[Nexus S Accessories] Androyed:
The Nexus S screen scratches as easily as any other screen, Gorilla Glass or not. If you thought you were safe with the Nexus One, don't buy one for the Nexus S.

It is not the screen that scratches while you look at it, it is the battery cover. So I would recommend a case, but you were already going to buy one I see.

If you really want a screen protector, go with a super clear one like Clarivue or Seidio. But I won't buy one. It is glass after all, and the anti-smudge layer won't work when you have a screen protector, of course.

Quoted for truth.
[Nexus S Accessories] dinan:
Recommend you guys read about the oleophobic coating... I'm sure the glass is quite scratch resistant but the coating seems to be easily worn off:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902132

Pics on page 2 and 3. I've seen this first hand with my first Nexus S. I've since exchanged and my new one hasn't shown this problem so it might have been a defect from the factory since I don't actually know if mine wore off while I had it or if it was like that the whole time and I just noticed it later.
[Nexus S Accessories] x4-FAo:
Well the guy who started the topic and exchange his Nexus S three times

was using rubbing alcohol to clean the screen.

i dont know what other chemical he used.
[Nexus S Accessories] pookguy88:
personally I think screen protectors are one of the biggest scams in the cell phone industry
[Nexus S Accessories] Androyed:
Lol:), why would you clean your phone with alcohol or any other chemical, when there is an oleophobic coating on the display? I mean, that's the purpose of the oleophobic coating, right? It is there so you don't need to use chemicals to clean your display...
[Nexus S Accessories] Overrange:
I don't like to use any case for my phone. I have not been using any case for 3-4 previous phones. Normally the back of the screen start to scarch due to vibration. I never put my phone into vibration when I place it on hard surface. I never put my phone together with other object such as key or coins in same pocket. The only time I use vibration when the phone is in pocket.

Some time I even joke to my friends that hero does not need screen protector because it has built in screen protection (chin that make screen never touch the surface) and even drag it on the table. My NS is arriving in a few days time. I don't think I'll be using any screen protector.
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
When I bought my Epic 4G a few months ago, I got talked into getting one of the screen protectors they sell at the Sprint Store. I hated it. It made the screen look dull and made it feel not right to touch. I took it off and decided never to buy another screen protector.

Then, I got my SNS and I got a case for it but I was amazed how quickly the screen accumulated fingerprints. I broke down and got Ghost Armor and now, I don't even use the case I bought for it. I love it. The phone feels so great naked and I love it.
[Nexus S Accessories] dinan:
The case with the coating coming off isn't necessarily due to using chemicals. If that were the case, the whole screen would've been affected, not just those few spots that were pictured.

My first NS had similar spots being affected and I never used anything on the screen other than a microfiber cloth.

I wish I could directly post this question on the Blue Spark thread, but I can't, newbie, less than 10 posts!

Anyway, I installed this rom last night, and I want to uninstall LaunchPro that comes with it. The author installed it as system app, and I don't know how to uninstall it or is it safe to do so.
[XPERIA X10 General] icet925:
Maybe you can try installing another home app first and then uninstall the launcher pro. I've been using Go launcher Ex lately. I think its better than launcher pro. Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X10 General] vengeance1990:
You can uninstall it but as the guy above said, you need another home app, as once you uninstall it i think i am right in saying that you wont be able to bring up the menu.

Im also using blue sparks as my main rom, and at first i wasnt a big fan on launcher pro but i got used to it and ended up buying the full version

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] totalz:
thanks guys!

any recommendation on the home app?
[XPERIA X10 General] vengeance1990:

I can send but not receive mms, so after looking through the apk I noticed something. The settings provided by my carrier doesn't quite match up to the samples in the apk.

So my questions are can I simply edit the apk , and is it as simple as changing some text and calling it a day?

Here's the info in case anyone already has done this before and it's not as simple as I'm thinking.

Has anyone tried psx on O1?

For example MK4 run's slow on my O1.

Will a overclocked and HW accelerated rom do any difference?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] tobats120:
no need to OC, just install the fix for the touchscreen and you are good to go. :))
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CrysiZ:
Well i get like 10 fps in x-men vs street fighter
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajin1:
Since psx4droid uses a touchscreen controller, all games requiring to keep pressing a control (like a racer requiring you to keep pushing right to steer right etc) will suffer a lot from the touchscreen bug. Touchscreen bug = if you put a finger on the screen and keep it there, it will get to 100% CPU very fast.

For now, I'd suggest to use the Touchscreen Bug Fix by mik_os (found here).

Other than that, use a OC kernel.

But generally, with gingerbread (by mik_os and andy) already in alpha, and a better psx emulator soon to arrive (FPSeCe for Android in "a few days"), i'd just wait a bit if OC + bugfix don't help...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peernikk:
Do you think we will be able to play Tekken 3 or something like that On our lg Optimus one with new emulator? With PsX4droid(i dont know why) but i have like 10 fps in every game i try...(and i have Touch fix), dont u know why?:(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
Yep I tried nfs 3 and porsche, all laggy..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajin1:
There is a video where the dev plays Tekken 3 using the emulator, but it's on a snapdragon 1Ghz device - we'll have to wait and see. (Tekken 3 demo in alpha build on youtube v=WHwGR2e1)

If the performance is comparable to his win mobile version, you could check the compatibity list www(dot)fpsece(dot)net/compatibility.html) - all green and yellow games should work perfectly, orange ones might or might not work (orange = 1ghz, yellow = 533Mhz, Optimus with OC is somewhere between).

For your genral PSX4Droid issues, check out the PSX4Droid forum by the dev: www(dot)androidemus(dot)com, especially the performance tips (first sticky)...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peernikk:
wow dude, thx a lot for information, but i quite dont belive it hehe. In fact, yes, my optimus is OC on 739 MHZ....so that should mean that i will run almost all the yellow and green games with high fps? do you belive that?:D because i quite doubt if if now i have like 10 fps with PSX4droid, but maybe the new emulator is better heh :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhat4118:
Hey what's up. I got this G2 with the latest cm7, which is build number 21 and the battery life is horrible. Like 8 hours with an hour of the display being on. I'm coming from the Epic which had pretty good battery life once calibrated.

So what's the proper way of calibrating the G2? I am using the stock kernel that comes with the Cm7 rom right now but I did try the pershoot kernel couple times and underclocked it but it still didn't help. I think all that kernel flashing messed up my battery life. So any ideas? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Charge your phone all the way to 100% (not just until the LED turns green, which is around 90%), unplug and boot into recovery, wipe battery stats, boot back into Android and use your phone until the battery drains and your phone shuts off. Keep trying to power up until it won't any more.

Now, plug your phone in (into the wall, not a computer) and charge until full *without* turning it on. Remember, the LED turns green around 90% so you'll need to leave it another few hours after the LED changes. Once you're full, unplug and boot into Android and again use it until the battery is fully drained and you can't power up anymore and you're good to go.

Remember, after wiping stats, during the draining process *do not* plug it in to the charger or your computer as thiss will mess up the calibration.

Its a pain, and takes a day or so, but its worth it. To speed up the draining process, do some process intensive things (video watching, game playing, etc.)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhat4118:
Thanks for the tip. Now I have been doing some reading and saw some people recommended charging the phone while it is on when it is fully discharged the first time. You recommend while its off? Does it make a huge difference?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
I don't think it would make that big of a difference; if you think about it though, you're dealing with the battery and battery only if the system is turned off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhat4118:
True we are dealing with the battery but when we wipe the battery stats I think it only wipes the battery information the phone had in its system. So if we wiped the stats when it is full then let it discharge till completely empty, im assuming, you would have to charge it while its on so the phone can now learn what the battery level is and when its full and its capacity. I'm just guessing I could be wrong though. I'm just going to try both and see what happens.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I have used this method to calibrate the battery and can say that it does have a pretty big impact on battery life. +/- 20% in my case. I also find that I need to re-calibrate roughly once every month or so.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
To be clear, there is not such thing as "calibrating the battery", you are calibrating the battery meter (volt meter) on the phone. Maybe its just a semantic distinction, and that is what the OP and subsequent replies are talking about. But many people get this confused, due to the old process of "conditioning" NiCad batteries, which is not applicable to modern cell phone (Li ion) batteries.

In my understanging, you aren't going to increase battery life by doing any of the above, but only making the battery meter more correctly read how much power is left. For instance, if the meter is not properly calibrated, it may read lower than it should. So people think they are increasing their battery life.

I would discourage from discharging the battery to empty. Over discharge of Li ion batteries can possibly (not often, but in a small percentage of cases) prevent the battery from taking a charge. There is a safety circuit which is supposed to prevent over discharge, but it does not always work. Therefore, Li ion batteries should not be discharged lower then 20% whenever possible. Most of us do it from time to time on accident, but there is not reason to do it intentionally. Charge the battery to 100%, drain to 20%, and repeat a couple times. This will get your battery meter plenty accurate. Draining it to empty does not really gain you anything (the battery meter is not that accurate in the best of circumstances, anyway), and can harm the battery.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/do_and_dont_battery_table

Flashing a new ROM resets the battery meter. So until its properly calibrated, it will give you junk readings. This is one reason why people often jump the gun and think that a custom ROM is getting them poor battery life. Calibrate the meter, and use the ROM for a couple days, then you should get a real indication of what the battery life is like on that ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShotAzn:
I was about to post this. Letting a LiIon discharge all the way is more harmful to the battery than recharging it mid drain cycle.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legato89:
I'm having a bit of battery issues, I haven't flashed a ROM or calibrated my battery meter. So I charge my phone to full while still on, unplug it and drain it until it turns off (NOT until the battery is completely drained, which could potentially damage the battery), plug it up and let it charge while off, and I should be calibrated?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Queue515:

About:

_____________________________________

Hello everyone, this is my first app for Windows Mobile. Hope you all will like it and find it useful.

As a member of WW, I am actually using what I created and has been helping me to calculate WW Points the old way and the new way; I am finding myself tracking both ways now just because it's fun.

This tool is designed so you can first calculate the points, either via PP or Regular Points, then keep track of the points daily. As each day passes by, there will be a place to keep track of points used for that day for the duration of the week. There is a section as well to keep track of your weight weekly in the weight tracker.

You will be able to Save your inputed data regularly and load it regularly.

Also, I have created a section of useful links (which I use multiple times a day) to gain nutritional information about foods when I am on the go.

[Nook Color General] daemonfly:
Going to be setting up a HTPC pretty soon and was looking for remote control options. Considering I just want it to mainly be a HTPC remote, it would just need Wifi, a big screen, and Android, the NC does seem a strong contender at first glance.

XBMC with it's Android wifi-based remote app seems like a very nice solution, as well as some others, (as long as the apps work fine on the larger screen).

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this, or alternate suggestions?
[Nook Color General] michwu:
The Nook is a fantastic media remote. I've not tried the XBMC apps specifically yet, though they should work fine.

I've built a home theater & home automation setup around a Windows program called Girder, from Promixis. Girder offers a full web server with javascript hooks so you can create html pages and use any browser to control things.

I started with this, using Nokia 800 tablets as the controller. It worked great, but I wanted more responsiveness and features than browsers would easily let me achieve. Thankfully Girder has a nice web service interface, against which I've been writing a native Android app that acts sort of like a Philips Pronto universal remote, except with all the Android goodies like voice recognition, gestures, etc.

Regardless of the implementation details, the Nook is a solid media remote control when paired with a decent back-end. The battery life is fine if you don't mind keeping a plug nearby (I get just under a week with moderate remote usage and occasional browsing), the form-factor isn't too big, and the bundled capabilities of an armchair browsing/<insert Android app here> device are hard to beat.

My only wants that the Nook doesn't have would be a few more physical buttons (I already map the volume buttons to TV volume controls but would like channel and FF/Rewind/Play or D-Pad controls), vibrate feedback for button presses, and a less finicky plug, ideally a drop-and-charge dock of some kind.

HTH!
[Nook Color General] YodaEXE:
I'm an avid XBMC fan. Been running it for a good while now. I ordered a NookColor for the same reason you did OP. The XBMC app is great on my Android phone, and I've been talking with the dev who works on it, trying to come up with some improvements for when it's run on tablets. I'd definitely recommend using it if you've got XBMC running off a machine at your place.
[Nook Color General] daemonfly:
Thanks for the responses. Think I'll end up getting one later on, once I get the rest of the setup going (who knows, they might be back in stock by then ;)).

I've had XBMC running on my home server as a test for a little while, with the app on my HD2 running Android. App hasn't been 100% stable, force closing here & there, but hard to tell if it's the app, or just some of the quirks found in running Android on HD2. I did notice battery life suffered quite a bit, but that was with heavy remote testing today. I'll have to see how that goes with more testing.

The Girder stuff looked interesting, except for it's price tag. I'm on a bit of a budget & still have to get HTPC specific hardware, and slightly redo the backend. XBMC on Ubuntu is free and quite acceptable, so that's what I'll stick with for now. I did like that the stock phone volume controls worked through XBMC to control it's playback volume.
[Nook Color General] werm:

XBMC is the way to go, no doubt.

The app works fine now, but since the screen is so much larger, there is room for scaling improvements throughout the app. Nothing is a deal breaker, though.
