[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
I'd normally jump right on the Otterbox Commuter but it's slippery and I hate the lint collecting rubber they are using.

What do you guys think of the PureGear DualTek?

http://www.amazon.com/RAZR-MAXX-Pur...1346850574&sr=8-2&keywords=razr+maxx+puregear
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turdle1313:
I prefer the DualTek case as its not nearly as slick as the Commuter. I have both cases and the Commuter just sits in my desk drawer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
How easy are the buttons to press on either case? Does the PureGear have good fitment and easy button press?

I tried the commuter on the atrix hd I had and it was really slippery.

What color is wearing better, black or white?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] itsdubai:
I have the Otterbox Commuter and I find the power and volume buttons easy enough to press. I personally do not find the device slick at all. I have dropped it numerous time and the case has held up very well. It still looks new. I would highly recommend!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
I corrected the first post to the correct case (For the MAXX). I wonder which case shows wear the least...white or black.

:p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
Since you have both, which case is slimmer? Also, which case slide in and out of your pocket easier? Do you find that the pure gear has more tendency to pop out with a frontal drop?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turdle1313:
To me it seems the commuter is slimmer, and I find the DualTek easier to get out of my posket. I have not dropped the phone yet. Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] itsdubai:
The only problems I find with the commuter are the top gel inserts that cover the mhdmi and charger port. It is kind of hard to get off sometimes but that is a minor quibble. The only other problem is taking the case off and putting it back on. It's a pita!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
I got the PureGear DualTek. I accidentally bought screen protectors for a RAZR and it looks like the RAZR MAXX has a different shaped protector. Does it matter?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] itsdubai:
I believe they have the exact same screen size and everything. The screen protectors should not be a problem at all:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dreamliner330:
Thats what I thought, then I saw that all the eBay screen protectors are shaped differently for each and nobody has theirs as RAZR/RAZR MAXX compatible, its one or the other...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] parth212:
Hows the Dualtek case?

Hey i just ordered the Dualtek case and I wanted to know hows the case holding up so far? Was it worth it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevintstephens:
I've had my Puregear Dualtek case for almost 2 months now. I love it! I have dropped my phone several times on hard cement and it just left a few nicks on the case and nothing on the phone itself. I've never had a problem with it falling out of the case on a drop. I do find that the phone is slightly harder to hold/use one handed with the Dualtek case, but I do have smallish hands.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonebone2:
Does anyone know of any online retailers who reliably sell the real deal for the E4GT, not knock-offs that die in a month?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nubsors:
I cannot answer your question except to say that Amazon has several sellers. But I will tell you this, QCell sells a 1950 mAh slim battery that I have been using for over a month and is currently rated at 2144 mAh. It definitely lasts longer than the OEM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] primo523:
Before you buy a new battery, go to the Sprint store and see if your current battery is covered under warranty. I've had my epic touch for 15 months and my battery started to cut out on me. I went to sprint and they looked up my warranty on my battery and gave me a new battery for free. Never hurts to ask
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Maybe you meant 5 months? Lol because

A.) Our warranty on the battery is 12 months

and

B.) The phone isn't that old yet lol

But yes, we cover batteries for a year. Little known fact, but batteries are not covered under TEP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
eBay. Just look for ones that state it as new, OEM, and list the model number. You can get them for as little as $12 with free shipping. Buy one or two and ALSO trade yours in at the Sprint store, then you'll have spares.

Mine's expanded recently, so was in need of replacement. It was easier for me to buy on eBay than find time to get into a store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonebone2:
I've had bad luck with ebay in the past. I ordered a battery for my wife's E4G and got one date stamped 2010. It held even less of a charge than the old battery she was replacing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Ya, its a steal. You can get them on sale sometimes on the site but he asked for the real deal and a reliably site so this is about as good as you can get. I recommend amazon.

Go to a Batteries Plus store and you can get the OEM battery and external charger for $40. Can't beat it...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bigsmooth843:
Hello my xda brothers. I just recently watched a hands on preview for the galaxy note 2 and saw a pretty cool feature; Screen recorder! The feature lets you record audio and video of whatever screen your on and then send it as a MMS! The S3 doesnt have that feature to my knowledge and I know it MAY be apps that allow it to be possible, but I was wondering if there may be someway to create it and mod it to be a feature within a rom? I'm no developer by any means, so excuse my "Noob-nish"

Video link for better idea of what im talking about. Jump to 06:27 in video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DcgZum8M1o
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It certainly should be possible! Ill have to look at that when I get home! Thanks for the heads up. I saw something similar but it only took many stills and tried to make it easy to put them together for a video screenshot of sorts. Not worth the effort to me.

Though I doubt I'd be sble yo make it work, Id love to try. And there are some absolute geniuses here so im sure itll happen at some point anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
Ask a dev in the galaxy note 2 forum to pull it if possoble
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bigsmooth843:
Thank you!! I thought that feature was so cool. The note 2 and S3 will be pretty much distant cousins, so even if It's not possible yet, Im pretty sure some one will cook something up once the device is released in October. If you come up with something, PM me. I will test if needed!!

[Vibrant General] ioancr:
First of all, I'm just an user. I like to experiment with my Vibrant, that's all.

Credits go to DerTeufel1980 whose ROM saved my phone from EU bug (HB 813); on HB 813 I've discovered the strange GPS behaviour;

to Krarvind from whose Slim Bean 2.2 ROM I've pulled the two GPS lib files (libandroid_servers.so and libclientgps.so) that do the trick;

and to mnazim who pointed out the importance of the libandroid_servers.so file for GPS.

Below is a "normal" GPS fix test (AngryGPS on HB 813); my phone is hardware GPS fixed. Everything is stock (didn't use gps fix files). Outdoors:

"Normal" fix

Next is a fix after I replaced the two files in the System\lib folder:

"Strange" fix

As you can see, there are no asterisks (birds) next to a sattelite lock. Yet position is accurate (and Navigation).

The same and more colourful in GPS Test app:

The bars are all grey and there is no "in use" sattelite.

More detailed information gives the GPS Test app by Mike Lockwood:

As you can see, in "Flags" column there are some letters, which in "normal" fixes are different (see below): usually it's only a "U" letter which corresponds to an asterisk in AngryGPS:

"Normal" fix

There's also a new value in SNR column, not a number like "normally".

Generally, there's an increase in speed and stability of the fix. But it could be just placebo. :)

If someone would like to test themselves, just pull the two files from the Slim Bean 2.2 ROM and replace the stock ones and set permissions, and reboot.

Thank you for your replies.
[Vibrant General] Exel:
Please note before anyone tries:

This may not swap GPS libraries from another device, but it it swapping GPS files.

Whatever you do, it's on you.
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
ok. after 3 days of use, I can say this strange GPS will only be seen on HB 813 build. i've tried with the newest and no go. this build is THE build for GPS. working just fine. BTW, replacing only the libclientgps.so file from Slim Bean 2.2 will still give excellent GPS, but as normal as it could be. I could see 13 satellites and locking after DS was always snappy. However, still keep the strange fix, it's so informative and maybe suggestive for improvements on our devices.

PS. Always keep the original lib files before doing the changes. Better rename them adding the extension "old", since it will keep old permissions too (in case you need them back).
[Vibrant General] Shiv4m:
This garbage is never going to work and stop trying. The only fix is the hardware fix which you need to take your phone apart for. Stop with the BS to gain 'rep' by creating these threads.
[Vibrant General] Exel:
A little harsh there bud.

There has to be a reason GPS works on Froyo for a decent amount people even without the hardware fix.

GPS isn't completely broken.

Now by this I'm not saying/demanding it should work on Gingerbread, ICS, JB, but there could still be a possible fix. We just have to keep looking.

OP is simply trying to give people more options and/or choices. No need to bash on him.
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
I disagree here. I've done the hardware fix (no solder method) and I know very well my phone, the GPS performes very well on some ROMs/kernels while on others will not even initialize. The differences could be even more subtile: for instance, on ICS I always got a better accuracy with Devil kernels than with Subzero, generally on AOKP ROMs better than on AOSP. With JB I have corrupt GPS with the files that fixed it on ICS, and that was a surprize. These are just my observations on my phone. As are those in the thread.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
Where did you pull libandroid_servers.so from? In stock grepping that file for gps returns nothing. Are you sure you don't mean libandroid_runtime.so?
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
From the Slim Bean 2.2 ROM.

As I noticed later, it works only on Helly Bean 813 build. Yes, I mean libandroid_servers.so. You can check by MD5 sums: 195603775cd3226b72d79b67e902c220

UPDATE: I'm not sure if that matters, but I am also using the MP' revert ril files (original Galaxy S ril files) and JI6 modem.
[Vibrant General] FaultException:
More importantly... you have a satellite with 1.5E-44 dBHz!? :eek:

Or in other words:

1.5 / 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dBHz
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
Yeah :cyclops:

Curiously enough, it is always the SAME one (PRN 20). Another thing I noticed is there is never more than 3-4 satellites, the strange thing is that they continue changing PRNs while the list stays the same, no more than 3-4 on every fix.

I would say something is broken, but the fact is POSITION IS ACCURATE.

For the first time I saw a letter different from the "normal" "U" in GPS Test by Mike Lockwood was on a Galaxy S II phone, it was "EU". This is why I guess our GPS on Vibrant can do MORE. Hopefully.

[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Yeah I don't know if anyone running a jb ROM should try this or not. The one thing I did notice is, you said to change the supl to Sony Ericson and port number. I know the GPS chip in vibes is a Sony Ericson. Have you tried just using those settings but not modifying the build.prop? And have you tried this with a jb ROM, if so which?

I tried the fix in op, got 1 sat in view almost immediately (15secs) but that's it, no more SATs, no lock. That's actually the first time I saw any SATs on jb.

sent from the depths of helly bean
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
Are you on HB 813? If not, I'm affraid the "fix" will be to no avail. Actually I don't know if it's really a fix anymore, since it won't work on other ROMs and does something strange to the GPS of a ROM were it worked anyway. :(
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
Good news! Insane GPS is back, now reproducible on various ROMs. From the aforementioned Slim 2.2 the culprit is "gps.aries.so" file (attached). Before you try, make sure to make a Nandroid backup. Replace the existing file at system/lib/hw or system/vendor/lib/hw, set permissions to 644 and reboot.

Note: the zip is NOT flashable.

Certain Touchwiz apps (including camera) won't work on AOSP or AOKP or any non touchwiz ROM. It doesn't have the proprietary framework I believe
[General Questions and Answers] firesoul453:
Would you know any way to pinpoint what files it depends on?

It would require a touchwiz ROM, framework of AOSP and touchwiz/sense/motowhatever cannot coexist

She's using a Samsung Galaxy mini 2 (GT-S6500) and I successfully rooted it and tried to flash another firmware.

But then, it failed so I decided to unroot it but, as soon as I get to recovery mode (CWM recovery v5.0.2.8), there I go stuck.

Been trying to find a solution for almost 7 hours straight now but I can't find one. Tried exit recovery files too but didn't work out. It's just turning me back to the recovery mode and it's so annoying. I'm stuck in cwm recovery v5.0.2.8 and can't get on download mode. What should i do? Need an expert.

[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
Hey well after a few months of just lurking, trying different things, having small successes but more big headaches, I've decided it's time to go.

I may have a buyer for my phone, but they want to make sure it is WIND stock and have suggested that we do the transaction at a WIND kiosk so that employee can confirm that the phone is ok

Here's what I'm running:

Motorola XT720

Android version 2.2.1

Baseband version 3gsmepu91a_u_91.09.00i

Kernel version 2.6.29-omap1a24124@zin22lnx05 #1

Mod version CyanogenMod-6.3.6.1-MilestoneXT720-KANG

Build number R.U.R.1920

My biggest problem is I can't remember what all I've done to it. I think I at some point applied a bootfix or maybe even a different sbf?

Can anyone tell me if I've done that, looking at the above details?

And, if I did a nandroid immediately when I first got the thing, would restoring that nandroid and then unrooting the phone do the trick...even if I did flash a different sbf at some point?

Any help as always greatly appreciated I might go with the new RAZR V that Wind is pushing, I just don't have the time to fiddle with this phone anymore.

If anyone here would want it as currently modded (and with the original nandroid if desired), I would consider that too. It is in PRISTINE shape as it has been constantly housed in an Otterbox (will include), always with a screen protector not a single scratch and the chrome on the sides still even looks great. All the port covers are still on the phone and the headphone jack and HDMI jacks have never been used. Battery life is as good as the day it was bought as I always go Full Charge, Full Drain, Full Charge etc never plug in unless down to 5%/Red and I don't plug it into my car or laptop always with the OEM adapter into a surge protected bar. (yes, I'm a bit fussy lol)

Thanks for any comments suggestions...or offers above $110 for the phone! ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
Wait..maybe I updated the baseband..which is different from the actual ROM so restoring a nandroid backup won't fix that, will it? argh, I don't remember!
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I believe Mioze's Open Recovery MOD has all the stock basebands.
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
Oh yeah! I have that installed, too! :victory:

Wonder if anyone has tried the WIND one...I only question because someone had requested WIND sbfs up till recently (Jul 2012 maybe) so why would they do that if this was already available...dumb question, huh? lol

Ok...so..

OR-Change Basebands-Apply WIND baseband

Nandroid restore my initial stock WIND sbf

Remove OR

Uninstall SuperUser

Unroot

That should do the trick, right?

Hello alls!

I am currently running the Stock w/Goodies 1.78 and it is just smooth as smooth can be. I'm really anxious to try the cm10 or the AOSP/AOKP but am hesitant because I use this phone for work and I don't have a ton of downtime where I can play with the roms like I can on my personal TBolt. Which current JB leaked ROM has been the best in your experience, and is it worth the switch (in terms of smoothness and things actually working)? I appreciate your time!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Gotta say CM10 really is a great, even with the few problems I had on the first nightlies. I flashed the most recent today and for the first time since I bought my LTE it is cool to the touch and the phantom battery drain that carried over for a few nightlies is gone. The only gripe I've had is the gps and this is really just knit-picking but on stock sense I had a lock with in 3 meters nearly every time and on cm10 its 8 but like I said, nit-picking. Dead Trigger runs reasonably well with modified xml to enable the so called Tegra 3 exclusives. Theres a pretty anoying graphical glitch that is persistent in the game but if you go to developer options and turn off hardware overlay it goes away at the slight expense of performance but its negligible lag, all in all my favorite rom so far
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pogibry:
Sounds pretty convincing. No words from the AOSP/AOKP usrs?

Deck's CM10 is awesome and very smooth. For me it was a daily driver for a week up to 8/29 build with ZERO crashes, but I had problems with data connection switching between wi-fi, 3g and 4g, voice always worked. It took up to 30 minutes or a reboot to get the data connection back again with voice always working. I can't wait to flash the 9/4 release and see if that problem has been fixed as I was getting 17+ hours with 4-5 hours of screen on and lots of calls.
