Well, I heard a wise man in these forums once say, if you start looking for problems you will find them all over the place :D

First thing I would do, enjoy it :D

But in direct response to your question, you should be able to find any major defects in the phone that would hinder longevity or performance. So just get some good use out of it for 15 days and then check your list :D

...higher quality screen? lol thats the first I have heard!
[HTC Aria Accessories] sunny342:
So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.

Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.
[HTC Aria Accessories] clickclickpc:
The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.
[HTC Aria Accessories] seboj:
When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.
[HTC Aria Accessories] yanney:
i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.

didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.

also, it was in a package that said soft case.
[HTC Aria Accessories] pcruz:
I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.
[HTC Aria Accessories] jbizz:
yeah, it is the case that says HTC on the back, and its the only one they have. its horrible, and very troublesome to unlock the phone.
[HTC Aria Accessories] AzNnYx:
It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend :D

AS ANYONE TRIED USING A HD MINI SILCON CASE, OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL FIT. aS WELL AS PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. damn caps lock sorry:o
[HTC Aria Accessories] clickclickpc:
The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.
[HTC Aria Accessories] jbizz:
yeah, i really liked the case... so i might just have to try your method. thanks!

Don't have the case anymore, but you can fit an index finger between the case and the phone without much effort.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.

It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

how are does Amzer® Rubberized Black Snap On Crystal Hard Case fit?

Anyone try this one yet?

[HTC Aria Accessories] seboj:
Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Corporate Dog:
As I've mentioned in other threads, I ordered one of these cases for my Aria:

http://www.netimes.com/shop/flip-ca...c-hd-mini-htc-photon-p-2672.html?cPath=80_754

And it just arrived today.

The case is awesome. It fits like a glove, all the openings are in all the right places, and it keeps my screen protected (at least, until I flip it open). I question the utility of the SD card compartment, though. It seems to me that you might risk scratching your screen if you use it.

The clip system works nicely; there's a screw-in stud on the back of the case, that clicks into the belt clip. To take the phone off the clip, all you have to do is press a button at the top of the clip, and slide the phone off. Very easy to use one-handed.

I do wish the clip felt a little more solid, though. The phone won't go anywhere, but it does swivel around a little bit. The whole thing also tilts out at an angle from my belt.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the pdair cases (which are already pretty reasonably priced) you really can't go wrong with this one. Including the cheapest shipping option, I only paid $10 and change for it.

UPDATE: After a few more days of use, I've discovered a flaw that this case has when used with the Aria: the case covers up the Aria's sensor suite. This means that when you make or receive a phone call, the phone IMMEDIATELY goes into keylock mode (because it assume you have the phone up to your ear) and then when you're done with the call, you need to slide the phone out of the case a little bit, in order to resume using it.

I intend to take a leather punch to the upper right corner of the case, in order to expose the sensors.

Regards,

Corporate Dog
[HTC Aria Accessories] Cinderous:
The pdair one is similar to one I had for my ipod nano and it definitely protected it from drops (i drop my devices too often). Although I hear you on the otterbox case, I had one for my ipod touch and that thing was as solid as they get. If you haven't already, there's a way to contact them on their website to request specific cases, I'm sure if they see enough demand they'll make us something :)
[HTC Aria Accessories] sunny342:
Just a thought but since the aria uses its back cover as the antenna wouldn't a silicon case reduce signal strenght.

Sent from my HTC Aria
[HTC Aria Accessories] Gorilla800lbs:
Solid silicon (as in "metal") could indeed be an issue, but silicone (as in "silicon-based semi-amorphous polymer") would not pose an obstacle. :)

The issue, if it existed, would have nothing to do with Arias antenna design. No matter what it would be, the unit would indeed be encased in silicone on one side and shielded by the signal-absorbing human head on the other...
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
Being as I managed to crack the digitizer on my Aria on the 8th day I owned it, I think I need something protective.

What is the slimmest, most low-profile protective cover/skin/case I can get? Thinking maybe that Amzer Argyle one might fit the bill. I am not hard on phones but I just want to protect against that wickedly expensive corner impact.

Ideally I'd rather just have a "bumper" that went around the edge and didn't add any thickness.

Well, ideally I'd rather just have a phone that didn't require kid gloves or an accessory in order to withstand the normal bumps that come with everyday use.
[HTC Aria Accessories] matt_b:
how did you crack the digitizer on your screen through normal use?
[HTC Aria Accessories] eortizr:
In my case I crack my digitizer while the phone was in my hand. All the phone needs is a little impact on the top right corner.. and is gone...
[HTC Aria Accessories] ryan92084:
If you do go with an argyle luxe case give us a mini review, I was eyeing that one as well.
[HTC Aria Accessories] littlerob904:
Good luck getting one. They are perpetually unavailable from Amzer's website. I ordered one from Amazon back in June and it still hasn't shipped. I've yet to find any other decent looking hard cases though.
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
daughter had it on her lap in a chair, stood up and the phone fell about 18" to the floor. that should be considered a pretty normal use case for a handheld device.
[HTC Aria Accessories] sunny342:
Just got my pdair silicon case in the mail. It fits perfectly (it is actually the he mini case). The buttons are easy to press. I didn't have a problem changing the volume or uunlocking the phone. This is my first silicon case ever, and i was under the impression that silicon is more rubber like. It feels more like flexible plastic. It is pretty snug (i can peel it of but it will not fall off). So i am happy with it. Just saying but shipping to texas took like 2 and a half weeks. Too long for me!

My amzer argyle case came today (after a whole month of it being on back order) and it fits the phone very well and adds minimal bulk.

I probably should've gotten one of these BEFORE my screen cracked after I accidentally dropped it in my friend's driveway. I also just got a replacement digitizer that I'll be installing once my tri wing screwdriver gets here...from Hong Kong.
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
I ordered a TPU Flexi Skin Case from handhelditems.com, appears to be identical to the Amzer Argyle case but without the argyle pattern. We'll see what it looks like when it gets here.
[HTC Aria Accessories] vonsamurai:
mr72 that site DOES have an argyle case that's practically identical to the amzer AND is a few bucks cheaper. just my luck. I wish I had known about all these cheaper alternatives before I dropped 15 bucks on the amzer (and waited...and waited...and waited...and...).

http://www.sourcingmap.com/htc-c-980_1398_1730.html
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
yeah the non-argyle one was a buck or so cheaper and I wasn't exactly keen on that argyle pattern. plain old smoke grey should work for me.
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
I got my TPU case from handhelditems.com and it fits perfectly, looks great.
[HTC Aria Accessories] imhuy:
Can you take pictures of the TPU Flexi case for me? I am looking to order that one since it seems like a good case. Does it attract a lot of dust and lint from your pockets? How much more bulk? Finding a case for Aria is tough.

You guys might want to check out Stealth Guards for protection from trapped dust under the cases. It's free and $2.85 shipping for full body shield. VERY good deal.

I recently ordered this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180542621980&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Aside from the fact that it has an ugly grim reaper on it (there were no full black one and I thought the grim reaper was not too noticeable, I was wrong) and arrived partially cracked, it does not align very well as you can see from the fourth picture. Also, the plastic is very poor quality.
[HTC Aria Accessories] littlerob904:
Received my agyle lux case today. It fit's great, looks pretty good. They are readily available from amzer's site now, I actually still have an open order on amazon from a months ago that has yet to be filled though.
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
well, no since my camera is in my phone ...

but, it is very similar, but not identical, to the "HTC" branded TPU case you can get at the AT&T store. The HTC one has a little smoother molding on the edge (there's a noticeable ridge from the mold on the generic case, not so on the HTC), smaller opening on the headphone jack, and a larger opening at the bottom for the power and microphone. Also, the HTC branded TPU case makes it quite hard to press the power/lock button, but the generic one is very easy to press the power/lock button.

The HTC case looks better but the lock button thing is enough to be a deal-breaker. The generic case is the clear winner.

As far as bulk, it adds a couple of mm in each dimension. It also has a lip around the front edge of the glass so it recesses the glass about 1mm. This is a big benefit for protection IMHO. However, the Aria will not fit in my car mount with the case on it, which is kind of a pain. The phone is sleek and surprisingly compact with no case and feels much more bulky in your hand with the case even though it is minimally different in actual dimensions.

Neither TPU case collects any lint. They are more sticky than the soft-touch finish of the phone (doesn't slip off the dash in my car) but not sticky enough to impede taking the phone out of your pocket.
[HTC Aria Accessories] imhuy:
Thanks for the detailed description of the case. I think I'll give it a shot. My eBay case is becoming quite an annoyance.
[HTC Aria Accessories] woodsytattooman:

Hey guy i have a sucess story to share. Well i bought a silicon case from pdair for a hd mini and have been using it on my aria. It fits great and all but it works great too. I dropped my phone from about 3ft yesterday on a concrete basketball court. It fell on the top right corner. When it hit the ground it bounced up about half a ft and then landed on its back. No damage whatsoever on the phone itself although there is a little scuff on the case where it fell. I think the case did its job.

[HTC Aria Accessories] soulonfirexx:
Actually, it fits very nicely for me. Only thing is that they are kind of cheaply made. The bottom snap connections on mine broke after opening my case for the first time after putting it on.

I put it on for a day before putting on my screen protector, didn't have time for it. When it came time to put the screen protector on, used my girlfriend's hair clip to pry it open and I see the plastic go white. Right side fully comes off, left is still hanging on but doesn't snap on or hold. Bottom of the case will separate if you use a bit of force to pry them apart but it holds as a whole. I sent them an email to see if I can get a replacement.

I picked this red silicone case up at Quail Springs Mall at one of the little kiosks for $18 with tax. Fits like a glove. No problems with any of the buttons, locking, volume, etc. I feel much better about dropping my phone off my lap every now and again. I bet these kiosks exist at just about any mall in the US. I know all the malls in Oklahoma City have them.

Update on my case -

I emailed Amzer telling them the bottom locks on my case broke. Looks like they're going to send me a free case for a replacement. Looks like they have great customer service at least!
[HTC Aria Accessories] Anthony1s:
I'm using a old Belkin leather slip in pouch that was for a Motorola Z9. It doesn't give me much protection when my Aria is out of the pouch, but having to take it in and out reminds me to be more careful when handling my phone. For now, I don't mind the extra size in my pocket. Sometimes the inner design will get transfered to my screen and I have to wipe it off. I gotta go to Best Buy today, so I'll have a look around for what they have for my lil Aria.
[HTC Aria Accessories] joshua54:
I had to run around With amzer but I finally got the soft gel black and the rubberized snap on..both fit

Very well..had to sand down edges of the hard shell..didnt line up exactly but was still a snug fit..i can say that the thick rubber corners on the rubber case had saved me more than once.. My original aria was dropped from 18 inchs and cracked (no case)...with the rubber case I dropped it from about 4 feet and it bounced right off the corner! No damage at all:)...I also had the HTC case from ATT I liked it other than the power button issue and it didn't come over the edge if the glass at all....the amzer cases secure it in nicely... both:)
[HTC Aria Accessories] DownTheCross:
I dont know if anyone has already said anything but if it's already been said im sorry in advance.

I was in radioshack last week or the week before and i asked about aria cases and the salesman said that otterbox was working on developing one and it should be out sometime soonish. he figured octoberish.
[HTC Aria Accessories] sillyxone:
I confirm that, although I bought the rubberized case at handhelditems. My wife's case was broken in shipping and they sent a replacement for free. I had to use my pocket knife to carve off the edge to make them fit and feel nicer, but at the same time exposed the white plastic behind the rubber coating (it ended up as a straight white trim line around the phone, look cool though).

I like the rubberized one, feel exactly like the org case of the Aria. Drop once from 4 ft, nothing happened.

I also put a screen protector on (from handhelditems too). Not sure how strong/protective it is, but it's very clear, couldn't tell that it's there at all.
[HTC Aria Accessories] nrvate:
Best Buy is selling a silicone rubber case for $16 for the Aria. The packaging is labeled Intruder instead of Aria. It's a simple black rubber case that fits well and is pretty grippy -- helps prevent the phone from sliding around.
[HTC Aria Accessories] lcw90:
I use the gel case from at&t. I'm satisfied for what it is. Like mentioned, the only drawback is that its a little tough pressing the power button until your use to it.

Hi all. I am new to the android platform. I have had my EVO since launch day, and previously came from the pre.

I am loving this phone, and am really looking to take the plunge into rooting, etc.

I have been doing a lot of reading through forums regarding how to root, ADB, etc.

There seems to be a lot of different info out there, just trying to take it all in.

Anyway..........I was wondering If I could get someone to maybe join me on MSN messenger to maybe help me understand this phone a little more and help me out with Full root access.

This would be greatly appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armystrong:
This is weird because with my Palm Pre (Sprint) I could send an MP3 or photo (2-4MB) to another phone via MMS with no problems. With the HTC EVO for some reason it doesn't send pictures or MP3's higher than a certain MB. Which means somewhere in the code the software limits the size of a MMS message.

I take a picture with my phone and try to send it to one of my contacts; it ends up putting it in a "slideshow" (CRAP quality) which reduces the size from 2-3MB to a few hundred KB's. It is very aggravating when this phone

can

take such high quality pictures and I am unable to share them with my friends.

So I am hoping that someone else (whom can do something about it) is POed with this and can attempt to find the root of this issue and develop a fix PLEASE!

I understand Sprint probably wants to limit bandwidth usage, but for me, I take a lot of pictures and like to share them with my friends. You may ask, why not use Facebook or an other image sharing site..... problem is they limit the size and/or resolution of the photos too!

I have made a couple of zips that allow you to enable or disable JIT on Senseless ROMS. Apply these in ClockworkMod Recovery to enable/disable JIT.

The enable_jit.zip contains the files from the Desire Thread/Unrevoked JIT Wiki and the disable_jit.zip contains the files from the Stock rom.

BE SURE TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!

Tested and working on:

Jager Senseless v1.7

Yeti ROM

PMF v1.1

Unrevoled ROM

Tested and NOT working on:

Stock (Random reboots)

CM5 Test 3 (Everything FCs on boot)

Most likely any other ROM with Sense

To see if JIT is enabled, while booted do the following:

adb shell
cd /system/bin/
getprop dalvik.vm.execution-mode

If JIT is enabled it should return:

int:jit

You can also compare Linpack and/or Quadrant scores from before you enabled JIT.

All credit goes to gr0gmint who got it working it on the Desire.

Again, do a NANDROID backup before you load these and please post your results with what ROM you are running.
