[Nexus S Accessories] hugo87:
Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
^That's good to know.

Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?
[Nexus S Accessories] hoponpop:
you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s

they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer
[Nexus S Accessories] Roland27:
I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.
[Nexus S Accessories] saryu:
incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).

The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?
[Nexus S Accessories] hoponpop:
that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.
[Nexus S Accessories] eramsey:
I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.

Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.

I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.

hopefully this is helpful.

edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.

The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I

love

the soft touch finish.
[Nexus S Accessories] hoponpop:
I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.

I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.
[Nexus S Accessories] nmoreman:
I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.

Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are

very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).

I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.

The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.

The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just

waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off

that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.

Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20

shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you

receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Hey XDA -

So this will be my first upgrade from using Sprint's HTC TP2 for the past year - it was a great phone and will continue to use it as a wifi router thanks to the nice ROM makers over at PPCgeeks. I am going to miss the stylus :(

Now my questions :

1. I've never used an android OS - is there a recommended "finger-friendly" Remote Desktop Application that will allow me to access my home pc laptop (windows xp pro)? - I am trying to launch a review course software from my mobile phone that requires Java Runtime Environment for Windows (which is installed on my laptop).

I'm a medical student trying to use my paid subscription to usmleworld.com board review questions. It's such a hassle to be always tied down to a laptop. So I am hoping I will be able to have better results on a faster phone and larger display as compared to my HTC-TP2 which was really choppy when trying to remote-desktop.

2. My contacts on my TP2 is via Windows Mobile 6.5OS and saved through "PIM Backup" - Is there a way I can transfer my contacts from this application to the Android OS?

3. I don't have an HDMI TV or HDMI ready Monitor. I have an external LCD VGA monitor. Was there anything I could connect to that with that so that I can get the HD Station to work?

* At this point, I am not sure if I am going to unlock/root anything as this is my first time using the OS. It took me many months to actually flash my TP2 and try a few ROMs but I love the features - mainly the wifi router options.

4. I've heard stories of android malware being pumped out - How can I prevent any malicious software from being installed on this phone? Is there an official market website apart from accessing the phone itself? Do you use antivirus/malware software for this device?

(yes ive posted this elsewhere befor some one points that out but need answers quick and didnt know which thread would be better to post in)
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
First thing I'd do would be to go into your recovery and wipe data/cache, then try booting again. If that doesn't fix it, do a factory reset and try booting again.

If that's a no-go, reboot to recovery and try flashing again mate. Won't hurt anything. Probably just a bad flash. Try with another USB cable if you can, and in a port directly off the motherboard (not a front case port) if you are flashing from the computer. Disregard if you are flashing from SD. :)

Good luck!

PS: You posted in the right place, good job!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJHunterx:
Over the past week I have been trying to jump over to CM7 and keep having the same problems with my sd card. I flashed cwm4 for CM7 before flashing CM7 and that goes fine. CM7 installs fine.

I get a damaged/unrecognized format on my SD card while in CM7...so I erase/format it in CM7 (I have it backed up), then load all the stuff back to it. The main problem is when I want to flash other things while on CM7. I get to recovery via shutdown menu and cwm refuses to mount my sd card. I've tryed my 8gig and 32gig sd cards. I've tried battery pulls and taking out/putting the card back in.

Right now I'm back on ComRom and my sd card has never had a problem in cwm or on the rom itself.

Anyone have a solution or suggestion?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Hmmm that's tricky...are you using the 7/17 build or the nightly? I'm on the 7/17 build and have never had sd card issues
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstarr3:
I've run into similar problems with both cm7 and miui. See my post damaged/blank sd card several posts down. Someone suggested that cm7.1-pre had fixed the problem for him, but I haven't been able to get more about that. I've gone back to ed05 until a stable build of cm7 comes out. It's ugly to look at touch wiz and it's a little slower, but it's nice for everything just to work.

Been using cognition custom rom but now it does not seem to auto wipe. Due to battery issues, I'd like to wipe and then reinstall the rom, and then restore using titanium backup thats located on the sd card to get all my apps and settings back. I need to leave the ext sd card alone. Which option on Clockwork recovery gives me this option?

If I do a factory reset and davlik cache clear does that still leave my sd card alone?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] phunkycow:
Factory reset, dalvik cache, format system (in mounts section) just to be sure. Then you can flash the rom. Your external sdcard remains intact (as well as most of your internal storage - only system partitions get wiped). :)

hello, i tried to connect via vpn to my fritzbox 7170 as described here www.deluxe-stylez.de/2010/12/29/howto-android-vpnc-to-fritzbox but it's not working. i also tried the vpnc widget from markt.

both methods show a vpn connection, also my fritzbox shows this connection. but it is not used by the browser and i can't reach the fritz admin site.

it is not used because:

the internet is not slowing down (this should happen because of my slow upload speed at home)

the ip address from my fritzbox is not reachable!

what could this be? has anyone a functioning vpn connection with a fritzbox?:confused:

Hi All,

I searched and searched, but can't figure out how to identify the bootloader. I bought this gtab off of craigslist and it has already been rooted to VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1

I want to install VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1, but I before I do I want to be sure I'm on the right bootloader. Any Idea how to Identify the bootloader after the Gtablet has already been rooted?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Go to Settings, About Tablet & look at Tap UI Version. If it starts with 1.1, you're on 1.1 the bootloader (b/l). If it starts with 1.2, you're on the 1.2 b/l.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjRashonal:
Thanks for the response! I tried that before, but I dont seem to have a Tap UI Version because I am presently rooted and have the VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 installed. It gives me a build number, kernal version and Model number
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
1VegaTab 1.0.0B5.1 is a b/l 1.1 branch

Thanks! I was searchin around for which branch! You definitely saved me a bunch of greif!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Google "Gtablet for dummies", it's hte only place you'll need ot look for just about anything. under start here, there is a drop down, wiht a "rom" entry, click on that and there is a convenient table that illustrates what roms are available and on what bootloaders.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rommul:
I second this.

The tutorials on that site are second to none.

You will probably end up nvflashing back to a stock version anyway.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukaza:
"I second this.

Ditto that, before you try to flash any other ROM. do a clean flash

Anyone else have it die after the last update? It now says my device is not supported on the web android market and it doesn't run anymore.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] romracer:
This is a modified CWM-based recovery for the Motorola Atrix 4G. It is based on my own custom code forked from the CyanogenMod team's recovery. The major changes I have made include full support for dual SD cards, support for webtop partitions (SD card and internal) and changes to Nandroid backup/restore for this phone's additional partitions.

Some highlights include:

Dual SD card support

ADB support

USB Mass Storage support

Nandroid additions/changes

ext3/4 formatting

Unified kernel for international users

Probably others

This recovery is only for UNLOCKED devices. It is intended to be flashed directly to the recovery partition. Additionally, I have an AT&T phone so that is the kernel I am using. I doubt the memory issue would matter in recovery mode but testing from UNLOCKED international users would be appreciated. UPDATE: Initial indications are it works fine on UNLOCKED international phones. Versions for different tegraparts have also been compiled. UPDATE 2: Unified kernel patch has been applied. Choose whatever color you prefer regardless of phone version!

UNLOCKED users can flash this recovery using:

moto-fastboot devices

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img

Example from my phone:

$ moto-fastboot devices
TA20700KXH fastboot

$ moto-fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.741s]

$ moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4780 KB)... OKAY [ 0.490s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.544s]

Original ROM Manager installable zip thanks to SolidHelix. You must still be UNLOCKED to use them.

Source is here.

A few notes:

The capacitive buttons can be used to navigate as well. Back is back, search is select. Menu and home are up and down.

The "osh" partition is webtop. It is the largest by far and will take some time to backup. Nandroid is not frozen!

The "sd-ext" partition is an ext3/4 partition on your external SD card. Veterans will know this as apps2sd and data2sd from other phones. The only use I'm aware of on our phone currently is Sogarth's webtop2sd.

were you using Tenfar's old version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
I had at one-point tried using the old version... after trying to flash the new version and having the problem. I flashed the new version I believe right after unlocking (first time flashing the CWM) It had never worked on my phone unless I used the ROM Manager version.

So, backup and restore is COMPLETELY working on this recovery?

Hmm not sure I've experienced that. Do you have install-recovery.sh in /system/etc? Maybe it's conflicting
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
Very interested in this as well. The big problem (only problem iirc) with Tenfar's is its inability to properly backup and restore the PDS partition.

If this release gives us all of the features of the official CWM, I will be ecstatic!!!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] romracer:
It should be from my tests, but you should also test it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
I have several backups of my PDS partition. I am very busy tonight, but was planning on spending tomorrow re-building my laptop. So while I'm doing that I'll do a backup, wipe, and restore to see what happens and report back.

DK
[Atrix 4G Android Development] romracer:
PDS is definitely backed up. It's not restored by default, just as a wimax partition is not on those devices that have them. It is available under Advanced Restore but you should help test it and have a separate backup just in case.

Backup early and backup often.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
The only install-recovery.sh I had was in the /etc not in the /system/etc

I don't know if there is something missing that CWM is dependant on or what. But like I said if I use the one from ROM manager which is 4.0.1.4 I can boot into recover with the plugged in via AC. :confused:
