[HTC One X] IdanK:
As promised, I have received the Aprolink case and here's my review:

First, the case comes in a box that transforms into a photo frame but I was unable to check this feature since I have no printed photos in that size. The instructions says that 3x5 inches photo will fit.

Second, the case is BEAUTIFUL! The color I bought is glossy white with red and I think it's adding a nice color to the all-white device.

The color really shows on this photo

The case has EXACT holes and cut outs for the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB port and tiny yet precise cut outs for the microphones (on the top and on the bottom of the device), a nice circle around the camera and flash and a split speaker grill cutout (that does not affect the sound output).

The volume buttons and the sleep/wake button are covered by rubber and are very easy to press. Volume buttons are slightly narrow so that might take a few minutes to get used to.

The case also has a lip so you can lay your phone on the table while the screen is facing down without worrying.

The camera lens are protected as well

IMPORTANT!!

I own an international Tegra3 device so at&t and One XL owners might experience a slight misalignment here and there!

For more colors and some information, Aprolink's official webpage.

they look awesome O.o
[HTC One X] IdanK:
Found some photos of the Sensation case (different design, though), still gives a nice overall feeling about the quality of the case:

[HTC One X] nooomoto:
Hey those are sweet! Thanks!
[HTC One X] IdanK:
After checking out the Sensation case in the link above and watching several videos of their iPhone cases I was very impressed by Aprolink's products and I have decided to order the case.

I guess this could take a while since the seller is shipping from Taiwan.

If no one else will do it before me, I'll upload some photos and a review when I'll receive it.

*Edit: Review added on 1st post.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Can you show more angles of the camera, protection looks minimal tbh
[HTC One X] IdanK:
The lens are almost on the same level with the case so it's not that simple to catch on photo. It's not as protective as an Otterbox but according to photos it provides protection that competes with Case-Mate's Tough case.

Anyway, here's the photo:

If you want a shot from different angle I can try to catch it. A picture of the desired position (with a different case) might help as well.
[HTC One X] Ripley:
Hmm it's more of a cutout than protection then. The cutout on my Rock Magic Cube has a 2mm lip that surrounds the lens, offering great scratch protection. Also, the cutout on mine is alot smaller, surrounding the actual lens diameter, not the bigger silver circle around it.

Oh well, thanks for the pic
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Just ordered 1 :) should be here in 3 weeks :(
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
Received my white and grey one today, which was ordered on the 11th June - China to the UK in 7 days ain't bad at all.

Nice case, aside from the aprolink logo on the back being slightly skewed.

I was previously using the official HTC C700 hard case, which looks great, but is so damn slippy. This case just sticks to your fingers and makes one handed operation much easier.
[HTC One X] IdanK:
Can you post some photos too? I'd like to see it in "real life". Especially since the red one which I have is slightly different shade of red from the one in the promotional photos.

On a side note, I have to agree about the ease of operation with the case. Definitely a case that was manufactured with functionality in mind and not that cheapo feel of various no-brand cases.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
Will do, I'll try and take some in the morning.
[HTC One X] junialum:
Thanks for the review.

To make the case stand, you stick a card in the back of it?

Do they provide it?
[HTC One X] IdanK:
Yes, you can stick any card as long as it's approximately 5.3cm long and it fits right in. Credit cards are great for that cause :D

A card is not included with the case.
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
I upload some pictures with the case actually on the phone later:

Edit...pics with the case on the phone.

Not the best pictures, my galaxy nexus is not the brilliant in low light (or maybe my camera lens cover just needs a damn good clean!).
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Here it is in black/gray. The gray glows in the dark. :eek:

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a six or seven. The black is glossy and picks up swirls and scuffs easily. It holds the phone fine but there's a small amount of up and down movement. The button you push for power is pure show because when you push it all you're doing is pushing the flush inside of the case downward until it hits the power button. You get used to it though. The slot you stick a credit card in is very shallow - you need a thick unbending card for it to really stay in place and support the phone. Even then, using the touch screen without holding the phone with one hand will move the phone and knock the credit card out. It's really tippy in portrait mode. Overall I'd rate it good, not great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Anyone is using the widget locker lock screen replacement? How did you resolved "swipe to pin" that is not working on the razr stock lockscreen so I can skip the stock lockscreen and go directly to the password dialog??

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] collins521:
Do you have root?

Under root helper in advanced you can change it to the DROID bionic and it will auto swipe the stock lock
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Yes I have - I tried all the possibilities in the root helper but the swipe is not being done correctly (if i am fast enough to swipe the locker screen an then the stock lock screen to see the password dialog, i can see that it swipes over "qwertyuiop" but its a wrong place because the unlock ring is much lower on the screen...) :-(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] collins521:
I just tested it on mine and it swiped the lockscreen just fine
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
May I ask you what is your setting and which type of the autoswipe you picked in the menu? Are you on stock 2.3.6?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] collins521:
Ya I'm on stock 2.3.6 .181, I have the ICS lockscreen style look. I picked the MotoBionic under the Advanced - Root Helper - Autoswipe Pin. Also just put in a password in the security & lock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Strange - I have the exactly same setup but I can't bypass directly to the password prompt...- the ring in the middle of the screen remains untouched..

What do you mean by " Also just put in a password in the security & lock."?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] collins521:
I put a password in the "location & security", I used the password setup...are you using the pin? I noticed with the pattern I didn't need to have the auto swipe to use the pattern lock
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
I am using standard password - not a pin or swipe geasture...

Strange....strange..... :-(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Since its cwm that isnt loading, wouldnt it make more sense to try increasing the recovery partition size rather than the system partition size? Since the recovery is usually before the system, and the system one is empty, there's no reason it would interfere with cwm starting.

If it is bad blocks, they're gonna be in the boot or recovery (or cache?i think only recovery uses the cache partition on most setups)partition to cause cwm to fail.

Please use the edit post button. What samsamuel's basically saying is to go into the CWM folder, open the file 'flash.cfg' with notepad and try just increasing the partitions there. I don't think there's a recovery partition though :confused: but the other two he mentioned (boot/cache) are there.

See this guide for some more info on editing the flash.cfg.

Hi, im not really sure about my evos battery life. I took it off of the charger and its already dropped to 87% i have all of the recomended apps such as battery deffender and advanced task manager and nothing helps. Any help i could get?

Sent from my SWAGEDOUTEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
first drop task manager.. evolte has one built in sorta but android doesnt need it. i would drop both to be honest ive pounded mine in use and still havent gone into the yellow. first thin i would look at is cell signal.. update prl/profile etc. then second check your stats sending.. did you agree to send HTC/google data on usage? if so maybe thats it tho i doubt it

last check on apps youve installed maybe you got one thats going nuts.. take a screen shot of your power usage and post it too
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yeah, you don't need a task manager on android 2.2+

Also, does Evo LTE have the same charging circuitry the Evo 4g did, where if you pull it off the charger at 100%, it really could be anywhere from 90-100 and battery meter shows the true charge a couple minutes off charger ?

The problem is according to your username and icon you're on AT&T.

It takes a lot of juice for that Sprint phone to pick up an AT&T signal so it runs your battery down faster.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
i dont think it makes a difference on this phone. on the OG yes.. if you turned on wimax even in a wimax area it sucked power. my understanding is the wimax used a separate chip and thus drew more power where as LTE is built in and uses no real extra power
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:
Ive fully charged the phone twice so far and both times Ive gotten around 23hours of use. Thats with moderate usage of texts, facebook, internet, and the addicting yet battery killing game Crime City. I bet if I didnt play that game I could easily get a day and a half.

For reference, my OG evo battery would be dead in about 6 hours doing the same exact stuff. Granted, I was on the original 2 year old battery.

My battery is amazing I still have 70% after 8 hrs. Try downloading bad ass battery monitor it's great. I also use battery level to keep my screen at 25% and not auto brightness or nothing. The other saving tips could be obvious, no vibration on anything, wifi if possible, not many widgets running, syncing. I always turn my 3G/mobile network off when I leave the house I just turn it on when I'm checking FB, Twitter stuff like that

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hunt3r.j2:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c5satellite2:
Turn off pocket mode if enabled, make sure WiFi is not set to high performance(won't deep sleep, and check your brightness settings(use auto brightness or turn it down manually. Also, shut off haptic feedback and dialer keytones. Don't use task killer programs either, they actually wind up using more battery, since 2.2 they are not needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
If you want a task killer there are options in the settings/development that allow you to change max amount of apps running
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rodrigo87:
no its power button+volume down

I see lots of tips that on the og EVO that would be very helpful..but I'm telling you I'm using the phone stock out of the box everything on even haptic and get over 16 hrs without going init yellow..

If more people were conservative like you people wouldn't be complaining about battery life. I guess it's either laziness or ignorance that people don't do these types of precautions.

I'll never understand this. People will be told not to use advanced task killer or any task killer for that matter yet they will always install it on their phone right away and ask why they are having problems with things. Most specifically battery life.

I remember back when I had the og EVO everyone said turn off 'pocket mode' and flip to silence. They said it would help battery life. Does anyone know if the same would apply?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
I really don't see how people are having battery issues unless they talk for hours or are using the phone as a main pc for web and such. I'm no hardcore user but I can get well over 16 hrs with moderate use of net,phone,text,YouTube,streaming etc.. and still have over 40% battery with 50% screen time. This all on stock settings with pocket mode on and silence on pickup off

I took the phone of the charger at 100% and used the internet on 3G continuously for 2 hours just to see what would happen. It went down 40% in that time period.

I then browsed on WiFi for an hour and only lost 7%. Is that typical? So far in 3 hours and 6 minutes my stats are:

53% Battery Left

75% Screen

12% Dolphin

3% System

so turning data off, that messes with gmail syncing?? trying to figure out all the cons of doing this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Just had to say this because I am confused hearing this "WHOA my screen % is too high!" stuff...

It's a percentage... It HAS to add up to 100% folks. If you use nothing but your screen, it's going to be a high percentage. If you really want to make your screen percentage lower, turn on 3g, WiFi, Bluetooth, make phone calls, and listen to music with the screen off. However, that would be dumb.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benthe1:
Yes, turning off data messes with pretty much all syncing. Text and phone calls are handled by a different protocol. Turning off 3G is most beneficial when you're in a low coverage area or traveling a lot. If I had a non-removable battery I would probably do the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eman3316@optonline.net:
What people don't realize is that light to moderate use varies in opinion from person to person. So if someone says that there phone lasted for 2 days with moderate usage, without a screen shot of their on-screen time what does that really mean anyway?

The most important thing you want to look for is your on-screen time. Does it really matter if your phone can sleep for a week? I would say most people go home by the end of the day where they will have a charger around.

Also remember, if you are running off of wifi all day, your phone will draw less power when you are using it then if on 3g/lte.

Based on other devices, if you are pulling 3-4 hours of on-screen time over 3G/LTE I would say you are sitting where other CDMA phones sit right now and should be happy especially if you are closer to the 4 hours mark.

The only devices that are pulling more then that are GSM phones because their radio's do not use as much power and the Razr Maxx on Verizon which has a huge battery, over 3000mah I believe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benthe1:
That's crazy but it seems like the battery calibration is off. Try doing it the opposite where you use the phone with wifi on for two hours straight then switch to 3G for an hour. I would be very interested to see your results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am sure his battery calibration is fine. Wifi uses less power then 3G. Also a lot of other things get factored in when your battery gets read like how the phone was being used up to that point and what it is currently doing.

On my GNEX, if I use the phone for a straight while the battery will drop consistently, then if I let it stand by for a bit the battery level will actual climb up without charging it.

Trust me, his phone is fine. No need to panic and and worry people. Do you know how many people probably exchange phones because they think there is something wrong with it when it is 100% fine.
