I liked the Motorola (Same as Verizon) OEM case and holder with kickstand best as far as functionality, but the pattern on the design plus the thickness didn´t really appeal to me. So I found the perfect replacement with the Puregear version. It´s stronger, thinner and the pattern is sooo much more discreet and elegant, its perfect for mae. Plus I can safely vouch that after 4 nasty falls, both the phone and the case are still absolutely 100% perfect and absolutely flawless, not a single blemish. Extremely satisfied! :)

Here is the picture:

And I got it specifically from this vendor, if anyone is tinterested in a seller recommendation that while below msrp can still be proven as good:

Puregear-Belt-Clip-Shell-Holster-Case-Kick-Stand-for-Motorola-Droid-RAZR-HD

Cheers! :)

I've been using the feather case and absolutely love it. My only issue is that it doesn't sit too well in the car dock because it's significantly thinner than whatever case Motorola decided to use for their dock. However, using it on a 2 1/2 hour road trip and it held up perfectly. All I plan on doing though is add a couple tiny strips of roam rubber on the inside so it sits a little bit more snug as if it had a mold for the feather case specifically.

How cool would it be if case manufacturers actually made molds to fit the OEM car dock and packaged it with their cases? Just a thought!
[RAZR HD Accessories] Mofedog:
That would be nice! I have the otterbox commuter which only just fits in the car dock. It is so bulky that I can't get the phone to go into car mode and charge easily, I have to really jam it in....annoying.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

This case looks like what I want. Do you know if this will fit the XT925 and are you using the official car dock with this case by any chance?
[RAZR HD Accessories] ajape:
Yes, what I have is the Fido/Rogers Canadian version of the XT925, and it fits absolutely perfect. The MAXX version of the verizon model of this phone is a bit thicker, and so its important to make it clear that the MAXX does NOT fit this case.. Anyways, I also don´t use the car dock, so there I cant give you any info. Cheers! ;)

Case Mate Barely There after 2 weeks of light use. Soft touch coating peeling off everywhere. Replacement process was easy, arrived direct from mfr in 3 days. Problem with this case is the lip doesn't continue the full left side of the phone. Incipio feather still in great shape.

I've seen some of the grey colored feather cases selling new as low as $8. I only tried the case mate because it was $5.99 shipped. Plus the incipio includes a great quality screen protector.

I recently picked up an Incipio DualPro case. So far I really like it. Its much better than the Trident my sister bought for hers. Here are some pics for those interested.

NOT SURE IF POSTER IS STUPID

OR JUST STUPID
[RAZR HD Accessories] tech_head:
Anyone tried the Verizon bumpers??

They look pretty new. On the website for $9 for a pack of three, red, blue and green.
[RAZR HD Accessories] jfriend33:
Thanks for the pics of the dual pro. Looks like a nice case. I think it also comes with the vanity kit? The incipio screen protectors are easy to apply. I had to use a little soapy water to get mine on just right. They are also washable after you remove them fyi.

The bumpers have been available at least since March when I got this phone. But they weren't that cheap. Might grab a pack for when I'm not leaving the house. Thanks guys

I'm using the qmadix xpression cover which I got from Amazon for about 7 dollars which is lucky because the retail price is around 20. It is kind of on the bulky side.
[RAZR HD Accessories] Sead79:
Does anyone make an iPhone style bumper protector for the Razr HD? I find that I am constantly damaging the corners, but the front and r surfaces are fine. Almost a shame to cover up the back CF.
[RAZR HD Accessories] al2fast:
My wife has the pink dual pro since January of this year. Holding up great, but she is easier on her phones than I am. It offers great protection, IMO. One thing I noticed is the rubber on the case is very soft and gummy and pliable as compared to the rubber on the diztronic case that I use. I have dropped my phone numerous times and the diztronic is doing a great job!
[RAZR HD Accessories] GrimV2:
Just ordered a black Incipio feather case for my XT926. Took my qmadix xpression cover off to get used to the weight and damn..cases sure as hell take away from the natural beauty of the phone.
[RAZR HD Accessories] GrimV2:
Just recieved my black Incipio Feather case for the Razr MAXX HD and I love it. The only thing I hate about it is that the black case smudges easily.
[RAZR HD Accessories] jfriend33:
I would get on Google shopper and find a cheap deal and get another color. That grey color looks pretty decent although I love my neon blue one.

Been thinking about painting my defective casemate barely there.

I finally received this case after waiting 4 weeks for shipping and it is great, fits into the official vehicle dock perfectly unlike the otterbox commuter. thanks again ajape.
[RAZR HD Accessories] fascinateguy:
nice case
[RAZR HD Accessories] niksy+:
Has it actually split into pieces until now, mate? :) How much more protection would you say that it offers when compared with the Diztronics one?

*EDIT* Huh, anyone got experience with both Otterbox and Trident cases? I'm confused with the following...

Medium protection - Trident Aegies vs Otterbox Commuter vs Incipio Dual Pro? (the Incipio one has the highest rating on Amazon, with the Commuter having the lowest :S )

Heavy duty protection - Trident AMS Kraken vs Otterbox Defender? (does everyone have the mentioned isse with the screen protector on the Defender? I like that it's hard plastic, but how much does it hinder touch responsiveness? And does the outer rubber become fluby on all Defenders? That would suck :/ )
[Nexus 7 General] Awesoham:
OK guys, here's my first thread on XDA, related to reverse tethering.

The reason why ad hoc mode doesn't work often (at least during initial activation) is because the N7 specifically searches for routers.

Therefore all you gotta do is make your PC mimic a router with something called 'infrastructure mode'. Here's how:

Windows instructions:

Open a cmd.

Type these commands in order:

(Setup the network WiFi settings: )

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=myhomewifi key=password

(Start the network: )

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

To stop the network type:

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

And to show WiFi info:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork

Thank me if it helped! :)
[Nexus 7 General] skyline159:
Are there any ways we can reverse tether with a USB cable?
[Nexus 7 General] mvmacd:
I'm fairly certain it doesn't work "out of the box" without some setup, depending on the Wi-Fi card/drivers.

Maybe I'm wrong though? I don't use Windows, but I dual boot it when I need it. (Ubuntu)
[Nexus 7 General] Awesoham:
It works on my laptop, friends' ones as well w/o any hassle. No connectify needed...
[Nexus 7 General] Ydnaroo:
Seems like tethering is on it's way, probably in 4.2:

Many ICS ROMs out there, including the most recent "leaked" developments. Has anyone managed to get a lapdock to work?

Again, I am talking about lapdock not we top.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
Using epinter CM10 (no leak) the lapdock works great. No ICS Roms with lapdock working yet.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duchski:
Do you mean HDMI mirroring or actual Webtop 3 which is tablet mode on lapdock? Please confirm.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymayer:
He's talking about HDMI mirroring. Currently WT3.0 doesn't work with lapdock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
I mean HDMI mirroring with tablet mode. Webtop 3 is just an automated tablet mode toggle which also runs the two screens with completely separate images
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duchski:
I know what you mean now. The dpi tweak.

I can't believe we are so close and far away with leaked ROMs though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
The main advantage of Webtop 3 is that the UI toggle is automated, the HDMI and LCD display output images independently and the HDMI output is not a mirror (i.e. no pixel mapping / stretching). Check out the tutorial. This is our most reliable tablet UI experience to date.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duchski:
I will do that. How are you doing with dissecting leaked webtop/labdock ?

I ma tempted to compare to compare portal.apks from leaked rom with OEM ginger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
Ginger webtop is a totally different animal so not much there IMO. Regarding progress on the overall solution, I continue to find useful puzzle pieces and methods to improve life for the Atrix 4G user, but not a like-for-like Webtop 3, i.e. tablet UI without need for reboot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymayer:
The problem is that the resolution doesn't change with the DPI tweak, whereas Webtop 3.0 dynamically changes both DPI and resolution when plugging an HDMI cable. Usuing the lapdock with the DPI tweak is still an HDMI mirroring with a poor resolution.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
Yes, there is much work to be done to either: a) perfect Webtop 3 on Atrix 4G b) perfect a like-for-like solution.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aniruddha.jagdale:
Hi All,

I've a rooted HTC Pico and some time back I did a factory reset and it got stuck in bootloop. However, I sorted it out using Htc_explorer_Europe_stock because RUU_Pico_hTC_Asia_India_1.12.720.1_Radio_10.29.80.07H_1.09.80.26M2_release_217688 which doesn't work so I decided to go for European ROM and it works fine. I've following issues, could anyone please guide to sort it out?

1. Since I'm from India and want my original ROM back (i.e Htc_Explorer_AsiaIndia_stock), I downloaded it from this forum and when installed it I found it that it doesn't have Wi-Fi HotSpot in it, I don't know why and how?

2. I want to update its kernel too and when I downloaded from htcdev website and unable to install. It gives me and message saying 'Installation aborted'. How do I update my kernel? (The process involved)

Please advise.

Kind regards,

Aniruddha
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Ashwa:
If i am not wrong, htcdev is hosting kernel source not kernel.

please check the size of the kernel u downloaded. it should be around some 90MB(Kernel Source). where our device pico is holding a kernel size around 5MB
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] aniruddha.jagdale:
Hi Ashwa,

You are right, it is kernel source and it's about 93MB. What do we do about Wi-fi Hotspot, which is not there in Asia_India Stock?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinjielric:
Ok so heres the story. Ubuntu released a version of it self for the N7 and I went to try it out. Works ok kinda sluggish, but I digress.

Went back to stock and it went smooth as butter. Now I went to flash CWM and it flashed like it was supposed to. Now for some reason my tablet only boots into recovery no matter what. I tried to press power and vol down to get into the bootloader and it just boots recovery.

I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 to flash the image.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
It's stuck in cwm?

Can you reach it via adb?

If so enter "adb reboot fastboot"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinjielric:
Tried that and ADB said there was no device attached. So, I reinstalled my drivers and that worked. Managed to get into fast boot and reflashed stock. I manually flashed cwm and that worked no problem. I'm now back on my own version of cm10.

I'm having a strange issue with mine. Every time it goes down to around 8 or 7 % my nexus 7 completely dies. I've tried a couple of different kernels and same issue. I'm on CM10 nightly right now but I've also had the same issue on stock

I'd start charging when it hits around 15%

Deep discharges can be bad for Lithium Polymer batteries, I hear.
[Nexus 7 General] Nate2:
I was working mostly with my laptop, so didn't get to use the tablet as much. But it's nice to see that the battery (and possibly JB 4.1.2 standard power management) can get my stock, rooted 16GB Nexus 7 to survive for over a week between charges.

Good job, Google / Asus !

This is still far away from the 300 hours which are written down by Google in the technical specs. I really wonder how they got this.
[Nexus 7 General] Kearkan:
If you leave it on standby with wifi disconnected it can easy go a whole day and only drop 1-3% mine stays in my bag 8-10 hours a day without the number changing.
[Nexus 7 General] vorcers:
Interesting. Do you have some background apps installed?

Anyway, I think the Android System needs too much battery. The Apple devices have an amazing standby time. (I have an old iPod touch 2g MC, a short while ago the iPod had a standby time of 19 days. And the battery wasn't empty...)
[Nexus 7 General] ninjazoete:
Yep. I also turn off my WiFi on standby time and it can manage easily like 2-3 days of normal use but with the WiFI ON I get poor battery performance. No idea what is causing it. It basically shows no difference if the screen is on or off. When I leave it with WiFi On and I have like 3 inboxes/Facebook Messanger/ It just drains battery like crazy.

I tried to optimize it by looking into services and processes that run in the background. Killed everything and still it was that bad with WiFi turned on. It is a little sad : <
[Nexus 7 General] gogol:
This is very easy to achieve. If doing nothing, my Nexus 7 consume about 1% per 8 hours.
[Nexus 7 General] Hannes The Hun:
as "normal" people above have stated multiple times, nothing amazing there. quite the contrary: even with more or less the same usage, my work-provided ipad 2 (3G and WiFi) runs much longer. WiFi is a real battery killer with the 7, no doubt about that.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Yes, I go into wifi advance settings and set it to never be connected while sleeping. I think I can go a month without charging if I set it up this way and never touch it like OP did.
[Nexus 7 General] Warrior1975:
Jesus how do you do it? I go through withdrawal after a few hours without using my tab.
[Nexus 7 General] ncfastls1:
I agree with others, that's not too hard to reach if you just leave it sitting there the whole time. I haven't charged my iPad 3 in probably two weeks and it's still holding a charge, but I haven't been using it. I actually use my Nexus, normally at work to conserve the battery on my phone lol.
[Nexus 7 General] kilometers4:
Standby time doesn't matter. Screen on time is more important (to me at least). I just got over 9hrs on my last cycle :)
[Nexus 7 General] Nate2:
I think I'll do the same. My WiFi was set to always be ON.
[Nexus 7 General] Nate2:
Looking at the image below, why does the tablet "Awake" frequently, even though the screen is off, and it is supposed to be sleeping?

View attachment 1436541
[Nexus 7 General] kilometers4:
They're called wakelocks. You can get better battery stats from the xda app section to see what is causing it. It's usually a rogue app or sync settings.
[Nexus 7 General] eugenechiuu:
If you dont have any widgets running i am sure u can achieve that.. Apple doesn't have widgets
[Nexus 7 General] Nate2:
With my other tablet (or phone), just leaving it sitting drains the battery much faster.
[Nexus 7 General] ro_explorer:
If you put the WiFi policy to turn "off when screen is off" (or to "only when plugged") then, if there is no streaming, after you close the tablet, it wil draw very little power, next to none.

I keep mine with a smart cover and I have the wifi policy to "only when plugged" so the power graph is basically a horizontal line when the tablet is in stand by.

Anyway, my current usage scheme is forcing me to put it to charge overnight almost daily.
[Nexus 7 General] nba1341:
No screen on time = NO CARE
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I charge my daily regardless of discharge.. If I played games, I might see it as low as 30-40%, normally 80% if using it normally.

Turn off wifi and make sure no apps are doing wakelocks and yes, it'll last a month. I was away from an outlet for a few days and when I wasn't using it, it used almost zero battery. Although really if you're not going to be using it, just turn it off.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Guys! GUYS! I just went ONE MONTH between charges! It was turned off and fell behind the couch cushions. I just found it, turned it on, and it still had a charge!

[Nexus 7 General] KrzychuG:
Not really a problem if you leave it and won't use at all. I had mine lasting about 11-11.5 days with very low usage, like reading the news for 5-10 minutes in the morning. I'm quite impressed with the battery life tbh.
[Nexus 7 General] twk99:
I think the battery on Nexus 7 is good. I can play heavy games for many hours without charging :)
[Nexus 7 General] ethanfel:
yes, you use your nexus 7 without caring about batterie life. it's something i like very much. It's not like that with my S3.

[Nexus 7 General] dan122686:
I'm looking for a good reason to keep this thing. I bought it yesterday, and haven't really seen anything spectacular. I have the GS3 and it seems that the GS3 is quite capable of every feature that this tablet has to offer. Can anyone think of a good reason that I should keep this?
[Nexus 7 General] ro_explorer:
1. Does you GS3 support 3D effects of the THD games (playable only on Tegra devices) ?

2. Does you GS3 show you images in 7" size?

3. Can you comfortably read a book on GS3?

4. Not to mention the experience of watching a movie while on the go on a 7" screen ...

5. How long the battery on the GS3 last if you;re using it intensively?

And the list can continue but it is not the right topic for this.

After all .. if you are not happy with it, just sell it and move on.

I have a nexus 7 and a gs3 (us dual core). The nexus 7 definitely performs better, and its nice to have manufacturer jb out so all ROMs are just about as stable as stock.
