[Atrix 4G Accessories] thebeardedchild:
So I had the Ghost Armor installed at a mall kiosk last friday. I read good things about it, typically more positive than Zagg and such. It seems Best Skins ever is the best, but I wanted my cover installed by someone, and there isn't a BSE kiosk anywhere in Seattle to my knowledge... I had it installed, and it seemed alright at first. I unfortunately noticed a hair underneath, but since I'm still within the 7 days I thought I'd go get it reinstalled. However, since then I've also noticed pretty significant orange peel, a couple scratches, a large dent that came out of nowhere, some small nicks all over it, some weird vertical streaks all over it....the dent sort of healed itself, but not really, and nothing else is going away. No I've noticed that when I pull it out of my jean pocket (which has nothing else in it) a ton of strange spots/streaks appear on it sort of in the pattern of threads that might be in the pocket. They seem to be going away after a while, but some of them aren't and I don't know what it is...

Overall I've had a pretty lame experience with this ghost armor...but I don't know what else to do with my phone, since the naked Gorilla Glass received two scratches within two weeks of babying this device. Is my first ghost armor a fluke? Should I get it reinstalled hoping that it'll be better, or should I get a refund and get protection from somewhere else? Sorry for the long post, but thanks for reading!

Love the BSE full body skin!!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Doxy17:
I have a ZAGG skin on my phone, with a pretty cool design on it, so far I really like it, I have had it for probably about a week... it looks slick, sticks very nicely as far as i can tell... I have noticed a little bit of lint on the edges... but not too much to really bother me. I think it adds some nice flair to my phone.

I really despise cases... I will probably never get one, they are just too big and bulky to have in my pocket.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] -Roze-:
hmm...if you get another amour reinstall and it gives you the same issue, are you allow a refund abeit within a few days after?

I'm surprise you got scratches on the Gorilla Glass :(
[Atrix 4G Accessories] thebeardedchild:
I'm surprised too! It sucks...I purposely didn't put any covers on it because I thought that since I am OCD and take care of my stuff insanely, it wouldn't be hurt. But two scratches appeared and I don't know where they were from. But anyway, I believe the Ghost Armor has a 30 money back guarantee, so I assume getting it reapplied wouldn't change anything. So yeah I was just thinking that if it did suck again I could get a refund... I was just posting on here to see if anyone maybe knew if I could hope for better results next time :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] spacescreamer:
I am using an Atrix with the Gadget Shieldz applied by a friend for full body.

The film on the screen has wrinkles on it which catches the eye at times, weirdly though.. the shieldz is applied perfectly otherwise on rest of the phone.

However my main grudge is, that the screen tends to get greasy prints after using the phone for a short while. Ofc these get wiped off easily with a piece of cloth but because the film is not matte in nature, those marks irritate at times.

Planning to replace the screen film only atm.

Now my few queries:

1) Those grease marks.. are they due to oil or something similar?

2) Getting something like SGP Oleophobic screen will solve my problem ?

3) Very Important: My first instinct was to get a matte finish guard, but i been reading that Matte finish screen protector are not good. A friend mentioned that the display becomes

blurry

. Is that true ??

I dont get the crystal shield here so i dont even know why its called like that (Clarity / non film like material used). Will be sourcing from USA, so Pls do provide me with answers and links/source to procure whatever screen guard which suits my requirements in the most cost effective manner. I would be very thankful.

PS: I read few threads but somehow seem to have missed the 40+ pages one.

link me up for that pls..

Does anyone know about ishieldz? I didn't see them on first page. Looks like the wireless wave in calgary carries these only. In comparison to sgp and empire and zag?

Just wondering which one is going to best for clearness, fingerprints glare etc.

Thanks,

The Gorilla Glass on the Atrix is oleophobic, in addition to being comparable to sapphire crystal in scratch resistance. Adding a film to Gorilla Glass is like covering steel with aluminum foil for protection.

If I understood right at least some DVPs have radios capable of using both T-Mobile US's 3G network and European 3G networks. Has anyone tried this? Are we sure that all DVPs have the same radios? Or do the European ones have the US frequencies disabled or something?

Thanks in advance for any info,

Tom
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
The US ones have AWS for TMOUS, and European 900/2100.

Whether they will actually provision correctly and be usable w/ 3G services in non-US locales is anyone's guess. The US DVP has only just recently been unlockable and I don't think we have had any reports of actual int'l roaming success yet.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I think its been mentioned in the unlocking thread that people have used it in Europe and from the listing of the DVP I've seen the specs indicate its has the exact frequencies as the US one. I would expect it to work, unless Dell has done something really screwy (but thats not impossible) but hopefully someone can confirm for sure.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
People are claiming that European DVPs have AWS 3G support? I don't think so.

Although it is conceivable that it's there and simply unadvertised, I believe non-US DVPs have 900/2100 *only*.

US DVPs have 900/2100 *and* AWS.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Actually I was referring to people with US handsets being used in Europe, not the other way round. And its possible the Euro version is hte same as the US one, looking at a video of a DVP released in India it shows the same frequencies as the US one, and Clove also lists the same 3G frequencies so I would lean towards all DVP's bring usable in Europe and the US.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
With today's big news, what's the point?

Once AT&T shuts off AWS UMTS in a year or so we are all gonna be left with paperweights anyway.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
NAY, I SAY THEE NAY!!!!!!!! Could be right though, but I was planning on ditching the DVP for a penta band Nokia so I guess I'll be ok - save for being on at&t! :(
[Venue Pro General] Alechka:
3G works here :)
[Venue Pro General] seaephpea:
They are saying it will take "several years" to transition T-Mobile users. Lets hope the regulators see sense and block it in any case...
[Venue Pro General] seaephpea:
So I have a European DVP now. Anyone know of an app that will tell me the radio frequencies it supports? The System Info one doesn't seem to.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
It supports 900 and 2100.
[Venue Pro General] seaephpea:
How did you find that out? The box says UMTS 2100/1700/900.
[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
The European box says the phone inside supports 1700?
[Venue Pro General] eXtermia:
my US T-mobile DVP (unlocked) works fine on tmobile Germany and I get about 3000k download 2500k upload. I am in a fairly bad region for network speeds. But I have hit upwards of 7000k download in some bigger cities.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
i started to notice this weird thing. when i unlock my device, it would be running some random app.

i realized that right after i press the lock button, if i press an app then it would open it.....

so what happens is

1. im on the home screen

2. i click the lock button

3. right before the screen becomes dark, i accidentally click an app.

4. when i unlock the device later i see the app opened..

any fix for this? i started to get annoyed...

and if you cant understand please tell me what step you dont understand..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Hows your phone supposed to know you accidentally pushed an app button? Of course the app is gonna stay opened while locked. YOU told it to open.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Pretty much what ConeyKiller said. It's your fault for turning the app on before you locked the device.

It's like you're saying it's annoying you left the stove on before you left your house...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
But shouldn't the phone not open any app after I pressed the lock button?

I press the lock button. Then the phone should lock immediately. However captivate lock after about 0.1 sec....

I don't think you guys get what I'm saying..

I did not open the app and then locked.

I locked my phone and then opened the app...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
Which is.... your fault? And imo not worth making a thread. Just don't hit the screen after you lock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
You said you accidently clicked on the app. The phone does not know what is an accident or not. YOU TOLD IT TO OPEN.THE PHONE DOES WHAT IT IS TOLD TO DO.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddha99:
If I've understood your question correctly, my answer would be:

yes, I guess there is a slight lag.

Your "accidental" action would have already been enqueued to be processed prior to completion of the lock.

Just might be a little detail to keep in mind of how the lock method has been implemented.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
thanks for understanding. Is there a way to get rid of the lag?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagle132:
I have a rooted Captivate running 2.2 stock. It is also unlocked and I am currently using the phone in the UK with a pay as you go sim card from Orange. I therefore updated to 2.2 through Kies Mini. All was well.

Then all of a sudden, I would make or get a call, and could hear nothing. Not even the ringing as it was connecting to them. And on the other end of the line, they couldn't hear me either. It is as if the Captivate was connecting the call, but the rest of it'd hardware (mic and speaker) was turned off.

This doesn't always happen, probably 1 out of every 2 calls. I've learned that by restarting the phone I can normally make a working call. However, sometimes, all I will hear is muffled static, as if the sound coming from the other person was all distorted. I will hang up and call back to no sound whatsoever.

I'm really not sure what the problem is, it's very odd. Everything else functions as it should.

Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
Try going back to stock and starting over? It sounds like it is something with the software since it was working before the update.

Please respond here if you are using the portable wifi feature of your nexus one and getting any SMS or e-mail notification from AT&T that they want you to pay for tethering.

I hear stories about people who get the "unlimited" data plan and then straight up abuse it (by providing internet for their entire household), which is probably why this is happening.

150+GB a month is what I consider abuse btw.
[Nexus One General] The Robot Cow:
I don't see why you should pay for tethering. I think its just another way for them to make more money. Maybe for some people they don't wanna pay to have a separate internet source when they can use their phones as their internet source. I don't tether since atm I don't have unlimited data lol.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Should be free and only pay for data...just another reason why I left at$t years ago!
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
I have T-Mobile and as of right now my "unlimited" is still unlimited but once you exceed 5GB for the month is DRAMATICALLY slows down.

I just moved in to a new place with my wife and son and I'm trying to cut down on extra bills (I'm the only working parent right now) so I don't have internet, I just tether off my phone.

I just exceeded 5GB for the first time ever and its horrible. I'm moving so slow, on my phone that is, its unreal.

The only people getting flagged are iPhone accounts that are extreme abusers.

If you are abusing the service that much, then you should be paying for the higher package IMO.

I tether on my unlimited plan and have never had a problem, but I also don't abuse it. I barely break 1gb a month.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Because iOS's silly separate tethering config makes it easy to know exactly how much it's getting used. Not so simple on phones that route tethered data through the normal APN.
[Nexus One General] undyingsum:
Yeah, I use tethering on my N1 on AT&T everyday and I haven't gotten anything from them yet. I don't abuse it, but where my house is, sort of in the woods (in Pennsylvania) where I can't get anything better than dial-up, so I use it just for basic email, Facebook, etc.
[Nexus One General] machina77:
3UK now offer "all you can eat" data on Pay as you go. i plan to swap my T-Mobile SIM to my old 3 after this contract is up, i really hope the plan is still available then as i can see this being abused from day one!!
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I tether my tablet to my phone almost daily, but it's pretty small usage. I am only using 300-400 megs a month on 3G now since AT&T took my unlimited away when they screwed with my account a while back. I mostly update or do stuff on wifi at home.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
They don't allow tethering on PAYG. Same as Giffgaff, unlimited data without FUP, but no tethering.
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
I got a similar message from Cincinnati Bell Wireless, but they have not charged me. I don't really use tethering all that much.
[Nexus One General] machina77:
Ah! cheers for that info :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Doesn't mean they'll ever notice you doing it, of course ;)
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
What I am having trouble understanding is what evidence is at&t Mobility using to determine if one is tethering or not.

They have a few choices, but as far as I can tell, none of them are perfect and all will have false positives.

[Networking] I Am Marino:
Just a question I was wondering as I read reviews on the Thunderbolt, a point was made about how speedy Verizon's LTE network was but they said speeds would fluctuate as more people got the service available in their area and more 4G eligible phones were running.

So that leaves me to this, as more people start the shift to "4G" in whatever form the carriers want to call it, will the carrier's 3G networks see an increase even if minor in speed as less people will be using the 3G services?

This is in mind of people like me who will not see a 4G phone anytime soon for whatever reason, contract not even close, 4G not available, etc.
[Networking] pixelodin:
i am on 3g and i get about 4.50 mbps some time even 5 mbps that is after 12:00 am day time is not that bad and i think it will get better then this
[Networking] FLAC Vest:
This depends on how many people are going to switch and how conjested the tower was to begin with.

If you aren't being throttled (ATT anyway), I get around 3 down and 1 up here in Tallahassee.

In large cities where there are a lot of people on single towers or in buildings and wwhatnot, those signals are going to be a lot less.

If a LOT of people switched to LTE, we might see some change, but it is probably going to be a while.
[Networking] I Am Marino:
Well at one point, my 3G was faster but now it seems slow, maybe I'm just too used to Wifi but I'm pretty sure I'm not being throttled, I never hit the 5GB soft cap.
[Networking] oka1:
I get 5.5 down and 2-2.5 up in San Francisco area Don't know it will make any change unless they change the upper limit on the soft cap.
[Networking] Applefaq:
I love love 4g but 3G is better
[Networking] TrueYears:
well, you really gotta understand the technologies (if any) behind "4G"

Tmobile and ATT are now using HSPA+ for their "4G" which in reality its just 3GPP evolved

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_HSPA

sprint is using Winmax I believe which is gaining popularity in some areas ( I believe Clear using that as well) and Verizon is using LTE. And even LTE doesnt meet the requirements to be called "4G"

Being described as a 3.9G (beyond 3G but pre-4G) technology the first release LTE does not meet the IMT Advanced requirements for 4G also called IMT Advanced as defined by the International Telecommunication Union such as peak data rates up to 1 Gbit/s. The ITU has invited the submission of candidate Radio Interface Technologies (RITs) following their requirements as mentioned in a circular letter. LTE Advanced should be compatible with first release LTE equipment, and should share frequency bands with first release LTE.

so in reality, all these 4G marketing is just 3G technology better optimized

the requirements for 4G were a bit too demanding ITU had to lowered them down
[Networking] I Am Marino:
I'm aware that the current 4G technology isn't technically 4G although I've read the governing body lowered their requirements.

Hi,

I get stuck with this one. I dont know how to fix it anyway, I tried with many ways but no successful.

1. It always show demo video after 30 secs, I tried to turn it off but I dont know how. Tried with hard reset but not succesful, I still got this issue. Some says its demo mode, how to disabled it?

2. My phone shows demo content, I tried to delete all these contents. Reset phone + hardreset but still show these demo contents.

3. No way to add live account, it always show email something@example.com, I cant connect to marketplace. I was add account, but after that, it shows demo account, not what I entered. I tried with reset + hardreset but no successful. Add other account types are ok. But I wont connect to marketplace without live account.

- I still add sim and call, sms, connect wifi, connect with PC ok. But these above errors make me crazy, HOW TO FIX IT??? I cant get upgrade on zune, it shows error on zune & there is no update for this phone. Is there any way to help me.

Thank you

Hi guys,

I'm an Android n00b and I need some help. I'm sure the answer to my problem is simple,

I flashed Android revolution 3.2 hd to my DHD. To do it I downloaded VISIONary+ and Terminal Emulator to root the device and installed h-boot. I also installed Radio s-off and clockwork recovery. Now i want to flash my radio but it says not to flash with clockwork, so I'm wondering if someone could tell me or point me to a link how to flash it seeing as I can't get to bootloader?

Thanks

P.S. I've searched the inter-webs and these forums but I couldn't find anything, but just in case, sorry if this has been answered before and I'm wasting space!

Turn off fastboot. Shutdown your phone. Now, while booting, press volume down and power button till you get a white screen with three androids on skateboard.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
Poll: Do you find Froyo (latest JS8) slower than Eclair? (JM9)

Going from Eclair to froyo originally felt like a good few steps backwards.

Things have improved lately now that samsung improved their firmwares, however go back to jm9 for a few minutes and you will see they have a long way to go to even catch up with the performance we used to have.

Eclair lagfixed JM9:

A smooth notification bar, with no lag, ever

An AMAZING browser, much better then even the froyo hardware accelerated one

Much better touch screen responsiveness

All we got from froyo was a few benchmark score improvements, performance as a whole is actually quite poor.

If community development had split equally with froyo and eclair, i would definitely have stuck with eclair.

What do the rest of you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
I thought it was my imagination but when I was cleaning up my phone with jm9 before a flash to jv1 I was amazed with speed and smoothness on jm9. Js8 does feel a little slow but all the new minor tweeks here and there add up to a total better experience (Flash player). Jv1 improved will be off the hook I reckon. Almost kept it even with all the bugs as its so smooth and fast.

Lets hope someone's mate is right soon...

I think, in terms of interface smoothness 2.1 is better, but filesystem lag is lower (but far from ideal, though) on 2.2.1. And 2.2 is the worst of them all.
