All that is is a theme, they are not really 3d. Check out the darkness theme if i remember right
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mikejames07:
I know its not 3d and it's not just a theme someone made, it's how the vibrant roms come stock. Captivate roms use matte panels.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Well I am glad they came that way but there are themes floating around that look just like that. I ran one awhile back that had the menus like that. Do a search for glossy black. Have a look here.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] mikejames07:
Lol wow, you aren't understanding me. I don't need a link to a Vibrant custom theme. The stock Vibrant Rom has what I need. What I'm asking is if the people who make themes out here know what files I need to replace in my Captivate framework to make it look like this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
No I am understanding you, I am leading you to what you want to know, Most of the time it is not as simple as replacing one or 2 files, there are XML edits that might need to be done. Plus it depends on what rom you are running for not all the framework files are the same. The reason I linked you to it was so you could find your answer from someone that has made the theme and can point you in the right direction. Might not want to be so rude when asking for help. I will go back to my theming of the captivate dialer now. good luck to you

No idea, I was trying to install some dictionaries in spanish from the market... but I cannot use those in the eBook reader..

Try Project Gutenberg, They have many different languages, websites in foreign countries and everything is free. Just DL the correct file type for your reader and make sure it is in the right folder.
[Nexus S General] rborg:
It has been about 20 days. Has anyone got an opinion on whether I should go back and add the insurance for 100? I am in Canada, so it isn't a quick trip.

I'm actually seeing some hard spots that look like dirt on the screen but I suspect the are the coating wearing off.

Seems this is fixed in newer versions of the phone.

Any thoughts on extended warranty and/or the screen?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Check SquareTrade.com see if they offer warranty service to Canada. It's cheaper and better than in store warranties.

-Nexus S
[Nexus S General] Loggerhead87:
Squaretrade looks pretty good. Do you have any experience with them? Is it a legitimate operation?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
I dont recommended the Best Buy insurance, maybe its just but ive had nightmares when it comes to filing a warranty claim with them, They just try and give you the run around
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
How much is the Best Buy insurance? They didn't offer it to me, and I probably would have said no, but I see people say $99/$100 even though checking the Best Buy website just now shows it at $169 for 2 years. That's an awful lot for a insurance that doesn't cover loss/theft.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i believe for cell phones its monthly. like 10 bucks
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
It's legit. They reimubursed me full retail value for a water damaged iphone. I could tell they didnt want to and tried to be shady about it but at the time the way their contract was worded they had no choice.

I didnt take it personally because I only paid like $50 for the contract and for them to pay $600 out on a device that cost me $200 out of pocket surely annoyed them.
[Nexus S General] ritcereal:
Well when I looked at it, the only difference between the two plans is that the BB plan doesn't specifically state they insure full immersion in liquid where Square Trade does. Drop your Nexus in the ocean then your effed on the BB plan, but not on Square's.

As far as the pricing, it is $9.99 a month and you can only add it within the first 30 days (same as SquareTrade). So the Best Buy model is basically double, however you do have the flexibility to stop paying BB if for instance you buy another phone at any time where as if you use SquareTrade you've already paid for all of your two years regardless of how long you own or wish to protect that specific phone.

I chose the Best Buy Black Tie simply based upon convenience of getting a new phone quicker, though I'm not certain how that works, it just appears to me that it would/could be same day?

Also apparently you can do the Black Tie protection online as well so that's a possibility for the OP specifically.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Actually you can receive a prorated REFUND on your SquareTrade warranty ANY TIME you want if you sell the phone or don't want the warranty anymore, you can also transfer it to another user!
[Nexus S General] ritcereal:
Ah thanks for that bit!
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
So they gave you a really hard time? My phone isnt past its 30 days but I have a dim back button and compared to my best friends wife's phone, the screen is really gray and banded. Also the platinum case scratched it and either way I want to replace it. I have the black tie protection and paid close to six hundred for the phone and 35 for the scratchy case and another 30 for the invisible shield. It sucks that I want to repalce the phone yet again but for the 700 I've shelled out on this thing, it should at least be perfect from the start.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The other stuff, yeah, exchange the phone for a bad backlit button or wonky display, but I don't get the platinum case thing. That's your fault, or the case maker's, not Samsung's.

You purchased a 3rd party case which was poorly designed and it damaged your phone's back and think that Samsung/Best Buy are to blame and should have to replace your phone for it?

Isn't that a bit like saying that if you bought a Ford, then slapped on an aftermarket strap-on luggage rack or bike carrier that scratched the paint that Ford should have to let you exchange the car? An extreme example, but the same concept.

Sounds kind of outrageous, doesn't it? ;)

Unless of course scratches on the battery plate are covered as a repairable item under your black tie warranty, which I doubt.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
The case has scratched the bezel so that's not easily repaired I wouldn't think.

Also, I agree its not Sammy's fault for the scratches but the other stuff yes. Also, the phone is sold exclusively by best buy and the case is best buys line of cases, the only one out until now. I wouldn't feel bad at all using the all inclusive (minus loss or theft) black tie thing that I pay for. If they won't let you even use it that's just free money for them and makes it a scam.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yeah, if the extended warranty covers stuff like scratches, go for it. Those warranties are almost 100% profit for the seller.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
OK, kudos to best buy. They have been awesome to me with the n's, especially with what so.e might think is paranoia. After the case scratches and banding I exchanged mybphone for another. They didn't hassle me at all and after everything I would surely buy from them again. They were great. Unfortunately even though best buy online said they were tmo vendor, they are not. The last phone they had didn't have the creased glass, so I took it. Seems like my last phone was a gem. This one seems more washed out but im tired of fighting. After all the wrangling. It seems there's no such thing as a perfect phone, at least after my g1. A lot of the problems can be blamed on the rush to get gingerbread out for this phone.
[Nexus S General] carolinaguy99:
I went to exchange mine after seeing the crease in the glass isnt supposed to be there, of the 24 devices my local store had, every one had it. :(
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
It's not? Mine has it up top bbut not at the bottom. Ah oh well.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
Well I have to hand it to best buy mobile. Not to rag on the parent company but the mobile employees are a cut above normal best buy. Even the ones in the store are a separate entity like magnolia. Since my last post I have returned my phone two more times. The dim back button led to a new one with a dead pixel. The only problem I had was that they claimed that its one replacement per 30 day period. They still helped me out and got me a new one. They seem to genuinely care and gave excellent customer service, even with a picky person like myself.

Unfortunately this store had an entire batch of creased glass screens. I took one anyway as I had to drive a long way to find one that activated tmo. I did this because the other ones in the area were the ones with min availability. They also told me that the ones they had at the place I got mine were their second batch of phones which made me believe they would be less problematic. This one seems OK but the keyboard is acting strange. Its been less than 24hours since I put on my ghost armor so hopefully the sensitivity is just temporarily affected. My last one had the zagg one which was much thicker and had no sensitivity problems so I'm optimistic that this one will clear up.

I also learned that you need to ensure that the place you do an exchange with needs to correctly transfer your black tie protection if you do an in store 30 day exchange. I learned mine was still pegged to my very first one and they had to call up geek squad and fix the problem so that if I did use the warranty that I could actually make a claim.

Has anyone else been told that you can only do one exchange?
[Nook Color General] Billyheshn:
Ok so I am an idiot. I rooted my nook color. I just isntalled clockworkmod recovery. I wanted to restore to original settings to return it and so I went to the settings and chose erase and deregister device. That was fine. But root was still there so I went to wipe/factory restore in clockworkmod. I know, bad move. Well now I can't register the device and when I try to connect to the android marketplace it says data connection error. And if I try to erase and deregister it says that it's not registered. Also have tried holding down the power button, +vol and n button to get the reset menu but doesnt work. The nook still works.. connects to wifi, internet, everything works.. just want to get to original settings so I can return it. Please help, obviously I am noob at this. I don't know if I got a recovery somewhere else and restored if that would work. If so please throw me a bone here. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I think what you need is in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896682

Since your NC is booting and somewhat working, I think you can get the stock recovery (I think there is someone in the linked thread that can supply you with the stock recovery) and adb it. Clockwork has replaced your stock recovery.
[Nook Color General] Billyheshn:
Didn't see a link for the stock recovery. Is there a chance to get a backup somewhere put it on my sd card and restore my nc so I at least have functionality?
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Do this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10599116&postcount=14
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Not exactly. It was stated that one of the devs was working on a restore in the form of an update.zip that would be run through clockwork.

What was available was a copy of the stock recovery file. There are a couple of folks that were providing it as a Private Message. Go through that thread and find who it was and pm them for the file. You can then install that file and reset your NC to stock and re-register it. They, if you wish, re-root it and start over.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] huCarlisle1:
Why return it?

If you really must return it, just run the battery down so that the cashier at the store can't tell its rooted and return it. The people at the NOOK counters are not trained tech people, and they do not check returns to see if any tinkering has been done under the hood. They just put them in a box and send them back to the distributor. As long as you are within the return timeframe (14 days with a receipt) there won't be any questions.
[Nook Color General] Billyheshn:
Thanks for all the help
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
I can tell you that plenty of people had them check the functionality, and ask that the defect be demonstrated.

This is certainly true at Best Buy where they power it up run through the menus etc..
[Windows Phone 7 General] sahirhussain:
it happened a week ago.

i loved the 5 inch real estate on the streak but the buggy android and a constant zeal to make it functional made me realise that i was spending too much time reading online guides/how to's/tips n tricks. i realised that i was trying to create a 'perfect' smartphone which as we all know could not exist as there is no such thing as perfection but only improvement.

i am a lawyer and whenever i was not in court i was spending time online to read about the ways i could make the android on my streak function that much better (LOL if i had spent that much time on my cases, i wouldve made some money). then suddenly it hit me. i was not enjoying my smartphone, i was just applying more and more tweaks on it so that i could enjoy it tomorrow but that tomorrow never came. this is my biggest gripe about android. it lacks the finesse which a good OS should have. compare it to wp7 and you will see what i mean. why should i spend all my time doing which should have already been done before releasing the software.

android has more than 80k applications in the market but half of them are cheap good for nothing fart apps or tip calcs or.......then from the remaining half almost a third do not run on streak (and i am sure its the same for everyone). such fragmentation only leads to frustration when you realise you have bought an application which cannot run on your device.

smartphones are consumption devices meant for enjoyment/recreation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Welcome to Windows Phone 7, I like you am a convert from Android, I like you have stopped spending my days trying to find tweaks to "finesse" my phone, I like you now use my smartphone to help manage my days, consume media and keep in touch with the people that are important to me, no going back!

[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Masterfully spoken... Feels great to have the kinks ironed out for you... It's great to see more and more of these threads...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
hmm,

perfection ? nope

fragmentation ? get iphone

maturity ? iphone

entertainment ? iphone

apps ? iphone

consumption device ? android, ios, wp7 doesn't really matter here

hmm, you called android a waste of time wwith its level of maturity. didn't even mention ios... and wp7 hasn't even had a .1 release yet, where's the logic ?

did microsoft smash one out of the park or what ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Iphone loses in more ways than android, hardware selection? 3.7 inch screen or bust, too smal for touchscreen only. It's completely bland which is hard to say when I use an OS which has a selling point on that very subject. It's apple which means it has to sync with a bunch of just awful software. There is a 100 percent lack of freedom in the market (not that WP7 is much better but they have allowed adult games.) Essentially they run the whole smartphone experience for you like you're 4 years old.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
ok

ok...

I was wondering how you would respond. the biggest criticisms of android here are usually "fragmentation" and "ugly". now its not fragmentation... but "choice of hardware". ok, I can dig it.

the markets aren't much different in principle. anyone can make (and be accepted) on android, harder on wp7, insane on ios.

I'm waiting for the video of a streak or gtablet being used as a phone (hilarious) as big as they are.

I wonder what law library apps you'll be looking for on wp7, or encryption to keep client info safe ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Oh, I'm not the lawyer. I'm just a diehard phone addict who happens to have fallen in love with WP7. I used a streak for a couple weeks, had clearer sound than any other phone I'd ever had except for the venue pro. IT felt good against my ear, I didn't feel like I was going to drop it like most new phones. Iphones are too tiny for me... the screens are miniscule for someone with gamer thumbs. If they dolled up iOS a bit and put it on a bigger screen itd... well it'd be almost as good as WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
Is it just possible that someone could like some aspects of Android (choice of handsets), but also some aspects of iOS (consistent, easy, and smooth)?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
Of course not. What type of phone would we get if we had such blasphemy lol, a Windows Phone? Get out of town you crazy man. You're so crazy.

Can't describe how refreshing it is not to have to completely customize my damn phone. Never thought I'd say it, though as I enjoyed it somewhat.

Picked up the Focus with a strong expectation that I'd return it. Nope. Tried the Captivate, too, but preferred WP7. Might pick up a captivate to play with if I get the tinkering bug...

[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Hey guys,

So I have been running supernova 1.04 (dk28) rfs, since it was posted here on xda(didn't look up date) a month or so back. Everything has been great up to the standards we have been given so far, however recently it seems like my radio resets(chime noise, no signal sign, then signal again) a lot more often if it should at all. I thought that it might just be a jacked up cell site near my house, but its been happening at work too. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to affect my data, voice, or wifi. I have yet to drop a call because of it. Just curious if I should worry about it being a hardware issue or just due to unfinished software/radio? Thx folks!
[Epic 4G General] mrzood:
Might try reflashing the dk28 modem. I was having problems like that when I was running DK28. It eventually would completely crash so I ended up going back to 2.1. I could never get the FroYo leak to be completely smooth no matter what I tried.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Could this be a problem with local cell towers or is this purely phone/software issue?
[Epic 4G General] mrzood:
Most likely a phone issue.
[Epic 4G General] viperacr99:
I am running the same rom and sometimes I hear it make a sound and when I look the signal bars are replaced with a no signal icon, it usually goes back to normal quickly.

But it did this when stock as well so I figure it is a bug in the radio driver.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I can confirm this on 2.1 as well. Can't be too sure but I think it lasted until I got a replacent Epic. It could have been the tower and a complete coincidence but the old phone did it non stop. The new one has very rarely done it on both eclair and froyo. Anyone who experiences this should consider something as well. Did it start after a prl update because it came back after my update to 60674. Lost my 3g as well. Reverting to prl 60671 fixed it but this is NOT a guaranteed fix just worked for me.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
I thought that I had seen a post before about prl updates, but I wasn't sure that the two were connected. How does on go about reverting prl updates, or maybe a link on how to? Thx for the feedback guys much appriceated, as my wife says I would be lost without my "other woman" lol.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Ok, some people were confused as to what my problem was with my other post, They thought it was a performance lag issue; possibly due to low memory. So I am reposting, I am also making it a poll, as some mentioned that a downgrade fixed this behavior on there units.

I have noticed my touch screen does not have smooth response in apps. To confirm I downloaded a app that tests mulitouch; I used "multitouch vis test".

When moving my finger quickly, or swiping, the finger tracking of the touchscreen seems fine. The problem arises when moving slowly or making small movements of less than 10 pixels; that is when you can see that the touchscreen does not track smoothly. You can see the output on the screen stay in one position as you slowly move your finger, then suddenly jump several pixels. It repeats this process as you continue to move slowly, often times the output on the screen is still lagging behind your finger. (it is not centered under your finger even after the jump) This happens even on a fresh boot, and I have tried the touchscreen calibration several times.

Overall it seems like the touch detection is low resolution, and can not detect fine/small movements. If the ones claiming it is dependent on firmware version are correct, then this could be fixed by Archos. If I get enough responses to the poll, I will contact Archos if the results point in that direction. If this is a fairly rare issue, then I know my A70 is defective.

Edit: From the responses here, it seems that the display can detect point touch to a very fine degree. The problem is that the movement detection algorithm is low resolution; the device has to detect movement of several pixels before outputting that movement. That means it can be fixed within software. (unless it is built into the touch screen controller chip)

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awink1:
Hi all,

I don't know if this is of any relevance to the problems you guys are experiencing, but I thought the screen of my 101 was broken.

The problem was, me coming from a different china tablet with resistive screen, that I was applying far too much pressure to the screen and capacitive screens don't respond well to that.

These screens need almost feather light touch and are very, very responsive and the tracking (at least on my 101) is excellent.

I hope this helps...
