How many of you are using a screen protector?

I just can't install this damn thing without making bubbles between the screen

and the screen protector.

Tried putting invisible shield today which covers the entire device. it came with

some spray to avoid dust but i'm still not happy with it. on the back it's ok, but

the front shield was so ugly and unclear that made me to remove it and now

i'm with no front protector at all.

The screen is more clear now but i'm afraid to scratch it.

Does anyone know how to install the screen protector in a way which it will be

totally unnoticeable?
[Touch HD General] Jezwick:
I haven't ever used one, I find they make the screen less responsive. I do have a few scratches on my screen though but they are invisible when the screen is backlit...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Your screen protector is a must as scratches can appear on your screen very easily without it.

As for the bubbles I've managed to get mine on with only a couple of bubbles around the speaker & 3G camera. Doesn't bother me to much any more

Try this thread as it has a number of recommendations on which is the best screen protector to use
[Touch HD General] spasovxda:
Yes, the screen protector is a must!

Especially for a device with such a huge display. I have read here about cracked displays and I am sure that screen protectors give added resistance against cracking (besides their primary function against scratches).

It takes PATIENCE to apply one though. I wasted 2 before i managed to put one flawlessly (well almost) ;)

Some of the protectors can be washed and re-applied.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Do you really think it has some impact on the way the screen respond ? Does the screen protector makes the bends more noticeable when you press on the center of the screen ?
[Touch HD General] Moandal:
I've used my Universal for over 3 years with no scrren protector, and there is a mark in the top right where the X icon is but no other issues. However the Universal is a clam shell design so the scrren is protected when it's in my pocket. I don't think I'd want to use the HD without one.

I couldn't fit the screen protector that came with the HD properly because it has to be done with microscopic precision. However I bought 6 protecoter for £3 on Ebay from Ecell and am very happy. They're much easier to fit because they're a fraction smaller, plus you can use a couple to practice with and still have spares left over.
[Touch HD General] Rozenthal:
I use the protector from day one and I can't imagine not using it. It's just too much of a risk, and by watching my used protectors, how they're covered with scratches, some of them quite big and quite deep. I would not want to have this permanently on my screen.

I have bought some additional protectors as well. I predict I will be changing protectors every 3 or 4 months.

I have no idea why everyone seems to have so much problems with applying them. It was very easy for me to apply both the stock protector and the Brando protector. Just clean the front screen as thoroughly as possible with a piece of cloth that does not leave those small fabric hairs. I used a cleaning cloth for glasses, and put a few drops of window cleaning fluid as well to remove eventual grease.

After that it was piece of cake. Started at the top and just rolled down the protector in one smooth move. Had 1 bubble, which I simply pushed to the edge of protector until it was gone.

I reccomend you do all of this in a dust-free environment. Bathroom is a good place, for example. Let the dust settle for like 20 minutes before going in. Avoid rooms which have carpets and such stuff.
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
I used mine for the first month+ without the screen protector and sustained no scratches. I have one on now simply because one day I was putting stuff away, saw the screen protector, put it to my HD and it went on perfectly without trying, so I decided to keep it on.
[Touch HD General] Neville.Holland:
GoldCoin,

Have you tried buying on from a phone shop and asking them to install?

I installed mine as soon as I removed the "do not sit down with the HD in your pocket warning" Best way to ensure that the screen is clean. Took a couple of attemps to get it started but a little effort and I got it. Left with a small bubble round the ear piece and one top right, but that looks like a slight defect in the protector as the alignment looks almost perfect.

When installing, I peeled back a portion of the protector and aligned it best I could - incidentally, I placed the HD back in the foam that it came in to hold it firm. Without peeling any more off I try to gauge the alignment. If I think is good to go, I slowly peel the backing whilst rubbing my finger back and forth across the area just stuck down.

Here's another suggestion. PSP Screen Protector installation

Good Luck,
[Touch HD General] funk1980:
Yes, it's a must!

I use a screenprotector and it has lot's of scratches on it, which otherwise would be on the screen itself :D
[Touch HD General] Flames76:
Absolutely!

I Use clear-coat and are very satisfied (had it on my diamond as well and have it on my psp)

Once you get a mark on the display u will regret going without.
[Touch HD General] GoldCoin:
Thank you all for sharing your opinions. already ordered a Brando protector + 3 extra just in case i will mess things up again.

Following Rozenthal advice i think i'll apply it in the bathroom this time and not in my dusty workroom.
[Touch HD General] gregy74:
Bubbles are not problem. After installing screen protector just take you credit card. You can remove all bubbles with credit card.
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
Just adding my two pennies worth. I haven't ever used a screen protector on any of my previous phones. However Touch HD is a little bit special (as we know) so I invested. The one that came with was utter....well it was naff. I bought an invisible shield but some areas didn't dry and adhese correctly....so I opted for Exim...now this was awesome....a few attempts later and I have it installed with no bubbles at all using a credit card to apply.

(Top Tip: use selotape to remove any unwanted dirt from the screen before installing....the static tends to draw dust to it straight out of the packet....helped me anyway!)
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
For what it's worth, it wouldn't hurt to use a can of dust remover or compressed air to spray the area before applying. Worked for me. Just a thought.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Does the normal screen protector that comes in the box makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? in the center specifically ? and makes you need to press harder when u tap ?
[Touch HD General] monzablue16v:
Invisible shield on mine and wouldn't be without a screen protector on any of my devices with my way of using them and pocketing them they tend to get scratched but loving the invisible shield. Should be installed at the factory imo :)
[Touch HD General] ajs007:
I've always used one, XDA mini, Kaiser and now the THD.

In all cases I've found the sensitivity is affected but to varying degrees.

In each case I've used tweaking tools to change the sensitivity back to acceptable levels.

:rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
But im only concerned to know. Does makes the screen feels like bending when u press on it ? I already know that all resistive screens do what i am talking about but does it increase when using a protector ?
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
I haven't experienced this with the Exim protector I am using. In fact...it's as though there is nothing there....even when swiping!
[Touch HD General] Rozenthal:
I wouldn't advise using selotape to remove dust, because the tape is covered with glue, and sometimes this can stick to the screen and leave marks which are not easy to remove.

That was my experience at least.

But, selotape is good for REMOVING the old protectors. Just take a small piece of selotape, stick it to a protector at the edge corner of the screen and slowly peel it off.

Also, a word of advice - if you made a mistake while applying the protector, NEVER remove in a speedy fashion. Do it slowly, because you can actually cause suction and that will make air bubbles to form underneath the screen's original plastic cover. This is then a major pain in the a$$ to remove.

Speaking of selotape, the best way to use it to improve your HD is to cut a short piece, about 1,5 cm long and apply it around the stylus. It will then firmly hold your stylus in place. I did this after I lost my first stylus simply by pulling the device out of the pouch.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
It is very easy to install screen protector without leaving air bubbles

Hold the screen protector about 70 degrees to the screen and allow only the top or bottom edge of the protecter to touch the edge of the screen. Align carefully. Then, slowly lower the protector while maintaining the 70 degree angle. Simultaneouly use a finger to press the progressively sticking part of the protector against the screen so there is no bubble. Keep doing this until the entire protector stick to the screen.

Easy. You will get perfectly installed protector with no bubble in this way. The key trick is to maintain the angle throughout.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Excellent advice for noobs, works a charm
[Touch HD General] zeu569:
The best way to put any screen protectors on any touch screen is in the bathroom.

What you do is turn your shower on with really hot water for about 2 min or so until you see that its becoming misty. This eliminates dust flying around and makes applying the protector so much easier.
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
I also used a little glass cleaning spray it allows a little friction while aligning or perhaps a just got lucky.

I am actually considering reapply new protection any suggestions for quality product
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Oops just read Spartans post

[Touch HD General] astromark:
I'm having big problems when I try to connect to GPS with my HD. It connects for a moment, then disconnects for 10-15 seconds, then reconnects, then drops again etc.

It's most obvious in Tomtom, because that's so reliant on a GPS connection, and it's clear when there's a problem. TT starts saying "no GPS device" for a few seconds - fine, it's always done that as it connects to it for the first time.

But then it says "waiting for a valid GPS signal", again not unusual. When it DOES get a signal it connects, then loses it moments later saying "no GPS device", and it keeps repeating these last two steps.

Curiously it doesn't say "no GPS device" (past the initial instance) until it first gets a signal - ie, it can sit indoors all day and not moan about "no GPS device".

Other apps have the same problem - Google maps, Everytrail, BeelineGPS. They're all using the default/auto config with the internal GPS chip.

It's almost as if (and this is a guess) the GPS driver is sending out bad satellite data that's confusing any software that tries to connect to it.

Finally, I did a hard reset last night and installed just the bare minimum today in case something was messing about but it's still doing it. So do I have a dodgy unit or is this a known problem?

(I have a new Touch HD that replaces my Vario 3 so I'm pretty familiar with the setup.)

Thanks

Mark
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
Probably having A-GPS on is causing the problem.

Turn it off via HDTweak or AdvancedConfig.
[Touch HD General] astromark:
Thanks Psygnosis84

I tried that and just went for a short walk and it didn't drop it then so that might have fixed it. Will confirm properly when I drive later.
[Touch HD General] astromark:
Yes it seems that was the issue. Thanks for the help.

Hopefully this will help someone else in future!
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I love this site!

Query asked, solution found..........simple as that:D
[Touch HD General] tsadek:
I also encountered this problem but I found it was cured by quitting TomTom and refreshing QuickGPS. Restarting TomTom showed the problem was cured.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Driskol:
Hi all!

Im triying to make a complete mokup of the system by changing every icon but...

When i change a icon inside a module (folders like files as fexplore.exe or iexplore.exe) the kitchen replaces the modified exe with the original exe in template (OS.NB) into ROM folder.

Im using Surface Kitchen. Trying now visualkitchen from ervius but errors, tryed mu kitchen from adwinp, flashed correctly, working, but no luck...

What kitchen allows me to do that?

There is another way to change the original icons from dll's, exe's and cpl's in modules?

Is there a software to edit the final nbh ( like htcRIE ) and replace the exe's and dll's with the mopdified ones? (htcrie extract the modules as modules and doesn't allow to replace entire modules)

I dont want to add cabs to operatorpkg

Thanks in advance,

Driskol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
1: convert module to file (download app pack from my sig; the tool's called module2file)

2: unsign file (exe,dll)

3: change your icon with resource hacker or equivalent

4: resign dll

5: if need be, reconvert to module with file2module

6: don't forget to use a reduced payload (try payload reducer)

Hi to everyone!

I upgrated my blueangel from wm2003 to wm6 ( 6.1 ROM MiChy ITA 1.21 ).

Everything works fine but.. my pda doesn't vibrate in my incoming call & sms alert or notification.

How can I fix my problem? Something bad in the reg?

Does everybody experienced my problem?

Thanks

p.s. My radio version is 1.12 ...should I upgrade to 1.15 ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] red_hanks:
It doesn't vibrate at all? If you already tried setting SMS and call alert to vibrate and it does not vibrate then it must be a hardware failure. Try to install phone_pad_vibrate then SR your BA and go to phone and press some numbers and if it still didn't vibrate then it's a hardware issue. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] + Que PPC:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ice9090:
Thanks guys!!

I fixed the problem simply upgrading my radio to 1.15 and installing:

As everyone who tried using T9 and non-ascii characters you probably are aware of the, let's call it, *Question mark glitch*.

For anyone not familliar with this, the problem is that when ha the "Use Unicode when necessary" box unchecked and inserts a non-ascii character in a SMS message, the recipient receives question marks.

There seems to be no built in solution. Checking the box implies avoiding Unicode, which is painful when using T9 in some languages.

OK, now let me explain why I'm posting in this forum.

I'm doing a research on available options to create some simple app, which can help with the above. The ideas are:

This was my first idea. Unfortunately I've had hard time finding a viable solution. As long as sending and intercepting incoming messages is easy, control over outgoing SMS doesn't look too good. The CEMAPI is a pain but I may be missing somethig.

This seems an eay, higher-level approach to the first idea. If anyone would find this a good idea, do point in the right direction. Specifically in remapping the softkey (all I was able to find was rempping Today screen softkeys).

Many of those exist but I'd very much like them it to nicely integrate with WinMo and TF3D. Is that any doable?

[General Topics] NoMoNada:
After looking at the presentation of IPhone 3G v3.0 and already have read the articles about the WM v6.5 and v7.0, a huge disappointment came over me.

You see I am a top shouter in my environment for the HTC phones which are all equipped with the WM OS's.

The greatest impression on me where some articles about guys(who seemed in my eyes a real priority on this, i am dutch so not quickly impressed by anything), who wrote all similar story's about the WM v6.5/7.0. Stating Microsoft is not at all doing anything to compete with the Google and APPLE OS's. There are just very few improvements and absolutely not at all impressive enough as the IPhone OS.

Reading some article they are looking for a lead developer for the new core for WM v7.0 are not honored and contradicting, like saying oke guys i know the current OS is ****ty so we need to start over, can anyone help us?

That is not the sort of message I as WM lover like to hear.

It seems that Apple is just about the only one who is really listening to the users and they are working their ass off getting all requested functionality integrated. APPLE have done more on the OS in 1 year then Microsoft did on all development of the WM versions.

I am working at an IT company where the IPhone is making a serious entry and I am working at support and people asking me for information getting the IPhone working with the company applications. and guess what, it is sooooooo much easier getting it setup then every other WM-device i have seen. And they seem to shrink in number at the company.

Now I am really:D in love with the HTC-devices, but i am slowly getting confused by the latest IPHONE OS.

I expect that Microsoft will loose this battle due to their arrogance and dragging all major mobile company's down with it. So expect another crisis in a year or 3 because now the smart phones are booming but people will come to their senses and they switch to IPhone after their subscriber to the providers has ended.

So please bring me to my senses and say I am totally wrong!!:confused::rolleyes:

Thanks for your response.

I hope you are familiar with ice skating?

They where skating years and years on the normal skates and the fastest times stayed longer and longer on the list.

Then someone decided to change the skate(klikskate, the iron comes half lose when lifting the skate) so significantly everybody said out loud that will not work, so they tried it a bit but went back to their old skates(sneakers).

Until someone who always was just under the top 10 decided, oke I reeeeeeealy going to try this and trained for 2 years on it.

So the next major tournament this person broke all long standing records.

Now everybody is using the new ice skates and up until now, records keep broken almost every new major tournament.

Shortly: I half agree with the sneaker story but it will not hold on the long term.:cool:

Microsoft just messed up to big, so if Bill wants to see another billion or 2 added on the Forbes list he has to get serious on this.
