[Nokia Lumia 900] whoopwoop:
I've recently picked up an otterbox defender for my 900. I dont have pictures but there's a video i watched on youtube before purchasing the case.

First off, for those who don't know, there are two cases for the 900, the communter and defender. The commuter appealed to me more due to the thinner form factor, but upon trying it on, there were several openings where dust/dirt could get in from everyday use, and the inner silicone did not exactly fit like a glove. Also, unlike the defender, the headphone jack is left open and lacks a "built in" screen protector. (you get a typical plastic stick on protector) So i went with the defender.

Like the commuter, it is a 2 part case, except the silicone is on the outside of the hard shell enclosing the phone. Unlike the commuter though, the defender comes with a belt clip/kickstand. Not very useful to me but maybe some of you use a beltclip.

The first thing you'll notice with the defender is it is thick, and by thick i mean it literally doubles the thickness of the phone. It seems cumbersome at first, but i've been using it for about 3 days and im getting used to it. Probably not for those who want to keep the form factor of the phone. It does however fit in my pocket no problem. no Lin issues with the silicone either. Also, you can put your phone facedown now because theres a 2 cm ridge from the screen. (check videos/online photos you'll know what i mean)

I've had otterboxes before (iphone 3GS, dell streak) and the Lumia otterbox is a huge improvement form the older ones. Previous otterboxes i've had slighty scratches the phone when clicked together, but the Lumia version has a layer of foam inside to prevent sliding/abrasion within the case and dirt/dust entry. It's also easier to take apart imo. The bulit in screen protector is excellent (however if you are currently using a stick on protector you need to peel it off or else ur screen sensitivity will become utter crap (you'll have to press really hard).

The outer silicone is also different form other otterboxes, it's stiffer, more difficult to put on but stays in place. switches now have a more "clickier" feeling, probably due to the switches being elevated by the silicone. The whole phone is basically covered, including the chrome at the back which is nice for a change. The only things left unprotected are the mics on the top and bottom (speaker grille)

I only have a couple complaints:

Price - it IS a 60 dollar case with taxes and everything.

The touch buttons at the bottom are a bit hard to press; sometimes my finger doesnt register due to the risen edge surrounding the front of the phone. It is a tad bit annoying but i rather put up with a minor inconvenience than shatter my phone's screen from a drop.

Overall I'd give this case an 8/10.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
I have no clue how you can ruin the phone's amazing design with such bulku cases. :D

I have the original Nokia gel case and this case does justice to the phone's design.
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
I bought the Commuter but it was a lot bigger than I expected. Well, a lot thicker anyway. I loved the commuter for the iPhone 4 but it's just too big for my taste on the L900. I did end up buying the Speck Fitted for the L900 and it's a great case without too much bulk, however I do still really like the gel case cuz it looks like there isn't even a case on the phone
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Yeah the OEM Nokia gel case is unbelievably unobtrusive. People still have a hard time believing me that the phone is actually in a case.
[Nokia Lumia 900] LordGreylock:
Same here, with the gel case everyone asks me if there is a case on it, and when I tell them there is they comment on how they can't even tell.

I was tempted to buy the Defender just cuz I sometimes I need that on my phone, but it's just insanely huge to me, I couldn't deal with it. I am also a strong advocate against men wearing skinny jeans too so, I don't have problems putting phones in my pocket lol.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Hahahaha thumbs up!
[Nokia Lumia 900] LastBattle:
I won't buy this, you know.. Its like fitting your sexy Lumia 900 with a garbage bag..

If its smaller and thinner, perhaps I will consider.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tyrone913:
hey guys ive been having trouble to get flash an fxz because rsdlite kept saying flash failed, but i think i finally got it right. now my question is what is the atrix 2 stock 2.3.5 kernel version and build number? my phone currently says (after fxz): Android Version 2.3.5, Kernel Version: 2.6.3598a0a06 hkdp76@ca25rhe91#1, Build Number: 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-16
[Motorola Atrix 2] br0adband:
I just did a factory wipe/reset using RSD Lite to 2.3.5 using the AT&T Retail 2.3.5 ROM from here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

(and I did add the little patch file because I had been running 2.3.6) and the build info and kernel version match what you posted so, I'd say that's the true "stock" factory condition, yep. I'm already updating to 2.3.6 as I'm typing this, actually.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
So I've read around and decided to post a thread about this issue because I've noticed at least 5 users complaining about it. Multiple times per hour my wifi will disconnect and the phone will not detect the network. It can take up to 5 minutes for it to reconnect. I know its not my router because my Nexus and other devices have never done this. All of the Wifi settings are default. If anyone else has noticed this even once please post if you notice any trends and what you all be doing about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vegeta1:
try flashing different modem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dave2metz:
What other modems are there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sunilkumar.maharana:
Hi buddy just try to go in to recovery cwm 5 then mount system

clear dalvik cache clear battery stat reboot

then again boot to cwm5 mount system mount usb debug

then do factory reset (before u do this back up all apps and contacts) then reboot and voila the wifi now dosent get disconnected

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
I'm stock unrooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
I'm browsing all the wifi complaint threads. There is one that was started asking for details on what carrier,etc, in thoughts of trying to narrow it down.

ONe fella posted there that he returned his, and the new one works great.

I'm about to try the same thing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
I was hoping to avoid that. If I ordered online would I be successful taking it to the store?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lsusparky621:
I am having the same problem, but it's sporadic. Sometimes I'll go a couple of days with no problems before it will happen again. I am stock rooted with bloat removed.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
I have come to the conclusion that this is most likely just a software issue. I will not be returning mine and will wait for an OTA to see if it goes away. If that doesn't fix it then off to ATT I go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Dave the Knave:
I have this problem, but it always happens the same way.

The phone will lock up, I'll get an ANR popup for Samba Filesharing, I'll hit close, and the wifi comes back on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
I just got back from exchanging at the local AT&T store. I got their last SGS III. But I suspect that some stores may not exchange...not sure. Just need to try.

I"m not sure hot to tell it to "use N radio". I'll explore. But first want to test to see if I still have the problem on this new phone.

I did that on my Captivate re: GPS. Never got fixed. I lived 2 years with poor GPS.

Thanks for giving the i815 some love. I like having one stop and maybe others can add to it so this becomes the go-to thread.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
This is the i815 partition layout, right?

Thanks.

A lot of the info I find here pertains specifically to the 6800/6810 as they are the more widely used devices, so I decided to try and create a thread to find i815 specific info for future reference for myself or anyone else who owns an i815.

I'd love for anyone to help add to it as well!

Outgoing calls on the Verizon Tab 7.7

Using Groove IP (available on the market), I am able to make outgoing calls but not incoming calls. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
With so many threads on the P6800/P6810 it would nice to have this thread stickied so one doesn't have to search around for the few i815 threads.

electron73's recovery post is *extremely* helpful and works (first-hand personal experience).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
yes /mount run from terminal emulator on my i815 hoping someone else could confirm the same on theirs.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tr2ride:
for incoming calls make sure to enable gtalk as an endpoint in google voice settings ( web site )
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
Can anyone savvy enough who has a linux/UNIX box create an Odin flashable tar file from the Stock FD01 image i posted above that electron73 pulled?

It would be a great help for anyone who wants to flash the stock recovery through Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Enter your password?

Not sure what happened. I flashed CWM after doing: "recovery-from.boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" then power down your tab.

Flashed CWM using PC Odin pda with auto reboot, f. reset time. Got PASS.

CWM loaded up but rebooting to stock resulting in a screen stating to "enter your password".

I used adb to restore the file by removing the .bak from the file name. Rebooting into recovery shows Android systen recovery <3e>

The message at the bottom says:

E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

#manual mode#

any suggestions on getting booted back to stock ROM. I thought tar from above only flashed the recovery partition any reason why it wouldn't boot back into stock? Or any idea what to enter for the password?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gilbot:
I'm not sure why it would ask for a password. Are you basically getting a passworded lock screen when booting into the stock rom? Maybe the tab needs to have an unsecure lockscreen before attempting this.

At this point I would try to use electron73's FD01 files to get you back into the stock rom and restore stock recovery (you will lose root but should still keep all your apps and settings, etc..) Please take your time and know that based on the information I know, this might work, but know you're taking a risk. Please make sure you are only performing these procedures over your stock rooted rom.

-First load up an external microSD card with the "SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip" file electron73 hosted here : http://www.mywo.org:88/XDA/sch-i815/index.php. Hopefully you can do this on a PC or push it if you're able to use ADB. Don't flash this file yet, just have it on the external SD card and have the card in your tab.

Make sure your external microSD card is in the tab with the "SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip" file before you flash with Odin.

-Boot into download mode, load up Odin and Flash CWM again, without auto reboot checked. Once you get a green PASS with Odin, disconnect the tab and hold power until it powers down, but be ready to immediately hold power and volume up to boot into CWM once the tab turns off.

Do not

let it boot into the stock rom.

-At this point you should be booted in CWM. Using CWM, flash the "SCH-I815_FA02c_To_FD01.1.zip" on the external card. It will take a few minutes. This will basically re-flash the FD01 update onto your tab (except for the baseband), including the stock e3 recovery. The baseband shouldn't be needed at this point if you did the FD01 OTA update anyways.

-Reboot

You should now have stock 3e recovery and should be able to boot into the stock rom. You will not have root access. You can re-root your tab to gain root.​
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] gaarak54:
Will this work for the SCH-I800 for VZW? I'm rooted but CWM is V5.0.0.8 isnt working. I get hung up when trying to recover or add a rom.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
I use google voice app to initiate incoming calls and csip with pbx and ipkall to receive the calls. Works great with gvoice Forwarding. Incoming voice sounds great but apparently outgoing voice isn't picked up well. I may try gtalk for incoming call receipt to see how quality compares . Also thinking about Bluetooth headset to see if its the mic. Haven't tried video Skype to confirm a baseline voice quality of the device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dperez0426:
One question sorry I just want to make sure. I bricked my tab by trying to instal the p6800 Rom. I used the Rom to go back to stock by using the nano droid image. I noticed that I can't update to FD02. It gave the update notice but when I click update it restarts but gives me an error takes me back to the nano droid screen. Will flashing this Rom with Odin help me or am I missing something. I have rooted the tab and I just want to make sur this will help. Can anyone help. Sorry for the question. I found how to unbork but it was for a for a different decide. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
please confirm you have an I815. I'm confused because afaik the I815 latest is FD01. When I check my device it says no new updates.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dperez0426:
Yes I have the I815. There's should be an update I received the noticed on Friday thinking it was ICS but when clicked install it took me to Nano droid screen. So I decided to restore it again. But once I connected to the internet it gave me the message again. I tried to update and once again it took me back to the nanadroid. It seem it can't find a drive. I think m drive not even sure what that means. So any ideas on how to receive the updates?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
what is nano droid? Is that your recovery? What Baseband kernel and build does it say you have in about?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dperez0426:
Nano droid is whe you press the power button off and the volume up. Once the galaxy tab logo appears release the power button ans continue holdind the volume button up and should take you there. I'm not sure what kernel version I have I don't have my tab till later in the evening.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] dperez0426:
I guess I have the latest update but don't understand why I get an update notification. Once I click update it doesn't show up again so I'm baffled. I'll do a restore one more time to show you what it does.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
there is a paranoid android rom for i815 derived of the locerra version of CM. but non of the CM based roms have fully functional hardwares particularly gps, LTE, and Infrared. Unfortunate but the limited source releases have made it difficult to impossible. Plenty of people running them though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] schrochem:
Thanks for the info ray. That sounds like a good place to start. However, I don't think I'll be needing the other things like GPS you mentioned so I might give the others a try.

I guess the lp10 isn't debloated?

I did get a bit confused with electron's instructions. I believe I can ignore all the other instructions and just flash it (wipe or no wipe) like I would any other rom through cwm??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kralik:
Someone said GPS is fixed now, I wonder if it's true... hmm...

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Answering my own question... sounds like aorth has a build with GPS working for the 68x0 but not the Verizon i815.

New Noob Needing Specifics

Hi, I'm trying to decided on purchasing the I815 or the Toshiba Excite 7.7. I'm leaning toward the Galaxy 7.7 due to cost and the developer community and the fact that Toshiba doesn't support the customer or the devoloper community, period. Anyway, I am very confused about one main issue which is saving market apps to the SD card on the galaxy 7.7. Did Samsung fix this issue in the ICS update or will I need to root and follow the guides listed within XDA to be able to do this? I know that Toshiba doesn't allow write permission eitehr but I can get a 32gb version and have plenty of space. Whereas, 16gigs is very limiting.

I've had an HTC Evo View for a while now and need something comparable in storage specs. Would someone who owns this tab shed some light on the app to SD card issue for me.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rayjr13:
Cant confirm because I immediately rooted LP10. but i dont remember going and doing the guide again. The physical sdcard is still displayed as a subfolder of the internal "SdCard." But I got my situation correct for me and I'm using titanium backup so obviously rooted. If you are willing to root you have options.

i suggest using cwm to do it. Just in case you have the corrupted /data partition like me and many others. you can repair in adb. LP10 isnt debloated but as log as you are not interested in a future update which probably will never happen, you can root debloat and unroot. I havent confirmed that the unroot options works on LP10 though. Yes I use all the features of this device during my daily driver use so all the CM derivitives are a no go. I paid a premium for a tablet with that hardware so i want to use it. Otherwise there were other options minus the screen/size.

Njoy the i815 peeps

Another attempt at OTA ICS update

Reports are trickling in that some owners are getting the update available notifications as of 12/11/12 afternoon. Again a multi-part processs with a small file preceeding the larger upgrade.

Many reports of the initial file failing to install properly (again). One or two have successfully gotten to ICS even though the initial download showed fail.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Scotte3:
Mine failed.

I re-attempted about 10 times to install it.

Each time the reboot to the green droid failed with an exclaimation.

No joy for Christmas
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] locerra:
It is the exact same update as last time, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32571522&postcount=69 for an explanation as to why it will always fail (unless you happen to be on the a slightly different FD01b that Verizon seems to think that everyone has).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nocaldawg:
Verizon is trying to push this out again

Was reading a book last night and around midnight, I was advised that a system update is ready to install.....Sweet, I thought it must be ICS! The file was on the smaller side, so perhaps a two step process?! Well unfortunately, the same thing happened this time. Rebooted to the Lloyd screen, ran for a second, then the triangle with the exclamation point......Forced it to try two other times and the same result.....Why?! Anyone else have better luck?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] psijac:
Yesterday I finally flashed my 7.7 to the ICS provided by the community. Same thing happened with my galaxy nexus. Verizon always waits for me to flash my own ROM before putting out an update. My bad guys next time i won't wait as long
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nocaldawg:
Did an online chat with Verizon Tech Support

Verizon Tech Support advised me to do the following on chat:

It appears that your device is not up to date and there is new software available. We will need to try a new SIM card on your Tab to ensure it's getting the most up to date information. There's no charge for the SIM and this can easily be processed at a store location. Do you know of a store near by?

I am on FD01...will let you know what happens
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kralik:
Estimated delivery for mine is Tuesday. Still trying to figure out which ROM to use... I want GPS and auto-brightness, but don't need data, so I may try to upgrade to "stock" ICS + root + PimpMyROM. On the other hand, my phone has GPS and I really like Paranoid Android, so... hmm...
