I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but mine got all scratched up in like 2 days. I didn't have a case on the phone at the time because radioshack didn't have any at time of purchase.

The phone had NO scratches and the Zagg got giant ones through the whole screen protector from what looks like my left thumb nail. My phone goes in my left pants pocket, so there is nothing else there. I had a Zagg on an mp3 a while back and had none of these issues. I don't know if I got a bum one or what, but it was promptly returned after a few days.

Has anyone else had issues with it getting really scratched up in just a normal use scenario? The guy at the store was shocked when he saw it as he uses the zagg products as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DraginMagik:
my mp3 player has a scratch line across its zagg shield. it acquired this scratch as part of demonstration i did for someone. (i'd done this demo a few times and all scratches had healed themselves). this time it was hit as hard as i dared to without fear of busting it. that scratch remains...the only scratch that has been unable to heal itself.
[EVO 4G Accessories] AnotherXDA:
I Zagg my screen, and it's got my vote. I typically abuse my phones but this is my first smartphone, so I wanted to care for it. It did take a couple days to settle in. When I used it on day one I thought for sure I'd remove it because it felt way too rubbery.

Sometimes I've got what looks and feels like a surprisingly awful gash, but a solid scrubbing with my shirt dissolves it quickly. I think because it's kind of gummy it collects crap now and then. Also, anything that presses on the skin (a nail, or something as minute as a crumb if I set the thing face down) leaves an indentation that lasts for an hour or so.

Only down side is that it does feel a little rubbery once in a while. I can't tell if it's humidity or what causes it. It's usable, and I can deal with it to keep my screen pristine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] axisofoil:
you only get the rubbery feeling when the screen is absolutely clean.

It only works if it has oil on it. Say... the oil from your skin. Rub it on your cheek and then wipe it with a lint free cloth... and it will be nice and smooth again.

I think that's why it doesn't show fingerprints nearly as much.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Soupskin:
I had it on there for 4 days
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
I had the full body kit on my old HTC Fuze and put a screen protector only on my EVO. I discovered a problem that I didn't have with my old phone though.

I ride a sportbike and use a tankbag to carry my stuff to work every day. Since the EVO is a much bigger phone, it didn't fit in the phone pocket, so I have been keeping it in the map pocket, which is a large pocket with a clear plastic covering. Well the other day it was hot and the top clear cover of the pocket stuck to the ZAGG on the EVO and when I removed the EVO from the pocket it pulled the ZAGG right off.

I planned to do a warranty replacement but I didn't know you have to send in the old cover so, I'm SOL. I've now got a Kindle screen protector that I cut to fit. It's matte and perfectly smooth. It'll do until I can order a nicer one online (it does cause a little distortion as it's really low quality but it was also dirt cheap at Wal-mart so it'll suffice for now).
[EVO 4G Accessories] rahb0sse:
Can we get some pics of it installed? I had this on my iPhone and HTC Hero but took it off because of the "slipperiness" of the screen... I don't like how my finger got slightly stuck sometimes.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Soupskin:
If you find a good way to mount it to your bars, please send me a PM and let me know!

I'd love to get mine mounted up high so I can see GPS directions and record video/snap pics too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jykinturah:
I use Swype on my Evo and the invisibleShield was sticky enough to mess with my input. I had it for about a week and a half, but I ended up getting another screen protector. I kept the back and side parts on.

I still have invisibleShield on my iPod Touch, and it is great. It was just that Swype so was much harder to use with invisibleShield.\

Edit:

BTW, OP, if you get dust or something on the invisibleShield during installation, usually run the sticky side under a faucet for a bit and that tends to help.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pinkxpinkii:
Mine already has scratches after only two weeks of use. And I am still careful where I place my phone. First go around with Zagg. I have used bestskinsever.com for couple of my old devices. It was better. And I might go back to it.

My Zagg Screen Protector review (WITH PICS)

here are pictures of mine. I took these pictures with my old blackberry curve, as I don't have any other camera. I can get a bigger size of these from my flickr account, if needed. I figure you should be able to see this and get a pretty good idea.

literally smooth as glass

you can kinda see the edges of the screen protector here.

I know these shots are NOT very good, its only the blackberry camera! but the screen protector quality doesnt look much different in real life. Its a good protector.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mistersquirrle:
I use Zagg on my Evo, and my old phone & iPod, and they've always worked good and never really felt rubbery to me. They will feel kinda sticky, or rubbery, if your fingers are sweaty or wet, and your pushing hard. If you're not pressing hard on the screen, your finger still glides across the screen.

I haven't had issues with the Zagg protectors getting scratched, although if you leave them in your pocket with keys or something like that, and pressure gets applied it can leave a imprint that can be hard to get out, although usually scrubbing the area with your finger for a while helps get it out.

On my old phone, I replaced the screen protector once because it did start to come up from the screen, and then pocket lint got under it and it got worse. At first I just cut the 'infected' area off, but it continued. I suppose checking your protector for flaws like that and doing what you can to stop them before they start is a good idea.

Anyways, when I took the protector off, it was difficult and when I took it off it stretched out a bit and it wouldn't have fit back onto my device if I had chosen to reapply it. It also was a bit "orange" or brownish. I didn't notice the discoloration while it was on the device though. So that wasn't an issue to me.

I put the protector on for both my device, and my dads device. When I put the shield on my dads device it didn't go on as smooth as mine (you can't tell there's anything on it really, there're a few very minor imperfections). His screen protector has some bubbles under it, and I can't figure out why. You can kinda feel the screen being a bit rougher, but my dad says that he doesn't notice them, or feel them, and they're not a problem for him (he is kinda old though >_>).

I suppose that's what I have to say about the screen protector, but I'm definitely going to watch for the screen peeling up, and coming off.

I think that Zagg is a great product as long as you can put it on correctly, and keep up a little maintenance on it, like making sure bubbles on the edges don't form, and such.

Sorry 'bout it being a long post, but meh.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ront75:
I had the full body shield installed on my phone last friday. only when i got home did i notice there were these vertical lines/streaks showing up on the screen part. it is much more noticeable on a white background and at certain angles it kinda has a rainbow effect to it.

i brought it back today and the "installer" said that that is common for their screen protectors and was hesitant to replace it. i wouldn't really bother about it but the lines are all over and distracting, there are even a couple right smack in the middle of the screen!

i've used invisible shields on my other phones and never had issues like this.

anyone with similar experiences/problems?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mistersquirrle:
Yeah, I have one little streak on my screen protector right now, but it's not very obtrusive, and I kinda think that it's fading or coming out a bit. I know that it's there, and there's only one so it doesn't bother me much. But that can occasionally happen, and with most screen protectors I think.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ront75:
yup, i know it's almost impossible to apply it perfectly on the screen, but mine had not one but multiple line/streaks on it. yes, the screen may actually be protected but it looks like it has been scratched up. what made it worse was the guy actually said it's normal :confused: so why call it "invisible shield"?

anyway i had them apply a new one and although the streaks/lines are alot less (i actually counted 4..lol) at least they are not smack in the middle of the screen. i guess i'll just deal with it for a couple of months since i just spent the $$ on it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cadbomb:
I also have the Zagg screen protector. I had this on my pre before the evo and discovered a particular issue I have with them... you can scratch them with keys all day long, but get em good with a fingernail or piece of plastic, you'll have lines forever, or until you replace it. I was demonstrating to a friend and whoops... so much for that... I have some clarivue screens on the way, so hopefully they'll not have this problem. But like all screen protectors, their intent is to take the scratching so your screen doesn't have to. There is one thing that does bother me the most about the zagg shields is the grip it gets on your finger... I think this type of shield is better suited for a non touchscreen phone. Fingers should move like there's melted butter on the screen, not like rubber cement ;). Just my opinion.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
Well, I'm in construction. I always have the phone in my pocket while I'm working. Also, I don't have the smoothest fingertips in the world, and they are sometimes covered in dirt. I try to wipe them off before using the phone, but I still have the ability to scratch the phone just with normal touching if im not careful. Proof of that was with my HTC Touch. I had it about 3 weeks, no shield, before the screen was scratched. I had that iphone s2ul app, and there was scratches from left to right from sliding it all the time. Another thing, I use swype for texting, and if that doesnt scratch the phone up while still in the realms of "normal use", then I'm happy with it.

With my Moment and the Evo, both with Zagg protectors, there are NO scratches! I wish you could see this in person. I dont have a cushy desk job, but a rough job, and the screen is still flawless.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
You're saying someone else installed it? They might not have smoothed it out well, or not squeegied out all the water from underneith. Another thing is, you have to be careful while using the squeegie because it can get caught up on the protector itself, and cause little creases or scratches. maybe thats what happened.

It seems a lot of these Zagg screen protectors are hit or miss. Some work, some don't. Id bet my money on installation problems causing problems later.
[EVO 4G Accessories] fifoloveritas:
I installed the Zagg last night and just peeled it off and threw it away 5 minutes ago. Horribly surface, even after applying friction reducing liquid.

edit: on the plus side, it did not leave behind any residue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
In the instructions it says to keep your fingers wet when putting it on to avoid that
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
yeah. I sprayed my fingers down, but they dried in the process. I was trying to emphasize the importance of keeping your fingers wet.

Why would some one want to port this in the first place?
[Desire Android Development] wph:
Dont think Samsung would use a TI-chip...
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
From GSMarena.com

CPU	ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s-3115.php
[Desire Android Development] wph:
Since Samsung bakes its own chips, it would be suprising that they would use a TI. Its the Hummingbird they use, indeed a Cortex A8.
[Desire Android Development] reg-sux:
same as the iphone 4 actually :)
[Desire Android Development] AlexMagik:
No, iPhone 4 uses a Cortex A4
[Desire Android Development] friedgoldmole:
@AlexMagik

Actually the chip is called an Apple A4 but confusingly its contains a Cortex-A8 CPU core paired with a PowerVR SGX 535 graphics.
[Desire Android Development] foxmeister:
Even more confusingly, the Apple A4 is allegedly pretty much *exactly* the same chip as the Samsung S5PC110A01 in the Galaxy S.

The reason is the Samsung chip was designed by Intrinsity in collaboration with Samsung, and Apple later bought Intrinsity (see here for more details).

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Open another thread to talk about Chips please o.O

Whats the thing u want to have this port? Better UI?

[Desire Android Development] Epedemic:
I have a borrowed a galaxy s for the weekend. Is there any chance the galaxy's videoplayer could be "ported" to the Desire? (This videoplayer plays divx/xvid/mkv up to 720p with ac3 audio!)

I know mkv might not work, but divx should!

So far i have extracted these files that could be useful:

VideoPlayer.apk

VideoPlayer.odex

Divx.odex

Of course the apk wont install just like that...

Any ideas (both the Desire and the Galaxy S are rooted btw)

[Desire Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
Thanks dude

I'm just here for the new live wallpapers, always nice to have some new sh*t. I was not impressed with the 'super' AMOLED on the Galaxy S at all. I'm still mind boggled how Apple cannot sue Samsung for all it's worth with this shotty iphone layout and whole physical look of the Samsung Galaxy S. It leaves me scratching my head how they got away with that. Looks like a normal Chinese iphone ripoff, but is in fact more rounded than a real iphone hah. Logically the screen is by far the most important part of a touch only device, so If we get into a screen war with future devices, Samsung is going to win everytime i'm sure as displays are their main turf. Goodluck

Please post the simple wallpapers from samsung gallery as well. I really need those.

[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Can anyone confirm if the media player (especially video player) is as good and efficient as it was in the Sammy Jet S8000? If so, has the ROM or video player been ported? My main gripe with Android has been the lack of a decent video player comparable to the S8000 hands down the simplest most efficient video player I've ever seen on a device.

Is it me or does the WM Facebook app never post your comments or often not send messages?
[General Questions and Answers] okyourabeast:
Personally I think the app stinks. Coming from a Blackberry, the app is much faster then what I was used to.

However it lacks a bunch of features that I was used to in the Blackberry version.

Sometimes it won't update my status, but if I post to someone's wall that goes through.

Agree. Is the worst version across all platform. I like either iPhone or Android versions. Those are so much better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] carguy4471:
I'm a Innocases rookie, never used 'em.

I'm wondering what the differences are between the Innocase II, Active, and Rugged.

Sounds like the active and rugged are multiple layer?? I was hoping for something that would fit in a holster, which sounds like the innocase II. I'd prefer something not as large as the rugged, but it looks like the active may be almost as large.

Anyone care to share some thoughts and details on the different innocases??

Cheers!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] lc3necro:
From my understanding the Innocase II is a single shell, the Active is a single shell as well but more rubberized, while the Rugged is 2 shells in one. It is the Innocase II for every day use, and comes with a "rugged" shell to place OVER the innocase II for added protection. I haven't used any personally, however I did pre-order the rugged (canceled my Amazon Innocase II / clip and opted for the Rugged option since the only place I would use the belt clip I would rather have the added protection).

Hope this sheds some light
[EVO 4G Accessories] carguy4471:
Thanks for the information on the rugged. I appreciate it. Their rugged combo value pack doesn't seem like a bad way to go. It's essentially 2 cases and 2 holsters.

More information regarding the active would be great if anyone cares to share.

Cheers!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
The active case is a shock absorbing rubber with a hard spine that attached over top. These kinds are pretty good. I've used them on my other phones with success. The innocase II is just a shell with felt inside. That being said, I dropped mine 4 ft onto concrete and my phone survived (was kinda shocked!). The case is all crapped up though. I'm using the active case now and very pleased.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KyleK29:
I've used both an Innocase and lots of China-made (Ebay) cheapies for previous HTC phones. From my experience, the Seido Innocase is not worth the money. These types of cases are tend to design to break when you drop (preventing the phone from breaking instead). I can't see why I'd want to replace a $30 Seido case when I could easily just use a clone design from a cheap China maker for $6.

My G1 case was china-made and it was excellent. But I had learned what to look for, there's two types of china cases from what I can tell. The super-cheap (quality wise) "rubberized" cases which are a very thin (easily breakable) plastic. These are usually white with a black spray-paint (the inside is white). The better quality ones use a more giving plastic (less breaking of the holding clips) that is usually black with a rubberized texture sprayed on. *NEVER* go for the ones that are white inside.

If you're going to spend the money, get the better designed ones (Active or Rugged).

Just my .02 cents.
[HD2 General] KruseLudsMobile:
I created videos showing the dramatic difference (before vs. after) but then realized this site does not allow me to upload videos (and I am too lazy to set up a utube account).

The 16GB Micro SDHC card that comes with the T-Mobile HTC HD2 is only Class 2 and is a very SLOOOOOWWW card (also class 2 cards are CHEAP, that is why it is INCLUDED FREE). If you watch the Transformer movies installed on that card you will discover there are a few times during the movies where the screen momentarily freezes. Also if you have alot of songs on the card, when you scroll over to the media player you will see it takes forever for the media player tab (about 45 seconds) to display anything. Even a game that comes with the unit repeatedly freezes and is not playable because of the speed of the card - under games, try the game called "Ferrari GT Evolution". It is a great game but it is unplayable on that card.

I purchased a 16GB Class 6 Micro SDHC Card and it came today. I copied everything from the old card to the new card. WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It is about $60 but is makes a VERY big difference in performance for everything mentioned above. For instance, the Ferrari game mentioned above does not freeze at all (and loads much faster) and also when I scroll over to the media play tab the delay before that tab becomes useable is only about 3 seconds.

If you want a SAFE great way to really improve the performance of your unit, replace the old crappy Class 2 Micro SDHC card with a Class 6 version. WOW.

(BTW, my main reason for getting this card was also that it took too long to take a photo and then to be able to take another one immediately afterwards. Now that is MUCH faster as well. A workaround would be to not use the card for picture storage but I prefer to put them on the card.)
