I bought the kickstand case the same day as the phone and only used it for a day or so. The buttons were a little difficult to get to but not unbearable. With this case, the cut outs for the buttons go all the way to to front of the case so there is almost no interference with the buttons, a big plus.

The big thing for me is changing batteries. I'm not a fan of plugging the phone in to charge, so I am always having to remove the battery cover and replace the battery(just using my old Epic's batteries for now). Ideally for me, I just want a naked holster, but short of that, this set-up is perfect. I do have a gel case on order though, just to try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravenstarr:
I don't really dislike the kickstand case, but I want a case that has a little more grip and the fact that the case/holster combo case is slimmer...even if it is barely noticable....will be a big plus for me. Plus, as I said in an earlier post, I would probably never use the kickstand, so having that on the case is more of a distraction to me than anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
I would definitely say that the non-kickstand case has a great deal more grip than the kickstand case. That was a big concern for me as I nearly dropped the phone on a few occasions. I'd have to say that with the non-kickstand case that's no longer a concern.

Another thing about the kickstand case, how much of your signal could that metal kickstand strip be blocking? Just my thoughts...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravenstarr:
Well, just got home with mine, and have to say that you guys were RIGHT!!

This case is definitely better and fits my needs much more than the KS case...Which foolishly I kept, but will probably sell to a friend of mine when he gets his phone next week.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
youre welcome :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
I want to also add, this case feel SOOO much more solid than the kickstand case.. with the ks case if you squeezed the sides together you can hear and see it moving... meaning it didn't fit snug therefore leavng room for dust and scratching

Are all sprint stores suppose to have this case i called the 3 near me ,they said it was not there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
they might have it.. most employees dont even know they have it.. when i went there he didnt know what i was talking about. he had to go look in back and came back like.. wow you were right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
I just traded my kickstand case for it. Definitely feels nice and feels a little less bulky. Can't complain. They didn't have them out on the shelves he had to go to the back to get it.

Funny, when I went into my nearby Sprint corporate store, I looked around at all the cases on display... it wasn't there. I'm glad I asked an employee -- it was tucked away in a drawer!

To Squishy and everyone who's taken the time to post reviews of this case & holster.... thank you!! It's a fantastic case -- thin, light, and grippier than the kickstand case. It has a subtle design on the case back and fits nicely into the holster. Well worth $29.

Thanks again!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
no prob.. whats even better, if the case breaks for any reason we can just bring it back and get it exchanged.. cant beat that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brewsbro:
Add me to the list of people picking up this case combo. I also had to ask, as they did not have them out for sale. Case is sweet. Worth the cash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravenstarr:
Funny how it's like this at every store someone has purchased the case/holster combo at. Was the same situation when I bought mine yesterday. I went in, asked for the case, and they didn't know what I was talking about. Then the associate went to the back to ask the manager and lo and behold, he came out with the case....

I wonder why they don't have them out on display yet. Seems like this would be a much better seller than the two cases that I've seen the times I've been in the store....the kickstand case and the ugly black and purple one....

This one is much more practical for me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
same here... add me to the list. Case alone is something I really like.

The sprint rep didn't know anything about it until they checked for it... glad she checked for me. I now own this really great combo. Thanks OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mapcom1:
does it snap shut with the screen reversed (pointing out) as well?

my epic does in the platinum case, so thats a requirement for me as i use it on my motorcycle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brewsbro:
doesn't look like it. I can only get it to fit screen pointing in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
No. Screen faces in, towards holster, so its protected. It will not fit with the screen out, unless you want to take a hammer and/or pry bar to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
Yea i picked one up as well as soon as the op posted this. They had to look in the back to find it as well. Compared to the tpu glossy case which I liked as well i like being able to just clip on with the holster. At first it was very slippery on the back but now it has some grip to it.

I kind of do wish there was a bit more cover around the volume, power and top (that's where I did the most damage to my evo) . But nothing to big.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlr_90:
I would love to have one of these. Unfortunately my nearest Sprint store is almost an hour away. I'd be looking at $15 worth of gas along with the price of the case. I really wish they'd get this online so I could get one.

Edit: I see it's online now! Sweet!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
It does fit with the screen facing out, it just doesnt fit perfect but it does hold it pretty good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m4rk0358:
Just picked up one of these cases. Absolutely love it even though I'll probably never use the holster part of it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omegafiler:
Just picked one up today. It's rather basic; just a plastic/rubber-like clip-on shell and a plastic belt clip that it snaps into. No felt liner or anything. It's not very easy to remove from the holster with one hand, at least not without pushing buttons in the process. The clip is very firm and there just isn't any place to grab the phone to pry it out of the holster without pushing on the power button. There's no spring, you are basically just bending the plastic "latch" since it's all once piece. I liked the Seidio holster for my EVO 4G much better. I'm sure the design of the phone itself doesn't help, but they can do much better here.

Oh well, not quite worth $30. But considering the limited options for this style of holster, it'll do for now. Hopefully Seidio will release their line of cases in the next 14 days (return period). :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
Thats how i felt at first coming from the siedio case for my og epic. But i got used to it and can take it out with ease now.. I do miss the spring loaded latch though

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
yeah I got one too, coming from a defender its rather average, especially for $30

but its better than nothing, I guess
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
I got this holster/case yesterday and the while the case is very nice the holster lacks in many ways. The clip isn't hinged, so it requires tons of force to clip open and closed, doesn't feel right and awkward sometimes.

Perhaps its because i am used Seidio clips/holsters, which i hope they release one soon so this one can go back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chumba8:
i think it and the carbon looking one are garbage they dont cover the top or the bottom of the phone what if i drop it who will that protect it? I have the carbon case with kick stand and only use it sometimes i went to go buy this one when i saw this and was so disipointed i didnt buy one we need a good case already!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
Anyone have other case holster suggestions to this one, perhaps ones with a better clip ?

Thanks !

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sndplace:
There are these cases with a kickstand. Its for the INfuse but its the same case for the E4GT ... holster kickstand.snap on case and screen protector. For now just the Hercules and E4GT has them but hopefully the ATTian will get one. you can get them there for $20 plus shipping at Amazon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibberish00:
So I installed the latest MIUI ROM on my I9000 Galaxy S, and everything worked fine for a bit. Then I wanted to retrieve my contacts I had from my previous ROM (Froyo, Darky's ROM) with Titanium backup. I found a file called something like "[contacts(...)]", which seemed like the right one. When I selected it it told me the backup was Contacts 2.2, my current version was Contacts 2.3.(1 or 5?). By accident I restored the app instead of the data.

Now my phone can't load the launcher because I have to force close android.process.acore every time. If I do this it just comes back before the launcher is loaded. I also have to force close Application Launcher. So basically I can't get into any app or menu.

I can still get into download mode or Clockwork Recovery.

So, two questions:

1) Is there a way for me to fix this without losing any data? I suppose I could reflash MIUI, but I'm not sure what would happen to my data and settings.

2) What would be the proper way to restore my contacts, without breaking my system?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibberish00:
Okay, I fixed the loop by going to the app manger via my home button and deleting the contacts data. Still looking for a way to fix the backup though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
I've noticed that sometimes I'll have to restart the phone because the Market app will just hang after I try to download or update an app. Has this happened to anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffolkes:
This happens to me all the time with the "new" market app on any device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
interesting. i thought using appbrain would fix it but i just get routed to the market download link. now i just use the stock app killer to close out Market then reopen it instead of rebooting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Has happened to me as well... I just use the task manager and kill it. If it becomes a serious problem for you, just go into the app settings and uninstall updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mastermayhm:
i am having the same problem, what is the cause of this? and is there an actual solution to this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
Use the samsung task manager to kill market and re open it. Shortcut is to hold the home button and the access the task manager from there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] adrdsouza:
I was trying to install oxygen rom and it was giving me error 7, i tried many things and after formatting everything (system, data, sd card) without backup, the phone wont turn on. it boots into clockwork recovery fine. connected it with the purple screen to a linux machine and there are folders in the memory but no files. Can't even find recovery.img. Tried installing stock Rom but after the progress bar goes about 10 percent it gives an error. Custom roms still give error 7. Please help.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
I'd suggest to boot in recovery (or install it if you accidentally deleted it) and wipe everything in advance (Dalvik etc) and then try to install a rom (anyone that worked for you) or some stock one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] adrdsouza:
I did that! i formated system, data, dalvik cache etc. and didn't back up the the phone before. when installing from purple screen stock rom gives an error and in recovery custom rom gives error 7 (assert failed)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Relax, your phone is not bricked, it's actually nowhere near that.

In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.

EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a

AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v

Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac

Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97

Once you've copied those files in there, boot into CWM and flash another custom ROM. Try Miui or CM7 this time.

If you don't have any Rom zips on the SD card, no problem. Just boot into CWM (Vol+ and Power), go into Mounts section and select mount USB/SD card. This should make the SD card available on the computer and then you can copy any other Rom zip on the root of the SD card.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Does he really need boot.img to boot recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Nope, not really. But just in case, I still think it's a good idea to put that in there...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
any suggestions for an easy to use no frills ROM?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Depends what you want...

If you want a showy rom that's got all the good looking bits I would suggest Cool3D AceS v3. Once you get it set up properly it'll run fine without having to tweak it every day.

For pure ease of use I'd recommend Redux2. It says it's a test build but don't let that fool you, it runs perfectly. However it's not got all the showy htc stuff.

Really (and other people will post it) it really depends what you want, and I'd recommend trying a few to see what works best for you/your girlfriend.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
best bet, flash a couple of different ones and see what she likes.

My missus doesn't get a choice. She gets what I give her ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mliou:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanticar:
thanks for replies - will try redux as that seems easy to use & good battery life - i use cool aces 3D myself & her comments were that it looked complicated lol!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Redux is a good ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avilis:
If you want something simple and fast you could try Oxygen/Cyanogen 7/Gingervillain, you can always add a nice launcher to spice things up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Use Redux2 (don't worry about it's test status). Works flawlessly and if you team it with a launcher (go launcher ex was my fave) it runs really fast and smooth.

Hope she enjoys it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I use Teppic's stock rooted Gingerbread rom, performance is fast and stable and the battery life is great compared to the stock rooted Froyo rom I previously used. Simple and quick to flash, theres no complications but theres a few optional mods if you wanted to add some minor tweaks.

[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hello!

I would like to ask for help, since seems that my phone fall in a more locked state, a seems that is an issue that is starting to plague the Droid-3's models.

Well, the issue is, I bought a Droid 3 that came fine and with a Verizon SIM card, and activated. So I purchase an Unlock code on internet, in order to Unlock it for use in my country network ( I already unlocked succesfully others models in the past).

Well, the code seller sends me 2 codes as options for unlock, butin the first try both fails with my local SIM (following instructions), well, then I enter in a process of several tests with other option settings ( Changing Network to gsm, full resenting of the phone,etc), but aftera I almost sure was 10 attemps (I was 5 process in total, since I received 2 codes, so spend 2 by every stting that I was try), the phone reported "Dismiss mode" and since them the "Unlock Network" option was not available from the system and request for calling Verizon service.

So, I am not in USA, an neither have Verizon account, I am stuck with the phoen still network Locked and worst Locked also in "Dismiss Mode".

So, far, I would like to ask PLEASE some help in order to try to unlock the phone, since by now is almost bricked.

I also would like to resume the info that I found by my bad experience and related research in order to help avoid that others users may fall inthis locked state:

1) If you try to unlock your phone and the code is unsuccesfull, You have at the most a MAX of 10 times in total and if You reach 10 times, Your phone will be locked in "Dismiss MODE" and will be asking for calling to Verizon to try to solve and You will have to need a Verizon up to date account and in normal service.

2) The codes available in internet seems NOT ABLE to Network Unlock some Droid 3's and the issue seems in rising.

3)There is some info around about that Verizon change the internal codes of their phones, so seems that the Motorola provided code that some sellers offers seems that dont work.

Please, If somebody could help with a method or process to remove or pass the dismiss state, and some info about codes outside Verizon that really could work on network unlock, it will be very gratefull.

Thanks for attention and best regards.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
If you leave the phone on for 9 hours (if I remember right) on this screen, it will go back to 'enter unlock code' mode. But this is all you could do. Verizon tends to alter unlock codes for their global phones - this started with Droid 2 Global and now we see growing reports of same happening to Droid 3.

The thing is they do not want you to be able to use the phone if you are not customer of theirs. For now, your only chance is to have phone activated on Verizon on account that's postpaid and has been in good standing for at least 60 days. Then owner of this account can call and request unlock code from Verizon Global Support. If all conditions are met - they will give him/her the code free of charge. I know this might not be possible for you to do. I believe the only other way is if bootloader gets unlocked and somebody knowledgeable can thinker with the baseband image to overcome the sim lock.

There is also one more thing you could try, but it likely won't work very reliably - it is called "TurboSIM/Smart Unlock SIM" - a thin module that inserts underneath sim card in the slot and fakes the phone to believe it is engineering SIM inserted, thus bypassing the lock code. Those sell for like $5 on eBay, but as I said - phone might not work very reliably when these are in use

Head over Droid 2 Global section to read for more information if you like.
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hello leobg!

First of all! thank You very much for take time to kind help and answer. Indeed, Your info is helping since make me with more clear scene about the phone status.

Well, by now I set the phone on with the original Verizon SIM inside, in order to look for the "Network Unlock Code" screen...

About this, I wonder, with some doubts... if there be possible that after around 9 hours the "Network Unlock Code" return, and if I do not have yet a proper code, IF I pass/dismiss the "Network Unlock Code" screen the phone will return to Subsidy status OR it may be remove the Subsidy status, and then, when I may get a proper code in future I was able to get again the "Network Unlock Code" screen again, OR, if I dismiss the "Network Unlock Code" screen, then the phone still will be in Subsidy status, so, the only way to reach again the "Network Unlock Code" screen will be put the phone ON for around 9 hours again?

The rest of the info is very usefull too.

Also, I wonder if somebody around here, may have the experience about made and complete succesfully a process of remove the subsidy lock with the Verizon service, and instructions, and in such case what could be the instructions that Verizon provides to a customer to remove the Subsidy lock in the normal way that Verizon does this.

And, of course, if some another good friend around have some additional help/info, it will be very gratefull.

Thanks to all and best regards!
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hello!

Well, still Locked... :-(

However, found that the tip about remove battery for a while (around 10-15min) and turn on with out SIM, then turn off, put a SIM and turn on again remove temporarily the Subsidy lock, so the "Unlock Network Code"screen option will be available again (but also if You type an unlock code and fail, it will turn to Subsidy mode again, but again You could reset by remove battery and so on...).

By now, I ordered a Turbo SIM but will take around 3 weeks to come...

Any info about a Recent succesfull unlock with a code from a seller?... May somebody succesfully unlock a D3 with a code from ebay seller unlock_fusion in the past 2 weeks?...

I would like to try to buy such codes, but I am afraid that all the ebay seller may have the same database codes (not verizon database...), so may be the same codes that I already have for my IMEI, and that didnt work in my case...

Thanks for any additional info/help... best regards!
