I always get a screen protector, no matter the phone. I know these screens are supposed to be scratch resistant, but that's not really 100% true. You will develop some kind of wear marks on it. The good protectors are practically invisible and don't affect the usage at all, so why not?

Invisible Shield?

I used that one on my phone and it worked well. Lasted about a year before I needed to remove it. Dont use one now but my phone is older and I dont care as much as I use to

Is it Maxx or the OG? Maxx has double the battery life.
I have used BodyGuardz since the original iPhone and have no complaints. They have a bunch of new styles of protectors now, and you get 2 shields for 25$, which I believe is the price for 1 shield at IS.
No, the regular white one.

Tapatalk, Chu Chu Rocket and Beautiful Widgets are free on GetJar! other stuff too, but i don't count the stuff that was free on Amazon Appstore!
We TouchPad owners already had the 50GB box.net promotion way before it was hip.

Can someone help me get Steam on my Android phone?
I'm using a Samsung Captivate from AT&T and it doesn't let me download apps outside the Android Market, and I cannot find Steam in the Android Market.
I tried the website but it says my account doesn't have a device. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't see tapatalk? But I did get Chu Chu so thanks
you probably searched "steam", so try searching "valve corporation"
also try sending the link to your phone and open it via market
Seems like a waste to me. No scratches on my Evo after almost 2 years, and I keep it in pockets with keys/coins and drop it occasionally. I've chipped the casing, but the screen is pristine. Before I bought the phone I remember seeing videos of guys taking razor blades to the glass and failing to scratch it.
I've had a Nexus S for about at year now and I'm pretty rough with it. It's often in my pocket with keys and I've dropped it a lot. The screen looks brand new. It's really amazing.

I never ever get a screen protector. Just never put it in a pocket with keys and nothing should happen. I put it in my jeans or my jacket pockets and nothing has ever happened to my screens. I only get something for the back of phones.
What?? I need you to go back and get the Maxx so you can experience the best battery life for a cellphone ever... otherwise get a galaxy nexus!

I always notice screen protectors and they make the screen look a bit.. Off.. Never have used one and never have scratched the glass, with rough usage.

I'm pretty sure they can detect IMEI and know it's one of their own phones and consequently, what phone it is. My assumption is that they would add a data plan shortly after he started using it. I could be wrong though. I know they do it for their iPhones.

because they can. If you buy phone outright you can change it though.

The system does sweeps and finds the IMEI in service, if a smart phone it automatically tags it with the larger data plan. Sometimes it happens really fast and other times it can take a few days. But it will happen.
If you have a sim card in it and make calls it is on their network. The terms and conditions state that a smart phone will be required to have a data plan and the system automates that.
This only works for AT&T branded phones though, right (like the Atrix, unfortunately for this person's brother.)
If someone brought like a Galaxy Nexus to their network and tried this, they wouldn't be caught, right?
My previous plan was with at&t and my last phone was an iPhone that I bought off ebay, which I jailbroke and disabled the data on.
It showed an iPhone on my account page but I was never charged for 3G in the 2+ years I used the phone.

you can buy screen protectors off of amazon for like $5 and they work better than IG. IG always leaves air bubbles. I got 3 screen protectors for my old EVO from amazon and they work well! Plus you can remove and put them back on as much as you want.

I borrowed a demo LG Nitro at work a few month ago to do this when they were giving away the 50GB deal for LG owners. Don't use it much, but it's nice having another spot to save things.
Are you all up to date with software on that thing?? I could have sworn in one of the updates to that thing they enabled the "Unknown Sources" checkbox to allow this. I would check with my own personal Captivate, but that thing hasn't been stock for a LOOOONG time.
hey no worries, you have to use it everyday, you should like it

Getjar is such a fucking battery drain. Past few weeks I was wondering why my phone won't last 8 hours and why it is continously awake. Then I found out it was caused by that app.
Good riddance.

I normally download it, get the app I was too cheap to buy, and uninstall getjar.

I tried searching "valve corporation" and no dice.
I wonder why it doesn't show up.
I'm assuming you're on your computer right now.

Go to that link and log in to your gmail account, then press the install button. That would do everything for you. It automagically sends the app to your phone as long as your phone is turned on.

you don't need to keep GetJar on the device, it's not like the Amazon Appstore where the apps stop working if you remove it.

OK, the rest of the phone is pretty meh, but the unlock method on the new LG Optimus 4X is sweet as hell. It's sort of like the circle unlock in Honeycomb, or on the Galaxy Note, but you can unlock from anywhere, and when you drag out the circle, it reveals the homescreen desktop beneath it. Really a nice touch....

yeah, it's supposed to be an option in the Gingerbread update that released last month.
that does look sweet, but smh @ their ICS launcher.

I don't think you can. I think its a new feature in Android 4. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

some phone manufacturers built it in before then, and there are some apps that will do it if you're rooted.

It is better than their Froyo/GB stuff, but yea, they just can't seem to ever leave things alone. They always have to muck with things, and often with horrific results. Case in point, the Optimus 3D Max....

I like how the phones are bigger than their fucking heads. Is this normal these days?

Yeah and it seems to be getting normal. This one girl in my class is just over 5 feet tall and she has a Galaxy Nexus. At first I thought she was using a Note because of how tiny her hands were.
