http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/lg-optimus-2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Is this worth the 15$?

@rukhi Did the protector downgrade the screen quality much?
[LG Optimus 2x] rukhi:
no it did not. since it was "soap" applied it was a bit smudgy for first 16 hours after that it cleared up. zagg on the other hand is better then xtreme guard. More authentic feel. i have one laying around somewhere, will put it on in a few days. Zagg provides better quality

im planning to get those clear back doors for p990 they look cool :p
[LG Optimus 2x] C0D3N1N3R:
Well I guess ill buy from zagg the. Clear back door?

Btw I am thinking of getting this case too it looks pretty cool!

[LG Optimus 2x] Dkzs:
Zagg didn't feel good at all for me.

Threw it away after a weak or so and bought non doap protector.

My advice, don't waste money on soap protectors.
[LG Optimus 2x] C0D3N1N3R:
What is a non-soap protector?

Sorry for being a noob.
[LG Optimus 2x] rukhi:
well, they are applied using soap water so that there are no dust particles or you don't smudge up the protector while application. while it does seem a little distorted for a couple of days but when it clears out its very clear in my opinion
[LG Optimus 2x] C0D3N1N3R:
So which ones are better soap or non soap? :?
[LG Optimus 2x] iJonas:
I just bought some random cheap screen protector..Works just fine..:b
[LG Optimus 2x] atkhobby:
I got one from Brando. More expensive than no-names of eBay but has proved to be really good. I've tried a number of soap products like zagg phantom and bse but it's not for me. Too much resistance when swiping and does not look as nice as the Brando.

I bought a pack and they have the camera hole cut out and the light sensor cutout the wrong way round!
[LG Optimus 2x] involver:
Well, to be honest I have been using the 2x without protector (neither screen, nor body itself) since it came out and it's screen is still scratch free. Just remember that it can't resist stuff like sand and keys, put it in your pocket without anything else and your good! Just my 2 cents

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamo Nath:
I'm running the latest version of BM's MIUI ROM but every launcher I've tried ends up running really sluggishly and/or restarts itself, especially when closing the app draw. Rebooting the phone doesn't seem to cure the problem and I have now tried the Go Launcher and the premium ADW launcher. The standard MIUI launcher also seems sluggish when scrolling through the home screen pages although not to the same extent. Anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions that I could try?

Pressing the home button deposits me on the blank home screen as the icons slowly reappear.

SOLVED.

Hi, this is my first post, so if this is not the right place to ask it, please move it to where it corresponds, and forgive me...

well the thing is, that i installed xdandroid (FRX07.1) on my topaz, using this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178546

and it works almost perfect (BT working, Wifi working, GPS sometimes doesnt work, but normally yes, etc...) except for the little detail that when there is an incoming phone call, the call screen appears (sometimes with a little delay, but no problem) and when i slide the pick up phonecall button to the right, to pick up the phone call, it seems like it has really picked up the phone call, but i cant hear anything, and on seconds 8-9 of the phone call, the phone shutdowns and reboots to windows mobile.

I have already updated to the latest kernels files, but the problem keeps appearing, i dont know what to do (im a noob, sorry for that), so if anyone could help me, or know what it could be happening, i would really appreciatte it.

thank you very much (and sorry for my english, im spaniard)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiveMe2Beers:
Hi everybody.

Got my brand new GS2 and I have this problem.

When I make a phone calls, after few second, the phone switch between 3G and 2G (and this is normal, all my phones do this).

What is not normal is that this switch between 3g and 2g causes a 1/1.5 second voice drop, so that I often miss the "hello" or the first words of the other person talking to me, and I always have to ask people to repeat what they've said. Very, very annoying if you receive 10-15 calls every day.

I've tested a Nokia N86, Nokia C3-01, a SonyEricsson, and all of them do the 3G/2G switch immediately after a make a call, but it's instantaneous and I don't miss a single word.

Tested other phones/sim card/areas and the GS2 seems to be the only phone that switch 3G to 2G so slow.

I've 2.3.4 (last available in my country) and Vodafone, and no other issue apart this though.

Any help please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiveMe2Beers:
nobody? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
From your network settings, set it to GSM only and see if it still happens. If it does it may not be related to the switch.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiveMe2Beers:
I've tried it. If I force the phone to 2G of 3G this doesn't happen. But I have to keep the phone in dual mode, is necessary to me.

The issue is certainly related to the 2G/3G switch, I can see it watching the signal bars in the upper part of the display.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmad:
i also had a problem with internet and calls.

Whenever i made a call, my h+/3g changed to g (i dont even know what that is, edge?)

after the phonecall it stayed on g unstill i restarted or went into airplane mode which really sucked!!!

But this is how i fixed it, and it might also fix your problem: download greenpower and let greenpower disable the internet while you make a phonecall!! Now i have no problems anymore

I want to dualboot WP7 and Android. So I prepared two SD Card 8GB, 4 Class, and on the first one I installed WP7, and on the second one I put Android. My problem is when I want to boot Android it freeze once on boot animation, once on developer logo. Twice rom successfully launch but after few second, it freeze. I'm using AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2 rom, I changed rootfs. What could be a problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rubledub:
depending on what version of WP7 your using ... most WP7 roms lock the sd card and will not run without the primary sd, and by primary i mean the sd that was in the phone when you installed WP7.

the only method i know of is to partition the sd and put android on the card that stays in your phone

HOWEVER! ive not kept up with the WP7 side of the forums for a few months ... so the devs might have fixed it so that Wp7 isnt dependent on the sd (but its doubtful)

try looking at cotullas ULTRAFRUIT WP7 rom ... i read that the sd is no longer locked, yet i dont think this is exactly what youre describing/wanting.

good luck

There are rumours this will be turned into an ad campaign, time will tell.

[YOUTUBE]zQZww_C6Zgg[/YOUTUBE]
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
The "really" ad was true to life and not a rigged survey like this one is, but hey, we're talking marketing soooooooo... it should get interesting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I don't get your point at all. How are the "really" ads more true to life than this? This is not a survey, these are real life scenarios, have you even watched the video? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] tjramage:
I don't think it's rigged dude...
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Nope. MS should just watch iphone ads and copy them

For example: an iphone ad will be something like "with the iphone you can do, x, y, z" with video on how to do them all in the ad.

With WP7 ads sometimes even I have no idea what they are trying to do, or even then how to do it (the guy shopping with his kids typing in a document in skydrive). Keep it simple and to the point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I totally agree with copying what Apple does, it's just great and Google has started doing it too (for non-Android services) but the above video is still miles better than all the generic stuff Microsoft has been doing so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
cool video. It wasn't rigged but the contestants were obviously not prepared.

First test the guy could have stopped the app and it would have found the song.

The others didn't make use of their widgets, instead they went looking for the app.

Nice try though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Camazza:
Well you're right, but the whole point of the contest is to show how on WP7 you don't have to look for a way to do things faster (like stopping soundhound).
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Agreed.

Couldn't the WP7 guy as well? Wouldn't a fair test be both to run its course?

Agreed. Again, not prepared. I was shocked the iPhone beat the WP7 with its straight to camera ability. But then I remembered iOS5.

I love this campaign. It has more meaning than the "really" one which is entertaining but does not really show anything. The one great thing about the iPhone/iPad ads are they fully demonstrate the products' capabilities. The Macs take that entertaining approach.

Has my thumbs up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
To Me the WP won if it was based on who said uploading first now as far as the completed task there are many other variables like which image was larger thus taking longer to post to twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Either way, this campaign drives the message home:

"Get in, get out, get on with your life."
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
The "really" ads showed people staring at their phones, walking into doors, refusing sex, etc which is true to life.

The survey is neither scientific nor prepared users other than the surveyor offering a $100 bet. He decides the task, instead of an impartial third party. Give an impartial third party the opportunity to decide random tasks, it will be very different and less dramatic.

^ this is why I said its marketing, soooooo you know.

http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-applies-for-patent-on-locked-mode-camera-access-in-smartphones

I seem to remember some iFan reporting on iOS 5 and how one of the reasons it was so much better than Windows Phone was because you could access the camera from the lock screen. He was oblivious that WP7 had done this first, and a year earlier, and would have had serious egg on his face if anyone had ever bothered correcting him. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
There was a nokia something or other years ago that did this. Not that it matters who was first, its an awesome feature reguardless !
[Windows Phone 7 General] zlogic42:
The ads were interesting and did prove some points, but too social network-centered. Come on, you don't choose a phone just because it allows you to quickly post stuff to Twitter. I don't facebook and post to Twitter twice a month, so this is hardly useful. And cameras on most Windows phones suck, especially first-generation models.

No mentions of

- integrated Office

- contact grouping (Android 4 does something like this, but WP7 is better)

- best-of-class email (reading large emails is much better in WP7 than Android)

Now if they did some other real-world scenarios:

- Use turn-by-turn navigation without distracting (Android navigation is a lot better)

- Load an Ajax-heavy page over a crappy network connection (Opera Mini obviously wins)

- Use a non-facebook online messenger, such as Google Talk or ICQ, or a non-integrated social network

- Uploading a bunch of documents for later reference with a USB cable instead of using Skydrive or email

- Identifying a random object (sorry, Bing Vision is pathetic compared to Google Goggles)

- Making a Skype call

- Switching between third-party apps without them losing state

that would make the competition a lot more interesting!

Or if they offered contestants to propose the challenge instead of the predefined scenarios.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I don't think I have walked into doors or been refused sex - so don't seem like that's a real life situation for me!

Anyways, if you did read about the 'survey' which was a challenge as a matter of fact - you would have known. The 'survey' wasn't meant to be scientific or wasn't meant to compared the 'cores' of phones. We know the hardware boasting of android is much above par. Dual cores, nearly 2ghz sorta processor etc etc.

What the challenge was to show that, yeah whatever funky hardware you carry in your pocket, let's just do something we do daily and we will see who can do it faster. Yes the incentive was $100. But it is completely wrong to say that 'he chose' the tasks. The tasks were mutually agreed by both and generally the task that the challenger thought he does daily with his phone and is happy doing it was performed as a challenge. For example if someone was so much into tweeting all the time on his dual core high end Android phone, he was challenged to do so against Windows Phone and get smoked!

Ideally if I was challenging WindowsPhone I wouldn't want a random dude to tell me what I should try. Instead asking the user to do what he does daily is scientifically even more challenging. You are not only challenging the cognitive brain but also challenging the routine co-ordination the user has already mastered on his phone. Thus the users who tweet regularly would ideally have the 'widget' somewhere pinned down. If they din't it's sad. But then it shows how the users are used to going into the 'app drawer' even for things they do daily or very frequently. Whereas a WindowsPhone user can pin it in a similar way as any other OS user too. But the fact that is very clear is - Only a few Pinned Live tiles covered ALL or Majority of tasks that any other OS user performed routinely. Thus, you don't need to clutter you screen with widgets, but live tiles (few) will let you do a plenty!

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Turn-by-turn navigation on WP7 is much less distracting than Googles one. You only hear the annoying woman when you tap and need it. Else it smoothly shows the directions to you. But probably that was no possible anyway unless they go on driving from CES to McD and then to CES! :p

Do you load Ajax-heavey pages daily? I think loading documents will be done easily and quickly via email. The task for fixed, not the method. So if aim was upload documents - WP7 would have done much faster and safer way using the hotspot connectivity they had. Certain third-party apps like skype, googles and many google services would have surely made WP7 stumble but obviously they could come back with - Ok let's get your XBOX achievements on your android phone? Or let's play assassin's creed or any WP7 only app/games on your phone? - that doesn't look like would have worked!
[Windows Phone 7 General] zlogic42:
I do, every day. Reading news on the bus/train, while most websites include tons of widgets (Facebook like, Tweet this, +1 etc), ads and inefficiently formatted HTML makes surfing the web with a real browser (instead of Opera Mini) unusable, especially in non-3G areas. I don't need AJAX features, but they do use a lot of traffic and not all websites provide a decent mobile-friendly version. Even forums without tons of AJAX still load much faster in Opera Mini. Online stores, cinema sites, forums - all load slowly, sometimes even on a 3G connection.

If you need to search an answer for something that's not integrated in WP7's Bing features, it's going to be so slow over 2G that most people give up and call a friend to google it on a regular computer.

IE on WP7 however is a very good browser UI-wise, I'd call it the best I've seen on a smartphone.

I do agree with your other points, but the ads could've shown much more features - like voice recognition (in cases where both phones support it), making a call, sending a text or email with the restaurant address. No mentioning of the live tiles or lockscreen displaying the number of unread messages, or the next appointment. Something like 80% of the ads displayed taking a picture and/or posting to social networks. Both Android 4 and iOS 5 already made taking a picture easy right from the lockscreen and posting stuff to social networks right on the spot is not a top priority for most people. It's a nice feature, but email/text is much more important in real life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Damn the hate on this forum even extends to this competition. I don't remotely see how this was rigged, this was all stuff I do on a daily basis: post to twitter, take pictures and upload them to twitter/fb, etc... Not to mention, the image sizes had nothing to do with this, as the taste was completed when the picture was submitted, not when the upload completed. And, both basically took identical pictures of each other.
