[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I'm looking at an installed Otterbox Defender, and I'm disturbed to see the plastic sheet is cut way too low on the screen, around the earpiece. The shape of the black plastic shell alone is sufficently large enough to clear the sensors/ffc/speaker. There was no need for them to die cut the screen too. This creates a literal pocket for dirt to collect against the screen. Is that how they all are? That's an unforgivable flaw.

Yes sir, the case was designed that way. Returned mine for that reason.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
What a stunningly foolish design. All the had to do was glue $0.005 worth of thin fabric between the plastic (doesn't matter since the LCD isn't there) and that would protect the entire front, plus the speaker.

I'm thinking of getting some really light fabric, coating it with silicone, and pressing it in place. Shouldn't affect speaker quality, silicone is soft so no chance of glass damage, and it would essentially waterproof (to a degree of course) the entire front.
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
The commuter screen protector sucks too. It was flawless for the EVO, but doesn't fit the 3d right
[HTC EVO 3D] siraloz:
It fits my screen just fine.

The only thing that doesn't fit is the top part of the silicone casing. Everything else is super.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Hmm...are you sure you're not talking about the Commuter?
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
Could be worst....the guys over in the sensation forum are crying because otterbox isnt making them a case lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mrazzino:
That would be why he replied to someone elses post about the Commuter ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
Couldn't agree more. I see this as a huge design mistake.
[HTC EVO 3D] focbuster78:
I saw this too, but I really did not think much of it. I guess there is no such thing as a perfect case.

Sent in 3D using my EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Put a full screen protector on it before case and its fine love mine no issues love it no dust issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
That's the way the case was made :D no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I returned it to Best Buy, and got the Platinum Series - 2-in-1 Covert Convertible Case for HTC (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...18353391762&skuId=2809635&st=evo 3d&cp=2&lp=3). I haven't decided if I'm keeping it yet though.

When I returned it, I feared getting a hard time since technically it was open (even there are no seals on the box) but as soon as I briefly showed the guy the top of the case, where it's cut too low, he was absolutely shocked and said "that looks like it was designed to collect grit and be suicide for your screen" and happily exchanged it.

And yeah, you can (and should I guess) use a screen protector too, but it's just so silly for a case that was designed to be the toughest, most rugged thing to have such a glaring vulnerability. I'd rather they addressed that, than put time and effort into putting a plug over something else. I'd rather get my 2D/3D switch dirty if it meant they would have focused more effort on the most important thing - the screen. And given how tightly and accurately the plastic case fits, why did they have to make the hole for the proximity/speaker/ffc so sloppy and loose? They could have cut that thing out with submilimeter accuracy, and it would have fit great, since there is no need for wobble-room/slop when that case otherwise fits so perfectly.

The Defender does feel very nice in hand though, very solid, and I loved the silicone they used. Had a wonderful feel, not the usual tacky silicone you see in "gel" cases or whatever you call them.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I checked the case ur talkin about out felt flimsy compared to the defender also less protection otter box defender takes the cake there. I didn't like the gay flap they had on the convert to cover the camera lens wait for ballistic to.come out with there case if your wanting a tank.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Yeah, I agree. But for me, the best case I ever had for my Evo4G was the Seidio Surface (or BB rebranded equivalent). My plan was to get an ultrarugged case for those days I'm working outside in the field (haha, literally) and the Surface for regular daily use. So that's why the Convert case sorta fits both bills. But I agree, for someone that needs extreme protection daily, the Convert isn't as good as others like the Defender.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Hope it works out for u man. I liked the feel of the otter box more then the seidio convert re branded heard some bad things about how flimsy it was checked it out at best buy didn't really seem as sexy as defender . I think ballistic would be good just that thing is a freaking tank. :D hope u have good luck with finding a case man.
[HTC EVO 3D] The Dark Knight Patriot:
Yeah, I quickly noticed the dust issue there too, but hey, compared to the bubbles that inevitably arise with stick-on screen protectors? I'll take it. I was able to get a swiffer cloth underneath the gap and managed to rid some of the dust that way. The only other option I might consider, if it becomes a real issue later on, is to poke a piece of a feather duster under the protector and gently swab it every so often. FYI- If you use the plastic clip while in your pocket (With the screen facing the backside of the clip), then it won't pick-up that much dust.

Other than the aforementioned, this case is everything I really ever wanted in a protective shell. I love the lens covers, screen protector, double layer of hard/soft protection, and how it fits the device like a glove. I think we can always find an issue with something if we look hard enough, but this thing rocks.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150623970249&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 put this on before the case and ur good to go no dust :D works great for me in the garage where I work on the shop floor mechanic :)
[HTC EVO 3D] nonpointtruth:
Just get a Zagg and pull the plastic piece off the Otterbox..
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
LOL if u use zagg don't put to much solution on the protector or u will get water damage on the screen don't know hoe well these screens are sealed :D og EVO had ****ty glass sealing the screen was never glued all the way around .
[HTC EVO 3D] The Dark Knight Patriot:
Thanks, I'll definitely keep that as my next option! :)

Btw, my brother is a mechanic, pretty cool job if you ask me. You pros make my amateur skills look sad, lol.

Lol, as a side-note, I spoke so soon yesterday, and then last night I randomly discovered a splotch of something stuck between the screen protector and the screen itself. Well, not wanting to pop the whole case off, I decided to cut a straw in half, then sliced it really narrow down one side with the scissors, and I tried to use that as a probe, but unfortunately it flexed far too much to actually move the object (Which was down in the lower 1/4 of the screen). So, I tried compressed air, and while that cleaned the speaker area of any debris it didn't budge the aforementioned object. Finally, I took some basic printer paper, and I cut-out a piece about five inches long, by a half-inch wide, and I stuck that down in there. At first it didn't work, but when I pressed down on the screen protector it worked beautifully.

Here's the deal: Slide the paper down through the speaker opening of the screen protector, slide it underneath whatever it is you're trying to remove (In my case a small piece of dog fur, and a couple dust particles), and then press down on top of the paper. Move your finger (While still lightly pressing down) with the paper as you slide it up towards the opening, and then voila, the debris is now cleared! My screen yet again looks like the very day I brought it home from Sprint.

I thought about cutting out a small strip of stick-on screen protector to place underneath the opening, so as to block anymore debris from entering into it, but I actually think it might not be the best idea, especially if moisture happens to get in there for some reason and the aforementioned then prevents it from properly airing out. I guess an entire screen protector would work, though!

Anyways, I just thought I'd put that out there for you folks (Food for thought and all).
[HTC EVO 3D] Amd4life:
Yeah mine came in, and the little slit at the top kinda sucks IMO, considering how much it cost. My kraken case on my evo 4g is thicker plastic and IMO covers far better

Sucks I have to buy a screen protector to cover up that small opening
[HTC EVO 3D] hTc Arod:
Just got my 3D tonight along with a otter box defender. Cant complain and dont see any issues with my case.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I also just got my 3D and Defender tonight. When comparing the Defender and Convert Combo (Sieidio Innocase Rugged) I thought the gap at the top was strange. I purchased the Defender anyway (knowing that Best Buy has a super relaxed 30 day return policy). I hope the Ballistic HC for the 3D is released within 30 days. By far the best case that ever touched my Evo4G, I plain to keep the 4G for a while, and it will stay in my HC case. Why is Ballistic ALWAYS a month later than Otterbox!!?? It was the same way with the Evo4G, I watched and waited for the Ballistic for around 3 months (from time it was announced to when it released), and looks like it may be the same thing all over again with the 3D.... Also, I like how the Ballistic is easier to take off. I only use the case at work, evenings and weekends my phone is naked. So I loved how I could have the Ballistic off or on in a matter of seconds. Also, the fitment is still like new after being installed/removed atleast 500 times (I never charged my Evo4G, just swapped a dead battery for a freshly charged one)...Ok I'm done, I'm just rambling now...thanks alot Heineken!
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Thanks man love the job my younger brother is in the USMC he has been to Afghanistan 2 times miss shooting the **** him he is stationed in k bay Hawaii :D lucky brother of mine my ass is in TN still were both from Detroit Michigan.

Anyways haven't had any dust problems yet I ended up takin my case apart to remove some lint I got on it when I first took it outta the box . So far its sexy waiting on the kraken or ballistic cases to check them out. 3 cases worth tryin kraken,defender,ballistic . Works great on the shop floor while crawling around on the ground setting the hoist and on the creepers no issues even stood up to a friends pit and boxer mix dog bit my holster and case no scratches. Love it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
ffolkes, I am still amazed at how close they came to a great case but just missed. I'm working in some ideas to make this thing dust proof, and the rails on either side of the screen will get some sanding or something.

In the mean time I've very happily settled on the Otterbox Commuter. I really like the screen protector that comes with it and I haven't had any of the fit issues others have reported. I'm delighted with the Commuter, despite that I'm still not dust proof.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I was thinking of smearing clear silicone RTV sealant on a piece of thin fabric (certain types of craft ribbon can be very coarsely woven and transparent), then sticking it between the top 1/16" of the plastic (where it's just against the black glass anyway) and the top of the plastic Defender case. The only thing that would be a hard would be cutting out holes for the proximity/ffc.

The Defender has a MUCH better port closure system. The Seidio one is merely sliced silicone, and prone to tears.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ballistic will make a bad ass case so will trident with the kraken 2 :D
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Love the defender so far waiting on ballistic :D which is coming out in August should be sweet also the kraken 2 should be be pretty solid loved the one before that i had on the EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
More likely just a poorly-built one. You should've exchanged it.

PS Please ask before you use someone else's sig pic. I took time to make it :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ronnet:
I rooted my Motorola Charm with superoneclick 1.7, or atleast I thought I did. superoneclick 1.7 did say the rooting was succesful and I have superuser installed.

But when using Link2SD it says I didn't have root access. So I checked with Root Checker and apparantly Link2SD is correct. This is what Root Checker has to say:

Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.

Alternate su binary location:

/sbin/su:Permission denied

SU binary not found in the system delcared PATH

Does anyone know what could be the issue? And if not, then would anyone know what is the safest way to proceed from here? I already have superuser and superoneclick says it is Rooted, I'm not sure what would happen if I were to root it again.
[General Questions and Answers] milest0ne2:
I had the same problem with my Milestone, rooted it using AndRoot. I used Superuser to update the su binaries, but still nothing. Then a simple reboot fixed it :)
[General Questions and Answers] andytian007:
My Milestone2 rooted successfully by SuperOneClick 1.3 ,

you can use the 1.3 version to root:)
[General Questions and Answers] Ronnet:
Edit: after a second reset it worked! Thank you very much!
[General Topics] shinjielric:
Can the US variant of the Galaxy S do TV Out? Ive looked all over the setting and can't find anything, however every site ive seen says it can. Any ideas? Did US cellular take that option out?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] 00McD00:
Damn, was really looking forward to waking up and downloading this morning. Sucks that it wont boot. Wonder what is letting it boot on some people's phones and not others.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DarkTharen:
I got it to boot for me but I had to wipe the boot data in the mounts screen on CWM3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
For those having boot issues, try mounting system in "mounts and storage" before flashing and after wiping.

If all else fails, after flashing, go into "Advanced" and "report error". Send me the recovery.log inside the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard.

Sorry guys, it's gotta be something about the script.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TonyG916:
is the wifi setting fixed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Newt:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
I know, I don't get it either. ;)

Lucky ol' me signed a contract in December, so I'll be keeping it OG for a while. Lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alexdeluxe:
Just flashed the ROM coming from Skyraider 3.3. I think I'll finally keep a Gingersense ROM. Only problem is my Wifi isn't working and when I go into settings, it is FCing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Yes, I released a patch earlier to bump to RLS2.1, which fixes the settings fc's. Forgot to put the link in the OP lol.

http://www.multiupload.com/UQYH6RBPC0
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
THANK YOU!!! As minor and miniscule as this seems, it bugged the crap out of me. LOVE your work...gonna flash now!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Is this just the patch, or can I flash from this link and it be the updated ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trickster2369:
It's a patch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
YEP....was getting ready to reply to my own post. I just seen the size...5MB...just a patch!!! WORD!!!

Lets go flash!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Size of zip

Just a newb question I guess, but Ive noticed that almost ALL of the sense ROMS (and I have flashed them ALL at one point or another) are around the 250-270MB size, where as most other AOSP ROMS are 80-90MB (CM7 specifically). Is there truly that much "sense" framework? Just askin...and just curious!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AJGO23:
Sorry to thread jack, but you made day knowing an update is coming.

:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Newt:
Yea man when you want cool shot you have to pay for it one way or the other and if you think about it every HTC app has a widget also.... The framework app for HTC can range from 17mb to 39mb by itsself.... And the new sense 3.0 apks are all massive the fusion.apk is 50mb alone so yea sense adds a lot but I think its awesome
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sped_13:
Is there any way I can get 3.0 weather widget by any chance or can I just download one? Noticed the widget was 2.1 ;)

Edit:I'm dumb never mind
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Yeah...I figured as much...I assumed it had alot in the fusion apk, but for some reason, I didnt even think about the widget apks. Makes "SENSE"!! :p (yeah I know, dumb play on words)!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TonyG916:
missing google talk.

do you have a zip or apk?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] countryfolk07:
Awesome ROM, only issuei have is gps toggle widget fc's launcher? Any idea why that might happen? I think I've finally found a gingersense ROM I can stay with for a while! WOOT!

Edit: I also can't seem to get voice to text on the keyboard to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
The patch has a fc fix and google talk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotbst05:
wdfowty... What battery icon is with the ROM? I'm not digging the round one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Same here.

EDIT - Only the widget fc's. I can go under my pull down and then to toggles and turn it on and off and it works fine. HOWEVER, Im getting a theme app fc. Hit the ok button before I could see the full fc message...something theme or theming...not sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TonyG916:
i flashed the patch..it fixed the fc issue on wifi, but still no google talk. weird
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Thats weird, cause Ive got GT on mine...who knows. Just dl from the market! :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] avenator14:
theme

i loved the rosie theme, when can we expect t the flashable .zip for this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
OK...I found the theme force close. Theme Provider (com.tmobile.thememanager). Did it when I downloaded a theme and tried to switch over.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
Not sure if Im suppose to or not (maybe a mixed ROM) but Im finding traces of CM7 in this? Is that suppose to be there? I wiped and reflashed just to make sure...and its still there, especially right after the install at the setup screen/menu. Just wondering?

EDIT - Wiped Dalvik 3 times before 3rd install and no longer have traces. Was coming from CM7 so thats why the traces were still lingering...OH OH and also, that fixed the Theme FC issues as well. Dont guess Sense and AOSP ROMs like mating!! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Lol, that explains it. You definitely had me worried there :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] emmur0:
The strange thing is I can't find it in the market...which has never happened
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbizzle:
Where is the stock android lockscreen toggle?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoestring789:
MY BAD BRO!! Liking it alot so far though. One of the best parts for me....the BLUE TRANSPARENT XDA!!! WOOOWHOOO!!
