I agree. I hate scratching my phone. I like the otter but its just to big and thick for me to being carrying around in my pocket especially at work. And I'm not a fan of holsters hahA.
[HTC EVO 3D] DevalB:
When you have your phone in the Exomount, does it bounce around? I want to get a mount that I can use with my 3vo, or Epic Touch, or any other device that I have.
[HTC EVO 3D] amace04:
Couldn't disagree more. Otterbox is hands down the best case. Spend the $50, buy a defender. Protects way better than the Ballistic case, backed by the company and smaller than a ballistic.
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo kid:
Well ur free to disagree. Ive owned both and id recommend the ballistic over the otter any day of the week

And i cant help but laugh at the fact that u paid 50 bucks for ur case when theyre 25 on ebay lol

Sent from my Infected 3VO
[HTC EVO 3D] jdfrye:
Okay, Yes the exomount does have a small ball and its not very stiff. (sounds like a horror movie ha!) If your bouncing around alot the phone does lose it's position and you have to realign it to face you. But that said its very universal and light and easy to just grab when you know you might need it. also its good for anyother device like other ipod touches & smartphones in the family.
[HTC EVO 3D] amace04:
Oh don't you worry about me, I got mine for $35 shipped.

However, $50 for a case that will keep your $600 phone safe isn't really an awful investment.

LOL...alright well most of the roads here in NY/NJ are decent, but I'm just curious before taking the leap.

[General Questions and Answers] oib:
It seems like a basic question, but I have received no concrete answers. What's all the fuss about rooting your android device? I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I'm looking hard for any excuse to root my tablet. Yes, I have checked google and these forums to no avail. My only luck are youtube videos of people's justifications being either:

1) Linux

2) "Don't you want control over your device? u_u"

With my Ps3 and Wii, hacking it opened many doors. My Wii especially -- I can (probably) put emulators, games, DVDs, music, and shows all for free and without discs but I haven't since it's illegal. The untapped potential is endless. My question(s):

What does a rooted device bring to the table?

Can I [theoretically] download emulators on my tablet for free via Linux despite being illegal and something I most certainly would never do despite my stance on piracy?

More specific -- what's the best thing that has ever happened as a result of your rooted device?

I really appreciate the help.
[General Questions and Answers] Printerscape:
*Note, I do not have the Galaxy Tab, so talking in general*

Rooting gives you more control over your device. It's as simple as that. It has nothing to do with piracy, since you can sideload apps anyway.

Want to overclock making things run faster/smoother? Want to underclock so you can have extended battery life? Install a custom kernel. Don't like the way the default ROM (operating system) looks? Modify it, or install a whole new community-based ROM.

If you're happy with your device as-is, don't bother rooting it.

Examples of why I root:

HTC Inspire 4G-

*Underclocked as to improve battery life.

*Installed custom ROM as to improve functionality of the phone.

*Tether WiFi devices to 4G (H+).​

Kindle Fire-

*Install Google Market on the device.​
[General Questions and Answers] kwkbnk:
I rooted my phone so I could install custom roms. This was a big improvement over my stock rom as far as functionality, performance and stability.

Rooting to me is about having full control over my phone and being able to make it what I want it to be instead of what the carrier thinks it should be.
[General Questions and Answers] Nuenjin:
This is the bottom line for me.

I'm not an automatic person, I am a hands on person. I appreciate making choices and going through the options. I work on my own cars, build my own computers. Root my own phone. Both my cars have manual transmissions and I work on my own house.

See the pattern, I like to do things myself, to be in control, and not have them chosen for me.

That's why I don't own anything from Apple. :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SH31KH:
Does anyone know a way to check the speed (data transfer) of the internal memory in the T-Mobile G1???

I wanted to compare it to my class 10 microsd

And for those of you guys that already have the benchmarks, would you mind posting them here please?

Appreciate the help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bresiyel:
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do this, but you can write a simple program/script and use a timer (ms) that is started and then stopped after a transfer of say, 10MB, to and from /data and then do the same to and from /sd-ext/ and check to see which one has the faster read/write times.

I can almost guarantee that the internal memory will be faster.

[Edit]10MB may be a bit much, something smaller like 2MB would probably be alright.[/Edit]
[Galaxy S II General] audino:
Ive bought a Note and today a Galaxy Nexus and they all go back...

Nothing to compare with the S2...
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
Can you be more precise on what you dislike?
[Galaxy S II General] audino:
on note:

+display size for browsing

-laggy and slower comperd to s2

-size, im 193cm but its too big for beeing a mobile phone

on galaxy nexus:

+display it looks really georgous

+videocam can zoom on fullhd and shows more

-ics at this moment (mods,app support,flash etc) is not better then gingerbread

-microsd card

Galaxy S2 is still the best one, the note and nexus only have a larger screens with higher res. And this is it.
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
How is the note laggier? I thought it was an overclocked S2

How was the battery life on the note and nexus?

I am curious since I was thinking of changing

Have to admit having an s2 with an sd card slot is brilliant,why on earth they didn't see that as a plus I'll never know!

[Galaxy S II General] audino:
The notes battery was really better compared to the s2. my s2 survives on heavy useage on a office day 8 hr, the note could add 3-4 hrs... on the nexus i dont know.

The note is lagerif you use it daily as a mobile device, youre not able to use it with one hand...
[Galaxy S II General] shinji21:
so the note is laggier becoz of its size limitation in regards to physical manipulation, not the cpu processing power. is that what u mean?
[Galaxy S II General] ziggyboy:
I'd like to comment on this and say that after the SGN has been released, the hype has gone down for me. Being a new OS/phone there seem to be a plethora of bugs flying around, with small annoyances starting to come out.

As a techie it's easy for me to claim ICS superiority, but how will you explain these things to your dad for example? "ICS is...uh...better..."? The average person would see very minor changes. Yes the interface is new, but how is this really different from installing a new launcher? Sorry to sound cynical about ICS but to most people it is a minor interface change. The practical experience would be like moving from HTC Sense to TouchWiz... different interface but overall still the "same".
[Galaxy S II General] audino:
yes only the screen and size are larger...

+1
[Galaxy S II General] 5150Joker:
I have a note and s2. With2.3.6 firmware the note performance is more or less like the s2. Screen is better than the s2 and unless you have small hands it's very comfortable to use. Default CPU speed is 1.4 GHz which is enough to handle the extra pixels.
[Galaxy S II General] nipip:
I dont know about ICS yet, but honeycomb experience in tablets is better than gingerbread/froyo, beyond cosmetics.

If anyone want always the same can buy apple:)
[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I dont agree about ICS being the same as installing a new Launcher. Go watch some more vids about ICS. You see changes in the phone app, in the calander app, in the browser. The UI is more consistent in every part of the OS, giving it a modern and complete look. There are nice animations, also for switching from portrait to landscape view, the new notifications bar, etc etc.

Not to mention there should be new features.

The Engadget ICS review goes pretty deep in to ICS.

I usually am like you and very honest and direct about if I like something or its not such a big deal. But imo ICS is a very good and nice update. :)
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
From someone who owned an HTC Diamond, the omission of an SD Card is a stupid idea. From a manufacturer's point of view, you make one phone which can have an 8GB, 16GB or 32GB extra memory which can be plugged in or (like Apple) manufacturer 3 variations of the exact same phone.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
umm most of the things u point out is common sense ? couldnt u have known that before getting them ?

for example the size ... yes its big ..... didnt u know this >?????

yes ICS isnt better in the department because its NEW didnt u know this ether ?

no microsd card .... yeah couldnt u have known this from the spec page on samsung ??

this is one of the strangest threads
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Interesting opinions, for me the Note is ruled out straight away it is simply too big for a mobile and frankly i think it looks a bit silly walking around with something that size stuck to your ear.

The Nexus i would be more interested in but the lack of SD rules out me getting that straight off,what were Samsung thinking:confused:

Actually i don't know why Samsung are even bothering releasing more and more smartphones trying to rival the SGSII, i hope it's not a case of quantity as opposed to quality,churning out a new smartphone every few months for me isn't the way to go, if i were Samsung i would've waited until Feb 2012 and released the SGSIII complete with ICS and watch as sales rocket, lets be honest the Note and Galaxy will be lucky to achieve even a 1/3 of the sales the SGSII has done,only the wealthy and those who are really obsessed with having the latest smartphone regardless if it's the best or not will buy,judging by the reviews ive read both these phones are no better than the SGSII so why bother shelling out lots of money.
[Galaxy S II General] 5150Joker:
The note blows away the sg2 IMO. I have both and gave the sg2 to my girlfriend.e
[Galaxy S II General] kingofthebraves:
I'm not really impressed with ICS as well, UI change is a big thing especially the on screen buttons but I'm not a big fan. 2.1 and the Nexus one was still the most exciting thing to ever happen to android, big leap forward and the best smartphone available by a mile!
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
These changes in phone, calendar, browser etc doesn't mean we'll see them on the s2. Samsung has their own, tw etc. To me these are small changes anyway. What more do I want in the phone app anyway!

I really don't get all the hype about ics as well. More just looking forward to see what the new Samsung ui looks like.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Don't you think it's wayyyy too big to be a phone, christ you may as well go back to 1988 when you had yuppies walking about with the first ever mobile phone:eek::D
[Galaxy S II General] 5150Joker:
I don't have tiny girl hands so no its not way too big at all. Fits perfectly, if anything the SG2 seems too small now. I could never go back to a phone smaller than 5". Unless you're a psuedo-male that's around 5'4"-5-5" with girl like hands, it should be no problem to handle. Hell even most average sized girls could handle it with ease.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
Neither do i but for me to far far too big but each to their own;)
[HD2 General] sexcellent:
My Issue

When my HD2 is sitting on the table, not being held, it has full reception - all 5 bars. When I pick it up and hold it in my hand normally It will drop down to 1-3 bars within a few seconds.

I noticed that if I hold the device without touching the bottom (where the antenna apparently is) the bars do not drop quite as much.

I understand that my hand blocks reception, but I did not expect it to drop reception so dramatically.

My Quesitons:

1 - is this normal?

2 - is there a fix?
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Yes..

Hold with right hand instead of left. :)

Thnx me later...
[HD2 General] sexcellent:

[HD2 General] Akshay Darade:
Well, its not normal. But tell me r u running android or windows 6.5 on it? It may be normal on some android roms as they may have bugs. But, in wm its not normal. U better check ur reception or check ur mobile motherboard from htc care!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Love_Velvet:
I've got a Samsung galaxy nexus and a Motorola Xoom. Im having trouble with my gmail account updating and notifying my of new emails.

I've cleared all of the gmail data on both devices, unchecked and recheck sync (it updates once but doesn't again until i redo this). I've also added another gmail account and it syncs fine, so there is nothing wrong with the devices.

I presume this is an issue with my gmail account? Is there anything i can look at to get it to sync correctly with both android devices again?

Today when I went to sync, it offered me a NEW version. Their web site does not have this version up yet at the download link.

The new version is Kies_2.1.0.11112_41. The old version, that I was using without trouble, was Kies_2.1.0.11095_121_6.

I installed, connected device, did my sync. All well.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rhcp4ever:
It's been sitting in rice. It wasn't like submerged, but water was kinda sprayed onto it.

If I bleach the water activation dot will Samsung be stupid enough to take it back if it's not fully functional(say a button doesn't work or something) and repair/replace it?

If not, this is a good time to get an HTC vivid or the skyrocket... assuming it won't be fully functional.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AJerman:
It was sprayed? How badly? I mean, the screen and everything can get wet as long as it wasn't wet enough to get inside. I'm guessing it was wet enough to trip the water sensors though? Did you immediately pull the battery? If it wasn't much water and you pulled the battery immediately, you're probably fine. Don't turn it on though until you're certain that every drop of water inside is dried up. Leave it in a bag of rice for 24 hours like you did to be certain.

Don't bother trying to bleach the water sensors. For one, I doubt that they bleach back white or else they would be kind of pointless. Secondly, most phones end up having several water sensors, so unless you open it up and find them all, they'll still know.

Put it this way, I got into a swimming pool with my iPhone in my pocket one time. Got out, obviously couldn't remove the battery, but I turned it off and put it in rice, even opened it and (very carefully, i don't recommend it) dried it in a toaster oven. It never worked completely again, but it definitely started up and ran a little for a while. If you just sprayed it, you're probably fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rhcp4ever:
Oh trust me, they do go perfectly white and don't even smell like bleach. I've just never tried a return... I have a problem with not water damaging each of my phones at at least one point in their life. I was just wondering if they'd see rust or something maybe and just be like "LOLWATERDAMAGEBANNED" and just return it or even hold it and make me pay for them looking at it. The dot that was in the back was barely activated, so idk. maybe time for a new phone if it partially works or just get a note(or wait for Note II or whatever they'll call it)?

It was sprayed enough to get in the back battery door under the battery and SIM but not the uSD card.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I honestly think it should be fine man. They're usually not as bad as they seem. As for the water damage, there isn't much they'll really notice other than the strip. Rusting won't occur, and more than likely your phone will function fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
It's really unlikely your phone will have problems once it's dry. My Captivate was submerged in tropical ocean water for over a minute while turned on, then blasted with sand that filled every single crevice right after I got the battery out, and then sprayed with a hose 40 minutes later in an attempt to get the sand out. A couple of days later, everything but the wifi and USB mounting was working just fine and all my apps and data were unaffected (although the inside of the phone was caked with salt).
