Also looking for a nice hip holster, any recommendations?

Clip has a sticky back.

Once u stick it , it won't move. I had to cut it out the first time becoz I placed on the wrong place.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Skiddledank:
I liked this PDair book style one so much I bought another one in crocodile as well : ) Both have belt clips where you slide the unit on down into the belt clip and it "clicklocks" right in, when needed reach behind the unit with your thumb on top and pressing down pull out voila. Phone will rotate freely when in belt clip so if you happen to brush up against something it will move out the way. Flip the cover around the back for landscape viewing and adjust for optimum angle.

The very first time I used one of those it broke. I sat down in an armchair (not heavily) and the force against the bottom toward me (I think) just snapped the connection right off.

I only use metal ones now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Skiddledank:
Interesting, since the very first time I sat down with it on, I have (intuitively it seems) moved the phone to the horizontal or landscape position before sitting.

I see now that that has been a wise thing to do. So far, so good, have had it for several months and still going strong. The clip is probably designed for your average dress belt thickness but so far I've worn it daily over a very thick gun belt which stretches the clip wider than it was probably designed to go but makes it even more secure as it won't budge without very considerable force to slide it over.

I had one for the Xperia Arc. It was nice, because of the extra safety of the second 'clip'.

After a while, I found the main clip started to tear off from the case, mainly from sitting in the car.

I do seem to give these cases a hard time, don't I? :)

I have opted for the 'nutshell' case in the hope that it will survive whatever I do to these poor cases:

$70:eek:

Was it worth the money?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] jeromepearce:
I have not received it yet :(. Apparently they are still waiting for a sample to make it for. I am not sure how long I'll wait ....

If it saves my Note, it'll be well worth the money. I have another case that is OK, but has a metal frame so reduces the phone signal. If I can remove enough metal but leave it functional, I may drop the Nutshell for taking to damned long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I have been having terrible GPS. It either won't lock in or if it does (on Google Navigation) i get the large blue circle around the nav arrow indicating that it won't lock in. I tried GPS Status and it helps a little but it by no means solved the problem. I also tried the app FASTER LOCK that supposedly helps the GPS lock in faster but it does not work either. I also tried the thread in the DEV section with the flashable zip. All of the above was done on Calkulin's and then after a fresh ODIN to stock rooted EL29 ROM.

After exhausting all these options I actually called SPRINT. They advised me that they are doing some maintenance on the antenna or satellites or some nonsense and say the ETA for the fix is 2/1/12. This service is supposed to be in the BKLYN/Queens and part of Manhattan area. In a nutshell I want to know if any of you NYers have experienced any problems with the GPS working properly. Please let me know because this is driving me F'n nuts and I don't really take Sprints word about these "repairs"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Mine too, but I almost never use GPS. I remember trying a while back and it wouldn't work (I'm not outside right now, so I can't try). I live in Bay Ridge and work in Manhattan and go to college in Staten Island.

I don't trust Sprint about any "upgrades" they claim to be doing. Since last January, they told me they were doing "upgrades" to fix 3G data speeds, and mine are still garbage. Better than they used to be but still garbage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
thanks for the input Fred. This nonsense is really pissing me off! Everything works great on this phone except for this GPS. The funny thing is that I don't use it that often but when I do use it I want and need it to work properly. There is nothing worst than being on the highway relying on Google Nav to get you to your destination and all of a sudden you get a "GPS single lost" notification.

Hopefully this gets straightened out one way or another
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lunchboxVA:
...i just took mine back yesturday to get a new phone mailed to me in the next couple days...apparently its a global gps issue meaning all e4gt have it at least the first batch...i got mine in october and my gps worked here in ny for awhile but recently same problems you described...most ppl report having better luck with a new phone...yours should b covered under warrenty so you get it for free...well ive heard some have to pay 35bucks unless you have insurance...id advise taking it to sprint and complain and demand a new phone...if rooted just make sure you remove root and if on custom rom make sure u go back to stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kj13569:
So should we stay away from any specific sirial number? because i've tried the flashable zip and i still dont get a GPS lock... (Charlotte NC)

Running Calk's 2.8.1 and gunslinger 1.4.1 w/ gpsfix.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sekigah84:
It is indeed with a lot of people. I have the same issue for a long time. I just recently got a new phone via insurance cause I lost my old one. It still has GPS lock issues. I can't say if it is a new model however.

What works for me (TO A POINT) is turning Wifi on for it to narrow down. Its really upsetting because I have my old Evo next to me and it gets GPS locks no problem. It is an issue with the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I know that I have good company in regards to this problem. To illustrate my point I went to a Sprint corporate store in Brooklyn today and asked him about this GPS situation. To be honest he didn't know his ass from his elbow but the only upside was that he has the Epic 4G as his personal phone so I asked him to step outside of the store with me and open NAVIGATION and then MAP to see if it locks on. Sure enough, his phone wouldn't get a lock either.

Too make a long story short it seems that this phone has messed up GPS or maybe Sprints network in my area really is undergoing some repairs. Whatever the case is it is very irritating to me. I sold my NUVI GPS because my old EVO had some kickAss GPS but this phone has been a nightmare. I'm going to give it a few more days and call SPRINT again. I'm not going to be stuck with a phone w/o working GPS for another 1 3/4 years!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
The thing is that GPS has nothing to do with network. Even if something was wrong with the towers and you couldn't use network location to pin you onto the map, GPS itself is totally independent and should work. Maybe it's the LTE rollout?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Your guess is as good as, if not better than mine considering you do tech work on Sprint phones. All I know is that the day is going to come when I need to get somewhere by car and the fact that I can't rely on my "award winning smartphone" to get me there pisses me off.

You bring up a point that I am interested in. Like you mentioned, I thought that our GPS signal is directly related to the GPS satellites and the only thing data is needed for is to load the maps. In theory we should be able to use a NAVIGATION type app w/o data at all if the full map was installed to our phone and we have satellites for the GPS?

Does Sprint have their own GPS satellites or does everyone on the planet use the same one? I have no idea how that kind of thing works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
GPS isn't touched by Sprint. Another thing you can try, in case it IS the phone trying to pick up your location by the tower, is to turn off network location and only use GPS. See if you can get a lock like that.

PS I don't work at Sprint anymore; my boss was a total douchebag pothead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
BUMP!

I can't believe that with all of the prior issues, that we have yet another basic device function that DOES NOT WORK. What's weird, is that it seemed that there was a time when it DID work ok, but tonight I used it for the first time while navigating (kept my in-dash GPS on for comparison), and this thing could not find it's way out of a box. Even when there was a GPS lock and I was driving on a highway (in NJ), it had me on back roads and was spewing nonsense directions.

I also have GPS Stats, and all of the other suggested 'fixes' installed, and this is just plain broken. I was on all EL29, though recently my Kernel was moved to EL26. I'm going to go back to EL29, but I seriously doubt that will help.

If anyone has more information on this, please share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
I'm here in NYC, midtown, and my GPS works fine, indoors and outdoors. I'll check again when I go out for lunch, but here in the Sprint office, it works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
I'm in queens, it works 100% of the time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] MrKickstand:
as the topic say, does this bali kernal(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128657) work with Project Nocturnal or the Stock Rooted KJ2 Deodexed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
I have the unnamed rom and kernel and modem el29 I keep getting sprint notification for the el29 update should I download it if not how do I disable it from asking me its annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
No, don't ever take an official OTA on any custom ROM. If you're on a stock rooted ROM (odexed), you can use OTA Rootkeeper to take it and keep root.

As for stopping updates, I believe you can freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup, or it might be called Samsung Updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
Thanks alot ill look at titanium backup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
I found system updates but need full version to freeze it ;(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
You can always Uninstall it. If you ever need to put it back, just reflash your ROM without wiping anything. You won't lose anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
Good idea! Ill probably just buy it for 7$ because I don't see Me going to apple devices so its like 7$ for every phone I get In my life lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
i uninstalled system updates but i restarted my phone and now i still get the messages but titanium backup still shows it uninstalled?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
if its uninstalled push update now. let it do its thing it will freeze up. then push and hold til it reboots. should bring you to your cwm recovery. wipe cache and dalvik and reboot system. no more updates :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spacemany3k:
I too have UnNamed ROM. I let the update run and install. It froze when it reboot, but after a restart everything boot up just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
after the restart if it didn't boot you into recovery, then just go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. probably only need cache but I do dalvik as well.as long as it is frozen or uninstalled you won't get any update after the wipe. this also means tho you can't use prl and profile updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M1nze:
where was this thread 2 days ago! lol. i kept gettin the update message, froze it through TI, was still gettin it...decided to update anyway..(not knowing)...it froze w/ the android guy and an exclamation mark...no buttons worked..took the battery out and restarted and worked fine. no more update messages. lol. im using calkulinsss
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
ya when the update gets to your phone it stays in cash until its used or erased. if you freeze it the update is still on your phone. if you have a custom recovery like cwm it won't let it go through. the only recovery it works on is android stock recovery. the 3e.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shlomi84:
thanks guys this is what i did and it worked:

1. backup and uninstalled System updates from Titanium backup

2. download update

3. got an android guy with ! mark

4. took out battery put it back in

5. the rogue screen came on i wiped cache/delvik cache

can i now re-install system updates in titanium backup without updates coming again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It'll come back in around a week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
you don't really need the system updates unless youre doing either a prl or profile update. I would leave it out. unless ics comes! lol. it won't harm anything by doing so.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdisanza:
Personally and imo, I think anyone who roots their phone should buy the full versions of Titanium Backup and Root Explorer if it ever goes pay for. They are both worth every penny and purchase fee or donation helps maintain their future updates. I think we each owe it to the Developers to buy this/these product, imo. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toussant:
Just flashed to unnamed rom, so the consensus is

do not update to EL29... right?

I am using verizon PRL's - I've moved my ESN to 'Pageplus' so the update might mess me up.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
I am considering buying one of these but would like to try it out in a store before I buy it. Does anyone know of a US retailer that stocks them?

I am mostly curious about the following things:

1) How good is it for taking notes in college/university classes? Can you rest your palm on the screen while using the stylus?

2) Is there a way to view the notes taken on pdf on a computer?

3) Is it pretty solid feel wise? Or does it feel like it will fall apart after a couple years?

4) How much bloatware comes on it and is it hard to remove via rooting?

5) Does the screen go dark enough for comfortable reading in dimly lit rooms?

Thanks for the info.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
the notes are great, I use Quill, as it works nearly perfect, in the app i have turned on pen input only and jot tons and tons of notes all day long.

You can export the notes to various files, while im not sure about PDF there is certainly a format that can be read on your desktop

Like all lenovo products i've had its built to last like an enterprise system should be. as long as you take care of it it will last a long time past EOL

Bloatware isnt too bad, theres still some stuff lenovo managed to get into the system pretty deep (like the status bar wheel widget thing.) but its never bothered me that much as it only comes up at the home screen.

screen brightness works great in dim rooms, i tend to read books by a small lamp in bed most of the time with minimal strain.

I purchased mine from lenovo direct so I dont know about any local retailers.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
Thanks for the info. However when I asked about notes on PDFs I should have clarified a bit. I was asking about their PDF viewer that lets you take notes on the PDF document and weather that can be exported to something useful.

Also I thought of one more thing: If I have my notes backed up with something like spideroak, can the notes be converted on a computer? I ask because I am worried about taking a semesters worth of notes on it then having it die and there being no way to read them without getting a new tablet.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
ezPDF allows you to fill out pdf forms, underline, strikeout, and add freehand drawings as well as circles/squares/etc. It should do what you're looking for.

https://market.android.com/details?id=udk.android.reader&feature=search_result

and if you have the file saved as a pdf on your sd card you should be able to open it with any pdf reader (pc or otherwise).

The quill note taking app he mentioned allows you to export your notes to sdcard pdfs
[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
Thanks for the info.

One last thing: has anyone used connect bot or another ssh client on this? I am curious if the keys on the keyboard folio such as escape quotes tild and whatnot all send the proper characters. I had a bluetooth keyboard for my N1 a while back that sent some weird unicode characters for the quotes making terminal usage very difficult.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
SSH droid is a server for the android device, I am asking about using a client on the android device.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
My bad, I left my brain at home today... I will test it for you this evening and let you know if the client works with the keymapping
[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
Cool thanks, I look forward to hearing your results.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
Update: I just ordered one, so if its too much of a bother don't worry about testing the connect bot thing. My shiny object syndrome overwhelmed my frugal side. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
It works like a charm tested with Moba SSH home 1.22 and connect bot, all the keys from the folio map properly and I haven't seen anything odd at this point, also SSH'd into a couple of Access points over my VPN at work with the TPT to test as well.

Congrats on the TPT! you're gonna love it!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] FearTheCron:
Unfortunately the keys do not map properly, escape is still connected to "back" in the android os and ctrl is connected to "menu". Does anyone know if there is some way to map these to their proper functions?

Thanks

So I will be getting my vzw nexus this Saturday, and I would like to have a case on the day I get it, but looking at all the cases online, I just get confused which ones are made for the vzw nexus. I was disappointed that the ringke slim is not for the vzw nexus, that was the case I really wanted. So now I am looking at the incipio silicrylic, but I can't find weather it fits on the vzw nexus. Could someone tell me if it fits on the vzw nexus?

Also a list of cases that are made for the vzw nexus would be helpful also, thanks.

One more thing, does anybody know if a version of the ringke slim will be made for the vzw nexus?

yes it is made for the verizon/CDMA version of the gnex. i have it and i'm really pleased with its protection, but it does add a good deal of thickness to the phone.

I just figured this out myself so thought share my experience. I haven't seen a thread similar so if there is one calm down.

Basically what I noticed was here in Denver where I live the app would choose the nearest server (Comcast) for here. I was only getting around 7 megs down and couldn't figure out why my numbers were so much slower than others around the country. For whatever reason I decided to change servers to one about a 100 miles down the road and for whatever reason that made an insane difference. I chose the one in Woodland Park (Peak Internet) and started getting in the low 40's for download speeds.

I guess the moral of the story is if you feel your getting inadequate dl speeds switch servers and see what happens.
