I also tried the Zagg invisible shield (only on the screen as it was already difficult enough to get that correctly aligned and without any dust on). Even after 72 hours, it still looked terrible, so I decided to remove it and have now ordered the Martin Fields screen protectors. And yes, I did take all the precautions mentioned on the flyer.

Well after I got mine it only took me 10 minutes to throw it away.

What a ****ty screenprotector :-(

Well offcourse I could have sent it back but I didn't think of that when I threw it away.

Can someone post some pics?

Have my screen protector sitting here, it feels nice not as grippy as i expected, but im afraid to put it on due to all the comments!
[Desire Accessories] Amplificator:
Me too.

Would be nice if someone could post some high quality pictures that show some of the problems some users say they have.

By high quality pictures I mean no bad camera phones where you can't actually see any details at all.

Such pictures could help a lot of users choose a proper screenprotector.

screen protectors?

after reading this thread, does any one have any recommendations for a screen protector for the desire, i really need to get one on, but that does not affect the touch screen properties, cheers
[Desire Accessories] The Lurking Droid:
I for one is wondering if the protector really is needed.

I mean this glass is really hard glass isn't it?

Besides, I never put my phone with loose changes and keys and so on...
[Desire Accessories] Nelsaidi:
All you care about is the screen right? Get a screen protector and that will pretect it.

The body of the phone i like the feel of, and would not like silicon stuck on that.

I've heard about issues with removing invisible shield, hence why i didnt get it.

See my thread for screen protectors - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674427
[Desire Accessories] hanscg:
Same here, paid $28.48 and after 30 minutes i throw it away , its nice on the back, but not on the screen.
[Desire Accessories] lewyharvey:
Took mine off the very next day. Made the phone look cheap and nasty. I had no problems removing it as I don't think it had cured fully. My advice would be a nice flip case. with a good quality screen protector. Only paid £7 from Zagg (50% discount) so no real loss :o)
[Desire Accessories] str355:
i'm using the 6x cheap ones from ebay (1st post in below thread) on my desire, zero problems, zero bubbles.

I bought a full body invisible shield last week and received it today.

I only installed the screen protector and the backpanel.

Installation wasn't too difficult for those two parts. No bubbles/dust on the screen.

One thing to do is to put enough liquid on the screen protector when you're removing bubbles as it looks like i've made on litte scratch on it because it was too dry.

Btw i like the 'gripping' of the backpanel, it makes me more confident when i use my phone.

I will post pics tomorrow when it's completely dry. :cool:
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Thanks, iv had a screen protecting sitting under my desk for a week now, dont want to put it on untill i see some pics and some reviews.
[Desire Accessories] HTC Dude:
I had already used Zagg invisibleSHIELD to protect a TouchPro2, and I really didn't want to have that sticky feeling on the Desire's screen. So I tried a combination which has made me perfectly happy, as I am pretty paranoid about phone scratches:

- ZAGG invisibleSHIELD on the back and sides of the device.

- VIKUITI screen protector on the front (you can still get the best touch experience out of that 3.7 amoled multitouch screen).

Total cost, shipping included: 25€ (using a 30% discount voucher on Zagg). It may be expensive but I think it's worth it because the result is perfect: great protection and touch experience, plus the device looks neat.
[Desire Accessories] remi54:
Ok now it's dry, here is my first impression :

On the backpanel :

Most of the very little bubbles that where bothering me on the backpanel are almost gone ! (still some few microbubbles on each edge but you really really need to take a good look to see them).

I also definitively like the glossy look, looks well integrated too.

Also fingerprints doesn't get 'stuck' on it :)

On the front screen :

On the front screen i've got no bubbles at all :)

The colors doesn't seems to be altered, i would say it's a bit less sharper but not an issue at all, you can still appreciate the beautiful screen :cool:

The screen sensivity stills good to me, a bit more 'gripping' but doesn't bother me ATM.

I can't compare it with another screen protector but it looks ok to me.

ATM i really like the screen and especially the backpanel protector (will see after some days how it goes.)

pics will follow today (too cloudy right now).

If you've got questions feel free to ask ;)
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Hows flicking through the home screens?

feeling the screen proctector ( not on the desire just out the packet)

it doesnt seem too grippy, but my main problem if it was grippy

would be flicking through the home screens // flicking up and down

on things like email widget and friend stream.
[Desire Accessories] simonf7:
My screen protector has been on a couple of weeks now and its lost some of its grippy feel, so flicking and pinch zooming is fine.

[Desire Accessories] Amplificator:
I have put mine on too and can't see anything wrong with it.

Screen is clear with no rainbow colors or anything like another user reproted (actually asked Zagg about it and it will happen if you use too much of the solution when applying the shield)

Only real problem that I have always had with InvisibleShield is dust under the shield when applying.. Have always found it hard to avoid that with InvisibleShield. (even more so after they switched to the sponge and not the spray-solution)

It is just the right amount of "grippiness". It is way more smooth than on my previous InvisibleShield for an iPhone 2G some years ago.

No bumps or anything, but about as flat/smooth as it can be.
[Desire Accessories] e-mperor:
Invisible shield applied

Hello,

I already ordered it before I read any of the comments... and I was a bit worried about the quality of the invisible shield.

But I've applied the shield and it already looks nice (after only 3hours). I don't use the part to protect the buttons as I don't find it necessary...

Here you can find the full screen images:

i applied my invisibleshield just 5 minutes ago and i must say i am impressed...i applied the back and the screen btw. I just LOVED the back how it glows and there is no bubble at all, in fact i think the back cover is finished they way it is. As for the screen i applied it extra carefully and i left no bubble except from some tiny tiny ones which i am sure they will disappear till tomorrow morning. As for the taggy thing, yes it does fell taggier than stock screen but IT'S NOT SO MUCH that you will say the screen protector is no good. i hardly find it unsuable, i tried the scrolling upside and down and sidewise too and i am really impressed. If those bubble disappear till to tomorrow then this will be an outstanding item to buy for your precious DESIRE.

I was scepticated at first before applying it (i have the zagg shield a week now sitting on my desk) but i say let's do it and if not good ok, we won't lose some scientist after all isn't it????:P:P:P:P

BUT IT'S GREAT if you apply it correctly.!!!
[Desire Accessories] Stubzz:
I've put a full shield on my Desire last week and I had no problems getting it on (I just took my time and was careful). All bubbles are gone and the 'stickyness' is fading as well. Overall i'm very pleased with it.

The shinyness is a good way to differentiate between out two phones :p
[Desire Accessories] lambrospower:
it's been only few hours since installation and it looks even better. I am totally sure for now that it will be perfect till the morning.

As we can see there are many different opinions about the zagg shield. i think it extremely matters if you apply it correctly and leave it aside like the instrauctions set.
[Desire Accessories] Amplificator:
I asked Zagg about the rainbow colors and they said it could happen if one uses too much of the solution when applying so it cannot be squeezed out properly.

I applied very little of the solution myself and it looked perfect straight after applying it. Didn't even have to wait for it to settle. No bubbles or anything at all.
[Desire Accessories] e-mperor:
I can only agree, it's great. Bubbles are gone on mine too. I used a lot of liquid to get it on but I did a good job by wiping the big bubbles off with the card. I'm glad I bought this!
[Desire Accessories] dingdong3000:
I've just applied it too and it doesn't look too bad.. only little bubbles which i'm sure will disappear in time.

i got the maximum shield and it seemed when i was putting one of the sides in, it overlayed the bottom piece abit..
[Desire Accessories] A|ex:
doesi t use some sort of glue to stick to the case i dont get how it is just that good of a fit
[Desire Accessories] franklinvv:
Installed an invisibleSHIELD today. Didn't have any trouble applying it without bubbles. However, it does suffer from the annoying 'rainbow colors' which I hope will disappear within the next 24 hours. I mistakenly applied it a bit too low but can't blame the screen protector for that. I only noticed it after having removed all bubbles so I can blame it for not being able to be reusable, else I would have just taken it off and reapplied it which I was hesitant to do now. :-)

All in all, I think it feels nice (coming from Brando's screen protectors) but it doesn't look as good. The name 'invisibleSHIELD' seems somewhat misleading.

JUst put mine on, after 3 attempts , having waited 3 weeks to see if anything better was available, i thought sod it i will try.

Not impressed atm, took me 3 goes because seem like something stuck onto the underside of the shield, definatly not on my screen, tried to remove it with the sponge but didnt work, so i just hope it goes by itself, or it coming off in the morning!

had to use alot of solution, seem like too much to me, my phone best turn on!

Ok had mine on for about 30 odd hours, after the first 12 hours, it looked very nice indeed, so then me being me, i thought hey , it unscratable, lets give this a go, so i got my keys out and scrapped them over, now i have one big cut going all down the middle of the screen, which is pretty anoying, i thought o il leave it to see if it "heals", but 24 hours and it looks a bit better, but still noticable.

Think im going to leave it another 24 hours and if it not completely gone, its coming off, as i have a pack of the £2 cheapo ones that are suppose to be good.

Just so much for being scratch proof, when a pair of keys can do damage to it, althought true test will be if it scratched the screen aswell, if it has, oo zagg will being getting a nasty email!
[Desire Accessories] xrrkrrkx:
My experience with invisible shield protectors have always been bad.

Definitely not scratch proof, and the worst thing about them is that they peel from humidity.

On a side note, their headphones are crap too...

Took finally off the Invisible Shield today. Just couldnt stand it anymore!

Gets greasy with rainbow colors, not good to watch photos or video etc. Its too sticky and pinching in/out is a nightmare.

I love keep my Desire 'safe', but will definetly look something thats really invisible (if there is!)
[Desire Accessories] dingdong3000:
Yeah same as above. I've put on Vikuiti protective shield and is so so much better
[Desire Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
tried 3 of them,

1) coloured lint and lots of it, ok first time doing a wet install

2) tried again, edge was over hanging edge, so peeled off by it's self.

3) got cut your own, wiped the water out with the squeegie, two big scratches down it.

4) tried carphone warehouse, not enough stick edge kept lifting.

Currently running no protector, my best experience is HTC's own brand. probably get another.
[Desire Accessories] PablosOne:
i have been using the maximum coverage for about a week. it took about 2 hours to set it, but i think its worth. its looking pretty good and i think its worth because now my phone is scratch proof. i got 0 problems

[Desire Accessories] kaivish:
i have been usin the zagg shield for almost a month now. i dont think it is scratch proof as they claim and laser precision cut as they claim again. it doesnt fit precisely, turns out to be short on some sides and it actually got scratched by just simple regular usage. luckily they changed it for me for free, but i wouldnt actually recommend that shield since its a pain to get it on in the first place and its nothing like what zagg claims.
[Desire Accessories] danbst:
My experience with inviz shields has been more hit than miss.

I did get extremely good at appling them. Zero bubbles and perfectly placed. In defence I'd say if you already have a non perfect screen they do seem to merge very well with your device, I say that because I brought my lad an iPhone last year 2nd hand. Screen was already somewhat scratched. The Shield went down perfect and pretty much covered out the imperfections. When I had tried this with the more rigid (plasticy) type of protector the air simply gets trapped and bubbles and you can still see hideous scratches through it. On that front it does earn brownie points.

On a negative side, they never seem to be CLEAR. As mentioned you do get a rainbow effect almost like there is screen tear on the display. Also after a time they do lift around the edges and get a tad grubby. Better than no protection at all but :( . Finally, also mentioned, they aren't as scratch proof as ZAGG would have you believe, I demo'd one to my mate and lightly scratched screen with my finger nails, I'm by no means a werewolf and it ripped right through the protector and never healed. Was ugly as sin. I had to tear it off and replace.

On a final note I tried a couple of the Genuine HTC ones on my desire. I couldn't get them on smooth for love nor money. 5 Mins after I had ripped open the envelope they were damaged, no longer "sticky" and bacically ruined (multiple attempts to place) they went straight in the bin. Left now on this device with no cover at all. Not sure what to try next... If I bother at all.
[Desire Accessories] j5m:
My experience of invisible shield was not a good one.

The application of the screen protector was awful, dust was trapped to the sticky side, tiny airbubbles that the installation guide said would disappear didn't. You only get one chance to get the application right. when i tried to readjust the screen it stretched causing imperfections on the underside. Plus the tackiness of the cover ruins the feel of the touch screen. Also there was a texture to the screen that distorted the display.

The battery cover protector was destroyed. I clipped a corner of the kitchen cabinet and the cover had a gaping tear in it. was lucky that i hadn't hit the screen.

If you want to protect your desire i suggest a silicon cover. might bulk it out a little but gives you a lot more piece of mind.

I also got a cheap, washable, screen cover for a couple of pounds. soo much better.

My advice, don't bother with this overpriced shield. buy a silicon cover and a cheap screen cover.

Screen protectors don't do much... you better get a good case as it looks as the glass on the HTC desire is very close to the edges, hence most likely to crack on a fall - from experience :-(
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
It literally fell about 1.5m into a hard floor. That's all it took to cause that much damage
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
The worse part? I have orange insurance who have kindly sent out 2 used refurbished desires that both are worse than what my phone was like pre-accident. Pita!
[Desire Accessories] rock_80:
Installed my invisbleshield last night, purchased the full body cover, so far have installed the screen and back protector, there's something like 8-10 pieces in total. If applied correctly the screen protector is truly invisible, I have to go out of my way to notice it. On the rest of the case its definitely noticeable as it adds a high gloss look to it. Rounded pieces are definitely trickier to get on bubble free, back plate I left a few small bubbles they may get less noticeable in a day or two but even if they dont not a big deal they're not that obvious.

Take your time particularly for the screen cover and you'll never know its there after the fact. I dont have the resistance people were complaining about. Maybe my fingers have more natural oil in them or something.

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this should go here or the programming thread, but here it goes....

I've got a TyTN II, and am currently in the process of installing a PC in my car. I'm writing a front end application which will server as an interface for music, videos, internet etc; all voice actived ;). I would like however, to connect my TyTN II to the PC for internet access (that one's easy, as I can just enable internet sharing), but what I'd also like to be able to do is connect the phone (either via bluetooth or USB), and send/receive SMS txts from/to an app running on a PC. I would also like to be able (once connected), to make/receive calls on the PC, using the headphone and microphone of the PC ..... Is this possible or am I dreaming?? Is there any APIs to allow me to communicate with the phone in this way, or any tricks to setting up the phone as a voice modem??

Cheers everyone

if you are looking for something that is already made for your use case as opposed to developing yourself, i highly highly highly recommend "WIFI Remote Access v1.7r1"...it is freeware to the best of my knowledge.

don't be fooled by the "WIFI" in the name. it works just as well via an activesync connection as well. the following use cases will be possible from the browser in your pc after establishing a connection:

1. reading/writing smses

2. viewing pictures stored on the phone

3. general accessing and management of files and folders on the phone and its storage card

4. the phone's registry access and management (!!!)

5. playback of music stored on the phone and its storage card (within the browser!!!)

6. the phone's screen can also appear in the browser and you can "remote desktop" the phone, essentially able to control the phone from the browser as if you actually had the device in your hand.

all that and a bit more, and it works best with internet explorer 7 and 8. the interface in the browser is beautiful and the setup is idiot proof :D

But I would like to see the weather on the main screen, below the clock and I cannot find out how to do it. On the main screen below the clock it says "Press here to update weather", I press it, something update and then nothing happens. It keeps always saying "Press here to update weather".

I want like this:
[P3600 General] krisztian b:
Just install a wm6.5 ROM...
[P3600 General] arpcpro:
Thanks, but I already have a WM6.5 ROM.

When I installed the Manilla v2.0 standalone cab shown above, the WM6.5 ROM didn't have it. That is why I installed v2.0. Anyway, installing it standalone seems to have more bugs and functions that don't work (and require more workarounds to fix it). That is probably why that function of updating the weather on main screen isn't working.

Now I'm using nAr & icke WM6.5 P3600 [21895.5.0.90][WWE] that includes manilla v1.2 but this one doesn't even has the possibility of showing weather forecast on the main screen below the clock like I want:

Is there any "good" WM6.5 ROM for P3600 with Manilla v2.0?
