No creeks here, all is good for me
[HTC Rezound] trevorperry:
its looks like a glossy finish on the ones I'm seeing in this thread and on seidos site can anyone confirm??
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
does have a shine, not like a high gloss paint finish, more like semi to mat finish
[HTC Rezound] trevorperry:
Thanks for the info I'll look for some more pictures around the net
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I'll take a pic of mine and post here in a few for ya

[HTC Rezound] trevorperry:
Might be too shiny for me.
[HTC Rezound] cbbyers:
I think this case looks really nice, but I'm concerned about those LTE holes that are covered on the back. I would think that HTC placed those holes there for a reason, and other cases do not block them. Hmm, trying to decide between this case and the Incipio.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I personally have not seen any difference with the holes covered.

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I was worried about that to, I checked my db signal with and without the case on, It made no difference in signal and at my house the signal sux, -95db
[HTC Rezound] cbbyers:
Maybe the holes really aren't that important. The OEM extended battery cover does not have any provisions for them.

[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
Still loving the case. Figured I'd continue the review as time goes on. One thing I really love is the fact that the cover eliminates the light leaking that I was noticing at the seams of the bottom of the screen. Maybe I should rephrase that to "it covers the light leaking". The rubber does grab some lint, however it wipes off so easily I'm surprised it picks up the lint at all.

[HTC Rezound] cbbyers:
I've had mine for 2 days now. I got the white/black variation and so far I really like it. This case has some things that I do not like, but nothing that would make me want to return it. Overall, it is a really good case, and I chose it over the Incipio due to the reports that the gel skin on the Incipio was loose on the sides.

Things I like:

It feels solid and looks good. Good overall construction.

I hated the power and volume buttons with my basic Verizon gel skin, but they are very easy to press now with this case installed.

Fairly easy to remove

Things that could be better:

The gel skin has some rough edges where it meets the edges around the screen. Maybe this could be fixed with an exacto knife, but it's very minimal.

The back of the case is really slick. This doesn't really change the grip of it while holding it, but if you have one of those half din storage compartments underneath your car radio or some other slick surface, it will slide. I have to place my phone face down so that the gel portion of the case grips the surface.

The gel skin doesn't cover the small strip / area of the phone to the left and right of the earpiece. Not a huge deal, but not an exact fit either.

Other comments:

I'm not really getting lint build-up on the rubber gel itself, but it does collect some crud around the screen edges where the gel meets the phone. This is easily cleaned with some canned air.

No case is perfect, but this one is pretty good so far.
[HTC Rezound] VinceOB:
I just bought the white/black combo from Amazon for $15. Can't wait to check it out. I've always been highly impressed with Seidio products. I had bought two gel cases from amazon, but they seem too tight and doesn't really protect the front very well.
[HTC Rezound] Hitch_Itch:
I like my active combo, only issue is I work in construction, The phone is real secure in the holster which is good but the back of the phone is open to scratches when squeezing into tight spots. Im thinking of getting a leather holster for work and keep the active holster for when Im not working.

I like how the cover fits the phone, well built

my xoom just got the OTA update and while updating it got stuck on the screen saying "Starting Fastboot protocol support." Its been on this screen for 10mins, and idk what to do. The Motorola dual core technology symbol that it always on the xoom when it starts up is there also. I have stock everything. PLEASE HELP.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saintfyre:
Well the first thing to not do is post twice in both General and Q&A, just make one post so your answers aren't all spread out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweezy108:
so i got bored waiting and just held the power and the volume up button. it restarted abd ICS was installed and was finishing configuration.

That should of been the first thing you did before posting... IMHO

I hope you dont try and root your Xoom.....lol

[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Anyone know if the optional LG Spectrum extended 3000mah battery/back will fit our Nitros? Or are there any alternatives available?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
This image is taken from LG's website, showing the battery of the LG Spectrum.

Looking at the battery, it has the same model number as the Nitro HD, which should mean shape and size will be the same.

In regards to that, this means the extended battery should have the same dimensions as the stock battery, only fatter, which means it should fit in the Nitro as well. :)

It's always nice to have a cousin with the same specs :D Wish they had the same body design, that way we can get their cases too lol.
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
The extended battery has a new back, the battery will probably fit but since the shape of the Spectrum is more square than the Nitro I am guessing the new back will not fit.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Yeah, the back cover of the spectrum will not fit the nitro. However, I'm very sure that once manufacturers notice that an extended battery that is available for Spectrum can be used on the Nitro as well, they will start producing something for it too :)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
This back cover will work:
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
You get a 'Thanks' for that one, lol. :)
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
I hope that is the case..
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
+100500 lol :D
[LG Nitro HD] HotWhipT/A:
I'd be very interested in a better battery. As stated, the stock spectrum battery is the same as our Nitro. It's just a matter of covers. I really hope they decide to make one.

Edit* I've done some searching and what I want to know is the LG Spectrum was just released 5 days ago on 1/19/12 and they already have the extended battery and cover? Not fair. Ours has been out longer AND has a SERIOUS problem with battery life and we get nothing? WTF LG?
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
I wouldn't necessarily blame LG on this. They are only the manufacturer and make what is requested by the carrier. Verizon seems to always have extended batteries for their phones, while AT&T just sticks to stock and leave it to OEM manufacturers to create accessories.

One way we can possibly get an extended cover is to reach out to some OEM companies and request them to create OEM covers for our phones. Surely if they see that there's enough customers, they will start making em.
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
OMG! :eek: It looks like ****! :(
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Oh my god, lol, if anyone has that on their phone I will probably not be able to keep from laughing in their face. That is heinous.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
LOL who designed that?!
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Well....dat's what happens when we have slim phones n try to shove in an extended battery...well it looks like crap lol.
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
my ? is do these batteries last....ive bought some extended on ebay for my inspire 4g and they drained much quicker....i guess because they were generic ones or the capacity amount was a lie...plus they were cheap haa

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
What did you guys expect from an extended battery? Cover same thickness along entire body, with a hollow place between camera and battery? With the size of the phone, you could latterly call it a "brick" then...

But on other thought, it might be not a bad idea if the cover would have second role as a protection case...

'nuff said.
[LG Nitro HD] Fberry:
I talked to a LG Rep who had both Spectrum and Nitro. She said the ex battery for the Spectrum does not fit the Nitro.

[LG Nitro HD] finndo:
I wish I remembered the phone name; however on Android forums dot com there is a post about the battery and it is the same battery model as another phone that does have an extended version. The problem they reported was there is not a back cover to fit the spectrum as it is rounded and the other phone is squared.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felixpeters:
Hi guys, I have a gigantic problem, which I hope you can help me with.

I installed the siyah kernel yesterday and ontop the cyanogenmod 9. Phone did not charge over night. To be more precise, my phone ist not charging at all.

Any idea what I can do? Any suggestion that gets my phone running again is welcome. Otherwise I have to run out and purchase a new battery and give it another shot.

Thanks!!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) CM9 is very much an "experimental"/alpha build. All manners of problems/bugs/issues are to be expected.

2) To the very best of my knowledge Siyah does not work with CM9 because there are no ICS kernel sources available at this time.

Flash stock firmware to get your phone back to square one, then root your phone with a CFRoot kernel, then you can install Siyah. From there, if you're still keen, choose another rom.

CM9 is not for n00bs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felixpeters:
I had used the cyanogen stuff multiple times before... I am not even certain if it is the ROM that is causing the problem.

As I said. The phone just won't charge for some reason... I did follow your suggestion and flashed a stock firmware again and finished. Since about 5 minutes I can't even get into the download mode because the battery is too low. :mad:

I don't get it.

Its almost as if the battery is busted. :(

Oh well... I guess thats the price for stupidity.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTodFather:
Same problem here. I assumed after flashing cm9 all old kernel stuff would be replaced. However if phone is dead the phone will not charge. So I've switched batteries and its not the battery it is the old kernel. Perhaps it messes with the boot loader. Im go

ing to Odin back to stock and hope that will fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] maxiordoqui:
Well finally i decided for the Galaxy S2 because of lots of development.. The fact by wich i didn't want to get it was the yellow tint on the left corner, the pink spot, the overheating problem, gps laks, battery drain and more.. I came home last wednesday from last week, and after charge went to 100% percent i flashed stock 2.3.4 official firmware from my region, Argentina.. Then flashed speedmod kernel 2.18 .. And guess what? No yellow tint, no pink spot in camera, no overheating (it gets a bit warm after short use but you may feel it because it is too thin.. and gps works fine! I'm amazed with it, and i don't know where to start with all the development that i got here. Fantastic phone, good looking, feels good in the hand, doesn't look that solid but you are not supose to drop it or something if you are carefull it won't hit the floor:P One thing common in Amoled screens are, in dark places with very low brightness you can note something in the screen, in black backgrounds the are all over the screen some kind of.. I don't know how to explain.. like, darker spots over the black background, my face was.. :| what the!? but it is ok.. doesnt affect the functionality of the phone, also a common problem in EVERY sgs2 .. when you look at the screen from left, right sides whites becomes a bit green.. But it is ok.. Sound is not that great.. My old Moto defy sounds louder and crisper.. what did you find in your sgs2? is it ok with all this things? another thing.. video recording is not that great.. Looks awesome but it shakes like hell.. :|
[Galaxy S II General] EMT9:
great you like it i like it 2

i have it know 4 month and its amazing
[Galaxy S II General] maxiordoqui:
Amazing phone, better to get the sgs2 and wait till the sgs3 get official development and solve the issues.. and then get it..
[Galaxy S II General] chandler240:
The sgs2 is great, the only thing that i don't like about my phone is the button in the middle, i wish that button didn't exist, is too flimsy.
[Galaxy S II General] Iklau:
A good experience to me, I think the screen is good, I cannot see bleck spot and I think the video recording is beautiful so as the camera. About sound, I think very good too... So I don't understand your experience! Sorry :(

Funny you should say that, I just got one coming from HTC Desire (I loved the buttons on that one). With the SGS2 I cannot bare to touch the home button & love the capacitive ones

I just returned the nexus. Its ONLY advantage is google updates.
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Having tried nexus, I would say that I would definitely buy nexus, (if both are around the same price), were I in your place. But, SGS2 is a great phone and yes, in some aspects much better than nexus.

The fast and amazing aspect I feel applies for nexus too. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Muterror:
The SG2 is great mobile phone. Just update his firmware. And wait for android 4 for it. i gues it will work faster and smoother on android 4.
[Galaxy S II General] SanQuan:
Good to hear you like it.

I have one from day one :)

And ofcourse i like it to :D
[Galaxy S II General] flavianoxxl:
is certainly the best phone on the market.....but to expect that 2012 will bring many surprises
[Galaxy S II General] dodgypast:
If you want a screen between the S2 and the Note I'd say the Nexus fits the bill.

I'm a bit weird and actually find Touch Wiz pretty good, so pure google doesn't interest me that much. Plus if I wanted that it's available through CM7 / CM9.

I went for the S2 as my first smartphone because I wanted something that would last me for 2-3 years. Given the popularity of the S2 and the dev support behind it here I should be covered.

After some playing around I settled for Checkrom V4, Siyah kernel and the V1.9 ICS theme as a solid noobish build. Pretty mature, looks gorgeous and pretty cutting edge.

May well update to Checkrom V6 next weekend assuming the roll out goes smoothly.
[Galaxy S II General] nghockcheng:
Just switched from HD2 Android

Hi, I just switch to SGS2 from HD2 running Hyperdroid since last week. Currently running Hyperdroid on SGS2 too. One of the annoying thing about SGS2 is the wake up lag of the screen. I have went thru the forum discussing this issue and it seems most people have this lag and there is no solution for it. On my phone it feel as bad as the early HD2 Nand ROM without the wake up lag solution. I hope that with ICS this issue can be solved.
[Galaxy S II General] zabranjeniples:
I must say, sgs2 is the best mobile phone that I ever used. It is all in one machine with big screen. Maybe the screen could be a little bigger, but it is waiting for us with sgs3 :p.

Coming from a non-smartphone device, I have to say the SGS2 is awesome!

Only area it disappoints is battery life, but that's what the external battery in my bag is for =)
[Galaxy S II General] Mikuzzo82:
Bought my s2 in september, coming from a nokia n97 mini, dont have any screen problem, a bit disappointed about battery life but it's pretty normal if you use and play with it, i'm going to buy a bigger battery ( have just the stock one ) and after that i wont even complain about it. camera works fine but when it come about video not the best i must admit, but with some roms it works quite good. Nothing to say the best phone on the market from what i can see, in the next months maybe something better will come up but... will see... really happy that i choise to buy the s2, but dont know why i'm already waiting s3.
[Galaxy S II General] Kakoura:
It's by far the best phone i've had so far. I can do everything with it, from playing movies on my television from accesing my computer with remote desktop. And i can also call with it , can recommend it to everyone

Have had lots of smartphones but SGS2 (GT-i9100) is the best. Nice comu, amazing Rom's and the ability to do eveything i want to do with/on my device.

Me too

I'm glad to hear that you are having a great time with your SGS2. I've had mine for roughly 6 months already, and am still glad that i bought it. Since, it was my first android device, i spent quite some time researching on it and finally decided to root my phone to explore more features that are alien to me. I hope that you too, like me, will be able to root it and install many ROMs inside and explore the features. However, do take note that by doing that, you will have you warranty void. Have fun exploring your device!
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
You mean the Galaxy

S3

right?
[Galaxy S II General] maxiordoqui:
Thanks you all for sharing all your experiences with this little beast.. Honestly the only dissapointment is the low volume, wish it could be louder, and the screen in the left side when you turn it oon looks yellowish but after turning the screen of and then unlock it it dissapear. With this phone i had the best android experience ever.. Check my signature, is everything i've done to my Galaxy so far.. I tried ICS, all the roms out there.. But i always went back to stock odexed with XXKI4, the fastest and more stable and battery friendly with the proper kernel and settings.. Very happy with it.
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Well cant agree for the following reasons at least:

1. Software: Samsung seems to have 1080p video recording, but it is zoomed already and there is no option for zoom, however Nexus allows to 5x zoom while capturing 1080p. Video quality is the same in daylight, but in the night Nexus on par superior. So what's the point to have 8 megapixels?

2. Well video recorded in 1080p, but video editing software on SGS2 sucks in comparison to Google Movie Studio. Even if you decided to use Samsung video editor you have no option to export in 1080p. WTF Samsung, what is the point to shoot in 1080p but lacks feature to export project in 1080p? Very sad Sammy.

3. Openness for the source code: again Samsung sucks. Google Nexus or whatever Google phone has all necessary propriety and source code for development and serious ones up to date .

4. Audio quality sucks in SGS2 cause it incorporates yamaha audio card, definitely worse in comparison to Texas instruments being incorporated in Nexus

And so on... Just I've got no time list all of them.

So looking forward to trade in my SGS2 for Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
1-i had the nexus and software is far from stable compared to the sgs2 (micro stutters, browser lag, home screen lag, freezing etc. Video recording is brutal compared the sgs2 in ALL respects

2-dont use google movie studio so cant comment on that

3-the source code is definitely more available on the nexus however, it has a long way to go before it reaches sgs2 stability

4-nexus has terrible speaker. Thats all i need to know there.

So i guess it has the software updates as a pro.

Its actually already selling for straight trade for sgs2 or less here in Canada. Try to get one shipped in from here...might save some cash.

One last thing, now that i have used ics on the sgs2 it somehow runs smoother than the nexus with everything including lwp! Not sure why.
[Atrix 4G General] saiftheboss7:
Just found this tweet from Motorola.

Hope we'll get the ICS Update officially! The phone worth it!
[Atrix 4G General] kennytung:
I saw that too, asked Motorola if our Atrix will get ICS for sure, waiting for reply...
[Atrix 4G General] KSoD:
I wouldnt hold my breath. I am a member on those forums and have been part of their Soap testing. From what Mark has said, he doesnt believe that the Atrix will get the update anytime soon. They are working backwards from the newer devices first then back to the older ones. Since the Atrix 2 was released sooner than the original I would expect to see that on the list before the Atrix itself.
[Atrix 4G General] JoeM01:
I doubt it. There's no reason for them to update it They release like 20 phones in a 12 month period. Why waste the time/resources updating a model that is already 1 version older.

CM9 is the only viable answer to the ICS question for the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] guidoido004:
They sent me this same thing, one month ago.

Its fun to see this hope of yours....
[Atrix 4G General] guidoido004:

But i know a google Android developer, and he said is not in Motorolas plans to update the tegra2 phones

It's an alpha build with no camera support and gapps kinda work.

Guess you have lower expectations from your phone.

This is not knocking the work, but it is far from an "all you need" solution.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
It's an alpha.

Even if official ICS comes, it will definitely be after the dev supported ICS roms on XDA hit final release. Mark my words.
[Atrix 4G General] stonefeet:
i'd be completely shocked if they updated the phone we all paid for less than a year ago. but who knows, if they decide to it'll probably 8 months before they release it.
