material on HTC's screen, is it:
1) glass 2) plastic the question comes due to the problem of: a) high friction which slows down scrolling using finger b) finger print smudge on the screen I've tried a matte, anti-fingerprint, and anti-scratch screen protector that made friction less but definitely still presents the fingerprint smudge problem and worse of all, leave scratches the moment it is applied onto the screen~ Wildfire users, how do u use your touchscreen and is there a way out for the above-mentioned disadvantages?~ |

But the con side is that clarity will be slightly reduce and also will not be as smooth compare to clear type screen protector. thanks for your input~ i thought matte = anti-glare~ it should improve clarity when under the sun~ smoothness I can confirm is more coz I really feel it when I compare the 3 weeks of no matte and 1 week of matte~QUOTE(ShinAsuka @ Oct 3 2010, 10:52 PM) got pouch should be ok will glossy screen protector make it hard to see when under the sun?~waiting my pouch to arrive also xD that's also 1 of reason i seldom let people touch my phone Added on October 3, 2010, 10:53 pm dunno is it just me that it doesn't look right if the screen is not glossy QUOTE(hot_hunt @ Oct 3 2010, 10:58 PM) dude, al those accessories seems useless in my opinion~ the best is the car charger, if anyone uses it for radio broadcasting or GPS while travelling in a car~QUOTE(elscorcho14 @ Oct 4 2010, 03:30 PM) hey everyone, a newbie wildfire user here, just looking for some opinion. any recommendations on a case/cover for wildfire? am currently using capdase soft jacket 2 xpose, just weighing other options. tq. in my opinion, no casing is the best, i don't see any scratches on any part of the phone except for the screen protector, man, i HATE the screen protector~QUOTE(danieloo @ Oct 4 2010, 03:52 PM) Guys, any of you try connecting your Wildfire with Ad-Hoc wireless connection thru a internet-connected PC (hot-spot)? mind enlightening me on what is ad-hoc wireless?~ i'm a newbie~I've tested the whole morning, it's unsuccessful. Because Android can't connect on adhoc basis. Is there any better solution? FYI, my office does not allow Wireless router due to Fix IP issued for each person. Only way is to connect thru my notebook's internet. Well, you may ask me, why need internet on Wildfire, since already on notebook...because - Pingchat & Whatsapp social app in my Wildfire, can't connect from notebook. Please kindly advise any better solution. Using 3G or HSDPA is draining my battery very much. Tested, at home last Sat, whole day connected to WiFi, it's more battery saving compare to connect to 3G. QUOTE(KHOdin @ Oct 4 2010, 04:17 PM) try PPT Remote~QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 4 2010, 05:07 PM) no VOIP?!~ crap!~ i'm sure skype doesn't support any HTC but that's going to far~ anyway, is it confirmed that our hardware can't handle it?~QUOTE(coltrain @ Oct 4 2010, 06:48 PM) I saw someone post a picture for the desktop chager.....it looks nicer while the phone charge and stand at the same time.... just a cradle la~QUOTE(ShinAsuka @ Oct 4 2010, 07:22 PM) lucky of the unlucky what kind of scratch are we talking about here?~IMO invi-shield only can protect against scratch impact wise still silicon case the best |

i really don't understand why anyone would use any form of casing for Wildfire~ the back cover doesn't get scratched, the screen isn't protected, and the lens get no protection anyway~
anyone overclocked Wildfire here?~ I'm definitely overclocking, just don't know where to start~ |

I'm in need of help for one last app to complete my stock Wildfire overhaul -> Keyboard with 0 - 9 numbers as seperate keys is there such a keyboard?~ in a previous post, I mentioned that typing on the stock keyboard lags badly and I think it's because of the T9 but still, I believe there should be better customization options to reduce the T9~ please help me if anyone knows of a better keyboard~ thanks!~ |

QUOTE(michael9413 @ Oct 11 2010, 10:45 AM) well i don have any screen protector and my wildfire don have any visible scratch on the screen i agree, totally useless and do more harm than good~ i don't know whether it's plastic screen or glass screen that Wildfire has but protector doesn't help for me as I can't detect scratches without screen protector~i think a lot of us also did that... deleted a lot of apps to free up the space... i don think anyone had tried that... i'm using 16GB no problem at all...

QUOTE(harryfoo @ Oct 11 2010, 01:53 PM) Dude. Screen protector for what? VERY OBVIOUS IT'S FOR WHAT LOR... Still need further explanation? Protect the screen from being scratch? for scratches from significantly sharper objects, i have no opinion~ for less sharp ones, I've not encountered problems but that was for 3 weeks~QUOTE(cheehing @ Oct 11 2010, 01:55 PM) let me correct myself, it's extra non-necessary permissions as compared to normal Market apps~QUOTE(whitegoh @ Oct 11 2010, 02:04 PM) I don't think screen protector offers much protection against this~ the weakness is much more than the advantage(s)~ my cheapo screen protector is so scratched by the end of 1st week it looks like a 1-year old phone~QUOTE(harryfoo @ Oct 11 2010, 02:07 PM) my words against yours coz no specs on glass or plastic material for the ~ |

QUOTE(Manufacture @ Oct 11 2010, 09:33 PM) Haha, are you sure this sorta pouch suit you ah? You know that kind pouch which looks like a purse. Have a strap on the zipper which usually girls use? I bought it frm those small booths in shopping mall.nice to use whn I go for work also.. coz got card slot inside. QUOTE(KHOdin @ Oct 11 2010, 09:44 PM) SMS backup+ and another software forgot what name~ got backup to uSD~gonna root and flash new ROM to overclock to 768MHz~ in my opinion, it's really a waste of time to test things if there's any intention of flashing anyway~ there are bugs all around and I think they are all caused by uninstallations and new program installations~ one way to know which one did it is to install 1 by 1~ |

quick questions:
1) do I do unRevoked3 first and then flash ROM? or no need unRevoked3 with Wildpuzzle? 2) what is the pre-requisite for the Micro SD card? Need to format/partition in what way? |

QUOTE(harryfoo @ Oct 11 2010, 06:21 PM) When I bought my new original Wildfire, the shop did provide me a warranty card and ask me to wrote down my details and they stamped it. So be careful with this seller. Ask him to give you the warranty card. confirmed con case~ buy from authorized reseller~ I kena con by a LYN seller already~ |
