Review of the Invisible Gadget Guard | Screen Protector Shield for HTC Aria

Better then the one from at&t...

Size

...still just a little too big. The need to take a millimeter off the top. Also, the hole for the track button is a little to big... or I could have just stretched it while applying, but I'll get to that. Otherwise I am happy with the fit of the protector.

Application

Be afraid. If placing a near dripping wet "vinyl" sheet on your phone doesn't sound like a good idea, then this protector is not for you. This application method dose provide with a wide margin of error, if your like me and fail at applying screen protectors 50% of the time. The downside to this is as the protector will bend and wrinkle making smooth application difficult. Application tip: take the back off your aria and place the phone on a washcloth. That will allow the water that is forced out to run away from the phone and be caught by the washcloth.

Look

After application your display will appear off for a few min, but as the water evaporates, that will go away. The next day the display will be fairly clear, and not much worse then the hard plastic sticker screen protector. In my case the protector was not quite smooth, but that could be my 5 failed application attempts. While this is slightly annoying, is not a major issue.

Overall

This is not a bad screen protector, but has quirks that you may not like. It is better then the default at&t protector, but as new "hard" protectors come on the market, it will fall to you confidence and personal likes and dislikes as to if you choose this protector.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dochood:
I tried this and totally ruined it. It looked like crap when it was on, with lots of gray areas, and the bubbles wouldn't all come out.

I tossed it in the trash and just chocked it up to more money wasted, because I read on the web that they will fight you tooth and nail if you try to get a refund.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Yoshiofthewire:
When I did it I had that problem, but I pulled it off before it stuck, added more water and tried again. It really did take like 5 tries to more or less correctly apply the stupid thing.
[HTC Aria Accessories] cranked:
Just installed mine. It seems a bit cloudy. I didn't think application was difficult, but the necessary use of water is unnerving. Hopefully it clears up as it dries.
[HTC Aria Accessories] kura808:
Just got mine in the mail and applied it today. A bit difficult but it's pretty good. Just got that cloudiness like others have mentioned. I'm guessing these are fine,tiny bubbles. I read in a few places the cloudiness will take sometime to dry up (about a week to cure completely). Apparently this material is tough stuff and if the cloudiness disappears, it'll all be worth it xD
[HTC Aria Accessories] ariaFTW:
Hope it clears up. Keep us posted. Still trying to decide which screen protector to buy.
[HTC Aria Accessories] stickbo:
Great review. You almost have to install these things in a clean room with robotic surgical devices to get them perfect. :)

I ended up going to bestbuy the other day and getting a zagg for an incredible. It was just a smidge bigger but came out damn near perfect. It is almost the exact size in width and the speaker is perfect, but the bottom is just about a 1/2 too long, so I had to trim and use a hole punch. Super disappointed in zag for not releasing the right cover. Jessica from zagg tells me that they have a cover the they are not releasing it yet and have no release date in sight. grrrrrr. I know the hd mini zagg is supposed be a good fit to, but bb did not stock that cover.
[HTC Aria Accessories] cranked:
A few days on, and the cloudiness persists...anyone seeing any improvement?
[HTC Aria Accessories] dagwud:
That's interesting, given that it's on their web site and I didn't see anything that said it was not yet available. Of course, they might tell you that AFTER they take your money. But I could just be cynical.

Post Script: I've got the Invisible Gadget Guard, and it's ok. What's perfectly applied is fantastic. But there are some places where it looks like there are small air bubbles underneath. Reapplying simply changed the pattern. They were originally annoying but, 2 days later, are decidedly less so. However, positioning is a pain.
[HTC Aria Accessories] McFinigan90:
Apparently Jessica from Zagg is a dirty liar.

A quick check in here.

I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller called jusage. I paid a cool $7.67 for the Invisible Gadget Guard film PLUS car charger (generic 12v cigarette lighter adapter to micro-USB), and FREE shipping. A pretty good deal, in my view.

Unlike Zagg's, the kit includes neither a vial of "Apple sauce", nor a swath of chamois, not a squeegee. But I installed Zagg's films many time before and am quite comfortable with just a sauce of water (with one 1 tiny drop of dishsoap), a credit card, and a microfiber towel.

The fit is ideal. All cutouts are perfect. The film went on without any issues. After having dried overnight, the film is invisible now.
[HTC Aria Accessories] splox3006:
Same here I got the Gadget guard from ebay with the charger.. Only took 5 mins and let it dry good to go. And the charger is not a to much of a POS!!
[HTC Aria Accessories] cranked:
9 days since I first installed, and all the cloudiness is gone...in fact, I had forgotten about it all week, and actually thought of it this morning and had to look for edges to see if it was even on there! Patience is key, but I have to say after a week, you can't even tell I have it on there.

Fit = perfect, no bubbles, no cloudiness...

Definitely giving the Gadget Guard 5 stars...highly recommend.
[HTC Aria Accessories] littlerob904:
Ditto. I put mine on about a week ago. Application was easy. It is certainly not "invisible" as I can still tell it's there. The cloudiness is gone, it did take a while. There are no air bubbles like you would see with cheap protectors. It was easy to install, I ordered it from amazon and paid a few bucks more than most people, but I'm happy with it. Now, if only my amzer argyle case would ship...
[HTC Aria Accessories] beazie0885:
I put the invisible gadget guard on about a week ago, I wouldn't say I'm having issues with cloudiness, as much as little pin sized dots all over the place, in clumps (which could be the so called "cloudiness"). its definitely not air bubbles as air bubbles would be bigger. Its causing a little pixel distortion on a plain white screen.

As I said, it has been almost a week and no real improvement.could anyone tell me if this is the same issue they are having or had? Or when these god forsaken dots will go away?!?

This was the first experience I've ever had with invisible gadget guard. I have however, applied three invisible shields (on other devices) with no such issue.

Thanks in advance for any input!
[HTC Aria Accessories] kura808:
Overall I like it. Cloudiness disappeared but there's like two specks of dust under the guard. Just as long as it does the job, I'm not complaining.

Got the free car charger too. Hehe
[HTC Aria Accessories] taro_boy:
I also purchased the Aria protector combo (screen + back + car charger) from jusage on eBay. Best-offered him $12 shipped which he promptly accepted. I ordered it the same day I ordered my phone from AT&T, hoping it would arrive at the same time or before the phone did. The phone arrive first, 2 days before the Gadget Guard.

Having read and viewed the installation instructions and video online (I was also sketchy about the water application), I decided to keep my phone untouched in the box until the protectors arrived. When they did, I washed my hands thoroughly before opening the box and removing the plastic from the phone. I washed my hands again before beginning the install of the protectors.

The fit of the film for the screen is dead-on. The fit for the back is okay, with cut-outs for the camera and htc logo. Make no mistake, due to the rubberized material, it's tricky to install the back film. I decided not to use water on the back (did on the screen though) because I wasn't sure the rubber wouldn't absorb the water or allow it to dry once the film was applied. I was meticulous with the application, using a credit card to slowly ease on the film from top to bottom before using a microfiber cloth (microfiber = no lint) to wrap the edges. When all was said and done, it looked pretty good. I had to peel back and re-install one edge of the screen to get rid of a pesky air bubble, but the back was pretty solid on my first try.

The next day, one of the top edges was peeling back. I pressed it back down and it re-adhered itself, but about 20 minutes later, it began peeling again...just enough to catch some lint. I tried 3 more times to clean it with water and reapply, but each time it would peel up. Finally I decided to just cut it off.

Today, two days later, the opposite corner started to peel up. :(

I emailed jusage through eBay and explained the situation to him. He replied the same day, apologizing for the trouble and saying he was sending me a replacement back film at no cost.

I'll update when I've received the replacement back film, but overall, I like this product. You can't beat the combo deal of a front and back protector film AND a car charger, all for $12 or less shipped to your door.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mercianary:
Does anyone think android would benefit from a grace period on the screen timeout.

This really bugs me, but I am unwilling to increase the time the screen stays on any further because of the battery life on my device being so bad.

Would be nice if after the screen turned off you had a second to touch the screen, it would come back on and you wouldn't need to unlock.

I bet its even more annoying for people who use unlock patterns.

Would this type of mod be possible or worth it? What do you think?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
the guide worked great.

it's gone to 1.15, is it safe to do the OTA update it's asked me about? it won't remove root? or more importantly trash my desire?

** i did search on the root thread about apps2sd but it refers to using linux (which i dont have)

i did have a look at the nimbu root guide, which includes an addition to add apps2sd, but it's for an older boot loader .75 and i'm on .80

can i just follow that or do i have to flash a new rom on there?

basically, i'm happy with 2.1 really till the official comes out, just badly need a2sd.

thanks guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
hi im on bootloader .80 and used the files at the nimbu tutorial and it works fine, just drop the zip onto ur sd card and flash it from recovery, make sure u wipe ur device first tho :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
If you do the OTA update you will lose root, so therefore lose A2SD.

Why don't you just install a custom 2.1 rom with A2SD already in it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
Rolf can you post some roms with apps22sd with sense please i have bbeen looking but i cant find any apart from modacos
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j_simon208:
This is simplze.... its been rooted correct? Download ROM-Manager(on the Market), flash the Clockwork recovery(its the only option by default). after that is done. go to the option PARTITION SD, choose 512 for ext, and 0 for swap. It will put the FAT32 first and the ext second as required for the A2SD+. THEN Go and download Modaco mcr3.1 rom (it is based on a stock rom, with HTC Sense) You get all the goodness ROOted fone and extras from Pauls ROM including built in A2SD+ :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambrecht:
Hi, I've rooted my phone earlier, and have tried a bunch of different rom's - in all this going back and forth, my bootloader has been upgraded from 0,75 to 0,80

If i now put this Modaco rom on my phone,and then when there is a OTA from HTC can this be installed on the phone (i know the rooting dissapears) and my phone will be unrooted and like out of the box?

Regards from sunny Denmark
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Try THIS ONE
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
thanks.

i presume to get apps2sd+ ii need to go through the online kitchen?

would rom manager let me flash this one?

e.g Pays-ROM Desire Sense v2.0 Dalvik+A2SD (RockSolid)+(BraveSoul OC)[06/06/10]
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
ok, i tried that rom in rom manager, and selected to clear cache/data. it reboots,but i get a drive image with a '?' above it. tried twice and no joy

am i missing something obvious here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
I did exactly this and I'm very very happy. The extras include A2SD+, WiFi Tethering, Wavesecure and much more.. best thing I've done in the past few days :D

Hopefully this weekend I will do something interesting that doesn't involve my phone.. oh except it will cos I'll need to use it to take pictures, phone people and find people and possible provide a portable WiFi hotspot if the need arises lol!
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Hello, all. I am currently running the free version of Advanced Task Killer, which seems to work ok, but there has to be something better. What I've noticed is, that after a reboot, the app will tell me that I have about 240 MB of available memory when all apps are closed with the exception of the task killer itself.

However, by the end of the day, after I've opened and closed a few apps, sent some messages and emails, made some calls, etc, the task manager will show significantly less available memory available. It could drop to as low as 135 MB with all apps closed with the exception of the task killer.

This leads to me to believe one of two things:

a) The Task Killer is full of it and it does not have an accurate read of how much memory is actually available.

b) The Task Killer is only able to "kill" certain tasks while others remain running in the background and it does not show that the app(s) are actually running.

Honestly, I think it is option B, because I do notice that when the app tells me that I have less than normal available memory, the phone does tend to function slower and lag a bit. Nothing that cannot be fixed by a powering it off and on, but I am hoping that someone knows of a good app (even if it is a paid app) that will actually bring up ALL tasks running and kill them. I've also noticed that even with this task killer, Google Talk (which I have never used) always remains open in my phone and I have to manually go into into the settings and turn that off.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] Tikerz:
My suggestion is to not use one.

I do use Autokiller though which tweaks the thresholds for Android's internal "task killer".

It's best to let Android do it's thing.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Really? Do you mind elaborating on why you feel that way a bit so I can understand? Because I do notice that when the I am running a bunch of things at once and I use this app to kill the tasks, it does improve the performance of the phone.
[EVO 4G General] PAPutzback:
I can understand why some people say you don't need one but I do think it is necessary to have it installed for when you do. I'd rather kill apps than pop the case, battery cover and battery to fix a frozen phone.

I have some GPS apps I run occasionally that after exiting them they don't turn off the GPS or lock the GPS on and drain my battery. So for those apps where the developer didn't put a close buton on the menu it helps shut them down. I don't know why Google Market doesn't require apps to have a close option.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
get OS MONITOR from the market
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
Because users shouldn't have to manage their own memory. Apple folks already love laughing at us for that very reason, and even though it pains me to say it they're absolutely correct.

I can certainly buy the argument that task killers are nice for those occasions when something does go haywire and it needs to be forcibly killed, and I can understand using one just because you're curious and want to see what's running and how much memory you have, etc, but beyond that I find that they're unnecessary. My EVO runs very smoothly without me manually intervening, even after many days of uptime with many apps running.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Wow! That's detailed and a lot more than I bargained for....lol. Thanks! Good thing my phone is rooted and I was able to use it since I never did the recent update to the 1.47.xx OTA update and I'm waiting for a fully functional version to be released, but there is a lot of stuff on this that goes well beyond my basic knowledge. Apparently, my phone has 89 processes running with no apps running (according to Task Killer) and only one widget running and the CPU is fluctuating at 10-40% usage.

Interestingly enough, but apps report the same amount of available memory......EXACTLY the same. So it can be assumed that both apps provide an accurate figure of available memory.
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
I would advise against using a Task killer. Android has its own memory management, which works extremely well on the EVO, to be honest. The latest update (1.47) feels like its makes the EVO perform much better and allows it to be more efficient.

If anything, I would suggest you read this thread about an app called Autostarts, which isn't a task killer, rather a startup manager that can be tweaked to do many different things. By not allowing certain things to start up when your phone boots, you'll have more memory to begin with and Android will be more efficient in memory management. I would try Autostarts before using a task killer.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I agree, but having to run a task killer is a small price to pay to not be part of the iPhone bandwagon crew, IMO.

Are you running a custom rom on your phone? I just have a rooted stock rom. Maybe that's why your phone can go days without the performance being affected? I still have all the bloatware on mine, and I've put off removing it because I am still a noob at this and I'm in the learning process. I wonder if the new update that was just released improves this aspect of the phone at all.....?
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Thanks, I will definitely look into it. All advise is appreciated as I am very new to all of this. You answered my last question on my previous post with this, too....:) I can't wait for a fully functional rooted OEM rom to be released with the goodies from the new update to try it out. I'm hesitant to update my phone now and lose superuser as I use the WiFi tether a lot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angasreid:
I need to send my phone in to have the screen replaced, but they did give me a disclaimer. They said should the phone not be able to be reflashed, they'd have to replace the motherboard.

Anybody send in their phone with a different ROM loaded, or should I just restore to factory before sending in?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elite67:
should be in QA anyways I had my bootloader unlocked sent it in to HTC and they replaced the motherboard meaning the IMEI was different but I have the same phone come back to me because the serial number stayed the same weird. But came back in a locked state. try to make it as stock as possible when I spoke to the rep they said they gave ma a courtesy repair..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I sent my phone in with the unofficial ERE36B installed (with locked bootloader) and they reflashed it with ERE27 for me.

And it would appear they forgot to set the S-ON flag as well, so yay me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amdathlonuk:
I sent my phone off for the 3rd time this week. Each time I have been unlocked and had a custom rom installed.

1. Teflon peeled off on the chin (March 2010)

2. Dust under the left bottom corner of screen (May 2010)

3. Dust under right top of screen! (June 2010)

The 3rd time I rung them as I am currently in California on business, I asked for a straight swap (as I know they do in the US), and they happily sent a replacement to my supplier in Orange county for my attention.

Boxed my old one up and they collected and delivered it to HTC today.

VERY VERY pleased with the service they have given me, each time I received my original back, it had been reflashed to locked and stock rom.

What was amazing is how dirty my trackball was, it was virtually black in comparison to a new handset and I treat my N1 like a baby.

However I'm pleased we can now root without unlocking the bootloader, guess what I'll be doing when I get back ;-)

HTH.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angasreid:
Interesting Amdathlonuk. Did yours go to Houston TX? Or a different facility?

My N1 was mailed off end of June, overnight. It was scanned in on July 2nd. I'm finally getting the phone back tomorrow. It's taken three weeks to get the damn thing back. My service experience has been awful.

I was using a RAZR for the time being, because I couldn't get a G1 Dream to work on ATT. I was able to get it activated and have been using the G1 for the past three weeks. I thought that I would be happy with the G1, but I'm ready to throw the stupid POS into the ocean. That phone sucks. Just get me my N1 back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbaltzer:
That's discouraging for me. I sent mine back a week ago (got delivered Monday), for a supposed straight swap. I still haven't heard anything back from them. A swap shouldn't take 4 days?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] teejayenator:
Hey guys i was just wondering if it would be possible to have a soft semi opaque curtain over the wallpaper we use on the sense so that when we use a white wallpaper it wont blind the white lettering of the sense. There is an option to modify the transparency of the wallpaper when assigning it to the titanium home screen. Was just wondering if this could be made available for the sense or an alternate to enable us to use white wallpapers without the blinding effect

It will be good idea to have Huashan/Oboe Phone Dialer for cooking the WM6.5.3 rom.

A lot of solution are available but it isn' possible to use it all.

So, a complete package solution will be valuable!!!!

1. Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220152721_0 doesn't work with 3.04

2. Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220152721_0 with Oboe phcanhtc.dll problem with outgoing calls

__________________________________________________

Use together the follwoing packages

Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220152721_0

Voice_Recorder_2_0_20113911_0

___________________________________________________

or use the one of the following packages with Caller ID fix:
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
Em... I don't think it's too hard... Like this:

1. Phone Canvas from Huashan also requires the VideoTelephony from Huashan.

2. Phone Canvas from Oboe requires Slot_Manager, PhoneCanvas from Oboe to start, and won't make outgoing calls. If you want it truly useful, you also need to edit Slot_Manager(I don't know how).
[Windows Mobile] totalcmdext:
Did you try the combination of
