[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
The iphone 4 case didn't have anything over the speakers or earpiece. And personally I'm glad they didn't put anything over the camera.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Stalefish:
Well i have 2 otterboxes for my iPhones. And both have a cover over the speakers and earpiece. But IM not going to argue with you. Perhaps they redesigned it when you looked. More than happy to take a photo...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
They may have. I bought one the first day they were available. Not doubting you I just know mine had nothing over either. Could've been the result of a rushed product.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:
Put the Otterbox case on a few days ago...very nice.

I always carry my phone in my pocket so not sure if this will be my daily use case or not??? I'm getting used to it...time will tell...but it definitely will be on my motorcycling, atv and hiking adventures.

It is certainly nice having that "it's protected" feeling.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Stalefish:
Its bulky no doubt. Ill never use the belt clip but hey the protection is great. I saw a case made by Overboard for infuse. Claims 100% waterproof without muffling speakers. Didn't grab it yet but sounds nice for boating.

I was just wondering about the lack of people posting md5 for custom roms in the dev section

Love the works of the devs here and the only reason I'm posting this here is to hope devs and mods read this

I've flashed a few roms that had the wrong md5 and trust me it isn't fun. Also it won't help the devs find bugs as people may report issues that are simply due to bad downloads

I've been flashing roms for various phone for over 2 years but find the lack of md5 posting in here a little disturbing compared to other xda forums for android.

Shouldn't this be mandatory by now?
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
+1 I totally agree
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
and for people who dont know what is it

http://dret.net/glossary/md5
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Well if a self-extracting archive is corrupt it just won't extract the tarball do I think you don't need md5 for the firmwares.

For CWM ROM I would agree that if you're anal about these things then an MD5 checksum would be a good way to check the integrity of your download.
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
I disagree m8

its not about being rectal, but files can change due broadband problems, the reason why u c that Cyanogenmod devs r doing this by default. I think it should be mandatory as the op stated
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
Many people download these roms over wireless data which has more chances of packet loss or corrupt info.

Also this won't take too much time for dev just to post this info and it avoids many issues.

I was using custom desire hd roms and prior to that nexus one roms and all those xda forums post them without a second thought.

It's not a big deal to post it but it's a big deal for the people installing these roms who don't want corrupt roms and for devs who want valid feedback.

That's why I don't understand the lack of posting them for these roms
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Yeah, but...

You can't argue with that point. Maybe for zip files it's a good idea, but for firmwares that are self-extracting zips (like Intratech's), it's literally a non-requirement.

Good idea otherwise though.
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
If I'm honest here, speaking as a user, not a mod.

I'd rather it wasnt mandatory, that way its another indicator of whether or not a ROM is worth flashing.

MD5 - No issues....

No MD5 - Who knows what other shortcuts they've taken...... Dont flash.

jm2c
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
One of the reason I didn't bother with the md5 and just created self-extracting archives was because of the unbelievable number of PMs I got asking what it was for and how to use MD5 and that kind of thing which made me go: :eek:!!

Couldn't believe that people on here didn't know what a md5 hash was or how it was used.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I well aware of the issues with transmitting of data via tcp/ip, my job kind of depends on knowing little stupid details like that. Files don't change, the data becomes corrupt. If a self-extracting archive is corrupt it won't extract, you'll get an error.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Yeah, Conan you noob.
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
HUH?? **Scooby Doo face**

Edit.

For the record.

I was solely referring to this regarding cwm zips and not official firmwares.

Also. If I used the word developers in a previous post then that should probablt be replaced with "zip file abusers".

[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Sounds good to me :)
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
I'm simply stating that supplying the MD5 for the ROMs devs make for people is something that is easy to do and should be done to allow a certain amount of quality control

There are plenty of MD5 checking applications on the market people can use if they want to check it

I don't understand why asking DEVs to supply this is such a big deal. Devs are asking users to trust them with custom firmware they make so why shouldn't users be able to validate the ROM they download isn't corrupt prior to flashing via CWM.

Also keep in mind not all users use these roms to flash some may download them to simply extract certain files or apps in order to mod their current phone like me extracting the older android market to replace the new one which I don't like.

I simply think its simple quality control and doesn't take much time for anyone to post.
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
Correct me if I am wrong but if a ROM developer posts a thread here, with there rom and everything in it, without a MD5 sum and has users using it. If those users post that the rom is bad and has a lot of problems, people will avoid it.

If its really good, the ROM will be downloaded plenty of times and the thread will have plenty of pages stating the rom is good. Isn't that basically the same thing as MD5 checking to see if the rom is good?

Also, never download anything from a source you do not trust.
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
But that's the thing an MD5 is simply a fingerprint to make sure that the ROM the dev uploaded is the ROM you downloaded and are about to flash. It has nothing to do with trusting the dev but its not like most of us know them personally anyways but that's besides the point.

The ROM that is uploaded may be correct and many people maybe downloading and using it but the corruption comes from during the download process either via the computer or on the phone.

Due to this sometimes 1 out of 100 or 1000 downloads for example maybe corrupt.So in this case 999 out of 1000 people will have the right file and no issues. I may not want to be that 1 out of 1000 that have a corrupt download thus I check the MD5 to make sure what I downloaded is what was uploaded and wanted to flash.

Takes 2 min of my time and I know what I have is what I wanted
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
The archives you create, Intratech, are only "self-extracting" on windows machines. I myself sometimes use your files but, being on Linux, I have to extract them using p7zip... and hence, I don't believe they are "self-extracting".

This being said, if the .7z file is corrupt, there is some chance that p7zip refuse to extract it. However, I don't believe this is a fullproof way of testing the viability of the file (it might be corrupt but "not enough/not at the right place" for p7zip to refuse the extraction). Then again, md5 sums are not fullproof tests either, by definition...

PS: I don't know how .7z files work. They maybe contain some kind of key check the extractor can test. Thus, everything I told might simply be BS ;)
[Galaxy S II General] m4rshall:
I'd rather a self-extracting archive than having to actually manually check an MD5 myself.. I'm lazy like that.

I realise that if its a self-extracting archive then I'll need my PC to flash it but I can live with that
[Galaxy S II General] fidorulz:
I'm not asking to force people to check just vat the md5 is supplied for people who want to check
[Galaxy S II General] lufc:
Its one of those people like it others dont

Me sometimes it can be a right pain but then it is needed:)
[Galaxy S II General] Syrellaris:
Aah I see now what you mean. Thanks for explaining :) I would have to say I agree with you to a large extent :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
it shouldnt matter running an ruu will revert everything back to stock no matter what unless you have s-off
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goa2000:
I have s-off what does that mean?

I mean if trying to install stock RUU....

ps. i just noticed i cant find any way to turn S-ON (custom hboot) any tips or advice?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDFF:
u definitely can, but will lose ur root.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Run the ruu. Downgrade. Temp root with visionary. Run the s on function of the one click radio s off super cid........ tool.

After this you'll be soff whatever ruu you run.

I Forgot to say that it is ENG s-off is the same method used to get the ship s-on?

does that make any difference ? Because i thought u can use s-on super cid aplication if u used you used the same aplication for the s-off?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
I don't understand your question. The ruu will flash over eng s off. When you s on with the radio s off tool all will be back to stock.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goa2000:
hhehehe i just wanted to know if its safe to use the s-on cid tool if i didnt use it to achieve the s-off in the first place:) but as fas as i understand you the RUU flashes over the eng s-off and from there you can safely use the cid s-off tool to achieve s-on again right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Flashing the RUU does not affect the s-ON/s-OFF. You have s-OFF at the moment? When you flash the stock RUU ROM you will be left with a stock ROM and you will still have s-OFF.

Are you looking to return your phone to s-ON status for a warranty return?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Yes it's safe to run the s on tool if you're still ship s off after running the ruu.

Yup i want to return it :( so i really need it to be s-on! :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goa2000:
it is currently ENG s-off :( and i need it to be stock ....

FULL STOCK!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uros0104:
Temproot using visionary, and then use ship s-off tool to go back to s-on, if that doesn't work, try using the eng s-off tool first, and then ship s-off tool(in both of these you should use s-on function).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goa2000:
i will try explaining this in great detail

i have a rooted phone android revolution hd mod *great mod by the way*

it is curently eng s-off

and now i have to return it to the mobile company and it has to be SHIP S-ON

I will do RUU overwrite however i am afraid it will stay with the ENG S-OFF

and in order for it to be returned it MUST be ship S-ON

Does the tool write the SHIP S-ON hboot? or ....how can i deal with this "dillema/problem"

WHAT should i do to achieve s-ON IF after the RUU update it stays with the ENG HBOOT S-OFF :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
uros0104 just told you how in previous post.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goa2000:
Agoattamer i know im just interested does the procedure overwrite the ENG hboot :)

u know .....so the question should have been does the aplication overwrite the HBOOT!

:) and as far as i can see it does:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Yes. You'll still be radio s-off (ship s-off) which the easy radio s-off tool can reverse.

We have 2 Evo 3d's and 2 Evo 4g's in my household and have no 4g in our area (btw I live near the capital of NY????). I've been paying for 4g for over a year on these phones. Highway robbery. :(

Also a friend of mine has the thunderbolt and gets great 4g reception. What gives Sprint?

sent from my maniac EVO 3D. FREE DIRK.
[HTC EVO 3D] iitreatedii:
Don't mean to be "that" guy but let me start from the beginning...4g is not in every area. Progression is being made throughout the country as we speak. The 4g fee you mentioned is a smartphone fee that everyone pays. You are paying for premium data which is a mandatory add on. It is required to be a customer. It is not a 4g fee. And to top it off Verizon is not sprint. Same thing with t mobs and att...different carriers have better/worse coverage in different areas. So yes I'm sorry you have no 4g but I was, including millions of other customers, in the same boat as you. Sorry for being that "guy"
[HTC EVO 3D] radioguinea:

Thats sweet! I live in Nassau, im at work in NYC, but will ask my wife to try 4G on her evo :)
[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
Troll alert!! I'm gonna be 'that OTHER guy and say, wow! It's hard for me to understand how the USA has such mediocre 4G coverage. My Canadian carrier (Rogers) has 90% of the population covered by 4G.

What really surprises me is that Rogers has accomplished this without charging any sort of premium. The ten dollar fee they're charging you seems ridiculous to me... Are they justifying this by saying it's going towards upgrading towers? Enlighten me! I'm paying the exact same price now that I was paying for my older 3G device.

The other thing is population density. Canada has a tenth of the population of our southern neighbors, spread out over a much larger land mass. This means that Canadian wireless networks have a fraction of the customer base, compared to American carriers (thus a fraction of revenue coming into their pockets to perform upgrades) Yet, as I stated earlier, they've managed to get almost the entire populated areas covered.

Where I live, I'm far from any major urban center. It's unfathomable to me that people living in the heart of New York are being left in the dust!

I'm not saying this to be an arse or to one-up you or anything like that. I'm truly sympathetic. I hope your carriers shape up and get you guys covered!

Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world
[HTC EVO 3D] iitreatedii:
Troll? Really, smh
[HTC EVO 3D] RedHulk:

[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I'll second that. I have know idea what that post meant...
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
If I remember correctly it was started with the original Evo. Other smartphones (my Touch Pro 2, and the Intrepid and Centro we had on our plan) didn't pay the premium. Then there were rumblings of a class action lawsuit because Sprint was charging $10 a month for a service that only a fraction of their customers could get. So then Sprint changed it to all smartphones, but we were grandfathered in on our phones until we changed to Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] iitreatedii:

I had a close call and almost lost my streak. Then thought of "what if I have to buy something else?" came to mind.

I have no idea what I could get to replace the streak? Any ideas? Just in case.
[Streak 5 General] AkumaMax:
Another Streak would be my first guess. Then I would maybe think about the EVO 3D(don't care for 3D just want dual core)

Atrix ftw. And see what samsung announces soon.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
This has been on my mind as well. I had a close call this weekend myself. My Streak went into an endless reboot loop and would not stop. FINALLY I got it to boot and immediately did a factory reset. So far so good but I'm getting nervous about this thing in general. I went back to my WinMo phone over the weekend and I'm still liking it but there's too much crap like Words With Friends, etc that I can't live without now. And I'm not wild about Android either but I had to have it with the Streak.

Bottom-line for me ... Probably will switch to the iPhone 5 when it comes out. Mooooooooo!
[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
Ouch!!

I actually have a second backup streak but if I couldn't use it for some reason then I would probably go back to my winmo phone. I have an old Tilt.

It'd either be that or my old BB curve duct-tapped onto my laptop. Then I would just wait for hopefully the next 5" streak, or another 5" Android phone.

No i-anything for me. Flash is a must.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
I would have to hunt down another premium-condition Streak, even if I had to may more for it (sad to say)... I've owned virtually every "premium" phone available.... Nexus S, iPhone 4 (w/Gevey SIM), G2 and a G2x.... None can compare (even though the Nexus S and the G2x were faster)..... What good is it if you can load a full web page in 2-seconds if you have to spend another 3-seconds scrolling and zooming in order to see it :)

That new 4.5" Samsung sounds good on paper, but their products are so cheaply constructed (Nexus S good example of that), that I'll Streak til I die LOL

isn't is the same OS? I don't understand how the atrix could do it and the streak couldn't not..?
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Definition

Aaron 89..... you're absolutely right about our Streaks being held together by glue (not to mention a shoddy battery door/locking mechanism) However; My Samsung-made Nexus S was left in the car (not in direct sunlight), for about 5-hours and the heat caused the screen to separate from the case... That's why, in my experience, I am convinced Samsung phones are made of the cheapest/thinnest plastics available.... They did replace it, but I sold the replacement phone IMMEDIATELY and bought myself a Streak and have never looked back :D

Speaking of Windows Mobile, oops, I mean "Windows Phone",.... my cousin has a Dell Venue Pro, and that phone is a true piece of engineering.... it's absolutely beautiful and it's so heavily constructed I believe you could drive nails with it.... I almost bought one and probably would have, but I just can't stomach Microsoft's phone OS (compared to Android)... it's intuitive enough, but just so damned boring to look at, not to mention lacking in capabilities (no threaded conversations in email, no call filtering (or app), for contacts, "cut & paste" VERY limited across their platform, etc..
