[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Exanimus:
after 3 months of use my screen protector started to loose (mostly because of the dust i got between the display glass and the protector when i mounted it)

i have dropped keys and a heavy metallic cigarette lighter on my phone while i had my screen protector on and i noticed when removed it today that my screen looked as it did when my phone were brand new :)

Mounted the new protector today (since i got 2 when i ordered it) without getting any dust particles under it and it still looks brand new :)

Too bad the rest of my phone starts to look quite used :P

Alternative Launcher

I would love an answer to this as well. I installed Launcher Po but likewise could not get widgets to show.
[Ideos S7 General] BPHC:
All home replacement launchers cannot not have widget with S7. Its a known issue, I thought by removing default launcher would help but ended with same result, maybe with custom roms it will fix this issue.
[Ideos S7 General] Claian:
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

I've uninstalled both ADW and launcher pro multiple times trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I thought maybe it was to do with the changes Telstra made as mine is rebranded and has apps I cant uninstall.

I have noticed that the icon for the widget is different in the default home screen to in the other launchers.
[Ideos S7 General] ScooterG:
Widgets just won't work for now. I've tried adw, launcher pro, zeam, etc, etc...just live with the native launcher if you want any widgets for now.
[Ideos S7 General] qipengart:
LauncherPro is great for me but yes, no widget use apparently. We are awaiting a new ROM to flash after CWMod comes here.
[Ideos S7 General] CasualStarlord:
if you root the device you can uninstall all of the telstra crap...

on the subject of telstra, how **** is it that telstra prepaid cannot tell you how much 3G data you have used for the month... its a bloody joke.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
This is the visionary method, but works fine.

No adb needed.

Follow the videos to a "T", remove visionary and superusers from you phone if you already have them installed from a previous temp root before following the videos, start fresh, follow the videos starting with temp root then onto perm root then onto flashing a rom. Do everything just like the videos start to finish and you should have no problems.

Temp root first:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision-visionary-method/

Then perm root

http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/

Then flash a rom

http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/

Remember don't assume you know how to temp root properly, follow all three videos start to finish and you should have no problems.

Hoping it's not...

...the memory failure from the SGS on bell was caused by leaked software that wasnt ready

Is the memory on this a soldered SD card or proper flash which would give better read/write speeds? e.g. the WP7 devices with flash memory load apps and games faster.

Crunchroll has released their app in the market. You can watch Anime streams on your Evo's and other android devices.

As of right now the app is subscription based until they add ad support. I know a couple of people have been waiting on this.

I read their website for pricing info so here it is:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BasouKazuma:
We're currently only showing the low quality 240P version of the videos since that looks just fine on standard Android phones. We do have a 360P version but we haven't allowed people to access it yet since we need to set up a good way for people to either manually choose between the 2 or have it set up to automatically choose. The 480P version should look much better on the Android tablets.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Awesome. Any ETA on that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BasouKazuma:
I don't have any ETA on when the better quality videos will be made available. I think the whole UI is going to be changed first. Also, we're more concerned about converting all of the videos for it since many shows are missing videos, especially Drama ones.

Also, I edited my previous post since I had typed the wrong resolutions. We currently show 240P on Android and have 360P which isn't selectable yet. (360P and 480P were currently available resolutions for Roku)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Quality is good but it's missing all the ones I would like to see such as Hunter X Hunter, Gut's Rage, Dragonball Z and some other ones. Are you going to be adding those?
[Nook Color General] GTOMEX09:
I've had my NC rooted for 3 weeks. No probs. I decided to update to 1.0.1 to see if wifi was better and so I entered the adb command to force system update and all seemed to be well. After that it went into a boot loop.

I forced another "update" by powering down 8x during bootup. It reinstalled and then same problem. I then tried the directions at nookdevs to fix boot loops. I couldn't ssh into the NC, but to my surprise I could use adb, but I can't do the listed commands because I get "permission denied".

I did an adb logcat and I get nonstop info going by, mostly looking for stuff that shouldn't be there anymore, i.e. apps I loaded when it was rooted. Dalvik cache??

So, long story short, I've tried a system wipe 4x now and I'm stuck in an endless boot loop BUT I do have adb access. What now?

Head over to Nook Devs for the breakdown of the two.. Both methods are requied for using the newest AutoNooter... Glad to hear the device is still in working order.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Stuck in Boot Loop

Noob here with a problem. I’ve had my NC rooted for 5 days and the rooting went well. I had all my favorite android apps up and running. However I was experiencing random reboots (2-3 times per day). So, I decided to unroot and let the 1.0.1 update install and then I was going to use Auto-Nooter 2.12.18 to get everything back.

I did the 8X reboot thing and after reloaded, the NC went into a boot loop. The first thing I tried to do was the n, volume+ and power button. It simply went back to the boot loop.

I immediately put the auto-nooter sdcard in the NC, plugged in the usb to the pc. As opposed to the other times I did this, I got no visual indication that the PC recognized or activated the NC. I waited the full 5 minutes and removed it. The boot animation had changed, but the NC stayed in the boot loop.

I then searched and found this on nookdev.com (nookdevs.com/NookColor_Fix_Boot_Loops ). Following the instructions there, I installed putty.exe in the same folder as adb.exe. Putty would start and the session window would open, but I could not type or paste anything into the ssh screen. I assumed I had a bad download so I redid that and the install – no luck. I then searched and found another site from which I could download putty.exe, same results.

Before I ejected the NC I opened the command line window and I did adb devices and it came back with nothing. So now my NC is not recognized by the PC (and was before all this).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help with the putty ssh screen issue? Any help will be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Out of desperation I downloaded putty.exe again and it worked this time. Using the script on the nookdev.com website, the NC booted. I then did the data wipe and the 8X reset. I'm now back to stock (mostly) and I'll see if it updates tonight. If not, I'll force it tomorrow and don the new auto-nooter.

I'm learning!! :)
[Nook Color General] GTOMEX09:
Glad you fixed yours too. This device is nearly impossible to brick unless you deliberately try to. Definitely easy to undo hard work, but hard to brick.
[Nook Color General] cjthebest:
I have the same problem. Minutes after rooting with autonooter, my Nook restarted and I didn't even set up ADB access. I tried reseting several times with no luck :( Please help!!
[Nook Color General] Hypntick:
Mine is currently stuck in a boot loop as well. I did not update to the newer firmware it auto-updated and jacked everything up. Pretty upset right now.

I know I can reset the device but I need to get the data from it first. I have the entire storage full of data that I need. It will not boot at all and if this gets erased i'll more than likely end up returning the device and purchasing something that I won't have this problem with every update.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Unfortunately, there aren't many devices that will automatically backup all your important data to external media without you having to take some action on your own to set that up.
[Nook Color General] Mbside:
hey guys i'm noob here yesterday i rooted my nook color and everything was going fine until i turned it off when i tried to turn this again i couldn't so i took the sdcard off and tried again it powered but now i'm stuck in the grey 'N' screen, any idea on how can i fix this?
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Well, I'm not an expert, but I have been through this kind of thing. I would think you have two possibilities. One would be to put the nooter sdcard back in and hook it to the computer again. If it isn't very corrupted, it may automatically reload from the nooter sdcard.

If that won't work, then I think it's time to do the 3 finger data wipe and then the 8X reboot thing. You can then redo the nooter sdcard thing.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] cjthebest:
EXACT Same thing happened to me and a friend when using autonooter and 1.0.1. I think there is a problem with autonooter or 1.0.1 messing up the booting process. I wonder whats wrong :confused: So I was able to do the 8X reboot thing and get back to stock 1.0.0 and from here I'll try to attempt to use autonooter for 1.0.1. But I'm staying with 1.0.0 until Froyo next month.
[Nook Color General] Mbside:
thanks! the 8x thing worked good, I did the whole auto noot process again and it works at all except by this market issue

It might be a different froyo sense rom that I'm thinking of, but there should be SOMETHING implemented to manually turn on and off the light. I believe if you hold search and press L on the hardware keyboard it enables the light, but that might just be on 3rd sense. There is also an app in the market that can do this, called Backlight off! or something like that.

Hey guys. I have went from Di18 to Dk28 a few weeks back with ODIN and got my GPS working. I went to install ADFREE and it couldn't replace my hosts file. I got root explorer and noticed my SYSTEM a 258mb partition is full.

Now I see why it I cant replace my host-file..

When I go into my SD and memory app in settings it still says I have space available.. So it must me looking at a different partition.

Is anyone else having these issues? Is there a fix besides re-formatting everything? Any ideas welcome.. I really do not have that many apps installed.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Odin back to stock sounds like your partitions are mapped wrong.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
Any apps you installed via the Market are stored in a different partition, so "reformatting" won't help.

The way to free up some space is to delete some junk from the /system/app folder, such as the Asphalt5_DEMO and FreeHDGameDemos APKs

I personally deleted any app which can be found on the Market, such as Amazon MP3, Facebook, Qik, etc.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
It was repartitioned, just select the symlink option and it will work.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
System/app is symlinked, deleting them and reinstalling from the market probably put them right back there...protected apps ftw.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
No, it is not symlinked. /system/ is on a separate partition from /data. Any app you download from the Market is stored in /data/app or on the SD card, not in /system/app. This is why I mentioned deleting any apps which can be found on the Market from /system as you won't end up having two copies of the app and it frees up space on the system partition.

Hey guys,

I just got my hybrid case from deal day link

described as

The machining is just on the back of the case. This gives it a really nice and grippy texture, kind of reminds me of the texture of plastic holograms cards. I wish this texture was continued onto the sides. The side are glossy plastic and a bit slippery but better than with nothing on.

The case fits like a glove, maybe too well, it's kind of a PITA to take off.

It has minimal front protection, there are four release clips (two each side to help take the case off the phone) that protrude past the screen but I would not count on them if you dropped your phone.

All in all this is a very nice case. Its not really going to give much protection. But does give the phone some bulk while keeping the phone thin. It does give a lot more grip compare to the OEM battery cover. I prefer this case to my TPU case and my hard plastic case.

My OEM case is sanded from a plasti-dip experiment.

EDIT: Severe GPS signal loss.

GPS accuracy is severly impacted.

Without case 7/11 30ft accuracy SNR 27-35 Constant lock

With case 4/11 80ft accuracy SNR 15-22. Intermittent lock
