Navitech case review

After having this case for over a week, I'm noticing a few things that are beginning to make me shop for another case...

1) The flap that tucks under the A500 to hold it in place has no real fastener so the more I use it, the more it is loosening up and the more it wants to slide down making the camera useless in the case.

2) The more I use it, the more the cheap leather (or..whatever it is...) is loosening up and is getting a bit..baggy around the screen.

3) I truly wish it had 1/8 of an inch more around the screen area to be able to use the gestures with the stock browser because I LOVE the way they work.

At this point, I'm probably going to start modifying it so it serves it's protection purpose until I get the next case. I am already starting to shop...

If you can live with these issues, by all means go ahead and get one - overall it's not that bad if you are willing to do a few mods to it...But be forewarned. You are getting what you pay for at this price...

try upside down for item one

1) The flap that tucks under the A500 to hold it in place has no real fastener so the more I use it, the more it is loosening up and the more it wants to slide down making the camera useless in the case.

most progrms and b

rowsers allow upside down operation.
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
...and? there's ONE hole in the border / frame of the case that is JUST big enough to see the front camera when it's in the perfect position. If the camera is not lined up with that hole - no workie...

Also, if you put the unit in upside down, not only does the FRONT camera not work, but the camera on the back, the speakers, and the jack for the dock are covered as well. Also no workie...

Also does not address the loosening up of the flap issue..I've only had it a week and ALREADY it's pretty loose and allows the unit to slide Very Easily inside the case...

Ummm...Do you work for Navitech by any chance? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] secularhuman:
no I dont work for them

Ummm...Do you work for Navitech by any chance? :)[/QUOTE]

no but I have one. when upsidedn the rfc works as do the speakers, the ffc no.

maybe some velcro would be an easy fix.

[Acer Iconia A500] wanderer82680:
the acer branded case also slides a great bit after a short time, but it is a very thin material that provides almost no drop protection.

At least this is leather ....
[Acer Iconia A500] gerke:
The case from navitech is half the price of the Acer case and is way better. The Acer case isn't only rubber, but seriously rubbish. I used doublesided tape for the flap of the navitech, the tab doesn't slide anymore
[Acer Iconia A500] secularhuman:
Thanks for the idea

The double sided tape works great!

[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
I have had this case for 2 weeks and loving it so far. Great fit.

The flap that holds thetablet snug did get loose as people mentioned. Iused a 2x1 inch piece of industrial velcro to creat a latch. Works like a champ and i can remove the tab when needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
I've had this case on order from amazon.com (U.S.) and so far although they claim they shipped it June 6 I've seen no sign of it. No tracking info was provided. After contacting them through Amazon, I got a response stating that they had had trouble with shipments to the U.S., and in exchange for refunding my shipping fee they asked I wait another week.

Waiting, but not impressed (with Navitech) so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I had a problem with my shipment as well. They've asked me to wait a week longer and they (because the shipment never came) asked if I want a new product or a refund.

I asked for a new product and they sent it today via first class airmail.

It's not their fault that post offices keep losing shipments. Actually we're both unhappy. They had to ship two products instead of one and I had to wait a month for it.

C'est la vie
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
Well mine finally showed up today. Battered and dirty in a big mailing folder not a box. The case doesn't seem any worse for the trip it had taken, and my A500 is having a nap in it right now.

The flap that tucks under it to hold it in the case is very soft leather and doesn't keep the tablet from slipping a little up or down. Still, this case should be find to carry my A500 out and about in and keep me from worrying about scratching the thing.

I've flashed my phone with the latest Cyanogen mod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957344)

I flashed the radio, then the ROM and in the end the latest Gapps... But now several things don't work. Facebook can't start and when I try to set a new ringtone, it gives me the 'process media stopped working'. Any idea how to fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjustin:
Ow. It also happens when I try to visit Facebook and when I try to create a ringtone via Zedge.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjustin:
Nobody with tips or hints what I did wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Did you wipe everything before flashing it? Data, cache, system, battery stats...

Did you restore any system data e.g. via Titanium Backup?

Have you got a nandroid backup of where you were before?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjustin:
1. Yes I wiped everything.

2. I did both. First I restored with Titanium Backup. Then I tried without a restore. STill the same problem.

3. before this I used a MIUI ROM but I didn't like it.

Hi all, last week my phone got stuk in headset mode even when it was physicly unplugged. I saw in a thread that it probebly was an hardware issue, zo i sent my phone for repair. I got it back today but it wasn't repaired they sad it had liquid damage. Now my question is if it is possible to remove the headsetfunction throug USB in the software, so hopefully the phone works like normal(I'm not planning to use the headset anyway)
[Defy General] ukyo1234:
Hi to all...

I'll buy a Motorola defy Vodaf* Spain locked, but i would like to use a custom ROM and another phone operator, so i need to buy an unlocked code or just to put the new Custom ROM?

Otherwise if i unlock by code and then i change my sim, i need to unlock again or the operation is permanent?

You cannot unlock your phone only by installing another ROM. Have a look on this topic for more details on how you can unlock it.

However, I would like to know which of my themes you like the best. Whether it be lucid, spectrum or tangerine. Over time I will hopefully bring them all to the table but I would like to know which one I should start.

Also, for those who Like the idea of a cyan theme please show your support.

I look forward to your feedback and please take alook at my blog(link in my sig) for a look into those themes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
I have frozen quite a lot of apps by using Titanium Backup, and I'm thinking that since I don't really miss them I might as well uninstall them completely... But at the same time I don't want to lose them forever and regret it in a few months if I ever need one of those.

So, does flashing a firwmare restore everything like stock ?

Thanx !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crucio_:
yes it will.

i uninstalled all the samsung hubs and things like zino reader ect and flashing back to a stock ROM will bring everything you took off back.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] cool_spider:
I got a LG optimus P500 recently in India. I installed the LG PC suite backup on laptop running windows 7 and connected my phone successfully.

The software wanted me to sync phone data with pc which i did not do. Later I tried updating my phone software (disabled mass storage mode in settings).

Two options here 1. Backup and continue 2. Continue without backup.

The first time I proceeded with "backup and continue". Program stopped running and crashed immediately ( Is is cos PC suite was running on W7? ).

The second time I proceeded with "Continue without backup". It went on to install a new update installer and continued with "downloading update". Successfully downloaded the whole update and my phone went into emergency mode for 15 mins. After this it got stuck there and no progress. I had to remove the battery and restart the phone and found it in same condition as it was before update.

So my problems are

1. How can I backup data?

2. How can I update firmware?

I possibly know about rooting and custom ROM's, but have some warranty issues pending (dust inside the screen), so the above stuff would not probably be fruitful.

Can someone help me with this?. I'm very sure that I am going wrong somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(:(:eek::eek::eek:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vip_blast:
Okay a basic course:

I use Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, and LG PC Suite always crashes for some reasons on it (thanks LG for the ****ty softwares, even the latest version). That's not a big deal though, because sincerely I think everyone here can approve this, LG's PC Suite is practically useless. Stop worrying about it. :)

For you questions:

1. You can use random applications found on the Android Market to backup your data on your sd card and then transfer it to your pc if you wish to. If you want to go further, root your device (preferably with Gingerbreak) and then use Titanium Backup. ;)

2. Since we dont have v2.3.x update (gingerbread) out for our phone yet, there's no use to upgrade to any official LG stock rom, they are practically all the same. If you wish, once you got your phone rooted, you can flash a rom on it, through a "Recovery" to experience better performance. If you want to know more then just ask. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
lg pc suite has resulted in dead phones for many the only way to revive is to use kdz updater and follow error guide and flash your desired updated rom via kdz.iknow your phone is not dead though try the three button combo and check if it helps orelse kdz is the solution.

regarding backup of data-if u mean app and games that can be done through titanium but u need root permission so just root it and backup using titanium and than again unroot it.simple the lg ppl wont get any hint of what u did.

if data -means ur phone os than i am not aware as custom recovery works the best

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038338 this might help u somehow i beleive and the error link is in the thread itself
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cool_spider:
thanks for that..

thanks to both above...

I would certainly root the mobile once i get my phone to service center for warranty claim ( it has dust specs inside the screen -must be between display and touch panel)...

Happy to see so much going on to help ppl customize their phones so much... If not you ppl then android and optimus would have been dead years back...

:D:D:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sanmore:
Use gingerbreak to root your phone. Titanium to backup. Again unroot via gingerbreak. If you give phone for lg service ask them to upgrade. Or use KDZ flasher to flash LG rom from official site. It does not void your warranty

I hope this will help. Do it at your own risk

Hi,

I am owner of a Motorola Milestone XT 720 and recently i tries to install froyo dexter 2.2.1 on it. I used some tutorials which i found , but unfortunately, i didn't manage to do it properly. So as a result , my phone when it starts opening , i see on the screen the android sign and the text "loading please wait..." and then it restarts. Is there something that i can do in order to reset my phone and to open it again???

How is your lock screen as such. What app were you using ???
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Forseti_Jan:
Hi ive orderd one similar to this ( 1900 mah ) and ill get in in a couple weeks, as im in the netherlands as well ;).

So cant really tell you anything about the performance at this moment, but at the same time it's not such a big expense.

I preferred this over the spare battery as I dont have to take my phone apart, plus it does not have to reboot.

I bought it just to use in emergencys, right now my battery is taking me through the day as i removed al bloatware and email/tweetdeck gets synchronised once an hour.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Forseti_Jan:
Received it today already!

As i said its the 1900 type ( it's chinese so i guess its like 1400 or so). Brouht my GS2 from 32 to 79 in 1,5 hour.

Charging the "charger" took about 3 hours to become completely full.

Hope this answers your question.

The lockscreen app is widgetlocker with a custom slider, app Unread sms count for the 3 icon links, Typoclock and battstatt, that's it.

Now that USBhost works with cm7, we have more options. So, I'm hunting for a case/keyboard/trackpad (or mouse) combo that will turn the NC into a 7" netbook -- using Bluetooth and/or USB.

Does anyone know of any accessory that would handle this pretty well?
[Nook Color Accessories] paleh0rse:
Has anyone seen/used this one?

http://www.ankaka.com/tablet-holder...ini-keyboard-for-7-inch-tablet-pc_p47823.html

I should check the 7" GalaxyTab accessories forum. While I've found a few 7" cases for sale around the net, I havent heard/seen any of them mention Nook specifically.

Has anyone had any luck with something like this?
[Nook Color Accessories] irisclara:
That's totally cool! If you decide to get something like this please post how it works out. I would be in the market for something like that. In fact the low price on the one you linked is tempting me right now.
[Nook Color Accessories] Gin1212:
Yes, that's an excellent find! Should I decide to move to the Iconia Tab A100 in fall, or stick with the Nook Color, I will probably snatch one of those up.
[Nook Color Accessories] marcboy:
That relies on the keyboard being connected by usb, which the nookcolor doesnt have. Im not sure if an adapter can be used? If it can i'd be quite interested in one myself.
[Nook Color Accessories] Ophbalance:
USB Host support is current being worked on, and keyboards are working provided you pick up an adapter. The question becomes, however, will this work without having to go through a USB powered hub.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Haha, that guy above me didn't know about USB Host support we now have :P

All kidding aside, you guys know the NC is longer and skinnier than the GTab, right? As in, I'm sot sure that top clasp will bend down enough...maybe with the top and bottom ones bent...
[Nook Color Accessories] jewnersey:
wow that looks kick ass.

lets keep this thread updated with options
[Nook Color Accessories] paleh0rse:
Yeah, that's my primary concern -- making sure the darn NC fits. Of course, my other concern is that the keyboard works in USB host mode without a powered hub.

I'm very close to testing one of these out... maybe a father's day gift to myself? lol

If it does work, I'll probably need to mod it to hold the nook somehow...hmmm...
[Nook Color Accessories] :
A thought:

So...maybe get the case, then get a very small hub (smallest ever!), and you can cram the hub between the NC and one of the supports?

Like this? http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-usb-4-ports-hub-black-787

If the g/f ends up getting on that (I'm pretty sure is the same minus the dimensions) for her GTab, I'll toss the NC on it. I don't see why a "normal" usb keyboard wouldn't work. The cheapo ones that used to (still do?) come with dells worked without any hub on my NC. My illuminated keyboard and wireless mouse needed the unpowered hub to work for the NC.

[Nook Color Accessories] soulnothing:
Just received the HDE 7 w keyboard from amazon.

I didn't receive the micro usb adapter yet to test it with the nook. I did hook it the keyboard to my desktop to do some quick typing tests. However a quick take on it.

Firstly my hands are a bit big, I found the keyboard cramped. I was expecting this to a degree. But am finding it rather easy to click the other buttons. Not much better than the onscreen one, I like the tactical feedback, but my accuracy seems to have declined even further. The feel of the keyboard is good like a laptop keyboard, keys are bit shallow but overall good. I also hadn't noticed but it has the three lock leds for num. caps. and scroll.

The case, it feels good, like leather,and seems relatively padded. The clips to hold the nook in. The bottom two are good. The top is a bit away from the top, and even folding it down didn't help hold it. The clips only cover up the power button, and it's still relatively accessible. Turning it on it's side the nook slid out rather easily. I am thinking of Velcro on the back of the nook to help hold it in place. Once close besides the lack of side clips it feels sturdy and protected.

The magnetic strap that closes the case needs to be pushed behind the cover, by defaults it's in the way of viewing the screen. The back stand seemed to slide very easily and didn't hold it up to well. It kept falling back.

Portability is pretty much gone with this, It makes it about the size of a good hardback. It is not pocket able now, i think it's more due to added thickness.

It's seems like a good case, if your hands aren't overly large, and with a few modifications. The lack of side clips are somewhat problematic. The included stylus as probably know is for resistive screens, but it seems cheap. I will take and post pics later.
[Nook Color Accessories] paleh0rse:
^^^ excellent info! Have any updates on how its working out with the nook itself?
[Nook Color Accessories] Requia:
I'm gonna try and get the pingtab one, but I can't find an adapter for the weird (hopefully not propriatary?) USB connector the Nook has. Anybody know where to get one?

Hmm, actually, do I need to be looking for a powered hub?
[Nook Color Accessories] paleh0rse:
Lots of great info regarding USB host mode here, including info on the required adapters:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105497
[Nook Color Accessories] Requia:
Ok, I have the mentioned keyboard/case combo*, though not the adapter (a twitchy one click finger made me buy the wrong one**), so I can't test the case just yet. It does however, kit the Nook perfectly. Unfortunately, it wasn't designed to hold a tablet in place when you hold the case like a book, only when it's used as a netbook. This also means the nook might not stay inside the case when carrying the case around without careful handling, so it's velcro time despite being the exact right size.

The USB cord could stand to be a tad longer, but I think I'll be happier in the long run using an extension cable when I want to hold the nook outside the case while typing.

The bulky standard USB tip gets in the way of closing the case with the nook inside, which means I'm going to have to let the cord hang out.

I suspect that the keyboard has a watch battery or similar inside, as the USB seems too thin to have a full 4 wires. This might be a problem in terms of long term durability, as I won't be able to get to the battery without unstitching or cutting the case, but it was 20$, so if it lasts 2 years and dies it'll still be a great value.

Edit1: The stylus is not a capacitive stylus, so no good with the nook, not terribly surprised.

All in all, this is highly usable and should work well with the nook (after I get the adapter), but it'd be 10x nicer with minor tweaks (a microUSB instead of a full sized, and a couple extra tabs so the tablet is held in 4 directions).

*I still can't post links, but paleh0rse posted it above, its the Digistore-tablet-Protective-leather-Keyboard one.

**Anybody know any national chain stores that might have the right adapter and aren't Radio Shack?
