This is the case I bought when I was planning on buying extended battery (as I always did,) so I made sure it is stretchable.

However, since I went with "Gold 2450" battery, which is the same size as standard battery, I never had need for this case and it accumulates dust in my basement...

Two very strong magnets hold the cover flap sealed:

(you can see where the hidden round magnets are located by the slightly "sucked-in" areas on the flap)

Easy access to USB port for charging,

also that's how far it stretches (good for extended batteries):

Easy access to headphones port:

and it has very bendable belt clip:

Belt clip is NOT a metal piece covered with leather like most are, but it is made of some sturdy plastic, with added bonus here: it actually imitate the leather look and stitches of the case.

I hate those metal clips covered with leather, because the leather starts to rip apart very soon when you actually use it on belt, and I always made sure to have just plastic clip instead.

Yours for $10 + shipping.

I think I've paid $15 + tax (maybe $19.99, am not sure now, I bought quite few things at that time).

It is brand new.

PM me if interested.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketwiz:
Hi. I'm planning to root my S3 and wanted to double check what I've gleaned from the forums before proceeding as I haven't found a set of comprehensive answers. (I'm on Australian LH1)

I'm rooting my phone purely to use titanium backup and certain root only feature of Tasker so I'll use CF-Root 6.4 which I understand will leave the kernel stock but install supersu, CWM and CWM manager. I won't be installing custom roms or kernels at all. To be on the safe side I'll do a nandroid backup straight after rooting.

My question is: can I then unroot and restore my phone back to full factory stock using

ONLY

the unroot option in supersu? (I prefer not to have to flash a stock rom from non samsung sources if I don't have to.) Also I believe the flash counter isn't tripped in this case so I won't need to reset it?

In unrooting via supersu does this automatically remove the 3 "apps" or do I need to do anything else before and after unrooting? (eg delete CWM beforehand ans supersu afterwards? I noticed some posts where this was a problem).

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
AFAIK unroot option in supersu is temporary and not permanent one... Use triangle away to reset your counter and then You will have to flash your stock firmware via odin.. It will replace the rooted kernel and custom recovery..

You have been zooo==>ted
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorq1H:
Unrooting your S3 won't remove any root-only apps. But they won't be functional, as the can't get superuser permission to access root functionality. But flashing a Stock unrooted ROM that requires a Full Wipe will definitely remove your apps, and you have to rely on a non-root backup app to restore your apps and data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You need to factory-reset your device anyway since the rom will show "modified" and thus your warranty void.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChampMEon:
Could some one please just clarify. Will a factory reset remove root and restore stock recovery? Thus a "clean" device except for binary counter? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No.

The only way to go back to stock is to follow the return to stock guides in the General > Sticky roll-up thread. This is where all the important guides are so as per my signature, please always check there before asking questions.

There are 2 guides as stated. The second one goes into more detail about using triangle away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChampMEon:
Thank you and my apologies. Unfortunately my device doesn't support Triangle Away.

So I'm happy. Thank you

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PlatinumD_101:
Hello,

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 that won't stop rebooting when trying to install win mobile 6.xx. So i decided to get a used one from Ebay with the only information being given is that it was taken from a working HTC Touch Pro 2 and it was a CDMA/GSM. After I installed the Logic Board and tied to power it on from a fully Charged Battery, Nothing Happened. I wanted to know could it be a Compatibility issue.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wizardknight:
It could be. All of the CDMA boards can support GSM(if unlocked properly), but the TP2s sold by GSM carriers in the US have a little different board than the CDMA carriers. For example the GSM versions have FM radio, but the CDMA folks do not. However the screens should be swappable, and if you are getting nothing at all I would take it apart and reseat everything before assuming the worst. It would be helpful if you could provide any other information.

It would be best to match the model type from the donating phone with the receiving phone as there are many versions of the RHOD phones.

Also did you try doing a task 29 on the old phone before you starting buying parts for it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PlatinumD_101:
I was not able to do the task 29. I tried both ways. From the usb and the sd card. it hangs no matter which one.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] arrrghhh:
Did you try this BEFORE mucking with the hardware?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PlatinumD_101:
Yes I did.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] arrrghhh:
Did you match the donor phone to yours? It sounds like the donor phone you purchased could be a different type of RHOD - which could cause serious issues, who knows what...

Short and to the point. Hope this gives you a better idea of the case.

Please hit thanks so I know I'm heading in the right direction to do more reviews!

Bigger pictures available on my blog: http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/

Enjoy!

The cases I am getting to review are just getting better and better. The quality of the Spigen SGP cases are superb. None of the other dry application screen protectors fit. But Spigen SGP came to save us. The Valentinus I review is Vintage Brown. .

The Curved Crystal Screen Protector includes:

Two Steinheil Curved Crystal Screen Protectors, a micro-fiber cloth and a squeegee.

This is the Curve Crystal Screen Protector applied. It was easier than I thought. Just line it up and lay it down. Squeegee like normal.

Cut-outs are accurate. Camera does not show signs of interference.

Room for 3 cards and some bills.

MSRP: $15.99 Curved Crystal

$39.99 - $54.99 Valentinus Wallet Case - Available in 8 different variations.

Denting?

Many people have complained about how easily the Curved Crystal is dented-- what's your experience with that problem?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I think the denting comes from it being thin? That's just an assumption.

Mine went on perfect. I think it's user install error. I've been doing screen protectors for years now on hundreds of phones. Work in wireless. I hate my life... But yeah. Its' fine. There's some weird curvy lines or something. I have no idea what it was. But from having it in my pocket, it worked itself out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Classick206:
Yeah no matter how useful, practical, and convenient it would be... I don't think the macho douchebag inside me will ever let me get that case.

Is there a way to move application to SD card on infinity?

Obviously, my intention here is NOT because I need more space, but I am thinking/hypothesizing improved speed of the system with moving browser or other application to the SD card based on http://www.xda-developers.com/android/potential-io-bottleneck-fix-for-the-transformer-prime/ .

I do have Browser2Ram installed, and feel like its helping but not quite the speed I have seen on Galaxy Note 10.1. Also I there are couple other applications I wonder if moving to SD card would help.

Perhaps this is such an obvious thing and may not even work at all, therefore, noone here talks about... But I simply could not find any active topic regarding to this. So I am checking.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] canufrank:
I just rooted painlessly using Rick#2's method posted here in the Development forum. It took about 5 minutes, including the download (although I preceeded it with about 6 hours of trepidatious reading).

As a noob on xda, I could merely click the thanks button, but wanted to thank him and let others know that my Verizon phone which got pushed ICS around 3 weeks ago was rooted without a problem.

(The last 5 lines of the windows batch file errored out, but they were completely unnecessary anyways. The first 3 try to delete adb and associated .dlls while they are still in use. The next line misnames the file in the current .zip. The last one seems like a vestige as it references no file.)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Hi all.....elsewhere on this forum is a thread concerning high capacity replacement batteries and whether they "really do what's printed on the tin"....so I thought I'd look at this from a different angle......

How can we extend the life of the 'stock' battery?

Does anybody have any tried and tested tips to share?.......

We all know how to do the usual....things like adjusting screen brightness and turning off wifi when it's not needed.......

It's fair to say that the majority of users on this forum will be rooted and/or have custom ROMs installed. Are there any system tweaks that unrooted phones don't allow? Are task killer apps any use at all? Is playing with the CPU speeds beneficial, or potentially more trouble than it's worth?.......

Let's see if we can make this thread a "one stop shop" for anything power saving related.......

I'll start.....though these tips will probably have only a marginal effect at best.....

1) I use Gemini app manager to view all my Installed apps to (1) see which apps are running and (2) freeze the running apps that I don't need.....less CPU usage = more power.....

2) I use LBE privacy guard to view the permissions that my apps require....if they require access to the internet via 3G or WIFI, and I see no reason for it, I'll use LBE to deny the permission.....less data sent and received = more power....

3) going back to Gemini App Manager, I look at the apps I DO need, and configure their "autorun" status. If I don't want/need them to start up at boot, I'll prevent them from doing so....they're still available to me, but they remain inactive until I need them....fewer running processes = more power......

(Lol....just realised I said "more power" 3 times.......

Jeremy Clarkson would be proud)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaithesimpleguy:
Hi everyone,

I need a help with usb issue. I unable to connect to my phone to my pc via USB. At always connect via MTP. Previously, everything was fine until i decided to do as follows:

1. Update PC Companion

2. Update Flashtool 9.0 to 9.3

3. Update Android SDK manager

4. Flash my phone using WT19i_4.1.B.0.587. (previously WT19i_4.1.B.0.431)

5. Flash my phone using custom kernel Panic. (previously Krsh Kernel)

6. Flash my phone using ICS HASA MIUI 2.9.7. (previously ICS HASA MIUI 2.8.31)

After I finish doing all the following, I was totally shocked because I cant connect via USB anymore. Even strange I cant even connect to USB using Krsh or panic kernel after that. The MTP mode also does not look functioning either. I cant put any media files inside it. So I don't really know what mistake I have done.

1. Is it my usb cable damaged? - No, coz I alrady tried other usb. Still the same.

2. or my usb port?

3. or anything that I flash to my phone?

4. or any android usb driver that i install tp my pc?

I think no 4 has the highest possibility. So what I can do from here?
[HTC Rezound] mavpts:
Tried cm9 and miui builds built today. Both seem to work fine with music playback. Both create lots of static for a second or two then loose audio over voice calls with 2 different headsets and pc b/t connections. Calls without b/t work fine and b/t works with ruu. Did full wipe and md5 checksum on both. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
Yes. Bluetooth for calls isn't working right. It isn't working for anyone. Chad was not able to test them because he didn't have any way to do so, but it was working for everything else, so he released it without knowing it was an issue.

Good morning,

this is my first inquiry so please have mercy on me. i am the definition of NOOB. I am a recent android convert (was an Iphone user for 4 years) and i have been blown away by the samsung s3 with Criskelo version 10 JB rom. However, i am now low on internal memory (play a lot of hd games).

i want to ask if the criskelo v10 rom has init.d support because this is needed for the swap external memory to internal memory hack. If someone could shed some light on this or tell me how to check if i have init.d support.

Thank you very much for the time.

Use a root explorer and check in /system/etc/ folder and there would be a folder named Init.d that you could put the scripts in.... some times the folder wont be there even if it is enabled so create a folder init.d in /system/etc and put THIS SCRIPT in there and set its permissions to

Reboot and then check with a file manager the /data/ folder and the would be a log titled test in there after the reboot if init.d was enabled
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dr_Nacho:
I know I've made a few posts about this in the past, but now I've learned a few things since then.

I know the battery isn't the greatest on the infuse (no rom that I'm using atm..) but would like to get the most juice out of my device that I can. I have root access and currently use the apps "battery calibration" and "no-frills CPU control" which I set my cpu at a relatively low frequency to help keep juice.

My phone is drained throughout my day, even without use. I believe it primarily happens because my data (mobile network) consumes it. I know apps such as "juice defender" are great at reducing idle drainage because it shuts off your network connection while in idle to save battery. However, I have used this application in the past and after a few days of use, it shuts off my mobile connection altogether.

My question is, if I were to use this application again and my mobile network were to malfunction, would I be able to change my apn to regain my network connection? In the past I had to reset my phone to regain connection, which isn't really worth using if that's the only solution.

Or are there any other battery saver apps worth using??

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P4rz1v4l:
A bit more information is needed before a specific course of action can be recommended. How much battery life are you using in an average 24 hour period? Also, what version of Juice Defender(beta, free, plus, ultimate) are you using, and what specific settings are you utilizing. It is a very customizable program after all. You might look into Battery Indicator Pro, which estimates your total remaining battery life based on your level of usage. I would also recommend CPU spy, which, if your device is rooted, will show the percentages that your device is running at various CPU levels.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
If you turn off all the locational stuff, turn off 'update my current location' in Navigator, and set your CPU gov to conservative, you might get better battery life. I've not had any lasting luck with any of the battery saving apps. In the end, I decided to buy a couple of Anker batteries from Amazon just in case I have a bad battery day... Also some of the battery saving mods work, but I'm not sure about applying them to ICS and JB ROMS. I haven't tried!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drnecropolis:
Battery life is what you make of it..

Anything running in the background will drain the battery.. email constantly checking for new messages, twitter, Facebook, GPS, WiFi if no connection is found, etc..

Anything that makes the phone process even while the screen is off is going to kill a battery..

What ROM are you using? Some ROMs have better life than others..

How much are you actually using the phone?

What's the brightness set at?

Have you tried changing the processor and slowed it down?

Lots of information that is missing is helpful..
