[Defy General] rubjonny:
yep mine was broken brand new out of the box, and it was made early this year. so this confirms they still havent fixed the original problem and any defy can fail even brand new! whats worse is the replacement already started to fail within a week of getting it back :(

sometimes during a call the sound starts to go tinny/crackly, i find if that happens during a call if i push the back middle of the phone near the camera with my finger that fixes it. we'll see how long it lasts before the speaker fails entirely, if it happens again I'm not sure if I'll send it back to them or repair it myself with the improved design K850i speaker...
[Defy General] Carnivoro:
I have two Defys with same issues, but there are a biggest problem, after reparation i'm not sure the quality of sealing for water. One of my Defy has problems with mist under glass of screen.
[Defy General] rubjonny:
this is true, but i dont plan to test the defy by makign phone calls and videos underwater, thats just asking for trouble. i bought it for the extra durability and water resistance, rather than for waterproofness!

I waited many years for a decent rugged phone to replace my Siemens ME45, its just a shame motorola didnt get the earpiece right and didnt improve the design when it became clear there was a serious problem with it! still, i'm loving my defy even with the problems :)
[Defy General] nonsense91:
this is the reason why I am scared to get it replaced
[Defy General] sferrariba:
Mine stopped working and motorola replaced the phone. Im in argentina ,many people here had the same issue. Just call moto im sure they will take care

[Defy General] farsight73:
I never test my Defy on water so far. I bought it for the durability but not going to force into it purposely. However, my Defy had drop twice from 1 meter height and half a meter height repectively. No scratch and it worked fine so far.

Hope it will work until the next improved Defy come to shore..

Edit: How do you people set your earpiece volume? Are you guys set it highest?

It actually have 15 steps increment. Mine is now set at 10/15 as per attached picture shown and it's good enough to hear the other side talking. App: AudioManager

Heh that's awesome, I've been scared i'm going to break my cover the amount of times I take it off (sim switching). I guess I don't need to worry after all :D
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
wow:p

i was worried, not anymore lol
[Galaxy S II General] tuhinz:
Nice to see that!
[Galaxy S II General] jdlorinser:
Damn, that made my heart skip a beat. Was waiting for the snap! Very impressive.
[Galaxy S II General] aaronsoup:
As nice as that was to see I think it's impossible to not be paranoid about breaking it!
[Galaxy S II General] fuusuke:
Lol, i was so scared opening at first, didnt even want to open it cause it looked like it was going to snap
[Galaxy S II General] bentothemaxx:
That's awesome! Goes to show you don't need a (heavy) unibody aluminium construction to have a strong phone!
[Galaxy S II General] Tinderbox (UK):
I hope the rest of the plastic on the phone is as strong as the back cover
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
I always found the 'flimsy back cover' issue rather silly. Its easy to replace anyway should it break. It fits perfectly and its quite resistant to scratches.

When we get criticism for it remember.. Its not fragile glass (not naming names, but we know who uses that, and what a huge pain it is to replace..) and its not a unibody, easily scratched and expensive to replace.
[Galaxy S II General] maxxell:
+1 Very reassuring. :)

[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
WOW. That is some epic plastic. I LOVE how many of the reviews had to be very picky and said "the back cover is flimsy, and easily breakable"

SORRY WHAT?? :D

Still not gonna attempt that with my back cover :p
[Galaxy S II General] heatfire:
The word "flimsy" is overused..

flimsy means weak, brittle.. sure to fail..

well also means thin.. but why not say thats its a thin back cover..
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
Yeah, I am also wondering that why everybody is so worried about the back cover. I think it is quite firm and sturdy. Not easy to scratch.

Also if I happen to scratch it I can always by a new one. So why to use some back cover? Maybe to cover the camera but most back covers don't give much extra protection to the camera.

Only complaint for this back is that when you get sweaty hands I think the plastic somehow sucks the moisture in it and even after i get clean hands the back cover feels a bit..smuggy
[Galaxy S II General] funnycreature:
Thanks for the video post! The SGII is finally available here in the US for AT&T customers. Yesterday I went to the store and had a look but the flimsy/cheap feeling of the batter cover was the biggest turn-off for me. After seeing the video I feel better but still, I would like to see something more sturdy, like a metal cover. The closest thing I found discussed here is a metal-plated cover:

Has anyone tried them yet or can suggest alternatives? For now I am holding off until the Nexus is announced next week...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] vyis:
Big thanks for this video, i was thinking of getting a few backup batteries from ebay (since it's cheap and i drain the juice like water), but afraid of breaking the back cover pins when i change the battery frequently, since it look so "skinny".
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
I've been swapping batteries once a day for the past 3 months and my cover is just fine.
[Galaxy S II General] djUniversal:
Still not quite convinced

I want the Galaxy Nexus but the back cover makes me cringe still. Does the fold line at 0:16 not worry anyone else?

I went to the store and took the cover off a GS2 and my stomach went into knots :o:(
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
I dont think there has been any broken battery cover threads tbh.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
The phone in the video is not a Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] dknotty:
Amazing!

Hope the extended battery cover is similarly robust.
[Galaxy S II General] God_Lx:
Couldn't care less about the video since my WHITE SGS2 battery cover is already broken and I got the phone 2 weeks ago.

Had a black one for like 2 months no issue at all but this white one is diferent and definitly more fragile... I'll just get an aluminium one from Ebay or so since they're really cheap but not happy about this even a bit...
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Amazing!!!

Everyone was saying how cheap, easily snapped plastic cover we all had but.... Damn, that is bloody strong!!!

Light, thin, flexible and strong ...

[Xoom Accessories] Turkawa:
Since i hated the iphones's original earphones i got myself a Sennheiser CX380 SPORT II. I love the sound of it but i didnt want to lose the ability to control the iphone and talk when it rings so i got a belkin earphone extension for iphone.

Today i wanted to listen music from xoom and pluged my earphones to it. Then accidently i clicked the - volume button and xoom PAUSED! When i clicked it again it resumed.

If any of you use iphone earphones or control extensions you might want to check it..You can pause and resume the xoom from them

I searched for xoom specific earphones with hope that maybe control the voice too but failed.

I just wanted to share this
[Xoom Accessories] armychris28210:
Yeah, I did that as well. I think of it as a nuisance. Hopefully it means that there's a way to get it correctly working on the xoom

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jags_the1:
hello,

i am on miui rom and when i apply a theme the status bar color just stays stays black(icons on status bar changes though) and if i try other launcher it changes to the theme color one .

so launcher pro doesn't support status bar theming?

can anyone confirm this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jags_the1:
No one has any idea about this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
I don't believe it does. I tried various items from the uot kitchen and none would work with launcherpro. Same black background. I did a search and found a few forums of people saying the same thing

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] painbearer:
Unfortunately it doesn't support theming of the status bar yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deckoff:
I am a CyanogenMod 7 user, and I manage well all along.

I cannot find sleek solutions to few problems, so decided to ask -

EDIT: it seems send via bluetooth is inactive for some files in File Expert, my mistake.

2) A contacts app that allows me to add birthday to contact - I dont want a reminder or something, I got my phone synced with birthday cal already. Most apps will open the default edit contact dialog when it comes to that. The less FB and twitter integration, the better - I'd gladly take the HTC contact app or something similar if there is any chance

Contact Editor adds it, free on the market.

3) Send/receive vCard added option - I use go sms. Handycent sms has it embedded , but it does not support well Cyrillic contacts and most of mine are Cyrillic, so it is a must.

I know I can get all three if I go with Sense ROM, but this will eat a lot of space, so this is las resort.

Thank you

Can someone else who's running VTOK confirm that your phones awake time is almost identical to the uptime? I've noticed the program is running all the time, even though I'm not even signed in to it. I deleted it about half an hour ago & my phone is finally showing that it's not awake all the time.
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
Is it the program that's running or the service? You know it has to be on for you to receive video chat requests.
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
Yup, i uninstalling it after it kept my phone awake draining my battery in 3 hours
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Don't remember. That's the thing though, I was signed out & didn't want it on unless I knew I was going to make a video call. It starts automatically & ran no matter what.

I've emailed the developer & I hope they respond

Notice an improvement yet?

[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
Negative, not for the majority of them. You just apply them with the theme chooser. Most of those (i haven't tried all of them) should be an .apk. Just download and install the .apk. Then go to the 'theme chooser' app and select it, just as you do with the 4 themes that already came with Deck's rom. These are all compatible with the Theme Chooser.
[EVO 4G General] joey21589:
None of the links are working you know any other place
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
They're not working for you? They should link you to the market. I just tried quite a few of them, and it takes me to the online android market web page. From there it just installs to your phone. You just need to make sure you sign into the market online. Then it'll wirelessly push the app to your phone. If the links aren't working for you, I'm unsure. They all work fine for me...

There are a bunch of themes that are compatible with the Theme Chooser that are available in the market. You can search the market on your phone if you want, for cm7 themes, or theme chooser themes or something. there's a ton of them.

Folds up easily , sturdy , both portrait or landscape.

Would be nice if it was a bit thinner when folded.

This is onsale. May consider it if it folds relatively flat and keep the above at home.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] madsquabbles:
+I agree . darn good and adjust to just about any tablet. extremely stable too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Digital Man:
Those stands are so good, I think Tablet companies should strike a deal with Arkon and give them away with their devices. Increases the usability of a tablet tremendously. Sure beats trying to prop your tab up on a pile of books.

After I bought the first one, I bought 2 more and put them in the drawer as backup if I lose or break the first one. Really great product.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] songmeesay:
Another + for the Arkon. I have 2. I also bought a Twelve South Compass stand knock off on dealextreme.com because it was slimmer, but I actually like the Arkon better because it's so light and many more viewing angles.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] vansmack:
Thanks for the tips, guys. I

'm debating these two stands right now. You say the arkon is lighter than the comasps stand? And how much bulkier is the arkons stand?

And if you don't mind - do the pegs at the bottom of the compass get in the way of typing? They look really long...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] songmeesay:
the twelve south knock off comes in at about .4 inches thick and the Arkon measures 1.2" thick. The twelve south weighs a good amount more because it's made out of metal.

The legs don't really get in the way at all from my experience.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] kytz:
Amazon won't ship this to my adress in Europe. A shame, I could use an affordable stand and this one sounds decent.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] urwifeismyslave:
Is it the galaxy better than the xoom? Is it easy to root and change rom? Whats your thoughts
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] th0r615:
Better? That's a matter of opinion. Its lighter and thinner and has a better screen but doesn't have an SD card slot and hasn't been rooted yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
I don't own the tab yet, but this is an obvious answer. Aside from the USB port, soft touch back, and SD slot, the GTab10.1 is superior.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Missing_link:
For what matters to me, it's clearly better. The screen is no question much improved over the Xoom.

It's also lighter in the hand than the Xoom, which is important to me as I read most of my books on electronic devices now.

The Xoom of course has more connectivity. But for me, having an SD card slot and USB connectors vs. Samsung's propriety cable is not really important. And I should mention that the Xoom still doesn't have SD card functionality as far as I know.

I would say the only con that I have noticed is that the Xoom charged quite quickly. The Samsung takes much longer to charge, but seems to hold it's charge much longer. So it's a bit of a trade off there. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you remember to plug it in overnight for instance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KING SKILLZ:
i have both...had both i just returned my 10.1 about an hour ago, and to me the 10.1 is better out the box, but i might have to factor in that my Xoom was HC 3.0 out the box. i was going to return my Xoom that first week until the customization took off and pretty much improved the Xoom in every way, i'm not sure if the 10.1 will receive this support and how difficult it will be without an sd card. the 10.1 is streamed lined, light, with even weight distribution, and the screen is 10 times better than the Xoom's in my opinion.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
For me the Tab is surely better than the Xoom. I think the Xoom is also expensive than the Tab. The Transformer vs the Tab is a more tricky choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I really hated the Xoom. Has such a thin bezel that is uncomfortable to hold and and too heavy. The screen as so bland and washed out looking.

I also had a Transformer. My opinion is...

Galaxy Tab 10.1 > Transformer > Iconia A500 > Xoom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:
Had a xoom returned it after a week. So far I'm liking the overall build quality of the GT10.1it just feels really good in my hand. The xoom obviously felt sturdier due to its metal frame but way heavier. The GT screen is way better.xoom always seemed kind of washed out. I returned the xoom because I bought it under contact with verizon and just felt to many pieces of the puzzle were missing for its release. It has the most functionality(in theory, but not in practice) whenever it gets around to allowing you to due what its advertised to. But the GT is flawed at the moment. I use a mac mini but have to boot into windows on it just to transfer files, not cool. I spoke to a samsung tech person directly and was told mac isn't supported at this time. That's just beyond stupid to me. I still hate that there is no native video app for android. How can you sell a device that's main selling point is media and you don't even have a movie/video app out of the box. I feel once the baby is rooted her true beauty will shine. Till then its the same old waiting game I played with the xoom but without the contract.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
I'll 2nd (or 3rd) the comments on screen quality. My XOOM's (returned just before June 8) screen was really washed-out - this was a bit of a disappointment for me. I had no real gripe about the weight or thickness, it did feel very sturdy in my hands.

Have not received my GT yet (Tues!), but from what I have been reading, the screen is a nice improvement. We'll see how it feels in my hands once I get it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Sandelb:
I never owned a Xoom, had a Nook Color for about a week before returning it (not fast enough) but I straight up love my GT. Screen is amazing, battery life is stellar, and it's nice and light. It's definitely still feeling a bit underpowered. Some stuttering when adding a new widget/icon to the homescreen and the text input lag in the stock browser. Beyond that though it's great. Just need to get some root access up in this ***** now!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Canadoc:
Well I think that depends. The keyboard dock and added connectivity of the Asus make it a better deal especially with quad core tablets less than 6 months away. The screen of Samsung might pop more but with oversaturated colors. The Asus screen is still quite great looking as good as ipad2 but higher pixel density.

having built in HDMI and micro SD is nice and the dock has come in quite handy as a stand extended battery and netbook device. Not to mention having 2 USB ports and SD card slot really allows it to import photos videos etc makink it great for travel with a camera etc.

Also paid only 9$ more for tablet dock combo than the grab alone would cost me.

Also right now great Dev support for Asus with root and OC kernels as well as custom Roms
