does the ghost armor cover the whole body like the body guardz do? or is it just the basics?(ie. screen, back, battery cover...)
[Captivate Accessories] bwolmarans:
wet the crap out of it. get some soap on there and rub it off. go mad. you can get it perfect.

BUT warning on phantomskinz be careful, I had my phone in my pocket with a metal money clip and the edge of the money clip jacked the **** out of the phantomskins protector just with regular walking movement. I'm bummed. Thank god they included 2!
[Captivate Accessories] Ivizoid:
Is there a screen protector that is Anti-Glare and Anti-Fingerprint? I used to have the Anti-Glare from AT&T for my iPhone and I loved how smooth it was, it took away the glossy feel. AT&T only has that regular ones for the Captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:
I'm looking for something for my captivate that is very similar to this:

http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/iphone-4/anti-glare-film.html

I know they only make mac accessories but I have one of these anti-glare protectors on my Ipod touch and for me nothing compares. love the matte finish, ultra smooth :)
[Captivate Accessories] dwmoss:
I've been pretty pleased with the "skinomi" screen protector. Haven't seen them mentioned on here too much.

[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
I've tried anti glare screen protectors and like the finnish. But the ones I tried for the cappy were lacking adhesive on the edges and didn't reduce glare enough, actually I can see through the glare on a gloss surface and find the sub par screen protectors more annoying.

I am using an invisible shield now. It forms a wavy surface but is ultra clear. The samsung videos suggest that this glass oas supper hard and can survive most abrasion without harm but I'm not taking chances.
[Captivate Accessories] rb.:
i tried other screen protectors but this is my favorite. http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/cPath/23_29/products_id/1557 its very easy to apply, cheap, no need for water. but attracts much finger prints as the other clear screen protectors w/o anti-fingerprint properties. try this one and you will be satisfied.
[Captivate Accessories] Blazork:
They also cover the sides and the top. My friend has his whole phone done and loves it. So far I have just the screen and its awesome.

Screen is 15-20, whole body is 30 I think.
[Captivate Accessories] ThorGR:
Another vote for the Realook. Feels almost like the stock glass, is ultra clear, and not too bad fingerprints wise. Cleans easy too. Installation was dead easy, no bubble, no water.

I've also tried the ScreenguardZ anti-glare and hated every second of it.
[Captivate Accessories] gflare:
I'm tossing in another big recommendation for Realook. Easy non-water application and great clear screen (no orange-peel effect). Feels like glass, but shows fingerprints (which you easily wipe away like any glass surface).

I had the Invisible Gadget Guard clear screen before, and disliked the orange-peel effect. The IGG was good, and protected the phone without showing fingerprints, even healed itself over time. But it didn't feel like glass, and wasn't quite as clear. Not to mention that misty-room full water application is NOT something I recommend for people who don't know exactly what they're doing.
[Captivate Accessories] commander2k:
Lol 16 pages of differenet opinions. Someone should make a poll! That would really condense down all this information and definitely be very useful
[Captivate Accessories] jslee1020:
Search "Realook" on Amazon. They are like 11$ shipped... pack of two. Great quality... crystal clear screen protector. Feels very smooth.
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
ya. i've got a 10% coupon for that if anyone wants..i don't need it
[Captivate Accessories] rassler:
I'll take the coupon code. I'll actually be ordering the screen protector later today. Thanks! Just send it via PM I suppose.
[Captivate Accessories] sturner83:
I like the look of the stealth guard screen protectors, but not the quality. I don't know why, but I just like to be able to see that I have a screen protector on my phone. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm crazy.

I'm looking for something like those, but obviously the correct size and overall better quality of material.
[Captivate Accessories] bird333:
Has anyone used all of these the SGP UltraClear, Phantom Skinz, and Realook? Which one do you like better? Do the Realook and SGP type protectors protect as well as the Phantom Skinz or Ghost Armor types?
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
I just picked up the SGP Ultra Clear and will post pics and a review once it arrives. I didn't like the orange peel effect of my last zagg, so I figured I would try something else. Didn't see the Realook on Amazon.
[Captivate Accessories] tietherope:
I picked up a SGP UltraClear. The clarity and feel is amazing, you would never know there is a screen protector on there, until you look at the edges that is. The top and bottom edges will not stay down at all and as you could imagine dust will get under there at some point. Today is my 5th day and I have a small hair under the edge on the bottom now.

Also, if you put the screen protector on and it looks like there are defects in the protector, give it a day to work itself out. I saw a bunch of marks under the protector, so I took the first one off and put a second on. This one had the marks too, but I had no more screens so I just left it and they went away. If I knew they would go away I would still have a spare screen laying around. As I don't though, I will be ordering a realook protector for when too much dust gets under the edges on the SGP UltraClear.
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
I am thoroughly AMAZED at the screen protectors I got from ATT at a discount (3 in a pack). They are 100% optically clear and SMOOTH as glass. Absolutely no orange peel effect and you CANNOT tell they are on there. All I did was spray it lightly with a mix of distilled water + baby shampoo and put it on, pushed out the rest of the water that was under it and all is good now.

I have tried BodyGuardz, Zagg, Stealth and some generic eBay BS. Every single one had the nasty orange peel effect and was much harder to apply than the ones from ATT. The ones from ATT

can be put on with no liquid

, but if you want, I suggest a mix of distilled water + a drop or 2 of baby soap. It is insanely easy to get the water/bubbles out of these screen protectors from ATT ;) also usually you have to give all other screen protectors 24-48 hours to "cure" and dry up. Not the ones from ATT ;)

My vote goes for the ATT ones. Smoother and 100% clear ;) + at 10$ retail, you can't complain (you get 3 per pack)

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...038&q_sku=sku4770252&q_manufacturer=&q_model=

The picture looks grey/silver but they are clear. I may pick up another set since I had to cut one up to use on another phone and I messed up one other by using a needle on it to get a hair off thus actually scratching it and changing the clarity.
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
Got the Steinheil Ultra Clear in the mail today, put ot on, and it looks great. No bubbles, perfect fit. My biggest concerns were the rainbow effect and the feel when sliding across the screen. I am happy to say it both looks AND feels just the same as if it was never there. Beats the Zagg protectors without a doubt. Hope this helps folks!
[Captivate Accessories] tysj:
Been using the Realooks for a while and I suppose it sounds to be the same as the Steinheils. Can't even tell it's there visually or physically besides a slight grip when swiping around. Not that bad though. I'd recommend Realooks since it's 10 bucks for a pack of two. The included lintfree cloth sucks BAD, though. Actually was leaving yellow lint from the cloth itself everywhere when I was trying to clean it.
[Captivate Accessories] droid330:
i've been using zaggs for all my devices for a couple of years,but was disappointed in the last one i bought for my droid,so for my droid and captivate,i wanted something different.i found this screen protector on ebay called EZguardz,which works way better than zaggs and i got 5 shields for$3.99 /free shipping.they're almost the same material as zaggs,but you can use them dry(i used solution from the zaggs,which made the ez guardz that much better).:D
[Captivate Accessories] Roxy:
I recommend both realook & steinheil. They're both great and comparable to each other. Personally, I prefer realook because it's just as good and cheaper than steinheil. :)
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
Just wanted to give an update on my Steinheil Ultra Clear: As another poster had pointed out, the top and bottom edges started to lift up. After trying to get them to stick all day, I went ahead and yanked it off. I will be emailing them to see if they have any suggestions on how to prevent this before trying to apply the second one. In the meantime, it's back to the protector-free screen for me.
[Captivate Accessories] JamesAK:
BestSkinsEver amd PhantomSkinz = Same thing.

While not bad, they do orangepeel and have a slight stiction to them. (term from my old DH racing days ;)

EDIT: I would guess, as Ive never used them, that the Stein's need an absolutely, meticulously clean surface. Similar things I've used in automotive applications have had the same effect, pulling up at the edges. Just a thought, by no means a tried and true solution in this application :D
[Captivate Accessories] Dapeebb:
Personally, I don't find screen protectors necessary for the Captivate. I've been using it for a while without one and there has yet to be any scratches on the screen at all. During my research, I happened upon an article about the Gorilla Glass on the touch screen of the Captivate. It turns out, it is very unlikely to be damaged from everyday use.

But to respond to the thread, I find cheap screen protectors to do the job best. Even though you have to replace them once every few months, they are still way better than the expensive ones which can sometimes reduce touchscreen response.

Boo. This forum doesn't let me post links. T_T

[Captivate Accessories] YoungGun821:
interesting point you bring up Dapeebb. looks like some tough glass already on the phone..

how about cleaning the glass it self from finger prints and such? I use "nice'n clean electronic cleaning wipes" for my LCD monitor but could i use it (or something similar) on my captivate screen and still be safe?
[Captivate Accessories] NapaVallyWino:
I have the OEM from ATT and I like it the best. Tried a different one off ebay and you had to wet it with soapy water and then let it cure for up to 48hrs....just a bunch of problems and where the resolution is so fantastic the ATT OEM does not hinder the image quality but I do notice that the screen gets really bad smudges. I'll take the smudges way over bad image quality any day. you can wipe smudges but cannot remove the scratches.
[Captivate Accessories] coldbeverage:
I used both the Realooks and Steinhel (sp?). I think Realooks applied much cleaner on the edges.

Just my 2-cents.
[Captivate Accessories] himmelhauk:
I would imagine that's a safe method, because if it's safe for a monitor it surely has to be safe for a phone screen. For mine I use Pledge multi-surface (anti-static and safe for electronics & monitors) and a microfiber cloth.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skullkandy:
I have never used the rom manager app from clockwork but I just read it referenced in a comment about cyanogen. Since we don't have a recovery that stick (as far as I know) does this app work with the slide?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Yes sir, it does... support was just added for the Slide a day or so ago. Before, the Aria recovery 2.0.2.4 worked just fine.

(sidenote)....I'm now having problems with it seeing my ext partition, again...grr.:mad:

(EDIT!!!) DO NOT use the SLIDE RECOVERY IN ROM MANAGER...I flashed it and yes, it was the culprit in breaking my ext support. USE HTC ARIA file here... http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html Drop the file onto the root of your sdcard, making sure to name it update (or update.zip) if you're using XP. Then create a clockworkmod folder on your sd card, then create ANOTHER clockworkmod folder inside it. Then drop the same file into this folder and name it recovery-update. You should now be able to flash to your hearts content.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetik517:
in regards to the ext partition, how do we know if it is noticing it correctly or not. i have a2sd setup w/ a 512mb ext2 partition setup using eugene's latest clockwork update.zip. with a plethora of apps installed, i'm down to about 245mb on the ext. however, my internal storage (145mb) has gone down to ~60mb. this is even w/ all caches cleared. i have been wondering if there is something wrong w/ my setup or if this is considered as normal?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
If you have ADB and drivers installed, in command prompt issue the following:

adb shell ls -l /data

(alternatively, in Terminal Emulator it's simply "ls -l /data")

If among other directories you see this:

lrwxrwxrwx . . . .. ............. app -> /system/sd/app

lrwxrwxrwx . . . .. ............. app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

it means that Apps2SD (and your ext partition) is working fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetik517:
well yea, its listed. thanks. just didn't wanna see that dreadful "storage low" msg pop up later on for the wrong reasons or due to faulty setup.

this is a little non-related to the topic but in addition to cache clearers, are there any cleaning tools for android, as there are for winmo (ie. sktools). i understand the cleaning of caches, but does that cover temporary files, histories, corrupt files?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Yes, it should clear basically everything you listed...yes...I used cachemate, on Android and enjoyed it...not sure about with the Slide, though. :eek:
[HD2 General] maiux:
Hello all.

I'm searching for a solution to get Weather updates and use Google Maps App behind a (corporate) proxy. Googling and searching in this forum I got that:

Weather app is called Manila and it has no known registry keys to configure proxy

Google suggests to use a Mobile Maps configuration WITHOUT proxy

Now I'm trying to figure out if these apps are made to use a proxy or not, and if they use a proxy, which type of proxy (HTTP,SOCKS) they use, and if they works with NTLM authentication

Anyone can help me?
[HD2 General] maiux:
Hello all, I found the solution.

You must:

set the proxy in the APN configuration

connect to the net via Internet Explorer

fill the username and password in Internet Explorer and SAVE it

that's all

This worked for me with the plain rom.

Anyone notice slower dl and ul times lately. This is off of fresh reboot and with full bars on 3g. Did a speed test and dl speed is 144 and upload was 42. Does that seem normal?
[EVO 4G General] piry525:
Im getting about 780 down and 680 up with 3 bars of 3g
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
Could there be any apps that i am running that are slowing this down?
[EVO 4G General] mk8882:
I'm in san antonio, texas and I've seen the same thing as the OP. For the first week maybe after I got the phone it was fine ("Full five bars" of 3G --> 1-3Mb down/1Mb up), now it's nightmarishly crappy on 3G, at least where I usually use it. Often around 100kb/down and <50kb up. Sadly, the wimax coverage has also significantly degraded where I usually use it. Used to have fair coverage here and usually 6Mb via a usb dongle, but now you barely get 1Mb down. So, I have to hope it will keep 1 bar of wimax and use that at craptastic ~1mb... but then it falls out of range often and breaks things it's trying to do by switching modems.

On an unrelated issue(the above referred speedtests run from the phone itself and in the case of wimax confirmed with a separate wimax modem matching the phone's performance), I've noticed when using tether for root users (the USB one), that sometimes it seems it will load just a small portion of each webpage, especially when I'm using the 3G connection. Is sprint now packet-sniffing and limiting webpage downloads based on either the browserid or on the size of the file exceeding a certain size? Sometimes after I reboot the phone completely it will work again for a while, but not always.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
I also cleated the cookies, cache, and history and have the same problem
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Enable EVRC-b.

You will bump it up from 800k to 10200k

They must have intentionally disabled it to lower bandwidth, due to the enormouse data consumtion of this phone.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
How do i do that?

Most definitely!!!!! And im always getting the error code 67 when at work. Wtf!!!! This started about a week or 2 ago.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
I've been getting the error code also. It started a few weks ago.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
1) Call Sprint, ask for your MSL. If they refuse, just keep calling and asking, saying you're trying to improve your call quality.

2) Do a Nandroid Backup and a Titanium Backup.

3) Open up your phone's dialer, and punch in ##DATA# (##3282#)

4) Select Edit mode, type in your MSL as the password.

5) Go to Advanced, then for Home Orig change it to EVRC-B or Voice 13K, repeat for Roaming Orig.

6) Just above Home/Roaming Orig, select EVRC-B, and change it to Enable.

7) A little above that is a long string with the abbreviation ACCOLC in it. Change this to 2 (gives you higher priority on the network than normal ;) )

8) Once done, press Menu, then Commit Changes.

9) Let the phone reboot.

10) Reboot into recovery, and do a Nandroid Restore.

The reason for the Nandroid Backup/Restore, is explained here. Basically, there's a software glitch with the program which is launched by ##DATA# and causes apps such as Pandora and pretty much ANY audio streaming app to stop working. By doing a Nandroid Restore, you go back to before the settings editor screwed everything up, but still keep the changes to your baseband.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Seems like Sprint is falling into the same trap as at&t and not upgrading their network. Hopefully speed improves. I've been getting 600 or so down which is pretty pathetic. We will see if it takes sprint as long push out the necessary upgrades.
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
EVRC-B shouldn't have any effect on your data speed at all. It is the Vocoder for VOICE PHONE CALLS.

ACCOLC changes will have no effect at all. Values of 0-9 have the same priority on the network, they're all equal. Values of 10+ are reserved for high priority government, police/fire/ems, etc type phones and are not accessible to you in this menu. Changing it will do nothing.
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
I've seen error 67 a few times also withing the past 2 weeks. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new PRL update?

Suddenly my GPS-Signal is 'gone' while using copilot...

nothing bring it back... no reset...

also, suddenly after being maybe 15 minutes in standby its back..?!!

it happened now in 2 ways.

1. no more finding me... but telling me the GPS is found... (next time i have to look in this scenario if google maps is also without gps)

2. it says No GPS detected and with google maps also there is no GPS

no restarting... nothing helps.... suddenly 10 minutes later... gps is back.. while meanwhile the handy been in standby...

so the question is:

does this sound for a wellknown problem or what can i do.. to find really out what can it be.. is there maybe a logfile to look... i wnat to protect me to send it to O²...

Hello all...Long time lurker, not alot of posts....Yes I searched. I sent in my N1 to HTC for alot of Dropped calls and overheating. Got new phone back and my dock wont charge the phone. Is there a setting I missed? Is it because of Froyo FRF91 is what I have? Does anyone else have this issue? I saw a guys car charger wont charge of Froyo....If i plug it in directly to the USB it will charge fine. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Wiggle it in the dock a bit, or hold it down.

The dock really sucks imho. I hate him. I can have it working fine, I get a txt that vibrates and it disconnects. Heck the phone fell off the dock one time cuz of vibrate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonator:
Ive tried all of the above. And Im not crazy about the dock Either but I was about to get the car dock as well and .....Hell I paid 50 bucks for this thing!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzCDN:
I'm not a fan of the desktop dock either. I find I hit the power button to put it to sleep and as I take my hand away it shifts in the dock and wakes up again.

That said, the car dock is quite good. Holds the phone very solid yet is easy to get the phone in/out.

The built-in bluetooth speakerphone works fine ... sounds like a speaker phone but it works. Another feature is that it holds the phone in a way that leaves the camera pointing at the road ahead ... want to record that idiot driver ahead of you just fire up the camera.

The only issue I've had is that when using navigation in the hot sun while the battery is charging it has overheated a couple of times (i.e. rebooted without warning). Now I disconnect the charger unless it is needed and have not had the issue.

P.S. Neither dock work with cases ... probably fine with the skins though.
[EVO 4G General] Globetrahter:
So I have been reading alot about the camcorder on the Evo and I do own one. So I record for example my Street Fighter Videos with my phone and post on youtube, I've noticed that regardless of settings I put in the camcorder that I get shadowing and blurring (on my new better phone) than I didn't have on my Palm Pre.

On a different note, I used Qik and Qik seems to keep up with my tv and actually does a really good job but when I put it on the computer and play, you can tell its compressed alot..

So inconclusion is this the type of issue everyone is talking about with the FrameRate
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
No, the video recording has nothing to do with the framerate. It's all about the compression HTC put on the video output of the camera. That being said, however, the framerate does tend to drop in low light conditions.
