I'm all for people protecting their investments, but I really think Marware are taking advantage here. $45 is nearly 25% of the cost of the hardware. It certainly seems to be the Monster Cable of cases! :)

The KF has a rubberized back, and Gorilla Glass, so the only real reason for having a case is for the stand, and for that you can buy cases for less than $10

Each to their own I guess, and I'm pleased that people are generally happy with it, but watch this video if you don't believe how protected this thing is!

That video makes me feel better about having nothing on my fire.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] butterflygirl:
I think it is interesting that the guy who made the video had it in the marware case.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] iDylan1357:
it feels/works great, but $45 is kinda ridiculous. mine was $41 less
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Thelgow:
Didnt see the video yet but I can attest to how well Gorilla glass is. My galaxy s phone has it, and Ive had it for a little over a year now, no case or so, just a hip pouch.

There is only 1 scratch on it, at the bottom near the home button, and it was there when I bought it used from someone. Only now I'm getting 2 scratches on the plastic frame, still nothing on the glass.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] pawpawpaw:
I wasn't planning on getting a case because it's pretty obvious how rugged the KF is, but my brother got me the green leather Marware case and it really is nice. I feel like my KF truly is bulletproof now, lol.

Would I spend 25% of the cost of a KF on one? Not a chance. I don't think cases should ever be more than like $15. I ran onto the same issue with my OG nook and it was super annoying.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Totòòò:
so today the battery died and I plugged in the cable to recharge the phone and when I went back to turn it on I noticed it wasn't starting. Then I noticed it was on but in mode recovery and I can barely see the display because the light is so low. I restored it to a previous rom and once I disconnect the charging cable it does the same thing, shuts down and starts in recovery mode once I try to start it...I guess is not roms fault since I tried 2 different roms, the revolution one and the quicksense one..

Hi, at all!

I have already tested a lot of ROM's and am very contented with the work of DutchDanny.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Now I have installed the "BinDroid RDS 2.3.5 V2.1" since some time and have updated two days ago on "BinDroid RDS 2.3.5 V2.2.1"(with full wipe / cache /dalvik cache).

What has struck me immediately and also in the last meet has confirmed, the signals from the Radio is about two bars lower (now: 2 bars, befor: 4 bars)!

Also the reach of WiFi has drastically sunk.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Could somebody already observe this?

Does flash another Radio bring remedy, or what can i do?

Kind regards

Hi,

When going back from any application to the launcher. I have to wait 3 until 10 sec. Until the icons are displayed. I tried keep launcher in memory on and off. I tried also supercharger v6. Miui is bulletproof. I formated the sd and I have done a full wipe. Not only incremental. Always the described issue. Any ideas? Additional problem is in some applications clicking the hardware back button it jumps two steps back not only one.

Any ideas? Thanks

Have you tried using SetCPU? Also, try using a task manager to see what's eating your *cpu* (not RAM) and try to kill it.

Did it run slow when it was freshly installed?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tomtom72:
Setcpu not used,because of tsubus kernel and oc/uv bester app. At the moment everything is on 806mhz
[G2 and Desire Z General] tomtom72:
Cant upload screenshot right now. Runs maps all the time? Is it standard. Gps off and wlan off
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
Are you running anything that hijacks the launcher process? QuickDesk? WidgetLocker? Check bOOM STICK in v6 and see if you see multiple launcher processes. That's what happened to me.. it was saying my launcher was bullet proof but there were multiple processes and it was still getting killed.

Also, of course, make sure you don't have any auto-killers enabled.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
Hmm, maybe try changing your room groupings to #5 or #6 and your launcher type to bullet proof. that's what I've found works for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tomtom72:
Hi,

It was a setup in the spare parts. it acivity process managment. Option was aggresiv, changing to normal makes the launcher smooth.

Thanks a lot

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa710:
Hi,

My first flash...hence looking for some advice/noob steps to get through it.

I have a 2.1 captivate () intend to go from 2.1 to 2.3.4 using Windows vista and possibly Heimdall...using the following

I figured I need to flash GB bootloaders and stock UCKH3 2.3.4 hence will use the package in the below thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238093

Have been reading for 2 days now....But I cant figure out the steps for Heimdall ...have gone through many thread and there is talk about partitions and setting to true in the table etc...and placing the ROM in the inbuilt SD Card (but the package above has everything and no need to do that....?)

All this confusing for me...and not able to make out the precise steps to take...

Appreciate any help to get the steps (for noob) or please point me to a thread which does so....

Also, do I need to backup anything at ROM/firmware level apart from my app/contacts/images data

Sincerely appreciate any help here...

Also and importantly...phone is unlocked and rooted....hope will be able to retain both...Thanks.

Thanks....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Simple steps:

1. Install Titanium Backup. Once it is installed, run a backup of all user apps and data (under menu-batch).

2. Backup your /efs folder. There are several ways to do this:

--> Get Root Explorer (or similar root-level explorer) in the Market. Then copy the /efs folder to a safe place on your computer.

--> Using ADB (part of the Android SDK), type the command "adb pull /efs" (without quotes).

3. Download the rom that you want to flash to your computer. We'll come back to this.

4. Run the Heimdall One-Click you linked to on your computer. Let it finish installing all the drivers it wants to install.

5. Put your phone in Download mode (From a powered-off state, hold Vol+ and Vol-, and the insert your USB cable).

6. Start the Heimdall One-Click again, and let it sit at the "flash" page.

7. Hook up your phone to the USB cable. Check to make sure Heimdall detects it (turns green).

8. Hit "Flash". Wait. Let both the computer and phone do what they want until you are fully rebooted into Android.

9. Flash a One-Click Heimdall of a kernel with CWM or a full One-Click rom with CWM (in my signature, if you need it).

10. With Android fully booted, copy the Rom you downloaded earlier to your internal SD card (not the microSD that you can remove).

10. Reboot into CWM (hold Vol+/Vol-/Power). Choose "install from SD card", and find the rom you downloaded. Choose to install that.

If you have more questions, please post back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa710:
thank you very much for the steps. .. it will help get on with it....but I still have a couple of questions....

1) does the step 8 actually does the changing of the bootloaders?

2) the thread I referenced in my op. .. I thought the pavakge in that contains everything I.e. bootloaders and ROM....so I don't need to anything else....please correct me if my understanding is wrong. As I want stock so I thought that was it. Please help clarify. How is the package different from the one in your signature.....for stock which one fit?

3) I will read about it.....but wondering there three things to take care of....bootloaders & rom & kernel. Correct? Actually understood that piece from your reply earlier I was thinking about two thnigs bootloader & rom. ... please clarify on this one too....

Thanks for your patience and really appreciate your help

Please help with this update....

though it probably seems pretty straight forward....I dont want to screw up...

Should I just go ahead and use the package in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238093&page=10

and first flash and then flash again for bootloaders?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Here's the answers:

1. Yes, step 8 will do the bootloaders on the first pass (I found this out personally when I used the same package on my own device). It does this because it's flashing the full stock package.

2. The package you linked to is the correct one. That one will install Heimdall, the drivers Heimdall needs to work properly, and the one-click package. It's different from the one in my signature in that my One-Click does not have bootloaders, but is rooted and has ClockworkMod recovery.

3. Here's what each thing changes:

Adam's UCKH3 One-Click - Changes your bootloaders to GB bootloaders, flashes a stock Rom, flashes the associated kernel and modem.

My UCKH3 - flashes a stock rom, flashes the associated kernel/modem, flashes ClockworkMod Recovery.

So you should be good to go. Just make sure to take your time and use a computer that won't turn off halfway through or become disconnected (laptops are usually a good choice for bootloader flashing for that reason).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa710:
Thanks for your response.....one last question...if I used your package (it wud be nice to be rooted already ) .... I need to flash the bootloader seperately by using another heimdall? Would it need to be done prior to ur package flash or later? Can you share any link for the bootloaders.

But then you said step does change the bootloaders???

Thanks again for your help.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
You'll need both packages - Adam's UCKH3 and my UCKH3. Flash Adam's first. That will give you the bootloaders you need. You won't get bootloaders from mine, as I did not include any, so it won't have any bootloaders to flash.

Basically what you're doing is flashing a total stock package to get you to Gingerbread (Adam's), then flashing a hack-friendly package to let you flash other ROMs (mine). Just make sure to do Adam's first and you'll be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa710:

ROM Done - Bootloader Pending, needed?

Hi JM,

Thanks for your help all along, I have just flased the ROM with Adam's package first. But I have not yet put in the bootloaders....but the phone seems to be booting up just fine....do I need to specifically put in bootloaders or they are not needed.

I went from 2.1 to 2.3.4 - so I have a good reason to guess that I did not have GB bootloaders already...

Please let me know if I should flash the bootloaders....I have heimdall in wating mode....please let me know now if you are online...THanks.

Should I put the phone again in download mode and flash bootloaders....

And another surprising result ... all my applications seems be there nothing seems to have been wiped....contacts, msgs went away though....

Here is the log from the flash....

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RIPBAP1999:
I'm thinking about trading my Nexus for a shift since I used to have one and I liked it better than what I have.

The only thing is that I REAALLLLYY like the new Sense 3.5, but there's currently no full rom port for the shift. So, my question is... can the 3.5 apks (like ereader, widgets, and such...) be installed on the shift with a MikRom running Sense 2.1 and 3.0?

Just wondering, bc if so I am definitely getting the shift. I miss Sense, even though I barely used it when I had the shift and the evo, I still liked to have it as an option.

So, again, can Sense 3.5 apks work on a rom with a previous version of Sense?

this phone supports both for global capability and also comes in handy if you want to unlock it to work on a GSM carrier like T-Mo. Not sure I fully understand your question.

your question isn't clear , do you mean by using it as a modem that you want to do tethering ? . if so , GSM carriers also allow tether . Please note that tethering is subject to additional fees ( i read that somewhere ) although you have unlimited plan ??? . i don't live in us . so ,better you clarify that point before buy with your carrier .

you said you want to buy DHD which i think is a GSM Phone ,( i.e you are using a GSM Carrier ,NOT CDMA ) . this phone have good Dev community as a CDMA Phone , But Very very Few Roms for GSM , basically you would be stuck with the Stock firmware if you want a stable GSM Rom , note that the stock Rom is built for Verizon ( i.e many parameters will refer to Verizon network )

Hi everyone!

I've been flashing the non-rooted official XXKP4 firmware with ODIN.

This is a firmware with 4 files (+ one more file, the ops one)

The strange thing is that while flashing, ODIN downloads only 11/15 files onto the device and then restarts the phone.

Is this normal? Because on my Galaxy Mini it goes up to 10/10 or 9/9.

Is this 11/15 normal?
