[Nook Color Accessories] GrillMouster:
It shouldn't. However, I've heard auto detailers say that Rain X is not good for a car's paint (not sure why), so I don't know if it will have an impact on the rest of the Nook Color, like the bezel or back.

Can anyone who's done the RainX trick comment on whether it's made the device less secure to hold (as in, some RainX gets on the rest of the device through contact, making it a little more slippery)?
[Nook Color Accessories] variable47:
It works fine as long as you keep it on the glass. Be careful around the edges, so it doesn't seep under the bezel. Also, try to keep it off the bezel because it discolors it ever so slightly.

Overall this is a neat trick. I did it with my Palm PDAs back in the day. :)

EDIT: The Rain-X won't transfer off the screen to your hand and make the plastic more slippery.
[Nook Color Accessories] {Diemex}:
Hi, I'm from Germany.

I'm thinkin about getting a screen protector or some rain-x, as what I've read out of the thread one can only have one of both.

I'm not quite sure if I should get a screen protector for SGT (cant get NC ones in Ger), and cut it to the right size.

Or if I should get a bottle of Rain-X at Amazon.de - they've got Rain-X Rain Repellent. I'm not quite sure which one u are all using, but on their homepage there are lot of variations of Rain-X.

I need to clean my display nearly daily, I get some random taps frequently, I'm simply lookin for something to make the screen better, maybe also fix the random taps when coming back in from the cold.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
as far as varieties of rain-x, im pretty sure theyre all essentially the same thing. they used to just have one kind years ago but after it became popular they now have many varieties that all are similar. i would get a spray-on kind if i were you, spray it on a soft cloth, and apply it that way.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent008my:
get this software called PIM for pocket pc. (link below)

http://www.freewareppc.com/database/pimbackup.shtml

you can back up contacts, calender entries and messages in a .pib format. if u copy that .pib file to your SD card it should be unaffected until u wanna restore them again.

to restore, just run that file. it restores all your backed up information. :D

EDIT: this software does not require any installation and is not a .cab file so you should have no trouble running it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemke:
Yes activesync won't sync this and myphone service has been shutdown now. I guess it was online only ?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoofoox:
you can connect you phone to pc, boot windows mobile and connect via active sync, then you can install mymobiler then you see the display content on you pc, then the easiest way should be to sync you calender/contacts via google (here is how to)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
it depends on where you get your apps from, if you soley download off the market i'd say no, but if you like to get apps off the net and install them manually, then maybe, android is quite susceptible to malicious applications especially when rooted. such malicious applications could do things like, forward your emails and sms's to another location, keylogging, accecss to make phone calls with no permission, prompt or dialer showing, and other info stealing activities :)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith7120:
Welp

I used my wife's phone which is a HTC EVO and it connected to my car's bluetooth without a hitch. Soooo, I went reloaded the EB01 ROM and Radio and yes I wiped the data and cleared the cache. Tried to connect MY phone again and I had NO luck. Should I order yet another phone? This is my 2nd fascinate. The previous one connected to my car's bluetooth just fine using EB01 but the vibrate motor worked only when it wanted to. One thing I must note, the bluetooth on my new phone connected to my mac book pro just fine. I was able to transfer files from the mac to the phone via bluetooth.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofanikolaid:
Keith7120- did you restore the system settings using an application like titanium backup after flashing eb01? I had some problems with Bluetooth after doing that on DL30.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] French.:
I'm having Bluetooth issues as well...my phone connects fine, but after hanging up a call something happens where it drops the connection and the only way to get it back is to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn the stereo off, then turn bluetooth back on the phone and then turn the stereo back on. Even though the connection gets dumped the stereo is not recognizing it.

When streaming music or podcasts the behavior is that the phone is streaming, a call is placed (or comes in) which pauses the stream and then when the call has ended the stream should resume. In my case I get the dreaded "force close" vibrate series (vibrate, pause, then 2 vibrates) but I never get a force close message. The content that was streaming attempts to stream and then stops and the connection is gone at that point.

I'm very frustrated at this point as I have taken the time to reinstall everything from scratch, wiping the phone to factory, deleting dalvik cache, regular cache, wiping, etc. from recovery. It worked last night in testing and it worked initially this morning. And then a little later this morning it went back to not working.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith7120:
bluetooth issues

Yes i did restore the system settings using Titanium coming from DL30. How do i skip that part during the restore?. I suppose i can figure that out within Titanium. Reset phone, wipe, then re-flash EB01 ROM and Radio. Restore but do not restore system settings. I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Bluetooth issue SOLVED!

Thanks for that idea, I reflashed my phone and I did NOT auto restore system settings using Titanium and Walla! I have working bluetooth in my car again. The steps I took were:

1. wiped phone/factory reset

2. re-flashed the EB01 modem

3 re-installed/flashed the EB01 ROM

4. once booted up, headed right for the car to pair bluetooth(worked!)

5. restored apps one by one through titanium.

6. went back to the car to see if the bluetooth worked (it did)

7. Issue SOLVED

Hi all,

I just bought a DHD secondhand and the previous owner seems to be tracking me. A joke maybe, maybe not. In any case, is there a way to stop him from keeping tabs on where I shop and more importantly, live. I've done a hard reset, will that do the trick?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
i dont know what application he is using to track you, but if its installed in /system a hard reset wont remove it.. your best bet is to root and install a custom recovery, you can them format the /system partiton, after that you are free to install a stock or custom rom of your choosing :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Are you sure your being tracked? (paranoia?)

But if you want to be sure then formatting fully and reinstalling a ROM is the way to go. Over in the Development Section you'll find all the information/guides/apps/ROMS you need.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
May i ask how do you know that he is tracking you?

Anyways, programs like Theft Aware survive factory resets and so on. They can also activate gps without the symbol in the notification bar and the previous owner is able to remote control your device with sms commands and you wouldn't notice it because the pogram hides it. He can also request your exact position, even you have a new sim card in your phone.

Try to go to the settings->applications and look for some apps with names you haven't installed. Can be something like 'Beatbox Machine' or even something with HTC in its name.

Not to be an ass or anything, but if you can't figure out how to root the phone, find a stickied thread, or what needs done to flash ROMs, than you should stay away from 2.2 until you can. Odds are, you'll end up flashing something you shouldn't and it will be harder to get back to a working phone.

hello peeps. i need a bit of help right now at a serious issue. so here's a bit of back story:

so, i flash caulkin's evio 1.8. it has these new extended data settings. i set nat to auto (which i think is default) and mode (forget what its called) to hybrid. within minutes, the cdma mode is back at evdo-only. so i try again. again, switches back in just minutes. then, i realize i havent recieved any phone calls or texts in that time. i call somebody, and instantly i get 4 missed call notifications and 15 texts. that is wired. so i nand back to 1.7.7, and then flash to myns, and then miui. on all of them, i have the same no call/text until phone call problem. that is pretty crazy, right?

i have done an ruu (leaving s-off to save time) and thats about all i have done so far besides flashing around. is there anything i can do?

obviously, this is a serious problem, as i cant use my phone as a phone anymore, because it doesnt work as one. i need this fixed as soon as possible, so i can go back to having a phone...
