Took three tries and a slight trim of the long edge, but 3 ANTI GLARE Screen LCD for Samsung Captivate Galaxy S off ebay gave me what I want: a bubble free matte screen installation. item #380262378182.
[Captivate Accessories] max1099:
Thanks I going to order from ebay
[Captivate Accessories] Xaltotun:
You don't NEED a screen protector.

The Samsung Galaxy S has Gorilla Glass from Corning.

Check a torture test here (on a Dell Streak, which I also have :D - but it has the same glass) and tell me if you

really

need a lousy plastic sheet on your beautiful screen.
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
Check out the gorilla glass website. The got a pictireo of a gorilla with its arse up in the air kissing a pane of glass LOLS
[Captivate Accessories] itsjustaphone:
FWIW, My phone hangs out in my pocket all day, every day, with keys and loose change etc. I have zero scratches on the glass and the naked glass feels much better than any screen protector IMHO.
[Captivate Accessories] ninjuh:
Don't get yourself all worked up over choosing the "right" screen protector. Just buy the 3 pack from at&t and call it good :)
[Captivate Accessories] bztips:
Steinheil protectors are fantastic -- only ones I've found that don't leave smudges and fingerprints all over. (They do dull the screen a bit, but since the amoled screen is too bright to begin with, that's not a problem IMO.)
[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
Look at it in the sun at an angle so it reflects the sun off the screen, you will see lots of micro scratches. This is on both our captivates. Sure, they're not "SCRATCHES" like the usually unsightly ones, they are just micro, or super thin.
[Captivate Accessories] Panzer500:
Just because it can handle an impact doesn't mean it's scratch resistant. Personally have used the Phantom Skinz protector in the past and am currently using the Realook protector now. If you like the slight rubbery feel of the "skinz" type of protector you have plenty of options. I used the Phantom Skinz because it seemed to have the least orange peel look. After exchanging my captivate for another one (I had the random shut down issue) I used the Realooks static style screen protector. I prefer this one since it's almost nake glass feeling and I can totally say it can take a decent scratch. I got a nice dent from a fall off my desk onto a barbell that dented my chasis and also nicked the screen protector but no scratches. Best thing is you get 2 so if one gets farked you still have a spare. Best screen protector is one you will use and be happy with.
[Captivate Accessories] Paladuck:
It still scratches even with the Gorilla Glass. Not big scratches, but they are visible at certain angles - it may or may not bother you.

I've used two types, SGP and Realook. Both are highly regarded, and from my experience SGP doesn't have any rainbow effect like Realook, but Realook has a much more natural feel. Both are excellent.
[Captivate Accessories] cachookaman:
i took off my screen protector a couple months ago and i sometimes regret it. theres a few scratches on the screen but you cant really see them unless you hold the phone at a specific angle in the light. it doesnt really bother me that much. it is kind of annoying having to clean the fingerprints though.
[Captivate Accessories] jfuq20:
I have invisishield its great only paid twenty for it with a lifetime warranty you I've had mine for about 4 months and it has yet to get a scratch and I even took a knife and scraped it across the screen surely no scratches but in the end I guess it is all up preference

[Captivate Accessories] samuride1:
Dont mean to hi jack the thread but is there a way to clean a screen protector? I was installing mine and it slipped out of my hand. I have tried using scotch tape to the debris off of it but I cant get all of it. Any ideas????
[Captivate Accessories] FredWorrell:
Invisishield

I've had the Invisishield on my phone since late August. I just recently had to exchange that under warranty and the Invisishield removed easily and installed easily on the new phone, no air pockets at all. Still looks like the day I bought it.
[Captivate Accessories] n19htmare:
possible one of the WORST things to put on a phone's screen. Especially a touch screen phone with one of the best glass and screens.

The invisishield and all others LIKE IT offer nothing but horrible viewing and use. The cover often resists your fingers movements, your fingers often drag on it and the smoothness of glass is all gone and replaced by a crappy rubbery and not to mention GRAINY protector.

Surprisingly, the only thing close to being clear, and smooth is the cheap stuff on ebay. I've used them and they offer great protection and are cheap enough to change out every month. I no longer use one.
[Captivate Accessories] ccdoggy:
for what its worth I got the BodyGuardz protectors when they were on thanks giving sale.

It does not feel like the glass, given, but i almost feel like i like that it gives just a little resistance to my touch. it does have the slightest orange peel effect but you can only see it if its off and at an angle.

Its not perfect, but I like it especially since I have a bit of OCD and it would drive me crazy if i got the smallest scratch on the screen. This gives me piece of mind.
[Captivate Accessories] n19htmare:
http://cgi.ebay.com/3pcs-Clear-LCD-...218142?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5add8f621e

you're better of with these. They're clear and dont have the resistance you feel with other rubbery protectors. I'd use the ebays ones before anything else, especially if you are OCD.

At $1.57 for 3, you can change it every month if you want, but I've had good luck with them in the past.
[Captivate Accessories] sssandhu78:
I got gadgetshieldz they cost around $6 for full body protection. Worked for me, they are quite nice easy to install and quite good in performance. A word of caution though the it took 20 days for it to get to me in Canada.
[Captivate Accessories] jaywelcome:
SGP Steinheil.

pros:

-perfect fit

-no rainbow effect

-no liquid applications so no orange peel look

-protects from scratches and scuffs

-doesn't interfere with touch response

-easy to install

-comes with two in a pack

-doesn't leave residue if you wanted to remove it (but i don't see a reason you would need to take it off)

-perfect fit

-amazing image quality, especially on the ultra crystal clear. but the anti-fingerprint one does have a matte finish so it slightly brings down quality

-much much more!

cons: kinda pricey but still worth it (to me there are no cons)
[Captivate Accessories] Panzer500:
I've used this technique and it has worked flawlessly for me

Sorry since I'm so noob I can't post links.
[Captivate Accessories] upNsmokeAllDay:
That is what i did and it involves no trimming and its just as clear and real feeling as the screen to the point where if anyone else looks at it or touches it they don't even notice the screen protector and are amazed when you point it out.

For launcher pro
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Dont you think that statement is just a tiny bit too broad? I dont even think Launcher Pro support themes...at least not like ADW.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindbullet:
You could flash a theme for your ROM through clockwork recovery and add custom icons. I just got my appendix out, so I'll have some time on my hands to try some themes over the next day or so.

I'm thinking of the gingerbread theme with some custome icons. They even have a few on the page.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] max1099:
Thanks gays I just find cool icons for launcher pro there are nice looking. So I don't need a them for launcher pro just changing the icons looks so nice
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rel500:
lmao i may be wrong for this but lol...:p:p:p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DocRawk:
There is an app called launcherpro icons that lets you change the icons as well as modify the looks of the dock. It works pretty well.

I use the app screenshot by gik softwares

In the phones gallery the pics look so nice but after I upload it looks horrible

I've seen other ppls posts with these horrible quality pics too

Is there any fix

Here is one pic
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
I have noticed this as well, along with other strange quirks on the XDA app. I would imagine it is a problem with the app itself, as multiple other people have reported having problems with it. Time to email some developers :-)

[Android Apps and Games] RockySterling:
I have the classic controller hooked up to my G2 and am trying to use it to play Quake 3. While I've been able to remap all the buttons to get a decent FPS experience, the problem is that Quake, of course, has left/right turn as keyboard buttons by default, so even with the thumbstick left/right options on the CC being programmed to them, they are too slow to really use and make the game borderline impossible to play. There is the mouselook/freelook option, but that doesn't seem to want to work with the thumbstick on the controller--only with the phone itself. The movement and looking up/down works fine, but I need to make the right thumbstick into mouselook if I want to ever play Q3 again, and I don't know how. Do you guys have any ideas?

-Rocky
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Did you try raising the sensitivity? If not link me to the controller you have and I'll buy it and see what I can implement into quake3droid.
[Android Apps and Games] RockySterling:
I guess I should clarify, I meant the "Kwaak3" port specifically (which I installed as per random googled instructions); I haven't tried "quake3droid" itself. But I assume it's a general limitation of anything based off of Quake 3 (unless quake3droid changes it somehow) that being able to turn left and right is either keyboard-based or requires mouselook, and my problem is getting the program to recognize moving the thumbstick around as a mouse (it didn't work as "Joystick" when I enabled that, unless I was seriously confusing things), so if I set turn left/right as the keys associated with left/right on the CC, then it's godawfully slow to turn and mouse sensitivity has no impact. It seemed like less of a problem looking up and down than turning, but that may just be due to the fact that that I was fighting a bot in a mostly horizontal level so it was much less essential to look up/down than to be able to turn quickly to shoot him.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khar00f:
Sometimes my SGS blacksout also, but i know it still works cause i have haptic feedback on.

for me it's very easy to restore the picture

it always works with one of the following two options

A) Push the home button

B) even thought the screen is balck, go to wallpapers

one of those will always bring back my screen for me. Again this only works if the phone is one and responsive, just the screen that goes black.

Let me know if it works for you

Thanks you,

I have a perm rooted g2 using cyanogen 6.1 r3... When the OTA update comes out will it affect my rooting in any way or add and extra security features..i know I'm not the only one wondering so does anyone have any input?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
Why don't you do a google search? There's a lot of information out there... even the 250 page Gingerbread user manual has been released.

It's basically just an improved UI with some extra **** added in.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanshop:
it will make you more awesome and sexier to the ladies eyes, consequently, you will get laid like crazy bro....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I've never received an OTA while running a custom ROM. If you're running rooted stock, I'd keep my eyes peeled for news here before installing it, just in case it will do something to root.

Otherwise, I like to be surprised so I know very little about it other than near field communications will be built into Gingerbread.

Also, Gingerbread will go back in time and kill Hitler.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You won't get an OTA if you're running a custom ROM. But Cyanogen is bound to come out with a 2.3 version way before any official OTAs. I can't imagine it'll affect rooting etc because everyone running Cyanogen will want their phones to stay rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Stevie have you misunderstood Sleef?

Official OTA updates could maybe affect ease of rooting,... when 2.1 landed for the Hero those who jumped in head first and applied the OTA got stuck for about 2 months until a new method was found.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Yeah, I was, no problem. But thanks for adding the additional info, which I should have done really - which is as you say that if course you're on a *stock* ROM and are rooted/S-OFF you should not accept/apply an OTA until it's been verified it won't lock you out of root/S-OFF !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
any 2.3 ota will most certainly change the way we have to root, and it might be a while until someone works out how to do it again.

Custom 2.3 roms will be out pretty quick, even if its just a rooted stock so you have no real need to accept any ota that is offered once rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OoTLink:
It'll help you get a gf because somehow she'll realize that despite you not owning an iphone, you have gingerbread!

hehe :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I probably could have been a little less vague.

Also, I'm positive that someone who knows what they're doing will take the OTA and make a flashable ROM out of it so eager folks can take it for a spin without actually applying the OTA themselves. 2.3 CyanogenMod shouldn't be too far behind.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but should the source code be made available, a dev could make a working ROM even before the G2 specific OTA, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajbaba2:
Sorry this is a little off topic but I was on my cousins rooted droid x. I went on rom manager and there were much more providers for roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
AFAIK,... The 2.3 source from Google is out,... but the 2.3 kernel from HTC is still needed before anything stable can be built (instead of trying generic builds not specifically for our device so all hardware/features will not work). HTC usually release their source after releasing the update.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I don't think the source code is out yet, just the SDK. Shouldn't need a 2.3 kernel from HTC to make a stable build, I'm sure Cyanogen is up to the job.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Aha,... ok.

I assumed there would be a problem going from 2.6.32 (froyo kernel) to 2.6.35 (gingerbread) as that is where there were holdups on the Hero. Fingers crossed then.

.... a teeny bit OT... Has anyone heard of Bumptop? Or is it just me that didn't know what it was? Google took over earlier this year, and it does resemble the 3d gallery + the Android 3.0 tablet video. Just installed to my laptop,... Very nice, even without a touchscreen. Maybe that is what we have to look forward to next year?

Ok,i have a lot of questions.

And i really am in need of AWESOME BATTERY LIFE.

I was told that collins tweak runs the best,so i tried it out with RefinedEvo 1.2

it was AWESOME in 3 hours i got to 90% with Netarchy's 4.1.9 CFS Nohavs.

i just flashed the collins tweak over it the Rom and it worked.

It was the best battery life,I ever had but now i cant get it back.

everytime i flash it from another rom or some sort it wont give me the same results.

i didnt touch the collins tweak until now,since im trying to put it on RefinedEvo again or Myns Rom.

But i dont really know how to properly use it. the GUIDE TAUGHT ME NOTHING.

i mean i dont see KSOFT ANYWHERE. and i dont even know what it means. but i see it in others screen shots but i cant find it in my own phone on terminal emulator. what do i do? do i run it as root? do i run it t 1152mhz or 998mhz? i know i should be running it at 998mhz to get better battery life,right?

but i am and i see no change? and i try to customize but it doesnt really help,i dont wanna funk with it. what governor should i keep it on smartass is the best right? but i heard it doesnt play nice with it.

PLEASE SOMEONE OFFER ME ASSISTANCE.

like how to properly do it?

and if i flash another kernel on the rom what do i wipe? everything like dalvik cache,cache,and data/factory reset? what do i need to do?

do i have to do any battery mods? like unplug when its green then plug it when its blank and what not?

what can i do? PLEASEE. i've TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING. NOTHING WILL GIVE ME GREAT RESULTS!

i mean i use SetCPU and that was BEAST.

but i hear collins tweak is much better.

help me,please!

sorry,for really spamming this crap.

but i really need help and nobody would help.

i mean i bet you guys all needed help one time or another.

I need to know-

how to flash something properly without ruining anything.

how to properly run collins tweak

how to get the best battery life i can

what kernels would run best with the Tweak on Myns Rom.

RLS3 or 4?

maybe setcpu profiles?

BASICALLY,What Kernel do i use to get the best battery performace on Myns rom RLS4 or RefinedEVO 1.2

to run smooth and quick enough but can last me a best battery i can get with the Tweak flashed over it.

PS.I WILL DONATE TO ANYONE THAT CAN GIVE ME VERY BEST DESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTIONS,REAL HELP, WITH ALL THE NEEDS FOR MY BEST BATTERY LIFE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Wow thank you.

That really helped.

But I knew alot of those things just recently.I actually need help finding out what kernel to use I know netarchy nohavs CFS but which one 4.2.1 or 4.1.9? That's my problem.

can I use the htc kernel# 17 with the tweak or no?

I know not to use Setcpu with collins tweak.

But really,I can't use a havs kernel like CFS more aggressive by netarchy and collins tweak? It will give me bad battery life?!

I don't know what to do, should I use Setcpu or collins tweak?

What rom and what exact kernel tho?

For the tweak what governor should I use?

I mean I know when you use Setcpu you use smartass governor because it runs best right?

Can I get some help on that please?

well does RLS 4 run great with collins tweak? Will kings BFS or CFS# 9 work great with the tweak? I want optimal battery life. I once had 30 hrs with very very very heavy use.

Btw I want to customize the settings on the tweak what do I use?

What's ksoft?

How do I know if the tweak is working properly?

And if I can improve it.

But overall that was great. Your the only one to respond.

Id gladly donate,please some more help would be great.
