Hmm, I <3 my Zagg InvisibleSHIELD, this would be a nice back up just incase my zagg lifetime warranty fails to renew. Have the people bashing this promo tried the official Zagg invisibleSHIELD? I wonder if it's the quality of the Stealth Guard, or the idea of having a plastic coating all around that's turning you off.

If the quality of the Stealth Guard is as good as the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD then I wouldn't mind paying the $3.00 shipping. But I'm getting the idea that the Stealth Guards are cheaper, and of poor quality when compared to the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD.
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
The bestskinsever ones look tempting. Apparently they're quiet decent and they only cost a bit more than StealthGuards.
[Desire Accessories] brianhopper82:
So where is the solution that they show in the video? Is the solution just water? I checked out the FAQS on the Site but didn't find anything. My package just came in an envelope with the protectors and my invoice. Just curious if anyone knows how to apply them without the "solution" they say to use on their "Installation Instructions".

Thanks
[Desire Accessories] art0rz:
Got mine in the mail yesterday. I need help applying it because I'm a spaz. Heh.
[Desire Accessories] rsx3.2:
I applied the stealh guard on my desire,but how come the screen protector is like greasy/oily? It makes the screen appear with grease ontop when looking at light colours.

Any way to fix this?
[Desire Accessories] TheAshMan:
It's the same with Zaggs. Had the same issue on my Nexus and Desire. I just use a normal screen protector instead
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
Yep, normal screen protectors work so much better.

Just got a matte one today actually, works very nicely.
[Desire Accessories] WeeJockMacFeegle:
ClearProtector are my favourites.
[Desire Accessories] cescof:
Not so bad

Just to say, non so bad for me.... I've tryed before brando ultraclear and aome other unbrended from ebay but 've to say that after a couple of days umidity inside go away and it's clear and clean...

For 4,88$ i've recevied in Italy 2 of these screen protector in seven days...really amazing service for price...

Regards
[Desire Accessories] BlackBirdf:
I've got mine today, and the screen protector seems to be pretty much crap.

It even was impossible to see through it (maby made something wrong, but I don't think so).

Where do I get some better ones and if possible can pay per bank transfer (I'm from austria)?

Thx,

Bird
[Desire Accessories] nsx_23:
I don't think any of these "skin" screen protectors will be decent if I'm honest. Just use a normal screen protector off ebay or something.

I use a matte one because it stops finger-tip oils from building up and helps visibility in the sun, but the trade-off is a slightly blurry image.
[Desire Accessories] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Took a punt. These are crap. They're not even cut out properly and are a complete pain to release from the backing. As a result I ended up stretching some of the pieces beyond recognition. You'd have to over every cut carefully with a craft knife to make sure it would lift cleanly. Just not worth the extra effort compared to Clear Protector.

If I'd paid I'd be well unhappy.
[Desire Accessories] swine...:
These are totally the wrong shape for me. The screen protection is really not great to see through, although for now at least my phone has some kind of protection. I would not buy these again if I could see them before I bought them! Rubbish! :D

Hey people, As of today for some odd reason when I download an app from the marketplace it will only download and wont install.

I've tried several times with downloading a new app or updating an app and it will only download and wont install.

What is this problem all about? any ideas?
[Streak 5 General] flumps:

[Streak 5 General] lufc:

Heat

I am on DINC # 3. DINC # 1 would, for no particular reason, start to superheat, getting to to 108-109F. By 113F it would start rebooting to the initial screen, then go black, then go to the initial screen, then go black ... 4-13 times. That got very old so I sent it back.

Heat can be an issue.

Hi.

[Legend Accessories] tehKnocker:
Just ordered to Denmark, sounds like a great deal. I had an InvisibleShield for my Magic, which I wasn't that pleased with. It fell off rather quick and got black-ish instead of see-through. Lets see how this stuff works on a Legend.
[Legend Accessories] nivlack:
can someone tell me why I would need such a thing? The legend is housed in aluminum already, and I highly doubt it could be scratched. I could understand if someone is using this just for the screen protector, but still, there are ones that cost less on ebay...
[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
Everything scratches, and if you plan on selling your phone after you have upgraded in the future, it will still look brand new if you had a product like this on it.
[Legend Accessories] yrref:
Scratched it already, happens easier then you'd think!
[Legend Accessories] xxxhxxx2001:
Ordered one. Heared from people that you have to use a lot of water to install them properly, and that they have a very rubbery feel. But hey they are nearly free...
[Legend Accessories] octupusisonfire:
I got mine yesterday.

Yes, these really feel rubbery as the plastic is fairly thick.

The really anoying thing is that the side pieces go all the way from the top to the plastic piece on the bottom therefore you can't open it, or, you can cut it like I did (:

Overall it's a good product for the price (muhahah).
[Legend Accessories] zoomee:
Not worth the postage fee to be honest

Very thick - bends when trying to remove them from the paper they come on, and a nightmare to install - What more do you expect for free? lol
[Legend Accessories] xxxhxxx2001:
Got mine yesterday and I must say that I'm very happy with them. Installation is like on every protector with liquid...I must say that they are definitely better than the zagg ones witch were I nightmare for me to install on my girlfriends iPhone. All you need is PATIENCE and lot (and I mean a lot) of water! I've put water in a bowl with 2 drops of dish washing liquid, then make your fingers wet and take the protector slowly off it's paper (it's easier with wet fingers), and then put the whole protector in the water, let it drip off(not completely), apply and patiently wait 6 ours or use a hair dryer to get it done quicker (but you will still have to wait after). With the part's that include bending you should do the flat part and wait until it starts to stick, and then bend the other parts.

I rooted my 2.2 yesterday and lost usb charging and usb connection. I bought a sdcard reader and installed the pc36img file and reflashed my rom. When I rooted I did unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. After flashing pc36img I rerooted with unrevoked3 and still show s-off on unrevoked forever. I did the OTA 2.2 update and lost root, I was able to flash clockwork mod. I am trying to get super user privilages back, so I did a nan backup and downloaded a few different roms. when I try to flash any rom i get stuck in a reboot loop. any help on what to do about loop problem or how I can get super user back would be awesome. thank you. :/

[Vibrant General] NexusX:
While 2G save a lot of battery power. I was wondering does the voice quality get affect?? I don't care about data, I just want to know if voice quality get affected at all. I know like ATT does only Half duplex on 2g and on 3g they have full duplex or something to that nature. Does Tmob do the same?
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Voice works on 2g not 3g. So if your on 3g and receive a call its really using your 2g. That's why we can data and talk same time. 3g uses the data and talking uses the edge/2g...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Actually no, 3G does voice and data.

If you don't have a discerning ear you probably won't be able to tell the voice quality difference over 2G and 3G.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Currently you should have better voice on 3G. Currently 3G uses a 12.2 kbps codec, while the 2G system uses a variable codec that is at 10.2 most of the time but can drop as low a 4.75 based on traffic load and quality. Most people can't tell the difference until it gets below 6.25 kbps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdragon:
So I'm running Fresh 2.1 and tried to upgrade to 2.3.3 last night, but it was putting it into an endless reboot. I made sure I wiped the cache and data so the only thing I can think of that's causing the problem is that I'm using apps2sd and didn't wipe my ext3 partition. Reflashed back to my 2.1 backup and things are back to running fine now thankfully. It's brought a few questions up for me, though

Before I go the route of wiping my ext3 partition for apps2sd I want to make sure I can still recover back to the way things were before in case the upgrade to 2.3.3 doesn't work. I use Clockwork ROM Manager with Nandroid to do my backups but when watching the backup take place it looks like it tries to mount the ext3 partition to back it up but fails. Honestly not fully familiar with how apps2sd really works, so I don't know if that failure during the nandroid backup means my apps on the ext3 partition aren't getting backed up. Would that mean that if I wiped the ext3 partition and tried to recover my 2.1 ROM that my apps would not be there?

I thought maybe I could just undo the apps2sd setup, do a backup and then I'd be fine. But I'm having trouble finding clear, up to date instructions for how to undo apps2sd.

If anyone can clarify any of my issues or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdragon:
Could someone at least point me to some updated instructions for undoing apps2sd on the Sprint Hero?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
The instructions you are looking for are here

Normally (at least in the RA recovery) when you go to the backup menu for nandroid, you can choose if you wish to backup normally or with the ext partition included (much bigger file, takes longer). Regardless, if you wipe your ext partition, and you need to nandroid back, the backup will work fine, you will just need to reinstall your applications.

I save myself some time when I need to do this by using "Shootme" (free on the market) and take screen shots of my apps, then I can just refer back to the screenies to find everything I need. Alternatively, you could use the ADB "pull" command and take a copy of your apps directory onto your computer, then push them back if needs be.

Hope this helps!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdragon:
Thanks for the reply, runngwlf. I guess either the version of Nandroid I have, ClockworkMod Recovery, or my phone doesn't support backing up with the ext. When I go into Nandroid, my only options are Backup, Restore & Advanced Restore. Choosing backup just goes straight into running the backup with no choices. During the backup it gives an error saying it couldn't mount the ext partition.

Thanks for confirming the backup will still work, just without my apps. Guess I'll give it a shot!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdragon:
Hah! That little tidbit got me going in the right direction. Looking through the ClockworkMod i saw an option to install RA Recovery as an alternative boot recovery. Lo and behold, rebooting into RA Recovery gives me that ext backup option. Thanks again! :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
I am running virtuous 2.0 (sense based) on the inc and find the stock android and sense calendar, mail, messages etc widgets to be either too small to be useful (android) or too big (sense). Any suggestions on where I can get better widgets from? Just moved from an iphone and my ideal widget would be something like lockinfo that u can install from cydia after jailbreaking it. Basically like a landing page which combines weather, calendar, text messages, mail, missed calls, voice mails, tasks, twitter, rss feeds etc in 1 scrollable screen. Then the rest of the home screens can be used for frequently used apps and other widgets.

Finally, how do I get more home screens than just 7. I certainly can use more. With these big widgets, I have to go to the unsorted app folder to find something. Painful.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
Well, I figured out at least some of this on my own. For anybody who is in the same position as me, I would recommend Apps Organizer and Multicon. Between them at least I can squeeze in more apps into the home screens. Still not able to find any info on how to get more home screens than 7 though...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MMBosstones86:
I'm not entirely sure you can get more than 7. All the launchers, themes i've seen use 3,5, or 7 screens
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
Thanks. That's what i am finding too. Perhaps one of the custom roms can incorporate user set number of home screens?

Decided to write an article about task killer use, mainly because of so many people being surprised that i do not recommend it, after their so called techy friends told them they need one, I'll post the opening paragraph with a link to the rest of it.

Android Guide: Should I Use a Task Killer - Droid Den
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
You start off by saying you don't need one and then you say you do and even recommend one!
[Desire General] AndroHero:
maybe you should read it again more carefully :confused: the paragrah your on about was simply laying out some reasons why you may need a task killer :rolleyes:
[Desire General] le3ky:
system panel is not a task killer mate, its a tool to help you identify bad apples. That is the reason for that apps existence, just ask its dev.
[Desire General] sparkpanzer:
I read yr thread. I'm not so experienced in the systems. But i think this thread is following a good logic, and the systems at the end are all about logic.....

So, first thing i do after finish reading was killing the task killers.

Thanks again for the post.
[Desire General] wanted008:
Excellent article mate keep up your good work.

Many many people are brainwashed by many misleading reviews on Google in to thinking they need a task manager but this article explains nicely why they dont.
[Desire General] andycted:
System panel is a good solution. Try also power tutor, if it works with your phone
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
No no, I've read it, it's plain as day. You've just said it again.

Does it kill tasks? Need I go on.....It doesn't matter how you jazz it up "pal" there's no denying it can be used to kill tasks.
[Desire General] le3ky:
lol? Do you honestly not understand?

There are apps out there that are coded badly.

In order to remove those apps you first need to id them.

SystemPanel helps you find out which app is causing a problem.

Then you may uninstall that app.

Nothing about using it as a task killer in there.

Does that help? I could try to put it in simpler terms if not.
[Desire General] tolis626:
I only use a task killer when I want to run some benchmarks shortly after having played around with resource-intensive apps like games.Other than that only as mentioned in the article,to trace and kill bad or frozen apps.Any other use is only harmful.
[Desire General] spritable:
Very good article. It should be sticked.
[Desire General] shoemeistah:
I don't use a task killer with my HTC Desire. But back in the day with 1.5 and 1.6 I needed a task killer. Now 2.1 or higher doesn't need one.
[Desire General] le3ky:
for sure, higher memory and more efficient android definitely does not need one.
[Desire General] blaxxxun44:
"Android is smart enough to recognise when it is running low on available memory, and will start to close those apps that it deems are low priority."

Then pls tell me why after opening more and more apps my desire gets slower as it is running out of memory, and after killing them with task killer except for the one im using its running smoothly again. I would love to stick with the android solution, but its just not working out...

Why can't recovery partition my card anymore? Weird! When I pull the battery after 2 hours and check the card....it has a partition (unusable) with just below the amount I set it for....

So, this time I figured that I needed to keep it in a bit longer so I left it there for 8 hours (while I was sleeping) and it was still going. So, another battery pull and format of the sd card...:mad:

Is my phone telling me that I don't need to have all the apps I want?:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gIMpSTa:
Not at all true. I've partitioned mine and others many times on windows (tho of course not with built in software as windows has no native support to EXT 2/3/4 partitions), but if you use something such as gparted, acronis disk editor, partition magic, etc that WILL most definitely work.

That being said, you will not be able to do it via USB cable plugged into phone/pc.

OP, do you happen to have access to a card reader? That would be really the only way to format it from a computer.
