[Nook Color Accessories] big.t_03:
They're not necessarily hard to apply, but if you don't use lint-free wipes and cloths to clean the screen and make sure your hands and such are lint- and dust-free, you will inevitably get lint or dust on the screen (static cling) which will end up under the screen protector. Otherwise, with the screen wiped down with a lint-free wipe or cloth, you can apply the screen protector using a credit/gift card to squeegy out the surface.

(Correct me if I'm wrong, please) Unless you have a special screen protector that is removable/reapplicable, once they're applied, that's it. If you remove it you more than likely will destroy it. So if it's crooked and needs to be re-positioned, plan to have a second one handy.

As for affecting performance: not usually to a noticable extent. I never used my NC before the SP was applied so I can't comment on that. But as for my Vu, after I had my InvisiShield applied, I get phantom taps and double-taps when typing all the time, but I attribute that to the phone being obnoxious/retarded (although, that didn't happen before InvisiShield).

I haven't had an issue with my two applications of the Invisishield - but that's because I take rather.... special.... precautions. I'll only apply the skins in the bathroom after I've fully cleaned the sink area. I'll run the shower on hot and let the room fill with steam, then lay down some fuzz-free towels. I also tend to wear a hat to keep my hair in check and sometimes I'll even go with just an A-shirt.

Yes, this is rather over the top, but since there isn't an Invisishield place near by for a "professional" to install it, I've gotta make due.

In my experience, while the screen protector is still wet its a bit movable, but as you work out the bubbles and it starts to cure, it's stuck there. Removing it isn't too difficult, but the process stretches it to a neigh unusable condition.
[Nook Color Accessories] mrintegrity:
Lol, my G/F being a pharmacy student she has access to a lot of clean room type areas including those ones where you have a glass box with your hands inside gloved openings, was seriously considering taking it there to attach the protector...

[Nook Color Accessories] don_ernesto:
i installed myself one of these in my phone, and i love it. didnt bought one for the NC cause i find it a little bit too reflective, so i ended up buying the one from BN

i recommend three things:

1) go to their website and study their instructions and do as they say

2) be patient... very very patient. you have to leave the gadget off for a day after applying the shield (i know it is tooooooo hard to do) and if you have bubbles (probably will have) they will disappear, but it takes days. the last bubble in my invisibleshield disappeared after 2 weeks of usage, but dont worry, they will disappear. The feeling of the touchscreen will also improve with days, beginning with plastic feel and a little sticky, to an absolute pleasure to your fingers

3) be patient... very very, really patient. If you are not happy the first day, give it at least a couple of weeks

[Nook Color Accessories] tokyomonster:
Yeah, I'm a pro at applying skins like Invisible Shield, Best Skins Ever, etc, that require water and all that..the water also helps the dust from being attracted, but the B&N skin is dry apply/static cling. I did it on my (what I thought was clean) desk, but I guess I was wrong. That's what I get for letting my fiancee have two cats and a dog :(
[Nook Color Accessories] Philosophy757:
I had the exact same thing happen.
[Nook Color Accessories] ricoishere2:
The NC has a gorilla glass screen, like the Samsung galaxy tab, HTC Incredible, Evo, Droid 2, etc. and does not require a screen protector. Yes you can still scratch glass but It's difficult.

It does not look like Damageless is going to further develop his EVO ROM. I've so much enjoyed the great work that was done. Battery life was great and it was very basic.

All good things come to an end, at least thats what I've been told.

I'm asking for suggestions for a ROM I can switch to that might be similar to this one.

Big Thanks!

Hello Guys,

When I try to update a file on my Gtab, wrongly copied files (lib files into framework) and multiplied it with lot of mistakes, now I get the following error on boot (power button + vol up button):

"Magic value mismatch; Critical failure, unable to start Kernal"

Can you guys help me fix this error?

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] P_6:
First off, wrong forum, this should be General...

Second, search for Magic Value Mismatch, this already has a large thread on the issue. Short of it is, you're in for some technical fixes. Always a chance when you stand on the razor.
[G Tablet General] vaelek:
From Sun:

The magic number at offset 0x0 of the flash reserved partition is not correct. Expected value is 0x44494147 or 0xffffffff (erased). This could indicate that some process inadvertently wrote to the diagnostics area. Re-flash the Service Processor and re-test. See the Systems Management Guide for information about how to update the Service Processor.

[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Have you guys ever noticed your phone slowing down as it constantly switches between 3G and 4G? Living in Austin, I probably make the switch a few hundred times a day, depending on what building I'm in, and where my phone is sitting.

There are plenty of times where I pull my phone out of my pocket, and it's very warm, and running horrendously slow. I typically notice the 4G icon, so I disable it altogether. Usually within about 30-60 seconds, my Evo is responsive once again. I have used every stock ROM, and about 6 custom as well. All behave IDENTICALLY.

I really have had only one instance where 4G was useful, and that's when I was at a restuarant, and I wanted to tether my laptop. I was able to get a solid 4G signal, and it seemed to work great. I did find out, however, they had free WIFI, like almost every business does these days.

Not so sure I'm really sold on the 4G stuff, even though almost everywhere I go in Central Texas has good signal. It seems to waste far too much CPU as it switches back and forth, enabling/disabling radios, or whatever. If I'm in Dolphin browser, and it switches radios, the phone appears to lock up sometimes... quite annoying... happens all the time.

Anyone else with similar issues? I know most people aren't even in 4G areas though.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Well in general I noticed this cpu spike on my sense roms even when it was turning 3g back on after leaving a wifi spot. I really blame HTC's inneficient code, since CM6 handles this so much better. I did try 4G out in my area and thought it was better on my cpu than 3g was though.
[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
After you use 4g, you need to reboot your phone. The 4g icon may go away but the phone is going to keep searching for the 4g signal. Known issue/bug. You can ssearch the forums and find lots more info on it. Free app called alogcat will show you this by conintuing to try and connect to winmax.

I live in Austin, too and use the 4g toggle quite a bit, especially closer to town, while at concerts or football games.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
That explains why when I leave 4G on regularly, I have to reboot my phone at least once a day from slowdowns... If I leave 4G off, I tend to last almost a week before I get frustrated enough to reboot.

Really disappoints me, and I was hoping I was an isolated example. I had done several searches for this, and didn't see any results. I guess because not many people have 4G, and those that do probably toggle it on specifically for use when they are in a 4G area. Seems to me that 4G is only useful when you are sitting still... if I am in the car and I leave it on, my phone get sluggish as hell, and my battery can be dead in under an hour.
[EVO 4G General] terrel_b:
I believe the bug only occurs if you have a 4G widget on one of your home screens. You may be able to remove it and turn on via settings as a workaround.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Correct. Don't use the widget to toggle 4g. Go into settings and turn it on that way and you wont get the lag.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
I had a ROM a few weeks ago that didn't even have a 4G toggle... I think it was AOSP. Didn't like it much and came back to Sense-based. No effect on the CPU bogging.
[EVO 4G General] JayStation3:
I live in houston and not in the city, I get this every day....i stopped using 4g a while ago...it'll get better with time though

[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Only turn on 4G when you are actually going to use it than turn it off. Most web tasks do not require 4G and it will improve battery life.
[EVO 4G General] envoykrawkwarrior7:
theres a couple guides out there for editing your 4g in and out times, signal requirements log in delays, ect. those will help big time, and you should be resetting your phone once a day anyway for good usage, also it helps to if your using 4g, turn off the mobile network because its pointless to run both radios at the same time [helpful if you have myns with the data in the notifications menu for easy chaning]
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
Can you confirm that turning off the mobile network from the power-button drop-down menu actually does anything? On my phone, when It detects 4G or WIFI, the 3G icon disappears for a bit, then turns into the new one. That leads me to believe that it automatically does that for us...
[EVO 4G General] fonseca898:
I use 4G every day. I have "mobile data always on" set to on demand, so when I turn on 4G via the Extended Controls widget I use, 3G automatically turns off. Haven't had any phone slow down since I started using this method. When I turn 4G off, 3G automatically restarts, so one or the other is always on. I keep 4G always on at home, and only turn it on while out if I'm watching using large amounts of data.

At some point I made some changes in how long my phone will try to stick with 4G when there's a strong 3G signal, and that helped with streaming music/data while on long drives.
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
The only time you should see CPU usage is when the radios are toggling on, and off. Also when you turn 4G off, yes if you look in logcat you see that WiMAX is doing something but that's about it. IIRC it is checking the status of the 4G radio to see if it is on. The radio is off though, verified by monitoring the current drain in almost real time. The 4G radio draws about 200-300mA itself. The "4G Toggle for EVO" app by Jason Calhoun (see Market) so far has given me the least amount of hassle of the 4G widgets out there, and most of the time I don't have to worry about turning off 4G after a reboot.

On average with my current configuration I draw about 254mA (3G /display @26%/doing nothing), 188mA on WiFi. The lowest I've seen was 89mA (just coming out of sleep), and the highest I was ever to draw was 996mA (everything on, turned up, playing Angry Birds).
[EVO 4G General] a1platnum:
Under 4G settings make sure network notification is unchecked, if not the phone is forever scanning for a signal, especially if you're toggling bad. If you have it unchecked even when you use the widget it will only search the initial time when you turn on the widget. Can't say this will solve the issue, but at least stop the phone from continuously scanning for a signal should help. You can only uncheck network notification while 4G is checked. Hope it helps cause i'm in the centex area also(Waco). It helped for me when told to me by EVO owners.

[EVO 4G General] BlueScreenOfTOM:
I've also noticed my Evo seems really sluggish when 4G is on. Like, to the point that I always leave it off, because it makes my phone barely usable sometimes when it is on, even when I am standing right next to the 4G tower. I read through here and I'm going to try removing the HTC widget for 4G from my home screen, maybe that'll help.
[EVO 4G General] slugbug2010:
But until/unless you reboot the phone, the WiMax continues to check the status of the 4g radio. So that would make the phone sluggish. Even with no toggle on a home screen or any screen, just doing it manually, when turned off it keeps scanning. Right :confused: Thats what alogcat shows until the phone is rebooted.

I have turned off 4g and gone about my business and been fine - went almost 30 hours on one charge and had 4g on for about 2 hours of that, so it may not be a major battery drain amp wise, but it appears to continue to scan even when turned off.
[EVO 4G General] BlueScreenOfTOM:
From a 2-day trial I can definitely say that my phone seems much more responsive since I removed the 4G widget. I replaced all the HTC radio widgets with the stock android one (which, of course, doesn't have 4G) and my phone seems very responsive. At the same time, I turned on 4G via the settings menu and I've left it on. It seems to be working well.

I can either flash back to stock or leave it @ stock Froyo DK28.

What is a fair price to list it for sale? I don't see many in the classifieds section & eBay lists absolutely ridiculous prices.

Thanks in advanced for any input. :D
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
The best way to see a fair market price on eBay is to use an advanced search for completed auctions. That will show the final sales prices, not just the beginning bids. (Most eBay auction action is typically in the final minutes before an auction closes.)

[Epic 4G General] clem4221:
Hey guys I was was flashing up to VIPERS rom after I put the phone back to default and updated to 2.2. Well any way step by step I first did the ONE CLICK ROOT. Then I download the DK28.pit(put pit in the pit section) and I download the modem.bin (and put that in the phone section) and I forgot to uncheck re-partition. I then put the phone in download mode and it finished with no errors. Of course it bricked my phone and the only thing it would do was go into download mode!

I had never bricked my phone before and it was cause of rookie mistakes.. I was reading numerous threads about how to fix a bricked phone and it didn't seem to hard to fix. I downloaded the original firmware SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL(in PDA section) and the pit file that came with it. I attempted to flash it with odin and it keep failing so I looked for a alternative route.

Finally I found a post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732199 and followed the guide to a T and everything finished up just fine.(I just figured it would work because it had all the files in ODIN) And I was positive that everything was going to work just fine! I was planing to just get it up and running and then get the phone back to its original firmware.. But now the phone will not even go into download mode..

P.S. I have tried pulling the sd card out and the battery, and while holding 1 and the power button while trying to put it in download mode(like i had to do previously) and there is no response. Any suggestions?

This is why you READ before you begin dealing with stuff like this.. The modem goes in the PDA section not phone; and if your phone can't boot; or go into download mode.. There is no hope.

Seems like you've truley bricked your phone my friend..
[Epic 4G General] clem4221:
I did read it and it said that I needed to put the modem in the phone section. But good news is I have a new epic waiting at the repair center 4 me to pick up today.. I was practicing on the messed up one so I would do it on this one right.. I have rooted and flashed every phone I have ever had and never had a problem.. The original post I found for odin said to put the modem in the phone section..
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
It is pretty darn hard to brick these, even if you flash incorrectly. Try taking the battery out for 20 minutes and then putting it back in. Should get you to download mode.
[Epic 4G General] randyshear:
I always put modem in phone, pit in pit, and the tar.md5 in pda. Always works.
[Epic 4G General] tehdarkknight:
If you're using the full .tar.md5, there's no need to place the modem.bin in the modem section; there's already a modem inside the .tar.md5.
[Epic 4G General] clem4221:
I am pretty sure its done.. No biggie though I am going to get my new one today.. I am glad I work at SPRINT!!! It wasnt bricked until I did the JG5.. I was trying to figure out if it changed the buttons that put it in download mode but I couldn't find a combo.. :( oh first bricked phone in years of flashing cause I was trying to rush things

[Epic 4G General] styles420:
If you're using Odin to flash anything except a modem, it will completely wipe the phone (not the SD card, so don't worry about that) - which means performing the One Click Root before hand is unnecessary because it will be overwritten.

Also, in the future, don't start a new thread like this in the Development section - there is a Q&A thread in the Dev section that you could use, or you could post in the General section... I'm not trying to start a flame war (which seems to be what usually happens lately, lol), just trying to bring you up to speed on where to post - we have recently started a renewed effort to clean out the clutter and put an end to redundant posts, so that noobs and experienced users alike will be able to more quickly and easily find the information they need, making it easier to NOT brick your phone ;)

I know it cud be difficult for pros to put together a guide but if someone can that would really cut down all the questions and numerous threads in this forum..

So, finally three released froyo for the loyal (stupid) three customers who didn't want to root their phone.

And we all eagerly plugged into kies and clicked the download button.

Binaries are downloaded

The yellow android guy appears on the phone and ......... "An unexpected error has occurred whilst upgrading the firmware"

Prompting you into recovery mode where nothing happens.

Fortunately rebooting the phone provides 2.1 again.

I have factory reset the phone and it still doesnt work.

In recovery I see the following error
