[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
I am telling you what HTC said they admit that a certain series is defective hence the snappy replacement. Just cause one Rom works and another doesn't isn't always the Roms fault,ever had a CPU that would run one OS and not another or RAM that worked fine on xp but not win 7 once the defective hard hits its limit it will fail. I have seen hardware work fine overclocked and the exact same hardware crash with half the settings,or a motherboard run suse fine but put Windows on it and it dies a week later. I didn't say they all were defective just one series of them and when they did the update a lot of the phones started to fail and some didn't,so does that tell you hardware or software,if one can run fine and the other fails its either a bad flash or bad hardware. Take your pick
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
I didn't do the update over the air on my other bolt, I downloaded it from HTC and it killed the phone,but the same download is on this phone and it works just fine,not one reboot, and its still stock and not rooted. The other one was dated Dec

10 and this one is dated Feb 11, I would just about guess they tweaked the update to weed out the bad phones faster,makes sense to me.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
I wasn't aware of HTC stating there was some defective hardware. Never saw any references to it. If thats the case then glad they acknowledged it.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
It's definitely not a hardware issue. Its a radio/ signal issue. Verizon does know about it, and is working on getting a new update out there. I know this, for a fact.
[Thunderbolt General] BrainfartEris:
My TBolt is not rooted and before the update I had no problems at all but after the update the random reboots started. Battery life is acceptable but could be allot better.

Called Verizon yesterday and they acknowledge the problem and actually said HTC is aware of the problem and are working on it but have no expected date as to when it will be fixed. I believe it is definitely is a software issue and will be fixed when the official Gingerbread is released. Just my 2 cents.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LususNaturae:
Is it me is does this low light sensor really temperamental?

Right now I'm trying to get it to activate in a low light room using the video camera and still, but nothing seems to be happening :confused:

When I first got the Arc it was running 3 network branded software, and I'm sure it worked then when I tried it out, but since I've flashed the global generic it takes pictures like any other camera in the dark (not very well)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sausalito:
Something sure is that the Arc is the best photo phone in low light condition i never had.

Remember with other phone, when light is not high, it's very difficult to focus because the image move very slowly (i don't know how to explain...).

It's not a useless gadget it's sure.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyraa:
You really have to use all the options the camera app has to offer. Meaning focus modes, scenes, light sensivity and so. If you do so, the results will be very good. Video is a little easier because there is a very strong algorythm to prevent noise. Unfortunately it will also reduce sharpness quite a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
Hi,

I just dropped my EU HD2 and the glass has cracked and theres a hole in the corner, although the LCD screen is fine and the touch works perfectly.

Could someone advise me where to get a replacement and whether I have to get the whole digitizer part?

Are the ones on ebay ok? I saw a few that were between £10-£20 and wondering whether they are the genuine ones from HTC or fakes...

I also heard there are two types of digitizers, one that needs soldering and one that just clips in...which one is the right one?

Appreciate the help
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
Hi Mods

Could you move this thread over to the HD2 General section?

Everyone else:

49 views and no one knows the answer to this?? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carlosmozas:
Mine broke, and i sent to the SAT, sadly they broke my motherboard replacing the glass and made a swap.... so i wouldn't dare to change it myself...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
Whats the SAT? I can repair this myself, I just need to know which digitizer I need.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
Ok ill try and answer your questions.

First,, your EU Leo needs to be un/soldered to motherboard. As far as I know only TMOUS has the clip lcd.

Second, well £20 isn't going to get you a OEM screen, not a new one anyway. Shop around, compare price/products, maybe get the £20 one and try it out could be as good as the OEM one?.

PS. Writing this from my eu leo with a 1/4 of the screen cracked ;bummer; and the thing is it cost me ££75 to get it fixed the first time around.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harpss1ngh:
Soldering is only involved in replacing the digitizer. In most cases you can replace the LCD with the digitizer attached so you just need to remove the ribbon cable and replace the LCD and digitizer kit. Cheapest I found that is genuine is 50 quid.

In any case, I'm using this opportunity to get a DHD :D

Link is bad, plus most of us have been using GB on our EVO's for months now so who cares!
[EVO 4G General] StellarWiid:
And some of us have unrooted in preparation for trading our evo's. :)
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I care because I have a novatek screen. I'm sure you're familiar with the brightness bugs that plagues the Sense GB ROMs.
[EVO 4G General] StellarWiid:
Same here, and cm7 drains may battery, no matter what kernel I use.
[EVO 4G General] archtech3d:
Fixed the link. Many care about his... gonna fix many issues with the leaked version, including the brightness for some screens. A bit of fun before switching to the 3D. :)
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
GB with Sense 1.0 is going to feel exactly like Froyo with Sense 1.0 so what exactly is there to get excited about?

When my friends ask what is different with the EVO 3d to the EVO I don't even mention GB as there really is nothing different. It is more comparable to what a service pack is for Windows then an actual OS update. So you get some green color on top and an off animation.....

GB should have been just another number added to Froyo.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
If I agreed with you any more than I do now, then we'd be the same person.

I never understood the obsession with GB... I saw literally NO CHANGE when CM7 made the jump... Nor did I see a difference between 2.3.2 .3 or .4

The only reason I want the 3D is for the dual cameras and other upgraded hardware. I am hoping that someone can make use of the cameras for something magical... like sensing depth, or doing instant HDR photos... things of that nature. Maybe even building 3D models, like with a Kinect.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I'm not sure why you are being such a hater. Nonetheless, This will allow me to use some of the other ports that are floating around such as Virus's Sense 3.0 and Miks GB Sense 2.1, etc. In addition, there are a few apps that I run that do not restore successfully from GB to Froyo thus, if I want to keep my data for said apps than I need to run them on a GB ROM. I see your point though, we should just be anti-updates unless they include huge ground-breaking changes... :rolleyes: I'm sure Google isn't rolling out updates for ****s and giggles, so why not take advantage of some of the improvements that have been made. They may not be cosmetic, but GB is still an improvement over Froyo.
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am all for updates but I just don't get the excitement over this one, that's all. Like I said before, Gingerbread just feels like a service pack release.

If HTC maybe threw Sense 2.0 on it, then it might have felt like something changed at least.
[EVO 4G General] knightwolf123:
+1

Now with the ota gingerbread, it will also be easier to squeeze in sense 3.0 or whatever. I have the screen from hell and can't run these newer ports because there is no way in hell to go all day with out charging.

Although I do love me some cm7.

[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I care as well. Guess your just a uncaring person. In preparation for my EVO 3D I may just unroot my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Maybe?

Anyway, are you unrooting because you are trading in your EVO to a store? I was trying to see if anyone knew if we needed to do that or if we can just put a stock Rom on and leave it rooted.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
So I just bought the Otterbox Commuter series case. BTW, its a $30-35 case, I got it off Amazon for $19.

I've had it about 2-3 weeks now, and I have to say, I'm liking it. It's also paid off too, I've dropped my phone a few times now, and I was happy I had the case on it.

It's a 2-piece case, the first layer being a rubber/silicone "glove" and the 2nd piece is a tough plastic outer shell that holds to the phone and silicone nicely. It also features flaps that cover the hdmi/charging ports and the headphone jack. The headphone jack cover is nice, it prevents water or pocket lint from getting inside, however I'm a bit iffy on the charging port cover. Its a silicone flap about an inch long that just kinda sticks into itself to remain closed. The problem with this design is that the flap opens when stuffed into your pocket, or getting caught up on the fabric and turning your pocket inside out when removing from your pocket. It's not a BIG deal to normal, regular human beings. But for guys who like to wear their sister's jeans, this might not be the phone-case for you.

Another issue, and again, not really a big deal at all, was with the kickstand. This case allows you to still use the Evo's kickstand. However the added size of the case prevents the phone from being very physically stable while using it. If you have your phone plugged in and charging while watching a movie on it using the kickstand, you would have to fight a little bit with the cord to prevent it from pulling the phone over. Not a big deal.

This case might still fit into most car docks. I have the MountTek cd-player mounted dock/holder, and it still fits in there. Not perfectly, but enough to hold it well. I don't know about any others.

At first, the ACTUAL case felt cheap. But after ACTUALLY having it for a while, I do ACTUALLY like it. I ACTUALLY chose the commuter case because I didn't want the bulkiness of the Defender case, but I wanted something more than the Impact. I find that the Commuter case fits the ACTUAL bill perfectly. It ACTUALLY holds well in my hand, and is ACTUALLY great for being able to just set down on the table, as it protects the ACTUAL protruding camera lens, the ACTUAL rear speaker, and the ACTUAL flash LEDs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] akrod2as:
Yeah I've had mine for around 6 months maybe more. I forget. I cut off the bottom port protector. My only gripe is if you change batteries often the silicone inner case stretches.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Looks nice just bought the defender on eBay for 30 bucks the company from what I read fixed the kickstand issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OstrichSak:
Do you suffer from an affliction that forces you to put the word 'actually' in all caps? :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lmao just noticed that think he does.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
Lol hoping you guys would notice the joke, making fun of a recent YouTube review that showcased a bunch of "actuallys".
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
Yeah, the defender case has its own kickstand. That would be a nice feature on the commuter case, but oh well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] djnarcotics:
yea mine got ripped off
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Ya the Kraken case is like the commuter case with the kickstand . I like it don't like the fact dust can and will get in. Happy to give defender a try. Also I know what you tube vid your talkin about :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
Dust doesnt really get onto the phone, but the exposed silicone parts do collect dust and lint. Protects the phone though, I can deal with the rest.

I was going to do a video review of this case being completely stereotypical of the youtube videos out there, I was thinking something along the lines of..

"yo whats up its ya boy jasongthang, aka Jason, here to show you the uh... the uh.. Otterbox Def- uh- I mean Commuter case for the HTC Evo. First off, right off the bat, you can actually see the case is actually two pieces".... yada yada

but i didnt want to take away from the review or step on any toes..
[EVO 4G Accessories] classic1991:
I currently am using the Defender series and I can say I am loving it. I had the Impact one before, which was a waste, but Defender is pretty legit.

"Perfect is almost good enough"
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarthBelan:
I just got the Defender yesterday, and all in all I can say I'm pleased with it. Some reviewers over at Amazon call it "cumbersome," TBH the Evo is cumbersome to begin with.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hazelfoot:
I've got this as well.

I cut off the part over the charging port and it's much nicer. My only gripe now is that its pretty difficult to press the power button now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kornsaq:
I bought me and my wife the defender series a couple months ago. They were priced at $28 a piece on Newegg at the time.

They are awesome cases, but I have to say that the kickstand on them is cheaply made. Both of our kickstands broke off withing 3 weeks. But, I hardly use the kickstand anyway so it doesnt really bother me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Huskies88:
yeah i just picked up the defender case on ebay, thing is holding up like a champ, been dropped a few times by accident and it takes all the impact, great cases from Otterbox, had one for almost all my phones
[EVO 4G Accessories] BeauGiss:
The Commuter case is good for me, I actually snapped the bottom portion where the kickstand is shown, but I contacted Otter Box and they sent me a new one. So far so good with this one.
[EVO 4G Accessories] matthewdavisnelson:
I bought the Otterbox Commuter some time ago to replace a very, very inexpensive silicone "shell" (it only protected the back of my EVO). Thus far, I've been happy with it, too. The supplied screen protector was crap so I replaced it with one from REALOOK. The silicone shell on my Commuter does attract some lint but said lint rubs off easily with a damp thumb moistened from water from a faucet.

I have yet to drop my EVO at all but the Commuter protects it wonderfully from dust and damage from sliding the device across tables, et cetera.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
Yeah, good point. The screen protector it comes with is worthless. I tried many times to get it on right and it looked horrible. Right now I'm using PhantomSkinz screen protector. Its nice, but it seems the bottom edge is peeling up due to the edge of the case touching it. I have an extra phantomskinz protector and a Zagg, I'll change it out one of these days.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Systemfraud:
Just got my defender case today, and I love it. I can deal with the slight bulk it adds, got it off of Amazon for $28. Well worth the money.

I bought a commuter case in November and broke it. It cracked on the weak part by the kick stand. I called and they sent me a defender at no charge. I just put it oj. Bulky but tough. Well see!
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol I bought a defender on friday and I love it tho only reason I bought it was the Kraken case I have didn't have a holster out for it yet. Sucks just this weekend the company made my skins for it and a holster finally so now im gonna put the new defender back up on ebay :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] royshero:
I love the commuter,Best case so far. I havnt used my defender since. It was awesome but couldn't get it out of my pocket..
[EVO 4G Accessories] karlitas_way:
I just got my commuter case 2 months ago and I love it. I just wish they came in different colors. Overall, great case though!
[EVO 4G Accessories] scottx .:
I have the Otterbox Defender case for mine. I had the cheaper "Impact" case for a few weeks and didn't like it that much.

I got mine at the Sprint store and paid $50 for it. I didn't mind since my wife bought it for me as a birthday gift.

Some images of it:
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Nice shots man I like the defender got it for 30 on ebay.

I love the kraken because the buttons are easier to press.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scottx .:
Nice! Ill check into the kraken.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wmstwo002:
+1 I cut mine off, too. Would never stay in place. Other than that, it is a great case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TomWaddle:
was about to order a kraken but it just looks huuuge

do you notice your phone getting too hot with any and all cases? that's my problem and I can't use a case somedays because I know it's going to get waytoo hot and am worried about damaging the phone :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Kraken not that huge better built then the defender the defender seems not to seal all the way squeaky I don't like it. look at the pics I posted of my kraken did a thread on it. Lol I'm hating the defender feels flimsy buttons are a pain in the ass to hit. Kraken feels so good when hitting buttons there all easy to get to.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dpilcher:
Ordered this one today for my son's EVO for $16+shp. Like it better than the other ACTIVE w/X-skeleton and the burgandy should be a little more toned down than a red.

http://store.androidcentral.com/sei...4A7061.htm?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=sponsored

Still naked myself, phone for clarification, with the extended battery (again, phone). Will see in a few days how it is for him.

EDIT: Posted some pics of the ACTIVE case. Not sure about this one since the silicone edges are not kept secure or snug to the phone. Looks as if it would provide some protection from a fall with the corners being protected. Just not sure how long the silicone will remain formed to the phone with my son taking it in and out of his smaller pockets.
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
I bought mine direct from Otterbox. A little more expensive, but they have a lifetime guarantee on their cases, and will send replacements no problem. My first defender's kickstand broke, and there was no problem getting a new case. Unfortunately the rubber starting ripping on that one after a couple of months, so they send me another one. So far so good on this case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] josh..:
Yeah I heard a lot of negative things about the bottom part that covers the ports, but I've never had trouble with it. Just make sure that I close it correctly and that's all it takes. Does collect dust and stuff on the rubberized parts, but just wiping it off works for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] patrick0823:
I have the kracken also I love it
[EVO 4G Accessories] Jfree3000:
Same here, I actually started off with the commuter case. On my second commuter due to the silicone lip near the buttons becoming flimsy, I asked them if they could upgrade me to a defender because I knew the same thing would happen to a replacement and they had no problem with that what so ever.

Otterbox cases for the evo may have problems but they have great customer service.
[EVO 4G Accessories] 0mie:
I personally like the thinner 1 piece case myself :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Infliciton:
The bottom rubber part of the case does get loose, the commuter case is great except for that one part.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasonb1108:
I actually ordered the defender case. It was actually a good deal.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zmaina5:
the bottom silicon port charger is bound to come off regardless. The case itself though isn't very reliable. I had the commuter case on my first evo when i dropped it and it commpletely shattered my screen.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JDM Civic EG8:
I just picked up a Commuter Case yesterday so far so good. The only downside that I don't like about it was already mentioned the flimsy rubber part on the bottom of the case. If I bought it from best buy and the part came off would I be able to contact Otterbox directly or would have to go through best buy?
[EVO 4G Accessories] dtLA:
I have the same problem with the silcone lip. I bought my case from the Sprint store ... did you? I'm wondering whether to go back to the Sprint store to get this fixed, or whether to go directly to Otterbox.
[EVO 4G Accessories] RichLec:
I have both of the ktterbox cases and switch back and forth every few months. Like them bkth and have only had to replace the defender because of the kickstand breaking. But otterboxs great customer service just sent a new one when i called!..
