Just wondering how much thickness do these casses add to the desire? Is it the same amount of thickness as the nexus one's case from mobilefun adds? Thanks. As i am looking for a thinner case as it needs to fit into my pdAir VX1 pouch.. :S The nexus one case adds to much to it (as i bought one from ebay)
[Desire Accessories] Ramedge:
it's probably a tiny bit thinner but not by much. its much better fitting than the nexus one case from Mobile Fun, it covers the edge around the screen it also feels generally nicer to hold.
[Desire Accessories] poldie:
For me it was the £99.99 price which put me off! (That's the original item, as mentioned in the first post)
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
I really don't think it is going to be any thinner than the nexus one specific cases.

The thinnest I have found are these snap on cases: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Rubberi...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item51929403cc

I don't know whether it will fit in a pouch though.
[Desire Accessories] jonmall1441:
Thanks I guess I'll have to go shopping with the phone in hand and see if a case fits the pouch. That's hard to do considering the phone isn't available here...maybe when I'm back on holiday in the UK I'll try and find a solution. Might get something similar to the zagg invisishield to protect the phone for know.

I've waded through what seems like 100 pages and I'm still no closer to getting anything! Seems I need a 1) thin film screen protector, 2) some sort of gel/silicone case to protect the phone from drop-damage when I'm using it and 3) a general purpose case/jacket to protect it from keys/drop damage/rain. But there's no way of knowing whether it'll fit into case 3 if it's in case 2! Sellers seem happy to advertise stuff as fitting the desire when buyers report that it doesn't, and you have the usual ebay sellers, typically in hong kong/china offering 6 week delivery times and no ability to return stuff for a refund if it turns out that you've got a crap one/it doesn't fit/isn't actually for the desire.

Does anyone have all 3 protections on their phone and who cares to share it with us (me)? And does anyone know the difference between these two items?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-SOFT-GE...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item53e1262194

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-SILICON...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item58876f6bed

(I can't see a cut-out for the volume control - perhaps it's not clear from the photo, or maybe you can still press it with the cases on?)
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
The first is a TPU case a sort of soft plastic like those flexible rulers you can buy, the second is a floppy silicone case.

Neither have a hole for the volume rocker you have to press through the case, ideally there should be a bump over the volume rocker to make it easy to press.
[Desire Accessories] downbringer:
I went out brought the case the OP suggested and another case of amazon just to see the difference between them. the one from amazon hasn't arrived yet, however with regards to the ebay purchase the case arrived within two days of payment, so can't really knock the delivery time on this.

Its a snug fit, the phone doesn't move about within the case which is always reasuring. the case is reasonably thin, but does add a substantial weight and a thickness of about 3m to your phone. And the back of the case does pick up fingerprints quite easily, my old school ps3 doesn't pick up fingerprints quite as easily as this case does.

I would post photos of the case and the phone, but unforntunately my phone is my camera when whilst I'm at uni. I'll try to borrow a friends camera when I get both cases together to give you guys a little run through.
[Desire Accessories] admoo:
3 meters?! :p

In all seriousness, I got the one from eBay too and it's pretty good I'd say. It'll do for now, I'd prefer a more matt/siliconey feel but so I'll keep searching.
[Desire Accessories] biemsy:
Just got one of these to allay my fears of breaking my phone. It does feel a lot chunkier and it's certainly not as sexy now. I might get used to it or find something else.
[Desire Accessories] downbringer:
Hahaham we both knew I meant 3mm. However adding 3m to my phone would sure that if I dropped it, it wouldn't even reach the ground.
[Desire Accessories] Kid_DC:
Got this Skin today...

Feels really good. Design is okay and it fits perfectly.

Got it for about 3pounds... ~4Euro...

hi, I am looking for something similar to London Buses (www.londonbusesiphone.com) for HD2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Spike™:
here you go mate, try this......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] otherworld:
The iphone app you show does a lovely kind of augmented review where it overlays place names/icons over the moving camera image using gps, the g-sensor, and the compass.

I don't think you're going to find that (unfortunately) on windows mobile as the multitude of possible devices (with different camera drivers) makes it too hard to develop a solution that will work for all handsets :(

Would love to be proven wrong. I'm writing my own location aware application for finding places and I'd really like to add the camera view feature. Maybe in winmo 7.

There a popular tube app on uk marketplace called Tube Run that does a little bit more than the one posted above (although it costs a massive one pound something so not as cheap ;) ). Not tried it thought so can't tell you how good it is.

...and if you want a trains app you can do a lot worse than the one linked below :)

Spotted this screenshot on Android Central. I would love to do something like this to my battery meter. Is this at all possible to do? Where should I start looking? Thanks!
[Droid Eris General] failsaf3:
Even better is the time delete :D
[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
I'm sure it's possible.

I could easily make one that reads 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 & 0, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

I don't know how to edit xml for android, but I'm guessing that there's code that updates the stat_sys png's based on the battery's status. That would have to be moded to show the reading from the battery status.

:D Congrats on the post count and thanks for the clock-less taskbar. Took a few minutes to load up but woohoo, no clock. ;)
[Droid Eris General] stopxstart:
Making your clock look like this is quite easy. Pull your framework-res.apk from whatever rom you're using, change the file ending to .zip and edit the image files from drawable-mdpi. Rezip and push the file back. Bing. Bang. Boom.
[Droid Eris General] lordkian:
Gonna try the clock-less taskbar. Let's see if it works and Hope no other issues pop-out.

Thanks in advance ;)
[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
What device / Rom did you get this from???
[Droid Eris General] stopxstart:
Judging from the size of the screen a Droid.
[Droid Eris General] failsaf3:
Didn't work for me. Still have time. :(

Any ideas?

clockless huh...

thats a great idea..

:D
[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
Let's remember that this thread is about a battery icon, not the clock.

I would try to do something like this but I would need the source rom or framework apk.
[Droid Eris General] stopxstart:
Gritts, what rom are you using?
[Droid Eris General] gritts:
That sounds like a great lead.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cinara:
I'm trying to find a way to play PCM audio on an active phone call.

The Java API is not capable of doing this, so I'm now going through the native approach by using the AudioHardwareInterface that is exposed by the libaudio.so library.

Before I move forward, I wanted to check if anyone already accomplished that already. And also if anyone has any other suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Poetique:
Feel free to add this to the FAQ, I'm only making a thread of this because I know alot of people have found themselves unable to enter the bootloader using the Down Vol + Power Button combo that is normally supposed to work.

For some odd reason, it seems as if the volume button in some cases is swapped in hardware functions as it relates to the use of the phone when no software is present to run it.

Hence, if your down volume button doesn't work, try using the camera button + power button to enter bootloader mode instead.

Even if you've just Task 29'ed your device only to find that you can't enter bootloader mode normally, that method should work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ring-bearer:
I'll be darned, it does work! Thanks Poet' !!!

Otherwise, I had bad volume button issues (stopped working, ROM independent), that I solved by shoving the mini-usb power plug into the mini-usb slot really really hard for 20 seconds or so and wiggling it a bit while pressing against on the volume key on the other side.

I know it sounds strange, but it really worked. My keyboard issues also stopped after that. Theories?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] amandeepphull:
WOW! My volume button is broken, and couldn't flash ROMs from microSD (didnt bother me tooo much), but it works again :D This is a god send! Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ring-bearer:
Try my volume button fix above and see if it helps.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] N33D FOR SPEED:
OMG

Ive had problems with my Xperia volume keys for a month and this fixed it!!:eek: Thanks
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] amandeepphull:
Thanks for the tip, but its physically phucked! Slight crack near the volume button, but only the volume button doesent work, sometimes it does work if pressure is applied to the case near the crack, but rarely :( Not too bad though, i can live with it, after all, we can change volume with the 6.5.X top bar as its not fidly, or even in 6.5 by disabling HTC notifications :D (which i hate anyway)

I did try ramming the mini usb power plug into it, different pressure while pushing it, moving it while it was inside etc, no such luck and i am a brute with this phone. I love how it can take a drop/punch/scratch. Built solid :D

a silly volume button doesent really decrease my fuctionality, or doesent do much to stop me changing volume! lol cant complain.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] ring-bearer:
Glad to hear it!

It seems like I have to redo the fix technique about every 1-2 days, but it seems to always solve the problem. Very odd!

Dudes with volume key unresponsive problems:

See my post in the general forum about how to solve the volume key problem. At least for me, turns out that very slight *downward* pressure on the USB port solved the problem. Crazy, I know.

Hi guys,

is there any possible i ask (maybe) the same problem?

maybe i had the same problem here. it wont enter to the bootloader. my phone just won't turn on, i already try to use the power button and volume button (not working), try to use power button + Cam button (won't work either). btw when i charge my X1, the illuminations light didn't show up, when i try to charge w/o the battery only red light on the power button, but once i put the battery again the lights turn off. is there any possible that my phone totally dead? thanks guys, appreciate for your help.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] darkylight:
where were you before i paid 125$ :(.

i had this problem weeks ago, i tried many things, posted many threads here in xda but with no use, i sent my x1 to the shop to be fixed, i paid 125$ to be fixed but the couldnt fix my volume key, do you imagine!!!!

they just booted my x1, installed the original window and sent it back to me with a heavy reciept :(

so thanks for your help, now i can flash as many roms as i want after i mtty :D

Just found this, not sure if it has been mentioned elewhere...couldn't find it, so please forgive me if it's been posted before.

Extended battery for desire:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/seidio-innocell-extended-life-battery-htc-desire-p24215.htm

1600mah, so only 12.5% better, if I've got the maths right!

However, the downside is I'm pretty sure I have read somewhere, possibly on this forum that some 3rd party battery manufacturers over inflate their specs. (If anyone could confirm this please feel free to do so, because I can not remember where I saw the original article). So, unless someone else has bought one, and can confirm it actually is better, I don't think I'll be ordering one!

[HD2 General] ping33tx:
Hi,i am still learning everyday on changing rom's etc etc,with that being said,doing a hspl which correct me if i am wrong changed the radio version to something like 2.08 something something,i did the lastest update rom coming from htc 2.13,and i noticed that the radion version changed to 2.10.50.26.with that being stated does my hspl still in play as far as changing rom's as i please.Thanks very much and i am sorry for such a silly question,i am doing as much reading as i can and learning this game since i was a apple person a long time ago.God Bless and thanks Ping33tx.
[HD2 General] redzepplun:
Yes. Your HSPL is still "on the phone".

Have fun.
[HD2 General] jdl1681:
If you did the offical 2.13 rom it wiped off HSPL and move the phone to 2.10 SPL which means you can not put any custom roms on it till they updated the HSPL version
[HD2 General] redzepplun:
Really? I wasn't aware of that. I just flashed the new Elegancia 8.0 ROM and then installed the 2.13 radio after that.

So I presume a new HSPL is on the way?

And just out of curiosity, what happens if I reflash my old HSPL or anoter ROM?
[HD2 General] ping33tx:
Thanks

Thanks guys,man i feel like an dumbass right now.Should have know better i was just hoping for better messaging with this update and not locking me out.I'll keep my eyes out thanks again guys for the wisdom.Ping33tx
[HD2 General] jdl1681:
@red your still running HSPL 2.08 you can install the radios on it. He said he install the offical 2.13 rom which upgrades the SPL to 2.10 and disables the ablitiy to use the 2.08 HSPL.

like I am running radio 2.09 but I can move to 2.10 or 2.13 radio if I wanted to but as soon as i upgrade the SPL i am done until they recrack it again

@Ping i wouldn't worry about it these guys are very quick on here so unless there are major issues i would expect to see an HSPL based on 2.10 in a few days
[HD2 General] ping33tx:
Alrighty will do and again thanks alot for the help and not flaming me for a stupid question i just wanted to make sure and also i very very new on this.was an apple idoit but i am free now.lol anyway i'll keep reading and learning take care .ping33tx
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.

Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card! :)
[Droid Incredible General] socalracer:
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
[Droid Incredible General] tbaker077:
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
[Droid Incredible General] two_cents:
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00. :)
[Droid Incredible General] tbaker077:
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
[Droid Incredible General] Tony Kitchen:
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
[Droid Incredible General] simmonsjeffreya:
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
[Droid Incredible General] nfcrockett:
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.
[Droid Incredible General] Tony Kitchen:
Thanks spotmark for the info i am also receiving the 100.00 rebate thanks to you. I had no idea i could do this rebate, i also paid 529.00 full price.

Thanks Again
[Droid Incredible General] Tony Kitchen:
Give it a try man, its true. Props to spotmark
[Droid Incredible General] nfcrockett:
I was just clarifying the policy. I'm not sure why it's being included but that's a good thing! I recieved mine for $100 after the instant rebate and NE2 of $100 :)
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
[Droid Incredible General] junjlo:
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one :D now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
[Droid Incredible General] bast525:
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.

Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card :D

You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well :D. I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?

i paid full price for my Incredible by preordering on the VZW website before it came out. used the link above to check my eligibility and the automated system said i qualified even though the fine print said "new 1 and 2 year contracts" only. mailed in the upc and the form and my rebate checkcard arrived yesterday. haven't spent it yet, but i assume that there is money on the card. it appears that the rebate system doesn't actually check to make sure you signed the contract, it just checks sale date and upc against their current rebate offers.

after selling my moto driod on eBay (and subtracting out shipping to the buyer and all the stupid eBay/PayPal fees) i figure my incredible cost about $175 which isn't bad for a non-contract extending upgrade! thanks original poster!!! c
