[HTC Amaze 4G] steveruv:
have both the d30 case, the all black one that was $25, and the diztronic skin.

my personal preference is is the diztronic. only con about it is that it covers the volume buttons, but not that much of a problem to me.

the d30 case, imo, feels heavier but more of a solid feel with the phone whereas the diztronic is nice and light on the amaze.

if this is not allowed, please remove, but if anyone in the nyc area wants to buy my d30 case for $15, let me know. again, my apologies if this does not belong here.

Good case but bad wi-fi

Love the D30 cases but when i have the case on, wi-fi spotty to zip. TAke them of -full bars---I have 2 Amaze-happens with both.

Hope this helps. There's a guide and pictures in that thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrischoi:
Doesn't work. All contact points are intact. I have an Amaze myself and never received a complaint that the D3O cases tamper with Wifi. It's not like it's a lead case... SMH.

Well I tried. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

Case wi-fi killer

Yeah-happens on both my Amazes'. Sitting in same room as router-case on bad--case off full strength. Weird that it is worse with the pink case than the black. My wife kept complaining and I was like mines not that bad. I switched cases and then mine was worse. tried this on multiple days, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke interference issue. Was the same. Only thing i could say is that diff pigment in pink made it worse? Dunno---other sites have complaints above silicone cases as well. So whateve---ima keep the cell regardless, love it. BUT the case has made a diff in our phones---and another that we returned trying to chase this issue.

thanks nguyendqh-i'll see whats up with that link and check it out
[HTC Amaze 4G] rider222:
D30 case hard buttons FIX

Yeah what I did was like what others had sort of mentioned. I put the case on -crazy hard to push buttons-right away-first day I cut slits horizontally along ALL buttons on 2 sides each. This gives it plenty of space and perfect soft touch feel. No sore finger tips-even for little wifey. Looks great cause you do not see the little slits at all. NO hole cut outs or nothing=perfect case for me now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] evohog:
Where exactly are the slits, would you mind posting a pic? Thanks.

amaze
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
D3O Slits

Where did you make the slits? Like just right along side each button?

Slit as in to make it loose and press down easier right?

Am I understanding this correctly?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rider222:
Here is a vid link to the slits that I cut in the case, buttons are way soft and you cannot visually notice at all.

[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Have you even seen one on their site? I mean...you may be asking for something that doesn't exist.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arich0908:
I own a D30 Case. Great case It is very nice and fits the phone very snug. I also bought mine from a tmobile store. IMO you should be able to find one just as nice for cheaper. I think its allot of money to spend on a case.

But thats just me.

The product it self is perfection.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I've looked, but I do believe other companies also make cases using d30...technology as far as I'm aware,

[HTC Amaze 4G] killfist:
Yep I got a purple/white for my girlfriend and i got the softer case because they are out of stock with black. I have dropped my phone with and without the case. Without the case a clack, bounce and dents. With the case it seems the material is legit. It didn't bounce nearly at all. It dropped and made a weird sound then fell on its back. I love this case and recommend it to anyway still undecided.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
i would crap myself if i dropped my phone haha, i need to hurry and buy a better/tough case for my phone.. just not sure what i want.

either trident, case-made, or d30.
[HTC Amaze 4G] valdes.edy:
Case residue

Have any of you noticed any orange residue left on the bottom rubber bezel of the phone? :( I recently took my phone out of the case to insert a new microsd and noticed an orange hue where I presume the d30 band touched the rubber matter on the bottom of the phone. Tried to get it off but to avail. I imagine the friction causes some d30 to rub off, that or the d30 was has no overlay after manufacturing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] killfist:
Go D30!!!!!!!! It is awesome.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

I took my case off last night to hard reset.. :( I did not notice a color change on the phone.

How long have you had it on? Have you gotten the case wet?
[HTC Amaze 4G] valdes.edy:
I bought the phone and the flex. prot. cover case the 6th. The phone has been in the case since then. Therefore not even 2 weeks of use until I noticed it tonight. I haven't dropped the phone nor had it near water. I live in a relatively humid climate but my phone is either outside for no more than a few minutes at a time or in my pocket. It is only on the rubber like edges where the bottom of the phone clearly contacts the D30 material.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I want the band but the back of my phone wouldnt be protected then.. seems rather pointless to just have the sides of my phone protected
[HTC Amaze 4G] valdes.edy:
They have three versions of the case. You can get the band WITH a clear hard back plate (protection without compromising the aesthetics of the phone), the flexable cover which is basically the band merged with a tough plastic/rubber backing, and the double protection case which is the band merged with a hard back. I only own the flexible cover but i'm pretty sure I described the other ones accurately.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
sounds like id pick either the first two, not sure about the first one cause plastic would make a lot of vibration in a drop cause damage..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kamikaze22:
First and foremost, I'm not blaming the case just sharing my experience. I purchased the double protection case when I got my phone last week and was very happy with it until yesterday. I'm placing my phone in my pocket yesterday and it slips from my hand and falls on the sidewalk. I think all is well until I pick it up and turn it over to find the screen is cracked across the middle. The one thing running through my mind is this case doesn't have any protection for the screen which sucks... I'm looking into other case options but from what I've seen none seem to have anything that covers the edges of the screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
none except the trident cases and case-mate and ballistic
[HTC Amaze 4G] valdes.edy:
The Trident Kraken Case or the Ballistic Shell Gel Case would probably be your best bet. I don't think any case real has any real protection from direct screen impact (if it falls on small pebble, etc). Given the Amaze is a slightly heavier device when compared to others such as the galaxy sII, these kinds of drops can be deadly upon impact. The D30 case does extremely well under direct linear drops but when you introduce a little angular momentum (rotation) I can see how the round edges of the screen could be vulnerable if the case is to compress or slightly slip off a impact. But I digress, go with the Trident Kraken or Ballistic Shell Gel, complete coverage with that case. The trident seems too bulky for me, I see not point in buying a 600 dollar beautifully designed device and just slapping one of those on there. I am thinking of maybe trying out the Ballistic Shell Gel since it doesn't look too bad and from ehat I've seen its not to bulky or "gel" like. But for now it's down to treating the phone like a piece of glass... wait that's exactly what it is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lmsilver:
I'be had fairly poor battery performance. When i went into running services i saw that quite a few were running that i didn't start up myself. Like Facebook. Tripit, hootsuite. I've made sure that notifications have been turned off but these apps are still loading up. Any way of making sure they don't load unless i manually load them?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] opnsrcaddict:
I've been using watchdog. It lets me know when an app is running in the background and lets me kill it. If there's an automatic solution, I'd like to know about it too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
Don't use task killers/managers. It's like shutting your computer off repeatedly without shutting it down properly and has the ability to screw **** up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YoungSkeezy:
Agreed, task killers... kill batteries.

Honestly, having it run in the background doesn't kill your battery. Its the syncing. I'm assuming you are NOT rooted? If so, then there are a number of apps to help you, primarily Titanium Backup so you can FREEZE the app.

If you want to have a quick free fix, go under accounts, and turn off sync for those apps. Saves battery life like you wouldn't believe.

There's also an app called "LTE Switch" that brings you to the LTE Menu so you can switch to CDMA (Also a HUGE battery saver)

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lmsilver:
I am rooted and running UNL3ASH3D V2.0. And yes I understand it's the syncing that kills the battery. I've turned off syncing on these apps but they're still loading which makes me think they are still using at least some battery. None of these programs (like Facebook) are listed in Accounts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] YoungSkeezy:
None are showing under Accounts? Hmm, thats odd. Usually, when you first get your phone, it asks to set these up. What all apps start up upon reboot? And you are NOT rooted, correct? I'll do some research :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lmsilver:
I'm not using the Social Networking app. Standalone versions of Facebook, Hoot Suite, etc.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KilerG:
What I'm using is a program that is a part of my file explorer, ES Task Manager. Instead of KILLING the apps, I can force them at startup to not run. So I stopped Gun Bros and Contract Killer from running at startup because they had these annoying notifications they would send me about buying in-game stuff and really didn't need to be run at all. And I couldn't find a way to turn them off lol, so this works out well for me. If you don't want something running at startup, you can do it this way, and it could potentially help battery life because it would only run when you tell it to. And you need root access to do this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lmsilver:
Great suggestion
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TechnoHippie:
Look for program called "Startup Manager" in market - works great!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] vacs03:
hello...i used a auto start manager, works great..but i also want that when i close facebook from recent app that it kills the process...in rom tools task manager i see that facebook is a hidden app (like whatsapp) so the built-in task manager doesn't kill it when i close the app..any ideas how to make the facebook app "visible" so that the task manager auto kills it like other apps and games?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
People say that but whenever I haven't used one, I can notice the difference in performance. My bionic runs better with ATK.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sk8mike911:
So you thought one of the sidekick 4g's design flaws was that you couldn't see the primary buttons (home, jump, menu, and back) in the dark, well think again. If u hold your sidekick under a light for about a minute, the four keys will glow, this is so sick and i think its another thing that gives the sidekick one of the most unique phone designs.

reply whether or not ur sk4g glows too.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Rock3rboy13:
Yea I had noticed that I thhought my phone had gotten screwed up lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] AFAinHD:
I still think that this is a bad thing because you have to charge the buttons with a significant amount of light, and if you had enough light to do that it would defeat the need of buttons that light up. Although I must say my friends still were pretty jealous that their buttons didn't look as cool. :D

Here in XDA we do not encourage [BOUNTY] due past horrid experiences many people were victim off.

Thus in most other section of the forum [BOUNTY] are actually illegal to say the least.

However if the [BOUNTY] are for a good cause it'll be allowed under a few conditions.

- The [BOUNTY] is to be

donated directly

to the DEV

- The [BOUNTY] will only be donated when the DEV work is complete

- You are not allowed to

make demands

to the DEV

- You can't promote yourself for a [BOUNTY]

- The Dev's work must be creative/original development, not just ported-themes, modified stock ROMs or kanged ROMs

- Must be Recognized Developer or at least have a good well known reputation in XDA

There you have it.

You've been warned!

Don't come crying to us if you donated, but didn't receive any result from the DEV, a donation is just that, you're not paying for a product.

Let's raise money to get bubby323 a T-Mobile Galaxy S II to develop on.

So we can have ports like..

Cyanogenmod 7

Ice Cream Sandwhich

Sense

MIUI

So we can have various themes and mods like..

This unreleased crt off animation that restores the screen off animation to our SGSII. (created by bubby323)

...and various kernels and other things we can only imagine at this point.

Overclocking

Underclocking

Battery Saving Scripts

Dual Booting

Init.d Support

Custom Boot Animations

It's been proven successful for other developers looking to work on the T-Mobile Galaxy S II, so why not bubby? Not to mention his name is bubbbbbbbeh!

If you are so kind as to want to donate all you have to do is click on NyanCat above. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bubby323:
Please DO NOT try to flash the Crt Off Animation on a non-deodexed rom. If you haven't flashed a rom yet, you need to do so before flashing that mod.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu4kShJSH0M

Thanks for this, I wasn't expecting you to actually post it when you said that you were wanting too. :3

But if I do somehow raise enough money to go buy the T-Mobile Galaxy S II I will do my very best to promise you everything that Sammydr10 posted above.

I already have a working overclock and undervolt, and a team put in place for Cyanogemod. My kernel hacking is almost complete and when the correct source with the right drivers is released I will release it.

What am I working on tonight?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
IMO people like him should get bountys. Not just random "devs".

I have no ties to Bubby at all, but I'm pretty sure that he won't leave us high and dry. He's done a lot for the community without even having the phone. Remember development can take a while especially if you have a life outside of XDA. Maybe Bubby is working on something very big like ICS or Miui.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
I've talked with him a fair amount in irc, and I'm sure he's working on something. Was simply making a statement based on people getting angry that he hasn't released anything yet.
