Looks like a white-label Amzer case:

http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Luxe-Argyle-Skin-Case-Smoke-Grey-P88260.htm

How does the product you have compare to the looks of that one?? Pretty much the same? I have been debating over one of these cases for a while now. Tried a lot of them out so far and havent found "the one"

i just dont want something that adds too much bulk! lol if i wasnt affraid of destroying the phone i would just let it go naked, but thats just too risky.
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
Well it doesn't say amzer anywhere on it or the packaging, and the amzer picture is a little different. There is one big cutout for the flash leds, camera, and speaker on the back. However the amzer picture might just be a photoshop mockup, and perhaps they are in fact the same.

If you want some protection without bulk and inconvenience, I recommend this case. It isn't quite as protective as the thicker silicon cases in terms of shock absorption, but it will protect against scratches and abrasions without sticking to your pocket or attracting lint.

I wasn't able to find one without the argyle print, but like I said, it's pretty subtle. If you wait, you can get one of the case-mate ones which I'm sure are higher quality.
[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
just noticed the epik cases are out on ebay, only like 3.49 with free shipping! looks like it has individual cutouts for the led flash, camera, and speakerphone. i had to get one at that price, smoky black no pattern:

[EVO 4G Accessories] catpunt:
Just received my Epik case --

Now I have 3 different cases:

1. Sprint retail OEM silicone skin

2. Smoke argyle pattern TPU skin

3. (new) Black Epik TPU skin

Here are my impressions of the Epik TPU:

* The skin is thicker, softer, and tackier than the argyle skin, but less thick, soft and tacky than the silicone skin. I'd say it's right in the middle on all 3 accounts.

* The thickness fully recesses the camera lens

* Easy to get in/out of the pocket, doesn't attract dust/lint

* The color is not really black but more of a dark smoke color

* There are 3 individual cutouts for the components on the back

* There is no silly cutout for the battery cover nail groove

* The skin extends in over the bezel further than the argyle TPU, covering the screen seams

* The mic cutout is smaller than the argyle's

* The power and volume buttons stand out further than the argyle's, making them easier to find by touch

I definitely prefer this skin to the others. IMO, it provides the best tradeoff in terms of protection, looks and bulk.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MsRandall:
Bought the argyle verison skin on ebay...then the non patterned ones. Been an epik case lover for ages...Well I tell you the ebay non patterned skins and the epik cases come in the same packaging. Note the original epik cases didnt come in retail packaging. When I emailed the seller he confirmed that they could sold by other ebay sellers too....hmmmm :eek:
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
I feel the same about the bulk. I like what people have been doing for the iPhone and skinning it which leaves it thin and adds a small layer of protection to it. I think the EVO could benefit from the same. (just my personal thoughts on the matter).
[EVO 4G Accessories] stroths:
I just got that same Argyle case in the mail today and have the Epik one on order as well. The Argyle looks pretty nice, but the lip that extends past the screen is bugging me some. I guess I will get use to it. Does the Epik have the same lip or is it more flattened out?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrfuzzie23:
pretty interested in this case, any chance you could post any pics of it since they dont have any in the ebay listing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Just for the record, it does seem like a photosphop mockup (coloring wise) but the shape of the cutouts on the Amzer page is accurate. I got the Amzer Argyle skin off Amazon, took FOREVER to ship and then like 2-3 weeks to get here once it shipped but I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm pretty darn sure that the Amzer Argyle skins and the Epik TPU cases (along w/a couple other plain TPU cases on Ebay) share the same mold, based on the comparison/description that catpunt posted above.

My Amzer skin also recesses the lens (just enough to protect it) and also extends just past the screen seams. Anyway, I'll be able to confirm just how close the two skins are (Amzer/Epik) in a few days, I ordered a couple of Epik ones as well from DCMugen on Ebay. $7.50 for a red and a black + a screen protector and a cleaning wipe, why the heck not?

I ordered the Epik one even tho I already have the Amzer one for two reasons... Number one, I want to see how they look w/a clear battery door, showing off the phone's red internals thru the case. I can do that w/Amzer's but it might look too busy, even tho I actually don't mind the Argyle pattern. It's VERY subdued and nowhere near as prominent as it is on Amzer's site. I'll post some comparison pics once I've got all three cases in my hands.

The other reason I ordered the Epik one in red and black is the coloring or tint on the Amzer one... On the back it seems pretty black/grey, as you'd expect, but around the side edges it's a bit off... Has a bit of a brown tint to it, maybe a mix of amber and black. It doesn't look bad, just a tiny bit off. The Epik case looks to be a truer shade of smoke black all around (and the red looks pretty close to the EVO's red details). I think Amzer's oddity might be a function of the Argyle pattern, it's sort of etched on the inside. It might affect the coloring somehow.

In the end, these are all probably coming from the same source, except for the Argyle batches on Ebay w/those odd cutouts, the large single cutout for LED/camera/speaker and that weird one for the fingernail hole on the battery lid. Like I said, I'll post pics when I get my Amzer ones. I'm surprised that there's like no pics whatsoever out there of how the red one looks ON the phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
In summary, Amzer Argyle != Ebay Argyle, Amzer's skin seems to be higher quality, definitely sourced from a different place. Amzer's colors are way off on their pics tho, the colors are closer to what the other Argyle skins look like, tho there seems to be some variation on the black/smoked one.

Overall I'm loving these TPU skin/cases tho... They blow the silicon ones out of the water. My silicon case didn't catch the inside of my pockets that much, but enough to be a bother, these slip out super easy but they've still got very good grip on your hand (perhaps better than silicon even). They also don't attract dust/lint AT ALL, my silicon case would develop this crusty line of crap along the screen edges within just a day of cleaning it, was pretty irritating.

Finally, as others have said, they feel way more svelte on your hand than the HTC/OEM silicon case... I don't know if it's the way the corners are rounded off or what, but it's a big difference in feel (altho probably not a huge difference in reality, they're thinner but not THAT much thinner). Oh and they're much more rigid/tight around the phone, the edges around the screen don't flop out, AT ALL... On silicon cases after a few weeks (or even when they're brand new) you can stretch 'em pretty easily by just flicking at it or if your thumb slips off screen... Not so with these.

TPU >>>>>>>>>>> silicon

You guys are aware that there is a person on this board selling TPU cases right?

And they are nice, got 4 of them for 19 dollars, shipping included.

Quick bit of take to make the button mashing easier and they are perfect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
I bought an Epik. Hate it. So far the best TPU case I've found is the one in the "Evo TPU Cases available" thread. It's clear, and the back is a matte finish. The Epik is super thick and bows out on the sides.

Hey guys,

I accidently deleted a file called services.exe from device/windows/autostart.

Since then the device gets stuck at windows "the orange screen" when i do a soft reset. However I can still get in, the device starts, after doing a soft reset (maybe twice or thre times!) by presing the tiny red button behind the battery cover. When the device starts i notice no difference in performence.

I've no idea, but can someone please uppload "services.exe" from autostart or whatever files there's necessary to start the device properly. I'm running Swedish stock 1.66 ROM.

Thanks a lot

Same but only the black background stuck..i tried getting rid of the arrows and then changing to a custom background and no go. it did actually change to a background once but not even close to the one I picked.

I know he mentions the app that mods the themes doesnt always make the changes or something the first time through so maybe the issue is with how the theme is implemented..

I got the black background one to finally stick so I saved it like that! lol
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
I have noticed a problem with the video recording on my HD2 as of lately. When I get ready to record a video the image on the screen is sharp. As soon as I hit the record button the image goes out of focus and is no longer sharp. As soon as I stop recording the image on the screen is sharp again. I don't remember it doing this when I first got the phone. I'm not sure if I changed something in the registry to cause this problem or not. Has anyone else heard of this happening or know of a way to fix it? I searched, but it does not look like others have posted this issue before.

Thanks

P.S. Here are my video settings as of now.

Resolution VGA (640x480)

Review Duration: No Review

Capture Format: MPEG4

Sharpness +5
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Sounds like the auto focus is some how messing up. Could be something on the lens that is making out of focus or something. Not sure what else would cause that. If you are running a cooked rom maybe try reflashing it.
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
The lens is clean and the camera focus is fine in camera mode. It will also focus fine in video mode until the second I hit the record button. The focus issue only occurs when I hit record to capture a video.
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
Am I really the only person with this problem?
[HD2 General] rickssj4:
I also have this problem but with the normal HD2, the camera for pictures works fine. The problem occurs when recording video, first its all clear..hit record...blurry...im not sure what to do :O
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
Glad to know I'm not alone in this problem. I tried to record a quick clip today at work, and the camera was actually able to stay in focus when I hit the record button. Here is the sample clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB70tTDl1t0

This is the best quality I have been able to get out of it. I'm going to keep messing with it to see if anything changes.

[HD2 General] Caribeanbreeze22:
Sorry if there is an answer somewhere already, but I have been looking around for 20 minutes and I'm giving up and posting a thread. I have like five programs that won't uninstall when I go into the settings-->remove programs application. It comes up with a message that says "XXXX was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"

Has anybody had this also? How do I get it completely off my phone/get the memory back?

One more thing, I have a program called "AA AA" and I know for sure that I didn't install a cab with that name, so what the hell is it? I'm a noob with WinMo so sorry if it's simple **** haha.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
For programs that say they didn't uninstall completely, the method I use to get them out is this:

1) run the cab again, the same one you used to install a/the app in the first place

2) when it gives you option or error dialogs, just click "ok" or "yes" to all of them, to allow it to go through what looks like another complete install process (yes, it's odd, but this is how to do it).

3) when it's done, soft-reset, and then you should find that there's no more trace of the app in your uninstall list.

Don't ask me how/why that works, but I've used it in many instances for just that reason, and it's worked every time I tried it.

As for that "AA AA" app, I've certainly never seen a cab that used that name (fyi, the name in the uninstall list doesn't necessarily match the name of the cab file...only if the person creating it set it up that way). So...I'd just say uninstall it, and see if any apps/links are missing then.
[HD2 General] shaggyguitarist:
This thread is closest to my problem,so I'm asking here.

I cant uninstall ANY of my programs, I have tried the usual method from the remove programs section in Settings. I get same error as OP.

When that failed I then try to just delete the program folder from program files, using file explorer, but get an error saying 'Access is denied. Be certain the folder isn't in use and not write protected'

At first I thought I had a memory card problem, but its the same regardless of where the program is installed.

I also tried to re-install the programs from their cab files as described above, but get an 'unsuccessful' message.

I cant rename any files anywhere on my device either.

I know a little about write protection, but cant figure out what my problem is or how to fix it.

I hope I explained properly for someone to help.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] ElectronX:
It looks like that the installer process "wceload.exe" was not correctly quit and is still in the memory. Terminate the process wceload.exe with a task manager and try again.
[HD2 General] shaggyguitarist:
Thanks ElectronX.

I did a search on my HD2 for the file you mentioned and couldn't find it. I have Duttys task manager installed and after a soft reset, the problem still remains. The task manager is empty of processes when I start the device.

Im sorry that Im a bit clueless to how to achieve what you suggest.
[HD2 General] shaggyguitarist:
I have discovered that the problem extends beyond removing and installing programs. I cant do anything in file explorer other than open documents. If I want to move, delete, rename any file on the device I get the 'write protected' error message. I cant do it via active sync either..I connected to the computer and could browse my device, but if I tried deleting, moving or renaming, the message said it didn't have permission to do it.

Last resort is a hard reset, but hopefully someone will be able to help.

Type the following in ADB shell:

/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/app

/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/app-private

/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/app

/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/app-private

/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/app

/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/app-private

/system/xbin/busybox cp /system/sd/app/* /data/app

/system/xbin/busybox cp /system/sd/app-private/* /data/app-private

Now your programs should be back on the SD card.

To move dalvik-cache, while in ADB Shell, type the following commands:

/system/xbin/busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache

/system/xbin/busybox mkdir /data/dalvik-cache

/system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /data/dalvik-cache

/system/xbin/busybox cp -f /system/sd/dalvik-cache/* /data/dalvik-cache

Now, your phone is now using internal storage. Reboot the phone to make sure the changes stay (make sure the A2SD and Dalvik-Cache to SD is off in Dconfig).

If that doesn't work, download Darktremor A2SD 2.7 Update 3. Once that is flashed and you have your phone booted, type the following in an ADB shell:

a2sd remove

That will move everything back to internal storage and sets a flag (called .noa2sd) on your SD card to prevent the data from being moved again (until you reactivate it using a2sd install)

Hope that helps.

The HTC Evo front-facing camera will not take an image in standard left-right format. I can see the argument for providing a mirror image to the display when setting up a picture (self-portraits), but the result (the actual picture) should not be mirrored.

If using Skype through Fring to video chat (which is really cool, BTW if just a little choppy) the video feed I'm providing to the other party is again mirrored.

It's clear there is a deliberate manipulation of the images going on here, but I can't make out why they would do that. Is there some fix, upgrade, or setting that will clear the problem?

I have not yet rooted my phone, and honestly I'm new to Android (much more familiar with security unlocking and re-flashing WinMo phones up to this point) so I might need the less-than-expert explanation if that's what's needed. ;-)
