I have a realook screen protector and it's very nice but I always have to clean it because it's a fingerprint magnet. I bought a Skinomi screen protector from Amazon because it only cost me $1.05. I haven't tried it yet and the reviews on Amazon are less than favorable for it. Here's the link so you should take a look.

Cases & screen Protector

I had purchased a case on amazon for $1 and it sucked i went to a T-Mobile store and got the gel case that they had and it is awesome i have dropped my phone a couple of times and it still works perfectly.

The screen protector i also got from tmobile and it was really good it comes in a 2 pack for like 10 - 15
[Vibrant Accessories] Zylograth:
I use the T-Mobile Black gel skin case and I used to have a ZAGG screen protector but after the whole gorilla glass revelation I have not used a screen protector and have not had any problems. I have heard and seen lots of good things about reallook
[Vibrant Accessories] kaine13x7:
I have both the body glove case and the tough case by case mate. I like the case mate one as the body glove chrome front piece is very fragile and will break.
[Vibrant Accessories] zephiK:
Case-Mate Tough Case.. I purchase many different cases and the Case-mate one doesn't stick and comes in two layers without making the phone too bulky. It makes the vibrant feel solid in the hand and you won't ever have to worry about dropping it.

It's a little bit pricey at $29.99 but its worth it. It also comes with a screen protector but I personally haven't tried it out and I prefer the screen to be naked. Yet to be scratched. There is a thread on XDA in regards to the Case-mate tough case including pictures.

After purchasing this case, I looked no further and I've been satisfied with this case for months.
[Vibrant Accessories] HRodMusic:
i was thinking on getting that barely case =/ i kno for a fact im getting that realook screen protector!
[Vibrant Accessories] GreggoryD502:
I second the case mate tough case. Its awesome. Goes in and out of your pocket without sticking. Plus it gives it a.great feel. Also the realook is the best. Just make sure in a.dust free environment. I read on here that the bathroom after a shower is best. That's how I installed mine and it went great.

[Vibrant Accessories] mrsbelpit:
The barely there case is nice. I have the silver. Don't let anyone tell you that the silver one degrades the signal, it does not. The black one has a better grip, though, it's textured where the silver one is slick.

here's the silver:

I also like the realook sp, I've tried at least 5 others and realook is the best in my opinion.
[Vibrant Accessories] ipeench:
As I'm sure you have come to the conclusion... reallook is the way to go when it comes to screen protectors, no questions asked. just do it.

I was stopped at the mall I live near by the people selling the invisibleSHIELDs. They called basically said i was lying that I even had a SP on my phone, because "no screen protector looks that good" and told me that i cant take a key to it... so i did and nothing happened.

Then they lost sales when the other people they stopped asked me what company mine was and found out it was half the price, ha.

and for the case i have the jell tmobile one... i got it as a "meantime" case, until i found one i liked.... and i have fell in love with it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shark1217:
I was thinking about flashing Nero beta 3 on my vibrant and use it as a daily driver but is it stable and usable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Yes. Beta status is because there are more features coming to rom, not because its unstable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyese24:
hell yea its stable been running it since it came out, its fast, it looks good and it has great battery life
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodDraw:
I just flashed it a few hours ago, and I'm relatively happy. No obvious bugs yet, and the speed seems good. Not a fan of the launcher, coming from Onyx though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raceves:
Been running it since it came out and have found no serious issues. Battery is pretty good and I love the look.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmas0n:
I've also been running Nero since Beta 1 and have had no stability issues. No FCs or shutdowns while running Navigation + Last.fm over 3G or while doing anything else for that matter. Even in Beta 1 where there were a few small bugs, the ROM was still stable, most likely because it uses the stock kernel.

hi guys so i finally install 2.2 on my vibrant but after that i tried to copy files to my sd root and im recieving an error. Like the path is wrong or error 0x80070057: the parameter is incorrect. please need help with this issue.

Thanks

You need to run the SD mounting fix.

Yeah !

I faced this problem with Froyo 2.2 and I really don't know what's the problem !
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biakuya_pr:
shrivel i just downloaded the ROM but dont know how to flash it? I have been trying to look for this on the forums but cant find it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Rom Flash

There is a Guide in the Dev Thread. Named Bibble.

to answer your question root your phone, install superuser, install Busybox, Install Rom Manager. Install clockwork recovery withing Rom Manager. Then use the option to install rom from SD in Rom Manager. Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] anthonylokrn:
So I've had my HTC EVO since launch and have always had the infamous sun/bright spot on my screen. I didn't bother to get it replaced due to the shortage and noted that it has a 1-year manufacture warranty.

I don't buy insurance on my phones since I treat them really well.

So I went to Sprint today to have them replace my screen and the rep. told me to call HTC directly in regards to having my phone fixed since I do not have insurance. I called HTC and they say repairs can take up to 3 weeks and I will be out a phone for that alloted time.

Full of crap.

How does Verizon take care of manufacture warranties without having their insurance? If the consumer is required to contact the manufacture, how well does Motorola make sure the defect is of no inconvenience to their daily life?

FYI. I hate having to wait an hour just to make a return at the Sprint Store.

Thanks,

Anthony

Flash Myn's RLS4 and just try the sprint hotspot you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBiz227:
Thanks for the input, but last night after clearing out the old apk's, installing build 15, adding to DroidWall's whitelist before opening the app at all and starting it up (approving the normal SU permissions), it worked... It was on my whitelist before, but this time it just worked.

I will however look into Myn's RLS4, I'm guessing it's a patch that 'unlocks' the Sprint hotspot?

[EVO 4G General] VictoryCrescent:
I am in the Philadelphia area (excellent coverage of 3G & 4G according to Sprint) with a 2 month old Evo 4G. Everything in the beginning was peachy (I left ATT/3GS for Sprint) but now with full 3G bars, my connection constantly resets. Internet will not load, Pandora stops and pick a new track minutes later, nothing updates. I want to know if this is a widespread problem and what I can do about it.

I am running the most updated stock rom with Launcher Pro. I haven't really changed anything else. It is starting to annoy me. I am familiar with the 4G issues but never had a problem with 3G till now.

Any ideas or advice? I would say it started in the last week or so.

After you update your prl and profile, call sprint tech support since you're stock.

Can you recommend me any website from where I can buy the latest and advanced smartphone? If yes, then please provide me the link or name of that website.Thank you in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] milly003:
Hi...

As you are looking for smart phone for your special someone, then you should surely get something special. Before opting for any of the new widget, firstly check all its attributes. It should include all innovative features like superb music and video player, high resolution camera, FM radio and so on. However, if you have some cost issues then getting a Chinese handset can also be best idea. Here i can suggest you to have a look on http://www.brandsdragon.com/Smart-Phone-st2-sid248.html and get one of the most stylish and feature-rich handset.

Thanks.

I tried rooting my phone and it made it through almost all the steps and then failed..Well it rebooted and had a big red exclamation mark and triangle on the screen.

Definitely wont be rooting again...thanks in advance for your help!
[EVO 4G General] jimd144:
maybe try taking out battery and reboot
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Push vol up + power and a menu should appear. You can reboot from there.

The screen with the four triangles is where you need to flash it from. Just make sure you are using the right version ruu

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatesmarch123:
So...I currently own a vibrant and want to pick up a nexus s mainly because I'll be guaranteed android upgrades. My main concern is if the nexus s utilizes the same gps chip as the other galaxy s phones. If it does, it is an epic fail because gps accuracy is still HORRID on these phones and would be a total dealbreaker.

Anyone know the answer?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
The Nexus S has an improved antenna.

But even then the GPS issues on the Galaxy S series were mostly software ones since they've now been patched between the update, and the app ont he market to reset the gps settings.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatesmarch123:
I've tried every fix out there and it still has me driving next to the highway in the woods or 2 blocks from where I'm standing.

My crappy Motorola cliq has pinpoint precision compare to the vibrant.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchimney:
But that mostly means that there is still a hardware issue and that means the difference between driving on the road and driving perpendicular to it.

REQUEST

Those who already have their phone: please make a GPS test as it follows:

choose a location outside which you can easily identify on google earth (a tree, a big rock, something small but visible on satellite view)

go out there and use an app which shows GPS coordinates - preferably the free app GPS test

stand next to object and get the coordinates, write it down, etc (for this wait a while till more precise fix)

go back to house, type the coordinates into Google Earth

measure the distance between the location you got with your phone and the real object using Google Earths measuring tool

post the results here
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Well, I'm not gonna do all that, but maybe this will help.

I did a cold start on Maps. Got a lock on within 10 seconds. Pretty damn good. Now I'm using GPS Test app and was able to lock on all satellites. 7 out of 7. This is all within my house. Wifi is off.

I can happily say that GPS works fine. From my experience anyways. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Yup GPS is fine locked faster and seems more accurate than my vibrant
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aohmer:
It was either Endgadget or gizmodo, but they said the GPS still sucks on the nexus s that it took forever for them to get a lock. I was tired of playing with ROM's etc, which is why I sold my vibrant and got a mytouch4g. I do miss the vibrant, but I geocache and a accurate GPS is something I needed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
load of BS. took less than 0.5 sec to get a lock and the accuracy is incredible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
They also said they were driving while trying to get a lock... And in my experience (Nexus S, TomTom, Garmin), a GPS can't get a lock while you're moving. Maybe the best ones can, but their test is not enough to say that Nexus S sucks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeef:
I feel that I have a bad GPS. It's. Not seeing more than 2 satellite outdoor. I will test it more
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donatron:
Those that say that the GPS issues of the Galaxy S line of phones were fixed via the software update and market app probably don't own a Galaxy S phone. The GPS is definitely not fixed. In fact, it's the only reason why I'm in this forum. I'm willing to give up AT&T 3G for a working GPS -- I plan to sell my Captivate and buy a Nexus S if the GPS works.

Also, those that say they got a fast lock and great accuracy, that doesn't exactly mean anything yet. Most Galaxy S users had great GPS performance out-the-box, and after a hard reset. But the performance gradually degrades over the course of a few days, and then you eventually want to throw your phone out the window. So the fact that only some Nexus S owners have great GPS performance -- and not ALL -- leaves me discouraged. But we should have a better assessment after a few days.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalagas:
Maybe Samsung and/or Google also released in market the pieces that they have produced, before changing the GPS antenna....

Maybe that's why some users have GPS issues and others not...

So maybe we have 2 deferent produced devices....

[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
I am a little curious myself. I do however imagine that the modem is going to be the biggest stumbling block, as I doubt the 2.3 kernel will interface to an existing modem. And if the NS's modem was found, it'd undoubtidly not function properly on AT&T's WCDMA network.. However, do report what happens with the flash, although I think getting past the boot screen would be a severe accomplishment

So does anyone feel one camera app does a better job over the other? Don't like sense but the camera on cm6 seems to take better and faster pictures? Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
I've always felt that the CM6 camera takes better pictures, is faster, and is just less of a pain to use. I don't necessarily like the way it looks, but the pictures it takes just seem to be a little crisper. When I run Sense roms, though, I use the app called Vignette which is a paid app in the market, and it takes some good pictures as well. The UI is pretty dirty but it has a lot of options and the overall quality of the pictures is good.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I found it pretty interesting reading through Anandtechs Nexus S review when they compared speedtests in an Hspa+ zone between the Nexus S and MyTouch4g. His tests showed that the average dl/ul speeds in an Hspa+ area are virtually identical, obviously results will vary depending on your location but I think it speaks to how the technology itself works and what you can expect in real world use.

[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Another thing of note is that the NS doesn't suffer from any sort of "death grip."
[Nexus S General] rashad1:
I used HSPA on my Vibrant last summer, and believe me it's fast enough. HSPA+ is just going to kill your battery faster, I can live without it.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
HSPA 7.2 down

HSPA+ 14.4
[Nexus S General] n1kki6:
Especially when we are talking about loading webpages. When it comes to large file transfers sure the extra speed is nice, but at this point with mobile phones, if you are doing large file tranfers you are probably on wifi.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
yup. I'm good with half the potential of current HSPA+ or even a third of what it will be. (22)

And i've never gotten above 2.0Mbps down on my nexus in south florida, so anything above that would be awesome.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
On average I get 6 megs down and 1.3 up on my N1

It should also be noted that MB/s does not represent true data transfer speed it would be kB/s and NOT kbps
[Nexus S General] neok44:
damn your lucky. even with full bars and the H symbol on the notification bar i've never seen more than 2.3/1.0. Just another reason why i don't mind that the NS doesn't have HSPA+ since it'll be 2-3 years until t-mobile gets around to getting anything above 7.2 here.

I didn't have 3G on my G1 for almost 6 months took t-mobile so long to finally add 3g to south florida.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Ya, wasnt Florida one of the last markets to get 3g?
[Nexus S General] neok44:
pretty much. Miami had it about 4-5 months before the rest of south florida, and shortly after the rest of the state followed. probably gonna be the same with 4G, so i don't expect to get it here for at least a year.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
its okay :( ill send you some of my 4G's
