@ Blue Acid - which Seattle kiosk do you work at?
[Nexus S Accessories] distortedloop:
Invisible Shield will greatly reduce the slipperiness of the phone. I have on on the back only of my i9000 for that reason (and to stop the scuffs).

I don't find the Nexus S all that slippery, though. It's not as prone to dropping as my i9000 was.
[Nexus S Accessories] DJTaurus:
Ι also used to have a Galaxy S and was so so slippery...the back cover of Nexus S isnt it the same with Galaxy's s?

Also i am curious if the screen protector of BSE will reduse screen's responsiveness and colour intensity.....?
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
Its not that slippery, but it definitely doesn't have much grip. Its not soft-touch but its not that horrible. It is glossy plastic.
[Nexus S Accessories] dinan:
I had a Vibrant... the nexus S is the exact same plastic so it'll feel just like your Galaxy S. And ya, the Vibrant slipped out of my hands a few times, the Nexus S as well but I was able to catch it every time. I know one time I won't be so lucky so I'm looking into some sort of way to make the phone grippier... thinking either ghost armor of the skinomi CF thing.
[Nexus S Accessories] DJTaurus:
From what i read BSE's skin is as good Skinomi's and Zagg's skin and it costs a lot less....only main cons are durability and orange effect in some angles.....so i will stay with skin + pounch until case mate release a proper hard case...gel cases add bulk and in my opinion curved s case and skinomi rear hard skins are angly.
[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
I don't work for GA. I'm just a loyal user. I went to the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood.

The piece that goes around the the side of the phone is the only piece that bugs me just a little. Not enough for me to not have it on though. I can feel the edge of it if I run my finger over it.

I really have to stop putting keys and such in the same pocket that I put my phone. The protector does a fantastic job, but there are a couple of good pokes that have caused slight dents in the protector.

Oh well. I'm still waiting for an Otterbox as an alternative. I have both for my Nexus one.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
Just got this last night. Overall experience is very good. Looks great, feels great. I think Ghost Armor did a great job on this product because cutouts are near perfect. The cutouts cover everything except the front lining of the bezel (the part that is facing you). There is even a small circular cutout for the camera lens! It is hardly noticeable once the micro bubbles are easing out. Feels like texting is a bit more responsive too, with this particular screen texture. The cover has a bit of orange peel texture to it, but no where near as bad as zagg or case-mate. As a result, you get a clearer view, with slightly better slip resistance.

The best thing about this is if you have a local kiosk, you could always instant exchange for a different armor if yours begins to wear out with the lifetime warranty. Not too bad for $25.
[Nexus S Accessories] Moshie07:
Would you guys recommend the ghost armour?
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
Yes.
[Nexus S Accessories] terra_droid:
That would be such an epic fail had there been no hole for the camera. LOL
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
I think he means there's also a small piece of skin for the camera lens.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
Its donut shaped. No worries lol.
[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
No piece for camera. It is cut out around the camera.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
Not really sure you're trying to say, but for the glass part of the camera there is a donut shaped cutout to cover the glass part but not the camera itself.
[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
What you said peeturr. Was trying to say something along those lines. I really shouldn't drink and post at the same time.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
<3
[Nexus S Accessories] terra_droid:
some of the most creative (even if sometimes unusual) comments arise from that combo. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] x4-FAo:
Can anybody confirm if ghost armor covers the front bezel?
[Nexus S Accessories] ctai320:
Aren't you guys worried that you'll scratch the lens in front of the camera? Is it gorilla glass? I would rather have a piece on top of the lens
[Nexus S Accessories] reflux:
it does not. just the sides of the bezel.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
There's a donut piece for the camera lens that covers the glass but not the camera hole.
[Nexus S Accessories] Si_NZ:
How does Ghost Armor hold up against finger prints? I find my Martin Fields pretty bad, in fact it's pretty hard to wipe clean. I'm thinking of getting Ghost Armor instead.
[Nexus S Accessories] peeturr:
Its just as bad as any screen protector. But when its clean it looks nice and feels nice.
[Galaxy 3 General] aalekh87:
Hi,

I am using Galaxy 3 I5801 with Android 2.1.

I browsed the internet and found confusing opinions about push email on my device.

All I want to know is:

1. Can I use Push email on my Galaxy 3 just like I use on a Blackberry

i.e. I pay a fixed charge for unlimited email receiving and sending to my service provider(airtel) on my device. However, this charge does not cover any Internet browsing (GPRS) charges.

2. Can I configure my corporate email account (not gmail or yahoo) on to my phone using push mail?

Hope my question is valid and understood.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
yes you can, in the email app. i have my college email configured (had it on eclair and have it now on jpb)

there are also other apps that support corporate accounts, like k9. though i havent tried any
[Galaxy 3 General] aalekh87:
thanks for the reply

thanks for the reply mate.

what I understood out of this is that

1) I contact Airtel (my service provider) and ask them to activate push email on my connection and tell them the plan that I want.

2) configure my corporate email account on my galaxy 3 using K9 or like application

Is this the way to go?
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Im not sure about step 1, since I am not in the same situation (I dont have a special service for email - I use "regular" internet). I do think that if you are already paying for it that you dont have to, but you there is no risk in contacting airtel, is there, so why not contact them?
[Galaxy 3 General] vj2011:
I am , as well, facing issues configuring my corporate exchange email account on Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801.

1. I have a monthly GPRS plan (from Vodafone).

2. In order to configure the email account, I entered the email id and password,

3. I opt for the exchange account option.

4. I enter the domain\userid and password ( password is pre-populated)

5. I then enter the outlook web acess URL of my corporate exchange server and then it tries to get the incoming server settings. Doesn

t work - Get an error message " Unable to open connection to the server"

6. I then re try with the exchange server details ( as configured in my PC outlook client), it tries to get the incoming server settings. Doesn

t work - Get an error message " Unable to open connection to the server"

7. I have tried with all combinations of uppercase / lowercase - no luck at all.

8. Interestingly the google mail which gets auto-configured works well !!!

Can I get some help please ?
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
My experience:

in the email app:

1.add account

2.email addres:

borisivan.babic@student.fsr.ba

Password:

********** (you are not getting that :P)

3. next-> exchange account ->

4. I then get:

Domain user name:

\borisivan.babic

Password:

**********

Exchange server:

student.fsr.ba

use secure check

accept all not checked.

5. I change

domain user name to

borisivan.babic@student.fsr.ba

and

Exchange server to:

pod51007.outlook.com

and it works for me.

Dunno about your exact server setup, so you might have to put something else instead of pod51007.outlook.com however, if it is from microsoft try that.
[Galaxy 3 General] vj2011:
Thanks mate !

Tried the "pod51..." server details too , unfortunately it doesn't work, I will have to check with the system admin team within my organization to get the server details.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
np. you should be able to find it yourself, after you login on your pc. though im not sure i can help you that much with that.

Hmm.. my history of gaming goes something like this:

Pong -> Atari 2600 -> Intellivision -> (Quarter Arcade Games) -> Sega Genesis -> Nintendo -> Super Nintendo -> Dreamcast -> N64 -> then off to PC Games

Quake -> Quake II - Unreal Tournament -> Half Life -> Counter Strike -> Team Fortress -> UT 2002/03/04 -> Battlefield 1942 -> DC Mod -> Battlefield 2 -> Ultima Online -> Wow

Used to LAN and was able to get all sorts of free gear etc.

Nowdays.. playing on the PS3 casually - just started playing Black Ops - and oooooo boy do I suck at it :( Dunno wth happened went from MW2 to BO and its like I might as well be playing with Oven Mitts :mad:

Yea, a big time gamer from WAAAy back (I even have 5 classic full size arcade games incuding a Ms. Pac and a Star Wars cockpit).

Got em' all PC, PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP, and a bunch of other older and cool systems.

I prefer my games on a PC when I can, Just went through Black Ops about 2 weeks ago. Got a Kinect for Xmas, so have been screwing around with that, but, before that, was playing Super Mario Galxay 2, Epic Mickey, Read Dead and a few others.

I'm in the middle of about 4-5 games right now (not finished yet). My wife does not care for gaming and sometimes gives me a hard time but, she understands it. My 2 year old is just too little to grab a controler but, I figure by 3 and 1/2 I'll have someone to play with besides on-line.

Any shooter GTA, COD, or any game of the type, I will only play on the PC, I even waited the 7 months for GTA 4 just to get the PC version.

I have a Core2Quad @ 3ghz(Q9650), 4gb, GTX460 1gb card running Win7...runs almost everything at max that I dump at it.

Well, my recent renaissance with PC gaming was due to a planned upgrade cycle... I was shopping for a GPU when I found out that the 6950 can be unlocked to 6970 with just a BIOS flash... only thing holding it back now is the voltage availability and overclocks. So I'm gonna go for all the cool DirectX 11 games and wait... for Crysis 2.

And no, I will NOT give up my guitars and my bass. They are my loverlies, and my first passion before I started completely geeking out. Believe it or not, I slept hugging my bass when I first started...

No not back to 1.6, just the first 2.1. When you have done that root it like usual and then flash the modified update that is pre-rooted.

Hope you have backups? When you get your phone right create a backup with xrecovery, it makes things so much easier.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Hey XperiaX10iUser,

I'm sure you know about the new update for X10a. Seeing that you've worked with Z, do you have any insider info on if/when/where there will be a rooted xRecovery method to update and also for your ROM? If you do one for X10a, would you consider using 1234-4836? It has voice search stock. Seeing that we aren't getting Froyo or Gingerbread, and google voice search is 2.2 in Market/app brain.

Did you try letting xRecovery install them for you first? Once xRecovery apk is installed on your phone go into your app drawer and open xRecovery and click install. Will get 3green check marks and done.

Install manually: You need to get Root Explorer from Market and set to R/W to get write permissions to copy jar files from sdcard and to destination folder.

Dear All Friends;

I tried to cook my roms for about 6 months, and I have some good progess, but the only thing that I can not fix is, that I could not add persian(Or arabic) language support to roms, and this is because of the nature of the languages, I do not need the roms to show any menu or anything in persian, but I want them to support the characters and show them good.

The persian need characters to be connected and written from right to left, but in any rom that you COPY just FONTS, the rom just shows the characters in not proper format.

After many researches I found that language related files are, libskia, libskiagl and webcore in libs folder, so I tried to use these libs files and copy them from A rom that support these well to my rom, but after doing this, the rom does not run properly and stoped at the HTC logo at the starting of the cellphone in HTC SPLASH SCREEN... :(

I do not know what should I do..

If any one knows anything about this, please help me..

Any help has been appreciated...
[Android] mercury700ir:
The way to import is:

1- Add your language ( here persian ) to System/Fonts ( maybe you need to replace with the existed fonts. )

2- In some languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian) you need to have the usefull LIBSKIA, LIBSKIAGL and WEBCORE in your system/libs to support the characters that you added in first step, correctly.

The problem:

I tried to add the LIBSKIA, LIBSKIAGL and WEBCORE from a rom that supports the Persian and Arabic well to this folder in my own rom that did not support those well.

BUT, After installing rom in cellphone, It did not go to HomeScreen and freezed in HTC SPLASH SCREEN that showed in rom installing time.

I do not know how can I use them, please some one help me...

Guys,

I heard from android developers that HarfBuzz (which used in chrome for complex layout) will be used in honeycomb. So most probably all the languages that Chrome/Chromium support will be supported in honeycomb. Hope some one could port this to 2.1 2.2 2.3 also. I don't know weather the source is available yet.

[Android] maxmyo:
well i have tried that too it doesnt work

i think only 2 developers were succesful in doing that

ayman el snd in his web site ardoid .com he makes a custom .zip flashable file for each rom specifically and you are right this 2 lib files (libwebcore.so & libskia.so)are modified and also framework.jar

so its rom specific not in general

and there were an arabic developer here on xda which provided cyanogen with arabic support in his latest roms so any rom based on cyanogenmod rom latest supports arabic but limited only to messaging and you have to install smart keyboard and arabic keyboard for smart keyboard so you can write arabic

and for browser the only way to show arabic letters properly is installing persian browser which fixes the problem after each page loads

ofcourse its partial solutions

i would love to help on anyway to provide a way to custom edit the lib files of any rom just needs DEVs here to point the way how to edit such files
[Android] mercury700ir:
Thanks man...

You helped me so much.. ;)

You mentioned that those lib files that the aymen el snd made is not for a specific device, Am I Right???

It means we can use them in our roms, but how does this possible?? Each rom needs its own libs, how can we use one lib for all the devices?? (Would you please talk about it more? and which version of roms do these libs support? (2.2 ,2.1 or 2.3)
[Android] maxmyo:
well what i'm said that he is making a .zip file for each rom release he is always up to date with new releases of roms like the OTA roms and cyanogenmod roms

you can check his website for more details of the supported devices and roms

he made a generic .zip file but that mostly doesnt work

what i have learned that he gets the lib files source code of a certain rom and then add the arabization codes then compile the lib files so the lib files would be identical to the ones in the rom + arabization snippets of code

i'm glad to help you in anyway

i really want to have more time to investigate that but i dont for now
[Android] mercury700ir:
Thanks a lot for your attention...

I saw his web page, and find what he did...

unfortunately I did not find anything for HTC Legend, so I need to do what you said myself, if I want to do this for legend..

At least, can anyone tell me, how can we open .SO files in library?? ( I mean, how can we open for example, libskia.so or ... and again repack them..??? )
