Even if you have already scratches on your screen it is still good to apply a screen protector. Most small scratches will be invisible with a protector on top of it.

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

I bought 2 cheap protectors of brand "Newtop" at hong kong shop focalprice.

It's really cheap ($ 1,86) and I'm satisfied with it.

As it is my first protector ever I can't compare it with other protectors. Probably not as tough as InvisibleShield or other expensive ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Maelmord:
If you want the best quality, then I would go with the Zagg Invisibleshield. They have been top-notch on any phone I've seen them on.

I was more interested in economy and bought a 3-pack from Citigeeks via Amazon.ca and have been quite satisfied. They are better than the one I bought from Bell.

IMHO, any screen protector is better than none :o
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Trekzak:
May I ask what you paid for them?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dahiLLL:
I have purchased the Brando screen protector. I will replace it immediately, not suggested.

Good to know! Have to try this.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bromhexine:
All the money I've invested into screen protectors i think its not that much price difference to just replace the digitizer once scratched I've seen them on ebay for 35 dollars. however no idea how to open the gio up i've found guides for the galaxy ace and i imagine it cant be much different.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sbbnm_2005:
what are the best types of the screen protectors?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
I am using one, but it looks uggly. there is air under my screen protector, wich make it look like bubbles, but its just above the screen, so I still have it on my gio for protection agaisnt keys in my pocket .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] trebla459:
invisible shield has a great quality but you have to be very careful on installing cause if you get one small mistake it can ruin everything especially when u installed it in the wrong way

Anyone tried anti - fingerprint screen protector? And if yes were you satisfied ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] supernova457:
Matte screen protectors, which are the anti-fingerprint ones you are talking about, are great for how I use my phone. Though they make the screen a bit blurry, they make the phone alot more usable since your finger will never get the screen "oily" and leave bad finger residue. Since most people text and play games, the graphical tradeoff is negligible. I would reccomend those.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kuosh:
Thanks for the quick reply appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] anagrams:
I use the Zagg too. It's kinda thick. But works well, and the phone is working great.

Not so easy to place though, and the top corners are not very well placed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Sarah008:
I don't use the screen protector. Cuz I couldn't help to strip it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alva Clipton:
I use anti glaire :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
would it decrease the retina screen quality/brightness on the ipad?

for example, do you see it clealrly that theres a screen protector on, ??

my ipad has a layer on its screen to decrease fingerprint, but still gets a bit dirty

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sangokas:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] GeekyKitty:
I use iShieldz. They're about $20 but they're freakin' awesome and way easier to install than the Zagg.

Just put that RainX stuff for car windshields on your current screen protector. Voila! No fingerprints!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] EliBsora:
i just bought a cheap screen protector from ebay

the true important thing is to install it correctly without dust or air bubles!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
impossible!

mine is pretty bad, having 2 bubbles and dust at the top of my screen.

Since a new phone with ICS does not have physical buttons (home, menu, back and search) does that mean I would not be able to flash gingerbread?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
I imagine it could be done, but there will be an exception that you will some sort of modded rom to accommodate that, so I think its possible dont hold me to it, but It is up to a developer to take care of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I guess I'm confused, but your question makes me thing that with Windows 7, does that mean you can't change to Win 98??

I mean, why would you want to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Thats actually what I was thinking this phone is bulit for ICS use it for ICS and if you dont want an ICS phone dont get one, you can just get a GB phone and flash an ICS rom later once he comes to his senses...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Yea..why would u want to is the question. My evo came with 2.1 and ive never flashed a 1.5 rom.

But i dont think there even is one. Cause it would be nonsense for a dev to make it.

If your saying hypothetically would it work. I guess it could..the dev would just have to bake in software buttons...im thinkin
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer-B:
you can flash back to gingerbread whenever you want. Once they will have a stable 4.0, I wouldn't be going back. Furthermore physical buttons on the EVO do work on ICS4.0 roms.

Hope this was helpful, thanks button is was :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intrlude:
If the phone gets updated with ICS, then no, you will not be able to because the available RUUs will be "older" than the current file construct. If it ships with ICS, there wouldn't be RUUs you could use anyway for your hardware. You would have to root and hope that a Gingerbread/Froyo/Eclair/Donut ROM is custom made from source for your phone, a lot of work.

Walking down the hall today carrying my laptop and phone, wasn't even thinking and phone slipped out and dropped on the ceramic tile floor.

It has no case and no screen protector.

It fell from slightly above waist high.

When I picked up the phone, the back plate had 2 notches that were partially unseated at the top of the phone. I re-seated them and inspected the phone closely. NO DAMAGE!!

Not a single scratch on the screen and no scratches on the body, whew!

Way to go Samsung! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Glad to hear there were no casualties today ;)

you are lucky. That's a warning, get a screen protector and a case now!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Or just a case :p since most cases have front parts to prevent screen damage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
First phone I actually use a screen protector and case on.

I came from a LG G2x and a Blackberry (personal and work). Maybe I'm freaked out about not having a fall back anymore. But the phone is thin enough that a case doesn't add too much more.

LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - AOSP KANG

Asus Transformer - 3.2.1 OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Agreed, simply because cases provide a better grip to the phone especially for such a big phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoyohere2:
I had a similar situation and dropped it in the bathroom floor from my pocket. 1 or 2 notches came off the back cover. Everything else is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a4840639:
I dropped my Nexus S on the street and result 2 quite noticeable notches on the corners , I guess the surface was pretty hard and rough. At least I was lucky enough for the screen which is without a protector results fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jasperov:
Dropped every single phone I've ever had once or twice, my Desire is destroyed, I keep it as a spare, my Hero survived with minor wear marks, my SGS2 had one tiny scratch on the screen and a few marks around the edges of the phone, my month old Galaxy Nexus so far is spotless, touch wood.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjrudey:
I have a very very faint half inch long scratch near my earpiece. Thinking about getting a case. Probably not, I don't like them. I still need to get the spare battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
You guys are stupid she doesn't need screen protector or a case.

You need some crazy glue humpdy dumpdy lol

I was drunk and dropped my gs2 then kicked it on a tiled Floor the thing went in three pieces put it back together and away I went . Ha plastic fantastic they say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crookone10:
I'm not rocking a case either and haven't really has a serious drop or anything yet (knock on wood) but one thing I have noticed is the gray material around edge and back (not the back rubber cover) is completely terrible. The slightest of dings takes chunks out of it. Why would they use such a cheap material that has no durability at all?

Also I've see several people taking keys to their display on YouTube. Are they aware that this screen isn't Gorilla Glass? I have some very faint hairline scratches on my screen that can't be seen unless looked at certain angles but it definitely isn't scratch resistant especially considering I haven't don't anything really that would cause the scratches. Still don't even know how they got there. Don't put phone in pocket with keys or usually anything and never lay face down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
I like my phones like I like my woman (well my wife). Naked.

OP you definitely got lucky though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MasterRy88:
True it does not have gorilla glass but it has sammys version of it. You wont get glass scratches from keys, you get that from dirt or sand making its way into your pocket and rubbing against the screen. As far as the plastic goes, that doesnt do so well when marked with keys :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChaoticPurity:
My heart would have stopped if that happened. I don't get cases because I feel I'm that much more secure with them, but most cases tend to give me a better grip- which I'd want anyways. I've not gotten a screen protector yet, as I haven't found one that I like. I want one that provides scratch resistant qualities, but isn't gummy like invisible shield.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Whilst staggering home on new year's eve I dropped mine onto the road, I have two little chips on one corner but other than that, no damage. (No case, no screen protector)

I was so disappointed with myself the next day but then I realised how incredibly lucky I was that it didn't suffer any more damage, especially the screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
This may sound dumb but if you don't have a screen protector, avoid putting the phone face down. I believe that - along with picking up the phone carelessly whilst face down contributed to my extremely small scratch.

Their is no way I could feel safe sporting this phone without a screen protector, but I have noticed that after dropping it twice on concrete, there are no visible marks. There is however, a slight hairline scratch on the screen from the first 12 hours I had it before I installed the screen protector and also before it was dropped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaSheikh:
Call me a freak, but I don't care... I've had the phone for 2 weeks now and not taking off the standard screen cover that comes with it till my protector gets shipped.. should arrive in a couple of days... Also ordered a case... :)

Games like mario kart run well but ridge racer, mk trilogy, tony hawk 2, and killer instinct dont run well at all. Is there something I need to change in the settings or is there a better emulator I can use that isnt in the market? Thanks for the help !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benlc:
Give a try to n64oid
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] felisen:
N64oid (http://slideme.org/application/n64oid)

It costs $5 but I think it's worth it. The only trouble I have had was some shutters in Mario Kart, but I was also using a PS3 controller over Bluetooth (Sixaxis app) and streaming to an HDTV.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MinusTheOh:
I had the same experience with Mario Kart, but just playing it on the tablet alone. No bluetooth on or HDMI out, although I think that's changed since the ICS update. I'm getting tired of using the touch screen and my Xbox controllers are broken, so I may try out Sixaxis again and root it.

Also, it totally is worth $5. Even worth dropping an extra dollar or two for an app that helps you find ROMS and download them directly from the app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I'm using sixaxis controller, a ps3 controller and n64oid and Zelda is amazing, thats all ive tried though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackelbait:
Try putting in Frame Skips 2-3

I do that for games that stutter and it works great...

this is N64OID , but Im sure they all have frame skip

Turn off Fog if thats a option also

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I will purchase the app this weekend when I have more time to play around with everything. Has anyone tried Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Tony Hawk 2 or 3, NBA Showtime, Killer Instinct Gold? These are the titles I am currently having trouble with. I am curious if others have gotten them to run well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] felisen:
I will try that, thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MinusTheOh:
I'll be trying this out as well. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] felisen:
Could you possibly explain what the frame skips does/mean?

Mine was already set at 3, tried 5 which was worse, then tried 1 and that seemed better. Does that make sense?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jackelbait:
Every Game is different so If 1 Works for one game great, others may require 2 or 0.

Frame Skip does exactly what it says... its skips a frame..

I don't know why we need it , but on any emulator they have the option. Maybe it has something to do with the way emulators work and read roms versus how the real system reads the games.. Your playing early 90'S games with 2012 technology

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Forgive me if this has been mentioned, I don't remember anyone noticing this before. I do remember reading where someone said he had 3g with back door off and there was joking about him being a tower. lol.

I have my back door off while I work on rooting my phone. I noticed it kept showing 3G with a couple bars and also some indication that data was being transferred. So I tried to text my friend, no immediate response, tried again after I successfully connected to my wifi, he eventually responded.

Successfully connected to sites via Dolphin HD browser and successfully sent an email from gmail to yahoo.

Tried to check my voicemail but call would not connect in either 3g or wifi mode.

Also, I put the back door under my couch pillow to block it more in case there was some kind of signal connection or whatever, just to be sure it wasn't anything to do with that being close to the phone.

Well I thought it was interesting in case anyone ever needs to contact someone and they've lost or broken their back door.

I had rebooted after having been temp rooted for backing up, so still stock.
[HTC Rezound] Clancya:
I installed the extended battery and cover. I immediately had data issues. I was connected but quality/speed was reduced and variable. Speed went from 12Mbs down to 4-5Mbs. I placed a coworkers extended battery cover on and everything went back to normal. Mine had a broken contact(from the factory). I exchanged for a new one at the Verizon store.

I was amazed that missing one of the contacts out of the 10 would make that much difference.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nights815:
Hello XDA Users and Developers

I am looking for any Stock Verizon Rom for Droid Incredible.

here is the problems and what I tried.

The contacts app does not work(crashes).

The phone claims that it has no or low space available but shows more than 6gb remaining of space. (I am aware of some fixes for this but I hope that a Flash will do better.)

Since the phone was purchased it never allowed a backup using recovery tools.

The phone did not have this problem within 1.5 years of ownership. currently at 1.7 yrs. All of this began several official updates ago. And I think it is related to a update that was prematurely shut down during firmware update.

I have come to the point where I just want to start from the beginning. But I cant find any RUU or Roms anywhere on Verizon's website, and All Verizon can do is take the phone and have it repaired with payment, taking a week or so and I know they are just going to flash it. I looked on Google search, and all I find is Incredible 2 and Rooting features.

I have done a Factory data reset with no improvement.

I am familiar with flashing Windows phones, dual booting phones, Rooting phones, etc..

I do not want (rather my Girlfriend does not want) a Rooted Rom. yes, i did try to explain the improvements but whatever.

Does any one know where I can download any stock HTC Incredible Rom/RUU.

I know it can be flashed via SD card or by Computer.

Help me obi wan, you're my only hope.

:)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Well what version of Android are you on? Are your contacts saved on gmail and/or Verizon Backup Assistant? RUU can be downloaded under the headline "Recovery" from this site:

www.pvillecomp.com

The RUU that you download should be titled: "PB31IMG" but without quotes. Also, the low space errors actually deal with the phone memory partition not the internal 8 GB that you referenced. Roughly 150 mb of the 748 mb of phone memory are reserved for apps and the rest is, I believe, used for the OS and your rom. The file designation: "data/data" filling up is usually the cause of these low memory notices.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nights815:
Hmm.. will look at that when she gets home.

I know her contacts are saved on Gmail account but its annoying that she cant access it on her phone itself.

And we do not use verizon back up assistant since it failed to restore her contacts twice. We only use Gmail contacts.

Im just hoping that a clean install will fix random issues she has been having.

It has with my Eris phone. Then I will not hear "I hate my phone" "my phone dose not work" "why cant anything work right" followed by me saying " Do you want me to fix the problem?" every day. :)

Thanks for the link. I will check it out and see what I can do. I hope i can fix it before she decides to buy another phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Just a little correction :) The ruu's are actually under the heading "stock images" not recovery.

The low data space problem can be easily fixed by flashing the ext4_no_data_limit mod found in the development section.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nights815:
cool will try that too.

I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Happy_Jack:
It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.

Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.

One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.
