[Vibrant Accessories] whatmonster:
So fairly recently i purchased the Cyclops case from Trident after watching

bobofosho123

video review and figured i'd make a post about the case and raise awareness of a good case :)

The case overall is great. It added the bulk and safe to grasp feel to the phone, without the case I always feel like i'll crush it in my bear like grip :D:D

Ordered it in White, probably a mistake as the white took on a dirty color to it rather quickly. the white plastic on the back side feels soft and gentle. And the silicon outer ring is great for what it does. I've launched the phone outta my lap a few times getting out of my truck and everything is all stars and sparkles still (good).

Has the built in screen protector which I have not noticed to alter the touch sensitivity at all, (also great at protecting.) And just about 0 picture alteration. The protector also covers the light sensor... which i have noticed causes the phone to not recognize it's not near your face after a call is over.

-so i cut it out- and everything is swell again.

The power and volume buttons on the side work wonderfully with the silicon strip over them.

**Couple other downsides for me, might have been the molding on the silicon for my specific case, but the tabs to pull the plug out of the usb and headphone jack seemed almost non existent making it rather hard to open them up.

And the seperatly purchased holster has been out of stock forever. ((((EDIT)))) finally in stock and ordered

because of this I put the phone in my pocket and like most silicon and gel cases it collects pocket fuzzies of doom rather well.

the closeness of the bezel near the screen does make it hard to bring down the notification slide. ( but i use the swipe down gesture in ADW for that anyways.)

After having quite a few cases, the casemate you can get at the tmobile store, the gel cases, some plasticy snap ons, just a generic belt holster thing, otterboxes case. I will stick with the cyclops.

All in all worth every $$ it cost. I.M.O.
[Vibrant Accessories] streetrider nick:
I have to say that I disagree, I originally purchased this case and I was disgusted by the quality.

In my experience the built in screen cover really took away a lot of screen sensitivity. I had to apply a lot more pressure to type any of the letters on the side of the screen, even using when using swype! So I ended up removing the built in screen protector, it was no big deal it popped out with a little pressure.

The next problem I had with this case was the headphone and micro usb port connectors, the phone already has a usb dust shield built in so why protect it? They were just too hard to remove and I use my vibrant daily to listen to music and to transport files between home and school so this was another annoyance.

I used the case for about two weeks before I could not stand the bulk and the cheap feel of this case, I swear the silicone would pop out of place every time I put it in my pocket.

After everything was said and done I went back to my body glove case and used it until it broke because I dropped my phone while riding my bike then I ordered up an otterbox and could not be happier. Best case for the vibrant in my opinion, slim, no frills and plenty of protection.

Don't buy one of these cases it is a waste of $30, trident cases are nothing but poorly designed bs.
[Vibrant Accessories] ladyjhova0928:
I also have the Trident case and am.very happy with it. It provides wonderful protection for me. The only

Issue for me is that it is not pretty to look at lol I'm s girl lol. The black and grey.was the best looking out of the selection and goes quite well with the Trigger rom I love so much. I like the look of the Otterbox and may purchase one in the future. For ultimate protection I would recommend the Cyclops case. No issues with the screen protection at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGibbage:
I have heard of people here switching APNs, but I never really understood why anyone would do this. To make a long story short, is there an APN that I can use that will give my phone an external routable IP address? It doesn't even have to be permanent--I can use a dynDNS client. Are there any side effects that I should be aware of when switching APNs?

If I can switch APNs, what are all the settings? I went to the Add APN screen, and there are a bunch of settings there, and I did not know what to put in there. My current APN is epc.tmobile.com

(Optional reading here for why I want to do this. May give important insight???)

I was testing a new (to me) program on my phone, "Growl for Android". It allows the phone to receive notifications from a PC, such as "Server is down", or in my case since I intend to connect it to my home automation system, things like "Alarm disarmed", or even "Alarm is sounding". So, my PC runs continuous tests, checks, whatever, and if it detects something noteworthy, it pushes the notification to my phone. Or said another way, my phone runs a small server to receive notifications from a PC running a Growl client. The problem is, my phone does not have a permanent IP address. When I am connected to my WiFi at home, it does have a permanent IP address, but when I am just on cellular, there is no telling what the IP address is. So, dynDNS to the rescue. Well, guess what? That won't work either because the phone apparently has non-routable IP addresses (we are behind a router). I had heard in a forum for the Growl application that a different APN may help. So I am asking here.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerChaser:
Anyone have an idea why I cant view embedded pictures with the stock email client? Yes, I clicked "show pictures". All I get is a small question mark. K-9 shows them but I like the stock client better. My guess is they are not being downloaded. This is on a Xoom WiFi. Thanks

I'm pretty sure I'm going to order one, that looks pretty nice!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] commodoor:
yhea it looks really nice, here (netherland) they had a little contest, on twitter, and give away three. too bad didn't get one :(
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ronniecross:
I have this. It's nice, and does the job well. I use it for the shower and also my morning alarm, but be wary of the purpose you want it for. if it's for watching tv, etc, remember the positioning of the headphone port on the XArc is on the side and not the top/bottom so the phone rests in portrait view not landscape.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] commodoor:
This was exactly what i was thinking about, landscape works wel with older xperia phones like x10
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Nimche:
Do you mind sharing a photo of your speaker attaching to your arc?

It would be nice.

Thanks.

PS, its a truly nice speaker for what it is.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] kitsVA:
Please can you post picture of Arc being used with MS430? I am not able visualize how Arc can stand in portrait mode with this speaker.

Never mind found it. Looks cool :-)

[Xperia Arc Accessories] Retrosid:
Pink arc?

[Xperia Arc Accessories] elpapo:
Nice, but i miss a built in charger!
[Xperia Arc Accessories] JohnBox:
This would be so sick if it could charge the phone too xD
[Xperia Arc Accessories] ndrs:
it looks great! btw other housings like white and pink can be obtained at ebay :)

There are several colors available.

-Honeycomb (of course)

-Dual core CPU

-Gorilla Glass

-Great screen (something like the Super Amoled of my Galaxy S)

-Can be Wi-fi only

Any suggestion?

I think the Xoom is still the only Honeycomb tablet out at the moment, in about a month or so, more will be coming out to look into, like the Acer one.

Hi all,

I just got a NookColor with intentions to use after rooting it. :) ;

While I haven't started any yet, just wanted to check if there's any way to get all the NC factory settings back intact, in case I run into any roadblock during the process of rooting?

Appreciate your valuable feedback.

Thanks in advance,

Hi does anybody know how to get ride of viewing the mobile views of sites permanently in these browser?its annoying to change it all the time on some web pages to the classic view
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audichris9:
Yes

I don't have my tab with me but I was able to change it through the settings. Change one of the options from Android to desktop and that's all you need. If you can't find it I can look on my tab later and give you more specifics.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoppe01:
There are anecdotal reports of failures for data overseas. I'll be in both Taiwan and Hong Kong the end of the month and am potentially worried. Does anyone have substanitive knowledge of issues in either of these locales ? Or anywhere else for that matter.

I have an international Roaming plan for Data and voice. I'm coming from a BB 9700 and there were never issues while overseas.

Thanks !!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoppe01:
Here's an update -

The phone worked without a hitch in both Hong Kong and Taipei - automatically found a carrier and voice, text and data are working fine. I was asked to accept the international data roaming once in Hong Kong and again in Taipei.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badnokia:
Curious if either of you (or others) have tried something like XCom's MiFi while traveling. Was thinking of giving it a try with my Atrix later this year in Europe as I think it might be a big cost savings over AT&T international plans.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoppe01:
Sorry but no - my costs are covered by employer so for me it's not an issue
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Roze-:
Then it's pointless asking you what carrier has the cheapest PAYG voice/data plan in HK :P haha.

Hi,

i think i have a really big issue here.

I tried to install the Mondo Rom, but i had cm7 and android 2.3 before, so i had to flash back to amon-ra recovery.

I did everything the tutorial said, but it just wont work, soo then there was a great idea that i came up with:

lets try to format the sd card.. and yeaah now i got one problem.

My Phone stucks while booting at the "Tattoo" logo.

I just can boot into recovery or hboot , fastboot wont work, because my computer isn´t recognizing my phone :/

What should i do?

oh and i can´t go into mount usb either it just says:

"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

please help, because i need to go to the hospital tomorrow and i need my cellphone :S
[Click General] dancer_69:
If you can boot to recovery, why you don't flash the rom again, or maybe another rom, in case that you have problems with mondo rom?
[Click General] JortumHmD:
same problem

i´ve updated yesterday my tattoo to the latest cm7 rom. Everything worked very well, but today it´s restarting the whole time.

it come untill pin and then restart. I dont undestand whats the problem.

I´ve flashed the rom again and wiped erverything but nothing :(
[Click General] timlambo:
Try to put your memory card in another phone or in a card reader. Format your sd card again. Put a rom on it and try to install it.
[Click General] JortumHmD:
problem solved

i solved my problem after installing an old backup of the old sense rom

and after that i wiped data and installed the new rom

and nnow it´s working

Looking at the picture at the link below. It seems the chrome ring around the cameras is flaking off. Has anyone else seen this in any other of the pictures?

[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
It's a reflection. Don't you think "cheap build quality" would have been shouted from the roof tops by now? Honestly, with a picture that small, you can't judge anything but the shape of the phone. Email PPCGeeks to investigate the original photo about your concerns instead of complaining to us. When they post an article that a sharp eyed reader brought to their attention, tell us all about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] searcher61:
Unbelievable.... Ask a simple question and get shouted down. I have been on this forum for years. Now EVERYTIME I post anything... I get responses like this.... Unbelievable. This is why I don't post much here.

[HTC EVO 3D] jamaicansolja:
Wasn't a very intelligent post. What did u expect?
[HTC EVO 3D] searcher61:
Neither are the responses. It looked like the chrome was flaking off...wondering if it was, or if anyone else had anything to add. Btw, I sent a message to the writer of the Engadget article the picture was from, waiting for a reply.

Good on ya for taking my advice to contact the people who took the picture... Now we might be able to have a constructive conversation when (if) they email you back.

Maybe some of that new age crap will make you feel better until another person suggests a proactive approach to get results instead of whine.
[HTC EVO 3D] nadcicle:
Regardless whether or not the chrome is flaking off (which it does look like flaked off chrome). It has been said once from the sprint chick with the hands on video that they were recessing the cameras further into the phone so they don't get scratched up as much.

I hope this is true.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Actually you were quite douchey, typical of first responders.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
For having my mom die two days before that post, I thought I was rather calm and not snarky.

Wouldn't it be nice for people to just ask the source instead of rumor-monger though? Hence my suggestion to ask the person that took the picture instead of asking the site about a photo that is most likely 1/10 the original... Not to mention hold the phone in his hands.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
I think what we are seeing in the picture is the protective plastic is still on the camera, I noticed it too when I saw the pic a while back. Early shots of the Evo Shift appeared to have a similar thing going on.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
SO........why are people still commenting on this?

(Ignore the fact that I commented :D )
[HTC EVO 3D] richiehd:
Because people would like a camera that isn't going to flake off because it's pushed out so much farther than the actual back of the phone. :p

Plastic adhesive on the camera is still in place and its been scuffed up.Thats what we're seeing.

[General Questions and Answers] persko:
Hi I flashed the RCMixHD ROM v 3.5 A2SD+ version to my Desire together with the circular battery mod (the file UOT-03-13-18-35-1.zip), and found a very bad battery life, battery died in 4 - 5 hours of idle, and it showed that Android OS was using most of the Battery. I then tried to copy the original framework-res.apk over in recovery mode, and voila, the battery life came back to an acceptable level.

It is nice to be able to see the battery life in percent; but if doing so is eating all my battery, it is not worth it. so the framework-res.apk in UOT-03-13-18-35-1.zip is obviously very bad, i did have a circular battery icon with percentage with my previous ROM, without that side effect. So I guess I need to build my own APK for this.

get circle battery the best one and in my opinion it doesn't eats the battery at all

[HD2 General] ofir_bl:
Hello

My working place don`t allow to enter it with devices which have built-in camera (the reason is to prevent industrial espionage).

I have 2 options, the first is to buy very old phone without camera - i prefer not to do this and the second one is to disassemble my hd2 camera.

I have seen the youtube disassembling hd2 video but in the video they didn`t disassemble the camera.

My quastion is if it hard to do it?

Can it cause to some software problems?

Is someone here have ever did it?

Do you have some guides or good links for this?

Thanks and sorry for my english.

Ofir
[HD2 General] Morto_jeffrey:
Maybe you can modify the software so that the camera doesnt work.

What OS do you have on your HD2.
[HD2 General] ofir_bl:
Hi,

Thanks for your answer,

I`m using andriod 2.3.3 but your solution isn`t good for them.

They want to see device without camera.
[HD2 General] Morto_jeffrey:
Oke thats kinda sucks.

I thinks the best way is to remove the cam en then remove the software as well.

I will try to find some more info how to remove it safety.
[HD2 General] watt9493:
Remove the camera bezel, then electrical tape over it with the cover off. Put the cover back on, and volla! No camera. :)

Is the rigit flex board is used only by the camera?

From the point of view the sound control buttons are on the rigit flex board as well.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EvzenEgonSigismund:
Hello :)

I have HTC Touch Pro2 rhodium with Windows. I have some applications frequently connecting to internet, e. g. email, weather etc. Now problem is, that I traveled abroad, where I don't have data tarif. So I disabled internet connection, but all apps are still trying to connect. As result, approximately every minute phone beep with popup screen "cannot connect" and backlite is turned on.

This behaviour

a) reduces batery life to less than eight hours from previous 1-2 days due to active backlite.

b) is making normal work with phone quite annoying as I must every moment click on some popup.

So my question is. Is it possible to somehow supress this popup?

(I don't want to hear advices about disabling automatic connecting in every single app :-)

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] awalt:
No way the question could be answered comprehensively not knowing all your apps, but at least for the generic ones like Weather, Location, etc., as you noted there are check boxes that can disable the attempt-to-connect if you are in roaming state. If you don't want to do this manually, it would not be that hard to build a .REG file that includes the settings to turn this off, and either import the reg file into a reg editor or convert the reg file to a cab file you can just click on and run. In the past I have found those reg file settings documented in these forums if you want to go that route.
