[HTC Desire S] trippinz:
I am using the latest radio (2.20 i think) and i am experiencing major drops in connection. I am using a pre rooted stock radio and I barely gain 1 bar mobile signal connection.

Please advise
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Really? I'm using radio from the .4 update.

And signal is poor on 3g areas..

I was considering upgrading to the latest .

I used this one: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 , with Endymion it worked great but with cyano 7.1 I had battery drains (tiamat kernel), so I installed 20.48.30.0822U_3822.09.08.20 and it's ok now.

With first radio endy 2.2 was charged on 4-th day! :)

[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
It breathes fire. ;-)

Yes I believe it was, also I never had any issues regarding the radio, and this was from using Endymion, Virtuous and MIUI, with kernels of Endymion, Unity 10, and Tiamat.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
HAHA!!!!

Sorry, stupid prediction, I meant to say:

'Does it drain battery faster than the older radio version?'

Hahahaha

Wow, how's the Galaxy Nexus too?

Guess your still hanging on to your Desire S too? :D

To say the least I have a desire and a desire s alarm clock ;-)

Seriously though the nexus has a few bugs and crashes but I've got to admit it tops my desire s in every way :-(

Except that irresistible aluminium body .. but in saying that this phone is light as!

Gave up on sense awhile ago, started using miui a long time ago, sense is good but is bloated, but that is my opinion. I do use my phone purely for calls, text and internet.

[TouchPad General] jcsullins:
It means call HP Tech Support.

EDIT:

It means to call HP because you need to send the device to them for repair. Sorry.

Have u installed android? QHSUSB is the "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics".

When the touchpad is installed as "Palm" try the "ACME Installer" method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
Just got my VZW galaxy nexus, and im loving it so far, but have noticed something odd: toward the top of the screen (about 1/4 of the way down from the top) there seems to be a very slight green tint, noticeable only when looking at a dark background (like the settings menu).

It's kind of hard to explain, does anyone else have something similar on their phones? Is this normal for amoled screens or should I ask for a replacement phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i believe it has to do with it being a pentile screen... well, 'HD' pentile, but still..

i'd say if you try an exchange, make sure you the test the other in store first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
can anyone with a galaxy nexus please post a photo of their phone on the settings menu? (scroll all the way down)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burningembers:
Pretty sure the setting menu is a background gradient with an intended color shift.

But yeah, mine has a blueish/greenish hue if I tilt the phone away or towards me in portrait mode. Straight-on, I don't notice anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
yeah i am talking about viewing straight on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ad78:
mine has this greenish tint slightly at the top right screen...

that settings menu then scroll all the way down is normal.. the color is not as dark as the top. I'm seeing greenish tint when on white background
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazeco:
I have a very light greenish tint on the right side of the phone on white backgrounds with text when at low/automatic brightness. The green goes away when I bump brightness to 40%+.

Did you try that?

Oddly, when I ran pixel checker, the pure white background has no green tint to it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusMMM:
Yeah, at low brightness I see a tint/haze but at full brightness, everything looks beautiful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Welcome to the world of pentile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ]grimm[:
I see the same green tint on my screen. I thought it was normal, but I compared it to another unit today and saw that my display was both dimmer at the same brightness level and had a greenish cast and different color temperature than the unit I was comparing it to. I'm not sure if this is within the normal variance for these displays, but my phone certainly looks worse to me than the one I compared it to.

Both units also showed a green/blue tint when viewed off axis but with greater discoloration on mine. The second unit showed almost no discernible tint when viewing a white screen straight on unlike mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gmanex:
i have the same problem. Sometimes (usually after a power down and restart) my entire screen is very dark and has a, very obvious, green tint to it. I compared my phone to my girlfriends at the same display setting and the tint is very obvious (especially when i'm viewing menu, text messages, browser). When i adjust the brightness it seems to make it less obvious, but still there. However after certain power down and restart this "green tint" seems to 'go away' only to either gradually re-appear or just happen when my phone self adjusts to "automatic brightness" setting.

p.s. my phone also, had another minor issue of random re-start when listening to music (via google music) and adjusting the sound effects option. After that restart my phones display was significantly tinted and dark. Weird, Either way getting a replacement unit tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoctorSasquatch:
Mine has a very slight green tint on the left hand side of the screen when at the lowest brightness and viewing a white background.

I normally have the brightness bumped up a bit, but it still bugs me when I have it low

EDIT: Checked pixel checker, has the green tint. I can definitely see it on the keyboard as I'm typing this though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazeco:
I took my unit in to Verizon today for an exchange. New one doesn't have as significant of color shifting or banding issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
yeah i got mine replaced the next day, all good now. No green tint, reduced banding, and much better viewing angles (the first one heavily tinted green or pink colors when viewing it from the right or left side, respectively)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoctorSasquatch:
Alright, got a replacement today.

No green tint that I can see, almost no banding and the colors don't change like, at all when I tilt the phone.

Now my nexus truly is perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Sorry, I find this very hard to believe. *ALL* pentile AMOLEDs change colours like crazy when you look at them at a sharp angle. It's a characteristic trait of this kind of display.

Pics from various angles or it didn't happen. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoctorSasquatch:
Yeah, I was exaggerating, but compared to how bad it was with the other one its crazy. Very less noticeable than my first one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SenorFusion:
Best? Worst?

Pros and Cons?

Obivously it's a little early to have a ton of info on each (at least in the states) but I'm sure this thread will prove useful as more people at theirs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Celeras:
I didnt make it out of the parking lot with the Otterbox. It's a great case and I feel like I could throw my phone off a building without any damage. However I didnt notice how much girth it added to the phone until I tried to put it in my pocket.. things a tank. Easily doubles the width, so keep that in mind if its important to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
I have the casemate toughcase. Originally i liked it but now not so much. The silicone was a dust and pocket lint magnet and it started peeling up corners of my zagg screen protector. It just didnt fit right but i have the gsm gnex which is a tad thinner. I tested the otterbox in a vzw store tonight and i hated it. Everytime i touched the screen the protector made little tap like noises because it wasnt touching the screen. Again....i think its because the otterbox is made for the LTE nexus. I have the diztronic tpu case in matte black and also the smoke color and ive been happy with them so far. They also do not add any bulk. I have to wonder why anyone would want to get a thin and light phone only to add a bulky looking case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hiohokaybye:
I have the casemate tough case, I don't mind the dust trapping cuz it really doesn't do anything. I have the gsm version, the top and bottom part is a tinyyyy bit loose, but also doesn't bug me. The thickness is perfect and i think its as much protection as i need so... I hope that helps :0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takgeun68:
I have case mate tough and pop case, and I highly recommend the pop case, the design, protection, feel, it sums up as the best case for me...I use otterbox for most of my devices, and the case mate pop case does not lack any of the protection compare to otterbox
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I just ordered a case mate pop. How does it seal around the front face (glass)?

Also, does the part that seals to the glass attack lint?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogreenbay07:
What about a screen protector? What is best one that doesn't make the screen feel or look weird?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I've had the Pop for other phones. It's a nice case, my only complaint about that series is the side rubbers. They tend to wear off as time goes on and starts becoming loose.

Provides excellent protection though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HoOnZ:
I don't have the phone yet (ordered online) but I bought the incipio case for it earlier today. Anyone else tried it on their LTE GNex? Thoughts? I didn't see a Otterbox case for it at the Verizon store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solid009:
I got the incipio case with mine when I picked it up earlier. So far, I like it, its real tight fitting and doesn't add a whole lot of thickness. Only downside is the silicone around the edges is a lint magnet while in the pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Devhux:
I have the incipio case and really like it. Fits snugly around my GSM Nexus and isn't too big. I had the Case Mate tough case with my S II and just found it too big

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carnagey:
Sedio has some really nice cases. I have had one for nearly 2 years now for my original Droid. It has protected it well although it did crack eventually after many drops.

I also bought the sedio car mount/charger and really liked that as well.

Sedio is a bit pricey... 2 years ago the car charger mount was at least $50 and the case was $20-$25. It was a very thin form fitting case that is plastic but has a almost rubbery feel to it. Very tough and it barley added any thickness to my Droid which was amazing. Guess that is why it was so pricey.

I got the shell holster charger combo when I ordered my GN yesterday... waiting for it to arrive... as patiently as I can!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonazen:
I tried the Otterbox in the VZW store on my GNex -- certainly looked industrial and protective, but it made the phone huge. The Incipio seemed like a good compromise - the rubber inner part goes on easily, and the plastic snap-over layer keeps it nice and snug to the phone. The egde protrudes just enough so that you can place the phone glass down without the glass touching a table - perfect.

No screen protector yet - and I may not. It may not be Gorilla Glass, but it's been shown to be "fortified", and I won't put it in my pocket with keys or change... The Incipio seems like a good choice so far...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chad24taylor:
Anyone have a link for the black Case-Mate Pop case? I can only seem to find the white one.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
The Defender (The more expensive, bigger one) or the Commuter?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SenorFusion:
So I've already ordered the Case Mate Tough, because I didn't know there was a Pop for the Nexus yet.

They don't show it listed on the actual Case Mate site Nexus page.

What are the differences between the Tough and the Pop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HoOnZ:
I have the Otterbox Commuter for my Razr and it looks like the silicone shares the same properties of picking up everything in my pocket. lol

I really like the Case-Mate Tough Case which I had with my HTC Sensation and it didn't pick up as much lint as the Otterbox commute or now possibly the Incipio.

I can't wait for my phone to arrive so I can finally try for myself. :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
If you google Seidio, Case-mate, and Otterbox... you will find lots and lots of people complaining about their Seidio cases. I have owned a few and will not buy from them again.

Commuter or Defender?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sniper1087:
the question is which of these fit the GSM Version well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Diztronic only $10 from eBay. Perfect fit and no bulkiness added.

I have the GSM version as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HoOnZ:
Just bought the Otterbox case and its huge! Not so bad without the holster though. So ill decide which case is for me when my GNex arrives.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I have this case too. Actually I have both the matte black and matte smoke and it's very classy. Hardly adds any size increase and the screen is still easy to use even with my Zagg installed. I do wonder though since it's matte in the back if it's easier to drop....and if so then if it will provide enough protection? I don't drop phones though mostly.

I tried the Otterbox Defender in the VZW store last night to see if it would fit my GSM Nexus and honestly, I thought it was horrid. It added so much bulk to the phone it barely fit in my pocket. Also the outside silicone will be a dust magnet in no time. I also noticed how the screen protector didn't quite sit on the curved glass. So when I would press, I'd hear noise which was annoying. The phone also rattled up and down....I just don't think it fits like it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
I have both the case-mate Tough Case and just got the Incipio Slicrilic today.

An Otterbox Commuter is in the mail.

So far I own 3 basic TPU, the Cruserlite Androidified, the Diztronic, the Rock barely there and the above two.

I must say that overall so far I like the Incipio the most, for protection and button action.

The Tough Case has a really sticky powerbutton, so that takes points off from it.

The volume buttons are a bit off on the Diztronic, though overall case design is excellent, and the power button is exposed for easy feedback.

All other TPUs have buttons fully covered, (basic TPU x3 and the Cruzerlite) and they are last on the list. Free for the shipping cost to anyone who wants them :)

The ebay Rock 'barely there' is second in my list, for small size, protection and full access to ports.

My unit is the GSM version; we'll see how the Otterbox Commuter tips the scales next week :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian6685:
Does the vzw pop case work with the gsm nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyhigh2004:
So after reading this its confirmed to be loose on a GSM nexus but in the other otter box thread it fits great? I'm confused. I have a GSM and really want a defender but only if it fits well. Does the defender fit both screen in and out in the holster?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No idea about the holster. The verizon rep actually was the one who pointed out how it rattled and i was the one who noticed the screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
I have a CaseMate Tough and it is actually pretty good. However, the power button just doesn't work well.

Easy fix. I got the Dremel and widened to about twice the origina lenght.

Working great now and I can acually us emy thumb to turn the phone on.

I ordered the Incipio SILICRYLIC today...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carnagey:
Actually I remember I had a problem myself. The front piece wouldn't stay on, and alot of people were having the same problem. I had to contact Sedio and they sent a replacement.

What I liked about the Sedio case was it added very little to the bulk of the phone. Most people could not even tell it had a case, but it did protect the phone in many falls. Eventually it did crack though and I used black electrical tape to keep it together the last 2 months I used my original droid.

For what it was, I did feel it was expensive. I also did not feel it was one of the better cases for protecting the phone because it would crack if it fell hard enough or enough times.

The one thing it did have going for it was that ultra thin form factor that added almost nothing to the bulk. I loved that.

Would I buy another sedio case? I would do my homework first and see what the reviews were first for my particular phone first.

I bought the case that Verizon was offering at a special price with a car charger and screen protector when I ordered my Nexus. I like the case but the case does not protect the top or bottom of the phone when it is out of the holster.

I doubt I will use the holster so I am a bit worried about it falling on the top or bottom of the phone. I do like the kickstand on the case... the case is only a little bit thicker than the sedio I had so it doesn't add alot to the phone in bulk.

I may end up getting another case with more protection as I am a bit uneasy about this one. I'll be watching this forum and others to see what others recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Just as a quick update the Case Mate Tough DOES NOT fit the Verizon LTE GN.

The case goes on very snug and feels extremely sturdy without adding a ton of bulk, so I was excited about using it BUT

The size difference between the LTW and GSM or some other design flaw, causes both the power buttons and volume rocker to be pressed down completely when the cover is put on, making it effectively useless.

This was with the regular battery.

I also have the extended battery and it clearly will not work with that either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I love my case mate tough. I have a GSM GN. The fit is great, a little loose at the top but only ever so slightly. The back of the case is nicely textured which gives great one handed grip. For me the added thickness is great as I have big hands.

The case has already proven its worth when my GN survived being knocked off a worktop and landing face down on a tile floor on the day after fitting the case!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I have the VZW extended battery and just got my Otterbox Commuter case today. It fits perfectly, I love it !!!

Highly recommend the Commuter case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
Any pictures? I want to get the Commuter as well but I'm still unsure as to the fit of it around the phone. Did you order from the Otterbox website?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bobb_o:
With stock back or the extended back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cebosound:
I checked them all out online. Otterbox is a quality product for sure. I had never been a huge fan of otterbox, mainly due to thier bulkiness. But I was considering a little extra protection for my LTE Gnex, so defo considered the otterbox commuter. ... In the end i decided to purchase the CaseMate Tough Case. It seemed like it was a little less bulky and had less input covers. So it seems like it will work the best for my situation.

I should receive it in a few days. I will post back with my impressions of my new case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChrisAG:
Incipio Silicrylic vs. Otterbox Commuter

Incipio Silicrylic vs. Otterbox Commuter

I tried both in the store. These are roughly the same size, though both add bulk I would give the edge to the Silicrylic in keeping things slim.

The Commuter's buttons are raised too much - not only does it look worse but I figured they might get caught on tighter pockets. The Silicrylic's buttons are more flush yet are easy to operate and find by feel. Silicrylic has open slots for the ports, the Commuter has silicone flaps.

The Silicrylic's plastic wraps around the corners, while the Commuter's plastic wraps around the sides. This makes the Commuter slick to hold compared to the Silicrylic, whose silicone and plastic feel grippier. You'd have to try to drop this phone.

The back of the Incipio has some "air" between it and my GSM GN, though the sides and top are snug (similar to the Barely There). I forget if the Commuter had this gap.

In the end I went with the Incipio Silicrylic. Button action is superb and it felt better in my hands, offering a comfortable secure grip. You can't go wrong with either case but the Incipio was slightly better.
