Little Survey...

Okay...i've upgraded my rom to the imate Jam 1.12 from club imate site on my MDA Compact to see if the SD card problem goes away....NO it doesn't. This is really frustrating...and the JAM rom is not as good as the tmobile one with periodic slow downs and already one reset.

Anyway folks, I want to see if I can get some correllation with rom and SD cards. So a mini survey for you all. If you have a T-mobile (originally) MDA compact and use an SD card let me know:

Current ROM Make?

Current ROM Version?

SD Card Make/Model/Capacity?

Any problems with other SD cards?

I will publish a summary for everyone later.

sd card

i don't have a tmobile compact,

rather a qtec s100, although I got a TMobile manual in my box..

anyway, i have a 2gb 150x speed ADATA SD Card and I have exactly the same problem. If you browse this forum you will see there is one or two more other topics about the exact same issue.. dont think its anything to do with a specific vendor pda i.e. o2 / tmobile.... but rather a jam thing.

I don't think they currently recognise the latest sd cards, although, i've been told they do recognise the 2gb ultra disk from moby memory retailing at about £133.

So, we can either wait for the ROM upgrade to include the latest stuff, or swap or sell the cards and buy another one.. i'm probably doing the latter to be honest as i just cant wait.

ANyway, if you do find the problem, please let me know.

Regards,

Bushmen

They don't seem to recognise the 2gb Moby SD...because that was my initial purchase. Then I downgraded to the 1gb. They are going to send me another 1gb from a different manufacturer. Moby are having a few of these problems cropping up.

old twin mos 256 mb card had same problem with you. but after i fomatted it with an external card reader and windows, worked perfectly. (this was used for a digital camera before)

hope this helps
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ineedtoys:
Do the cards work fine in a PC card reader?

Does "formatting" on the MDA cause the card to be unreadable on the PC (until you reformat it on the PC)?

If so, these are the exact symptoms found on some early Magicians. If the card works in a PC, then it's a fault on the Jam/MDA, not the card, although the fault does vary by card brand. If you don't get the MDA swapped out, you could end up with it randomly wiping your card. See http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=I-MATE_JAM&thread=153

If you don't have a PC card reader to test - get one (make sure it's USB2). Life is not long enough to transfer 2GB by activesync!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Matterhorn:
Imate Jam

My cards:

Apacer 1gb-no problems

Sandisk Ultra 2gb-no problems

Sandisk 1gb (regular)-no problems

For the moment it looks like if you want a 2gb card that works in your Jam, you'd better get the Sandisk Ultra 2gb.

I can confirm, it works on my HTC Magician too, formated with Fat32 on my PC and pluged into the Magician and have full capacity available! Already filled up with 1.4GB of data (TomTom Maps mostly) Really seems the only 2GB SD card working on the Magician :roll:

Works fine on PC Card reader. But shows prompt for "Format" on MDA. When formatted, it does not show in File Explorer, but About Box says explansion slot in use. This card works fine on my Orange SPV (1st model).

I am trying for 512MB 60x speed Toshiba card.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] evcook:
Transcend 4Gig works on Jam - WITH SHIM

The JAM is famous for having innaccurate "travel" in its SD contact mechanical design. SD cards that are not thick enough will give this symptom. The fix is to add a "shim" of plastic or paper to the contact side of the SD card.

I use the sticky part of a PostIt note. Cover the entire card area except the contacts at the bottom. Contact side only. The Transcend 4 gig card is too thin, but adding the trusty PostIt fix now allows me to use this huge ($100) card with no problems. Hope this hack fixes your SD issues too - chuse...

I just put some thought into the case that flips open and holds your credit cards.... When it's open you can't access the power button or volume controls

Fail much?
[G2 Accessories] wargreymon89:
Its possible to design so you can have 1 card in the flip lid with a window for camera, and buttons (might get slightly in the way for volume down). Then again, you dont need to use the buttons anyways.
[G2 Accessories] solaris2k:
Spigen Slim Armor Cases look damn good. If I get this phone I'll be getting one of these. :good::D
[G2 Accessories] Jammol:
Is it just me or is that an Antennae cut out at the top left(looking at the back of the case)? I really hope they build different region cases.
[G2 Accessories] anuraj1:
Perhaps it is for the IR Blaster?
[G2 Accessories] wargreymon89:
There is hole for that too, but if you check top right corner there is a bigger hole for the antenna on F320 phones. If you got for official cases they should be without holes for the international version, but if you go with cheap china cases there is a chance they have a hole to fit all phones.
[G2 Accessories] anuraj1:
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
I'm hoping the cases for the normal version fit the Verizon variant, just since the buttons are smaller there will just be space around them from the bigger cut outs
[G2 Accessories] synplex:
I too wonder if these will work with the Verizon version ?
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
I talked to LG this morning and they were kind of sketchy on the differences between Verizon and the rest, so I'm now thinking there is more of a difference than the buttons

I just ordered Poetic Palette case from Amazon. Best looking slim case IMHO. At least for now. It's less than $7 with free shipping.

Mobile link ; http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E5NP1KC/ref=pd_aw_sbs_2?pi=SS115

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

It seems strange that they didn't make cutout for, probably, second microphone. It's placed just little higher from camera flash.

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------

I just realized that Incipio cases listed in OP made same omission.
[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
the poetic one doesn't really look like it does anything... just a snap on. I wonder if it's even worth it
[G2 Accessories] djkinetic:
well when i ordered it, it was like 3 bux lol..so i was like 3 bux for a little scratch protection till the better cases come out isnt anything, its pretty much like an Incipio Feather Case.
[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
yeah i ordered it. idc. wasn't too expensive. good to just have something on it.
[G2 Accessories] alex72:
For people who use swipe side screen triggered launcher like Swapps (my favorite), SwipePad, Wave launcher,... better pay attention on fact that LG G2 got super thin side bezels, so any case with raised protective rim will block (interfere) swipe side screen trigger area. This is a main reason I bought Poetic Palette case which it doesn't interfere with Swapps (or similar launcher).
[G2 Accessories] cron912:
Has anyone seen a combo case and holster for the G2 yet? Thanks.

[G2 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
From my experience with those spigen cases, that plastic on the back scratches like crazy. And I don't mean scratch as in "oh, that saves the scratches from being on my phone". I'm talking scratches the would never even show up on your phone. They are scratch magnets. Pass for me.
[G2 Accessories] jmill75:
Verizon usually has the holster/shell combo available on day 1. This is usually my first case I get.
[G2 Accessories] psychoace:
Seems like a lot of companies have added cases today on Amazon. Here is a double layer Amzer case. A Dual Layer case with holster and the one that probably most of us would buy. All pretty much generic but still an option.
[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
so i'm wondering if that poetic case i got is even going to fit the verizon g2, since it's thicker than the others.

i can't stand verizon.

i know, i figured that would be ok..but now the width thing. meh. maybe i'll just get ripped off by verizon and get a TPU at the store tomorrow.
[G2 Accessories] alex72:
AT&T LG G2 has small hole above camera lens (flash) for 2nd microphone (noise canceling). If you care how you sound to other people over the phone better buy case designed with a hole for it. Not sure about Verizon version.
[G2 Accessories] Dchibro:
Good point. This just brought up in a quick hands on by AC ... http://www.androidcentral.com/att-lg-g2-hands

The manual shows that pinhole on the diagram but doesn't label it. Those of you buying cases for the AT&T version may want to wait until it's confirmed that there's a noise cancelling mic underneath.

Edit - The poetic case does actually have that hole cut out I saw. I stumbled across a couple others that do as well. People dead set on the Spigen case (like me) will probably want to confirm before ordering though.
[G2 Accessories] alex72:
Yep. I tried to worn people in post #16.

I've always liked Diztronic's TPU cases but darn it they omitted the mic hole near the camera too. Maybe I'll drill a small hole for it myself if I get one.

[G2 Accessories] WestSideVB:
2 year member 1st post LOL

UPS tracking says my white TMO LG G2 will be here within an hour and a half !!!! So excited

I ordered a bunch of stuff for it

1) SPIGEN LG G2 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Metal Slate] Dual Layer Protective Case for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, International ONLY - Metal Slate

2) Poetic FlipBook Case for LG G2 Black (All Carriers except Verizon)

3) Body Glove DropSuit for LG G2

also the TMO deal came with the Quickview case but didn't let me pick the color. At the TMO store they have it in black only, EDIT They sent the white quickview with the white phone /EDIT I wasn't super excited about the protection but the quickview screen I think has potential. I wonder if any after market makers are going to support that. so

4) LG Quickview Case (free with phone) - White, but they didn't let me pick

The Spigen ultra crystal screen protector my research here suggests is solid isn't available on amazon until sept 30. I read not such great things about the ZAGG (well some great and some bad; seemed love or hate) so the one currently available at best buy overpriced at $25 is out. I wanted the TechArmor but with the phone almost here, I didn't want to not have one on the phone for several days. Called for the AT&T 3 for $10 to hold me over till the Spigen came out, not in stock here. TMO had in stock WootWoot; ran over there and WTF 25 bones; they better be good at that price. so

5) WriteRight Maximum Screen Protection 2 pack. Says Crystal Clear (but not HD, def not an anti-glare style): Are these any good?

Shopping for insurance, looks like EnSquared is the way to go. Prolly just do a one year plan since this beast is prolly gunna be worth 2 bux in 2 years :) Standard. 60 bux for 1 year, 100 for 2 years. 75 1st deductible and I think it is 100 after that up to 3 claims. Had no insurance on my last phone and that wasn't a problem.

Coming from an HTC EVO 3D in an OtterBox on Sprint, feel happy to part ways with Sprint after 10 years; hope TMO coverage is good enough.

I'll post my impressions after I have some time with this stuff.
[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
Received my Diztronic TPU today. I had the Poetic flap case and I hated it. Disregard the shipping envelope this was taken on, lol. It also made the back a bit dusty. This case fits like a glove, and hardly adds any size at all. No fingerprints, either! Very happy I purchased this for 10 bucks shipped. I have the Spigen case on the way, but I really like this case.
[G2 Accessories] WestSideVB:
Ohhh man I had that on my short list and it ended up on the top of my did not buy list. If I had seen this before Id have bumped it up. Only thing kewl about the poetic is the sideways stand.

Looks great; may end up with that if I don't like one of the four I have in route lol. Do you think it offers much protection? Is there enough lip to lay face down (which I commonly do right now).
[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
It's not a gel case per say, its more like the hard rubber that is used on the Otterbox cases. I feel it would protect the phone okay, certainly not like an Otterbox or LifeProof case. It definitely has a lip around the screen so its safe to place face down. I also purchased the same Spigen case you did, the metal slate. I just hope it doesn't make the phone huge, this barely adds any size at all.
[G2 Accessories] EuroSpeed:
Do you have a link to where I can buy this case? All I see are cases for the Optimus G.

In all the pics I have seen, the Dizmatic appears to be missing a hole on back. Anyone confirm this? My Diz case for G3 was great.
[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
Speaking for my T-Mobile phone, I have no mic on the back near the camera. There are no holes on the back of my phone at all near the camera or otherwise so this case is not missing any holes for the T-Mobile variant of the LG G2. There are two holes at the top of the phone for mic and IR blaster, but I have nothing on the back of my phone other than the flash and power buttons.
[G2 Accessories] astarling10:
Just went to order the Diztronic case on Amazon for my AT&T G2 and Diztronic just posted an update that they are going to release 3 versions of the case. They won't be available until 30 September tho...

http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...id=1379726707&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g2+diztronic

9/20/2013 Update: It has come to our attention that the AT&T model has a rear microphone to the top right of the back camera. As such, our case will not work for the AT&T or Verizon models. We will be releasing three versions of this case, the one we have currently, a Verizon specific version and an AT&T specific version. If you ordered this product and have the AT&T or Verizon models, please contact Diztronic Support for a replacement. We are estimating to have replacements ready by Sept 30th. You will not need to return your current case and can continue using it until your replacement arrives.

[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
Yes, seeing as how I own both, I feel qualified to say that this case would offer the same amount of impact resistance, and its barely larger than the phone. Its made of the same hard rubber that Otterbox uses on their defenders.
