[HTC Sensation] shawayne21:
My review:

Love it.

Excellent build quality though the silicone grabs a little dust.

The back is not as slippery as he says.. it has a rougher texture to the back, where you can see in the video. the phone actually feels solid in hand.

Only thing i dont like about the back though, is if you leave it on a flat surface, and you tend to move it, it spins because theres a bump in the middle as you see in the video above.

The downfall to that is if your not holding your phone, and want to unlock it on a flat surface, or type on it, it will spin and you will not be able to.

Otherwise, perfect case :D.

P.S: You can get the case brand new on ebay for around 25 or less!

Saves you about 10+ dollars.
[HTC Sensation] cdstewart:
I have been using this on my sensation for a while too.

Gotta say, excellent case, not as bulky or ugly as some other otterbox cases.

Premium protection. My only gripe is that due to the silicon on top+bottom its a little hard to pocket, but if you are at all worried about protecting your sensation, this is the way to go!

Also it seals tightly around the corners which would help to prevent dust getting under the screen!
[HTC Sensation] mulawingalang:
I noticed that the holes for the back case are not complete. Does it affect its performance? :)
[HTC Sensation] fireishott:
Nope the only complaint I have got is I sound muffled..called otterbox about prob and they are FedEx'n one to me no questions asked... Hope it fixed the prob will keep you posted
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
With that case on, will you hesitate to hold your phone steady about 4-5 feet off the concrete or hardwood floor (side walk will work too) and drop it down?

Case looks pretty good and I bet it is awesome for dust and scratches protection. But I have doubts on how effective it is against "droppage".
[HTC Sensation] Ploone:
I would always hesitate to drop my phone haha - however something like this would make me feel a little safer and more protected.

The silicone inner layer does a great job of absorbing shock, it really depends what angle it hits the floor to decide if it will break or not.

This and the Trident Aegis seem to be the best options for drop protection.
[HTC Sensation] fireishott:
I have done just that not willingly but i had the dreaded lap fall when I was frying out of my work van wich was atleast 4 feet not a scratc on it just a skipped heart beat

Hi guys,

Is there an official back cover that is smooth and doesnt have the pimpled slightly-rough back?

Its hard to explain, but hopefully my question is clear.

Might seem like a dumb question but I can't seem to enable swype on password lock? it's so much easier and allows me to easily unlock my phone with an essentially endless pattern gesture, I had it working on my thunderbolt but I was using a self installed early version of swype because the tbolt doesn't come with swype, is there anyway to enable this? Thanks for any help and I know we can't post swype apk's but I'm hoping its an easy fix...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dotson817:
Look up how to remove preinstalled swype, then download the beta and install

Thanks, and yeah I figured that was the case I just wanted to use the preinstalled swype.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:
Guys after playing a game for example for about two mins or sometimes when going through application settings when I press home or attempt to go back to home screen I get this huge lag whereby the dock will disappear and reappear. Then when I open the app drawer from the alphabetical setting it changes to own order. I have to keep setting it back to alphabetical (selecting it twice before setting changes back).

If there are any details required please inform me.

I will be grateful for any help :)

Thanks and regards

Edit: also happened just now when tapatalk force closed
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chitose_ndy:
i think you have the same problem that i had.

i bet ur using a task killer right ?

ur home is killed by the task killer,

and then the home restart again, and thats why u have to sort it again and the dock reappeared,

what u have to do is just open the task killer,

and then press and hold the home app,

and ignore the home from being killed (add the home app to ignore list)

if this help please press thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uyo_kun:
if I'm correct, your default home app always restart because you have too many apps
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
If you have rooted your device try V6 Supercharger. It helps in fixing redrawing launcher.

[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Why did he pick some of the crappiest android phones out there. As much as I hate not getting upgraded it seems as though this list is biased. None of those devices compare to Apple's products and the products that do he conveniently left out.
[Vibrant General] doug2060:
True, but our phones got left out too...
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
What I meant to say was he would have had more support if he had acknowledged the top tier Android phones such as ours that aren't getting updates instead of the crappy low end ones that probably can't run the updates that google wanted.
[Vibrant General] ramiss:
Huh? The entire article was downing Android for lack of updates and this makes Apple look bad how?
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
It's so funny, the same people who ***** and complain about no OS updates are the same ones who get angry when someone at a tech site writes an article about it.

There was a similar article on Androidandme and everyone of the comments was full of people defending the Android world, yet many of these same screenames are people who allows ***** and complain about never having a recent update.

It's true, Google/Android is running the update thing horribly. Ultimately if they don't clean up the fragmentation then that will be their downfall.

Google needs to stand up and say "enough, you want my OS on your phone, then you provide timely updates, PERIOD!"

I think the power of Android is now large enough to make a stand like that.

I am so sick of being at the mercy of my carrier and phone manufacturer for updates. Especially when the phone is fully capable. Could you imagine purchasing a pc and being at the mercy of the PC manufacturer for OS updates or drivers?

Manufacturers need to just make the phone, provide the proper drivers, then screw off. Let Google release the OS on their site, and people just update that way, and use the drivers from the manufacturer or component makers. Too bad this will never happen because the phone manufacturers and carriers are in bed together, giving us no updates is 100 percent planned.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Sorry, I meant make apple look good lol, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that part.
[Vibrant General] mike_ekim:
What individuals are you talking about? I ***** about no OS updates and I back the article 100%. Just because lots of people complain about opposite points, does not mean that the same people are complaining about opposite points.
[Vibrant General] doug2060:
Agreed. I ignored that comment because I wasn't sure as to how it was intended. I didn't post this link to ***** or complain. I posted it because it's a common theme with Android phones and many may not be aware of it.
[Vibrant General] dardani89:
Its a valid complaint that hopefully will be put in the spotlight. This is the number one thing that is leading to fragmentation and eroding support for android. Now that ios has some of the features of android there is heavier competition between the two. What if the next iPhone has a bigger screen and live wallpapers or if it become more open? How will android compete with that if it can't even keep its line or phones updated. Nobody can deny the superior support for iPhones over androids and that is something that Google really needs to try and remedy cause clearly it can't be left to the manufacturers or carriers. The os has matured enough that Google should start flexing some muscle so the system can have some standards.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
It is not a fair comparison. Apple uses one (1) OS. Android is a base, and each carrier determines skins. Waste of an article is a waste of an article.
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
The original research is at http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphans-visualizing-a-sad-history-of-support

I think the points he has to make is valid and of course frustrating, but it is *NOT* an Android problem. It's a general phone manufacturer and carrier problem. Feature phones have the same level of poor support. I know my last feature phone's email would never display the right timestamp, and the firmware was never upgraded (even though it was a top-of-the-line phone at the time)

Robert
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Feature phones are completely different. You have android devices with basically useless lock screen security that take forever to get patched. You think that would fly with apple. Look at our phones stock performance. Apple would have fixed that fast. Just like they fixes one of the older iPhones following the iOS 4 update.

It's not just about os updates. It's about security patches and bug fixes. Malware is a bigger issue on android because so many phones are left in an unpatched state. It really does give android a very bad rep with a ton of users.
[Vibrant General] rmeden:
Do you think feature phones never had any security problems?

I still feel the problem is the same. The issue is not fixing an individual problem (or even applying a fix someone else has made), but the total lack of support after the "next" model comes out.

Personally, I think I'm going to use this research as leverage to avoid signing a commitment in the future. The prepaid/non-contract vendors are starting to offer Android devices. We can complain, but I don't think it will change the carrier's business models.

Luckily I near a big city and don't travel that much so a smaller carrier may be fine.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmarne:
I am thinking about upgrading from my Jawbone Icon to something else that fits my situation better and I need some advice.

My Icon works fine but I routinely carry 2 a2dp-capable devices (a mytouch 4g and an ipod touch 4g) and the Icon doesn't play nice with multiple devices that support a2dp since it does not support connecting to multiple devices using the a2dp profile. I find myself fiddling with the bluetooth toggles on my phone and ipod to get the correct device connected with a2dp (and I wish there were an easier way to toggle services on and off on my ipod like the power panel on my android)

I've been researching for a while and the only bluetooth headset I've found that I can confirm supports connecting to multiple a2dp-capable devices at the same time is the Jawbone Era.

I'd like to know if there are any others. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing if the Plantronics Pro Plus can connect to my phone and ipod using a2dp at the same time.

Can anyone confirm that other headsets are capable of "Simultaneous A2DP Multipoint " (as the Era coins it)?

I love it. I've been using the tethering on my Epic to download apps. I played Infinity Blade on it and omg that game is amazing. Siri is very useful. It's exactly what I wanted in a speech to text system. I had the original iphone (my first smart phone besides the helio ocean) which was horrible. I dislike the lack of customization and using itunes. The screen is much better than the Epic but you can see how overly Saturated stuff is. Everything works well. I am not an apple fan boy by any means. I'm studying Java to develop for Android. It's good to see what the competition is like. The apps really attract me on the iphone. I don't really want an ipad though because it sounds like a feminine cleaning product and because I'd feel like a douche carrying one around with me everywhere.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRi7X:
Hey, XDA. This is a copy and paste of a post to '/r/wp7dev' on Reddit I made a few minutes ago, and I'm not yet able to post links sadly.

I took out my Toshiba Gigabeat S the other day, which I've pretty much abandoned when I got my Focus. I kind of missed the amazingness of Rockbox.

The short time that I had a loaner iPhone 3G, I had installed iDroid on it and the Rockbox for Android port too, and it worked well. (I was the first person to get Rockbox working on an iPhone, [kind of!])

So now, I'm thinking about how cool it'd be to have Rockbox on my shiny Windows Phone 7.5 Samsung Focus...

I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the term, aside from dabbling here and there, but I do have the whole VS2010 for WP7 and an official student dev unlocked phone and all that, and got to tinkering with the source from Rockbox's Android port (I had this linked, search for Rockbox Android port). (I figure it'd be the most sensible to try with their Android port than any of their device specific variants.)

Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing. I was able to find a porting guide for Android to WP7 APIs (I had this linked, search for Windows Phone Android mapping) and it looks like a lot of the objects translate well, plus Java and C# are fairly similar to each other, and are translatable (also linked, search for Java C# comparison).

I'm aware of some of the limitations with file system access and native applications, etc. with WP7, so I know the whole porting process won't be a 1-2-3-done kind of deal. But it definitely looks doable.

It seems that something like this might need an Interop-unlocked device for it to fully run, but I figure anyone who'd even want Rockbox would already have that done.

Rockbox would be great for WP7 because:

- it supports gapless playback

- it supports a gigantic variety of file formats

- crossfading is lovely

- EQ controls are superb, as are compression controls and balance and whatnot

- it has an excellent set of plugins like oscilloscope, vu meter, etc.

- plus, it'll look really cool Metro-fied.

If anyone with interest is able to help out with this, let me know. Then who knows, support for streaming gapless from a media server could even be done down the line.

tl;dr: a Mango/Metro-fied WP7 Rockbox using the source code from the Android port could be a super amazing thing for the audio playback options for the platform. Any assistance in doing this would be spectacular!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Rockbox for Android is not something I'm familiar with; the last time I looked at RockBox it was a full ROM replacement. You could technically do that with an HTC phone, I guess, but it would be very difficult to create the ROM and a complete waste of the hardware's other capabilities.

Integrating Rockbox functionality into a WP7 ROM is probably closer to what you're thinging of, but it still won't be easy. WP7 doesn't allow apps to replace core functionality built into the OS, so you'd need to create a custom ROM that uses Rockbox in place of the built-in media player.

I don't know how hard this woul be, but don't assume it would be easy. Android is pretty much nothing like WP7 internally. Android uses a Linux core, and apps for it are written using a Java variant or various native programming languages available for Linux. WP7 uses a Windows CE core, and apps for it are written using managed code or Windows native C++. Typically speaking, to port an app between the two system you must completely re-write it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRi7X:
I do know that Windows Phone 7 uses C#, which is structurally similar to java. At that point it'd be a matter of porting over the java to C#, then figuring out the API equivalents. Still though, I don't know how possible this'd all be without native access to the device.
[Quantum General] barryweston:
Hey,

Just received a LG Quantum, unlocked from Bell, now using on Rogers.

The SMS messages are sent and show the correct time stamp. Incoming sms show a difference of -4 hours.

All time settings are correct, and I had this same issue on my HTC Desire Z running Insert Coin with Sense. With Android, I used an app called SMS Fixer and it was working fine after that.

WP7 doesn't have such an app, so, does anyone have any ideas or fixes on this.

It isn't a WP7 specific issue, since I see it on Android, it isn't a Roger's issue since many other users see it too, and it isn't LG specific since HTC users see it.

You could argue it is a Rogers issue, because the time stamp is provided by the carrier, but I have used other inlocked Win Mo, Android phones with out this issue. Just the HTC G2 and LG Quantum have done this.

My HTC Touch, 2 different blackberry'sm HTC Dream and HTC magic never had this issue....all we unlocked expect the Magic...

Someones gotta have an idea here??
