Try out the otterbox or Kayscase. Otterbox has more protection, larger and more expensive while kayscase makes ones that are slimmer and cheaper.

The Griffin Survivor suffers from some sounds issues. I took the membrane out over the speaker, problem solved.

Other then that it's a great case, I gladly demo the drop protection by throwing and dropping for the heck of it.

Otterbox Defender

I really like my otterbox defender. Very sturdy skeleton includes a durable screen protector similar to like gumdrop cases and shock absorber for the back. the rubber outside is nice to grip and its not the silicone stuff that attracts dust and hair like some do. a little pricey but worth it if you're clumsy like me. also comes in dozens of colors.

Hi all, i really need help here. I search through forums but still cant get any solution.

I rooted my s3 earlier today and freezing some stuff using titanium backup. It work fine until suddenly it got restart automatically. After that, i got stuck on the "Samsung" logo. I do not install any custom rom as i'm noob to all these things. I froze those apps and some bloat stuff according to some list i got from the internet.

What i can do to get my phone running back without losing any data? I forgot to back up using clockwork after i root my phone.

Please help!!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rmanne:
You can still backup now (if you have a custom recovery installed. if you don't, then i think there are some clockworkmod Odin flashables available, no idea where). Then when you erase, and boot up next time, use titanium to open the nandroid backup (because it can do that, as long as you have the full version, which you can just find cracked versions of), and it will add the whole nandroid backup to part of the "backed up list" in titanium. All the data should be preserved too (I don't rememebr if it also takes the cache).

and just a question to devs, is it even possible to cause boot loops by freezing bloat? I have never had such issues. I even froze my browser, the calendar, file manager, clock, and nearly every app in a clean AOSP build (did that for a benchmark once), and it hasn't bootlooped. Think there is something else? Some other factor?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pytyper483:
I have never seen or heard freezing bloat to cause boot loops. He froze something he shouldn't have. Try Odin back to stock then re-root or leave stock. Don't do things you don't understand.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Idyar:
It sounds like you froze something you shouldn't have like this poster said. Before freezing in titanium always make a nandroid backup and do a quick Google search to make sure it's safe to freeze.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnixxinU:
My Nexus 4 can connect to my home Wi-Fi, but it never actually works. (It's indicated as blue but nothing to do with the internet works when it's on) occasionally it will work for about 10 seconds then stop working again, and occasionally the signal will drop.

I have tried re-starting my router, restarting the phone, etc.

What should I do?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
See if it works on a different router. My guess is your running a protocol that isn't supported well in linux. Make sure your using WPA2 tkip/aes with no fancy settings out there.

Also try running with no password and see if that fixes it.

Is there a trick how can I speed up my Facebook app? All other Internet apps are running good but only the Facebook app take very very very long time to load.... :(

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] maanz "L":
hello mate. it can be very frustrating for the app to load a long time. sometimes, the app itself is not stable enough. lots of people complained about the android facebook app. just read it at playstore and look at their comments.. that could be the main factors to yr problem. try updating yr app to a newer version or revert to the previous versions of the app. hope it helps. cheers..

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KyoouN:
hi,

yeah i also have this problem in germany.. but really just with mobile data! me and my friend tested it with mobile internet. It did NOT load. Not on my handy, not on his handy. Then he turned hotspot on, i connected to it. now, with hotspot (-> wifi again, but over his mobile internet that didnt load facebook app therefore) it worked more than well.

I guess just a bug with the mobile Internet but I guess it was fixed in the last update tho.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] A331709:
I have a work around. USE facebook via your browser. The interface is similar to the app and it definitely loads faster than the app. It also allows you a few other features that the app doesn't (bugs or design... I don't know... Fb app has always been ****e).

I just upgraded to the note2 and have not rooted my phone or put any custom ROM on, still trying to decide what route I want to go with that.

But I use to have an inspire4G and ran Cyanogenmod and in the settings it had the ability to select only the 2G network, which is ideal for me when I am out in bad reception area. Is this only possible on custom ROM's or am I missing something in the setting on the stock ROM?

Thanks.

It's not retractable, but it's a little bigger/thicker and has a clip so you can hang it on a pocket.

Yup, other than having an eraser end, it also has changeable nib tips. You either want the plastic easy glide or the rubber nosed one. I got mine for about $24.

Can someone help me understand when I should use one or the other. Also when is a good time to do it?, before a flash of a custom rom?

I recently performed the bootloader unlock procedure from Adam and after it completed I ran the twrp backup to my sd card. Does that mean I could restore to that backup should verizon send ota and revert the unlock?

Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Titanium would be used when you want to backup all of your apps+data, Twrp would be used when you want to back up EVERYTHING apps, messages, pics(on internal sd), basically everything lol. As for verizon sending a ota, I think it's highly unlikely that they can push a ota to our phones now I think the bootloader unlocking and rooting broke all of that. Especially if you run a custom Rom.

Sent from my rooted, and unlocked Vzw note 2 running beans Rom! U mad?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
Titanium is backing up apps. So lets say you use CleanROM and you want to flash to a newer version cleanly. Use titanium to back up the apps and you will be able to restore them easily on the new rom.

Backing up via TWRP basically means you are backing up EVERYTHING in the rom. So lets use the previous example, uograding from one rom to another. You do a twrp back up and begin to flash the new rom. If anything screws up, you could just restore the twrp back up and everything would go back to normal, back exactly to how your phone was when you made the backup.

Edit: basically a back up in recovery is creating a safe point to come back to if anything goes wrong EVER with your device. There are things that this typenof back up cannot undo however.

Titanium is for apps and that's it. It helps free up space as well as making backups for apps incase on of your apps screws up.

EDIT 2: next time post this type of thing in Q&A and not in general
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
Titanium Backup - Used to back up all of your apps and their data

TWRP - Used to back up the ENTIRE system. Meaning, if anything goes wrong, you can restore a past "save" of your system before the problem.

You can think of it as Titanium Backup would be like copying a MS Word document onto a flash drive and TWRP would be like taking a copy of your entire hard drive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
Titanium backup: for backing up apks and their datas, mms and calling history, bookmarks, alarm and wifi settings....i think that's about it. Because your apks keep updating every few days, you should make this backup right before you flash a new rom. Once you retrieve, you don't have to keep this too long.

TWRP backup(aka nandroid): this is just like a saved point when you play a video game. sometimes when you download something, it can alternate other settings and create a mess.....which then may cause your rom to malfunction. At this time, you can flash your nandroid.....it dumps every saved datas, cache, etc etc so that you can go back to your saved point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Titanium back up- is a app that backs up applications and their data...also has the ability to freeze system apps and create back up .zips of the devices applications.

TWRP back up- is a custom recovery that allows the user to create a back up image... that image will restore the boot image, rom, kernel, data, and cache back to the point of when the back up was created.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
It used to be that restoring titanium data from one rom to another was bad. Is this still a recommended no no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Pretty much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JRunner01:
First thanks to everyone for the replies!!!

Sorry for posting in wrong section.

So I cant use titanium to backup my apps, then to be restored on a custom rom, since I am on what appears to be a stock / rooted rom from Adams unlock procedure? I would have to reinstall them from google / my apps.

My twrp backup would be useful if the custom rom I soon load goes bad any I need to get back to a good state, right?

Also as on reply said, no worries from ota since we are rooted and unlocked? You all agree?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes you can use titanium to back up your apps and restore them on a custom rom...just restore the apps without data. you have the rest correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I always restore my user apps with data, I just don't do system apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
great...but when switching between aosp and touchwiz this can cause apps to force close. the op said "custom rom" so i provided a blanket statement covering all bases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I restored all of my apps user that I used on JBSourcery from my Nexus to my Note II.

I think the main problem some people have with restoring their apps is that they're restoring system apps not just user apps. Sometimes what was a user app on one ROM is a system app on another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I agree that folks get into trouble because of what you posted in your last sentence. This is exactly why I do not recommend it because a new user 99% of the time wont know that. So I simply do not suggest it...now somebody more experienced like yourself is a different story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Disagree.

It won't always happen, but problems can and will happen restoring user data. I have seen it a million times and logcat shows it too. When there is a database conflict (the logcat shows this), the app force closes, and the only fix is to clear data for that app, which undoes what you restored. Might as well forgo the irritation and not restore it the first time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
It has yet to happen to me.

The only time it came close was with better terminal emulator pro. I restored using titanium and it refused to work. Downloaded it from the play store, it worked fine. Then restored over that using titanium and it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerg004:
Anyone have any advice on creating the .zip? Is it even a possibility in TWRP? I used CWR for the longest and am a n00b with TWP. There are only 2 options when creating the update.zip: Edify (Android 1.6+, ClockworkMod 3+) and Amend (Android 1.5, ClockworkMod 2). So which is needed to flash in TWRP?

I'm not interested in creating a .zip of all my apps, just a .zip I can flash in recovery after clean wipe/flashing a new ROM. TIA guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] airbus318:
So I get the fundumental difference between utilizing the 2 methods of backing up but what I don't understand is that if TWRP backup is like taking a snapshot or image of EVERYTHING, why is my backup folder created from a TWRP backup such a small size (2.4GB) when everything on my phone equals way more than that? Is it compressed? I don't remember selecting that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
It only gets /system, /data, and kernel if you don't change the options. It's not getting everything on SD card or internal storage unless you specify that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] airbus318:
Ok makes sense but I don't see those options even available?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LG13:
I typically only select system, data and boot. Should i be backing up the recovery and cache too? I haven't had any problems restoring to previous versions
[Nokia Lumia 920] RekAdy:
Hello XDA,

I've got a Lumia 920 and I'm pretty new to all this flashing thing and I was wondering: How do I know what ROM to flash on my phone? Maybe the question sounds too general, but I will get into details in a moment.

I bought my phone from Romania ( the country I live in ), but the phone came with a Poland ROM. I also want to update to the latest firmware which has the camera fixes and battery improvements, but I don't know what ROM to choose.

I have an unbranded phone ( not locked on any carrier ) and I want it to stay that way. Would any of you be so kind to look on Navifirm at the 1232.5951.1249.xxxx ROMS for the RM-821 Lumia 920 and tell me what ROM to flash to stay unlocked and have access to all Nokia apps from the marketplace? I say this because I had issues on my old Lumia 800 with dissapearing xbox live and not having all nokia apps.

Thank you very much in anticipation and Happy Holidays !

EDIT: I found this ROM: 059R747: RM-821_920_VAR259096_CEE_CV_12491_Black which seems to be the right one for me. Romania is in Central Europe ( provided CEE means Central & Eastern Europe ) so I guess it's ok to flash this on my devide. Wish me luck :D
