It hurts to wait but im sure its well worth it. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alleniv:
I would like this solution on my Xperia :D

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
I'm an IT Pro!!!

Hey! what about people who *are* IT Pros and Linux Admins? Maybe we can get the devs to give out the details in another private forum... where the criteria of entry would be a proof of your IT/Linux knowledge ;)

Just kidding ofcourse... but maybe this way more of us can help to make it user friendly.

The wait is killing me... but I'm a survivor!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
Amen, screw userfriendly. Give me a shell and I'm a happy laddo. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SuperUserMovado:
I have a simlocked X10 and there are no more attempts left to unlock the phone. Will root help me bypass the simlock screen, it appears to me this is just an app running after boot happens. Does anyone know of the name of the app/process to kill to stop the phone for checking for a legitimate sim card. I know that wosim, and airsim find a way through this somehow. However I am looking for a permanent solution where I can use my tmobile sim in the phone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Same - LOL...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
dude... *you* are the reason why the devs are not releasing the root...

try the search for a change... or ask google... or go cry to your mom... whatever

just kidding... (this wait for root has made me rude)

sim locks have nothing to do with root. there is no app or process that controls the sim lock. there are plenty of online unlock services which offer sim unlock code for a small fee.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] visitador02:
^^ What he said. Sigh, sigh. Why are there these people who just have to unlock their phones for free???? Sorry for going offtopic. Just tired of this constant query. Either there are lots of stolen X10 phones around or very very cheap people who are unwilling to pay for an unlock code. Please, don't tell me that you just did not enter the unlock code correctly. You have basically 5 chances to do so.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Have you seen the number of people who have "bricked" their phones just trying to flash latest se firmware?? And if they havent they sure are finding it difficult, and this is a relatively easy process.

I understand there are people more "clued up" present and would be able to manage the techincal "stuff" but if you look around and see the problems surfacing from normal flashing you will understand the stance the developers have taken.

No offence intended to anyone senior or noob.

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ddewbofh:
You make a very solid argument that is completely understandable from a GM release perspective. I guess we "experts" or at least somewhat technical people just find it a tad frustrating to be so close and have it held up because they're "noobifying" it. :)

Having bricked a number of Android devices myself in the past and semi-bricked this X10 I fully support their decision to wait until it's more reliable.

I'm just venting, sorry about that. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gfgodoy:
The first G1 root method was "hard" for me, it had several steps on terminal and such. I was kindda worried but once it happened it felt great.

With good step by step guide any normal user can do it. , I don't think that one click solutions will be possible for this phone, Noobs should just ask for help and be informed that it could harm his phone.

Anyway I agree with the devs partially. It should be released when it's SAFE for everyone, but if it's hard or not, well, easier methods will arrive later on :)

Just hope you guys can also hack the bootloader so we can cook some ROMS.

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] proyaz:
Still Waiting eagerly !!

At first it was the wait for the root (which was really really long) and now its the wait for releasing the root .. :(

Im a IT person myself and ya, I think its more helpful for non-IT people when they get a nice and easy thing to handle rather than a long list of "To Do" things ..

This "wait" is more deep than the previous one but still, we have to face it. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Delisaber:
Hello everybody,

i'll buy a new PDA..there are two option for me..hd2 and desire..

Which one would you recommend?
[HD2 General] RaiderX303:
depends what you plan on doing on it

HD2: bigger screen, winmo, HTC Sense for Windows, less apps on marketplace

Desire: Smaller 3.7" screen, Android, HTC Sense for Android, Market with 1000's of free apps.
[HD2 General] Jamison904:
well if you are talking about the US tmobile HD2 or the desire... I would say go with the HD2. They both run HTC's sence UI, which is bugy. I am an Android fan boy all day long. But a HD2 running a cooked ROM is night and day difference. The App option on the HD2 is slim to none, during the screen size with the best internet out in my option can be beat. plus the HD2 as flash. either way enjoy.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
If you like to tweak and playing with your phone ultimately, like to customize the home screen, go for HD2. If you just want a phone for everyday use, all apps gather around in 1 place, easy to find, then go for the Desire.

For multimedia: big screen of HD2 wins over, watching movies without the need to convert. Music and photos are also a joy.

For games: HD2 is better with Fpsece, it wins everything. Android quite lack of good games.

For office and email: HD2 wins again, with Office mobile and exchange server.
[HD2 General] orb3000:
Wrong section!

This is the wrost place to ask for that:eek:

Go and buy a Rhodium!

The best hardware keyboard device to date:cool:
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Totally agree lol:D
[Android Apps and Games] cracksmurf:
Most of us have a basic understanding of how augmented reality can be brought to the cell phone. My idea consists of AR versions of some of the classics. Any programmers out there willing to give this a try? I don't know if all of these ideas are possible, but think they could be real fun.

AR Pacman - You are big round and yellow with a never ending hunger. Run around eating up pellets that appear floating in front of you. Don't forget to keep your eye on the radar for ghosts. If one is closing in on you you can turn on him and see him floating there in front of you as well. Eat a power pellet and chase him down. Team up with friends running the app to clear the stage faster.

AR Asteroids - Sit yourself down in the captains seat of your own star ship (spinning chair for best effect) and take on incoming asteroids. As you spin around you see asteroids coming from every direction. Keep track of possible threats and weapon/armor upgrades via the radar.

AR Pong - Place yourself in front of a wall or other opponent and move your phone left or right to hit the incoming ball on screen.

I can go on and on naming different classic games that would rock like this, but you get the idea.
[Android Apps and Games] MillyMoo106:
AR Pong would be awesome
[Android Apps and Games] voixonline:
I am currently developing an AR card game

The goal is to display the cards as if they are on the table in front of you..

you can check my post here or the game is in the market called "Brainy Cards" at the moment the background is a panorama but i'm working on using the camera as the opengl background..

If you check the post here you can see the pictures and the direction I am headed...
[Android Apps and Games] Fluffbutt:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bam_bam_imma:
is this possible? Please dont say no jus because YOU dont know.

ive been to flash2boostmobile.com but im not sure if its a scam or not.

im getting ready to FINALLY buy a hero but im not sure if itll switch over.

Someone please help me.

Many,many thanks well in advance
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mdawg112:
I'm not for sure, but it doesn't look real to me. Usally stuff like that has more pages and stuff like that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
I don't believe this will work as Sprint uses CDMA and Boost (although owned by Sprint) uses iDEN. iDEN is basically a SIM version of CDMA but doesn't work with either. Boost does offer something that lets you use certain Boost branded phones on Sprint's network however.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbobino:
For the select handsets operating on Sprint's CDMA network, I would assume yes to 3G. The iDEN network, from what I'm reading, is a different network so I have no idea on that one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aven_soulgazer:
It can be done, just not likely a legal way to do so.

What Sprint phones will work on Boost, and how do I get ____ on Boost (part 2)

1.5 Is it possible to use other phones on Boost CDMA?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
I've been thinking about the Boost thing to I know the only thing that would stop you is if sprint has some sort of subsidy code on these phones. I've had two unlocked gsm phones and the only from tmobile to at&t. I had to get the subsidy from tmo to get it to work on at&t then had to hack the phone to get the mms and internet to work. There is a guy on here that has successfully flashed his phone to metropcs so it is definitly possible. Only problem is that you would have to constantly fix your apn (depending on how often you change roms)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlem26:
First, as others have stated, the comment about boost being iDen is only is not correct. Boost has iDen and CDMA. When I looked into it the only phones you couldn't put on Boost appeared to be the Android phones. I know there are other ways to do it but not sure if it is ok here to talk about that.

I am considering trying to get my Hero on Virgin Mobile though, the new Beyond Talk unlimited Data/txt/messaging plans for $25+ is just crazy.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverspooncells:
I wouldn't trust them as their information is incorrect. Boost Mobile is not 4G, nor is any of their phones capable of running on 4G.

Plus their price is just ridiculous.

We do the same thing and we are the originators of it. we started with BoostBerry3G.com, then SilverSpoonCells.com and now we are doing it for 30 different websites and 49 stores across US.

If you wanted to get this done check out the original Sprint to Boost Mobile Flashers at SilverSpoonCells.com.

All Sprint Models with a Clean ESN/MEID are compatible except: HTC Hero, Samsung Moment, palm pre, palm pixi, and BlackBerry 8530 Curve 2

In very rare occurences some Samsung Instincts have showed up as Incompatible.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlhop911:
1st-- THERE IS NO FLASH FOR BOOST

2nd-- Boost has BOTH CDMA AND IDEN(nextel sim only)

3rd--the only Droid phone u can get on Boost is the one they sell

4th-- only SPRINT phones can be activated on Boost(search here and Howard Forums for a list)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bk718:
1st -- you wouldn't be flashing anything to switch networks, thats a given (its not a ROM)

2nd-- you bringing up boost having cdma and iden a year later is pointless... this is definitely known already

3rd-- the only android phone you could "buy" from boost is the one they sell

4th-- heroC is a SPRINT phone, thus why this is in this particular forum, so did u not just contridict your 3rd point u made???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
I'm Also Curious about this topic... if Anyone can Confirm this one way or another Please PM me!

Moderator Request: Please Sticky this.

Public Request: Please only post replies with pictures of screen protectors that you have applied to the droid incredible.

Please refrain from posting unless you are putting up images of the screen protected phone.

There is a lot of discussion about screen protectors and threads all over the place. Many of us are confused which screen protector is the best and many have ended up buying what we don't want, like me for instance. I hope to consolidate pictures here so that we can all know what protectors will look like and help others.

This Review: Phantom Skinz Matte Finish

I got the Phantom Skinz "matte finish" and here is a mini review with pictures.

Application: A little tricky with the whole dipping in water and applying.

Adhesive: Top notch, as if its part of the phone.

Clarity: Very poor, speckles the screen a lot.

Cost: $15ish for the full body from amazon.

Anti Glare: Pretty good, almost no reflection.

Here are the images:

As you can see, it makes the screen pretty grainy, but sticks fantastically and does not bother the VZW silicone case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] seanmcd72:
This thread needs pics that are in focus to be worth looking at let alone calling a "guide". Obviously it's hard to photograph the phone/shield but it should at least be in focus.

Here is a Zagg Invisishield:
[Droid Incredible Accessories] contagous:
Very nice quality photos :), btw what case have you got around your incredible in this photo?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] k.electron:
Actually all the shots with the screen turned on are in focus, just couldnt get it right with the screen off. not to mention my point and shoot is less powerful than my DI.

the other shots, the blurriness that you are seeing is from the phantom skinz protector, so those are very accurate, that is how you see the screen.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] mrchambo:
Steinheil Crystal Clears are da bomb! No comparison with the others...ease of application, feel, clarity. Will have to wait and see about durability after a while, but I am impressed!

Have tried a couple of no-names and the Phantomskinz before the Steinheil, not to disparage the others, but the Steinheil is in another league IMHO.

the thing that drives me crazy about all these zaggs and bse's and what have you are those ripples. you can clearly see them in almost all these pictures.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] seanmcd72:
...which have NO (zero) affect on what the screen looks like when you are using the phone. (at least on the Zagg)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] seanhassars:
yeah, I know, but it still bothers me haha

I just got my steinheil Crystal clear today. I'll post pics later tonight when I put it on.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] whiplash000:
Avoid Steinheil anti fingerprint like the plague. They blur the hell outta your screen. I heard good things about their crystal clear model though. I ordered the anti-fingerprint and asked Steinheil if they could exchange their anti-fingerprint for the crystal clear while simultaneously ordering another crystal clear. So I'm gonna get two sets.

I'll sell the extra crystal clear I got for $10, free shipping. I'm from the east coast, so if you're from the east coast too and you want it faster and cheaper than ordering from them (it's brand-new and unopened btw ...when it gets here), drop me a pm.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bocondo:
I have got Best Skin Ever, pretty good.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] skleper:
I might have missed it, but doesn't it have a scratch-resistant glass like HD2? If so, why would you ever need a screen protector?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] br125:
I live on the beach.. sand + glass screen = scratches

hence: scratch 'RESISTANT'
[Droid Incredible Accessories] skleper:
check this out [YOUTUBE]NcEaehKWr2s[/YOUTUBE]

you still think that sand will do anything to the glass screen?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fiyawerx:
Yes, it can. There's plenty of sand and dirt around for someone to try rubbing on their phone and take a video, there's generally a reason people don't include examples of how "sand won't scratch the phone" in these showoff vids.

If metal won't do it, sliding it across a wooden table won't either right? Drop some specs of sand/dirt and then do it, throw up the vid, and then I'll take my protector off. Maybe.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] br125:
exactly, sand scratched my eris pretty easily.. sand is harder than metal and glass sir.

edit: someone's gotta get that guy in the video a cloth

boxwave anti glare pics

it would be awesome if someone could post a shot of the boxwave anti glare in the sun light. I have seen some review shots of the incredible in the sun and it does not look great, so i was wondering if the anti glare actually makes a difference. I've used both boxwave and zagg before and both are adequate.

So anyone with some day light pics of the boxwave anit glare?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rfarrah:
FWIW, I went from the Zagg to Phantom Skinz. Literlly went through 3 protectors trying to get it installed correctly. The last one I tried took me 3 times to get it on where I liked it. FINALLY got it perfect yesterday. And I like it. :D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] topdnbass:
We need more picture comparisons with a naked incredible side by side.

Also, this poll is incomplete, can somebody add Zaggs invisishield?

Or remake the thread.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mattymo:
I just ordered the full-body Zagg Invisible Shield for my DI. I can provide some before and after pics if you guys want.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Kulaa:
I use Ghost Armor. Wish it would cover more of the screen but it will do. It was very cloudy for a day, but has cleared very well. I like it over the invisashield as the strength matches but I can move my finger along it. I have the full body cover but it probably covers 70% (Maybe same as other products).
[Droid Incredible Accessories] balaams_ass:
I love the feel....

I have tried to install 3 of these. I love the feel and the look but I'll be damned if I can do this without some particle getting under the screen and these particular shields point out these particles like a red nose on a wino.

I've done every suggestion. Bathroom with shower running, air dusted the vanity, washed my hands, stripped naked, shot the dog, turned the A/C off, you name it I've tried it.

I'm going back to ZAGG which are less pretty but at least they hide the errant particles better.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Yodes:
My thoughts exactly, the Invisishield is one of the top if not THE top selling smarthphone screen protectors out there. I use one myself, so theres another "vote" for Zagg Invisishield.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] andydrives2fast:
What clock and calendar widgets are these?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ThugEsquire:

[Droid Incredible Accessories] kborer22:
the case seen here is a standard case sold by verizon, the red gradient. I have this exact same set up and i am extremely pleased. Been using zagg's for quite a while now, and i don't think i'll change. I used a boxwave screen protector on my old phone and i was not happy with it at all, always seemed to make the screen look fuzzy.

So about that case from Verizon, it's listed on droiddoes.com under the accessories, but for some reason it is not listed on their website. I went in store and asked, they had some in the back and i was able to get one no problem.

Any news on adding the zagg to the poll list, i'd imagine it's close to the top of the list...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gedster314:
I just installed the Steinheil Crystal Clear. I love it. It is one of the best screen protectors I have used. My only complaint that the second peal off film sucks. Every time I squeegeed it would film would catch the squeegee and bunch up. I screwed up the first protector but the second one went on flawlessly.

I had Best Screen Protectors Ever and I thought they weren't. I have one on my Iphone and after a month the the film isn't self healing. The film now has bumps and ridges that just never leveled back out and I never liked the orange peal look on the screen.

I also had the Boxwave antiglare on my HTC Touch, it was durable and lasted a long time and was reusable. I loved that I could just pull it off run it under the faucet, shake it drive and reapply with a credit card. I didn't like the look. I'ld be willing to do their Clear film next time.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DesertWildman:
The admins probably have polls set with a max number of choices & non-editable.

On a side note, Seidio screen protectors... anyone?

I would love to find a decent oleophobic screen protector. The fingerprints on all I've tried drive me up a tree.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Doctor Butts:
I tried out the Zagg InvisiShield. Applied it per the instructions. Squeegeed the heck out of it. Did not like the feel of the protector as I used the phone. Texture of surface took too much away from the resolution of the phone. I got rid of it. Perhaps I'll give the Steinhel a try.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SoCGHOST:
I just put on the Ghost Armor skin and I have to say, its very clean looking. Its tricky to install, and although I did my best, it still ended up crooked and with a few pieces of lint under it. Even with those few minor problems, it looks great. No problems with the surface, nice and smooth and very clear. Its pricey but it looks to be worth it. Its only been on a day, so I cannot comment on durability, but so far it looks tough enough.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Diggindude:
Yup 4 months now...ghost armor good.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Gornul:
I've had Ghost Armor on mine (full body) for 2 months now, stuff is excellent. No impact on screen clarity or touch receptiveness. I had mine done at a local mall kiosk, and their service is top notch. If there's anything at all wrong with the install (a small bubble under the surface, on my first) they'll replace it no trouble.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
Well... I used a Zagg from the day that I got my Dinc which was ordered pre-launch. The screen was clear but even after all that time a tad on the tacky side (as in sticky not cheap).

Today, I decided to remove it.

The slickness of the screen was a bit surprising as I never really used the phone without it. Use of Swype is much easier as the finger doesn't stick if I press too hard.

Since I have a case (Innocase Active) and carry the phone in my left pocket screen in towards my thigh, I don't really expect to have any problems with the screen.
