Not sure why anyone who gets a $500+ phone would not spend $5 on a screen protector for it.

I have one of the Zagg/BestSkinsEver/Whatever next brand 3M skins on it, ordered it the day I purchased from someone on ebay. Properly applied these skins are 100% invisible and offer great protection, and I don't notice any difference in touch response at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
You might not notice the difference, but there is definitely one. The reason why the Galaxy S has proven the most responsive touchscreen in independent testing is because of the removal of extra layers from the glass. Just because you don't notice, or apply an accurate touch to the protector that goes astray in a sensitive or poorly programmed phone you might be misplacing the blame when the app doesn't register properly.

Because the phone's screen has been demonstrated to have the most accurate touch response in any Android phone and adding a layer that isn't designed into the phone will decrease said accuracy

Because OLED screens have among the best viewing angles and any screen protector will dampen the colors and viewing angles

Because screen protectors add glare (even if they advertise glare reducing affects, phone dependent)

Because screen protectors do have a tendency to trap particles underneath them and at it's edges and/or getting air bubbles, meaning they have to be replaced or they make the appearance look quite tacky

Because they are tacky

Because the need to replace them, assuming you have the desire to have the most clean and best placed screen protector

You think this is a $5 investment to protect your phone. I think over its life it costs more than $5 and it's to decrease the performance of your phone. All that, I'd much rather spend $50 on GG like Samsung has done (apparently not actually costing consumers anything relative to other high-end subsidized models in the US, EU or parts of Asia...unsubsidized, yes it might add a tiny bit of price that's hard to pinpoint) than 10-15 on something that would decrease performance of my phone while not being as elegant a solution. Also, GG may have helped this device be smaller, for whatever engineering reasons, we don't need protectors, what are you protecting it from? Main thing I see would be liquid, which protectors can also trap, and I keep my phone further away from liquid than I have any laptop I've ever owned.

IMO, a protector is less needed and less desirable on this device than on any high-end device I've ever had (my last high end phone did have a protector, but it's now 3 years old, I made do with a dumphone for the first year in Korea). Also, I happen to be lucky enough to afford a new device if I break or scratch this screen (I don't think a protector will help more than 3% in any drop scenario anyways) and if it happens in 12 months I'd be in the market for a new phone by then anyways.

To each their own.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Because Clear screen protectors are fingerprint magnets, and matt ones decreases the brightness from your screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
You sure it isn't because of the nice Atmel IC chip being used, whereas many of the others use rubbish like Synaptics?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I haven't read that explanation before, but it's possibly as or more valid, however, you do use the word "most" in there. If any other Android phones use the same sensor, and were *tested* (I say this assuming that they are generally known to have a great screen and would've been tested, but that's a bit of a leap-of-faith) then there is more to it than just that. Then, it'd be a combination of sorts, which I obviously left out other potential factors like software (algorithms and/or firmware)...I think the fact that you don't have an extra layer of glass built on top of glass will almost definitely have some impact.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] IIWAT:
Does it mean ALL Galaxy S has Gorilla Glass?

It is confusing... why they annource this so late.... ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
You know, before this whole GG story came out I was happily using my invisible shield, but it made me think - am I really just being a bit boring here? Am I sacrificing the enjoyment of looking at a beautiful display for the safety of not getting scratches? (god knows I spend enough of the day playing with the thing, much to my wife's dismay). So I made the decision this morning to remove the protector (i can always put it back on after all) and boy am I glad I did! It's like going from sd to hd and the increase of touch response is significant. That screen protector just made things dull.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Everything can scratch get an SGP Ultraclear and dont worry about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] applebook:
Putting screen protectors on well built and durable glass screen is offensive to me. I will not degrade the performance and enjoyment of the phone.

Using hideous skins on good looking handhelds is almost as unacceptable to me. I would not put a bra on a Lamborghini, nor would I be so terrified at the marring of my pretty face that I would wear a mask when walking along the street (even if it were legal)!

To each his own though. If shrouding your phone (or notebook or whatever else) in cases and protectors makes you feel that much better, then all the power to you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
The same reason that they don't announce all the other features it has. Considering all the other features, this wouldn't be on the top of the list of every person out there. Or may be it just isn't THAT durable, otherwise a lot of people might try to scratch/break their screens as the first thing they do after buying the phone LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
SGS has Gorilla Glass so it's really resistant and you guys are complaining for some useless debate, when you had this old phone with a ultraeasy messed up screen you didn't cared and now you have a phone with great resistqnce qnd you complqin ....wtf
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
The touch response from the unprotected screen is much better, mainly due to the incredibly low surface energy of the screen.

Try sticking a Post-it note to the screen, it just falls off. Then do the same with the screen protector in place. Night and day difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Or that they want the flexibility to change the glass type later if required
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I used my phone for nearly 2 months without a screen protector, but I found that the screen was a fingerprint/grease magnet (not helped by the fact that I seem to have oily skin :S). This residue was constantly causing colour distortion/refraction (possibly due to the pentile matrix) and an unclean feel.

2 days ago my screen protectors (cheap, supposably fingerprint resistant etc) and new case arrived, and I can finally say that I'm entirely satisfied.

I can't perceive any difference in sensitivity or display (if it's there it must be minimal). Given the thinness of most screen protectors, I can't see how they'd affect the experience much.

But most importantly, the screen protector has reduced oily residue/fingerprints on my screen, no more wiping the screen every 30 minutes THANK GOD!!!.

So I guess it's really a matter of personal preference. If you don't have greasy fingers, and are very careful with your phone, you don't need one. On the other hand if you're like me, you really need one. And i love the security of leaving my phone in my pocket with other belongings, without fear that the screen will be scratched by them (ie. keys) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anarchyuk:
I bought the phone on saturday and ordered the screen protectors the same day, IMO what ever this phone has coated onto the screen its not as scratch resistant as the iPhones, I already have a very light scratch on the screen and I have hardly used the thing. I got the screen protectors today 6 for £1.95 and got the first try on bubble free! After a few hours usage I can say the responsiveness is not effected it any way.

This phone is amazing compared to the Hero!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
I am in the same boat. Really tempted to remove the ZAGG sticky shield. But my phone are sometime extensively use by my 3 yo. daughter so I think I will keep the protector...... still.. very tempted. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I notice absolutely no change in clarity or responsiveness when using a screen protector. No difference whatsoever. The only reason i can tell its on is because bare glass feels a little bit colder than the protector. You simply have no reason not to use one as long as you choose the right protector.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upp3rd0g:
[I wanted to post a link to my other post describing my experiences with Gorilla glass but I am not allowed to post a link, so I'll just repeat my message.]

Unfortunately I found out the hard way that Gorilla glass doesn't prevent scratches on the screen. The phone is only 2 months old, I am using it with a silicone skin and no screen-protector. The phone is always in my jeans-pocket, without anything else in it. And still there is a small scratch (2mm) and a dot... The scratch is deep enough to be felt with your fingernail.

I guess I have to go to screenprotectors. I cannot trust the claims of Samsung and Gorilla glass anymore. :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
It's stupid marketing. Videos make it seem like it's scratch proof, but if you read what they say about it you get the truth, it's scratch resistant. See also water proof vs water resistant, people tend to confuse those too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
It certainly still gets scratches. Under sunlight or direct bright light I can see many tiny scratches on my SGS screen. They're not worth worrying about since they're hard to find. But it shows you still need to take care.

I'm not sure how my screen could have got those scratches. It's about 2 months old, I never put anything in the same pocket with it.

Maybe using my shirt to wipe smudges off the screen causes those?

I've been wiping my glasses for years with my shirt and they show no scratches whatsoever, I'm pretty sure I got some kind of anti-scratch coating on them or some strengthened glass. Whatever it is, it must be tougher than gorilla glass....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Super Galaxy S:
I scratched my Galaxy S for a little bit, then went outside in the sun and I see no scratches.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] settlethestorm:
Google earth is Google maps on the Eris. Maps should be on your phone already or is available for free on the market.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] smokedkill:
I have the googleearth.Apk and it don't work on the Eris.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] settlethestorm:
I downloaded it once expecting that it was going to be different then maps, but it didn't work. Did a lil research and found out that on the Eris, a Google phone, Google earth is the stock Google map app on the phone. Street view, satellite and gps navigation.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zwade01:
Google Earth is still different than maps. My wife has both on her D1 and with Earth you have the actual view of the planet and you can rotate it and what not just like Earth on the pc. So no, it's not the same thing. Why else would they have it? Lol
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] settlethestorm:
Haha wow! Well at least I wanst crazy for tying it to see it was different. That also means the info I found was not right lol. Sorry if I misled anyone! It still, unfortunately, wont work on the Eris tho. Google maps and Google sky maps are as close as we can get

When I hold both the volume buttons and press the power button, I am calling that 'recovery' mode. Is 'download' mode something different? If so, how do I get into download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGSilva:
Yes, download mode will display a big yellow triangle with the android robot in the middle.

In download mode you can't do anything. Odin3 send files to the phone and all other commands.

I'm not sure if once in "download mode" you can boot back without flashing your phone...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
To get into download mode you power off the phone (You can remove the battery to be sure) then plug the phone into USB. Let the battery screen show up, then do your key press (Volume up + Volume down + Power) hold all three until the third black screen (immediately black, battery, black, battery, black) then let go of power. That should give you the big yellow Android shovelling the crap.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Just yank the battery out. As long as nothings flashing onto the phone or anything (the blue progress bar isn't showing) then you should be fine. At least in my experience.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJPDX:
Yes there is.

Recovery Mode is where you would load an update.zip file. Two ways to access: 1. from adb type: adb reboot recovery 2. Power and both volume button method.

Download Mode is where you would load roms and kernels with Odin. Multiple ways to access, two easiest IMO: 1. if adb is available type: adb reboot download 2. Pull battery and usb, Install battery, hold down both volume buttons, keep buttons held and plug in usb cable. Dont touch the power button.

That is correct, if you havent flashed anything just battery pull and reboot to get out of download mode. Also if you botch a flash and your phone is frozen, when you reset the phone will go into a bricked mode that will show a phone, warning sign and computer. If your phone does this you'll need to do a battery pull and manually enter download mode reflash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoaib Sabir789:
diff btw download and recovery mode

yes there is a difference between download and recovery mode

"download mode"

is that where you can able to install custom or stock roms or you can flash your android in this mode

but in

"recovery mode"

you have some commands given by phone you can use these command for reboot your android or reset to factory and other commands

Hi team,

Hope someone can help me out with this...

I am looking for a application that will let me/us to use the touch screen as navigation button.

For example, if I draw a less than sign (<) then the phone will treat that as a "back" button.

Hey, I wiped my dalvik-cache earlier via a Terminal Emulator using:

$su
#cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#exit
$exit

It seemed to go fine and the cache was gone, got a lovely long boot after a restart too but once everything had loaded and I was unlocking the homescreen I was greeted by a LauncherPro force close, followed immediately by a SwitchPro widget force close, and then back to LauncherPro, so that it wouldn't allow me to see anything of the homescreen other than the wallpaper. I did recently make a Nandroid backup (plus a Titanium backup earlier today for my apps) would there be any way to use that or am I essentially restricted to flashing a new firmware with Odin?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear mohsen,

if your HDmini is from different region than ASIA you have to use SSPL to install this rom.

Mine is from Middle East... so to install this rom:

1- Extract the file with WINRAR or WINZIP -- you will have a .nbh file inside

2- Get the SSPL from this forum

3- Put the 2 file in the same directory

4- YOUR DEVICE HAS TO BE ON AND CONNECT TO PC VIA ACTIVESYNC

5- Run SSPL --> you will get a YES / NO popup on you device

6- Choose YES as soon as possible....

7- Device will go to TRICOLOR screen and SSPL will get ERROR

8- Don't worry... CHECK if USB appears on buttom of the tricolor screen

9- run SSPL again.... and follow instructions...

HAPPY UPDATING
