[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruth1983:
I am a proud owner of a new nexus S. It was hard to give up my nexus one but the 2 main things that pushed me over the top were the beautiful screen and the front facing camera. Coming from the nexus one, I never had to use a screen protector or a case because that phone is built like a tank. It still looks brand new and it's only a year old. I have been lurking on the forums here for a couple weeks and I'm pretty confused about the screen on the Nexus S. Some say the coating comes off easily, some say it has gorilla glass, and some say it scratches easily. I really don't want to put a screen protector on this beautiful screen but at the same time, I don't want to risk scratching it. So what's the final word on the screen? Is it ok to keep it naked or should I invest in a invisible shield or something similar. I would rather be proactive and get this done now because I don't want to get scratches on it later. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i like the phone screen for what it is.

it looks just awesome and breath taking like the Galaxy S

but the Auto Setting is not as good, so i use it Manually

re: protection... who cares, just slap on a Screen Protector,

if it's really defective, then take it back for an exchange
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
Screen protectors ruin the phone experience for me. They don't feel as nice as the bare glass, and they always make the screen look worse in some way. I'm keeping my phone naked. I take good care of my phones, and I'll take a few minor scratches that come with regular use over a screen protector.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
hmm... the think clear PET films are the best

they maintain the original color and feel of the screen

if you use anything like the ZAGG or any other ultra armor kind of screen protector, yeah, they do smear the color and texture of the screen
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Same with me; I take care of my phones and can't stand the look or feel of screen protectors
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2842059:
Absolutely agree.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
It all comes down to how well you care for your phone. Personally, I dislike screen protectors and think they are a rip off. ($12 for 3 sheets of plastic film is ridiculous). I typically don't use a case either, because they can cause scratches, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a case in the first place. If you take great care of your phone, it will look the way it did the day it came out of the box. One thing I try to do is make sure my hands are relatively clean before using the touch screen. ie; no dirt on fingers, etc that can cause scratches. When I'm out and about, I keep my Nexus S in a pocket that is completely empty, to avoid any damage. Remember, the Nexus S is a $600 phone, and the "BMW" of cell phones. Treat it that way, and you should be fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I bought my Nexus S first day it was available. I ordered a screen protector (cheap ones on eBay that I love, 3 for $4), they have not arrived yet and I've used my phone a lot.

Zero scratches/cracks/issues.

It's not Gorilla glass. It has oleophobic coating, it does not come off. You just need to know what it is and what it does. It only minimizes fingerprints. If you have greasy-ass fingers, of course there will be fingerprints.

On mine, after a few days my screen will be messy. I use my (quality) microfiber cloth (that I use for my glasses), wipe the screen and it looks BRAND NEW. I can then wipe around the screen and see very little fingerprints.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
count me on the super grease level :p

i have to keep wipeing the screen every few seconds of usage, if not i can't see well on the screen

that's why protecting the screen is important to me, if i keep wiping the phone without the screen protector, it will eventually wear out and look like some of the pictures shown here on another topic, all scratched etc.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.r.olson:
So, I'm running the latest MikFroyo (4.2), Netarchy's 4.2.2 Less HAVS and the corresponding SBC kernel, and running SetCPU (set at 384/128 conservative with the screen off). When I have the screen off and the phone is idle, I'm seeing an unusually high drop in battery. Last night (12-8) my phone dropped 12%. While looking at what was using the battery up, Cell Standby and Phone Idle were using the most battery (46% and 40% respectively), Android System had used 2%, and screen had used 1%. I checked Spare Parts and I don't have any wake lock issues that I'm aware of... I checked and, according to the battery use details for Cell Standby, the phone was only without a signal 19% of the time.

Is this normal or is there something I should check out? I've never had battery drop like that overnight. I'm seeing an unusually high drop in battery even with the phone idling with the screen off.

When i cook a Rom i want to adjust font size in registry without "Start-Settings-System-Screen-Text Size. How can I do?

No need for the registry...just play with your zoom bar when looking a mail or sms. The size will change and stay that way until you change it again!

before nand we all just download different builds and just copy the data.img file to the next build and basically kept all of our data , app, widget etc.

but what can we do now?

i cant change the data.img file in the nand roms...

how do i change roms and keep all my stuff?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You're gonna need to start backing up and restoring what you want to keep. I recommend titanium backup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dardasatla:
titanium backup restore your rom like copying the date.img?

you start just where you left?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
It will backup apps, their data and (optionally) system data.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Macelangelo77:
Titanium Backup will backup all apps and most data (like settings, preferences etc.). Beware that if an app offers to download something for additional functionality, that will not always be backupped, as it isn't always stored in the same location. No harm done there, as it doesn't contain settings in such scenario. If you restore the app, all settings will be restored too.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
nope. you pick the apps you want to backup and then in the new rom you restore them all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dardasatla:
i wish there is a simple way to change rom like copy one file...

but you all say thet titanium backup is the right thing to do so....

I just bought a HTC desire HD and I am experiencing frame rate issues with the video playback on YouTube and on films I have transferred on the handset SD card.

I have the same videos on an old ipod touch 3G and the videos play very smoothly both on youtube and from the ipod. Could anybody give me some advice on how to sort out this issue? Also, could the class of the micro SD card be the cause?

A few things that I should note:

- I just bought the handset and its a un branded, unlocked vodafone handset

- I updates to 2.2.1 (1.75.161.2)

- I performed a factory reset and video playback still stutters

Thanks
[Captivate General] harleydad82:
I have just flashed to latest cognition, this is my first flash. I noticed in the 3 step videos on youtube, that when he was done and swtiching thru some of the apps, phone, contacts, espn scorecenter, etc. that the apps loading almost instantly! Now when i use my phone it does not, didn't notice any speed difference. I was hoping for a speed increase when flashing a rom, ok to my question, is there any apps, tricks, or anything i can do to achieve this? Also i hear about kernels, what are these and how do i use these to speed up the phone? Any help would be appreciated. I downloading speedmod from app store but haven't installed it yet, comments were mixed with some of the stating serious problems, any thoughts on this also? Thanks
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Cognition, especially the latest, has the Voodoo lagfix installed. You can download Quadrant, even though the scores are complete crap, from the market and see if you score is above 1100+ then it is enabled.

If Voodoo didn't install correctly, then a reflash could help.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
I noticed the exact same thing with froyo 2.2 roms, the phone kind of slows down after a few days. Install a rom that is based on froyo 2.2.1 jpy, there's a couple in the dev section. These jpy based roms completely get rid of that lag and are as smooth as butter.
[Captivate General] harleydad82:
Thanks for the advice, any names for these jpy. roms? I just ran quadrant, and scored 1300, so i take it voodoo is working, but....I used to score a 2099 with OCLF, i know that these scores don't all mean that much. What about speedmod in the app store, all the good comments say that it speeds up the phone dramatically, but the bad comments say it messes up the phone.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Docs v7 is 2.2.1 over clocked to 1200 ghz with voodoo. Quad score 1800+. Stable with great battery life. 18 hours of good use.
[Captivate General] harleydad82:
OK, so this might be a dumb question, but i just did my first flash so is the process the same except when i copy the rom of Cognition into my root menu, this time i would just copy the docs file? Do i need to also flash back to stock and clear the phone then flash the new rom? Also is there a link to a list of roms and possibly pics of the rom home screen or benefits? Thanks
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
I would flash stock and master clear to be safe. You are switching base and kernel.

Couple of things, backup all user apps with titanium, no system apps.

Have you saved your android id before?

Backup the update zip on your sd. This gets you into clockwork recovery so you can flash without needing to root once on stock.

Yes, you save the rom to the root if you're sd. Get into clockwork recovery and install zip from sd.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Forget about quadrant scores or oclf or anything from the market to speed up the phone, just pick any of these roms.

I unrooted my phone click "unroot" using original OCLF thinking i didn't need this app anymore being i rooted the phone using usb and one click root when i flashed the cognition rom. Now i actually unrooted the phone and i uninstalled the original oclf and the new version does not let you root. How do i reroot my device? When i follow steps to reroot it has a red screen when im in reboot menu, i believe it is voodoo lag fix gives me many option but i use the power button to select reboot phone since i do not know what to do. Please help thanks!!
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
It may be a pain in the ass, but you may just want to trial the rom. Disable lagfix, get into recovery, install zip from sd.

You will have to restore everything again. Or you can search captivate forum for 2.2 root

Hi all!

I am a new user here. And though i have been poring over the whole LG P500 section, i as a newbie, have not been able to find any linear pattern for starters.

It would be very helpful for newbies like me if ya all Devs can make a repository where one can find

How-To's for modding phone and using different ROM's.

What to do when you first get ur phone.

Important apps.

Tips and Tricks

Etc.

Thanks in advance! :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] zxhian:
each rom for p500 pretty much has a comprehensive guide on how to install, first things first is you need to have a custom recovery for your device, after that all customizations and roms will follow.

One quick note, dont upgrade your Optimus to the latest firmware (2.2.1) if you want to try out the different mods on this thread, otherwise your go on a slight detour.

My Learning Curve was

1. Custom Recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844483

2. AmberHome (first ever ROM i Tried)

3. AmberHome with JIT and Overclock on custom Kernel

AmberHome

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853625

Custom Kernel for Overclock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866774

4. Megatron/Minitron

5. Prime

All infos are pretty much here on this section, just need to piece them all out.

just my two cents :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
1. Root your phone

(google z4root or superoneclick)

why: gives you a deeper access to your phone; allows unbranding as well as installing some useful applications that require root such as titanium backup or adfree. it is also needed for flashing the custom recovery.

2. Flash custom recovery

(look for a sticky of it in this section)

why: allows you to backup and restore your system files. serves as plan b in case you mess up. needed for flashing roms.

3. Flash a ROM

a) AmberHome - 2.2, first ROM

b) Megatron - 2.2, performance-oriented ROM

c) Prime - 2.2.1, stability-oriented ROM

d) Void - 2.2, customizable ROM (modules)

why: faster and snappier than your stock ROM, might also have out of the box useful features for some like apps2sd.

4. Learn about: KDZ, Overclock, ADB, etc.

(navigate in this section)

[Venue Pro General] vastcomm:
I wanted to know how to connect via USB to my cars audio system.

I used this tutorial: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/18/use-your-windows-phone-7-device-as-a-portable-usb-drive/

I can now store and retrieve picture files from the phone but I still cannot play music files on my cars audio system. It seems as if the phone turns off this feature when my cars head unit tries to communicate with it via USB.

I also cannot connect via bluetooth.

I have read that some folks have been successful in implementing this feat. I really dont want to use the headphone jack because I cannot control the phones audio via my head unit. I guess I am looking to set it up legacy style like my previous phones eg iphone, nexus one, milestone etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Venue Pro General] flashpanda:
The portable USB 'trick' doesn't make the device a USB Mass Storage device. It's a client-side registry modification that only makes the device viewable in windows explorer (legacy mode). It's still running its communications over the proprietary MTPz zune-sync protocol. This is why after running the registry modification, you can't just plug your WP7 into another computer and have it pop up, and also why it requires the Zune software to be installed, and to sync up first for it to work.

This is also why it won't/can't work with your USB capable audio system. It has absolutely no ability to do Zune protocol sync (as far as I'm aware, Kenwood made a head unit that could, but I don't know if it works with WP7. I'd doubt it), and despite the misreporting of various sites, your WP7 is not magically now a mass storage device.

Bluetooth may or may not work. I don't know about A2DP support on either your car's head unit, or WP7, and it may be specific to the device/manufacturer as to whether this is present (I have no idea). If bluetooth doesn't work, you're pretty much **** out of luck.

Headphone jack is your best (only) option. I can't recall if the supplied headphone cable has inline media controls. If so, you could probably macguyver that into a line-in cable for your stereo and use the media controls on that. Ghetto, but workable.
