Ouch. I just bought the Otterbox Defender from an AT&T retail store. I printed up a 25% off coupon (http://dealspl.us/images/coupon/7/1298734323_6674.jpg) and I paid $40 and some change, out the door.

The case isn't as bulky as I thought it would be. Too bad it comes with the holster clip, I'll never end up using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
I got my black commuter case in today and a couple things are bothering me.

#1: the buttons (volume and power) are very hard to push! Hopefully they soften up.

#2: the fit of the case isn't great on the lower back of the case.

Other than that its solid.

-sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] themerchant:
I got my commuter yesterday and after a day of use i like it.

I don't mind the stiff buttons because they are rarely used and it won't accidentally get pressed.

I choose this over the defender because i had one for my captivate and the inner plastic scratches the phone if dirt gets inside. Also the rubber outer layer does not slide out of my pant pockets well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
Anybody notice that the fit of tge commuter is. Little off the plastic and silicone don't sit perfectly on the back. Its like the silicon is just a bit too small. Its not a huge deal but its not the fit that I havr has with previous commuter cases on other devices. If I am paying 35 bucks for a case I expect it to fit properly I will be email otterbox and if anyone else is having this problem I think you should email them too and see if they will do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eshewski:
I am no longer using my Commuter case. Using it caused a bad echo for anyone on the other end of a phone call. They would hear their own voice for echoing. With the case off they don't experience the echoing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a320ca:
Same here with my SGP Neo Hybrid case. Never had a problem with my SR when it was new without a case, but as soon as I put on the Neo Hybrid my wife complained about a bad "echo" on her end (even though I heard her loud and clear). I removed the case and no more echo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eshewski:
Have you found a case yet that doesn't cause an echo? I don't like having this phone unprotected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pillzburydoughboy:
so do yall like the case or not? I am getting mixed signals..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aspexil:
I have had this case for almost 2 weeks and no echo complaints from anyone I have spoken with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] offwiththeface:
Its a good case but I say try it on and make sure the fit is right before you buy it. Seems like I got a defective one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eshewski:
The case itself is nice but the echo makes the most basic use of the phone unusable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a320ca:
Running the Seidio case now with no issues. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tjsooley:
Questions.

Does the att case come with the screen protector?

How big does the case make the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lesd777:
If you purchase from ATT it does not come with a screen protector. The commuter doesn't add much bulk and I've had no issues with echoing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ManImCool:
I have the commuter (Att version) and have gotten inconsistent results and complaints about echoing on the other end. Sometimes the same person hears it, sometimes they don't on a different call. I guess I'll order a BT headset if the commuter really is causing echoing, because I'm not going to have an unprotected phone. I'm assuming a quality BT headset should eliminate echoing on the other end?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rabbivj:
+1 to this. I got the commuter and i freakin love it! i had the impact case and i hated it cause it kept slipping off of my phone in the pocket. I exchanged it for a reusable screen protector. the one thing that is kinda annoying is the buttons on this commuter case vs the one I had for the captivate is that the buttons are hard as hell to push sometimes. other than that it love it! it adds no profile and it will protect my phone.

Hello guys ,,

at NOV 29 (about 3 days ago) google has released a new version of google maps (google maps 6 )

my problem that i'm unable to download it and the reason it's not supported at my country , and i tried to change my market location using market enabler app but it didn't work for me

so , my demand from you that i want the program by apk format to install it directly at my phone .

any explanation would be appreciated .
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lecteur:
You can just use market enabler to fake your location, you can use another country like France or USA..

Salam
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Star_Box:
i really did wallahy , but thank you any way for trying to help me . thnx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lecteur:
You're welcome, i just try it and i can update my G.Maps...

PS: Don't search for google maps directly, just search gmail after choose more application from google and you can update maps :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] antt00:
Market enabler won't work cos its not recognizing SGS2 as compatible. Its not about the location.

But simply using google or make a simple search here on xda and your would find the apk. Some newer roms also come pre-installed with it.

PS. I accidentally thank you. Those buttons are too close to each other. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lecteur:
Work for me :confused:

Maybe because there are two Market Enabler programs in the android market...

I use the fist one and it work : Look to the result
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Star_Box:
i also tried this move but i'll keeping try , you got my thanks man :D

thank you man for trying to help , and about the thanks button i'm gonna to push yours , that's fair i think :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Star_Box:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Hi.

I wouldn't want to flash to MIUI if it's not a good rom. Most important - reliability and SPEED (i love speed).

Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
It's solid and fast, because there isn't a launcher drawer. Takes a bit of getting used to the UI changes though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
The fact that Wi-Fi calling doesn't actually work on miui keeps me from being able to use miui.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I never used that WiFi calling... is it any good? what's it for? Anyways everyone's on unlimited talk now, no???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
It's for when you can't get a signal somewhere for phone calls. It let's you use your hotspot as a cell tower, basically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Exactly, it's good for the fact that this lousy g2x can't keep a signal where I live, even though my old phone could. I have unlimited talk anyway, as you say, but that's no good if I drop calls all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I had the MT4G before this G2x. And MIUI on that was 100% stable and was absolutely fast and bug free. So that phone kinda set the bar high for me when it came to MIUI.

Now MIUI on the G2x is good, but not nearly as good as what I'm used to so I stick to CM7. For my experience, MIUI for G2x slows down and has random annoying bugs here and there. But it's still a daily driver. Just not as fast nor good as MIUI has been for other phones like the MT4G.

Hope that helped.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jonphinguyen7:
I used MIUI for about 3 weeks. It was a great ROM in terms of customization, but to me it just never felt fast enough. Also, after a while, I started to miss the original android UI. Flashed CM7 again. (For stock feel and no CarrierIQ)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I have an issue with both CM7 and MIUI ----- for some reason when I plug in the usb, i can't get it to connect as a USB.

i don't have a memory card. just want to use the internal.

it simply will not let me

when I install Weapon ROM - it works fine!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
That used to happen to me as well. I had to isntall the LG GB drivers, then it worked perfectly!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
Wifi calling works 80% of the time. When it says invalid similar, I reboot and most of the time will work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asuradaMobile:
Im on latest Miui 1.11.18...and these are the problems Im experiencing SO FAR...

-random reboot when talking on the phone

-freezing but able to press the power button on/off but nothing response on the touch screen. Usually happens when I unplugged the usb.

-camera takes a few times to open up or black screen

-even select the custom ringtones, it still rings default ringtone.

-won't let me change the theme even though it said its changed...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Yeah, I had those problems as well... Not to mention Wifi calling not actually working either. The ringtone issue bugged me quite a bit.

Reboots seem to be a hardware issue on the g2x I'm beginning to believe. My phone does not do it near as often as many, but then again, I didn't buy mine till the end of October, so it was preloaded with GB and the new baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asuradaMobile:
sorry I meant 1.11.18...I never really had faith in LG but it seems to be the best phone I could find in Tmobile at the time so I had no choice....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunster:
No issues at all with miui here. Loved it on my previous phone and I now use Whitehawkz miui combined with faux kernel on my optimus and it works flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Akmorgan:
I have the latest version of Whitehakx MIUI and I love so much about it but cant get a couple things to work and will probably switch to a stock based ROM because of it. my issues with MIUI are

1. Internal storage is unavailable to most apps except for camera and market. for instance I can NOT download any files to the internal storage and many apps say the SD is not in a mounted state. I do NOT use and external SD card.

2. GPS is not great, it's manageable...but only accurate to about 40 meters and thats after messing with GPS Test before using google maps.

If anyone has some insight on these two issues I'd be willing to pay via paypal if it leads to a fix. Also might be helpful to know I'm not on T-mobile, but Cincinnati bell. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
MiUi + Morfics t15 = fast as hell. But you may experience some overheating.

MiUi + Faux v0.4.5 CM = reliable performance with awesome speed

Cm7 + Morfics t15 = Not so stable, but fast as hell.

Cm7 + Faux v04.5 CM = Awesome battery life with awesome fast and reliable performance.

These are experiences with these roms and kernels. Results may vary thought depending on your phone. Not all phones are created equal.

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Are you able to get 4g with your carrier? I'm asking because Google Maps uses your data connection as well to establish your location. Have you tried using a different navigation app that doesn't use data? Like NAVIGON perhaps...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Akmorgan:
I really appreciate your advice on ROMs. I might try CM7, are there multiple versions of that ROM?

I do have 4G with Cincinnati Bell so I dont think thats the issue, but I also haven't tried NAVIGON to see how that responds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bball123:
I personally loved MIUI. i used the galnet miui 1.11.9 for about 3 weeks and it was really sweet. Lag is minimal, speed is good as well. One thing that i didnt like was that the battery ran out a bit faster than when i was on CM7. I am back on CM7 now mainly because i forgot to backup MIUI when trying a new rom.

Overall, it is a great rom and i prefer flashing it, just remember to backup your current rom before.
[Gen8 General] trevd:
Hi Folks

I've been playing around with a 101 Gen9 and in particular the Full Size USB Slot on the back.

On the Archos WebSite in the FAQ they state:

I have been doing some of my own testing on this port and found that not to be the case

Every device I plugged into it has worked in one way or another (very much another in some cases)

1. The tablet has been rooted using letma's method.

2. You need to turn on the "3G Stick" in the Wireless Settings

3. The tablet Was Plugged In

On point 3. I have no idea how the battery was doing. especially with some of the more power hungry usb devices.

Here's a list of what I've tested

Not Working:

Keyboard (USB 1.1)

Working:

Kingston Data Traveller II+ (USB 2.0) - Picked up as external storage

HTC Hero Mass Storage

HTC Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)

HTC Sensation Mass Storage

HTC Sensation Debug Bridge (Required Root for adb)

4 Port HUB (USB 2.0)

A Couple of observations.

After turning the 3G Stick on I restarted the device

I had to plug the USB devices while the tablet was starting for it to be picked up.

The Keyboard worked when plugged into the 4 Port USB Hub. I think the keyboard will function on its own with the right kernel modules

No Device showed up as The "External Storage" in the "Files" program when plugged into the Hub, even though I mounted the device (/dev/block/sd*) from terminal emulator to the /mnt/ext_storage folder.I suspect it is looking for a specific USB device number as the external storage device.

I suppose it would be good if some other people to test what USB devices they have to hand to see what works, maybe we could build a list of functioning devices. I'm going to investigate getting the Keyboard going on it's own, which is what sparked this off and also test some external hard drives with various file systems.

I hope someone finds this helpful

Trev

[Dell Streak 7] ssengine1885:
Dell has discontinued the streak line. Customer service says no more streak and no replacement. They only have the duo in the tablet section of their site. Sorry if this has been posted I looked and didn't see anything.
[Dell Streak 7] afbond03:
That is wild. If it would have had better viewing angles it could have really taken off.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
There is also the Latitude ST, but neither are android devices, they both windows 7 tabs (win 7, not wp7)

The latitude st's not targeted toward consumers though apparently, as it's not listed with the inspiron duo.

It'll still be available new on ebay for a while yet, it doesnt change the update pace anyway.
[Dell Streak 7] ExploreMN:
As long as they honor their warranty...which in my case is 2 years. That's all I care about.
[HTC EVO 3D] ashton4life:
I understand that HTC will not warranty my phone if I do the HTC method to root. I was wondering how that effects me? My phone is covered for replacement even if I drop it in a pool. They charge me 100.00 and I get another phone. So should I worry about the HTC warranty even if I've been paying the 7 bucks a month since I bought the phone for the sprint insurance plan?
[HTC EVO 3D] luisrod03:
If you need to replace the phone or go to the sprint store for repair you can always unroot the phone....or if the phone had water or physical damage and you need to replace the phone with the insurance is better to tell them you lost the phone they still charge you the same price...

Sent From My HTC EVO 3D ROOTED
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Htc will not warranty any "software" problems. Anything else though and they will still fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] xfrobex:
If u do use their insurance, just claim it was lost or stolen. U pay the same $100, but u are never required to send in the phone, so they'll never know. And as a bonus, the new phone they send is almost always hboot 1.40. I've done it 2 times, both replacement phones were hboot 1.40
[HTC EVO 3D] ashton4life:
Thx for the info!!! I will definitely do that! Thx
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasaggie1:
Wow. i just downloaded the install tools from MIUI.com. I was planning on loading the rom on my G2. It was infected with the Droid Dream malware! I've suspected this from the day MIUI was released on this forum... that the rom was written to deliver a malicious payload.

I hope I'm wrong. Can anybody speak to this? Maybe i went to the wrong MIUI site?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Given the fact that many people run MIUI (including devs) and this is the first I'm hearing of this, I suspect you just went to the wrong site.

And speaking of suspicion, what makes you think MIUI was developed to deliver a payload?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasaggie1:
When it was first uploaded the guy who "found" it talked about how amazing it was but he really didn't know where he got it from. It made me suspicious and I've been that way since. You know... the old "don't run software that you don't know where it came from."
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
You're downloading it from the wrong site if you're getting it from someone who "found" it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasaggie1:
I'm talking about how the rom was introduced to this site over a year ago by someone who found it.

Tonight I was trying to download it from miui.com
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Just download from either miui.us or miuiandroid.com (essentially the same thing, won't get into differences here... It's been discussed at length and it's essentially nothing) I ran the one off of miui.us for a good few months and never had a single problem (Except that it kept wanting to transfer stuff to SD and never was able to haha)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkules:
Where would I be able to find the screen press sound for ICS? I want to replace the TW one sound with this one. Any help would be appreciated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sendan:
This is similar. Change permissions appropriately and reboot after you drop it in.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkules:
Thanks. That was the right sound for the ICS tick. I had to actually replace the file called TW_Touch.ogg on the GB ROM with the effecttick.ogg. I did rename it, etc. Turns out that TW will use it but it blasts it so loud that it is almost as bad as the TW sound was. I had to edit the effecttick.ogg file in Audacity by lowering the gain to an acceptable level for me. Then redid the process. Worked like a champ and now I have the sound I was looking for.

I've attached the file I made in case anyone wants to do it to.

Thanks in advance guys!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorsk8r:
For anyone interested it seems that syncing with Google was the issue! As soon as I stopped google contact sync and redid mu contact photos full screen is working perfectly!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilkin:
I was following this issue logged on the google bug tracker on 2 separate threads. A google rep did eventually reply (the thread was a few years old by then lol). He said that this issue is adressed in ICS as the contact resolution that syncs with google contacts has been increased. So best is just to wait till we have ICS on our phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorsk8r:
Thanks for the update devilkin, you'd think it would have been part of the full screen contact mod? Can't believe this is the first thread to discuss the issue!

it is only when you sync contacts from gmail the pictures are low res.

are there any other methods for keeping/syncing contacts online? google seems to suck atm.
