Bought on the 18th. So hopefully it will come tomorrow? ;]
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Ditto, I'd love to see the smoke hybrid / S actually on the phone. All the ebay listings just have pics of the case by itself, which I think makes it look lighter tinted than it really is... I got a smoked Geo from TPU-Cases but wanted to try these out (for the button cutout layout and mix of glossy & matte), just trying to decide between blue or smoke.
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
I've ordered from them yesterday and got the tracking number today. Hopefully, it will be here in a week.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
Bought mine on the 17th and it only finally shipped late last week. As of the 22nd, it showed as hitting some sort facility in China. It says a delivery date of Aug 2nd thru the 6th. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] joshk89:
I found a seller on ebay that's in Tampa and has these but only in black in seems like. It's 6 bucks free shipping but it won't take who the he'll knows how long to get it.

No link atm, at work, but I just searched evo 3d hybrid tpu and found it.

Edit : http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HYBRID-SOFT-GEL-CASE-COVER-TPU-SKIN-HTC-EVO-3D-/170671308672

Looks like the price went up. Still not bad Imo and its not coming from Hong Kong
[HTC EVO 3D] catpunt:
i've had a couple tpu cases so far, and this one is my favorite. i wish there was an all-matte version though
[HTC EVO 3D] e_town:
I just picked one up from Ebay. I bought it Tuesday of last week (6 days ago) and it came in today. The seller is in the states, fairly close to me. I'm in MI and he is in NY. Less than 8 bucks out the door!

So far i like it a lot. Not too thick, covers the camera well, usb / 3.5 audio is easily accessable. The volume and screen wake buttons push through the case well. The camera button and 2/3d toggle are not covered directly so they are easy to use, yet still protected. A+

[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Got my case today, just like I predicted in my previous post. :]

This is by far the best TPU case I bought thus far. It feels tight, smooth, and just all around great.
[HTC EVO 3D] bitslizer:
got my set of 5 from china... the red is more like a pink, the blue is lighter blue, the purple's glossy surface look a bit not flat, the white is OK, the black had a scuff mark on it.

Other than that, the case is more snug than the smoke argyle case i got before on ebay, I like that! It also feel slimmer in my hand than that case, although the 2 long side seem to be more flimsy than the argyle smoke case.
[HTC EVO 3D] bk718:
a true TPU hybrid case...

and oppose to a previous member stating these cases suck, i beg to differ.. ive used these on other products as well as have friends who use them, and they are great..
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
I dislike the fact that it doesn't cover the camera lens.. I've had one on my EVO 4G and it torn apart

I like it! Do you have to use it with the screen protector or can you use it without?
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
Also you can purchase a screen protector package that also comes with a camera lens screen protector. Ordered mine from phantom skinz. But I do like my camera covered because the sides easily get scratched up. Personal preference like the OP said. I like the design tho

I got the case linked in the OP and I really like it. The only thing that bothers me is that the power button is kind of hard to press. I've been thinking about using an exacto knife to cut out an opening for the button.
[HTC EVO 3D] vudu:
Do it. I did it on mine and love it. A nice big rectangle.... Power button now easy to press.

[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
Hopefully I get mine this week, it left China on the 29th.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I got my smoke one today, I like it better than the black one, mostly because you can see thru the back. And I really like the black one, even though I didn't particularly like it as much in pictures. I don't have an extra camera with me, but here's a mirror pic in the meantime so you can see what the back looks like. The whole camera part is the more clear material, the matte part is around it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Senorkabob:
Find them cheap on amazon.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
Looks good. I can't wait for mine to arrive.

10char!!
[HTC EVO 3D] x4sper:
looks great how long did it take to arrive?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I ordered from this seller on July 15th, came today August 1st. I live in California so that might have helped. I have seen other auctions for this smoke case at a cheaper (~$2.50) price after this seller put the first smoke case up on ebay.

For reference, I ordered my black case from this seller on July 13th, and I received it July 28th. This item shipped from China to Southern California to me in Northern California. (both items took 11 business days)

I have to say, I'm a little torn between the black and smoke colors. The black looks a little more classy, the smoke one looks a little cooler. Black one also seems like it would hide smudges/scuffs better. Black from the front looks a little more like part of the phone, smoke one looks more like a case. In the end, smoke def looks more trick tho.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
Here's some slightly better pictures for anyone who wanted them:
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
NICE!!! Thanks for the pics. Mine should be arriving in a few days. I'm currently using the black case and can't wait for the smoke one.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
damn i hope my smoked case shows up before i leave for vacation
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Wow, the smoke hybrids look clean and stylish. A different beast compared to my white hybrid that I have currently.

Hmm..
[HTC EVO 3D] andrusk:
I ordered one of these off of ebay and it hasn't arrived yet, i'm looking forward to it. What does it feel like in the hand? Is the rubber like a sticky feeling or is a more smooth surface? i.e. if I were to try and pull it out of my pants pocket would it get 'stuck' to the pocket?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I always put my phone in my front pants pocket, and it doesn't get such our anything. Probably the must comparable surface I can think of for the case is like the feel of a screen protector, just thicker. The matte part of the case is smoother to the touch than the clear.
[HTC EVO 3D] andrusk:
Sweet, looking forward to getting mine. Hopefully it helps with the dust under the screen issue I'm having :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
I ordered mine on the 26th from Eay sellser candycindy, on the 29th it was accepted by the post office, and on the 30th it was processed through the Shenzhen facility, which I think is the last step before it's put on a boat for the US.

Hopefully it doesn't take too long because I'm starting to get annoyed by my TPU-Cases smoke Geo... I like the design and the fit, but I hate the covered camera button. It just leads to blurry pictures from the force required to press it imo, though I'm starting to get used to it...

I hope the S case has a decent bump under the power button to make pressing it thru the case easier too, because I don't particuarly like the small slit that's cut into the TPU-Cases Geo either... It makes it so that I can't press the power button by just placing my finger on the phone's edge, i have to angle and insert it into the slit instead (that sounds so dirty...).

It's a little easier to get used to than the camera button being covered, but still irritating. The argyle TPU case I had for my EVO 4G didn't have any of these issues imo, the power button was VERY easy to press thru the case since there was a molded nub over it (on the inside).
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
if it helps at all
[HTC EVO 3D] catpunt:
yeah the hybrid case has a bump over the power button and fits more snug than the tpu-cases ones

[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
Got the smoke one yesterday and I love it. I'll probably be switching back and forth with the black one.
[HTC EVO 3D] andrusk:
I got the smoke TPU case from candycindy on ebay, ordered it on July 24th, got it 8/4, 9 business days isn't bad coming from Hong Kong. It fits perfectly, looks sleek as hell and has a nice rubbery but not too sticky feeling to it.

Only problem I have is the volume button is a hard to press, but that's because the battery case is crap, not the tpu case.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Got my smoke case from candycindy today. It looks really nice but I wish it was a tighter fit. I think the sides are significantly looser than the one I got from TPU-cases.com.

Anybody have the same experience or did I get a dud?
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
When did you order yours? I'm still waiting for mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I think I ordered on July 26.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
That's when I ordered mine. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow. I'm going out of town Tuesday and would really like to have it before then.
[HTC EVO 3D] MsRandall:
I ordered the clear hybrid case...I should have it next week.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
So has anybody who bought these also have one from TPU-cases.com? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on how these hybrid cases compare in terms of fit. The one I got from ebay (candycindy) doesn't fit as snugly as the one I got from tpu-cases - especially on the sides. I'm wondering if they're all like that or if I just got a dud.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
I have a smoke ebay one, and while the sides are looser than the top and bottom, I don't find them loose, at least not in any way that would bother me. I mean, it hugs the phone, and doesn't move unless I push against it from the inside...do you feel yours is moving around or something?
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
The phone itself doesn't move around but when I hold the it, I can actually feel the sides being pressed in. It's not a big deal but the tighter fit on the tpu-cases.com ones just feels better and more secure. It's a shame because I like the cutouts on these hybrid cases better.

Do you have one from Tpu-cases too? If so, don't you think their fit is a lot more snug?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flak:
I ordered a TPU and a Hybrid case. Do they offer any kind of drop protection? Or am I better off keeping the Otterbox Impact despite the fact it's already stretching?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
Still waiting for my hybrid/S smoke case to arrive but when it does I'll compare it to the TPU-Cases smoke Geo that I'm currently using. Frankly I'm getting tired of the button layout on this one, the covered camera button and small hole for the power button is the exact opposite of what I'd like... It does fit snugly tho, perhaps just a tiny bit more so than some of the TPU cases I had with my EVO 4G, and the Geo design looks much sleeker than the argyle everyone is doing now.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
So I'd recommend not buying from candycindy on ebay. My case is way too loose and she refuses to send a replacement unless I pay shipping which is almost the same price as the case itself. It's only $2 but it's really the principle of the thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
I ordered from the same person and got my case yesterday and am happy with how my case fits. On the right side with the volume is a little looser than the left side but nothing to worry about. By far my favorite case.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Yea, I think I just got a dud and she won't send me a replacement. I might give it another try but I'll probably go through another vendor.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flak:
Just got my hybrid case, the fit is damn tight. But my phone seems to be running hotter then it does with my otterbox impact. And of course it doesn't seem like this hybrid case offers any sort of drop protection. May have to try a ballistic sg next...
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
love this case! the white one sucks though its a dirt magnet.get the smoke ones!!!! keeps the phone slim and adds minimal protection! camera is protected fully and buttons are firm yet easy to press. the price is the best i would recommend these cases to anybody.:)
[HTC EVO 3D] runeazn:
whast the difference betweeen a TPU and a hybrid case?
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
It probably got damaged by the postal service... If a box fell on it or whatever and wasn't picked up for a while that could be enough to stretch it out.

I actually had the opposite experience, my hybrid or S-wave case from the same seller (candycindy) is flawless; but the one I ordered from TPU-Cases has a small imperfection, the bottom left corner bulges out a bit. I can press on it from the bottom and exaggerate the bulge out the side, or vice versa. TPU-Cases protects them much better than the chinese sellers (they come wrapped w/a rubber band to hard cardboard IIRC), so it may just have been slight variance from the factory or whatever.
[HTC EVO 3D] Impulses:
I wouldn't say they offer NO protection, I dropped my EVO 4G two or three times while in a TPU case and it was never damaged at all. The worst spill was from about 6 feet and it banged into a metal rack on the way down. It may not look it but TPU is still soft enough that it absorbs a decent amount of shock, my EVO 4G definitely wouldn't have bounced the same sans a case.

As far as the cases being discussed in this thread, nothing... But these are not really hybrid TPU cases, the chinese Ebay sellers just called them that and people ran with it. These are just a different style of TPU that mixes the glossy and matte surfaces of other TPU cases, nothing more. They also have textured side grips which I hadn't seen before on TPU.

True hybrid cases usually have a flat hard plastic back with a TPU frame that wraps around the side of the phone. There's even a true hybrid TPU case now w/a kickstand.
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
I got the 5 case deal on ebay from gadget.robot. Great cases snug fit and cut-outs are accurately placed. The power cut-out is generous and allows thicker micro usb plugs to seat properly without removing the case. Adds very little bulk.

Volume and power still useable not difficult to actuate. I always felt the power button was too sensitive and this case makes the sensitivity just right so it doesn't power on in my pocket.

I still have translucent pink, translucent blue, and translucent purple that I will sell for $2.50 each (or $5.50 for all 3) including shipping via USPS within the USA only. PM me if your interested.

I am having trouble finding a radio that works with this ROM.

The main problem I am having with the radios that I have tried is:

Weak WiFi signal and GPS not connecting fast enough or not connecting at all.

So could someone please recommend to me a radio that they have working well with this ROM.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
What radio are you running currently?

What RIL are you using?

Have you tried "double-flashing" the radio/ril?

Have you rebooted at least twice after radio-related changes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] enjoiracin:
I am currently using: 26.06.06.30_M

What is RIL?

Yes I have rebooted numerous times over a long period of using this radio...still giving me problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Look at post #1 of the Inspire Radio Thread in the dev section. It has instructions on how to check the RIL on your phone, and links to matching RIL's for various radios, including yours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
The AOSP RIL that's built into CM7 is recommended.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
For the 06.30_M radio the op is running?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
I've been having this same problem aswell, I have yet to figure it out, and I don't think anyone here knows the solution. I start to wonder if HTC has more than one wifi antenna going around. Or maybe something is just wrong with ours.

The only thing though is, it only does this with AOSP roms, sense roms are just fine. I say give one a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Yes, that's the radio I'm using.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gentzleon:
Dont know why so many are having problems with radio's.. I have flashed all nightlies with no changes to radios or ril and everything works great....just have always done a clean install and all is good...........
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
...I've flashed kernels that were less than optimum for WiFi...try flashing a different kernel?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Me neither. Seems like someone's always having some sort of problem. I have the feeling the common denominator may be your last sentence.... Clean install.

[General Questions and Answers] Fish in a Barrel:
I'm developing an app, and I'm rather new to Java and Android. I have some data that I'd like to cache to a file. The bulk of it consists of a two-dimensional array of integers of roughly 1,000 x 800 in size. I'm serializing the object using the Serializable interface and ObjectOutputStream. This is taking FOREVER. On the order of several minutes. Now, I know that's around 3 megs of data, but that should only take a couple of seconds, not minutes! Without the array it serializes quickly, so the few other class members don't seem to be relevant.

Here's how I'm setting up the write.

FileOutputStream stream = getApplicationContext().openFileOutput(CACHE_FILE_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
ObjectOutputStream serializer = new ObjectOutputStream(stream);
serializer.writeObject(myObject);
serializer.flush();
serializer.close();
stream.flush();
stream.close();

Reading takes just as long.

I haven't included anything from my object since it's pretty simple. Basically just a 2D array with a couple other members, and it implements Serializable.

Any idea what's wrong here?
[General Questions and Answers] Fish in a Barrel:
I should also add that it takes this long on both the emulator and my HTC G2.
