Can someone recommend a static grip screen protector, please? I don't like the idea of the ones that need to be squeegeed on there, but I'm hoping there are some good alternatives.

Thanks,

-Rob

[Epic 4G Accessories] ravizzle:
yea i ordered mine yesterday, ive read good things about them, ships from my home country of canada
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
Any experience with any of the other clarivue screen protectors (anti glare, mirror, or privacy)? If so, what were your impressions of them?
[Epic 4G Accessories] ImSoHungry:
i just use the gorilla glass, dont like the feel of the screen with a protector on. Also, with this nice plastic case i got from best buy, the phone can never land on the screen if dropped.
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
Are you referring to the platinum (rebranded seidio) case?
[Epic 4G Accessories] ImSoHungry:
yes, funny you say that, i thought it felt exactly like my seidio!
[Epic 4G Accessories] ravizzle:
I havent used any of those other ones, i've read good things about anti glare and ultra clear. but havent heard anything positive or negative about the others.

also, i have used a generic mirror screen on my hero before, makes the phone look nice when its off, however horrible to use in daylight and also screen brightness has to be all the way up so kills battery
[Epic 4G Accessories] docprego:
I'd like to do this too, I absolutely love the feel and look of the phone without a screen protector. But I am too worried about scratches. I keep hearing people say things like it's Gorilla Glass and can't scratch. I watched the videos where people attempt to scratch the Gorilla Glass screen on purpose and can't. But every once in a while I read a comment from someone that says they got a scratch on their Gorilla Glass screen and they have no idea how. I'm not sure what to think.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ravizzle:
Got my clarivue today, installed easy, can barely tell its there and doesn't mess with capacitive buttons on bottom.

[Epic 4G Accessories] jacjyd:
Is gorilla glass what the screen is made of? 'Cuz I scratched mine. :-( My accessories were in the mail but I went out on a My Tracks expedition on a local hiking trail over the long weekend (couldn't resist! I've never had GPS on a phone) and I dropped my phone and it got scratched on what must've been a pebble in the otherwise softish dirt trail.

More accurately, my phone fell out of my pocket when I jumped thinking a spider landed on my head.
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
Received my clarivue screen protectors in the mail today and I am less than impressed with them.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
Thoughts? Pros cons? Please explain. :eek:
[Epic 4G Accessories] remedy22:
It's not the quality of the screen protector itself that I have problem with. It is completely clear (as described) and has a nice feel to the touch. Not the same silky smoothness as glass obviously, but not a rubbery feel to it either.

The overall cut and fitment of the screen protector is my biggest problem with it. Clarivue says that all their screen protectors are cut slightly small (which is fine) but the design for the epic isn't centered properly. If you align the top correctly (so that the front facing camera and sensors are exposed) you will find that the entire screen protector favors the right hand side of the phone. This leaves you with a noticeable gap on the left side and practically no gap on the right side.

I also encountered some installation issues since the second tab did not want to separate from the screen protector. I wouldn't hold that against clarivue however, but in my case I had to physically separate them which caused the corner to not adhere to the screen properly.

I'm going to contact clarivue about these issues on monday and see what they have to say about it. I've heard good things about seidio's ultimate screen guard and will mostly like order a pair of them when they become available.
[Epic 4G Accessories] InfDaMarvel:
I had one custom fitted at a mall near me for 9 dollars. I really cant tell its there and it add to the feel of the screen (less greasy/finger marks).
[Epic 4G Accessories] jemarent:
i have a tiny scratch and have no idea what it's from. I assume it was a rivet on my jeans or some****, kinda disappointed since I've checked out people trying to scratch the screen but couldn't
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
CM6 is definitely great, I think without question it is a vast improvement.

The only issue I have is my battery life is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Could be the worst battery life I've had with any phone. But maybe that's just the EVO, with it's big screen and speedy processor. I underclock to 384 mhz sometimes but then the thing slows down and even freezes. I have 3 different batteries and they all perform about the same (not good.) Before I had a partial wake issue but that's gone, and battery life still stinks. I've also tried calibrating but nothing really seems to make it better.

I hear the snap thing is good for battery life but I everytime I open that thread I get a headache. I love this phone and am obsessed wtih it but that thread is a bit much even for me!

Can anyone give me a quick and dirty explaination of what snap is / how to use snap? Which kernel to flash? Some day I hope to digest that mammoth of a thread, but right now I'm too busy reading texts for college and Just want better battery life.

Thanks!

Download app System Panel. Will help show you what is eating up your battery/resources.

Then, download app Juice Defender. Worth it to get the paid version. Its like 3 bucks IIRC. This will help you get more battery life out of your phone.

-Sent from my Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Yeah, I tried System Panel but the things eating my battery were mostly system things, like Browser. I guess I could give it another go.

Why are Juice Defender reviews so bad? I've considered it before also, maybe will try playing with it again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
snap 8.2 is the current release. you can try any of the kernels, but i would avoid the 7.0/7.1 SD Card implementations since that technology has been put on the back burner for a bit.

Snap allows you to you Overclock and Undervolt (aka: UV).

Overclocking of course is for speed and Undervolting may save battery.

all EVOs are not created equal. some like undervolting some do not. so snap is available in multiple flavors. each with a different UV floor. the lower the floor the more potential battery saving..but also the more chance for a random reboot or wifi/gps acting funny. remember UV retards the amount of power so things can act goofy. the different UV floors are 800mv - 925mv. for example...i use the 8.2_900 because it works well with my EVO. the 8.2_800 booted great but after a while started rebooting itself. 8.2_850 just hung at bootup. the 8.1 kernels didn't work for me at all. 7.3b1 was great.

HAVs is adaptive..so don't get stressed if your device fails to boot properly the first time. wipe the cache/dalvik and try again.

so download a few of the 8.2 kernels.

make your nandroid

begin trial and error (I'd suggest starting at 800, 850 then 900 to get a feel)

don't be afraid to wipe the Cache and Dalvik multiple times.

don't worry about the whole thread. just grab the last few pages and read the OP. then feel free to ask.

i also recommend setCPU. you can find some threads for SetCPU configurations to help. BUT....make sure SetCPU is disabled when flashing the new kernel. once you get a working kernel you can enable SetCPU...but during testing phase it will give you gray hair.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodelyfe:
GREAT EXPLANATION Dragin!!!

and also, to the OP.... dont forget, if you do go with setcpu, do NOT 'set on boot' mmmmkay??? lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Thank you Dragin!!!

That helps a lot! So once you have Snap setup at what you feel is "good" does your phone seem to perform as well as before you had it undervolted? Man, sounds like a pretty involved process - maybe I better wait until I can really sit down and play with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foueddyf:
Do you mean for the first flash? Or every time you boot your phone?

If not set on boot, it means you have to start SetCPU manually after each boot. Doesn't seem right O.o
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
I think he's talking about when ur figuring out the best setup

Regarding Juice:

I didn't really read too much into the reviews for this particular app. It works. I was having battery issues. Downloaded Juice, got the settings somewhat right to my liking and so far no complaints. Unplugged my phone from charger this morning at roughly 9am, been using it moderately all day, and as of right now at 12:50am, I am at 29%.

Bad reviews or not, I can attest to it working and making a difference in battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
I had the same issue, left to stock with kingx.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Do you know what in particular Juice is doing to give you better battery life? like what does Turn off certain things based on conditions or?

That is some good battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyc_zx10:
Correct.

You can set conditions to do certain things. Such as disable data/3g/wifi while screen is off. Also if you need data synced you can set a condition to enable data wifi or 3g for X minutes every X minutes/hours.

I am not affiliated with the dev in anyway but it def made a difference and was worth the price for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Meh... see I really don't want to do those things. I can turn off data sync myself and just have gmail forward me a text message when I have an email. I just was hoping there was a way to get decent battery life without going back to the days of Winmo :(

I absolutely adore CM6, but I'm really starting to think that it is not battery friendly. Last night my battery went from full to 25% in 8 hours. I had nothing running, my partial wake was fine, and Android system took up 60%+. I really don't feel like doing another wipe, but it looks like I may have to. Just want it to work right at this point.

Again, I truly love CM6, the open source concept, the transparency, the whole clean idea of it, but there is something seriously wrong with the battery life (at least in every install I have tried)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i agree with you. but i also feel that CM6 is on par with the Official HTC/Sprint ROM when it comes to battery life expectancy. however, after i put on the snap kernel and copied someones setcpu config....i got 26+hrs of 'use it as i wish' time + still had about an hour of in-pocket time left. i was hooked. i bet you an imaginary dollar the same will happen for you.

as for finding your EVOs kernel made in heaven...

it's not too bad so long as you have some time. but if you are time strapped, need your phone in 20min and don't read the OP... you will curse and swear. expect to get hung up at the HTC splashscreen a few times and it will bootloop on you before your done. <I'd suggest just leaving your battery cover off until you are done muckn about for that session>

klick may be easier for the some end users because of fewer selections. I've never used his kernels. if i try them, i'll prolly wait till he's put out a few AOSP versions...to work out any bugs.

oh yeah...one odd thing, it seems that sometimes folks flash a incompatible kernel it gets 'stuck'. after that 'bad flash' they are unable to flash any kernel until after they have nandroided back and rebooted...then they can flash again. i had this happen twice....i was unable to get a known good kernel to load until after i restored from backup. /shrug

oh....try this.

download the snap7.5_925 kernel.

if it runs smooth. call it a day and you should be pretty happy with that until the new versions come out. yeah, if you got one of the _800 kernels running you may pull an extra 30-45min of time...but that requires a level of geekdom that not everyone has.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Thanks man, appreciate the breakdown.

You have inspired me, I'm going to bite the bullet and try this snap7.5_925 kernel. I'll report back my luck :)

I do enjoy this stuff, really - just right now it would be irresponsible for me to spend too much time on it. School comes first right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loupy:
Wow, I'd love to have that kind of time with CM6, right now I drain at about 10% an hour with no usage at all; where can I find that setcpu config? I really like CM6 but battery life is killing me right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
Yeah dragin, don't hog those sweet settings! :) I'm enjoying Snap 7.6 and it seems to be helping out my battery life a bit, but I'd love to see your SetCPU details.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loupy:
I've found that the issue for me is bluetooth. If I have it on constantly my battery will drain 10-15% per hour. With bluetooth off it's only draining 1%-2% per hour.

Seems like the bluetooth needs work on CM6 in order to have the efficiency that the other ROMs i've tried (Fresh and EViO) have. Nonetheless, I'm sticking with CM6 and just use the bluetooth when necessary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctmay4:
I have the same issue with bluetooth on CM 6.0.0. I am running the stock kernel that comes with cyanogenmod, so this is definitely not a snap issue. There was a bug submitted about a month ago:

code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2136

I *really* hope this can get fixed for the 6.1 release, but it is currently listed with a low priority. I really love CM6, but basically making bluetooth unusable for more than a few hours really makes me struggle with the using this rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockky:
Why not the 7.6 with turbo...just wonderin
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctmay4:
Why didn't I try 7.6 with turbo? Just haven't got around to it. Everything seems really fast already. If it could fix the bluetooth issue I'd flash it right away. I don't think that is the case however.

Here's the problem:

This is running on a 330mhz processor at 240:320px, openGL es 1.1

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swHoku9u5Zs[/YOUTUBE]

This is running on an 800mhz processor at 320:480px, openGL es 2.0

Why is the second one running considerably slower on a much faster processor and much faster graphics card?

The only answer i could find is that the i5700 has twice the number of pixels in the resolution compared to the n82.

What does it means?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
all the world has the 'regular' hd2, which has 448meg ram and 512 meg rom.

T Mobile USA (tmous) has 576 meg ram and 1024 meg rom.

Regular hd2 can use any radio, any rom, tmous hd2 can ONLY use radios with x.xx.50.xx in the version number. (But not 2.04.50.x and 2.05.50.x, they will also destroy tmous phones)

Any radio with x.xx.51.xx in the version will destroy the tmous.

Any roms not that do not say tmous compatible will not boot.

[Android Apps and Games] -viperboy-:
What fixed the wallpaper force close for me was swiping my home screen from right to left and tapping on a folder where I had a picture I wanted to set as my wallpaper. After doing menu > set as > wallpaper it goes back to the home screen. You should than be able to press and hold on the home screen without a force close.

Also, this was on an EVO and I installed both files in the OP. Nice home screen app! Thanks again!

Edit: also, the wallpapers the app came with don't work, but you can set live wallpapers and pictures you have stored on your SD card.

I dis like the fact the apps are chilling on the home screen. When I can push the menu key on my Incredible to show the apps with favorites. I do love the fact that this is one of the rare apps that actually has a wall paper that fits one screen, to size. It's always been odd to me how android wall paper most commonly stretch through the screens. Its nostalgic how this home screen uses the picture to fit one screen for all!

P.S. Not sure if any cares but I found a nice app (live wallpaper) called: MultiPicture!!!! It was just what I was looking for and more!
[Android Apps and Games] titus1:
Here's my take...NOT GOOD

No TaskBar

No Notification of sort when you receive a message (just the sound)

No LED Notification

I'm on OpenDesire Rom, there's a FC on tapping/holding the screen. But when I move the apps on internal memory NO FORCE CLOSE at all. It's just that you can't assign the wallpapers that comes with the Launcher.

Ignore the Launcher and get the NemoPlayer

SITUATION:

This is not the first time that happened to me. Suddenly, I see blank folder/thumbnails in my Gallery. Some photos won't show up, some photos are supposed to be from other folders, some shows a thumbnail but when clicked, a different photo comes up.

I thought this happened to me before as I was using ext4 for my ext. storage on my then Kang-o-Rama ROM. I tried switching to ext3, which was more stable and the problem was fixed. But suddenly, today, I noticed that this happened again. Only the gallery app / photos are affected and my whole system. My whole system is running smoothly. I wouldn't want to think its my SD card because it is localized in the viewing photos. And almost all my apps run from the SD.

I'm using an Enomther-based ROM, MicroMod, and I never had problems before today.

Anyone else experienced this or any thoughts?

[Epic 4G Accessories] hydralisk:
Hi,

So I've been trying to use my Epic like I used to use the Evo. The Epic's dock is the best substitute for the Evo's kickstand. Unfortunately, you can't plug your headphones into the normal headphone jack when the phone is connected do the dock. Instead there is a headphone jack on the back of the dock. When watching a movie with my headphones plugged into that jack, the sound still comes from the phone and NOT my headphones.

Anyone else experience this? Any solutions?
[Epic 4G Accessories] othan1:
The tiny little piece of paper (yeah, annoying) they gave us with it states that it won't be functional until we get Android 2.2.
[Epic 4G Accessories] hydralisk:
SIIIIIIIIIIGH.

I should probably read this stuff. I just expect things to work. Silly me :p
[Epic 4G Accessories] othan1:
Don't worry, I almost threw it out assuming it was just a stupid warranty paper like everything has.

But after reading it, it does give you some nifty docking software to download. Now my phone is an excellent bedside clock.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ravizzle:
Thats dissapointing, i was thinking of getting a dock but i really need for headphones to work, i guess ill just have to go with a DIY custom dock.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ldrn:
I grabbed both the home dock and the extra battery charger; the former works great except for headphones, and the latter has a groove in it for a dock. The groove doesn't fit the phone unless you open the keyboard, but it works fairly nicely as a portable dock / kickstand replacement, I think. :)

I'd still prefer a kickstand (especially one like my N810 had), but I think this is the closest we'll get... :(
[Epic 4G Accessories] Fixter:
Well, I just connected through the line jack on the Dock through my home theater and it just doesn't do anything. Now I see whats the problem... Great.
[Epic 4G Accessories] HAXSUNG GAL:
For all you folks that have the travel charger...open the lid and then lean your Epic into the groove. The open lid serves to keep the phone forward Facing in either portrait or landscape mode while still charging your spare battery. FYI. And you still have full access to your headphone jack.
