[Vibrant General] BitVenom:
Zagg = Sticky! Not good.

My wife has been using Zagg stuff for a few years, and I always hated the 'sticky' element. Smoothing dragging is impossible with their product.

A few months ago there was a convo on here, and the guy from Phantom Skinz popped in. I grabbed their Carbon-Fiber skin (came with 2 screen protectors), and I have been _Extremely_ happy. People often comment on the skin (and I have a custom metamorph for nearly the entire phone - which throws people off as well), and the screen protector isn't sticky at all, and has held up very well under my abuse.

Couldn't recommend them enough.
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
Like everyone else Realook is the best out there, I promise it is like is not even there, sometimes I even forget I have it on.

I have 3 Vibrants with Realook and they are virtually invisible.
[Vibrant General] SkOrPn:
I tried them all... errr, ok I only tried the store bought tmo brand on my Vibrant, but nothing compares to the "Realook" brand. Ive had BSE and ZAGG on previous phones but the realook is the ONLY one that has ever looked 100% invisible like the screen is naked. This in itself makes it worth every penny considering how important it is to NOT cover our amazing AMOLED screen. And not to mention that the darn thing practically installs itself. Ive never seen such a ridiculously easy SP application. I remember thinking to myself, "crap I could have thrown the SP at the phone and it would have installed just fine" LOL, I'm not kidding, I really did think this...

Realook hands down.... period! :D
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Another vote for Realook and big vote against Zagg. There are people who swear by them and say everyone else is installing them wrong, but mine was terrible. Luckily they do have a 100% refund policy :)

Steinheil's are also pretty good.

With either Realook or Steinheil, get the crystal clear kind. Can't tell it's there at all.
[Vibrant General] sano614:
Another vote for Realook. I've tried a ton of screen protectors, and these are by far the best. I cannot even tell there is a screen protector on.

And the price is good. I think I paid $10.99 with free shipping for 2 of them. They sell them themselves on eBay and Amazon.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I was a skeptic but tried the RL due to the popularity on here. It is very good. I would recommend splitting the costs with another XDA user. Also, while it is a good SP, I still do not believe one is needed, and it WILL add a lot of finger smudges.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
I've tried many screen protectors, believe it or not, I like the generic universal screen protectors from tmo that you cut to size yourself.

has worked great!
[Vibrant General] sinan.awad:
I vote for Martin Fields, barely visible. Only problem is you see fingerprints when the screen is off. (no biggy)
[Vibrant General] SkOrPn:
I vote for REALook, not visible what so ever. Finger prints though are worse than ive seen on any other screen protector, at least I think so. But it cleans well and like I said its like the no screen protector real look, hence the name.
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
The best I have seen are the "Cellet" brand from Frys (saves shipping too).

I've used the real look ones, the cellet are a bit clearer.

Yes I know....you just have to see for yourself.
[Vibrant General] meng8833:
I don't have a screen protector on, I like just having gorilla glass. Unless you carry around an open blade in your pocket I see no need. I've TRIED to key my screen and that didn't even scratch it :)
[Vibrant General] gravelox:
I agree with the previous poster, unless you travel with a pocket full of diamonds the Gorilla glass will obviate the need for a screen protector.
[Vibrant General] SkOrPn:
I disagree with both previous posters. Ive seen plenty of gorilla glass scratches to date, one in fact got terribly scratched from top to bottom and the upset owner never identified what the culprit was, all he found in his pocket next to his phone was small amounts of lint. I dont care how hard this glass is, its going to stay pristine and Im not going to take the chance with even the smallest scratch. I may be extra extra careful with this phone, but if I decide to go naked that will be the same day that this phone decides to fly out of my hand and onto the concrete below face first... No freggin way thank you very much. lol
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
I have a Droid X with gorilla glass and thought I was being careful.

I did get a couple of very small scratches in the glass, so I wound up using a protector.

The reallook ones are very good.
[Vibrant General] SkOrPn:
Did the reallook sp hide the scratches by chance?

so i'm swapping my vibrant for a nexus tomorrow. i'm told he never rooted it but i'm assuming he's accepted all of the ota updates. i'm trying read up on everything for this phone. i've been to the wiki at cyanogenmod and have been looking over the forums here obviously as well.

my main question is will i need to be a pc to root it? to unlock the bootloader i know i will need to be but will i absolutely need to do this before i can replace the recovery, radio, etc....?

thanks in advance :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorboy-johnny:
When you're phone goes into the bootloader your pc doesn't see a phone anymore. Then it's a USB Device.

Install right drivers while youre phone is in the bootloader mode.

After that try again to flash HSPL.

so i have a custom build over in the vogue forums but i would love to get it working on the hero, it is basically just a heavily customized version of AOSP so i took asop mod as a base and added my custom changes to it (that part i got) i then signed it and attempted to flash it to my hero, it got about half way through the installation and said i was missing and update script so if anybody can give me advice that would be awesome i would really love to get this build running on my daily phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
When you unzipped the ROM you should have seen some folders and a boot.img. There are some folders in the boot.img that need to be replaced along with the kernel for our phone. So just using a boot.img from another ROM might be the easiest. Otherwise you will have to unpack it, switch out files and repack with a kernel for our phone.

The update script is found in /META-INF/com/google/android/. You should be able to pull it from another ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
ah i deleted the meta-inf folder thats probably what cause the problem

also am i able to have a folder that keeps things in /data like i am on the vogue or does it all have to be in the system?

[Hero CDMA General] blizzake:
So I hard reset my phone and then tried to restore them using idrive lite. it Said restore was successful. Then go to contacts and nothing is there.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
You should save them as google contacts. Then when you sign back into google it will sync all your contacts. and you can also add or edit them online. No need for any app to backup contacts since google provides this for you. As far as I know the AOSP contacts automatically saves them as google contacts.
[Hero CDMA General] blizzake:
Thanks for the reply but that's what I'm trying to do guess i should've said that but I was using idrive on my blackberry and I hadnt changed my contacts to goohle yet. Just looking for a way to get this to work so i don't have to add 300 contacts manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr33p440:
Does anyone know if Samsung plans to add in GAL searching options for contacts? I know you can search the GAL in an e-mail message, but not being able to search the corporate directory for phone numbers is a drag.

I flashed a rom without voodo lagfix disabled so it messed everything so I reflashed the rom and it worked fine at first, everytime it turned off i had to re-flash a rom, so I decided to odin so it would work nomal and after the odin the phone boots then ges to black screen and only the touch buttons light up. I cant even get into recovery mode, only download. The phone just plays a little circle when trying to boot now. Also before I odined I formated the internal memory through setting-sd.. does that make a difference? Someone please help im terrified its a gonner.. :eek:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Next time, these types of threads belong in Q&A.

Here's the fix I found in the BIonix thread. You were close by trying to use Odin, but you may want to try it in this order

"Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out.

So you forgot to disable the voodoo lagfix before you flashed a new rom and now you're getting an error, similar to the one posted below. Even Odin won't allow you to flash back to stock. Well, pay close attention and with some luck, you'll be good as rain...or something like that.

Fix 1:

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!

Fix 2: (use only if you know how to use adb commands)

1. Place the 'disable-lagfix' file in your sdk>tools directory

2. Get into clockwork recovery like you normally would

3. Follow these adb commands to push the 'disable-lagfix' file to you sdcard>voodoo

adb push disable-lagfix /sdcard/voodoo

4. File should now be on your sdcard in your voodoo folder.

5. Reboot phone and with luck, you should hear Linda the robot telling you your file system is being converted back to rfs.

6. Because your system directory has already been wiped, you'll still get a black screen when you reboot, but your file system is back to rfs. Just pull the battery, and reflash whatever rom you want. Then reboot again."

try this

cross your toes cuz this takes almost all your fingers to do!

start odin

plug in your usb

take the sim+ battery + storage out of your phone

with battery out plug in the usb while holding both volume keys

with the volume keys held down put the battery back in should put you back into DL mode hopefully.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavyi:
All you need to do is odin stock and if you get the black screen install the last kernel you were running, this happened to me back when I first got my phone using voodoo ocv4, you didn't brick so no worries.

Please post questions in the Q&A sub-forum instead of the development sub-forum. This thread has been moved.

Thank you

P.S. I hope you get the issues worked out.

Try the following: Get an odin version of voodoo*** (if you can't find one, it's not too hard to create one, let me know if you need help figuring out how to make one), then flash it. Hopefully from there you can get to the recovery, then adb push the disable lagfix file, then reboot the phone with the disable lagfix file in it until it tells you it's completed, then reodin to a working ROM.

***It's important that you odin in a working VOODOO kernel.

Do those steps then flash back to Stock 2.1 afterwards with Odin. Hope this helps.

Yeah for a little it was completely broke. I held volume buttons for like 2 minutes straight and it finally went into download mode.

Update to .NET Compact Framework 3.5.

Make sure to install to device and not storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so, and force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.

For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juadagu:
Hi everyone, I really need some help configuring 3G on my u20i. The thing is I bought it online and I live in Colombia (south america) and even with the APN correctly configured the phone only uses EDGE.

My mobile provider requires UMTS-HSDPA 850 and according to the official website of SE the u20i's hardware allows that kind of network (google it, I couldn't post the link 'cause I'm a new member)

The FW of my x10 mini pro is associated with some Chinese carrier. I'm not completely sure, but with the last SO update it installed a bunch of apps in Chinese and according to the build.prop file on my device the ro.product.name is U20i_1237-6040.

When I go to the mobile settings on my device and select "Network Mode" I only get GSM and WCDMA.

I'm guessing that the fault to connect to 3G is due to configuration on the FW by the carrier. Any ideas about this? does anyone have a similar problem?

Thank you all for your help!!
