Is there any case similar to the otterbox, only not quite so big?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] NCX Designs:
Yes, except there a little different. the designs are very similar though.

Armor Case is made by chinese manufacturers but they are available in alot more colors than what Otterbox offers.

the holster and design of the case are nearly identical to the Defender case

Here's all the cases (nearly all of them anyway) all on one site.

And here's a bunch more on eBay for cheap

I personally love my black aegis case
[Thunderbolt Accessories] RicoX9:
I got a Body Glove off Amazon for $12. Very happy with it. Good compromise between bulk and protection. That, and a pack of 5 screen protectors for $6-7.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Haze69:
I used to have a trident case on my EVO smaller than otterbox and still very protective and also had pet screen, it was perfect, I read on another thread, their website just started making them for the thunderbolt. That's what I'm gonna order for my next case.

Looks just like an Otterbox! Wow...ordering now to test the build quality.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Rngrrymd:
Seidio........ awesome cases..... 3 different options, Surface, Active, Convert
[Thunderbolt Accessories] LaDamian:
When I use a case, I just use the quick snap on Seidio case. Seems to do the trick.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] civichater:
I was thinking about doing the same thing. I looked around for reviews on these, but could not find any. Can you check back when you get it and let us know what you think?? Thanks
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sklobopes:
Yea, I'll post a pic review of the case. For only 13.57 + shipping for a essentially a Otterbox without the logo on the back is pretty good if you ask me.... Ill be getting it in in about 5 days.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
As the title states my phone is stuck with baseband version I997UCKD5. Everytime my phone trys to get a update it tells me that it cannot connect to ATT servers. My phone is rooted, is this why its not updating or do I have a defective phone. I have tried to find the answers for with no luck so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
this is typical att. it is not the phone. can you connect to odin? if you can then backup your apps with titanium backup then use odin to flash gtg's rooted ucke3 package, then backup the new rom with cwm (just good practice). if the apps are wiped then use titanium to reinstall them. it is not always a good idea to restore system data with titanium but i dont think there are significant system changes to prevent hat from working, id try it then if everything force closes id wipe user data in recovery and try it again without restoring system data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doost650:
I had the same problem even when i was UNrooted. I rooted my phone and updated to that Infused ROM. I then used the [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock download to return to stock and then I had the new update. Everything turned out fine, I had no problems afterwards. I then proceeded to UNroot the device and a day or 2 after that I recieved a new update but alas my phone STILL cannot connect to the servers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
Sorry for my stupidity but I'm still learning, are you saying to load odin UCKE3 to my phone and get the update that way and if i loose my app backup up with titanium?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yes, backup just in case. i dont know if gtg's package wipes but it probably does, actually id bet on it.

sometimes if the firmware is different restoring system data causes issues, what that means is you would lose your call logs and things. but if the app+system data restore causes issues you can just clear data in recovery mode and restore app+data rather than apps +all system data.

do you have contacts sync'd with google? att? if not export the contacts to a v-card on the sdcard. then import after the flash. but i recomend the gole contacts sync if you have want to set it up, sometimes simply setting it up on the phone doesnt work the first time. but once it is working it will restore contacts to any android phone you ever own and you can edit and merge contacts from the gmail website to keep it organized.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
I just did this and it wont let me open up Titanium or most of the apps installed it forces me to close them any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
this is after the flash? did you have to log into the maket and install titanium backup from the market or were all the old apps still there? did you make a backup before the flash? is super user installed? busybox?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
yes after flash. I backup everything in titanium, i thought that is what you ment?? yes the apps were still there just cant open them. yes super user is still there and can open it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
sorry i think i miss read something, i thought you meant "incase" hand you lose you apps to backup with titanium which would imply it would be before but now i see it says "if" which implies after the fact, sorry if my confussion caused you problems.

so you didn't do the backup before the flash? and all that apps are present but some force close? is this right? just for clerification
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if the apps are still there you may just need to clear app data, this can be done in titanium or in setting> apps > manage apps> all go to each app individually and clear data. this will lose progress on games but not usually much else.

you may prefer to use titanium, to get titanium to work go to settings> apps > manage apps > 3rdparty/downloaded scroll down to titanium and clear data (this wont hurt the backups they are on the sd card)

if that doesnt work and you have access to the market then delete titanium and reinstall it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im about to be away from my computer, if this doesnt get resolved contact me through pm and i will get back to it tonight. i will make every attempt to keep whatever apps you still have.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
i performed a system restore and in the process of doing an all batch data backup restore on titanium now will update in a few min, thanks again for helping me through this!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
All my apps came back up, just have to reset my screens with my wigets and etc.. but have the new baseband UCKE3 now that is what i was after. Thanks again for the help!:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXIIA:
I recently downloaded a soundboard which has .ogg files in it. They worked as ringtones until I plugged my phone into the computer (which unmounted the SD card). But, on remounting it, they still do not work and the phone substitutes in the default pulsation.

How can I fix this problem? the option for the tones still shows up, but upon previewing and actually using them, they play the pulsation sound.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Danmikee:
Hellooo i have seen that the sense ui is running on our phones when we install ratchs rom But i would like to have just the ui running on froyo or ginger (preferably Froyo ) I would like to start porting it but i don't have a clue where to go all i know is from 2.2 sense all i could find is the rosie file which is the only thing i can see that is the sense....

Any ideas how to get rosie to work and boot up the Sense homescreen???
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AntwnhsAnt:
AFAIK, you can't port Sense's launcher in custom roms because every Sense app needs Sense framework to run...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Danmikee:
Thats what i mean port the sense homescreen with the sense framework :/ then just allow other apps to run like take certain bits of the htc out :/
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mcpaddington:
Use the htc skin for launcher pro to get the htc homescreen then use the sense style framework form racht's floyo and your done :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] ker0ltjuh:
a theme is something really diffirent then the original sense launcher with all widgets and aweosme animations...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] revenge50:
Someth. like this ;) ?

Its a rom 4 X8
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Danmikee:
Yes exactly like that

Sent from my Mind using an x8 with the XDA App
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] proadi96:
But the calls and sms is just fixed... i have this on my phone but i dont use it cuz i want WiFi working at least :-)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mcboykin:
luks great!!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] josephnero:
try rachts legend rom.its from htc legent
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] codfreak:
Edit your framework-res.apk file with UOT kitchen (search for it!), and then you just set everything to Sense.

And for the launcher, try to get it out from HTC ROMs (with unyaffs, it´s neasy to use, search for it!)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AntwnhsAnt:
Guys it's not possible to port HTC sense apps to other Roms...you have to port the whole rom..

if someone can fix the wifi in racht's Sense ported roms it would be great, because he has already fixed the GSM!
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] proadi96:
Yes if someone will fix the wifi i will stick to sense rom ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AntwnhsAnt:
Yeah me too! I'm in love with Sense UI!:D:p
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] MatthewWu:
But, it's the legend rom that having bugs, can anyone give the dock background and the icon so i can modif my LauncherPro (oc Floyo) to look like Sense?? (framework??)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AntwnhsAnt:
Here you go... There are a lot of styles! choose what you like best! :D

Maybe some of them need resizing..Icons can be found Here
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] MatthewWu:
thanks anant123, i have give a thank button to you! :-D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Danmikee:
So by the sounds of it we will have to mod launchers and framework also apps to look similar to the sense ones? Music app will be made possible through miui music app. What other apps will need to be ported ? And if we can get them ported we could cook a rom that has all these sense look alike apps in :-)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] catd3ViL:
@anant123

Nice share brotha...

Thanks :D
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] corsav6:
I would use sense rom if wifi was fixed. is there any chance i could use those dock backrounds wih adw because i find lp useless. thanks for sharing backrounds.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Bump for a resolution. A lot of folks seem to be encountering this issue; I think it has something to do with a Linux failsafe measure (from another thread), but I'm not savvy enough in Linux to know for sure. Good luck to you!
[Dell Streak 7] wikedbubble:
Hey Thanks for the Bump, I am tearing my hair out over thins thing.

On another note I found this post for the LG GX2 for flashing clockwork recovery through APX with NVFLASH

http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html

I hope there might be a way to do this on the Streak, but I don't know that much about NVFlash. My hope in getting the clockwork recovery is that the restore and recovery tools used in clockwork recovery will in theory allow me to format and write roms to the internal memory...... I hope

Anyway I hope someone is reading and understanding my trouble other than Z4nd4r

[Dell Streak 7] tony604:
I've been having similar problems with my streak7. It was working fine on stock 2.2.2 then got stuck in boot loop at the "stick together" screen.

I tried to factory reset in recovery. No change.

I tried to restore with nvflash. It completed fine, but no change.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018809

I tried with fastboot (boot.img, restore.img and system.img). It completed fine, no change.

I tried the 2.2.2 update.pkg in recovery, but it stops at "install modem error", no change.

I tried to flash DJ_Steve's honeycomb, and it stops at:

Formatting partition 2 BCT please wait... FAILED!

command failure: create failed (bad data)

bootloader status: partition table is required for this command (code: 8) message: nverror:0x2 (0x2) flags: 0

I tried formatting all partitions with:

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --format_all

then restore with nvflash

It completes with no errors, but still no change.

I also tried to get clockwork on the streak 7 with fastboot. Even though I didn't get any errors, clockwork recovery did not get installed. So I'm thinking it's some sort of write protect error, since nothing I write to the device seems to be sticking.

If I format all partitions, would the streak 7 even get to the t-mobile "stick together" logo? I would think it would get stuck at the dell logo. I'm stuck at this point and have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions?
[Dell Streak 7] dl421113:
Could the problem be due to previous owner(s) trying to root the DS7 and Dell had implemented some kind of security measure to prevent rooting of the DS7?
[Dell Streak 7] dl421113:
Bump for a real solution.

I found a solution and my solution was to sell it before I threw it against a wall.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
What's the common denominator, here? Were these all purchased used/3rd party?
[Dell Streak 7] tech5:
Mine was bought new and ran great till mothers day and my sis asked to use it to post pics to facebook so I unmounted my sd and gave it to her she poped in her 32 gig sd card and got tired of waiting for the the gallery to populate and ejected the card without unmounting it and handed it back to me and said it was junk an and slow .......ever since its been stuck in read only

Ive dissasymbled it formated it flashed it factory reset it and reguardless of what I do still comes back the same as though I hadnt touched it.......even tried to short the nand chip out to clear it..........its like a cockroarch thats wounded .....it just wont finish dieing
[Dell Streak 7] tony604:
I think we need a jtag solution. Doesn't seem like anything done with current tools will help.

I've scoured the internet and turned up nothing.

My streak 7 is collecting dust and probably going on eBay soon. To hell with Dell. This is my first Dell android device and probably my last.

Edit: found information

So I found the datasheet for the NAND chip the Streak 7 uses (http://omapworld.com/iNAND_e_MMC_4_41_IF_data_sheet_v1_0[1].pdf). Aparently the NAND has a write protect feature (temporary and permanent). Tech5 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113264 says there's a failsafe function that locks the NAND in write protect mode. I don't have the hardware expertise to dig down and see if the system is write protecting the system by locking the chip in write protect mode. If we can somehow figure out how to disable the write protect on the chip, we may have a solution. Maybe someone with good hardware knowledge can take a look and give some feedback?
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
I'm having this same issue over here. I've tried NVFLASH and Fastboot and it acts like it's happening and then you reboot and get back to the same image every time. Maybe time for a call to Dell on this?
[Dell Streak 7] wikedbubble:
Call Dell

It looks like these Streaks are all stock and having the same problem. I tried calling dell but they wouldn't help me because the streak I got doesn't have the flap for the sd card and that is where they say the Service Tag is written. Freaking BullSh!t. Anyway if someone is willing to call dell and see what they have to say that would be awesome.
[Dell Streak 7] contour626:
Dell is the only solution?

I had a same problem too. No matter what I do, the unit reverts back. It became Read-Only Mode. I guess it happens often enough DELL aware of this problem and the tech supports knows what to do. Only way to fix the unit at this point is ship it back.

I shipped back to Dell and Dell repaired it. Turn Around time: 1 Week.

This is my 1st post.

I do have Streak 5 and 7. I love Streak 5 and DJ Steve's ROM Rocks in Streak 5.
[Dell Streak 7] derekedw:
Settings > About > Status > Service Tag at the bottom.

I'm on the phone with Dell right now about this as I can't find another solution and another user had to get theirs repaired. We'll see what they say.
[Dell Streak 7] mcrunner1:
Solution to write protect?

I was trying to copy some music to mine and got the write protect error message. I took out the micro SD card holder and it indeed was locked. Flipped the switch and back in business! Hope this helps someone!
[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
I wonder if it is newer streaks that are doing this, because I think mine was in stock with Tmobile for a while. They had plenty of them there. They must be "Locking the bootloader" so to speak. If anyone wants to send one to a Dev maybe they can do something about it.
[Dell Streak 7] Karadras:
any luck with this any 1? =(
[Dell Streak 7] MasterGBC:
I had a similar issue last week, it looks to be the "Read-Only" Bug. I had to send mine back to Dell, and they just sent me a new unit.

Whatever you do, make sure your DS7 does NOT hit 0% battery, it seems to be the cause of this "Ready-Only" bug.
[Epic 4G General] BWFBezerk:
I flashed EF02 and did update so it asked to install EF10, I picked cancel since I know some people were looking for the file. How can I get it off?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
If your talking about the full EF10 update, and your phone really downloaded it, it would be in your system cache. Did you do "Update Firmware", or "Update Android"?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
I downloaded a short clip video from a website on to my phone. It's a .wmv file about 8 megs in size, when I try to play it back in rockplayer it playsback very slow, like it's in slow motion. Yet when I playback a video recorded by the phone playback is normal and smooth.

Anybody know why?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
Also youtube videos play normally

Anybody have an idea?!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
What media player are you using to view the file?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRuan:
wmv files are always a pain in the ass, they always play slower than usual if they are really using the wmv codecs, this is seems more a codec issue than a phone issue.

Have you tried other files with same extension?

hook the file to the computer and check the codec using Media Player classic from K-lite codec pack, on the properties you can see the codec used.

If on your computer the file get heavy/slower to jump from one time to other this is for sure a codec issue.

Do you get any additional lags anywhere?

Maybe the version of rock player that you are using is not the good one for your phone.

Are you using hardware acceleration? (rockplayer config)

He is using "rockplayer ", not sure what version though!?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
Yes I am using whatever the latest of rockplayer is.

No I'm not using hardware acceleration. Where do I get that?!

Gladbto know it's more a codex issue than a phone thing. Still annoying though.

So is an easy fix to use hardware acceleration? !
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
You can try QQPlayer if it ends up being a codec issue, or system player will even play some wmv.

Is it a 720p video? High resolution or bitrate could be the problem too. Hd video is just impractical to use on x10 unless it's from the video camera.

Stick with sd mp4 trailers if you can find them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
Vital player plays Wmv ok for me, had slow speed with arc media.
[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
What is going on with xda nowadays? I don't know the story but it seems like the devs are fighting amongst each other and half of the comments being posted are negative. For God's sake people, this is still the greatest site for people to find fixes modifications for our phones but I for one think twice now before I post a question or comment on here because I don't want to deal with the trolling or flaming that may come from it. I have gotten a lot of help for my evo from some of the great members here and just don't want any newcomers to be put off after reading a few post. I think we should all just chalk it up to the heat and try to stay positive and helpful. With that said, it is only my two cents. Now its time to go to work in a steel warehouse in 101 degree weather. BOO!
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
I actually agree with this, everyone needs to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. I actually think it would be a good thing to have XDA down for a couple days, so people would be really grateful for when it came back!!!
[EVO 4G General] mrsato:
The reason is that XDA has become so "famous" that people who have no business working on their phones themselves are all over this thing. I do rooting and rom service here for hire and almost all of the people who come to me started out on XDA - most of those ended up with issues they couldn't resolve, the others were smart enough to realize they were in over their heads. Point being, all those kids who troll and flame the forums elsewhere are now here. That's my take anyway.
[EVO 4G General] tx_dbs_tx:
XDA needs stricter forum policies and suspend accounts of users who post such negative comments that they offend other users and provoke such behavior from others. People need to learn to have respect for others and also hold their tongues. Some people can't resist the urge to "put others in their place" so-to-speak and that's totally unnecessary. Thos who make such comments should be given only ONE warning then account suspension. Once people see that XDA has no tollerance for that kind of behavior, people will think twice before being so hateful to others in the forums. That will solve it.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Agreed. I think there is a lot of new people here who just don't understand what these devs do. They act like they deserve something for flashing these devs' rom. These guys put in a ton of work and some people act like they should get paid to run it on their phone. It's a shame really.

[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I have to agree with this statement . I even tried to help resolve a problem one member was having in one thread and I was more or less blasted with some off the wall comment regarding windows on a computer . I sat there and thought about responding but didnt . I only knew it would cause it to continue further so I let it be . So yes I agree with most of what is being said in this thread . Granted I'm not a dev and have alittle theming ability but I try to help someone when I see them in trouble and they are trying to understand . Only since I was in their place at one time and was totally clueless . Yes its easy to scream go read , but sometimes doing the actual process itself is what teaches an individual . The devs on here do awesome work , all have their strengths and all have their different takes on a Rom and how it should work . In lack of better terms its their creations , they are allowed to take as long as they feel they should for it to be up to their standards or expectations . Not the individual flashing the rom . I swear I laugh everytime I hear "Whats the eta on release?" Um this isnt HTC and this isnt Sprint . You want a release date ask sprint or HTC when they gonna offer software upgrades .
