[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
When the support rep told the OP that they would "connect to my Thunderbolt and troubleshoot the audio problem", I think they were going by the standard "don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.

Can they remotely connect to our phones ? I wasn't aware that they could.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
Over the phone? Absolutely Not
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Correct, that's what they said ("don't call tech support from the phone that's having the issue" practice.)

So should I still unroot to be safe before I call them or no....:confused::confused:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
What ROM are you using ?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
If you want to be on the safe side, make a nand backup, flash a stock ROM, call them, then restore the backup. I'll pretty sure they can't tell if you have a custom recovery.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorcycle:
Don't know how they do it, (simple user here) and not the first time I've seen this asked or answered. If you're bored jump on every TB forum your on and I'm sure you'll find your curiosity satisfied. Maybe it was on BAMF? I could care less how they do it. (No ins here) Call technical support and ask them what rom your on and how dare they know that.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorcycle:
On the device in question, yes, why not... again I don't care and was just offering what I've read.

via my mind while guzzling beer.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
I'm on many forums similar to this, including Team Bamf, rootzwiki, etc and haven't read anything like this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Liquid AOSP 3.2.

I unrooted just to be safe and the tech rep never said anything and I got them to send me a new sim card and if that doesn't solve my problem (which I don't think it will), then they will send me a new thunderbolt. :D

When I rooted again after the phone call it wouldn't let me restore my rom and I got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily I had rom zip's on my sd card, so I installed one from scratch, reflashed cwm via rom mgr again, then it let me restore it.

Very weird, and I was terrified I jacked my phone up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorcycle:
Hmm keep looking, I won't be at a pc till tomorrow maybe. But like I said I have no way to confirm only what I've read which is what I do. And that was second hand information. As most of this is. I'm really trying to remember because I know these site searching's are lacking at best.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] project.self:
I just recently used to work for at&t customer care and if vzw is anything like them, the only way they can maybe tell is if you have an unlimited data plan plus unofficial tethering app. Or if you send it in for warranty/Asurion replacement. Otherwise i don't really see how they could see in any way if it was rooted
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorcycle:
That is understandable, thank you. Still gotta get to my pc. I know people have called in on their rooted devices for certain reasons and been called out only to deny. And of course unroot before going in. For whatever reason. Sticking to it. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
That's why I asked what ROM. A support rep could simply tell the person to read them a version # that will be different than "stock".
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] project.self:
this is true, didn't think about that. You could always just write the stock version number before flashing to be safe
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
A while back I read a post either here in the tbolt forums or the Droid Inc forums that vzw does indeed keep a database of phones that have the superuser app installed, this audit is done automaticly and is actually in there TOS they also have the ability to read the buildprop info from a given device. I will try to did up the post and link to it of I can find it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
From my experience most csr reps have absolutly no idea what a "custom recovery" is.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Doesn't make it true ! :-) Personally, I don't believe Verizon really cares. It's such a tiny number of people who would do it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDanimal:
Tech support has no way of knowing you're rooted unless they trip you up on a version number. The only thing they can see is what version software you last pulled from the OTA platform.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brandrixco:
Hey Guy's I'm currently having issues flashing the official MIUI rom via cwr mod and I have no clue what I'm suppose to do at this point.

Right now my phone is using stock gingerbread 2.3 (tmobile) and I am using the newest version of clockwork recovery.

The main issue is that every time I try and flash it it gives me a SD mounting error, but i can flash cm7 off my device...anyways any help would be appreciated :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
Do u have a p990 or a p999 and are you using whitehawkxs build or the official build from miui.us
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brandrixco:
Well after a lot of browsing and searching I'm able to put custom roms internally, but every time I flash cyanogen mod it doesn't recognise my internal memory and it automatically assumes I have a sd card in my phone.

btw thanks for the reply :)

oh and its p999

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANDR09:
Hello guys. I use ARHD 6.3.x

I tried to use app "Volume+" to make my phone more louder but it doesn't work on ARHD

I use LordMod kernel with ""audio boost" but seems like usuall (maybe a bit louder).

So my question about "audio boost" for external speaker on DHD, how i can applying it?

Any ideas, maybe some patch for kernel?

PS sorry for my english, it's not my native language
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Kernels are your best bet for sense roms. I'm not sure which kernel if any have the highest audio boost, but it can't hurt trying out other compatible kernels to see if one has the levels you like. Imo lordmod is as high as audio boost goes but its been a little while since I have tried others.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANDR09:
Maybe someone know how work apps like "Volume+" or "DSP manager" and which parameter they increase?

it change parameter in ROM or in kernel?

Maybe "this" parameter can change manualy?

"Volume+" works on mother's HTC Legend and he became much more louder...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all. :D

I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon. :D

Here is a link...

Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?

I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.

Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
Bulky? Compared to naked?

All cases take away from the beautiful phone....

This case is not bulky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leyvatron:
Pics uploaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
if its the same as this one then its a cruzer lite case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Same exact one as the OP but "smoke". If you want it, PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidkevlar:
Anyone try this on the LTE version yet? Seems like a sick case, just dont want to waste a few bucks if it doesnt fit well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joelmic:
Yes it has been tested on the lte model
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidkevlar:
So fits perfect? And thanks!

And one last thing. How much bulk does it actually add? I cant really tell from the pics. THanks again

What color did you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaptBananaPants:
Sale at Amazon on these

FYI - if you want more than one, you can get three for the price of two at Amazon - use promo code BUY2GONE. Several different colors, two different patterns.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kev24k:
Got them in. I ordered black, blue, and green. The black is SICK. All ports etc line up perfectly. It looks amazing. The blue looks very nice. The ports on the blue don't line up as well. If the headphone plug has any size at all it wont fit. Still haven't tried the green yet. I was in the car and ran out of red lights. Very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidkevlar:
I ordered black, clear and green. All I can say is WOW!!! Case rocks!!!! I will have pics and full feed back later tonight. I had the previous version of the cruzlite case and loved it. And I love this case even more now. I might have to order more colors. And Ill be honest, I HATED HATED HATED cases before. Not ne more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stanaka1:
Got my black today. Very nice. The cutouts seem better finished than the original design and the volume cutout is much better than the covered. It fits over the extended battery just fine. Be sure you have a headset plug that's either small in diameter or has that "stepped" design on the plug itself. I also like the matte finish on the android and the ribbed grips on the side. I do, however, like the camera cutout on the old design better. This new one exposes the perimeter of the battery cover (about 1mm). Also, if you're anal about fingerprints, the gloss black may not be the best choice for you.

I wonder how this case will fit in the Samsung desk dock and car dock with the pins...

Just a bit bummed that Amazon made it Prime eligible after I ordered it on the 16th. Would've saved on shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
I have received 4 Androidified A2 cases today: smoke, blue, teal and green.

IMHO blue looks a bit too dark and toy-like, smoke is a bit dull, teal is a bluish tone and green is bit neon yellow-like.

Overall it is a great design however the power button cutout in the smoke does not align well and looks weird. Perhaps I should have gone with the clear instead of the smoke.

Of all four colors, blue is my least favorite and green the most; after all Android Andy looks better in its' native color than anything :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fumanstan:
Went ahead and ordered a Black, Smoke, and Clear now that I can use my Prime account. Looking forward to them, with the rave reviews here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HexDex:
Got mine today!

Blue, black, and Red.

I like all three, probably leaning toward the Black as my favorite.

I compared the fit with the normal battery, and with the extended battery.

They do work with the extended battery, however the fit is NOT perfect. When compared to the fit of standard battery, you can see it easiest with the hole for the three pin connector. It is slightly off center. You can also feel it around the lip where the top grips the screen. You can feel and see slightly, how the lip is stretched just a bit. I tested all three cases, so I doubt it is a bad case, just a manufacturing reality that you can't make a form fitting case for two separate form factors. It's very close though.

If I had to put some sort of grading scale on it, I would say the standard battery is a 100% fit, and the extended is say 97% fitted. It's a small thing, and depending on how anal you are, it may be a big thing as it is certainly not a "perfect" fit with the extended battery.

I am not decided on which battery I will use just yet, but given I work with a wall outlet about a foot from my shoulder, I am considering just going back to the standard battery so I can have a case that is a 100% fit.

I'll try and take some pictures tomorrow to show this better.

Overall though, love the cases!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Got my green case today and I'm very happy with it. It fits perfect and all holes line up as well. Plus it has badass andy on the back. Nice work! Ordered the blue one too and it'll be here shortly. Thanks joel!

EDIT: Got my blue case today. Fits perfect and looks cool as all hell. Booya!

So I wrote a lil review for guys still on the ropes or looking for more info about the new cases.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HexDex:
Okay, as promised, some pics. This is for the Verizon LTE device, just so we are clear.

I am a terrible photographer, and am equally poor at getting pictures I DO manage to take up onto the web for all to see, so bear with me here.

Here is a shot of them empty, in a row.

From the side

And the other side

Blue, standard battery:

Red, standard battery:

Black, standard battery:

I took the same sort of angled shots with the extended, but from that angle they look pretty much the same.

I did however, take a couple of side on shots to sort of illustrate my point on the difference in fit between the standard and extended batteries.

Here's the blue side on with the standard battery. Note you can see the distinct curve of the top rear near the headphone jack, and more importantly note the position of the 3 pin connector. It's about dead center, perfect fit.

And here we have the same side with the extended battery. you can see the curve near the top rear is much less distinct, due to the bulge of the battery door, and the 3 pin connecter is now decidedly off center, shifted down toward the screen.

I tried to take a pic of the face of the phone, and show how the lips of the case compare with both batteries, but that difference did not photograph well at all for me. Suffice to say you can feel it and see it with your own eyes.

Again, all and all, I am quite pleased and the cases are gorgeous! I would recommend them to anyone using the standard battery without hesitation! If you are using the extended battery, I would caution you that the cases are still nice, but not perfect, and how much it bothers you would depend on your own tolerances.

I am just going to try living with the standard battery for now, since no one makes a perfect case for the extended like they do with the standard.

Kudos to Joel for the excellent service and cases!

Thanks for the awesome cases Joel. Got my three in the mail today, green, blue and smoke.
