Hey guys,

Just bought the Incipio Feather case and wanted to share my thoughts in case some people were thinking about buying.

The case is definitely very light weight and pretty thin (Incipio states that it is less than 1 mm thin). It's an "ultra light, ultra strong polymer" hard case that is smooth to the touch while having a slightly rubbery feel to it. The case itself has very clean edges with no trace of any manufacturing defects. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons, hdmi port (it's covered in the pictures on their site, but there is indeed a cutout for this), usb port, camera, microphone, headphone jack, and speakerphone. With the exception of the battery, everything is easily accessible through these cutouts.

As for protection, this is where I've been disappointed. First off, the side of the case does not rise above the side of the phone, so when you put the phone face down, the screen will be touching the surface (they provide a screen protector, but I don't think that's enough). Secondly, the case does not completely wrap around the phone, so both the top and, more importantly, the bottom of the phone are exposed. The bottom is important because on a straight drop, the pointed part of the phone will take all of the impact because it protrudes beyond the corner parts of the case. The top isn't as bad because it's flatter, so the corner portions of the case will ideally take the impact. Granted, you aren't purchasing a "feather" or "barely there" case for its protective qualities, but I think that had Incipio manufactured the case to fully wrap around the phone, both the protection and aesthetics of the case would have been enhanced.

In regards to the aesthetics, I purchased the case to avoid the bulkiness of other cases so that I could enjoy the look of the phone. However, the cutouts and the fact that the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone cause the Feather case to "break" the smooth lines of the phone. I would definitely prefer the look of a case that fully wraps around the phone.

Overall, I would not purchase this case again. At $25, even with the screen protector and microfiber cloth, I think that a case like the Androidified case that I previously reviewed provides better value with more protection. With the TPU case, my phone experienced no damage after I accidentally dropped the phone while getting out of a car. I can't say that the Feather case would provide the same sort of protection.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Thanks for the review, this was my favorite case when I had my Atrix. I noticed it on the site the day it went up but did not buy it because an employee confirmed over live chat that there was no hdmi cutout. Now that I know it is there I am placing an order now. I just bought the otterbox and I like it but its just too much for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
This is almost the same exact case as this:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47557

But yours is probably a tiny bit thinner. And this one has a pull out stand which is awesome. They tried to sell this hardcore when i bought the phone, and I got it then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tuanster1119:
The Incipio also doesn't have those rubber ridges. I had one of these cases on my Thunderbolt and I hated it because I keep my phone in my pocket. Went with a Case-Mate Barely There case which seems to be similar to the Incipio.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
It reminds me of an ultra light 1 piece Seidio innocase. It has a similar feel but its lighter and thinner.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
After using this case for a few days I have to agree. This case is not worth it at all. The feather used to be my choice but incipio did not do well with this one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] immaage:
I'm really hoping case-mate jumps on it and makes a barely there case for the Charge.

http://feedback.case-mate.com/forum...867323-samsung-droid-charge-barely-there-case
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Yeah same here. I went back to my Otterbox case but I just ordered the Trident Aegis today. I would rather have a thin light case but this feather is just plain terrible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jpog:
Why you going with Trident Aegis..instead of just using the Otterbox?

Just curious on your thoughts on the Otterbox..did you get the Trident? How is it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
The Otterbox is a good case but I am not too sold on having the buttons on the bottom covered. The Trident case shipped today and I will post pics and a review of the Aegis when it comes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojeb21:
i need to send my phone in to att because the speaker keeps cutting out.

i found stock roms but the disclaimers say do not use to go to stock to return the phone to att for warranty

i have firefire 3.0
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Hmm.. not sure which posts said that, but if you use this, it should take you back to a stock Eclair installation that will be good for returning to AT&T.

Maybe I'm missing something, though. Could you link to the things that said not to flash to stock?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diminished5th:
Agreed confused. Went in one time to ATT and I had a custom ROM, he asked me to convert back to stock then bring it in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
I would at minimum have JH7 on the phone. It couldn't hurt to have KB1. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojeb21:
odin master clear works?

because i think last time i did that, it still showed in the kernel version an attached name which would tip off it was rooted

ex

kernel version

2.6.32.9

hardcore@speedmod
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you use the one-click I linked to, it should put you back on stock everything (which may have the name jetek-lee, or something like that).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojeb21:
yea thats it jetek-lee

well i guess ill give it a try and they dont notice it. thanks for the help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
odin one click is stock.....jeteklee is the stock kernel.....dont know what you are worried about
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
The only thing that could be problem if it is one that came with froyo stock cause would be bootloop if flash eclair so would just have to kies it to froyo

SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Even if it came stock with froyo, you should still be able to flash it back to eclair with odin-one-click, then upgrade to stock froyo via kies mini. AT&T now happy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
Yes but I was saying out would cause bootloop till upgrade froyo with keys, not that it would cause problem, just telling then so don't see at&t screen loop and think problem.

SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
No it won't. I did it half a dozen times on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Hmmm...I am having the same issue and just got my replacement today. Shipping was very fast. I am just going to Odin 1 click back to Eclair because that is what my phone had originally. When I called tech support they asked what was on the phone so I know I will be ok. Good luck with your return.
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
You guys know what to do, spread this around and make sure you mention the bootloader issue in the comments section at the bottom.

[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Did the survey...this is very important!! We need updates & bootloader unlocked!!
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Just seems like it's a follow up survey for people who have contacted them already, not a general survey
[HTC Sensation] nerdo:
Thanks.... yeah they want to hear from their customers.... give ti them as it is!
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
Well then post something on facebook about the bootlaoder and then hit the survey so you don't feel you are cheating them.
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
I filled it out...but like the post above me said this is for people who called in or mailed them, etc.
[G Tablet General] ilkerk:
Hi,

After some research I decided to buy gtablet. It will be my first android so I don't know much about it. (I'm aware that I need to learn about rooting etc after purchasing)

In about an hour, I will be buying one and I'm several thousands away from home so I have to check it well before buying.

What should I check other than the obvious tests ?

Is there any software that checks internal components ?

Or any program suggestions to run ? (For example if skype is installed I can test wi-fi, speakers and microphone at the same time).

thanks alot.

best.
[G Tablet General] oresteez:
honestly...i was about to buy a used one too last week...and then the price of a new one just keeps dropping and making it not worth it to buy it used...unless you are getting some kind of amazing deal. (like less than 200 dollars)

woot just had it for 255.. tigerdirect had them for 260 recently... i think the peace of mind is worth it for the extra 50 bucks...but i dont know your income .. :)
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
I second that. If its under 200 or comes with sweet accessories buy used. If not, save and buy new.

Make sure it has had a screen protector on the the whole time and that the power plug and audio plug work. Biggest issues so far have been broken power ports and headphone jacks.

As far as rooting goes, you don't really need to. All the roms here are stock rooted and if you follow the update.zip method of installing a rom or clockwork mod from stock you will be fine. Oh, and make sure you check what bootloader you are on before flashing a rom. Just read and read some more, tons of us are here to help when you got questions :-)
[G Tablet General] ilkerk:
Thanks for the replies, I agree your comments.

In my case the machine was not used and with a warranty so I purchased it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
Hey All,

I was trying to find a way to make a symbolic link to the SD card so all the movie programs could see it. On a FAT32 it looks like it isn't doable. You can, however, bind mount to a folder.

Here is the info. Credit goes to korora over at modaco.

You have to be rooted for this to work(or so it seems)

Pop open the terminal and enter the following code:

cd /mnt/sdcard
mkdir fssd
mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD /mnt/sdcard/fssd

fssd is generic and can be named whatever you prefer.

Now to find your sd card in a program that can't access /Removable/MicroSD just navigate to /mnt/sdcard/fssd

hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Schroder08:
Wow, this is sexy! Thanks for this, I have only just done it and a quick poke around with ES File Explorer, but it also is nice because I can just open ES, it defaults to sdcard, so I scroll down to MicroSD (the directory I made) and there it is! I know it only saves me 2 taps of the screen, but still, it's nice. So I say, thanks for bringing it to my attention, as I don't follow those boards.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bavarianguy:
Thanks,

this is great and works perfectly!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
No problem. Glad i could help
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
amazing how quickly threads get buried here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Now to add it to the autos execute shell script so it binds every start up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
Neat! Makes me wanna root now :( Wonder if you could do the same with say a 500GB external USB drive :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
This is great but we need app developers to now start allowing us to select where we want app data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
so it kills it on reboot? is there an easy way to make it automatically execute each startup?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chrispazz:
Look for Script Manager in the market.

But I have another question: how can I have programs to save their own settings in this new links/directories?

I do not want to copy it by hand.....and I want to let software recognize their saved settings after a reinstall/restore....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Diablo67:
Nice job,this works great,thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] philsuf:
sorry for the noob question...

where exactly to put in this code?

i tried making new script with the Script Manager and run it but it says:

CD: not found

mkdir failed for fssd, Read-only file system

mount: no such file or directory

but if it worked this workaround would've been great though
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Schroder08:
This is what mine says when I open up the script:

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o bind /Removable/MicroSD /mnt/sdcard/MicroSD

This is with my directory named MicroSD of course. The first line was there when I made a new script so I left it. Not sure if that helps. I already made the directory so I didn't need that command.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ratindahat:
i was trying to figure out where to put the mount line. Thanks, it worked great with script manager.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Now I know that the WF is listed on the Gorilla Glass official page as a product with gorilla glass, but I'm just not sure, because when I hit it with my fingernail it sounds plastic-y. (is it because of the screen protector?)

So, I'm asking if there's a way to see if my phone has GG without taking of the protector?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Some say it has and some say it doesn't. Even there is a YouTube video where a Guy used knife on the screen to prove that wildfire has gorilla glass. And there is another YouTube video where its screen broken on falling from half meter height.

Mine too gives plastic sound when I tap on the screen.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Hmmm.... I guess they made a batch with gorilla glass and a batch with plastic :S
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bednar1988:
I just asked on HTC Online Chat, the consultant confirmed that it has Gorilla Glass:)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
But, how can you explain the plastic-y tap noise? :S
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bednar1988:
I don't know, didn't asked about it, but I will try to test it in next days.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
Plastic sound here too, sucks :( it does not affect usability for me because i treat my hardware good, my wildfire is almost 1 year old (me being the only user), not a single scratch on it ;), but feels cheap :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3VICE:
I don't hear a plastic sound when I tap on mine.

And yeah, I use my **** very good, not a single scratch and using for over a year now.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidino95:
Not when you tap, but try to slightly kick the screen with your finger nail, thats when u hear it..

[HTC EVO 3D] cherylbaker:
One thing I used a lot on my old evo 4g was the reading of my text messages. Whenever a text message came in my evo would read them to me. It did this as far as I know via the tts extended program. There is no such program on the 3d and I installed the one I used on my 4g and it would not run. Does anyone know is this a feature they took out??? Does anyone know if it is possible with the 3d???

thanks in advance

Thank you for the heads up!! I have been checking the Tegra Forums for news of this. My link to it no longer worked. I now see that it was because it was removed from the "Unsupported" section of the forums.

I hope that I can now look forward to a version of Ubuntu or MeeGo for the g-tablet. That would make this tablet much more useful.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
i've searched high and lo, been reading up on this forum for awhile now, reading the tutorials, etc. i must now hang my head in shame. managed to root my phone, put android revolution ROM on it, yay go me. decided i wanted to restore back to previous ROM. couldn't boot into bootloader via vol - and power, so i used ROM manager. went into backup/restore and picked a previous version. rebooted phone and now it hangs on the white HTC screen. i can take my battery out and put it back in and it will charge my phone. i think this might be my mistake, the battery was yellow when i tried all this. but it's been charging for awhile now, and still nothing. when i try to turn it on or the vol- and power it gets stuck on the white screen and is no longer charging. i've looked and looked and seen some suggestions of booting into recovery, etc. but i can't for some reason boot into anything. i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
ok, when i take the sd card out, it boots just fine, so what would my next step be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
Haha....you didnt wipe your device clean before restoring from your backup!

Remove the battery and place it back in, hold the bottom volume button and lock button...you should boot into Hboot(white screen also)

give it like 20 seconds because it will search for a file and select the recovery option by scrolling using the volume keys.

factory reset phone and go into advanced-wipe dalvik-cache

now install any rom or any backup!

You must do this for every ROM and every restoring of a backup...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahervey85:
thank you for your response, but i corrected my mistake, and wiped everything, but the backups i was trying to go back too still didn't work. still got stuck on the screen. i was however able to flash the ROM i had, but it's very basic, and nothing like what i flashed from it originally.
