Joby GorillaTorch Flare and Switchback Review

After my review of various Joby GorillaPod stands for N2 and S4, from some of the reply/comments/PMs I realized that not everyone is familiar with these neat little stands. Originally designed for cameras, these became universal stands for smartphones and other accessories. One of these accessories is GorillaTorch line of flashlights that have same flexible joint legs and some very unique multifunction flashlight features which I thought a lot of you will find useful on so many different occasions.

First one is Gorillatorch Flare 125 (http://joby.com/gorillatorch/flare#features_specs) with a max output of 125 lumen and 6 different modes of operation including 3 different light intensities, strobe light, and 2 modes of red light including emergency strobe. It has non-detachable gorillapod legs with a super strong neodymium magnetic feet to give you an option of either keeping these feet straight, or wrapping around any pole, or attaching to any metal surface. It is IP65 water-resistant rated and uses 3x AA batteries. For those who been in bad weather situations where everybody rushes to get D batteries, you don't know have to worry since you can get by with AA batteries and with a clever design where all 3 go in uniformly with '+' pointing up so you don't have to fumble in the dark figuring out battery polarity.

The second one is GorillaTorch Switchback (http://joby.com/gorillatorch/switchback#features_specs) with a unique 2-in-1 design of a headband light and lantern light - thus a name of switchback where you can switch between two. This one has a maximum output of 130 lumen and also has multiple modes of operation with 2 white LEDs for flood light and 2 red LEDs for night vision. The headband has it's own unique design with lights on the front and battery pack (uses 2x AA batteries) with switch controls on the back. It is IPX-4 rated for water resistance and a very rugged design, even down to wire connection between front facing light unit and back facing battery control - which balances really well on a headband. To convert it to lantern, you insert the headband with light unit first and battery control last where these controls are exposed to be used along with a lantern fixture. The top of the lantern pops up revealing ultra-efficient holographic lens which evens out the light. The same white and red LED controls are applicable in lantern mode. You also get an option to use fold-in hook or included GorillaPod stand which slides right into the bottom of the battery control unit. As a bonus, a universal mounting screw attachment is included so you can use this GorillaPod stand with any camera. The design and the quality of the material is just outstanding, and clearly has intention to be used in indoor or outdoor rough conditions.

Each of the units priced at $35, and considering it's functionality, design and durability IMHO a bargain for anybody who needs to have extra light for emergency, or working on your car/garage/workshop, or outdoors, or a hundred other uses.

You cant flash a custom recovery on me7. I would read a little bit next time I think this has been posted three times today. Youll have to flash the stock me7 image to get back the stock recovery. Everytime you try to boot to recovery youll get put in download mode. You can boot normally by using the button combo for download mode and then denying it.

You also dont flash a stock restore file under bootloader you flash it under pda.

[LG Optimus G Pro] foryou2keep:
I agree with that. So long as we have the basband to flash to. I think it is safe. I have Digital Minds, AOSP, and Feiyu's V9 and V10 save already. But have not gotten a time to flash the ROMS yet. Maybe this weekend. But Digital Minds works fine for the F240k according to my member s from my OGP Facebook Group.

on day of payment that i have earned , my admob account was closed and they were saying that because of fake clicks don eby me itself to earn money your account was closed. :eek::eek::eek:

And any way on second update of my app i removed the ad that was about in begining of the month.whatever i earned was in 2-3 days .

I also reported to google but they are not replying..:crying::crying::crying:

Did you "exclude" your own devices from your application using something like this ?

AdRequest advertisment = new AdRequest();

advertisment.addTestDevice(AdRequest.TEST_EMULATOR);

advertisment.addTestDevice("E7A34BB9FE075F3F7278330B5F3BF2FA");

If you didn't, using your app on your own devices probably got you banned.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Widesteppe:

I got banned too, lost a $300 account. Sending lots of emails and appeals. Receive no explanation or answers. It seems that a lot of accounts was mistakenly banned like yours. Think about alternatives to admobs.

I am using Adsota - a lesser known ad network here. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, variousa ads format, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".

I am buying this ION (LT28i) to use the LTE from AT&T's network here in the US. Is this LTE enabled ? Heard there are three versions, LT28i/at/h and dunno which has LTE and which doesn't. Also, will I experience the fast LTE speeds seen in other LTE phones on AT&T network ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Yes the lt28i is LTE.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abhishekk89:
Thanks Spectre51! Really appreciate your quick reply. I have a couple more questions. First do I see the blazing fast LTE speeds on this device as on other AT&T devices ? Second can I unlock the bootloader and install custom roms on this particular model ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Speeds should be fast. If I remember right I used to get 20mb+ down on LTE. To see if you unlock the boot loader dial *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then configuration if it says boot loader unlock allowed Yes then you can.

I think there are some skins for uccw on play though.

Use can use UCCW with some skins too. It's way more customizable than those two mentioned above. :)

link for that? cant find it.

also can you teach me how to use a skin with uccw? im a uccw noob

You should try Apex launcer + Fancy Widgets (has a clock weather 4x1).

But still Sense remains the best...

Or you can just install widgets mentioned above. It's easier, but lacks customization.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sparker366:
Ok here is the deal. I had a camera focus issue with my original S3. Took it to the warranty center and they replaced it. Works great. I rooted then rom'd and it breaks the camera. Doesn't matter if 4.2 or 4.3 camera can't connect.

Flashed back to stock checked the camera works just fine. So I rooted the phone and didn't flash a rom. Camera works fine. I tried to fix permissions for the camera no difference when I flashed a rom.

This is very annoying. I really like having a rom'd phone but I need my camera.

Any suggestions I can try?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sparker366:
Well it seems that no one had any idea about this issue. I talked with a friend last night and he said flash TWRP to the newest. I did flash the newest TWRP and it fixed this issue. Camera works as advertised when I flashed a ROM
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonespanda:
Rooted my husband's phone today and encountered this same problem. I flashed with CWR. Do you recommend going back to stock and flashing with TWR or just flashing to TWR without going back to stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sparker366:
Make sure you are on the newest clockwork or the newest TWRP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bonespanda:
Thanks I'll try that ASAP.

On another note, I'm wondering if flashing the incorrect or out of date CM had anything to do with this. Hes currently on 4.1.2 so I flashed CM v 10.0.0. Any thoughts?

Lg l9 P769 v20 f tmobile rooted locked boot loader. I've flashed factory rom twice and completed swap script. First question, unlocking boot loader allows me to flash custom rooms? or am I able to as I am now. 2nd,I've used swap script for internal external sd storage, seems to work at showing swapped memories at settings storage but as I download, objects seem to go to smaller internal sd automatically. Where would I go from here, I've tinkered with folder mount but haven't found a good guide or my phone specific information. My main goal would be to store most downloaded apps(total data) to external, which I know is a lot of people's goal but I don't know what I can do or what to do from here. I appreciate any help, everyone here wants to use things to their fullest extent and I love that.

Hi

I am using O2 XDA Iii and have some questions hope some of you help me find out the answers:

1 / Is there any software that let us add / delete /rename categories for a group of contacts instead of doing manually one by one contact?

2/ I often store contact numbers as (+country code)+(number) such as: +8493xxxxxx. However when sync with MS Outlook, I noticed that number stored in MS Outlook alwayls as +84 9xxxx (there is a space between “+84” and “9xx”.

Is there any way to make MS Outlook store number without this space?

I ask this question because if I want to restore contacts on my PPC from MS Outlook then I have to manually delete this space. This take me a lot of time 

3/ Sometime when I backup contact with default xbackup and at later time, restore it, then all categories is not in same order as before. Some contacts lost category, others were with diffirent categories …. Can you let me know why and how to get rid of it?.

4/ In default Contact / All contacts -> we would see a popup window showing some categories. Some but not All. These categories can be found at more -> tab “Select”. While all categories found at more -> tab “Add and Delete”.

So the question is How can we bring all categories to this pop-up window? Or how we can let the tab “Select” show all category like tab “Add and Delete”?

Look forward to your help

Thank

Tuan

Hello,

I was wondering; is there a way to make facebook pages load faster? Whenever I scroll through the news feed, it makes me wait after scrolling to the bottom to see more news feed. Is there a way to make it load instantly like it does on the iPhone or the S4 (take a look at this video to see what I want to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=WrpBXqAc_1w#t=21 (note from there to 0:26)). Is there a way for the loading times (not app loading times, but feed loading times as shown in that video) to decrease? I hope you understand what I'm asking. If not, I can clarify more.

Thanks XDA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
Cmon, Doane anyone have an idea on what I can do? I have been waiting for 2 days. Any help? I did the search but no one has had my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
How many threads do you need to create for this? Short answer, it's likely a ram/CPU issue; our devices are old and newer updated, apps might not respond as fast as the newer models.

Or maybe change kernel and overclock a bit and see if that does anything for you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
This is only my second thread, and it seems creating a new thread is all I needed to get an answer. I will try that and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
That didn't help. It still does the loading circle when scrolling through news feed or pages on fb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but your 0:26 in your example video is showing someone using Google+ on an S4 - not Facebook on an SII.

Facebook is a very slow and buggy application that will most likely never run smoothly on the SII.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azeem40:
I am talking about Facebook on the browser. Should have specified. Also, I didn't say it didn't run smoothly. When scrolling down the page it is very smooth,but when I hit the bottom, it does the loading circle for a second then loads more news feed. I was wondering if there was a way to not make it load and just automatically show all the feed when I hit the bottom of the page. I may have to record it so show you what I really mean. I thought I linked :21. Weird. :21 is the actual part of the video that tells you what I mean (:21 to :26).

Hey everyone! just upgraded to a GS4 from my old GS2 so far I'm loving this phone! but I have had a few concerns.. does anyone else notice their phone is warmer than others? I don't remember my GS2 getting warm under regular use.. the first device i got was getting really warm even when the screen was off so i exchanged that and the new device runs much better but still warmer than my old GS2.

also what kind of battery life are you guys getting? on stock I get about 12-13 hours of moderate use or 6-8 hours of heavy use.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prajapathy:
i was rooting and flashing ROM on nexus 1 for the first time in my life, so i ran into some troubles but i managed to run cyanogenmod 10.1 by vj.

everything worked just fine except the power button. Checked the forums... and found it might be the flex cable. I sent the mobile to service center and i was told they replaced the flex cable. Okay fine. Now the issue is that the power button menu keeps popping up even without any touch/press on the button. If i just press the upper body of the phone itself this menu pops up. I cant play videos in landscape mode without popping this menu. Its killing my day and experience of the awesum rom. I checked it with the service centre and they say i need to change the panel. I dont know but i feel like they are ripping me off. If i deliberately power off, it somehow gets to boot up with the slightlest touch or shake :crying: :confused: Guys please help me.. thanks in advance..

I have an unlocked T-Mo GS4. I still have my T-Mo service, but I also use it outside of the US. I have CM10.2 nightlies on it. When the other carriers SIM is in it, I periodically get these pop ups, with a picture of a SIM card looking thing. It is spam for something and I always press cancel, but what exactly is it? Is it something on the SIM card other than just what I need for service? Can I block this using an app or some setting in CM? Ideally I would like to delete it from the SIM. Second up would be blocking any and all similar "apps" from being able to display pop ups.

Someone tell me what this vile rape of my phone is please. I feel so dirty that my phone has been touched in this way.

edit - SIM Toolkit, could that be the culprit? It pops up nothing but spanish language crap when I open it. Can I disable it or remove it or will it break the phone? Could I maybe custom strip its permissions if I can't wipe the bastard out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
My guess is STK aka sim toolkit. From what I remember when I looked up what exactly it did long time ago, all I really remember is it'd pop up when people left the country. And it'd pop up often. So I always deleted it because I never leave the US. Never broke my phone. Never caused issue with services.

Had something to do with actually mobile banking in other countries.

But like I said deleting it for me has never been an issue or caused an issue.

If anything when you're where ever, copy it to your SD card so you have a back up, then delete it from system/app. If it causes no issues for you leave it deleted. If it does, move the copy back to the system/app and reboot the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Can you post a screenshot of this pop up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] munchy_cool:
it's like promotional alerts (can't call them sms) from carrier ..just cancel them and if you find a way to turn them off please let me know as well

Try turning off "push message"in stock messaging app. SIMToolKit is what handle all the Carrier messages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] muqali:

Chip it or get a new one of your provider.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Call your carrier and tell them to send you a new SIM, or if you don't want to wait for a new SIM, go to [Insert carrier] store and tell them to make you a new one, and you'll have it within five minutes. That's how it works here at least.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] capitansid:
Yes, just visit your carrier and ask for a nano sim.. us here in the Philippines would replace it free of charge and would say it will take 24hrs to activate.. but it normally activates w/in 6hrs.. :)

I think it would be much safer if you use a exacto knife (i dont know how u spell it but we call it blade cutter here at my place) + a ruler or any straight edge to guide you rather than just a scissor...

Scissors have the tendency to bend the card if you made a mistake and slipped.. ;)

There is too a mini sim! It's what you called 'regular sim'.

The original sim (Full Size Sim) was the size of a credit card!

Then they bought out the Mini Sim. Which was used for years and years.

Then came the Micro Sim. Likes used in the Z Ultra and SGS3.

Then came the Nano Sim. Likes used in one of the iphones. Don't know which one, don't care. I phones suck.

There's also an Embedded Sim which is tiiiiiiiny.
