Its really not scratch proof. I had the Zagg screen protector and the rubbery feel sucked. I was rocking au natural for a while and got a little scratch accidently putting my car keys in the pocket with my phone. Had to get my phone replaced and ought an otterbox at the same time and the screen protector that comes with it works great. Nice smooth feel and I used the installation solution from the Zagg to put it on bubble free.

Actually I have an extra Zagg because they replaced it for free when I had to return my phone, so thats my backup.
[EVO 4G General] midaseris:
As far as a glass feel I really like the Seido ultimate, also a two pack on Amazon is roughly $10. So far these have been the closest to a naked feel I've found...just throwing it out as no one had mentioned them yet.
[EVO 4G General] scottndville:
Fart knocker, I cant stop laughing. Its been a while since I've heard that one... Thanks a million.
[EVO 4G General] rdwing:
Scratch resistant I think vs. scratch proof.

I run it nekkid!
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-STEINHEIL-Sprint-Protector-Fingerprint/dp/B003TMH752 has favorable reviews with some complaints that the anti-glare effect distorts sharpness, generally I'm ok with this tradeoff if it's minor & I'm assuming you don't find it an issue? What case did you go with after that drop? :eek:

Your workplace sounds pretty harsh, hope the second screen protector would last longer than a few months (& that they keep their workers safe!), I've used Power Support Protective Films in past with lasting AF-AG-AS results..
[EVO 4G General] chaoszepp:
I actually bought one called realook. I have to say it was very easy to install, and the smoothness feels incredible. It actually feels and looks like I have nothing on it! I was about to go for the steinheil but then after I started reading some great things about the feel of realook. For 10 dollars I can say I'm very satisfied.
[EVO 4G General] tonyz2897:
To me, the reduction in sharpness only becomes noticeable when I hold the phone much closer to my eyes than I would during normal use. At normal viewing distance, it seems fine. I ended up going with a Seidio Innocase Active. Got the belt clip holster too, so now it's protected and I don't have to worry about it slipping out of my shirt pocket again.:)

The job is pretty rough, but it pays well and safety is a top priority. I'm really not going to complain about short life out of cases and screen protectors in this kind of environment as long as they keep the phone free from damage. Besides, it gives me a legitimate excuse to try new stuff.:D
[EVO 4G General] netstat_EVO:
My personal favorite so far has been the one that came with my OtterBox Commuter case.

It had a few scratches so I removed it and applied one of the ones that are Sprint branded at the local Sprint store... No so happy with it.

I looked on OtterBox's web site to see if they sold the screen protector separately so I didn't have to waste the money on a whole new case setup, but their answer was to contact customer service and try and get it replaced under warranty.

Does anyone know who actually makes their screen protectors? I really liked the fact that it fit the entire glass perfectly edge to edge.
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
The seido crystal clear worked great for me before I had to get my EVO replaced for an odd overheating issue. I tried the Amzer product that looked pretty similar to the Seidio after that but it didn't stick for crap and I've ended up just using my EVO nude since then. My screen is pretty much pristine, and you can't beat the responsiveness and finger glide of using the raw glass.
[EVO 4G General] netstat_EVO:
Otterbox is the best. I emailed customer service to find out how to get a new screen protector, two emails and a hour and a half later... the are fedexing me a new one free.

The PDF they sent with the confirmation email actually looks like they are sending a whole new case, but there is no way I am that lucky lol :)
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I laughed pretty hard at work when I read "Fart knocker". I think something is wrong with me, I've purchased 3 diff zagg shields for my phone at 25 bucks a pop and ended up peeling all 3 off lol. I hate the way they feel, I think they make my screen less response, and they start to Peel.
[EVO 4G General] netstat_EVO:
Confirmed :)

Received yesterday.

They sent me a whole new commuter case just because I scratched my screen protector :)

Otterbox = best company ever.
[Fascinate General] mindtrip1016:
Did anyone get a white Fascinate today from Best Buy? I preordered last week and they were said to be available today, 10/24/2010. When I went to pick it up this evening, the sales associate said they were not available. Did anyone else hear the same story?
[Fascinate General] MrKows:
I was there today and they only had the dummy one on display

Swyped via Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] mindtrip1016:
We didn't even have the dummy available here (South of Nashville). The associate did verify the shipment would arrive via FedEx, but could not confirm an exact date.
[Fascinate General] mackeydesigns:
I just bought an extra back plate, going to take my current one and paint it. I know I'm missing part of the Bezel, but if the complete front side face isn't white (like the iPhone) then what's the point of marketing a white phone?
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
I have one of them awesome rubber/silicone backs on my fascinate...

I can't see it anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_irishman:
Hi,

I have had my Samsung i9000 for about 2 months now and really like it, I think its a great phone...

I just made a call about an hour ago and noticed that when I pressed the call button to make the call, and heard the call/ring tone, it sounded very distorted (as if the speaker was buzzing? but distortion decribes it better).

I have made a few calls since then to check this and its happening all the time during calls now....

Whats weird is that when I play an mp3 & put it on loudspeaker, the sound is perfectly clear??

Does anyone have this "incall distortion" problem or experience it before?

Are there any know fixes for this?

Really appreciate all comments/help with this folks...

Thanks

Dave
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_irishman:
Bump... Still have this problem folks, can anyone help me out here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samga:
Had this with a new SGS and got it changed (within the 14 days period).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailerr:
Yep, been contemplating sending it to samsung, complaints my voice is unclear too.

The earpiece noise I believe is from the antenna, faulty shielding perhaps.

Hi

Anyone know how to animate the weather on the main page.

e.g on the desire when you go to the home page if It's raining there will be raindrops on ur page , sin for sunny weather snow for snowy weather etc...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] cioconebunu:
You need to install beautiful widgets.
[Vibrant General] rmp5s:
I just flashed bionix 1.9 ocuv w/ voodoo and it's pretty awesome except that nothing can get superuser now. Worked fine a couple times, now superuser crashes if anything tries to get permission or if I click the "super user" thing in the app list. Anyone have any idea what's up?
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
Haven't heard about or experienced this problem before. I was using Bionix 1.9 and am now on Fusion 1.1. Both have been really great, stable ROMs and are reflective of the quality, performance, and customer responsitiveness standard that Samsung should strive to meet in their future ROM releases.

It you are still having the problem after rebooting, perhaps redownloading and reflashing Bionix will help. I know it goes without saying, but be sure to disable voodoo first.

Edit: I will add, that I first tried a OCUV kernal and my machine kept having random FCs after running for some period of time. Since moving back to a non-OCUV kernal, Bionix has been great and stable for me.

Good luck!
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Try running a "Fix Permissions" in RomManager, and then reboot, if it gripes about root access, open SuperUser first, hit the home button then open RM and run fix permissions ...

Hope that helps, only happened to me once but that is what fixed it ...
[Vibrant General] rmp5s:
I ended up downloading a SuperUser app from the market and installing it and it's been fine since. Kind of a strange problem but hey...whatever. lol Everything is fine right now and my phone is running like a top. Love it!!

Thanks guys!!
[Vibrant General] bdubs4200:
Im running the same without voodoo and have never had the problem with su. Is fusion much different than 1.9 FINALE? What is different?

VibranT Bionix
[Vibrant General] martin0641:
Fusion 1.1 removes TouchWiz stuff, and uses LauncherPro instead. It is MUCH faster, has better battery life, and people are Flashing the JI6 modem over the JI2 and posting over 24 hours of battery life with moderate usage.

Some don't even use a LagFix with Fusion.
[Vibrant General] bdubs4200:
Well I went with fusion from Bionix 1.9 and yes its just a tinch better don't know if it was worth losing my killer adw set up but I am addicted to flashin ROMs x) and am I in the clear to delete the 1.9 file now? And vibrant9 ha ha
[Vibrant General] Anthony B:
I'm using bionix 1.9, I tried fusion but for some reason the gps was way off. I might give it a shot again, who knows.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Could anyone point me to the correct tutorial to root your HTC Touch Pro 2 ?

I'v been reading up on the android builds past few days. I'm totally new to this.

I got android to work with the project android build. And i want to use Whatsapp.

But it won't let me open Whatsapp. 3rd party task manager is killing it. So i guess its ATK ? But i can't just uninstall it trough settings>applications etc. Same trough android market. I read somewhere you'd have to root it then. But i don't know how. Any help would be appreciated alot !!!.

If i'm not suppose to post this, because i haven't looked or w/e, fine delete this. But i did look. And if been reading alot of topics and iv seen alot of flaming just because of asking a question. might have been a stupid one, but still, people just want some help. Why not help out ? We all start somewhere. And im starting right here. haha.

Oh and if im totally off map by saying rooting, let me know how i can get whatsapp to work. Iv seen it works for others so im just waiting to fix mine. haha.

Anyway, great job on the forum and great builds for TP2.

Peace,

from the spacestronaut.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
It is already rooted. Next time spend some time reading
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
well you didnt search enough nor read enough...and i started by reading and searching (only 2 posts in first year as member)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Like i said before, i did search the past few days, and i did read, but its not like theres a topic out there called "TP2 rooting". Or "how to get rid of preinstalled apps". So cool it. And help me out. That would be greatly appreciated it. i knew i shouldn't expect a mature response...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well that's the problem, XDAndroid is rooted - but don't expect every app that works on native Android phones to work on these - this isn't exactly an approved or sanctioned port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
im not using the XDandroid build, im using the project android build. And i read somewhere in order for whatsapp to be working you need to get rid of ATK by rooting your phone and then get rid of the app (ATK). So, some are saying it should be rooted. And it's not like no one is running whatsapp on a HTC android mod. it should be working. but i can't seem to get rid of ATK. iv read other could just get rid of it trough settings>applications but i can only delete the updates. Please some real anwsers instead of saying things i allready know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] the-nj:
Hey,

first of all welcome to the xda-developers forum...

like u and i guess everyone i hate answers like some of the ones you got..

i think a froum is made to ask questiuons however that might be about...

and it took me month back in my old htc kaiser days to get the whole android thing.

so when you want to install apps that are not from the store then u have to check one checkbox first.

ull find it under settings->applications-> and there should be a checkbox that says unsigned apps or untrusted apps...something like that.

normally this page should pop up if u click on a app that u have on the sd card...

i hope that is what u asked for...

and the phone is already rooted whatever build u are using

and if u have any questions but dont want to ask them in the forum cuz u might think that u get answers that dont suit ure question just pm me

nick
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Hi, i appreciate your response. Thanks alot.

So it's allready rooted. Ok cool. Let me explain. I want to use Whatsapp. But when i open it, i get the 3rd party task manager is blocking it. And im guessing its the ATK. but i can't get rid of it. I know how to install unsigned and untrusted apps. But now i want to get rid of it. haha. Anyway, i shoot you a message maybe tomorrow to explain more i guess. A mod can close this, as i proberly won't get a straight answers anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Do you even know what you're talking about? ATK hasn't been included in any builds for a while, and what do you mean you're not using XDAndroid you're using the "project android build" - this makes me think you have NO clue what you're talking about. Please, prove me wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Your right, i don't know, that's why im asking... smh at the ignorance at this forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] the-nj:
hey,

ok now i got what ure asking...

so then it is important what method u are using? do you have a system.ext2 file that you load with haret?

or do you have a partioned sd card with the android system on a ext2 partition.

when you have the whole system in a system.ext2 file you would need to unpack it, delete the .apk of the app, and then pack it into a .ext2 file again...

when you have the second method that just browse into the folder system/apps/ and delete the file...

that should work for every normal app but it is not easy to do it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well you certainly answered my questions with a confidence only stupidity can be responsible for.

FYI, there's a difference between ignorance & stupidity. Ignorant people just don't know. Stupid people know, but are willingly ignorant. You have all the information available to, yet you insist on being ignorant.

It's OK to ask questions - but if it has been answered before, answering the same questions over and over again gets old. So some of us will respond a little less amicably than others - 9 times out of 10, this was because the OP didn't do their due diligence.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
I just sent you a pm. i don't load anything, i start winmo, open up, project android, hit boot, android starts... that's all i do. i don't have a system.ext2 file on my sd. if this method is "wrong" or dated, let me know where to get the newest build. seems like that is the problem ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] the-nj:
hm...so you have to have some files that are behind that...

and i would think that you have a system.ext2 file somewhere...

should be in the andboot folder on your sd card.

but in builds that are used now here that task manager you want to get rid of isnt used anymore...so i would suggest just try the xdandroid build and kernels or the neopeek version which is very fast and you have all files on a spare partition on your sd card.

if you want to get started with the neopeek build just check neopeek.com and then the forum. there are all the build he has developed and instructions how to install. if u have any questions about that just let me know...

i guess art your point it would be the easiest to switch to another build

nick
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Listen, i understand your point of view. Iv been reading up on alot of threads in the Touch Pro 2 section. And i saw alot of normal questions being asked. And there was alot of flaming just because of those questions. That's disrespect in my opinion. Because you guys now, just point a newb to the right place. I mean it's not that hard... or is it ? Believe i do understand it though. But it doesnt hurt to be a bit more helpfull. Im willing to learn. I signed up because i wanted to participate and learn. That might not have been in my OP but im sure you understand by now, i do want to learn. And to be honest, alot of those frequently asked questions aren't in the provided tutorials or aren't easy findable. Wich makes it totally legit to ask a question. Forgive me for not reading 1000 pages of a thread. I only wanted a quick response to my question. A url to the right place to continue to search for a fix. and to learn. not to piss you guys off. Because it's allready been done about a million times. Again, i do understand your attitude, but give a new guy a chance to learn. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Spacestronaut:
Thanks nick, you the man
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I guess if your whole issue is ATK, then just use a newer build. I don't think ATK has been included in any of the 2.2 builds, but it hasn't been in a build for a while. So I'm guessing your build is old if you still have ATK on there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
its a double-edged sword this kinda thing, because its easy for both sides it is just tedious and requires an abnormal amount of patience which some of us (like myself) have little of to begin with

also there are times, like this, that a noob cant simply be pointed in the right direction

all that said i agree with nick, just use xdandroid for tp2 especially since that is what the people around here are most accustomed to
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bteljuice:
So I am new with the Android world.

I got Blazn up and running, but that's all where I am at lol.

So i see all those extra information that I am not knowledgeable about (not ignorant so people don't start flaming) , so I am going to call myself a NOOB when it comes to Android and learning bit by bit everyday.

So long story short, You guys got WhatsApp up and running properly?

Because I heard back in the 2.1 eclair , WhatsApp was not working correctly.

If working, what alterations have you guys done to make it run (if any needed).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok, after a quick google search I see what it is... why not just use Google Voice? Seems like a much better alternative IMHO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 3sdmx:
I just noticed there is a Kies update available, and when I pluged in my SGS, it said it had an update available, and if I wanted to backup my Phone contacts. So, I was all exited and unrooted my device, uninstalled lagfix, busybox, changed minfree back to default, ... (just to be sure). When I tried to update I got a warning: "Latest version already installed" --'

So, FALSE ALARM(again), don't make my mistake :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] schup:
You can check for new firmware without revering lagfix etc etc. Just uncheck the box to process your phonebook when doing firmware update.

Furthermore, it's not because there is a Kies update (which is global not for Belgium or Netherlands only) there is a new firmware available. I suggest to check XDA or Kies itself before reverting all your modifications for an upgrade...

Hi Peeps,

im struggling to view my sim contacts. I know for a fact that all my contacts are saved to my sim so why wont WP7 allow me to import them?

The option is greyed out. its seriously annoying me...

There must be a way? why is it not working?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] rafter_01:
my HD7 is unlocked and i'm using a T-Mobile sim, do you think this is the reason why i cant import my sim contacts? it cant read my sim or something?
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Try use your old phone to synch them with outlook, then re-import them into your new phone
[Windows Phone 7 General] risq:
Import worked fine for me on a HD7 - very odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Thats very strange.

You tried syncing them with other methods for example outlook?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rafter_01:
im going to try it through GMAIL.

really annoyed though... import sim contacts is greyed out
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
I copied my old contacts from my Blackstone to SIM and then I was able to import from SIM to phone on my Omnia :/ Very odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elysianreaper:
Had some problem, now know why.

I had the same thing happen to me. I would hit the import sim contacts button, it would wurr for a moment then gray out, but no contacts came over. Then I switched sim cards and it worked the very first time. When I examined the two sim cards I realized that one was older and had a slightly larger gold contact area. The older one didn't sync but the newer, narrower one did. If you have an older sim take it into a t-mo store, tell them it's not working right with your phone, get a new one, and have them sync the contacts over to the new sim for you. It should work fine in your phone after that. Enjoy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] olirom:
I´m also having the same problem. I also tried with a reset and also hard reset (Press Vol+ and Vol- while starting) Sim was copied once( with only ahand full of contacts, but second time with all nearly 500 contacts the import sim button was also grey and dead! Please help!

Thanks! OliRom

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcfong2:
Now that Android is close to a very stable reality, I have a choice between booting my HD2 into WinMo or Android (and probably WinPhone 7 shortly). Each OS has its advantages, and that is what makes the HD2 such a versatile device.

However, since my plans would be to boot into WinMo or Android depending on mood, preference, or requirements, there is one thing that would be really helpful...

In each OS instance, I receive my POP/IMAP and/or Exchange mail. The accounts are replicated in both WinMo and Android. It would be nice if there was a "sync" application that either in the background, or on-demand, would synchronize the received/sent folders from WinMo<-->Android in real time. We know we can access both file systems on the HD2. I would assume there'd have to be two separate apps, one running in the active instance (either WinMo or Android).

Anyone have a requirement such as this, and are there any takers for the challenge?

Just presenting food for thought... I can't program worth diddly anymore.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
Doesn't IMAP accomplish that to some extent? It is not synchronized but all activity is mimicked in each client.
