[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
That's the same one I have. I've read multiple posts on here with people complaining about the same problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
Yup... and I'm not one of those people. I have no issues with this case. Is OP taking it on and off too much? How would one see the scratches without doing so? Sounds like it IS wear and tear...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkstoops:
TPU Scratches

I just got the carbon fiber/kickstand case yesterday. But my TPU case I've used for the last two months has scratched the crap out of my GS2 edges. I miss the chrome edge and rubbery back of my OG Epic. Wish they would've used that on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Of course I'm taking it off from time to time. I do it to clean the damn phone. I know the scratches are from the case because there are 5 perfectly straight lines across the side of the phone. I'm pretty sure it happens when removing the case. I am now using the phone with no case because at least if I take care of the phone it won't get scratches. Maybe the cases aren't all built the same and i got a badly made one.

I also don't think my phone should get scratches for taking a case off too much. It's a damn case. It's supposed to protect the phone not scratch it if I decide to remove it as many times as I want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I've had this case since I bought my phone, and I remove it multiple times a day (I have the desktop charger at work), there isn't a single scratch anywhere on my phone and the case is a nice, snug fit. Maybe you just got a bad case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
That's what I'm thinking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monkeyracer:
At best, the store will exchange it for another of the same case, maybe they'll look at letting you switch it for a different case of equal value or have you pay the difference for a higher value case. You can always just ask the store.

As far as compensation, you probably won't find anyone that can see the scratches as anything to compensate for. (What compensation do you expect? Are you looking for a bill credit or a new phone?) It's wear and tear, and unless it affects the functionality of the phone, they're not going to do anything about it.

I just use a skin on mine, since I use the car and desk docks, but I also don't drop my phone. Ever. So I don't worry about needing some kind of case for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mx499:
say the man who has never dropped his phone.

until he does..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
I would like another case. I've never even dropp my phone either yet have 5 scratches across the left side.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericpd:
Have you tried this one? http://www.tridenteer.com/products/Aegis-Case-for-Samsung-Epic-Touch-4G-(Black).html

I'm still on my TPU, and the comment about the TPU scratching the phone is kinda scary. None on mine yet, but I'll keep an eye out. The TPU is a great case, I'd just like I need a little more protection. I drop phones a little more often than some of you guys do. Put an Aegis on the Evo 3D, and was very impressed. Not missing Otter at all,... Otter who? Still, I'd like to hear what other GS2 users of the Aegis are feeling about the case. Just can't seem to find any GS2/Aegis users right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dam90042:
Hey guys

Switched from an Evo 3D and an Evo 4g to Epic Touch and I have been using cheap hard cases on all my phones including my new Epic Touch baby and never have any problems with them. My phones always look band new and no scratches. I only pay $6 at my local swap meet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tubasteve:
I have had the case and phone since new with wrist strap. I also have a really annoying nic on the upper left where the case grabs onto the phone....sucks as it stands out cause it makes the phone have chrome nic....it would be nice if sprint would cover/credit the case cost back as it damaged the phone. Instead of doing this, I went got invisible shield and ballistic case. I couldn't be happy.

I'm just taking it as a loss....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
I initially got the case cause I really needed protection asap, (somewhat of an idiot occasionally). BAD IDEA.

The Pro(s): light weight, thin, kickstand

The Con(s): lightweight, flimsy, cheaply made, really expensive, minimal protection.

I have sense upgraded to the trident aegis and couldn't be more happy with it. I feel like it really almost wouldn't matter what I do to it, my phone will still be okay. Build quality and materials used on it are VERY pleasing. Significantly more protective, not just for drops, but dust and dirt as well. It has mesh over the microphone and speakerphone holes so dust doesn't get in and has silicon flaps to protect the audio out and micro usb port. Buttons are very easy to use as well (no fumbling with the slick samsung volume and power buttons).

Hope that helps. Link to aegis case is in a comment above mine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tragicallyhip:
If it makes anyone feel better, I smash my Epic Touch hard against a table repeatedly as a sales tactic, after asking if the customer would dare do that to their iPhone.

I do not have a case on my ET (just a screen protector). No problems or dings on the corners yet from doing so, so hopefully that gives everyone some cause to worry less. This said, I do this because if I really messed up my phone, I could just get a replacement, so I really wouldn't advise phone smashing on a regular basis...

And with some/all due respect to the OP and some others, I would take delight in laughing at you, along with every other employee. Would you demand a new laptop from Dell because it got a scratch on it from the Dell case you purchased with your computer? If you did, do you think they would ship one right out to you?

Honestly, I could see your complaint if the case somehow scratched the screen of the device, but the sides or back? How does this affect the functionality of your device? Do you not pull as many chicks by showing them your shiny, pretty phone?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunks10k:
Hey all,

I was playing around with ROM Toolbox an app that lets u configure alot of under the hood stuff. I happened to change the notification icons. However it didn't quite work it left my wifi n signal icons gray. I reinstalled DSC 7 hoping that would work but still the same. I tried to install the ics theme n still nothing..

Any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaydog:
Odd. I was going to suggest both of those reinstalls as a logical fix. Do you have a recent nandroid backup?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunks10k:
I got it working by redoing the streakmod installs of dsc. It seems that when I don't have full signal for both 3g n wifi it goes full grayish.. Not sure if anyone else getting that but its tolerable.

Not sure if I should make a new thread but hopefully you or someone can answer this.

I'm in 406 and it hasn't given me any real problems besides minor GPS but that had to do mainly with google maps/navigation.

Question is should I be updating to bb407 ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e20140:
Just wondering has anyone experienced free wifi calling via Google Voice apps during Sep 2011 thru 1st week of Jan 2012? No other VOIP apps installed.

I was very happy to found that it didn't use any of my prepaid minutes and I was calling US and Canada via wifi for free. After the 1st week of Jan 2012, not sure when, I noticed my minutes starts dropping and Gvoice can make call even without wifi; it is then I realized the free call has ended. Previously, it will give me an error if I try call without wifi connection.

If someone else experienced the same thing, I don't need to look into it. Case closed.

I am interested in finding out if some setting on the ROM causes the free calls or google just happened to give us a free ride for that period of time.

For those looking for a solution:, I am currently trying out GooveIP.

Hi... Am sorry to bother you guys... Its been a week that I rooted my wildfire and have it running on CM7...

The problem is...

Hope the hell in the world do I get themes installed with the default wallpaper and layout...

please help. Am new out here...

And have been trying to get some solution for the themes.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ckchong:
More information is needed as to "default wallpaper and layout" ? as CM7 for Wildfire originally has a Theme Manager supplied with a few themes for you to change it. For more information on choosing the right theme or applying your desired themer, you may refer to this link:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
No theme can change the layout of your phone. Initially, I was under the impression (and still am) that the themes cannot change your wallpaper as well, but there are a few posts which state that themes can change the wallpaper. (Yet to see it myself though - But, I am very sure on the layout part)

Besides, theme choosers use a lot of 3rd party apps like clock / weather widgets, minimalistic text etc to get their desired layout that best suits the theme. If you don't have these installed, how can it work?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] sansprat:
Hey Thank you Xeno for your reply...

What you said makes sense... :-)

But the question I would want to ask if, if a theme is download on the phone... Is it not supposed to load the wallpapers, clock, calender, etc. on it own?

I am sorry, I might sound to be a dumb A** but am new here and EAGER to learn.

I purchased a few themes thinking they would be fully loaded but to my surprise they werent.

For E.g.:

I Purchased the MattedBlues LauncherPro Theme from the market.

A pop-up came saying 'Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your devices screen size'.

From what I have read, I selected CONTINUE ANYWAY and Rebooted!

And all it changed was just the COLOR for Icons. Rest all remained the same, I mean the wallpaper, layout, icons...

Is there is a beginners guide I need to refer to for CM7?

Thank you in advance Buddy... :-)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
It's a LP theme buddy. If you needed the entire thing, you should have purchased the Theme Chooser Theme for CM7 (Which I have - And, it's fantastic, may I add :D). And no, no theme can change the layout as I said before. Different themes theme a different number of elements, so again, your mileage may vary.

For the MB Theme, it is the colour that is the main appeal. They follow the stock look, but change the colour. It can be seen in the screenshots as well.

One last thing - Most of the theming stuff are for HDPI Phones, infact, the MB LP Theme explicitly says no MDPI version, and the Wildfire is LDPI. So, one's mileage with theming stuff will vary a lot between themes.

Basic Ready Reckoner: (What I have stated below are the "best case scenario". Some themes may change one or more elements)

- LP / ADW Themes changes the icons, the launcher specific widgets, and the wallpaper

- CM7 Themes changes the entire UI essentially - Menus, Status Bar, Default Widgets, Icons, Dialer etc. It cannot theme elements like the Lockscreen, some system menus etc
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlghtcrawler:
Just wanted to ask if anyone here has tried it and how they liked it compared to GO Launcher EX. I wanted to try it out but i can't bring myself to pay 15$ for a launcher.

I've read a few people mention nova launcher but i cannot find anything on it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowsick:
It looks super over-priced. $15 JUST FOR A LAUNCHER? SERIOUSLY? If I were you I'd try a cracked version first like this guy ˆ ˆ

I installed the cracked version,it worked for about a day,then it started updating and said it could'nt be updated because it was'nt paid for,then it disappeared after a reboot,i forgot i had all my apps to update automatically,but then i tried to install it again,it would'nt install,weird.Its a great home launcher,but like the guy above me said,its not worth 15 bucks.

[LG Optimus 2x] Martin9630:
Hey everyone, first of all I'd like to say that this website is plain great for finding things for my phone. :D

Secondly, I have a problem with my phone's text messaging.

Just recently while chatting to my friend, she was receiving weird messages from me which consisted of parts of a previous message I sent from days ago mixed with parts of the actual message I typed in.

For Example (The following are not the actual messages from the incident.)

Me: ABCDEFGHIKJLMNOP

Friend: Meeting tomorrow at 2:30.

Me: Okay I will be GHIKJLMNOP

Friend: Huh?

Me: What?

I know, sounds insane right? :confused:

The only changes I have made to my phone are, rooting with SuperOneClick, installing latest Neoblazer kernel (great kernel btw), and overclocked to 1.4Ghz.

I don't see how any of these changes could have done that. But do you guys have any idea about what's going on?

Cheers.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
I don't think this is a kernel related problem... Anyway try to fix permissions (ROM Manager) and see if it's happening again
[LG Optimus 2x] Martin9630:
Thanks for your suggestion. I will try ASAP.
[LG Optimus 2x] Martin9630:
Hi again. I tried what you said, it has been 3-4 weeks and I am still getting this problem. Do you have any other suggestions? Or should I just get over it?
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Try a third party messaging app, like handcent SMS, maybe that'll work...

[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Looks sick!

Edit: I like it have not had a theme for awhile also like the wifi icon font is a little weird throughout the system but I like it. and not that I give a sh!t but grey on grey text in the power menu. I like what you did with the pulldown! Not sure if its done on purpose but the black background and black dividers especially noticeable in settings menu although that doesn't bother me cause I think it looks cleaner.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
Awesome, thanks for the comments.

Thanks for pointing out the grey on grey txt in the power menu, didn't notice :P

Yeah, I got rid of the dividers on purpose, I think it looks a lot cleaner too.

I thought the font was weird, but it grew on me so I kept it :)

Edit: also, not sure how I feel about the popups having a transparency
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Yeah i like the font too and agree with the dividers only place i have a problem with it is in the xda app cause i have it set to the dark one? anyway it has a black background and uses the systems dividers...no big deal i will change that back to the white background so its easier to distinguish. Meh pop ups and transparency who cares i like them..

But as always excellent work!
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
I see what you mean about the dividers in the app, doesn't look too bad :P

And thanks for the kind words :)
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
Very nice job! If i didn't like you're ICK theme so much i would definitely be using this. But I'll probably flash this just to check it out. Looks great in the screen shots.

where did you find gold on white text?
[LG Revolution] Grizzy3:
The 3rd screen shot you have up. Oh i guess it's the icons not the text my bad.

Are you leaving the blue text in the clear button?

oops :P
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Lol I'm wondering if gold may be too much gold and it should be black? it's your call

may even tone down the background of the expanded status bar

[LG Revolution] markapowell:
nicely done. I love the icons, probably my favorite. How hard is it to change the colors? At least on the drop down, its a bit over kill, which is why I haven't tried dread, to much red for me in that one. Thanks again.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
I agree, working on a redesign for the drop down.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
very interested what you are going to do here...not that my opinion matters or not but I think a black transparent but not too transparent like opacity set to like 85% with some sort of gold design inside out but not solid gold like an outline or something...again its your theme I'm just throwing it out there. And I love it so far keep up the excellent work! Only reason I say outline is I think solid will clash with quick setting icons.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Oh no way, the battery gauge has a charging indicator!?! I love it more and more.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
this is what I have so far

thinking about moving the toggles down a little and moving the clear button to the bottom

what do you guys think so far?
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11434793/screenie1.png

I'd be ok with the toggles down a little bit. Lovin this theme.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Ok, I have one thing. Not horrible, but maybe its my phone. When I do a drop down inside the dialer, its a blackish background and the font is black as well. If I'm not in good light its hard to see...

I'm trying to take a screenie for you, but my screen cap/editing skills are very

weak...

doesn't look quite as dark this way, but here it is...
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Yep mine too.

yeah, all the pop ups are like that,will look into it

now I just need to figure out how to pin the button to the bottom :P
