Dx.com has a bunch of cheap bumper cases for around $3 in multiple colors that match the flip case colors. I would check them out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Evermind10:
does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Crushader:
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IsolatedAbyss:
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ac16313:
I purchased this one
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
My definition of cheap hmm ive been seeing people get $3-$5 cases

I was thinking about getting a few of them actually how do you like it??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IsolatedAbyss:
The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are

1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)

2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)

3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

Id rather go for the Samsung case than that Diztronic case. Thats too expensive to be considered cheap. With 50 off the Samsung case comes out to 15.

I really like the first one because it also comes with a stand and it fits nicely. The second one I use when I go to the theme parks (I don't carry any bags if I don't have to... makes it faster to go through security). The third one I haven't tried yet, still on the truck from CA.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bvvq:
Hi xda,

I received my first Android phone from Telstra yesterday, a One XL. I tried to flash a new ROM but something went wrong and it didn't work. I'm reading through various Android forums and websites and I've gotten myself confused because there's so much outdated and irrelevant information, it's hard to parse. I can't figure out what step I should take now.

I unlocked the bootloader using the HTCDev website, and then installed TWRP v2.3.3.1. I put CyanogenMod 10 (stable) on the /sdcard/ partition, rebooted to recovery, wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache, and then installed CyanogenMod. The installation process takes 5 - 10 seconds and recovery says it's successful, but when I reboot I get an animated CyanogenMod logo, and nothing else, even after 20 minutes.

I made a silly mistake and didn't do a backup before I tried to flash CyanogenMod. I used adb to push Paranoid Android 2.+ on to the /data/ partition, then wiped everything again and installed the ROM, but the result is the same - installation is a "success" but when I reboot, I get to watch a logo for eternity.

I'm not sure what I can or should do at this point and would appreciate any help. I don't know if the information is useful, but I'll post the details from bootloader. I also remember the software version of the stock ROM being 2.4.xxx - does this sound right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bvvq:
Hi xda,

I found my solution through further researching the forums:

I found a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2089305) that mentions the need to flash boot.img before flashing the ROM. I extracted boot.img from the CyanogenMod 10 zip and used adb to push it to the /data/ partition, and then flashed it using fastboot (described in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1752270). I rebooted to recovery and installed CyanogenMod 10, rebooted, and this time it went past the CyanogenMod logo after <60 seconds.

Thank you for having such a useful forum!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
You need to wipe everything not just cache and dalvik, Also u need to flash the correct gapps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bvvq:
Yes, thanks for the reminder. I did do a full wipe in TWRP before installing CyanogenMod each time, but I failed to mention that in the OP. Sorry!

The CyanogenMod Wiki (http: wiki.cyanogenmod.org index.php?title=Install_CM_for_evita#Installing_a_custom_recovery_on_One_XL) says to install GApps (http: goo.im gapps latest), which I did, but the Android keyboard would FC. I flashed without installing GApps from the previous link and there was no keyboard FC. Instead, I used the GooManager app to obtain and install GApps for me, and there is no keyboard FC.

Thanks for the reply!

I just came from 4.1 Touchwiz based roms and I really loved how I was able to pause while I'm shooting a video. But I just switched to 4.2 AOSP because I love AOSP, but the camera just doesnt have that feature. Im just wondering is there any modded camera apk that has this function? And why does Touchwiz have it but AOSP doesnt.. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
It's a tw feature. It's all in the TW framework. I doubt someone could just add it to aosp. I mean, unless Cyanogen does it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eddie Bombay:
TW > *

I hate to say it but Samsung finally got their **** together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
AOSP has always lacked camera features when compared to a manufacturer's own software. It's sort of an Achilles Heel for aosp which Google has been trying to rectify with additions like panoramic mode and now photosphere. Unfortunately photosphere is limited to nexus devices for now in CM10.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obaterista93:
Not entirely true. It was backported to the Rezound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Real_JESRadio:
I've had the 4.2 camera with working photosphere on 4 different sgs3 ROMs so far. Have the flashable zip always on my SD card ready for another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
You can get photosphere working on TW ROMs but you have to do a dance with the focusing if you want to take a normal picture without it force closing. I don't really consider that workable.

Secondly, I made that comment specifically in regards to CM's official statement that photosphere compatibility is restricted to Nexus devices in their nightly builds. I should have clarified.

Are GT-7105 rooting mechanisms ok for GT-7105T?

Hi guys,

I'd like to root my Telstra (TEL, Australia) GT-7105T but don't want to rush ahead as CF-Auto-Root devices don't list the 'T' suffix version. I imagine it would be fine - someone has already used it successfully - but I don't want to affect the function of the radios without realising it.

Any clues?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoff.Costello:
Hi :)

I have recently found that when I do a clean install of a ROM with a full wipe any contacts I created on the Phone are lost. I had thought they were backed up by Google / Samsung but it doesn't seem to be ATM. This also affects my daughters phone.

So does anyone have information / ideas that would help me move / transfer all the contacts that are just on the phone to somewhere like Google or Hotmail etc. where they will be safe. My daughter has hundreds and I recently lost a similar amount. Once I know where its easy to transfer contacts too, then I will create all my new contacts in that place as well.

Thanks in advance for any experience / suggestions.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Easiest option, I find, is to use just Google Contacts. You can export your SIM's contacts and import them on your phone into your Google account. After that the phone will sync the contacts automatically to the contact book in your online Google account. You could also e.g. create contacts in your online Google account and they will be synced to your phone and multiple devices. Link to Google Contacts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoff.Costello:
Thanks - My Contacts are now Synced to Google and Hotmail :)

Thanks so much. It worked better than I hoped. Once I imported my Contacts into Google - within a couple of minutes the phone showed all the Google contacts linked to / replacing (not clear to me) the ones in the phone. I think they are automatically linked by the phone in that when I deleted some in Google they stayed in the phone, but when I add to Google they appear as Google only in the phone. If I delete linked from the phone then it deletes Google as well..

For anyone finding this later I found this link; http://www.liveside.net/2012/02/26/google-is-now-a-connected-service-to-windows-live/ which explains that if you have a Windows Live Account (Hotmail,com, Live.com, Outlook.com etc) Windows Live will lookup all your Google Contacts too if you set it up. So good!!! This is just new this year. Works well too. Again best driven by the Phone Contacts which if I change or delete updates both..

I wiped the internal storage by mistake. I was in twrp and was able to push the cm10.1 and gapps zip to the device using adb. Now, when i try to flash them twrp says that it cannot open zip. I change permissions to 7777 but still cannot open it.

I am running latest twrp and trying to flash yesterday's cm10.1 nightly.

I have a mac, a pc running win8 and a laptop with linux. Mac and linux recognise adb but do not recognise the device. windows doesn't see the device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manasgirdhar:
Try adb pushing the files again.If it still does not flash then Return to Stock and After that try to flash cm10.1 again
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsspape:
Its most likely a corrupted file. Like the guy above me said try to re-push them through adb. Are you using the push command or are you sideloading the files through twrp's sideload option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DrkGhst87:
Alright so here's some background info first:

Verizon Galaxy S3, OTA'd to VRBLK3, rooted/unlocked using this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439), phone is pretty much stock other than TWRP recovery and the phone is rooted. I also froze only a few Verizon/Touchwiz apps. I've had the phone only for a few weeks now and rooted/unlocked since the OTA to VRBLK3. I've had zero issues after root.

Now onto the problem at hand:

I went to reboot my phone today after a browser freeze up and noticed a song playing when the phone booted up. It didn't go away... as I was going through App Processes looking for something that stood out as to what and why this song was playing and found nothing. Pulled down the notification bar and it stopped. Questioning what it was I went into ringtones and found out it was playing "Over the Horizon" ringtone... Rebooted again to see if it was just a fluke and again it played the song when the phone started up... This time the pull down of the notification bar didn't stop the music like I had thought. Pulled the battery and turned on the phone again to only hear the music start up again... The notification pull down stopped the music again and I've just left it alone and it hasn't started again.

I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this issue or if anyone has any insight as to how this happened. Mind you, I've been running my current setup of installed apps/settings for weeks with no issue on reboots. Now I've got a song that plays non stop whenever I reboot my phone... Other than a full wipe and starting all over any suggestions???

Sometimes Xposed and Wanam modules don't play well even when they aren't installed together. A lot of times its just a rogue module that interacts with another app or process.

Anyone know the best way of getting that Windows look for our device? I would like to get it as close as possible to an actual windows 7 phone.

Currently I've been searching around the market and downloading apps, such as Launcher7(windows 8 ran slower), Messaging 7, and WP7 lock for the lock screen. Basically i've smashed 5 or 6 different apps to get a windows 7 look, does anyone know of an easier way of getting the windows ui? Thanks.

You can install miui use one of the many wp7/themes and use launcher7. They do have launcher 8 but I find it not very efficient at least not last I used it. Also they probably have wp7 theme for cm10/aokp etc roms if you do Google search

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CodyRst:
Thanks for the response. :)

Also, i agree with the Launcher 8, seems that it not only runs slower, but also slows the entire phone down, unfortunately.

Did google miui wp7, as well as themes for cm10/aokp, but just having a bunch of different themed apps seems to be the closest I can get to what i want at the moment. Oh well. :)

Thanks

Does anyone else have the person they are talking to mention how low you sound to them when speaking on the phone?

It seems like I have a low microphone on my nexus 4, unless the phone is directly in front of my mouth the person can't hear me clearly, I'm thinking it might be hardware but I know with some phones this can be corrected with a custom driver that makes the microphone more receptive

Is there an app or setting that I can use that would disable noise cancellation in case that's what causing my mic to make me sound low?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _stefans_:
Actually I have the exact same problem - not sure what we can do to fix it.

If I crank up the volume fully it appears to -sometimes- solve the low audio problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _stefans_:
I'm starting to think the noise cancellation is playing some tricks.

While driving home this afternoon I was on headset on the freeway, where those I talked to could barely hear me.

Unplugged my headset (klipsch s4 image ii), and sound was good. After a while I plugged headset in again, still bad.

When coming off the freeway I kept the headset on while talking - and all of the sudden it was crystal clear (using the words of the guy I talked to at the time). At the same time I noticed that I had no data (outside even edge coverage), don't know if that is related or not.

Is there some way we could experiment / disable or tweak the noise cancelling?

Ps: I have had the same issues without headset also, so definitely something general software things going on
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastrgamr:
I had the same setup. I am using the Xylon (stable) 15 ROM for several days now, and SO FAR I think the microphone reception is better. I haven't heard complaint from the person I speak to on the regular. *cross fingers* hope it's 'fixed' in some way.

That's exactly how my phone was as well. I would be on one call for a while and all of a sudden out of nowhere the person I'm speaking to says I sound like I'm speaking across a room and I'm like 'wtf happened? I haven't changed positions since I started talking to you!'

I did a little testing with the person I was speaking to as well, to test the microphone receptiveness and the mic seems to pickup my voice better, I wasn't speaking directly into the mic and they said they heard me fine.

I have a sneaking suspicion It might have to do with the noise cancelation as well, I think on paper whoever designed that feature on the phone thought it would be cool but it doesn't seem to be panning out too well. I've read somewhere on this forum about how to increase microphone volume and cancel the noise cancellation using the Terminal Emulator app and/or the phone's dial codes (#*#*some sumbers*#*#).

I have the same earphones (no mic attached) and I have similar experience but I haven't taken note of it like you have since 95% of the time I have my headphones in the phone.

I also want to mention a little trick that I think seems to work when on calls. Whenever I turn the phone over, screen facing opposite of me, I hear less complaints of me sounding too low to the other person. Maybe it's doning something... i dont know. :rolleyes:
