[EVO 4G Accessories] conflikt:
Nothing wrong with it, but as far as taking my phone outside in the sunlight I will admit i have a hard time seeing it at times. My vision is 20//40 so i have good eye sight. So to sum it up, id like to have a screen i can see in the sunlight, and better looking in general not saying that the EVO's screen sucks or anything. :cool:

I was also just curious if any company was producing screens as the EVO is very easy to dismember.
[EVO 4G Accessories] notown775:
dont AMOLED suck in direct sunlight or am i mistaken?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
C'mon PixelQi.

They aready offer 10" screen for you to replace your netbook ones with.

Basically, it looks like an LCD with the backlight turned on and works normally as such. However, when you turn off the backlight, you get a color e-paper-esque display that has no refresh rate issues whatsoever. It really is sthe best of both worlds and anoth major LCD maker has jumped at the technology.

Honestly though, I think that it would be great to have Super-LCD tech from Sony. The visibility is better than the AMOLED and Super-AMOLED in sunlight, color and contrast are the same, and the battery drain is actually lower. Did I mention that the price was cheaper as well?

To be perfectly honest, I have a Novatech screen version and I am just fine with that. I would love a small PixelQi screen, but that hasn't happened yet... :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] neuteboomt:
Anyone know were to purchase a replacement screen? Mine is cracked and now insurance. Sorry if it has been asked before. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] conflikt:
EBay for 100 bucks
[EVO 4G Accessories] cosine83:
AMOLED is horrible in direct sunlight. I had a Moment before my Evo and I couldn't see it outside for nothing. The Evo is practically fully lit in comparison.
[Droid X General] dr154:
I just came off a phone conference call with Verizon Wireless Customer Service & Technical Support and they have confirmed that no Froyo(2.2) for the Droid X has been pushed yet, but its will be available soon within a week or two. :rolleyes:

Those who have reported such update are most likely tests that aren't fully ready yet for the general public. :eek:

[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
I searched but haven't found any results.

I recently was adjusting my setting in setcpu, and I set it too high momentarily. I set it to 787 and the phone started to freeze. I normally set it to 710 or 729 maximum. After it froze, I rebooted. Since that time, my phone has been lagging at times (scrolling between screens etc).

So I wanted to know if there is a way to test the cpu to see if it is operating normally. Any help, or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

I just want to make sure I didn't damage anything, or if the lag I'm seeing is a result of something else.

Thanks in advance.

edit: I ran a stress test in setcpu, and it said no errors
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zer0_Cool:
Just clock it back down to where it was stable...
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
I did that, I am flashing a new rom now. I did a complete wipe. I'm flashing CyanogenTazz v3. It was only lagging on home screens. I'm thinking it may be something with launcherpro, since everything else was running normal.

I even did a nand backup, and still had lag. We'll see what happens now with a fresh install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Try uninstalling SetCPU when you get CyanogenTazz, it's not really necessary as the phone will overclock/underclock itself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] JAS_21:
It installed automatically, since I had it installed on version 2. I haven't opened or set it yet. I will uninstall and see what happens. So far I seem to be running smooth.

If I start getting lag again, I'm going to uninstall launcherpro, and try running adw for a bit. I hope there's not a problem with launcherpro, I love that app.
[General Questions and Answers] dejavecu:
Caveat: I am a noob and tried to search first but got too many conflicting threads which did not entirely apply to my phone as far as I could understand. Please no flaming if I am beating a dead horse. I swear the horse died before I started beating it.

You may have read my recent thread where I had asked about how to fix my g1 which was sold to me and the rom crashed leaving it "soft bricked".

Since it was taking so long and I got a good deal on it, I went ahead and bought the Samsung Galaxy S. While waiting for this phone to ship, I have fixed the G1 through the unlocker website's guide for one click rooting.

I started to begin the sign in process after re-rooting the phone with unlocker's generic mod but then thought better since my phone would sync.

My question is since I have gone through the unlocker website's process to re-root the phone, is there any personal info left on the phone that I should remove and how would I do that?

Would it be better, if by re-rooting the phone it wipes all info, to sell it as is?

Should I jail break it and sell it and therefore get more for it?

Should I keep the the sd card?

The phone is in good condition with only minor damage to the sides from dropping it, a screen protector and worked perfectly when I signed in on the original platform.img and I have two batteries for it; the double size and original and two backs and one protective case which I could not put on the larger backing of the larger battery which I should have looked harder for one to fit it eliminating the aesthetic scuffs on the side.

All advice is appreciated; thanks guys.

P.S. I will resist messing with the Samsung or at least backup more often b/c I lost a lot of buisness info when the G1 crashed. Although, I have already applied the GPS fix...it was on cnet for goodness sakes, how could I resist?:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stid.smth:
Hi,

Currently I know three ways to make Nexus One a factory reset:

1. Through menu in the Android system, Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset

2. In the HBoot (Press Volume down when power on), select 'Clear Storage'

3. In the recovery menu, select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset'

My questions is, what's the difference among all these ways? Or they are just the same?

I have googled and searched the forum but got no answer.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
1. Clears /data/ = personal data/settings (keeps rom intact) http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=factory+reset+android&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

2. Sounds like it wipes the sdcard, never used it http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=hboot+Clear+Storage&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

3. Clears /data/ and /system/ = wipes every internal storage partition. http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=amon_ra+recovery&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

I have a hard time believing you searched...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stid.smth:
Oh man, you know that search results != answers.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

So it's safe to do 'Clear Storage' in HBoot, and 'Factory Reset' in system menu. But doing a wipe in the recovery will damage your system, unless you want to flash another ROM. Right?

Many people suggest do 'Clear Storage' in HBoot when problems happen, so I doubt it is the same as the first method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
No...It's also safe to do a factory reset from Recovery. That's the cleanest option according to the other guy's post. I always thought Factory Reset was the same through the settings menu and recovery, but I could be wrong.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aod420247:
so i just reflashed my phone yet again trying out a new rom.

so i got it all setup, and first ting i did was goto the market to redownload all my apps. when i first opened the market, up top there were the three usual choices. apps, games, and downloads.

downlaods had listed all my apps that were previously installed, so i was like cool, no need for a nandroid backup. the only nandroid backup i have is for a 2.2 install, i didnt want to install that over a 2.1 update1 rom.

anyways, i started downloading all my apps that were listed then all the sudden the app store closed. now all i get at the top choices are apps games and sprint. theres a listing of BS apps in there, and when i push the menu key and click downloads, all thats there is what i had downloaded so far with seemingly no way to redownload the rest of the stuff that was listed.

where did my top bar downloads button go? i didnt accept an update to market or anything like that so how could it just change like that? how do i get the normal market back on my phone without the sprint crap??? sprint pisses me off some times.

sorry if this is some amatuer question, but a search of the forums didnt reveal too much to me, i dont know if this is a common "problem" (well, its a problem to me because i didnt authorize the changes to my system), or if this is just one of the quirks of android phones i am going to have to put up with.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Badious:
Wrong section for this question. There is a thread in apps and theme section about this. Its an update from Sprint/Google just hit menu and choose Downloads from there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aod420247:
right. but what your not getting is the list of all apps downloaded on my account dont show up once the sprint update installs. how do i prevent the update, or revert back? this is why i posted this, i need to know how to undo an update of an application, which as far as i see, this section is about apps and themes. just because i have 7 posts under my belt doesnt call for thread nazi behavior.

[HD2 General] neil_swann80:
I'd also like to say thank you... thank you for the Android, the new roms I'm flashing. Thanks for all the joy they're bringing. Who can now live without it, I ask in all honesty, what would XDA be? Without Cotulla or Netripper what are we? So I say thank you for the Android, for giving it to me.
[Droid X Accessories] Yourrid:
I just got my Droid X today and I know my screen is going to get scratched to hell and back. I bought a quality one off of ebay for my TP2 and it was an all out pain to get on; ended up throwing it away in anger.

So what is the best screen protector for the X? I would like one that covers the whole face not just the area you touch. I hear the vzw ones suck...

I was considering buying one of those body guard kits and let someone at the mall install it (i can never seem to get the bubbles out). Are they any good?
[Droid X Accessories] Errant911:
There really isn't a "best" screen protector. It depends on what you want in a screen protector. There are two main types, the kind that uses static adhesion (think the plastic sheet that was on the screen when you bought it) or the kind that uses a liquid adhesive. (like Zagg Invisible shield) The liquid adhesive ones typically have better protection, but can cause more distortion and are known to more severely affect the feel of the touch screen. They can also be a ***** to put on, prepare to spend at least 30 minutes to do a proper job, and you won't be able to use your phone for 24-48 hours while it dries. However, if you are really worried about getting the best protection, go for that.

Static adhesion ones are probably going to work for the majority of people, especially since the Droid X has Gorilla glass and many people say you don't even need a screen protector at all. I believe SGP (also known as Steinheil) makes high-quality static adhesion protectors, but they may be out of stock at the moment. I'm probably going to get an SGP for my DX when they get back in stock. Go for the crystal or ultra-crystal, i've heard reports that the anti-glare or anti-fingerprint affect the feel/drag and look of the screen more than the crystals.

tl;dr Get an SGP (Steinheil) crystal or ultra-crystal
[Droid X Accessories] Izord:
I used one on my MT3G. It's still on there after a year.

On the DroidX I haven't put one on. It uses 'Gorilla Glass' which is really good, from Corning.

There's a video on youtube where a guy tried to scratch his screen with keys about 30 times and it didn't scratch at all.

I haven't heard about anyone getting a scratch yet, and I'm not going to put on a screen protector.

May not need one on the DroidX.

Has anyone gotten a scratch yet?
[Droid X Accessories] Yourrid:
Yea those ultra crystals look pretty good. Ive never used an adhesive one before though... i dont really like the sound of it either. I've used the water ones and they work ok...
[Droid X Accessories] grdm:
http://www.sgpstore.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=droid+x&x=0&y=0

These are the best ive found, and I have gone through FOUR brands now looking for what I want, including the verizon one.

The crystal clear ones are exaclty that -- crystal clear screen prots with adhesive on one side and a protective film on the other that you peel off the front when you are done applying the protector. THIS IS NOT THAT ZAGG POLYVINYL crap. I hate that stuff.

The anti-fingerprint ones are also nice, I have those too. They are a bit "cloudy" like the verizon ones, but your finger glides over them fantastically, and they reduce glare.

The best part is -- THEY COVER THE WHOLE SCREEN AREA! I wanted that especially. Enjoy!
[Droid X Accessories] Yourrid:
well i think I am going to buy the crystal one... i just hope its not hard to put on. Im not the best at putting those sticky ones on

[Droid X Accessories] djdominus:
You don't need to use screen protectors on the Droid X. As stated before it has Gorilla Glass. If something happens that is strong enough to scratch Gorilla Glass a little plastic screen protector isn't going to stop it.
[Droid X Accessories] tmparisi:
Steinheil Ultra Crystal is the best, hands down!

In my option, the best protector is the Steinheil Crsytal. I had it on my Incredible, my brother still does, and now I have the Steinheil Ultra Crystal on my DX. It keeps the screen perfectly glass looking, as if there is nothing on it, allows for easy sliding, and is nice and thick to protect the screen. In my opinion, you can't beat it.

With shipping I paid 17.25 for it... comes with 2 protectors. They initially lost my order, so they sent me another, and guess what? The original showed up. So now I am expecting another at the end of this week/beginning of next.

If anyone is interested in it, I would be happy to sell it since I obviously don't need it. Let me know. I also have an extra TPU argyle (dark gray) case that I would be willing to sell if the price is right. I paid 8 dollars, shipped, for it.
[Droid X Accessories] cypherx82:
In my opinion, the SGP Ultra Crystal is by far the best protector for the X.
[Droid X Accessories] bouchigo:
I've had the VZW protector, which was horrible, and I've also had a privacy guard. Though the privacy guard did keep my phone private, the touch screen functionality wasn't great because the privacy guard was too thick.

I ended up with the SGP Steinheil ULTRA CRYSTAL Screen Protector and I love it. It's so clear, and it almost feels like there is nothing on the screen, but it's pretty thick compared to others; thick enough to provide excellent protection and not hinder touch screen functionality.
[Droid X Accessories] den0ts:
Im with this guy ^^
[Droid X Accessories] alan7467:
Actually, Gorilla Glass can be scratched. I've managed to get a really bad 3 MM wide scratch on my Zune HD, which has Gorilla Glass as well. I've heard of similar reports of scratches on devices with Gorilla Glass. So in other words, these screens aren't scratch proof. They're scratch resistant.
[Droid X Accessories] LexusBrian400:
The "Scratch Test Guy" did in fact, scratch his screen. He said it happened with sand. So yeah... might wanna be careful around sand.

SGP Steinheil ULTRA CRYSTAL Screen Protector +1

it's awesome. It comes with two, and I botched the first one... many would say it was fine, but I had like one spec of dust under it, removed, recleaned, reapplied number 2... it's AWESOME. I don't use a bumper or anything big and latexy around the outside of my phone, just a Steinheil on the screen, and nothing else. It's CLEAN.
[Droid X Accessories] Tralik:
SGP Ultra Crystal. Just put it on and I can safely say I'm very impressed. You really can't tell there's anything there imo. It was a pita to figure out how to put it on...at least for me. I had to watch a you tube video to realize there are actually 3 layers to each screen protector when first taken out of the package. Piece of cake after that. Gotta be smarter than the screen protector I guess.
[Droid X Accessories] ngsm13:
After dealing with half a dozen screen protectors for my past 3 phones, Including Zagg, Seidio, and a bunch of other cheapies... I really recommend the Boxwave Crystal Touch.

It is literally the easiest thing I have ever applied, from out of the package to on my phone perfectly in less than a minute. You cannot even tell it is on your phone.

I use ghost armor I would link it but I guess my account is still to new to post links. Just do a search on Google for it. It is super thin and seems to work very well.
[Droid X Accessories] duransuran:
I recommend the Steinheil Ultra Crystal one. It works pretty well with mine.
[Droid X Accessories] Pitnefor:
Zagg invisible shield is awesome.its smooth easy to swype with and its probably the most durable of all protectors
[Droid X Accessories] amathophobia:
I have to +1 boxwave. I had a boxwave protector on my last 3 phones. I use the antiglare one. It cuts down on how bright the display is slightly but i like its texture much better than an invisible shield. The invisible shield is too rubbery and hard to swipe imho. Plus it helps with using the phone outdoors.
[Droid X Accessories] SirBrass:
This is what I have as well and it works quite well. I notice NO slight decrease in picture clarity which I did get with VzW's stock screen protector. It really does a good job of repelling oil and regular 'nicks' that occur with carrying it in a holster (even with screen facing inward... little bits of particulate matter can get in and try and embed into the glass.... glass IS only an EXTREMELY viscous liquid after all, not a solid). A soft cloth cleans those things right off. I'm finding that I'm daily wiping off my screen far less than I used to do simply b/c its not as necessary.

I can't speak on the quality of the invisibleshield, but ghost armor has worked quite well, and it was installed on at a ghost armor kiosk and they made sure they got no bubbles when they put the screen on. I'm very impressed.
[Droid X Accessories] byproxy:
so a friend has an EVO and the protector they got from sprint is an anti glare protector with a sort of "matte" finish that is really nice as it makes sliding the finger over the screen very smooth... as if there's less friction.

anything similar for the DX?
[Droid X Accessories] tmmedic20:
The crystal clear screen protector from seidio is very nice. No issues with sliding or glare and most people can't even tell I have a screen protector on.
[Droid X Accessories] uspeed757:
i agree, i wear diamond stud earrings, on my iphone 4, the constant rubbing against the screen while holding the phone to my ear caused a blemish area. I learned my lesson, and have gone screen protectors henceforth.
[Droid X Accessories] cbaty08:
Hmm... have tried zagg before and hated it.... Steinheil or Boxwave... Anyone had a chance to see these two side by side or at least seen each to help me out in choosing?
[Droid X Accessories] bobby911:
I have my DROID X naked too! lol had the skinomi skintech, felt horrible! had smudges and felt like I couldnt scratch it or it would buldge like a beds coversheet when u jump on your bed.

I would definitely put a Steinheil Ultra Clear Screen Protector if anyone has a spare one willing to sell it. So hit me up pls! :D
[Droid X Accessories] irod87:
I finally made the switch from the zagg to the steinheil ultra clear. The steinheil is nice because you have a level of protection but its as close to stock/invisible as possible.
[Droid X Accessories] BBJohnnyT:
Seidio for me.

Here's my Amazon review of the Seidio screen protector...

Over the years, I've used Invisible Shield to protect my cell phones and other gadgets that have screens. While it did a great job at protecting, it sucked when it came to clarity and friction. It has a slightly murky "orange peel" look to it and it also added noticeable friction to dragging your finger across the touchscreens. When I got my Droid X, I went looking for another brand and decided to try Seidio after all the good reviews. WOW, what a difference! It is thinner, crystal clear and has no friction problems at all. In fact, I really can't even tell it's there.

It also was much faster and easier to apply than Invisible Shield, which required a messy spray. All I did was take about three packets of my eyeglass cleaning wipes. One to wipe down my desk of dust, one to wipe the existing finger smudges and a third for a final dust wipe of the screen. I just then peeled away and folded back about 3/4 of the screen protector backing. Starting with the bottom, I applied the protector to the screen and it immediately adhered with it's static cling magic. It was easy to peel off and reapply to get it perfectly aligned. Once I had it applied halfway up the screen and I was satisfied with the alignment, I pulled off the last 1/4 of the backing and finished the application. I then used the squeegee to rub out the minor bubbles near the edges. Easy-peazy and it clings nice and tight to the screen with no adhesive.

It may not be as strong and protective as Invisible Shield, but I'm not that rough with my gear. I just wanted something that will protect the screen from minor scuffs and scratches and this will easily do that. And unlike Invisible Shield, it's truly invisible. Best of all, this was a two-pack so I have a spare, all for almost half the cost of one Invisible Shield!
[Droid X Accessories] karyney:
I got an InvisibleSHIELD shortly after I got my Droid X. I don't really like the texture and find that at times it hinders the screen's ability to track my finger (especially when playing Fruit Ninja, haha!) so I finally ordered the Steinheil Ultra Crystal. Should be getting it this weekend.
[Droid X Accessories] Psientist:
How many of you protect your camera opening in addition to your touchscreen/display?
[Droid X Accessories] bgs_piece:
+1 for the SGP Ultra crystal

I've tried 7 or 8 different variations and this is the best. The only issue is that its thicker than the rest so make sure if you use a case that you get one that covers the outside edges of the screen protector so it won't be peeled up. The flexible plastic/silicone covers seem to cause this to happen whereas the hard cases like the Seidio Innocase don't have any issues that I have found.
[Droid X Accessories] RaptorMD:
I have purchased SGP Steinheil screen protectors and they are very good, but this time I ordered Screenguardz Anti-Glare and they are pretty solid as well, and about $5 less than the others I have used.
