yes.. guess they are having no idea of the free publicity we are giving them here...

else they would make an effort to serve better :)
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
I am updating the status of this thread. I called Skinomi today and, after calling their customer service line 6 or 7 times, I got through to someone, instead of the voice mail they really wanted me to use.

I explained the situation and the female that helped me was pleasant and told me that she would ship out the correct skin right away. I explained that I needed it by Friday since I am moving on Saturday and the snail mail they send it in normally would not have made it to me in time. She told me that they are not able to ship it any faster than their normal free shipping option, unless I choose it when I purchased it. I politely told her that she was incorrect and that of course they could send it through 2-day shipping. She began to stumble over her words and then told me she would talk to her manager.

So the manager, Alex, got on the phone and he asked that I take a picture of the skin I received so that they can see what skin is being shipped by accident. After explaining the skin to him he figured out that the skin I received was the Archos tablet skin. He then told me that they would ship out the correct skin within an hour or two and that I could count on getting it within 1-2 days. I thanked him very much and that concluded the conversation. The test will be in 2 days whether or not I get the skin or not. I have dealt with a few companies before that tell me they will ship it as 2-day and then never do. I hope Skinomi is better than that.

I will keep you all updated.
[G Tablet Accessories] watson540:
youve given me the idea to call them tomorrow. I think their shipping sucks..I ordered last week from them..wednesday..on friday i ordered some stickers from androidstickers to go with the skin..guess which came first??!!! yeah androidstickers beat them and skinomi had a two day head start..both are on the west coast..Ridiculous..They gave me a tracking number that still shows no movement!!

Done with skinomi, thats just unacceptable
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
Updating: It is the 2nd day of the 1-2 days that Alex from Skinomi told me it would take for my correct skin to get to me and I received nothing. It seems that this Alex guy from Skinomi was blowing smoke up my arse. I am sad for this because I will never recommend Skinomi to anyone, regardless of how nice the skin is when it finally gets to me. I have been using my Tablet sparingly for fear that I might scratch up the screen before I get the skin on it. Now I only hope that I get the skin before I move on Saturday. It is going to be even more of a let-down if I have to wait for the shipment to be redirected to my new house, 220 miles away.

So let this thread be a warning to anyone contemplating purchasing a Skinomi product. You might order the correct item but there is no guarantee you will get the correct one and then you will be forced to wait even longer for the correct item to be reshipped to you, and that is if you can make it through to someone on the phone. Otherwise you will have to wait for their ridiculously slow response time via e-mail.

I will update this thread when I do finally receive my correct item but anyone following this thread might be waiting a few extra days for that to happen.
[G Tablet Accessories] richdm:
I ordered mine on 1/19/2011 and received it on the 24th. I fit very well. The holes for the camera and light sensor were right on.
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
It sounds like a "crap-shoot" with them. I do not think I have been this unhappy with a company's customer service in a long while.
[G Tablet Accessories] watson540:
You're not alone...they gave me false promises too..been waiting since the 18th for my order and nothing but bunk tracking numbers is what they give me
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
A quick update, even though I have not received my "correct" order.

I called Skinomi since I did not receive my order yet in order to see if they really did send it 2nd day mail, like Alex from Skinomi claimed he would send it. Guess what? They did not. George, the manager that talked to me, said it was through the normal USPS priority mail, the same as my first order that took 5 days to get to me. I asked George why they did not send it 2nd day like I was told they would and he informed me that they cannot do that. I then asked him why they could not.

They are within the US so they should have access to UPS or FedEx delivery. What baffles me the most is that this George guy told me he would refund my order total completely ($24.95). So they can send out a replacement order and then when they screw that up they can refund my order but they cannot pay the money to send the replacement order through 2nd or even 3-day mail? Then as this guy was ending the call he says to me, before I can retort, that in the future if I need the item in 2-days that I should choose the 2nd day shipping when I make the purchase. If he would not have hung up I would have cussed him out. I would not have to worry about the shipment getting to me on-time if they would have sent the correct item in the first place. The 2nd day mail request came when I realized that I would not get the replacement in-time for my move downstate.

This company has their priorities ass-backwards. I plead with anyone that plans on getting a skin from this company to please stay away from them.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
It is unfortnate that an employee must have mispoken and promised 2nd day or overnight service. The reality is, next day service would cost them more than the $15 that they recieved for the goods. Shipping costs eat the majority of profit on these small items these days if they have to be shipped any other way than 3 day priority mail / flat rate box etc. UPS and Fed Ex are going to run close to $20 for minimum overnight shipment. I have a small mail order business and not including the $7 drop ship fee I pay the vendor (I can not afford to stock the items) the cheapest UPS shipping on a one pound box anywhere even close to the source is a minimum of $9 and as much as $12. I only charge $10 shipping which means that I pay close to $18 shipping on an item that I pay $30, sell (have to be competative) for $59 plus $10 shipping. So bottom line is I make about $21 gross before advertising and web site fees. If someone wants to return something and I then have to ship a replacement, that eats up shipping again both ways and everyone loses money!

That all having been said, they need to speed up their shipping. It sounds like they are vending out this product and just re-selling them when they get the order and may not even stock them. Why else would it take so long? That means that most of their cost is in the shipping tube and postage! Not much margin on $15.00 gross sales price.
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
This is through Skinomi themselves. I recognize that shipping it a decent cost but that should simply be a motivator for getting the order right the first time. What it really comes down to is that they shipped the wrong item, not just to me but many others, and they must eat the cost that is associated with their mess-up.

I own my own computer repair business and if I make a mistake while building a computer I do not charge the customer the price for a second hard drive or CPU (whatever the damage item might be). I also do not charge them for the extra time it took me to reinstall the new component. I eat the cost. I might even give them a discount for their time and lost productivity depending on the situation. By them deciding to only ship the replacement through the same snail-mail shipping, they are, in a way, disregarding my time spent waiting for this item. In my case I am moving on Saturday and my case is unique in that I will have to wait even longer if the shipment does not come before I move because the order will have to be redirected to my new house, 200ish miles away.
[G Tablet Accessories] djunio:
I ordered mines a few days ago and it came today. It fits almost perfect.
[G Tablet Accessories] sirspongy:
So I am sure no one really cares anymore but I did want to just update this thread real fast but first of all I must implore anyone in the US to not use the free shipping option that Skinomi offers on their website because it is through the United States Postal Service and they are part of the reason why I STILL do not have my replacement/correct order yet.

I just received an e-mail from Skinomi saying that they received my return order and that they cannot process my refund since it has been over 30 days from when my order was placed. My jaw literally dropped when I read this. I have been waiting at my new address since the 31st of January for my order that, due to Skinomi lying and telling me the order would be 2nd day shipped to me, I did not receive my replacement order in time before I moved on the 29th. So I have been waiting patiently for my package to show up from USPS via the forwarding that I set up through the USPS. So over half a month later I get that e-mail saying that they received the return order from me...

So if I am understanding this correctly the USPS screwed up and did not forward this package to me at my new address but sent it back to the sender. I truly hope this is not the case because I am already seeing red and I cannot fathom how a company like Skinomi and the USPS continue to exist if this type of crap happens. It all started with Skinomi sending me the wrong skin in the first place and then sending the replacement through snail mail instead of the 2nd day like they told me they would on the phone so that it would make it to me before I moved. Then the postal service and their just god-awful service.

If I have anything to say about Skinomi it is STAY THE FRICK AWAY! They are just terrible. Yeah, one person had a bad experience does not speak for the whole company. I have read about a lot of bad experiences that other people have had with Skinomi.

Please do not recommend Skinomi, XDA Developers, if you are. You are doing the community a disservice by doing so.
[G Tablet Accessories] comhack:
Well I live in the US and I received my screen protector from Skinomi in 3 days. The screen protector works beautifully for me. I personally would not hesitate to order another screen protector from them since everything worked great and they shipped quickly. I had never heard of this company before purchase other than the responses in this thread and I am really happy with the product. Just because you had a bad experience does not mean that this happens with all orders. This is just my experience and opinion.

Thanks

Ok here I go ....I'm ready to stick my toe in the custom rom pool and I thought I had read everything I need to know. Reading the installation instructions and the first thing it says is to "wipe data/factory reset" that scared the @#$% outa me. Will I be able to go back to my stock rom and everything still be the way I left it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roosterdude33:
Backup before you wipe data!

There is an option to create a backup in both sprecovery and clockwork.

You will be able to revert back using this backup if anything goes wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TripleNP:
Cool thanks that's what I thought just wanted to make sure....sorry I have one other question: Once I install the new ROM will I have to set it up and get all my apps and widgets all over again or will they be there
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syn Ack:
You gotta do that backup. Have to download ROM Manager and install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Don't you dare do anything until you do that. Good luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syn Ack:
After wiping everything, it will all be gone. Apps and widgets won't go with you but if you get Titanium Backup, you can backup each app and widget and then restore it once you flash the new custom rom and it'll be just like it was before!

I just flashed my first ROM last night and lost my contacts too. Luckily I had them all saved on my wife's phone.

I can't seem to get the Ext A2SD to work. I've got the partition but nothing installs there. Am I missing something? I remember on my G1 it was all pretty much automatic.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
i'm pretty sure that the most recent builds of CM do A2SD in the same fashion that Froyo implemented it.

Meaning that the apps run off your SD off the main partition, making the EXT 2/3/4 unnecessary.

The main difference between CM's version and the stock version of A2SD right now is that CM has implemented a way to get all apps unlocked to be able to go to your SD card, and not just the ones that have been enabled by the market publisher.

in general, there is no reason to keep the EXT partition on your card anymore if you are running CM. You can just reformat it and get that precious disk space back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my95z34:
Hmm. Well that sucks. I always liked the Ext A2SD because it loaded much faster. With the Froyo method it takes a few once booted because the sd is mounted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzoid:
IIRC CM7 supports Darktremor ext a2sd/cache2sd script. This is a necessity for me, so I hope that's correct.

The problem could be related to a bug

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14813-darktremor-apps2sd-issue/

Have you tried the firerat a2sd+ script?

Data2sd support for performance enhancement would be nice also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Ok, I am somewhat confused. I am coming from a sense-based rom that had a2sd enabled. I have a ton of apps so this is necessary. Was running my Dalvik from the \cache\ partition and apps from ext3.

Is this still possible in CM7?

I tried running a2sd check in CM& and it said "a2sd not located" (or something to that effect).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I've had a a2sd issue with recent aosp roms, my find is that if yours is not working and you have a2sd installed then it's the kernel, I had to try multiple kernels to get mine working, I found Sbc bcnice v7 works perfect, shows up properly partitioned and apps are utilizing it, all the new zendroids and savagezen dont support a2sd, neither does snap 7.6
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrissikha:
use Link2SD it is the best a2sd replacement, it supports fat32 and ext as your 2nd partition.

I was running calkulin's rom on my evo but I decided to give cyanogen a run for its money. I was successful in installing cyanogen 6.1, and when i went to go install the addons, they didn't install properly for whatever reason. I went back into recovery mode and did a wipe of the device and went to install a fresh install of culkulin .. but instead of selecting the item "install zip from sd card" i selected "install update.zip" even though I didn't have an update.zip on my device.

After it tried to do that, it asked me if i wanted to reboot, i selected yes, and now i can't get into recovery mode. I can get into fastboot, but when i try and select recovery, it goes to the white HTC EVO 4G screen, then it goes to the screen with the phone, a red triangle with the exclamation point. If i press vol up + power, it brings up the menu to install from update.zip, wipe cache, wipe data, and reboot. I've selected all the options, i'm LOST.

i'm on a 2010 macbook pro .. I have windows 7 installed via VMware but it doesn't want to recognize my phone.

I was able to install adb on my mac, but it still can't recognize the phone. Any help is much appreciated, i don't want a $300 paper weight. Thanks!

Somehow your recovery might have been overwritten. Download a recovery image, go into fastboot and run the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Where recovery.img equals the filename of the recovery image.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshark:
Sounds like recovery is corrupted, download pc36000.img fkr amon_ra 2.2.1, put it into your root folder of sd card and give it go from fastboot.

I am typing name of recovery from my memory, so it can be wrong.

I read other posts about typing fastboot recovery installation commands, but you have said your adb is not working, so give this a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefredelement:
I'm not sure how to get adb running on the mac but it should be fairly easy. I'd read up on getting your phone connected with adb/fastboot then get the custom recovery img file.

Then you'll do:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(I'm not sure if amon has a readily available image file but you can get the img file for clockworkmod for the evo here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Just click the evo link, copy it to your fastboot folder and rename it to recovery.img just to make it easier.

Edit, if you have an sdcard apater (or maybe put the card in a digital camera or something so you can access it) you can put this PC36IMG.zip file on it: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s3vsgfwcz5po8hs/PC36IMG.zip

then boot your phone with boot loader, it'll scan the file and hit volume up to apply the update.

Had issue yesterday, my phone would boot directly to fastboot. My issue was a corrupted SD card. I bought a new one and it did the same thing but was able to reformat and it works! Never had this issue until i start pushing dalvich cache to SD. Anyhow check your SD card, try another on see if you can boot a zip from fast boot.

If I try to regular boot, just shows whit evo 4g screen.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Unfortunately, most people that had this problem were never able to get out of it. It happened mainly on AOSP based roms. I'm typing in past tense because it was a fairly common problem a few months ago, haven't heard much about it since.

You can try running an RUU. If it doesn't work and you have insurance, you may need to take it in and eat the $100 deductible.

Some people were flashing radios through hboot and pulling the battery until the device wouldn't even turn on, then taking it in.

However you want to handle it is up to you. I wish that someone had found a solution, but I'd try everything you can find before taking it in. Every phone is different, something may work for yours.

I feel like such a noob for asking this but I can't figure it out.

How do I reject an incoming call when the screen is locked? I want to let the call go thru immediately to voicemail.

I have tried:

- turning the phone face down (which silences the ringer but doesn't reject the call)

- swiping up (this seems to work on some other phones but not the Defy)

Is there some setting I am missing? All I can do is unlock the screen and then hang up on the person - not very polite, and they don't even go thru to voicemail!
[Defy General] _ossie_:
Oops sorry I figured it out ... it's the POWER button.

Doh!
