Mine had a big hunk of crap on it. Before I even took it off the backing, something was stuck between the protector and its backing. Some orange piece of grit, like Cheeto dust or something.

I thought about trying to return it but I decided it's not even worth bothering with for $2. I've used invisible shield in the past. I may go with them again, even if it does cost more.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] PcFish:
Don't need to order another one just dump the screen protector in water, that gets rid of all the dirt. As long as you have wet hands, you won't leave fingerprints.

I dumped the thing in water and put it on my slide, a couple hours later it's crystal clear. I love it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] sl0play:
Ordered a few of these a month ago and loved it. Still looks perfect on my wifes phone.

I sold my slide and bought a vibrant but waited to get a screen protector for it until xtreme guard had some for it.

Been using this brand of screen protectors for about half a year. They go one sale all the time for $1 so I just loaded up on motorola droid ones. They are great screen protectors. There pretty much the same as invisibleshield. Il never buy invisible shield again! Ive had my droid one on since February and Im going to replace mine now just because its so cheap. I throw my droid in my pocket with my keys all the time and its still clear :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] ab0m:
I found this to be the case too, these things are amazing. Perfect fit, both times I applied them. Use a little bit of soapy water when applying, it helps to slide it around. Don't use heaps, just a touch. It won't do any damage to your device if you're careful, just be mindful of dust and fibers getting caught underneath the protector when you're placing it down.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] trobing:
I have to say I'm glad I decided to listen to (read?) this suggestion. I love the screen protector.

Being able to adjust the position of the protector before it is (semi) permanently set on the screen is great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] OuncE718:
I just got the full body version for $5 flat. That's shipping, and tax included. I was a little annoyed with having to to wait about 5-6 hours for the protector to dry since you have to use the soapy water solution for it to work. Some parts of the body isn't holding up too good, mostly the side pieces from when I put the phone in and out of the leather case. The screen to my amaze is holding up very well. Its very clear and sensitive to touch. WOULD I EVER BUY ANOTHER PROTECTOR FROM XTREME GUARD? surprisingly, yes I would. The reason I would is mainly because of the fact that I can adjust the protector for the perfect fit since it uses soapy water to adhere. The cons of this method is the long wait. the instructions advise an 8 hour wait. That honestly is too long of a wait if your phone is your life. The outcome is amazing though. Its worth it!

Ehh might have been the way you put it on i don't know but i do know one thing it works awesome on my phone if it gets a scratch in about a hour or less its all most gone like a self healing membrane or some thing... one word AWESOME!!!

But you know 8-9 people on here had great reviews about it one didn't so you make up your own mind about it... what its like 2 bucks can't beat that...

Edit : Forgot to say had it for 3-4 months now and not one scratch on it...

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] sethrajat:
no offence to any one but i've had a really bad experience with Xtreme Guard. i bought a screen guard + full body protector from Xtreme Guard on 06/27/2011, for $10.00 and got a mail from them on 06/29/2011 that my order has shipped. now even after almost a month i have not received my order, moreover i have sent them 3-4 mails and posted comments on their web site several times even sent mails to Allan Burningham, (who had sent me the order shipped mail) but have not received any reply till date.

i have been in fact looking for a platform from were i can make others aware that they run the risk of paying for an item and not receiving it, if they buy from Xtreme Guard they buy on their own risk.........
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] VoicesX:
I love this protector.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] Brew78:
I've had one of these on my phone for awhile now, and its good and bad.

The cloudiness of the backside does fade after awhile, making it pretty clear. Dissolves in the soapy water or something, I dunno. Either way, it's not a big problem. Be sparing with the water but use enough to get the job done, keep some paper towels handy to soak up the water that does get squeezed out when squeeging the surface.

It does, however, have some wrinkles in it. I'm not talking about folds in the film as much as it looks like some areas caught traction while others didn't when applying the screen, causing ripple-looking tug marks that never went away. Its not especially distracting while using the phone, since looking directly at it makes it pretty clear with the backlit screen and all, but when the screen is off, looking down at the phone it just looks kind of beat up.

The thickness of the film does feel like it adds some real protection to the screen, but its actually WAY too thick on the bottom corners. I had to take nail clippers to both bottom corners, since they'd constantly catch anything that rubbed against them (like the inside of a pocket). They'd peel up just a little bit and start building up debris made of dust or pocket lint or whatever. Clipping off the corners and making them a little bit rounded did seem to help, since it hasn't gotten any worse since.

Overall, I'd say they're "good". If you do choose to buy them, use care when installing so as to not soak your phone, and be careful when squeeging so as to not damage the surface of the film. Also, before doing anything, use some nail clippers to round off the two pointy corners. This film is *very* thick and *will* catch on things.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyx3:
Is it possible (or is there already an app) to enable/disable vibration based on phone orientation?

Specifically, it would be awesome if the phone would know to ring and vibrate when it's in my pocket (vertical-ish orientation), but just ring without vibration when it's flat on a table.

I know there are apps to silence a ringing phone by flipping it over, so it seems like this would just be an extension of that capability, yeah?

Many ppl seem to want to reinstall mediascape..

well as far as i know you can't reinstall mediascape after rooting; however, it is possible to NOT DELETE mediascape in Step 4.

You follow the root guide in the stick up to step 3, then before you run step 4 (well i guess it's better to do it before you start rooting) open cleanup.sh in step 4 and remove mediascape and mediascapeplugin from the list... so it should look like this

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
rm -R /sdcard/apps
mkdir /sdcard/apps
cd /system/app
cp AndroidQuadrapop* /sdcard/apps

rm /data/app/*.zip
rm /data/app-private/jp.*
rm -r /etc/semc/startupshow
rm -r /etc/semc/preset/app
rm -r /etc/*.iso

then run step 4..

personally i don't know exactly what's changed on my phone other than the fact that i now have a zeam home launcher instead, titanium backup says my phone's been rooted, i didn't have to restore anything because everything (all data/apps i installed personally) were kept the same, mediascape still there, and i lost korean keyboard/option to switch to korean menu which came with the R2BA020 update...

oh and my step 3a wasn't working properly so i just skipped it.. but regardless i can type 'su' into better terminal, and titanium backup says my phone's rooted so i don't really care..

although if the devs could release another one with the korean keyboard/menu from the new R2BA020 update, it'd be great :P

oh and i went from x10a(rogers 014) -> x10i (R2BA020) -> root
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Fuzalert2k:
Thanks Dude!!! This is just what I needed. No timescape?? What if I wanted timescape, is there a way to prevent it from removing that?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
it doesn't remove timescape..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Retrying for the fourth time, I managed to root the phone, then I saw you could keep mediascape, and the original keyboard... tried opening and saving the sh file with notepad, wordpad, write... don't know if it modifies something but once we get to the uninstalling part I get 'No such files or directory'...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
found the solution, do not edit shell file in windows with notepad,

works pretty well on windows, so you can decide to keep whatever you want :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
So what i understand is that If I want to keep the Default home then I should be removing the Launcher from the list as well. Also is Backup and Restore Included which is there in new firmware.... as I do not want to go for limited backup tool.

What is the best GPS program (ie. Garmin, tomtom, etc, etc) to use with the T-mobile version of HD2 for North America (mainly Canada.... especially, West coast B.C.)?
[HD2 General] MYermakiov:
iGO8 with latest maps from Navitel. Covered all states (+islands) and Canada, detailed landscape and POI(even phone # for restaurants) and smart routing (compare with crazy coPilot).
[HD2 General] focuswiz:
When I go to their site, I see lots of entries for European versions but no US version. Can you provide a link to a US version of IGO8 or is this something where we have to cobble the maps together with one of the IGO8 European versions?

Sorry if this question is dumb or "obvious" but I could not figure how to install IGO8 so am using Copilot.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] zapras:
EDIT:

Having trouble keeping the program focusing, so does not work yet.

It's a basic program which makes sure the display doesn't timeout while TomTom is running. Devices such as the HTC Maple and the HTC Excalibur doesn't support this function natively.

I have only tested it on my HTC Maple and it works fine. The default path to TomTom is \Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe

It comes with two programs, one is for launching TomTom and the other one is to change the default path. I suggest copying the files into your TomTom folder, but it doesn't matter. Remember to create a shortcut to the launcher and add it to your startmenu for easy access.

It could work on the HTC Excalibur but I haven't tested yet, so If someone could test and reply to this thread, that would be great.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] onesolo:
Hmm?!? I've been using WinMo for quite some years, since Qtek S200 and also serveral different versions of TomTom, 5 6 and 7, and I never, but never saw my pda going timeout due to TomTom...

The same I cannot say of iGo8...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnes:
I think the timeout being referred to is when you have a PIN setup? I am going to download and try on Diamond - will post result.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ross202:
Can it be used for Garmin as well?

I don't know about Tom Tom but I have the same issue with Garmin - could you modify this app so that it will so the same for Garmin? WOuld be greatly appreciated:D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] onesolo:
What pin setup??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zapras:
Your right, I've used the HTC Universal and that work fine for TomTom. But with phones such as the HTC Excalibur and now my phone the HTC Maple, the TomTom times out. So the problem probably vary with different phones and maybe even different TomTom version.

Have you tried using this program with Garmin as well? Even though it says its for tomtom it could be used for other programs.

If it doesn't work its probably because your device has a different pvDevice name than my HTC Maple. The pvDevice name is needed to access the power functions on the phone (Mine is BKL1: ). What is your device name? I could check the pvDevice name and update the program to work with your phone and my phone :)

Thanks for the prompt reply. I am currently using my old iMate JasJam (runs wm6.1) as the GPS chip on my HD2 died. It is - hopefully - being repaired as we speak. However, as I am off to the Czech Republic in a week for a holiday I may have to use it instead. Nothing worse than having to restart the phone every 5 min as you are walking around trying to see the sights.

Don't know what "pvDevice name" is or where to find it. Under Device settings in wm6.1 it says my model no is Herm100 and Platform is PocketPC using CRCs rom version r13.5 but I'm guessing that's not what you are referring to.

I will try just installing it and see what happens. Any further help would be greatly appreciated as this app would be brilliant.:D

Edit: 1: Just edited the "Save TomTom.exe path" file to point the Tom Tom Navigator launcher to Garmin instead. This has worked to launch Garmin instead of Tom Tom but it still cuts out after a few minutes. I also have S2U2 running so I will add Garmin to the Exceptional Exe list on that and see if that helps.

Edit: 2: Still turned itself even after adding to S2U2 Exceptional Exe's!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zapras:
Im really sorry. I just did a full test today and It seems even I can't get it working :(. The screen stays on but it loses focus after a while. I'll start working on it now!

When you say "cuts out after a few minutes" is that the display turning off? Or just Garmin losing focus?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ross202:
Nothing to apologise for - just to have someone develop such an app and make it available for free is a privilege - wish I had the knowledge and skills to do it.

To answer your question, the screen turns off - I have to press the screen-on button at the side of the jasjam, then navigate to the Garmin program launch icon and press it. The program comes back up to where it left off so I guess it must still be running in the background. Of course, when I am on external power this is not a problem - it keeps running. OK in the car but not much good when walking around.

I have noticed that in System/Backlight settings the screen is set to turn off after 5min when on Battery Power so I have unchecked this option, ie screen shouldn't ever turn off. This seems to be working; however, when Garmin is turned off I then have to remember to reset the backlight-off timeout otherwise I'll quickly have a flat battery.

Nowhere near as elegant as your app promises to be.

Have had Garmin running for past 10 min while I have been typing/composing this reply and it hasn't dropped out ..... yet.

What do you mean by "losing focus"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ross202:
Further to above, I have had Garmin running non-stop since the above post - 30 min - so unchecking the "turn off screen backlight" seems to have done the trick. Now I just have to go through the nausea of manually checking it again in he system properties.

Thanks for your assistance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zapras:
Its just like your desktop, when you are doing something in a window, be it typing, mouse clicking etc, you are focused to that window. But as soon as you click another window your focus changes to that window. So whats happening with this program is its focused on TomTom for around 30s but then it is losing focus to something in the background. Nothing visually happens on the screen, but as soon as I press a key it switches to the background. :(

It sounds like even the backlight doesn't stay on for you...

Hopefully I can figure this problem out by soon, when I do, ill post :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ross202:
For your info, I have two settings that seem to be relevant both related to Battery Power:

1. Settings>System>backlight>battery power> uncheck "turnoff backlight if device not used for ..."

2. Settings>System>power>advanced> on battery power> uncheck "turnoff device if device not used for ..."

When the Garmin first turned itself off I noted that "1" was checked and set to 5 minutes and "2" was checked and set to 2 minutes. 2 minutes seemed to be the time it took before the phone/screen turned itself off. Once I unchecked "1" the setting @ "2" was irrelevant.

Re loss of focus - no, the screen went blank. When I pressed the power on button for the screen the "today" screen came back up. I then pressed the program launcher>Garmin and Garmin resumed where it had left off.

Hope this helps. Regards Ross

1. What are GelaSkins?

GelaSkins are thin, laminated vinyl decals designed as scratch protection for your tech devices against everyday wear and tear. They feature a removable 3M adhesive that won't leave any residue behind should you want to remove it.

They are either really cool, but thin decorated stickers. On the other hand, they might be like the "puffy" stickers that you can buy at a craft store. Either way...if you want your phone to look cool, go for it. I don't know how much "protection" it gives, but I am thinking it might be like ZAGG where it prevents scratches, but that is about it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] booyakasha:
Yeah, thats the trouble im having with them. If they were a little cheaper it would've been an impulse buy for me, the more I look into it though, the less interested I am. Maybe over a ghostarmor or something like that, I wish they had some hard cases though...i guess it would be a gelacase then, huh? :rolleyes:
