I had their case for my Galaxy Nexus where it provided great protection and was also lightweight. I just ordered their case for the GN II and I'm excited to receive it. I went to the sprint store the other day looking for the bodyglove everyone has been talking about but ended up buying some bulky and heavy case from ventev.

http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_83&products_id=326

No pics are up but Clay did provide me with some rough samples. This looks to be far less bulky than the ventev and otterbox cases. I'll post pics once it arrives.

Yes, the other one was first, but I prefer to see images of the case on the phone. (like I'm sure most users would)

The TPU site doesn't provide that - this post does.

I vote to keep this one and kill the other.

Would like to purchase via amazon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rev_9394:
i think they might've rushed this out. this is one of their few cases where there are no cutouts for the buttons
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KillaHurtz:
There's not supposed to be. I personally am looking forward to this case, as I loved the one for my GS3.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ihyln:
My case shipped out yesterday so I should have pics by Thursday or Friday. As for cutouts there weren't any for the Galaxy Nexus and that did become a pain however with the few cases I've tried for the GN2 the lack of cutouts is not a problem.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gaticaag:
Just got my case in. I like it much better than the case from Cruzerlite.

Edit: First impressions. Love the matte finish and the smoothness of the back. I wasn't much of fan of the back of the Cruzerlite case, but I dealt with it. Vol Up/Down and power buttons seem a bit a "clickier".
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ihyln:
I'm jealous! I am still waiting for mine.. hopefully tomorrow
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gaticaag:
You'll most likely get it tomorrow! I ordered mine at 6pm on the 17th and got it today. I live in Chicago. The pictures you posted don't do the case justice! It's MUCH nicer in person.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twe90kid:
Thanks for the reassurance. I'm waiting for mine. Bought mine on the 18th. Hopefully see it tomorrow as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ihyln:
Got the case yesterday and it is great! It doesn't slip, it's light, and offers very good protection. Without the case I would frequently hit the power button but there is less of that now. I wish I hadnt spent 30 bucks on that bulky ventev case from sprint.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
If I didn't "need" a kickstand in a case, this would be my number 1 choice. Their case kicked ass on my Galaxy Nexus. This is the best slim type case with a great matte non slip finish, and the cost is always very reasonable. I wish Sammy made phones whose bodies were like this case lol.

Please Don't Quote This Entire Post

Ok So You're Hooked And Want To Mod Your APK but can't get it....

well it should be simple enough,

Method 1,

Get ES File Explorer File Manager & Run It

Click On The

AppMgr

Which Is The 2nd Icon To The Right Top Hand,

Look For The App You Want To Retrieve,

Long Click On It & Choose

Backup

,

That Would Cause The APK to be copied to /sdcard/backups/apps/

Find It There And Copy It To Your Pc.

Method 2,

Let Take

Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

As an Example;

Open The Play Store Through Your PC

Look At The Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM&feature=featured-apps

that Highlighted part should be the name of the APK...

So Try This

adb pull /data/app/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM-1.apk com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM-1.apk

Should That Fail try replacing the -1.apk with -2.apk and that should do the trick

Method 3,

If You're Rooted, Use Any File Explorer And Navigate To /data/app/

Locate The APK and copy it to the SDcard then onto your computer,

Even faster Still Once You Know The Exact Name Use

adb pull /data/app/gamename.apk gamename.apk
[HTC One X] Thunder07:

Hey guys

tried the app with 2 computers and always getting the same error.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
@Everyone,

Thanks For The Support, I Didn't expect so many people would be interested in this app :)

@tessut,

Telling me it doesn't work wont make it work,

if you're getting an error, report it,

the mod list is empty, download them from the mod post,

if the new apk is no different, could be because you're reinstalling the same APK and not the new one in the "signed" folder,

if the new APK is not working, well let hope it does because i can't think of anything else at this moment.

also making a video would take time.... i really dont have any,

i want to make few updates to the app but still dont have time to do that aswell.

@MeLViN-oNe,

i can see Ionic.Zip in the error, try downloading that DLL from the 1st post.

I've upgraded my Lumia 800 to 7.8 (Euro) and its brought with it the most ridiculous volume restriction.

So, if you enjoy hearing your music avoid this at all costs.

If anyone knows how to disable the retarded volume restriction please share it.

** note **

*** you can still go up to level 30 for the volume but this does not mean you get the same volume as you did pre-7.8 update ***
[Nokia Lumia 800] mcosmin222:
Can you be more...specific...what's up with what limitation...?
[Nokia Lumia 800] flowerpoweruk:
The update brings in a limit on how loud the volume of music can get
[Nokia Lumia 800] voluptuary:
Some of the new firmwares have a package in /OEM called NOKIA_RM801_VolumeLimit, it's just a few registry keys. If you are building a ROM for yourself I suggest you remove it.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VolumeLimit]
"EnableVolumeLimit"=dword:1
"VolumeLimit"=dword:0D
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\AudioToneUtility]
"DTMFVolume"=dword:FFFFF830 ;-2000
[Nokia Lumia 800] seanpr92:
myn just gives me a warning about hearing damage i can still go up to 30
[Nokia Lumia 800] ItsmYarD:
Same here, I can still go to 30 on my 7.8
[Nokia Lumia 800] trinits:
Same for me and I had it only once. I just pressed the VOL UP button and it was OK.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
So it's not just me. I noticed thins too -- I can barely hear anything in podcasts anymore.

I wonder if this is an EU volume limit regulation thing. I went from a non-country specific ROM to the Swiss rom. (Yeah I know Switzerland's not in the EU but...well I dunno.)

The non country specific 7.8 ROM isn't out yet, but maybe the Indian ROM doesn't have this limit.

voluptuary: Before i wipe my phone again, are you aware of any 7.8 rom without this restriction? I can't do a custom rom as i have a phone with the locked bootloader.

Edit: btw, you still see 30 / 30 volume on screen, it's just that everything is much quieter.
[Nokia Lumia 800] second_east:
Mine can go upto 30 (max) but returns back to 13 after reboot. Weird.
[Nokia Lumia 800] flowerpoweruk:
mine does that too but the volume is not at the same as pre- 7.8 update.
[Nokia Lumia 800] voluptuary:
I am not sure, an easy way to find out would be to install OSBuider then just open the rom you are looking at and check to see if it has that package. I would guess some of the non-euro ones would be the best place to look.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but how do you open the .esco firmware files with OS builder. I can extract them with a zip program, but then you just get a .img file that nothing seems to be able to open.

Any hints to point me in the right direction here? :)

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

So I tried the Indian ROM (059L975) and it's just as bad as the Swiss one -- the volume is *really* low, even at 30 / 30.

Does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade? Nokia Care Suite doesn't appear to allow it :'(

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Ok, recovery mode instead of refurbish mode lets you downgrade. Well, I guess I'm back to where I started. At least I'm not stuck with a phone so quiet I can't use.
[Nokia Lumia 800] voluptuary:
You open up OSBuilder then in the upper right corner there is a little thing you need to switch to dump mode. Then click on file in the upper left and then 'open file' then change the file type to .esco. then check to see if the package is listed.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ItsmYarD:
Awh, I got my phone with 7.8 installed (just got it on Sunday) so I am not really sure how it sounded like before 7.8
[Nokia Lumia 800] flowerpoweruk:
I can confirm it's the same with the Lebannon version of 7.8

So at the moment it's looking like they all have this volume restriction thing.

Also, am I right in thinking that you can only edit the rom if you have the Qualcomm bootloader?
[Nokia Lumia 800] rohitsingh05:
I have the Indian Rom installed as well. While i agree that the phone gave me a warning the first time I increased the volume above 13, and that it does reset the volume to 13 on restarting the phone. I can see no difference in the volume levels otherwise. To me, at 30, it sounds as loud as it was with v7.5. I realise the problem could be with my phone as well, but considering that its sounding sufficiently loud, are you sure the problem isnt with your phone's hardware?
[Nokia Lumia 800] trinits:
I agree, I use my phone everyday with a Philips SHB9000 and I truly don't hear any difference
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
Thanks for the tip Voluptuary, I figured it out.

I opened up the Indian ROM (059L975) and found the VolumeLimit package you found earlier. I can confirm it's the same as the previously posted one:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VolumeLimit]
"EnableVolumeLimit"=dword:1
"VolumeLimit"=dword:0D
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\AudioToneUtility]
"DTMFVolume"=dword:FFFFF830 ;-2000

So the Indian ROM definitely does contain the volume limit. :'(

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

I just opened up Norwegian and Tunisian ROMs, and they have the volume limit too.

What is an owner of a DLOAD phone to do? Does this mean... I can *never* use 7.8 on my phone? *gasp*
[Nokia Lumia 800] flowerpoweruk:
thanks for looking in to that

the only thing to do unfortunately is to go back to 7.5
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
In an act of desperation, I tried downloading newly-released ROMs for the United Arab Emirates and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Tragically, if completely unsurprisingly, these both have the volume limit in place too. :'(
[Nokia Lumia 800] seanpr92:
i think its safe to assume al 7.8 have restriction best bet is downgrade via navifirm and NCC or custom rom if you have qualcomm
[Nokia Lumia 800] rohitsingh05:
To all those who have been continuously complaining about the new volume restriction thing, may I know what exactly is your issue that you are going as far as to suggest downgrading the fw to be the best solution. Its not like you cant increase the volume beyond 13. YES, the volume does increase to the same levels as before, if its not doing that in your phone then its a problem with the hardware and not the software. I agree it does reset the volume level back to 13 when you restart the phone, but honestly, how frequently do you need to restart the phone!! Max 3-4 times in a month. So please stop spreading FUD.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
Dude, no one's spreading FUD here. Also, no one really cares about the resetting back to 13 when you restart your phone. That doesn't bother me at all.

The issue is that the maximum volume is now *much* lower than it used to be. So much lower that using your phone to listen to stuff when outside (where there's lots of ambient noise) is now impossible. This is a primary use case for me, so downgrading is the only option (besides getting a different phone).
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rataplan:
Change EnableVolumeLimit"=dword:1 to EnableVolumeLimit"=dword:0 and see if that helps.

Greetz,
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
There's no way to edit the registry on a phone with DLOAD though... right?

But thats what i am talking about. I am using the India ROM and my phone is STILL as loud as it was before the upgrade to 7.8. Are you sure its not an issue with your phone hardware?
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
Your link doesn't work, sadly. What was it you were trying to link to? :)

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

I would doubt it. Having downgraded, the volume has got much louder, like it used to be. So clearly the hardware is capable of doing it.

Also, it makes perfect sense that the new ROMs have the volume limit and old ones don't -- the new ones all have the VolumeLimit package of registry entries. This doesn't exist in older ROMs. (You can open them up in OS builder and see for yourself.)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Trisera:
Maybe the restriction is only included in european ROMs? I am not quite sure, but isn't the EU responsible for this whole volume limitation? Is there really no way to remove that stupid limit without a full unlock? I have a Lumia 800 with a german 7.8 ROM and a dev unlock.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FunkTrooper:
I had thought the same thing myself, but I've looked at the contents of ROMs from all over the place, including some of the newly released Latin American and Chinese ROMs, and they *all* contain the volume limit package, with the exact same registry entries inside.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Trisera:
Damn, wasn't the best idea to flash the update after all. -.- They really had to f**k up the media player, didn't they? No update to xbox music, still no simple equalizer, horrible ringtone limitations (max 30 secs and under 10mb + mark as "ringtone" WTF ?!), removal of the lock screen integration of zune (not that bad, but ugly though) AND now this volume sh*t! :mad: I guess I must be happy that I finally got proper Bluetooth file transfer. Wow. o_O

I mean Windows Phone looks cool and stylish compared to other operating systems but overall functionality? ...meh. :/
[Nokia Lumia 800] Trisera:
Okay, I downgraded my phone back to Tango. I tried for a while to live with that, but no. Even Bluetooth file transfer isn't worth it. It really seems like there is still no simple way to increase the volume back to normal. Disappointing. :(
