I so wish the Pop was not so glossy on the back (in both white and black). Totally love the cover other than that. I currently have the the Seidio Surface in blue and it's pretty badass as well. Love the kickstand for this screen size.. Makes media consumption so much easier, especially when you're flying or sitting anywhere with a surface to keep the fone on. The one thing I did not like as much bout the Seidio was that the cover is comprised of two piece (top and bottom) and it tends to pop open sometimes.. Which is why I was so excited to see this CaseMate Pop. But not too sure bout the glossy back... would be a total fingerprint magnet I assume...
[General Accessories] vectron:
Why not look into Case-Mate Tough? That one is slimmer than Pop!, and although 2-piece design - feels like a slim one piece. I reviewed it HERE. It has a textured design that feels very nice in your hand and not slippery at all, although no kickstand. Right now Case-Mate is running 1-day only 30% sale with coupon code FLASH13

Regarding Seidio Surface, you know you can add CONVERT kit on top of it to turn into a super protection brick? ;) It will add bulk, but external CONVERT layer will keep Surface from popping open and adds extra drop protection with a new bigger holster. I'm getting CONVERT Value Pack for review soon, and will post it in the forum once I have it. Now, Note 2 users have a lot of choices ;)
[General Accessories] KT:
Thanks so much for the code and the advice. Appreciate it! :)

To answer your question, I wasn't considering the Tough case for that very reason; no kickstand. But with this 30% discount coupon, I think I might just pull the trigger. Always good to have multiple cases :D
[General Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I had white pop case then switched to the defender just bc i work in construction. I feel the pop would of protected my phone about in about 90% of the enviroments i work in but if my phone was to fall out my pocket while in an attic, rafters or just really high in general i dont think the pop would have protected my phone from the drop. I will say the pop was WAYYYY more comftorable in my hand then the defender. It slides on and off the phone very easily and i really liked the kickstand.
[General Accessories] KT:
Hmm... on second thoughts, I'll wait for something with the tactile feel of the Tough case and a kickstand. A 30% discount on a $40 case is $28 but I just checked and Amazon is selling the same case for $22 - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...922617&sr=8-1&keywords=case+mate+tough+note+2
[General Accessories] DoctorQMM:
If you want the blue w/grey, you can get the Note 2 Tough case for $19 shipped... figured I'd give it a shot... placed order couple hrs ago.

[General Accessories] vectron:
Wow, those are great values for 1/2 off. I remember they had FRIENDS50 coupon for 50% off from the website. On Amazon, you don't even need a coupon, and typically returns are hassle free (although this one is not fulfilled by Amazon). One thing to keep in mind as a main difference between Tough and Pop. Tough will be slimmer and lighter, no kickstand, 2 piece design, and nice textured back. Pop has a shiny smooth back that will collect more fingerprints and scratches, it's a bit thicker with a better grip side handles, single piece design that grips the phone very tightly, and a kickstand that practical only in landscape mode, and push buttons that are easier to press because its a softer rubber material versus Tough tpu-like bumpter. Quality of both is superb, design details are very unique, and they both will offer equal level of drop protection, although as bmoreboy02 pointed out - I wouldn't trust it in places where you are around construction or outdoor activities.
[General Accessories] KT:
Thanks for the link. Found a black one too for $18 and change :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] AndroidFTW11:
I've heard and read so many complaints about this tablet and I'm unsure why. I love this this. I put CleanROM 3.3 with the clemsyn 1.8 GHz kernel and it flies. I'm usually the only person who uses my tablet, but my friend had a party where I had my tablet, so I hooked it up to the Bluetooth speaker and let other people mess with it. Everyone who touched it was impressed. Some a few of them were iPad users or owners and they kept saying how much better the screen (even compared to the retina ipad) on this was and were jealous of widgets and true multitasking. Just thought I'd share the little positivity about this product .
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well said and nice story! :good: :good: I love mine too and even my wife, who was asking what I do with all my time ;) , had a play she couldn't believe how much better than her iPad3 it was :) She now wants a CROMI'd Asus. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] soyusado:
Nice story, I couldn't be more agree with you, even without Data2SD patch, my tablet flies thanks to sbdags (CROMI 3.3), right now I'm using today's TF700: Hundsbuah 1.3 - 1.8ghz 650GPU Kernel and it seems even smoother than yesterday.

Some people talk about the resolution on the Nexus 10, but I rather change some screen resolution for some speed.

Some comparisson point between our tablet and the ipad 4 is the 4G support but even then, I use my phone as a hotspot and can use Internet anywhere so we have a very powerful tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Excellent!

We also have an iPad and prefer the Asus in it's modified state.

The stock browser performance is just off the charts with the latest CROMi
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
I enjoy the tablet and it is on stock software but rooted. I think it runs smooth and does what I need it to with no problems. But a few of us have some frustration since the unlock tool still won't work with our units. I'm sure this tablet is much more with the tweaked roms but some people can't get those unless the tool unlocks the unit. I've been trying for about 4 weeks now. That doesn't mean we hate the device. I still love it but would like the ability to test different roms to find the performance and features I like.

I'm not sure how people are really getting tablets with the dire issues they claim. Mine has been running better with the latest firmware than it did out of the box. Maybe they are very picky, see every flaw as the end of the world, and letting things get to them too much. Don't hold on to it thinking it will get better better after 15/30 day return window. If you see a lag that bothered you, return it, and get another one or try a different brand. Hold on to it beyond return window and it's your fault for not acting sooner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] neo1738:
Personally I'm on stock and love my tab. Sometimes (rarely) it lags a little as does the browser (Browser2Ram fixes this mostly) but some people are upset that they would have to break warranty, unlock, and flash some other software onto the tab. They think (and rightfully so) it should work correctly right out of the box. Like I said love my tab wouldn't trade it and the docking capability for anything out there but I do agree with those who are having problems.

For the most part I use player pro and sync with mediamonkey. But lately I've been wondering what everyone else uses.

Hi,

I changed a few lines in my build prob so I could nab a free apk from the market, but I think I changed a few to many lines!

Now when I go to start my phone, after the initial logo, it hangs on a black screen.

Before I mess things up even more I was hoping for some advise on the best root to take, im thinking something that would flash a new build.prop file onto it so maybe flash stock through KDZ files like here....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723

Hoping someone might help saying this probably work, I dont want to mess the phone up further. It was unlocked and on stock recovery when I did this, thanks for any advise!

Editing build.prop to get free apps from google play?

Sounds like warez talk and dangerous for me!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] medseven:
It was for the Now Tv app by Sky. Its a subscription service like lovefilm and netflix,I have signed for the service and can view in a browser, but the for the app is for viewing on your phone, and not in a browser. As long as you have a subscription with them.

Thing was they only allow the (free) app for download on some HTC and Samsung devices, so I was just editing the build.prop to make my phone look like a HTC so I could download the app and give it a try on the off chance it gunna work!

Thing is I editied a few to many lines and have the problem above, not sure where to go exactly, dont want to perma brick the phone or anything!!!

does ADB work for you?

if yes, you could try tu push the build.prop via adb...

Use the non final version of the Rom, it doesn't have those animations.

Edit: you could also disable animations entirely in developer settings.

[Desire HD General] scaryshark:
Hi everybody,

I'm sorry to say bye to you guys because you've all been so awesome ever since I stumbled across XDA over 3 years ago.

I've had my good 'ol faithful DHD since (one week after) launch day and thanks to all you committed dev's here it's become much more awesome since!

But... I'm sorry to say that it'll now probably become relegated to the sock drawer, also I'll probably not be using XDA much now because my next phone is a.... Windows Phone! :crying:

Yes, that cry is justified! I've gotten hold of a brand new HTC 8X for the princely sum of £0.00 (which to my friends across the pond is FREE!) so I'll probably not have much reason to visit not only these forums but interact with society a whole anyway - because as we all know, WP cant do anything.

It's sad to go now guys & gals and I wish there was some way to thank-nuke all the amazing dev's past and present which have all rallied together for this amazing little device, you have all made it an amazingly friendly community all bound by the weirdest passion we all share - tinkering with a little (big) 4.3" HTC android phone built in 2010 - but to me at least, and I assume many more, our DHD's were more than just a phone. It was our own personal wee android butler. :laugh:

BYE! :D

[HTC EVO 3D] thephanatik:
Kind of a long story behind the phone, so I'll keep it short.

Previous owner had it for like a month, installed a custom kernel that Wi-Fi didn't work in.

I Installed stock rooted rom and stock kernel. I've been getting update notifications for the last month, but the updates didn't work, the phone would just restart and I'd get the notification again. I had the radio resource interface shortage at least weekly.

So, I RUU'd it, locked HBOOT, installed the update to get the new radio firmware, etc. I would have left it stock, but I want tethering, which doesn't work for me in the stock ROM.

What I have right now:

NegaLite-BluRom 1.7a

HBOOT 1.57.0000 (S-ON) (unlocked)

4ext Touch

Stock Kernel

My problem with this is Wi-Fi just says "error" and won't turn on. The same problem I had when I first got the phone.

I tried installing the ButteredToasT ICS RLS16 kernel through 4ext, but I get an error trying to write the image "assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")" I tried replacing that line in the updater-script with:

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5"),

delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

That gives me an assert failed: package_extract_file(...) error.

So basically, I'm just looking to try to get my Wi-Fi to work now.

Everything was wiped before installing the ROM and I also cleared the cache + dalvik before trying to install the kernel and tried clearing it again after it booted and didn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] thephanatik:
I wiped the whole phone and tried installing the ROM again and the included kernel stuck this time. Everything's working as far as I can tell.

Hi I was hoping some one may be able to give me some help or pointers as to which files I need to pull from the Oppo Find 5 firmware to allow me to compile or push the Dirac HD sound app to various devices. If you are unsure as what Dirac is take a look here.

www-dirac-se Dirac HD Player

It has been around for some time for IOS and now appears comes as standard on the Oppo Find 5, it really is a great app and opens up the soundstage, it is not like Beats audio it actually does really make a difference. I know they will some time in the future make this available for Android, but I thought I would see what I could achieve before that.

The files I think I need to start with are the following:

MusicFX.apk

MusicFX.odex

Libdirac.so

Libdolby.so

I have uploaded the Oppo fw to my Dropbox so if any one would be kind enough to take a look or give me some pointers It would be most appreciated.

Due to my low post count I can not link to my dropbox or Dirac, but would gladly PM anyone interested.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtc399:
I have a big problem..

On the internal SD there's the folder Android/Data - there's another folder that I can't delete.

Reason I want to delete it is the fact, that there's something wrong with one of the cache folders.

Properties shows me size of 64.7GB (!!!!!) and there are some files with cryptic data names in it...

I tried everything: Root Explorer (phone is rooted with Wanamlite 4.1.2, v14.1), Formating USB Storage, Access from Recovery...

No way to get rid of this funny folder that is 5 times bigger than USB storage actually is;)

Any idea what I could do?

Thank you for your help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:
I think this is a bug.... Do you have more than 70gb on the phone? How can you have a 67gb folder on the phone?

Use Clean Master (free on the Market) to clear space. Don't go deleting files/folders that seem large.

Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtc399:
Hi - yes it is a bug - 67GB are impossible - the folder is on the internal SD (12GB space if empty).

Problem is that this folder "influences" phone functionality...from time to time my phone tells me that I don't have space left on the internal SD Card..At the same time Storage-Manager tells me that there are 7GB left..

After a Reboot phone works normal until this buggy folder is accessed by the system..then again "no space"..

That's why I would like to deleted the cache folder. But folder can't be deleted...I tried everything..just "format emmc" from recovery is left.

Any idea how I can access the folder an delete?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maneby:
My SGS2 has a variety of issues. Typical bootsequence: phone boots without mounting external sdcard. Writing permissions to internal sd works only after ~20% of the reboots. I mount external sd manually through menu option. After this step writing permissions to internal sd never works.

I used the app DiskUsage and noticed that a particular folder had files occupying tens of gigabytes. The folder was: /storage/sdcard0/android/data/com.ideashower.readitlater.pro/files/ril_offline/ril_assets/cdn3.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images , which belongs to the Pocket application.

(While scanning, the app goes to ~460% and warns that the filesystem might be cyclic or something similar.)

I already tried this and it didn't work:

delete folder/its files with ES File Explorer

delete folder with terminal (having superuser access)

delete folder via adb

I always got an error message saying I only have read access to these files. Changing the permissions doesn't work with either adb or superuser terminal. (This particular lack of permissions for these files is not the same as the lack of writing permissions to the whole sdcard.)

I did however just now regain writing permission to internal sdcard by freezing the Pocket app with Titanium backup (equivalent to uninstalling). This was inspired by the post by xtc399 above saying that

. I have also read somewhere else that the existence of folder(s) with tons of files creates the problem with writing permissions to internal sdcard, and my Pocket read-list is huge thereby downloading very many files to android/data/.

The big files are still there. Could it be a hardware problem in the memory? And it seems related to the permission issue on internal sdcard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel.kuerner:
I had the same problem: I could not open the gallery and other apps due to insufficient space. On my 16 GB USB memory, I also found huge files (412 GB) that belonged to the Pocket app (former Read It Later), with cryptic file names. The path was: sdcard0/android/data/com.ideashower.readitlater.pro/files/ril_offline/ril_assets/...

I tried deleting the files and formatting the USB storage - unfortunately without success, as you all described. Then I found this solution which solved the problem:

https://marcowue.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/howto-korrupten-internen-speicher-sdcard-unter-android-fixen/

Following the instructions (in german language), i successfully used adb and the partitioning tool parted to reset the partion. The reason was a corrupt file system, which forced the USB storage into a read-only mode. To solve this issue, you will need a rooted device.
