  • Why Having the HTC Thunderbolt on Long Road Trips can Be Essential

    There isn't one aspect of life that smart phones do not cover. Many smart phones come equipped with many features and capabilities that make travelling easier. The Thunderbolt is a smart phone made by HTC and it comes ready to help you safely get from one location to the other with all of the GPS and driving capabilities it has.

    First of all, the most important part of traveling is probably the ability to find out where you are going and eventually get there. In the past many travelers have used maps and then transitioned to GPS devices when they became more popular. GPS devices provided users with a lot more features that a regular map could not. They could provide feedback, in real-time, or the user could update the GPS maps or change and choose different routes. Recently, smart phones have become very essential to the way we carry out our lives so there have also been a number of GPS applications created that allow our smart phones to become miniature GPS devices.

    The most popular app available on Android powered smart phones like the HTC Thunderbolt for helping with traveling is probably Google Maps Navigation. This application is a mini version of the very popular website, Google Maps. It works just like the actual website; you only need to enter the starting location as well as any desired destination and you will be able to view a detailed map of your route.

    The app even features additional elements that you will have a difficult time finding in other apps, such as street views and satellite perspectives. The satellite view is an excellent way to view your destination of choice. If you have never been to the place you are travelling to then the street view feature will show you how it looks and you can get an idea of where you will be travelling to.

    Even though this application has most of the features that any traveler will need it is not the only one of choice. All smart phones have a number of different GPS applications offering the user not only convenience but choice so that they may pick one they feel comfortable with. There are also apps such as Co Pilot. Co Pilot is an app that resembles Google Maps Navigation in that you can simply plug in where you would like to go and find straight and simple directions to get you there from wherever you happen to be. Although they do share some features these applications are also a bit different. Many users believe that the Co Pilot UI is a lot friendlier than that of Google Maps. The Co Pilot program has more of a traditional GPS interface very similar to GPS devices like a Tom Tom or as a Garmin device.

    Finding directions has never been easier thanks to the help from these amazing cellular devices. Beyond these apps, you might want to look into some of the many HTC Thunderbolt accessories that are available, including an extra HTC Thunderbolt battery and an extra HTC Thunderbolt charger. These accessories can help you get the most out of your mobile device.

  • How to Install a Screen Protector Correctly on the HTC Thunderbolt

    If you truly love your HTC Thunderbolt, you will get a screen protector. If you want to keep your phone looking as new as it was when you first had it, a screen protector then keep your Thunderbolt looking the best possible. In this article, we'll teach you how to install one properly.

    One of the best HTC Thunderbolt accessories is a HTC Thunderbolt screen protector. Now for those unfamiliar with screen protectors, these accessories are ultra-thin pieces of film which help protect your phone from scratches and such. The screen protector could also protect it from any potential any other mishaps, like accidently dropping it and such. The protector will help shield your screen from the impact and prevent it from shattering all over the floor. And because of this, a screen protector is highly suggested. But you know what other accessory is considered just as important? The HTC Thunderbolt charger.

    There are a lot of different kinds of screen protectors to choose from with varying properties such as glare resistance, mirroring, privacy enhancing, or simply clear. The regular kind of screen protector is simply a nice, thin, clear layer that usually comes in packages of three. The privacy screen protector will prevent your screen from being viewed from anywhere except directly in front of the device. Although it will not reduce your visibility at all, it can keep your work private from the prying eyes of your friends and rivals. A mirrored screen protector provides the user with a mirror when the phone is turned off. Anti-glare screens provide excellent protection against the sun. And while these are different kinds of screen protectors, they are pretty much installed the same way.

    Before you do anything though, just make sure you read the instruction. Move into a room without any dust before you begin putting it one. Also wipe down the screen. If there are any tiny specks of dust left on your device, they will show up underneath the protector in all their painful brilliance and cause distraction and even scratching to the screen.

    Make sure the device is turned the right way so that the orientation of the protector matches up with the orientation of the device. Remove the screen protector from its case. Then slowly remove all the tabs attached to the screen protector. Once you are sure that is oriented correctly and the screen protector is in line with the screen, press down to apply the adhesive. Slowly remove the rest of the sheath while continuing to fix the rest of the screen protector to the other half of your device.

    Just make sure you clean all the dust off of the device because you decide to put the screen protector on. Grab the remaining tab and carefully peel the sheath down without touching the sheath itself.
