Hey there!

I'm looking for a rubber black case for my new coming Samsung Galaxy S battery (3000 mAH) which I bought from batteryupgrade.com

Anyone know where I can get a "good" rubber case for it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ickyboo:
None exists

Sent from my Apple Newton 2100 running at 206mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] v205:
I thought about getting a cheap silicon case for the Galaxy S and then cutting out the back to allow the petruded part to go through the cutout.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ciex:
Well, that would work too, but I want to buy a product which is finished made, not something I want to modify to cut the silicon or something.

I thought those giant batteries pack like Mugen and the one from batteryupgrade is well known? strange no companies are making something to protect the them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oggy059:
Not sure...found the rubber case on the Amzer...but for the extended battery...I'm not quite sure about that....
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] The King Tyrone:
note,,

dont know if u got one yet, but looks like this one comes with the backing but not case, just use a Nav Man or Tom Tom or Garmin case!

135 $$$$$

It costs too much.

One 3000 A battery, plus the back cover, from honk king costs 15 $$$$
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hockeyaddict:
that is a bit
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Javalescu:
It doesn't seems to expensive, but i don't think the extended range makes up for the enlarged dimensions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
You would think Microsoft would create this application as a priority. Jesus, even my blackberry has WINDOWS LIVE!

What the hell! >:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Yes that was quite puzzling.

I would have thought that it would be on there before it launched.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
I'll laugh if AOL sticks an AIM client on the marketplace before Microsoft gets an MSN Messenger client up there. It's boneheaded moves like this that have defined Microsoft lately and it's why they went from almost owning the smartphone market to being in a position where they may never be able to catch up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BIG-Stan:
Did ya'll look on the marketplace??? There is a live messenger there. The company that made isn't microsoft but they got paid by ms to do the app and it's the official messenger app...

Dont really get the confusion :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
TRUST ME IF THAT POS APP WAS REMOTELY PRACTICAL I WOULD HAVE USED IT.

Pretty much the "in and out" phone is just keeping me out from using my phone! Seriously this OS has immense potential but the launch was seriously half-assed, I would have been happier if they had delayed the launch window to early next year.

This is going to give a bad impression to many early adopters, let's not forget the issues with supply.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
I don't know...I've played with the phones now quite a bit and really like the polish and features...yes, there are some glaring features missing but they will be added. I was told at an MS kickoff meeting earlier this week that they are going to have a ton of updates starting in January...they kept saying they are betting the farm on this so we'll see...

I would agree on the marketing front however...I don't understand how they can do such a good job with xbox360 marketing and do such a half assed attempt with the wp7 which is arguably more important to them in the long term.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ogner:
They must be working on a native WLM. They make one for iPhone and Blackberry. They have produced a version for 3 on Android, which a third party coded.

It plugs into Yahoo Messenger too. Plus WLM now talks to Facebook Chat. They are rolling out that feature as we speak. But only a few people have it right now.

Maybe they will release WLM at CES. I can imagine Ballmer and Zuckerberg make an announcment together. Or at Mobile World Congress at the latest.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Maybe they were waiting for Microsoft Lync, which is apparently coming to Windows Phone in 2011. I just hope that, whatever it is, its a native app and ideally integrated into the OS.

Was just doing some reading about Microsoft Lync, sounds perfect...

http://lync.microsoft.com/en-us/Product/Technologies/Pages/public-im-connectivity.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 General] zroth:
you can go to live.com and use the web messenger from the menu-> messenger option

peace
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
The Zune HD Live Messenger only came out last month and had Facebook chat integrated. They're probably working on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
What on earth are you talking about??? Messenger was available from day one and was one of the first apps I downloaded! its made by another company though. not microsoft. have a proper look or bing it in market place.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
There's no need to be like that when evidently you haven't read all the posts. We know there's a messenger but it's not an official one and as such it doesn't do the job for the OP and others.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BIG-Stan:
But it wont get more official. I read somewhere that the company that made the current wlm was paid by ms to code the app as an official one.

I'm pretty sure though that it will get updated with more features. The current version certainly lacks some features compared to the ios version.

ps: here is the link to the article

http://www.liveside.net/2010/10/14/whos-building-the-official-messenger-app-for-wp7-not-microsoft/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Microsoft has often asked other developers to make app for them like the facebook one on winmo 6.5 but they would always mark it as an official MS app, so if that company is in charge I'm sure it would be a different version without their name on it.

That aside, I can't see Microsoft developing a WLM app for Zune HD and an awesome one for the iPhone and then not make one for their own platform. Doesn't make any sense.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blahism:
Pretty sure we will see something soon enough that surpasses the cheesy app that is out now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mei_liberi_fatali:
Why the hell would MS pay somebody to make the messenger and not provide them with the ability to have it run in the background?

I have read the same articles, and it smells rather off to me.

Personally, i cant wait for a better one. (or the existing one to get out of pre-alpha phase, coz that's how bad it is)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kiloah:
what dont you guys get? the official app is the one on the market. microsoft just paid another company to make it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
"Messenger by Miyowa"? What don't we get? Well, for starters, how you managed to use it to message anyone. That thing is rubbish, I can't imagine Microsoft let anyone put that thing out in their name and, last I checked which was about 45 seconds ago it was the only IM app in the marketplace.

The app doesn't have to run in the background. Beejive and IM+ for iPhone worked quite well before iPhone supported background operation and it worked via push notification. I think they both support background execution now but why bother when push works so well? That's memory freed up to use for something else.

Finally, a really half-assed solution that works is the SMS / IM interface most carriers provide. Some only do AIM but some cover them all. Do a google search for your carrier. AT&T, for example, uses SMS numbers starting with 265000 to log in and so on. If you're really that hard up for IM it's better than nothing, but just barely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zroth:
People are funny in this world.

In theory this OS is a platform for the community to build on.

Too bad the community is a mob with pitchforks.

Who in their right mind will develop anything when the populous will undoubtedly attack their creation?

Microsoft can't fix people. Why does anyone need messenger when all they do is hate on everything new?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
I read that news about this third party company and I have a strong feeling that it's false. There is no way, that MS which created official messenger app for every other platform would outsource something so native to an unknown third party company for the windows OS!

I have a feeling that was a fake news spread by that third party company.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
There aren't any instant messenger apps because of the background/multitasking problem. The messager app created by the 3rdparty company is crap exactly because of this. There's no yahoo or aim, or skype.. nothing. If applications cannot run in the background how would a messaging app that requires that run?
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
LOL....no, that's the way it is per my experience and the experience of everyone else who reviewed it. If you can get it to work properly, please post how you did it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Daemon_px:
that Myomo IM client is really an instant-uninstall. Doesn't even startup correctly in my Trophy, input user and pass and as soon I click "sign in", throws back errors.

No way MS (or any serious company, IMO) would accept that as an alpha build, let alone allow someone publish that POS as a MS official release version.

I've been testing pre-release versions of Messenger for years, and not a single one was this bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
If music can be played in the background, so can they make messenger apps work in the background. It's possible Microsoft hasn't given those tools yet to do that. Even then, there is no excuse for Microsoft not making one!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
As it stands right now you are SOL - no third party multi-tasking means no third party multi-tasking. Did MS come up with their own messenger app - the answer is no.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
Another partial solution is mobile.msn.com which appears to work ok in the browser. I haven't actually tried this yet but in settings you can select a 2 or 5 minute auto update and that may well work in WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
YThe iPhone doesn't support multitasking for IM and has had a solid number of im apps for the last 3 years. If anything, it's the lack of a socket API that is causing issues.

Either way, it's already confirmed that IM+ and Paliringo are coming.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
This (things that seem to work despite no one knowing how, like music in the background) brings up something else I've been thinking about. It's been stated here and there and apps like RDP that require direct connections can't be done because there's no socket support in the current SDK, yet Slingplayer works well and I can't imagine that's anything but some sort of direct connection. I haven't really looked into the SDK yet (I'm still watching the jumpstart videos) but if anyone else can answer this apparent discrepancy I'm all ears!
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
Errr....iPhone supports multitasking for any app that wants to use it. I believe Beejive and IM+ both support it now, probably more. But yes, before that they used push notification which worked just fine and leads me to wonder why people insist no multitasking means no IMing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
iPhone supports multitasking for a handful of types of services (I think there are 7). IM is not included as one of those services. I'm fairly sure the apps you're mentioning just support fast-app switching, which means they get suspended instead of terminated. Unless i'm misunderstanding it. I always had a 3G, which never got access to that functionality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
As best as I can recall it supports at least the 10 minute completion API. Beejive itself said that "push notifications aren't going away" but they were pretty nebulous about how long it would run in the background, just that "you can browse the web and listen to music while chatting with friends". It may well be less than infinite background processing but it's more fast-app switching.

Regardless, without actually having gotten that yet my understanding of WP7 was that it was going to support a similar model of push notification instead of multitasking. If that means the phone doesn't slow to a crawl and crash as soon as the phone rings or something else somewhat urgent happens, ala WinMo 6.5, I'm all for it. I wouldn't mind eventually seeing cooperative multitasking if only because it kind of sucks having to connect to Slingbox, bring up the browser to see what's on TV, connect to the Slingbox, answer a text message, connect to the Slingbox....etc. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Agreed. It sounds like some form of multitasking is coming, they are just looking for the best way to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if we got something like Apple has, which appears to be a good compromise.

Personally, I'm just hoping they integrate Lync into the OS and call it a day :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that you could post to Microsoft Live via the "post quick message", same way you do with facebook? Or is that not Messenger? I'm probably mistaken.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
Good news, a new version of that third party messenger app is out and now allows to run in the background without disconnecting and pushes new messages on the home screen.

It's a bit primitive, but it kinda works now, better than nothing!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I thought it was boneheaded of them for not having a free voice nav on the device at launch. But then I came to understand it is a matter of quality control. It will come, but the skeleton is being formed first.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
100% agree, that makes absolutely no sense at all. I'm sure they're working on one that's just not ready yet.

An official app would never be named "application by developer" anyway. Think People!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I have tried that new version and it runs slightly better than it did before, however it still crashes and has issues.

Can't wait for an official messenger.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
the one I'm using hasn't crashed and runs in the background. What's the problem?

It runs in the background...

Working on my hd7.

I have to agree with another poster on here that y'all are a really negative bunch. If you don't want to start over with a brand new OS, why did y'all buy a wp7 device????

Apps will come, more are there everyday. Maybe IM isn't that important to a lot of users, I know I only installed this to check it out and don't ever IM. Isn't that what texting is for????
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I will comment on the last part, believe it or not there are still users that do not pay for unlimited text messaging plans, and when they get 5 messages in the row, like

"Did you see that?"

"It was too damn funny"

"LOL"

"OMG"

"I am gonna die now"

it adds up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
What's funny is that there is an official Windows Live Messenger app for the ZuneHD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] markgamber:
LOL...you know, you can be as sarcastic and self-serving as you'd like, until about 6 hours ago it was unstable and entirely unusable. And don't confuse being negative with being truthful. No one likes wasting their time with unstable programs and snarky posts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BIG-Stan:
I dont know but the messenger app runs pretty good on my omnia 7. I can chat with my messenger friends :D what else do you guys need? I bet facebook chat will be added soon.

And again, it wont get more official ;)

Like MJ would say: "This is it!"
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
Not being sarcastic, being truthful. I installed the app, and it worked as expected. Y'all are so busy trying to find every little thing wrong with the OS, that when some posts something useful, you try to tear it down.
[Droid 2 General] jy3ng4:
I know you can create shortcuts to the main Settings menus (battery use, bluetooth settings, etc.) by just long-pressing the screen -> Shortcuts, but I need to create a shortcut to a submenu (specifically Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode)

This is on a Droid 2 Global. Anyone know how I can do this? I have LauncherPro and I know you can make shortcuts with it but programming those shortcuts seems pretty complicated. Also I know you can make additional shortcuts using the LauncherPro "Activities" menu but I can't find the "Network Mode" settings in that list either.

Any ideas?
[Droid 2 General] jy3ng4:
Anyone got any ideas? I'm guessing the relevant process will be something like "com.android.settings.networkmode" but I'm not sure
[Droid 2 General] sinistersai4d4d:
I use Quick Settings app to get there honestly... though it's still a few steps. Long Press Search Button > Tap Mobile Data > Tap networks.

I'm not sure of another way..
[HD7 General] wwfc:
Hi guys. First off; I'm getting a new phone next month and I'm looking to get a wp7 device, but which one?

I've narrowed down two options:

- Htc hd7, £30 p/m 500mb data, unlimited sms and 300mins (Orange network)

- Samsung omnia 7, £30 p/m 1gb data, 5000 sms, 500mins, free Skype calls (Three network)

I know it may seem the omnia is a much better deal, but the screen size and HTC hub are very attractive. So, could owners of both give me some ideas as to which I should take the plunge for?

Thanks in advance. :D

[Omnia 7 General] juniourgoh:
I was using HTC hero with Orange but the reception for me is really bad (east London).....i can never talk more than 1 minute in my own home.

I recently bought the omnia 7 with T-mobile £35 per month 900 Min and 500 txt including

a flexible booster....i can now talk with ease in my own home.

The Omnia 7 is just beautiful compared to the HTC HD7 beacuse of the SUPER AMOLED screen.....but unfortunately Omnia 7 is only 8 gb but HTC HD7 is 16 gig

I'd go for quality....:)
[Omnia 7 General] Darknight247:
I recently got the Onmia 7... very very very nice handset, its very quick it looks stunning and thank god isnt made by HTC.

The memory on the omnia is built into the phone with chips and not Micro SD, this has its pros and cons.

The pros are its very fast, games loader quicker..there are vids on youtube to show this.

The cons - cant upgrade size

The screen is really something to see, its Beautiful

HTC seem to be putting more effort into their android phones than the WP7, which is fair enough its a new product and possibly they dont believe it will sell much, android on the other is has a waiting list on the Desire of 6000 on Orange Uk network, so thats defo a seller they will back.

Ive had a few HTC devices over the last few years and they always seem to come short of being what you want (my personal opinon).

Also the camera on the Onmia is a 5MP and isnt the best but is ok as a happy snapper.. good when you need a quick pic. That being said I think the only handset that has a better one is the HTC Mozart with 8MP.. but if you want something that takes Professional Pics go buy a proper camera from Nikon or Olympus.

Hope this helps
[Omnia 7 General] rob_p:
I've had a play with the Omnia 7, and it's a good phone no doubt - the screen really pops, but I actually prefer the LCD on the HD7 for day to day - the Omnia is not realistic and too saturated.

The HD7 has a bigger screen, which if you use it for browsing etc is a big advantage. I found myself reconfiguring my router the other night using the wife's HD7 because she was using the laptop, and it was bloody brilliant I have to say - so easy to do, and definitely feel the extra screen size plays a big part here.

The HD7 is very well made - I've seen some reports to the contrary on here, but I can only imagine people have had bad luck because I can't fault the quality on the HD7.

There are early glitches with it - there always well be, but I'm sure there are with the Sammy as well. The manufacturers will release firmware updates to resolve this.

I would say what do you want the phone for - is storage space important, is size important (either big or small)? Make your decision on that basis as ultimately they are both pretty much the same hardware, and both are the same OS!

Oh, and HTC hub is more of a gimmick really, can't see the point in it overall since you now have the Metro UI instead. It looks nice, but can't see that you'd use it often as it's not the home screen.
[Omnia 7 General] Darknight247:
Agreed.. new OS's always have bugs.. the Samsung has them too, hope to be sorted soon by Microsoft.
[Omnia 7 General] wwfc:
Thanks for all of your responses, I think I'm going to go with the Samsung, I had a look at both devices in store today and the omnia 7 feels far better made and the games loaded much quicker; added to the beautiful screen is a winning combination. Thanks again for your responses :D I can't wait for my new phone!
[Omnia 7 General] Milky1:
I've had both HD7 and Omnia 7 and the Omnia has much better build quality.

Oh and I would recommend going with a different network to 3, I signed up with them as they were the only shop to have a Omnia 7 in, I am not impressed with them at all.
[Omnia 7 General] wwfc:
Thanks for the info, I'm not sure I've never been with three and the only other deal that comes close is with orange who I'm currently on and have shocking coverage in my area. My mate who lives down the road has an omnia 7 with three and the signal is great where mine is awful :S
[Omnia 7 General] comeradealexi:
I've got the omnia 7 and the quality of the screen just blows me away every time i look at it
[Omnia 7 General] rashlan976:
I think it just depends more on where you live. I've been with 3 for the past 12 months and have found the network to be great.
