[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StingRay_:
I have the Otterbox Defender as well and am surprised at how much I like it... Typically like nothing on my phones but gotta have protection on this beauty...

Just got an Incipio Silicrylic in the mail to try... Definitely less bulk than the Otterbox... You can actually see some of the sexy lines of the Nexus with this case.... The Incipio provides some protection, as it does have at least some hard plastic to it, but not anything close to the Otterbox.. Not sure that my GNex would survive a fall on a hard surface in the Incipio....

Problem with the Incipio is that it will not fit in the Otterbox holster or the Verizon holster that I already have, so probably will go back to the OB Defender...

Anybody interested in making me an offer on a brand new Incipio or Verizon Case & Holder I will listen.... :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheXclusive814:
One reason for my Otterbox purchase was the holster. But i have never used it. It's too big to have clipped on my side.

I know no case will protect like the defender but im good with my phones to get a scaled down case. I thought about the commuter but not sure how much size difference there is.

What price you looking at for your incipio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StingRay_:
Here's a link to one on Amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00634HFEQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

I ordered mine last weekend and recieved today... Paid $24....now available for $13 so probably your best bet if interested...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheXclusive814:
I watched a review and it said with the extended battery the plastic outer shell just fit tightly against the silicone as it does at the top. Did you notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StingRay_:
Fit tight w/extended battery in, but not a problem in my opinion... I would bet it might even loosen up a bit over time...

I like the Incipio's look and feel... Much smaller size than OB, but have to have a holster to carry my GNex..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
It doesn't have quite the amount of protection (ie not waterproof) like the defender but soon Ballistic will release their case for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way and will be giving my Nexus S to my wife. My wife is like a phone's worst nightmare. She seems to always be dropping them and my two kids are both under 3 and the oldest loves to snatch our phones. I got the Ballistic case for the Nexus S for her and after putting it on yesterday I'm a believer. I already have it covered completely by Ghost Armor skin, and with the Ballistic case it's just very well protected. The bumpers on the corners are amazing and so is the fit and finish. Makes the phone pretty bulky (not as much as the defender) but it makes the phone much nicer to hold and type on. I would recommend it for the Galaxy Nexus. I have a TPU case on order but will pick up the Galaxy Nexus version Ballistic case too once it is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Do you have any quick impressions/pics of the Neo Hybrid? It'll be interesting to see how well it fits the LTE GNex since it was designed for the GSM non-extended battery GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redge4879:
I have the Incipio Silicrylic (aka Double Cover, VZW repackaged). It's a nice case and it fits well on the phone. It doesn't add too much bulk. I like that the hard cover goes around the corners, unlike the Otterbox Commuter. Cutouts for the phone are nice. No need to mess around with clumsy flaps. And the buttons work well under the silicone cover. Great case for less. I got mine at the Verizon store for $20 +tax after a discount. I don't use a holster, but I am looking into getting an XO Skin.

Another alternative that I was initially looking at was the Seidio Surface Combo. It's a hard soft-touch case with a holster, if you need the holster. They also sell it without.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] uscmule:
I was hoping to play with the facial recognition screen unlock feature in ICS. In the security settings, there is no option for facial recognition; only pin, pattern, slide, etc...

Anyone know why facial recognition isn't on that list? Is it a "phone only" feature?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ddelong22:
There will probably be facial recognition eventually, but I believe its a ROM based feature. I know the future builds of CM9 are going to come with it on their devices, but its pretty much up to ASUS whether its added to their ROM or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
So I'm in an all out WAR with AT&T right now. Not going to get into anything beyond the fact that their customer service reps treated me like flaming doodoo while i was nothing but nice. Game over

So any who, what other carriers in the USA will my infuse work on? Including the virgin mobile and boost and whatever other cheap unlimited plans out there?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Let me add that it has to be a reliable network lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeclark:
I think it is called Straight Talk, it uses the same frequencies as Att.

T-Mobile, straight talk, metro pcs ...I've unlocked and successfully ran on those networks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
sweet metro pcs has decent service around here. Awesome!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Really Do your research before you jump ships. Infused works on metro? And what speeds would you be getting?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
Yea I will for sure. but right now at&t has really screwed things up with me. They've treated me like crap and called me names. yes. seriously. and yes i was being nice. long story like i said.

But I'm living in an area with **** service but don't want to switch to verizon....bc its too expensive.

I'd rather be able to keep my infuse and unlock it.

Any other sources you guys can recommend? Google has brought me back here to canadian threads and not much else.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
nvm i googled tmobile n infuse...seeing what i get
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PVD04:
I understand wanting to keep your current phone, but fail to follow that Verizon is too expensive. The calling plans are exactly the same price as AT&T, the 2GB plan on Verizon is $5 more, and you can get 5 GB on Verizon for $5 more than the 4 GB plan on AT&T.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
insurance is triple the price, mobile to mobile is Verizon to Verizon, att is any carrier mobile. possible surcharges ect...

depends on your needs and usage I guess.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

not sure but I thought metro pcs was cdma, but they are the only service with lte in my area, if they also cater to GSM or I was mistaken about cdma then I may need to get an unlocked lte something or other and drop att.

anyway strait talk is powered by a number of carriers. they use att similar cards, T-Mobile Sims, and also have cdma phones. the sim is locked to the phone. basically the imei is more important than the sim and if you use the sim and sell the phone your sim is deactivated if the phone you buy is reactivated. also many of the phones use other ways to lock the sim. the only phones that the sim is att and compatible with the infuse are $200 Nokia smart phones as far as I know.

supposedly consumer cellular is att. haven't heard of any trying it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
I use less than 2g a month and barely any minutes, their cheapest plan put me with taxes and fees and unlimited texts at over 130$ ...not just a quote from a store that was my old bill in 09. att is about 110 and I switched it to a family plan with a friend so its only about 80 a month now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Consumer Cellular is AT&T - it's what my parents are using with my old Infuse.

However, Consumer Cellular specializes in very basic no-frills service - they're great if you want a dirt-cheap extremely light-use plan, but at even moderate use they can become very expensive. For example, their highest data plan is $20 for 200MB.

An Infuse on T-Mobile will be 2G-only.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
well....honestly....how bad s 2g? bc i don't have the money to get any other phone and the AT&T is most definitely getting canceled. I live in 11931 zip code...what other options do I have?

Unless....well...there is a case opened with AT&T and I, and the only resolution i could come to was to cancel the service. I had the VP of AT&T on the phone earlier (yes its that bad) and he asked if there was any other resolution and I said I believe my only option since i have no service here (and other things that happened) I have to cancel. He said he'll call me back monday.

Is there another phone option that would get better service? I mean I love my infuse and all my pretty bling cases for it so I don't really want to get rid of it...

does the GS2 get better signal and do the cases fit the same? ::crossing fingers::
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Yes sir. Metro pcs is cdma.

So the infuse will not work with it.

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Switching phones may be the other option if you want to keep at&t. I don't get reception with my infuse in areas my family or friends do have signal in, and they have at&t. GS2 is smaller I believe, well I know the screen is. But don't know about their signals.

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
hmm...well tmobile does work over wifi and has super green coverage for my area. my step brother has it and when he comes here he has full service on his galaxy. It would only cost me 40 a month for the pay as you go....and thats compared to about 80 a month now...

I don't have a job yet and that would be a better option....but not if my phone is going to suck balls.

Anyone think it will suck the big one being on 2g?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Well back in the day 2g was cool. But I was stuck on it while everybody was getting 3G then 4g, and now that I'm on the infuse, I've been spoiled by the speeds. So yes, "it will suck the big one". You don't want to sell the infuse?

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] katiecakez:
Ehhhh not really. I have all these pretty bling cases (yes I'm a chick its like shoes and pocketbooks) that probably won't fit the galaxy s2...and on top of that I do really like my phone. I just ordered a larger battery for it too.

I also don't see it getting all that much online...maybe 225 for it unlocked if i figured that out...and that wouldn't be enough money for me to get an s2 without a contract for tmobile pay as you go...or wait can you use that phone for pay as you go? because its not in the same section as the other no contract devices. I'm confused about that.

The main thing is to have a phone that works for less money or the same.

oh crap...i have the best buy buy back....

Atrix 2 seems kind of nice. I'm not a fan of motorola, but the specs are decent. U might wanna look into the forums for that phone and see if there's any issues for the users
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I would have a month ago as well.

I'm getting the GSM Galaxy Nexus in February...

And my sis needs the keyboard on this phone or I would trade

Also there are some promising ROMs looking to be released soon for this device that I'm intrigued in.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Getting to the top of the benchmarks that you wrote yourself doesn't make your product actually good. Tegra is nvidia TRASH, along with their history of being total douchebags over hardware documentation and the likes. Complete contempt for everything that makes sense.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sgtmedeiros:
Listen I know qualcomm makes snap dragon chips. HTC just always uses them. Tegra ran smoother for me on every device I've used.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I would not trade. I'm a hardware buttons and hardware keyboard kind of guy.

That said, I can't stand the MT4GS keyboard. Half the time I press space, I get tactile feedback. Half the time I get tactile feedback, I don't get a space in the text I'm typing.

The Shift, Alt, Enter keys are not where I expect them (one row too high). Let's face it, I'm still in love with my G1's keyboard. Maybe if I could turn my G1 into a bluetooth keyboard, and make the MT4GS accept it as such... possible?

I tried out the Sidekick (much worse, specs-wise)(but hella cheap at the time and still a vast improvement over the G1) and even its keyboard -- while more like what I'm used to -- wasn't quite what I could get on board with.

But no, I wouldn't trade the MT4GS for any other phone currently being sold by T-Mo. Haven't looked at other providers at all.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Id take an Amaze or GSII over my Doubleshot. It was a major let down, I've had 3 chances for those phones. But I'm just waiting for CM9, this kinda is the only duel core KB phone. But for a Atrix 2. Hella No.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] leoilios:
Yes I read about someone doing this with their g2 for games because they prefer that keyboard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] myipad96:
no the mytouch is a good phone with a great camera
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
I would only trade for an equal or better spec wise cell with the tilting screen n keyboard of the touch pro 2.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] asidrave:
i just bought a mt4g to replace my g2. i prefer a hw keyboard. i do alot of email and texting and an onscreen keyboard doesnt feel right to me. im hoping htc will release a new phone with a hw keyboard soon
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I hope the next one is the S4 Snapdragon processor, no need for another until then. I like this one and intend to enjoy it for a while, or until HTC puts out an S4 hardware keyboard one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] revo420:
I rather have my rooted G2 over a S-On non-rooted doubleshot. There was a fuse that went that renders my screen useless on the G2. I bought this because it was easier to find and the specs are much better. The keyboard is backwards though and a huge let down. Still, its some what useable most of the time. This phone is pretty useless without root. Damn kid upgraded the phone hours before I bought it after I told him not to prior to the purchase. :( I miss root!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Were I that worried about it myself, I'd have told him he lost out on a sale by doing that after having been told not to. But then, I'd've been using a G1 since October 2008, and wouldn't've minded the extra wait for a decent replacement. Obviously your situation was different; just sayin.

Did not realize until after and was cash transaction.I know this will be rooted eventually my thrive will keep me busy until then

A Samsung galaxy s 2.5 and/or nexus prime... Oh an mobile world congress...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Oh? And here I thought that was just an ETA for CM9 and official Doubleshot support. Of course, I don't remember reading exactly that, just that a lot of people are saying CM is coming and "in the works" and "Real Soon Now, if not by Tuesday"TM and others are saying they're waiting til Feb. I put 2 and 2 together, but maybe the first 2 are apples and the next 2 are oranges?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Nick.M.51988:
I have the Tegra 2 in my A500 and it's an amazing processor, However, I'd take the Snapdragon in a phone any day of the week.

The MT4GS Is an excellent phone, I've had my fair share of moto products and they have never lasted like HTC phones do. My Old MDA still boots up and runs flawlessly, the slider mechanism still works great and so does every button.

Hi there i have a rotted kindle fire with burrito root.

I rooted it yesterday and everything was fine, then i turned it off and back on later it worked fine.

the next day it hangs on the boot logo (it is animated no triangle)

adb recognizes it yet i cant access adb root, remount etc Permission denied.

I cant install TWRP

What i wanted to do was go to the /sdcard directory and push the update.zip there. but i cant because it read-only. How do i change any of these? Ive read 6 other posts on possible fixes none of which work.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Have you tried pressing the power button for 20 seconds and then restarting it?
[Kindle Fire General] melmantheman:
nope

Yes i did that does not help.

adb says it cannot be root in production builds. I looked up how to do it but its either vague or makes no sense or does not work. why is it a production buold? it didnt do that when i rooted my fire in the first place so why is it doing it now?
[Kindle Fire General] melmantheman:
What i believed happened is that when i went to past the andoid market's vending.apk into the system/app folder it deleted all of the things in the folder and nothing worked not even the GUI. I hard reset and then i got stuck at the logo. Dont know if that would clarify anything
[Kindle Fire General] b63:

Just a quick question. In the tutorial for flashing radio..it says to do it through the adb comments. Why? Can't we just flash in clockwork? I tried the adb method n didn't seem to work then flashing in clockwork instead seemed to changed the radio when I look in the hboot screen.

So does it work just flashing in recovery?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Not wishing to alarm you,but flashing a radio,there is a chance of bricking.

There are 2 ways of flashing.

1.PG58IMG.zip on your sd card

2.ADB method.

1. is easier but carries a greater risk than 2.

Either way,make sure you do a MD5 checksum of your radio image.

:)
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Thx. Luckily it worked with the pmg method. But how does one check that md sum? I saw it but didn't know what I was supposed to do.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Md5 checksum is a way of checking the integrity of a file after download.

Any bad download will soon be revealed

Google it.

There are lots of free apps available.
