It's definitely a great app; the customization options allow you to tweak the overclocking settings exactly to your liking, and the extra features (ad blocking, memory management) are a plus.

Good lord that app has a lot of features. It's pretty funny that my D2 is faster doing things @ 300 Mhz than my Eris @ 768 Mhz.
[Droid 2 General] cfaherty:
I'm keeping mine at 1GHz max but at very low voltage. I had some trouble running Hungry Shark 2 at anything higher. I tried all voltages so I don't know what the problem is since everything else ran ok even at higher clocks.

Anyhow I like to make a profile and run the priority/threshold down low to 10 or so. Makes it real responsive to touch & fling so it feels faster even at lower maximum clocks.

Orange and T-mobile are now part of the same company in the UK. I was expecting this to mean use of Orange masts for T-mobile customers and vice versa. It kind of does, but you have to register for it here: https://www.t-mobile.co.uk/online-optin/check-eligibility/

Works like a charm! You're roaming when you're on the other network but other than that it works great...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] correnos:
My evo has a moderately serious screen scratch on it as a result of a friend dragging it across a rough table (long story). Touch screen sensitivity isn't affected, but it is rough whenever I drag my finger over it, and is clearly visible whether or not the screen is on. I think that the scratch is deep enough that using Brasso to polish the screen down to the level of the scratch would not be a good idea. I am wondering if some form of some form of eyeglass repair would not be effective. I am assuming that said kits use some form of clear material to fill in the scratch and do not work on the same principle as the aforementioned Brasso. If I am incorrect in this assumption, does anyone have an alternative suggestion as to filling in the scratch with clear acryllic?

If there is no way to repair the scratch, another option would be to attempt to turn in the Evo on warranty. I'm reasonably sure that the scratch constitutes damages outside the scope of the warranty, but my evo is also suffering from a minor case of the screen separation issue. Does anyone know or have experience as to whether that issue can get my phone turned in on warranty? I'm rooted, but can factory reset and reflash easily enough. I'll be sure to put a screen protector on the next one :).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Arcadia310:
I still have the original plastic film on the screen from when I bought the phone but it's starting to peel off on one edge. Can anyone recommend me some good screen protectors? I would prefer it they do not smear and don't distort the screen in any way (colors or clarity). Thanks for any help! Loving this phone. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] philosophics:
I'm in the same position. I went to ebay and purchased this extreme guard for $3.99 with free shipping.

It was sold when I found out the material is for protecting exotic car paint jobs...

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Naimand:
You know, the one from tmobile isn't that bad. I was skeptical at first, but its easy to put on and I am actually satisfied. I took it off once to reposition and then peeled various parts back to get dust off of the screen and its stuck like it was brand new.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] user1307:
Yeah I'm trying to find a good sp before I get my G2 also. There's a few threads here already and the Vikuiti sp has good reviews but I'm waiting to see if someone can tell me if it's better than the Realook sp. I had the Realook one for the Vibrant and it was great, couldn't even tell it was on (aside from the ocassional fingerprints).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Snuggl3s:
i Have the ones from T-Mobile, a little high in price at $14.99 but if u mess up you do get 2. You also get a screen cleaning cloth. If you like to use Swype then ull love this SP! it makes it super easy 2 swype. Fingers never get stuck to it and its a much better SP than the ones for the Mytouch / G1. iF u can find a friend whos buying a G2 u guys can go half on the pack at that point its 8 bucks a pop. Not bad.

You guys should really try the ZAGG i posted, it's the best screen protector you can buy in my opinion:

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] harrij4:
I'd like to find one that isn't "rubbery" at all. The one that came with my wife's MT3G isn't "scratch proof" like the rubbery ones, but it's nice and smooth and doesn't give the "orange peel" texture and distortion to the screen. I really don't mind if the SP get's scratched, I can always replace it! I just want an experience that is as close to no SP as possible.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Snuggl3s:
Not the color but clarity. Just ever so slightly though. Makes this kinda grainy. You really won't notice.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pseudoswede:
If you both need OEM cases, then there is a deal at T-Mobile stores where if you buy 3 accessories, you get everything for 30% off. It would make the screen protectors about $10 (and the cases between $17-20-ish).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rpmccormick:
I don't mean to be a troll, but why do people need cases or screen protectors? You can try to scratch the screen with a razor and have no luck. I've never used a case or a screen protector, and all of my past phones still look new other than some slight paint rub off and one has a tiny dent on the corner from dropping it 8ft. All glass is 100% scratch free, even after many drops. What are you people doing with your phones???
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Jorsher:
I think I could keep my screen scratch-free, but to be honest I just simply don't want to risk it. With every phone I've purchased, I've thought I could keep from dropping it, but shtuff happens. A scratched screen is highly annoying. I'd rather have a screen protector and never have to worry about it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pseudoswede:
I have a bad habit of dropping my phone, usually on hard, unforgiving concrete. The last thing I want is to damage or scratch up my case--especially during the 14-day buyer's remorse period.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ramainli:
I've used martin fiekd overlays and its pretty awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] styles24:
I dont know about you, but when i sell my phones, it usually helps when the screen looks next to new. Tiny scratches develop over time whether you like it or not, so a SP is good to use. Plus, i dont know who fed you the information about glass being 100% scratch free because it is not.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rpmccormick:
I was saying my glass on my used phones are 100% scratch free. I have sold many phones on eBay after using them for 2 years. Their screen all looked "next to new" despite never using a SP.

They seem like a good idea for a female that drops her phone in to an over filled purse, but my phone is always alone in a pants pocket or sitting on a table/shelf/etc. I have dropped my phones multiple times, but thankfully none of them have ever got a scratch from it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] johnbibbs:
The best SP I have found to date is the one from T-Mobile. It's anti-smudge, cuts down on glare and has a great feel to it. I paid $15 for 2 of them.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Does it have a glass feel to it? I ordered one from a good business and it feels very much like glass I just don't like the way it fits on my g2. The corners looks as if they're going to peel off.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] TheManCityLife:
Haha man I still have the plastic screen protector that it came out the box with. Once that is done ill get a new one.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] johnbibbs:
I'm not sure how to describe the feel. I guess you can describe it as a matte glass type feel.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] falloutgod13:
My out of the box screen cover came off from being in my pocket. I recommend ordering straight from T-Mobile. Their double screen pack also came with a little screen cleaning cloth. I also ordered some stuff from skinomi which was a waste of my time and money.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] starfcker69:
I still have the plastic protector on. The top of the protector covers the speaker grill (I snipped the top bit off). I believe this has been the cause of many of the complaints about the quality of the speaker sound - lol!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] k25anova51:
i bought the ones from t-mobile as well. i wasn't too happy about paying that much for them at first, but after getting them on, i'll probably be buying it again from t-mobile. it's a matted look, doesnt distort colors, it's not as amazingly sharp, but it still looks good.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
I ordered the Vikuiti ones, 2 for $29 and change plus 1 free. This is the first phone I've ever put a protector of any kind on. Ill let you guys know what I think when they arrive from germany. Umm..... don't hold your breath.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
The only reason I'm putting them on our G2's is because of the razor sharp inner edge of the screen bezel.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Mine were shipped VERY fast (4 days to get to South Texas). Which ones did you buy, ADQ or DQC? I bought both and found that DQC didn't fix on mine property, it was just a bit to much in length (left to right). ADQ worked alright.

Let me know how yours come out. I wanna try the DQC again.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] popokrew:
Ive had my phone for a little over a week. Just went at lunch time today to get the case and SP for the G2 at the TMO store. I can definately see the difference in clarity and im debating on taking it off. It looks grainy. I may return the case too.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
I got the ADQ cause it has an anti-reflective layer. These things better fit or ill be finding out how good Gtranslate is at german curse words.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
It's like touching glass..literary . I got like two 3 air bubbles on two of the corners.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
I bought the $15 T-Mobile ones first. They were easy to apply, and I'm sure they protect the screen just fine. I hated the look and feel of the matte finish, though. Just personal preference.

Looking for something better now...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] user1307:

I know these are highly regarded around the Vibrant section and I've used these before so I know they work great and doesn't detract from the screen clarity at all.

Here are a few reviews I found.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] starfcker69:
I read a bunch of reviews - these seem great! Not sure I want to install a protector with the "wet" method on G2 since the speaker grill on top seem like a perfect conduit for water to enter the internals of the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I got my zagg shield a couple days ago. The screen protector seems to fit fine. I dont like them cuz it feels to much like rubber, not at all like glass. I could also swear that it reduces the screensensitivity dramatically.

for anyone who is buying the zagg screen protector, there's a 50% off coupon: 50sport

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] user1307:
The sp is a dry applicant. You don't really need to wet the surroundings, it just helps to reduce any dust in the air. You can use a scotch tape to remove any dust on your screen instead, it just requires more patience.:)

Anyhow, 2 for 10.99 is a pretty good deal for such a nice sp. Also I think there's a 10% coupon code somewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Adam5400:
I got the skinomi screen only protector from amazon for $5 flat including shipping. Its a lot closer to glass than the bse skin I had on my g1.

And don't worry about getting it wet, just keep water away from the speaker and/or let it dry for a while before you put the battery back in. The jury is still out on this skin though as I'm still waiting for the last bit of residue to clear up from under the protector (I heard it could take up to a week, but its only noticeable on white screens so its not a bit deal).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] funkadesi:
I am in the same boat as you.... plus mine didnt fit because of the imporper cut.

I am considering to return it because they DO have a 45 Day money back guarantee. So far the options are:

Zagg

Bestskinever

Reallook

T-Mobile Anti-smear

and the issues are...

Zagg - Thick and nice protections but its rubbery and reduces the sensitivity of the screen.

Reallook - is good and clear but LOVES fingerprints.

T-Mobile Anti-smear - heard good things to far.... just might buy it.

Bestskinever - is just like ZAGG, rubbery.... :(

If anyone else finds anything better DO let us know

EDIT: Found another one called Skinomi with lifetime replacements!!! only for 0.98 with SHIPPING!

How do they feel once theyve settled in for a while?

I am trying to AVOID rubbery feel, however I dont mind the glossy Look.

I am remember when the 1st gen MT3G came out they shipped screen protectors with the phone.... if I can get something like that it would be great since those protectors were good quality.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Sv3nt3k:
I actually went with the ones they sell at the T-Mobile store. Very easy to apply but there is a very slight notice of coloration that is multi-colored, like a rainbow. However, it has a very nice feel and haven't suffered from any sensitivity loss.

I'm sure there was better options available to me but I went ahead and went with that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] fgizzard:
Does the Vikuiti actually have a cutout for the light sensor on the top left, like the pictures show?

I think that might bother me
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Yes, it does.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
I just received and installed my ADQC27 and am very pleased. There is a cutout for the 2 sensors,fit is almost perfect w/ @ .030" at the bottom of the screen not covered. Thickness is just enough to be even with the top of the screen bezel. Feel and response of the screen is completely unchanged. Bad news, $30 for 3 w/shipping, my order processed on the 14th. Easy install stick it down, pull it up,scrape with credit card to remove bubbles,pull it up, etc.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] funkadesi:
OK I installed the Skinomi techskin skin protector and I can say it is MUCH MUCH better than the Zagg protector. The Zagg was deff more thicker that skinomi but skinomi looks like it will hold up against the scratches. I did have to install it twice because I got some lint underneath the first time, so I immediately removed it and reapplied it. The miniature "spots" that were air bubbles disappeared the next day. I DO have the rainbow lines on left half of my screen, waiting for them to go away. Skinomi offers free lifetime replacements so if it doesnt go away I will order a replacement.

The feel is great, the SP feels exactly like the screen, scrolling is super smooth and there is no rubbery feel like Zagg.

One thing to keep in mind is that skinomi's So is just a tad bit short vertically.... which i suppose makes it easier to remove.. so I opted to cover the complete bottom part. So the SP falls very very very short of the speaker grill!

Overall: good SP, good coverage, and at 98 cents... unbeatable deal lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rhodes588:
Skinomi techskin just shot up to 9.95. Glad I got them when it was .98 cents!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GoLocutus:
I use these, from radio shack.

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4050263

Dry application. I cut it to size, then just scrub the heck out of the screen with a microfiber cloth (it even comes with one) til it's 100% free of the tiniest fibers and dust specs (important). Then I line up one edge and slowly apply with the little card, preventing bubbles. I might leave a couple tiny bubbles on the edge, but the screen is crystal clear and perfect. Though there is smudging in direct light and after calls against my face. But microfiber takes care of that too!

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Fidyyuan:
I use the tmobile one and it scratches easily :(. The matte finish is really nice though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
noticed that too. I'm assuming you mean the anti-smear one? I currently have nothing on my G2 and ordered some off eBay, 3 for 5 dollars. I find those to be hardly noticeable and they feel like the screen. Not to worried bout anti-smear, as long as it reduces glare somewhat and protects from scratches. I also ordered another pouch like the one I have with my nexus
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Fidyyuan:
Yeah, the T-Mobile anti-smear one. I haven't even had it for a week and there's scratches from it just from my thumb when I scroll up and down (I don't have nails, my skin just scraped it I guess :/) I would not recommend the T-Mobile one. I might try skinomi or realook.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
Currently in the process of putting on a full skin protector from BSE.

Im taking as much time as I want because it would be stupid to try to put this on in under an hour.

Its not even perfect (though this is mainly due to the cut. Still pretty close though).

So far im done with the front. The sides werent that bad, surprisingly...

edit:

Just finished up the final piece on the back.

My thoughts so far: its pretty great for $11.

To me, it seems like Zagg and BSE are the same.The application is near identical.

Some points to make out:

- I didnt get a perfect cut. I doubt anybody got the "perfect" cut. Its more of a YMMV thing. You will definitely have some areas where there will be no protection, but these areas are very minimal and you wont even notice it.

- Continuing from the first point, some of the skins like the front screen skin is a little bit short, but shouldnt be a problem. I decided to line the bottom of the skin with the touch panel. Looks much better that way IMO. The very top of the screen where the ear piece is located is unprotected, but its very very small. It's enough to cover just over the "T-Mobile" name.

- At first, I thought the edges/flaps would be a pain to put on, but it wasn't so bad after all. Then again, this might be due to my experience in already applying these protectors. I used a blow dryer to speed up the drying process. I never did this in the past until now and it works great.

- I like the way they made the cut. Instead of small individual pieces for the edges, they made it into one large piece. One piece covers the back bottom (where With Google is located) and the volume rocker side. Another piece covers the back top and the side where the battery latch is located.

- The silver side panels each get their own protective cover. The area above the ear piece has its own cover and so does the area below the track pad.

- In all, there are 8 pieces used to protect the G2

I got most of the bubbles out, but there is still some moisture on the front screen and the back of the phone. Hopefully that should disappear in a day or two. I used a Zagg squeegee from my iTouch and honestly, it is much better than using a credit card. I was stupid to test out a CC to see how well it worked, but the CC made a small nick on the front screen. Im hoping it'll go away soon, but if not oh well.

Overall, I think its great. It's still early to make a final judgment. I actually planned on buying a protective case this time around instead of using a skin, but the bulkiness of the G2 with the added case would really suck to carry in my pocket. Plus, Im one of the few that actually likes the color of the G2.

I dont have a high quality camera to take pictures. Hopefully someone that also bought this can take pics.

I'll post an update in a few more days.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] skiptomylou11:
I got XpressClear or whatever off of Amazon. Probably the worst screen protector I have ever encountered. It has been about 12 hours since I applied it, and it still looks like it's wet from the inside. Not to mention the stupid screen protector easily smears from trying to get the air bubbles off the damn thing.

It was two bucks with free overnight shipping. It seemed too good to be true... and it was. You get what you pay for apparently. I'll have to check out the ones suggested here.

It's a shame because the screen protector I had on my G1 for almost two years cost me one cent and you can't even tell I have a screen protector...
