I work selling phones.. So I get asked for the otterbox all the time.. despite never having any..

However, I am wondering if anyone else out there feels the otterbox is over rated... I mean sure it may protect your phone from a nuclear holocaust.. However, if your buying a phone that is a half an inch thick.. it probably adds two and a half inches to it.. (exaggerated I know but, you get the point).

While while I know everyone wants their phone to be protected..It seems sort of ironic that you find a phone that you like... (I personally love the style of the nexus one from what I've seen.. I'll judge it more in real life when/if I get one)... However meandering back on topic.. If you like the style of your phone.. why get a huge bulky case for it? I mean I see it every day.. people want the iphone and love the way it "looks".. (iphone is best example I can think of atm).. And then they turn around and want an otterbox to protect it..

I know accidents happen and we are willing to do what it takes to make sure our investments stay pretty.... However, Lately I've come to wonder if thins like otterbox are really the answer....

*edit* I also laugh because people keep telling me it is waterproof.. and with a name like OTTER box you would think it is... but, the majority of them warn "not protective against water"
[Nexus One Accessories] PhantomRampage:
You're assuming people buy fancy phones because of how they look and not functionality. I bought a Nexus One because of it's power. It's looks are a nice plus since it's so sleek, but really i just want a great phone that can do the things i want it to do.

When people go buy an iphone or any other smart phone sure they think it looks cool and its a factor in their decision to buy said phone but at the end of the day does it matter how it looks? Or is it more important to make sure your $200-$500 investment stays protected?

I have the otterbox commuter series for my N1 and although it makes it slightly larger i love it and am glad i got it. Helps me put my head at ease since i'm afraid of dropping it and whatnot
[Nexus One Accessories] Snow_fox:
Don't mistake me I'm not putting anyone down for buying an otterbox..

However, I've noticed the ones for the iphone multiply the size alot..

And for what you pay for an otter box it does do its job I don't think there is any denying that..

However, while you do buy smartphones for functionality, I think it is safe to say we expect them to look nice as well...

My main concern when dropping more or less any phone is scratching it not it breaking altogether.. However, there in lies the irony.. Huge bulky case which adds considerable size to the phone..

Or worrying about having it scratched or possibly break.. with that said any sane person would go for some form of protection.. However, I suppose I just see an irony if the phone is comfortable before the case and less so after.. when comfort of use is something I imagen most of us would demand from a phone.
[Nexus One Accessories] Namuna:
For us N1 owners, remember that we bought it sight unseen (going solely by pictures). So I think a large majority got this phone because it was (and still is) the badass world changer... Sleakness and style were just a bonus.

Particularly for me, I have big hands (i wear size xl gloves), so having this ultra thin phone in my hand just doesn't feel comfy.

I had the body glove first and liked out alot, but when I saw the pics for the Otterbox Commuter, I had to have it!

The little bit of extra thickness is actually welcome and fits beautifully in my hand now. It's also one of the few (maybe only) cases that plugs the power and headset ports.

Anyway, your point about the irony of people buying a phone because of its sexy sleekness, to only put some case on it is valid... Just no so much so for us N1 folks that bought it for what it can do, not so much how it looks! :)
[Nexus One Accessories] vzontini:
Using the iPhone as an example I think people get cases because you can't get decent insurance for the phone from AT&T (may change with iPhone 4, who knows). If you break your iPhone you are out a sizable lump sum which some people can't afford. A case is inexpensive protection against some of this risk.

Since you can get a $6/mo full replacement insurance on the Nexus One this risk is less of a problem, but even with lower risk dealing with insurance claims are inconvenient. A case then boils down to how abusive you are to devices. I have friends that drop their phone *all the time* so a strong protective case is mandatory or their phone wouldn't last a month.

It's all a trade-off. I usually don't use a case on my phone but if I'm doing something higher risk having a case around to pop-on is a nice option.
[Nexus One Accessories] Snow_fox:
That is a very good point. Things can appear very differently once you see them in real life from the glamour shots on google.

With that said, I suppose it is because I do find the nexus one aesthetically pleasing that I am so easily able to ask. It was a logically fallacy to think that others had the same views on aesthetics I did.

And if in the next week or two I pull the trigger, I will be pulling it for what I want the phone to do.. not for how it looks.. Although if a phone looked "unacceptable" in terms of aethetics.. It better be a marvel of modern science.

I am not obsessed with looks by any means but, I suppose I expect things to have some sense of style.
[Nexus One Accessories] kmacks27:
I have the Otterbox commuter case. There not to bulky mostly use it when im at work other than that I don't use a case for my Nexus.
[Nexus One Accessories] MaximReapage:
I couldn't justify anything bigger than an invisible protector for daily use....but that's because anything else would interfere with the car dock

My N1 lives in the neoprene sleeve it came with as I'm paranoid about it getting damaged. I hadn't heard of Otterbox until now, after having a look I think I may have to get one :)
[Nexus One Accessories] OrganizedFellow:
So true!

Just like when I bought my G1.

It was rectangular. Had this silly chin thing on it. And it was thick!!!

But I didn't care about how thick it was, or how it looked, or how it was perceived by anyone. I KNEW, that with support from Google, it would be the best device I ever owned.

AND THENNNN, came the announcement of the Nexus One :)

My heart just about stopped!

Both phones were and are ahead of their time (in my opinion).

Both my G1 and N1, only have a screen protector.

I've never been afraid of dropping my phone, because I never have.

It's never in my top shirt pocket. Never in a belt holster. It's always safe in my pocket, safe in my palm, or safe sitting on my desk.

As for bulky protectors?

That's why I don't dare buy one.

I've yet to read a 10 star review for a protective thing case.

Until then, I'll continue to baby my N1 :)

My buddy heard about the Quadrant benchmark app, and wanted to compare the results of his EVO to my Nexus.

He was shocked that my 6 month old device kicked his ash, hahaha.

Nope he only want's to change bootanimtion which is possible only with root, and htc logo you are talking about will be never possible to change(as you said);)
[Desire General] twistedumbrella:
NEVER is a pretty concrete word for having not done any research on the matter. I am assuming this because the boot logo is something that has been changed since back in the days of the original G1. It does require access to the bootloader, but the basic concept is demonstrated:

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Nothing to do with gps, my location doesnt use gps. It gets the data from the phone masts.

Go to the weather tab. Place your finger on the screen and swipe down until your location comes up. Go back to home tab. Weather should match.

Cannot connect with current connection settings to change your current connection settings tap settings

I’m running Windows xp home with a Dlink EBR 2310 Router.

I’ve forwarded port 3389

I have tried the local Ip-adress and my computer Ip-adress, and I have allow connection for remote desktop.

What am I doing wrong???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] Izod2010:
hum ok then i know same thing every forum you go to newbie thing well i used Google and the search bar
[HD2 General] HTC-187:
are you trying to connect while on the same network (i.e. you're at home on your phone where your computer, and router are)?

or are you trying to connect while at another wi-fi location? (away from the location where your computer is)?
[HD2 General] Izod2010:
at home please note remote desktop is new with me but however i found tutorials at pocketpc i know computers pretty well but this has me stumped....

what would it have to do with the net work? I should be able to connect to my pc even if i was down the street also my computer is not running off WiFi or a wireless router.
[HD2 General] HTC-187:
I'm no expert by any means, but I managed to connect to remote desktop by using this:

Computer: (use your computers IP address, not your routers)

User: (should be the same as your normal sign in)

Password: (self explanitory)

Domain: (Leave blank)

This worked for me, but I am on the same network as my computer.. I DON'T know how to log in from another wi-fi point.

Izod2010, let me know if this works (on your home network)

If somebody knows how to get remote desktop from an outside Wi-Fi point, please let me (us) know.

[HD2 General] HTC-187:
oh, btw. what operating system are you running? I think you have to have XP professional or newer to run RDT... and like the one website said (that I linked to).. I believe that you need to go into it (on your computer) and allow RDT accessability from outside computers.

other than that, I have no idea.

[HD2 General] ddavis75007:
For Remote Desktop you must have XP Pro. XP Home and all other "Home" Windows do not come with the Remote Desktop Server. They do come with the Remote Desktop Client (RDC) so you can connect from the "Home" PC to some other "Pro" system. But you cannot use Remote Desktop Client (RDC) from anything to cennect to a "Home" Windows System. For a "Pro" system, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" and then select the "Remote" tab to turn on Remote Desktop Server.

Did you get this to work?

Hello,

could you ever get this to work out??

It was working fine on my touchpro 2, and I used it almost everyday with no problem.

ever since I got my HD2, it NEVER worked, and I tried every way possible. Every time I asked I was told to do the steps mentioned in your post replies and they told me you're a newbie maybe you can't figure it out, Ive been using windows mobile for nearly 10 years now, and I used remote desktop since it was first launched!! and it worked perfect every time.

There is a problem that I can't figure out, Im a computer software engineer and Ive been trying EVERYTHING possible. Something is missing, and wm experts and neglecting this, thinking that we're newbies and just can't figure it out.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidTeam5:
Hi!!

I need help about getting Bluetooth in the Nexus One to be discoverable for more than 300 seconds and also doing this without the user having to click "YES" every time the dialog pops up asking for Bluetooth Permission. I am writing a small app that requires bluetooth to be on for a much longer time than that. Thus, I need to know if there is someway around this problem without having to change the whole android platform. I saw a thread posted by Paragnosta showing us where the problem lies. However, I do not know how to achieve this solution. This is the code that would enable bluetooth discoverable mode for 300 seconds. Any time more than that will be "capped."

Intent discoverableIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE); discoverableIntent.putExtra(BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION, 300);

startActivity(discoverableIntent);

Thank you.

Sincerely,

AndroidTeam5

Hello all, here is the newest Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220152721_0 from Huashan ported to VGA. All credit go to WoZZeR999 for his port ,pyrorob for his porting template(a phcanrc.dll from Leo Phone Canvas) and amarullz for his phcanvga.exe!

Why this one:

1. It supports WM6.5.3(231XX) natively. No more Caller ID issue or graphical glitches.

2. It supports video call.

Why not the one from Oboe(seems much newer):

1. It has dual SIM support thus if we want to use it we need to get rid of its dual SIM support(e.g. hex edit), otherwise we can't even make a call.

2. It doesn't support video call.

The attached zip has two packages inside: Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220152721_0(Phone Canvas itself), Video_Telephony_3_0_38566_0(a dependency of the Phone Canvas).

All packages are with 0804 localization, 0409 localization attached seperately.

Please download the phcanrc.dll attached and replace the one in the original package to get VGA resolution. And please make the phcanvga.exe start on boot(put a link in /Windows/StartUp).

This Phone Canvas won't work on AKU versions other than 6.5.3.

Again thanks WoZZeR999 for his port!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
The Haushan rom doesn't need the ipdial package, just for info. It does need the Video Telephony package.

The package seems to be very similar to the leo 2g stuff, so it may be possible (if the leo 2g was converted to vga) to just replace a few files with the leo ones (anything that has dialog and image resources).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Ok, I will remove the IP dial package. But there is a option in the Phone Canvas menu to open IP dial.

I guess the resources inside the dlls have changed a lot, simply replacing files doesn't sound good and we will lose 6.5.3 compatibilty.

And it's "Huashan" instead of "Haushan", Huashan is a famous mountain in China, literally translated as "Hua Mountain".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
Sorry, my mistype.

I know that the CMYLXGO Leo 2g dialer skins it perfectly. -- After looking at it, phcanImages probably does not have any of the screen res stuff in it, so my mistake.

I'm using Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220142530_0, so I don't know if they added IP Dialer, but I don't need it to make calls. (No option shows up for it either)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
IP dialing in the right soft key menu in 0804 mui. Basically, we only need to port phcanrc.dll.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
If you can attach the most recent vga phcanrc file, I can try my hand at editing the Huashan phcanrc.dll for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Oh really? Thanks! I attached the most recent ported Qilin Phone Canvas Enhancement(which is the most like Huashan one) phcanrc.dll. phcanvga.exe also(the program to push the phone canvas upwards, you can ignore it, I just upload in case).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
I can transfer most of the dialog boxes over, but there's 5 more in the Huashan, and without a vga device I can't test them. I'll have this done in a few minutes, so you can test if it mostly works, and give screen shots of stuff that doesn't.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Ok, great, I've just tried that phcanrc.dll that I attached before, but not thinking it good. So I have another dll for you, you may also do some modifications. The attached phcanrc.dll here is almost perfect, but it may be different from Huashan one, hope you can have a look at it and try to use it as a template.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
This one looks much better. The other one you posted didn't look like it was really changed much (still had 800x480) dialog boxes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Yeah, the latter one I posted is really working like a charm for me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
Ok, I've got a real quick hackjob here for you to test. Let me know if this works for you (and screen shots of parts that don't work).

You'll have to rename it (I had to name the different phcan's in the folder so I knew what was from what)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Wow that's fascinating! Cooking as I type, will tell you the result, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
I hope it works. It looked like most of the dialog boxes were the same (with just some re-arranging for VGA). Same ID numbers for the buttons and stuff (but different dialog box ID).

Edit: It shouldn't matter, but I used the Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220142530_0 which is 2014, and the one you posted is 2015.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
What I want to say is just: cool! Portrait almost perfect except this:

The three buttons should be moved up a bit, to center in the dialog.

And landscape is quite unusable, like:

I am not quite sure if you can fix the landscape(it might just not support landscape).

Hope you can fix these bugs, and maybe re-port from 2015 dll? 2015 dll may work better.

Thanks for you port!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
I'll give the 2015 a shot. But the same errors may come up (since I'm just doing a quick hack until I can see what's wrong with it).

Edit: Here's another attempt at it, with the 2015 DLL. I didn't move any buttons, but I did pay closer attention while I was moving stuff. Hopefully this fixes the landscape issue.

Edit2: Also, can you show me a landscape of how it's supposed to look?

Edit3: I think the problem is the keypad on the 2014 Phone canvas, it doesn't look correct on my Rhod either. The pad is blank, like in your screen shot. This may happen in the 2015 as well. I have a package for Phone Canvas 5.1, but I can't seem to get it working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Ok, I'm recooking, will tell you whether the save to contacts dialog issue still persists.

Guess we should stop playing with landscape, I found the dialer trying its best to rotate back to portrait lol.

Never expected it would be done this quick, thanks!

That 5.1 is the one from Oboe, and as I said in #1:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
The new one is not working:(, see the screenshot:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WoZZeR999:
It's getting late here, I got the 2 (landscape and portrait) backwards. I think I may know what's causing the landscape problem as well. Give me a few minutes :D

Edit: This *SHOULD* be correct. I checked it after against the original phcanrc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
This one works just like the 2014 one you posted, landscape not working but that's alright, in portrait mode, that Save Contact dialog still has the issue.

Maybe we should make it perfect tomorrow to let you catch some Zs for now?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cp0020:
i was just curious if the hero was getting the 2.2 update? doesnt look like much of a difference but im still curious
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevinXtreme:
It is highly unlikely that we will see an official release of 2.2, but the devs here on this forum will try to work on it. darchstar has already stated that when the 2.2 source is released and implemented into Cyanogen mod, he will port it over.

While it might seem that different, there are a lot of major changes, especially in speeed. The Market has an autoupdate feature in 2.2, Apps2SD is built in (but, I assume, it's not based on our same Apps2SD. Just the same function), and JIT is fully functioning and working as it should. The Nexus One running 2.2 runs almost 8 times faster than it does with 2.1, or so I've been told.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldc2335:
lol, let the 2.2 threads begin....

We barely got 2.1.

Im sure after the devs get froyo working, sprint will steal it, mod it slightly, leak it back out to the devs for them to tweak, and us to test, then sprint will release it officially about 6 months later, blaming htc for the hold up and it will still have tons of problems. Then the devs will figure out how to root it and sprint/htc will put out a update almost the next day to patch the root exploit.

Anyone else have a idea?
