Can somebody with the InvisibleShield answer this question?

[Touch Cruise General] :
The Invisible Shield looks great, but I have heard it might impair TouchFLO performance?

Would anyone with an Invisible Shield be able to comment on how realistic (or otherwise) the following video would be with one installed?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yTN4wC_ml8

I think a video is the best way to objectively judge how badly the sensitivity problem might affect some people and not others (youTube certainly helped me understand with video driver/TomTom problem).

I desperately want one an Invisible Shield to protect the entire Unit, but I also desperately want to be able to achieve Touch performance at least close to that shown in the video.
[Touch Cruise General] Tomate2:
Any more news about Invisible Shield?

Does it cover only 2,8" or does it cover the whole front?

Thanks,
[Touch Cruise General] JNGold:
Just ordered a Martin Fields protector over at Mobile Planet (Expansys). It covers the entire front (camera and speaker) of the device.

IMHO, the Invisible Shield is not a good protector for the screen of a touch-intensive device. I think it's more suited to a Smartphone product. The one I had ordered for my Treo 750 was very sticky and grainy and didn't feel as smooth as the WriteShields C2's that I had been using for years on my PDA devices.
[Touch Cruise General] :
Just to answer this question (I had curiosity too), the schematics here show that the cutout for the back door is separate to the rest of the shield:

Therefore, you should be able to remove the battery without needing to remove the Shield

Have you finally bought a Brando or a Martin screen protector?. If you have both, which one was better?

Just wondering, does anyone have any feedback on this?
[Touch Cruise General] profitoral:
Hi,

Just a comment on this,

I used the InvisibleShield with an Iphone for a while and I didn't find anything wrong about it, it didn't affect the usability of the touch screen, in fact the touch screen worked as well as if it didn't have the skin. It didn't feel exactly the same to the touch, of course, but as I said, it didn't affect the performance of the screen.

At least that's my experience, so I think it's more of a personal "taste" about liking the feel of it.

And also I have to say in BS favour that is extremely resistant to scratches, so if you want to protect your phone from scratches (not only the screen but the whole body) and you don't want to carry a bulky case/cover, BS might be a good choice.

Cheers.

Hi there,

I have ordered a Exim protector, I will post feedback when I receive it.
[Touch Cruise General] grgomes:
not bad...

Well, after a few weeks waiting, my invisible shield finally got here in Brazil...

Here are some comments that should help you decide about buying or not (i bought the full body one):

- The cut is very good, it does cover the full screen, and the full piece too! it has hard btns protector, side and back protectors also.

- Yes, you can open the battery slot with no problems. The protector is cut in lots of small pieces

- Application is a pain in the ass. Can´t cover the whole unit without leaving some bubbles on it. They are indeed disappearing - the manufacturer says it should go away within 2 or 3 days. I´m on 2nd and some are still there

- The appearance of the unit is completely different. Be ready to look to a little uglier phone from this time. (the shield makes it more shinny, personally dont like it)

- now to the important facts: the sensibility, in my opinion, has indeed not been affected. The response is quite the same (of the HTC provided protector), except that sometimes in a screen upward movement, the finger can get a little chucky (because of the plastic material). In general, no problems with touchflo nor with the stylus.

- fingerprints problem almost solved. The prints have dramatically been reduced.

- one concern that has not been said so far: the unit seems to heat itself much more than before. Probally because I used the full body protector. Maybe using only the screen protector should reduce the heat, and therefore preserve the unit longlife.

Well, hope this will help you someway.

I just got a Brando protector and it sucks. It does not fit the screen dimensions as good as the native htc protector did, and they were really lazy to make two small holes for the camera and ear, but instead made one huge cut.

Why would you charge with this as opposed to the included stock charger? It just looks so cheap compared to so many other options out there for the same price point. I know you got it for free and are obligated now to them for a review...I will look elsewhere for my alarm and charging needs. Cheers
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
That´s a good question. I think that the charging function is a bonus feature and is meant to be used with standard smartphones which charge at a current of roughly 1A. I didn´t look around if you can find a Alarm Clock with a built in USB Type C charger? Well, these items are pretty generic and you cannot write too much about them.

Maybe there are some elite versions available with eg. a case made out of brushed metall.

Btw, the Clock visible in the last picture (the green one) is built in the 70s, uses VFD Tubes but unfortunately doesn´t have any Alarm function. It´s nice to see though that old devices can still work after such a long time.

Hey guys,

I am thinking of rooting my Motorola X 2nd Gen and so far I have found older and more outdated ways of rooting the phone.

I have never done anything like this with phones so I will need some guidance to make sure I don't mess anything up.

I have done some research and have watched many YouTube videos on how to root the phone but many of them show the phone with older versions of Android and in the comments it says that that way of rooting the phone will not work with 5.1. If it is useful, my phone is originally from AT&T and after I finished the two year contract with them I had them unlock it and I am not with Ting. Not sure if that info is necessary but might as well provide as much as I can.

Anyways, my question for you is if there are any guides to root my phone that are current and are proven to work.

I really appreciate your time and your help.

Let me know if I can provide any more information that will help you in helping me!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedkpagonis:
So I'm using this ROM and everything works fairly well.

The issue is that apps like Gmail, Hangouts, Keep (all of which I got from the play store), etc say that I need to upgrade my Google Play Services for them to work. My GPS version is 7.8.87 and if I update it through the play store, it starts crashing repeatedly. I've tried a few different ones on APK mirror (granted I'm not exactly sure what version is the "correct" one) and none have worked.

Do I need to just figure out what version works for this ROM, or try a different GApps package? I'm a bit of a newb so sorry if I'm way off base.

Having Bluetooth "Handsfree" and A2DP connected at same time causing severe skipping

Hi....I know there are a lot of posts regarding skipping while playing MP3s over A2DP. My problem is perhaps a little bit different because I've narrowed my problem down to the handsfree bluetooth service.

Here's my situation with my unlocked HTC TyTN II using the stock HTC ROM and with no registiry modifications (bitpool, etc)

If I have only A2DP connected and streaming music to an external bluetooth receiver the MP3 playback is flawless. It sounds fantastic. I've tried Windows Media Player, PocketMusic, and PocketPlayer and they all work just great.

However, when I turn on my handsfree headset (which is a separate device from my A2DP receiver) and allow it to connect to my TyTN II, extreme stuttering immediately occurs through the A2DP music stream. When I shut off my handsfree headset the stuttering stops and the music stream returns to its usual fantastic sound. The problem can be replicated also by leaving the handsfree headset powered ON and simply enabling handsfree service on the HTC TyTN II to cause the stuttering to begin. The stuttering stops immediately when handsfree service is subsequently disabled.

Anyone else out their experience this? Any suggestions? For the time being I have to resort to disabling handsfree when streaming music to my A2DP bluetooth receiver.

Skipping/Cutting out/Speeding Up/Slowing down

Not much to add other than 'Me Too!' and thanks for tracking this down since i thought i was going nuts since I've had a couple of times where i thought i had it resolved only for it to crop up again.

Are you also experiencing your A2DP audio speeding up and slowing down along with the audio cutting out? since to me that is the most bizarre of all of the audio freakery going on.

I found my Logitech handsfree less likely to cause cut outs when on than my Jawbone does. but neither were trouble free.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rumball:
Just an update for those that may experience the same problem as me. I've noticed that sometimes I have perfect audio even though I am connected to my handsfree car system while streaming music via A2DP. So this leads me to believe that bitpool settings and such are not the issue...since the perfect audio can occur with the default settings. I have also heard in other threads that flashing a new radio may help...but haven't gone to that measure yet.

What I have been able to determine is that this horrible skipping/stuttering occurs when my phone is changing cell phone towers.

That is, if

1) Streaming audio over bluetooth via A2DP

AND

2) Tytn II also connected to a handsfree device

then A2DP skips horribly when the phone needs to switch cell towers.

I have confirmed this by using the program PhoneAlarm to log the cell phone towers my phone is connected to. My A2DP stuttering/skipping problem coincides with every change in cell phone tower.

Now having said all this there is still one other factor that plays into it that I haven't quite figured out. If I soft reset my device and then immediately connect to my car and A2DP stereo then I do not get the stuttering problem when changing cell phone towers. However if I spend the day using the device, active-syncing and such at work, then on the drive home I will ALWAYS get the stuttering during every cell phone tower hand-over.

Frustrating. Anyway...hopefully I'll eventually figure out the last piece of the puzzle. I would rather not have to soft reset every time I get in my car just so that I can get good audio.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Rumball:

Yet another A2DP skipping problem

I seem to have related but a different problem with skipping.

I have both Sony and goldlantern BT headphones which i tried (stereo profile).

Both severely skip audio when located on the left side of my belt. Silly but the reception/skipping problems improves a GREAT deal when i move it to the right side. It works flawlessly inside of the building where i have no phone signal but outside -- it skips horribly, even worse after 6.1rom upgrade.

Can anyone confirm that the BT signal going through the body worsens skipping? If so, I assume the signal strength/BT/wireless channel may be at fault, not the tower switching as for me, it happens even when I stay stationary.

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jallenclark:
I think part of the problem can be the A2DP device as well. I had a pair ofr HT 820 older bluetooth headsets with A2DP that were skipping and annoying. I went out and bought some s9s and the problem went away. I figured just for a test I would try the HT820 out again, still skipping. So for me it was not the phone but the A2DP device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gs465:
i thought that too but i have two different headsets from two different manufacturers, both are skipping the same...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
A2DP requires a lot of the bandwidth Bluetooth can provide. Having a 2nd connection open simply exceeds what the Bluetooth chip can handle, no surprise in that. If the BT headset keeps the connection open it's very likely to happen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gs465:
what do you mean by a SECOND CONNECTION?

i have 2 different headsets because i thought that i have a poor headset, but both work similarly bad, which makes me think it is the tilt, not the headphones. i do not have 2 connections, never has it and not even sure if it is possible....

Lowering of bitrate did not help at all.....

Anyone have experienced these problems? anyone is using BT headset besides motorola s9?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Wilhelm:
On mine it does it when it picks up a wi-fi hotspot. When I'm driving the wi-fi is on when the screen is and whenever I pass a hot spot it drops out. Turning the wi-fi off solved it. Don't know if it does it with cell towers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
The thread was initially about skipping when BOTH an A2DP stereo headset AND a BT handsfree were connected at the same time, as the title shows. I was commenting on that.

Other than this, when I want to listen to music I can leave the Kaiser in my room and walk around in my entire flat with the headphones on without skipping (around 10-15m straight line, with some walls).

However, Wifi must not be active and communicating, otherwise either / both of them will drop. If I'm using Wifi and start streaming audio via A2DP, the wifi will slow down a lot and sometimes disconnect. In the same way if Wifi is communicating the audio will skip. If both of them are active but one is idle everything's fine. But that's also normal as both share the same frequencies and will step on each other. When usage is low it's not noticeable but when both are using a lot of bandwidth then they will disturb each other.

The cell radio doesn't seem to cause any problems for me.
