reply from htc to me re: cases

so i emailed htc about the use of cases with their phones, any physical testing before release, etc., specifically with the evo 3d. here's the reply:

Dear Dave,

I'll be glad to help you out with this information. We certainly do test our phones in a number of manners before they are released, including a number of tests that ensure the durability of the phone. As for recommendation about using cases or not, I don't think we have a stance one way or the other. The phones stand up just fine on their own, but extra protection is always a good thing if you don't mind the bulk. We think of it as more of a personal choice that each person can make. From all reports that I've heard from customers and from my experience with the EVO 3D, it just feels right in the hand without a case; just well balanced and designed. I've also never been much of a case person myself as I just like the way phones feel naturally (at least the ones I buy), so it could be a matter of my opinion. If you feel like you might need a case for your usage of the phone, by all means go ahead and get one; when I do use cases I use Otterbox cases and I'm pretty sure they've already got them available for the EVO 3D. Again, just my opinion, and those do add plenty of bulk, but they're good cases. There are plenty of cases out there, so if you think you need one I'm sure you'll be able to find something you like. However, I think you can rest assured that your device will be safe without one as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] guyandhisdog:
I had the defender... Loved it, got used to the heftiness. BUT since the front edges were so proud and at a steep angle, I couldn't type properly. All the peripheral letters (p l q a # etc) were difficult to press. I had to retype so many times that I returned the case.

Switched to Commuter and seems fine, albeit about half the heft that I liked. Seems to provide decent protection at a low profile. Otterbox is sending me a new Commuter BC I called and said the rubber seems a bit too large. IDK if it is or if I believed it from overanalyzing it from reading forums.

Anyway, I might report back after I chuck this phone against a wall to see how the Commuter really does. Haha

...adjusting to life without the trackball
[HTC EVO 3D] cbrown245:
Ok here's an FYI for all of us. When i was in the Sprint store getting my 3vo and debating what case I wanted and the rep was showing me the commuter I said that after a little while it stretches out and won't fit right ,she told me to bring it back and exchange it , its got a waranty . It might be a pain having to take it back but I don't mind I'm getting a new case. So just a heads up guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
I got the impact at radio shack for 10 dollars. Does what it needs to. The only thing I don't like about silicone cases is the dust that attracts to them easily.
[HTC EVO 3D] mario23:
I have both. Like others have said, the commuter seems to fit a bit loose on top of the screen. Its also weird when I grab it as the rubber moves around too much for my liking.

Defender on the other hand, fits perfect. I agree that the area around the screen is a bit high buy I've gotten used to it and have no problem typing. I need a holster setup so that's another plus for the defender. It's not bulky either in my opinion, considering all that's going into the case.

I also have the Seidio Surface with holster. It's ok but offers little protection.

In my opinion, the defender offers the most value for the price. It's also the best looking case in my opinion. Its a very good case all the way around.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
My commuter fits awesome better than the two I had for the OG evo
[HTC EVO 3D] willysp:
I'm quite happy with the Commuter as an interim case.

It has good shock protection and good grip and a thin profile.

It's a great case for me during weekdays in the pocket of my dress shirt.

I'll likely go with Seidio later since I like to use a holster on weekends with jeans or shorts. Not sure why Otterbox ignores that market, but they do .........

Hi Guys,

Is Canada's Bell i9000m is it the same as international's i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordio:
Yes it is the same as the international one.

i am able to flash any i9000 rom on my i9000m and it works fine...

I've flash darky's Roms (from 9.5 up) and now i'm currently using Dark Core 2.7.3_4 JVP running the F1 JVP V9 ROM and love it.

What did you need to know?

For GT-I9000M, any rom would most likely work, but you might get issue with the modem.

If so, do what's stated here:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Bells firmware is KC1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
The I9000m is very similar with the exception being that it uses 850mhz band umts and GSM rather than 900mhz.

this is why you might have issues with the modem. International version modems support 1900mhz band so you may not notice the issues immediately as bell runs both 1900 and 850 but its best to at least flash a modem that uses what is available. Some people think the 850 band is better but unless you check to see what band is in use all the time who really cares as long as it is available.

As for the firmware. As mentioned the most current is known as KC1 which is the last 3 digits of the whole thing. You can find it at samfirmware.com (you need a username to download - they seem OK - no spam) and then flash it via ODIN (search for 1 of about 18000 tutorials here or see the one at samfirmware.com)

Good luck all.

Ok I barely bought this phone..I got rid of the Sidekick 4G..i got so tired of waiting for something good for it,but no seems to be playing around with this device. Anyways I need help flashing the HD2. I'm converting it to the Android OS and I cant seem to freaking pass the HSPL 4 usb connection. It keeps saying

" The procedure entry point CeSvcGetStringW could not be located int he dynamic link library CEUITIL.dll.

I tried replacing the CEUITIL.dll. but that didnt help. I also have windows mobile device and both tried active sink and file transer nothing works!!

What happened to the 3vo being able to talk and surf at the same time as many reports had stated prior to the release of the 3vo? Is this something to be added later or a never gonna happen type of thing?
[HTC EVO 3D] WisdomWolf:
It works just fine, but only if your data connection is either via wifi or 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] Poseidon215:
Yes I know that same as the EVO but i meant over 3g not 4g or WiFi
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
Sprint has to enable svdo on their network. The 3d and the EVO shift have the chip set. They are just not activated.

Sent from a dual core beast 3VO. Do this on your iFail 4 :D
[HTC EVO 3D] codee:
I hope they it asap... It would be very handy and good marketing against verizon too.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
would be better marketing against at&t really, since they are the only one with bragging rights at the moment to be able to do this, not even verizon can at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] RichTJ99:
Actually the Verizon Thunderbolt can do it currently. Its been something that has been making me think about jumping ship, though at those prices, I should buy a flip phone for when my Evo is online...
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
The thunderbolt can only do it on LTE and the phone has no toggle to turn LTE off unless its rooted
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
He's right fellas

Bussin Caps n 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
No the Verizon TB can do it over cdma without being in LTE area. Not all VZ areas support it yet but the phone deff can do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Don't think so. the way sprint is doing their voice+data will require a certain chipset on the phones that supports SVDO, which last I checked is NOT in the EVO3D nor the shift. The MDM9600 is the only one ive seen and confirmed to have this built in.

Also a lil note for people that are interested This post lays out some things for the future in sprint and are pretty reliable sources for those that do not know them.

[HTC EVO 3D] socalxploder:
Well people, after reading this thread I just had to put in my 2 cents about it. I live in a 3G area of upstate New York with NO 4G around me and can talk and surf on my Thunderbolt. That was the only reason I dropped the call dropping iPhone with at&t and swithed. I drive a truck "18 wheeler" and everywhere I have gone in the New England area that doesn't have 4G I have been able to do this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jeremiah239:
He is right.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
No he's most definitely wrong. The Thunderbolt can do simultaneous voice and data on 3g in svdo enabled areas.
[HTC EVO 3D] mducheiney:
Talk and Surf on EVO and EVO 3D

The solution is not at all elegant and drain the battery pretty quickly.

What else is new here?

In any event, be it in 3G or 4G (irrelevant for 4G I guess):

1) activate the built-in hotspot (password protect it to prevent others taking

advantage of FREE Wifi draining your battery faster than Concord)

2) Activate the phone Wifi and connect to the newly created Wifi in Step 1

At this point, you should be able to talk and surf; an added bonus (already available thru the hotspot feature), is you're able to connect other devices to the Hotspot connection created in Step 1.

The new problem you will have now is to find yourself a lasting battery.

It looks like they finally fixed the issues with Splashtop HD and the 10.1. I want to know if anyone is using it and if so, how is it so far? I'm very close to buying it, but want to know for sure that it is working.

Splashtop Remote Desktop HD

"...** Validated for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Asus Transformer, Motorola Xoom, Acer

Iconia Tab A500, Acer Picasso, LG G-Slate, and others **"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbeelzebub:
I saw that in the market this morning. I'm curious if when you access your PC, if it does like other remote desktop type apps and actually shows on my screen at home when I'm away. I'd have to remember to turn my display off, but leave my cpu on if that is the case I assume.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaskell:
I have it. works fine. I see almost no difference between it and the non-hd version though. hopefully they add all the features they have on the ipad soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xManMythLegend:
Does it take up the full tab screen? Does it still change the resolution on the pc?

Has to be some reason for hd version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ericc191:
So it doesn't support higher resolutions? I'm trying to decide between this one and Remote Desktop Client. It has great reviews.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cekle:
I own it. It has the option to scale the screen to match the tab, or set it to 1280x720 to fit the tab. Works great, provided the computer is both on and logged in.

Unfortunately, on headless servers the software is useless because the client software requires a user to bbe logged in and active. When an RDP session ends, the software shuts down automatically and prevents login through Splashtop.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] sportedwood:
I have a similar setup where that issue affects me. I also wish it could zoom if you did want to use a higher resolution.

It is very fast, you could watch a movie from local network fine but with a little bit of delay.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaskell:
yes, it does support higher resolutions.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] keyl10:
The resolutions are

800 x 600

1024 x 768

1280 x 720

Best fit to this device

Native of the computer

So basically it does any resolution if you choose native of the computer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] njfoses:
Is there anyway to zoom using this version?

Any recommendations for this app? I've been using VLC for the past while, is this better?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
I use this type of app numerous times a day to get info off my companies servers as well as use our company data software.

I have used this for the past 5hrs and im impressed so far. Works well. Maybe a little lag once in a while...but im assuming that's from spotty 3g service (tethered to phone).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Dc5e:
I got this app yesterday so I could stream live TV from windows media center on my desktop. The video was surprisingly smooth. I would say it ran pretty close to 30 fps with some fps hiccups from time to time. The audio was great as well.

I haven't tried using VLC but if you're looking to watch other things than video files, this app works great. Other remote desktop apps come nowhere close to the video and audio performance of this one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] notfaded1:
Ever tried 2X ?

What makes this better than free one like 2X ? Really would like to know.

Also I found a hack that lets windows home edition work like a terminal server which is saweet!

Even lets you connect console and have more than two users just like terminal server.

EDIT: ah I see now 2x won't play video over rdp... Window is black in player
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] thatdude90210:
Splashtop doesn't use traditional remote desktop protocol, it uses its own streamer that you install on the computer/server. I've never seen regular remote desktop or vnc server/client stream this well, especially with videos.

I have no experience with 2x but no video or black video window on client/secondary monitor is usually due overlay issues. Try changing video player setting away from overlay.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mesasone:
What kind of upstream connection do you guys have? Splashtop HD works amazingly well on my local network, but once I try using remotely I find it's performance leaves something to be desired. It works OK, but is generally slow and I wouldn't even think of doing any audio or video with it. My upstream is capped to around 100 kb/s or maybe a little higher, so I suspect that may be the issue.

Does anybody know of a solution that works better with such bandwidth constraints. I'd like to be able to remote in on my tablet and from my computer at work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] thatdude90210:
Splashtop is great on a LAN, but not as good over the internet. My cable (comcast blast) upload is ~3.7 Mbps at home, and the DSL download at work is 3 Mbps. And even then watching videos is not good. The audio portion is fine, the video portion is about 3 frames per second and less.

For watching video over the internet, Plex or Playon should be better. With Plex, you can adjust for your bandwidth. I think Playon detects your upload and adjust accordingly.

I couldn't get Plex to detect my server over the internet to test on my Gtab 10.1, works on a regular computer browser so it's not a firewall issue. Playon works fine for streaming. But I suspect your 100kbps could be problematic.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] TheHighlightGuy:
So between LogMeIn Ignition, 2X, Remote Desktop Client, and Remote RDP, which do you all recommend?

I plan to use it for repairing/diagnosing software issues from my house instead of having people bring me their computers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mesasone:
I'm (generally) not that interested in watching video via remote desktop of any sort. It would be nice if I could use spotify from work sometimes though. Mostly I just want to have access to my appications (not to mention unrestricted internet access) on my home computer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] peare:
Non HD version was working well, so I paid for the HD version and since then there is a constant flicker. The screen on the tab goes completely black, then it comes again, and flickers. Cant refresh the desktop. If you dont touch you see the whole desktop, but you have to touch to use it, no? I cant use this anymore. I would like a refund... but alas!
