HAHAHAHAHAHA, that's awesome. I probably would too. I am suprised after 2 they didn't just say hey, that's as good as it gets, here's your money back.

Im using some cut yourself screen protectors right now but I ordered these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IN8XQ8/ref=oss_product Realook protectors, Ill review them when they get sent to me =)

Any good matte finish/anti reflective screen protectors? I got the Zagg one from BB, and the screen has just as much glare and reflection as it did with no cover. Waste of $20
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ryocho:
Just want to chime in on the screen protector I just got. FYI I am not affiliate with the seller in any way.

Got a screen protector from stores-dot-ebay-dot-com/Clearfreakmobile for $2.99 earlier this week and it arrived yesterday.

As far as I can tell, the protector is the same type as the other name brand "developed for the military, self healing" type skin like zagg, phantom skinz. Just installed it last night and for the price it's great. Installation is easy cause it's just one big piece on a flat surface. It feels less rubbery than the phantom skinz & the clear protector skin that I had on the previous phone and on my ipod touch; so that's great for the touchscreen. Only down side so far is the size is off just slightly (width of the protector is just a tiny bit shorter than the width of the screen)

Great deal if you plan on getting a case for the rest of the phone and just want a screen protector.

A couple of hours ago I went back to BestBuy and had them change out my Zagg invisibleSHIELD for a new one. After waiting the 2 day period for it to set, I thought it looked pretty good. But over time (the next week of use) I began to notice an annoying 'streaking' effect when viewing any white backgrounds. But it was only on the left half of the screen.

Anyone else notice this?

I'm glad they changed it out for a new one. No hassle at all on their end... but I'm doubtful it'll go away this time. The clerk showed me her iPhone (with a Zagg) and once we surfed to a white webpage, hers showed some of the same effect, but only in one corner/edge.

Maybe it just doesn't bother most people. It's only noticeable when looking at a white screen with high brightness settings... But if that's how it is, the product name is certainly a misnomer. This thing is by no means invisible.

Will update once the replacement screen protector is set.

Meh, I'm keeping the anti glare from sprint on here still.call me lazy, but it's good enough.

Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] emkorial:
Does it reduce/blue the reflection? IE, if you turn the phone off and look at he screen, how clear is your reflection?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] silex:
Actually, it does create this crystal effect with the screen on that seems to make the pixels bigger or more visible or something. With the screen off I can't see any reflection.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] krazyfiend:
+1

until then i'll keep the Zagg one from BB that got installed Jan 6th... they knew they needed to be careful, as I had more knowledge of the phone/hardware spec's/in's and outs than the employees on duty.

the zagg has a bit more drag than I'd like and the slight orange peel ..but it's aligned perfectly w/ no dust or bubbles.

Steinheil's are near perfect imho.

Got my realook protector in the mail

http://www.amazon.com/REALOOK-Sprint-Crystal-Premium-Protector/dp/B004IN8XQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1296173083&sr=1-1

Its freaking great. Only one really sad problem.

It comes with two, so I got it so I could put one on my phone and one on my girlfriends.

So I get my phone all perfectly clean and dust free, pull off the #1 tab and stick it to the screen. I notice that there are a ton of air bubbles. Its not sticking how I expect it so I pull off tab #2 so I can see better and grab a credit card to help smooth it out. Once I start trying to smooth it I notice that the card is sticking quite a bit to the surface.

First thing that went through my head was "Are both sides sticky?". I decide to screw it and pull it off my screen. It realize then that I put it on wrong and they only reason it was sticking at all was because I had such a damn clean surface.

Now I dont know if its just me, but every screen protector of this style that Ive ever bought always had the #1 tab on the sticky side. Why would they want me to pull off the non sticky side first?

Ugh, so I ruined one and need to buy another pair so I can get one on my girlfriends.

Anyways, the screen protector itself is true to its claim. It looks better than do it yourself ones and it fits pretty damn near perfect. Gives a slight room for error when applying, but when its on you can barely see the edges.

A++ if it wasnt freaking backwards on the tabs. (At least backwards in my opinion.)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ralphus4121:
bestskinsever dot com now has the screen protectors for the shift, ordered 2 today (1 for me, 1 for my wife's shift). i've used their stuff before on my blackberry and i like them a lot, pretty similar to zagg's offerings and only $7 each. i'll report back once i have them installed.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] silex:
Do any of the protectors mentioned above cover the entire front surface?

Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wardfan220:
Xtreme Guard

That's the one I use on both mine and my wife's. $2.49 with free shipping, and it gets to my house within 3 days usually.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] adamr240:
I've used them on 2 BB Pearls, my Moment, and my girlfriend's Evo. They are awesome. I'm ordering some now!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Evo_Shift:
I just installed a Seidio screen protector. It covers all of the glass. It feels nice. I would say the only thing I dislike is it smudges a little more than without. $10 each or $15 for two. It doesn't use adhesive and can be taken off and reapplied easily if you spot any dust under it.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] niako:
Xtreme Guard has worked out pretty well for me also. I have Invisible Shield on my Ipad and I haven't seen much of a difference in quality. I've done scratch tests with my nails and keys out of curiosity.. haven't really been brave enough to take a knife to either yet.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ryocho:
Anybody's gotten a front and back skin that would cover the side of the phone? I haven't been able to find one online. So far all the front cover I see only covers the screen, but not the bezel and the side.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] adamr240:
I just ordered the full phone protectors from bestskinsever, I think it comes with them. I'll let you know.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] akmzero:
Got my skinomi in friday, I've used Zagg on my last 3 phones (Blackberry Storm, Motorola Droid, HTC Evo). This is the first time I've used Skinomi, I figured for $11 what the hell. Skinomi > Zagg in every aspect of comparison.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] oboroninja:
I totally agree, the skinomi screen protector is awesome.

powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] riggsandroid:
When I first installed it I was worried that it wouldn't turn out well. However it is great. The only problem I have is that the height of the protector is too short IMO.

The width is a lot closer to the actual width and the height is left approximately 1/16" short. Should be < 1/32".

Still have some minor bubbles under mine but are not noticeable in use. Also the skin seems to get indentations pretty easy, but they disappear after a while..

Overall I am very satisfied with its performance. (Got the screen protector only, not the full body thing)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ralphus4121:
got my bestskinsever screen protector installed finally (it was a bit of a crazy weekend here in green bay so i didn't have time until yesterday morning). it's just as i expected, excellent. incredibly easy to install, had a bit of a crystallization look to it for about an hour, now it's crystal clear. much easier to install than the zaggs in my opinion and no orange peel. can't really go wrong for $7. gonna install my wife's later today and i'm sure it'll go just as well.

plus, i opened the envelope they came in and when i unfolded the invoice there was a gold, hand-written post-it note that said GO PACKERS. nice to see that a real person fills the orders there, they must have seen my address and decided to throw in a personal touch!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] akmzero:
I though it was going to say something else like, thanks for the new house or something lmao
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] nejohnson:
I put a Realook on my wife's Shift without her knowing and 3 days later she hasn't noticed. It is 100% invisible and is not rubbery at all.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ralphus4121:
hahaha that woulda been awesome too!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] G.D.Carter:
I did the same god dang thing with mine. I thought i had accidentally done it backwards with the first one so tried the 2nd one and did the same thing. It said they are washable, so I tried to wash it, but it ended up with water spots on it. I emailed the company and they sent me 2 new ones to replace the ones I had ruined. Now that is great customer service, these things look great nice and clear can't even tell that they are there if you get them aligned correctly. Just make DAMN sure you read the directions and put the correct tab down.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
I purchased and installed the Zagg Max coverage for my shift and I am pretty pleased with it. It covers almost everything, the only part that is not covered (which highly bothers me) is the keyboard ridge. By this I mean the screen, back, and sloped sides on screen section are covered. But the entire keyboard section is not covered, which 9x out of 10 is gonna be where it hits if I drop this thing. But considering the design of the phone I can see it being an issue of how to cover that area when all the buttons, charge port, and overall slope of that area would make installation a total pain in the rear. I am still wanting to slap a case on this thing, which kinda leaves me a little miffed about spending the extra for the max coverage, but I guess if I can find one that will go over the Zagg it will be extra covered :D.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ColeSloth:
Another +1 for Bestskinsever dot com. $11 with shipping for full body. I've used them for years. There's a bit more friction on the screen, but that's one piece so if you find you don't like it you can pull it off and replace it with any other protector you'd like.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] HTCotta:
Those of you with Realook protectors, do they cover the whole glass front? Capactive buttons and all? And if so, how is the fitment around the edges?

Skinomi people, same questions.

Thanks in advance!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] elmerive:
I bought one at my best buy store this week
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] riggsandroid:
Skinomi - has about 2mm around the edges, coves the entire glass front.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ColeSloth:
BestSkinsEver info- Just received and installed "full body" skin from them today. There is no included protection for the side of the phone where the keyboard is at.

Battery cover is fully covered.

Touchscreen is covered top to bottom.

All sides of the display portion of the phone fully covered.

Nothing covered on body portion around sides where keyboard is housed.

Seems there are other "full body" skins out there like this as well.Has anyone found a full skin that covers everything yet?

Outside of this, BSE skin is looking great and has minimal orange peel. went on easy,(use water/soap solution sparingly on smaller portions) and will only look better as the day goes on as it "cures" more. I've always used BSE and been happy with them and how much cheaper they are, along with their fast delivery, but having the keyboard area not included pissed me off so I sent them an E-mail about it. I'll let everyone know if I ever get a reply from em.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wireless.praying.mantis:
No, the HTC EVO EVO Shift 4G does not have the Gorilla Glass by Corning. The only two handsets currently sold by Sprint which does have the Gorilla Glass by Corning as their screens are the Samsung Epic 4G and the Motorola i1.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Matty Mo:
I had the zagg for the evo shift, and i was much more happy with the Seidio Surface guard. i think that these are the best screen protectors ever. cover the whole front part of the phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ColeSloth:
Got an e-mail back from best skins ever and they said their designer left the sides off because they would have peeled away and been hard to install.

Right now it says ot their website that the sides are covored and there's no diagram of the included skin pieces. They are putting a diagram up of included pieces and changing the wording of their description.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] warstoke:
lol i got those point mobile screen protectors from radio shack. i took a dry erase marker overlaid it on top of the front of my shift and marked off the parts of the screen not covered by the case .. the blue black htc one even covering up the home menu etc buttons

even though i had to cut it out my self i have to say it looks marvelous just one small bubble i need to work out but i think it may be tiny piece of lint either way as long as the case stays on i dont see it peeling off unwantedly
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] iczerjones:
Not sure what it is, but for my past several phones, the Zagg InvisibleShield has just been a royal PITA. I find the application terribly difficult to get right, and when you do, I seem to get this sorta hard sorta rubbery, orange-peely, not awesome finish on the screen that I end up tearing off after a few weeks.

Naturally, when I got the Shift I wanted to dress it up and take care of it so I started looking around for a screen protector. I had used a matte finish protector on my boss' Droid X that was simply fantastic. I tend to have clammy hands sometimes and as such, I streak the hell out of touch screens. I ran into this matte finish screen protector again on a coworker's iPhone 4.

After looking around online (since BestBuy had Zagg and.. well.. Zagg) I decided to take a chance on the Splash 'Masque' screen cover. It came with 3 in the package, which is good since I suck at applying them. Bam! Nailed it - first application was perfect, fit is not absolutely to the edge perfect, (1mm, maybe?) but not noticeable in the slightest unless actually looking at the edge and is even throughout. Works beautifully, fingers glide as expected, cleans up easy, does provide some antiglare but does not impede the display.

These worked well for me. If you are looking for easy to apply, matte finish screen protectors, give these a shot.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] evilthx:
I purchased and have been using a Zagg screen protector since the day after I got my Shift... I got it from Best Buy and NO WAY was I paying them $8 to put my protector on. I am going to sound sexist here in a second but that is not my intent, just an observation over many years. There were 3 female workers there one of which would be putting my screen protector on... This was my first hesitation... Electronics + Female = $$$$$ down the drain. Just an observation. The second hesitation was when I ask about getting the shield put on one of the girls said look at hers, I put hers on... so I did... crooked, bubbles and dust... my decision makers was when she said see, it looks good.

I have put shields on before so when I got home I spent no more than 420 seconds from prep to finished install. Guess what, perfect. With the Zagg just make sure your screen is CLEAN. I blocked off the earpiece with my thumb and sprayed the screen, then quickly pealed the film and soaked the exposed side, then set the shield on the screen and aligned it as needed. Sprayed the squeegee that comes in the box with the spray solution that comes in the box and worked out the liquid slowly from center to edge keeping the squeegee wet so it didn't drag. Soaked up the fluid with a lint free cloth and let the phone sit for a bit... like 30 minutes. It was good to go, no dust, no bubbles, no haze. Treat it like window tint.

I only carry this phone in my pocket, screen facing leg and it has never shifted the screen protector, never scratched it or anything negative. Yes it has an orange peal look to it and it drags a bit with anything less than perfectly dry fingers but it sure does what it is supposed to. My girlfriends dog jumped on the couch and put her nail from the top of the screen all the way to the bottom... I was SOOOOO MAD!!! But then I looked at it... not even a mark... just a lone piece of white fur. It's a good screen protector. I would buy one again and again.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] warstoke:
i still like the do-it-yourself point mobile reflective sp.

i ust layed it over the phone and traced it out with a dry erase marker and cut it out with scissors yeah took a few extra steps but it looks good no bubbles
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] linkosffl:
Love this screen protector. Closest thing to Apples anti-glare I've had since my iPhone.

Cheap for 3 protectors, too.

Sent from my phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] complexity1022:
I have had the Zagg invisible shield since i got the phone, i love it =)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] nothinbutnick56:
Yeah I'm actually a Best Buy employee and for a lot of phones we will do pre-installs of 10-20 of them just because so many people will purchase them with zagg shield/case/charger and just bundle it all together pre-installed so you won't have to wait. I have to admit I would've paid $8 to have someone else install it because if you haven't put one on before it's a pain. It took me a LOT of practice to get good at doing it.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] sloppyjoe15:
Just bought some of these and they work pretty well. The anti-glare takes away some of the crispness of the screen, but overall they are good. Had a seido screen protector before I bought these but I managed to put a pretty big scratch on it, which disappointed me since I only had it on for about a week.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] 2Fast2LowCustoms:
The best place to buy screen protectors is Zagg online, alot cheaper than you could get it at BB, shipping is not bad, and I think the installation kit is better sometimes too.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] noskoviak:
Skinomi techskin +1 got the dark wood skin... its not just a sticker guys.. its like if you mixed kevlar and a sticker together. Then u get the techskin... not the easiest to put on but worth the effort. Screen protector crystal clear, very little thumb drag, doesn't pick up fingerprints easily.

If anyone wants to know there are some new screen protectors for evo that are not the sprint ones that only cover parcially the phone ans there about 6 bucks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] x2dazee:
Hi,

I went away for three weeks and before I went off I turned my touch pro 2 off but on return the phone doesnt switch on.

I'm assuming the battery is beyone dead, I have tried wall charge and USB charge and it doesnt register the orange charging light..

But i notice when I plug the usb mini port at the bottom to a charge source the left orange indicator light flickers for a second

Any suggestions, thanks in advance.

Oops wrong thread please move as neccessary
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Try leaving your phone on the wall charger (USB is not enough) for several hours (overnight at least) and try to power on again. I've seen a few people that drained their battery too low, and got it working again that way. Otherwise you may need a new battery.

Preview of Defy running Sense 2.0 (android 2.2)

[YOUTUBE]l9AO83mFywk[/YOUTUBE]

I will probably get a DEFY soon, and am thinking of porting my milestone release of MotoFroyoSense for this model..

so the question is, if there is any interest in having Sense on DEFY?

it will probably lack the Bluetooth functionality, as the handling is too hard to port for milestone hardware. but otherwise check the milestone thread, you get more details there...

I guess the Rosie launcher reload totally dissappear here, when we got 512MB memory to work with, which should help out.

i don't know partition sizes, so how much space is free on the different partitions depends on the layout, Sense was a 400MB+ release on htc desire Z :-)

update: 23-jan-2011

I got hold of a defy, and managed so far to get it ported, so phone + wifi works...

its based on the 2.2 kernel (chinese kernel) + HTC DesireZ

ill keep this updated until its ready for release...

update: 23-jan-2011 update2

I read that defy do not normally get 2000+ in quadrant scores, so i thought i would make a brief preview of the startup + really quick slider of menu + benchmarking.

[Defy Android Development] Simplestas:
That will be insanely good if it ever works stable. Very interested in having more languages too.
[Defy Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
- so defy suffers the same problem as milestone stock fw? only uk, france, etc? 4-5 langs?

- what about radio/baseband drivers, are those also an issue for users? would one image require patching with different baseband drivers? (havent followed defy threads much yet)

anyways ill find out in a weeks time i think...

When i got something stable running, ill probably post it, if i find it acceptable..
