WoW... Nice dude. Looks pretty sweet. Showed my wife she can't decide between the white carbon or platinim carbon now. I'm going black Carbon for myself. Good on ur part for calling them. Good on their part for making it right.

I'm looking for a Promo Code tho! (Hint hint)<---@PhantomSkinz Guru. ;)

Thanks again for posting pics

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ACHILLES R32:
Ordered phantom skinz for my g2, even though i like the carbon fiber. I order the clear skin because i love the design of the g2 and don't want to hide the metallic trim on the front. If any of you installed the clear skin, was a hair drier required, and what are the chances of water damaging my phone since i have to use water to apply the skin.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] beangraff:
So I'm about 2 months in and the edges where the small tabs are starting to peel away I'm not sure what to do. I really like the look but its quite annoying pushing the corners down every time I take it out of my pocket.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ok11:
I was wondering if there's anyway to order from Canada? Any resellers or even from the official website? Based on searching their site, it doesnt seem to ship here.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Lazy361:
Just received and installed my 2 skinz for 2 g2s. I was nervous to install but it went okay. Lighter definetly helped. I am still nervous about the small corner tabs as somone pointed out earlier...but ill cross that bridge when I get there. Great product. Love the look. Customer service is top notch! Ill keep u guys posted.

Black and white carbon fibers
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mr.boonet:
Hi,

yesterday i got my phantomskinz in the mail, and I was super excited... I installed the cromatics and it look awesome... Installing it went kinda smooth, I'm only scared about the little corner tabs when i go over them. I just hope it stays in place.

Next i installed the screenprotector wich wasnt to hard to do, but now it looks HORRIBLE. I left it to dry over the night. But it already has a LOT of scratches due to the application tool I think.. Is this normal? It also has got a lot of dirt type thing under it, but i didnt let it touch any dry surface and stuff. Can this dirty look be because of the water i'm using? I forgot the drop of johnsons soap tho. But what bothers me the most is that the screenprotector get scratches from the application tool? wtf is that all about....

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mr.boonet:
PLLSSSSS no one answering? The screenprotector isnt getting better, could it be a faulty one and should i just put on the other, or is there somethingwrong with how i applied it...

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ad505:
Looks like this is a situation where you have to think for yourself.. maybe contact customer support?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mr.boonet:
Hmmm yeah, i think its just not what i expect from a screensaver... ive used screensavers from brando, dry application and they were les rubbery, harder and not as easy to scratch... think im just going to go back to that....

I reaaaaally dig the skin tho and its sticking really good.... i recommend it to anyone, dont doubt just buy it you wont be disappointed!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cdrk:
What you can try next time is to use a piece of cloth and fold it around the application tool, then use the tool on the screen protector. That's how I did it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mr.boonet:
yeah done that the second time, but still scratches came pretty quick, i was able to scratch it with my nail... well i guess i just look for another one, because theres again a lot of dirt trapped under it, i think its due to the high CaCO3 in my homes water, idk how to say it in english ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] beangraff:
Probably calcium and minerals in the water... I found that if you apply the tool too hard you will get slight strech marks in the screenprotector. I have since gone with a protective case I fear my investment will not be protected enough with just the skins. Not to mention the corner tabs dried up and cracked off. Not a bad skin but dont count on it lasting more than 3 or 4 months.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] PlatinumMOTO:
@Guru

do you have any retail locations in St. Louis, MO area I bought your skin for my G1 and applied it long ago it still looks good but the menu button piece keeps coming off. I would like a pro to do it if you can direct me.

Any retailers in Chicago? I hate applying these myself.

Also, Is the platinum Carbon Fiber still available? I couldn't find it listed online.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kevinballer08:
Some of my tabs are peeling off and not sticking anymore so I had to rip them off! =[

I've also have some parts of the skin where it's not just sticking down and is prone to peeling off.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] imaleecher:
The skin looks good but there seems to be too many cuts. The black skin hides it pretty well but on white, the flow of the color doesn't look right.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] foshucka:
Ive had this skin for a while and can confirm that the corner tabs do and will catch on something/ peel. I had to cut mine off, other than that it still looks and feels great.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] meepmopmop:
I've had it on for about a week now. It felt weird at first..but I got used to it. Loving the feel of the material. Feels like..carbon fiber :).

Have the same problem on my Infiniti. Talked to dealer they told me to bring it in and they would show me how to get it to work. Evidently, there are more than one setting within the computer on the Car side. So, maybe talk to the dealer about this.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickopick:
Hey guys, I got some questions.. Someone told me that for 90$ HTC would replace my Slide & give me a new one. The questions are:

will they replace it anywhere in the world?

will they replace it even if I lost the original accesories?

will they replace it even if it's not in good conditions?

where do I gotta ask for the replacement phone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
HTC or even T-Mobile will replace free if its still under warranty. If not then maybe you have to pay to get it replaced/fixed. As far as condition... Is the screen messed up? Scratches don't matter. If its scratched up then they'll still replace it. But if its cracked then that's on you.

Thanks for answering.. The screen isn't cracked, OH but the screen is kinda separated from the keyboard (can still perfectly slide, everything works, but it has a gap between the top middle and the bottom middle), another problem's that I live in Paraguay (south americ, no T-mo or official HTC stores here, I bought this phone on a trip to the US).. How can I contact HTC and find out more about a replacement phone? And how do I know if it still has warranty?:/.. OH, and will they replace it even if I don't have the original accessories?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I think warranty is like 6 months. you have to call T-Mobile. They will give you a new phone. It doesn't matter if you have accessories or not because they will trade just the phone itself. No battery, battery cover or accessories. the just want the phone.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brent372:
So my boss finally decided it was time for me to have a company phone.

He has a ATT plan, so he went and got himself and iPhone4 and I got his used Tilt2.

So now I have 2 rhodiums !!!

:p hehe nice...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jcterry:
Twenty bucks says he will want his Tilt2 back after about two weeks.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brent372:
Too bad for him if he does.

It is interesting to see all the differences between the two devices, especially software-wise.

I will me making a ServicePack2 for my icon set shortly as I have already found several icons in the ATT ROM that aren't in the VZW ROM that need to be replaced.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Maybe some new stuff for TF3D 2.1 coming up?:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brent372:
I doubt it. Why are you still on TF3D 2.1?

Upgrade to the new ROM..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
No thanks. Too many issues and Sense 2.5 is a memory hog. TF3D runs so much smoother.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brent372:
Honestly, the ATT 2.5 ROM is much less of a memory hog than the VZW 2.5 ROM is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Still, I follow all the new AT$T ROM threads in here and see lots of problems. I like the messaging client I have now and thanks to yours and others mods I have my phone just how I want it. About the only thing Sense 2.5 has that I would like is the shortcuts on the Home page.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brent372:
Are you using one of my 2.1 sliders?

Using the guide from uncloker for mytouch slide 3g

STEP 6:

Unplugged phone and got into bootloader.

Wait a second or two and see that some images are loaded but esprimg and two or one above it aint loaded.

What's wrong?

Is 4 supposed to be there? maybe its supposed to be 0755? Why not give it full access 0777?

Copied line and pasted into console directly. It returned the same within second and it didnt look like something was loading or anything.

So what is wrong?

I just checked sd card and esprimg.zip is there. also there is update.zip and stock slide rooted rom from a guide.

Hey guys,

I need some help getting back to stock ROM. I had Bionix before, and I tried to upgrade Bionix I think without disabling lagfix. I tried to flash back to stock, after reformatting internal and external cards and Odin reports everything went fine, but I can see one error "Data wipe failed".

The phone boots to the standard Tmo jingle and the softkeys are always lit, but the display seems to be off.

ADB can't find the device.

Is it bricked for good or is there still some hope? Any insight, tip, link, advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oc3rulz:
your not bricked, I am having the EXACT SAME ISSUE! you can just re-flash Bionix and even though it tells you it fails it will reboot into Bionix! However I can't get the stock rom to work WTH!! I have even tried my nandroid backups! I am lost but I can get back to Bionix so not all is lost.

*edit sorry* I had disabled my lagfix, I was just trying to flash back to stock. he tells you how to fix it in the thread.

Thank You

Thank god that one of the best android phones ever is able to be rooted. If the G2 was not able to be rooted, i think that that would just be going against the whole "open source" theme that android is going for ,.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Um, hate to tell you, but HTC and T-Mobile have pretty clearly demonstrated their stance of Free Open Source Software. The whole idea of locking us out goes against the spirit of Linux and Open Source. They are taking the work of others, and using it to turn a profit, screw the user in the process.

My G2 goes back this week. **** you T-Mobile, you just gained another b-stock G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtc442:

[G2 and Desire Z General] cdw9800:
give it time the vibrant is a nice phone no doubt but the g2 will have way more support for one being HTC and two being stock so being able to mod things for the g2 willsorta be how the nexus one is..which has great support who knows g2 might have 3.0 before samsung has 2.2 lol dont quot me either way you have a great phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtc442:
I understand, believe me. But I got this phone for its speed, which it def has, its support, being HTC, and the root ability, which is not here, yet at least. I need tether, bad. I hate the vibrant, but its so easily rootable. And I have tether. Had sprint and the evo. Left it for this phone. No regrets other than the crap they pulled on this phone. I wanted the hspa speeds, the vibrant I had right before this one, got almost the same speeds. So why not go back?

Hate to tell you, but the bug referenced is not a bug-as-in-a-hole-to-be-exploited. It's a bug in behavior, where changes to /system are thought to be successful by linux but actually aren't. Instead of getting a this-is-read-only error, the write appears to go through. And when the cache is flushed or when the phone is restarted it's apparent that nothing was written at all.

That said, work is still underway.

[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
So...the standard Google voice is terrible. I start hunting around and run into SVOX. Epic is still 2.1 right now so I'm told to download TTS Service Extended. I follow the indtructions I get from here:

http://svoxmobilevoices.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/how-to-use/

But..no good. Any ideas folks?

Anyone else despise that stock nav voice?

Yep. I have that installed and engine selected. Still not working.

The voic is amzingly realistic and sounds 100x better than the standard easily. If I could just get it going properly.
[Epic 4G General] JWouters:
How to use updated as follows (note the troubleshooting hint to go back and forth between Pico and Classic):

Install free Classic Text-To-Speech engine

Install a Mobile Voice, such as US English, German, Mandarin, ...

On Android 2.2 goto Settings -> Voice input & output -> Text-to-speech settings

On Android 2.1 and earlier install the free TTS Service Extended App and open TTS Service Extended

Enable Svox Classic TTS engine at the bottom of the screen

Go to Default Engine and select Svox Classic TTS

Go to Default Language and select the language for which you have purchased a voice

Click on "Listen to a preview" to hear a short greeting.

If the voice you hear is not the voice you purchased, try the following: select Pico again as default engine and play a preview, then again select Svox Classic as default engine and play a preview

Uncheck "Override App Settings"

Open an app such as TalkToMe or uNote, enter a text and enjoy your new Mobile Voice reading it aloud
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
well it is only $2 so I tried it out, and I am also having problems trying to make it the default voice for Nav..etc it just will not do it. I have dl all the apps that the programs wants for proper operations but it is still a no go.

I followed the instruction on the www and also from the above post of JW and still no replacement of stock voice.

will keep working on it heck maybe it is not meant for nav replacement eventhough it say it will do that.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
No. It is. I have read about others having the same issues. Apparently froyo 2.2 fixes the problem. Since it was only 2 bucks I decided to wait until 2.2 hits before digging deeper.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
Yea I was thinking the same, must be a 2.1 thing and 2.2 should make it work, since some of the people that got it working have Evo's.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
The standard voice is just terrible compared to SVOX though. Froyo can't come soon enough for me
[Epic 4G General] billooj:
Same issue.. not able to replace Pico TTS by SVOX for Google NAV...

Moto Defy Android 2.1 in French

- TTS Service Extended App

- SVOX Classic text to speech

- Configuration as described on svoxmobilevoices(dot)wordpress(dot)com/how-to-use

Should be 2.1 issue in Android settings for Voice synthesis, but don't understand why TTS service extended does not succeed to force the setting..

I've read about some potential locale settings issues compare to language selected in TTS Extended (I mean settings specific for countries and languages in the phone compare to TTS extended settings)...

Does someone know something about that point ?
