Yeah...... So Funny.... I went fishing this last weekend and was super careful with my new phone..... Guess what..... It scratched....... Never had issues with scratches on my 3d......makes me wonder....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
Really!? I have one of those new HD Zagg shields but haven't put it on yet thinking it wont scratch... I might just put it on today
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Varekai:
I don't think it is. From what I read the other day it seems the GSIII will be the first phone sporting the new Gorilla Glass 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
correct,

although there is almost no difference in strength between gorilla glass and gorilla glass 2. The latter is designed to be thinner.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chconser:
So does this mean it has the original Gorilla Glass then?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
I'm using a screen protector and body case since most of the time smartphones rubbing the inside of my pants' pockets wear down the screen and cosmetics of the device :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iraiderx:
I have the HD Zagg on, but it kinda messes with the P-sensor, when i make a call and put the phone away from my face it sometimes doesnt turn on, never had this issue with my 3d. And if it matters i payed 8 dollars at bestbuy to get it installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sbuxreg:
this video is amazing! makes me wonder if i really need my otter box defender now. LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TweetyBear:
sprint store i went to today had an htc rep there. i asked him what kinda screen it was. he told me himself that it was gorilla glass 2. i even asked him if he was sure, he said he was. he seems very knowledgable about htc products cuz he answered all my questions even though i already knew the answers :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chconser:
Hmm, this is interesting. So, wouldn't it make sense that if a manufacturer as big and as marketing savvy as HTC was going to sell a flagship phone such as this that came equipped with GG/GG II, they would be advertising it as a selling point? Not trying to troll my own thread but it seems like they've done this in the past with their other phones as well. I wonder why?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
You probably got a piece of sand in your pocket, silica/quartz/sand will scratch gorilla glass. Or diamonds, if you are rolling around in those. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
No the Evo LTE is using Gorrila glass 2.

How tough is Gorilla Glass 2?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Thanks for YouTube link. I watched that AND two about Gnex, both were scratch tests and showed no scratching.

BUT...all 3 vids I watched had user comments saying they (users) had scratched screens,...just from everyday use. And Slayer69 (oh so sadly, sorry bro) already scratched his. Little hard to know what to believe.:confused:

Everything I've read and heard from anywhere says it's Gorilla Glass 2.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-evo-4g-lte-sprint/

HTC's site says it's Corning Gorilla Glass. If it was Gorilla Glass II, I would imagine they would make that clear on their own site. Either way, I never had a single scratch on my 4G or 3D. I threw my 4G at a wall one day and it didn't even crack the screen, but it did no longer work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kornface13:
How can this be gorilla glass? Look at this....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692487

Dropping it onto gravel is nowhere near the same as hammering the crap out of the screen directly onto a nail... No way this is sporting gorilla glass...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Even if it isn't it is some sort of hardened glass designed to withstand abuse. I never use screen protectors and have never had a problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slayer69:
OH I am sure it was diamonds...that is the only thing I would allow to be in my pockets lol.

Good news was my phone was overheating really bad....so I was allowed to exchange it.....I when ahead against all my will put a zag HD on it....I have to say the new HD took away all my dislikes of a screen protector. Feels just like the glass.....most people don't even notice. so....no more scratch and fully protected.!

:D:D:D

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

I have always know curtain types of rocks will still scratch the screen....I just didn't know I had diamonds in my pockets.......As I said above though phone was over heating so I now have replaced it and no more scratches!!! YAY! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shakuyi:
if the source (HTC) says it has Gorilla Glass then it does

"Design is in the details. With an external dedicated camera button, HD screen protected with Corning® Gorilla® Glass, and the original HTC EVO kickstand for upright hands-free entertainment, these details make all the difference."

HTC's site explicitly says it has Gorilla Glass, not Gorilla Glass II. I would imagine if this is Gorilla Glass II, they would explicitly say so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdub4nd:
I scratched my screen. Half inch long going horizontally it portrait. I've been taking super extra careful care of this phone. I have no idea how it got there. I just pulled it out once and there it was. Not happy. Now I have to find a reason to return my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
I don't trust a gorilla & I certainly don't trust any glass to be as durable as any video or test suggests.

Somehow the user finds that a speck of dirt is mightier than the test hammer & nails.

Kyocera had the craziest of them all with the Echo.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stratman71:
Had my precious new Evo LTE for less than 24 hrs. No screen protector or case yet, leaned over with it in my shirt pocket and it slid out and fell about 2' onto a pile of gravel at work. Top right glass has a 1" long, semicircle crack that extends about 1/4" in from edge around volume buttons. Not really noticeable when screen is on, But sure was upsetting until I called Amazon and she "suggested" it was shipping damage and they are over-nighting a free replacement (luckily weren't on B.O. still). Really have to be more careful with my expensive toys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chconser:
Bummer! :(

That's impressive on Amazon's part though. Sounds like shirt pockets are a phone's worst nightmare. This is the second story I've heard of this happening in less than a week.

*Note to self: do not put my $600 smart phone in my shirt pocket, EVARRR! :cool:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I got a couple of light scratches in my screen.... Before I put a screen protector on it.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] getitoutme2:
Thank you to everyone that took part in this thread. I just ordered my EvoLTE today (I am done with Verizon and their BS), and after reading all the comments, I am now ordering SGP Steinheil screen protectors so that I can apply one as soon as my new phone arrives!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
As for what's new with Gorilla Glass 2, Corning hasn't revealed much. Gorilla Glass 2 will work better with smaller devices, will offer improved touch technology, will be more durable, and will allow hardware makers to design larger, more complex glass-covered surfaces for phones, tablets, and televisions.

http://mobile.informationweek.com/80256/show/9cebe765b9289d292bfadacaaab60172/?

It really doesn't matter which glass it has. GG2 is 20% thinner anyways allowing more room in smaller devices
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
with these smartphones, i dont care what kind of glass it is..

you still need a protective case, and a screen protector.

quartz and sand WILL scratch any kind of glass, and you'd be surprise how that little dusty grit of quartz can get anywhere in your pockets or onto your screen.

dont take your phone to the beach either unless you got a screen protector, and water proof case, IN a zip lock bag. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I have a steinheil and it's great. Good choice..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheCraigJ:
That hurt my intestines to watch that. Geez.

I use Phantomskinz on my screens. I like the slickness. The Zagg ones seem to drag more, at least to me. And the Phantomskinz are a lot cheaper. The Zagg ones are 3x more.

That said, I ran across a sale on Amazon for the Otterbox Defender for less than the price of the Commuter, so I bought it. I'm using the protector that came with that for now, but it seems to make "rainbows", so I will probably take that part out and get a Phantomskinz instead.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
DXROM (Dian Xin rom) is another Chinese ROM (similar to MIUI). I got bored and figured I would port it over to the Shift. My phone however isn't working anymore so I wasn't able to fix it 100% (check for issues below).

Great work as usual man :) . Thank you :) .

EDIT:

What's wrong with your Shift?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Looks like a flex cable. Keyboard works fine but the touchscreen only works if I open the keyboard slightly at an angle - really hard to get it working lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] crump84:
That sucks dude, we need you to have a Shift! Maybe I'll "lose" mine and send it to you :). Anyway, ROM looks pretty cool, I'll give a try later when I can download.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] notsointeresting:
Great work! Nice to more work for the shift!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Yea that sounds like the Flex Cable :mad: . I sent you a PM.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
looks nice, although all the chinese roms seem to look the same to me

well, minor differences like the lockscreen but yeah
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
I agree, just minor differences and they're all trying to look like ios in some degree.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
yeah, i dont understand the craze but to each their own i guess
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] notsointeresting:
Miui was so popular there, that's what everyone else wants theirs to look like
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jmartin72:
I agree, why get an Android phone, only to make it look like an iPhone. What a shame
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BigSplit:
I dont see how any of them besides joyos are trying to be IOS? Because the default themes use grey gradients?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Bfitz26:
it's not the iphone look most people like it is the smoothness and customization of everyting and the sms app dialer etc.. i don't use the stock laucher so it's not iphoney at all..

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Good to know
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
My guess is that people who use these roms like IOS, but because of their carriers limited phone selection, or their economic status, cannot afford to buy a crapple device, therefore get a cheaper android phone and do their best to make it look like IOS, but yeah, to each their own.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Other than that just the things you mentioned, I think it's probably my favorite of the recent Chinese ROM Ports
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
Don't forget the iphone looking icons and a lot of them don't have app drawers.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Dread 7us:
It's using the kernel from 7.2 but a lot of the libs/ect are from Cyclonic.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iMacMane:
How can the archos kid play tablet ($130) get ics and the galaxy s 4g can't? Is it because of the 1gb ram?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I don't know but I paid $500 for my phone. I'm on the T-Mobile Loyalty Plus Plan	(no contract). You would think I paid for the upgrade already lol... it was worth it though because this phone brought me to this Community (my first Community/Root/Modding) and all It's Offerings.

Sorry for being off topic. I'm waiting on a train to take me home.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Actually, this phone is perfectly above standards to run ICS quite smoothly. If the tmo g1 with 538 mhz arm v6 cortex and 192 mb ram can run it, then obviously, we can.

It basically has the same specs as a Nexus S(Crespo)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I'm really beginning to think that the "exclusively for Tmobile" is our Achilles heel, because we're such a small percentage of the overall market share we're just not important enough to them (Tmobile & Samsung) to warrant the update... That's why may faith lays in the hands of the developers we have here.

[HD2 General] speedyracer5:
Please help me fix my beloved HD2 :) I have replaced my HD2 with one I purchased off ebay a few weeks ago, as the hardware on my old one failed. Anyway, it turns out that the one I purchased off ebay is a TMOUS HD2. Anyhow, the phone works perfectly in every operation, except the most vital feature, cellular connection! :(

On the original Windows Mobile 6.5 rom, I just get an exclamation mark where the signal should be. When I search manually on network selection I can only see Orange that comes up. This is no use to me as I am on GiffGaff (ran on the O2 network).

On android, under the status screen I can see that there is signal being recieved, but most of the other boxes say things like provider unknown etc. The signal says something like 103db, -3asu (these are only the figures I remember), so I can see that some signal is working.

On windows phone it says No Service on the phone icon. I have tried the APN tool and it still does not work :(

What could this be? I have reflashed some different radios and it still does not work. The simcard worked perfectly with my previous european HD2. I have now spent about 8 hours tonight trying to get it working ;(

Many thanks :)
[HD2 General] hjhjhj:
run htc connection setup obtained from the htc marketplace part of the windows phone marketplace. those numbers you see under android is the signal strength numbers. did you not know you were buying a tmous phone from ebay and not the european version? the phone should still work as the hd2 is a quad band phone.

anyway, the connection setup app is what you need. make sure your cellular connection is on in settings.
[HD2 General] Legolas90:
you should try different roms. I had it before and after switched to cm7 it gone :)
[HD2 General] speedyracer5:
hey man, cheers for the reply! I thought that it was a european phone, the pictures showed a generic HD2 with white buttons, so they must have just used a stock picture, I was quite happy that it was a tmous one, because of the extra ROM. Anyhow, in windows phone 7 I did actually run the HTC connection setup, and configure it to giffgaff, but I still cannot call people as it says there is no service :/ I have reinstalled android and the signal strength is -95dBm and 0asu, is that a bad signal?

I just installed typhoon's cm7, but I had no such luck ;(
[HD2 General] Mister B:
try locking the radio to 2G GSM in settings & see if you can get on the GiffGaff network.

Try some other sims to help eliminate a network issue.
[HD2 General] speedyracer5:
I have enabled 2G in the android preferences on the typhoon rom, I have also inserted a different simcard (BT) and the same issue occurs :(

Could it be a radio issue? I have my suspicions that this is a refurb phone, could the antennas not be touching the chassis properly?
[HD2 General] speedyracer5:
I just wiped data/factory reset in the recovery, rebooted phone and got signal for about a second. I got two texts through and now the signal has gone, now it is at 0dbm and 0asu???? :(
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Sounds odd, try a WM6.5 rom such as NRG & one of the top radios such as linked in my sig & see if you get it working then move on to ROM of your choice or pin it down to hardware issue ...

I have a TMOUS HD2 & have used it fine on Orange, Vodafone in the UK. If issue persists on WM6.5 I would suspect hardware issue !
[HD2 General] speedyracer5:
Hey, cheers for trying to help!

I installed the stock WM6.5 rom and suddenly I got 5 texts and there were 4 bars of signal. A minute later all signal was gone and no matter how hard I tried I could not get any :(

This was after I opened up the phone and made some fixes.

It turns out the phone is a refurb unit that the seller was trying to sell as brand new! I was first alerted to this when I saw the original sticker seal was replaced with a Chinese one, and the grill near the earpiece had dirt in it. Most of the antenna prongs on the mainboard were bent down, so I bent them back up. All of the screws that were meant to be securing the main board down were also missing. This is a word of warning to those buying off ebay. The company I bought this off were a very large Chinese company, but it would appear that they refurbish phones, make them look new and try to sell them as new, and most of them work. The link to the seller is below:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/cellphoneforever

Do not buy from them!

Thanks for everyones help with this, I have given up trying to fix this piece of ****, anyone have any ideas what I can do with two broken HD2's? Any buyers?

It installs the App as far as I know but It's bugging me since some time (I flashed my phone about 3 times and the problem keeps happening).

Try to reinstall titanium. also make sure its the latest version. If none of that works install the free version and see if it makes a difference. :)

Hope this helps! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinchi:
When you flashed your phone did you do Factory Reset, Dalvik Cache Wipe, Battery Stats Wipe, and Cache Partition Wipe? Also make sure the basesband you're using is the most compatible for the ROMs you're flashing.

Only time I had problems with TB was when trying to restore apps from different frameworks. For example, trying to restore Sony Stock apps on a Cyanogen ROM or the other way around.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Right now I have one bar, now two. I would think it would be correct, but there is always the chance of hardware or software issue on your device. If you.check under network you can see if the signal dBm are changing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] godfirst:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Also rarely get less than 3 bars. I'm in LTE market in Chicago and I think with the LTE signal being strong and penetrating building better, it just leaves us with much better signal. I haven't been out of a consistent LTE coverage area since I got the HOX, so I can't say if signal weakens much on HSPA+, but I assume it would. Overall, I've been blown away by reception on the HOX so far.

Hi,

i upgraded from RR 1.8.1 to 2.0, i did everything as instructed (including removing old kernel files), after i booted the phone for the first time i noticed that i have moments when the screen is totally unresponsive, for instance sometimes when i wake my phone i can see the screen turn on but the capacitive buttons dont lite up and i cant unlock my phone, nothing responds, sometimes after about 5-10 secs the capacitive buttons turn on and my screen starts responding again... it also happens some times on answering calls and ending calls, same procedure.

has this happend to anyone? also on 1.8.1 i didn't have these problems...

one last thing i noticed that wifi glitches a bit, i turn wifi on but it doesn't connect to any network, saved or just random open but as soon as i turn it off and on again everything is back to normal. again didn't happen in 1.8.1?

i hope any one could help,

thanks in advanced...

thanks for the quick response i installed the new kernel, fingers crossed, it seems to make the phone respond quicker. ill try it out hopefully it will solve my problems :).

BTW i saw there is a new SiyahKernel v3.2.7.1, no link yet though, should i upgrade once it will be available?

Thanks again...
