[One (M7) Accessories] downbringer:
what I find is the easiest method of applying a film screen protector and worked for me for 2 years whilst working in a vodafone store is the following:

1) ensure the screen is clean of dust, a good cloth in a relatively clean environment does the job, if not do it near a boiling kettle.

2) before peeling off the first layer line the screen protector up along the top of the handset, where you would like it begin. (for the htc one, it would be just below the top speaker grill),

3) peel back the first layer only slightly, line and up press down adhesive side with the top of the handset, easiest done with the top of the handset facing away from you. (benefit of this is, you've pulled the whole thing off and it's less likely to catch dust if only a small part of the protector is visible to wilderness.

4) with the top of the protector adhered to your screen, swivel the phone around so the top is closest to you without letting the protector move from it's position,

5) from here, it is a simple task of taking a piece of cardboard or hard paper and gently push forward from the top, whilst slowing peeling back the bottom plastic until you're at the bottom.

6) you may have some small bubbles right on the bottom edge of your protector, just use your thumb or the paper to gently squeeze them out.

Works for me 90% of the time. Also depends somewhat on the quality of the protector. But I would recommend a Glas.Tr or MIME type protector.
[One (M7) Accessories] PcFish:
I love that dust remover that came with the mime. I covered the whole screen, ripped it off and put the glass one on in less than a second.
[One (M7) Accessories] Seraphicus:
I bought mine from mobilefun.com. Don't remember exactly which, but it was one of the "premium" ones (not cheapest). From a 5-pack I got it perfect on the 4th try! Be patient and read the insructions carefully (which I didn't before the 3rd try) hehe ...
[One (M7) Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
OK, i read no instructions apart from which tab to pull of first on the protector, i cleaned the screen with the included cloth, no steamy room or anything, it took me five attempt's to get the protector in the right place and there were bubbles galore, but i managed to get them all out, no dust underneath that i can see so i wasted no screen protectors i still have two left. :o

[One (M7) Accessories] homer285:
Three things are recommended, dust removing sticker, microfiber cloth and a room with heated vapor such as a bathroom, after you have showered(dont take device in during shower).
[One (M7) Accessories] leDev13:
I got some cheap matte ones from eBay... They are truly awsome and fit the whole screen(you must be pro master on fittin screen protectors)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/35084675949...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

My secret for fitting perfectly is to hold your screen down after wipin all the dust while getting the protector ready itself... Once I put it on without any dust under ir, I press it very hard and move it in direction where I need if not correctly positioned... When its just sticked on, you can still move it slighty - thats all it takes to get those 0,1mm right :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:
Hi, I have just bought an unrooted Wildfire to root and play about with.

However the phone has a weird battery problem

The battery never fully charges - the battery icon only shows amber and quickly goes to red and says only 1-2% left, BUT, the battery is fully charged and the phone will run all day long without problems.

Question - It looks like whatever measures the battery has got it wrong somehow - can this be reset?

Any other advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pator57:
Go into recovery, wipe cache/dalvic cache and battery stat.

It should fix this bug.If not, flash custom rom, like buzz-fire or reincarnation v3.0.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:
Thanks for this info!

The Wildfire I have is not rooted and had android 2.2.1, Hboot 1.01.0002, with s-on.

I have looked at various threads and getting it into recovery will be a challenge!

Are there any threads/procedures you would recommend?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
Unfortunately there's no real solution for this issue. Various people faced this issue.

I face this too, but I have a silly workaround for this. Charge the phone, when you feel it's completely charged, just turn it off, now connect it to charger while it's off. now turn the phone on with charger being connected, it should show full battery. Hope this helps.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craigmill:

similiar to this one here

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2013-Google-...rs_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item4859a8cca4&_uhb=1

if yes, how is it, thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] wd5gnr:
I have one for 25 off an amazon seller. Works great. The keyboard is magnetic so you can remove it and use it detached which is cool.

Three negative that are not bad. First it does make it thick. about like a day planner, not bad. Two the keyboard is small as you would expect but it has nice travel and is quite usable. The third thing is that in landscape the edge of the screen can slip below the leather lip. If you use a hidden pie menu you might need to increase its target size to handle that.

But those are all minor. I like it. A HDMI adapter and this works well in a hotel for working.

can i convert my dvd collection to a format small enough to fit onto my 1 gb sd card. copying my dvd collection is not legal as long as i have an original copy at my home, correct?

i have got dvdshrink, can i use this to shrink dvd's to a pda exec size?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oltp:

Pocketdivxencoder to shrink them to ±250MB each

TCPMP to play them on your Universal.

Converting dvd to SD

There is a software called " dvd studio" it's meant to be really good. you can buy it on pocketgear I think.

PocketDivxEncoder is free :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lohwj:
what settings do you usually use to get the dvds to that size?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
DVD shrink to backup a re-authored copy (remove the menus and other unneccessary frippery) (free)

AutoGordianKnot to convert the films down to 300Mb (ish) each (free)

TCPMP player to view (free).

Standard qvga (320*240) biggest problem is the sound, that must be good. So I'm still tweaking for best results. Have good experience with the wmv format too. Pretty compact & good quality. I downloaded a free Microsoft converter somewhere for this, but handles like hell.

And of course TCPMP as a player!

i went to the tcpmp site, i geuss i should download this file tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe, correct?

tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe

tcpmp.sh3.cabs.0.71.zip

tcpmp.smartphone.0.71.exe

convert straight from dvd using pocketdivxencode ??

will the xda exec have juice for 13 hours?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oltp:
It depends on your cpu, which to download. For magician it is arm (pxa272), since a universal got a pxa270 you should download the same arm version.

Point PocketDiVXencoder to the first vob of the movie & go

M
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
Not if it is "protected". Use DVDDecrypter to rip the DVD contents to .VOB files, then PocketDivXEncoder to convert and compress these into avi for TCPMP.

AnyDVD ain't free, better results with newer protection systems & you can run straight from DVD ;-)

thanks for the replies guys

i downloaded tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip and when i unzipped it, i ended up with 5 files. i was expecting an exe file and i saw the following files.

readme.txt

tcpmp.arm720_ce3.cab

tcpmp.arm_ce2.cab

tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab

tcpmp.arm_sp.cab

does arm720 mean that it is an ARM 7 processor, i thought the universal had an xscale in it. i went through the readme file the cab files seem to be for wince 2.xx, 3.xx and 4.xx

does not the xda exec have a windoes mobile version 5.0

should i use one of the above for tcpmp, also it is a .cab file, do i copy the cab file to a location on my xda.

if i need to copy it, can i copy it to my sd card memory?

hey i did a bit of searching and came across an exe file which i have downloaded from http://www.tcmp.org/

if this is the player tcmp4.exe then what do i do with the .cab files

also when i start up pocketdivxencoder

i select my device as smartphone (leftmost option), is that the right option for the xda exec

P.S. is there a way i can unzip zipped files on my xda?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] oltp:
Before installing the cab-file, get a copy of cabinstl first. With cabinstl you can decide yourself where a cab installs.

I'd go for tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab, if it's not correct you can always try another, & no you have a PPC & not a SMART PHONE :!:.

With Resco Explorer you can unzip on your PPC, PocketRar is nice as well & there's a stand-alone zip which I got from TMO in my ext-roms ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...L_1.13.125/Zip_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC20.CAB maybe it works on your device too. Didn't found a universal variant.

Don't know about that exe file, but you can always uninstall it. Or make a backup first with Sprite Backup.

tcmp rocks. i managed to get an avi file based on a dvd playing on my xda.

i had one question, a dvd is composed of multiple vob files, say vob1, vob2 and vob3, this means that i end up with 3 avi files, myavi1.avi, myavi2.avi, myavi3.avi, is there any way i can end up with a single avi file?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glump2806:
I use Video Convert Master 3.0 from

It gives the option convert anything, from file or DVD disk direct, (although never used this i tend to start with the avi and need to reduce the size)

anywhoo it will convert to Mpg RM WMV AVI and DVD, there are seperate profiles for converting and within WMV there is an option for POCKETPC (windows media video 9 for pocket pc) which will encode the file to the correct screen size etc, TCPMP sorted the need for this being able to play avi direct.

You can limit the output file size to 170meg also it has the 'priceless' option of entering multiple video files and it will automatically combine them onto one file,

Hope this helps,

http://www.video-convert-master.com

Also the files you mentioned in TCPMP zip file,

I have found that there are two display types for TCPMP, the menu bar can be at the top as normal or switched to be at the bottom with the player functions at the top.

Good in theroy and does look nice, personally i dont like my handset having that much work to do when coming out of watching a film, has caused issues for my software overloaded pda in the past.

So the files as i know them are

tcpmp.arm720_ce3.cab - doesnt work, (on (my) 2003 anway)

tcpmp.arm_ce2.cab - Cab file for UPSIDE DOWN VIEW

tcpmp.arm_ce3.cab - Cab file for NORMAL VIEW

tcpmp.arm_sp.cab - Never used it dont know.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_guy:
Sweet

what's the limitation of the trial version of video convert master?

i have installed the tcpmp in the external sd card, it should not overload the software right?

interestingly enough when i removed the sd card, the tcpmp icon was stilll in the programs, but obviously would not start

how do you switch between the two display modes of tcpmp

i have installed the ce3.cab, would the ce2.cab give me an additional view
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] glump2806:
I never managed to find a way of changing between the two displays in TCPMP,

I adopted the upside down view after re-instal, tried in settings to put it back to normal but failed. Finally found installing on the second cab works, this was enough for me so i never looked any further into it, but yeah the ce2 and ce3 cabs contain different views,

To be honest i cant remember the limits of V C M in the trial mode, i have had it installed for a while, dont even remember where it came from, think it may have been bundled with something else, think there is a limit on the lengh of time it will encode not sure.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_guy:
thanks for the reply

so we cant switch between views

Re: shrinking dvd filsm to a size which can fit on an sd car

TCPMP is the best player but DVD Catalyst (http://pocketdvd.ca) is the best DVD converter. Great UI and under $20. It is well worth not having to hassle with manual settings of "free" converters. Their support is first rate too. I have watched over 20 movies on my JasJar and love it.

You have a quadcore at 2,26 Ghz device, under certain conditions (heavy games, browsing in 4g, long run heavy tasks, etc...) it's absolutely normal that the phone runs hot...

In any case there is a thermal protection (as you observed) called thermal throttling that reduces the CPU freq, the number of cores online and the screen brightness when the CPU (and/or battery) reaches some different temperature ranges, so no worries...

Question for the expert:

I have a slim case on mine , the Ringke Slim.

The phone tends to get really warm after being used for gps purposes (maps, or gps speed).

I'm wondering if i'm suffocating the phone and making it worse ? Because the case is really really warm, so that means the phone itself must've been hot then ??

The screen is warm too when the back gets really warm.

I just don't wanna damage the battery since i read that heat is battery's #1 enemy,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
With GPS it's normal also that the phone runs hot...

Yes maybe the slim case could retain heat, check your CPU/battery temperatures while you use the GPS with and without your slim case to see how it may retain heat (try to test under the same conditions of test like room temperature).

But guys... in all scenarios there is the thermal throttling, and it does its job when needed. In extreme conditions the phone shutdown itself to prevent any damage. Use your phone as normal, as you need... Or don't use GPS, don't play games, don't run benchs :D

It's a quadcore at 2,26 Ghz completely enclosed without any additional cooling system, so...

It remembers me the Nexus 4 all these threads/questions about "pseudo" heating/overheating...

Check your temperatures and provide them to have an approach a bit more real, because "it feels hot" etc... is very subjective...
