[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tesla90k:
Hi everyone,

I've spent hours browsing different cases, finding both raves and pitfalls of each. I was thinking a protector over my screen would be prudent, but have heard that it can lead to diminished display quality and sensitivity issues.

I was using a full cover sleeve on Ebay, which in hindsight probably lead me to dropping my phone - but it was cheap and protected both sides. I want something that's very durable as when I work sometimes big things hit into my pockets.

The price seems like too much but so far the Otterbox Defender seems like the best bet. With my screen being cracked (still functional) will I run into issues with a hard screen protector? Here's a picture of the damage: postimage [DOT]org/image/bu0b0rsyz/

I really did do a lot of research, so sorry if you find this post redundant, but I was having information overload. And honestly, some reviews seemed like marketing =\.

Many Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
I've had the Otterbox Defender from day one and can't tell whether the touch screen has diminish sensitivity with or without the case. Both ways seems to work just fine. I've dropped my phone several times and it keeps ticking while it took the likin'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tesla90k:
I got my Defender a few days ago, awesome as a case. If anything I think there's better sensitivity because the screen has some give now - almost like a button but..... the display is not only murky but colors such as white appear to have a rainbow array like colors textured throughout. =\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidVageta:
I got the Otterbox Defender and I too noticed the "rainbow" effect. How did I fix it? I took the built in screen protector off. Simple as that. It now doesn't have a screen protector, but if its not in the holster its in my hand so I don't see scratches getting to it anyways honestly.

Bout to upgrade to an extended battery though, so case options are extremely limited now...hmmm...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elpidio:
I hear you, I was using the Otterbox Defender for I717, I put on a matte screen protector from nakedcell on eBay and it worked. I ditched the Otterbox and bought a Mugen 5400 battery, the only case I have seen and bought is the one made for the International version by hyperion or something like that I removed the lump from the power button. It fits but not very well. According to phone info from app market, actual battery capacity is closer to 4200 maH.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rjohnson5481:
every otter box i've owned i bust the clear plastic film out of. It has always stuck to my screen protector and caused weird things to happen. it's glued in normally so if you take it out you could always put it back. I just ordered one with my note and plan on doing it to that too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radimus:
My otterbox screen protector stuck to the zagg screen protector also, I just squirted the spray that came with the zagg screen and applied the otterbox screen and lid (as one piece) over the zagg and squeegeed it in place.

It only lifts on the edges, but not anywhere there is an image.

I' wouldn't plan on taking the case off, without screwing the screen protector install.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavemanhands:
I am new here, and I watched the video. I read a ton of info before I started to root my razr. I bricked it about a dozen times in 24 hours as I worked it over and over again to see if I could get it on my own.

I failed miserably, but I never gave up. Even though my wife laughed at me, I was determined.

Now, finally, I am rooted. I have some cool apps running as well as being tethered. My problem seems to be that I cannot get the roms to load properly. I have been trying the eclipse jelly bean, but I get errors every time.

I am running a version of eclipse now, I think 1.2 or something, maybe not. not the one I want, anyway. I just want one that is fast and clean and looks good doing it.

What am I doing wrong here? I loaded a ROM successfully but I do not get the backgrounds and widgets that I thought I should be getting.

Can I get a little help here? I want to keep trying and get something I really like.

I am using safestrap, I wipe the data, the cache(s) and even format /system. I go into safe enabled and install from zip on my sd card and return to safe not enabled, but sometimes I get an error loading. It is not the signature error, but I also don't recall the exact phrasing, it just fails to load the zip and aborts. The zip is as downloaded, I have not altered it or created another zip from it.

I have had to restore several times and I am very glad I did a backup after getting it rooted!

So can anyone send me to the right location for a tutorial or just tell me the steps to get a nice ROM loaded and maybe even recommend some ROMs to me?? I really want to know more and get this to a science.

Thanks for the help!!

[General Questions and Answers] HazyArc:
After carefully reading several guides, I thought I was ready to try flashing a ROM. Wrong.

I have the Samsung Exhibit II. I tried to flash RebelROM 3.0.9 via CWM, but when it booted up, I had no notification window, and if I try to download an app, it kicks me out to the lock screen.

So I thought I would just go back to the backup I made. Nope. Apparently the backup got glitched up somehow. When I try it says "MD5 mismatch".

Then I thought I would try a different ROM, but I don't have an micro SD card, and I can't enable USB storage without the notification bar.

Does anyone have a solution? I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm very new to Android. I have a micro SD card on the way, so I should be able to install a different ROM from that in a couple days, but I'd like to have a functional phone before then.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Make sure you didn't change the name of the folder for the backup with the md5 mismatch. If you didn't, see here:

[General Questions and Answers] HazyArc:
This is probably the most noobish thing you've heard all day, but where do I type the code from the post you linked me to?

Also, thanks for the reply.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
That's on your computer. You connect your phone to you computer via USB cable, and run the commands through adb. If you don't know what adb & fastboot are, you need to download the Android SDK. They're included there.
[General Questions and Answers] HazyArc:
OK, got it working, and I get as far as getting into my backup folder, but when I try to proceed, it says "No such file or directory". I must have really messed something up. Any other ideas?

EDIT: I'm positive that I left the backup on the default options.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If you changed the name of the backup folder (I used to do this routinely, to help me identify which backups were from which ROMs), you should change them back. Also, make sure you're not just copy/pasting from the other thread! The line that says

# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[B]2010-06-29.20.22.53[/B]

should be adjusted to match the name of the backup you're trying to restore. Pay particular attention to the bolded folder name.
[General Questions and Answers] HazyArc:
I never changed the name, and the folder name I used was right. I checked the contents of the backup folder, and I have boot.img, recovery.img, system.ex4.dup and data.ext4.dup. That doesn't seem right, so I think I'm going to have to give up on the backup. Luckily, I made a secondary backup with TitaniumBackup, so I think all I should have to do is install a stock ROM and download Titanium to restore my data.

Is there any way I'd be able to move a file from my PC to my phone via adb? Or should I do something else entirely?

Again, thanks so much for your help.

I had the same problem with koodo 4.0.3 and JMTX. I bet you were using CWM Recovery. For me to resolve this issue, I had to switch to TRWP using the dd method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639673

and reflash the room. After that, all was good.

I don't know much about the exact detail, but I suspect CWM recovery doesn't wipe everything (Hence the Superwipe script was needed, but I had problem with the superwipe script as well), where as TRWP does a proper job. That is to say, with CWM, we were effectively doing a dirty-flashing.

Give TRWP a try and let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

What you mean by drawer?

you can change the one in the status bar by renaming SystemUI.apk to SydtemUI.apk.zip, then find the picture, drag out out and edit, drag it back in, then remove the .zip extension.

I mean drawer as in the Menu where theres all the apps you have.

I know I can change the icons on home screen with customized launchers apps but how change the ones from the Menu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKeeperOfPie:
The tedious and impractical way would be to extract the .apks of all the apps you wanted to change and manually change them, but I don't think any launchers out there (well, any free ones or ones I've used) that allow this feature. You're outta luck. ): I tried looking for this awhile back also, but I could never find it.

I use an app called Icon Changer from Google Play

It changes the homescreen icons and the app drawer icons I believe. Very easy to do.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] greyrevolver:
Hi all,

First of all sorry for my bad english,

Last month my nephew gave me Motorola Droid Maxx xt912 Verizon, this device is brand new one.

I injected CDMA from local provider and it works flawlesly, but the problem come when I want to use the GSM (for your information I live in Indonesia).

When I want to use the GSM with inserting local provider micro simcard I can make phone call and SMS but I cant use the data, I'm sure I already set the APN correctly. I tried with 3 other local providers and still cant connect the data. Right now the phone running stock ICS Rom 4.0.4.

Really appreciate It if someone can give me a clue to solve this problem.

Thanks and regards

Hello,

I found an accessory set (3 items) that can let you use a keyboard and/or mouse with your Atrix 2. I havn't tested this yet but I'm pretty sure this works ;)

Items required:

OTG USB Cable

USB Male to Male Cable

AC Powered USB Hub

Once you bought them and recieved them, you can connect the OTG to the phone and the Hub to the male-to-male and the male-to-male to the Hub and the whatever to the Hub and the Hub to the wall and you should have it working ;)

If not, Then just post here/PM me and I'll help (If you willing to take a chance to purchase more accessories ;) )

Cheers and good luck!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Turbotab:
The general opinion is that the Krait based S4 is a terrific SoC, however its javascript performance is currently lower than its rival

For example

S4 1.5 Ghz Xperia T running stock Cyanogenmod 10 browser = 1381 ms ~

Nexus 7 (Tegra 3) overclocked to 1.6 GHz on stock AOSP browser (4.1.2) = 1100 ms ~

Galaxy Note 2 (Exynos) at 1.6 GHz on stock Samsung browser = 975 ms.

I would have thought that the Krait architecture at a similar clockspeed would beat a A9 SoC. What is the likely cause of this discrepancy and will firmware / software updates resolve it?

garyd9 How is AT&T LTE service on your international Note II ? I know in the past with unlocked phones (g1, note) the bands didn't match up, or there was soc compatibility issues and I was stuck with either 3g or edge for service. I currently have the Note and wasn't too happy that features like the FM radio were removed. Since I don't have an upgrade available the international version is the same price as an AT&T outright phone is going to be, so I might as well go with most bang for the buck! Additionally, have you noticed any downsides with the device? Thanks for your time!

I have the n7100 which doesn't have a LTE radio at all... However, I've found that nothing I do really takes advantage of the higher speeds, so I don't miss it. Haven't really seen any downsides other than the size (which I'm adjusting to.)
