Why are you telling him to be one of those asshats who break something due to their own fault and returns it instead of fixing it themselves? This is software and easily fixable. This is why you can't have nice things.
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
I got 3 cases for my Lumia 900 and wanted to do a quick review of them so that it could help some of you guys decide one which ones to buy.

Prices listed are directly from the manufacturers website, I am sure you could find them cheaper elsewhere.

Incipio NGP

Price: $19.99

This case isn't too thick but it is thicker than the AT&T Gel case and will offer more protection against drops. Incipio's NGP is a TPU style case, so it's more stiff than traditional silicone cases and it doesn't attract any lint. The fit is very tight and leaves all the ports open, and covers all the buttons.

The only issue I had with this case was that the buttons are a bit tough to press. Especially when taking photos because it's hard to press the camera button on it's first stage for focus, I found it was a bit frustrating when using this case and taking photos. Other than that it's a very nice TPU style case that isn't too expensive.

AT&T Gel

Price: $20.00

This is more of a silicone type case, it's very flexible and has a smooth feel and doesn't attract lint. All the ports are left open, the buttons are covered.

This case is awesome if you like the look and feel of a naked phone because you can hardly tell this case is on the phone. The buttons are very easy to press. It does offer some protection but not as much as the Incipio NGP. I really enjoyed this case due to the fact that it feels like there's no case on the phone at all. It's not too pricey at 20 bucks.

Case-Mate Tough Case

Price: $35.00

This case has an inner soft silicone piece and an outer polycarbonate shell that fits over the silicone. The shell also has a rubbery coating. This case is the thickest of the three, it is also the most protective against drops. I really like this case due to the protection it offers. It fits very well.

This case seems like something Otterbox would have made, it reminds me of their commuter series cases. It leaves all the ports open, it covers the buttons and they are easy to press. The one thing to note is the camera cutout is much small than the other two cases which I personally like, that means that little chrome strip in the back is less likely to get scratched up.

The silicone on this case does collect a bit of lint which is kind of annoying. It's a bit of a trade-off for the protection. It fits very well and looks good. It does thicken the phone up a good amount but that doesn't bother me personally.

Overall it's a very nice case, and the best choice if you want protection, a little more expensive than the others but you are getting something more protective.

[Unfortunately I don't have enough posts to add my link to all the photos I took... :-(
[Nokia Lumia 900] EggNogg421:
I also have the Incipio NGP case in Translucent Mercury and I have also noticed that it is hard to press the buttons. I'm not sure if my case is bad but it looks like the buttons on the case are about 1-2mm lower than the buttons on the phone which I think is causing the button problem.

I also have the casemate barely there case in black which matches with the phone color really well. My only problem with the case mate is the top and the bottom of the phone is exposed with no coverage. the only top and bottom protection seems to come from the case being a little longer than the phone causing a some what annoying over hang.

I'm kinda new here too so I can't post any pictures but I will try too when I am able too.
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
I thought about purchasing the barely there case but it just doesn't offer the protection I need. I am pretty happy with their Tough Case though.
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
I wanted to update this now and post the link to the photos, so here they are!
[Nokia Lumia 900] dfkd:
Thanks for the photos.

Just what I wanted to see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferndom:
I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergioosvaldo1:
May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kg4zxk:
Which update? Carrier or XDA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomad4ever:
The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.

I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.

If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fooboto:
I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.

So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?

Anyone else have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eliasgkphoto:
Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oliie23:
My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chili_red:
I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fooboto:
Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.

My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work??? :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cabronsaim:
+1000
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverickrulz:
+1

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] globen:
Are roms going to be built from source or just ported over to us from Verizons devs. Examples like gummy, aokp, ect. I'm really excited to flash aokp when its available! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Source built ports.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] globen:
So I would imagine these roms will be plentiful in the next couple weeks? Wish I knew more and could help out. That aokp rom looks hot, with all the customizations. Can't wait!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would expect within 1-2 weeks max.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
I though HTC said last year they were going to chill out on the releasing of like 700 different models.

Why the hell are they releasing a new Droid incredible thats completely different from the one series.

When are manufacturers going to realize that instead of pumping out hundreds upon hundreds of different models they could have like 2-3 different models and take them to all the carriers. I thought that was the direction HTC was headed with the One series but now once again they will release those as well as another evo, another incredible and they still say they have 3 more phones in the pipeline.

I mean instead of having a ton of different phones with mediocre hardware and R&D why can't they just be more like (This is the only context i will ever say this in) Apple well designed phones across all carriers. It seems like they would save some money on design as well...

Its not like people are stupid enough to run out multiple times a year and buy the new HTC phone. Even the most tech obsessed people change phones once a year (normally).

It seems to me that if this is working so well for apple why cant it work for other manufacturers...?
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
The iphone is that way because apple has such a stranglehold on the carriers that they allow them to have THE ONE, THE ONLY IPHONE on their network... HTC to get phones on the network has to bend to the carriers demand to get their phones on the network, at least they are not using different hardware for them, so they can update relatively quickly
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
they simply ment you wont see stuff like the Sensation, Sensation XL, and then toss in the Rhyme and things like that...still lineup will be much less than previous year.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
They can pump out a million phones for all I care as long as we get the updates when PROMISED and not 6 months later.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
The new Incredible still looks similar to the One series. They have their design template, now they're just releasing the phones according to that. I'm sure carriers push for something more exclusive to them, hence the EVO LTE on Sprint and the Incredible LTE on Verizon. Both lines are well known.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
This Apple is only.people.that have more control then the carriers in the phone market
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
yeah.

it did catch my eye too

htc one v

htc one s

htc one x

three htc desire things for china

htc evo 4g lte omg

and another one?

le sigh.
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
How do you satisfy the hand that feeds you when their requirements are "It needs to be something different, that the other carriers don't have".

Look at the HTC EVO LTE.. It's a rebranded HTC ONE X.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
The dragon series has been in play in China for a couple of years I believe, we just don't year about them here, incredible is a redesign one s, evo LTE a one x

What's the big deal here, they have to listen to carriers to have something different, other than the dragon series I have not seen a "different" (talking hardware) HTC phone out this year
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
Doesn't Crapple hold the patent for only manufacturing one phone? Had to say it.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Actually I think so
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Here are the "whys":

1. U.S. Carriers, simply do not flex. There has to be some difference, some 1 up or some brand/design designation. In the U.S. when you buy a phone, you buy a bond with the phone & the carrier. They feel the need to stand out in some form or fashion.

Ex: AT&T was itching to say their iPhone was 4G, Nokia's Brand-free flagships never making it to the U.S.,The Samsung Galaxy & Galaxy SII series naming/differences, etc. the list goes on.

2. 2 words China Mobile... Maybe a cost thing? The HTC Dragon series is low end, China Mobile isn't playing for losses of any kind, they're pretty hardcore profit wise. Even Apple had a hard time with China Mobile before a deal was finally struck, had Apple by the balls.

[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
Did you have the phone connected to power?

I've noticed that once in a while when on a/c power my phone will glitch and just start randomly doing stuff.

But if you were on Wifi it could be possible or maybe even over bluetooth.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Can always turn off phone, reboot to recovery and factory reset/wipe data.

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
Turn on airplane mode. If it continues, it's something local causing the problem, since all remote access will have been disconnected. With touchscreens, a bit of water or high humidity can cause apparently random "clicks" on the screen, which could appear to be someone doing things.
[HTC Rezound] swilbert80:
Unfortunately, it could also have come over 3g/4g if the wrong app had been unknowingly installed, or flashed... Could just be a power issue though. Either way, if it was me, I would have pulled the battery, went and changed my pants, and then post the list of everything flashed and installed. Thank you much.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Slff:
Hi guy's i searched the forums but as i'm new android i cant seem to find a complete answer. I loaded saurom last night but i want to load one of the ics leaks so do i have to get rid of saurom first or can i just load it. I could use a really good how to as im not really up on these methods and it seems like a lot of these how to threads take it for granite we know something before we start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
It depends on which method you want to run. You can use the rootzwiki leak which is a tar file used in Odin. Or you can use dagr8's CWM flashable zip.

Let me know which one you want to use and I'll give you further directions. (Odin method would be easier for newbs)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Scythe024:
Theres a Q & A section for questions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Slff:
Thanks i was going to use the exe type using odin like the one i found on rootgalaxynote.com or if you know of a bettervone im open.

Also thanks vm for responding, im on telus in canada if that makes a diff and i have rooted and have cw also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
Do a nandroid backup and then flash one of the ics roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
If you know how to use CWM I'd recommend using that one. I believe if you flash the rootzwiki one you will lose root and CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Slff:
I have done a nandroid and when you say flash i guess you mean load the exe through odin, if so it comes back as failed all the time, do i have to try a diff com or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
Follow the instructions and method in this thread. If you have any further questions let me know:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
I would suggest maybe starting with the collective First flight ics it just has fewer steps at this point. What you want to do is download the rom to your sd card and follow the instructions on wiping.

If you need more help feel free to pm me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
1. Back Up your Stuff.

2. Wipe Data/ Factory Reset

3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

4. Flash .zip in recovery

5. Allow full first boot, reboot

6. Sign in to Market to add account.

i did, same e-mails ect. as those who paid 199. on or before the 6th..

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mekkelrichards:
First off, I would like to say that I know there are certain "approved WP7 sd cards."

I have a Samsung Focus running cleanRom 2.0. I also have an 8gb sd card installed. It's not a fast one or anything, and I am not even sure if it is WP7 approved.

Now here is my question: When I am connected to WiFi, youtube videos (or any streamable videos) load and being playing on my phone near instantly. When I am on 3G and even 3G+ (HSPA+) they will load the first 9-12seconds literally instantly and play up until that point, but then they will stop loading.

Is this a problem with the SD card do you think? Because they load instantly with no problems over WiFi, I do not think this has to do with the SD card. I have speedtested my 3G numerous times with very fast results each time (running on StraightTalk which uses AT&T towers). Everything else related to using 3G loads quickly.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ren13B:
My Focus started having that exact same problem with all video. Youtube videos and video that I had on Skydrive all acted like you describe. At first I thought it was my SD card but the problems persisted after I removed it and reset it.

Why videos worked on WiFi and not 3G I never figured out. The phone was having other issues as well which led me to believe the internal storage was failing on me so I ended up replacing the phone with a Lumia 900.

It wouldn't surprise me if the problem is being caused by AT&T throttling or dropping the stream to conserve bandwidth. It sounds like something they would do.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Did you measured your bandwidth/download speed on 3G? ;) Try to measure and compare with WiFi bandwidth. Probably your connection speed isn't enough for HD vids.

Your question is looks really strange: "YouTube videos are playing good on WiFi but not on 3g, is it my sdcard?" :D Why do you suspect a sdcard? I don't know what are you using for YouTube but technically those videos can be played from RAM, without any storage - you may trust me...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alireza_simkesh:
Hi All,

Ive got a non-branded Nexus S, running on Official Stock 4.0.3.

I just got the OTA for 4.0.4 a few days ago but so far i have not been able to install it. My phone downloaded the OTA then I tried flashing the OTA update with stock recovery, but it says "failed to verify whole-file signature".

Tried installing the OTA update with CWM, but it gives me status 7 error.

When i hit restart and let it install on its own, it gets stuck on android guy. and after pressing vol up+power, it gives me the same error: "failed to verify whole-file signature".

I have stock recovery, stock official rom, locked bootloader and rooted.

Can someone please let me know how to install this?

Nexus S - Baseband

Hi,

I am having similar problems with my Nexus S. Here is the info:

Model:Nexus S I9020A

Android Version: 4.0.4

Baseband: NO DGSXXKI1

Kernel: 3.0.8-g6656123 android-build@vpbs1 #1 Thu Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012

Build: IMM76D

Product name:HEARING

HW VERSION: REV 16

BOOTLOADER VERSION: I9020XXKL1

BASEBAND VERSION: I9020XXKI1

CARRIER INFO: ATT

SERIALNUMBER: 37335082822D00EC

LOCK STATE: UNLOCKED

Problem 1: The baseband on Settings is different from the one on the recovery menu and I think this is making me lose signal (which is my major problem), isn't the baseband supposed to be I9020AUCKJ1.

Problem 2: I tired installing the Incremental Update IMM76D from GRK39F to try to fix the baseband using the stock recovery (ie. Volume Up Power On, then Power Volume Up for blue menu and selecting recovery, then selecting the file named update.zip which I downloaded, renamed and placed in the root folder) I got the file from "randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/i9020a/" and I get the e: signature verification failed error

Please help me, I'm new at this but I cant figure this out!

You most likely modified the stock rom in some way. Like removing amazon mp3 store apk etc.

Since you're rooted you can download and flash a rooted stock rom. You could download the official factory images and manually flash them with fastboot. That would require you to unlock the bootloader though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
incremental updates only work when you have the right update for the right ROM. Since you are already on 4.0.4 you can't really the patch to"fix" things. I've not recently checked the status of the ota's but check to see if there is a full ROM version, you should be able to apply that. alternatively, you can apply a zip with the correct modern either through adb out cwn.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
Hello all,

I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Note i717R from someone and I got it unlocked to use with Bell Mobility.

I've rooted the phone and it feels that the phone lags sometimes. I don't even have much installed. In fact I had much more stuff installed on my previous SGS2! Even the batter life is poor than what I was getting on my S2. (4 hrs vs 2 hrs screen time). I'm not complaining about battery life. Just stating my results.

Anyways, my question is wether I should sell the i717R model and buy the International (N7000) model. I've heard/read stuff that the International version is way better than the devices provided by AT&T, Bell, Rogers etc. Is it true? OR

am I better off staying with my i717R.

Selling the i717R isn't a problem, and neither is buying the N7000! I'm sure I will get it for the same price!

Please suggest...

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutekidane:
I had a I717 before (AT&T model). The phone lagged so much I sold it on the same day I bought it and ordered the N7000. Best decision ever.

Though the N7000 lacks LTE and NFC, the development (ROMS, etc), Exynos processor, and the physical "home" button makes-up for it.
