I'm keeping my Amazon order, only because I have my craptastic Seidio Rugged for now.

Here's a post from their Facebook page, remember the codes are CASE SENSITIVE and I'm not sure these are the right "cases"! But I posted this because it may help someone.

Jay E Hey guys, I just got my Evo defender for 40$ with free shipping! Use these 2 codes tb1010y (10% off/free shipping) & MEMUEVO5 (5$ off) (coupon is case sensitive) . They both stack. Enjoy 15$ off!
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
If you order through Otterbox, you may have to call in, their servers have been crashing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] CheesyNutz:
is this one with a belt clip ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] napsterdj:
Agree, i tried ordering online and got billed multiple times. Called the customer care and the lady said that they would only charge the credit card once the item is shipped.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Yes, the Defender is supposed to be shipped with the clip and the holster.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
What in the hell is wrong with the good people at Otterbox??

This phone has been on the market for almost six months and shipping the Defender series cases is still 1 to 2 months out?!?

IMO Otterbox has really dropped the ball on this. I had defender series cases for my Blackberrys. I don't care how great a case it might be or what discount codes are available Otterbox won't be adorning anymore of my devices.

Way to drop the ball Otterbox.. maybe they'll ship these by the time the next generation of devices hit the market.

Just ordered from eBay for $33.......No complaints here
[EVO 4G Accessories] slimno19:
I mean Amazon
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
That is not entirely true. you get 10% off which EQUALS free shipping. NOT 10% PLUS free shipping. the total savings is $10. still a great deal though
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Neb

Come on now, you know the otterbox is already making cases for the next Apple product. Either that or for the new flagship Samsung phone :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Accessories] CheesyNutz:
tyvm ill have to put this on my santa list for my wife :P
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Thanks for clearing that up, I will add it to the OP.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tzbf2006:
FYI, I tried both codes but only the 'tb1010y' code would work. Didn't matter in which order I tried it the system would tell me there was a problem with the 'MEMUEVO5' promo code. So I called the call center and they were able to honor the $5 off + the 10% off w/ Free Shipping!. So my total bill was $39.80 for the EVO 4G Defender!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
nicely done. good thinking calling customer service. i probably would have stopped at the website not working! ^_^
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I cancelled my Amazon order. Something seemed fishy about it to me. I'd rather order it for $40 from Otterbox than have to wait till after christmas to get it. I was going to order it but I just saw that beautiful Ballistic case and now I'm not so sure about the defender anymore.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrpickem:
I ordered mine a couple weeks ago from amazon and this is what is says:

Shipment 1 of 1: The following item will arrive after December 25, 2010.

Not yet shipped

Delivery Estimate: December 14, 2010 - January 5, 2011

:confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
Sure would suck if one of you guys drop and mess your phone all up cause you want to save 10$ :D:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] nkawal:
samething here....just cancelled the order.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrpickem:
Ima wait it out...I gotta a Casemate Barely There now that is ok, but not that protective. The defender may be too big for me once I see it anyways. Amazon usually gives worse case shipping info...alot of times you receive items much sooner. I just cant see $40 for a case. $27 was hard enough.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nkawal:
Yeah, i know, but the my otterbox commuter is doing hte job just fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] napsterdj:
I called Otterbox and cancelled my order on the Impact series. I read reviews on it saying it does not appear to be what it looks like on the website especially for the Impact series. I called them and cancelled the order today even though I placed my order 2 weeks ago they still haven't processed it yet.

Will be ordering the commuter series from amazon for a steal ! the prices are pretty good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
me too, my commuter case is working just fine for the time being. i'd like to know if the Defender to can be modded to accommodate an extended battery like people are doing with the seidio rugged. the second i hear thats not a posibility i'll cancel my order. but for now, $27 with free overnight shipping seems like a great deal (I emailed amazon about the long shipping time and they upgraded me to free overnight shipping).
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
What the...?? Sure wish i had thought of that before i jumped ship and ordered straight from otterbox. now i can't get them to send me any shipping info or get them to respond to my attempts at contact. :o

The following quote is from the Facebook Otterbox page made earlier this morning.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BKsFinest:
Back in stock at $29.94 right now. Use a plugin and site called camelcamelcamel to view price history.

http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Shield-HTC-Black/dp/B0043GWDZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

I need a case should I go with this or the Seidio?

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocase-Rugged-Holster-Combo/dp/B003SNIRCO/ref=pd_cp_cps_3

I already have an Amzer which was like $5 but I want something more protective.

Can I hear feedback from ppl that own these cases? Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
I'm incredibly disappointed with my Defender. it's nowhere near the quality of the iphone 3gs builds. Have you seen the Ballistic cases? http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-ballistic-hc-series-case

i think thats what i'm going to try next
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Yeah, thanks for posting that link. As I've said, I'm over the Otterbox Defender. I have the Trident Cyclops, dropped it from the fire truck and it had zero damage to phone or case.

The Ballistic seems like a beast, if I didn't have the Cyclops, I'd get it in a heartbeat. The Ballistic seems to clearly be the toughest case for EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverStone641:
My biggest deal is dust. my defender is by no means sealed. i'm constantly having to take it apart and clean it. this bothers me for two reasons, 1) i'm mildly OCD and 2) all those dust particles rubbing against the phone are gonna do damage at some point.

soon as one of our fellow XDAers post a proper review, i'll most likely be purchasing one!
[EVO 4G Accessories] JustRuin:
I just bought an Impact series, and I have no complaints. Mind you, I wouldn't purposely drop it to test, but for me, it's not a big deal. It was a mere 11 dollars on amazon, so pretty good bang for my buck methinks! I moved up from a barely there (all I cared about at the time was protecting the back and the camera). I dropped my keys on my phone twice -- not a big deal I thought, since I have an invisible Shield -- not true, lol. The keys scratched both the side of the evo that is exposed as well a the case. Anyways I digress...this case provides full protection, and I really can't find anything bad about it. I take care not to put myself in situations where I could drop my phone, so shock resistance has never really been an issue. This is just me though. If you have more requirements, then perhaps it would be wise to get something better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Great review, it sounds like the perfect case for you! I am using the Trident Cyclops right now, probably a similar level of protection and am also very happy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] The_Real_D/\SH:
here is a video that i did on the powermaty receiver door for the htc evo 4g.. let me know if you have any questions

[YOUTUBE]u6i88Oyckws[/YOUTUBE]
[EVO 4G Accessories] looneylu:
I bought this... it works... however... i am not so lazy that I have to pay $60 to not connect my phone.... i ended up returning and buying sprint's extended battery. Having said that, it was really cool. Is it justifiable though? To each his own. Not bashing the product, just not for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
I have the single mat that came with the door purchase

Is anyone else experiencing troubles or difficulties charging with the powermat?

It seems as if I'll put the phone on the mat sometimes, and if I don't sit and play with it until the position is JUST RIGHT, it will all light up indicating a good charge, then the two white lights will turn off, and the "unplugged" sound will happen, charging light will turn off, but the phone is still on the mat.

Or I'll wake up after its been sitting all night on the charger, no lights indicating its charging, and it will be at/ around 78% and it was placed on the charger correctly.

Is the powermat really this finicky?

Or would getting a multiple mat maybe enhance my experience?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mac N Ts Daddy:
Been using the PowerMat for a week now and have only one complaint. The Little Piece that must be inserted into the USB port has broken off. It is very small and I am sure that it will be lost in a matter of time. I plan on contacting the manufacturer and see if they will provide a replacement since it only lasted a week.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
Returned mine... Got sick of how it had to be placed PERFECTLY, and if I got a text message or anything at night it would vibrate and slip from that spot and for some reason discharge rapidly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fusionr300zx:
i'll just let u guys know.. this thing is terrible. the connector for the case to phone is the worst, cheapest, poorly designed attachment i've ever seen. broke the first day of use. returned it.

garbage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] -viperboy-:
When we first got them in at Best Buy I put one on my phone and I was like "wow this is stupid, you have to plug it into the micro usb port" I figured it couldn't be that hard to slip something in between the battery and the phone but that's just me.

We sell a lot of Powermats this time of year... than they all get returned after Christmas lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
I plan on doing the touchstone mod, then I don't have to have a crappy plug on the bottom and I won't have to redo my 3m dinoc mod
[EVO 4G Accessories] JTNiggle:
Same here, I was holding off doing the touchstone mod to see what this was gonna be like when it came out.

BUT, this little plug makes it an epic FAIL!

When I saw the prototype battery cover with the dongle, I just figured it was for testing only, and they would have that sorted out for production. I can see that if you weren't a hard core user, and just wanted to save a little hassle of plugging in ur charger, okay. But if ur like me, I plug my phone into my PC several times throughout the day for either ADB, music/movie transfer, etc. Having to deal with that little dongle would be extra annoying, thus not saving me any of the hassle that this setup was intended to help with.

What I really want to do with the Palm touchstone setup is to integrate it into my OB Commuter case and my car mount. This is where the wireless charging would have the greatest benefit, I believe. Imagine jumping in ur rig and putting ur Evo on it's mount, bam, it's charging. No clumsy cords strewn about the dash, this would be so much nicer.

At home, I really don't see the need or benefit of this charger. Ur phone has to be set in one place to be charging. So, I pick it up to take a call, and it's not charging any more. Or, I want to play a game on the couch, but my battery is low, and my charging pad isn't on the couch. I would still need a corded charger to plug into while I play with my phone. I do appreciate the progress in wireless charging though, it will be nice when it works over larger distances, like a couple feet. That I will gladly pay for!
[EVO 4G Accessories] thedguy:
Thats my goal with this. I tried the touchstone mod with my hero and it was a PITA to get it just right to charge. The touchstone also requires a 1000ma charger, and the couple of car-usb adapters I picked up wouldn't charge the phone.

I had some trouble with the little dongle (it is dirt cheap). I had to take a small flat head screw driver to the pins in the new cover and push them in toward the back. Did that and the connection has been great since.
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
Freakin brilliant dude, seriously
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hawaii Tom:
I absolutely love my EVO Powermat, but I keep having problems with the back cover losing function. It works fine at the start, but if I take the cover off to pop the battery out, when a reflash/reboot hangs, it stops functioning. Powermat said to take it back to Best Buy, which I did, but now my second new one has stopped working as well. It does the cute "chirp" when it lines up on the mat, but the LED doesn't light. Charging on cable, both USB and AC are still fine. Anybody else heard of this issue?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Biofall:
This isn't any sort of technological progress. It wastes a huge amount of energy, and doesn't charge the phone as quickly as a wall charger. Double negative if you ask me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] John Kotches:
I think it's a great idea, but it fails miserably.

I sync with my (very locked down) work pc and after two battery d door failures in 3 weeks I returned it. The only way I can sync is through usb and the usb dongle doesn't hold up.

It has a premium price but in the end my experience wasn't positive.

Swyped on my PC36100 using tapatalk!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hawaii Tom:
Their Customer Service people have been very nice, and apparently it is now well-documented that the little dongle sucks. Powermat is redesigning it and I am holding mine for return until the new piece is available. No sense going back to Best Buy again to get another one from the same lot.They will offer me a no-charge UPS RMA pickup when the time comes. Hey, I like it when it works... what can I say.
[EVO 4G Accessories] John Kotches:
Tom:

Theres no way the design as it currently stands should have passed testing.

Swyped on my PC36100 using tapatalk!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Hawaii Tom:
@John: True... it's like they were so relieved that the lid fit right and the concept actually worked when you first installed it, that they never tested remove/reinstall cycles. There is a wrong way and a right way to test. When I worked as a project manager at a software company, the programmers used to get pissed when I broke a program. They were so personally invested in the product that they didn't understand that the goal of any good beta tester should be to break the product, not confirm that it works.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chilwill2000:
The only problem with my powermat is that when it is fully charged it cuts off and when I wake up the battery is at 80% or less. This is very frustrating, has anyone got a fix for this? I believe it is a setting in the phone that is causing this issue. When I first got the powermat it worked correctly and then I updated my phone and now it is not working! Any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smoke_weed:
Well hi guys probably the first time me posting in the forums of XDA Developers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaitoEXE:
Hi everyone,

I searched around through this forum but couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me.

I just flashed my HTC HD2 (not T-mobile) to radio rom 2.12 and then the latest energize rom. However, after looking through the file explorer, it won't let me access the root of the SD card or rather, the SD card doesn't even show up at all.

When I view "memory", it says that storage card is not installed.

I've tried soft resetting, hard resetting, removing and re-inserting the card but to no avail. Also, I can still access the SD card in my phone when plugged in by usb on my computer. So I know the SD card is working, it's just not being recognized by my phone.

Can anyone shed some light if I need to "reinstall" the card after flashing? I've reformatted it multiple times to FAT32.

EDIT: Problem solved. Could a moderator delete this or remove the topic please?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynthewun:
Hi everyone,

I've got a strange problem and was wondering if any other forum members have seen it or have been able to come up with a fix. This is my problem:

1)Recently upgraded to Froyo

2)When replying long email threads with multiple recipients on Gmail, the program will automatically at "re" to the beginning of the subject. After replying multiple times, the email subject would like something like "rerererererererere"

3)This is a problem because it stuffs up everyone else on the recipient list who are not using Gmail as programs like outlook are unable to sort the emails properly.

4)This problem existed on Eclair and I thought Froyo would solve my problems but it doesn't.

I have searched these forums for over 1 month to find a solution and yet no one has reported this problem. I find that hard to believe as I'm fairly certain this wouldn't be limited to just my galaxy s.

Please contribute anyway you can and all help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
It would be great if there was a fix for this as its really annoying having to manually delete all those RE. Problem is, they are a standard feature in almost all email apps when using the Reply feature..

[HD2 General] technoob:
Hey guys, new to the forum and stuff so take it easy on me. Just wondering, I'm running android from my SD card in a hd2, will that make my battery run down faster?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
In short-yes it will.

In long-power management under Android is not as advanced as WinMo, so your battery will last 7-8 hours on a charge with moderate use...even less with data or Wi-Fi or the like.
[HD2 General] technoob:
So it is the android os and not the fact that I'm running an open file from the SD?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Running it from the SD card makes no difference as far as power is concerned, as it's just flash memory, and really no different from the internal NAND of the HD2. Android devices historically have pretty bad battery life, because the underlying Linux kernel isn't really all that optomized for mobile devices..though that is all set to change with a future update in the Froyo code.
[HD2 General] technoob:
In my battery usage it says that the display is using most of the battery, I've adjusted settings and still no better. Is there a way to fix that or will that be part of the froyo update as well?
[HD2 General] JDM Civic EG8:
kind of wondering the same thing..
[HD2 General] technoob:
No reply from the mod so I guess I will do more research and wait till the froyo update. I may look at some other builds as well to see if there is anything better than what I'm running.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Sorry, been busy. The Froyo update I am speeking of, is some kinda of future code change directly from Google...and God knows when it will be sent downstream. Power management saying that your display is using the most power is usually correct, because well, the display is huge and uses quite a but of power. There really is nothing that you can do to make it use any less power. Android on the HD2 consumes alot of power, as do regular Android devices...and there really isn't much you can do about it.
[HD2 General] technoob:
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't mad at ya or anything. Is there a link or something to keep with the froyo updates? All I know is the site where I got this build. I am using the darkstone froyohd2v3 and really happy with it, except the battery usage of course. I'm sure there are other builds, are there any u think are better than froyo?
[HD2 General] maqsur:
I'm using mdeejay revolution 1.5 and I can go about 1 - 1.5 days on a charge.
[HD2 General] technoob:
Wow! A day and a half on the battery. That's really good. Is that with little to no usage or are u able to use it a bit and still have decent life? Where can I go to check that out?
[HD2 General] ruffrider5956:
I am on elegancia rom and i want to go back to stock because I am giving the phone back to tmobile so I was wondering how I would do that.
[HD2 General] bburke88:
Go to t-mobile.com and look under the hd2 support section; there is a download section where you enter your IME number and it will allow you to install the latest T-Mobile stock Rom.

Sent from my HTC HD2 Android Desire using the XDA app.
[HD2 General] ruffrider5956:
that will revert my hspl back to the regular spl

I'm asking this question on behalf of my friend. He downloaded the Korean IME to his Captivate, and has no problem typing or sending texts in Korean. The problem that he's having is he can't receive any Korean texts. All he gets are ****** instead of the written characters.

When he changes to locale to Korean the texts still come in as ******. Any idea what's happening? My other friend's Vibrant has no problem receiving Korean Text. I thought it was weird that the Captivate couldn't.
