[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.

I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.

All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.

The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

Pics..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] /b/laZ1n:
I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NCRoadster:
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.

It will not provide much drop protection though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neutopian:
I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] twoashj:
I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chris_b0ss:
Gta 3 :D it was and it continues to be a great game
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Demikos89:
Gta 3 ? The game is great but IMO is not good for our Mini. It lags too much, even with chainfire scripts or so... It is a great game if you have a phone like for example Galaxy S2 or S3, Note, Nexus and so on....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chris_b0ss:
If you overclock it to 700Mhz it will run ok.Also by replacing the audio files with modified ones(or remove them) the lagg will dissapear or at least you will be able to play it smooth.

I am playing on my Mini 2 and it's great :D but(for me) it's hard when i want to beat people :)) because most of the times they kill me :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrDante87:
raging thunder 2 (free) and third blade, nice game and very addictive

[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Thought I'd create this topic to raise awareness if anyone is sending their phone to HTC for a repair of a gap on their phone. My phone has a gap on the left hand side that dust and dirt collects in. I sent this phone back on the 10th of May to get this fixed, it was classified as an 'assembly gap', the phone was returned with a list saying everything that was replaced (motherboard/sound chip/vibrating motor), but the gap wasn't fixed. I sent the phone in again on the 25th of May being reassured it would be sorted this time (especially after my confusion as to why motherboards/motors/ect were being replaced for an assembly gap), and to my shock HTC emailed me a quote for repair this morning

Waiting for a response from CS now. HTC Chat told me the repair centre hadn't given enough reason as to why there was a quote, so it had to be investigated further. Sounds like repair trying to pull a fly one on an unsuspecting customer. Angry to say the least.

Phone is locked btw, I didn't even take it out the house/really use it at all when it came back because of the gap still being there (other than turning it on and sending 1~2 texts), so the phone is in the EXACT same condition as it was when repair sent it back.

As I said I want people to know about this for their own sake, and on a personal level I'd like to raise awareness and share with everyone what happens next.
[HTC One X] Stealthy Hunter:
they r cheaters....

.

.they should charge all the cost....

.

.

head directly to the main service store and talk to them face 2 face...

with some strong tone voice....

.

maybe there is mistake by the website...
[HTC One X] Genkville:
Dude, I had the same issue and my carrier is swapping my phone. HTC had to confirm that there was a fault but only did this via phone.

You spoke to the seller you bought it from? They're responsible under the sales of goods act, assuming you live in the UK.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I've returned directly to HTC myself, didn't go through my seller.
[HTC One X] jaaystott:
Depending on where you got it from you should not have had this issue.

If it's under 28 days, ANY company in the UK has to provide you with new handset. That's basic consumer law (so I've been told, so I'm open for correction) I've had a few One X's with manufacturer defaults, all were replaced by The Carphone Warehouse on the same day I went in with the problem.

I've not had the best experience with HTC and customer support. I sent a Desire off for repair around this time last year, after a month and a half I didn't have my device back.. eventually they sent a brand new one, but still ;)
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Just maybe OT: but how big is the gap? I mean I have a gap along the whole screen on both sides of the ring. So gap next to screen , the black ring (or how should I call it) again gap and then there is the PolyCarbonate or how its called.

The gap is as thick as paper I guess maybe little more and yeah dust gets in it. It doesn't bother me as much. Just wanna know how big is your gap that you returned the device?

And also why it should bother me. As I had next to my device a SGS II which had also gaps next to the screen as big as this and other phones as well.

Can the dust there be dangerous to the device itself?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
HTC chat told me the gap shouldn't be there, I explained it wasn't that large but allowed dust/dirt to get in. I explained the seal on the right of the phone didn't have any gap.

Btw there was also a bit of dirt trapped under the screen top right.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Update from HTC

If it reads funny it's because I've taken names out.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Consumer law is not quite as clear as that, but to all intents and purposes, you can assume that to be the case. Within 28 days you should never send for repair. Always insist on a replacement.

Just FYI, if you buy a new car and it has a fault, you cannot demand a new car within 28 days :)

Also, as said, the responsibility even after 28 days lies primarily with the seller and NOT the manufacturer. Many websites, including Amazon suggest that after 28-30 days, they wash their hands of anything to do with a problem. That is not the case at all.
[HTC One X] fatal exception:
That sucks, my brother had a similar problem too with his desire hd, it went on for months back and forth untill he decide to turn to the dark side and bought a 4s instead!
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
So HTC are asking their customers to pay to fix problems on the assembly line and their lack of quality control? Nice!
[HTC One X] muamers:
Sounds like we dont havent warranty, no matter is the bootloader unlocked, re-locked or locked ... nice HTC. That will be my last HTC for sure ...
[HTC One X] xko:
My last HTC also ...
[HTC One X] d33f:
Same here. Trying to get my yellow spots fixed, but customer care is keeping me in the dark for the second time ( first ticket was closed without any reply/reason, second one is still open with no further response after almost 3 weeks). I had enough of this bs, this is not the way to treat your customers.
[HTC One X] saranyan:
Here in India it seems better. Got my phone yesterday and noticed screen creaking when i got it home. I went to the HTC service center and they inspected it for 5 mins and gave me a DOA slip. Took that and my faulty phone back to the shop and they replaced it within 5 hours.

The customer care told me this is the procedure.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
To add a bit more to my story (as funnily enough HTC started out 'okay'), I got my first handset from affordablemobiles.co.uk for release. It was a serial #23, very bad screen flex and screen ripple.

AM don't do straight up exchanges, they take the phone back for inspection. At this stage right after release the screen flex/distortion scenario while starting to get 'fame' on XDA, wasn't as widespread in media yet. AM sent my phone back saying nothing was wrong with it. That angered me and someone suggested telling HTC to give them a kick up the arse and to exchange.

HTC however just asked me to send to them if my retailer was refusing an exchange. I did, and HTC actually sent me a new handset (although it COULD of been a refurb). It was a #24 serial.

This one had the gap at the side, and a misaligned camera ring. I sent it back to repair on the 10th as my comment in the first post in this topic. It came back unfixed yet with a nice list of all this other stuff repair supposedly changed (motherboard/motors/sound chips/ect).

I noticed this time as well dirt trapped under the screen at the top right, I assume this dirt was there when the handset initially was sent to me the first time but I had just missed it. My assumption for this is the repair note didn't say anything about repairing the screen, and the gap was still there, something that needs the screen repaired to fix. Therefore no one had done anything to the screen, quite clearly the issue I had sent the phone in for which was described clear as day on my repair note.

And now I'm left with a bill when HTC repair finally decide to repair the gap on the screen. What confuses me most is how I sent the phone in the first time for the gap and they'll happily exchange all the innards and send it back, but now they've changed their mind and have decided the gap they can now see is my fault, or not covered.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
what confuses me is that they did not say the reason why the warranty is not covering it for you
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
That confused the customer service as well, considering their response was we don't know enough as to why there is a quote :rolleyes:

This is why I've to now wait 2 days to find out. Must be scrambling to make up the best reason possible to charge me £169 :p Unfortunately for them they'll find that their bootloader is in it's precious "locked" state. It would be ridiculous anyway if they tried to say an unlocked bootloader caused an assembly gap.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
well you better hope they do not come up with an excuse that it was you who caused that gap and get you to pay for it. you never know with these companies. i feel for you mate cause like me you just want a phone that is perfect and that you can enjoy.

should be getting my one tomorrow. will let you know how i get on. but in your situation i would keep at them and not leave them alone till you get an answer...let me know how you get on bro:)
[HTC One X] ap70:
I am considering to sue HTC once I have the sam problem with my 3 days old phone. I bought from Expansys.ca and soon I opened it I saw a little gap between the glass and the body. I contacted HTC and they asked to send the phone to a service shop to be fixed. Hey its is a brand new phone, nothing to be fixed here. It is just a Quality Control issue and needs to be replaced under their own warranty statement. The phones come with a defective assemble. I want a new phoe at no extra cost or my money back. If they don't want give me that I am just getting it to court and I am sure I will win.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

Dear A.P,

I can definitely understand your being concerned about there being a gap between the top of the screen and the body of the phone. I’ll be glad to help you, Anderson. I would be extremely concerned about the gap in your phone. If you can actually see inside the phone, it’s very possible that humidity, sweat, and dirt can enter and damage the phone, even in the short term. I would first suggest contacting the retailer you purchased your One X from and see if they can exchange yours for a different one. If for some reason they cannot replace the device for you, we have a repair department that can service your device. You can contact them by calling 1-888-617-1113. They’re available from 06:00 am – 01:00 am EST, 7 days a week. Make sure you have your One X with you if you call, as they will need its serial number to process the repair.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.

OK as stated from above , I would like to know which chip on android phones is better at

Is it the s4 chip , Mali chip or tegra 3 chip ?

Tegra 3, see the benchmark results below.

Im not sure about the real difference in battery life but according to the referred site:

[Droid Pro General] retrobot:
Looking for a modified email.apk that would work with the droid pro. I would like one that bypasses the exchange pin policy so I dont have to type in a pin everytime i want to unlock my phone. Im getting so sick of having to enter a pin to unlock but still want my email/cal on my phone. I see a lot of them out there for other models of phones but not sure if any of them would work with the droid pro. Has anyone found one that works?

Also dont turn this into a "you should follow you IT dept security policy" thread.
[Droid Pro General] dettofatto:
Did you try with k9 mail?
[Droid Pro General] retrobot:
Yeah and that works too but I do really like the built in email app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaruSoul:
So I've read that if you have AT&T and you get the international phone you can get unlimited data for $10 a month?

1. How do I go about doing this? I give them the IMEI of my phone and tell them it is a different phone? What is an example of which phone I should give them.

2. Is it the same HSPA+ speeds?

3. Do they cap you after 2GB?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
there is no cap, and you never get slowed down. yes you get HSPA+

and you cannot get this anymore, because you had to have had it before they changed their plan.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
It's amazing.

You can still get it. I did it yesterday again. Their non smart phone data plan for 10 bucks (if you already have unlimited messaging) or 15 bucks if you don't have unlimited messaging is still there.

So here are the steps.

1. Before yesterday I was on 3GB $30 plan.

2. I took the simcard out of my at&t smart phone and put it in galaxy s3

3. Dialed 611

4. Asked operator to switch my data plan to 'non smart phone unlimited data' as I'm not using an at&t smart phone any more.

5. Operator asked for imei number. I provided the imei number from gs3

6. She said it's showing as an unknown phone so she will add the unlimited non smart phone data plan to it. (If she asked what kind of phone it is just say you have no idea. May be a Samsung phone.)

7. All set. Working unlimited data.

There is no cap on it. I'm gonna post a screen shot of hspa plus in my area.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
Ok so I downloaded GO sms pro and installed it on my g/f's phone for the two of us to use. However I'm not sure if it's actually sending free sms or not. Do I have to specifically launch some chat shell to get free messaging? Or does it automatically know I am sending to another GOSMS user and thus sends the message via internet instead of SMS?

I used to use WhatsApp because it would automatically know if your recipient had it installed and you never had to do anything extra to send a free message. It just worked automagically. But I get the feeling that GOSMS is still sending to other GOSMS users using the normal SMS route, and that you have to initiate some lame chat session like an instant messenger in order to actually send free messages, which is only good for that duration and introduces a lot of overhead to the whole messaging process.
[HTC Sensation] Vadwiser:
Hello all,

I am stock rooted on my Sensation XE and Id like to know if there is no other way around about this weird connection between ring volume level and notification volume level. Its at least a PIA!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

This connection became permanent with ICS.

Try "Volume Control" from the market.

It looks like it has sliders for each control.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Vadwiser:
There are Volume control and Volume control + in the market, both paid and free, but the issue remains the same: even if there separate sliders for ringtone and notifications, they move in the same time and there is no way to set them independently. Thanks for your answer.

What is the difference between updating via pc companion or flashtool ftf file? Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XclusionNL:
Would like to know this too, also, is there a "standard SI" or something, like a ftf that will work on any mini pro device with any si number?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kareemgonna:
I used one I found in the dev section. It works perfectly but I wanna be sure that I'mnot missing something
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XclusionNL:
You mean the generic version? That's like a standard version?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kareemgonna:
No it's for a certain SI numbers but I flashed it anyway because I couldn't wait :D but it works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] delmarz:
flashing SI in different phones is OKAY as long as you flashed in specific unit (like sk17i_4.0.4 for mini pro).. If your SI released this mean that you can now update tru SUS and PC companion with lock bootloader:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
It's not that a .ftf file will only work on certain SIs. Just, some SIs will get the update earlier. A generic firmware works fine on every phone. As long as it's meant to work on that model, of course.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OOHnirav:
Just got this phone yesterday (first android phone) and am loving it except trying to sync Facebook pictures to my manually added contacts.

In the Facebook's settings, I set it to only sync the contacts with only the contacts I already have in the phone. What I find when I look at my "contacts" list is everyone from my facebook listed. That is under the "phone" tab. If I look under the "people" tab, it is exactly what I want.

How can I make my list of contacts under the "phone" tab basically be the same as the list under "people"?
