[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
Does it matter which RUU version I download? (I've been extracting the rom.zips from the RUU's temporary files). I have the most current one on my computer named: "RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3_Radio_2.15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed". I usually take the Rom from that, rename it PC36IMG.zip, place it on a freshly formatted sdcard, and reboot into bootloader and hope for the best.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenonV:
well, if you want the bootloader to be returned to factory stock settings then you can follow the guide below, BUT if you just want to UN ROOT, just copy a stock rom like the one you named, and flash it thru RECOVERY menu (install zip from sd card), dont install it from the bootloader (white screen)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
Sounds easy enough. While messing around and waiting for Dominos to arrive, I decided to flash MikG (first time doing so, so I wasn't sure what to expect). Lo and Behold, I updated the PRL and Data Profile, and her Data works again. She also likes how Sense looks more so than CM7. Aesthetics > Functionality in her book I guess. If it comes down to having to bring the phone to the Sprint store, I'll try flashing the image through Recovery instead of Hboot.

Thanks for the help man, really appreciate it.

I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with dropping devices wearing TPU cases.

I recently got a diztronic one and love the low profile but am a little doubtful it will protect my screen from shattering. I've done some searching and it doesn't seem like there's much info on this subject. Unfortunately most if not all TPU case reviews don't discuss how effective the case is against drops and whatnot, so here I am.

Anyone have any experience with dropping phones with TPU cases? Did it protect your phone? Did the screen still shatter?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jrwingate6:
I would think TPU cases can provide some pretty decent shock protection. The material should cushion the fall and prevent any damage to the display.

Holy mackerel! If you're too lazy to watch the video:

20F freezer test: fine (she mentions it's a little slow, but I can't tell)

190F heat test: perfectly fine

3 drops from about 5 feet: perfectly fine

Key scratch test: very light scratches

Water immersion: 15-second full immersion in a fish tank, 4 days of drying with no battery, perfectly fine!

Wow. What a capable phone...you go, Samsung! :D

Some more detailed testing (WiFi? MicroSD slot? Cell phone reception?) would've been useful, but, at the very least, the screen and digitizer are pretty strong.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisnosleep:
My twelve year old daughter had one on her Epic 4G Touch for the past 6 months. She dropped her phone several times a day and it is still in perfect working condition. All 3 of us just switched to the GS3 and we all have a TPU case now. I guess thats how confident I am in them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
I'm thinking the same. I just wish there were more personal accounts like "my TPU case phone fell almost 12 feet and survived" but there just aren't any.

Thank you for this testimony. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

I did drop mine from about waist height onto a hardwood floor earlier tonight and there was no damage to the phone whatsoever. I'm hoping it would survive higher and harsher drops as well.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Troggie81:
I have a Cruzerlite, and I dropped it in the parking lot at work from between 3-4' high. It landed on the bottom corner (slight asphalt transfer as evidence), bounced a little, and ended up screen-side down. I was terrified as I picked it up to look at the screen. It was fine! Rubbed off the marks on the outside of the case and all was back to normal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ted A:
Asphalt surface is a true, realistic test. Glad Cruzerlite protects it cuz I doubt that Ms. Molly Wood's phone would pass the asphalt drop test naked.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
That and her drops were always on the side. A face-down drop will shatter it.

And that brings me to my next point that our TPU cases can't really protect against: an uneven surface from a face-down fall. The casing does absorb shock to the front a good amount but if it falls face down where there's a rock or something that rises off the ground the case can do nothing to prevent disaster. This probably applies to every case though. Good news is this type of fall may not produce the force required to shatter the screen.

Oh well. I'll still feel safe with this tpu case but not bulletproof.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasondhsd:
What case can protect from a face down shot on an uneven surface? Perhaps one of the ones with a cover but that's assuming its closed when you fumble it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
Right, and I did acknowledge that in my previous post. I think that unless you go to some sort of extreme for protection there are simply some circumstances that you can't do anything about. In short, don't drop your phone!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firetruck41:
I've dropped mine from waist height several times, carpet and wood floors, it was in the Diztronic TPU case, with screen protector... no damage to the phone.

Hi, I'm not able to charge my cappy with the USB cable hooked to the power outlet.. it says my phones charging but when I look at the battery stats it's still the same percentage.. the only way I can charge it is if I hook it up to my PC and enable USB mass storage mode.. does this have anything to do with software or is it something with hardware??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
troubleshooting ideas-

are you saying that it won't charge with usb debug toggle on, but only in usb mass storage mode? if that is the case, it cannot be hardware, imho.

tried a different usb cable, ac ps and outlet just in case?

ideas:

take a look at power supplies shown in sys/class folder- anything odd there?

reset batterystats, which are used to calibrate fuel gauge?

posting more info about your rom and mods might help with getting answers.

Hi all,

Here is my Nexus 7 'Hubs UI Layout'

Idea for this has been taken from the iconia A500 thread (can also find tuts and vids on how to do this) here

Basically each screen has a theme, each screen has a folder of wallpapers it cycles through and at the bottom are buttons that take you to the screen with that name.

Screenshots and vids below:

And heres an example of it on my mobile (lantern corps setup)

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Houseplant:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] wtek:

IV used hub layouts on many devices, it's very productive if set up properly. There's plenty of YouTube videos, took me like 2 hours to do on my transformer can't wait to do it on my n7 when it arrives. I was hoping to be the first but j guess u beat me to it. It's basically a bunch of shortcuts and widgets placed in an xbmc organized fashion.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SoHaunted:
I've used hubs from my a500 days. I don't care for it anymore but I do still use multi picture live wallpaper, it does excellent wallpaper picture resizing over the stock method.

Portrait Mode, NO Tablet UI?

Can this be done in Portrait mode with ADW EX, but NOT using the Tablet UI (160dpi)?

I don't like the tablet UI much...really want my keys centered.

Having a hard time making the status bar disappear with in in normal mode (213dpi), but the status bar goes away just fine in tablet ui (160dpi).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
My setup works with it in portrait. I personally don't like much of landscape either but currently the wallpapers I chose look really nice in landscape lol :victory: I'll upload a video in a sec.

[YOUTUBE]PvRFVV3sFRI[/YOUTUBE]

You can do this with ADW EX, Nova, Apex etc. so that all comes down to what you would like. Your status bar can be disabled depending on your launcher options I believe. I admit it's a little bit of a hassle on Apex considering I don't see an actual option to say "Keep launcher at fullscreen" or "Disable statusbar". Either way, whenever you launch an app that isn't fullscreen anyway it will make the status bar pop up..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] downsay:
I guess what I am looking for is a direct jump to screen without seeing any transition whatsoever. I can't figure a way to do this for anything. Any ideas or luck with this? In your YouTube video you could still see the transitions between screens... These still show even when transition effect is set to none.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Baldyl0cks:
You can use ADW launcher and change screen transition speed to 0 to make it jump straight to page without any animation
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] downsay:
Using ADWLAUNCHER I still have that status bar showing at the top of my tablet when I am in portrait mode. When I try to disable this, it removes the notifications, but does not remove the bar up top.

Any idea on how to remove that on portrait mode without switching to tablet ui?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
Closest thing I know is on Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings ->Minimum Scrolling Time -> 1 (setting this to 0 actually puts an animation). Transitions when pressing the screen buttons should be pretty instant

You might also want to turn off wallpaper scrolling if that's the case. Best I can come up with. sorry
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CooLoserTech:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] junooni:
i'm facing a problem with the transparent bar that's behind all the other text links.

whenever i add a new widget on the screen or whenever for any reason the screen refreshes, the bar (which is a simple text resized) comes OVER the rest of the links, like in layers, and i can't use the other links at all.

i don't know if i'm able to explain it properly but if you look at the video on the 1st page, every page in the setup as the name of the page and links and there's a transparent bar behind them to give accent. that's the bar i'm talking about.

any fix?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] fonseca898:
No one should be installing ADWlauncher EX or Launcherpro on an N7 or any 4.0+ device IMO. Neither launcher has been updated since last year, and while they were great on GB, Apex or Nova are both superior launchers that are updated regularly and have all the features you need. Although you may have to pay for said features, depending on which you choose. I own all four, and I hope Nova and Apex don't become abandonware like ADW and LP.

Or rather, XMBC is organized in a hub fashion. :good:

Edit: aaaand the setting was in multipicture live wallpaper. All good!!

This looks amazing -- spent the morning setting up my Nexus 7 in the same way. Question: Why can't I get the cube rotation style to work as it does in your vid? Backgrounds don't rotate on the cube, I just see the blue outline of a cube -- the desktop images slide flatly left and right. You mentioned a graphical bug in the vid but I couldn't quite make it out....is this that bug? And what's the workaround?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyberpac9:
I'm bored and looking to do a Hubs layout on my N7. :D

I use Nova prime and would prefer not to switch. I'm also trying to get Simple Text to work properly. So, I have a couple questions as I've started looking at this.

1) I followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1232359 but it uses a different launcher, where you can use "catalogs". Nova doesn't have this feature. Wondering if I create a folder with all my apps in it, "hide" it with a blank icon (per the vid), would it show up like the catalog does in the tut? Has anyone used Nova prime for Hubs?

2) I like the idea of using word instead of icons, like in the first post. When I use Simple Text, my word icons are pretty small, no matter the size of the text I select. If I use a large font, it squeezes it to fit into the smaller space (if that makes sense). I'm guessing it's squeezing it to 64x64. I have changed my DPI, wondering if that is my issue (why it looks so small).

Any tips?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dancole42:
For shortcuts that open up a folder, how do you get that folder to appear below the black bar? I'm doing something similar, but mine appears right on top of it. See attached.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] avetny:
Hi Guys !

After numerous questions asked in threads which one is better Ultra NANO Optics or Ultra NANO Clear, I decided to make a comparative review.

I will help you to understand which product is Best For You.

So lets roll it! ;)

In the package you will find:

- 2 screen protectors.

- cloth (to clear the screen)

- 4 stickers, for dust removal . (it helps sometimes)

- plastic scoop (to align the surface)

- serial number (to verify the authenticity of the product)

- spam (as usual:D)

Installation is as easy as it can get. exactly what i expected !;)

Of course, the quality of the cut is impeccable.

Guys,

very easy

to remove any bubbles. (actually, bubbles are completely absent). It is very important.

Ultra NANO Optics effectively prevents smudges and fingerprints for the best clarity .

During the testing few days ago as a the temperature in New York reached 107°F (is equal to 41.67°C) i noticed that due to terrible humidity my friend's Ultra NANO Clear protector was practically unusable in that weather.

While with Ultra NANO Optics I had absolutely no problems of that nature and enjoyed making few funny comments about my friend's choice!;)

With the good surface hardness 2H this film becomes not only a tool of protection, but also extremely improves your work with the phone's screen. Finger movements become very smooth. In any weather with any humidity.

Oh! before i completely forgot! let me tell you, Guys!

Anti-Finger print feature

- is a complete bull****. :angel:

It leaves fingerprints. But at the minimum level.

And of course it is not comparable with the Ultra NANO Clear.

Both of them have Anti-UV ray coated feature.

Both got 50 micron thickness.

Strong adhesive for the curved area of the screen.

Marks and fingerprints wipe away easily.

So if you are asking why my first impressions have been confused then

it's easy guys to explain. My phone lost all the sexy reflections. Which I loved in Ultra NANO Clear (left-Nano OPTIC / right-Nano Clear)

It's because that the film has a matte coating.

another question pops immediately: "what about screen colors? Does it spoil the picture quality of the screen?

NO !

-Zero interference with touchscreen responsiveness.

-Colors are also perfect.

but the geatest interest of mine was directed towards the test for scratches:D

I was surprised. It's SO hard to scratch the screen ! Hey it was easy on the Ultra NANO Clear !

As usual SGP protection in the first place !

... the rain began, yet, again.... And I ran back home to write a conclusion.

SGP Ultra NANO Optics screen protector cost - $15.99

While the Ultra NANO Clear screen protector cost- $13.99

The price difference is just $2.

Guys! I definitely recommend it. But the choice is yours.

-Beauty vs Extremely Usability.

Best Regards.

Beware of fake products. Order from official site

BTW like always nice review man.

Awesome review man, had trouble deciding myself. Actually I still do, but nice to see this here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I installed my Nano Optics this morning.

It makes a squeaking sound when you slide your finger across it.

Also feels like super smooth sandpaper.

No rubbery feeling at all though, your finger actually slides around better than on the stock screen.

Screen touch sensitivity is excellent.

It looks kind of bad in direct sunlight. Shows off all the smudges.

And you can see what looks like (but isn't of course) "scan lines" when viewing in direct sunlight.

You do lose the glossy look as mentioned in the review above. Phone isn't as shiny looking anymore. Kind of dull/plain looking now (screen anyway).

I've only had it on a day so I'm not prepared to say if I love it or not.
