Thanks. Great info. Appreciate it. Gives me a tone frame of when mine should be here. Should bee like monday or something. Appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
I received two cases, white and red. Took two weeks from the date ordered to my doorstep. Purchased from Obostore and did not receive any shipping notification.

Nice cases but I expected a little better quality. Not saying it is a bad product but I can see and feel the seem from the mold press on the side of both cases. Also, the red one does not fit properly. The part that fits over the corner near the power button does not fit snug. There is a small gap between the case and the phone. Not thrilled about this.

Again, nice cases but a little disappointed with the quality control.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Anyone have any pics of the white one? I know there's some stock photos of it but ehhh, I wanna see some real-life stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cybereclipse:
did you try pushing it from the back top until you feel it click? I had to do that on mine.

Plus if you have anything in between the case and the phone, it wont fit

period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Cheaply made? The case was $10 with free shipping from Hong Kong, lol. It's a simple, quick on/off case that is pretty darn good for the price. I try to keep things in proper perspective.

You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I will get some pictures taken for ya and upload later today.

You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Here are the pictures of the case. I took them with my friend's EVO 4G and he emailed them to me...then I resized them so they wouldn't be so big. I hope they look decent enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Hey thanks! Looks good. Looks a little bit different to me. Than those stock photos anyways. Hows it feel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Like I mentioned earlier, since I discovered that it fits in the seidio holster, it's my daily case these days...in fact, I'm looking for a blue version, but don't see it on their site.

You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enyahs:
Got my white case today. First impression. I love it. Adds so much less bulk than my stupid speck case. Looks so nice. Only downside. Looks like the white will dirty up pretty quickly.but I love the feel of it and it fits great
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
That is exactly why I got the red case... And honestly, It's the best case I've had in a while :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enyahs:
Loving mine so far. Already got a couple compliments on it. Also i put on the screen protector after debating whether or not to take off my old one. And well.. no regrets. Works good enough to where i dont feel a difference and i luckily got it on PERFECT, Straight and no bubbles. (Thats a first). I think i might have to order another in a different color.

My main factor in lookin for cases. Good protection WITHOUT adding bulk. All i really care about. If you're lookin for the same. This case is great
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I"m still looking for a blue model, if you find one. I could have sworn there used to be one on the obostore site when I ordered my white and red ones, but didn't get it because I already had a blue seidio...but these are so much slimmer than the seidio, I really want a blue one...and now it's gone from their site.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enyahs:
Same. Im looking for a blue one. Might contact the seller on ebay. If i find one i will let you know
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmtaub:
This is the case that I have been looking for. I had a Casemate Barely there for my Vibrant it was perfect. I just ordered the brown one from the Obostore and can't wait for this to show up. Thanks for the find!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
Looks good. I like thinner cases as well. Probably invest in this thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
Any more updates from those that purchased this case? Wanted some more feedback before i pulled the trigger (i know it's inexpensive, but still lol)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Great cases...I have 2 of them, red and white. With that being said, I use a holster (they fit in the Seidio holster perfectly) all of the time, so I'm not particularly worried about dropping my phone when pulling it out of my pocket or whatever. I have, however, dropped it several times inside my house on wood and tile floors, and there has been no damage.

I love how quick and easy it is to remove and slip back on if I need to swap out a battery, or slip the phone into the dock.

I will say that the white is no longer as white as it was. This was predicted earlier in this thread. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like underneath the white coloring, it was once red, because on the inside, I can see red wear marks. Either way, it sill looks great, and it still fits snuggly.

Of course, keep in mind, that there are areas of the phone that are not protected by this case. That's what keeps it so thin and quick-changeable. So if you are clumsy, I would get something else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
sweet. Just ordered it. Couldn't stay away from the white even though I know it'll probably get browned up after a while.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychopuff:
mmapcpro,

Are you liking how the sleeve fits into the Seidio holster? I just got my G2X on Saturday during the sale (FREE! W00T!) and I am reviewing cases. I was thinking about going with the Seidio... No, I'm not worried about the corner scratching thread. I'm looking to protect the whole phone but I have to have a belt clip of some kind....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I use a nillkin case with the seidio holster every day. I love the combo... Holster gives me protection while moving about, yet the nillkin allows me to swap batteries, cases, whatever, very quickly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychopuff:
Thanks for the input and the quick response.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cybereclipse:
got a black one

today....my white one discolored a bit on the edges but i still use my red and black one <3

"8. Frequently use the native task manager to free memory.. Long press on the big button to access task manager."

This is wrong advice. This actually increases battery use. The frequently used applications stay in memory so that they will not be loaded again when needed. If you purge the memory like you recommend, these apps will have to be reloaded every time, which significantly increases battery usage.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
It's not wasting memory, it's just sitting there doing nothing in case you launch it soon again. If that memory is needed by another program, Android releases it immediately.

Try this yourself. Launch a game, then exit. You'll see the game still in memory. Then launch other apps and games. You'll see that the first game is no longer in memory, because Android saw that that part of the memory is needed elsewhere. It's all automatic and it works well. There's no need to fiddle with it. As I said, fiddling with it actually increases battery usage, because frequently used apps have to be reloaded every single time, instead of being called back from memory.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I have to disagree with this. Quite often I have noticed that after playing some game my battery still keeps draining like hell.

I know that Android is SUPPOSED to work as you said it would, but there are quite a lot of rogue apps which don't behave like that.

So unless you are 100% sure that your apps are not rogue apps in any possible situation I also have to suggest to use the "kill all" once in a while.

I don't do it often, maybe twice a day but it helps.

[Galaxy S II General] twitceh:
I have done most of the things you mentioned, but my battery is still appalling. I am using VillainROM 1.4, KF2. I really want to fix this, I heard some people are struggling to get 12 hours from their phone, I am one of those.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
I agree, yesterday I barely used my phone. 1 hour and 40 minutes of screen on time, 3G, Sync, Whatsapping most of the time that I used it, wifi, too. Downloaded a few apps maybe 10 minutes of games. It was at 40% when I went to bed 15 hours later. I barely touched it! LOL.

I don't mind though, this is a FANTASTIC phone. I wouldn't change it for any other phone at the moment. I will probably get an extended battery case from Samsung in the near future. It's a case AND a battery ALL IN ONE! :D Woopie! lol.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I am starting to believe that it is a hardware fault..If lucky it could be because of the battery. You could try to order another battery and see how it goes.

If not so lucky then its something else in the phone which is almost impossible to fix at home.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I have no personal problem with you, but if you open up a thread for newcomers, you shouldn't give misleading information. Thinking task killers improve battery is a telltale sign of noobness.

For newcomers who really want to learn about memory management in Android and the truth about task killers, I recommend these two articles:

[Galaxy S II General] Alex530:
Pretty sure with an attitude like that you'd be lucky to have someone on your ****.
[Galaxy S II General] fenguinpower:
My simple solution. Buy juice defender ultimate. Its cheap only less than 9 dollars. Set it to extreme and configure each app. Then go to market and search 'gothic'. Select the darkest and most plain black wallpaper. You are done! I am getting 2 days on stock rom with this setup. With about 20% of the time surfing the net via HSDPA or 3g.
[Galaxy S II General] ohyeahar:
I'd have to agree. Task killers are generally a bad idea.

Sure, there are poorly coded apps that stay in memory and use up CPU cycles. Those are apps that needs to be closed via task killers. But is that really the solution?

What you should do is NOT use such apps. If you do continue to use those apps, you're just supporting the developer for his poor coding. In that case, you're on your own.

OP: Try not to get too antagonistic. This is after all, a discussion forum.

Here's an analogy just for fun....

General consensus: You don't need a case for your phone.

Argument: You do need a case for your phone because SOME phones have antennae issues and a case will alleviate those issues.

Weird solution: Buy those phones wtih antennae issues and then also buy a case.

Real solution: Don't buy those phones with antennae issues! (wink wink)
[Galaxy S II General] beWater:
+1 to this, task manager was a good idea in the old days (eclair & froyo), but gingerbread does a great job in memory management, there is no need for "task management kill" everytime you exit. Although I am a bit conservative on "frequently killing apps in gingerbread will actually decrease your battery life", but certainly, doing so will not improve it.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Using the 'Clear Memory' feature in Task Manager will stop and kill everything. Some widgets, apps will stop work. So that feature is extremely kiddish imo.

But using ATK won't do it as it has an Ignore list, if its set up properly then its the best.

Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
I'll only comment on the points I can share my opinion with:

4. didn't change a damn thing for me regarding the battery, it just made switching betweens 3g and H slower.

5. will try that, but won't it turn wifi off when the screen is off thus disabling any sync via wifi when screen is off?

6. common sense not to leave everything on all the time

7. auto brightness does a good job for me, a mate uses lowest brightness and has no advantages besides having problems reading from the screen sometimes

8. just use it to end apps/games that won't stop after using them like KiesAir

10. true

11. doesn't make a difference

12. sure but whoever needs (e.g. for work) push (like me) will have to skip that

13. see 12.

juice defender is my last option to squeeze more time out of my phone. still with my general usage I get around 36h our of one charge, mostly between 24h and 48h depending on how much I use it AND how good the reception is (better reception -> more battery life)

Based on the fact that Apple seems to spend about double on marketing their phones as they do actually developing them, I would say this was most likely their intention.

"Mr. Jobs, the LTE chip sets are very new, and since you refuse to hire a single Communications Engineer, porting iOS will take us a long time."

"That's ok, the last iPhone was called '3Gs' - if we just call this one '4' those idiots won't know the difference"

I actually did switch from an iphone because it is bought by people of low intellect (some money, yes, but mostly low intellect). I'm in the financial industry, no tech background but the retarded soccer moms who bought iphones and then would argue with me about features just made it unbearable. I actually jail broke my iphone 4 & unlocked it too (international travel). So I did try to extract the best out of the platform with cydia apps unlike most of the typical iphone users out there... But these uneducated iphone owners just made me not want to be a part of that group.

I'm sorry if I sound elitist and snobbish but the visceral reaction these idiots evinced in me was too much. The truth is, the iphone is meant for paris hilton not madam curie... (I'm neither, mostly because I'm a man but I would rather meet the latter). Its elegant but I don't want to be in the same bucket as the typical iphone owner.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanu_blr:
I want to root my defy stock 2.2 (india), since my battery is just 2 days with nill to moderate use.

I hv read setvsel threads on this forum, who on stock fw, hv got 4 days (with moderate use) backup, since my use on cell is very low, dont see wats eating the battery. Yes i used battery monitor widget, didnt see anything eating my battery :( other than standy and cell idle, which i think is normal. tried the airplane trick too, no change.

So i am thinking of rooting using superoneclick. Before i do that, have few clarification :

a. i hv d/led superoneclick ver 1.9.5, which has both root and unroot tab.

b. let say for some reason i want to unroot, will the unroot tab clear all the root related files ?. I read here, some files like busybox are not removed. And there is no option to uninstall either :( So people who hv tried unrooting, have they got all the files related to su deleted ? if not how to delete thos ?.

c. if leaving the busybox as is after unrooting, will it be a cause of any security concern ?.

c. have read the setvsel thread, each phone is different, so i hv to find some sweetspot where i dont see any freez/reboots for a day or 2.

assuming that i use below settings (I dont want to overclock) and my cell is stable.

If in case i hd set at boot option, and my cell wount boot(saw some1 with this issue), how do i get back ? flash stock rom again or factory-reset will do the trick ?

Within few minutes, cell rebooted. So i tried moving 5 steps up for all 3 frequencies. Then i ran stability test, here there are 3 tests for each frequency.

Since am aming for better battery life, shd i run only for 300 freq ?. How long shd i run this test ? i tried with 15 and 30 mins, in both cases cell freezed! hd to pull battery to boot. shd i try each freq 1 by 1 and stress test it ?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I DL'd superoneclick and have just spent the last 5 hours cleaning my machine. I got into this because I (perhaps anively) thought XDA users would have screamed about a root program delivering viruses and rewriting system files.

Chrome refused to download it & my AV software recognised it as an Android Exploit - I checked online and found it was designed to change root and I thought, OK, that's WHY I am downloading it. So stupidly, I disabled my AV software and DL'd it then tried to run it. It infected every browser, Chrome and Firefox and even my disabled IE.

I ran MS Security Essentials and cleaned quite a few things, I ran superantispyware and got some as well. But Chrome and Firefox kept starting with QVO6 and I had a Desk365 and a News.net toolbar that just wouldn't quit. I am not a novice. I cleared cache and Temp Internet file, I removed the changes in Chrome and firefox. I cleaned my system with COMODO and then I ran regedits on everything I had found and deleted them as well.

I then booted to my Avira CD and ran that, clearing out 4 instances of a trojan that wasn't there a couple of weeks back when I last ran it.
