[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I got one, I figured "tough case" incase I decide to go do or be somewhere where my phone might need it instead of my "pretty" SGP Neo Hybrid. + I needed a car charger. 8 bucks ain't bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hammersuit:
Haha yeah I really wanted one of those cases but when I saw this deal i couldn't resist. I'll let everyone know how it fits etc. and if the accessories work once it all comes in. I ordered yesterday, shouldn't be too far away!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Globalrebel:
Ended up buying one myself. I'm sure the chargers will break sooner or later, but for the price . . . why not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pierre3408:
I have the same case, just got it on Friday. I've bought accesories many times from Itrimmings on e-bay and have never been dissapointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] datboy143:
For that price i couldn't refuse....Nice case by the way doesn't add weight to the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fjr1300sgs2:
I have this case from itrimmings and LOVE IT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I got the case and a different chargers in the full package today for 8 bucks it's alright but I don't feel comfortable dropping the phone in this case
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
I guess now it is too good to be true.:D

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joshuadjohnson22:
pics anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Globalrebel:
For the $8 bucks, I'll tell you this. . . Well worth the $$ I paid. I got an extra wall charger for work, extra USB cable for the computer/lappy, extra car charger for trips.

The case, VERY NICE for what it cost (I think with everything else, the case would come out to $4) I am having some trouble getting used to the power button being harder to press, but other then that I can't say anything bad about it.

All the holes fit perfectly, it *kinda* sticks in your pocket, so its hard to pull it out while driving if needed. Other then that, I'd have to say its good enough for my needs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
A cheap case is fine, but your phone could flame up or explode using the wrong battery or charger. I think someone died once because of a pocket explosion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raduque:
Nice case for a decent price. Like the looks of it, but can't stand the feel of TPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fishline:
Can anyone comment on whether the car charger (and wall charger) works with i777? I got a generic car charger when I upgrade the phone, but when I plug the phone into it in the car, the battery level _drops_ instead of increases! That basically makes it impossible to use the phone as GPS...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Amazing deal. Thanks!!!!

Just bought it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] browncarpet:
TPU are surprisingly good cases. I have a matted black case and a friend of mine (iPhone owner) was playing with my phone and didn't even know if had a case on it. That's impressive for sub $10. People so get ripped off at box retailers for these things.
[HTC Sensation] theholyfork:
So I'm getting a new phone. Right now I have a Cliq 2, but I'm getting a new one in the next week.

Right now I'm trying to decide between this, the G2x, or the GSII. I would say the Amaze, but I've heard bad things about it.

I'm not trying to get you guys to tell me why I should get this phone over the others, I'd just like to know what this phone is like. What are the ups? The downs? How's the phones radio? Custom ROMs? Battery life? And anything else you feel might be good to know before I make a decision.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] corwest:
Well I would scratch off the G2x right off the bat and as for the other two? There is a thread about the GS2 and the Sensation a little ways down if you want to find it.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
What did you heart bad about the Amaze? I see others jumping to that from this phone.
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Yeah..they jump because its being offer by their provider due to issue having with out senny :P. Not because its owesome!! Lol
[HTC Sensation] theholyfork:
Yeah, I've heard that it's the phone the sensation was supposed to be, but apparently it's got awful battery life and a very small development community.

Nothing to bad, but if this phone is almost exactly like the Amaze, I'd rather go with this, because it's cheaper
[HTC Sensation] wadill:
Honestly just go look at the amaze forum. As far as I can see it isn't even fully rooted yet. I am happy with my sensation.. yes... Will I switch to a better phone the first chance I get... Yes... The t-mobile sg2 has almost the same hardware and really we still have the best phone they offer. Is the regular sg2 more powerful.. yes, but in reality there are a lot of things better with the sensation. It's all opinion though.. is the dev dead here.. no not really. We have superior sense development continuing on a daily basis here. The aosp dev is crawling because no code release from cm7. Ics is slower to dev on this phone definitely and noone has a good reason why. Personally I am satisfied with the sensation... Am I looking for the next thing I can afford and get... Yeah I am

Edit: And o yeah just x out the G2x its in a different league now in comparison
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Haha yea the Amaze. Xboarder is doing a commendable job trying to keep the dev community alive over there, but TBH it looks pretty slow over there. I think it's just him, Mike, NRG and ComputerKid holding down the fort. Faux might have dabbled in an Amaze kernel, but that's more or less it. It's too bad though. Seems like pretty nice hardware. Too bad it's US exclusive (I think?) so the dev community will remain small on that side of the fence.

Anyway, to the original question. Off the top of my head:

Sensation ups:

Relatively inexpensive now

Nice screen

Good dev community, kind of slow on ROMs lately but there isn't much else to do until ICS. Our kernel devs however are still very active.

Pretty snappy once you rid yourself of the stock rom/kernel

Official ICS is coming early next year per HTC

Sensation downs:

Wifi deathgrip when holding the phone in landscape (this one really sucks)

Reports of dust getting under the screen near the volume rocker (get a case that covers the volume rocker!)

Cell antenna is integrated into the removable back cover

Terrible battery life

Terrible speaker and low volume

CM7 never made it out of alpha stage

No true AOSP ROMs available for the speed freaks

You should probably ask this same question in the SGS2 forum.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Having just bought a sensation myself, I'm a little biased. Having said that, I'd stay far away from the g2x, I researched for weeks before deciding on a sensation and there are a LOT of people with a LOT of problems with the LG phone. I personally don't like the tmo version of the GS2, too big with a low res screen. I really like my sensation so far but I've only had it a single day.

Any of these will be a major step up from the cliq2 though, so I'd say read the forums and go with the one that suits you best.
[HTC Sensation] Antonioffaxii:
There are rumours that Telstra (Australia) might be releasing the Amaze as their flagship 4G device.

That might help dev movement a little.
[HTC Sensation] abachhan75:
my inputs on sensation:

Pros:

screen, speed, build quality, touchscreen responsiveness, Good ROM options on XDA

, excellent sound quality via headphone, nice camera (for both stills and movie)

Cons:

Bad speaker volume, Battery (Can be improved with aftermarket one like Anker), Poor cellular reception, wifi death grip

I have also used SGS2 of my friend and LG optimus one, both get more cellular signal bars than sensaion. Even my old BB curve has better reception for both cellular and wifi.
[HTC Sensation] KadaverHTCS:
HTC Sensation 4G- price-performance ratio: Ok

That's not quite my opinion! ;)

I'm using the Sensation since April and I'm actually satisfied by using this phone! I have installed a custom ROM with other Kernel (CM7.1 based on Bricked AOSP v1.4ondemand_p1984)without Sense and without any HTC or Provider Apps. Everything nice to use!:rolleyes:

But!!! :confused:

It might be better in terms of so many things!!

:eek:

Positive: :)

It have the perfect size and form for a mobile phone- nice to handle, right size of display to manage and watch movies, have a very good camera with LED spots, it's excellent to listen to music over headphones, etc.

Everything perfect, you think!? :confused:

Negative: :mad:

you have to hold it with two fingers to get no restriction by receiving mobile networks or wifi, bad battery performance with standard ROM, high heat production while charging or using internet (3g or wifi), RAM and internal memory could be some more, the overall quality of housing and little parts (the materials of Samsung phones or especially Apple iPhones looks and feels better, "more expensive")

Summarized:

nice smartphone for beginner! relatively low price! lots of ROM's!

could have!

no must have!!!

;)

But I also think, that the other smartphone manufacturers similar problems have!

So HTC is on a good way, I think! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
The amaze is a way better phone then the sensation I just changed to it from the sensation, there isn't many devs but its further then the sensation was at this same time since release the unlock of the bootloader still lets you flash whatever you want and the battery life for me is better, I'm running sense nrgz28s rom its way faster then my sensation ever was, camera is way better front and back and storage space is better, more development will come to it and since HTC will be updating to ics this will be a better phone since it has nfc support as well I'd go for the amaze its also not a us exclusive wind mobile and telus carry it too I believe outside the us. IMO the only other comparable phone is the gs2 but I can't stand lower resolution aftee qhd
[HTC Sensation] mcruzer82:
I used to have the g2x but got sick of the random shut downs, tmobile replaced my g2x twice and I finally gave up on it. I have the sensation now and am pretty happy with it. The screen is a little bigger and much clearer than G2X. My only complaint is the speakerphone is very weak. Volume is too low to hear if in a crowded/loud area even on highest level. There's lots of great roms and support for this phone. I personally like hypersensation for it's minimalist feature set. Don't have any experience with the SGII but my sister has it and has been having some problems with it so it might be a few updates away from being perfect. The sensation has been out for a while now so most of the kinks have been worked out already. I get about 8 hours of pretty heavy use out of it on a single charge with an upgraded battery (more than a day with light use). I would recommend it.
[HTC Sensation] DanRo80:
Did he really just say that Samsung materials and feel of the phone is more expensive feeling than an HTC?
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
Problems with an LG phone!? Never! :D

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

But the iPhone is glass so dropping it usually means a shatter, and the GSII is plastic, along with most Samsung's, so they tend to feel cheap.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
I have an autonooter nc 1.1. have been really happy with it, but I am wanting the ability to use netflix as well as have adobe flash. autonooter was easy enough for a n00b like me. however, i have been debating for the last month whether to go up to 1.3 and run manual nooter. It seems intimidating compared to autonooter. Also it is my understanding I need to wipe my nc first then do the 1.2 and 1.3 updates, then nooter. Is wiping as simple as doing the 8 reboots? is manual nooter much simpler than it seems at first read?

I keep seeing ADB in threads and I am wondering if it is something I should have on my laptop? I had tried to get it on my desktop but something didnt work. my laptop is new and my nook has never been connected to it, can i try to install the ADB drivers or do I need to have had my nook connected at least once before doing so? I am interested in learning more about the dev side, though i have never been a dev in any way. but it seems to me having ADB would allow me to do things on that end.

any advice would be great. also if i run into questions while nootering would i post them here or in the other forum? for simple things like what does this or that mean id assume to post here, but if i get stuck in a step would i just post it in the nooter thread?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
I can't really say much for the nooter root methods, but having and being familiar with adb is a great tool to have in the toolbox. Not just for the nook, but other devices (once you get a taste of this stuff, it only gets worse).

For the NC it is easy enough. Assuming you're on windows, run the android sdk installer, and download the appropriate packages. The NC doesn't work by default, but if you search for adb on the forums here, there is a post by xboxexpert (or however he spells it) with a batch file that takes care of what you need.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
i actually used that method when installing on my desktop. something didnt work right and i couldnt get it figured out. soooo i guess ill start fresh with ADB on the laptop and hope somehow it goes better. I am using windows 7 now, my other machine was xp, maybe that will make a difference. right now I am wiping the nook and trying to decide between nooter or cm7. im also trying to decide if I want to boot from a card or flash to emmc. too many choices and too much reading ;) I may have been better off not researching all the different things to do. since now I seem to be more confused than when I first came here , oh well here goes nothing.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Nah. More reading = better informed = less mistakes & better choices

Just don't forget about that search button! :-)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
You'll probably find win7 a bit easier with ADB that xp. And having a good working install of ADB will most likely save your butt in the future. Biohazard is right....soooo much to learn! And you will notice it's kinda slow booting from uSD than eMMc.

Have fun!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
actually im having the same problem with windows 7 as i did with xp. i posted in the thread for adb driver installation so hopefully someone will help me get it worked out. im sure its something simple i am just not seeing, thanks for the advice

I want to use Notepad or whatever to populate in bulk the "XT9 my words" list then update them on the phone.

Is this possible?

I have rooted the phone but its otherwise stock, though I want to do it for someone else's phone without rooting it if possible as well...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
right this is my first post in the many years i have been on xda, i have read and read, and well basically i cant find a tutorial or even a mod that has miui rom with a none miui stock launcher, im sure many of us love miui and hate its default launcher and i have seen similar questions asking about an alternative launcher to which the only answer seems, just download one from market, and set as default.... yeah thats what i do, but when i go into settings and i see launcher settings its for stock miui, grr, i would like to have one launcher (LP, ADW, Zeam, hell even stock GB launcher), not the stock miui 'iphone style' launcher, and have the launchers settings in settings , much like cyangenmod with his adw, and adw settings in settings!

i have tried editing the settings apk, the personal xml and all that, but tbh im not too savvy on that and i just seem to break things and get FC's....

anyway little rant over, does anyone else agree with me, and even better to that, does anyone have the skill and willing to either help me in creating a miui rom with a non miui launcher or just create it themselves? (with its launcher settings in settings)

imagine that... Miui with and android look, straight out the box!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
just out of curiosity, what launcher would everyone prefer to have with miui?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stargazer418:
I don't know if what you described is possible, but I would recommend Go Launcher EX. It's very similar to MIUI, but it has an app drawer. It's easily themeable and has a built-in theme shop like MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
hey its android, if it was written, it can be re-written (at least i hope so) lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
anyhow, i have found this in the Settings.apk\res\xml\personal_settings.xml

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/launcher_settings_title" android:key="launcher_settings" android:image="@2130837580">

<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.launcher" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.launcher2.LauncherPreferenceActivity" />

</PreferenceScreen>

i dunno if this is a step in the right direction, or even in any direction, it seems to me that the settings.xml doesnt have anything for the launcher, but this personal_settings.xml does, any devs willing to help me, a complete novice?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
Any ideas? Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dargocitfer:
The difficulty seems to be that MIUI is closed source, so only the people who are part of the core project (in China) can really make deep level changes like that.

There are several devs who are compiling their own copies of MIUI, and adding various tweaks and fixes, but embedding a link to the settings of a different launcher into the settings page of the ROM seems like it would require some source-level information, which just isn't available.

The people who created MIUI obviously like their launcher, so it's doubtful they'll ever add support for other launchers, either. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroomskull:
ah bummer... so am i at a lost cause? to be honest the only thing i like about miui is the way it breaks the settings down into 3 simple pages - personal, system, and programs. anyway thanks for the unfortunate news (my brain can rest now yay!) ...... unless maybe..... ah lol its 4:30am, i must sleep on this decision to quit or not, night xda!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
I know we've had a few threads speculating about this only to have them come back in stock and go again quickly. Now however it looks like BestBuy has pulled them from their website. Looks like this great little tab is now officially no longer available in US wifi version. Didn't think it was really happening when all signs pointed to this last week.

Below is an image of what used to be the Flyer page on Bestbuy.com
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
So it is. Happy I read the tea leaves and got mine while it was available.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thetruth1983:
It's a shame because it was a great tablet. I'm going to run outside and pour out a little liquor for it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wontstoptalking:
Oh no! Are they going to pull it from shelves? Or is this just online?

I was seriously about to get one just the other day, but I decided to wait until next week. Should I be worried?

First Best Buy baits-and-switches with the Transformer being $300 (which is illegal, I'm sure), then this :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
It would be more specific to people if the thread title was changed to no longer available in the 'US at Bestbuy' as the world IS a darn site bigger...

Plus, the official US version is the View.

Still plenty left for the rest of us. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Westfire:
The Flyer has been a good tablet however I am really looking forward to the HTC Quattro and Samsung's new offering coming up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Well as I have said before the supply is not infinite and they sure as hell are not going to start up the production line again. So its only a matter of time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Div033:
It was still in the BBM in my mall today. I can't see why they'd take it out of stores so close to the holidays...

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
As soon as this was posted, prices on Ebay and amazon used skyrocketed. Prices of the scribe also went up.

XDA forum posts determine the fate of world markets.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
It is specific. P512 is the best buy model.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] forx:
lol,as if bestbuy us is the only seller in the world etc ..

would suggest zooming google maps out a bit more,them other lumps o dirt arent owned by usa and funnily enough manage quite well without bestbuy,whoever bestbuy is,never heard o them me'sen.they the us branch of poundshop?....

hehehe
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Lol. Bestbuy was the official US source for the P512 wifi only model. The point isn't really Bestbuy per se, it's about this model now more than likely being discontinued.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vince2008:
yah...loved their pound cake too...yummy!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jscott30:
Yep, here in the US, Best Buy (a large electronics store chain) had an exclusive deal with HTC to sell the P512 (that many of us refer to as the Best Buy wifi only model). If Best Buy is out of that particular model, then that model has completed its run.

I'm sure that there are still plenty of other ways to get the other View / Flyer models around the world. I'm just glad that I got in on the deal on the P512 before they sold out. This is a great tablet, and I plan to use it for as long as I can.

And, I can understand that some might see this thread as being US-centric since it is only about the US Best Buy tablet, but the OP never said anything about the Flyer / View being done world-wide. Us USA folks just won't be able to walk into our neighborhood Best Buy and purchase this particular model.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Actually the View 4g is Sprint specific. The Best Buy WiFi only Flyer (P512) is not the same, and was released before the view. Before you try to correct an OP, you should know what you're talking about.

My tab's Flyer than yours! Unless this is posted in a Flyer thread, then it's just as Flyer...

http://android-gz.com
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
This is true but in fact it is the only US specific model of the "Flyer" series.

The other CDMA (market specific) model is the ExpressKT or Korean Flyer.

And before making an arrogant statement like that you should check *YOUR* "facts" particularly when the two others who mentioned this meant it as a little bit of light-hearted ribbing. The P512 is the WIFI only model. It is neither BestBuy nor US specific. It is a global model. The only difference between the "US BestBuy" model and the rest of the world is that it has a Brightstar CID and other markets have a different CID and for a long time we had no RUU for it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Didn't know the overseas wifi version was also the P512. Let's not make it a huge issue. I'll update the title.
