I don't think a picture will do it any justice. It is one of those things you are really going to want to see and touch in person to decide if you like it or not. I like mine, lint magnet and all because it makes me feel my Photon its safe and for that I am willing to live with the trade off of some lint and a little extra bulk. Of course every time I take off the case to clean it I remember just how sexy a naked Photon is and I consider slapping on an invisashield screen protector and going naked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] droidevo1:
I just received my otter box defender in the mail today. I bought mine at amazon for $27 + $5 S&H. The case appears to be genuinely an otter box. The box it came in was damaged and opened, but the case itself is fine. My guess is that the amazon ones are cheaper because they are in damaged boxes.

As far as I'm concerned though I'll take the damaged packaging for the $20 savings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IUH1991:
Bought the Defender last month and was enamored by the fact that i can throw, kick, slam the phone anywhere and it wouldn't get damaged. The only problem was (and this was a big one) that the case is so f***ing huge for regular use! I got fed up of that and exchanged the case for the commuter. SOOO much better for everyday, common hazards.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Bugger, just ordered the Defender, does it really add so much bulk?

Hey guys, im looking to bay a Samsung Focus that is locked in at&t but i am thinking to unlock i mean to by the unlock code or somthing similar! so if i unlock it, will i have any problems to use it here i Europe/Norway ?

Sorry if i opend the thred, but i could not finde a clear answer!

thank u
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Hi, I'm currently using a Focus across Europe, successfully.

Mine was bought in US and initially SIM locked to AT&T. Paid for unlock and now is SIM unlocked (flashing, restoring, downgrading, upgrading etc. firmware doesn't affect SIM lock).

So yes, you can buy it, unlock it (fastgsm or ebay) and use with no issues across the world, actually, not only Europe.
[Focus General] suua:
thanks for the replay and for the answer buddy =)
[Focus General] andreiuc:
Yes, I got it from eBay.

However, I specifically chose one which buyer said specifically it works for any carrier in the world ("world-wide phone").

It's working beautifully, I am very pleased about it.

Some tip about buying from eBay, in case you aren't used to it(like I was):

Make sure you read carefully the buyer description.

For example, being in hurry, while I did make sure about other things, I didn't notice that it didn't include a micro-USB data cable. It's my fault, the buyer actually didn't mention about it.

Also, the charger was not the original one(Samsung Traveler). The buyer just mentioned 'charger'.

These are really not important at all as I got an original micro-USB for like 10$.

I was more interested about phone being in good shape and that it works in my country.

But since you have to choose it might help you.

Good luck!

Anyone notice sprints new coverage maps?

Seems better than verizon lol
[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
Why does that make you laugh?
[EVO 4G General] jiggy79:
Yeah why are you laughing lol
[EVO 4G General] jonathan413:
looks better than verizon but not by much..since when did it change..last time i looked they barely had coverage
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Coverage maps are estimations which really have no basis in reality.

Easily manipulated (like a few years ago with Verizon vs At&t where the maps used were not even close to accurate).
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
Talking about the Sprint.com/Coverage map? Because the Voice section doesn't differentiate between roaming and not.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah, it seems like Sprint finally figured out that the best way to sell their service is to lie like everyone else has been for years.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
it only differentiates between roaming when zoomed in
[EVO 4G General] jonathan413:
yeah thats what i figured when I noticed I didnt see any roaming..every little thing sprint does now gets put under the microscope
[EVO 4G General] cev2387:
This is actually an interesting topic because over the weekend I got a call from Sprint saying I live in a 100% roaming area and if my roaming usage doesn't get under 80%, they are force closing my account and waive ETF. The agent had me pull up their coverage map and come to find out I live 25 miles outside of sprints coverage network. I've only been with them going on three months now. And the store that I started my service at in my home town is getting "reported" for sale to an "out of network coverage customer". I just left the faschist nazi regime of AT&T to be able to actually afford to have a smart phone that I can actually use without being charged for going over my data limit. Now I'm being kicked from the company that has the perfect plan for my needs and go back to AT&T and go to the 2G limit cap data plan and pay $30 more a month then I am paying now as well. Verizon would cost me $55 more a month then what I pay now and I'm in roaming for them too. I'm basically stuck with AT&T now. And they dint have a single phone I would want either.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
What about tmobile also if u get a airrave u could plug it in n u wouldn't be roaming at your house
[EVO 4G General] alero:
I'm in the same boat, except I recently moved two miles outside the coverage area. They wouldn't do anything for me, including an airave. So, when at home, the old lady and I turn roaming off. We bought an Obi110 and set it up through google voice. So both our cell phone calls ring our VOIP phone, and texts come to our cells through our wifi.
[EVO 4G General] UCChemE05:
When you go shopping in a coverage area, leave your phone in the car and stream high bitrate music to get your in network usage over 20% ;)
[EVO 4G General] stewdog1:
Dude, that sucks.
[EVO 4G General] Exiled44:
What company doesn't lie? You can tell just by watching the commercials. Everyone company says their better than their competitors, that's just the way it is.
[EVO 4G General] sog1971:
Problem is the roaming agreements. After "buying up" all the mom and pop local companies over the years and Alltel, Verizon pretty much has 100% coverage on their own, thus do not have to rely on mutually beneficial roaming agreements with Sprint. Hence starting in 2011, it equates to 69 cents a minute charged back to Sprint from Verizon for every minute I roam (bend over sprint...Thanks, your friends @ Verizon.)

Note --- this is not made up, it is information shared with me from management at Sprint after I got "the letter" to where Sprint was demanding an end to our 12 year relationship....One of which I had been very happy with (and hold no ill will towards them -- I actually think Verizon is the evil one here.)

Just 2 bad I live more than 1 mile away from the interstate and Sprint has no incentive to install towers in lesser populated areas.
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
txt's use the 2g radio.. you don't need 3g or a wifi or 4g to get text messages.

txts arent going to raise your data usage in roaming. I don't think text's even count towards anything roaming since its just a few bytes of data it is so insignificant.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I'm really sick of that response, with all due respect.

That is not an excuse to do something.

Verizon's voice network may cover a good portion of the country but their 3g doesn't cover as much as that map they used against At&t said.

Verizon roams on Cricket, Virgin, Sprint, Boost, and Metro towers as well.

Huh? Texts do not use any data or any data radio.

Texts are over the cdma radio with voice.

You can turn data off and text.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
wtf verizon roams?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Really...Duh?
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Thought the same thing
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
They dont roam. Everybody roams on them

Provide links that say they do.

Everything I read shows the contrary
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yes they do.

All CDMA networks roam on each other.

All.

The Verizon map you see plastered all over the place includes roaming on other networks.

Go look on their website in the fine print if you don't believe.

Verizon has done a good job of convincing people they are so superior. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] :
i have received them before just not mms.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah, MMS uses data to download the image/video.

SMS does NOT use data at all.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
Um where's this documented
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You're kidding right?

That's the Verizon website bud.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Also if u zoom in like near tx there is VZW roaming its in brown
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Just one example of many.

Verizon's network really isn't as "significantly better" as they have convinced people.
[EVO 4G General] motenak:
Verizon DOES roam! If you want proof borrow any Verizon phone from someone and dial *228, listen to message and select option #2. Option #2 is to update the PRL (Preferred Roaming List) and the message you hear says something about updating your roaming capabilities.
[EVO 4G General] churro7:
well what do ya know there are some roaming areas.

They must roam on sprint
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Like I said, all cdma networks.

Metro, Sprint, Cricket etc.
[EVO 4G General] alero:
What I meant was that my texts also come through Google Voice on my computer, which I then receive on my phone. It's not about using data while roaming - it's about roaming that much period. It would be about half the day every day, which they said would get us booted. Whether I believe them or not I don't know....
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
I recently traded my HTC Evo due to i hate texting on it. i miss using the keyboard from my old phones. so me and this girl traded phones. i played with here Evo Shift before we traded and it worked fine. the sprint employee reset the phones to switch them. used a dummy phone in the process. once my number was programed into the phone it stopped receiving signal. it gets signal here and there last like 1 min. then goes away for hours.

i talked to a sprint tech support they had me reset the phone by using ##786# and hard factory reset. still didnt work. i tried to use a RUU program but wouldn't read the bootloader.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madplaya1:
Do you have a X over the signal bars?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
yes i do have a X over the signal bars. it randomly jumps to 3g then roam then back to the X for hours on end. but the other phones on the account are all at max signal. i can still use Wifi.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
Try updating profile. Probably won't work though as I think you'd still get some kind of signal.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Call up Sprint have them reset your data, and profile. Then after they do that update your PRL. Make sure when you call them it's on a different phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
i did that. thats where i got the ##786# from. i data reset. they reset it a few ways. it just wont link to the towers. i tried updating profile, prl, firmware. nothing worked.

also.....I HAVE NO SIGNAL. i couldnt call them from my phone even if i tried lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Noticed in the first post you said you tried to RUU through bootloader. Have you tryed to RUU from the PC? Try to RUU using the cable method. Hook up to the PC, HTC Sync, and run the RUU from the desktop. See if that solves the issue. If after you've RUU'd back to stock the issue persits. Then something else is wrong, maybe a hardware issue.

[HTC Sensation] justice26:
So did it work
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
- Backup everything using CWM and Titanium Backup.

- Install the RUU to get back to Stock Recovery. (You'll loose all settings/apps/SMS/etc..)

- Install your OTA update.

- Restore everything using Titanium Backup.

This should work for any of you who has CWM Recovery. If you already have Stock Recovery, then you're ready to go. You don't need to flash a new rom by the RUU.

It's not the root that is causing the problem, it is the CWM Recovery.

Keep in mind, flashing a RUU may brick your device, I take no responsibilities of any damage that may be caused to your device :)

I just discovered a new method, tried it and it worked.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Gingerbread OTA - Android 2.3.4 - SW# 4.06.605.2 - Radio 2.15.10.07.07

This is from the original RUU with the stock recovery removed and replaced with Clockwork recovery, hboot removed as most people are already on 0.92, and boot.img fixed to not dissable adb. The radio is not included, and should be downloaded from below and flashed seperatly. Everything else is untouched.

This is NOT ROOTED but *rootable only if you are s-off. Unrevoked will not work to get you root if you flash this wile s-on, but as long as your already s-off you can flash this and then flash the included su binary to achieve root again.

Both the rom and radio are PB31IMG.zip's, the su should be flashed from recovery.

Always remember to make a nandroid first. Remember if you dont already have s-off and you flash this you will loose root for an undetermined period of time or mabey forever. Flash at your own risk.

I've used the X10 and now i'm using the Arc for two months now.

So far, there's no crack or chip. That's maybe because I use a silicone case.

The screen on the Arc is noticeably larger and I feel that the arc has a better grip than the X10. I also think that the arc fits much better in my jeans. Other than that, the software and hardware are mostly the same with the arc have slightly better processor/ram.
