[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
yeah I have gotten some that were so cheap I would not even put my phone in them. scary crap out their :)

I don't like the silicon first cases like the otter box since if anything gets INSIDE the case it will grind away the finish on the phone. this is less likely with hard first.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falcons2:
From what I've heard the dba ultra case is supposed to be pretty rugged
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
well I could not wait. too paranoid so I paid the anal rape price for a case at a store. I refused to pay $20 for a $3 TPU case so I got a nicer case. a SPECK case in green and grey (better than black or white)

Uploading some pictures now

the design of this case is interesting. its almost as slim as a TPU case but it silicon and polycarbonate like a rugged case. I guess I would call it a "slim rugged"

its "one piece" so the two parts are bonded together. cutouts are perfect. the buttons are super tactile and responsive. LOVE the buttons.

would have preferred a brighter color like blue or orange but its better than black or white that is for sure !

I am actually quite impressed with the case. it FEELS wonderful fits tight does not appear as if it will become lose over time thanks to the polycarbonate shell.

if I you are looking for slim instead of full on armor I would definitely consider this case. very well made looks nice and feels nice adding surprisingly little bulk to the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Here are maybe a couple others to consider-

http://www.tech21.uk.com/#

The most rugged tech21 case actually includes their less expensive case inside another shell, it looks like a reverse defender.

The other one I actually just bought but haven't gotten it yet-

http://www.dbacases.com/complete-ultra.aspx

The complete ultra is like the candy shell/hybrids but has a tpu inner instead of a silicone inner, I don't know about protection levels but it definitely looks better than the other hybrid types, maybe a "semi-rugged"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkatronic:
I'm wondering if I'm not alone in this: I have a rooted Evo 4G LTE running Jelly Bean/Paranoid Android 2.13. I'm running into an issue with running audio apps like Google Play Music and Doggcatcher. Basically sometimes if I'm playing something and I switch to another app, a few moments or minutes later the audio dies and the audio app gets killed. I can tell because when I enter back into Doggcatcher, the loading screen starts up as if it wasn't running before. Is this a case of over aggressive task killing? Is there a way to prevent this at all?

That sucks if that is the case. I'm using all the same apps as my old phone (Evo 3d) and I never ran into this on CM9. Guess it's time to replace my evo with a GS3, which is a shame: I love the evoLTE otherwise.

I had the same problem on my old P500 too, I re-installed the ROM and it never did that anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rockylittlewolf:
Hi XDA. I have a problem and could use your help.

In order to make flashing ROM’s easier for myself I thought it would be a good idea to place them in the first folder listed on the internal sd card. In order to do this I placed a “.” befor the name of the folder. After wiping everything I learned CWM 5.8.1.8 (touch) does not see folders with dots(“.”) at the beginning. So I now am in recovery with no ROM to flash:(

I then proceeded to dig an even deeper hole for myself. In my attempts to install drivers for my device I have done something; now my computer fails to recognize that the device is plugged into the USB at all. Prior to my messing with it I would hear the USB input chime and Device Manager would show an “unknown device”. Now when I plug in my device nothing happens. I have tried two computers and both Win7 and Ubuntu.

I read that Linux might be able to see my device so I installed Ubuntu then the Android SDK as per this thread. It did not work for me. I still cannot see my tf101 but I can see my Nexus s with the “adb devices” command.

I bought my tf101 refurbished and can’t find the “B” version written on the device. I think I initially rooted with razorclaw...not %100 sure. I am not sure adb debugging was checked when I wiped...not sure it makes a difference at this point.

I am now looking at these NvFlash instructions but I can’t get past the 2nd step (I am a noob...obviously)

- run “./blobunpack recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.1-tf101.img” (Replace “recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.1-tf101.img” with the name of your downloaded file”)

Will this NvFlash tutorial work if the computer can’t see the device?

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AzOzA:
Try those steps from this website Reverting to Stock ROM (unroot and remove CWM recovery)

this is easier for you when u try to nvFlash your tf101. remember update driver, run as administrator on program
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rockylittlewolf:
Thanks for the info!

I am away until tomorrow evening. I will try it then.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rockylittlewolf:
Hi,

I am still having problems.

Can I install drivers if the device is not listed in device manager? How?

Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AzOzA:
it will be reinstall or request when you unplug and plugin back your connect from tablet to PC

if your driver had been load or connected just go to Devices and Printers to check your connection, after that update your driver
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rockylittlewolf:
Hi. Thanks for trying to help.

My problem is my computer is not seeing the device at all. No USB input chime. Nothing showing up in device manager. No nothing!

Could be the chord I guess but I don't think so. I was getting "unknown device" in device manager initially after I wiped the ROM. After attempts to install drivers I stopped getting any sign of the tf101 in device manager.
[HTC Rezound] njjah2012:
I'm not new to rooting or anything however having extreme difficulty with the whole RUU/PHI81 or what ever the file is. Im reading correctly however I'm new to rezound and the whole locked bootloader deal. Just need some help. Want to flash a ROM but just need step by step guide to get started.
[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Look up Scotty's noob guide. It's really useful getting started.
[HTC Rezound] Droid12User:
And also depends on what rom u want to flash. most are pretty standard but the scott guide is definitely a good place to start. can help too if u need. happy flashing :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gk9910:
I spent a whole day to unlock my rooted Optimus T (P509) with CM7, and finally I made it, so I decide to write it down just in case someone need it.

I call T-mobile to get the unlock code, and they send me a email with a instrustion like this: Insert T-Mobile or Non T-Mobile SIM card in to the device. Tap the Dialer Enter 2945#*509# (after inputting this a pop up box will appear) Enter in the unlock code Click done Click unlock

But since my P509 is rooted and under CM7(7.1.0 Thunderg-KANG), this method doesn't work at all.

So here is the solution:

1. Download stock rom of P509 from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1824618

I use Froyo 2.2.2: v10s, copy the zip file to your SD card.

2. Install ROM manager (v 5.0.2.0), choose "flash clockworkmod recovery" on your phone, and then choose "backup current rom" to back up current ROM on SD card. Then choose "install rom from sd card"

3. The phone will reboot and enter clockworkmod recovery. Wipe the data and cache and then install the zip (v10s) from the SD card. Then reboot.

4. The system will back to the t-mobile stock and you can unlock it following the T-mobile instruction (as mentioned above)

5. After "unlock successful" the system will reboot and now you can use the sim card from other carrier. But of course we don't want to use the old T-mobile rom, so we need to restore our old rom.

6. Turn off the phone, then hold "down, home and power" together, then it will boot up to clockworkmod recovery. Wipe data and cache, then choose restore the rom you backup ealier.

Now you have a unlocked P509 under CM7, without losing any old apps you installed.
[Defy General] pranks1989:
Hi. Well many of us here got faulty proximity sensor in our Defy/Defy+. I too started facing that issue recently when a local service guy missed the rubber grommet between the sensor and the housing. So these are the ways:

If you are using MIUI just go to settings and disable it.

For any other ROM install this and disable the hardware with name:isl29030_als_ir. This is the easiest way but in JB system_server started taking lot of CPU after this!!

For many people using CM7/CM9 selecting "inaccurate proximity" in settings works.. Its in settings>display>In-accurate proximity.

If none of the above works, then install this. This is a hex editor and now open it > settings > enable root. Now browse to /system/lib/hw. Open sensors.jordan.so > search for the string: /dev/isl29030 in ASCII mode and make it as /dev/isl29030 or anything else and save it. Search for more occurences and edit them and save the file!
[Defy General] starbright_:
In which sections of settings I can find "inaccurate proximity" in CM 7.2 ? I can't find it there ..
[Defy General] pranks1989:
Its been some time since I used CM!! Did you try in settings>display? Else go to dialler and then settings.. Check there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Theolodin:
Hello All,

I have been running into some speed issues when I am in Los Angles, CA (where I work). When I surf the web, stream, facebook, neflix, or even check the play store It will not connect and/or be very very very slow. This only happens during 8:30 am and 4:00pm. When I surf/stream before 8:30 am or after 5:30 pm ish, it goes back to decent hspa+ speeds.

I contacted AT&T, and they said that it could be because of the large buildings, but that would not account for it working before 8:30 am.

Is this a problem with my phone (the actual radio), or is it a problem with the AT&T's service in Los Angeles?

I am trying to decide if I need to warranty my phone, or if I should not. I am guessing that it would be a service issue, but I am looking for some advice.a````

Thank you in advance!

If your still connected at H+ during the times of slowness, then its on at&t. Could be too many folks on the same tower, could even be throttling you guys without stating due to over usage of towers, I think the towers have that possibility.

Highly doubt a modem can change anything for ya

But I can guarantee that at&t is not working on **** at those times, they have very strict rules for when there stuff gets worked on, and thats only at night.

I guess, but no one in the market for a phone is going to buy a Walkman instead, right? And if money is one of the larger factors then a last gen iPod on Craigslist for $20-$100 is the better choice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djolam:
Hey forum,

First off I'd like to say, I have done quite a bit of searching on this and either get caught up in endless pages of crap I don't fully understand or I just can't find the answer. My apologies if this issue is simple and out there.

With that said, I'm definitely a noob at all the rooting and ROMs for phones. I've spent 20 years using cell phones as.. well, phones! Had no idea the world that was waiting for me and the time consuming hours of research and trial and error.

So I got the Amaze and first off, wanted to root it so I used CWM which is currently running. I then get an update notification for ICS but every time I try to install it, I'm stuck at a green X logo.

Is there a way to install ICS with CWM already on my phone or do I need to remove it first? I have searched for both answers which is why I finally set up an account and created this thread.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

use hasoons toolkit to flash the stock recovery back onto your phone, then if the boot loader is unlocked go and relock it. then after those 2 things are done, attempt to upgrade to ics.

after you upgrade to ics you can root and unlock it again.

I have had 5 and every single one has had faults, some of them multiple faults. All of them have had the screen lift problem on the left. All of them have had LCD issues such as stuck pixels, backlight bleed or LCD mura.

If you get a faultless unit, you are in the extreme minority. I wish you luck anyhow.

Edit: I would like to add that if not for the faults, the Nexus 7 is worth a lot more than what it sells for. It's a solid piece of kit. The faults turn that perspective on it's head though.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Nexus 7 is an awesome tablet. ASUS just sucks at manufacturing it. Hopefully your's will arrive in good shape.

Possible issues to expect...

* Left side of glass raised above the bezel. This seems unfortunately common, but there are quite a few things people can do to fix or minimize the issue.

* Washed out colors. Good chance you won't even notice it if not comparing it side by side with something else. Some people claim to even prefer the less vibrant colors.

* Weak speaker. Volume+ app can help, I set mine to +7 boost.

* Screen over saturated during and after playing video. This goes away within seconds of playing the video, turning the screen on and off clears it up. If you are rooted, there is an app and script you can install to disable the feature causing the problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1815414

Think that is about all I can think of on possible issues you might come up with. It's still a really nice tablet though and it's good points do outweigh it's problems. So I wouldn't worry too much.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rslembo:
Evening, guys.

I'm kinda having problems with my Android Beam on the GNexus.

I used my phone (GNexus 4.1.1) and my girlfriend's phone (NexusS 4.1.1).

Put them back to back and tried to send webpages, youtube videos, contacts, images, etc..

Both devices vibrate and have the "touch to beam" options.

When attempting to send the file after touching, the image of that file would just slowly getting smaller on the screen to a point it just "goes away" and nothing happens on both phones.

The device trying to send just stays on the Beam's screen and the other device trying to receive doesn't do anything.

(just ONCE we could share a video from youtube with no problem, as mine GNexus was at 4.0.4 yet)

Don't have any other device to test..

Bought mine 3 days ago, wondering if it could be a hardware (or whatever) problem.

Any ideas about that?

Thanks in advance.
