I ordered 2.. They are free with you just paying shipping and rival Zagg, and I think they are better. Try it out. You cannot lose with 2 for $5\

EDIT: Plus they are full body protectors.
[Epic 4G General] antmon:
have had the Zagg InvisibleShield from day one...

no warped colors and still keeps the same brightness as without....
[Epic 4G General] fastmikey1969:
+1 on the realook.

Its hard plastic not soft like the Zagg and most other screen protectors.
[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
There's actually a thread about this already in the Accessories sub-forum.

But anyway, Ghost Armor is what I use, and compared to the Invisible Shield that's on my brother's Epic, mine is more slick (less plastic-like and less gooey) and overall a great looking screen protector. Plus the fingerprints are way easy to wipe off, which is what annoyed me with the plain Gorilla Glass, which by itself is already very scratch-resistant but prone to fingerprints.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
i know theres already a thread... but

I like the realook 11 bucks for 2 of them... run a hot shower in bathroon, then go in there and clean screen then apply. Bearlt know its there and has a natural feel/look , ive had the same one on for over 6 months now and its still hanging in there.... getting a bit scratched now but not bad enough for me to pull it. I tried a zagg one and hated it. Gorilla glass does hold up great but sand will still scratch it... i have a micro scratch from a grain of sand that was in my pocket from river fishing in the summer...... that was my turning point to go and get a protector.

just my 2cents

Hey everyone. I am running Android Revolution 3.0 and just needed confirmation that the "Premium" Navigation that activated a 30 day trial will not automatically bill my AT&T account when the trial is over. I don't think that it can... but you never know with wireless carriers.

Anyone know for sure what the deal is with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Symmetric:
After the 30 day trial, you will be billed. Make sure you cancel it prior to that if you don't want it.

Is the software upgrade only supporting the 4g connectivity? I was under the impression it was a general upgrade and would include support for things like SD cards.

Also, while I am not on the Verizon plan, I still want hw/sw upgrade so my device is current. This statement from that forum mod seems to indicate that if you aren't paying Verizon, Motorola isn't going to upgrade you:
[Xoom General] chaoscentral:
I have from a very good source, anyone who purchased a 3G "Verizon" Xoom is eligible for the 4G upgrade since they technically paid for it with the price of the device. Rooted or not you will get the upgrade, and data plan or not you will get the upgrade.

Im not too sure about this stupid 4g upgrade. I mean, we have to send it in. And then who knows how 'careful' they're actually going to handle my fully screen-protected device? Ill probably never even activate the radio. How often is there an emergency for "on-the-go" data, really? But since I did pay for the upgrade I guess ill have to send it in. Ahh! They just better send it back to same exact condition it was in. Im very anal about my electronics and if I see one little nick, or mess up my screen protector, they're gonna here it from me. Lol!

Sent from the most 'Epic' phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app :-)
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
I would take pictures before you send it in. so when you get it back and if its damaged you can prove it. Take the pictures of right before you tape the box to send it in. So that they cant say the picture is from 2 weeks before you sent it in or something. Doubt they will damage it but if you want to be really cautious.

So I installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my laptop which was running Windows 7, I partioned about 200 GB of my hard drive to it. But I just never used it so I decided to uninstall it, but I never re-partioned it's hard drive space for Windows. I've been running my laptop for about a week with no problems on Windows 7.

Last night my computer's battery died and when I tried to boot all I got was some black screen saying "error: no such parition" "grub rescue>"

Anyone know how I can get back to Windows and prevent this from happening again?! Please help
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
1) Insert windows 7 CD or USB stick (something bootable)

2) Select your region and language

3) Pick repair at bottom left of the screen, and it should detect the issue and fix the boot sector. If not, pick "Startup repair". Now reboot and it should be fixed :)

Posted by Tim Bray on 03 March 2011 at 1:06 PM

[This post is by Xavier Ducrohet, Android SDK Tech Lead. — Tim Bray]

A few weeks ago, Dianne Hackborn wrote about the new Fragments API, a mechanism that makes it easier for applications to scale across a variety of screen sizes.

However, as Dianne noted, this new API, which is part of Honeycomb, does not help developers whose applications target earlier versions of Android.

Today we’ve released a static library that exposes the same Fragments API (as well as the new LoaderManager and a few other classes) so that applications compatible with Android 1.6 or later can use fragments to create tablet-compatible user interfaces.

This library is available through the SDK Updater; it’s called “Android Compatibility package”.

Is it possible to anyway watch netflix? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlepr:
Not yet dude. Netflix support is in the works from both sides but nothing yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarjarchared:
It is possible with the PlayOn app. It's the most basic controls like play pause and there is a seek bar that doesn't work well but I have successfully watched a show with it. PlayOn transcodes the video and streams it to your device. The downfalls are that it costs $40 for a year and $20 every year after or $80 for a lifetime and your computer has to be on and running PlayOn for it to work. There is a free 2 week trial though. http://www.playon.tv/playon

Hi there. I am planning to flash new baseband(radio) for my Desire HD. Visited this site: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896597

I've downloaded the Radio flash.zip file from there and the preferred radio version. I am using LeeDroid v2.2.2 and Lee actually recommending to flash 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2 version.

But when I was about the follow the steps shown, somehow I just cannot open the "Start Here" file. It appears to be a black command thingy coming out once I double clicked and it just closed in seconds.

(Q) Is there any other software I need to download in order me to use that files?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looceci:
you could try

In ms windows, press start - run, type cmd, there will be a cmd window, then cd to your radio flash dir, type start here
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi looceci.

Erm.. i manage to open up the cmd window(the black color window).

Erm.. about the "then cd to your radio flash dir, type start here". How should I do about it? I mean.. what should I type to go into that? that links to my radio flash. I typed radio flash and it didnt work.

It only says "<<the word i typed>> not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
I've tried typing "start here" but it says that "Here" is not found. =/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
The start here.bat just opens a command window, you can open one manually and proceed with the commands.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tramposhay:
use the CD (Change Directory) Command from within that black screen.

so if your radio folder is located in your C: drive inside the radio folder type --- Cd C:\radio

so if your radio folder is located in your C: drive inside the radio folder inside the test folder for example type --- Cd C:\radio\test

Look in the address bar of the folder, you should be able to see the location of the folder there...

for more help search google for "Change Directory Using MS-DOS"

[Captivate General] donharden2002:
It looks like I've done the impossible. I was running cm 7 gb on it and like a dummy went back to stock. Tried flashing continuum 3.1 and phone got stuck in a vibration loop.

Was able to get into d/l mode with jig and tried to odin stock again. Phone screen went all green and odin was stuck at rfs. Can still get into d/l mode with jig but now phone just shuts off while running odin.

I think my biggest issue is that I didn't follow the steps properly and repartition while going back to stock.

I just ordered an inspire 4g, hopefully I will be able to get the cappy up and running again so I can sell one of them later.

Anyone have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've tried every method I could find. I tried with odin one click but don't think I have everything downloaded that I need to make it all work properly as far as the put files and everything.

I tried finding it to try it but have had no luck. When I tried odin I used a version that I've had since buying the phone. Its a very old version of stock that I think I got from ponack.net last yr some time.

thank you for the reply's. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Tried method above with no success. No biggie, I'm going to send it to a guy to try to get it fixed so I have it as a backup in case I don't like the inspire.

The wife is ready to strangle me over this. Good thing she loves me.

Thank you all for your help. If I get it fixed and like the inspire enough I might end up selling it our keeping it for a play toy.

Thanks again.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Sounds like you're trying the wrong thing. The one-click odin stock doesn't require you to download any extra files, that's why it's a one-click solution. Everything is already packaged into the program, so all you have to do is connect your phone to the computer in download mode and hit the start button in odin, and the software takes care of everything else to get it back to factory defaults.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I am able to get it into d/l mode only using a jig but no matter what I try it doesn't seem to work.

I'm going to send it to Josh from mobile tech reviews, he thinks he might be able to fix it.

If not then hopefully I will have learned a lesson from this. That lesson being, don't mess up my inspire or I might end up single again. Not a big fan of that happening.

Thanks again to you all for your time and suggestions. People like you guys are the reason I like xda so much.

Rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader, let it run the update and you will be back to a stock 2.2. From there you can re-root and do whatever else you want.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:

[Streak 5 General] loop3:
After numerous unwanted factory resets, a bundled app that doesnt work at all, the lettering on the back peeling away, random FCs, and now a completely dead streak, I've finally lost my patients. I think the internal sd's fried, but I dont give a sh*t any more. I loved the idea of the streak, but I just don't think its refined, or particularly well built. I don't expect Dell to upgrade from 2.2 ever, the customer service line in the UK is premium rate, and the US line (which is free) gets you (eventually) through to a girl that seems to take pleasure in making it glaringly obvious that she couldn't give a flying f*ck.

I tried to love my streak, but unfortunately, its been an epic fail from start to finish. I've only had it a month or two, and now i'm left with a black slab of glass and plastic (that i'm about to send back). Now considering getting a nexus s.

Sorry for the rant, like I said, I love the streak in theory, i'm just super disappointed with the build quality and lack of attention to detail. :mad:
[Streak 5 General] shinydesert:
I love mine too and so far I am being lucky (knock on wood) but I agree with you,it is a fragile product with "funny little things".I will keep it for a few more months,after that I will get rid of it.I do not see it as a solid product,this is just my point of view...I am sure some other people will see it as a rock solid device.
[Streak 5 General] breckbit:
Totaly agree! Love my Streak as well but the quality is is wack as f*ck
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Not sure what your all crying about. My streak is solid and built well. Sure go pick up a nexus s with its cheap rubber battery door.

Not sure what you guys are expecting... ever have a blackberry and see how poorly made those are?
[Streak 5 General] BigJayDogg3:
Er...one of the few things RIM does well is hardware.

On the other hand, I constantly have to.reset my streak because the screen is unresponsive.

At least the Nexus S gets updated. His long did it take Dell to update the AT&T Streak?
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Then you have a warranty issues and should get it replaced.

What does that have to do with build quality? It's apples and oranges when you compare a Nexus and any other phone when it comes to how quick they are updated.

Whether you think that the Streak is well built or poorly built it is amazing. It is the only device at it's size in it's niche (both phone and tablet). The engineers had to try to make the phone as small as possible but still accommodate the 5 inch screen. The thinness of the Streak was probably intended to offset some of the size in the other dimensions. There is little protection on the long sides of the screen to make it as narrow as possible.

IMO they did well if you consider all of the factors that they had to work with. With most things after they are used in the real world it is much easier to see where they could have done better.

A larger device might have been a tougher device since the screen could have been thicker and more protection could have been added on the long sides of the phone. The logo coming off on some phones may be irritating but using the wrong glue or process to secure it doesn't cause the device to lose a lot of build points for me. As it is the Streak is the best cell phone I have ever owned.
[Streak 5 General] kasperke:
i have my streak for 5 months now and the first thing i did was puchasing the hard plastic back cover from dell..it has a plastic screencover as well..a well spend investment cause big toys will break easely.

Last week, i had an iphone 4 in my hands and a samsung galaxy..and both guys were very impressed with the build quality of my dell. So impressed they want to puchase one.

a big glass bottle of coke will break easier then a small one:D if you drop it.

and god yeah after tweaking my streak..i think it's the best toy i bought after my htc artemis a few years ago
[Streak 5 General] lidyo23:
quality issue? I've dropped my streak naked twice about 4 feet high and still no scratches, no problems whatsover.. now I'm running dj steves rom, and its the best phone I've ever owned.. and I'm coming from blackberry 9700 then to iphone 4..

Sent from my fastest iphone killer yet.
[Streak 5 General] ChrisJ:
Due to issues with my O2 contract I sold my Streak and bought a Nexus S. I loved the Streak to bits but have a personal and strict no gadget twice policy, hence the Nexus S.

Firstly, I would still recommend the Streak to anyone who wanted something that bit bigger than the norm.

Secondly, I'll jump to defend the myth of the poor build of the Nexus S. The battery door certainly isn't rubber. Yeah it is light in the hand but so what, didn't a low weight once constitute a positive selling point?

If you flash a rom and something goes wrong then you will have two options to wipe and start again or restore your backed up rom and data .....useful if you like to flash custom Roms alot, or if you like to modify your phones boot,splash etc and then want to revert back
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobSimmo:
The reason it's big is because it's the backup of your stock ROM. You should NEVER delete this as you may need it in the future if something goes wrong with your handset.

It is not purely a back up of apps on the phone, it is the backup of the operating system that the phone cannot run without.

If you delete it and you brick your phone somehow, then you have small chance of getting it back again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Nah it is not that serious, a full wipe + custom rom will restore a phone just like a nandroid backup would.
