Speaking about dropped phone, you better start thinking about toilet proofing them :D

http://m.cbsnews.com/storysynopsis....7370699&feed_id=5&videofeed=41&nb_splitPage=2

I think a well made protective case is an excellent deterrent to having to deal with the headaches of going through insurance, if you have any, to replace your broken device. The headaches consist of receiving a defective replacement (I know ;)) etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Soldier 2.0:
I use the tpu case that comes with the zero lemon extended battery. My phone is heavier and thicker, but it gives me 14 hours screen on time. It is totally worth the extra weight.

Found it really sturdy, well designed and protects the phone like a shock absorber, Yea.... already managed to drop the phone.

Overall love it!!

OtterBox commuter hands down if u have young children. My son drops and tosses my s4 a couple times every single day. Not even a scratch on it. It would have been broken months ago if not for the case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
I have the Otterbox Defender Case since the week I bought my phone. Is an amazing case if you're okay with some bulk. It actually makes the phone easier to handle.

Otterbox Defender

Having gone through the 150.00 insurance b***sh** after dropping a weight on it with a lesser cover, Otterbox Defender is definitely the way to go.

Since modifying OMX cores, ibstagefright, and the qdsp service were unsuccessful in enabling full hardware acceleration in videos, and camcorder...

How about if their leader (the adreno 200 drivers) is the culprit of all the sluggish hardware acceleration! on the ARMv6 phones like ours.

Going to the point, has anyone made a pursuit in modifying the drivers itself? like forcing the drivers to be compatible with the modified libstagefright and also OMX cores? coz it seems they function as a whole, i mean, there is some sort of unity going on when they're in operaiton. (just an opinion)

Since Qualcomm released these drivers, how about the connections going to the OMX cores, ligstagefright, or even the qdsp service? Did they modified it? or just remained the same, like the drivers in GB?

Coz I gotta feelin' that the drivers is the bug here...

From what I have read in this post "Fixing the OMX Driver problem in ICS"

maybe from here there should be some very useful info in getting along the OMX cores and codecs, and the adreno drivers

Hopin' this could really help in improving ICS in our devices. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] polfrank:
Can I ask one possibly silly question...? Video acceleration is flawles on jellybean, right? How can it be fully functional in JB and not in ICS...? I mean... Was any kind of driver released on JB and not on ICS...?
[HTC Wildfire S] 4ndaKava:
After JB was released, there was no point to continue work on ICS. So our devs continued their work on JB and found a way to get it work.
[HTC Wildfire S] thepastormarty:
ooh. okay, that's odd. hardware video acceleration works on JB, while the adreno drivers are based on ICS? Afaik, the ICS drivers were used in JB and it worked, but when it comes to the OMX, like we already knew, HW acceleration works after some modding on the core libraries (right?)

If the ICS drivers are not used in JB, the devs might knew something about this (Driver - OMX). :D

man! I think it's time to reverse engineering the OMX cores, together with the QDSP service (I think, its his master) then :))
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gogorman:
Using my phone today with Task's latest AOKP and it rebooted.

Now it displays SD card corrupt message.

It is not recognized in cwm either.

What do I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gogorman:
Any ideas?

Will I have to repatriation? If so, what's the best guide to follow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Reformat the uSD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gogorman:
How might I do that?

Using Odin?

If not, would you be able to give me some insight or directions?

Thanks

If you are a fan of rugged yet slim cases, definitely take a look at the Urban Armor Gear case for the Galaxy S4. The case consists of a shock-absorbing inner rubber layer, and a rigid plastic mid-shell. Each corner has been reinforced with thick rubber to protect your phone from those deadly corner drops. UAG offers the case in four colors and includes a screen protector. At $35, this case contends with the Otterbox Defender and SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor.

In my opinion, this case bests both the Otterbox and SPIGEN in two important areas. First, it's much slimmer that the Otterbox Commuter, while offer similar protection. Second, it has much taller lip than the SPIGEN Slim Armor.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AndroidFanNetwork:
It looks legit to me, but your mileage may vary. It's only $5 cheaper, so not very suspicious.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
Hey thanks for the nice review. Could you elaborate more on the included screen protector? I was leaning towards a glass screen protector and a cheaper case but now I'm leaning towards the UAG and using the included one. I really don't want to pay more than $35 on protection between cases and screen protectors. As far as non-glass screen protectors go how is the UAG one?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KSAMJ:
it is not 5$ cheaper

the price on checkout is $21.45 ... so it is more than 12 $ cheaper

anyone can confirm this is genuine ?????
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AzWizzard:
Thanks for the review... I think I will be ordering 1!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] eurominican:
In for best place to buy from the cheapest possible. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AndroidFanNetwork:
I haven't installed it since I have a dummy phone, but it feels like your typical $3 screen protector from Acase or Halo. I've never used a glass screen protector, but I guess it's safe to assume this one isn't as high quality.

I'll try to post a case and screen protector giveaway on our site tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AzWizzard:
Thanks! I bought one yesterday. Shopandriod has them in stock for $29.95 + I had a 15%off coupon and got free shipping. Should be here Fri or Sat!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trmiv:
This really is a great case. Protective, but slim. I have the aero, but I'm really tempted to use that 15% off coupon at Shopandriod to get the white one too.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Do you know what the dimensions are of this case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] .Pie:
Best price

It appears it is since imarine.com has a BBB score of 'A' and a good Reseller Review. They charge 8.95 flat-rate shipping though so it still ends up being about 30 bucks.

I picked mine up off of epal (shopepal.com) for $25 and free shipping. Was a little hesitant at first but they are a US based seller and also have an A+ BBB rating. Should be legit. I can't post links since I just joined but you can find them with an easy search.

Ill follow up when it is delivered to confirm.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AzWizzard:
Received my White UAG case today from Shopandroid. LOVE IT! Fits great, size is great, perfect case for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trmiv:
Anyone have the orange one? I have the Aero, and I may add another color to the mix but I'm torn between the Orange and white. I have a black mist S4

Just ordered the scout color from shop android. $25 and free shipping can't beat it!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] silverds:
Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG...

Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG, here are my opinions.

As far as looks, the Galaxy S4 with Spigen Slim Armor (Metal Slate) looks like something James Bond might slip out of the inside pocket of his tuxedo. The Galaxy S4 with UAG (Scout) looks like something a Navy Seal might wrestle out of a tactical vest during a firefight.

I have dropped my Galaxy S4 while equipped with the Spigen Slim Armor. The fall was from about 4 feet high onto an unpadded hardwood floor. The case landed the top left corner as evidenced by a temporary "bruise" in the TPU but the phone was completely unharmed. However, it was that fall that inspired me to purchase the UAG case.

The UAG is, itself, a very slim case. I was expecting more bulk but was very pleasantly surprised. The increased depth of the UAG is, almost completely, attributed to the protective "lip" that surrounds the screen. Though, I still prefer the Spigen Slim Armor for slipping in and out of my pockets or for when I don't want my Galaxy S4 to look so "tactical", I prefer the UAG for everything else.

One specific trait about the UAG case that makes it a great utility case is that it has an incidental cavity behind the "UAG" logo that's perfect for carrying additional MicroSD cards, if you are one of us who often carry additional cards.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flu13:
Are they just in there loose and jostling about? Not that I necessarily think that will do anything bad, just curious.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] silverds:
They do slide around a bit in the space. I have a couple ideas to prevent them sliding about but it hasn't been too much of a concern to make it an urgent necessity.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dunstan92:
Hi, does anyone has any problem with the earphone port?

I am currently using a Shure SE-215 earphone. Have been trying out several cases and most of them are incompatible with my earphone. Incompatible as in, I can't plug it in deep enough for my phone to detect the earphone. It is due to the casing's port being too small for my earphone jack.

The jack is a L-shape jack. I've attached a picture of the earphone jack.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jaydubbbbs:
All the jacks I use for with no issue, but none of mine look like yours, did you have an issue fitting it into a UAG? Or are you curious about the hole size?

Going by my trusty Stanley, mind you I'm a cabinet maker so I am particular about exact measurements, the Jack measures 11/32. The Jack you pictured, looks real close. You might be able to cram a 3/8 in there
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dunstan92:
Thank you for your help. I'm curious about the hole size. I had issue fitting in other cases, including the SGP Neo Hybrid.

It is the plastic part of the jack which is pretty wide, making it almost impossible to plug in perfectly for a lot of cases, since most cases are designed to accommodate the original Samsung earphones.

EDIT : I've attached a photo of the measurement of my earphone jack. what are your opinion?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jaydubbbbs:
It looks like it would be tight. But the hole has a little flex to it. I think you could get it to fit. I know I could, if needed, I would use an exacto knife and cut out the littlest of the rubber I could. Good luck! And watch out for fakes if you go with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Well, 1 cm = 0.394 inch (your headphone jack plug diameter), while the opening measures 11/32 in. (0.343 in.) So, no go. You could always ream the hole a bit too enlarge it. It's fairly hard plastic, so it should be pretty easy to work on. Alternatively, you could shave down the headphone plug a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dunstan92:
Thanks for the advice! I might consider ream the hole a bit to enlarge it.

My earphone cost me around RM330 which would be somewhere around 100usd. Would not want to do anything on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] someguyatx:
You can also try a headphone jack extension cord with a round plug style.

Why does this case weaken my data signal?? I had this same case for the s3 and it was fine. I take the case off I have almost full bars, put it back on and I have 1 or no bars.. Why? :(

Sold my s3 on ebay with the UAG case, here is a pic of the s3 next to my s4. I think the case has improved in feel.

UAG compatible dock

Does anyone use at desktop charging dock with their UAG case? I need to get a dock that will fit with the UAG case.

Anyone have any recommendations?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] HKSpeed:
Galaxy Note 2 owners say UAG revised their cases in 2013 with better quality materials and fit. They say you can tell difference between the first and second batches of UAGs. I presume the S3 case was made the old way and the S4 is the new design.

Does this case fit with 0.4 glass protectors? I have perfectly installed cheap glass protector similar to spigen glas.tr and I dont want to take it off.

Signal strength decrease?

I read on the german amazon site that somebody had issues with phone signal strength after using this case. Can anybody confirm this? Or is it just the same as without using the case?

Just following up that I received mine from these guys about a week ago. It's legit.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ITALIANNYC:
I just ordered this from amazon last night for 21 dollars. Coming tomorrow. Have not even gotten my phone yet from T-Mobile. Cant wait to put it on.

I really liked the SPG cases, but just by looking at it, I would never trust that to protect my phone from drops. Way to thin. That case is more for looks than protection.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] anindrew:
This case does look interesting. It looked quite a bit thicker than the Slim Armor, but upon watching the video review, it actually looks fairly thin. I notice the Slim Armor has the same small curved plastic piece over the speaker cutout that the phone's rear cover has. This causes the phone not to be flush with the surface of a desk/table, which allows the sound out of the rear speaker to be heard loud and clear.

I notice the UAG has small raises feet on each corner on the back. Does the UAG cause muffled/muted sound from the phone when placed down on a table (screen would be facing up)? Or can you hear it loud and clear?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lzk123:
Sound doesn't seem to be muffled. It is still quite loud.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
Is this case available in any stores in Canada? I prefer to try on the case before buying.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] PostMeridianLyf:
Just got mine in today! Had the white one on my s3 and loved the way it looked and felt. Perfect fit. Ordered the black one for my black s4 (well blue) and it came with the home button sticker. Makes my phone looked blacked out.

Also, I ordered a iloome glass screen protector 9h and it fits perfectly with this case! That was my mistake on the white s3 I had. No screen protector so when it fell face first on some rocks it shattered.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Opacac:
Nope, but I can tell you it's a very nice case. Had it for my Note 2 and still looked like new 3 months later. Best place to buy would be amazon.ca
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sirdicholas:
I had an urban armor for my s3, and the first thing I did when I got my s4 was order another urban armor case. Love these cases. They look great, they're not to bulky, and they really do protect. Just the other day I dropped my phone about 4 feet onto concrete with out a scratch.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] japper88:
Do the UAG cases get loose over time? I've had some TPU cases which although better than silicon over time (e.g. 1 year) seem to get a little loose and not as tight.

I think I am going to get a UAG case with a glass screen protector regardless!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mnazary:
So I got the white one for my black S4. Going back and forth between this and my Spigen Neo Slate I am rotten which one I like more. The slate looks a bit more elegant. While the UAG feels like it can take a lot more abuse and feels slightly more comfortable in the hands. It seems bigger yet it conforms to my hands better than the Spigen. The lip on the UAG is thicker and harder than Spigen. Last thing. The UAG logo on the back is can be mistaken for gen ha.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sirdicholas:
I have not experienced any stretching after about a year with my s3.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] japper88:
Thanks! I think I am going to get the black one...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] justreboot:
I got mine (slate blue) from iMarine last month / nice shop / they even called me to tell me when to expect it. I got it a day after I received the phone (back in May). Really got it more for the grip than protection. I never did a screen protector on any of my phones. How is the glass, does it impede on speed/use of the phone, or close to original response?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
Does the UAG case for the S4 let a lot of dust/pocket lint into the case? I hate having to clean the dust/lint out and always worrying that it might scratch the back.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sirdicholas:
It does around the micro USB port but that's it. Takes 5 seconds to clean with a little water and ear swab
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flipq88:
This is the best case you can get for great protection and not bulky, I can't say enough how much I love these cases, I have the white one and the black one.

Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mnazary:
So after having this after a few days, I'm definitely loving it. Grips in my hand very well, great quality, feel like it can take quite a bit of abuse. Do like the function of this case over my Neo Hybrid. Aesthetics, I would give the Spigen the slight edge but still love this UAG.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
anyone from canada order this? or know a place where I can order it?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ponts:
Do you still have any lip left on the front of the case after u installed the iloome?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] PostMeridianLyf:
The UAG case has a lip just perfect for the iloome protector. When I first out the iloome on it was not straight and left a little space on the edges but I realigned it and the lip of the case sits perfectly flush around the phone and iLoome
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ponts:
If u lay it on the table face down are the edges raised enough so it does not sit on the screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
I'm not too comfortable ordering stuff online but It's looking like Amazon.ca is the only place you can order from Canada. Has anybody ordered from Amazon . ca?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] PostMeridianLyf:
Yes I can't lay it down and the glass will not touch the table. The iloome glass is not even thicker that a plastic screen protector imo
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
Yeah from CASE123 eh? I wonder if he sells legit cases. I have no problem buying from amazon though as they have awesome customer service.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
yeah CASE123 is pretty much the only seller I found. What happens if I order the case and it turns out to be a fake? Does amazon offer me a return or am I out of luck?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
If its a fake you contact the seller and they will refund. If they dont you contact amazon and they will make him refund you cause they wont allow that kind of transaction on their marketplace. Just be sure it doesnt say that its a copy or duplicate of the actual case on his amazon page and ask the seller for his return policy. If it states that its fake amazon cant do anything because he claimed it. But i dont see anything that indicated that its fake. Amazon protects their customers very well. Only good experiences with them.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
I think I'll order it when I get some free time, it seems as if he is selling a legit case. I wonder how long shipping would take to Vancouver.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
yeah looks like case123 is pretty legit from markham, ont.
