[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Hi all, I know there aren't too many ATT specific cases out there yet, but I did want to do a quick review of the one that I ordered from TPU-cases (I got mine off ebay, but they have a regular site as well).

The one specifically I got was the Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case.

Overall, the case quality is solid -- compared to other TPU cases I've had in the past. It's solid enough to provide basic protection, but not too flexible (like silicon) that you have to worry about it stretching and losing its shape over time.

I opted for the matte black version, but I believe that there are other types to whatever fits your fancy. (I think the matte was/is so popular, it may be out of stock).

The other nice thing is that they throw in a free screen protector. It's a decent clear one (not anti-glare), which is my preference. It's not on par of the quality of let's say a Realook or a SGP, but for free, who's going to complain?

So on to the case review...

1. I've attached a few photos to show the overall fit of the case. It fits well, and doesn't add much thickness to the case at all (which is a huge plus for me).

2. There is a little bit of a "lip" on the front, so it you do place your phone face down on a table, it leaves enough gap to protect the screen (as opposed to laying completely flat).

3. There is a decent size cut out for the power button, but the volume rockers are actually covered. However, no functionality loss on the power buttons -- in fact I think they may actually make it easier to use.

4. There is a cutout for where a lanyard hole should be -- (aka the international version), but no biggie here.

5. On the bottom, standard cutouts for the microusb port and the primary mic.

6. For the back, nice cutouts for the camera and the speaker on the lower right.

Now for the million $$$ question -- is the top aligned correctly for the secondary noise cancellation mic???

Fortunately the answer is YES! I believe this case was originally made for the international version (evidence from the lanyard hole), but the designer -- either in a stroke of pure genius and foresight (or just plain laziness) made the top cutout for the mic large enough where it does not cover the off-center version of our mic. So it looks like it could accommodate either the international or ATT version of the SGSII. I've tried to get a close up of the top so that you can see what I am talking about.

Overall -- for a shade under $9 USD for a nice looking/fitting case and a screen protector - I would say it's a great deal.

As I mentioned earlier, unfortunately it looks like the matte version is out of stock, but the other versions should be just as good.

Site: http://goo.gl/U4KHI (main site) or you can check ebay under the seller "TPU-cases" -- http://goo.gl/kNzh1 (ebay store)

UPDATE: I didn't realize they also have an Amazon storefront, so it's available from several sources: http://goo.gl/ltQnW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] compuguy1088:
I have the same exact case for my international sgs2. It's pretty good, though some micro usb cables don't work with it.

Edit: got mine from their amazon storefront.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ceo.mtcl:
Exact same case. Bought from Amazon for 10 bucks, prime shipping. Costly for tpu, but it had cuts for top mic as well. Fits perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gqonmars:
I bought this along with the gloss black. I am using the gloss black as I think that it looks better (my opinion) as this matt one looks a little worn out of the box. This is only my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZionExpress:
I was just checking out these cases on amazon and i wonder, is this the closest thing to the flexible TPU case that bodyglove made for the Captivate? It sounds like you may have had the same case for your previous phone, how does it compare?

For those who are wondering, this is the old case http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Mirage-Samsung-Captivate/dp/B0040M7H96. If bodyglove made the same exact thing that fit the GS2 i would buy it in a heartbeat!

If these cases are the closest thing available i might just have to get one to see for myself. How do you like the case now that you've had it for a little while?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Actually I did have the BodyGlove case for my Captivate since it was one of the first decent cases to come out. I am not sure if you had this issue or not, but I have some scratches at the top of my phone (small ones though), but I do believe it was caused by the BodyGlove case (perhaps a little too rough on the inside).

But as for the overall material of the case -- yes, the BodyGlove case is also TPU, which is the same material. The only difference is the BodyGlove was solid black with some texturized ridges, and this case is matte black (but they also come in semi-transparent -- just comes down to your choice in visual aesthetics).

If you liked the material of the BodyGlove, then I think you'd be happy with this one as well.

If you can't get in flashmode (which requires the phone to be off) then it's a trip to the service center, or contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 for remote help.

hello all

I want to replace my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with the LG Optimus G2X.

as I understood, the G2X comes sim-locked to t-mobile's only sims...

is it possible to unlock the phone somehow myself or do I have to go and purchase an unlocking code or something like that from online sites?

I'm planning to buy a used G2X, so I have no idea if doing so, I'll be able to contact t-mobile and ask for the unlocking code myself, or even if they allow such a thing ..

any help would be appreciated.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you have a T-Mobile account in good standing more than 90 days they will give you the unlock code for free. If you are not a TMO customer or meet the requirements above you need to buy a code.

I can sell you an unlock code for $5.00. Cheaper on ebay also but I give good service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gmasterb:
you can provide the unlocking code instantly or does it take few minutes/hours to get it?

I'm afraid of purchasing the used G2X since I have no way of checking it beforehand since it is sim-locked... right?

Rami
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The code can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to retrieve. On the weekends if LG's database is down you might have to wait over 24 hours. Normally you have the code in less than one hour.

You can check a lot of functions without the sim. If the seller has a T-Mobile sim you can use theirs to try it.

When ever i try to add a contact my contacts app force closes. This happened to me the other day so wiped out the phone and started from scratch and it was fixed. Now randomly today it started to do it again. I just rooted it last night (shouldn't matter). I was trying to add a contact through the go sms app, then i tried again through the normal contacts app and i still can not get it to do anything. Just force closes. Any help to fix this would be great!!!!

Wondering if anyone else has this issue. My wifi is pretty weak on my EVO. i had strong connections before, and after, i rooted. But since i started running cm7 my wifi has become very weak. currently, my laptop has full bars, my friend has full bars on her intercept, but my EVO wifi shows only the dot in the wifi signal display is lit up.

Is this a known issue? and is there a fix? as i said, everything was fine when i was stock, unrooted and rooted.

This is just almost too ridiculous to believe for new sign ups. Verizon is offering a one cent sale for all their Verizon phones! Keep in mind that this is for a new two-year individual contract only. Their renewal deals aren't nearly as good, but are still cheaper than the Verizon store. Here are the details straight from Amazon, "For a limited time only, all Verizon phones with a new line of service are on sale for a penny and include standard FREE Two-Day Shipping. Offer valid between 5:00 p.m. PDT October 11, 2011, through 11:59 p.m. PDT October 17, 2011, while supplies last." Here's a list of Verizon phones that Amazon sells:

It's no more relevant than any other device's source, by and large, to us.

Okay cool, I can wait patiently for our official now lol.

Samsungs got it all wrong, throwing equivalents of our phone with gingerbread preloaded? Fail.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
My thoughts exactly.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
If more people who had this phone knew about android versions and what not, I'm sure samsung would have been getting complaints right about now.

Luckily, for Samsung though, most users are teens who text a lot(me included) Oh well, maybe they'll learn some day.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
That's right. I would venture 90+% of people have NO CLUE what Gingerbread is, nor what version of Android they're currently running. They see an update come through, install it, and go about their business. A select few of them may notice something different with the looks, but that's about it. They may notice something looks different, but only because one of their apps (I'm thinking Eclair vs. Froyo messaging) looks a bit different. If that's the case, they probably assume the update was just for that app...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If Samsung is throwing around Gingerbread all over the Epic (as well as most of the US galaxy s series) have not gotten, maybe it is the carriers holding everything up. All of the updated GBs have been through Kies and for some reasn Sprint don't want the Epic on Kies.

I couldn't bear being on the Epic anymore. I called Sprint and complained about losing my premier gold yearly upgrade that I was promised when I bought the phone, and told them it was a bait and switch type deal that's unfair to those that only signed a contract because of the idea of being able to upgrade yearly. I told Sprint that the move was shady, and that it was equivalent to a materially adverse change. The customer service rep passed me over to a supervisor who let me off

contract and waived my ETF. I'm now free to purchase the Nexus Prime when it hits Verizon or AT&T. I can't wait. Samsung's lack of support made it unbearable for me to continue to hold on to this device. Every time I saw a phone that wasn't even natively Android get CyanogenMod 7, it just infuriated me more. From now on I want updates right from Google.
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Another post in the Epic 4G section brought this to my attention. If you search for Desk Home Samsung you will find two versions for the epic, one for Froyo and one for Gingerbread (both by Samsung). The Gingerbread one was up on the 8th. Unless Samsung supports rooted phones this means gb is done and Sprint is holding the update for some reason. Or they could just want the gb version up ahead of time. Either way it seems the last build is it or at least really really close. Just my 2 cents. I no longer blame Samsung.

Maybe but is anyone running EI22 to know if those bugs ar fixed? I keep hearing ehxx but no ei who knows it may be fixed. Also I mostly going by the fact that Samsng is releasing apps for this phone and in the "what's new" section it says Android 2.3 support. Even if its bugy still I don't think Samsung would release an app designed for Epic 4G running gingerbread if it wasn't ready. Maybe the new problem is OTA updating? Mabe now the problem is on the Sprint side. I honestly don't know just my hypothesis.

[Epic 4G General] socos25:
The problem is not OTA updating. The current GB builds I've ran all had the same issue, random reboots. I am told it is a memory leak, but for the life of me I cannot see what is taking up the Ram. I can see the memory getting lower, but none of the programs seem to be keeping more memory.. My guess is when programs are closed they are not freeing up the memory once closed.
[Epic 4G General] avlon:
While I'm content that the Epic is still a speedy beast that runs everything buttery smooth and has a gorgeous screen and awesome camera, I hate the fact that Samsung cannot update this phone is a timely manner. The leaks have been decent but ICS is around the corner and this phone was the most expensive on Sprints line up. To see such shoddy official support is ridiculous. If Samsung wants to compete against Apple, the 1st thing they need to do is compete on the software front with a great experience and timely updates.

I'm rather curious to see if the Verizon variant will have the same keyboard skipping issues as the Epic or if that will be fixed. I find it amazing that Samsung and Sprint have dropped the ball on something so basic on this phone.
