duh,Zagg is where its at

Hey I have been using the Zagg ones ... the first was a beast to put on but the secret is in the slick-um. IF you don't have nuff slick-um it will turn out all wrong...

ALSO,

make sure to check the box... my last box was light, sum dumass clepto did a snatch & grab...

hehe, heh:eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] IMA_Redneck:
I recently purchased some of the BulletProof protectors from ebay as well. I scratched mine putting them on. Not sure if they are as "BulletProof" as advertised if you know what i mean. I do like how they are slick like glass instead of sticky like soft plastic. My phone had something similar to a Zagg on it when I bought it and i was not happy with the feel. Too bad you cant buy a thin sheet of gorilla glass and bond it on top of what is already there. Then if it does scratch the top sheet would be replaceable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigbuckin:
Gorilla glass all the way!

Ive had the phone for about a year now... NO scratches, period. My phone is always in my pocket, occasionally with keys, coins, or other items. I work in garden retain, so i often have sand, dirt, gravel, etc. find its way into my pocket.

Again, not a scratch :)

No protectors for me!

I've been using the Zagg shields on my phones for a couple of years now with good results. right now I'm using the smudge free version on my inspire and I just love it. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chund3r:
I bought a zagg shield when I got my Inspire, it served its purpose (rather it needed to or not with the gorilla glass). But it eventually collected so much dirt+dust I decided to take it off. I never seen such a beautiful display before on my phone! It was clearer, and the colors were more vibrant. I've been screen protector free for about 3 months now without any issues! (Knocks on wood!)
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
I suppose I'll let you guys know what I've been using.

I've had an xtreme guard screen protector on my phone since april 2011. By now it is due for replacement. The screen has "stretch marks" lol, they aren't bubbles or wrinkles...

I do have to say for 3 bucks I couldn't be happier. It is applied with some soapy water, which was great and allows for repositioning. It does seem fairly thick and makes me think it would actually help if I were to drop it onto pavement or something. The best part is that it is very slippery. It makes scrolling much easier than a bare screen.

I've heard they can be removed and replaced to fix any imperfections, even after extended periods, but for 3 bucks I just ordered a new one.

I give it two thumbs up!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hunt3r.j2:
In general they're all the same, clear TPU is what the screen protector is made of, I believe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hotrodwinston:
I have zaggs on both mine and my wifes inspires and love them. We decided to get them after my wife somehow scratched her screen (very tiny and very thin - you can only see it at the right angle and only with the screen off in bright light-cant see it at all with the zagg on). The reason I went with the more expensive zagg is the lifetime free replacement - Would much rather scratch the zagg than my screen.

Which is best to use I know both have pro's and cons. But which one is best for hboot 1.5.

I know folks said TWRP broke up and support is no longer going on for it. Clockwork is still in the game on things. Anyways what do you prefer.

I currently have latest TWRP messed with it looks nice smooth so far. Anyways gonna give clockwork a shot.

I seen a few posts about this just curious with the hboot 1.5 which one is prefered for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] evolving:
:confused: ya know i wonder about that also.i have been on clockwork since the early hero days and i think i have had to ditch it one time for a rom i wanted cant remember it now,but its never gave me any issue that i can recall.sorry not much help at all and im on 1.4... the curiousity just caught my interest.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Both seem to be good did some more diggin people were saying TWRP was splitting up and no support that's not true there still working on it and plan on coming out with a new one in the future.

Just one guy left the group nothing new :D

[HTC EVO 3D] FaalKorum:
Seems to boil down to personal preference. I used Clockwork on my original EVO, and TWRP on my E3D. I agree that the TWRP 2.0 touch interface is a big leap, but they both get the job done.

Hboot 1.50 Unlocked/ Recovery issues

I'm on hboot 1.50 Htc Unlocked and I've tried both. It would be nice if the backups were compatible with each other. I did like the TWRP touch interface, but we all know that sometimes digitizers go bad, but then so do hardware buttons. After reading through the TWRP website I decided to just stick with CWM.

I am however having a difficult time installing anything other than CWM v4.0.1.4 (v5.0.2.0 is available) or TWRP 2.0 rc0.1 . Tried FlashImage, Fastboot, and Rom Manager. Tried the .zips and the .img files. Arrrrghh.

I have a Velocity Cruz t301. I'm not able to root it yet with ClockworkMod. Is there an instruction manual for ClockworkMod somewhere ???

Dan
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethisbike:
you should google clockworkmod and find out what it REALLY does...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Moved to Android Q&A.

The boot image is unsecured on the T301 so you should be able to connect with ADB and push the needed files through there. I don't have a link handy at the moment but I remember seeing a post here somewhere with detailed instructions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techristian:
Ok I understand. However I downloaded StevenJHillv0.3. and installed it. As far as I know it was supposed to have su capability "out of the box". So it didn't, but the device won't even let me ADB !! So I can't even ROOT now or do anything. SU was embedded in the StevenJHillv0.3 rom.

I have done machine language programming since TRS-8O and C64 but this thing is locked up tighter than FORT KNOX ! AND that android emulator is a joke.

When I did have ROOT capability in the past, it would only last for a little while. I could only get it back by using a PIN to reset and then going through the ADB process all over again.

I'm thinking that I would better spend my time on the Arduino !

Dan
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techristian:
btw StevenJHillv0.3 has ClockWorkMod and SU combined.

I'm a newbie here

I'm a newbie here and have been following this thread for a few days. I am the lucky owner of a Cruz T-301 (thanks to Craigslist). I purchased mine recently from a lady who got it last Christmas but since it wouldn't play angry birds......! I decided to try to root it (hence my interest in this thread). I have also visited the SlateDroid forum and noted an alternate method of rooting (and improving the performance) my T-301. I actually tried the adb method to root and speed up my unit. The problem is I don't know if I got the root and speedup done or not. How does one know if my T-301 is rooted? Performance does not appear to be significantly improved.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
Hey everyone, so as you can tell, the Galaxy Player 5 has the phone speaker grill and microphone placed just as if it was a phone. However, I can't seem to find a way to get Google Voice to allow making VoIP phone calls over the Galaxy Player since there isn't a native dialer app built into the phone (from what I can see).

Anyone know a fix around this? I use an AT&T unlimited non-smartphone data plan + DUN connect to have my Galaxy Player connected via the 3G HSDPA network 24/7 and I used it to make calls on my iPod touch prior to picking up a Galaxy. I would love to do the same with this more "Phone-like" device.

If this isn't possible since there isn't a dialer associated with this first "Android" non-phone devs, is there any chance to spoof it into thinking that there is a dialer app so it enables the "Call with Google Voice" function? Considering that it's only using VoIP and not an actual carrier network to carry the call through (unless I'm completely confused lol which is possible).

Thanks in advance!

If you get GrooveIP and combine it with the Google Voice app you can make and receive voice calls through a Google Voice account on the SGP. Many have had good results.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mu5ic92:
hey i know every once in a while someone post a thread *****ing about battery life but i need some serious help. i think my pictures will speak for themselves. iv calibrated battery, wiped clean phone. drained battery and recharged to 100 percent. anything anybody has posted before im almost sure i have tried to no avail

As you can see only 18 mins off the Charger and already down to 90 percent! and thats with WIFI GPS BLUETOOTH AND 4G OFF!

my setup is on one of the pictures.

could it be a faulty battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I've been having this problem too, RECENTLY. used to be fine a month ago. Idk what's going on really
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kasper19:
I'll bite. First off, detail your setup. modem, kernel, ROM.

Second, from your graph it doesn't look like you are in a good service area, how many bars do you usually have?

4+ in screen time. At 4% left.

Rom: calkulin 2.8.1

Kernel: rogue desperado

modem: ek02

undervolted -100mv with calk's script. Max cpu set to 1ghz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mu5ic92:
Sorry i could have sworn i uploaed a picture of my setup. its now the third picture.

i usually have around 3-4 bars. at that time i was at work but that is a constant drain home or anywhere else. at home i get much better signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Have you ever had reasonable battery life, or is this a new issue?

It's possible that your battery is bad, but I think it's unlikely unless it's been under high temps for an extended time.

Some suggestions I'd try if it was me;

- backup your sd card and reformat it

- try running calk 2.8.1 without the ics theme to see if usage improves

- run your setup without wiping/flashing for a few days and see if the phone settles in

Good luck getting it sorted.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
When I first started, I was getting horrible battery life. Like 50% loss in 4 hours. Here are a few things you can try.

1. Turn off auto sync to google

2. Turn off facebook and sync

3. Turn off email syncing

You get the pattern. I think for me it was the fact that I was in a horrible reception area and all of the syncing made the phone constantly try to get a connection. Now i get 5-10% loss in 4 hours, which I'm happy with.

Kernel and modem are important too, so might help to tell us what you're using exactly.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
EL26 and EL29 Kernels/Modems were huge battery drainers for me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] redefinedM3:
You ask about having strong cell signal, I guess it will drain the batter if you're going in and out of service? Just curious because on my way to and from our shop there is one spot where all phones drop service. It only lasts about 1/8 mile but it happens with every carrier I've tested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Like someone above said turn off all syncing also keep in mind that phone batteries now dont hold the first 10% of a full charge because that damages the battery in the long run. The first 10% always goes down that fast unless you bump charge which is when you plug in to 100% then unplug and replug for 5 minutes and repeat a few times. If it continues to die like that then try underclocking with setcpu while you have it with screen off or in a phone call also you can undervolt. Turn off auto syncing and check to see what proccesses you have running that eat your battery and kill them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I'll give you one solid advice. Run Blazer ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Go back to stock voltages.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
How long does the battery last to an almost full discharge? I had the same problem when I flashed a new ROM and tried calibrating the battery as you did (deleting battery stats file). I'd unplug my phone after a full chatge and 30mins later would be down to below 90%.

Turns out that deleting the battery stats file may not do anything to our phone in terms of calibration, and the way to calibrate it is by doing a battery pull for half an hour or so. Then just using the phone, and the battery eventually calibrates itself. Can't remember the link where I read this, but after doing that and after a couple weeks of usage, the first 10% drop wasn't so dramatic. I currently get a day with an average of 3-4 hour screen on time. Using the same ROM that seemed to give me problems in the first place.

Also like someone else mentioned, phone signal is a huge factor in battery usage. One of the cell towers went down where I live, and during those 7 days (yeah, thanks sprint!), my phone would constantly jump back and forth off of roaming... battery life would tank so quickly that I turned off data/3G/4G to get any semblance of battery life.

This is my thinking. The faster I kill my battery the more enjoyment reaped. Why buy a smartphone to do nothing on it and get 24hrs between charges. Lets see some real bad batt screens. Who gives a **** about your unused phone/batt stats.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
I only provided them because some people were asking for pictures. I have no reason to lie :/ And you're right, I'm not using it to it's full potential. Practically the entire battery is going towards texting, and checking my email once a day or so. I only used it as such the last few days because I needed proof of my battery life. I haven't played any games or went on the internet for longer than 3 minutes at a time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] globalninja:
My theory about that screen shot is that he connected his charger and not let it charge completely.

Or its an extended battery.

Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
See this is what is interesting after investigation of those battery shots. (I'm just having fun here guys, not trying to argue :-) )

You're at 73 percent with one day of usage at 5:29 my time with the first screen shot. I then ask for the display time. One hour later (both marked by your phone and by the post) you're at 58% dropping 15% over that hour between posts, yet your 27% initial drop from your first screenshot showed 1 day and some change to receive that 27% drop. So you dropped 27% over 1 days time, then dropped 15% over the next hour. Anyone notice this? =P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Yeah I saw that too. Threads like this kill me. Unless you have say 60% Android usage/OSbug this kind of comparison is pointless. Too many variables to compare batt stats. In my book this is as much clutter as "wheres my ICS" threads.lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Very observant my friend!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Must be either in class/work. If not what a waste of a perfectly good smartphone. Let it sit to get good batt stat shots.lol

I for one am an abuser. Power using is for pussys. I'm happy when I get 5hrs. Anything over 10hrs for me means I've been sleeping.lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
+1 that's why I got an extended battery =}
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yet you managed 11 hours of screen on time, over 36ish hours off the charger? 4 days on a charge is certainly possible if you barely or never wake up your phone. But with 11 hours of screen on time? Whachoo tawkin bout Willis?

For giggles I set a completely black image for my wallpaper, set my brightness to the minimum, switched to a completely blank homescreen, and set my screen off to NEVER. All that was showing was the status bar and dock bar. I could have gone a step further and hid the dock and status bar but I felt I had done enough for purposes of this.

With minimal services running in the background and over wifi, I lost 1% every 7 minutes with the screen on. Assuming I could push that to 1% every 10 mins with additional tweaks, that's 6% per hour, or a potential of 16.67 hours of screen on time from a full charge doing NOTHING else. Yet you show 11 hours with only 42% battery use and state you were texting and doing other minor things.

I'm sorry, but you're either doing something along the lines of what I did to pad your battery stats or you're not showing the true situation with your shots, or a combination of the two to post them in this thread for some kind of self gratification. With even very light usage under normal circumstances, what you're showing is simply not possible. When you post something that extreme, expect people to call you out on it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nightlybuild:
So blazer or caulk's for battery life? Also, I am on stock firmware with hitman 1.5 based on el29. Is it the fact that I am on el29 that's killing my battery so much?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
So are you saying you have a screen on time of 11 hours while texting and checking email, or doing something else?

Anyway, I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, because 4 days would be awesome. But I call BS. 11 hours screen on time to get down to only 58% on stock battery. Extrapolating that down to close to 0%, you would get over 24 hours of screen-on time. That would be over 4 times the best screen on display people have posted here of 5-6 hours. At least you could have faked it to something slightly more believable like 2 times the best screen on time, but FOUR TIMES?! Nice try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
Well I was actually scrolling around on XDA for that hour on my phone :/

Well I don't really know what to say :/ I wouldn't know how to fake those results if I tried. My older brother and older sister both got the epic 4g touch at the same time as me. My brother gets similar battery life as I do but my sister's will make it anywhere from 16 to 18 hours doing absolutely idle sitting there doing nothing. I'd like to think it could have something to do with where she lives? I mean, I didn't want to start an argument or anything, I just wanted to post some battery shots. Sorry if it comes off like I'm trying to show off or something :(
