[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfsbayne:
i've done a little searching and i was hoping some of you could provide some clarity.

in some threads where gps problems were cited with different builds, i've seen some respond with "go check your gps.conf settings in system/etc".

i've looked in the system folder of a few different builds and i've not seen this file. is this file necessary for gps to work? if this file is missing, does the system try to locate using triangulation instead of gps? the reason i ask is that i don't see any difference in "my location"

in google maps when "use gps satellites" is enabled or disabled.

thanks for your replies!

This is a "port" of Android Phone 7 (HDPI) made to fit our smaller device screens.

All credit goes to newone757 for creating the idea.

I recreated the templates to better fit MDPI devices, and threw in some different icons that I used to create what you see in the preview.

​

Instructions:

1. Download icon pack from bottom of post and extract to your SD card

1. Install LauncherPro (and activate Plus features to be able to resize the widgets properly)

2. Install Desktop Visualizer

3. In LauncherPro settings, under Advanced set homescreen rows to 5

4. Create a Desktop Visualizer(Large) widget with chosen image, and resize to correct dimensions (3x1 or 1x2)

5. Align them as shown in screenshot

6. Profit?

I also included PSD templates for the 3x1 and 1x2 images so you can feel free to create your own. Only thing to make sure you do is set the Clipping Mask on the 3x1 icon.

Lovin these. would it be to much to ask for an Wifi Tether, Market, ES Explore, XDA, and TitaniumBack up?

I dont have PS so i cant do them myself
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] andyriot:
Let me know which sizes you want them in and I will whip something up for you
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bigboidomo:
Wifi Tether,Market, ES Explore, TitaniumBack 3x1 and XDA 1x2 would be great. Thanks alot dude you pwn
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pwachleman:
Since youre taking requests...have anything good for setcpu or twitter? 3x1 and/or 1x2...Thank you! Wish I could figure out how to be creative!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
Below are some screenshots of some icons i put together.. my only problem is they don't look crisp and clear.. the full images were very clear images and were at least double in size if not larger before i resized them down. To avoid blurriness none have been resized larger..

im using the DVR Large widget as well... i can not figure out why it doesn't look clearer.. any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Unkjcr:
First of all, i must thank and congratulate you for you good work in this "porting". :)

I would like to know, if possible, what font did you use in the icons. I'm trying to do some extra icons on my one, but since i like the ones you made, i want my icons to match them. :)

Thanks in advance. ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lcwallace:
Love the work. Any chance you could put together a Twitter, Facebook, & Causeworld?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gmoney41685:
Awesome work! I really like the professional look this gives the phone. A few requests if I may: 1x2 Contacts, 1x3 Twitter, 1x3 Market, 1x3 Facebook, 1x3 Pandora. Any, all, or none of those are appreciated. Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Rally187:
could you post your icons that you used for the launcher that looks slick! Also how did you guys set up the time do be with out any other information is that Tajm? and lastly im assuming that you used BW to make that weather widget? how did get it to be without time? basically i want it to look just like yours!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] agentpower:
omg dude those are EPIC!

*drool*

I would KILL for those with green accents instead of red, but i have an EVO so i think my sizes are different :(

VERY nice work man, ive got the normal setup on mine and i need facebook and voice. but i really like your style.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
thanx.. (just gotta figure out why it isn't clear)

Not for sale yet!

Hopefully this sells before my 30 day return window is up for the Seidio Innocase that I just bought. Otterbox FTW!
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
Nice, thanks for posting! I've been waiting for this one.
[Captivate Accessories] iamcombat:
I knew there was a reason I didn't buy a case yet :)
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
What's funny is that they probably got sick of all the emails asking if they were making one for the Captivate so they posted the update just to shut us up!
[Captivate Accessories] malicenfz:
Nice! Can't wait to get this
[Captivate Accessories] zaures:
OMG finally
[Captivate Accessories] Mechpilot:
Thx for the price of a new screen $75 well worth it.
[Captivate Accessories] mwxiao:
I like the one covering AT&T logo. But $50 is a lot of money...
[Captivate Accessories] waghoba:
same here...i got my phone for $65 and have already spent some $40 on cases and screen guard LOL!!!
[Captivate Accessories] Toejamfloyd:
Woot! Been waiting, like everyone else, and now my dreams have been answered. Now, if only they start selling this, say tomorrow...!
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
What do you guys think about the lower priced one? I think it looks pretty sweet. Not to bulky.
[Captivate Accessories] dkwelton:
im stuck with the body glove right now...
[Captivate Accessories] magnumrt562:
im ordering the commuter as soon as its available! it looks gooooooood.
[Captivate Accessories] imeraz:
Do these cases have a built in screen protector?
[Captivate Accessories] themicrofish:
I'm pretty sure if its the same as other otterboxes the commuter comes with a separate screen protector, the defender has it built in to the case
[Captivate Accessories] imeraz:
Cool thx for the response. I really hate trying to get those screen protectors on. They never go on right so I guess I'll have to go with the defender. Thanks again!
[Captivate Accessories] themicrofish:
beware though you may run into a crazy amount of air bubble issues if you use the defender with no screen protector or the wrong one. I tried the defender on my girlfriends iphone4 over an invisible shield and it was horrible. anyone have experience with this? finding the right combination?
[Captivate Accessories] justdrew:
dont use invissheld with otterbox
[Captivate Accessories] imeraz:
Well damn, that's why I hate screen protectors because i almost always get air bubbles. I guess the built in screen protector is not the solution.
[Captivate Accessories] silenzzzz:
just get one that is anti-fingerprint anti-glare and it will work just fine with the otterbox defender
[Captivate Accessories] Enhanced:
Wow, the Commuter looks VERY good. Probably the best case I've ever seen. Anyone know how long it usually takes for a release after they establish the mailing list?

$35 is steep, but Otterbox is top of the line I guess. And it does come with a screen protector which saves ~$5.00. Is their screen protector anything special?
[Captivate Accessories] magnumrt562:
1. There are a few sketchy fixes for the air bubble issue with the otterbox defender case...

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=otterbox+defender+air+bubble&aq=f

2. We have gorilla glass guys and gals! We really DONT need a screen protector!
[Captivate Accessories] RootPhisher:
Will definitely pick up the defender.

Hurry up OB.
[Captivate Accessories] Segnaro:
Air bubbles are because of static.

What always worked for me was squishing a piece of anti-static cloth between the screen and screen protector, then when I removed the cloth the bubbles disappeared.
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
Lint?

Has anyone owned any of the other Otterbox cases? I'm just curious to know if the silicone sleeve attracts a lot of lint or not?

I'm debating either keeping my Body Glove Mirage or getting the Otterbox Commuter when it comes out. I like the feel and look of the Body Glove (except for the stripes on back) but I really like the look of the Otterbox even though it may add slightly more bulk.
[Captivate Accessories] pyrplhaze:
I had one for my 3gs Iphone (defender series). Loved it. I wouldn't say it attracted lint, but because of the very rubbery surface, it had a tendency to stick a little bit when inside jean pockets, and it was a little bulkier than desireable, but for the level of protection, it was totally worth it. You would get some sticking lint, but it was easy to wipe off.

Regardless, it gets my vote for best case made. My line of work is not one that is very conducive to smartphones (oilfield mechanic) and I'm rough on just about everything I bring to work. This case allowed my Iphone to make a drop from on top of a 20 foot tall skid and it kept the phone 100% intact..Phone shut off, but I turned it back on and not a bit of trouble after. IMO, you can't go wrong with an otterbox. Hopefully retailers on places like amazon will be offering them at a discount like they do for the iphone...can get a defender (what I had) for 20 or 30 smackeroos if you do a little looking aroung....
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
Thanks for the info pyrplhaze!
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
I knew the OtterBox was a well made case, but WOOOW.

Was this fall onto concrete?

You can also use a VERY VERY light coat of baby powder to get rid of the static. If you think you're using just enough, cut it in half and you're probably where you should be.

When I did my dad's case, it was the only solution we had on hand.
[Captivate Accessories] pyrplhaze:
no...not concrete, but it was on a rocky surface...imagine gravel, but with slightly bigger rocks, so there was a little bit of "give" on the surface

Not that I would recommend doing this over and over again, but for a one time "WOOPS" fall, it sure impressed the hell outta me. Thought for sure I was out of a phone.
[Captivate Accessories] Zeimus:
Amaizng... I image the commuter would be enough to protect my phone from the crazy height of my office chair to the ground.
[Captivate Accessories] jaxf250:
I had the OB cases on my Blackberry units and liked them a lot. My new Captivate is eagerly awaiting it's OB case as well.... I was told by a local AT&T auth reseller shop today that they placed their order for the Commuter cases from OB this past Tuesday (2 days ago) and they "think" they will be arriving next week.... we shall see....

I am leaning towards the Commuter case as I think I am going to have to get an extended battery for this puppy, and the rubber skin may be able to accommodate it (no guarantees) whereas the rigid Defender case will likely not.
[Captivate Accessories] zaures:
Im pretty sure that the commuter is a hard case too, just lower profile and such. i could be wrong though.
[Captivate Accessories] codyrt:
I have the OtterBox case for the MyTouch 3g, it is made up of two pieces, a rubber skin that covers the whole outer part of the phone and has built-in plugs to cover up charging and headphone plug-ins. And then there is a plastic shell that goes over that, except for the corners.

I'm pretty sure it won't allow for a larger battery with the plastic on. I'm talking about the Commuter Series case.
[Captivate Accessories] jaxf250:
I am not adverse to tweaking the stock case with a dremel tool ;-)
[Captivate Accessories] Islan06:
I would definitely go with the defender as well.

It is definitely a hassle attempting to place screen protectors.

I've had the otter box for my Blackberry and it was pretty solid...definitely protected the device from several drops
[Captivate Accessories] evosky:
anybody heard any updates of when they'll be releasing these ??
[Captivate Accessories] thumper_1151:
I called yesterday and they told me they don't have an eta yet.
[Captivate Accessories] insaneturbo13:
i sent them a tweet asking the same thing, maybe if they have enough people ask the same question they will see a bigger market and get it out faster? :)
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:
Well they need to HURRY IT UP! :mad:
[Captivate Accessories] YoungGun821:
This site says 10/25

http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?skuno=89465
[Captivate Accessories] UGotMe:
So which one are you guys planning to buy? Im thinking Defender because no need for Screen Protector + all ports covered. Also belt holster can be useful. Obviously plastic fits Cappy perfectly...
[Captivate Accessories] droid330:
definitely getting the ob commuter case! looks pretty sweet...
[Captivate Accessories] himmelhauk:
I'd like to get the defender as well, though I heard that the built in screen protector is prone to a lot of bubbling and such :/
[Captivate Accessories] guthriemd:
I had one of these for my old 3G and it had a crappy plastic screen protector that did bubble/oil. However, if you look at the defender case for the iPhone 4G, they say they're using a new material that eliminates that effect.

I'll be buying a defender for my cappy. Worst case scenario you remove the built in one and just use a regular one.
[Captivate Accessories] Dungeon47:
For those who have bubble/watermark/static issue with the Otterbox Defender built-in screen protector (sound official enough?), I've found that the best method is to use a razor blade and cut the built-in one out, then just apply a normal screen protector to your device.

This obviously eliminates the issue in question, but it has the added benefit of a tighter fit between the case and the screen, which makes it more secure in place.
[Captivate Accessories] Mac11700:
I'll defiantly be buying one of the Defender cases from them. I will be getting my Captivate this Thursday evening..I just got off the phone with them because of an issue I had with my Hero's defender silicon outer case. It had developed a small tear in the usb port covering and I called and explained I would gladly send it all back into them for repair/replacement at my cost..Nope..they are shipping me a new silicon covering in tomorrows mail..free of charge...While I was on the phone with Stacy there..I received a e-mail confirmation from her that it was being shipped out tomorrow. This is top notch customer service..and I certainly will buy from them again..

Mac

BTW..no eta on the new cases..so I will make due with a cheap leather holster and the screen protector AT&T gives with the phone till it's available.
[Captivate Accessories] bluetoothless:
When I used defender with my pre-Tilt 2 iPhone 3G i would use Apple's anti-glare shield underneath built in protecor. It looked like crap alone, but perfect in defender w/o any bubbles or oil appearance.
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
That eliminates part of the benefit of a defender. With the defender, while I doubt you could submerge the phone, it can survive a good splashing. Now that you remove the screen protector, fluids can now enter the case.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] Diamond_dawg:
Also dirt can get in more easily, creating scratches
[Captivate Accessories] kyphur:
Otterbox has changed the material they use for the screen protectors.

My wife has the defender for her iPhone4 and I can confirm that the screen protector is better that the defender case for our older iPhone 3G & 3G.

When I get my OB Defender case I will probably remove the RealLook screen protector.
[Captivate Accessories] Dungeon47:
Glad to hear that. Always better if it works as designed.

Sent from my Android.
[Captivate Accessories] flucks:
Really don't need a screen protector with this phone's glass. Kinda superfluous to me. Looks like a nice case though.
[Captivate Accessories] kyphur:
Actually the point of having it on the Ottorbox Defender is just as much about protecting from liquid/dirt/etc intrusion as it is scratches...
[Captivate Accessories] Dungeon47:
There is also the debatability of Gorilla Glass' actual performance to consider. Ask some iPhone4 users how the back of their device is holding up.
[Captivate Accessories] NOFSBIGE:
I can second that... it all matters on how you drop it and what you drop it on...
[Captivate Accessories] jiannichan:
Yup. I came from an iPhone 4. About a day after getting it, I put on a gel case and I think there was a speck of dirt on the inside of the case. I noticed a light scratch on the back of the phone after taking off the case to put it in the bumper that I had been waiting for. Just gotta have something with a sharp enough edge and it will scratch.
[Captivate Accessories] BL4zD:
The difference is that foreign objects don't lodge themselves against the front of the phone and abrade against the glass for months like a piece of dirt trapped under a case.

My rear glass on my iPhone4 is perfectly fine, btw. I dropped it from chest level, too. It landed on the street corner on the bottom right corner. I thought it was done for and I don't want to see what happens if it falls from any height a second time.

In any case, a screen protector isn't going to protect any device from a fall or trauma. I think I'll just get the commuter and my own screen protector.
[Captivate Accessories] NOFSBIGE:
I second that... maybe the zagg... I had the zagg before but damn samsung shipped me a new phone rather than fixing mine.... there goes my $20
[Captivate Accessories] WD333:
3rd case listed

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the Otterbox site is now listing a 3rd case. In addition to the Defender and Commuter cases, there is now an Impact Series case. Unlike the 2 layers of the other two, it looks like the Impact case is only a one-layered silicone case. And it's in stock already and only $19.99.
[Captivate Accessories] YoungGun821:
now im not sure which one i want.. :confused:
[Captivate Accessories] kangi26:
Looks like they might be getting closer. The Defender Series pictures now show the ratcheting belt clip holster.

The new Impact Series

IS

available
[Captivate Accessories] dzaster89:
Just ordered the impact case i will update when i get it. Looks like a pretty good basic case though. I actually got it for 17.95 including shipping just used this code: tb1010y, if anyone is interested. :)
[Captivate Accessories] Paladuck:
Just ordered the impact
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
Just ordered the Impact case. I was hoping to get the commuter, but I need a case. Don't forget to use coupon code tb1010y for 10 percent off and free shipping. Total for me came to 17.95 shipped
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
I should have read this before posting mine. Coupon codes worked for me;-)
[Captivate Accessories] YoungGun821:
is that ratcheting belt clip removable?
[Captivate Accessories] BigJayDogg3:
Yup.

Edit: but its attached to the part that covers the screen. So when you lose the ratcheting belt clip, you also lose the face protection.

But 90% of people wont really news that.

Ordered my IMPACT case for the Cappy a couple days ago!! Should be in tomorrow or the next day!!
[Captivate Accessories] ULTIMA93:
Ordered one on Friday and still waiting (Fed-ex 2 day)

Just checked the status of my order and the details are gone. Did my order get recjected/deleted? They didn't email me anything :(
[Captivate Accessories] Paladuck:
I ordered on Friday and haven't received any shipping confirmation.
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
Had the same thing happen to mine. I am wondering if it was listed as available by mistake. I will call tomorrow and see where my order stands.
[Captivate Accessories] cappyron:
Same here, just checked my order status and nothing...
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
I just spoke with customer service and they told me they moved to a new order system that has been causing problems. The rep helped me place a new order at no charge and said to keep both if the second one ships.

I would give them a call if you don't see your order as mine was not found. GREAT customer service experience btw
[Captivate Accessories] SWINGR:
X2. Didn't hear anything back for almost a week. I called them today since I didn't figure they would be open on Saturday. "Amber" said the same thing. Order may or may not have been lost. They are sending another one. If I get two, just keep em.
[Captivate Accessories] Paladuck:
ditto :)
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
I just got home from work and to my surprise, they case had arrived! I can tell by the packing slip that the order i received was the second one (after the first one dropped out of my order history). Overall I am happy with the fit and feel. It slides in my pocket and doesnt stick like some cases. It may be a little bulky for some, but I think it will be fine for me. All of the buttons and ports are accessible. Pics to follow shortly...

As promised.... pictures attached
[Captivate Accessories] Dungeon47:
I've had very good success with Otterbox support. They have treated me well enough that I feel somewhat loyal to them, which is something I don't normally do with brands.
[Captivate Accessories] swayze1:
Just like the site says.... It takes time to make a good case. From my experience so far, they are correct and they treat their customers well. I will definately be a repeat customer
[Captivate Accessories] TheMasterOfNone:
Thanks for the report swayze1! This is great I was wondering what the case would look like and it's top notch. Other people were complaining that you can get a similar case from HK/Chinese websites but I doubt the fit and materials would be as good.

I was wondering about two things:

1. Are the corners reinforced? I've read in some models they put extra padding, kind a raised checkerboard pattern to give some extra protection.

2. Would you be able to measure the increase in width between the protected and unprotected Cap? It doesn't look to be that much thicker but it would nice to know as it might get a bit too tight in some of my jeans.

Thanks again for the pictures!
