Looks to me like it's a system or data file that has ended up on your screen as a shortcut.

It shoudn't be there and it's not an app you can launch so when you click on it TW gets confused as it doesn't know what to do with it.

Just remove the shortcut from your screen, it's nothing to worry about and deleting the shortcut wont remove the file :)

update: Have you installed a Samsung Olympics app from the play store lately? If so it is a data file from that app.

Delete the shortcut like I said and you'll be fine. If you're experiences issues delete the Olympics app and re-install :)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
Here's the case:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S9ZSGW/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00

It has all of the correct cutouts. I also like that the speaker cutout is open, as opposed to a bunch of holes like I've seen in other cases. It does add some bulk due to the fact that it can rotate 360 degrees, but it not enough that I can't slip it in my rear pant pockets. It has a loop for the stylus, as well as the magnet wake/lock. It also doesn't have the flaw that other cases have where it locks the tablet when you fold the cover back against itself. I like the white stitching and the fact that it doesn't cover the bezel, which is a deal breaker for me, since covered bezels tend to hinder you when navigating the UI. It also has deep grooves so that it doesn't slip when you have it propped open. Also, when in Portrait mode, you can only use it on the last groove. Any of the other 2 grooves can't support it. When it is on the last groove, I can use it without feeling like it's going to fall back, so it's supported very well in that aspect.

This is the same case that I have for my Blackberry Playbook, and on that back of the Playbook, it has the Blackberry Logo, which you can see through that open hole in the back so it looks nice. On the Nexus, there's no logo or anything on the back that shows through the hole, so I wish that it was covered for the Nexus version. Another small gripe would be the location of the Stylus loop.....if you have the case open and you have a stylus in it, the tab will be at a slight angle. I tested it and it doesn't take away from the sturdiness of it, just a small observation.

All in all, I'm happy with it so far. The seller refunded me the money since I was supposed to receive it last week and it got lost misplaced somewhere in shipping and ended up getting routed to Cali first before coming here, so I give him props for great customer service.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Nice review! The case looks better than I had imagined.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] regalpimpin:
I got the same case delivered on Saturday. Works well. Feel a lot safer carrying it around to and from work now.

I may get the slim fit version as well at some point so it isn't quite as thick, but it does feel solid in this thing.

I notice you have a skin on the back of your nexus. Does it get in the way with the case at all, and if you pull the tab out of the case, has it mangled the skin at all on any pressure points?

I have a skin as well but am reluctant to put it on for this reason, and being that the back is rubberized i dont feel like it really needs it in the first place.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] LovelyLush:
Thanks for the review. Really wish they had more color choices! I want a case that sits portrait (I read a lot) & landscape (Netflix). I already have a case for now, but I'm looking to replace it with one that does everything I want... like this one! I'll wait it out a bit & see if they come out with more colors.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
Yes, I have an XtremeGuard body protector on it and it doesn't get in the way. I've taken it out of the case a few times and the protector's not bunching up. The protector's been on the Nex7 for over a week, so it's cured pretty well. I wouldn't try it on a fresh protector install. I'd give it about a week so that it sets right before putting it in a case like this.

Picture #3, how did you get traffic webcam as widget? Seems useful.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
Ah, that's not a traffic cam widget....that my News360 App widget and the headline was for an overturned truck on a highway near my house lol
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
I'm OK with the black case.....never been a fan of colorful cases. If I had to pick 1 other color, it would probably be like a dark blue.....nothing girly LOL
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MontyQ:
Nce review ty, I like the case seems decent for protection...even tho a tad thick. I think I well get this one even so based on the review plus I like the look.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] superman.namrepus:
Nice right up. Off subject what ROM are you running?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
Modaco JR6 with the Motley Kernel....runs like gangbusters!! :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Metalor696:
Haha, that was going to be my question :P
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Prey521:
I have switched in the last few weeks to the Paranoid Android ROM with the Trinity Kernel. It runs great.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jman123123:
Thought about this case as well, but went with the official travel case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] airphoto:
Bought this case because of your review. It's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nm8:
I have a similar one bought off ebay. I'm happy with it. The only downside of that case is the circular bit at the back where it rotates.It can potentially scratch the back of the Nexus 7 so I have put a clear protective plastic on the back of the N7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shad0wguy:
The amount of data usage reported on my phone vs what is reported on t-mobile's site differs greatly. While my phone currently shows around 230MB used t-mobile is reporting 690MB. How is it possible these values are so different? Has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewNY:
Mine are always pretty close. Are you sure that you've set the billing cycle correctly in the Data Usage settings, and that you've been running the same ROM for the entire billing cycle?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Mine are accurate to the megabyte within each other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shad0wguy:
Oh, right, I did have to reset my phone when I rooted it. I'll have to wait til next month to get an accurate comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
I used an Incipio Feather for about a month, and over that time my phone became pitted and nicked (quite deep) on the back, and even left a rectangular imprint on my battery cover. The damage was caused by the case, and nothing else. I've not dropped my phone or anything, and treated it like my child. I emailed Incipio and told them this, and attached the same pictures I've attached here. They emailed me back...

Here is the email:

"Thank you for contacting us. We are very sorry to hear about your Galaxy Nexus damage. Unfortunately, our warranty does not cover any damage to the device itself and only covers damage to the Incipio product. If you would like, we’d be happy to send you an alternate style for the Galaxy Nexus, such as our NGP or SILICRYLIC, which gives slightly more protection to the device.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed."

Now I fully understand, and would even agree with them had the damage been caused by inadequate protection from the case (like me dropping it and it landing on an uncovered part of the phone). But the fact is, the damage to my phone was caused simply by using the case. It was not my fault, but the fault of an apparently faulty product.

Is there anything I can do?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Probably not because its not their responsibility to cover the phone as well and there's no guarantee that you didn't damage the phone yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Looks like some dirt or sand got caught between the case and the phone. You are unlikely to get any satisfaction from incipio, so take the offer of a different case and sell it or something. You can get a new housing for the phone relatively cheap. Not sure if the Sprint one is available yet, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
Actually I was worried that would happen, so I removed the case daily to clean it. There definitely was never dirt under there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DiNoise:
Seriously, just accept their offer, that's all u can get from them.

Also, I'm using the same case and never had any problems, sometimes dust gets underneath but that doesn't cause any scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Maybe not at the time of you cleaning but it looks like some made its way in there at some time.
[Motorola Droid X2] catawalks:
Thank christ, now hopefully some of those older 2.3.4 based roms can be updated. I've been wondering why this has taken so long, glad it's finally out.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
They won't be upgraded to this kernel. All the cm based roms are going to stay at 2.3.4 as dzk has said he isn't going to update. And there is only one other currently new ROM and it's already at 2.3.5. Liberty and molten are no longer being developed so they aren't going anywhere.
[Motorola Droid X2] catawalks:
Well then, at least it will make installing Eclipse easier. No more SBF to 2.3.4, root, temp unroot, update, reroot. Now it should just be SBF 2.3.5, root. yay!
[Motorola Droid X2] jimenez:
thanks for the guide!
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Made a video of me doing this if you want to add it to op.

[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
great, will do that
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
I've been working on this for 2 days.

I SBF to 2.3.5, then use various methods listed to root it and flash Eclipse. However I lose root, and can't root again. When I try to root Eclipse, root can't be acquired, and no files can be pushed to /system/bin. One more try tonight, then I give up. I'm out of ideas. Can't update and carry root from 2.3.4 with RootKeeper since I don't have service.
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Use the stock recovery and flash the update from there. Don't need to get the ota. And use root keeper. The update can be found in the link on the op. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
haven't seen this problem, but

you could try removing root files, that are no longer needed

with terminal emulator or adb shell

su

rm /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5

rm /system/preinstall/md5/magic.md5

rm /system/preinstall/app/magic
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
Nope. I can't update from recovery either. My phone is a bit off, I have a wholethread about it.

Nope, doesn't help. I'm going through the process manually using adb right now, at it seems to me that after flashing Eclipse the root.img I'm using isn't valid with Eclipse on 2.3.5. Specifically, here's what I'm doing and here's what's happening...

adb shell ln -s /data/local.prop /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5 (no error)

adb reboot-bootloader (no error)

moto-fastboot flash preinstall root.img (sending 'reinstall'... okay, whiting 'preinstall'... okay)

moto-fastboot reboot (no error)

adb reboot (no error)

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system (mount: Operation not permitted)

So, I think the root image doesn't work with something, though I'm still noobish with it all. Maybe I'll try some different ones...
[Motorola Droid X2] bhigham:
The batch file already attempts to remove those files, right before rebooting into recovery to have the cache wiped. So unless something failed in the batch file, those files should already be deleted.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I have a thought on something that might work, but it will require a bit of work on your part. One of the steps in rooting batch file, is putting the local.prop file back to normal, which no longer gives adb root access.

If you are indeed able to root stock 2.3.5, then here is what I would suggest trying, (but I don't know if the local.prop file will get overwritten by flashing eclipse)

SBF to stock 2.3.5

Root stock 2.3.5 using any method that will work for you.

Install ES File manager

enable root permissions (up to root, root explorer, and possibly mount file system)

go to /data and open up local.prop (ES Note editor works well)

In the allow all adb line, change the 0 to 1, and save the file.

Reboot, and make sure that file still has 1 for allow all adb.

if so, try flashing eclipse, and see if adb shell has root access. If so, then you can push the necessary files to get root.

Don't know if this will work or not, as I am not sure of where the local.prop file actually comes from, so it might get regenerated. But, if you want to try it, you are welcome to.

I checked to see if local.prop would survive an sbf, and it does not, but I am not sure about with a custom rom.

Very good idea, I'll try it tonight.

Problems getting it to work

Friends, Thanks for taking the time to post these instructions, I love these forums!

I have a question, I have tries to do this twice using the "Root DX2 2.3.5 batch file in self extracting exe"

But have had no luck, as I am still stock (2.3.5. & 1.3.418 MB870)

It fails to push SU to the phone, and give the errors mentioned in the instructions, but root checker tells me I'm still not rooted.

I feel like I have taken my time, and read through the instructions as I went along, but I guess I'm missing something somewhere.

I (we all) have waited a long time for a root method for the DX2, now it looks like we may have one, but I can't get it to work.

I would be thankful for any advice or help given.

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
wipe cache, before trying again

be sure to let phone finish booting, before pressing continue

after flashing files in fastoot, phone needs to reboot twice

before pushing su

may want to try slitaz boot img
[Motorola Droid X2] exgi:
---> Thank you SD_Shadow!

Thanks my friend, SU granted!

Finally!

Thanks again!

.....Happy camper! :o
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
great, did you use the slitaz boot image,

or was it not rebooting the 2 times after flashing
[Motorola Droid X2] exgi:
It was hanging on the 2nd reboot.

I just let it sit there this time, and it eventually cycled through to completion.

Now I guess I'm going to either nandroid, or buy Titainium Backup (full),

I want to start learning how to flash roms, while keeping my phone safe and secure.

Thanks again for your advice!

PS~Can you offer a short list of essential root tools/apps? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
titanium, is a must

if you are going to flashing different roms

sms backup +

is good for backing up call log and texts

and a home launcher

like go launcher, launcher pro, or adw launcher there are more

great for restoring apps and widgets icons after flashing a new rom

remember to backup launcher before

try nova launcher, on ics roms

edit: also will want a file manager or root browser with rw (read/write)

lots of them out there, needed to move system file and change permissions

Thanks for this. Was very easy. I probably took the long way there but I wanted to try eclipse on my unactivated droid x2....sbf'd to 2.3.4, updated to 2.3.5, rooted using this method and installed eclipse. Trying to get my wife to go for this on her activated dx2 since it's somewhat similar to stock.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
added Poll, Which Root Method do you use?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Self extracting batch method. Will update poll when I'm on a pc.
[Motorola Droid X2] bhigham:
Looking at the download page, looks like the self extracting method is the preferred.

It has been downloaded 1250 times,

the batch file which would cover both manual and batch, around 280

The Slitaz CD has been downloaded over 1500 times, but also covers 3 other devices.

Is there a HSPL for the AT&T Titan yet? Goldcard didn't work :( Trying to flash stock rom worked, but didn't downgrade SPL :( So, I diffinetly need HSPL for a branded AT&T Titan. Thanks:)
[HTC Titan] malvo26:
Take a look over here at xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744253. You'll have some reading to do.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
If you tried the SPL / HSPL on your AT&T Titan first (before debranding) then you are stuck without a fix (as of yet).

I was in the same boat and my Titan had a memory issue and caller's sound quality was horrible, so I got a warranty exchange from AT&T. When my new one arrived, I de-branded it first with the EUR ROM, then flashed SPL / HSPL and now I absolutely LOVE my Titan (prior, I HATED it). Now (after 6 replacements & no AT&T locks) I have a custom ROM and everything is unlocked and no caller sound quality / memory problems.
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
Sucks for me then...

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to wait til developers come up with something for AT&T Titan. I wised the instructions included info for SPL/HSPL on AT&T Titan, Oh well.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Well they didn't know it was going to he different. In all my HtC devices, this is the first that has been different and the most complicated I must say.
[HTC Titan] pbp8ntballer:
Hello, if you actually checked the bottom of the guide I've written for this, it provides instructions on how to apply HSPL for your Titan, assuming you did all the correct steps on debranding it first ;)
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
I know exactly where he is stuck because he is using USA AT&T Titan. The HSPL instructions doesn't warn USA AT&T Titans owners of the issue (AND IT SHOULD). So, if you following the procedure that every custom ROM points to exactly (like I did and a lot of other people did) you will be stuck on 2.5 SPL with no way out.

I haven't seen a warning to USA AT&T Titans anywhere that should say to de-brand your Titan first before attempting the HSPL or you'll be stuck.

Your outline will not help this person where he is stuck. Cotulla is working on it (I do believe).
[HTC Titan] malvo26:
There are a few warnings on the developer forum that AT&T branded phones must first be debranded before the phone can flashed with other roms
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
Ok, if you say so.

by getting my AT&T Titian stuck at SPL 2.5

does this mean my phone is locked from any future customization?

that would really suck
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Not totally. You can still update the OS thru cab loader method to Tango and I assume soon after the 7.8 is released you'll be able to do the same. The only thing is you are stuck with crappy stock AT&T ROM. I say crappy because I absolutely hated my phone until I got custom ROM on it. Can you do a warranty exchange with AT&T?
[HTC Titan] JasonHood:
Easy to follow thread for hspl

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684912

If you have the image (or .nbh file) and you dont have it names ETERIMG.nbh it will not flash

here's why, The HTC OEM's names the device eternity. For the USB mode to be able to recognice the correct rom to flash it has to fit the model of phone you have. ETER is the first 4 letters to its OEM name. Add IMG and you got yourself the correct name for flashing roms to your device.
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
I'm not sure if I have a warranty... I don't think I purchased it. Trying to understand, there's no fix to my situation as of right NOW... But somehow, can developers come up with a fix you think? Or, no matter what, I'm stuck with the stocked ATT Rom?
