[HTC Incredible S] nitroshockwave:
I just got my Otterbox Commuter today! I already had a screen protector on, so can't comment on the one that came with the Commuter.

However, overall first impressions are pretty good. It was extremely easy to install, but still feels very secure on the phone. It fits very nicely, with all the ports covered by silicone flaps. The power button and volume rocker have silicone rubber on top of them as well, so that they're still easy to press. There are small holes cut out of the top and bottom for the tiny (docking?) holes that the Inc S has.

My main concern before buying the Commuter was bulk, as I'm sure a lot of you are concerned about as well. Good news! It feels a lot more compact in my hand than I was expecting..doesn't feel very significantly thicker, but seems to feel a bit wider. It still looks fairly svelte, although it seems the vacuum-packed look of the Inc S's back cover is slightly reduced.

I measured the new dimensions, and it's about 1.75 cm thick, 6.8 cm wide (excluding the volume rocker), and 12.4 cm tall (excluding the power button). I didn't measure the phone beforehand, but htc.com lists it as 1.17cm x 6.4cm x 12.0cm. I guess my gut feel of it being much wider was a bit off.

Weight-wise, it's definitely heavier, but not terribly so.

One con that I've noticed is that the hard back is slightly slippery, as others have pointed out. I haven't felt like it's about to slide out of my hand when holding it normally, but the phone does feel significantly more slippery when manipulating it by holding its sides alone. (Not sure if that's clear, but I used to set my phone down on the table by gripping the lower 1/3 of the phone with two or three fingers and putting it down. It's harder to do now, and I've had to adjust the way I grip it.)

Another downside is that the silicone bits covering the top and bottom of the phone aren't covered by the hard plastic. This means that dust and lint stick to the top and bottom like glue, and also means that the top and bottom can be easily pried away from the phone, creating an area that would potentially trap dust and debris. Not sure if that'll become an issue.

Alright, that's my 2 cents! Overall, I'm very happy with it..I've yet to see how effective its impact protection is, but hopefully that's something I won't have to test out for a while :)

Edit: Whoops, my phone just popped out of my hand..happened when I was holding it with my left hand and tried to use my thumb to reach up and press an icon in the upper right corner. Managed to catch it in midair though. Phew. But still..that was a bit more slippery than I expected.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Thanks for the review nitroshockwave! Any chance of posting some pictures? Especially the top/bottom that you mentioned about not being covered by plastic? I'm a little curious/confused about that one.

Again, thanks so much!! I'm still undecided if I should buy it...

i got the HD2, and he was broken, so i sent it back to HTC, who've fixed it, but now i got it back, and offcourse i turned everything back to stock whan i send it out.

now i got a repaired device, but it just cant start android. radio is 2.15.50.14, HSPL 2.08.HSPL. magldr just start correct. but when i want to start android, it locks up.

please help me, because i cant see whats wrong, because console is invisible...

please help me, i think everything is flashed right, and i tried to start android from SD in winmo too, but nothing worked...

please help me :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
Start from the begining.

No need to reflash HSPL 2.08 nor Radio

Task 29

MAGLDR or cLK

ClockWorkMod recovery. In recovery go Storage and mount and format all partitions (just in case) except ofcourse recovery.

Flash ROM from recovery.

And tell us how it did go and when exactly (if) stuck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] timoboontjuh:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfmarque:
In the past I've uses TiB to backup and restore my contacts ([CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.x) as I tried different roms going accross 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1. A couple of days I decided to bite the bullet and install CM7. I must admit I didn't do all my homework so after soft-bricking my phone once I managed to installed it right the 2nd time.

When I try to restore my contacts with TiB it just doesn't work. I also tried to manually replace the contacts2.db file, but it gets overwritten (I see a contacts2.db-journal file appear once in a while, which tells me the databases are incompatible).

So before either rolling back to 2.2 and creating a *.vcf file or installing some SQL editor to try to fix the database, I wanted to see if any one knows a faster way to fix this (sync with Google doesn't work for me).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Sync to Google, profit!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfmarque:
Appreciate the quick response, but I messed up that path long time ago. I wish I could go straight to profit, but looks like I'm in need to figure out step 2 here.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
1. TiBu worked for me, but I had to restore twice and restart phone after that

2. Use Sprite Backup to backup to a file and use that file to restore them
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfmarque:
Sprite Backup does seem more reliable for this kind of operation than TiBu, but looks like I'll have to Odin first to recover my contacts (since they all trapped right now in my backup contacts2.db file), the I can try Sprite Backup.

Oh well, my fault for being sloppy I guess.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
do they have nandroid backups working yet on 2.3? if so make one to get back to "now" easier.

and make a tibu backup in 2.3 too just for extra! but

use a different folder! dont want to overwrite your 2.2 backups!

Back ups backups backups.

oh and while you are in 2.2 backup your contacts to SIM card! &/or export to SD card in vcf.! and you can upload that vcf to google through gmail contacts (using web browser)

Any international or national is picking Sensation? State your country.
[HTC Sensation] cqms13:
What exactly are you asking?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Well first of, I came from Steve Jobs families since its release. As android getting alot of attention and community supports. I make the jump last year when Vibrant came out... boy that was a nightmare for my first android experience that's where XDA community came and help me out on Vibrant but at that time had no experience in android period so i return Vibrant and opted for HTC Glacier. And it's only release in US. Basicly im just stoke about Sensation releasing world wide. That means more development just like HD, HD2 etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raerae28:
So I dont know how many of you have the tablet yet, and have played with it, but here is my short wish list of things that I am SURE will be added in revisions to come.

1. Clear all notifications button - If someone knows how to do this, just let me know.

2. Gmail Instant HTML email rendering - Instantly show email images - NOT make me press - Show Images (is this like patented by Apple or something, why havent the done this on the mobile side either)

3. Gmail Autofit Reading pane - Auto fit the email to the right pane, in addition to number 2.

4. Task manager - They missed this first on the mobile, then they added it back in, now on the tablet - i dont see a rudimentary task manager. Regardless of whether it affects the functionality or not.

Anyone else have opinions or additions

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dotpro:
-USB on the tablet would have been nice

-multiple exchange email account support (activesync)

More when I get mine in this week. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brachiopod:
I'd like to be able to move the notifications and menu buttons to the top of the screen instead of always at the bottom. This is probably a honeycomb thing. That's because I keep hitting them by accident while trying to type. If anyone knows how to do that let us know.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raerae28:
I use Touchdown for Tablets (works nicely, but I dont know if you can do more than one account. You can do a corporate account (Exchange Activesync) with the built email client as well. Is that what you are looking for? or just multiple support. (Remember there is always IMAP as well)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
setting-applications you can manage tasks (shut them down, see what is running, etc) I believe. I only had my tab for a couple of hours before asus bricked it, but i'm pretty sure this is there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] raerae28:
Yeah the one thats deep inside the settings is still there, but I would like one for a "Long Press" on the home window, that would allow me to just close the open windows.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
That's fair, I'm just saying, it's there. You could make a link to settings-applications. That's what i do.

Everything you ask here is OS (Honeycomb) related and I'm sure Xoom (and now us Acer owners) will have the same requests..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dotpro:
Well, I have HTC EVO right now and it doesn't allow multiple exchange (activesync) accounts, you can do pop3 though.

I am not sure if honeycomb allows that or not, gingerbread certainly does not. :(

[Eee Pad Transformer General] speckledpig:
I would like to be able to tether to my phones wifi...I can't get the TF to connect to either WinMo 6.5.3 or Froyo ROMs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I'm using BT now to tether phone to tab, took some finnicking (had to flash a different ROM entirely) but it works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] speckledpig:
You mean a different WM ROM? Which one (if you don't mind)? I'm running deepshining for HTC Rhodium.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aarofloyd:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] speckledpig:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
IIRC the TF needs an infrastructure Wi-Fi connection, not ad-hoc.

Most tethers are ad-hoc.

Just guessing from what I've read elsewhere, and experiences I've had tethering other devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
I read that for those of us that installed clockworkmod on our G2x using Rom Manager, that we can't boot into recovery other than with Rom manager or that other recovery boot app.

If we want to be able to boot into recovery from bootlooping or some issue like that we need to flash it the Nvflash way? Is this correct?

I've had to manually enter recovery on my N1 a few times, and if I can't do that on the G2x that would seem not as safe for when flashing n such. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
I actually have both NvFlash method and RomManager method. In an emergency situation it is going to be better to use the NvFlash method that way you can use the 2 button method to enter recovery in case you cannot boot your rom. Of course RomManager has a newer version so I dont know if that has any advantages. I mean there is always ADB if you get into serious trouble but for some reason I just cannot get it to push any files even though it does recognize the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Use Nvflash so you can hold volume down and power until you see ANDROID on the screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
uhhh, isn't that a hard reset?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Nope, try it and see (backup first if you're paranoid :D)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skyhigh2004:
Isn't that for nvflash method only though?

Sent from my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Mine is an O2X, but I've never used NVFLash for recovery, I dd'd it the first time, and use ROM Manager to flash it subsequent times.

V- & Power worked on all 3 versions I've had installed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Which method did you do first?

I'm assuming NVFlash should be done first just to be sure
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i did Rom manager first witch made a fakeflash file( bad news if you get bootloops cuz you cant get into recovery via buttons ONLY within the OS)

then i did nvflash after he made that cute little video (works fine after installing CWM with rom manager!)

already flashed eagleblood 1.0

and using pauls service.jar file!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
To nvflash the latest CWM recovery, grab it here.

Then edit the command to show this instead of the test recovery that everyone has been using.

nvflash --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-lge_p999.img

nvflash > RM (for now :P)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
On the G2x that will initiate a factory reset unless you've install CWR through nvflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Interesting.

ROM Manager on the O2X will properly flash a new recovery, not a fake flash as it appears to do so on the G2X.

The key combo will also wipe an O2X that is running stock recovery, but who has one of them :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
i think you should get your facts straight, although you have a O2x it still not completely identical to g2x

if you did the button combo without flashing cwm via nvflash then on the g2x will factory reset. your posts assume that every1 used this method already when majority still have the stock recovery.

without specifying you could of just advised noobs to do a factory reset
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Indeed, when I saw that ROM Manager had support for both phones, I assumed it performed the same. Think I'll add a disclaimer to my earlier post, just in case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
Yup... Volume down + Power on a G2x that has recovery via Rom Manager and NOT Nvflash will cause a factory reset.

Good thing I had a nandroid to restore to. lol

Oh and that factory reset does *NOT* remove root, or it didn't in my case, Superuser was still installed also. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
I know this is off topic, but where are you getting 7Mb/s in Vegas?

I only get about half that. I'm in N. Vegas though.

Nevermind. I just hit 12 somehow. haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Yeah that's normal, root files are on /system, factory reset only nukes /data
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
ok heres the big deal i noticed: and its the scary part!

If you just download ROM MANGER and FLASH RECOVERY thru that program, you will not have any options for a hardware recovery. Keep in mind this is NOT a dev phone! So dont think of it as one!

From the factory, when you hold vol down and power you basically perform a hard reset. If you flash clockwork recovery through NVFlash whenever you take battery out, put in, hold vol down and press and hold volume down and power until the android screen comes on, you will always have a way to recover your rom! So baically you need to nvflash the recovery. TRUST ME! Learn this! It's not hard. I can help you.

This is the reason nx1's and nxs's can not be bricked, is anytime you flash a recovery it "WILL NOT STICK". I know it sounds tough but its pure genius.

With pur phones that is not an option unless you know code. Trust me if i can do it so can anyone else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
It's pretty easy to brick a Nexus, just botch a radio flash ;)

It's also simple to stop them reverting to stock recovery, just remove the install-recovery.sh file, most people do it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT4ALii3EN:
Hello, I saw here : http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/

that the recovery clockworkmod v3.1.0.0 is arrived ! But on the Nexus S, the recovery official is the 3.0.2.4 and the recovery custom v3.0.2.5 (thx)

But, I like have the update to recovery, so I wanna know if there are the recovery 3.1.0.0 for the Nexus S or if a person can modified the recovery 3.1.0.0 in order to it work on the NS ???

Thanx :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
No idea where those 3.1.0.0 come from. The latest version in the source repository is 3.0.2.8.

However, looking over the commits, there seems no reason for you to upgrade, since you already have 3.0.2.5, which removes the menu entries for hard bricking your phone (format bootloader, radio, recovery).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT4ALii3EN:
How you knows that the last recovery clockworkmod is the 3.0.2.8 ?

It's bizar because there are recoveries 3.1.0.0 .... ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
You can look at the git repository commit log:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread

The version is in the Androik.mk file line 29:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/blob/gingerbread/Android.mk

It says 3.0.2.8.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopeypopey123:
If this was even a genuine clockworkmod why would you want it ?

i dont see any point in rushing to get the updates before they are supported through rom manager ,, unless it adds many extra features you need!!

Okey. Thx for your posts :)

Hi everyone.

git repositories is the best modern way to work with Linux Kernel sources, designed by Linus himself in this purpose.

Today Samsung release sources as plain tarballs, often with a few missing files and it makes collaboration between developers difficult: instead of merging branches or patch in 2 commands, it creates a lot of headaches.

But also community fragmentation!

Sources are available now, source code will be shared here here as common reference point.

Also, benefit of this approach is free cleaned up upgrades when Samsung releases new sources for everyone.

Stay tuned, and contact me if you're an experienced developer that want to be involved in this source organization: https://github.com/GalaxySII
