Glad otterbox and ballistic went onboard with this.

The $70 price tag is still pretty steep....

For people who are buying this, how much thicker does the KF get with these cases on?

My phone has a tank case, but I'm not sure if my KF needs one aswell.

Defender series

There is an otterbox defender for $70 :(

[Kindle Fire Accessories] That Baker Guy:
i like ottexbox, the commuter series, defender is too bulky, that being said. i do have the sedio active case which is 20 bucks cheaper. 50 bucks. i recommend it, i have had it for 2 months now i paid 35 dollars for the case and the stand on amazon.

heres the website. its the exact same thing as the otterbox. just reasonable.

In your opinion what's the best ROM for nexus s and why?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.b93:
Right now Oxygen 2.3.2 Workds great for me. But CM7 and NSCollab are also 2 very great Roms. In the end you have to test yourself which Rom fits you best..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3rk:
for whatever reason, anything CM-based has always run clunky for me on this phone. bugless beast is good, but imo oxygen is your best bet.

i run carbon co2 1.1, which actually runs a lot smoother for me than oxygen despite it just being a themed oxygen mod.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
there is no best , everyone has his/her own damands and needs

also , every ROM has its own good point and weak point , all depends on what you want

-------------

for the moment , i like MIUI brainmaster , good UI although kills my battery very fast but i have additional one , so i wouldn't worry about it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildside84:
i have noticed the same thing about cm-based roms
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naa Laa:
Have you tried Trinity TEUV kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caranlor:
I use and recommend Oxygen 2.3.2 with latest SG-11UV kernel. Stable, great battery life (with 200-1100 lazy) and 4600+ Quadrant score fast @ the available 1320MHz

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefsfempire:
I prefer stock rooted with a BLN-supported kernel (using Peter Alfonso's).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
well , no completely , i had almost every kernel in dev section flashed and used about a day or so , can't really tell how much good or bad were them during that short of time .

talon , franco , netarchy, lucid , matr1x , trinity , peter alfonso ...etc
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irizwan:
Peter's and Trinity are your best bet with battery life and performance =] you should try another ROM

as for me i run smoothly on a CM kang + THERMITE
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
thanks for advice, I was using stock with talon kernel, battery was pretty good,but since I brought second battery so i no longer worry about it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinlux:
Hi There,

Generally there's no "Best Rom"... every rom has its pro & cons as well as its own features ... I suggest you to try a couple of them mentioned on this thread, all of them are really valid, result of great work of many and skilled developers.

To me, KelLMSKing MIUI 2.6.2 ( http://goo.gl/oMIiE ) runs really fast on my phone more then CM7.1 with which I had many problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
The latest Oxygen release to me is the best. Very fast. Rock solid stable. Great battery life.

It dies nit add anything fancy, just keeps the look and feel of stock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Yesterday I decided to give oxygen another look and to me it takes too many things out of stock. You can't hold press to change the wall papers, the phone icon in the launcher is not as nice looking as stock, the music app is out dated and it won't update to the new one you have to just have 2 music apps and there was a few other things that bugged me also but those were the top 3 I can think of.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:

Ditto. I love the CM ROMS, but there seems always to be a slight hesitation and "jerkiness" with screen transitions. Subtle, but noticeable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icecoldmeat:
Installed the new Carbon ROM of Jonathan Grigg.

It's rock stable like Oxygen because it's and build off,

but Jonathan created it's own theme for it.... a mix of Oxygen and ICS.

I like it, so give it a try.

I really like using Cyanogenmod Nightlies. May not be the most stable ROM but it is fast abd cool.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiderOnSuzuki:
For me, waiting on ICS, is MIUI from Miui-France.

Has anyone been successful in porting the CM7 Mattedblues theme to Bi-winning v3? Ive seen a few posts about attempts, but nothing successful. Are there any similar themes for bi-winning v3?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] itsLYNDZ:
anything? I saw some attempts
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bfranklin1986:
it's really kind of a pain in the ass because thanks to touchwhiz you have to go through and rename alot of the icons and move them around the twframework.res. Porting a theme from say the captivate or i900 can be as simple as copy and paste
[HTC EVO 3D] shoffman00:
When I rooted my device, I installed Clockworkmod instead of th TWRP. I have been reading that Team Win's recovery is superior to Clockwork. For this reason, I am interested in transitioning to TWRP. Are there any additional steps which need to be taken, or may I install it according to the instructions provided.

Thanks!

Steven
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
The general instructions will get you by ok.

Clockwork has improved & is good if you like ROM Manager. It had a so-so history with wiping.

TeamWin's has an awesome Flash/Zip queue for multiple file flashes. I went TWRP for that feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:

Thanks for the replies! I just wanted to make sure no files from CWM would linger if I switched.

Thanks!

[HTC EVO 3D] HSadler93:
Nope, from what I understand your CWM backups will not work though
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yep. CWM backups are the raw .img files. Teamwin uses a slightly different format which is supposed to be better/faster.

[HD7 General] yosagojimbo:
I've had my HD7 since launch day in Oct 2010 and been happy so far but I'm getting fed up waiting for the internet tethering option now (unlocked HD7 using o2 sim).

I know it might be off topic but does the lumia have the tethering option enabled?

btw, I had a conversation with HTC asking them where the upgrade is and got this reply

"Thank you for your email. I understand your disappointment and I'm sorry for not having any more information on the matter, if and when HTC will release this update for unlocked and unbranded devices it will be announced on the HTC Facebook page. I would advise to check there for any upcoming news relating to the specific update you wish your device to be updated to. I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again. If this response has resolved your query, and you have no further questions please close this ticket by following the link below. Upon closure of the ticket you will be invited to complete our Customer Satisfaction Survey which should take no more than 1 minute to complete"

[HD7 General] Snake.:
it has nothing to do with 7740, most of us already recieved the latest OS update...
[HD7 General] gooselk:
Hi,

same here. Unbranded european HD7 and got the 7740 a few days ago but still no firmware update. I got a ticket opened with the HTC support and they told me that it may take up to 4 months (!) to get all phones updated. I think as soon as they deliver the update to microsoft for distribution to the customers they have no longer influence on when a certain phone gets the update. That's why they told me this rediculous time.

I prepare myself for waiting a bit longer now as MS is still busy delivering the OS update and I believe that they will deal with the manufacturer updates once thats done.

Cheers ... gooselk
[Kindle Fire General] Bohemian:
While putting on a screen protector, I noticed one of the corners a 'sensor lens' under the glass. I wonder if it has all the hardware necessary to use it and just no support in stock rom or if it is just a hardware stub and not functional?
[Kindle Fire General] dbdynsty25:
I could have sworn that when I setup my two devices initially that there was a check box for the auto-display brightness, but after the mandatory software update, it was gone. So maybe there was a bug that they are working on so they just disabled it for the time being until it's fixed.
[Kindle Fire General] dnlsmy:
Yeah, they've shut off Auto Brightness for some reason now...
[Kindle Fire General] orangeagent:
Yeah, I noticed this as well. The demo Fire at my local Staples even has an option for auto brightness, but when I opened mine and it updated, that option went away. I guess they were having issues of some sort and disabled it for now, but I can't imagine them not enabling it in the future.
[Kindle Fire General] elmuchogrumpy:
I see it too. It's strange that no one has said anything about it and even iFixit didn't mention it in their teardown of the Kindle Fire. I hope that it's something that Amazon will enable in the future.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
perhaps it was just not working correctly in the prior builds. i'm sure it'll be re-enabled in future builds :D
[Kindle Fire General] pedroren:
Confirmed

Confirmed, it's a light sensor, just got a 6.0 Kindle Fire, found the Auto Brightness option in Display settings.

When turned ON, the display dims whenever I cover the sensor with my finger.
[Kindle Fire General] bluenadas:
Until you upgrade to the latest release
[Kindle Fire General] Rubarb:
Having upped from a Kindle 2G - 3G - Kindle Fire I always have the brightness set to the lowest possible now on Fire - hurting my eyes but then hours of rooting etc. may impact that too...

[Windows Phone 7 General] Ludacris:
I am sure that there would not be to much code to handle but you would require an iphone 4S for the use of the application as every request is bound to your iPhones UUID and Apple will much likely ban the UUID if it is used on somewhat, lets say 1000 devices

Not impressed

I actually got to play with siri on a friends iPhone yesterday and I was really not that impressed, its cool and all but it couldn't pick up certain nick names in contact lists that my WP7 could (we have common friends so some of our contacts match)

There are other things its clearly superior at, but for me at least I use the speech to text function for work while driving and I need it to be accurate or I will be ripping my hair out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
I'm confused - I thought Siri was just a copy of the voice commands already available on Android and WP7? That's what I keep hearing - that is doesn't add anything new, it's just a rip-off, it doesn't work well, our voice commands work better anyway etc etc.

So what exactly is the point of porting it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ludacris:
The "new" Features are that Siri is a chatbot combined with Voice Recognition Software. You can ask siri if you would need an umbrella and it interprets that question as "will it rain today", checks up the weather for your Location and tells you that it wont rain trough the sentence lets say "no, you can safely let your umbrella at home."

There also is the fun part of it - that most chatbots do have aswell. If you ask Siri if it wants to marry you, it will tell you that its single user license does not allow marriage or partnership with human beeings.

Thats all the fuzz about it ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesDax:
It's the chatbot function that I'm intrested in. I like the idea of the device understanding your input and responding intelligently. I know it's just fluff but I like fluff so sue me. lol

As far as voice recognition and speech to text functions I'm perfectly happy with what WP devices can do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] suoko:
As far as i need, i'd add the "navigate to somewhere" voice command only in order to start either bing maps or 5$ navigation turn by turn app
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Here is my social observation for the day:

It is amazing when we watch SciFi movies that depict a society where man interacts with machine on a personal level and we leave with a sense of disbelieve remarking "oh, that would never happen!" only to see it unfold in our society today.

Fifteen years ago if you wanted to get into contact with someone you called them on the telephone. The telephone was the natural progression to sending a written message, whether it be by carrier pidgeon or US Postal Service. Facebook chat is not a natural progression. Yes, it is more efficient, but if we were all about efficiency we would never be taking reading material into the restroom. We would not spend 4 hours inside a building, playing terrible music at deafening volumes, paying $6 for watered down alcoholic beverages to meet what is likely to be an incompatible mate.

Why on earth would someone prefer to say "Do I need my Umbrella today?" as opposed to simply saying "Weather" or clicking on the weather icon/app/widget? Are we so distance from human interaction that we need to make friends with our phones?

Life must really suck when the highlight of the day includes asking a phone for a good knock-knock joke.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Entegy:
Because "Do I need an umbrella today?" is more natural than yelling "Weather" at someone. Saying just "Weather" is jerky and weird. Saying "Siri, weather" might make more sense in public since someone will most likely understand you are talking to your device. But we are encouraged to not prelude with "Siri", we are encouraged to talk to it like a human, because it's what we already know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Exactly. People tend to think in conversational thought fragments, even when not speaking. The appeal of Siri is that you don't need to make any conscious distinction between how you naturally think and speak, and the command syntax required by the device. They are one and the same.

Sorry if that "sucks" for some people but, well, that's life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It has a lot of use. You obviously have not used it for any decent amount of time, or been around someone who does.

Also, Siri's voice recognition accuracy is beyond what preceeding offerings provided. It uses the best of Nuance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
While I think it's a "cool" feature, I wouldn't see myself using full sentences with my phone. The reason I love WinPhone so much is because of the ease of one glance, one word ("answer"/"ignore") and easy search. Though, having an option of both worlds would be great, if TellMe acted identically to Siri, you'd be seeing greatly different reactions here, and I mean towards the negative spectrum.

I have to agree with nick in that I prefer to say "Weather" or "WeatherLive" than to have to ask questions. I currently answer my phone with my voice, I honestly don't care if I look crazy to my surroundings lol. Siri, while amazingly cool because it brings HAL into your world, is more of a marketing ploy than an actual feature, like having it say it was at the spa when the servers disastrously crashed. There was a thread that made comparisons to Kinect when it came out, and people criticized Kinect because it did the same thing (or was capable of it) but used short-words rather than a conversation approach, which I thought was crazy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
(remove offensive quoted material)

RoboDad, my attempt at humour may have been misplaced; I did not intend to offend. The Apple ads are portraying the iPhone as a companion, just like Fiya is suggesting. When a phone becomes a companion then I believe we have extreme societal issues. I already believe the social networking era is a plague.

I get the point about naturally speaking to the phone to simulate regular conversation, but for the exact same reason I do not want to have to say "I'm making a left turn at the next intersection" to have my car turn on the appropriate indicator light, is the exact same reason why I do not want to say "Precious, will I be able to play golf on saturday?"

Is there substance in asking a phone to marry its user? Or if one needs an umbrella? Is asking for an umbrella vs what the weather is like (so rain is the only type of inclimental weather?) an effective question?

Android - Swipe to unlock. Look at weather widget. Oh I need an umbrella.

Windows Phone - Swipe to unlock. Look at weather tile. Oh I need an umbrella.

Seems to me like its another play with your phone addon. If someone wants a phone that they can socially interact with autonomously then Siri makes sense. To me the idea is nonsense.

And how am I supposed to start a conversation with the pretty girl in the sexy jogging outfit that does laps in the park every morning at 5:30am while I am on the bench drinking a beer?

"Think it will rain tomorrow?"

"Go ask Siri you creep!"
[Windows Phone 7 General] htc9420:
''go ask SIRI, you creep...'':D

What's all the hype with SIRI? How come this feature ( really old) became mother of all trolls in one overnight?

The big step everybody is praising is not the IoS but the Apple servers that do the ''contextual'' recognition. The app itself just relays some bits to the servers...and articulates the answer back to the iEars...

Afaik, FBI and Homeland Sec had this contextual recognition running for millions of calls a decade ago...just like XP Tablet Edition was running then, InkSeine -from MS also- had gestures in 2006.

Siri is just the latest item on the ''newly invented, breaktrought, blah-blah-blah'' list, preceded by out-of-this-world ( some prefer to call them miracles) features: touchscreen, swipe-to-unlock, camera on the phone, front camera on a phone, videocall, 3G:eek:,....
[Windows Phone 7 General] nohbahdi:
It's already integrated into Windows Phone and it's called "Tell Me" press and hold the windows button and you have voice commands for app launching, speed dialing, and many other features!
[Windows Phone 7 General] htc9420:
...and many, many other features in 2015!:cool: so let me enumerate what we've got right now: Call, Redial, FIND-bing feature, Open/Start, TEXT, Press, Save.

...it should be called "tell me ONLY 10 things" as in I CANNOT TELL THE WP7 to send an EMAIL...oh man.... how this TellMe is helping me when I say OPEN ALARMS and then I need to " digitally'' input the time? saving me from two gestures, right?
