scratch resistant?

scratch resistant or not, I’m afraid I already got 2 scratches on my HD2,.. :(

I own it for 1 and a half month now!

I’m very satisfied with the clear screen protector from netimes.. just bought it for fun, but it was cool, since it didn’t made a real difference of thickness or touch ability.

But.. it did make a difference for the fingerprints that were left on the screen protector, it was much less compared to the glass screen! :)

This is the one I ordered:

http://www.netimes.com/shop/clear-s...tc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2414.html?cPath=80_731

this one sucked btw,.. wasn’t cool to look trough, and it was very thick!!

Mirror didn’t work out cool enough either..

http://www.netimes.com/shop/mirrore...tc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2512.html?cPath=80_731

ooh, and btw, be carefull when putting it on, if you don't work clean you better buy a new one,

since if there is one hair or fingerprint UNDER the screenprotector you'll see it for the rest of the time it is on!

and getting it nice and clean is very hard, trust me.. :P
[HD2 General] Apache0c:
Haha scratch resistant, yeah right

I've had my T-Mobile HD2 for about a month and a half so far and I'll tell you right now the screen is NOT glass. I got two scratches right across the center of it just from barely brushing up against the zipper of my cargo shorts pocket.

Oh how I wish I had installed a fingerprint resistant screen protector!!! :mad: So much for all the snide smartmouth comments in here making fun of people for using screen protectors.

P.S. This screen is a greasy fingerprinted mess.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Yes it is.

Smart people use screen protectors, stupid people take the piss.

Welcome to the world of using a touchscreen phone.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
The screen is definitely glass.

One thing to keep in mind that it is very scratch resistant, but not impact resistant. The angle of impact from the item (or zipper) doing the scratching will determine whether or not you get a scratch or not.

In the video, he's trying to scratch it, not jab it. If he retried the tests with more downward force on the initial impact, he'd get scratches. But then again, how hard are keys flying around in people's pockets??
[HD2 General] Wilco:
I am not to much worried about keys.

However I was doing some reconstruction to my house, and the cement dust completely screwed my other phone, even though I kept it in a closed pocket all of the time. Thos smaal grains of crystallized cement are very hard, and just the continued friction is enough to mak clear glass dull.

Therefore I put on a full body protection kit.

The first was invisible shield: a pain in the nek to put it on, looking appaling (orange like skin...)

Later I put on Clear coat. A dream to put on, no bubbles, movable untill squeegeed. one almost doesn't nitice the film (nice, smooth, shiny), and the phone has a nicer touch to it (less slippery). As for touch sensitivity: I do not notice any difference.

My motto: be smart use protection.

I prefer Clear Coat over Invisible Shield, just because Invisible shield is not so invisible and a lot harder to put on.

BTW: With Clear Coat also my fingerprints leave less residue (at leest until now :D )

But: Work clean, Clean the phone part you are covering thouroughly, use lint free cloths. Squeegee adn dry with cloth immediately: Skin will stay better in place, drying time is reduced.

Note: with Invisible shield I Used up nearly all fluid, With clearCoat, I have more than 50 % left..... (for Invisible Shield I could not take off and reapply, I did with Clear Coat an still can do it a few times more)
[HD2 General] Apache0c:
If it was glass it wouldn't scratch so easily. I'm telling you that my T-Mobile HD2 is not glass. Maybe you have different one but glass does not scratch this easy. I can catch the scratch with my fingernail. This screen is not glass.

sent using xda app on hd2
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
The screen is glass, but I can only assume the coating on the screen is substandard. If it's only lightly scratched, some high quality screen protectors can 'fill' the scratches and make the screen look as new. I use Vikuiti™ DQC-160 screen protector, there is a newer version now avaliable called Vikuiti™ ADQC27, I am told they can fill minor scratches.

They can be refitted numerous times as the adhesive layer isn't clingy, if you wash it under hot soapy water if the underside gets dirty during fitting and it will be good as new.

*Edit* If all else fails, and it really is obscenely easy to scratch it, you could always return it under warranty.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I took my screen protector off. They tend to bug me after a while. No problems, but my phone lives in a case when not in my hand.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Either you're wolverine or someone slipped a screen protector on yer phone bro!
[HD2 General] Wilco:
Glass is not diamond. Glass is really soft.... under certain circumstances.

eg: using a glass cutter scratches are very easy. If one of your keys in your pocket has a small barb on it, touching at the right angle makes it very easy to scratch glass.

Also if you have some (sharp) sand in your pocket, your screen will go dull very fast, as silicium is sharper/harder than glass.

If glass is scratched, you can catch it with your fingernail, this does not say anything on hardness of glass. Just because glass is quite hard, if a scratch occurs, it tends to go deeper as the tool that caused the scratch. Think of it like cutting a crystalline structure: the breaking of the structure progresses beyond the initial breaking.

NOTE: Glass is not crystalline in structure!! (although it behaves like that under the right circumstances).

Actually Glass is more or less a liquid (Unbelievable? check this ) better is the term amourphous solid (a state between liquid and solid), at least glass is

not

a solid!

Fact: Freshly cut glass used as a knife (for cutting tissues in thickness af e few atoms used for electron microscopy) is one of the most sharp knives known to men, even sharper than diamond, but only for a limited time due to it's amopurphous state is tends to deform and loose sharpness over time.

Ah root, how I love thee. I know that I can now finally change #2 from Customer Service, but alas my linux skills are whoafully subpar. Could one here that has skills much more advanced than mine please point me in the direction of changing the useless, unchangeable, speed dial for a 2 number button press?

many thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VoXHTC:
Let me guess, your wife has been on speed dial 2 for 10 years and you won't settle for putting her on 3?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
So if the wife goes to #3, where does the girlfriend go...4???

crazy talk

in all seriousness beyond just how right you were, I actually hate the fact that Sprint is trying to tell me I can't put whomever I want in that slot...to hell with them
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tipharet:
LOL I thought this was the same guy to but I am guess its not.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zikronix:
LOL...awesome
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Has anyone figured out how to change the 1 and 2 slot yet? Is speed dial part of the phone.apk, therefore locked in the resources.arsc and unchangeable?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] addisdar:
I am looking for an application that will allow me to use the built in microphone on the TP2 to be used as a USB Microphone on a computer. Does anything like this exist?

Reason being, is the TP2 microphone (especially in speakerphone mode) works really well and I would like to use it in my carputer.

Any suggestions????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] warrenmrogers:
make my tp2 a megaphone! but yeah that'd be cool too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] addisdar:
bump.. anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rich2thad:
yea thiz would be awesome
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
OK guys so i was messing around with debian and the dream way to install lxde and i found that hero has the power to run it! give it a shot!

Download the package from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529233

But install by following the instructions from here http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/292093/debian-lenny-now-running-on-hero/ use the bootdeb that is on this page.

When Debian is installed go back to the first page and follow the instructions on how to get lxde running there.

And hey presto! we have lxde :D

For those of you who dont know what lxde is it is a desktop basically so your phone looks like a computer!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
:-O Is this really a full debian install? or just an interface. Need to read more on this when I'm more awake!

edit. Just finished installing with instructions. It's a bit all over the place to find the right details.

How do you get LXDE to load? I'm stuck at the terminal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
Sorry it was really late and I was like half dead from lack of sleep ! What exactly are you having s problem with make sure to install the new android vnc released like three days ago and then enter the local host stuff into that .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
Don't worry about it, was half asleep when I saw it too. Couldn't resist giviing it a shot though. Got everything working now :D Works pretty well, though the UI is fairly laggy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
Im shocked it worked. It barely got to the desktop on the g1 i had before the memory overloaded and it crashed . The internet explorer works and u can enter text with the new vnc looks like it has great potential any idea how to get Flash working ?? :D

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] blue blue man:
Hi, Please recommend me battery friendly ROMs. I prefer 6.1 without manila. I am using SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which interface I think is great. So I have no need to go for manila or 6.5. However with manila or 6.5 ROMs are also ok if they are more power consumption economical.

Presently, I am using UK stock ROM v 1.05.931.10 with radio v 1.14.25.55 (the ROM was downloaded from this website :)). I use wifi a lot so normally my battery can last only more than 1 day a bit.

I have read a number of threads in this forum. Many posts recommended Touch X 10.1 or 10.8 (which is with manila) or 6.5 UnOff ROMs. Regarding battery life, how are they in comparision to stock ROM?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dongfang027:
+1.xperia i also want a stable and clean rom =)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] inaw234:
Hi,

Concerning battery drain it depends on installed software (eq: G-alarm, etc) and also radio rom version. It's different for everyone.

Previously I was using radio rom version 1.14.25.25 battery drain occurs. then I change it to 1.10.25.18 and my battery last more than 2 days in normal usage.

BTW, I am using NRG photon rom now.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BlueCrystal:
I've been playing around with different ROM's and I'm currently using Touch X 10.8 Legendary (i think). It's wonderful. Manila is very fast and isn't laggy or buggy. I had it off the charger since about 12:00, did a bit of texting, made a few calls, ran G-Alarm and did a soft-reset or two and it was at 71% last time I checked. In any case, I keep my phone screen brightness at 50% and I set the phone to turn off after 30 seconds of no use.

There's probably a way to disable M2D, but it's so attractive I couldn't ever do that :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] natao2nv:
hey mate use unoff v11.. just awesome its original xperia rom with win mobile 6.5 ova the top very clean no manila and batt life is just fantansitc i left ma fone on for 2 days straight reaching 30% before charging :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] D-fens:
Try WildChilds Pure ROM series.

You will find them :http://wcxxperia-nce.com/

I'm using version 22001 (WM6.5)for a month and I'm very impressed with battery life, overall performance and memory usage. It's a clean, pure rom so feel free to install for example SPB MS3 or something.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smaberg:
if i dont remember wrong i had my touch X 6.1 without manila running for a week, cant remember though if it was 6.1 or 6.1b or 6.1c, but i think it was the 6.1 :D, read the comment's and youll see, i edited the whole battery dll and components on this rom, so it was coocked with stability and battery as main prio... and im not fooling you, i had the device on for a whole week, when disabling the manila! :eek:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] blue blue man:

@ smaberg: Thanks for the links. Will definitely try your touch X 6.1 versions.

Is there posibility to disable manila option in touch X 10 versions and other manila ROMs?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sl1202:
SPB MS35 drains battery on UnOff V11 ROM plus like hell and on has some drawing problems with soft buttons names.

So I removed MS35 and now looking for the more power efficient alternative. Original Today screen with minimal changes is the best option so far while Titanium is not user friendly.

I am thinking of testing Manila 2.1 now...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] smaberg:
yes, in settings "today", you can choose 6.1 original
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] KwiHa:
I have used a lot of different ROMs and for me the spikegotti UnOff is the best.

I have the same soft environment (MBS, BT Watch, Exchange sync, all day data connection) for more than half year and before spikegotti I had approx 30% battery at end of the day, with spikegotti I have approx 50% or more.

id a nandroid backup then factory reset, then flashed this recovery image off of htc.com http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s3, then i flashed cyanogens rom then did a restore

thats what i did and i restarted then it started acting up

it has a picture of the image in the background of amon ra's recovery image and it won't go to recovery image, flashboot mode, or turn on. it doesnt even go to the screen that says mytouch 3g, it goes straight to the image. PLEASE HELP! Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drdingo21:
Yep, You bricked it.

I did the same when I first got my phone. I flashed the wrong radio (I mis-read the image name) and killed my phone. You can't get past what your talking about to reflash anything else.

You need a new phone.

Is anyone else having an issue with drivers running a 64 bit system, I cannot do anything from cmd line on my 64 bit desktop but from girls laptop i can root and use all the commands wtf
[Hero CDMA General] thorracing1:
i have windows 7 32bit and mine is working good here is the driver i used for adb
[Hero CDMA General] simplyphp:
It's probably your environment settings. Download the sdk and make sure your PATH has the extracted sdk folder location in it. I'm using windows 7 64-but ultimate, and did have a few problems at first, but everything is great now.

Also, I installed the Java Runtime Environment on my machine because I was developing an android app and I need it to run files within the SDK (like to make an emulated sdcard). You may want to install the JRE and add that to your PATH as well.

Google HTC sync x64 drivers. I installed a few weeks ago and had no issues with adb today.
[Hero CDMA General] thorracing1:
oh sorry i thought thats what you meant
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
installed the HTC 64 bit drivers and still no go I cannot even use htc sync
[Hero CDMA General] wandrerx:
I had a problem getting the device to work in cmd with xp64. I had to make sure I had a working ADB driver. One blog by a guy named Chris Bunney said to use PDAnet's driver. Basically install the 64 bit version of PDAnet in order to get the driver and then uninstall if you're not going to use it (but make sure you have the driver set up first). If you've already got a driver installed, go to the driver and manually pick "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" as the working driver for the device. Again, this is how I got it working on xp64 not sure how it'll go for windows 7 64 bit.
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
Did you use the updated driver from THIS link? Beyond that I have no other idea what to tell you beyond putting the android sdk in the root of your c: drive.

I just tried this on my girlfriends laptop with 7 x64 pro (completely fresh), and had no issues.

i'm running Dutty's Holy Grail R1. i've been having problems w/ the DUSK theme so i uninstalled it with the intention to reinstall.

[[-incidentally my problem that i'm having is in the start menu there is a sort of double task bar that started showing up. i'm reinstalling DUSK as i type and will attach a pic for those who are interested-]]

so anyway here is what my homescreen currently looks like:

as you can see i still have the DUSK taskbar installed. i uninstalled the DUSK theme in the "uninstall apps" menu.

when i lock either with the soft key in the start menu or holding down the "end call" key, this is how it looks:

as you can see the lock screen does not come up and there is no slider :confused: in some ways that's kind of cool, but i like the slider feature too..

and when i hit UNLOCK this is how it looks:

never seen that before.

what do you guys think is up with this? where did that come from?

i'm sure i can get rid of it by reflashing, in fact i think i'm going to have to (arrgh), but i'm just wondering what i did to get that.

thanks in advance for your guidance :)

---------------------------------------

EDIT: DUSK just finished reinstalling and my slider lock screen is back. that was weird...
