Can you place the phone with the screen towards your body instead of outwards like the picture on the Otterbox website shows?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Yes you can.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Boot329:
My only gripe about the defender case is that the kickstand(belt clip) feature isn't so stable when using it on portrait or landscape mode. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] penguinfishies:
Looks like the Seidio Surface finally got released? I've been constantly checking on it since I heard about it on the forums. It's almost 50 dollars though.

Won't let me post because I'm new, but I'm sure you could google dailydeal and itll come up. I can't vouch for the site however, not sure how legit it is. Lemme know what you all think!

Seidio Surface Case for $26.95.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] penguinfishies:
Amazon's got the active too, although its out of stock. looks kinda bulky but im liking the kickstand. Also think the rubbery material = better grip vs the surface case's hard plastic. Kept dropping the phone onto my chest this morning using it lying down because I couldnt find a comfortable way to hold it without hitting the super large screen it has xP
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] be23rk:
Yup YUp

I agree. I bought the Defender case as well and ended up switching to a Commuter, with a mirror screen protector. I usually like the Defender Series and I really like the new type of non-stick clear plastic they have on the screen. I just dont like how much dust tends to collect behind the clear plastic because of the cut-out area that is near the top, where your ears goes. I thought I would never say this, but the slim line of the commuter is actually better for this phone in my opinion.

Haven't picked up an Otterbox for my Vivid yet, but the kickstand feature on the Inspire, well... I kept bumping it, and it would lock open while on my belt and fall off. This usually happened in the car, I guess it was the angle my seat belt hit it. Anyway, I clipped the locking tab off with a pair of wire cutters so it would not lock open and fall off my belt.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Devin.Morris.007:
Give it time, it'll be just like the iPhone where you can get on eBay and get any color rubber skin you could ever imagine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] N2itiv:
I bought the defender for my Vivid a couple weeks ago, and while I really like the feel and overall protection the case offers, I noticed that accessing the notification bar or pressing the home key in particular seemed to be very hit-or-miss. The case seemed to not fit well against the screen at the top and bottom, so I disassembled the case to investigate. What I found was that the case is actually slightly too small for the phone! If you take the back off and just lay the phone into the front of the case, it doesn't lay flat in.. and if you push on it, you see the sides of the case flex outward and you get this nice squeaking noise. When you stop pressing, the phone visibly springs back out of the front cover. Has anybody else noticed this, or did I get a deformed case?

Hi all, Yesterday I flashed oxygen and all is fine. Restored apps, sms, contacts etc, happy with it but thought I'd install the dalvik cache script so I'd have a bit more memory. I downloaded file dalvik-cache2sd and put it on sdcard.

Went to clockworkmod, choose zip from sdcard, install zip from sdcard then it starts then I get this:

installing: /sdcard/dalvik-cache2sd-signed.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update package...

Amend scripting (update script) is no longer supported.

Amend script was deprecated by Google in android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted.

I've no idead what this means or what to do next...Any advice anyone...:confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Since version 3 clockworkmod uses a newer updater script. Some scripts are not updated to this version, so you have to flash an older recovery like RMD or 4EXT via fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilborama:
Thanks for advice. I wasn't going to play around changing recoveries because I guess it's not that importart to install the script BUT I went to update my radio and the same message came up. WTF...if I change to this recovery (how can I do it) will I have to change anything else, I guess it means I won't have cwm recovery but amon-ra recovery, am I right. Please guys clarify this for me as getting a little confused... Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilborama:
I'm s-off (revolutionary method)and I found the oxygen dalvik2sdscript no problem, it's in the root of my sd card along with the latest radio...that I can't install. Would it work if I renamed the radio file to update or something similar ? I wonder....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul8944:
Flash the dalvik zip file the same way as you do a rom in recovery

As for the radio file you need to use fastboot. But if you have changed your h-boot make sure it has enough space to flash the radio or you could end up with a permanent brick. I believe you need a min of 25mb but check this before you flash the radio.

Hope this helps

To flash anything like alternative recovery, radio, or hboot it is best to use fastboot (back button and power)

sent from my Oxygen desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
There is absolutely no need to change radio here. Just changing the recovery to 4EXT or RMD (currently the most recommend recoveries) will do the trick. This operation can be done either with fastboot or with Android Flasher.

For fastboot check my guide. For Android Flasher read the opening post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juami:
Diceplayer v 1.7.4 supports Galaxy Nexus.

It take advantage of OMAP4's video decoder.

720p H.264 High profile + DTS/AC3/Flac audio MKV with embedded subtitles works perfectly.

I'll post some test video on next Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianbrain:
YES. YES. YES. That is awesome. My only reservation about the phone was codec support. Thanks for sharing Juami!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veli69:
Awesome try some 1080p stuff. Also try mxplayer if you have the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juami:
mx : not supported version popup

bs and mobo : couldn't play at all

add:

I think devs could not get Galaxy Nexus yet.

I got unreleased Galaxy Nexus for testing. so I could release diceplayer update for Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackout19:
Thanks for the update, been using Diceplayer on my tab 10.1 for a while now and it's been awesome. On the nexus however it seems it's missing some frame rates. Will try it with a few more vids and see how it goes.

Edit: Tried a 720p mkv and it was flawless. Avi's of TV shows are playing back at a low frame rate, and are noticeably choppy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
I can play 10gb 1080p rips without problem, Can't try anything larger as Diceplayer crashes when I try to play over my network so have only been able to play local files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingoid:
Plays local files fine but doesn't go fullscreen - leaves the onscreen buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
VPlayer seems to work nicely :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackout19:
The UI for Vplayer is defo not perfect.. the folders glitch, and the soft buttons stay lit, however the playback is smooth and in sync, so very usable for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juami:
vPlayer have a good sw video decoder(ffmpeg) but

vPlayer can't use HW video decoder except native supported format(mp4).

SW video decoder use higher CPU power than HW decoder and drains battery too fast. and loose a color detail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Koyuki-kun:
Great news. Loved the Dice player on my Asus Transformer. Sold my tablet though so I'm looking forward to using it on the GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juami:
we update diceplayer to support full screen on Galaxy Nexus.

changelog of diceplayer v.1.7.5

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

What's in this version:

Support full screen for Galaxy Nexus

Fix bug that sometimes continuation does not work properly for Galaxy Nexus

Fix bug that some AVI files are not played properly

Fix bug that aspect ratio is abnormal when orientation is changed

Add option that shows audio only files (default off)

Add option that saves the subtitle (default on, can move by touching subtitle while playing)

Fix minor bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SilentMobius:
Has anyone tried playing MKV's on the native ICS media player? I can play aac-audio h.264-video MKVs without installing any additional player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juami:
after Honeycomb, Android supports MKV format ( not perfectly) but audio codec limited to AAC/MP3.

if you want to play AC3/DTS/Flac audio and embedded subtitles, you should install 3rd party player.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baggyb:
Just though id add my findings.

Ive tried dice player but as with Vplayer i have had mixed results.

Some of my Mp4 files play just fine whilst others fail to open. The player just goes back to the andriod home screen. The ones that fail have ac3 audio.

Im guessing its down to the audio codecs required to play the files.

I do like the look and feel of the app though.

Its a shame im having these issues as the galaxy s2 played them all natively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BluechipJ:
Haven't bought Dice Player but I can confirm the trial will playback high profile MKVs in 1080p:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I tried Diceplayer on few local 720p MKV and these play nice.

But two things:

1. My TXT subtitles did not load.

2. When I tried to play the same file from network share, Diceplayer crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I was just able to mount my network share drive via CIFS, so that it appears under /mnt/cifs/share

Then I tried Diceplayer and it did play my 720p MKV in HW with no delay on start.

If it only supported TXT subtitles... :D (it would probably need to handle different formats, as I have noticed sometimes different formats used in TXT file)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NZtechfreak:
Will run my usual batch of test video files through the Nexus and Dice Player in next couple of days as I just got my Nexus. Expect it won't measure up to the Note/SGSII that I'm accustomed to, but if it can handle 720p I'll be happy enough...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
Not sure If I posted this already, but Dice player was able to play 1080p mov trailer in hardware :-) other players either could not play at all or used software and were skipping.

I'm having a weird problem where my 3G toggle widget has become invisible and I can't remove it from the home screen. It happened last night and it showed back up after I rebooted. I left it like that but it disappeared again, I've tried rebooting a few times but it is still not showing up :(

This is very annoying because now there is one empty space on my homescreen I can't do anything with!? I've tried googling for solutions but havent found anything useful?

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried setting it to 3g only, then rebooting? Maybe it disappears if you're on 4g?

Nope didnt work. I 'm using the international Razr anyway so no 4G.

I'm tempted to do a factory reset because I've been looking for a solution for hours with nothing working. I've also noticed that the screen becomes unresponsive during charge. Not completely frozen but every action takes a few tries

Brilliant that worked! Have to set up my home screens again but I can live with that.

Still contemplating sending the phone back because its not charging off usb cable and when charging off the mains screen is unresponsive and erratic. Seems to be common issues as far as my googling can tell?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
This issue is caused by thr stock launcher. I have a widget that does not work at all on stock launcher and works perfdctly fine with lpp and go ex.

On lpp the world clock doesn't work and on gomex favourite contacts don't work.

P.S. I have no idea what kind of solution is taking the phone back, an obsession in the US.

edit - oops, my bad, corrected

In the android nand section, titled something like "clockworkrecovery, nand,SD, ver 5.0.2 yes/no stable" or something, (currently top post

Get both

recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip

and

recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_CWR.zip

Extract and copy the SD card ver onto SD card (copy the two files to SD, done)

And then copy the whole cwr.zip to SD card too.

Then, into magldr, "ad SD" will boot into the cwm files you placed on SD, and choose instal zip from SD,,, choose zip,, and select the cwm.zip you also placed on SD.

This will write the cwm image into the recovery partition without reflashing the cwm partition layout, so nothing lost.

[02 Nov][RECOVERY][NAND|SD][cLK|MAGLDR] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 "YES/NO" STABLE

download the first two links

flash_image.zip

and

recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip

unpack teh two files from recovery_5.0.2.6_leo_sd.zip onto your sd card, and copy the whole flash_image.zip to sd card.

enter magldr

select 'boot ad sd' which will start cwm but from your sd card, from there you choose 'instal from zip - select zip' and select the flash_image.zip, which will reinstall cwm into the recovery partition on your nand, and now you should find that magldr 8 - ad recovery now works, and your rom hasnt been touched. plus you now have the latest cwm.

Using Pandora over wifi on my HTC EVO, my 'Network Counter' app shows that it has used 80 MB inbound, and 76 MB outbound :eek:

As time goes on, the outbound continues to keep up with the inbound, waited a bit, and it's now 96 / 91, so it does not appear to be a one time thing where the app sends out a bunch of data then just receives.

Has anyone else noticed similar?

Anyone have any idea WHY it would need to send so much data out?

I try not to be overly paranoid about things, but this just looks extremely fishy to me. At best, it's a huge waste of data, and at worst, a security / privacy issue of some sort...

The Pandora app I'm running I downloaded from the Market.

The app I'm using to track data usage appears to be accurate for other apps, does not double count up/down data elsewhere.

Sorry for my inexperience with this particular topic, I'm really new to this rooting and customization process with evo phones, but anyways I was trying to figure out how do I properly install a theme on my phone? I currently have the infected synergy rom running on my EVO 3d but i wanted to install or flash the red hot synergy theme/skin to my phone, ive already downloaded the file for it and I recently attempted to flash but it didn't follow through is there other tools I have to have on my phone to run this theme? is this theme even compatible with the infected synergy rom? If not what rom would allow me to install the red hot synergy theme ? What could it be cuz I'm confused and very new to this ..
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
it's best to ask this question in the theme thread. If it's JUST a skin it should install as a normal app. if it's a full theme it should simply flash in recovery, just make sure it's correct for your phone/carrier/ROM/etc.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holmes108:
Hey guys.

I know there are a lot of threads out there on this, but there is also a fair amount of conflicting information. Also, one thread I found seems to suggest the Captivate may work differently than other phones. That particular thread (listed below) seems to suggest the IMEI is directly tied to the model #, and editing the NV_DATA.BIN will fix the IMEI, even though it doesn't generally work on other devices)

My IMEI has turned into a generic one (quite some time ago, and I have no idea exactly when). I do not have a backup of the EFS folder. My phone works just fine, and I know for a fact I'm never returning it under warranty.

Is there any reason for me to care about this? Can my phone suddenly stop working one day because of this?

If I SHOULD be concerned, some threads suggest it's lost forever... some say flashing back to stock fixes it, and others have more complicated methods.

One promising method I've found involves a few simple edits to the NV_DATA.BIN file, but the thread is specific to the ATT version. I have the Rogers I896. This is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162&highlight=rogers

Again, if I should be concerned, are there any fellow Rogers users that would be willing to share the following Hex lines from the NV_DATA.BIN so I can try the method in that thread?

The lines are:

00188000

00188008

00188010

00188018

00188020

Thanks for any insight.
