[Focus General] parkpy:
I've owned my Samsung Focus since 12/26/10. I use it daily. I am careful not to put my keys and phone in the same pocket. I will admit to using my shirt to wipe smudges off my screen. It does not have a screen protector.

Is it normal to have so many small scratches all over the front of my screen?:confused:
[Focus General] drokkon:
I'm starting to wonder if there aren't some differences in Focii out there. I've only had mine a month, but it gets wiped, most often on the leg of my jeans, and has yet to have a single scratch, small or otherwise. I'll count myself lucky, but you should check out the gorilla glass thread going on here.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
What may appear to be scratches could be the opposite of a scratch. Deposition of materials on the surface. I have a Motion Computing J3500 Tablet with Gorilla Glass. It looks like it has scratches sometimes, but it it actually fine marks from the digitizer pen. Some good hard rubbing with my microfiber cleaning cloths gets the job done.
[Focus General] parkpy:
Picture proof.

I'll use the suggestion of wiping hard with a microfiber though:)

edit: says I can't link you guys to the photo:-/
[Focus General] parkpy:
Quote from Samsung:

"Dear Paul,

Thank you for your inquiry.

We do apologize for the inconvenience. Apparently, the Samsung Focus is not using Gorilla Glass and we did not know how you utilize the use of your phone. If there would be scratches we advise you to use a protective screen on the phone.

Thank you for your continued interest in Samsung products.

Sincerely,

Technical Support

Kaye"

[Focus General] TOA Duck:
bummmer.....I have had mine since November 8th and no scratches. No screen protector.

I believe you still have to be carefull. Nothing in your pocket with your phone.

You have to use common sense here as NOTHING in this world that says scratch resistant is really scratch resistant.
[Focus General] eried:
Some sand particles in your pocket can scratch any material besides diamonds. :D
[Focus General] norsairius:
Huh, this phone has to be using Gorilla glass. I've taken my car keys to the screen just to demonstrate it to other people, haha.

That said, my phone screen has no scratches. It wipes clean and looks as good as the day it came out of the box. There are a few on the back cover, but that's it.
[Focus General] drokkon:
Had my first spill

First drop yesterday onto pavement. A few almost imperceptible nicks on the chassis, but the screen is as smooth and unblemished as day 1. :D
[Focus General] ndtinker:
Hah, mines the same way. I dropped it twice now. Hit the back cover, flipped over, then proceeded to slide face first on the pavement.. the front black bezel looks like dogmeat but the glass is perfect :) I finally got a case just to protect that super soft front plastic surround..
[Focus General] IWantAnA2:
I'm on my third Focus. My second one I had for over a month with a ZAGG screen protector on it. When I took it off to send the phone back to AT&T, the screen and back cover were MINT. They aren't cheap at $30, but I honestly think it was a very good investment. It isn't reusable, but has a lifetime warranty.
[Focus General] alan93:
Had mine since Christmas eve.

Just wiped off all the smudges to take a look at it.

Looks like black ice to me.
[Focus General] shiftf7:
I'm really not sure how I did it.. but my screen got a scratch on it. :( As a result I bought a screen protector from clearvue.

But anyway, here's a a picture I took to prove it:

I dropped mine on the gravel at the gun range on Sunday. Now, I've got a tiny chip and a crack across the screen. I guess I'll find out how much Samsung charges for repair soon...

Michael.
[Focus General] cozmo5050:
unfortunately, scratch resistant is not the same as scratch proof.
[Focus General] amtrakcn:
I heard Samsung put a layer on top of the Gorrila Glass to prevent fingerprint and improve smoothness of surface. Also I saw someone with Galaxy S tear that layer off(Just like screen protector). It might be the same thing for Focus.
[Focus General] ru-dmitry:
Maybe it was Nexus S that have oleophobic coating on the screen?
[Focus General] amtrakcn:
Not sure about NS. NS is not using the Gorilla Glass.
[Focus General] Michael-Dallas:
After 12 days and a whopping $156 ($70 std repair fee + $80 lcd fee + tax), I have my Focus back. And she looks good as new.

I hate cases and screen protectors, but I may invest in them very soon.

There was a glimmer of hope in the back of my mind that they would have flashed my phone w/ NoDo, but no such luck. :-(

Michael.
[Focus General] sensboston:
About hard screen scratches: what do you guys think about http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Focus-SGH-I917-Glass-Lens-p/smsng6095170.htm ?

It's not expensive. Where is only lack of how-to instructions...
[Focus General] MartyLK:
It is possible that some Focus' have a screen protector. But there is just way too much unknown for this device coming from every direction. Samsung says it has GG, Sansung also says it doesn't have GG. Professionals report it does have GG. Other professionals report it doesn't have GG. Corning lists the Focus as having GG and yet they also list HTC devices as having GG. The problem with that is, HTC says they don't use GG.

I really have no clue why all of the industry misdirection. Maybe Samsung started out using GG and changed lately. Maybe they didn't start out using GG and now are. Maybe Samsung uses GG on some productions of the Focus and not on others. Maybe they use GG on Focus' produced on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. And maybe they don't use GG on Focus' produced on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Who knows? I have no clue. But it's a bit annoying how Samsung is doing.

All I do know...my Focus got a screen protector right from removing it from the box. The factory applied meant-to-be-removed screen protector was not removed till the guy who put the permanent protector on removed it. I also left the factory applied meant-to-be-removed backplate protector on and am using my Focus in a hard shell case. The only exposed surfaces on my Focus are the buttons and ports.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliteLegend:
I followed the instructions listed here to compile the kernel from the source and was successful. Next, I saw some instructions here on how to compile our own loadable kernel modules:

First we must retrieve and copy the kernel config from our device.
$ cd /path/to/android-sdk/tools
$ ./adk pull /proc/config.gz
$ gunzip ./config.gz
$ cp config /path/to/kernel/.config

Next we have to prepare our kernel source for our module.
$ cd /path/to/kernel
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- modules_prepare

PREPARING YOUR MODULE FOR COMPILATION

We need to create a Makefile to cross-compile our kernel module. The contents of your Makefile should be similar to the following:

obj-m := modulename.o
KDIR := /path/to/kernel
PWD := $(shell pwd)
CCPATH := /path/to/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin
default:
$(MAKE) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$(CCPATH)/arm-eabi- -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules

COMPILING AND INSTALLING YOUR MODULE
$ cd /path/to/module/src
$ make
$ cd /path/to/android-sdk/tools/
$ ./adb push /path/to/module/src/modulename.ko /sdcard/modulename.ko

RUNNING YOUR MODULE
$ cd /path/to/android-sdk/
$ ./adb shell
$ su
# insmod /sdcard/modulename.ko

When I try executing:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android-ndk/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- modules_prepare

I get an error:

make: *** No rule to make target `modules_prepare`. Stop.

Can someone please tell me if I am missing something here?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
The location update request every 20 secs seems be normal.

If you look at the logcat, even with 3g enabled and wifi disabled, you can see that the location request is still happening every 20 secs.

The difference with 2.3.3 is that every time the location request is occurring, the 3g icon pops up.

So I don't think there is anything wrong, but it is annoying and causes the UI to hiccup for a sec, so I hope google can push out a fix for it.

Are you removing supl from the apn type field?

That seemed to have fixed it for me. However I'm not sure if that would affect the speed of agps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.chatten:
Just removing supl from the apn type doesn't fix the issue unless you have two seperate apn's for internet & mms, examples below.

This is the default single apn for my phone, a combination of internet, supl & mms (this does not work correctly)

Combined internet, supl & mms APN

Name > T-Mobile UK

APN > general.t-mobile.uk

Username > t-mobile

Password > tm

MMSC > http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002

MMS proxy > 149.254.201.135

MMS port > 8080

APN type > default,supl,mms < if you remove just "supl" or both "supl,mms" it still doesn't work correctly, if you reboot problem seems to return.

This is the seperate apn's i created manualy and they do work correctly.

Internet

Name > T-Mobile Internet

APN > general.t-mobile.uk

Username > t-mobile

Password > tm

APN type > default < if you put "default,supl" here this doesn't work, you need to use "default" only for this to work.

MMS

Name > T-Mobile MMS

APN > general.t-mobile.uk

Username > t-mobile

Password > tm

MMSC > http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002

MMS proxy > 149.254.201.135

MMS port > 8080

APN type > mms

But as you say, we have no idea if agps is going to function correctly without the supl in the apn type field, so it seems we can't use a combined internet, supl, mms apn for the the being, it also looks like agps is screwed untill google release an update to fix this.

Your config works when you remove "supl" because you are using two seperate apn's, one for internet & one for mms, removing "supl" doesn't work when using a single combined apn (internet+mms).
