[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I've NEVER had an Otterbox that fit right. If the thing fits the CDMA version right with the extended battery, then you WILL have play in it with the regular battery. I've tried two different Otterboxes in my life, both on different Blackberries. Those things scratched the HELL out of both devices and made them look like a Thunderbolt with a year of regular use.

Yeah, your phone is going to survive a fall, but a year from now it's going to look like crap. You're putting a phone in a hard plastic case. Hard plastic on hard plastic is going to equal scratches. Some people don't care about that aspect, it's all about keeping the phone intact, and that's totally fine. But if some of you guys have never owned an Otterbox before, please be aware that your phone is going to most likely look like a $20 Vietnamese Hooker in 6 months to a year regardless of if you drop it or not.

As a Vibrant owner, I used that phone for a year and a half then gave it to my mother. It's still mint with nothing more than just gel skin (granted, the GN definitely needs a screen protector). Other than a few fine scratches along the bezel where I took it apart a solid dozen times or so, it really is "mint" otherwise. Samsung plastics are robust. The phone is fine. It will survive a typical drop with a quality gel skin and a screen protector better than a metal frame in a gel skin that will have it's body chip and shave on impact.

Otterboxes are about two things, two things that they are outstanding at:

1) Attempting to "water proof/resist" your device as much as possible

2) Attempting to keep the phone relatively damage free when it goes flying off of the roof you're shingling.

It seems like some people here have one thinking it's going to keep the phone in perfect condition. It won't, and if it fits perfectly now, eventually it won't anymore. Eventually you'll get a little bit of play and that play will lead to dinged up corners and battery covers.

Edit: If you are concerned with water resistance and the phone flying off of you on a roller coaster, get the Defender and realize that eventually it's going to look abused. If you are concerned about keeping it looking good and protection when it slips out of your hands from 5 feet up, get the commuter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ovrclck:
I came from the defender. Nice case but it took too much of the sleekness away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ovrclck:
One thing I noticed with that case is the constant attraction of dirt under the screen protector . ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
do not use the otter box screen protectors for gnex. Rushed generic crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ovrclck:
yeah it really clouds the screen. Looks like crap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Yeah.. Everybody should remove that piece of crap.

Here are a few pics with my Commuter Case and the Skinomi Screen Protector:

The commuter on my galaxy nexus fits well and the inside of the case is soft rubber not hard plastic. Don't see how it could possibly damage my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edking4:
I just purchased the defender last night for my GSM nexus. I was worried about the movement of the phone but you have to make sure you seat it in properly otherwise it will move up and down. Other than that it works very well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoniKickAHoleInTheSky:
Both too bulky

So I thought I was going to go with the Commuter, but after trying it on, it felt a bit too bulky for such a slim phone.

I ended up buying the Incipio Feather. The feel and look of it is amazing. Adds very little to the phone.

http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Ga...-Nexus-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
Honestly I like the added weight from the commuter. It was much thinner than I anticipated. Took me a couple days to adjust, but its been a great case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb_3000:
Can someone please confirm this about the defender? I'm about to order it but if this is true I don't think I will. I want my phone to remain completely scratch free, which is why I thought about getting the defender as it seems the one case that will provide the strongest protection, but if the case itself is going to scratch your phone, that completely defeats the purpose. I'm still going to get it either way, but should I also get one of those sticky full body covers to avoid these scratches?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Anyone want to sell their commuter?

I have a couple questions on the Commuter.

1) How is the rubber that is around the screen, does it stay tight to the screen or does it move a lot if you push it with your thumb.

2) How is it in the pocket. Does it pick up a lot of lint? Do you feel the silicone pull around the screen often?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] esurdam:
Ive got a commuter case with the extended battery.

1) Rubber around the screen is tight. Only moves slightly when you push it. Good snug fit.

2. It does pick up a small amount of lint. The silicone doesnt pull when in my pocket. The lint though is minor and nothing that a nice screen wipe wont take care of. (I have removed the case a couple times and youll find some lint inside. But nothing that makes it a dealbreaker)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xarthos:
My friends said they like my tablet when they saw my Otterbox Defender Case. I have used the phone with box the 1750 and the 2150 which is on now. It works very well with both and the fit has been exceptional in both cases. Size difference between the batteries is really hard to see. It's that insignificant.

No I don't have a scatch anywhere on the phone. I take it out of the case probably 15 times now to show off the phone size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Thanks!

Now if only I could find one locally. :(

I finally got the EK02 update this morning, so this is going to be the first full day of use out of it. So far I'm not impressed and want to maybe even go back to the original version.

My 4g radio which normally is connected throughout my workday appears to be disconnecting. If i turn off and back on 4g, it will reconnect with out any issues. Wasn't the idea of this update to strengthen the radios?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dishun71:

Audio OK, and both cameras work, not black screen, not zoom issue, not green flickering, but only exists rotation issue. Always happens and I tried more than 15 times. If somebody can activate the rotation swicht as on galaxy s2 (don't appear the zoom and rotation options), I will fix the issue manually, and It will work perfect on our i9003. Please, look this theme. In my device doesn't appear rotate camera option, and I am on 2.6.0.75

I had the OTA update alert this morning. Didn't realize having CWM would make the update fail. :o

I know there's a way to apply the OTA manually with an external SD...

Anyway to do it without?

thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Assuming you don't really have a personal requirement to run the "Official" EK02 OTA, you could run the rooted EK02 OTA, which can (and must) be installed from CWM.

You can find a link in Resource section #A10 of the auto root sticky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alphaconf:
Thanks. I wanted to post this Q in your thread but didn't have enough posts!

Will give this a shot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kogama:
if you have a regular unrooted phone with Ek02 or a rooted phone with EK02 can you go to the calkulin rom for Ek02 without switching the modem ? i dont understand modems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quick99si:
Modems are independent from roms/kernels, you can mix and match as desired.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kogama:
so do roms that say Ek02 mean they support EK02?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
it means they are based off the EK02 release which is android 2.3.6., for modems/radio its the baseband version. You can mix and match ROM/radio for your best results based on location/signal/etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kogama:

does this eg30 modem file mean i can update to ek02 and if I dont like it switch back to eg30? i read some people switched back but others are saying its not possible but most of those dates are older

so?

if i go to ek02 modem can i switch back if i get los to an eg30 and hope everything is fine again?

also is ek02 more advantageous? such as the calkulin rom based off ek02 or the unnamed rom based off ek02, i see positive reviews and am interested but run eg30 and I get los if i switch any kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yes it does, you can change to any modem you like and flash different ones as well.
[HTC Rezound] Ullmz469:
I'm wondering if my battery is defective or battery monitor is reporting the wrong mah of the battery. Battery Monitor is reporting 1590mah.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
mine is to. But battery monitor would always report my tbolt battery as 2750...
[HTC Rezound] punman:
1620mAh is the rating printed on the back of your battery, 1590 is probably a calculated value from what the App is probing, which is why it's a bit off.

Calculated values from kernel data may be a little off from printed ratings. It's < 2% off.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Battery Monitor Widget has reported everything from 334mAh to 4200mAh. It is an estimation.
[HTC Rezound] Ullmz469:
Thanks for the clarification. I was still not satisfied with the battery life, So I went into verizon last night. The guy there tested the battery and said it was bad and ordered me a new battery. I'm skeptical on that the battery is bad. He told me the voltage was measuring 4.2v. The battery was charged about 71% and that time. Does that indicate the battery is bad or can the battery voltage vary from the 3.7-3.8v recommended voltage at times?

[Atrix 4G General] mmk92:
I want to sell my atrix realy soon and i was worried about a couple of things

My atrix's bootloader is rooted, and i have CM7 installed but i want to restore it to stock settings before i sell it

I was thinking of installing a rom like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195922 to restore everything, even the recovery imagine

My main concern is that if the buyer tries to update his phone from inside the OS over OTA, will it brick the device? And what do you suggest i should flash/do to return the phone to full stock?(I guess it would be fine to leave the bootloader unlocked, no?)

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
First, this is a question, which belongs in the question and answer section. Second, your bootloader isn't rooted. Its unlocked. Your phone is rooted. Third, this question has been asked and answered so many times I honestly can't remember how many. However, ill give you the simple answer. Go to the development section to the firmware superthread. Download the GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Sbf and flash it with rsd lite. It will make it appear as if yer bootloader is locked again and will put everything back to stock.
[Atrix 4G General] mmk92:
i meant unlocked, not rooted typo, and isn't it risky to do that?
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
Yes, it is risky to do, even the SBF file for stock GingerBread that includes the pudding unlock has been reported to have hard bricked a few phones (but usually works).

To be safest, I would suggest hitting up the fruit cake thread in the development section, and installing a GingerBread fruit cake. Your phone will still say "unlocked", but it will be running Motorola's Stock GB release.

Hi, i have one question, is it possible to lock my phone to my sim card? i think it was possible on my nokia or se, dont remember any more...if there was another sim inserted the phone required a "pin" code previously selected for theft protection...

yea, thats the sim card lock... i need my phone locked to sim card?
[HTC Sensation] TimMun:
Ooh! sorry :o

I wouldn't know how to do that to be honest.
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
I know that Cerberus can be set up to only allow one SIM to be used. But I assume that means that if one were to flash a new ROM which would uninstall Cerberus, that would be useless.
[HTC Sensation] jernejk:
yes, i thought bout something like that, but what sense does it have i you can flash new rom...
[HTC Sensation] mattjorgs:
I really doubt there's any hardware mod you can do to lock it to one sim. Anything you could do would most likely have to be software and flashing new ROMs would work around that anyway...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
I'm wondering about how the apps are handled for Android.

1. Do some apps (like games) open using a phone's resolution? Is it stretched or just left being displayed in a small window not using the entire screen?

2. If an app has been purchased on a phone, does it have to be repurchased on a tablet?

3. Are some apps unavailable if the Market recognizes a tablet device?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
What is this, a thread that's actually asking a legitimate question about the device and not just rehashing the same old questions about pre-orders and shipping and delays?!? Who do you think you are? :D

In answer to your questions:

1. Yes, some apps stretch (and there's an option to scale to the screen size or stretch at the same resolution; which is better depends on the app) and some work better than others at high resolutions. I've found that most apps are usable, if not particularly attractive.

2. No, apps don't have to be repurchased unless the developer specifically makes separate apps and charges for them. Most often, you can download an app to any number of compatible devices.

3. Yes, some apps don't show up as available on Honeycomb tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] avinash60:
You don't have to worry all that much about the app compatibility between tablets/phones since Ice cream sandwich will natively support both the sizes.

It might take a few weeks after the arrival of ICS, but finally we will see all the apps updated to work across the board on both tablets as well as phones.

Right now, most apps made for phones do work with tablets but are generally "stretched".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
Thanks for the replies!

@wynand32 - sorry, I won't do it again. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amtrakcn:
1. There are 2 modes of displaying phone apps on tablets.

The first is to stretch, in which the framework of the app will change to fit the screen size. The fonts will be in normal size. Kind of like what happens when you drag the edge of a window on Windows.

The other one is to zoom, Which just magnify the app to fit tablet screen.

You can switch between the 2 modes and both will take up the whole screen.

2. If you log onto the same Google account on both devices, no need to purchase again

3. Yes, market hides apps that claims not compatible with the device browsing the market. (Actually most of them does run on tablets)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokusho:
In most case the phone made apps are perfectly stretch to the screen size.

What I mean by "perfectly" is that it s not a blow up 10 inch version of the phone apps with big pixels big text and big box.

It's actually a well done stretch of the UI. Text are smaller , liste are longer, wider. Buttons takes less space. There is more space for content, the UI is proportionnaly smaller on the tablet screen than on the phone screen.

In short, ergonomically it s the same thing but with good use of the extra screen space.

That s for every classic well coded phone apps.

Now some apps which are developped with android 3+ in mind are made to appears differently on tablet and phone, using différent layout depending the screen size.

Overall it works really well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
OK, cool. Thanks again for the replies everyone. Sounds like the API is designed well enough so that the resolution jump isn't really an issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'll be watching you...... :D

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Yes, but do note that some developers do make tablet-specific versions of their apps that you do have to pay for separately. An example is Ultimate To-Do List, a nice Toodledo- and Google Tasks-syncing app. They have a phone-specific version and a tablet-specific version, and each has to be purchased for each device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Before it was needed that you have a HD app and a mobile app versions. But Android Market was updated at some point so that developers can release multiple versions under the same app, it would download the HD or non-HD version where appropriate.

Of course some app developers won't use it since it allows them to charge separately for HD and non-HD version, should the same user get two devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonjon3174:
Not sure where to post this, so if its in the wrong place, please put it in the right place, and my apologies.

But, I just downloaded the MIUI ROM and installed it on my phone, I really love the ROM as it is so interchangeable, but the only problem is I dont have sound anymore, nothing at all. No music player or ringtones, what do i need to do to fix this?

Thanks In advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] mateusm:
First thing i would do is check the MD5(should before flashing anything really).

Would also try flashing another ROM to see if its not hardware.

If you have a ROM related question, ex: MIUI ROM, search the forum and post in Q&A's or Dev thread.

Dunno if it's been covered by someone already, but there's only so much the search bar can do from my phone.

I am using X10i I am on O2-uk

Even when I am sat next to someone that has full 3G signal, I am totally unable to get anything.

I've had this phone for just a year now an idea have never had a 3G signal. The best I can do is get H

The status bar claims to have 3G bit as soon as I try an use the connection, for ANY reason, it instantly switches back over to H

So basically my issue is........ WTF!?!?
