[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] sturmeh:
I smell a contradictory biased assessment here.

I agree the back doesn't cover enough, and the front is useless for us, but the feel and protection don't deserve 5 and 3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] paul c:
I can believe this review - I have used Invisible Shield in the past (the original "helicopter blade protector" product, now called Zagg.

I can't comment on the fit for the Galaxy, but this product leaves an unsightly wrinkly finish, not the mirror-quality reflection we'd expect/like. it's actually good for the underside, since the phone won't slide on smooth surfaces, but it's a definite no for the front of the phone.

Fitting these things are a nightmare, I have a feeling the wrinkles may be down to using more liquid than strictly necessary - but just try & use less!!! You will end up with that grippy plastic stuck at odd angles, and you'll then need to pull it off, deforming the protection.

The feeling is sticky, your finger will drag, not glide, across the screen - as well as a matt/orange peel finish.

I would say the ideal configuration would be a crystal clear or oleophobic screen protector, plus a silicone body - or for that matter a Gelaskins back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
Maybe the title is misleading. The product is for full body protection which is why I gave it a 5. The protection is quite horrible, in fact I thought 5 was quite generous. 5 is a good rating for the SP alone though.

As for the feel I find the rating quite justified as I've rated the SGP Ultra Crystal Clear SP as well and gave it a 7 and the Stealth Guards SP does not even compare to the SGP one. The SGP one feels quite smooth (very close to glass) and the look is impeccable. The Stealth Guards SP on the other hand feels awful, isn't nearly as clear, it's a pain in the a$$ to put on and is prone to "dents".
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jasonsf:
I just ordered one. I think I'll use only the back, though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xfox:
nice review man, well done
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] FITRS:
Sorry if you were expecting something great for $2. I think you're mistaken.

At best the back cover is for extra scratch protection if you don't use a case. At worst it's something you should make a personal assessment on and not put it on.

I just use the back, but I even have a thin case on it anyway. The front of mine I have a cheap ebay screen cover which works fine.

Although these Stealth say it's a front screen cover, if you look at the material you should be able to figure out it would be no good on the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
Thanks for your comment but your accusations aren't exactly warranted. You must not have read my review as I clearly said:

The reason I got the SP was because it was free and because I wanted to get one for my GF's 9700. Since I was getting one for my GF I figured I might as well get some material for my phone as well since it is "free". I've since used the material to make protectors for the home button and what not. I wouldn't dare put it on my screen as I already have an SGP Ultra Crystal Clear, + I have Realooks in the mail.

SGS has allready gorilla glass screen protector

i think it's okay to get a screen protector but i prefer nothing.

about 1.5 months allready in use and no scratches on the screen
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xxbeanxx:
I had one of these Stealth Guards on my HTC Legend and thought it was great. It didn't stay adhered for long before the edges started to peel though. I would just cut the peeling part off with an xacto knife to slow the progress, which worked okay but looked like crap. I won't be getting one for my SGS but do think it was worth the price (free).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankmaster:
Ive been wondering this for a while. Ive always assumed it was a blood thirsty beast ready ravage my soul for every ounce of life and energy within me, but i think thats only because ive only ever kept it on with google maps giving me turn by turn directions. I see almost everybody out there keeps there gps on just about all the time and now with these new kernels and the fact that i carry 2 spare batteries with me, it seems silly to have to keep toggling it off and on everytime i use a location based service.

So, when idle, i.e; not being directly polled by google maps or something of the like, does the GPS really super suck down the battery that bad? If some one can make a comparison of its battery usage to say the 3g or 4g radios i think that would be the best way to gauge it. Thank you all for your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecklbrg:
GPS doesn't do that much damage to the battery. The GPS will only run when it is requested by a program. I have a golf GPS program (skydroid) and I can play a round of golf with the GPS running 100% of the time and over about 4 hours I will lose about 30-40% of my battery. Now this is also w/ the phone never sleeping and the screen probably on for about an 40-60 minutes.

I am running CM6.0 w/ 7.6CFS w/ Turbo and I have setCPU w/ profiles set up.

[HD2 General] kalel8145:
Hi everyone. New here so I look to you for answers. I bought my HD2 about 2 weeks after they came out. Used it for about a month and started using a couple different phones for a while. My HD2 sat on my desk with the battery out of it for about 3 months before I decided to use it again last night. Last night I plug it in to charge and no charging light and it wouldn't turn on. I let it sit all night and still nothing in the morning. I took it to the t-mobile store and they tried a different battery and charger and still nothing. They suggested to call customer service since it is still under warranty. I have not flashed any ROMs or or changed it from stock in any way. Any suggestions before I go the customer service route? I searched the forums and could not find any answers to my specific issue. I appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
What kind of charger are you using? It sounds like your battery is completely dead, and to get it to charge you MUST use a charger that outputs 1amp. The stock charger provides this, but most 3rd party ones don't. Try using the stock charger for a couple of hours, and if that doesn't work, you will probobly need to jump start your battery using a common 9-volt battery. If it comes down to that let me know and I can walk you through the process.
[HD2 General] kalel8145:
I used the stock charger that was packaged with the phone. I think you are right that it is completely dead. How would I go about jump starting it? Thanks again!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Its fairly simple really. You need a 9 volt battery, and 2 peices of wire. Simply attach one end of each wire to the 9 volt somehow(tape, wrap the ends around it etc...) and then put the other ends of the wires to positive and negative on your HTC battery, observing positive 9 volt to positive HTC battery of course. You will more than likely have to hold the wires to the HTC battery, which is fine, just dont let them touch each other or you will risk shorting out and/or bursting your 9 volt. Anywho, hold them there for 2-5 minutes. If your HTC battery begins to get warm STOP immediately, let it cool down, then put it back into your HD2 and charge it with the stock charger. While the 9 volt battery doesnt supply as much amperage as the charger, it does provide more volts of course(9-ish versus 5) and can cause the battery to overheat and in some cases melt. After no more than 5 minutes, your battery should have 2-3% of a charge, which is enough for it to be recognized by the phone, and enough for it to be charged by the wall charger. The overcharge preventing circuitry is the reason why you sometimes have to do this trick, if the battery becomes completely discharged(less than 0% power) the overcharge circuitry recognizes it as being fully charged, or faulty and therefore will not supply it with power. Try that, and see what happens! And if nothing does, let me know and I will tell yah the next step.
[HD2 General] kalel8145:
Worked perfectly. Thanks so much for your help. I knew I'd find the answer on XDA.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No problem friend, glad I could help you get it back up and running!

Hello.

So, I was browsing around on the Google Market and got to thinking that it would be nice to have an actual application for Google Checkout. An app where you can not only purchase stuff, but also take payments.

I know there are apps for this already, but... as far as I know, they all charge or require you to have an actual business to do so (Intuit). Is there another app that lets you do that?

If not, I think someone should make an app like this. :)

Just a thought.

Hi everybody. I have a little question; I'm looking for an extended battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. I had some Chinese crap for a while, but it started to completely die on me. At first I went two days on a single charge and do some mad texting and browsing the internet a few times a day for 20-some minute periods. Now, this battery lasts me half of the day just to have the phone on Stand By.

I have a cover identical to this one; mien is not sold anymore http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300432340749&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Now, I really need a new battery for my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2, but I also don't want to spend more than $40 with shipping, on it. Any help?? Thank You Guys For Your Help!!

Addition: I want something above 3200 mAh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] medved.m:
I haven't seen anything of such a capacity. But you can obtain the item# 180463578660 from ebay.com (sorry I'm not allowed to post links), try it and let us know whether it's a crap, too :-)

Whoa! That's a lot of mah's. I bet a HTC battery like this one...

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38477&cat=4592

Of course your cover may not work, and would need this one to go with the HTC battery.

I can't find any extended batteries for the GSM phones. :mad:

The only two suggestion I have, is do what I do. I have a spare OEM battery that gets charged in a cradle. I will take it with me if I fear a dead battery before I can find somewhere to charge back up. And I have one of these in my laptop bag as a redundant source for charging.

If you go to NRG, use the "classic" CHT, not the 2.0; the 2.0 is still in beta and the last one I flashed was a battery hog.

[General Questions and Answers] PasSlert:
Hello all,

Well, some days ago, I decided to buy a Rhodium and sell my old Raphael, but first I had to fix the keyboard space bar who was causing trouble (had to push quiet strong to (as this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=777284). So, I had an old TP who was bricked, I thought I could switch the keyboard to fix this problem.

I disassembled the TP very very slowly and carefully (2 hours to open the first housing [...]) after all was done, I reconnected the speaker (once more, 2 hours to reconnect it...). I started the phone... all was fine, keyboard ok, but radio signal no detected (may be a bad location). Well, after somes hours I thought the rom was causing trouble -> flash into shipped rom, radio included, not improvement. Updating radio to latest one... no change. Hardware problem could only cause this.

But, when I'm very very very (yes, very !) near a great signal radio, my TP can connect to the operator ! (but low signal : EDGE). Otherwise, the TP is like in Flight mode.

What have I done ? have I destroyed the radio ? I followed the dissassembling process step by step.

Ps : I switched again to my old keyboard, no changing. :/

Ps 2 : Already posted in TP hardware problems, no answer.

Ps 3 :A beer will be offer to the one who could help me. ;)

I have spent hours trying to find them with no luck.
[G1 General] gee one:
With all this ROM flashing, I was looking for a way to load apps and preferences so that I wouldn't have to spend time configuring, setting ringtones, etc. each time after I flash a new ROM.

I created a flashable file that will add my own apps, similar idea to flashing the Gapps files. Just recently, I added a second file that flashes the app preferences from /data/data. It works with most apps- most apps have a shared_prefs folder. Remember this is just preferences and settings, not data such as SMS and call logs.

So far, some apps don't like being flashed and result in force closes or other issues:

- SetCPU (it works fine if I install it via Linda. I'm using the XDA-dev version- thanks coolbho3000!

- K9 mail

- wireless tether (2.0.5-pre6)

- XDA tapatalk

- GPSstatus2

The preferences don't seem to take if I flash them with the ROM. I have to reboot to recovery and flash the preferences. I suspect the ROM does a first time boot housecleaning procedure.

Has anyone done this or have any insight on what files in /data/data would be good/bad to use?

I can't figure out why some of these FC and others work just fine? Any ideas?

If I were to extract the data.img from an Nandroid backup, could I flash that? What else does that grab besides user apps?
