just got my White TPU case off ebay for about $10 bucks shipped

Feels Great in hand

Combination of soft/hard case is amazing

Cut-outs were perfect for the phone!

only down side is the power button, their isn't a cutout but just a soft-push part thats still sorta hard to press but no worries just run a custom rom to have trackpad lock/unlock and your fine if anything.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ServError:
I just ordered one from them on ebay, it was actually cheaper than their website O.o

will give a review when I get it.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] syaoran68:
i would totally get one but the wierd checker design on the back is not very appealing to me though that white one from TPU looks super dope.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kitsunisan:
Soon as I saw that wallpaper I knew that was your phone Johnny. ^_^
[myTouch 4G Accessories] HTCMDA:
the "weird checker design" case makers, now have a glossy black TPU case, that is full black, with no designs. just straight up high gloss black.

I wish I could find a matte black TPU case.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ServError:
I just got mine a few days ago from the ebay seller that owns tpu-cases.com (theyre cheaper on ebay than the website O.o)

anyway, it's an awesome case, I got the smoked one for my white mt4g with the diamond pattern and it looks great (especially over the battery door, where the diamonds look like a reflective metal pattern)

The power button mold seems to require a bunch of clicks to soften up and break in, but paired with the skinomi screen protector I have on here, the phone seems invincible.

also, the ones from TPU cases has one big cutout in the back, instead of three seperate ones, which should be good for avoiding the LED flash absorption problem that some have been reporting.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] syaoran68:
super nice! cant wait for the clear one. thanks for the heads up :)
[myTouch 4G Accessories] DisturbedAle:
Has anyone tried the $4 cases here?

http://cgi.ebay.com/SLU-BLACK-SOFT-...ccessories&hash=item20b626e1c3#ht_2176wt_1139

Also, how does that compare to the others from $7-10?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] DatNizzle:
yep

Yeah those are the same cases. I got mine 3 for $9. The only differences are the patter and the lens/flash cut-out.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Jacezo:
Black prince 310 made a video review of one on the youtubez. Idk wherehe for it though.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] irrelephant:
mine should be her on the 1st, so i will post pics and review for yall, since DCMugen is still out of town... but i will get one from them too, and i am really waiting for the otterbox to hit the shelves!!!

i am just glad someone is putting out something other than them damned checker backs!!!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] MeatyCoins:
LOL I bought the exact same case from the same seller.

It's a tight fit but the only problem I Have is im paranoid my buttons are getting pushed in to the point I cant even press them.

To push the power button and volume buttons dosent even feel like a press, your just pushing on the hard button and adventually the button works....any fix ?

buttons are wayyy tooo hard
[myTouch 4G Accessories] athakur999:
I have the same problems with the buttons being hard to push. I had a TPU case on my mt3g before so I knew what I was getting into but I've found the issue to be far worse on my mt4g. Hopefully it will get better with time.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] faux123:
I have the clear checker board design one also bought from eBay... Mine is not super tight, so the buttons (volume up/down and power) still gives positive feedback when pressed. Maybe quality control issues where some are tighter than others (not a big surprised consider the price and place of origin).

Overall I like the TPU over the plain silicone version. I have placed an order for an Otterbox version. As soon as Otterbox deliver their case for MT4G, the TPU will be collecting dust as my silicone case...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] gordonzhao:
I have the same smoked tpu case with white argyle style pattern, though I have a anti-glare screen protector. The power/standby button isn't easy enough to hit so i just downloaded a program from Market called "Screen off and lock" to my homescreen makes thinks a lot easier and there is less stress and wear on the standby button from the case.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] neidlinger:
I ordered mine yesterday via Amazon.

Will post back when i receive it
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kingvaj23:
Hey guys do you guys know of anyone having there power/unlock button getting jammed or stuck while using the tpu case?? I just got one and since its hard to.press I hope it doesn't affect it in anyway..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...501297&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2187wt_902

Just bought this case off eBay. It looks promising, but you never know what to expect from something less than $3. I'll post back on how the quality of this case is when I get it.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Lockeskidney:
let me know im in th emarket for a case
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Lockeskidney:
anyone get this? ( i think someone might have)

does teh case keep the lens off the ground?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] MeatyCoins:
I have that exact same case from the exact same seller and listing, & yes for the most part it does...its a tight fit & the power/volume buttons give no give when pressing but they do press if your press hard enough
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kenrippy:
i don't understand why these tpu cases have an opening on the side for the dock connectors. i doubt you could slide the mt4g into a dock with the tpu case on anyway.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] neidlinger:
mine doesn't it's closed up tight.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kenrippy:
thanks for the heads up, i just ordered one from tpu cases.com because i prefer that style over the one i have.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] neidlinger:
well i got mine via Amazon. Got a TPU case, and a spare charger for a few bucks more.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kenrippy:
sounds good, i'll see how this one is from tpucases. thnx
[myTouch 4G Accessories] davemolina:
I picked up a clear one and got it within a few days. It's way nicer then the silicone case I had, but I ended up taking a razor blade to the power button mold to cut it out and make it easier to push.

It was annoying me.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ELBdelorean:
The case just arrived today and so far, it's pretty good. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's difficult to press the power button, volume buttons, and the camera shutter button.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] JustinD2473:
www.degasis.net just added the MyTouch 4G to thier website.....and they ship from the USA
[myTouch 4G Accessories] irrelephant:
well i must say that this case has the dreaded hard to press volume, power and camera buttons, but i dropped it from about 10 ft on to concrete and not a scratch on the phone or the screen!!! i effin love it!!!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] MaxxReign:
Just received my OEM TPU case from WirelessGround and I couldn't be happier. It's an amazing fit and the quality is top notch. I highly recommend this case.

Is it possible to unlock a rogers htc dream g1 to a telus network

Im getting mixed messages from unlocking company's

Someone told me "That phone will not work on hspa"

But people say they have unlocked it to telus?

Im buying a second hand phone to replace my bl40

So its it possible to use my telus sim for the htc dream?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timekeeper:
I am not quite sure. Rogers is GSM, Telus and Bell used to be CDMA only networks, but they have built a sizeable GSM network now, so you could concievably use an unlocked Rogers phone with a Bell GSM sim card, you'd have to check the bands to be certain though. Try calling up Bell and asking, tell them you're thinking of bringing an unlocked Rogers phone over.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
It will work fine. Robelus all use the same HSPA 850/1900.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Snake-Plissken:
Is it possilbe to clean up the start menu of the Sense UI? Like make folders for system tools, multimedia, games and so on. instead of having this endless list of apps. i always miss the app i am looking for, even that the are sorted a-z.

i am used to it from my old hd2 with win mob. you just make folders and move it where you want. but i dont know how about android handles this thing.

maybe somebody can help me.

Thanks

sorry i was doing some miss-spelling on the title, if some mod or admin would be so friendly and correct that please ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Humz:
As of yet I dont think there is a way and your best bet is to just create folders on your desktop and organise it that way. To be honest I would prefer the windows menu because I love organisation....unfortunately...the rest of windows mobile sucked...

Hope that helps.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Snake-Plissken:
i agree, that was the only positive thing on windows mobile. i had everything organized and could find everything in a few clicks. now i have to scroll up and down the list ;) especially some programms have wired names, so i dont always remember them...

do you know a good folder programm?

i am trying right now "folder organizer lite" is there anything better, except the paid version of it?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dvhttn:
I was a bit put out when I saw that the items are in one big list. Mind you, I've just come from having years of Nokia phones and if you don't use something very often it's a pain to remember which menu tree it's in so there are pros and cons.

What I've done is clear out the HTC stuff from each screen and arrange different *groups* of widgets on each. So 'media' (camera, music, etc) on one for example. System-type stuff on another (settings, brightness, etc etc).

Works for me but each to his own.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Sergio76:
Use Folder Organizer it does a good Job for me you can find a free version on Market.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Snake-Plissken:
i am using folder organizer already and bought the full version. but it would be nice if i could get rid of this messed up menu.

i have just one question to folder organizer. how can i get or make my own folder icons. do they have to be in .ico format and where do i have to put them?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Prad001:
Why cant we create folders and push them to a home screen and use it, this can be better if i am not wrong! I am still new to android but i found this useful and easy to access my apps!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] adnanmohd:
You can try "smart shortcuts" its a free app from market
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
You can create folders on your home screen and put shortcuts to any apps within them. Just drag and drop. You can also rename folders by long-presing on the title bar of an open folder.

Alternatively, if you don't mind using a different launcher to HTC Sense you can get ADW.Launcher free from Market. This allows you to create 'custom catalogues' in the app draw. You can set it to have pagination buttons within the app draw to easily switch between the catalogues. You can, if you like, have one for games, one for navigation etc. It's not ideal but it works and ADW.Launcher is a great (and very customisable) launcher too.

Hope this helps.

[Epic 4G General] Grimvi:
The ability to have airplane mode on and still use wifi is actually becoming very common apparently. The iPhone has had that latent functionality since the 3G, however I think the reason it was so common there is due to AT&Ts exorbant roaming rates.

/offtopic

Back on subject, I like that ability as using wifi for the majority of functions of my device helps conserve battery for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vboyz103:
So miui had been great and allows us to customize our own icon on launcher. So I thought maybe we can share our icons here for theming needs.

Some background for those who are not aware of what this is.

In MIUI, at first boot after flashing, miui will rip through your list of apps in /data/app/ and extract the icon associated with that app and put it into the "/data/system/customized_icons_1" folder. For instance, if I have the appbrain app on my /data/app/, there will be a corresponding PNG file in /data/system/customized_icons_1/com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps.png.

Now what do you do with this PNG file?

First of it's an image file, and if you do theming or for some reason you don't like the default icon, you can certainly replace them with newer icon.

So cool, how do I replace the default icon?

OK, so go find an icon of your choosing in PNG format and specific size (check mine for sample). Rename your new PNG to the exact same name of the app, so in my example the new icon I downloaded named "someofthepic.png", then I'll rename it to "com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps.png" to match with appbrain.

After you renamed it, upload these to /data/system/customized_icons_1/ and reboot your phone. You will then have a brand spanking new icons.

This process can be applied to newly installed apps as well.

CREDIT: these icons are from Suave HD theme I got over miui forum.

I know the app but not sure what is the related "system" name of the app, what do I do?

Head over to http://www.androlib.com/, put in the name of your app, in my example it'll be "appbrain" and search. Scroll to the middle of the page, the section above screenshot will have what is call a "Package Name". This is the one that you need to copy&paste.

EDIT: these customized icons will only work if your apps are located on /data/app and if MIUI launcher parsed it to create an icon in /data/system/customized_icons_1 folder. For maps and other which is system apps, you will have to tinker with the apk itself or the framework-res.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] .mak:
Thanks for the write-up, I swapped a couple of icons (Yahoo!, facebook, ScanLife and Spare Parts..) and plan to make more custom icons to match for the others I have installed now..

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] robert_ayala:
After following the steps to change the icons. It worked after the reboot but after subsequent reboots, Miui reverted back to the original icon. I am using version 11.5 stable. Any thoughts as to why this may be occurring?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saulhaul:
+1

Same here. Some of the ones I changed are still my custom icon, where the others reverted back to the original ones.

I'm trying to change my Google maps app icon and I cant
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Freddan80:
Yup I got it to work but after a couple of reboots and and some mounts to the computer, some of them reverted back to default and after a check inside the customzied_icon folder they had reverted there to and after a delete of the file and a copy with the new icon it directly reverted back.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vboyz103:
I had the icons there and reboots countless of times but not reverting back. What you experience is that might be some of the apps got updated in market and therefore, icons revert back obviously, and yes you have to replace them again.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I couldn't find the folder "/data/system/customized_icons_1" anywhere, not on my phone, or on my sd card :confused:

well done guys, you have made me a happy g2 owner again!!

Hi Everyone,

i figured we might need to clean up the

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805024

conversation.

as i see it, there are 2 issues

1. people receive an unlock code, the phone accepts it but then it cannot find any network

2. people receive an unlock code, have troubles entering the code but eventually get it in ok.

please do not post anything "setting" related - apn's, bands etc as this has been tried and shown not to work (yet)

it might be helpful if people who have issue number 1 could post some answers to some questions.

as i am not at all smart enough to work out what we need to know from these people, id appreciate it if those in the know could pm me what they think could be useful, and ill make a template for people to follow

Current Theories: (please PM me if i have anything wrong here or if i need to add details.)

Theory #1

Ghul99: the code is accepted, but the phone is still locked?

http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=121

------------

interesting information

this seems to support theory #1

1. i unlocked phone - code entered successfully, and i was no longer prompted to enter an unlock code

2. i perm-rooted my phone - all went to plan

3. i put the vision rom on my phone (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834450) loaded ok

4. i put a sim in my phone and now i am prompted for an unlock code.

5. i tried to re-enter my code but it would not accept it (it is the same code from step 1)
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewklau:
Nice idea for taking the initiative to clean up the thread which was getting excessilely long!

I'm hoping we can see some progress in a few days as I'm really missing being able to get any cell reception on a MOBILE PHONE!?

Regards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
I will summerize my knowledge later but one thing upfront.

IntuativNipple posted today in IRC that he found the way to get real S-OFF which would also allow SIM-unlock without code.

So there is hope for a solution, but keep your patience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nicky.m:
That's really exciting.

Thanks for bring up the good news!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gpou:
Just to help guhl and catch up with some unnecessary posts.

Common solutions like Reboot, different sims to try, Hard reset, flash stock ROM or trigger the unlock window to reenter the code doesn't work
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Summary of my knowledge so far

For case 1 which was the original problem my theory is the following.

Cause:

Because of problems with the write procedure to the emmc memory the MCCMCN to which the phone is locked did not get cleared but set to an arbitrary value in my case "C3AB".

The CID value is still the same as it used to be (and also in case of a successful unlock would stay the same) which is "T-MOB010". The CID is a 8 character string and the case where all characters are the same (i.e. "11111111") is called Super-CID.

It is of no relevance if you use or used the hardware or software keys, T-Mobile or third party sources. The only reason where it would be your fault is if you pulled the battery!

The unlock-code that we possess (regardless if official or from a different source) is not valid to unlock the phone from this value "C3AB". If one tries again (directly with the modem, using my modified libril.so or a different ROM) the lock counter will increase.

Potential ways to repair this state:

1. Give it back to T-Mobile if you can In my opinion this is a clear warranty case

2. Find someone who has the MegaSIM and the HTC-diag software.

This will definitely work but it is going to be hard to find someone because the SIM is rare and very new.

3. Wait until (or help achieving) the so called "real S-OFF" state of the phone (when also the radio has security disabled) is reached.

When this is achieved one can disable the SIM-lock without any code.

There are still some very good developers after this goal even if for different reasons.

Which information could help us:

1. The output of the following AT-Command sequence from successful and unsuccessful unlocks

ATE1
ATV1
AT@CID?
AT@SIMLOCK?AA
AT@SIMLOCK?40
AT@SIMLOCK?80

I will try to write a HowTo later for Windows.

For linux see the following posting from the old thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8750299&postcount=121)

2. The next thing that would help is a logcat from the first unlock process itself.

Howto:

Start the first logcat using the USB-cable and adb before you boot the phone with the foreign SIM.

adb logcat -b radio > lc_unlock.txt

leave the logcat running and complete the unlock procedure till the phone reboots (the logcat will end automatically)

As soon as the first logcat exits start a new one using:

adb logcat -b radio > lc_after_unlock.txt

leave it running for 1 minute and then stop it using <Ctrl>-C

3. The next thing that really would help is that you do not post anything in this thread (use the old one instead) that has to do with:

- the APN

- trying another SIM (you would be very lucky if you had one that fits the arbitrary SIMlock)

- reboot, factory reset, use a stock or non stock firmware

- use the hw/sw-keyboard, wait for the right outside temperature or other esoteric procedures

Finally I would like to ask moodecow to edit his original posting and incorporate or link everything that he finds important or helpful in his posting so that it will stay an top.
