let me know how it goes for you... i'd love to use one of these.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kobakis:
photos please!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
Word of warning - I bought the case mate case with the metal back (http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...-S-II-Barely-There-Brushed-Aluminum-Cases.asp).

Very nice case but killed GPS.

Without the case immediate fix.. with the case no fix at all. Had to get rid of.

I have a feeling all metal cases will have the same issue.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
I wonder if that was just because of the metal back, or just metal in general. I hadn't read anything negative about the Taurus bumpers, in regards to GPS signal.

Worth testing though, having just come from a Captivate I'm a little sensitive about my phones GPS capabilities :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
Will do. Should arrive any day.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pappschlumpf:
With the european version and the Taurus GPS works perfect! Really a great bumper, I hope it fits for you guys!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
We're talking about a .7mm difference in height as the biggest difference in size between the two devices. I know it's aluminum, but it's SO close... unless it's landing-on-the-moon precise, I feel like it's got to fit!

I hope so anyway, every other case I've seen is gigantic and really defeats the purpose of having such a slim phone.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iqak:
No GPS Issues (still works indoors)

Gives a great sturdy feeling.

DOES NOT provide any clearance to the rear camera lens (stock battery).

Very very close to the same offset on the backside.

Gave me my missing Lanyard attachment point via a loop through the speaker hole.

I'm loving it in Gunmetal
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
That sounds great! I'm not sure what you mean about your last two comments re:camera clearance though... Can you post some pictures? I'm dying to order it, but the skeptic in me HAS to see pictures first!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
Yea what do you mean with no camera clearance?. I have the generic Case mate one at the moment but would love a metallic one as that would go epic great together with my keyport.

But do you have any links to where it can be bought?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
http://www.toughracing.com/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
Ugh it provides no protection to the camera like the CaseMate one does. The case mate cover at least lifts the rest of the phone high enough so that the camera bit is not extending out beyond the backside and thus you avoid scratches to the lens etc.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
Ahhh... Gotcha. Assuming that's the worst of it, I'm ordering one as soon as I see a picture of this case on an AT&T SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
I mean, I wouldn't mind a full metal one. IF it actually covered the back as well and lifted the general phone off the deck enough for the camera "housing" to not scratch against the table etc.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
Agreed. What makes me even more optimistic is the fact that if you check out some installation videos on Youtube, when applying the case, you place a rubberized seal between the bumper and the phone itself. This protects the phone from the bumper itself, and also provides a more snug fit, as opposed to a hard-on-hard surface.

I expect the case later today (10/14/11). Promise to report how it goes as soon as I get my hands on it, and will include UHQ photos of the install.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
Perhaps this thread should be moved to 'AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Accessories'?

My bad.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
Post your mini review with pictures in the ATT thread, with a link here. No harm, no foul!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
Still a bit concerned with how much of the camera that is actually covered IF the phone is not laying completely on a table but only partically.

Is the sides of the cover "high" enough to offer ample protection on their own?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
Will post some really detailed shots.. Hope it's waiting at home today. if not, it has to arrive by tomorrow.

The main purpose for this is to give the phone some grip and protection. The phone's slippery, cheap plastic circumference is a bad match for my greasy, damp hands, and tends to slip right out. Cases make the phone feel more.... appropriate. It adds necessary weight. As far as protection, I'm only concerned about dropping it on cement and other hard surfaces. 99% of the times when a phone drops to the ground, it lands on a corner- hardly flat on. The bumper leaves accessibility to the backplate, which is really nice (it better as I'm not going to unscrew each time I need to pull the batt :) ).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] landwomble:
Camera is about 1mm clear of surface of whatever you put your phone on when using this case..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
Even if the phone is not fully in contact with the surface?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Harbinger1080:
I guess it didn't show up? I'm super paranoid about having my phone totally naked...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] landwomble:
Well, if you lay it down flat, its fine. It's.not.covered so could still get scratched if you bang it on a corner of a table at an angle but so far it's all good...

Ps you don't have to remove to access the rear battery cover. I love this case. Despite the extra size of it it's cool as hell. Everyone who picks it up thinks it's awesome.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
That's not what I mean. If you place the phone on a table with the bottom "bulge" NOT touching the table, will the camera get scratched then.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] landwomble:
No, I don't think so.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sefelizrc:
I love aluminium!...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
How soon from ordering have you guys recieved yours?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
Incorrect! As a matter of fact, it does- albeit barely. :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] abacon15:
Looks pretty sick. You pay $40 for it? How much was shipping to the states?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sweetrobot:
$40 + 8.50, via ebay.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bearzila:
Nasty Bumper !!! Cheers! Will tried it soon
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MeX_DK:
Just recieved mine earlier today but sadly it doesn't fully protect the camera like I had hoped it would :(. The metal lip on the backside cover is not high enough to really raise the phone high enough over the table to completely avoid scratchings.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilestoad:
I'm willing to be corrected here, but as far as I can tell, everyone wants to return to stock before seeking Sprint's help.

If this is correct, does that not make all the anti-cloning types (especially, say, my account to my account with my phone to my phone) huge hypocrites, right?

I've already noted that the admins decide which things to delete or not, based on whim.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
There's a document a ways back that you could print out and take to sprint, and they would have to fix your phone rooted or not. Sprint really doesn't care if your rooted. Some people are a tad paranoid about it though. Lemme see if I can dig it up

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thachosenone:
i've tried them all...

i have probably 50+ apps

arc launcher: smooth, but still has to redraw homescreens occasionally and app drawers more often than not.

GO launcher EX: my favorite, but still had app drawer and homescreen redraw, don't like dock.

TW4: very very smooth, but every now and then, would freeze my Vibrant. tried countless ones from countless ROMs.

TW3: I figured it would be better, since it's the phone's native launcher, and im using a themed one based on the Simply Honey default launcher. smooth, but still has redraw in app drawer, and occasional lag on homescreen.

i've also tried the usual launcher pro and ADW....dont like the docks, and after a few days of use, would LAG....

is there a way to have the launcher stay in memory to reduce said lag?

ROM: Simply Honey 5.1

Theme: Simply Bloody

Kernel: Talon T5s, Bullet when I need GPS

Mods: FFC, GPS
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
There are several ways to smooth out your launcher and your smartphone experience in general.

1) Overclock your CPU. Multiple kernels support overclocking. Nearly all Vibrants can handle 1200mhz, and many can go up to 1440mhz without any tweaking.

2) Change your governor. Most people use the Conservative governor, which while great for battery life, is not so good for smoothness as it takes too many milliseconds to ramp up to full speed. Using Performance will keep your CPU at max clock speeds while you're using it, and your phone should still go into Deep Sleep mode when the screen is off, so the effect on battery life isn't too drastic. Ondemand is, I believe, the default governor for the Vibrant, and a good middle ground.

3) Switch to MIUI. This may be true for all AOSP ROMs, or all Gingerbread ROMs, but my personal experience is only with MIUI, and MIUI is the only ROM I've used that didn't feel like an incremental upgrade. Under MIUI and OC to 1200mhz, my launcher (the default MIUI launcher because it's quite wonderful) is perfectly smooth. 60 frames per second or better at all times. I've tried any number of tweaks, but when I was on Froyo, any and all launchers I used lagged to some degree. Not so with MIUI.

4) Zeam Launcher. It's very minimalist, but also has an excellent feature which allows you to perform certain functions by swiping or double tapping the screen. It's also the smoothest launcher I've used on Froyo.

Hope that helps!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mdtolic:
I had been a long time Launcher Pro+ devotee; up to just a few weeks ago. After a increasing problems with start up and widgets & apps freezing, I tried Zeam. It was just a whim; I really didn't expect much. It took a while to get used to too; mostly because I was so conditioned to the gestures and settings I had on LP. I'm loving it now though. For a "minamalistic" launcher, it has quite a few features. Features that actually took me a few days to even notice. My Vibrant is flying again. It is such a smooth launcher. Give it a try.

And let us know what you think. ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Stingerrray:
After 3 Days of reading and digesting all of the information I could find here, I need help in clearing up a few questions. Hopefully no one will rip into me too bad but here we go!

1)Ive seen an "official" USA wifi update on the forums here, has this actually been DL'd in the US or was it taken from the EU release?

2)For any of us that have been running DJ Steves Honeystreak and have downgraded with NVFLASH back to stock Dell Froyo 2.2.2 been able to just DL official HC 3.2 from dell via factory update methods?

3)In reguards to the service tags not matching on USA wifi models that have been downgraded with NVFLASH back to factory froyo 2.2.2. If a USA factory upgrade is attempted , has there been any problem with that? Specifically related that there is indeed a USA update available.

For some these questions may seem elementary. But with all of the reading that I have done I cant seem to find definitive answers to these questions.

As always thanks in advance for all of the help I find here. And any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stingerrray
[Dell Streak 7] Berryblue:
Answers to your questions

In regards to question 1, yes the Wifi version for the US has been officially released, however depending upon the build will determine whether or not your tabled has been tagged as for an upgrade.

On question 2, if you completely converted back to stock then you shouldn't have an issue with update as Dell can't see that you were not anything but stock.

On question 3, try doing a system restore to see if the tablet's tag changes to what yours should be, if not a couple of solutions have been posted in the past few days on what you can do to make it match. The update may not even look at the system tag but simply at the build.

Hope I've provided some answers to your questions, if not someone else may come along and add to this thread.

Hi everyone. I'm using "Cyano Ace" rom by BehradGH, with stock SMS app.

Instead of having all ROMS, Kernels, Themes clubbed together in on section can we have submenus in dev section so that we can chose what we want and/or what version (ie ec05,eh06,eh17 etc)

thanks
[Epic 4G General] the_dark_knighton:
That would be awesome.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Way to specific I would think to create this though and it would require a mod making a new sub menu for every release and leak ect.

But I agree it would be awesome!

[Epic 4G General] ac16313:

[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Agreed^ lol
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Not to mention after (if?) official GB gets here, none of the other ones will matter, probably not even the official Froyo roms.

It wouldn't pay off again until some superhero got ICS running and people started spinning that off.

Either way the real solution to this isn't subforums, IMO, it would be some sort of category/tags system. Some way the [EH17] and whatnot on the beginning of the link was something more automated and official than something the dev just typed there. Clicking [EH17] would show all the posts tagged EH17.
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
Wiki isn't enough because its not comprehensive either with all the roms and themes and kernels.
[Epic 4G General] amirite:
that would be a lot of extra coding work. One thing that would help is a 'Releases' section though - I'm really tired of people starting 'interest check' threads for their new ROM that they didn't even start yet, not to mention having the crap threads nestled right in there with the nice hot releases.

whats going on?:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
The kernel you are using may not have the proper signature to update to the 3.0 binary. You can try the superuser update fixer from the market, and then update the binary, or just uninstall the new superuser from the market to revert back. I find the update fixer works temporarily for me untill I reboot, then it tells me to update binary again. I just reverted back for now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roguejam:
I had a similar issue, where I would get something like "Obtaining root access: Failed" whenever I tried to update the binary file. I would also get a random FC of Superuser.

I uninstalled Superuser to get to the original one when I rooted my phone, and updated again via Market. It updated the binary file fine now. Hope that helps!

Note, I do also have Superuser Elite, but I didn't modify that at all.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceelos09:
Had this happen a while back. Just clear the su cache and re-try, that should fix the error

Check the market, they've been updating the Superuser app, like crazy the last few days. I've now had about 3-4 updates (at least one per day).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazinazn:
Uninstall the update then unistall the super user app. Reinstall the super user app, reinstall the update, and then try again. This worked for me.

I had automatic updates enabled, I think it screws it up. So uncheck it and manually update it whenever it needs to be.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manwhosoldtheworld:
sorry folks. i can't figure this one out. i f ed up and stuck xperia play att in clockwork loop during boot. tried a billion things including re flashing doomsimg . i tried installing r800a current bulid but still can't get out of clock work. if someone fixes this i'm in their debt

i still can fastboot. I just want to get back to stock

alright got r800a fw onto phone everything is working good except no root. did i loose unlock during flashtool fw update? how can i check? I can get to clockwork.

if i am unlocked how can i get doom to boot? everytime i flash tool boot boot the phone gets stuck on the cool android logo.

stuff about my phone

android 2.3.3

kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf (help putting dooms kernel on this would be nice I think thats the way to go but i dont know how to install it no .ftf or .sin as far as i can find)

build: 4.0.A.2.368

THANKS!! THANKS!!!

Just because i feel stupid i figured i'd post my solution

1. unlock by finding imei in aboutphone-status-imei

2. follow the unlock guide phone in fastboot spits out already unlocked (yea!)

3. flash boot boot

4. keep connected to computer when finished after screen flashes on then turns off disconnect (here is where i got stuck in a loop wouldn't boot past animation until finally turning off while conected to computer)- 5days of searching because i wasn't patient enough to wait a minute before disconecting phone from computer. *Banging my head loudly*

5. reboot

6. enjoy and buy a beer

Did you flash clockwork instead of just booting from it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manwhosoldtheworld:
clockwork problem

Thanks for the reply. That was the problem initially I flash system instead of booting did a flashtool.back to stock thanks to.some wonderful posts by doom xxxxsonic plus others. I love xda

Anyway now I can't get root again after using flashtool to get to r800a 4.0 baseband used doom kernel for appropriate baseband I get stuck on boot v2 and three fastboot flash boot I only get the cool logo never boots

I'm going to scour the forums again something about fastboot clear cache then retry doom fix v2 plus zoom

I dunno after hours and hours I'm back to having a working phone no root but no shifty bloatware either

Anything on how to root this I can still get into clockworkI would be thankful
