[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
The D3O cases as many are already familiar with here, are a perfect fit, however the buttons are waaaay too hard to press (not recommended if you flash your phone a lot)

The Flex Protect version of the case, is at least easier to put on and take off than the dual tone Dual Impact version.

The D3O Dual Impact cases feels like a solid plank of wood, is not heavy, but it's absolutely not flexible enough for you to easily put the phone in, or take it out.

(Dual Impact photos coming later)

You almost have to break the case in two to get the phone out of a Dual Impact case.

In the other hand of the spectrum we have the cheapo generic Clear S TPU case with the dual tone S shape which is not a perfect fit (as you can see from the pictures), but the case does a way better job and it really highlights features of SGS2 really well

The grip is amazing with the Clear S TPU case, no more slipping off the hands, like it was in when using the D3O case, the matte like finish is nice, but it becomes slippery in a dry hand.

The difference between the 2 cases are night and day, D3O is perfectly tailored for the T989, however it's not user friendly, while the cheap Clear S TPU is not a perfect fit, it does everything better than the D3O

I got the Black D3O Flex Protect case from Tmo online store https://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOn...415d-b2d0-0254711cf682&inCart=True&catCode=21

and the Clear S TPU from DX http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protective-tpu-back-case-for-samsung-sgh-t989-translucent-white-93678

DX = DealExtreme

I have the d30, I just hate how hard it is to use the power button..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
I read somewhere else to cut a small piece of paper and fold it and put it where the power button is. It works great makes the power button. Super easy to use. I did it for both the power button and volume rocker
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
Here are pics I just took a tiny piece from a post-it note and used some double sided tape
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
I do know about all the work around to make the D3O cases buttons easier to press

but there's no fixing the texture of the case itself to make it less slippery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dnguyen1988:
This is true my brother the D30 is pretty slippery.

But yea I just wanted to let the dude above my post know in case he didn't.

Wow allgamer you received your case from dx already?? Mine just got shipped siighh :(

The Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 2* listed for sale on Amazon gets really good reviews. I've been looking at a case since I got my phone a few weeks ago, but keep vacillating on whether to get one or not......anyway, this one gets stellar reviews (48 so far) with 4.5 out of 5.

Will have to try this little trick out. I have the gray on black D30 case and the buttons are a P.I.T.A to press. I have had my phone for about a month and a half so I'm kinda used to it by now but it's still annoying. For this reason I make sure any ROM I flash includes the Advanced Power Menu for easy access to recovery mode:). I am not looking forward to the day when I may have to manually enter recovery mode :(.

As an aside, if anyone can point me to a nice case with a good kickstand it would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, there are people in the other D30 cases thread saying that their cases have cracked. Anyone here have this happen to them yet?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lazy361:
I looked at this case also but choose the d30...however the caller on the line hears and echo of themselves when speaking....pretty annoying southern and me because i end up taking the case off. That's with the d30. Happen to anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
Can I just bring back my D30 to T-mobile store and ask for replacement if it develops crack like someone mentioned? I bought it from the store and have receipt and everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I just bought the D3O flex protect case. The power button is a bit tougher than having no case, but its not unbearable. I actually think that I wont hit the power button by accident any more now.

Case seems ok. It doesnt add much thickness or look to the phone, and I actually think it feels more secure in my hand than not having a case (stock sides feel slippery).

As for cracking.. I dont see how the flex protect case will crack because its flexible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GuestK00468:
Yes none of my flex cases have cracked ( I dont see how they would either ) , but the duel impact hard shells have all cracked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Was just thinking about something, the power button is actually pretty well protected in the D3O case ... lol dropping it on the power button pry wont even turn it on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] l33t p1mp:
I've had my d30 for about 3 weeks now. Already cracked. Going to go to T-Mobile tomorrow and yell at them a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr0wz:
Looks cool..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ijaved:
Just wonder what did they say?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
Nice case but my power button is a pain in the bottom. I like the feel. It's in between tpu and a hard case. I may purchase a diztronic since it is a reliable case to have. I talked to Joel of cruzerlite because he made some awesome cases for the nexus before I traded and his cases are one of a kind. I think he is working on a case for the Note now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Thanks. Just checked and I don't see any markings or scratches on my phone. Had the case for about a month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
Well... Time for a new phone. Gonna try and locate a white one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I actually have those "Generic" cases in both black and clear..... and its not a bad case in terms of design and protection...but when you try to speak on the phone it echoes on the other side because when they designed it they forgot to leave space out for microphone... Its actually pretty bad lol and unusable. Whenever I would answer the phone i would quickly take off the case itself..

Would t-mobile do anything about it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pregistry:
I work for T-mobile...just go show the store manager at your local store and he should take care of it for you. Those shouldn't come apart like that and is definitely a defect. Always ask T-mobile before assuming the worst...you would be surprised what we do for customers sometimes.

wow thanks a lot for the help! I have to admit my local t-mo guy did hook us up with a nice plan when i got my s2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kife42:
use a nail clipper or knife, cut out a small notch. problem solved. i widened the earphone jack at the top too.

honestly i don't know why anyone would pay so much for those d30 cases. they seem to have so many problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
yeah....... I actually used scissors to cut at the bottom for microphones. Yah.... I paid $5 at the pacific mall. LoL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] superuser696:
i have a ton of cases for my phone. the d30 case sucks. it adds a little more protection than tpu but the button functionality blows. the tpu cases are almost unnoticeable. my d30 case isnt a perfect fit.the bottom edge buckles and sometimes exposes the silver ring. but that could just be mine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] z00medu:


No, mines does this as well, and it annoys the hell out of me, because it tends to shift over the mix, so noone can hear you.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Sounds like your case is too big. I have the flex protect and it fits perfectly. I have no idea what would cause this case to buckle because it fits very tightly.

I went to the Tmobile store to buy this D3O case today but decided not to because it was so slippery.

get the flex d3o it's not slippery. $14@ebay.

I did not realize there were two different ones. The one I thought was slippers was the white dual impact case. I will check out the flex case, thanks.

Ice Cream Sandwich's source code has just been unleashed, which means it's time for the folks over at CyanogenMod to saddle up the horses, and get to work. In a Twitter post published on Tuesday, the Mod squad confirmed that it has already begun working on CM9, though it won't be released for another two months. CM8, in case you were wondering, was likely pegged for Android 3.0, but with Google holding tight to its Honeycomb source code, CyanogenMod may just leapfrog it altogether and jump straight to Cloud Nine. We'll all know more, come January.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bdbx18:
I went from a DLEV rom'd Infuse to a stock SR. Since I have a nice setup on my Infuse, I immediately rooted, installed CWM and used Ti to get my apps back. I wanted some resemblance to my previous setup, so after two days, here are my observations:

1. A tiny bit shorter and lighter than the Infuse.

2. The PTA apn was not working for me so I created a new APN based on my previous Infuse setup.

3. I have to get a new SIM and get them to properly provision my account as LTE eventhough I'm not in a LTE region). I was getting at the worst, 1000/180 kbps? This morning, I'm back to about 3.5k/1k *AND* the PTA apn works. Or perhaps ATT fixed the network?

4. Practically all my apps are working, even widget locker, widgets, live wallpaper. Even Pocketcloud. Titanium backup is a lifesaver. Sugarsync needs a re-setup though.

5. Dropped the phone on the 2nd day; this thing is slippery. Quite terrified of letting friends hold the phone. I missed the super thin Incipio Feather case, which they don't make one yet for the Skyrocket.

6. Battery is draining fast; I have Juice Defender, manually set display brightness and the power saving settings going. I've got to go a few days to let it calibrate first.

7. Used Ti to freeze a bunch of bloatware, no issues so far.

8. Internal speaker is louder than the Infuse but no better quality. Voodoo Control 2.1.1 don't work with SR. So external speaker setup don't seem to sound as good as the Infuse.

9. Screen color changes with the viewing angle. I don't remember this happening with the Infuse. No biggie but slightly annoying.

While awaiting a stable cooked rom to come along, here are my current negatives:

1. I wish there is a TSM setup so the status bar can be changed, batt %, no clock e.g. The numeric batt % would be very nice as the batt icon is next to useless in determining how much power is left until it's too late like last night.

2. The boot animation sucks so I'm hoping I don't have to reboot often.

That's it!

+1 from the infuse....and i am happier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Infuse is single.core outdated eol obviously the skyrocket has faaaar better hardware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kwaalude:
i made the same switch from a DLEV Infuse which i loved and which worked flawlessly, to the Skyrocket because LTE was just lit up in Charlotte. i got the white SR and in every way with perhaps the exception of the display and slightly lower battery life, it is head-and-shoulders above the Infuse. GPS locks are nearly instant, and this thing runs through whatever i throw at it and never bogs down. I can't wait to get ICS on this thing.

i am pretty disappointed however in the screen on the SR after coming from such a gorgeous one in the Infuse. under lower light it seem streaky with grays and doesn't seem to have quite the contrast and sharpness the Infuse had.

i dont know if it's worth doing anything about or if this is just a general malady that all SRs suffer from.

all in all, i'm really happy.

I am afraid that this is mission impossible. The only option you have is to try to brick the phone completely which appeared to be a difficult task. Good luck.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
cjward23 said he knew a way to brick the phone, he wouldn't say publicly how to do it (obvious reasoning behind that), but for OP's sake he should try PMing him.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
There is a cmd to brick devices, but it will not work on devices with a fried emmc.

Sorry, there is nothing that I'm aware of that you can do, apart from send it in to HTC and hope for the best. But by the sounds of it htc do not like repairing devices that have the patched revoultionary hboot. With my experience of the HTC Vision where we had no support from revoultionary and just used the leaked eng hboot, when emmc chips did go HTC were always happy to replace.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Right I'll answer my own post!

Basically I got the superboot zip from Paul O'Brien ModaCo page and used the fastboot.exe in the folder of that zip

When my Galaxy Nexus is in bootloader mode, fastboot-windows.exe just sits at "< waiting for device >" and the Windows 7 device manager shows the phone (in bootloader mode) as an unknown device.

Did you manage to find Windows 7 drivers? The r4 OEM USB drivers from Google don't have support for the Galaxy Nexus yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
I had this issue. Some advice on another thread was to use the drivers from PDAnet (or something like that) which worked for me (Win 7 x64). Then you can uninstall the program and the drivers will remain. I'll try to find the link.

Install pdanet, works perfectly

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omadhaun:
I'm curious if anyone has tried to load any of the Adobe tablet apps onto the Kindle Fire, and if so, did they work?

I picked up a Kindle Fire yesterday, but haven't opened it yet, mainly because I don't want to find out the hard way that it won't be able to use awesome tablet apps that are currently only available in Google's Android Market.

I've heard that you can sideload apps on the Kindle Fire, but I'm not sure if that would work in this situation since it is a paid app that requires the Android Market. I don't have any other tablets, and when I went to buy the Photoshop Touch app on the Android Market website, it told me it wasn't compatible with any of my devices (only have Android phones so far).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishfuzz:
I am guessing it would work, but the resolution is going to cause some of the Gui elements to be cut off, just like the HTC Flyer.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes_s:
I tried to install it. It responded with a parsing error. Probably because the Fire is 2.3 and the Photo Shop Touch is only compatable with HoneyComb/ICS
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omadhaun:
Thanks for the answer. Good to know; I'll just have to wait for a port of ICS to the KF before purchasing Photoshop Touch.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpchuckles:
and also, why not just root it? it is really a rather good tablet for it's price once it is rooted.

then you CAN get the android market on it (without having to sideload etc)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdock:
The android market website does say that Photoshop Touch is incompatible with the Fire. It says that Photoshop Express is compatible (that one is in Amazon's appstore, but the Amazon appstore says it's not compatible!) but all those other 9.99 Adobe tablet apps say they're incompatible.
