No need. The glass is of a tougher kind than ordinary glass. Same with iPhone 4. Except, HD mini has the soft plastic cover around the edges to protect it from easily breaking when hit on the edge. Solving the major iPhone 4 weakness.

The glass is tough. So it won't scratch with things that can usually scratch ordinary glass. If you accidentally hit it with some hard metal object, or scratch it with Wolverine's claw, it will certainly break whether you have protector or not.
[HD Mini General] alpadolmeri:
I tried several screen protectors but everyone give me troubles with proximity sensor during phone call, infact during a call the phone became black even if the phone is far from my ears ! Anybody with same problem ?
[HD Mini General] schlund:
definitely NOT, had a HD2 before with the same kind of display and wasnt able to scratch it.
[HD7 General] Spinstorm:
I have ordered 2 high capacity batteries for my new HTC HD7 and DHD.

They are simply higher capacity batteries but not made by HTC.

The Desire HD battery is 1600mah (standard is 1230mah) and

The HD7 battery is 1500mah (standard is 1230mah)

My DHD is aweful with its standard battery - I won't even touch it once in the day and after 6 hours it will only have 1/4 left of battery!

The HD7 is much better and seems to last the whole day with call and text use but it is always on its last legs towards the end of the day - I imagine that these batteries will offer at least another 2 hours of good use a day to these phones.

My question really lies in the safety of these batteries... they are not HTC batteries - they are made by some oem somewhere in china I would guess and I don't know if they are likely to leak and damage my phone or not with extensive use. Does anyone have any actual experience with such batteries on their phones?

I did actually buy 2 spare oem batteries for my Nexus One from eBay and have never had problems with them however I have never used them for a sustained period so I don't know for sure...
[HD7 General] mikexmayhem:
i am also interested in this. ive seen a few 1500mah batteries on ebay. but my concern is if they are really 1500mah. they could just throw a sticker on there that says so.

as for safety, as long as the batteries output is equal to that of the stock hd7 battery i dont see why there would be a problem

you'll have to let us know how they work when you get em. i might end up just getting one here pretty soon though
[HD7 General] yly3:
It's not recomended and it is risky.Those batteries can really damage your phone and in some extreme cases you can even lose your warranty.You can find this hot topic in various forums, I read a Blackberry user buying one and after 3 months working presumly better the battery started to literally mealt, ouch ! (could have been a bigger ouch btw lol). I'd wait for an extended battery but I'm new to the world of HTC and don't know how they would react. Nokia in 2006 launched a program which replaced some particular batteries and delivered increased cappacity back.

OR buy a 2nd original battery. It's the safest decision and 2460 is still better than 1500 :)
[HD7 General] phenixdragon:
I bought a battery like this for my Treo 700wx. Worked great for awhile and than it started to die really fast. I put back the stock battery and it would even start to die on my pretty quickly. After that, I never would buy another extended battery. Seems hit or miss but just wouldn't trust it again.
[HD7 General] yly3:
^ Exactly. Forgot to add that their cycle life is a lot shorter. While with an genuine one you could go even for years, for an extended one you should expect 6-7 months at best.
[HD7 General] dphdesirehd:
Don't buy these batteries. They all look the same and I'm guessing originate from the same supplier. I bought one and it didn't fit quite right, and I worked out the label was misaligned, so I peeled back the label to line it up and low and behold the battery itself said 900mah despite being labelled 1500mah and "replacement for desire hd".

Blatantly trying to rip off users who are desperately trying to get a little better battery life, ironically they are actually getting a lower capacity battery! Beware! Also note, I've had my hd for a month now and the battery life has improved hugely, I always get a full day now! Although its in power save mode by bed time. I have though invested in an external 5000mah portable battery charger for use when I know I'll be away from mains or usb, a much safer option.

Cheers!

Ps this is by far the best smart phone I've owned, iPhone, blackberry storm, palm not a bit as good as this, wish it could deal with outlook meeting requests though, ie accept, reject, send...only fault, and I can live with it for how amazingly it does everything else.

[Epic 4G General] genewildershair:
I recently added wifi tethering to my rooted Epic, and all works fine when connecting using a pc, or ipod, but for some odd reason I cannot get another Android phone, (have tried an Evo, and LG) to connect, or even find my tethering network. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
It's just the nature of the beast from what I'm told. Both my friend and I (he has a fascinate) are using the newest wifi tether (pre14 I believe) and neither of us can see the others network.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Its possible..replace the wpa_suplicant in the /system/bin with the one I'm gonna attach (remove the .rar extension)..make sure to keep a backup of the original...you will need to remount for read/write using Root Explorer or Terminal.

Now you will be able to see Ad-Hoc wifi networks...Ive only tested this on DK17 but it probably will work on the others as well.

Some networks if you see it get stuck ad "Obtaining an IP", then you gotta setup a static IP on both clients.
[Android Apps and Games] corruptfate:
Is there any app, thats like the apple alarm clock that can kill tasks after a certain time or stop music? Reason im asking is because I like to listen to music before going to sleep and want it to shut off automatically. Or maybe is there an app that turns off your phone after a timer ends?

Thanks in Advance

Hi all,

I have a desktop cradle which i use in the office and the otterbox commuter case which i use daily.

i have gotten my desktop dock from here.

http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380267286428&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

i am satisfied with the dock but i am finding it annoying to have to remove my otterbox case everytime i want to charge/sync.

is there a dock/cradle out there which can do the same without the need to remove the case?

I am aware of Desk Genie non slip charging desk stand but i read somewhere that it does not sync. (can anyone confirm this?)

any other recommendations are greatly welcomed.
[HD2 Accessories] ymtan:
has any one tried this

http://www.netimes.com/shop/angne-d...tc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2533.html?cPath=80_731

or this

http://www.netimes.com/shop/non-sli...p-2384.html?cPath=445_720&number_of_uploads=0

any feedback or help would be appreciated
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
The desk genie for me was a bit of wasted purchase:

The phone just slips off it. I think the reason is that the shiny battery-cover just won't grip, as heavier items, such as a digital camera/old WM phone stick to it like a charm. I put sticky brown tape all over the back of my phnoe and it was slightly better, but on the whole I'd say it's a don't-buy.

re: Syncing, it's a bit stupid. You plug a mini-usb into the back of the unit, and then a small power-lead with a micro attachment also comes out of the back as a charge = no syncing. As the device does have a USB hub, you can run another cable from a USB port to the phone, but overall it's a bit messy. One of those tiny mini-USB cables would do it (the 6cm long ones), but overall you still end up with a cable sticking out the side.
[HD2 Accessories] ymtan:
Thanks for replying...

i was almost gonna one of these...

which is a cheaper alternative to the desk genie...

have you tried it with case on??

as that is my concern as i do not wanna remove my cases all the time i wanna use a dock
[HD2 Accessories] smeddy:
I don't blame the Genie, I blame it on the HD2's too-friction-less back. Heavier, bulkier items (such as your typical Panasonic digicam) stuck to it like a charm (I note I already said that, but hey, worth repeating). I do not have other covers to hand to test it, but I do keep my phone in a fake-leather walleet (off eBay, love it), and the phone - despite being a lot heaver due to the wallet - does stick to the Genie, so I do reckon other covers will stick quite well.

If I can test others i will report back.
[HD2 Accessories] herlek:
I don't agree. Its a fact that it wont grip especially when one uses a silicon case. But I've placed 2 pins just beneath the rubber so it will always hold the phone. I am using it now for some time.:)
[HD2 Accessories] ciubeca:
I have it and works nice

- without case

- with leather (flip) case

- with solicon case (soft)

- with hard plastic case
[HD2 Accessories] ymtan:
Thanks for your info.

will probably get this to try seeing it is not as expensive as desk genie

So I installeed tnt2.02, that was easy, but I still dont see a lot of apps, like nook or kindle in market. Am I missing a step after installing tnt 2.02 to get there?

Edit/Answer:

Thanks for the post directing me to the thread where roebeet explained how to do this, and thanks for roebeet explaining this, worked great!

For those of you who missed this part, after installing tnt 2.0.2, to get the market going follow the instructions roebeet posted at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845175

Repeated here for convenience:
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
You need to apply the market hack: see roebeet's original post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842004

and scroll down to "what did you change?". Even I could do it on first trial so it's really easy :-)

Good luck!

I'm having the same issue, fix didn't work either.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
Much has been written on this topic; in short, the g-tablet won't get full access to the market since it has no (phone) radio. Maybe the situation would improve with gingerbread?
[G Tablet General] flipper9:
The hack works. I've done it many times on different roms. Just follow the steps exactly. Then you'll get the full market.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
x2. Sometimes you have to do it more than once. On my second tab, I had to do it twice before it worked. Why? No idea.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
X3 works for me. Make sure you get the error message first. That's how I know it works. I perform a reboot after that.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
The hack works, I had done the same hack on the emulator I had running of Android on my PC and had access to the market.

Remember still though that the build.prop has test.keys in it instead of release.keys and some apps will not show up for test.keys.

Overall though...the Market hack will open up the market completely (minus the few exceptions)

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] e-yac:
It's called LatinImeGoogle.apk.

Here it is.

If that one doesn't work for you(some people say it doesn't, but it did for me) try the LatinIME.apk.

Alright, I decided to try this for myself, and after trying both of these, and half a dozen other methods, I cannot seem to get it to work on this ROM, either.

Hopefully someone more informed than myself(shouldn't be very hard to find one of them) will come along and help us both out.

Extract framework-res.apk and services.jar to your ADB folder

Ensure Streak is powered on and USB debug is enabled

Use the following commands to copy to your Streak

ADB remount

ADB push framework-res.apk /system/framework

ADB push services.jar /system/framework

ADB reboot

OR

Download transparentbar146cw.zip and install with clockwork recovery.

Changes

White carrier and white notifications thanks to Odyseus

bugs

3rd party launchers show black bar with regular wallpapers -> workaround is to disable notification bar through 3rd party launcher or use stage ui

gmail/email accounts need to be reconfigured
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] quikt:
The notification window is now fixed and transparent. The only problem left is using regular wallpapers. a black bar will appear after switching wallpaper and pulling notification bar down. ive seen this happening to others roms and have not pinpointed a resolution yet. using live wallpaper works fine.

EDIT 2x: Ok so the regular wallpaper issue only affects 3rd party launchers. Using Stage UI it works fine. Using Launcher Pro it has a black bar at top after switching to a regular wallpaper. Cannot test ADW as I do not have.

EDIT 3x: Found that disabling notification bar in Launcher Pro fixes the black bar at top. To disable, press menu button, press preferences, press appearance settings, press hide notification bar. To see notification bar again and pull drop down, simply press menu button on home screen and it will appear.

Is there an easy way to fix this issue? Has anyone experienced this before with this phone or another Droid?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoSicWiTiT:
make sure your epst settings are correct
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
How would I know they're correct?

Funny that you bring this up, cos' I had to reflash my phone to the Eris Official ROM 1.0 in order to have access to the EPST by dialing ##778 on my Eris.

Well, going back to my question, how would I be able to determine if they are correct? Is there a list I need to follow?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Upgraded from the $45 dollar plan to the Android Plan, did the *228 to receive the updates, went into EPST on the Eris and switched the Verizon settings to Mycricket and am able to use the browsers with no problem, but cannot connect to the internet using any app on the phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
Strange.

Either you missed something in PST (you can take screenshots and send me each screen, if you want, and I'll check it out for you)

or you have your phone flashed with the Cricket Web/MMS flash. You should uninstall Autostart if this is the case.

*228 typically won't work, so that's good for you that it worked. I would look for and use 32100.prl or 30700.prl or 42100.prl. If you do ##778 and go to PRL, what # is your current PRL?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertVanHagar:
Well, that's not a problem anymore since I'm on the Cricket Android plan. Thank you for your help though.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
My phone stopped vibrating on notifications and incoming calls for some reason. So did my brothers at the same time. It'll still vibrates on screen unlock and haptic feedback. I have my e-mail set to vibrate only, sometime it'll vibrate, but more often than not, it wont. But never for notifications or calls. And yes i checked all the settings i could. (That i know of)

It first started when we switched to aosp mod from cm 6.1. So I tried flashing back to cm6.1(jaybob version) hoping it would fix, but it didn't. Yes, I did all the full wipes and everything. I really don't wanna RUU to see if its the phone or just the roms. I mean, it happened to my brothers phone at the same time, that can't just be coincidence.

Has anyone else seen this? or know what iI can try before I RUU?
