This is my story... =)

Less then a month ago I ordered 2 Seidio Rugged cases reviewed here in this forum. One of the cases had weak headphones and charger covers, they have fallen off after couple of days of light use. The other case is doing great so far. So I had my case returned and replaced by Amazon. They overnighted me my replacement case for free.

This case is totally different from the one that was replaced. Outer "rugged" case became less flexible with more sturdier feel. Corners of the outer shell missing "lips" used to help hold the exoskeleton plastic piece in place. Screen borders of the of the outer shell became more "bumpy" adding 1-2 mm of additional protection, lets say, if you drop your phone screen-down to the floor. Charger and headphone covers have small "drill" holes, in place where they connect with the case. Case has HEV and HEV4 written under Seidio name.

Update: Just got off the phone with Seidio. This is a next "generation" batch of cases with hardened materials and improved exoskeleton fitting. =) The guy on the phone from Seidio office had to contact parts' manufacturer to confirm this =)
[EVO 4G Accessories] shortbus182:
Interesting..I just sent mine in for replacement due to one of the corners breaking. Curious to see if I get the same thing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dogcmp6:
I too am curious as to what the meaning of this is
[EVO 4G Accessories] Amanchik:
Update =)

I just contacted Seidio, they are reviewing the pictures, but they told me company did not update case design. I'll post as soon as I have more news =)
[EVO 4G Accessories] siwelk:
If they have a next gen rugged, I'm in.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wesley762:
I am in the market for one of these, I have found them on Amazon for about $40.00 vs. Seidio's site for $70.00. What do you think the chances are Amazon has the updated verison?
[EVO 4G Accessories] skydeaner:
or a knockoff since anyone can sell on amazon.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wesley762:
it's looking pretty legit to me........

[EVO 4G Accessories] shortbus182:
I finally got my rma for my active case. The silicone is indeed re-engineered. The piece around the hdmi and usb ports is thicker, and the power button is no longer a pain in the ass to push.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wesley762:
I got my case from Amazon this week and is the real deal. 39.99 hard to beat.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
I think the Pt case at bestbuy is the newer designed one and they are 50 bucks. I took my otterbox case back to sprint for this one, the hdmi and charging tab on this one is a little harder to get to than the otterbox but the power and volume buttons work perfectly. It is definately an awsome case, yhis case has 3 pieces as a opposed to the otterbox 2 and it has a holster all for 15 dollars more than the otterbox.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Amanchik:
Sry for late response, I've been busy lately. Yes, I think they do have new gen, because I received replacement unit from Amazon, to replace older one with ripped flaps...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
my flap broke off at the bottom but i ended cutting off some more off the silicone so i can plug the phone to charge like with the active.... i dont think they would take it back since i did cut some off after it broke.

i do like how the hard plastic wraps around the edge unlike the older modle.
[EVO 4G Accessories] limericky:
I want my rugged extended series for my mytouch 4g.. dem goofs at seidio don't seem to get it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
send a message to the seller and ask. I saw the old generation on Amazon last week for 7.95 + shipping.

Can some one confirm if the GPS files are stored on the PDA tar or the Modem tar file used to flash with Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
Pretty sure they are in pda because previously I had jm5 and jm7 with same jm3 modem and jm1 csc ...gps behsvior

Changed drastically when I went to jm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
good that's exactly what i'm trying to figure out, and be able to play around with different set of GPS files as people claim the JPH is good

but i wanted to keep the same modem files from JH2

just want to see if JPH will have much improvement over JH2 in the GPS or if it still the same
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
be carefull with jph some people have had imei buggered.. also not sure you can mix a csc from 2.1 and pda from 2.1.. i know you can put 2.2 modem on others have done it.. also know this didnt work on nexus one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inios:
FME, looks like the GPS is on the PDA of the ODIN package.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
good point, i almost forgot about the IMEI bug many have reported.

guess i'll better hold back for now :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
ya I was looking to try JPH out as well but I didn't want to lose my modem files and the IMEI bug is holding me back as well.

I made an attempt to create my own bootanimation, I don't do graphical work period so it came out as I expected except that at the end of the animation I have an unwanted frame repeat itself which clearly looks out of place and I don't know how to fix it as simple as it seems...could someone tell me how to fix it? this way when I create some more for myself I will know what to do to not have it happen again. Thank you.

I've included a video using Bootanimation previewer to show what I mean. And I've attached the bootanimation.zip for you to look over. Thanks again.

I had this prob. When I set my f.p.s to high for the animation. Try lowering it and see what happens.didn't see the. Zip attached. So I couldn't look @the desc. File.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaptyc:
It was a naming issue.

I took the liberty of renaming all the files to a triple digit number (000, 001, etc) using a BULK RENAMING UTILITY found here: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Download.php

That fixed the problem.

I also decided to make a bootscreen version (with sound)

Just my $0.02

That's great thank you :) I'll be sure to remember this for the next time.

When u get those are there things that don't work like WiFi or 4g or something
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
With CM6 4G isnt working but wifi works fine. With most the roms now everything works. If something doesnt work its it will be in the OP of that rom thread.

Also I read over at the CM forum what they are doing with the Epic is a some sorta lag switch turn off. Its has nothing to do with over clocking the phone yet. I have seen those numbers before with the Epic.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus14:
First off, as noted in my title, I am a T-mobile USA subscriber with a grandfathered plan. I have t-zones, a very very very cheap data plan that only works on certain phones (eg, Nexus One, Nokia n900, all windows mobile 6.x phones etc)

I can snag an HD2 from Craigslist for under 200. But my question is, is it worth it to get an HD2 now that it's nearing a year old? The main reason I am getting it is its compatibility with t-zones.

In the future, it is very likely that all smartphones, whether they be Android or Winmo7, will require the more expensive data plan (30 dollars usually). With HD2 Android development and possibly a Winmo7 port, I feel like the HD2 will be able to hold its weight against future phones. What are your thoughts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richteralan:
if you can keep your cheap data plan I'll say why not.

you can get Tmobile 3G speed with TMOHD2...

I wouldn't hold my breath for WP7 port.

WM6.5.5 and Android is probably the only possible port.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
It may be a year old. But if you look at the leaked lineup for WP7 and the roadmaps for carriers, the best of them are still sporting 1ghz cpu's 5-8mp cameras, 256-512RAM. Since this phone will fit with your plan all I would say is: If you are comfortable with WM and like to spend a lot of time tweaking and modding, then you are going to love this phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] randomlinuxguy:
hey i just bought a vibrant android phone this morning off a friend.

I am a tmobile prepaid user so i have no edge or 3g service.

Is there a way to completely disable edge (you can disable 3g in settings) so that it never tries to connect to it.

I tried disabling wifi earlier and every time gmail wanted to sync it launched a tmobile page asking me to sign up for a data plan and killed the battery life.

ironic that i save more battery by leaving wifi turned on rather than turn it off and have it idiotically try to connect to edge when it wont work.

any way i can completely shut down the data connection such that if it cant connect over wifi (either because it is disabled or because there is no known network in range) it just gives up and doesnt eat the battery.

If i can accomplish this i think ill end up with awesome battery life since i can deactivate wifi when im in the car and sleeping but not lose battery because of a constant edge/3g connection.

i cant be the only prepaid vibrant owner right?

EDIT: Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. im really new to android. thanks.

[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
As reported by androidandme.com, It seems as though an agreement has been made for Verizon and Motorola to have the first phone to ship* with Gingerbread (2.5).

http://androidandme.com/2010/09/news/motorola-and-verizon-score-gingerbread-exclusive/

As stated above, the wording seems to be first shipped* with GB, not necessarily first device to receive the update. With Verizon having the largest ad campaign for Android phones, coupled with the farthest deviation from the stock OS, it does a lot to harm (dis-unify) the Brand Identity of Android.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Read it, and not only is everything in that article speculation; It doesn't say a damn thing about Verizon/Motorola getting a Gingerbread deal (with any real proof). In fact, nothing in that article has any proof.

I hate this read.
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
So far the nexus has gotten everything first. Lets hope we get a taste of gingerbread as well.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
The N1 will be among the first to get it, does it really matter that much which phone ships with it first?
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
There is so much misinformation that article, out reads like the onion.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Pfft, whats the big deal.. someone will be first, why not motorola.

Besides, since we're here at xda, u'll get the gingerbread before those phones hit the market anyway.

And I'm sure that google won't let exclusivity for android phones. Not that it's even possible with an open-source system.
[Nexus One General] justclimb:
IF any other crappy phone takes Gingerbread BEFORE my Nexus...

I´ll put it on Ebay and pick an Iphone4:

At least I´ll have the security that my phone will be up to date on time and that at least it will deliver what promises: antenna malfunction included.

:cool:
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Sounds like more mis-information :confused: The Nexus 1 will hopefully get it 1st :)
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
the nexus is googles official dev phone. which means gingerbread is most likely being developed using a nexus so i doubt any other phones will recieve it first unless google has another dev phone by then
[Nexus One General] justclimb:
There´s only one positive answer to the thread´s question:

-Motorola Strike= Nexus Two

:confused:
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
if google holds onto the source until a phone ships with gingerbread then not only would that phone have it before the n1 (1) but that would also give android exclusivitiy (2) which in the long run may actually really help both android and google (and of course motorola and verizon :)).

Now obviously roms leak all the time and some hacked up version would land on the n1 but to me it seems that doesn't count. AOSP and OTA are what count for an update being "official"...no?

and really...who cares?
[Nexus One General] AstroDigital:
Why I think the Nexus One will see Gingerbread first?

Because Motorola loads up their devices with Bloatware. Motorola can not even release the Milestone with 2.2 until Q1 2011 to get it to work with the MotoBLur software.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Dude I don't understand why some of yall actually think the N1 won't see gingerbread first. I'm almost sure Google has stated somewhere that it is. Also the N1 is the google developer phone. Even if it's not there to buy anymore, it's still google's developer phone..... they have said that.

We got 2.2 first, months before some. Why wouldn't we get 2.5/.3.0 (whatever they decide to call it) first? We will...
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Being old I long since lost the need to dickslap. Who cares who gets it first, more power to them. There is no doubt we will get it in short order regardless of whether we are actually the first. That is in contrast to many which will never recieve it without downloading it via a custom rom which the vast majority are not even aware they can do. I am glad I am where I am with phones, there is still not another piece of hardware out there I percieve as being worth a spend. I suspect as it continues to age another developer phone will be annointed and I'll be there. Its good to keep in mind that google said they were getting out of the business model, not out of developing a phone period or having a part in the development of a new handset.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
ok, so here is how android works. Google makes/upgrades Android, this is a very basic version (stock OS). This version is only able to work with the dev phones. It is then up to the responsobility of the maufacturere (moto, htc, etc) to get it to work with their phone. So the instant that gingerbread is completed it only works for the Nexus One, it then takes weeks/months for other manufactures to get it working on their specific phones. So too fool yourself into thinking that the nexus one wont get the Os update first is just false. The dev phones will ALWAYS get the updates first, assmuming the hardware can handle it.

P.S. I concider the moto droid a dev phone even though it officially was not one.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Techincally when N1 got 2.2 the "developer phone" was the mytouch, so the current dev phone doesn't always get the update first.

=D
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
Actually the dev phone was the HTC magic, mytouch was a carrier version. Technically your right, but I'm guessing as soon as Google's baby, the nexus, was released it took over dev status even if not officially announced

[Nexus One General] slowz3r:
didnt the deal say something about the first phone to keyword SHIP with gingerbread, I have confidence that the N1 will be the first phone to get Gingerbread
[General Questions and Answers] Jamar16:
I have a problem when i try to view/open files on my network, say for example I open a photo, i get the following error "file type jpg not found". If i open any other files i get the same error "file type *file extension/type* not found".

Any idea how to fix that or what could be causing it?

I am able to view files on the phone and sd card themselves.

PS: If i try copying files from the network to the sd card or phone and then try to open/view the file i get the same error.

[EVO 4G General] werxen:
So this has been coming up a lot and I want to make something VERY clear to a few members on here who wish to back up Sprint/Evo whenever possible without looking at the facts.

Most of the members on here flame other people who complain about the extra $10 a month charge. I have been here, I have seen it and from day one I have been against the extra fee. Members have been so harsh and irrational as to say "Idiot you signed up without reading the contract?" or "Obviously said an extra $10 you don't HAVE to get this phone" etc etc etc.

Fine. You win. We didn't have to get this phone nor Sprint etc.

But let me make something VERY f*****g clear.

Sprint outlined that we pay an extra $10 for a "richer data experience" and "truly unlimited bandwidth". Now, the same logic applies to Sprint. So when I see users such as fachadick going off on how WE are stupid for downloading whatever we want yet he criticizes people for not wanting to pay the extra $10 a month it makes me question his line of thought. Clearly we pay an EXTRA amount for nothing other than Sprint to capitalize on their 'new iPhone killer'.

Lets face the facts:

Sprint clearly outlined our Evos to have unlimited bandwidth usage and that is the bottom line on the deal. A lot of members need to get off Sprints nuts and realize they are a mega corporation just like anyone else. If they had the iPhone they would be hijacking their prices and capping their bandwidth just to make extra cash too. This is how companies work.

If you need more evidence look into computer hardware. Currently, AMD is considered the best price/performance valued CPU on the market. There are a TON of AMD fanbois going around saying "we support AMD because they are an amazing corporation that does not cheat their customers like Intel does"

Bull****. When AMD was on top they were selling their native quad cores @ 1,000 when Intel was selling theirs for ~ 400. These server markets were untapped and AMD had the performance advantage. Now the tides have turned and people support AMD for the other reason.

The point I'm trying to make is there is a lot of FANBOISM going on in these forums. I have accepted it with phones but when people start to do it with carriers it just pisses me off. Carriers don't care just like any other corporation. Members here have to understand there is no difference between Sprint/ATT/Verizon/Criket/Metro etc besides their prices and the phones they offer. In the end, ALL of us are being f****d by their ridiculous prices and horrible customer support. Other industrialized countries have far better speeds and much cheaper prices than we do.

All in all, if Sprint cant back up their 'truly unlimited extra $10 a month b***hit' then let them fail - that is how capitalism works. The consumers get shafted with ****ty prices but we also get the best that the producers are willing to offer at the time.

Viva la download.

[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:
Oh Noooo! I never realized I was paying an extra $10/mo.

My goodness, that's almost 34 cents a day!!

I'm gonna have to give up 2 trips to Starbucks every month.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
No, the service is much different. CDMA is much stronger here than GSM. I have, many times, seen ATT/T-Mobile phones drop coverage completely while I wouldn't even loose data on my EVO. Metro isn't in my area, but Cricket is sh!t and not just in my area, everywhere. Dropped calls everywhere, hidden charges, ect. Also, I have had FANTASTIC customer service with Sprint and terrible customer service with ATT. I have not used Verizon or T-Mobile in a long time so I cannot comment on their customer service.

Honestly, yes we are paying MORE than the service costs, otherwise why would they provide that service? It costs about $6/month to provide service to a customer for the major carriers, possibly less. The point of ANY business is to convince the consumer that what they are buying is worth more that it actually is, which they have successfully done. It is worse in the wireless industry because there is much less government regulation, which is slowly changing. Other countries DO NOT have far better speeds on wireless networks, the US has the most robust 4G network in the world, though it is still weak. Wired connections are a different story, but we are not talking about that.

As bad as it may sound, our economy is based on deception of the consumer to maximize profits, that is just how capitalism works. Also, I really don't mind paying the $10 surcharge, 5 EVOs on Sprint (or EPICs) would cost $240/month while Verizon would cost $300/month and ATT would cost you $245/month (note that is for 2GB per phone and not unlimited) and T-Mobile costs you $250/month. And those prices are for the lowest minutes possible, while on Sprint we get any mobile. Now, I'm not going to say Sprint is the end all for all carriers, it is possible for any of the carriers to change their policies and prices. I have changed carriers 3 times, Verizon to T-Mobile, to ATT, to Sprint and have never been more satisfied with my service. That is partly due to the increased footprint of all networks, not just Sprint, but not only reception, full service.
