I ordered two and they got here for $15.

I just opened the packages and am having a hard time with it. I haven't even started trying to apply them, I am just trying to decide if I even want to.

They feel really grippy. The whole point of the touch screen is that it is smooth as silk so your fingers slide across it easy. With this zagg stuff, I am not sure that they will.

Also, I have the sprint hero. It has that sort of charcoal brown finish on the back. It is really smooth and nice feeling. It is actually my favorite thing about the phone.

After applying this zagg stuff, the phone will now be glossy and not smooth anymore. There is no way around it. I was hoping these films might show up and when they harden, feel as hard and slick as glass. Instead, I am faced with the choice of taking away the properties of my phone that I am in love with, for the advantage of keeping it scratch resistant (two month and no scratches anyway...)

What do you guys think? Anyone feel the same way I do?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] fixxxer2008:
i never buy the full body skins. i only buy the screen one, that's all you need. just be careful how wet the phone gets when applying, i killed a brand new palm pre once. :(

anyways it will feel a bit sticky for awhile, like a day. after that you won't notice a big difference in touch and feel. i do know when i first put mine on my hero, the screen acted funny for about an hour until it sorta dried, like the touch wasn't responsive. it's perfectly fine now.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] keeneraver:
Thank you thank you thank you. The website says 75% off a single item, so I didn't even bother trying to add more. Damn, paid extra $3 for another shipment. Still, I saved $37 off retail, so still not a bad deal at all. Have used these and recommend them all around; they do have a kinda weird texture, yeah, but they're almost bullet-proof.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] wksk:
The full body kit came in last night. Im very happy with it. Here is my take on it.

My biggest complaint is that not all the pieces fit like i feel they should. the corner pieces dont cover the phone completely, the front bottom pieces hole cut-outs for the buttons are larger than they need to be exposing some of the silver phone part and they arent aligned properly either. also the main piece didnt cover the screen the screen 100%, maybe 97%. The crispness of the picture is slightly different, but barely. i read that may it get better as it dries out.

On to the positives. It is solid as a rock. you can feel the quality of it. the phone feels all around sturdier, hard to explain. The full body matched with my 5 dollar ebay silicone case has me completely covered. for 9 bucks with shipping, even if the front piece gets discolored, its still a great deal. i can always replace the front piece later down the road.

Thanks for the deal OP!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] flexgrip:
Well I put it on. I figured I could try it out and just remove it if I didnt like it.

Odds are that is exactly what is going to happen. The plastic cover is replaceable... so scratches may not be worth making my phone feel like it is covered in glue.

I just tried to pick my phone up off the table and it "snapped" off. Almost like it was stuck to it. I am assuming you are right, after a few days it will get some dirt and oil from my hands on it and become slicker. But sheesh.

By all means though, if you are worried about protecting your phone, this thing should do the trick really well. And its nearly free at this 75 off price. The fit of the cut outs were all around pretty good. Yeah there is a little space around the buttons but I ran mine under really cold water before I put them on and they shrank enough to fit better. I just really dont understand the little pieces along the side of the screen in the front (the long skinny ones). They do not cover the chrome strip. Not sure if that is because of me applying them or the way they are made.

With as much complaining as I am doing they are pretty cool and great quality.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] firemedic1203:
I have a verizon HTC TOUCH PRO2. I have upgraded it to windows mobile 6.5. I did the unlock (HARDSPL) on my phone with no issue. Next I tried ENERGY_ROM for the CDMA phones and my phone locked up on the "TOUCH PRO2" splash screen and wouldn't go past it. Thankfully I was able to flash phone back to sotck ROM. Why did this happen if the phone is a CDMA phone and i used the CDMA verison of the custom ROM?

Hi, guys i look for an answer......i rooted my htc hero, changed rom with last modaco, but when i tried to use some programs it gives me an error concerning root.

For example if i use screenshot program it notices me that i need to be rooted, how is it ossible if i'm already rooted?

Sorry for my english if i made some errors :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HugoEgon:
"rooted" means that you can get root permissions if you want them (like running a program that needs those permission). but for security reasons you don't have this permissions always. so when something want these permissions this dialog shows up and wants your "OK" to give root permissions to this program. thats normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sinnadyr:
There is an app in the menu that is named "root" or something, this is where you set your permission rules, if I remember correctly :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] enne91:
Thanx guys.....now the program I needed works.....dunno why yet, but the important is that it works :D

Im trying to get root on my cousins G1, I followed one of the stickies(I 4got how to get root), and after successfully flashing evrything, when I tried to flash CM's latest ROM, the phone would boot to the bootloader, and it will not stop, I even flashed back to RC29, and it will still just boot to the bootloader, but I can get into recovery, no matter what I flash the same thing happens, any ideas?

:confused:

Hi guys,

i just recently bought a unlocked htc touch diamond. i have service with at&t in USA. i know that i will not get 3G coverage on this phone but should be able to get Edge service.

The problem that i am having is that i am getting practically no signal at all. when i do get one or two bars i get 'G' icon instead of 'E'. Infact I never get the 'E' icon. Does this mean that i am not getting edge connection.

I find this out of ordinary as earlier i had htc touch hd that phone had no connection problem and was getting fairly decent 'E' edge connection. I have the original iphone and that runs fine where i am also.

Can anyone help me with this problem so i can actually use this phone.

thanks in advance:confused

So I did this once before and had to nand restore. I just did it again on a new install of fresh 1.1 with apps2sd and it did the same thing. Instant FC on ALL apps at boot. I'm doing this from RA menu. why is this happening?!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Adb into the phone, erase *the contents* of /data/dalvik-cache (not the directory itself), reboot the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
I understand that but It just makes me a little nervous that it doesn't work from RA.

And I don't know why but this thread got posted twice. Mods please combine? TY
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
If you are using the v1.5.2 I had this same problem along with others users (i run fresh 1.1 also) and i reported this problem in the RA-heroc-v1.5.2 thread, but got thumped on about how this ROM had no problems. I didn't have this issue in 1.2.3. Everytime you do a wipe in this new Recovery whether it tells you to ADB or not, it will cause your phone to FC everything on reboot.:mad:

This made me decide to try something. The typical instructions for clearing the caches are:

Quote:

adb remount

adb shell

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /data/boot-cache

reboot

"I tried only the "rm -r /data/dalvik-cache" command in adb, and had the same problem with endless FCs that the wipe dalvik option in the recovery has been causing. I then used adb to do "rm -r /data/boot-cache and rebooted again. Once it reboots, everything appears to work fine.

So it seems like the boot cache needs to be cleared after the dalvik, and the recovery tool isn't doing that."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
FYI the clear cache button inside fresh kitchen does do dalvik-cache and boot-cache. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
Thanks Flipz! That will save some time!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
No, you got thumped for recommending that people stay on 1.5.1, which has known problems with backups.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Agimax:
I Recommended using 1.2.3, not 1.5.1 or 1.5.2

I've had the force close problem twice tonight, and it dawned on me that I had tried wiping the cache in recovery both times. I then tested it a third time and had the same result.

Edit: It would've helped if I had spelled dalvik correctly when searching this thread. Post #85 is about a similar sounding issue.

I have the exact same problem. Now with this new Recovery when i wipe the Dalvik Cache, the phone has a Zillion FC's. I couldn't even use the Nandroid backup, it still had the force closes after i pulled a backup. I just did a Factory Wipe and put Fresh 1.0 back on. Pain In The A**!!!

My Advice To All: Just Don't Wipe The Dalvik Cache Till It Gets Checked Out By Developers Or Go Back To v1.2.3 ...

EDIT: To Be More Clear, I Could Use Nandroid Backup Just Fine, But It Still Had FC's All The Time After Using A Backup.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
What's the point of wiping the dalvik-cache?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
That's the cached java bytecode for your applications. If you erase it, the phone will recreate it the first time you run the application again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
Actually, to be a bit more specific, Dalvik is android's own native language based off of java. It is structured and runs just like java bytecode. Of course we don't code applications in bytecode so we use something familiar which is java source code, then with some help from an interpreter, we take said java source and convert it to dalvik bytecode for running on android.

The reason you may want to clear the dalvik cache is as follows. The Dalvik virtual machine which runs within android caches an optimized version of the bytecode to improve app loading and performance. If you get random force closures it is very possible that the cache for your apps may be incompatible with your current version of the app for any of a number of possible causes.

Clearing the cache forces the Dalvik virtual machine(DVM) to correctly rebuild the cache to what you currently have installed, and in many cases it fixes the force closures. Usually dvm and boot caches are normally the culprit when you install a new rom and experience force closure problems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
Thanks for the help guys! Mods please rename the thread "resolved"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flapane:
Same problem here.

However, I don't have any boot-cache so I'm stuck with a clean dalvik cache an a ton of FC!

[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:

is there a reason you want to wipe the dev cache?

[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
That always happened to me whenever I tried to do that. I'm not sure how you're "supposed" to do it, but I wipe the dalvik-cache before I load a new ROM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
So my power button works like 1/4th of the time now for some reason and almost everytime I press it the power off menu will come up.

Does anyone know of an alternative button or combination of buttons to lock the screen? Is there a widget to turn off/lock the screen?

I searched in the Dream app forum and got nothing. I also Googled to see of there was a "make your own" AnyCut short cut I could create and got nothing either.

I really am hoping someone can help because at the end of the day I don't know if HTC will warranty this as its unlocked.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Call HTC. Others with an unlocked bootloader have had success in at least getting a swap done.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
Cool, I'll go ahead and give them a shout.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
Agreed.

HTC/Google would have to prove that unlocking the bootloader broke the power button, which is highly unlikely.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
No, actually they don't HAVE to prove the bootloader broke the button. But they will most likely honor the warranty anyway as a courtesy. When you elected to unlock the bootloader, you expressly waived your warranty.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
Right - they don't have to honor the warranty at all since its unlocked; however, I called and they said they would swap it out. They didn't even ask if it was unlocked and even more surprising they didn't ask about water damage. My assumption is even though they didn't ask about water damage if there was they would charge me as it's in their disclosure.

Support was very helpful and they answered quickly on both calls. Problem with the swap is they out a hold for $529.00 on your card until they receive delivery of the returned phone. Since I don't have an extra $529.00 laying around I'm waiting for my next paycheck.

If anyone does have an alternative for the power button let me know. This is a pain lol. I do know that there are combinations such as power, volume down, and trackball soft resets.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Putting a hold on your credit card is not the same as charging it. As long as you have that much available credit on your card, you're fine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aggieaj:
yup i can confirm it . i just had it done . they just authorize it for 529 . but not a cent was actually taken out
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
So assuming that I had $529.00 in my account the would authorize it and I could go buy something or would my card get declined? Car payments coming up so wanted to be 100% on this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
The $529 is locked up temporarily... so it sounds like that would be a problem for you. Do you have another card you can use?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
Yeah I do but might wait to keep it on the same account.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] icon57:
it puts a hold on that amount...so yes..you would get declined
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
rgr that. Ill wait for my next paycheck and thanks for the clarification.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] degs:
Yeah my power button stopped working as well. I didn't get the phone wet or drop it or anything either.....

talked to HTC earlier this morning about getting it replaced or repaired. They told me that they would only be putting a $28 hold on my card until the process was complete
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
Hmm, thanks for the info. I'll give them a call today.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daballr07:
Hey!

Not sure if anyone here would know, but do you think they would honor me a swap as well since I purchased the phone from someone off of craigslist? it clearly has had no water damage since they only had the phone for like 2 days and I have had it in a case since day one.

Thanks ahead of time!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daballr07:

Quick followup question, did anyone have to unroot their phone before sending it back? I got them to send me a replacement but I didnt tell them anything about it being rooted or unlocked..

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
You can unroot your device but without the ability to relock the phone, it won't matter :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] daballr07:
wait so it doesnt matter if i unroot the phone or not? i thought it voids the warranty and its like breaking the law.. i kno u guys mentioned that unlocking the phone is ok with switching but what about it being rooted?

the reason i ask is because my phone wont turn on since the power button is completely out now.. im really worried that they would charge me in the end :(

Thanks in advance!!

Ps. i never mentioned to the rep that it was unlocked or rooted soo idk if they will still accept it

I have a broken power button and I am waiting on my replacement. The best advice I have is to set the screen time out to 30 seconds or shorter since you cant press power to turn it off.

Either way I hope someone has a suggestion on a way to create a shortcut or something......
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djnutz:
I got my new phone a long time ago, but if you're running Cyanogen's rom you have a trackball wake option in the display settings. if you don't, search this forum for trackball wake and use that. Double tap on the trackball wakes and you can unlock your phone. Setting it to a 30 second time out will save the battery.
