How the sides hold up to pressure, around the outside of the screen? I noticed theres no support from the hard shell to stop the silicone lip from being pushed back from the screen. Ordered one, will just have to see I guess
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] psygnosi:
Because the outer shell is very rigid there is very little play to move the silicone lip. You have to force it hard to move. This is not a case for changing batteries. I'm actually scared to pull the phone out of the case. I had the otterbox commuter for my old Galaxy Note i717 and the material for the outer shell of that case is less rigid than this case. my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sleshepic:
Thats too bad, I have to do battery pulls occasionally (especially now that the power button long press doesnt reboot) and I usually depend on dual layer being fairly easy to remove. Right now the Aegis case I have feels like its bad to remove and replace frequently - which is good I guess in general just cus its snug, but bad of you need to remove the battery once or twice a day
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samklee:
Thanks for posting pictures. Mine should be coming in soon. I gather from your asher past that you're suggesting that removing the phone from the case seems pretty difficult?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XBOHDPuKC:
I'm taking my phone (Galaxy S III albeit) out of the same case on a daily basis (to put into an arm sleeve for a run) and it holds up just fine - pry off one top corner, then another and you have your phone out of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] e-motion:
Just got this case in last night and it is a great case no doubt, beautiful, not bulky, and offering decent protection, but holy cow is it tight and both hard to put on and remove. It's a concern for me, as I need to change the SIM when traveling.

I'm really afraid to damage the case, it is the tightest fit of any case for any device I have ever owned.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samklee:
Agreed. I just got my case in yesterday. It does fit very snugly but comes out easily if you start with one corner. Removing the dual pro case feels very similar in difficulty as removing a pop case, for those of you who have owned one before.

I'm very impressed with this case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
how would you guys compare this case with the otterbox commuter or the trident aegis in terms of protecting the gnote2?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
How is the bulkiness of this case compared to the seidio active case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RaptorMD:
Nice case, I had one on previous phones and like the design. I ordered the barely there case from Case-Mate but was going to get this one. I might end up returning it and getting it after all now that I have seen real world images of the case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sleshepic:
Just got thhe dual pro shine, white and grey. Some things I like and some I dont. Dont have my S2 anymore so gotta scrounge up a camera, will try to post some pics.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
My case arrived today, I got the brushed silver/grey. First impressions is very good. The silicone is pretty firm. And the shell is definitely very stiff.

My phone arrives tomorrow, and I will update with fit. However I won't have any good pictures as I won't have a camera better than what is on the note 2 to take the pics with.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DrPyro:
I got the brushed silver/grey version today. It looks good, rubber is firm, and the case is tight about the phone. My wife complained a bit because it adds a substantial amount of weight to the phone. She has an iPhone plus a case that doesn't do anything other than beautify it. I needed a protective case as i carry the phone in my dress pants and have almost dropped it multiple times already due to the quite slim and slick texture of the stock phone. Power & Volume buttons work good, no issue with that. They might actually work better for me, since i always seem to be hitting the power button when i pick up the phone. A little more firm push is probably a good thing.

If someone wants high resolution photos of the case, i'll be glad to take a few and upload.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ctruong17:
I would definately love to see some! Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SweetRedVoice:
Thanks for posting this. Is the brushed hard shell prone to scratches like the aluminum battery covers?

~~sent from my gNote~~
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spiff72:
Hijack threads much? :)

That thing isn't very attractive! And the Incipio case comes with a screen protector too. I can't speak to the quality because I already had a SP on mine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sleshepic:
Got one, good protection on corners, but pretty slippery. After holding it for a sec it warms up and the grip increases, but for the first moment it is very slippery. It has good drop protection, but I feel like I will drop it twice as much so it's a tradeoff. have gone back to my Aegis for now.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
this is the same case, maybe a knock off, as the Ionic Case. I have it and would prefer the incipio or otterbox.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spiff72:
I have to agree with this. The case is more slippery than I expected. It really looks better than the Seidio Active, though. I think I will give it a go. It is easier to return the Seidio than the Incipio (from eBay).

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
I got my case, got my phone.

The trick to installing it and having it look right is don't put the sleeve on first.

First put the sleeve in the shell, make sure the part on the back is pushed in right, the rectangular hole that the silicone sticks through and says incipio.

After that, peel off one side of the case opposide side as the rectangle hole. Slide phone in.

Pull corners of silicone over phone, make sure it is all lined up. Then push one corner at a time down into the hard shell pushing and holding the silicone firm.

Finish up, and it all looks good.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] juanaraya92679:
Those poka dots are ugly. Seriously i feel bad for anyone who paid to make their phone looking so ugly. lol sorry just my opinion. Maybe a girl's case but not a guys imo :

Here is a couple of pictures of my Dual Shine Pro
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] owl74:
Thanks for the pics. Is the outer shell plastic or aluminum ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sleshepic:
Plastic
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spiff72:
It is plastic made to look like brushed aluminum or brushed stainless.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DrPyro:
Okay, here are some more images.... As others have noted, it takes a little pushing and massaging to get the rubber part in place due to the tightness of the outer case. This is fine for me, as i want a tight case....

Yes, my phone is dirty and the case is already scratched...but that is why i NEED a case...... I know some ppl are concerned about lint attaching to the rubber. Yes, it happens with this case, but I don't consider it significant/major/bad. A quick wipe solves the issue....
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
An update. The bottom part of the case, ie bottom of the phone, I don't quite like how there is more silicone exposed, as opposed to the top of the phone. That coupled with the large hole in the silicone for the charging port allows the silicone to peel away from the phone much more easily.

It hasn't been an issue, but something to be aware of.

Actually having just silicone there though is a benefit, as not all my micro usb cables fit the whole perfectly and some are thicker and push the silicone up a bit.

I would definitely still buy the case again though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spiff72:
Mine has picked up a few scratches on the back. No drops yet - scratches have come from rubbing on a table.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sleshepic:
To be completely honest, I dont like the dual shine pro at all now. I even forgot about the look altogether and took a damn soldering iron to the back to try to give it some grip. Its far too difficult to take in and out (and downright overstresses the phone in doing so) is very slippery, the bottom silicone pulls around very easily, has no attempts at grips anywhere, is slippery and slides when face down, and looks pretty cheesy in person. Aside from good corner drop protection, i have a hard time finding redeeming qualities. I dont normally blast products but I just have to say I was very disappointed in the dual pro shine, im sure I would have taken to the standard dual pro better. Went back to my aegis and am now still in the market for a good dual layer.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ctruong17:
Awesome

I really like this case, and there's not so many bad things I can say about it. I have a white Galaxy Note II and got the white/silver DualPro Shine case for it. I must say, it looks damn sexy. Although it is not as metallic of a finish as I would have liked, it still looks quite slick though.

As other have mentioned the fit is tight, but I didn't have much trouble getting it on our off. Sure you might have to adjust a bit but it's still fairly easy. If you're looking for grip, this will not provide too much (I bought this with the intention of using it with the Flygrip). However the form-factor/slim-ness is quite amazing. It really captures the curved shape of the Note well and is a case you are proud to show off.

In terms of protection, the dual silicon/hard plastic provides good everyday protection from drops for me. Although there is a lip around the screen to keep it off say the surface of a table, it's not as high as I would like. Pressing the buttons through the silicon is nice, very responsive and easy to press.

It works fine with my SGP screen protector, no issues. I'm going to be getting the Glazzone screen protector in a week or so and I'll update you guys if this case can handle thicker screen protectors. [UPDATE - GLASS SCREEN PROTECTORS FIT FINE]

I'll post pictures if I can get my hands on a camera!

Great case

I had one of the same design on my Gnex, and it survived many drops to asphalt.

I just got the Incipio DualPro Shine case for the GN2 yesterday. (Amazon had a sub $19 price and with prime it was free two day shipping.)

Anyway...it's solid, easier to hold onto due to the rubber around the edges but not so grippy you can't get it out of a pocket. It's a wee bit tight to get on, but if you put the left side in first everything seems to line up fine, and a little poking/prodding to get the last corner right:cowboy:.

The buttons are perfection also. (I had a $3 TPU case that made button pushing very difficult....the Incipio is a dream.)

TPU =(phone didn't feel like it would survive a drop and was messing with my protector)

Incipio DualPro Shine = Solid protection in a very functional case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
How is the silicon? Some of these cases have really loose silicon and dust and sand gets in under the silicon and scratches the back of the phone like nothing you've ever seen. Also loose silicon makes cases really hard for me to use with my jeans. I need silicon that is super firm.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pompsdai:
has this case for a couple of days then returned it. dont like how slippery the back is and the silicon is too lose for my liking. albeit it looks nice when its clean.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ctruong17:
Updated my post above to include pictures of the Silver/White case :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] budwizer:
Just got mine from Amazon today Took it out of the box and immediately boxed it back up for return after fighting with it to get it on the phone the first time. Don't like the feel of the rubber and as others have stated it is fairly slippery with minimal to no grip.

Within a short span of one hour OS services on my device consumed 600mb.

I don't.have any sync apps running.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] mastiandroid5:
I observe further strange behavior on my device.

While the lock screen time is getting updated correctly, the time in the notification bar is stuck at 5.29am.

What possible reasons could there be for this weird behavior. Is there any relation between the unintended data usage by the OS Services and this time stuck problem.

View attachment 1569354

I will do a factory reset, but I am still eager to know the reason for these anomalies.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
You don't have any "crazy" app doing all this?

You don't remember since that behavior started? After you install something... Change something on hidden menu...

Just asking cause I never had nothing like that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mastiandroid5:
I had installed two apps, namely cardiograph and 3d rollercoaster. I had uninstalled them after using them for a day.

I used box.net app to upload some 200+mb files via WiFi and I had downloaded aurora 2 tablet Rom using my data in the morning.

That was my entire activity for yesterday.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Gildegan:
i know that turning off the mobile sync make you lose whatsapp messages and mails, but try that.

also, check how many accounts you have syncing (like google+or weather), change the syncing time intervals if its possible.

that behavior suggest me that its downloading a update or something.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mastiandroid5:
There was one more change I had done, and that was to add a second google account (I had the sync off for that account as well)

Secondly, I spoke to my operator, and they clarified that the total usage was only 200+MB on the data plan and not 600MB as show in the data-manager app.

I am not sure if the different dates on the lock screen and the notification bar and the OS Services 600MB data usage were due to this addition of a second account.

In any case, I have done a factory reset and have one account added for now, and all seems to be in order.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Menchelke:
Is there anything comparable to an Otterbox defender, for half the price?

I have spent the last 3 days searching google and here for a rugged case. I don't really like the designs of the Ballistic, and other generic ebay cases that are a silicone sleeve with a plastic snap on piece behind it, but I would settle for one if I could find one without a dang kickstand/belt clip.

Thanks to anyone who helps.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] moglux:
In the same boat here. Right now, I have a TPU case from ebay (search: "jolt case note 2") in all black. Nice one-piece case, fit is good, protects the phone well (accidentally tested a few times) and no problems with the buttons. But, I don't need the kickstand, and wanted something a little sleeker without losing protection. I wouldn't say it's 100% comparable to the Defender, but I wound up getting the Incipio Dual Pro, still waiting for it to arrive. It is a two piece case, but it looks good to me and is definitely not as offensive as some of the ebay cheapies. Search this forum for "incipio" and ebay for "incipio dual pro note 2".

If you are looking for a case with a built-in plastic screen protector, the the Defender may be your best bet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 00mred00:
personally...after $100+ in generic cases and being unhappy wih them I ended just getting the defender

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sallam94:
Hi there guys.

I have an xperia neo.

I got a new 32GB sd card. I first tried it on a nokia n8 phone and it worked really well... video playback, hd recording, music playback and more..

Then I put it in my neo, formatted it from inside the phone, then I copied a rom zip to it. I went into CWM and didn't accept installation of the zip.. it said (bad) installation aborted.

After lots of research, I put my old 8GB card into the phone and installed the zip from it, and it worked like a charm. After that.. I put the 32 GB back into the neo and transfered a couple of movies to it. When I created a new folder and copied the movies to it,... they didnt appear on the phone and neither did the folder they were in.

So I copied them to the root of the sd card and tried to play them with "rockplayer lite", "mxplayer" and "Vlc". Only one video played well (RM format) while all the others didnt work (AVI format 700MB movies).

Also tried "1.5GB avi movies"... didnt work. "MKV movies"... didnt work.

I thought it might be a codec problem or something like that, so I put an old 2GB card in the phone, put movies on it and tried... they all worked :cyclops:

I am really confused right now.. cuz this is my first android... I used to have an iphone, but I sold it and got this one cuz I heard it would be a lot better to have an android. btw, my iphone was 32GB, so I liked this one to be 32GB too :eek:

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] drafha:
I also using 32GB MicroSD SanDisk Ultra. It works fine on my Neo, everything can be run and installed.

It just does not fast like their said write up to 10MB/s read up to 300MB/s =.="

You may need to try use the 32GB on the other phones to see it works well or not..

Try to format it using SDFormat utility (google)

& check again, maybe its due to bad formatting ?

Who Manufactured this card and what class ??

I use 32Gb A-Data Class 10 couple of months now and had no problem on 2.3.4, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, 4.0.4.

I already tried it on a nokia n8 and it was flawless.

Btw, does ur memory card work fine with movies and videos playback?

I already did before posting, but it didn't make any difference :(

I have absolutely no idea... but here is what's written on it:

"Micros SD HC Class 10 32GB"

About the testing, I will get a reader in about 9 hours from now and will test it and reply here.

Thanks for ur suggestion.

If all fails, I will have to sell the card, wait for more money and then buy one like urs.... but I will be severely disappointed :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CooSeeS:
i assume a bad ' Format '.

i used this tool for formatting the card with W7 64bit !

http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

make sure you run this Program as ' Administrator ' with W7 !

!!! this Won't work with XP !!!

and here's a mini HowTo, maybe it'll help.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goevC84QEII

my advice, Don't buy any kind of ' Cheap + NoName Hardware ', even if it says ' Class 10 ', etc... !

I have tried that one time yea, and still the same problem persists.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] drafha:
o.O

Try to format your MicroSD from your Neo.. There will be a different format your MicroSD from PC and from your phone..

Mine, works fine. I just found when playing .mkv file using MX Player sometimes the sound lost then I've set the player to be hardware render but on some(or maybe all) .mkv video it will change back to software render, I found the sound lost only when on software render. But I don't think if it caused by the MicroSD..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sallam94:
Thanks for the reply bro.

I will try hardware renderer..... But the problem is, it worked on software renderer on another 2GB memory card :crying:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] motorazrv3:
In my opinion the best tool for formatting your as card is the sd card format tool from Panasonic.

It offers special options for sd cards while formatting.

Maybe an option to try.

1. DID YOU TEST THIS CARD WITH H2TestW ???????

if NO than do it ASAP you dont know who is manufacturer of this card and we dont know from where you took it, so this card can be fake if seen a lot of memmory cards that had 32GB sign on them but were 2GB cards.

So before you Format it for a million times with million tools TEST it for capacity !!!!!

And how much data you had on this card when tested it in nokla ??

That means thay your "32GB" card is 2GB card with modded SPD

. If you can: give it back to to place where you bought it, get your money back and buy normal memory card that hane Manufacturer logo on it and is from from valid source.

I agree with xywtez. I have heard about quite a few cases like this one. Some cheap Chinese products/replicas I guess :rolleyes: . This is the same case with some of the cheap china-market flash drives too. Hence, it's always a good option to buy a branded product from known good source. :angel:

Hello,

i'm new here and i have a problem using ICS Roms (28v, 30a, etc)

I tried to make this question in development's posts but i couldnt coz i'm new here :(

I'm from Argentina and my company is Personal... and my problem is using data (3g, 2g) conection! i don't have conection!!

Using CM10 roms i don't have any problem.. i tried flashing different basebands and rils but without success!! if anybody can help me i'll be so grateful!!!

Thanks!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
Hi there,

First of all: please, avoid posting questions on the development forum. The Q&A forum is there for a reason, you know?

About your issue, it's probably related to your current BB/RIL. Do you remember which BB your device had when 3G worked? I'm also using ICS (V30A), my carrier is Movistar (Venezuela) and got no problems with 3G. I'm using the latest BB (the one bundled with ICS V30A) and haven't changed RIL.

Also, did you check your APN settings (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names)? Make sure it's the right one, I had to configure mine manually since it was missing.
