[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] riotburn:
Ok I got the bodyguardz and put it on last night friday. Took close to an hour because I was making sure to do it well. The screen part doesnt fit perfectly edge to edge, it is about a milimeter too short. This is not a problem thought as I still feel it provides adequate coverage and the lines arnt noticeable. I do have some hazey/microbubble looking stuff on one corner. Hopefully it'll go away after some days. It does look perfectly clear when the screen is on, dont notice the haze, and the feel is smooth as without it. The sides were either just a bit to short or overlapped a little (just cut the extra with no problem). The part I got the best on was the battery cover but big woop. All in all assuming the little bubbles will go away, I think it is a good product and that I will even begin to forget about it after the wow factor wears off. I just wish I could reuse it so I can try doing the screen again without having to use the second set.

Using Brando ultra clear for some time now. It works just fine (sensitivity, etc) on my Rhodium :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeadBirdDog:
I took an entirely different route. I called up a window tint place that also sells the 3M Scotchgard paint protection film

http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Scotchgard_Paint_Protection/Film

What could be tougher than that? Not only does it look flawless but they did it for me for free using scrap material. If anyone wants to see a picture of the finished work let me know and I'll post one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] riotburn:
Thats smart. Howd you go about cutting out the pieces to match screen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeadBirdDog:
The guy at the shop did it with an xact-o knife. It really looks like a manufactured protector...and free is hard to beat.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] riotburn:
awesome, dont know if every tint shop would be so nice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeadBirdDog:
No doubt...but I'd bet they'd still do it cheaper than a packaged product plus they are going to be much better at installing it without getting bubbles or creases in it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dmkozak:
FWIW, normally, removing the paint protection film from a car leaves a residue on the paint which must be cleaned off. I have no idea whether the cleaner would damage the screen or not. One advantage of the "real" screen protecters is the ease of removal.

If you have to exchange your phone, using the car paint protector could cause problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeadBirdDog:
Interesting point but with it being free if I have to exchange it I'd just leave it on there and have the new one re-done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dmkozak:
Until they try to remove your cover during the inspection and refurbishing. Then they'll realize what you sent in and give you the choice of either accepting the old one back (no exchange for you) or paying full retail for the replacement.

Either get it for free, and have troubles removing it. Or, pay for an easily removable protector. I am sure some would rather pay $12 knowing they can remove the protector and not have any warranty problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SlimJ87D:
I just want a screen protector that feels smooth and doesn't glue your finger to it and leaves finger prints. My friend has a nice one on his iphone.

Which do you guys recommend? I don't want one like the one my tilt 2 came with. It literally collects oil from your fingers and even dries them up sometimes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] riotburn:
the bodyguardz i got is good so far. its cool, dont even realize its there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] khtims:
I just got a cool one that is not sticky like most are. It is smooth and cut perfectly for the TP2. It is made my Luxmo - Luxury Mobile. It is called a High Def Mirror Screen Protector. it looks like a mirror when the phone is off then when you turn the phone on you can see clearly through it. very cool!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jpoirier587:
i went and got a pack of 3 for ten bucks at the att store. crystal clear. no bubbles and fits perfect. friend didn't believe me when i told him there was a screen protector on it. cant tell its there :) i wouldn't even think of buying any of these expensive ones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vikramdhani:
can you please tell me what brand it is so that i can buy them as well ?

so here are the screen protector that is sold by att for the tilt2 and i am going to get it today only
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] 3waygeek:
Seconded -- I picked this up a week ago & they're great. I had previously tried the one that came with the Tilt 2 and the Brando TP2 protectors & had problems with fit & bubbles with both.

Zagg Invisible Shield

There are a lot of good ones out there. But the simple fact is, the Zagg Invisible shield was the one I had used for my Touch Pro (the first one). I haven't been able to get the one for my TP2, yet, but will once I have the money.

The only downfall for this shield is it takes a bit of time to install and does require that your phone be off for a few hours (the shield is installed with a liquid, they recommend that you leave it off for a few hours to let the liquid dry out of the phone, worked like a charm, though). Once the shield was on, I never had a problem with it getting scratched or anything, even with the keys in the same pocket. The corners and edges got it a little bit here and there, but the overall condition of the phone was a lot better than I had imagined it would be after a year of being in my pockets, being dropped, etc.

Zagg is also pretty good about replacing it if it is defective in any way. My initial shield wasn't cut properly and therefore got ripped and wasn't covering everything. They shipped me out another one within the week.

Great product, excellent customer service. I have to go with Zagg Invisible Shield.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Pops_G:
I have seen a few people mention the screen protector that came with the Tilt2, but there is no included screen protector in the box mine came in. I have looked like 5 times.

The "Package Contents" on the outside of the box also do not mention any screen protector.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jpoirier587:
they don't come with the tilt 2 but they should be available at your local att store
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] petard:
The Tilt2 comes with one. It is in a bag with other papers and I think a CD.

im in no way trying to say anyone is better than another because obviously cyan has done tremendous things for the community..

Im tired of trying to find a hero that works well... im sorry but either it lags or this crashes, or that crashes..

cyan works and works well and so does enomthers. the plus that is see is that enomther is working constantly on updating it.. i also like the advanced launcher so i can hide things.

can anyone else list advantages and disadvantages of either.???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
I used to use Cyanogen's, but it's currently behind the official OTA release (Donut) as far as stable versions (4.0.4, Cupcake) go. One of the reason to root is to get ahead of the curve and not have to wait for T-Mobile to get their updates out. Makes you wonder if the stable Cyanogen Eclair version will come out weeks after the offical OTA Eclair.

I'm not bashing Cyan, I'm sure he's a busy man, just stating the reason I made my choice.

Hello:

I'm completely new to WM, never once had a WM phone before. I've only had sidekicks, because of their ease of use and general ability to multi task and have things running in the background. Anyway, got a bit tired of not being able to do anything to the phone and picked up the TP2...

I'm on WM 6.1, however supposedly WM 6.5 came out? I've tried checking Microsoft for an official update, but all I can find are custom ROMs? Does WM not allow updating? Also, on the TP2, I went to Settings -> System -> Windows Update and it keeps giving me an error:

"Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct."

Data works, (Same error with wifi or 3g) and date and time are correct...? Can't update that way.

Would I have to use "homebrewed" versions of WM 6.5? (I'm only familiar with modding PSPs, sorry if that isn't the correct terminology)
[General Topics] Rudegar:
ms don't sell wm to users they sell it to manufacturers only

and the roms are 100% customized for the devices

if the manufacturer don't release an official rom for your device you will never receive an official rom

I try to download the PayPal app but market couldn't find it.

So I remembered awhile back that they blocked the ADP1 from seeing/downloading paid/protected apps.

and the fix for it was to change some things in the build.prop

Well i try trying even adb push the official t mobile build.prop and still no go so did i do something wrong of is there something else that the phone is checking for?

Can someone help me out on this i would really would like to have the paypal app and its a free app in case someone has something to say.

And yes i rebooted the phone after the build.prop was push and checked the settings and it all say tmobile info
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
here is an app to fake the provider settings so that your device will show paid apps, called MARKET ENABLER. You just go to the middle tab and pick the provider from the list (Mine is TMO US), and longpress, then click "Fake this provider Now" and youll be all set...then go into your market and paid apps should now be there!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thelastgoodbrother:
I just downloaded the Motoblur rom and installed it on my Ion (32b). It looks like the whole Blur experience is working.

However, I can't seem to download anything from the market. It shows all my recent downloads but when trying to install it fails/ unsuccessful install. The second issue is that it doesn't change orientation even when checked off in the options. Google contact sync and Wifi don't work either. I haven't confirmed if BT works yet.

Anybody have any ideas or patches? Is there anyway to install Astro straight from the sd card?

I have S2U2 installed on my touch pro 2, however I don't want to use the S2U2 interface to answer the phone (S2A ?) because there already is a "Slide to Answer" feature in the phone.

Is there any way to set it so that when I get a call and the phone is locked by S2U2, that it just unlocks it and shows the phone UI?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Just disable the Caller ID feature.

[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
i think the HD2 is an amazing piece of hardware and its clearly better than any other competing product in the coming few months. i do however hate a few things about it:

1-the lack of front camera for 3G video calls. while i may not care a lot about video calls i imagine that many will be missing it.

2-i see no point of releasing a separate delayed hardware revision for US market. especially when you consider that the rest of the world version lacks the front camera just like every other US phone. the Acer F1(another 1 GHZ 3G phone) has been available for a while and it supports US 3G bands on the same hardware and it even has the front camera.

3- considering that its the best multimedia phone made by HTC, its lacking the TV-out and the FM-Radio transmitter and better camera(all of which are supported by the N97)

4- the included 512MB ROM is a joke. i know that it can be expanded with SD card. but extra flash on the device is always useful. the 1.5 year old Omnia had 8/16/24BG+microSD why cant this have it. adding 8 or 16 GB flash costs HTC almost nothing to add

5-lack of stylus: HTC patented the capacitive stylus but they didnt use it. i know the the screen is big enough to be very finger friendly. but its still windows mobile and some applications work need stylus (for example Pocket artist).

6- lack of hardware buttons (especially camera). i wish the added 2 or 3 buttons on the empty sides. WM will always make use of the hardware buttons

7-despite the very high specs, its still less than the minimum Windows mobile7 specs (which requires Tegra level graphics performance acceleration and bigger than integrated storage ) which means that it will not be

upgradeable to wm7.

8-i dont understand the 320+128MB. the dedicated 128MB for the low performing graphics chip seems pointless to me. if they are going to put all this memory there why didnt they allocate it to program memory.

9- i really love how HTC managed to make the device reasonably small considering the huge 4.3" screen. i still think that its physically too big for many people. the HD was not very pocket friendly and this one is even bigger. i wish the screen was 4.0" or even 3.8". considering their recent improved and more efficient designs, im sure HTC would have been able to even make it friendly for one hand use with a smaller screen.

10- im not too big on the new standard micro-USB connector. they should have at lest included the hard to find mini-USB to micro-USB adapter with it. everybody already has several mini-USB cables/chargers but ive never actually seen a micro USB yet.

11- they increased up the specs (and power usage i would assume) significantly from the first HD but they reduced the battery size from 1350 to 1250mah!!!. luckily the early reports are suggesting "acceptable" battery life
[HD2 General] ez2remember:
Only thing missing for me on the device is a decent camera. I don't mean HTC standard... I mean the best of Nokia, Samsung & Sony Ericsson. The original HD took terrible pictures and videos. I don't think there is much improvement in this area from previews and videos.

TV-Out would of been great but sadly missing.

I don't care about front camera because I hardly ever use video call.

It's probably more of a business centric device but with such a large screen it could have so easily been the ultimate work and pleasure phone. :D

I'm leaning towards the Nokia N900 (Linux) but still undecided.
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Just some thoughts for your annoyances! (I currently own an Omnia too)

Anyway some good points there! :)
[HD2 General] alecs:
It is very likely WM7 will be out by mid to late next year. WM8 is already being discussed as I understand it and WM6 and 6.5 have been universally panned (and quite rightly).

So if you purchase the HD2 assuming it will be out of date in less than 10 months then all well but I suspect many will not be happy (including me). I don't mind spending extra bucks now to avoid doubling my investment by having to purchase two devices in the space of 10 months!

Do you have the link to the original "in the original Leo thread in the main board, wasn't it confirmed that it will be upgradable? "
[HD2 General] here4info:
add this to the list:

1. lack of full-fledged graphics drivers (3D)

2. lack of d-pad; or trackball like blackberrys
[HD2 General] Teneka_Khan:
1) Front Camera - most people don't use them so not a big deal

2) Buy the Acer if you like it (have fun)

3) it has got an FM Radio onboard I believe

4) Memory could be better but its got an SD card so just by a 16gb card.

5) The point is you don't need a stylus - am I missing something. If you wannt a Stylus get an Omnia 2

6) The camera button could have been useful - but nobody knows if one of the front buttons cannot be used. Shall we wait till its been reviewed fully before we slag it off.

7) Its been clearly stated that the specs do not say "Tegra" only. Thats just not true. Makes me laugh that a phone with great 3d potential and dedicated memory like the HD2 is being slagged off for no reason.

8) The screen size is the best part of the phone - it can be used to watch video, surf the net, etc. So it has to be big to fit the screen - not an issue.

9) Micro-USB!! - You mean the defacto standard now.

10) Nobody knows about battery life yet so lets hold fire.

Why are you interested in the phone if non of its main selling points you like?
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
because despite its "limitations" its still a lot better than the rest now.

take a chill pill dude and try to tone-down the fanboiasm. our nitpicking will make it very easy for HTC to make the HD3 a better device. also by highlighting them so early in its life, it will make easy easy for its users to deal with its potential issues
[HD2 General] alecs:
I haved discovered that it does support WM7http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=7528 states

(QCOM 8k, Nvidia “Tegra” AP15/16* and TI 3430 all meet spec)

Qualcomm 8k = Snapdragon's QSD8xxx-series chips = Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 (which is in the Leo).. so the processor should meet WM7 chassis 1 requirement.

To answer the FM radio question - the answer is YES

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hd2-2957.php

I agree with the comments above. There is no such thing as a perfect device but you have got to congratulate HTC on the HD2 being one of the closest to it.
[HD2 General] Sc4Freak:
The processor does, but the Chassis 1 spec also specifies at least 1GB of flash (and at least 512mb fast flash).

The HD2 only comes with 512mb internal memory.
[HD2 General] alecs:
By 1GB of flash I believe that means available storage i.e. an SD card

Memory: 256MB+ DRAM, 1G+ Flash (at least 512MB fast flash – 5MB/s unbuffered read @4K block size)

I am not sure what fast flash means but these are minumum specs and doesn't mean the device can't run WM7, it may just lag in certain spots though somehow I doubt this thing will lag even on WM7
[HD2 General] Toss3:
Is the specified 65k for the screen a hardware or software limitation? I know Windows Mobile 6.5 only supports 65k effective colors, but when WM 7 launches would the device be able to display more colors?
[HD2 General] manuelcalavera:
sure it does . they dont make "65K color display" !
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Most mobile phone LCD screens are 262K colours (18-bit). (This includes many of the displays used on phones that are advertised as supporting 24-bit colour.)
[HD2 General] Toss3:
But does anyone know the actual maximum bit-depth of the display?
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Dude theres a difference between FM Receiver and FM Transmitter. A FM Transmitter is important for those who own a car. The FM Transmitter can be used to transmit Music at a certain frequency which can be tuned to in the car using the Cars FM Radio!

The HD2 already has a FM Receiver. It might also support FM Transmission capabilities but that depends on which chip its using.

Video Out is certainly a welcome addon. Showing off Photos on a LCD is way better than telling them to login to Facebook! I for one will surely miss the TV Out.

Inspite of that, I consider these two features to be of very less importance when compared to the other feature set. This is the THE KILLER phone everyone was waiting for!
