Wrapsol now has a protector for the HTC EVO. I had this for my Hero and it was great. They just put it on their webpage today, just ordered mine.

Enter the promo code "chatter" for %20 off. www.wrapsol.com
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
How does this brand differ from any of the others that are out on the market, or, have you not used any others?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] twin001:
I've used the screen protectors from the Sprint store as well as the ones from Wal-Mart. Those are difficult to apply and you will always get bubbles. The wrapsol is very easy to apply and I had no bubbles. Also, it doesn't haze up as much as the Sprint/Wal-Mart protectors. I believe Wrapsol has a lifetime warranty as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
do you just use the screen protection, or do you install the full phone protection?

I am curious how it fits around the camera/LEDs. plus how it sticks to the sides, since its such a narrow side channel on this phone cover..
[EVO 4G Accessories] seven30:
I've installed two of the screen protectors sold at the Sprint store and have no bubbles whatsoever (one clear, one anti-glare). No haze either. They weren't difficult to apply and look great. Maybe the ones I bought are different than what you tried (I have the 3 pack. 2 clear, 1 anti-glare), but I don't have anything bad to say about them.

I never owned this product, but they were at the gdgt.com show I went to (in Chicago). First off, the guy had it on his iPhone and told me that it's impact resistant...I said "Huh?", he took his iPhone and dropped it from shoulder height (He was 6'4")...nothing happened to the phone.

Second, the stuff is durable feeling...it's weird to explain, but it's got this hard enamel feel to it.

Lastly...it doesn't have that orange peel look/feel to it. It's a nice product. I think I'm going to buy it myself...

and seriously, if one of you tool bags think I work for the company, or am being paid by the company, or anything like that...go screw yourself.

[XPERIA X10 General] puddy7:
Anyone know of how to retrieve deleted messages on the Xperia X10

I'm pretty sure text messages are saved on the phone rather than the sim (ruling out any sim retrieval programs you can buy on the net) but I may be wrong.

My best friend is having problems with her daughter getting mixed up with the 'wrong' people if you know what I mean. She wants to check the messages sent and deleted on her daughters phone. (she's tried talking to her etc but to no avail so is getting desperate) She's not very techy at all and can only switch on and make a call on a mobile. Not that I'm claiming to be much of a tech myself.

Anyway she asked me if I could help....

I can't seem to find any way of storing sent messages like on other phones so that's that idea gone, just wondered if anyone had any ideas or advice.....

hmm not bad..

"Unlike the default Android home screens, the Samsung home screens always start from the leftmost side (like an iPhone), making you swipe through 6 screens just to get to an app or widget on the 7th page."

he can click on the circles to access the 7th page immediately, which is faster than having to "multi-touch" to get an overview of all screens and then selecting..

"The Samsung unlock screen is in our opinion more confusing than the default Android 2.1 unlock screen"

lol......... he can swipe it any direction he wants to access the phone.. how is that confusing..

"To post something on Facebook or Twitter, you have to use the confusingly-named and designed Write and Go app, which looks more like a notepad."

design looks fine and simple to me of write and go..

"There are almost no delays throughout the system (except when installing apps, as on other Android phones); programs open and close almost instantly,"

yay, phew.. many were complaining about slow and laggy browsing so that's good to hear.

nice battery life test :D and that's with 100% brightness which I will never use, so that's cool =D

strange that sony x10 performs so bad... I would not have expected that..

[HD2 General] elburna:
Hey everybody,

I am using my HD2 for a while now (7 Months) and monitor my battery current with BattClock. One Question i asked myself after trying several musicplayers (CorePlayer, WMP, MortPlayer, S2P, Nitrogen etc.) and of course ROMs is, why the consumption is so high and if there is a way to optimize.

The HD2 constantly consumes about 90mAH (WMP) to 115mAH (SensePlayer) while Playing music (screen turned off) and i dont understand for what all the energy is needed, because this leads to a maximum usage of about 10 hours (or significantly less if you switch songs sometimes and have to turn the display on).

Compared to other phones like p.ex. my old Touch HD (about 15-20 hours with a slightly bigger battery) this not thaaaat much in my opinion. Even my old Samsung YP-Z5 MP3-Player (800mAH battery) lasted easily for about 25-30 hours. I am aware of the fact, that this is a dedicated MP3 Player and is optimized for listening to music in a powereffective way, but this significant difference is a mystery to me :confused:

I guess some of you might cite, that the phone funcion etc. has to be added to the drain produced by the player but my standby consumption is at about 4mAH so this cant be the crucial point. Same counts for the processor load which should be very very low while encoding MP3s...

So my question is, if anybody has got an effective tip or trick for lowering the battery drainage while listening to music. I have to say, that i dont necessarily want to switch to another player than Sense as i like the interface and the great integration to Co0kies Hometab.

Thanks for your answers and experiences. The ideal case would of course be if anybody else has got some additional data from a batterymonitoring application to share here.

private Timer timer = new Timer();

AT Override // the at sign is being blocked here so I've changed it to AT

Hello

THIS THREAD IS OBSOLETE. PLEASE CLOSE.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ROOT DIRECTLY FROM 1.32.651.6 WITHOUT DOWNGRADING.

EDIT:

This is only confirmed to work with 1.32.651.6.

Refer to toast's reply below to understand why it might not work with other versions.

STEPS IF YOU WANT TO DOWNGRADE FROM STOCK .6 to STOCK .1 (NO ROOT)

1. I installed the latest RUU 1.32.651.6 found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695604

2. And I was able to downgrade back to the original one found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835

IF YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR STOCK .6, JUST DO THE FOLLOWING:

3. Then did toast's root tutorial and got to the recovery and everything:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690762

4. And am back to the rooted 1.32.651.1 with the ability to get to recovery and flash roms:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693980

On step 2, the RUU was not able to reboot my device into the bootloader. So I booted into the bootloader myself (hold vol down + power on) then plug in the usb, select fastboot and then start the RUU from the PC. It installed like a champ and brought me back to 1.32.651.1.

Hope this helps everyone who decided to upgrade.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
perfect!!! thanks for doing all this, testing and documenting your process. i was concerned with being limited between which versions, root process, recovery versions, etc.

this is great to know and should remove any doubts/concerns anybody has about jumping into the fray of flashing/experimenting/developing!
[EVO 4G Android Development] J3STUR:
Yeah I had the ota RUU 1.32.651.6 installed, then found a method close to toasts method, rooted, flashes flipz stock rom, flash radio update, back to 1.32.651.1 with the radio update, still rooted!!! I even tried the froyo rom and thought it was cool, but waiting on more functionality version, so flashed back to stock rom, still rooted! Even thing works great (no 4g in my area so dont know about that.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
It's not that the current ruus won't allow u to downgrade. It's that every time u flash a newer ruu, u are gambling with root. Go look at the Eris and hero forums and u will see. I'm not gonna promote the flashing of ruus because I know what can happen. I have a eng ruu that is older and it can not be flashed because the mainversion is lower then the current mainversion. My goal is to inform everyone of the risks involve in flashing the newer ruus. The fact of not being able to downgrade isn't something I made up. U are just lucky that the newest ruus don't set the mainversion past the bootloader limit for downgrading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toenail78:
Re: [howto] downgrade from OTA 1.32.651.6

I remember we were told excessives flashes can cause problems but with my htc diamond for the past year i was ruu updating weekly using different roms with their latest releases on my diamond is still going strong.. i like to say its user specific but i could be wrong

[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
appreciate your feedback, knowledge and experience toast.

seems like the most accurate way to state this is flashing a newer RUU puts the EVO at risk of not being able to downgrade (or use root, wifi tether, custom ROMs, etc)

hopefully we will be able to detect when this change takes place, by md5sum on hboot.img and compare to previous versions. it didnt seem to change between .1 and .6 . hopefully it wont change in the future! once the md5sum changes, i'd say the risk of not being able to downgrade increases significantly!

although, ive only had an HTC phone with android for 3 days now, i could def be wrong in my analysis ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
I mean it could be the .1 and .6 doesn't matter. But idk

[EVO 4G Android Development] FuManChuu:
So, semi-floating off topic. It turns out that ultimately the unrevoked root doesn't really do much, and apparently isn't enough for custom roms... if I was going to want to flash something custom, would I need to FIRST follow this guide to downgrade, THEN perform toasts root?

tl;dr - does toasts root work on .6?

Re: [howto] downgrade from OTA 1.32.651.6

Yeah - if you are on .6, just do steps 2 and 3 then flash whatever rom u want using toast's recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I installed Sprint's official .6 by mistake, but was able to do steps 1 and 2 of your guide. I can see I'm in version .1 in my phone settings. However, when trying to follow toast's instructions from your step 3, I can't even do "adb push". When I do "adb devices", it doesn't see the phone. So I manually copied the PC36IMG.zip to the SD by mounting the USB and went into Fastboot. It did see the ZIP file and scanned (blue progress bar on the right). It actually looked like it scanned it twice, but, at the end, I didn't get an option to flash it. It just went back to the original 4-option fastboot menu. What am I doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] npace:
Re: [howto] downgrade from OTA 1.32.651.6

Sounds like it fails when it checks the rom. Make sure htc sync is installed on your pc then boot the phone, connect it and instead of charge only, select htc sync. Then, do the adb push stuff and try again.

And dont go to fastboot this time, just boot and wait and it should ask you whether to flash or not

Hi,

I am a longtime Windows mobile user (started with the Cassiopeia in 1998), but I am ready for the switch to Android. Are there other former windows mobile users on this forum and , if so, how did the switch go. Any issues with Exchange Server sync? Also, I love using my WinMobile device (TouchPro2) as a USB drive. I have a briefcase folder on my storage card and can easily synchronize files within this folder with 2 PCs. Does Android offer similar functionality. Any other tips and pointers?

I made the switch a while ago from a whole slew of WM devices to a Hero. Trust me, you will never look back. There is nothing I ever used to do on my WM devices that I can't do on an Android. USB storage included. Plus, you'll actually ENJOY interacting with your device (especially the Evo) which was a very welcomed change for me. Do it.

I am a BIG WM user since inception. I have always enjoyed some of its features and definately its customization. The processors didn't catch up with the OS experience( in truth the WM OS needed a lot of tweaking ) but now with the newer processors the experience is much better but still not good enough for me to look back. I made the move the Android and will consider WP7 when it comes out. I live in and out of Routers and Windows Environments.

Exchange works great and I have moved a large group of clients over to the HTC Incredible and another group this week. They wanted the Apple IPHONE but without the potential of having an extra battery to carry around they had a problem with that. That was their decision not mine as I don't care either way as long as they pay me ;)

They like the Exchange Sync and so do I. Is it perfect? No but it does work well. There are many ways to secure an Android to MS Exchange experience. They tested out the phones for 30 days and are more than happy to make the switch.

You won't regret it and if you do then you can always get the HD2 or HD2 T9193 that will support AT&T 3G.

Good luck and happy Androiding :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffolkes:
if you want a good exchange experience, i recommend the app "touchdown". you have to pay for it, but it's far, far better than htc's exchange syncing support, and the dev frequently updates it.
