[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spencer:
I was in the middle of an flash backup (the one that saves your settings in case the battery goes dead I think?) and pressed the cancel button then my XDA just hung. So i did a soft reset and now all i get is the xda-developers.com rom image and it wont go any further. I have tried a hard reset but still get the same results. Have done soft reset as well and same happens. Have a broken it or have I wiped something from the ROM. Is is just a case of reloading the rom again from the SD card? I have downloaded a rom version onto sd card but cant seem to get the xda to read from sd card. It just offers me the option to copy to sd not from sd card. :(

Any help much appreciated
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
If the sd card that was in the xda was the same one that you backed up your rom to, it is now useless for the purpose of restoring the rom. The backup program on the xda would have overwritten the backup from the bootloader as far as I know so you will need to write the sd card again using tools available on the forum in conjunction with sd card reader/writer.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spencer:
I have downloaded a different rom version from Jeffs kitchen onto sd card but cant seem to get the xda to read from sd card. It just offers me the option to copy to sd not from sd card. There is no option to write it to the xda. Am i missing something obvious on the xda re which buttons to press to do this?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
You cant just copy the file to sd, it has to be written to the card using tools available on the forum, if it written correctl the xda will see it when in bootloader mode and will write it to rom once you confirm that you want it to.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spencer:
is it the xdatools software that i need as i have tried that and it doesnt seem to work when inserted into the xda
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spencer:
it is ok now. I have fixed it. Thanks anyway.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:

So what was the problem?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spencer:
xdatools didnt copy across the files correctly (or I messed them up somehow which is more likley!).

Hello, last night i installed the l7 overclocking kernal and pushed my phone to the max. This morning I powered my phone on only to be greeted by the lg logo and nothing after that. I tired wiping the dalvik cache, wiping the cache and re-installing the kernal. I am using a p705 model running cm10 18 nightly. Is there anything I can do?

I have the following ROM : [ROM][March 7][4.2.2] SmoothROM v5.0-Smoothest ROM-Deodex-Zipalign-Tablet UI-Stable

Now i have an 32GB usb stick (scandisk cruzer blade) on an otg cable (this works fine) on my N7. The stick ist ntfs formated.

In settings i can see it and also the right size.

But when i want to copy on it, it doesn´t work. Also i can´t create a new directory. Any ideas? Later i will try another stick
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico_60:
Do you see your stick in a file explorer?

Yes, i can see it. In the root directory there are the directories emulated and sdcard0. Also there is a directory usbdevice and nothing in there. But there are files on it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malsii:
AW: [Q] Can´t write on USB storage

Ok. The stick seems to be the Problem. Another one, 4gb, is no problem. Write and read. Another file explorer says, there are no writing rights for the bigger stick? How can i change this. And what is the favourite file system on my Device?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] ryoen:
Hello, guys

I'm looking for a good case for my GS2 i9100...

It has to be: dual layer protection...

I found those two: Otterbox commuter series, and Mate-case tough.

Which one is the best? Or, are there other good cases on the market?

And if you got one, what are your experiences?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stastos:
I have the Trident Aegis case and I really recommend it. I looked at the Otterbox Commuter but the back was slicker than what I wanted because I tend to have things fall out of my pockets and I didn't want my phone to be one of them. The Trident Aegis has a silicone underlayer that reveals itself at the bulked up corners and bevel, and has headphone and charging jack cover flaps to keep dust out. It's top layer is hard plastic but it has almost a soft, smooth texture to it that doesn't slide around as much. I've dropped this phone at least 10 times already and it's completely unscathed. Definitely check it out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ryoen:
Thnx, I will check those out :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ryoen:
I looked at it, it seems give good protection to your phone, fit nicely, but it looks a little too bulky for me..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] freshlycutlawn:
In my opinion Trident has the most protective cases while otter box may be more practical if you don't need the extra level of safety
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ryoen:
Thank you,

I was looking for a cover where my phone was protected, the cover had to be good protection, but also a little stylish, not to bulky.

I also think trident and ballistic has the best protection, but I dont like the look so much...

So I made my decision and ordered a mate-case tough...

But I also need a good screen protection (but not too expensive), because I put my phone always in my pocket, sometimes with keys...

I always had a flipcover, that gives also protection for my screen... But I bought also the Exomount 2: universal car mount, which is an awesome mount, I'm very happy with that...

However with a mount, you can't use a flipcover, because you have to flip the cover to the back... So It wont fit nicely... (I hope you understand what i'm trying to say).

So I had to make a decision... A flipcover so I would protect my screen of scratches of my keys (but difficult to use in the car mount) OR a dual layer protected cover without a flipcover + screen protector... (and easy to use in the car mount)

So I want to use the cover anytime and everywhere... (I'm not planning for changing covers for each event), so it had to be a little stylish and not too bulky...

I hope that I made the right decision...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] czonin:
Just noticed that SGP has a few new accessories listed for the GS4 plus a great deal along with it. If you buy any of their GS4 products, you get a free screen protector along with it, which i'd assume is their Ultra Crystal. For anyone that hasn't used these protectors in the past they are hands down the best on the market as far as clarity, and glass like feel. They have 3 cases available plus one more "coming soon" along with a leather pouch. I'm not sure which of the cases I'm going to get yet as they all look really nice. Here's the link to the page: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases.html

yea, i agree. the slim armor looks nice. I might pair that up with the glas.t. this will be a work phone...i only get one!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Liebow27:
I have the SGP Slim Armor in the Black/Red on my iPhone 5 (IMO - this purchase was not well informed). Regardless, of what phone I have the case is AMAZING. Adds no bulk and is made extremely well. My only gripe with this case is the headphone jack hole in the case is not big enough for when I plug it into my AUX input and I have to take it off every time. Other than this small gripe, I highly recommend this case!

Have you ever used tempered glass screen protector before?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lifeshoutslive:
I used one on my Galaxy SII, it was, hands down, e best screen protector I've ever used, regarding cleaning and clarity. The problem was that it didn't work that well with cold fingers in Winter (I used the kernel which made it work while charging, so that wasn't the problem). But that was the first tempered glass protector SGP had developed, so I think they've improved them greatly. Since the Galaxy S4 also works with gloves, I suppose the Winter-problem to be gone, the only remaining question is which cases are going to work with the glass, I had a Neo Hybrid back then (which was a pain in general, I've seen much better TPU-cases, this one was fluffy as hell); the sides always slipped between the glass and the Case itself, which produced a 'roll'. The glass should be either bigger (to be completely overlapped) or smaller (to give the cases room), I don't know if SGP has changed this. I'm going with the SGP Ultra Fit Hardcase and the glas.Tr which I suppose to work together.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tony1208:
How well do these cases protect your phone ? I have always used the otter box commuter case for all my cells and it worked well when dropping my cell. I have never heard of this brand and was wonder how well it would protect my s4 when dropping it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lifeshoutslive:
It depends which one you're using, the Ultra Fit which I'm going for is more for aesthetics, although it will protect the phone from light falls, e.g. falling under the table. It might plop off, but fortunately, that didn't happen for me so far. The Neo Hybrid and the Slim Armor are offering better protection since they are TPU and polycarbonate; but none of these is an Otterbox Commuter (which is, in my opinion, over-the-top-protection, phones usually don't get into situaitons where they need such a big puffer; I've always been fine with slimmer cases and a good screen protector, the ones made from glass are hands down the best here, shattering before your actual screen suffers). If you're using your phone in dangerous environments, then you should go with Otterbox/CaseMate, otherwise, my advice for something slimmer yet protecting is standing.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Bradden1:
I'm confused by the different screen protectors spigen offer.. can someone please recommend one..

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
so you guys are aware, i asked spigen themselves how thick and heavy the slim armor case is....

"Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Hanna from Spigen.com.

Thank you for your recent order with us!

The slim armor will add on about 2mm on each side for the length and about 1.5mm on each side for the width. The case itself will add about 3-4 ounces of weight to your phone.

These are all approximations since we do not have the actual case available as of yet. "

not bad! the phone itself is 7.9mm plus 1.5mm on each end 10.9mm thick with the case on. 85-115 grams on the case plus 130 grams for the phone.

obviously it adds a tiny bit of bulk but for the protection you get, who could argue?

Would just like to add that the SPG Optics screen protector is beautiful. First time I had tried one from the Optics range and it will be the type I stick with for all future devices.

Never have to clean it for fingerprints and the clarity is great. The "feel" of it is interesting (It's made of small microbumps) so you have to get used to that but it's not a bad feeling in any way.

Nothing like them silly wet application "rubber feel and orange peel" screen protectors I've used in the past.

The screen protector you got is really good. I've been using it for a few days now. It feels just like swiping on the screen without it. I love it.

I just ordered this case for a friend, however, I am looking for a flip case with exactly the same material inside, mainly covering the complete sides of my phone. But the one thing that i am dont like in this flip case is square shaped.. which makes it bulky. A flip case having the outer look exactly like Nillkin cases...is what I am seeking.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TADitto:
I've searched around but can't seem to find out how exactly to see the number of times I've flashed custom firmware. I know my GN2 shows that it's modified when you check thru settings/about device/status but how exactly do you check the actual counter? I read that you can do it thru download mode but for the life of me can't figure out how. Also read you could thru triangle away as well but you have to be on stock firmware and have to buy the app. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
Turn off the phone and hold volume down + home button + power and the phone will go into a screen that talks about custom firmware. Just hit power up to go into download mode and then your flash count is in the upper left corner. Yes triangle away will reset it.

Hi,

some of you know DesignLab http://mobil.designlab.de/skins.shtml They created the XDA Skin Chooser. I installed it on my MDA II yesterday and want to delete it now. Everything is de-installed (application itself and most of the skins, I think) only one is left! Also using Recso Explorer and searching at the Registry won't show me the last one: the one you can see when having a look at your last calling list.

Right now I need your help. I love "clean" systems and therefor I really want to delete EVERYTHING of XDA Skin Chooser http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...A7ionId=0&productType=2&siteId=1&platformId=2

Please tell me where elese I can take a look...

Thanx very much...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fraggle Rock Escapee:
Did it work OK

Hi,

Can't help with the de-installing bit - Sorry

However I just want to ask did the 'XDASkinChooser' software work OK on a XDA II, I want to change my skin but want to make sure the software works OK first. Handango where I downloaded it from said it was for the XDA only not the XDA II.

Good luck with the de-install
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] GoldenHands:
It depens on the fact if you have installed it in the default map.

I installed it om my storage card. There you get several folders, one of them called the XDAsinchooser. with an empty skin subfolder. There are also other folders created, called wood and chrome, with a subfolder skin.

Anyway: look where the pictures are in the subfolders. The subfolder containing the pictures must be moved to the skin subfolder in the XDAskinchooser folder.

I have only added the wood and chrome folder and added a Kyliekin folder. All the rest I removed using the programm deinstaller in the setting>...etc

When installing the xdaskinchooser on your XDAII choosing to install on your storagecard, you'll be prompted if you want to replace several items by older ones. I tried several times not to. But that doesn't work.

When choosing replace all. Everything's OK.

Works fine for me on my Qtek 2020 (=XDAII)

Otherwise use the XDAskinchooser to install the default one and then deinstall all...

By then you must have your orriginal skin back. Also on your last call list.

I read through much of the threads regarding the N10 display. The light bleed on mine is there, but it doesn't bother me.

What I do notice especially on a white background is the top (landscape) of the screen seems to be slightly darker along the entire top edge. This seems to extend down about 1/2 and inch. It is especially noticeable with the kindle app when the screen brightness is high.

Anyone else notice this or are my eye just getting old?

I do a lot of reading on my tablet so the sharper display (replacing a Xoom) is certainly a big plus. The dark band is more of a distraction when reading especially when I'm thinking about it while reading!
