I had a case like this on my ipad for a while (mine was actually a Scosche but they look really similar). I really liked it. Mine was not exactly a hard cover, more like a firm cardboard. It should at least help to disperse pressure on your screen.

a friend of mine has this for iphone. basically, when an incorrect pin is entered on the lock screen the app displays a custom message the user inputs and uses the front facing camera to take a picture of the person who is using the phone! really cool. any idea if anything like this exists for droid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heppieboeddah:
Something like AndroidLost maybe

Camera

AndroidLost can take pictures with the front facing camera in case the phone is stolen.

Thanks for enlightening me about this super app! For just a few bucks you can remotely lock and wipe up to 5 phones, take pics, track the location on Gmaps etc. Simply amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flippingout:
Great recommendation. Just installed the ICS beta...works great and I'll be buying the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
So....will the app automatically send the picture to your email or it requires you to select "auto upload to Google+"? I hope not the second option cuz I HATEEE the way Google+ not letting us deleting the uploaded pictures from our gallery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kochisgood4you:
I don't make a habit of complaining about permissions. But why do we basically have to give this app control of everything, Skynet style.

yes the pic will be send to your email that you wil enter there while settuping new account with them. :) it can be any email. i just tried myself..it the best thing i ever saw.

i know where is your question coming from - but i have to tell you that you would be surprised how many apps are accessing the same info as this one is. i dont wanna call names - but titanium back up - for example and much more. try LBE privacy guard and find out. almost all GAMELOFT games are asking for emei and even sms log or call log mate/location as well - so i think it will make no difference and if you wanna be able locate your device remotely or even make a pic you have to givea permision to the app providing such a service.

you have to live with it or not use the special "protection"

I loaded this and it works fine on my Galaxy Nexus. The only thing funny is that the pictures seem to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the way the phone was being held.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 80hd:
The version of cerberus I used with my GN has an option where the screen goes all white and then snaps a picture with the front camera as soon as the screen is touched.

I also setup Cerberus to email everything to an account that isn't setup on the phone so if the phone is gone, the person holding it can't delete the emails.

Good stuff! I was looking for something like this! Another app you guys may want to try is an app that locks down your apps with a password or pattern. I havent installed one on my Gnex yet but I used one on my EVO (actually, come to think of it, it was native to MIUI).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bogeydog:
I have an odd issue. The phone will not complete a call consistently when in the same room as router. It sometimes will do so if I move to a different floor in the house. Internet works great. Screen sits and displays "dialing." SMS also sporadically works.

Facts:

Router - Netgear N750 with b, g, n

Router bridged to Fios router

No issues with other wireless items: Blackberry, laptops

Networks, 2.4 and 5g show and have proper security, both set to WEP

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grrgrrgrr:
Hey guys, It's been awhile since I have been here, I have my evo 4g running Infected ROM and now im looking to change to a new ROM.

But before I do that, I forgot the rules, how to change

to be more specifically, I want to do a FULL WIPE, SDcard or not, everything gone!

------------

Does CW mod allow me to delete everything before I install a new ROM?

or

are there some stuff that shouldnt be deleted?

(do I also delete Clockwork, Titanium or keep that in order to flash new rom?)

------------

I have backup all my phone contacts through google

I dont care about my mp3 and pics

I dont care for my SNES roms

I dont care for my dictionary

to my knowledge, I dont think I have anything else important and would like to do a full wipe. I don't want to see empty folders once I install a new ROM.

Wether in SDCARD or phone internal system (or is that not recommended)

what is the best way to achieve this?

Lastly, once that is done, what do I need, to reflash?

- New Rom

- Wimax,PRL,PRI

- PC136 zip???

thanks in advance and merry xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, bah humbug!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
See the guide I made, link in my sig. Start off with Amon Rather, follow everything after that. Any specific kind of features you are looking for in a ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grrgrrgrr:
Sorry for the late response.

I can't seem to find Amon Ra on the market anymore. I do have RoM manager, clockwork install...

I know I used that one to flash roms before.

As far as what type of ROM I am looking for now, honestly I do not know.

I want the following things in a ROM

-4G

- Strong Battery life

-Strong 4g signal (if possible, if not, the ##3282# Advance and Wimax already preset for it, if possible)

- MINIMAL APPS! I just need the apps or programs that is mandatory and can't be removed + Titanium, Clockwok and/or Amon Ra and/or Nandroid, a tether app. So less than Stock ROM.

All the other stuff I could careless for (Facebook, weather app, SMS, and all other BS app - I would perfer to install / modify myself)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lacedaemon:
First and foremost, you don't need to wipe ALL your stuff to flash a new ROM. All you need to wipe is your data, cache, and Dalvik cache, which can be done with all major recoveries.

Second, you can find the latest Amon Ra in my signature by clicking "Amon Ra 3.08".

The features you specified you want in a ROM all point to CM7. I'd try it out, it's an awesome ROM.

Hope this helps! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Grrrr.....

You should wipe everything EXCEPT SD Card. And lose CWM and ROM Manager.

Look, read my guide it has step by step for everything, including links to all that you need. Not to get into a "My guide is better than yours", but just click the link in my sig and get to it

I'm not sure if this method will root your phone without going through the hassle of HTCDev.com to unlock your boot loader - at least the post on XDA portal implied such

I've had it fall down some concrete stairs the other day and not only the phone kept working without any problem but also the case was intact and the screen had no really noticeable scratches. Never expected it to be so tough, and it's on my top 3 along with nokia 3310 and sony ericsson v630i.
