I know they look really bad ass, there are a lot of colors available for the international gs2 but nothing available for our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedigitel:
Wow, I REALLY hope someone makes this for our phones. I'll take one in blue please!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hcrap:
I was hoping for a rubberized back plate

Really hate the stock back plate, so slippery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xbiker321:
Same, this is the first phone that I have to use a case for. The phone kept slipping out of my hands..no good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I put a carbon fiber Skinomi skin on my phone, it's sticking pretty good so far, and I'm impressed by how well it fits, it actually does look good in a way that I dare say classes up the phone...

But I'd ditch my back door in a heartbeat, I think a metal door would look cool with the carbon fiber skin on the rest of the phone.

Fingers crossed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
This is the first phone I have used without a case. Each to their own.

Though I would buy that metal plate in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsims85:
I imagine it will only be a matter of time before its available for the epic touch. At least I hope so..*crosses fingers *
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] endofwed:
still no? :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Since its not out now (I didn't search so maybe it is actually...) I'd say it's never coming, sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spzuniga:
In 5 minutes of searching I couldn't find it for the E4GT. Oh well, it's a good price on the international version, wish they would offer it for ours.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyBigs:
Keep in mind that the above items are metal backed *cases* rather than a metal back door.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:
Yes i know, i only want it to share to se if someone has it and give me his opinion about the case

hey thanks man, I search eBay every now and then but have only ever seen the black, good find I'll be ordering one of those.... thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdizzleh85:
Not sure

I have the black one and it is cheaply made and does not protect your phone at all but if you are just looking for a thin decent looking case then it is nice. Just not for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
I've been way to busy to post these pictures lately but finally got some time.. I used the backing off the barely there aluminum case and spray glued it to my original battery door (makes it a little less thin but so worth it imo) then I took the bumper case that has the clear plastic on the back, cut out most of it but left some for support purposes, spray painted it black and voila La! Lol I like the look of it anyway...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grogck:
Agreed. I've dropped this phone more in 2 months of ownership than I did in nearly 2 years with the original Epic.

I don't want a full on case though as I use the official Samsung cradles/docks at work and in the car. I haven't found a more grippy battery cover yet (and I'm HORRIBLE at installing screen protectors so I don't think any adhesive solutions are the ticket for me.) Anyone else know of one?

At this point I'm almost thinking about popping the door off and trying some Plasti-Dip spray. Worst case scenario is I botch it and pick up another stock back for $5 off Amazon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Actually, I recommend popping it off and hitting it with a few different grits of sandpaper. Once you smooth it out you can make it feel almost soft-touch.

Also, am I the only one that thinks the texture on the back of the plate would be great for grip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Would be sweet for a metal battery cover...can't stand the battery cover on the white version

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KidxKoala:
So I have currently installed SD3 ROM after flashing my phone because I screwed it up and I thought I had everything figured out. Now when I try and download something from the market it will not let me. So if anyone could give me any insight that would be awesome.

[Droid X General] wmdnc1990:
My brother has a stock Droid X and the bottom centimeter of his screen lags or becomes unresponsive... Lines will appear through like static and sometimes it just goes black...

Any one have any ideas?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Sounds like hardware failure.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chowlz:
I highly doubt there is, but I was wondering since root has been achieved, if FLAC support can be possible or does the ROM have to be recompiled to support it? I know 3.1+ supports it natively, but since the bootloader is still locked at the moment...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I use poweramp to listen to flac formatted music on my phone running GB. So you could give it a try on the NT and see if it works.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PrinceMorganti:
i use power amp on my nook color running stock 1.2 fw rooted... so power amp should work for flac files on the nook tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Chowlz:
I know poweramp works and plays the FLAC files, but I'm wondering if it recognizes FLAC as a music file. From what I remember when I had an Inspire 4g, android won't recognize it (unless it's cyanogenmod) so you don't see it in the music library from android or poweramp (unless it changed and they made their own library reading function/database).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
Use the folder view instead of library in PowerAmp.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
All my flac files show up in poweramp library. They are sitting in a folder on my sd card called Music.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PrinceMorganti:
there is also an app on the marketplace called extended media scanner. the latest power amp also can read FLAC via its library, independent of the Android OS.

I am using power amp on the nook color, with flac. one piece of advice i have for using the older version. put the flac files on your SD card rather than the EMMC
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ekerbuddyeker:
so far all I can find is non us sellers, which means a long wait time til delivery. Anyone know of any us sellers of note batteries ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] JLG1985:
Umm, You do remember...

Dude, you do remember these aren't available in the United States and won't be for some time right? That's why you, me, - hell everybody - had to buy imports in the first place. That is unless you live across the pond somewhere.

Right now Expansys - U.S. has them available for pre-order for $36.99 or so. That's the absolute cheapest I've seen an 2,500 Whr OEM battery anywhere!

I pre-ordered 1 hoping Samsung will eventually release the NFC chip-enabled batteries for the Note since it' s supposed to be a U.S. only option for the time being. Although I usually keep 3 batteries on hand I won't be doing that with these puppies. I rotate them every 2 weeks to keep each battery fresh and so they receive roughly the same amount of use and shelf life.

I'm sticking with 2 standard OEM batteries in case they do make the NFC Batteries available to us in the Unites States. I don't feel like stuck with extras when the GT-N7000' successor is released which I'm sure is already in the pipeline - much in the same way Asus had done with the Transformer line.

While Samsung knew they had a winner in the Galaxy Note I don't think they anticipated this big of a success we knuckleheads provided them. Especially with us throwing down the amount of $$$ we did amidst these hard times just for the privilege to own one.

But the greatest surprise is we're not bound to a friggin' 2 year contract and we'll be able to buy a Quad, a Quin, or more - Core SuperPhone sooner than we would've been able to do before!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] maxh:
There's at least one US seller on Ebay selling aftermarket batteries for the Note. There are a ton based in Hong Kong with prices averaging ~$5 per battery after shipping, but like you said, it takes 2 or 3 weeks for delivery usually. Use the tools on the left side of the screen to narrow the search results down to US sellers only. It'll cost a little more, but still dirt cheap compared to an OEM battery, and like I said, there's at least 1 US seller, as I recently received mine from them.

The cheapo copies claim 2600 mAH, 100 more than OEM, but I'd say they're roughly the same capacity, maybe a little less. I guesstimated the capacity of mine to be 70%-80% that of my OEM battery, but that was on the first charge/discharge cycle. Still some seriously good value.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Tiamath99:
What does the note not being officially released in the US have to do with any US store having Chinese batteries for the note?

I suppose the same thing that did UK vendors buying weeks ago batteries from Chinese manufacturers and selling from the UK so the shipping being shorter is being done by US vendors.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayint Naung:
Hi I'm sorry if this kind of question has been asked before.

All I wanted to know is what's the technical reason that:

We, users, cannot install font in android without root? Any technical reason or anything at all for this?

AFAIK, you can install font in samsung galaxy phones.(apk ). :confused:

Thanks,

Bayint
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
The technical reason is the simple fact that to change anything in the system folders you need read/write permissions. You get these permissions with root access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_76:
There is no technical reason that applications cannot use different fonts and many do (ereaders, GoSMS, etc.) Google has not defined a font directory on the SD card to standardise user installed fonts to where more apps let you choose your own font.

Most commercial operating systems depend on font metrics to correctly display Widgets (like buttons and text boxes) at a specific size with all the text correctly visible. This is why you cannot change the system font.

Window managers on Linux do not have set metrics that text must fit inside. The text dictates the widget size. This is more flexible but even to the point of unwanted results, like window titles and buttons so large the content of a window is obscured.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_76:
Which part was senseless?

What was senseless was your response.

Q"Why can't I change fonts without root access?"

A"Well you can change fonts but you need root access."

I told him why root was required. You just rephrased his question as an answer.

Well, that didn't work...

Drat, my green lens Defy is gubbed :(

I installed the update and rebooted. The Motorola logo came up, and the blue LED came on. I left it to continue booting but it never got past the Motorola logo. I had to pull the battery to get any kind of response out of it.

Rebooting again, I called up the bootmenu from the blue LED. I set it to boot using 2nd init and rebooted again. Same symptoms.

I don't have the greenbreadmod .zip to hand to apply that, nor do I have a .zip for the previous version of the 2nd init bootloader.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Phone is working again :)

The nandroid backup I took before flashing the new zip has fixed it so I'm back where I was. I thought that restoring the nandroid wouldn't replace the 2nd init but it obviously did. However, if this updated 2nd init won't work on my phone, that means that I can't install MS2Ginger 2.1 or the official CM7 - doesn't it?

P.S. It it me, or has the forum search tool disappeared from the drop-down list above the forum title header bar?
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Had another go...

I managed to locate a copy of the greenbreadmod zip (version 1.1, right?) So I decided to have another go with this mod.

Rebooted, called up boot menu from the blue LED and went to recovery (I'm running the latest Market version of Defy 2ndInit.) Installed bootmenu1.0.4+CWM5.0.3.1+modules.zip. Rebooted: stuck on Motorola logo :(

Pulled & replaced battery. Powered up. Called up boot menu from blue LED. Noticed that boot was set to "Normal". Went to recovery and installed greenbreadmod zip. Rebooted: stuck on Motorola logo :(

Pulled & replaced battery, and powered up. Called up boot menu from blue LED. Went in to boot menu and set type to "2nd init". Rebooted: stuck on Motorola logo :(

Pulled & replaced battery, and powered up. Called up boot menu from blue LED. Went in to boot menu and set type to "stock". Rebooted: stuck on Motorola logo :(

Pulled & replaced battery, and powered up. Called up boot menu from blue LED. Noticed that boot was still set to "2nd init". Went to recovery and restored previous nandroid. Rebooted: OK :)

Why is my phone sticking at the Motorola logo with the new boot menu - is there a step I am missing? As I say, unless I can get this working I can't install MS2Ginger 2.1 or CM7.

If it makes any difference, my standard ROM at the moment is walter79's "Defy+ 2.3.4-134 DFP 74, blur, 720p,panorama, 1%" ROM which I find stable, fast and easy on the battery. I'd just like to have a go with his latest ROM, and official CM7!
[Defy Android Development] pedrodh:
I've included this changes on the SndDefy installation tool, now version 2.0.
[Defy Android Development] ejstubbs:
Good work!

I tried this on my phone and the result was the same: always stuck on the Motorola logo :(

I found a nandroid taken when I was running stock Froyo and restored that. Installing and running your tool, I was able to get the phone to reboot :)

It looks like I will have to start from my stock Froyo ROM if I am to get MS2Ginger or CM7 installed and running, rather than walter's Defy+ GB ROM. Well, that's what I'm going to test next anyway...
[Defy Android Development] crakeron:
Hi, i'm ruuning CM7.1 and i cannot get this to work...i get bootloops everytime i install the new CWM 5.0.3.1. Can someone help me?

i have tried:

installing from zip "bootmenu + CWM 5.0.3.1+modules" -> boot: 2nd init and normal -> bootloop

downloading 2nd init.apk and installing from there. CWM works, but on reboot i get a bootloop

i also wipe cache + dalvik, still get no result :(

Is it that i allready have CM7 on my phone? It shouldn't be a problem i'm expecting..
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
If you have CM7 installed then you also have the latest bootmenu and CWM and you should NOT reinstall it. This assumes you have a recent CM7 build installed (e.g. update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed or a later nightly).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmchssc:
I notice that you're located in Boston. This is currently an issue that a lot of people in Boston (myself included) have been experiencing since the 17th. I've called Sprint numerous times about it, but none of the reps I've spoken to knew anything about the issue. There's currently a thread about it on the Sprint forums, but I can't post the link since I don't have enough posts. Just Google "4G Connection Issue - Boston 11.17.2011".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Yep, I was in Boston all last week and starting the 17th I could connect to 4G but had no actual data. I thought it was a problem with my phone but as soon as I got home to Chicago I had no issues with 4G.
