recieved my carbon protector today direct from Skinomi

i have already got a screen protector so wont be using that, i have the fit form case

so prob wont use the back bit (which does have cut outs on it) may use the side panel protectors but the stuff is striped and may look a bit S*^T

:(
[Streak 5 Accessories] ARHMogul:
Could you post a couple of pictures of it? If not, no worries. Thanks! :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] jsalamy:
i got this from amazon on friday and put it on no pics it does add some depth to the streak and scratch protection. I just cant wait for the otterbox commuter to come out. I heard a tell on another forum that they are listed under dell premier logins with a 2 week backlog. i cant confirm that yet because my shipping person is out on vacation for the week.

[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
That link was a surprise . . That is my Streak . . my pictures . . After that I got the Otterbox, the $19 one .. Took off the skin and put on the Otterbox .. HATED IT [don't like the way it feels to the touch, I am constantly picking lint off of it..] and I have since purchased another skin. I bought the clear one .. Sort of wish I bought the one in the picture again but the clear skin hasn't arrived yet. Maybe I will like it. I like the skinomi screen protector better than the one that comes with the otterbox. diane
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
You should try the otterbox communter if you don't like the feel of the impact. The communter has a hard shell.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
Problem is, I ordered the Mugen battery. I don't know what case I will be able to use.
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
if you are talking about the mugen 4800mh battery then probably none of the otterbox cases... they are all perfect fit of the original streak size.
[Streak 5 Accessories] BrokenPixel:
Provide some info and statistics when you get that mugen battery, I'm interested to see how much battery life you get outo of it. :)

Hi, I have been noticing a lot of mentions of bad blocks in band occurring over flashing corrupted files. My question is there anyway to fix these or do you over time have less memory to work with?

i don't know much about how it all works, but i have a theory (please correct me if i'm wrong).....

i'm getting the bad block issue. now, i rooted/nanunlocked with the unrevoked3 method (a while ago). i read that it's not "real 100%" nand unlocked. that it just opens just long enough to do whatever it is it does.

so when you flash the newer roms (with the bigger boot.img), it wont let it resize the boot partition.

i was planning of going back to square one tonight. flash stock 1.32ruu. and go from there with rooting/unlocking.

anywho, that's just my two cents
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
If by bad blocks youre talking actual hardware then its not directly due to rom flashing.

All mediums that allow for read/write: sdcards, hard drives (flash mediums and magnetic mediums) have a certain degree of degradation over time and it increases (more degradation) with use.

I think there is also an allowable percentage of bad blocks when you get the memory, (1%).

Bad blocks are natural and will occur.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
My question spawns from the change log of the new RA Recovery. It says the file size was reduced to help with the memory crunch resulting from bad blocks. (I'm recalling and paraphrasing)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
IANAL, but I don't believe Unrevoked Forever is in violation since they aren't using GPL, they're just exploit a flaw in it. For that matter I don't even know if the code they're breaking is GPL'd.

As for all the ROM's, I'd bet most just didn't mean to violate the terms, they just didn't realize they had to release source.

[Touch2 General] hdr87:
Hi,

The first step here would be to back up your data. Once done, try soft reset... then monitor. If still your Mega has the same issue, do a Hard Reset (google to get instructions). In most of the cases, a Hard Reset will do the job, then dont install any additional software, just use the mega with your core apps. Check if the issue is persistent. If still your mega hangs, then probably its an hardware issue & you'll need to go to the HTC Service to get your mega troubleshot.
[Touch2 General] paco peng:
thank you very much...

i will try...

you are a good guy...

If i've already updated my radio version to the latest OTA update via myfroyo5, if i flash ENG build with HBOOT volume up, will i brick my device?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
Don't trust me on this, but I kind of doubt it. Flashing the ENG build downgrades the radio initially anyway, then you upgrade that to the newer one.

But why would you need to do this anyway?

So I have an unlocked MyTouch 3G, and I can't get past The "Touch The Android to begin setup" screen. I entered AT&T's APN Sttings, double checked them, even get The little Edge icon, but when I enter my GMail account info, it keeps giving me crap about not being able to establish a reliable connection, etc. What do I do to get my phone going? I don't have a T-Mobile SIM or know anybody who does so don't suggest that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xmajinx99:
Obviously because you do not have a data plan. You need to have a sim with a data plan which either you pay for or you can snatch one of your friends sim and use it to activate. Once you do that I recommend immediately rooting the phone because most Mods have a skip button.
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
Not sure if everyone is aware of this yet so I thought I'd share it with you all.

Invisible Shield from Zaggs is available for our Streaks. I've already placed my order and should be in sometime this week. I'll let you all know how it looks and maybe some pics.
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
I have one of these already. I like the fact it makes the Streak more grippy but was a but disappointed that there isn't protection for any of the corners or edges. I keep meaning to take pics... The pieces are a pretty good fit; much better than the first screen protector bought off ebay

I wasn't sure how it would make the screen feel but actually it's ok and is as responsive as ever.
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
Which kind of protection did you get? I'm concerned now cause corner protection is important.
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:

Pics of Full Body Easy Install (Zagg Invisible Shield)

Hi all

Have managed (just about)to take some pics of the Invisible Shield. As mentioned above, this is the Full Body Easy Install shield from Zagg. I bought it from the US, although it shipped in the UK from Manchester.

Hopefully you can see where it's a little short in places (less than 1mm but still noticeable to me), especially on the back plate and the front end with the buttons.

It comes in 6 pieces- 3 front, 3 back; none of which cover the corners or edges of the Streak.

It was easy enough to install (though a bit messy. In my defence, it was first time :) ) and the major benefit, other than protecting the bits it covers is that it makes the whole device less slippery. Works fine on the screen and I haven't noticed any difference in sensitivity because of it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] alfri:
Do you know if ship in italy?
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
Thanks for the pics and the write up :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] bhyde:
Looks like you need the Full Body MAXIMUM protection to get the corners.
[Streak 5 Accessories] courtlandre:
Keep in mind these screen protectors make the screens very 'sticky'. aka hard to use.
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
I ordered the Maximum protection and just waiting on its arrival sometime tomorrow or early next week. I'll post pics if it helps. Should be a total body protection.

I agree with Samstables, it will make it sticky which should be an added bonus.

Although, I just received my FormFit case which will be going over the invisible shield. :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] 900SS:
I just installed the maximum protection kit and it went on very easy. does make the phone feel a little sticky ( but thats better then slipery).
[Streak 5 Accessories] untrueparadox:
for these invisible shield things, i usually get the full kit for the body for grip and protection and use one of those cheap ebay screen protectors for the screen. downside is, it costs slightly more. i wish they would sell just the body and not the screen.
[Streak 5 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
i've applied invisibleSHIELD protectors to almost all my previous devices but i dont think i'm going to with this one, atleast not for the screen. I've grown sick of the stickyness aka "orange peel effect". Your fingers don't slide well on the device. It helps for the back of the device cuz you can put it on your dashboard and it won't slide off that easily.

I'm currently thinking of going with di noc carbon fiber or do what untrueparadox did. Only apply the back and another screen protector.
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
Has it covered your corners and edges? Is it a good fit? pics please :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] jwt-1gnt:
Question for you guys who have installed this (or plan to); if there is ever a need to remove the shield, are you guys worried that it may take some of the lettering off with it? I guess for the Streak, the only lettering would be the "5.0 megapixel autofocus" near the rear camera.
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
Part of the instructions provided is how to properly remove the skin should you need to. I've had to remove a skin only once and it came off without any cause for concern.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jwt-1gnt:
Good to know, thanks dude.
[Streak 5 Accessories] joshgantt:
I ordered a Zagg shield (screen only) before I even got my Streak- at first it did feel a bit sticky to the touch, but now after it has been worn in a bit I've no issues. I do have minor imperfections in the screen protector, they can be a real pain to apply perfectly, but they are hardly noticeable and an acceptable price for the added peace of mind.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ztm.000:
thats what i have and i have corner protection. its great. treat it a little rough and at the end of the night its still stellar! +1 for ZAGG!
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
ok so I received my maximum protection from invisible shield. I'm kinda disappointed because its not as precise as it could be. I've installed similar shields from Best Skin Ever on my Nexus One and iPhone4 and it was a lot better coverage.
[Streak 5 Accessories] samstables:
It looks like the Maximum protection version is the same as the Full body Easy Install but with two strips for the long edges. Still no real corner protection then?

I've ordered one, but will return it if this is the case :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] cue_32:
It's not great protection for corners and side edges (landscape) IMO.
[Streak 5 Accessories] irenic:
too bad then. the corners and side edges are the areas that have the highest chance to get damaged if the device fall to the floor.
[Streak 5 Accessories] xcdude35:
BestSkinsEver owns Zagg Invisible Shield. I have used them on my iPhone for years.. Zero orange peel effect on their screen protector and the body protection is great. Please go to their website and ask them if they will make one for the Streak!

Sorry I can't post a link. Just look under "support" on their website!
[Streak 5 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
I got a warranty exchange streak and took my old invisible shield off to send back to zagg, and it didn't take any of the lettering off, but I'm sick of this orange peel effect on the screen protector. Typing with swype is harder and playing games like fruit ninja is a pain.

Gonna start searching for other screen protectors now, anyone got any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
Is the body protection like the screen?

I like the zagg body protection cuz I can put my devices on my dashboard or other surfaces and they won't slide.
[Streak 5 Accessories] borijess:
I took my shield off and it started to Peel off the dell logo on the back of the phone. Luckily it had enough adhesive to reattach the logo. I did not like the shield because it attracted too much dust. IMO the only part that needs a shield is the screen and the black parts above and below the screen.
[Streak 5 Accessories] MrGPhantome:
I have a unfixable, but shallow scratch on my streak, I was wondering if these screen protectors like the Invisible shield will kind of "cover" it up and make the scratches less noticeable?
[Streak 5 Accessories] untrueparadox:
yes, invisibleshield goes a long way to covering scratches, as long as you clean the scratch well and get it dust and oil free. i covered the screen on my old ipod with invisibleshield after its been scratched and it looks brand new.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I had one of the shields on my Streak .. The skinomi shield. It was EXCELLENT but I took it off when I got the one by Otterbox. I keep my Streak in my purse and every piece of lint from my purse or dust in the air sticks to it.. SO.. I ordered another shield. This one is the invisible one, the previous one was not. The skin was tacky for a few days. The screen seemed to not work well .. UNTIL THE SHIELD DRIED COMPLETELY. I'm sure it won't help much, if at all, if it fell and hit the ground, but I am NOT going to drop it !!! [fingers crossed]
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I am very picky about my cases.

I bought BOTH of the ones Dell was selling. Didn't like either.

Next I bought the carbon fiber from .. Skinomi. I liked it very much but

I had also purchased the Otterbox .. the rubber one ..

Took the skin off [big mistake] when the Otterbox arrived.

Didn't like the feel of the Otterbox and next

I ordered the Skinomi Invisible shield .. well ...

I had no problems with the carbon fiber skin but this was a complete DISASTER .. and cut totally different than the Carbon Fiber Skinomi .. DIDN'T LIKE IT at all so I threw it in the trash .. I will probably reorder the Carbon Fiber skin again someday .. .AND ..

.I have also ordered the hard plastic Otterbox ..

You would think I was rich the way I waste money . . I am not ..

BIG PROBLEM with the new Otterbox on the way is that so is my Mugen extended battery.. tracking said it was leaving New York last night. Pretty sure the new Otterbox won't fit with the extended battery .. What's a Gadget-a-holic to do ?

[Streak 5 Accessories] Lord60:
I have a zagg shield on my Streak now, and have had them on my HD2 and vibrant as well. For the Streak, however, the coverage doesn't provide wrap around like the other devices.

Skinomi seems to have this covered. In the image, you can see the cutout for the charging cable so it's clear to me that it's wrap around coverage. I may buy one just to see how well it fares...

Saw this originally on ebay for $59, reduced to $50, but they're only $19.99 direct from Skinomi.

[Streak 5 Accessories] talltubatom:
Why would you need a screen protector for this phone? The screen is made of gorilla glass. I understand the wanting to cover the rest of the device.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Spectre51:
Because no glass is 100% scratch proof.

[Streak 5 Accessories] bricked_tab:
Just installed the Zagg shield on my Streak (full body). Apart from the orange peel effect there's a very fine grain-like texture underneath the screen protector. Is this normal? I've read so many reviews saying it has to dry first but nobody mentions the grainy part. I did manage to install the back and sides nicely.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I don't remember what-it was like before-it dried. I just remember that.it didn't respond well to my touch. By now it should be Perfect for You. But you an using the Zagg. I used Skinomi. . .
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
So, which is the best one to get?

Zagg Full Body Maximum

Zagg Easy Install

Skinomi Techskin

Skinomi Carbon Fiber
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
Skinomi Carbon worked best FOR ME ..
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
Is the Carbon thick? I was hoping to go with this holder and since it snaps in perfectly, I'm hoping whatever "skin" I put on will not be an issue.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I think the carbon is a little thicker than the clear but more than that it is "tough" feeling. I don't think it will protect much if I dropped it .. maybe it will just hold together all the broken pieces. What it does do for me is make me feel comfortable just tossing it down on my desk or dropping it in my purse.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Keethos:
Hi shEEEsh,

A quick question, does the Skinomi ones gather a sticky gunk like substance around the edges of the skin? I've been using the full body invisible shield from Zagg for a while now and my phone has started to gather this gunk. The worst part is that it's started to gather around the buttons along the top and some of it is slipping into the side of buttons. The phone is either on a stand or in a leather case (easecase), so never in my pocket to gather dirt, so don't really know where all this crap is coming from and I regularly scrape this stuff off.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I have had it on for a couple of months and it is GUNK-FREE ...
[Streak 5 Accessories] nimdivino:
Hello shEEEsh:

Do you happen to have a pic of your set-up. I am interested on buying the carbon from skinomi.

Thank you

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maximr:
Apologies for slightly off-topic...

I've been a WinMo follower for years, and never switched off to iPhone. I tried Nexus One when it just came out, but that lasted 3 days - mostly because of its (sense-less) UI. In the last two weeks I've been playing with Android on my HD2, and have to admit I've been converted! This is a great blend of the smooth and fluid UI of an OS that is built for mobile to begin with, and the flexibility of an open development platform, which resulted in many great apps.

In any case, I wasn't exactly happy with my T-Mobile service, which tends to be somewhat spotty for me in terms of 3G coverage (I'm in Seattle), so I decided to check out the other major networks and see if I would find another Android phone that would be appealing to me. I wanted a fast one from HTC - essentially, as close or better than HD2.

Sprint EVO would have been nice, but it's too thick. End of story. Doesn't pass the pocket test.

I thought that Verizon's Incredible would be just what I wanted with its smaller form factor and similar specs. And that was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. It actually felt too small!

A visit to AT&T store wasn't much better. Aria is underpowered, and Xperia looks nice, but Android 1.6 is a joke and makes it very sluggish, aside from the dated UI they've put on it.

Finally, a stop at T-Mobile, where the only decent one is the Galaxy. Similar specs, but no Sense. Felt somewhat slower, but perhaps the closest contender to HD2 with Android on top of WinMo.

So I have to say, there is no better hardware to run Froyo on the US market today. Or am I missing anything?

P.S. I don't think there's anything outside of the US either. Desire HD is promising to be amazing though.
