Mine always has fingerprint smudges, dust etc on the screen. It got to a point that I don't even worry about it anymore. I just clean it every couple of days or so. It doesn't last of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VoltageNZ:
Mine does gather a little dust under the edges of the case but nothing a quick wipe doesn't take care of.

I beg to differ about the screen durability though, it hardly smudges in comparison to my old U8800 or my Asus TFP and I'm yet to find even light scratching despite some brushes against metal buttons etc. *touch wood*.

Very happy GN user here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Mine doesnt gather dust, although perhaps its because I have a screen protector on it so maybe that helps it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwhead24:
Just need to wash them dirty jeans
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I like Samsung phones because the screen is sealed so dirt from outside can't get underneath the screen. Though I guess that might make it harder to change digitizer though I haven't have broke any screens yet.

I use screen protector and TPU case, I don't really worry about dirt. Usually an easy wipe from the palm is enough if there are dirt.

You could try the XGear EXOSkin. The slippy surface of the skin maybe prevent dirts sticking.

without a case...my nexus is not a bad dust magnet at all

on the second day I had my nexus, a huge huge huge spider landed on my shoulder outside, my phone flew about 8 feet up in the air...totaling a drop of about 14 feet onto solid concrete. Luckilly it was in my trusty ballistics case I got in the mail the same day as my phone, it came out totally unscathed. After that (and the whole US-ban issue) im afraid to even take it out of the case at all...

Upon further inspection of the ballistics case, I actually found a very small device embedded in the rubber that does not attract dust...but actually creates it from the surrounding non-phone matter (mainly just air molecules as my pants seem fine). Im gonna call the local news stations tomorrow, this will probably be bigger news than the higgons boson.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I think your paranoid most screens gather dust.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
My TPU case loves dust and things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devator22:
I actually commented on this exact topic to my mom recently. My inc2 never seemed to have more than the standard finger smudges on its screen. I clean my gnex all nice with a soft cloth, set it down, and five minutes later it looks like I haven't cleaned it in a week with all the dust on it. I don't know why, but it definitely makes dust more noticeable, if it doesn't attract it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Jeez, if it isn't hardware failure or software, it's something else. Now it's the dust and smudges. You people are paranoid.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techphets:
I'm considering trying CM7 but I want to ensure that I can change back to the stock ROM on my Atrix 4G (AT&T). I am currently running 2.3.6 / 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.us.

I have tried searching the forums and found myself lost in many different threads and still have no clear understanding of a few things here.

I've read about SBF and Fruitcake files. Will either of those return my phone to the stock condition (or at least make it function the same way)? Is there a way to make a backup of my current ROM or download it from Motorola so that I can flash back to it? I saw Fruitcakes have 2.3.6 from "test servers." Are these reliable?

I'm also curious if I can now go back to 2.3.4 with the Fruitcakes. I was under the impression that after an OTA update it was previously impossible to downgrade. Has this now change?

Thank you for your time,

Techphets.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techphets:
Also, I'm a bit confused what version number would be used to actually identify the ROM, 2.3.6 or 4.5.141? Thanks again.

Flash away. You will be able to go back to stock using sbf. I wish someone would make a YouTube video to how other users it is safe to do so.

Look for the unlock thread here in xda.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
I got in a SK4g for my wife intent on upgrading her current phone. I own a 4g myself, and have Rooted/ROM'd it with no issues, we we thought it best to get her the same phone for ease of use/manipulation.

I got the phone in and used superoneclick to root it, then went through the process of putting CWM in place and installing GenericGinger_2.0_SK4G. The process ran smooth as glass (as expected) until it got to reboot. On reboot it hung up on the sidekick screen. After about an hour of waiting I pulled the battery and restarted the machine.

It came back up in recovery mode with the stock recovery (blue) text. Since then I haven't been able to get it to do anything but restart into that recovery screen. Odin doesn't see the phone in download mode and t839-Sidekick4G-UVKG2-One-Click does nothing. It shows it uploading, reboots the phone, and I'm back at the blue text. flashing the bootloaders with One-Click shows success on everything *except* uploading the bootloaders. If I tell it to re-install packages I get a 'cannot validate signature' response. I've tried using android commander to push CWM's recovery file to the phone and get 'permission' denied.

I've done a lot of searching on this site, trying most suggested fixes I've come across with no luck.

what can be done with this phone to get it back in operating condition?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
try installing kies odin wouldnt see my phone until i installed it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
Kies installed and Odin saw the phone. excellent, thanks!

now, the next issue... lol

I used Odin to push KD1OdinSTOCK onto the phone. it's doing more than it was (going to the initial sidekick screen then dumping to recovery). Now it'll load through the sidekick and samsung splash screens, then reset and do it again. The same thing happens when I tried StockKG2ODIN. I'm using the sk4g.pit that I pulled from this site, could that have anything to do with it/is there another one around that I could try? Anybody have thoughts or ideas on what to do next? I've tried using t839-Sidekick4G-UVKG2-One-Click again, but it nuked the drivers kies put into place and dropped the phone back to what it was doing before.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
okay, I did some light reading of this thread here

and followed the directions closely. I also went through sduvick's list of things to do with the following results:

Black screen, no logo.

1. Get into download mode by using VolDown+Touchpad+Power

2. flash full sk4g.tar.md5 as posted.

device will boot through the logo and splash screens, then repeat. note: if I leave the USB cable plugged in on reboot it will go to the battery screen, otherwise it just boot loops.

_________________________________

logo only

1. Download mode

2. Flash full package

device boot loops

_________________________________

Can't flash recovery/boot/sbl

1. Download mode

2. use PIT only, run with repartition checked

3. reboot/reDownload mode

4. run the full image in Odin.

PIT only returns a black screen on the device. running the full image in afterward returns to the boot loop.

_________________________________

Anything else

1. Download mode

2. Full tar.md5 flash in Odin

3. Ask if it doesn't work

okay, so I'm asking...

I'm still able to boot into recovery mode (blue text).

I've noted a bit of strange behavior when trying to boot into download mode. holding vol down + trackball + power does nothing. however, if I plug the phone in while powered down while holding down the trackball it'll boot into download mode, no power or vol down required.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
If you can't flash with Odin, you may have a hardware problem.

Judging from your issue with installing Kies, you had a driver problem previously.

Seems that you are bumbling in the dark here. Once again, people need to be better prepared to Odin their devices before they start modding them.

In fact, getting Odin working should be the first thing a person should do with their phone after rooting and installing CWM.

Anyhow, try a different version of Odin. If that doesn't clear up your problem, I suspect some bad blocks in your flash memory are responsible here. It's a dorment issue that would really only be a problem when you flashed the device. If that's the case, you have a new paperweight.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
i never could get kd1 to work try kg2

use pit check repartion and place tar file in pda
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
I don't think the problem is that I can't flash with Odin, but that the device isn't loading the ROM that's flashed. poking around in the filestructure with android commander after a fresh load shows that the system makes it onto the phone.

Speaking of poking around with Android Commander, I've noted that the device is software rooted, but not hardware rooted. the default.class file shows ro.debuggable set at 0 where it should be 1. this is keeping me from just pushing the CWM recovery onto the system and restoring the backup I made before getting into this mess. Anybody want to help me pull/edit/flash the image to change that? :D

As for a driver issue, that's a good possibility given that the one-click uses a driver set, kies mini uses another, kies has a different one yet and we (as a community) started screwing with the t839's using vibrant drivers. I've got them all. thusfar the only drivers I've found that work with both flavors of Odin I have (1.61 and 1.85) would be those that came with the Kies (thanks for the tip pmp326).

On bumbling in the dark, yes, yes I am. There isn't much of an instruction manual for Odin past what's written here, and 90% of that is 'put your phone in download mode, connect Odin, plug the pit in pit and the tar in PDA make sure only auto-reboot is checked and hit start'. to be honest I haven't had to use the program previously as the stock one-click actually worked on my T839. This new device is being ... difficult.

the dormant bad blocks issue you spoke about, was this something found in new-out-the-box phones? I haven't seen a lot about that in the threads, can you point in at more info, please?

at any rate, it doesn't matter which version of Odin I use, I got the same result from both. I tried using a different cable/different USB port as well. I haven't tried using a different system (yet), but don't want to go through all the trouble of setting up everything on another box. Win7 is finicky enough, trying to get everything operating on Server2k3 would most likely end up a challenge. *lol*

I'll try repartitioning with KG1 when I get back to the house.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Sounds like you are getting far enough to get your device working again to me.

If you can manage to get access to the file system with adb or Android Commander, you may be able to push the rest of the OS files you need directly. This may provide a way to get around your flashing problems.

Try adding the missing files directly with Android Commander.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pmp326:
also i had some troubles a while back while in recovery wipe data and cache turn off phone pull sd card then flash with odin
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
I've gotta pop the debug lock in the default.class to be able to push anything into the system folders with Android Commander. I've found a nice walk-thru to do this, it just requires a little knowledge of c++ and some patience. with any luck I should be able to pull default.class out of its img, edit it and flash that back (most likely with Heimdall since it can do itemized flashing).

tried it, no joy.

tried this, brings me back to the boot loop.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
currently I'm running into issues with getting ADB to push onto the system as the system is claiming it isn't rooted. Is there a way I haven't read about or found to root the phone without getting into the actual O/S (i.e. from the blue recovery screen)?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
If you can get in to CWM Recovery you are fine.

If you cannot, just ODIN to stock.

If you cannot do that, or it doesn't boot after that, try a different PC, os, or drivers (x86 os is usually easier then an x64 os).

If it is still no good, buy a new phone on ebay :).

Once booted, Root and install CWM first thing.

Once you are in CWM Recovery...

1) Check mounts (everything should be mounted, and therefore read "unmount [...]")

2) Format EVERYTHING one at a time: cache, data, system, sdcard (optional).

(sdcard should be fine, but to be sure you can format it too after backing it up to PC first and restore what you need after)

(you probably don't need to Wipe and Wipe-Dalvik as they should already be gone, but go ahead and do it anyway)

3) Check mounts again!

4) Install a ROM (must reload it to your sdcard first if you formatted your sdcard)

5) Check mounts one final time before rebooting.

That should ALWAYS work.

NOTE: This was said before: "2. flash full sk4g.tar.md5 as posted.", but that doesn't seem right... you should not be flashing a .md5 file... you need to flash the .tar... the .tar.md5 is just a checksum. (right?)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
Wow... did you even *read* before posting? fail. I mean, thanks for taking the time to write that up and all, but you just repeated everything already said up to this point and included a summary of the ROM for n00bs thread.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
I like turtles.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Even the end... I mean, your not trying to odin a "tar.md5" are you?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Artemis257:
No....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
Sorry man. I've never had to ODIN (this phone). I say check the md5 to make sure you downloaded a good copy, and maybe try a different USB cable. The ADB method seems nutz... if it doesn't boot after a successful ODIN, the phone is probably a paperweight.

Good luck!

If the operation involves touch, its never too big to control. Galaxy Note's One handed operation options can also be used to limitize spacing..

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ul49:
Here are some things that are really driving me crazy, to the point where I'm considering returning the phone for the s3 or iPhone:

-Sending sms messages (using handcent app) I often get the 'unable to send message' notification, even when I have full service. The notification repeats over and over again until I delete the message.

-Google voice voicemails not sending notifications. I can't see if I have any received any voicemails until I open google voice and all the sudden all the notifications come in.

-no 'favorites' tab on the phone app. Favorites exist under groups, but for some reason you can't put the favorites down on the menu to make quick calls easier.

-uploading photos to facebook using 'facebook for htc sense' or regular facebook app often freeze part-way through, even with good wifi connection.

-Often times when I delete emails on the gmail app they still appear in my inbox when I view gmail on my computer. Also can't seem to make gmail automatically update upon opening.

-CALENDAR NOTIFICATIONS: Even when I turned off the facebook calendar sync so I wouldn't get 20 birthday reminders every day, the notifications still won't go away. Anything I put in the calendar pops up on the lock screen every single time, even the day before sometimes. Should I use a different calendar app? I like using the 'productivity' lock screen, but this "feature" is killing me.

Would rooting/ROMing fix these issues? I'm afraid to do it because I'd still like to be able to return the phone if the issues persist.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
It's a new device htc, and our devs are still fixing bugs. But with a thread title like that, it wouldnprobably be best of you returned it.

But a few of you issues are know, and some are user related. I don't think Gmail has ever auto updated when opened just click the refresh button.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
1. Use the stock SMS app and see if it still happens. You can't get mad at a phone if you aren't using the app meant for it. Switching phones won't fix this issue.

2. Thats due to crappy multitasking, check out one of the Custom ROMs out there or Scott's multitasking fix. Or one of the AOSP ROMs.

3. You can add favorite people to the homescreens. And I believe this is not unique to this phone.

4. Try a custom ROM, I've never had that issue.

5. Thats the normal way the gmail app behaves. Its not weird or this phone's fault.

6. You need to disable what calendars you want to see and which you don't. Its somewhere under settings inside the calendar app, google it. I had this same quibble but i fixed it by finding the setting for it. Disable "Facebook Birthdays" or something as a calendar.
