[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [IO]ERROR:
I purchased my N1 on Craigslist for $325.00 about a month ago. The reason it was so cheap? "Michael & Sasha - Always" was engraved on the back.

I personally don't care what the phone says on the back but I'm sure w few people will which means the phone will be harder to sell in the long run.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnjryan:
I guess Michael and Sasha didnt last...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [IO]ERROR:
Apparently she got the phone for him so if they were still together and he sold it I doubt they are together now.. Hehe I know my woman would kill me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Or atleast take the phone back :P

anyways: i hear that the most didn't engrave it at the last minute. Is it because all of you plan to sell your nexus?

well im sorry for the useless thread then, but I didn't buy my nexus one in january, i bought it in june
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malicious85:
did not engrave incase i decided to re sell.. the nice thing about a no contract plan :D

wish i had gotten "not the droid you are looking for"

i think that wouldn't have hurt the resale :D

Anyone knows how to play Avi movie files on the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
it will play avi files encoded with h.264, not with divx/xvid. you will need to convert them.

there are a hundred threads on this. please search.

Hey I'd love to work on this but I'm not sure where to start so I'll request it. I'd like to see something like trackball wake for the Nexus but use the volume button on the EVO. Also the menu button unlock so we don't have to swipe. I know Metalhead now has the menu unlock on the market. It doesn't seem to work, but maybe he can tweek it too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
What trackball?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fdot:
He said he would like to see something LIKE the trackball wake but using the volume keys because we dont have a trackball.

If anyone finds an app or something that will allow the EVO to wake from the 4 front buttons please let me know either on here or PM. Its the only feature keeping me from getting an EVO.

No I'm not as picky as it sounds lol, its a dexterity issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kwajr:
i would say you woul want it to be one of the touch buttons on front since you would always hit em by mistakednt
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Double tap of the menu would work for me, I'd even prefer it but I assume that the driver and hardware for the screen and for the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen are the same. While we could always leave the screen on and watch for touch input all the time I think it would kill the battery.

But if someone knows of the soft buttons using a separate driver or hardware then we could consider it.

What I was suggesting was to go from off to using it press the volume down key and then menu vs. pressing power then swiping the screen unlock thing. Of course you could do the volume and then swipe too, but the menu button would be a added benefit.

Will it ever be possible to see a multi ui rom? Sense, motoblur in particular. I like the happenings widget and most of the sense stuff.

Unfortunately UI treatments dig pretty deep into the system. It'd be very touch and time intensitve to try and compile all of them into one rom.

G'day.

I've been running Exchange 2003 for myself and a couple of winmo using friends for around a year now, but I really want to use Exchange 2010 for its SMS features and better Outlook web access.

Unfortunately due to the hardware requirement of the latest Exchange, it is not financially tenable for me to host it for a small group. So I was wondering if you guys would like to be hosted for?

Exchange 2010 features specific to winmo (6.5+);

-SMS Sync'ing/backup

-SMS response from Outlook/OWA

-Push

Naturally there is the usual exchange features of contacts/calenders/etc. Don't think I will be able to do Voicemail without messing around with a SIP provider.

I'll also add host server using applications that people think would be nice. For me, that would be TrackMe - others may have other ideas which I will have no issue adding provided it is possible, and it can be shared for us all. Will also be able to allow users to point there own domains at the server, and send from them.

I imagine I should be able to allow mailbox sizes to go between 2-6GB, depending on how many people are interested.

So for this poll, would you be willing to pay $5 towards such a service? I'll try serve for as many people as possible, but I won't oversell the space. Could upgrade specs as and when necessary though :).

Feel free to ask me any questions about my idea!

[General Topics] svetius:
Exchange is good stuff. I don't think that many people realize the many benefits of using it!
[General Topics] dr_strangetrick:
Intrested yes :)

But a few questions, what about reilibility if your server breaks? are we going to have to change our email addresses?? lastly how fast is your connection as you could get quite a few accounts ???

Thanks
[General Topics] leenick:
There are a number of ways you can ensure mail delivery without the intervention of the Exchange server

-1. Setup a secondary mail account, and a forwarder as your second MX entry in your DNS config (provided you have your own domain - 123reg.co.uk do this for example)

-2. Wait. The message will be delivered eventually. SMTP servers tend to retry for awhile until successful.

I doubt I will add our own backup exchange server. Although I will backup mailboxes so if the server does die for whatever reason, they can be restored when it is fixed.

Yes, you will be able to use your own domain to receive, and send mail from the server. Obviously, this won't work with domains you don't own (hotmail, gmail etc). So yes, you can use your own email address. Should that be an issue, I will provide a generic address such as user@xdamail.net

As for connection speed - this is not something I would be hosting on my home connection, although it would handle it fine. Home connections are often blacklisted by destination SMTP servers. The server will be in a datacenter with either a 10mbit or 100mbit uplink, in the country where most our users are. However, it is unlikely I will allow more than 30 users on our server due to mailbox storage considerations. I only want enough people to make the server financially viable for myself, I am not out to profit.

Besides, judging from the poll so far, I don't think I'll have enough users to start!
[General Topics] kltye:
I actually have a hosting setup for a few XDA users. I charge $50/year with "unlimited" storage - I haven't seen any mailboxes grow uncontrollably thus far, so we'll see how it goes. I have two mailbox servers (for those of you in the know, yes, it is a DAG) to ensure uptime. Both servers have RAID 1 hard drives. One is hosted in a datacenter in Chicago (Ubiquity) using a Dell PowerEdge 1950. The backup server is self hosted at home - so mail access may be slow if the primary goes down.

Let me know if you guys want more details.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...199186619&skuId=9943616&st=evo case&cp=1&lp=1

That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.

I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bmwboyee:
They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] enragedpaza:
can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Freelancerx:
its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.

the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Classick206:
I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.

The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.
[EVO 4G Accessories] senormatt:
I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.

If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.
[EVO 4G Accessories] magicalan:
:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was :eek: and it was like 24 dollars.. :D and online its 19.99

[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:

It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).

The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.

EDIT...

I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kratos313:
Is this A EVO case?

cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jeffy2walgreens:
yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.

the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.

i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tenny:
I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).

Strnage
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tikerz:
I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.
[EVO 4G Accessories] atoy74:
I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.

Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).
[EVO 4G Accessories] sph33r:
I just grabbed the last of my Best Buy's 2 piece slip case that is apparently made by Seidio. It's... ok. I wish it didn't add so much bulk. All I want is a slightly grippy surface so I don't feel like I'm going to drop my new toy. The Hero had the perfect amount of grip to it, I don't know why they didn't coat the Evo with the same stuff.

But anyway, I'm torn between the safer, grippier case, or taking it back and dealing with it. I just feel like the phone is already too big to have a case adding that much to the size.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ProvocativeSmell:
I just picked this one up today from Best Buy and really like it. I tried the Body Glove at the sprint store and was like heck no, if I dropped it with a Body Glove on it feels like the Body Glove case would shatter where as the Platinum case seems like it would hold up a lot better. It is slightly thicker I think but I really like the feel and it doesnt bother me at all. I had a naked HTC Hero from Sprint before this phone, well actually I still have it and make calls with it... lol.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gottria:
Does anyone have the Best Buy SKU numbers for the split case with belt holster? My local Best Buy said they only carry one style Platinum case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kshawn:
Heres a video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqv1nt_PLaY
[EVO 4G Accessories] djpaulie:
I also have the Platinum from BB without the clip.

Positives - It's nice - or at least I have grown to like it. It does fit amazingly well - no wiggling or "creaking" when you squeeze it. It's on there very tight. I also love the texture in my hand, it's grippy but not too grippy. I do also like that the ridges of the case's camera opening keep the lens from getting scratched up.

Downsides - I absolutely hated it at first due to my OCD. The fine details are absolute crap on these Platinum cases. I mean, the carbon fiber pattern on mine is not squared up to the other openings. It's angled compared to the opening for the kickstand, for instance. Also the edges of the port openings are all over the place - not smooth. It looks like someone with Lou Gehrig's disease took a lighter to a knife then tried to cut/melt the openings. :D So that's either poor QA or poor manufacturing process..

Overall, not really worth $30 IMO, but I do like it better than the silicon cases or the ones with the clip.
[EVO 4G Accessories] My1es:
Anyone feel like there's some space in their cases? I can feel some play in mine. I wish it was more snug. I'm debating returning it and trying something else.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jjandr01:
I purchased both the Seidio case from Seidio's Web Store and the Platinum case from Best Buy. I compared both side by side and can confirm it is a rebranded Seidio case which was awesome because I paid $59.99 for the Seidio case and skin vs. $30 (after 10% discount) at Best Buy. I will be returning the one to Seidio.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sph33r:
Yes, that's why I returned mine.

Seidio has a rep on Android Central who said they are test fitting all their cases now to make sure the lose fit ones don't get out the door. I assume this will affect the Best Buy labeled Seidio cases as well. I liked the case itself, just hated that it didn't fit right. I think I might order one in a few weeks after the kinks are ironed out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kratos313:
I'm returning mine as well i got one of those that felt cheap when on the phone

i'm ordering the bare holster for non-cases phones and putting the full body protector on it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ffolkes:
am i missing something here? lol. i just bought this case from bb (drove 45 mins to get it) and it's utter crap. zero-point-zero quality control, just randomly hacked out of $0.05 worth of softish plastic by a sweat shop worker...and sold for $30!? good lord, this is going back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sporkman:
Seidio case i have CREAKS and it not very snug ... very unhappy with it might try out the sprint case or the BB plat case
[EVO 4G Accessories] eldowan:
I have the platinum efron BB and it creaks as well. To help with mine i took a post it, folded a couple layers and put under the case at the seam on the left side of the phone.

Now it seems to got better.

Ive read some reports that the platinum case is from Seidio.

I recently purchased the Seidio/Platinum case/holster combo from best buy for $30 (don't know why it was $5 less then what was stated)...

Anyway, I am not getting any of the squeaking or movement you guys speak of but maybe its because of my invisible shield I have on the phone. Originally, I had the FULL protections - sides included however the case would not close. I removed the side protectors and realigned the front screen protector. My case goes on snug however I have to make sure when I am sliding it on it does not lift up on the front screen protector.

I am 100% happy with my Platinum/Seidio case combo, especially for the price I paid :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] AssassinsLament:
I have the "squeak" on my seidio also, but really its not even noticable unless you're actually pushing it in and out on purpose. Plus it's easily fixed by putting some small padding where it's not snugg. I bought the combo from seidio, and I love it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] GinjiVitis:
I have this Seido Platinum case as well. Got it on launch day at BB. it feels very sturdy everywhere but above the volume rocker. that squeaks slightly but the over all feel of the case feels extremely sturdy and well built. if you know anyone with BB employee discount you can get this case for about 7 bucks. I will be changing this case for a charger case once released but it is a more than satisfactory case until then.

If your case squeaks or is a bit loose, cut some small pieces of electrical tape and put them inside the case where the problem is at, this ads just enough to solve the problem. Fixed mine.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
I had this case from best buy for all of two minutes. It snapped open after being dropped on carpet....twice. My biggest problem was that the finish and fit on the case was just plain poor. The material had not been properly sized or laid or cut. It was also needlessly thick. Not worth $30 or even close! I have paid upwards of $50 for nice cases and this one is not it.

Returned it the next day. Went over to sprint and got the bodyglove case which has not snapped open despite being dropped onto hardwood and concrete. The case still looks brand new even!
[EVO 4G Accessories] gottria:
So you dropped your phone for a total of 4 times in 2 days? Two carpet falls, one concrete and one hardwood?

Damn, I think you need like a Otter box and hope you have insurance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Yep, its a good way to test the cases! I am a girl who works in a Lab and Strolls a production floor. It has to look good, fit in my pocket, and handle a lot of abuse.

Radioshack insurance $100 and you can just get walk-in replacements plus two free batteries over the next two years. Best Insurance you can get if you don't loose your things!

Plus, most of the time it isn't drops with a reasonable case which kills a phone. More often than not, it is hardware issues. All of my iPhones died from hardware failures of crappy radios or just deciding to shut off in use and never turn on again. 4 iPhones in 1 year due to bad engineering. Had 7 iPods over the years and only one ever needed a hard drive replacement. The iTouch I even rerouted the audio line out and it still worked great (had for 2+ years)!
