[Galaxy S II Accessories] republicano:
is the back part where it covers the battery plastic or silicon like?

i have a imak black case and its has a plastic backing, i thought it would be bad at first but i realised it will keep its shape from wear and tear since its only the sides that need stretching.

chose wisely, the case had before this one would apply pressure on the power button and turn the phone off an on.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ZeWhiteRabbit:
Check at WWW.Amazon.Co.UK.com

Or on O2.Co.uk
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KSTu:
i really understand your concern, but we have to make double post for this matter?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Crucio_:
i have an otter box and it is the best case i have owned.

For me it adds a bit of weight and thinkness to the phone which i like but the best thing about it is the fit. it is perfect :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bobola:
Check out the non slim Momax case..

It is soft plastic on the side/edge and then hard plastic on the back.

thanks for your replies

that is very nice indeed however can I justify spending £29 on case lol

I thought my SGP at £20 was expensive and that lasted 4 months only...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagohu:
Hi,

I've got a somewhat strange situation, I'd like to find a solution to. I live just by the border of Belgium and Holland and go over regularly to Holland. My Belgian provider of course goes into roaming mode when on a Dutch network, that's all fine like that.

The problem is, that since I live too close to the border, the phone often stays on the Dutch network instead of switching over to the Belgian - unless I do it manually.

Is there some kind of setting/app to switch to a preferred network when it's present?

My old HTC Touch pro had a network operator priority list, and it worked rather well with that - hope there's a solution for Android too...

Cheers.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmsconsultoria:
I'm in the same situation, on returning to my home country my phone stays with the neighbouring country operator, and I pay unnecessary roaming charges. Any solution would be an absolute god send for millions of people who live near borders. It's weird, it seems like such an obvious app to produce. Any suggestions would be most helpful. This thread is what made me register on XDA. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
An app to display the available cell towers (cid`s) and the option to manually select would be great! Ever since Tmobile/Orange activated a new cell near me I continually connect to that instead of my `normal` Three cell and the bandwidth is crap.

Bros help me...

i have used some ROM of sensation (cook and official), but SMS has a big problem:

conversation don't be listed by real time.

for example, i sent a message to my friend at 10h02'. in principle, he had to send to me after 10h02' (such as 10h03'...). in fact that, his message in conversation is at 9h59'.

i don't know why and how o repaired this problem.

i hope someone can help me...........

[General Questions and Answers] Cronos90:
Hi all. I'm sorry if this has maybe asked before, but i've read several guides and topics and didn't quite get it. What is the difference between flashing a rom via Clockwork mod and odin? Currently I have Lite'ning Rom v6. 1 XXKH3, KERNEL version 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.05+ninpo@titan #20 and I was wondering what are the right steps to change to another custom rom(I have a galaxy s 2 and i was planning to try a ics rom). Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] liammozz:
from what i have gathered through flashing roms on my sgs2 odin if for official samsung roms and CWM if for home made roms but i may be wrong
[General Questions and Answers] Cronos90:
Thank you for your reply. So if i want to go back to stock firmware I shall use odin and clockwork for custom roms? Anyone else can confrim this?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] David9723:
Using stock room 3.2 rooted. I'm trying to make a Custom battery icon with kitchen it works but the icon is way to small on the tab to see very well.

Anyway to increase the size?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] David9723:
Anyone? I don't want to use a widget to do this. Kitchen works but the icon is to small.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] dazednconfused:
I'm not at my computer right now but the kitchen I do believe puts the batteries in the drawable hdpi folder. This device doesn't run off of that, it runs off of drawable mdpi. You have to move them to a diffetent folder to get the right size. Download one of my older themes for the 8.9 and look at the files to see how I had it set up. If I was at the computer I could help you more.
[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
Just found out that Papa Smurf151 had stage 3 testicular cancer and has been struggling for more than 2 years with this and has now beat this and is has been cancer free for a year now,thats freakin awesome,if noone knows what testicular cancer is,here you go....

Testicular Cancer:

Testicular cancer typically develops in one or both testicles in young men. It is a highly treatable and usually curable type of cancer.

The testicles (also called the testes; a single testicle is called a testis) are part of the male reproductive system. These 2 organs are each normally somewhat smaller than a golf ball in adult males and are contained within a sac of skin called the scrotum. The scrotum hangs beneath the base of the penis.

The testicles make the male hormone testosterone. They also produce sperm. Sperm cells are carried from the testicle through the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles, where they are mixed with a fluid produced by the prostate gland. During ejaculation, sperm cells, seminal vesicle fluid, and prostatic fluid enter the urethra, the tube in the center of the penis through which both urine and semen leave the body.

You have to be a strong soul to have to go through such an agonizing proccess.Papa you are a great person for putting up with all of this and still contribute and spend your time helping people out on this forum.Hats go off to you brother.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boomboom152:
Hello :)

I'm currently using a sony tablet, and considering to replace it with the Prime ... My main concerned is about USB support. I cannot find any clear answer to the following question : Is the prime supporting USB self powered external drives ? directly on the tablet or through the dock?

I'm owning a Iomega 1To external portable drive, formated into NTFS, and I really want to use it when I'm travelling.

Thanks in advance for your feedback
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tohalloran:
Yup, I use a USB powered 1TB external drive with mine and all works fine!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
i have plugged several NTFS formatted usb harddrives into my prime dock and was able to browse the files.

Cant guarantee it will work with yours but it did with mine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boomboom152:
Thanks for your replies !

Were the disks 2.5 self powered or with an external power supply ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stefan662:
I tried it successfully with a selfpowered 2.5" disk.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vszulc:
Ive decided to get a new phone (Well, actually my HTC decided for me by having its touchscreen die) but I'm not entirely sure what to get.

(The part that sucks about this, is all the new quadcore phones and iPhone 5 coming soon/later this year)

The Galaxy Note was just too big, so I've narrowed it down to the Galaxy Nexus, Moto RAZR and iphone4S. How have you found the GN to be? Is there anything I should keep in mind?

The RAZR and the GN have pretty much the same GPU/CPU combo, but the GN has a better screen, right? For those of you who have tried both, is there a major visible difference between the GN screen and the screen on the RAZR?

(Yes, I've heard all about the Pentile display, but it doesn't really bother me on the RAZR. I tried as hard as I can, and I can't tell the difference. Probably because the resolution is so high...)

The thing that's holding me back from the GN is the camera. I've heard that its fast, but not very good (Esp. compared to the iPhones camera) and at 5MP the resolution is pretty small these days.

The RAZR is kinda tempting because of all the accessories (Lapdock etc,) the ultra thin design, 8MP camera (Thou I've heard the quality is so-so) and being expandable up to 48 GB. But how is the camera on the RAZR? I've noticed it shoots pretty fast, but how does it compare quality wise?

I'm trying to keep ICS out of the equation, since the RAZR will have it soon.

And then theres the iPhone. I've heard the camera is awesome on it, it has a GPU that still can't be beat by any Android phone, and Apple is really awesome with providing updates quick, and for a long time after they released a phone. The thing that really holds me back though, is the 3.5 inch screen. Yes, it's an awesome screen, and amazing PPI, but I'm not sure I could get used to a screen that small after having an SGSII and Evo3D for a while with a 4.3 inch screen.

So yeah, is there anything about the RAZR I should know about? What phone would you choose if you haven't chosen what you have? And how do you find the battery life?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZeWhiteRabbit:
Dude it depends on your experience by using Android phones or IOS Phones for me 4s is better cuz it has lots of features when jailbreaked....About Nexus its cool but kinda "slow" IOS Has better speed and performance I mean NO LAGG at 4S

PLEASE GIMME THANKS!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
From those 3 phones I would choose the Razr. The thing that is bringing up the thought of returning mine is the bootloader: will it get unlocked or not, if so when? The apple Iphone I would simply never ever consider it because the phone is so locked(no widgets etc) and the Gnex is awesome because there is so many roms+ unlocked BL. But if the RAZR gets the BL unloacked I think it will be a beast. The built quality is one of the best i`ve seen on an Android phone. Beats bith the Gnex and Iphone.

Sorry for spelling mistakes I am writing this on my tab without auto correction.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
There is no lag on ICS Gnex either...get ur facts straight
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZeWhiteRabbit:
Don't teach me cuz my dad has an jailbreaked 4s and my GD has nexus so I now the difference!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
LOL my friend have both a Gnex and IP4S and I can see no diffrence, you must be blind or something. Also u need to jailbreak ur phone in order to take controll over it, pathetic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] netban:
GN for sure. More dev support.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mannyAk47:
My advice is the Razr as i have had a Iphone4s and nexus and a Galaxy S2

the razr is best in build quality along with the iphone4S

Iphone 4S is the most overrated hardware in this century so far i kept it for 1 day and sold it

While Samsung phones feel all cheap and nasty but have great features

The Razr is a great phone and its now my main phone , defo the best phone on the market at present

only bad side to Razr is locked bootloader and it doesnt have WIFI direct

great roms Icecream Sandwich roms already out put the phone to near full potential

Cant really fault this phone its the best by far
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
I came to the Razr Maxx from the Evo 3D. I loved the Evo 4G and Evo 3D. You won't notice anything about the screen that overly zealous people are complaining about on the Razr's screen. The screen is great. But get the Maxx. The battery lasts all day long. You'll really like that feature.

The Apple's screen is just too small. It would be nice if they released a phone with a bigger screen and loosened their control over the device just a bit. With Jobs dead now you would think that might happen but I wouldn't hold my breath. Afterall, why give the public something they might want. Apple knows best.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
get an iphone kthxbai
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LOCKDOC_UA:
For me decision to buy a razr was quite easy. I had 3gs & 2x iP 4 and I definitely didn't want to come back to this s#*%. I'm talking abt iTunes and othes "advantages" of IOS.

Samsung devices are realy high performance but.. looks and feels like a piece of crappy plastic. But I wanted nice and solid looking device.

Well, that's my story.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
thanks whore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
I wouldn't add much to what everyone here has already said. It basically boils down to preference.

iPhone 4s has a really smooth interface and yeah iOS is optimized like ****! But then you're hardware support is gonna run out pretty soon cuz it has no dev community. Also if you're an experiment freak like me, you're gonna feel caged. You'll be stuck with an older version of iOS while all the newer Apple devices will get updated.

With Android that isn't the case, I still have my old 2010 SE Xperia X8 and even it's got an ICS port. So device support (at least unofficially) isn't an issue.

Now coming down to GNex vs. RAZR

RAZR wins out on almost every front. Better build quality, signal/reception, camera, call quality and GPS. A smaller screen and lesser res(it in no way looks pixellated or anything, the display is just beautiful but statistically lesser in res and size) with the same GPU as GNex means you'll get higher frame rates as games start taxing these GPUs. Also its the slimmest in the world(one of a kind) with a revolutionary design so you got bragging rights too! :D

The RAZR has a TI OMAP 4430, which is a lower model that GNex's TI OMAP 4460, but then their both clocked at 1.2 GHz. Untill we get overclocking support, you won't actually notice any difference at stock speeds.(please correct me if im wrong here)

The RAZR does lose out on the locked bootloader and direct update support. But we've heard from kholk that a bootloader bypass is on the way and also that Motorola is planning to unlock our bootloaders with the ICS update in Q2.

The fact that Gnex has ICS again doesn't matter much. ICS doesn't bring any thing really useful to the table. Its just like a hyper-optimized Gingerbread. No lags, smooth UI and all that ****.

The RAZR is scheduled for the ICS update anyways and I'm pretty sure that it'll see android 5.0 too!

PS: Even if the Gnex was better than the RAZR in every damned specification, I would still buy the RAZR. I just can't stand the plastic on Samsung phones. When the hell are they gonna learn that you don't put something as cheap as plastic on high end phones! :/

BTW tried to keep my thoughts as unbiased as possible. Hope it helped! :D

EDIT

Sorry forgot somethings!

Battery on the RAZR is awesome! I can easily get 1.5 days of normal usage with some wifi (no data however). Also you can use setCPU to lower processor speeds when the screen is off! Thats a big battery booster!

Battery Life Order:

RAZR>iPhone 4S> GNEX(Battery on the GNEX truly SUCKS!, idk what samsung was thinking)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Ya when you can run custom kernels on the RAZR it will be awesome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Barkleyfan:
All in what you want. IPhone has kinda a Fisher Price ui IMO. It is fast & smooth. And is missing lee capability. Screen is beautiful, but tiny.

Nexus has a cheap battery door. The camera is small, but fast. And there us no SD slot. Deal killer for me.

I have a couple Razr Maxx's. I love them. They are sturdy, and the battery life is phenomenal. Motorola Blur is coming along nicely. The smart actions are extremely handy, as is Motocast. HDMI has full mirroring, which is also nice. The nano-coating is not only water resistant, its fingerprint resistant. Bootloader is the only negative for this phone, unless you're looking for NFC or a barometer.

If u are a crack flasher, u might want the nexus. Otherwise, for something that just dominated out of the box, Maxx can't be beat yet IMO. Don't waste you're money on a og Razr. U will just end up frustrated with battery life.
