I went ahead and ordered a Clarivue anti-glare today, but I must say, their website SUCKS. Timeouts, kept saying I didn't have cookies enabled, has random weird validation on inputs but don't tell you how they want them, etc..

Only good thing is they have free shipping and active coupons.. Use clear123 until the end of the year to get 10% off.

I'll post how it does when I get it in.. I'm just looking to keep the greasy smeary oily crap off my screen, it's difficult to get off unless I use some cleaning solution, even with a microfiber cloth.

That is, if the order completes....... It's timing out, again...

Just get clarivue. And you'll get lifetime warranty replacement! Best deal ever.
[Nexus One Accessories] erikiksaz:
So far I've tried a few different brands of screen protectors and I've found that the clear protectors are more or less all the same. The anti-glare protectors do hide smudges, but I personally think that the weird rainbow diffraction pattern they reveal just destroys the look of our screen.

So, the only real option for me is to use the clear protectors, but these typically reveal smudges just as much as using no protector. Some actually make it even harder to wipe away smudges. How I fixed this was to use a light car polish on the protector. I used Klasse All In One, which is a combination light polish and a base layer for their sealant. After polishing it, I used Klasse sealant (which is not a "wax," although a wax should work after polishing, although it wouldn't last as long as a sealant).

What this does is to smooth down the surface of the protector, and the sealant fills in any remaining little dips. My protector is super smooth now, and it repels finger prints pretty well. I tried just waxing the screen with a pure carnauba wax before, but it didn't help one bit.
[Nexus One Accessories] khaytsus:
I'm going to give these things a week before I make my final decision but here's my early thoughts after having it on for about 1.5 days:

Oil/smudge resistance - No better than glass screen itself. Put it against the face to talk on it, and there's a big oily smudge on the screen.

Oil/smudge cleanup - WORSE than glass screen. The protector is 'rough' (since it's anti-glare) and the oil tends to stay in the (very small) dimples. I imagine this makes it harder to read as time goes on, as I don't think it'll ever really clean.

Before someone says "Wash your face", save it. ;)

Of course, those two are the main reason I decided to try it... But I'll be fair, but continue to the worst one..

Readability. Sucks. Sucks. SUCKS. EVERYTHING is fuzzy, speckled, nothing is sharp, white screens are random weird pixels of color. This is the main reason I'm sticking with it for a week; just to see if this gets better. I don't see it really getting any better, but I'm going to see what happens.

I've put plenty of Best Skins Ever and I know it takes days to truly dry, before which there are often moire patterns or other weirdness and after it's crystal clear. This thing just sticks on immediately, there's nothing to dry, so I don't expect it to get any better. At this point it's morbid curiosity. What's impressive is that in a dusty house with 3 cats, I only managed one dust spec under the screen in the very bottom left corner. If I were going to keep the thing, I'd make an attempt to get it out. As it is, there's just a 1mm or so wide 'bubble' there, so it's not a big deal and it's not even in the visible screen area.

There is at least one positive.. It's more readable in my car as a GPS, and actually quite a bit more so. Now I see why my TomTom has a 'rough' touchscreen on it, anti-glare etc. But I don't see that with the anti-glare protector on my Nexus it's any more readable in direct or indirect sunlight.

$10 in the toilet. However, there is one good aspect here. When I take the thing off, it'll be like a BRAND NEW NEXUS SCREEN! Yay..... I might attempt to take pictures, although the camera rarely captures the real view of this sort of thing.

In a week if nothing miraculous happens, I'll be happy to mail the other one to anyone in the US who wants it, first one to PM me with their address can have it. I have my doubts that this thing can be re-applied very often, but I'll probably keep the used one to maybe use for road trips or something.
[Nexus One Accessories] ctbear:
I have been using dcmugen anti-glare for about a week now, and quite honestly it is less than satisfactory

I have pretty much the same experience as the post above me ^^^^^.....it does seem to resist fingerprints better than naked screen, but once you manage to get oil onto it (which is likely after a phone call, especially during summer time), it's almost impossible to clean it completely

And of course, the rainbow effect which is quite a big let down...it doesn't seem to improve at all after a few days

Bottom line, the screen protector is really well-cut and fits the screen really well. It doesnt affect the color of the screen a lot, besides the annoying rainbow colors
[Nexus One Accessories] chobie:
It's a given that Antiglare and antismudge screen protectors WILL have that pixelated look on your screen so whatever brand you're using expect those.

That texture is what gives them that feature.
[Nexus One Accessories] khaytsus:
I understand your post, but I want to clarify that I was not beating on Clarivue, nor do I think the other poster was being on the eBay screen protector guy, just in general we're both sorely disappointed in the results of the product itself.

I'm disappointed as I thought it was going to be "oil/fingerprint" resistant.. The "can't stand to look at the screen it's so blurry" was just icing on the cake.
[Nexus One Accessories] OJ in Compton:
I've been using a DCMugen screen protector for a day and while it seemed pretty well made for an anti-glare protector, it's already gotten a scratch on it just from slipping into my jean pocket. Kinda disappointed.
[Nexus One Accessories] khaytsus:
I dunno if I've gotten used to the screen or it's actually gotten better! I've kept the thing on for the last few weeks now and decided I'll probably keep it on. What I keep saying I'm going to do, and half afraid to do, is lift a corner and compare the screen.

I'm still not convinced the screen has "settled in" so I suspect I've just gotten used to the appearance of the screen through the matte protector. Only one positive thing about what it does to the screen, I can no longer see Pentile layout.. Of course it could be a bit like I can't see the mess in my computer room if I take my contacts out.

Hey,

All I'm wondering is there any way to make my Desire autosync emails Facebook etc.. on WiFi, but not on mobile data?? Is there an app or could somebody create something??

Thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
I'm not aware of such a thing. But until you figure it out or someone points you in the right direction, you can do this:

1. Go to "Settings" > "Accounts & sync". Disable "Background data" and "Auto-sync".

2. Keep the following 2 widgets: Wifi settings and Sync All.

- When you are in range of a wifi network, toggle on your wifi radio.

- Once connected, tap the "Auto-sync" widget to sync all your stuff.

- Toggle off your wifi radio when done.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwanying:
Download the rom from http://shipped-roms.com/?p=121

the EPF30 should be the newest EU rom rename it to passimg.zip and put on the root of the sd and restart it holding the vol - button and wait it should reflash itself.

(as of now) Doing so you will lose froyo and going back to US rom you will need to root your phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimateb:
So basically you are saying the switch is a one way trip? I can use the passimg.zip to go to europe rom, but the other way around i cant?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makaijin:
My advice is unless you really need Dutch TTS urgently I'd stick with generic froyo until the official EU version is also updated to group as well.

mytouch slide

I see a lot of mytouch slide owners here and I was wondering if rooting the mytouch makes it more efficient?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJAZ:
There are a few reasons why some might actually need root the most important being the ability to put your applications onto the SD card (a2sd). Some people love to fill their phones to the brim with applications and currently there is no stock feature that allows you to use a2sd. Another feature that rooting allows is the capacity to use a wireless data sharing application that would give one the ability to use their phone as a modem with any wirelessly enabled laptop or computer. Currently there are a couple of applications in the market that will allow the use of your phone as a modem but I have found them to be less efficient than the rooted solution and limited as free versions and somewhat expensive for the full featured versions. There is talk that the 2.2 (FroYo) system update will include the a2sd feature but I was told by a tmobile beta device and software tester that he is confident that a2sd and native data tethering (network data connection sharing) with a usb cable will NOT be features supported natively in the coming FroYo (2.2) system update.

Rooting is also good for simply trying out customized and themed operating systems in the form of ROMs. Some folks have a big problem with the tmobile branded "Sense" operating system (OS) that was shipped with the phone. I love the Sense OS and I was a hardcore "Cyanogen Mod" ROM fan ... I can't imagine using a Cyanogen ROM at this point but I will try a Cyanogen ROM once that particular ROM is released because those ROMs are usually very nice. As the rooting scene develops there might by a way to "overclock" the processor to a higher speed than the 600mhz clock speed the stock ROM and all root ROMs are currently set. There has been no such overclocking achieved or utilized with a rooted ROM for the MT3GS at this point. Overclocking reduces battery life so you really have to choose whether a subtle performance improvement is worth the loss of battery longevity throughout the day.

Currently I think stock and unrooted is the way to go as the ROM's that are currently available for the MT3GS are no real improvement over stock ... but if you need a2sd due to limited internal memory or you need a mobile modem for your laptop or home computer then it is absolutely worth while. So it all depends on what you are trying improve the efficiency of when it comes to rooting.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamikd:
Rooting

I really appreciate you answering my question :). I have a stock mt3g slide and I love the phone along with the Sense UI. It's fast, responsive and the only thing I was going to do was purchase a 32 gig card and be done with it :D. I started poking around the forums and that's how I came across "rooting". I just came from a jailbroken, unlocked Iphone 3g so I was totally stoked about doing this to my phone. But as I was reading up on it, I really did not see the purpose in rooting the mt3g slide just yet, besides like you said, the apps2sd and the tethering (which I did not know I could do on this phone until you mentioned it). I am a firm believer in tethering and I even downloaded the PdaNet app onto my phone but have yet to test it out.

My battery life is decent considering I keep 3g on at all times. Granted, there are a few spots that I travel to that have to use Edge but those spots are small. I saw a few videos with some nice roms but they all had the Sense UI removed and basically looked like every other android phone. I personally would like to "root" my phone while retaining Sense UI. I really like the "live wallpapers" and I have seen videos with it running on the slide and it looks really nice. Have you heard of an app called SetCpu <--spelling? I saw that people were able to overclock their chips significantly and I was wondering if I could use this same app on my mt3g slide?

I have it on good authority ( as the person sitting next to me at the moment can attest, that Team Cyanogen does indeed have a froyo 2.2 like build out for the G1, soon to be available for the MT3GS....It has native tethering, native JIT, native apps2SD, and native froyo gmail, changes to the market and native FROYO 2.2 calendar and many other tasty goodies......without all of the junk of a sense UI, so put all these inferior and one step backwards builds on your nice new shiny phone (like putting retreads on a Lamborghini)and get your heads out of your know nothing asses, and wait 2 months top for (as they say on many pizza boxes, you've tried all the rest....now try the best) a MT3GS cyanogen build

As excited as I am about obsidian's post (/sarcasm), it has no relevance to this discussion.

I'm also missing some paid apps with this ROM. Specifically Pure Calendar Agenda widget. When I get some time this weekend I'm going to try out another ROM and see what happens.

That being said, looking on Google's support boards, it might not be a ROM specific problem, but could be account related.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamikd:
