to twrp.img and it installed fine.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Are you trying to boot into TWRP or to the OS?

if you are trying to boot into TWRP... when the Triangle first pops up, press and release the power button a few times until it turns orange. When it turns orange, it will then autoboot into TWRP.

If you are trying to boot into the OS, you should just leave it alone and it will boot automatically into the OS unless you have not setup the boot mode properly.
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
I can't boot into either. I try pressing the power button but nothing happens. I'll hold it in for a few secs and repeat, nothing. If I hold it for a good bit it just shuts off. Soon as I plug my usb cable in the triangle comes up again but it doesnt do anything. adb doesnt work anymore now, so that unbrick utility wont work.

I remember it saying "activating 4000" or something and it going to crap after that. no clue how to get out of this yellow fire screen.
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
Do you have fastboot? While at the triangle, try:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
nope it just sits at "waiting for device"

help :(
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
Unplug your Fire from USB, turn it off (hold the power button ~30 sec), run the first fastboot command above, then plug it in. If the first command completes, do the second.

If the commands work but you get stuck at the triangle again, go grab the TWRP installer, unplug & power it off, run:

fastboot boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

power it back up. That'll reinstall TWRP.

fastboot
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
nothing. looks like im bricked.

i unplugged, typed the first command in "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000" and then plugged my device in. it powered on into the trianlgle, made a beep on my pc, still says "waiting for device" though.
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
You're not bricked. The problem is that you don't have the correct drivers installed. I am willing to bet that in device manager the kindle is showing up as "Unknown Device". Where did you get the drivers from?

Unfortunately there is no good way to remove the bad drivers in your current state. You have three options. If you have another, unmodified Kindle you can plug that into your computer, go into device manager and remove the Kindle drivers by right clicking Kindle, selecting remove and checking the box that says "Delete the driver software for this device". Then install the correct drivers using the Kindle Fire Utility.

If you don't have another kindle fire around you can use another computer (this i s what I had to do). Make sure you get ADB and the correct drivers from the Kindle Utility. Plug in the kindle and make sure it shows up in Device manager. Then run fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 to get back up and running.

If you have neither a unmodified kindle or another computer you can wait until the batt drains and restart the kindle That should work for you as well.

I went through all this as well because I followed an outdated guide to get my ADB drivers working. The problem is that the guide I followed only installed the "production" drivers and not the recovery driver so once my kindle rebooted into recovery mode Windows had no idea what it was and showed up as "Unknown Device". MS in their infinite wisdom doesn't allow you to remove the unknown device and related drivers now will they allow you to re install the correct drivers over it.

Just keep cool, you are not bricked by any means. Hope this helps.
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
I installed drivers from here a while back. I did try to install drivers from Kindle Fire Utility, b/c I was trying to use the Unbrick utility from XDA.

I have my KF powered on, I'm in the triangle screen, here is what device manager says.

I have a laptop I can use, what do I need to do, I'm kind of confused, my apologizes.
[Kindle Fire General] pokey9000:
You can always say "F Windows" and run fastboot this way...
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
What device IDs do you have in %userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini? I have both 0x1949

& 0x18D1. I found that I had to have both in order for the driver to work in that mode. Of course you need the correct code in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf.

My android_winusb.inf looks like this:

[Google.NTx86]

;Kindle Fire

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100&MI_01

[Google.NTamd64]

;Kindle Fire

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100&MI_01

You will have to uninstall and reinstall the driver if you make these changes.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

This is also another good way to recover. The main problem I see on these forums is with the Windows driver. If you don't do it exactly right it will throw you into this mess.
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
when i do a search in windows and type this "%userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini". this is what i get:

when i go into "C:\Android\extras\google\usb_driver" and then open "android_winusb.inf" it shows me this:

how do i properly reinstall the divers and is it def going to fix my problem? can i do this on the same computer or do i need to do this on my laptop?

ok say i follow these directions and i get it to install on my usb drive. how to i fix my KF? once i get liveusb on my usb drive can you tell me what commands to type or what i need to do after the usb stick is created? i'm pretty new to all this.
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
Add 0x18D1 to adb_usb.ini and

%SingleAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100

%CompositeAdbInterface%	= USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0100&MI_01

to the android_winusb.inf and reinstall the driver

edit: now it says "android adb interface" again.

i typed in this:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

and now my KF is started again. is my KF safe to turn off now or do i need to reinstall TWRP?
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
Hey Congrats! Yes, you should be good to go through the process again. This time Windows will recognize your device and all will be good.

Run the KFU again to install TWRP
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
Thank you for your help, can't thank you enough. Should I just use KindleFireUtility to install TWRP again?
[Kindle Fire General] SirVilhelm:
Yes, KindleFireUtility is the easiest way to get that installed (now that the drivers is good :))
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
nevermind. thx again.
