I bougt the commuter last year. At first I used it for everyday use but I didn't think it was really necessary.

Nowadays I only use while I'm skiing in the mountains etc..with other words, for activities that could break my phone..
[Desire HD Accessories] lehane87:
Im a defender user. but mine was bought to protect my phone in work.

When outside of work, i take it off and use phone normally.

Working in motortrade in 2000sqft workshop. Phone has been really put through its paces in the defender. dropped out of my pocket once while i was sat in car raised in air on lift! :D

Phone is still A ok. not a mark on it! of course, even if i wanted to..

the defender case is just to dirty to use daily now. so left with my tools for my arrival to work.

other than it being a little bulky.

Only other thing i find with it, is that sometimes pulling the notification bar down can be a bit tricky while in the defender case :p
[Desire HD Accessories] Madridista7:
I have both the Commuter and the Defender. Bought the second because the first one got a pretty huge crack. The Defender is bulky, but guarantees the best protection out there. The Commuter is much more discrete and offers less protection than the Defender. The Commuter has the polycarbonate layer on the outside so it's much more likely that it will slip on certain surfaces, with the Defender you don't don't have this problem. It's a matter of taste, if you don't want to carry a brick on you buy the Commuter, or if you want extra protection and don't mind carrying a brick with you go with the Defender.
[Desire HD Accessories] Der Beamte:
I use the Commuter everyday and never had a better protection for my phone! :good:

Hello, I use defender since 2 years now, just one problem : the polycarbonate screen is very striped and it's very difficult to use my DHD when the sun shines ...

I'm currently waiting for my commuter case that I ordered on Amazon cause I'm sick of silicon cases
[Desire HD Accessories] matthew33:
You will be very happy with it....dropped my phone quite a few times now, only from maximum of 3-5ft onto concrete...whether it's landed face down, rear side down, slid across concrete etc....the case and screen protector have stopped ANY marks or scratches or even a spec on dust from appearing on the phone when taken out of the case.

Otterbox truly ROCKS!!:good::good::highfive::highfive:

I had a defender for almost as long as I've had the phone, also got one for my wife. The major issue I had was the clip case, the clip always managed to snap off on me. But true to their warranty, they replaced it for me. Alas, I no longer have the case, as my wife has taken it from me. As rugged as they are from drops and such, they are not much match for a determined husky hybrid puppy. The only other problem I had was the protective screen cover got scratched from something in my pocket and was a bit of an annoyance.
[Desire HD Accessories] Piemonkey:
I'm on my second Commuter. I have to say, these things don't last too long. The little thin strips of plastic between the ports and the edge tend to break of really easily, especially the one by the power button. I've also got the same cracks stemming from the top corners of the phone in this new case. Its actually lasted a lot less longer than the original, which I only replaced because it developed those exact same issues. I'm almost considering just going caseless.

Nillkin case?

Has anyone used this nillkin case with kickstand?is it any good?any feed back would be appreciated.
[Desire HD Accessories] TheMisterD:
Looks neat, but it doesn't look like it would offer much in the way of protection. Without that rubber inside of the otterbox my phone would have been pieces a long time ago. I wouldn't mind a kickstand though.
[Desire HD Accessories] rdub504:
That's what i liked about it. you would think after all this time you would hae at least one option with a stand and the protection of a otterbox or seidio. this may be the last one you see due to the age of the phone.would be cool if you could fit a tpu underneath it ,that would help.
[Desire HD Accessories] WingZer0n:
Which site do u see this case?
[Desire HD Accessories] rdub504:
It's listed on ebay.
[Desire HD Accessories] hotrod60:
I've been rocking the defender for about 9 months now. The bad , it collects dog hair like nobodies business, the sharp plastic is hell on your ear, and the screen protector casts a reflective film over the screen. The good? I threw it down from 6 feet onto rough concrete. The case isn't at all damaged and the phone looks brand new. So it does its job.

The avaible phones for these networks are not made for internet usage but can be used as Modems to connect to your laptop and some even BT tether to other Smartphones.

Whenever i connect my phone with USB,the application does not read my phone,so it stays ''Not connected''.

I also tried different usb ports,but still no change.

I also tried Enabling and Disabling ''Enable faster data option'' .

I also restarted my pc ,and the application said ''Connected'' , but not till I ran ''HSPL 3'' ,to unlock it for hacking.It said ''Not connected again'' and it gave me a USB connection failed.

Im running windows 7 32 bit with all updates.I also tried disabling the Antivirus.

Oh,and when i enable ''Enable faster data'' in my phone,device manager shows ''Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter'' under ''Network Adapters''.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Having a bit of trouble with my tab. It's taken to turning itself off. Usually in the middle of me performing a task. It's happened on while using Facebook, Instant messaging, Picture editing, and browsing the web. (the only trend I've managed to spot is that it only seems to happen while the tab is in use)

Battery is fine, 74%. No warning, just all of a sudden its off.

Its a UK Galaxy Tab, it was running "Overcome_v2.0.0_RC1_Full" as this problem seemed to be persistent I decided to restock and flash to 001003-Overcome_v3.0.1_JUPITER_Wipe. Hoped that would sort the problem, but it's happened twice since yesterday.

Doesnit seem to be the usual shutdown, no animation, no sound, no vibrate. It just dies.

I've tried tapping around to power button and on it (wondering there was some kind of problem with the button but it seems fine)

Has anyone had the same problem? Or better yet a solution?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
It's a battery problem. As in physical battery problem. I just had it replaced by Samsung yesterday. Exact same symptoms.

Sent from my Overcome-Powered Tab!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Ahh, not what I was hoping to hear. So the only course is to contact samsung? Is it an expensive thing to have fixed?

This will require restocking before sending it off to them?

The strange thing is that I've never experienced say... putting the tab to sleep, or walking away and leaving it, and having the same issue. It only ever seems to happen while in use.

Thanks for your help mate.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Www.tvc-mall.com sells a lot of tab parts, and replacing the battery is fairly easy, but if you are under a warranty, better to let them do it.

I'm thinking you don't have to revert to stock, because the rom didn't cause the battery - it's a known defect. But it only takes 10 minutes to go to stock.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
It'll just get worst. I tested it thoroughly. Went back to froyo, Overcome 1.x (Froyo-based), stock gingerbread, etc. just to rule out software. It was still there.

Well, to be honest, i had the same fear too. Though my unit is still under warranty, and officially, in MY, the warranty for the battery is for six months only according to their website. But when I went to the service center, the replaced it, no questions asked. And judging by their behaviour, seems like it's a known issue.

I just did my usual backups, flashed back to a stock rom, passed it to them, and within an hour, it's back in my hands. Not one cent spent.

Well, if you're sending back to the official service channels, best to get back to stock. Like insurance companies, they'll try to find any excuse to invalidate warranty if they can, so let's not give them any reason to do so.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Ok I've been reading up a bit - before the last resort of having to send my tab back to Samsung- is there any chance re-calibrating the battery could work?

The trouble could be inaccurate measurement of the battery. Tab just dropped from 60% to 1% (pop up warning) in about 20 minutes. I rebooted the tab, and the battery now shows 34%

I do have a terrible habit of not letting my tab fully discharge, before recharging. Infact my tab spends most of it's time plugged into the mains.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikrame:
I dont think its a battery problem. I have same problem with Overcome Jupiter no wipe edition. Before that(overcme) I was using gingerbread from official italain firmware and there was no problem at all. but now I am having problem. It get stuck while performing task and restart (sometime remains off and I have to restart) . its like everyday now. and yesterday it was off when it was not doing anything. this might create problem for me.

dont know what to do. Overcome Jupiter is great Rom so i dont want to switch to other so may be there might be some solutions.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepittbull:
Well, as I've said, mine had the exact same symptoms, which includes random shut-downs, battery suddenly dropping down to low percentages.

So, you can either do these few things which I've already done:

1) Recalibrate your battery, if it still persists after this, then

2) Try going to a stock ROM and see. In my case, I've tested if over the span of one week with the following (Stock Gingerbread, the rock-solid Overcome 1.6.4 (Froyo-based), with battery calibration... with minimal apps.

In my case, it still persisted - thus eliminating software issues. So definitely a battery problem. As I said, I just flashed the stock JPE (since I'm in Malaysia) and just went to the Samsung Service Center. A quick description of the problem... and the staff said they'll change the battery, no questions asked.

@Bikrame... issues with a lithium battery can crop up all of a sudden, especially when it's nearing End Of Life. In theory, a good quality battery should last a few thousand charge cycles, or at least a year depending on usage. However, there's been quite a few reports about the quality of the Tab's battery before hand, so it's up to you. If you think it's a Jupiter/Overcome problem... hey, I leave it to you to decide for yourself.

Now I'm rocking a new battery, 7 months after I bought my Tab, so I'm not complaining, with an 8 hour heavy/continuous usage... on my first charge cycle and now about 30% after a 14-hour mixed usage run on my second charge.

Moral of the story: it's your own call. If you'd like to think it's not a battery issue... ;-)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodled24:
Well in my case the issue was there a couple of days before installing Jupiter.

I knew I was upgrading so went on a bit of an app install spree, noticed a massive decline in battery use. The random reboots started. Then I upgraded.

Thing is, the battery monitor in the taskbar has always been a bit dodgy... reporting higher than it is. Then a sudden drop. I'm going to recalibrate the battery and see how I get on from there.

Nearest samsung center to me is miles away, and in the UK I cant see them just switching the battery out. This kind of thing usually takes 2 weeks - a month.

thanks for the help though guys

This is probably just me but I'm starting to think we are over complicating the ROM installation process by having different versions of recovery and flashing. We already have KIES and odin, do we need different recovery installations too?, tegrak, CMR, chainfires etc? We are now seeing ROMS that can only be flashed with one type which cant be good as its causing fragmentation of development. I may also have contributed to two people who have bricked their phones recently.

Why on earth are we doing this?, wouldnt it be much better to use one type of recovery, that way anyone can flash any ROM with it without having to change root / kernels etc.

I am sure each different version has its own advantages but are these really worth the fragmentation it is causing, be nice if devs all decided to get together and come up with a one fits all CWR which is then used on all ROMS and all Phones.

I can dream cant I, feel free to put me straight on this if I am missing something here.
[Galaxy S II General] motorsportgod:
couldn't agree more. i rooted my phone the other day with a kernel change, but now i want to isntall a rom but cant even start to work out the way to get cwm on to flash a rom!!! annoyinh to say the least.... the x10 and sgs1 i had were a breeze
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
But everyone is using CWM anyway...

And the .zip is a standard way to flash a ROM. So in theory, you can use any recovery to flash your zip :)

So there's no need to come up with some one-size-fits-all, as the zip files used meet a standard :)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Freedom to choose is a great thing. I like having options.
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
I am currently using cognition ROM, are you suggesting I can download any ROM, say Villain and copy to my SD and install without doing anything else?, I dont think that is the case, it mentions a different root, as does extreme. Cog and mui have no mention of changing root.
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
It is yes, however you seem to have misunderstood the thread, having different methods being forced up you by different cooks is not choice, choice would be that all methods were compatible and interchangeable, they are not apparently. Some require different roots / kernels.

EDIT. not suggesting anything is really being forced on us, I appreciate all dev work, just hoping for a bit more conformity of installation process.
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
You copy it to internal SD, pull your head out of your ass, turn phone off, turn phone on holding menu and volume up and choose to flash zip from SD card.

Just.

Like.

Every.

Other.

Rom.
[Galaxy S II General] da.trute:
Cognition uses CMR root, Villain uses CF-root, I am pretty sure you cannot flash Villain straight of the top of a non CF rooted phone, or I am wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
See, if you actually had developed the ability to read, you would know that all root is is the su script in the ROM and SuperUser.apk, nothing more.

You would also know root has nothing to do with flashing ROMs, since you can have CWM as recovery without having root.

Now if you're flashing an entirely different ROM you might want to select "wipe data/factory reset" before flashing but you can still flash using CWM.

Turn phone off, turn phone on holding volume up and center button, select wipe data/factory reset, and then flash zip from SD card.
[Galaxy S II General] duuurp:
Wow. He's just asking a question. Why belittle people for asking?

Because I see exactly 3 threads on the same page that could either answer his question or link him to the answer. But people are too lazy to read.

Due to people like this we have a thread here which isn't needed at all since there is conformity to flashing across all ROMs. All because people make claims about things when they don't even know how it works.
