Why do you think Apple's competition uses plastic and fakery in their phones? Because it costs much less to imitate metal than to actually produce solid products from metal. Apple uses metal and top-notch material in their iPhones and iPads. And the only thing Samsung provides to Apple right now is the CPU. The display is LG and the other components are from various other companies.
[Off-topic] westicle:
Fakery?

What the hell are you even trying to say?
[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Just as an example, chrome plated plastic. That is the essence of fakery.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
I posted this on twitter and one person says that it works, so I'll post here, assuming that they are correct. You need to be on deodexed ED05 to use this, and I created it from the stock ED05 package posted by pentafive, which I then deodexed. Flash in CWM recovery. Feel free to use it in any ROM/Theme package you want. This may however disable other modification/theme stuff that you have applied, so user be ware. Enjoy.

I installed this with CWM 4.0.1.4 (I'm currently running Powerwashed 1.1, with your PBJ 8-8-11 ED05 kernel), and the "recovery" option still just reboots the phone. No other mods installed right now. Any ideas on getting into recovery without using the three finger salute? Thanks for all your work, I'm glad you're still working with the ED05 stuff!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spenceuiuc:
Any chance you'll be putting out a version that will also include the accurate battery mod? This one wipes out my accurate battery :(
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mgrimmenator:
possibly this fixed the reboot prob on EF3.6. I wiped cache(not dalvik) flashed this and rebooted, then wiped cache(not dalvik) and reinstalled ef3.6 with all options and extra pkgs. Reboot to recovery is working. Is this fixed or did reflashing ef3.6 overwrite the 08/08 -100 voodoo kernel that I had installed? Is there a way to tell?

reinstall of 08/08 -100uv voodoo kernel afterwards makes not work again. thinking that installing reinstalling EF3.6 rolls back kernel to previous one that has missed calls issue, so I would assume not fix here.

So is there any easy way to flash this on stock/EaglesBlood Rom. Currently I'm on Evil's rom which is based on the 2nd Gingerbread leak and it says I have missing protocol. Is there an AOSP bluetooth that I can just flash over stock ROM for it to work?

If someone could post some Quadrant scores for the G2x with CM7 and EB or something close to stock to see which is faster. If its roughly the same I might as well jump on board CM7 because from my understanding it works on CM7. I am going to flash to either the new EB based on OTA Gingerbread or CM7 anyway and am wondering which is better. If there is no big difference and I can't flash a BT stack I might as well go on CM7.

If someone has some scores for EB ROM based off CM7 that would be great too.

OtterBox Commuter Review​

Just got my OtterBox today, so thought I'd toss out some thoughts for those of you on the fence.

Those of you that aren't familiar with the OtterBox cases check out some info here OtterBox Case Series

Fit: This thing fits so effin nicely! I've tried the Commuter series on a few devices...and this seems to fit more snug than on other phones. The 3D Commuter I had seemed to bunch up ever so slightly. Same with Dell Streak and Evo 4G versions. My Galaxy S phone was pretty snug as well. Seems like they got this one right...cut-out for the mic doesn't look like it'll get blocked over time if the rubber gets loose.

Button overlays: They stick out a bit...which is the norm for Otters. I find them to be pretty handy. The power button especially, as most would agree without a case it can be a bit of a pain to press. Nice that I can stop myself from filing a fingernail on the volume rocker too. Much easier to press than the few other cases I've tried as well.

Dust Flaps: Tight and secure...without being annoying. Easy to open...plenty of room to plug in your cables. Not too stiff. Seems like they'll hold up for awhile. I've had some others that have fallen off way too early in the case life. Noticed the flap over the HDMI / USB ports DOES make the phone wobble a bit when using kickstand. Not a big deal...but might be an issue for some.

Cut-Outs: My only complaint here is with the kickstand cut out...seems a bit too snug. Seems to get caught a tiny bit on the rubber around it as you try to extend the kickstand. Pretty sure it'll straigthen itself out over time tho. Camera cut-out is nuttin special...just a rectangle around the lens and flash. Has cut-outs for the noise cancelling mics on the back as well.

Appearance: LOVE how it doesn't take away from the MoPho's unique look. I've gotten compliments on my phone for how slick it looks with the cut off corners. Yea.it's the little things that count. This isn't a case that hides the look of your phone...it accents the goodness!

General Feel: Not too slick....not too grippy. Slides in and out of pockets just fine. Definitely doesn't feel like I'll drop it. Always a good thing in my book. **Edit: After several hours of use, I've noticed the edges are kinda sharp. The hard plastic, when held in certain spots, can be agitating to your skin with it's sharp plastic.

So...in conclusion: I think this is the case I'll stay with for awhile. I've always enjoyed the protection afforded by OtterBox cases...and this should be no different.

Be aware, unless you rip out the insert on the HDMI dock it won't fit. You will have to remove the case for dock use.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Smoke314:
I just ordered one from amazon after reading this. This would be perfect if they would have made a clip for it like the defender. I tried the defender at RS but it was just too much, this seems to keep the bulk down but still give that otterbox protection.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Does the commuter have a built in screen protector?

Doesn't look like it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
No...comes with a screen protector you can apply tho. Doesn't cover the capacitive buttons tho.

newegg's price is good, but thats about how much theyre going for online. retail stores would rip you off, but online price seems to be around the 22-25 dollar range.

lowest amazon price is 22.93 with free shipping from a 3rd party seller.

I bought mine for about the same price from a 3rd party seller on amazon and received it in 2 days (mainly cuz he was in the same state).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kurupt1:
i got mine for 19.99 free shipping on amazon. love the case, felt so scared holdin it before.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
I managed to get the Commuter to fit the car dock with minimal modification.

1- The rubber plug over the USB ports has to go.

2- Remove the ~1" bar over the USB ports from the outer shell. This part is indicated in green in the photo.

3- Shove the whole thing into the navi dock. Still tight, but it works.

[HTC Sensation] mikea3000:
Hi,

I occassionally kill an app to free up resources via the built in HTC task manager. But, i also noticed that under the manage apps menu, when you click on an app, some of them allow you to press force stop if they are running.

I am confused though, becaue for example i never use slacker or google maps, yet these 2 apps give me the option to force stop. yet, some apps i use frequently do not have the force stop option (its greyed out).

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
Freeze or remove the apps that you don't use, as long as they're not system apps. Check and be sure you know what it does before removing. Task manager apps are not really needed for Android 2.2+. I use the one in the pull down on occasions when I know my phone will be on stand-by for a while so nothing is running in the bg. You should be good. TiB is good for removing and freezing apps, but if you don't wanna pay, you can always disable them via adb.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Don't kill apps to free up memory. Android will relocate the memory for you if necessary.

The only time I use the task manager is as a quick way to restart an app.

[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
I sometimes find myself wanting to kill an app that leaves GPS running, etc...
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
Hi, what is the objection of killing apps via Task Manager in Sensation? I am coming from Windows Mobile and therefore have used to kill apps after closing them.
[HTC Sensation] joedeveloper:
Basically anything Android 2.2+ handles applications. Closes them after the appropriate period of time. Ends all processes related to the app unless it had a background service that runs.

Task killer abruptly shuts down the app and doesn't let the Android OS do the job. Earlier on 1.5/1.6 days it was definitely needed because Android didn't handle it as well.

If you have to force stop or task kill make sure your task killer isn't set to auto kill. Also I do kill apps occasionally via Force Stop when the app isn't working. Usually facebook app does this at times or words with friends.
[HTC Sensation] CrazyCharlie:
It isn't really necessary to "free up resources" in Android. Apps that have been dormant for some time or are unnecessary are closed automatically when memory is required. Often apps that are force closed will simply be reopened by the system, which actually has a negative impact on battery life.
[HTC Sensation] relldroid:
Ok I been using advance task killer since I got android I'm using 2.3.4 I have auto kill on 30mins I use it to save battery, are u guys telling me i don't need it?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SangreSlayer:
Looking for an app that will stream all system audio over airplay (example would be airport express).

An example of why this would be really great would be for Apps like Rdio and Spotify. By having an application agnostic way to stream it would work for numerous apps. I know there are players out in the market that do play to airplay speakers, however the audio has to come from them (IE would not work streaming based applications).

Anyone have any thoughts or know of any apps that could do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
I would think not. I honestly don't know what's so good about airplay. I have bluetooth and my ipod touch can play music to that with no problem!

Anyway, you probably could find a way to do it however, since it isn't cooked into the OS, you probably don't have a hope.

Oh, and Air Play doesn't work with every ipod touch app either, unless you know a very special trick (and perhapse a jailbreak).

I am sorry about this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aibo:
Try Doubletwist.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SangreSlayer:
What i like about airplay is the integration into my home theater system. My home theater has numerous available sources and 3x sets of speakers for different sections of the house. This allows me to play what i want where i want it.

If I could get some sort of bluetooth device that has a range of 150 feet (as i can be on the deck or anywhere in the house) then that works. Any suggestions?

I thinks its a very low likelihood that anything exists now.

The base parts are there: the bluetooth audio redirects system audio, and other apps stream to airplay. So its a matter of combining them.

aibo: I was under the impression that doubletwist will play to airplay only if the audio plays through it. IE music local to the device. If doubletwist would allolw music played from the rdio or spotify app that would be what i want.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatnai:
also very interested in this. looking for an app that can play ALL phone audio over airplay.

yes, bluetooth is great, but has the distinct disadvantage of shorter range than wifi (used by airplay).

anyone know of anything?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenxero:
DLNA

Your stereo probably has DLNA support, so you could try finding an app for that. DLNA is almost identical to AirPlay. I don't know why Apple made their own system instead of just implementing DLNA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kasush:
DLNA poses the same problem. There is no method of pushing *all* sound through DLNA only sound from the DLNA enabled apps. I too would love *some* systemwide method of streaming other than bluetooth, but I have yet to find one. One that does audio and video would be perfect. The HDMI cable works great, but I have broken 1 cable and 1 adapter because the point where the mini HDMI goes into the wire/adapter is the weak point in the event of cable flex.

As to the question of why Apple made a new system it is pretty simple. Apple gets a royalty from every iDock device sold as it is their patent, the same holds true for airplay, they get a royalty for every airplay device sold. They feel they have the market share to force users to purchase these devices. And let's face it, for whatever reason the Android manufacturers missed the boat on this one. If Android had established a standard A/V port on every device we too would have a mutitude of docks to connect our devices to, but it never happened. That is the one and only thing I wish we had from the Apple world.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokia-xxx:
I totally agree. Wouldn't it be nice if we could stream all our audio to wireless (airplay) docks....

MP3's is no problem at all, but Radio, Podcasts or games would even be better
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
It has been quite a while since I messed with a hero. My nephew had to have his replaced thru asurion. I got the phone and rooted it using regawmod tools and it rooted just fine. I then replaced the cw recovery with amon. I flashed the fresh 2.4 and after a while it booted up. It works fine and I can install apps and use the data connection. If I reboot the phone or power it off and then back on, it won't boot. It goes past the splash screen and then plays the boot animation over and over. It will play for a bit, vibrate and then start playing the boot animation over again. It sat like this for over half an hour. I have tried doing a factory reset and formatting the system, boot, and data but it keeps happening. I tried a different rom and the same thing happened. Any ideas how to fix this?

[SOLVED]

I fixed it by booting to recovery and telling it to fix uid.

[Android Apps and Games] Blue6IX:
I am looking for an app recommendation in the way of maps that I can help populate.

The one I am working on right now, for example:

Open Signal Maps - Staircase3, Inc (google market version 1.06)

This app maps out cell towers, and will tell you what towers are around you and which direction the nearest (or strongest signal) comes from.

The more people that use and upload the info, the better the map gets, and it's already got a pretty decent database.

My job requires a lot of travel, as far as 200 miles from the center of my zip code, and so I keep it running while i'm travelling from site to site.

Preference given for apps that allow me to restrict upload to wifi, but I can live without this if it's a worthwhile app.

Recently picking up a gps capable android device has given me the opportunity to help - so here I pose the question - what are good apps that get better with user populated data?

Thanks in advance!

Man I miss it here. So much more love and respect. I'm currently using the thunderbolt and the community there is in shambles. I just may consider giving up 4g to come back. Can't wait for the sgs2.

End rant.
[Fascinate General] pc1990:
Yeah I just switched to the Charge and I feel the same exact way. Even though the "phone" part of the fascinate sucked, the community and the development was unmatched. I always found myself flashing ROMS daily, etc on the fascinate. The Charge is just boring right now! Nothing interesting to do with it on a daily basis.

How's the thunderbolt treating you from a functionality point of view? I heard the the battery life is like 4 hrs, yikes!:eek:
[Fascinate General] Ianxcom:
Yeah battery life if horrible. 4 hours at work with low signal and 6 to 8 anywhere else. There is a few roms and kernels that get me to about 10 to 12 hours though. I started with the incredible so I missed and love sense but this Phone is bulky and heavy. The fascinate was thin and light with an awesome screen.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheMavic:
Greetings! I am new to the DINC2, just downgraded from my Droid X2 (or upgraded, however you want to call it) and love it! The phone (unfortunately) came out of the box with 2.3.3 (I even asked the guy to check before he started setting everything up). Anyways, I came from the DX2 because there isn't much development going on for it at the moment and I honestly needed something smaller. So far I love it!

TL;DR

Holy crap did this thing come with a lot of bloat! I've looked around the forums and seen that GB is unrootable at the moment. Does this phone work at all like the DX2 as far as SBF goes (probably not, since RSD is Motorola)? Anybody have a clue when it's going to be rootable again? Like an ETA? I will gladly donate to whoever is working hard to make this possible!

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
From my less than 24hrs with the inc2 I have figured out there is no eta for root. You cannot sbf like motos. You can not downgrade like the incredible via a ruu. We are waiting for an exploit. It took over 2 months for an exploit to be found for 2.2. So it is a waiting game.
