For me a simple hard cover case and a screen protector has done a decent job.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
i see a lot of the standard recommendations for otterbox stuff..........wondering, anyone notice these cases effecting their data./wifi/gps signal?

i have the flimsy body glove case, tpu/silicone type stuff and i have, through repeated experiments discovered a noticeable effect on wifi signal strength and gps accuracy/lock time, and seems as though it might actually effect my 4g speeds. Dosnt make anything downright unusable, but i usually take the case off when i need to use the GPS and if im too far from my router at home i have to take the case off to get an extra bar

i find it strange that such a thin and flimsy case would effect the signals in a noticeable manner
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
I have a hard case otter box. No issues with signal. Had 18mbps to 22mbps download speed on my phone with wifi before I started messing with the roms... but that's another story.

But no problems with speed or GPS lock or anything like that. You may have a router issue considering that's what puts out the signal. And bars don't always accurately show signal strenght.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Diffferent case materials attenuate different EM frequencies. Generally speaking though, GPS is the weakest signal and is VERY easily blocked... so that any case has an effect on it isn't a suprise at all (Check out the GPS Status app thread).

So while your case might effect your phone signal strength (assuming you are watching it in dB and not bars), then another case may have almost no effect on it.

No one uses Trident Cases?

I have a Trident Case on my Inspire. I love it. You can find them cheaper on Amazon then anywhere else, and the quality is equal to (if not better than) Otterbox cases.

It's got a silicone rubber skin with a polycarbonate shell around the outside, leaving the double-thick silicone exposed at the corners for drop protection. The shell comes in different colors, and you can order different colored silicone skins at tridenteer dot com ... I have Trident cases on all my devices, Inspire 4G, Samsung Captivate, and Nook Color. I love the design and quality of these cases!

I also enjoy the TPU cases found just about anywhere online. So much better than just a rubber skin. Sturdier and they come in different colors, sometimes transparent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
nah not a router issue. im talking stading 20 feet from router, put the case on and lose two bars of wifi and gps accruacy jump from 3 meters to 20 meters, and can reproduce the effects in similar fasion over and over. and as far as wifi goes i get similar results no matter what router im connected to.

its more of an annoyance that anything. the case dosnt make the phone unusable by any stretch but i do need to try some other cases so i can hopefully find one that has no effect on signal
[HTC Inspire 4G] SoC_Sports:
I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender on my Inspire and haven't had any signal/gps issue with it and I use gps almost daily. I've also dropped it countless times and it hasn't ever affected the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
Gotta agree. I have done some testing with my Defender on & off with no noticeable difference. Been rockin the Defender for about nine months. Kinda blah, looks-wise but rock solid protection. Wouldn't get another phone without an Otterbox available. My Inspire looks mint under there.

[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
I recommend silicon case.

Plastic ones are really bulky and with silicon case you get the same protection (at least in my experience, but I pretty much take care of my phone), but with much better and elegant look.

case-mate "pop"

I just picked up a Case-mate pop case from amazon for $15 to my door I've done several tests in different ares of my town with the case on and off and have not seen any noticeable loss of gps signal same for wifi in and around my house. This is a well thought out case and the protection factor is a 10, just my 2 cents and experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdjam2:
Pretty mych any rubber case than can overlap the screen

I have had one for a very long time and works great. Doesn't add much bulk and bounces like a basketball when dropped on its sides. I have dropped my Inspire plenty of times, and still no damage (from what I can tell).

Check eBay for some good cases from different companies. If the case is over $20, don't buy it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rakkesh27:

[HTC Inspire 4G] PickledJaW:
I recommend the Fishbone cases you can buy off eBay. They are inexpensive and I have had great luck with them. I like the way they look, and the don't make the phone bulky like the bigger Otterboxes do, and they are a lot cheaper than the commuter Otterboxes are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evazion:
I got an otter box commuter case for 15 on eBay. Great case
[HTC Inspire 4G] unometooo:
otter box commuter, very nice case, just don't buy it from att store
[HTC Inspire 4G] dobriy:
I got Seidio Innocase Holster (you can find one on Amazon) - it offers good protection to the front (the screen) and allows me to strap it on my jeans (as taking the phone out of jeans pockets can be quite tricky :))
[HTC Inspire 4G] emmabellachristian:
I can say this. Dont buy a used otterbox if you chose to go that way i got ripped off will never do it again. Tried fishbone but it sucks if you flash alot if your device boot loops you have to do a battery pull and i find them a pain to get on. So i decided to go the generic otterbox for like 8 to 10 bucks had one of my iphone in past so im hoping itll be good to me again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thenorm89:
Got my otterbox defender series off amazon for $15 USD. Love it. Really protects my phone through all the hell I put it through.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
They really do protect well. I had to remove the screen cover on mine cause it was getting cloudy but even without it still keeps screen from rubbing against things.
[HTC Inspire 4G] richlgm:
Me too I just replaced it with a $5 screen protector. I love this case.

Sent from my Inspire using, Planet Express delivery service.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hallowed.mh:
Me too. I run a kitchen, so you can imagine the hazards my phone faces on a daily basis. Trading some bulkiness (OK, a lot of bulkiness) for the level of protection the defender gives me is well worth it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jwc24678:
I have the otterbox commuter and have dropped it a few times on tile and other hard surfaces, it works great.

Are there any Game Boy/NES cases for the Inspire like they have for the iPhone? Or even any sort of graphic case that falls into the same category?

Case-Mate Pop

I have a HTC Inspire 4G and i bought a purple case mate pop case. It is make of rubber on the sides, and glossy plastic on the back. In my opinion it looks better than ten otterbox defender, and the case mate pop looks really cool!
[HTC Inspire 4G] andy442:
I bought one of those "s line" TPU cases well over a year ago off ebay. Paid something like 5 bucks. It doesn't add alot to the phone and gives you a better grip. Dropped the phone several times and it has survived. The case stays on but can be pulled off easily, and it holds up well.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
re-read my previous post.

either that or you are not explaining yourself very well.

tell SMS POPUP to *NOT* unlock the screen. its an option within SMS POPUP
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.

I have a question.. it pretty much works flawlessly for me.. catches all my words correctly.. reads message and everything.. but sometimes I wanna add an exclamation mark.. like this:

'Good night monica!!'

so is their a way to do this by speech?? like telling a comand to add a smiley or an exclamation ??

Edit: I actually got it.. at bottom there is a edit button and it takes u there with your 'said message' in compose window where u can quickly add exclamation mark.. pretty neat!! I wish I could reply to emails using voice..

Its interesting because for me, the voice recognition works amazingly well (far, far better than I had hoped) but my friend cannot get his wp7 to understand a word he says, he has tried all sorts of regional settings etc. to no avail.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] articuno1_au:
Background noise really screws with voice detection.

Get him into a quiet room and have him test it to rule that out :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
I dont think changing regional settings will be of any help..

i dont think have any other options for voice recognition other than American accent and pronunciation.. cos saving voice recognition commands for say British accent separately would take up another lot of space and memory..

i try to say my words without any emotions.. like a robot.. and without any fluctuations is pitch.. it was not recognizing the word 'dinner' as i would say it.. so i went to dictionary.com and played the word their, listened to it and said it back the same way and it got it...:D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertleao:
I dont believe the commands are stored on the phone. TellMe sends whatever you said to the TellMe server then it sends back the command, which is why voice recognition does not work without internet

[HD2 General] larro:
So ive been I having the problem for a few days. It was all good just a week ago. Then suddenly my music player and the gallery containg my photos were unable to find the media on the sd card. But I can play or view the media by manually looking thru file explorer. When it first started to happen i could power cycle my phone and it would go back normal. Does anyone know how to solve this problem with out either getting a new sd card or reformating. Its been sometime since i installed the android nand and dont have the patients to install it again....
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I suspect the SD card, if you have a card reader, remove the sd card (remove the battery first of course) and then copy/past all your stuff from each partition to the computer.

Download EASEUS free version and note the partition types and sizes then delet all partitions format and readd the partitions and their contents

If it was me I would just delete all partitions after saving my important photos/music then reformat.

Task 29 and reinstall the rom, only takes a few minutes, if you have done it once or twice already :)

Then copy the stuff back :)

Thanks bruh! I thank ima do that. Or I just found my wife's old memory card. Ill just swap it out she wouldn't know the difference... but definitely going try your way first...

[LG Thrill 4G] entropism:
Well, my thrill is going back tomorrow for a refund. I'm on my second from Amazon, and both of them had horrible issues. Battery life was about 6 hours max with light use, screen accuracy was in the toilet, and it would get so hot while charging, it would reboot constantly. The final straw was my replacement got so hot, the adhesive holding the glass melted, leaving black goop dripping down the inside of my screen, and making touch input impossible. I thought I'd give LG another chance after the G2x fiasco, but that was a HUGE mistake. Good thing the GS2 comes out Sunday.

Agreed... Im really loving this phone... Can't wait fir a solid gb build and followed by ICS... With our tridual omap... We will have a port fairly quick compared to others... because ICS is meant to focus in the tridual architechture... Side note... I was looking up research on our processor and the omap4430 was built to include major battery performance tweaks... It is definetly not the devices fault... side side note: looks like the omap4430 can support up to 20 mp camera thats just pretty cool info...

whoever had that realy defective thrill, dont blame it on lg lol. idk but so far from what ive seen or read everyone else has a really good one. prolly cuz we got it from at&t. idk. i got mine from att and its perfect. i couldnt b happier with it. every aspect of it is perfect to me. EXCEPT of course battery life. my last phone, after about 1.5 years of use i had to charge it once every 2 days. but this one i gotta charge it daily. bat lasts like 18 hours MAX. and thats if i use it like a normal person but no calls. just mess around and stuff.

all the defective thrills ive read about so far on this forum all sound like the phones that the insurance sends u if u "accidentally" lose it. or the waranty sends u. the refurbrished kind of phones. my last phone i had to get replaced. the one i got from att was amazing. i mean the plastic and everything just felt like it was quality. then when i got the replacement in the mail (cuz mine was "lost") it was just screaming MADE IN CHINA!!!!!!! plastic felt like they got it off from a water bottle. it generaly just felt like it was cheap mickey mouse quality. maybe thats what they sent u with amazon. i kinda feel the same about my thril now. it has amazing quality...screaming MADE IN 'MERICA F*K YEAH!!!!!! lol. but im sure if i were to "accidentally" misplace it in my other pocket and tell them i lost it, theyll send me a cheap version of it that looks the same but feels like china
[LG Thrill 4G] pjcforpres:
The build quality is what put me over the edge... usually I go for the phone with the most development and customer roms, etc. And I had planned on waiting for the GS2... but the build quality on this was HTC solid, with Samsung like screen, and very solid out of box performance. Figured for $20 from Amazon, I might as well save $100+ that I can put towards a Nexus Prime in a couple months.

Lol, I love this lg thrill much more than my samsung infuse.. I did love that samsung infuse, but i took a shot when someone wanted to trade the their lg thrill for my samsung infuse (: yay for me ! (:

But yeah I usually get the 14-16 hours on light use with this phone, a little pandora, surfing, twitter, fb, abd alot of texting, is what I base my "light use" from.
