I bit the bullet and ordered one. I'll give a full review with pictures when it arrives. It's nice that Tiger Direct ships UPS though. I really hate the post office... yuk!

The cool thing about this holster is that you can use it one ANY phone so I switch up with one of my many current or future phones. Will be a nice combo with the T-Mobile Gel Skin, I think.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sinmantx:
The holster for the Driod and the incredible work.

Amazon item "Seidio Innocase Holster Case Combo for Motorola Droid (Black)" This was $19 in the Verizon store
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
Yeah I just saw that in another thread. it looks nice! I'm gonna stick with this one since I can put in the holster while the gel skin is still on. I dont think the regular seidio holsters will do that. I know they have some that hold the phone with a case on but not the current ones. they have to go naked to fit. I'll post some pics later this week when it arrives. it should be here wednesday or thursday... but thanks for the heads up!

Does the hinge swivel? I don't like the phone face up but rather on its side on my belt.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
Yes. it swivels in both vertical and horizontal positions....
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pyro9219:
I just ordered one of these myself to go with another item folks on here found, seems like a near perfect replacement to Seidio if both items are used together.

This is the hard shell for the phone itself:

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
Yeah, that's what I using with this holster. Well the OEM version, at least. Its nice and have enjoyed it. Very handy...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pyro9219:
How do you get your phone in and out of the holster one handed like the box says? getting it on isn't so bad, I keep ripping it off my belt when trying to do anything with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
If you are using a wider belt like I am, it is kinda difficult at first. I fixed it by pushing upwards on the clip so that it closes all the way. Do that firmly once, and it should fit nicely. If you belt is wider than the clip... well that's the issue. Just examine the clip while its on the belt. If it isn't closed tightly... push the clip upward into the belt and it will loosen and fit properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pyro9219:
I pulled out the clip spring and detached the clip so I could remove the screw on the pivot. This let me flip the clip over so that I pushed down rather than pulled up to remove the phone and the problem was solved. as the clip is now forced against my belt.

As a warning though, I had to snip off the two retainer bumps from the case to get it to pivot correctly again. As a side effect, it can now pivot in 360 degrees (it doesn't spin freely)

In the end, this will do, but I'm really hoping that Seidio pulls through as this system is not the quality I would like for my needs. I prefer the snug fit and felt padding in the seidio as it keeps the screen clean and protected rather than the spring powered gap and distance away from the holster the screen is now.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
yeah, I got mine working with just a little force by pushing upwards on the clip without modding (which is nice). It's a nice clip but I guess your belt was a bit wider than mine. But so far this seems like the best thats available. it would be nice if otterbox or seido made a clip that fit on their protective cases but it seems like it won't happpen... oh well, we got stuck with the rather lame otterbox commuter series:(. Welll, I am happy with this setup though. no complains here since I didn't have to snip off the retainer clips.

Ouch.. have you tried the various download mode tricks, like the usb jig and hairdryer thing?

Or maybe check in the vibrant forums if they have a different button combination for download mode? If your volume buttons got remapped, might have something else changed too

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilvoice:
I tried to word the title correctly to establish that I want to ask 2 different questions, but dont want to clutter up the board with 2 separate posts

Please help if you can

1. Kernel

Why do some kernels work with some roms and not others? I have taken a Sprint Rom, ran it through the kitchen, and tried flashing any number of kernels. The only one that works is Zenulators AnyKernel. I know at times only the stock overclocked worked, but I think at certain times I have gotten the no perf lock to work (though that may have been with an NFX Rom, and not one that I created myself). This leads me to ask why would a kernel work for a rom that is built from the same base that I am using, but not on mine? Is dsixda's kitchen not the one everyone uses? I just dont understand why I am limited to one kernel that is not undervolted and overclocked. I would like to put a 768 overclocked, undervolted kernel with this rom, but cant get any to flash. Should I just use the kitchen to "port" the kernel. How does nfinitefx45 get the kernels he posts to work with a Sprint base? Is the kernel edited in some way? Im not calling anyone out, just trying to learn how to get a good kernel to work with my rom.

2. MAJOR issue: when running df, I get an error that etc/mtab: no such file or directory. What I have done is in the paragraph below

I decided to take another cracked at a minimal Sprint 2.1 Rom. I used dsixda kitchen 0.107 to root, add busybox, remove boot sounds, deodex, add data/app, add nano + sysrw, sysro, bash, and zipalign the .7 Rom. I then removed all Sprint apps except for VVM, all google apps, all htc apps and widgets that were not explicity needed (need the contacts and ime apks among a few others), removed a ton of system apps (can provide a list of current system/app dir and a list of all that was removed if it will help). I edited the lockscreen so it wasnt in landscape mode all the time. Added an OMADM.apk file that didnt FC when I tried to update the prl (tested the update and it works). I did find an EPST.apk that adds ## codes back to the dialer (should I include that in the rom...wasnt intending on it as the only ## code that doesnt work is the prl...data works) OMADM.apk is smaller that the EPST...but EPST does exist already...and I might be able to pull OMADM meaning 0 firmware, profile, or prl updates...but you could do ##prl manual...I dont know, still thinking it through. I did end up creating a google apps zip file with the apps from the .7 rom so that market will work (removed maps as it wasnt up to date and the Streets.apk never worked, but left gmail, youtube, voice search to work with jonasl's htc keyboard, and of course gtalk). In doing this, I am thinking about creating some packs for the rom, but really need the above 2 questions answered to find out where to go from here.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hfelton:
afaict, the 'kernels' are literally just the linux kernel that provides some basics to the os... altho linux IS a monolithic kernel, it is not a bsd-system that has all the tools completely-compiled for the system together...

thus, the answer to 2. is that you have deleted too much of the periphery, for instance the actual mount-table system that df uses to to check... (ie: some prog creates the mtab, and apparently it is not the kernel, i guess)

alternatively, the answer to 1. is that there is actually too much in the roms that are using something unique to each kernel that you are trying to install (altho that seems odd to me)... thus, the only way that the rom will work is if you give it the kernel with the tools that it (the rom) needs...

tbh - im not exactly sure - ive not gone into the depths of kernel-swapping that youre trying to explore... in full-linux-systems, the kernel is fairly easy to update without breaking all of the miscellaneous tools - however apparently the android-roms are more tied-together than a normal linux system...

gl and maybe someone with more experience will give an accurate (rather than a guessing) answer... :)

Hi all, I am just getting started in developing a very simple app (Hello World) and when I try to run it I get the following error:

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients

The project builds fine but when I run it I get the error. Any ideas on how to solve this? I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and downloaded the developer tools from Microsoft site (vm_web).

Thanks in advance, Onam.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] The Gate Keeper:
do you get that when you attempt to launch the application in the emulator? if so, how much ram do you have? you require a minimum of 1.5GB for the emulator to run properly. I'm not sure why, but this is one of the things I ran into and was a suggested solution. I personally haven't tested it, but it did stop my virtual machine (currently set to 1GB) from running the phone emulator.

I dealt with the same issue recently. I copied everything from my old card to the PC, and then used ROM Manager to format and partition the new card. Aftrr that I copied everything I had on the old card to the new card. I'm using a variation of Leedroid's ROM as well.

Best of luck

[Nexus One General] izmar:
Just yesterday I was looking at my settings. Radio - 4.06.00.12_7

"Hmm.. Ive had the same radio... for as long as I can remember," I thought.

I looked at the 5.08 and 5.12 radios and decided on the 5.12.

And I've gotta say, wow that was an improvement.

I dont think I'm noticing a speed increase for upload or download, however my ping is much better! I seem to be responding to servers a lot quicker than I used to. Now it takes but a few seconds to load a song on Pandora, where before it had taken 10-20 seconds. Possibly a slight signal increase as well though it's hard to tell.

I never thought it might be my radio.

My battery life has also tremendously improved. Its almost 1 am and this thing has been off the charger since 8:30am. I'm at 53%! Say what? Save that drama for your mama llama! Sssssssnap~

So I guess this is somewhat of a tip to those who haven't considered changing up your radio! If you're still on 4.06, I recommended trying 5.12 or possibly 5.08 out for a few days and seeing how it works out for you.

This is also just kind of me ranting and raving so feel free to disregard haha.

Great tutorial from gravufo on page 2!

Also, from ksc6000
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Alot of people say that it improves battery but also several people showing stats from upload/download and showing that these new Korean radios make uploads and downloads much slower...

Its all about compromise i suppose
[Nexus One General] dowmace:
I have a faster ping with the 5.12 but slower up and down speeds, the 5.08 was the fastest for me but I have better battery performance with 5.12
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
So how do you go about putting in a new radio?:o
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Either with fastboot (preferable) or an update.zip via custom recovery (riskier).
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Go to the sticky at the top of the Nexus One Development forum, and scroll down until you're in the radio section of the post.

Download either the 5.08 or 5.12 .zip file, and flash it in recovery like you would anything else. Make sure you have a good amount of battery before flashing, just in case :)

As for slower speeds, I'm not noticing a change, or at least the change is too minuscule to notice.

To each their own is obviously the situation. Unless of course you live in my city ;)
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
Thank you, will try when I get home since I don't have a charger.

It's 90% full battery but no taking chance.:D
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Haha you will probably be fine :)
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
People, dun forget to mention the most important point: check the md5sum, else you will brick your phone! (at least this step is extremely important for the update.zip/recovery method...fastboot checks it by itself)
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
I've tried both 5.08 and 5.12 before. Each for a week. Did not notice a BIT of battery life increase. The only thing I did notice was that I was dropping calls a lot more. Went back to 4.06.
[Nexus One General] baseballfanz:
Well I'm on 5.12 now and hopefully no drop calls.:)
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I'm inclined to think most of these differences between radios are either random or imagined. Especially something like ping times which are almost entirely dependent on network conditions. I don't see how a new radio could possibly make any measurable difference in that area.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
They're definitely not imagined. At least battery life isn't. I'm at 63% right now and its 9:16. I've been off the charger for exactly 12 hours. With 4.06 I would be at 20 or less
[Nexus One General] rottenjello138:
i'm still on the fence about changing my radio

on 4.06 and battery is pretty bad

i really don't wanna unlock my bootloader though

i'm really picky when it comes to aesthetics and i KNOW that little padlock on the bootscreen would annoy the crap outta me

and flashing through recovery is definitely not an option

ahh choices :(
[Nexus One General] izmar:
You don't need to unlock your bootloader to have root! Have you been living under a rock? lol

[Nexus One General] android01:
im also on the stock radio with a locked bootloader running on CM 6.1 rc2 . as for battery life, using setcpu has fixed those problems for me . However, im curious about any potential performance improvements. Im not afraid to flash through the recovery but i would like to know more about checking the md5 sum on the radio download. Can anyone point me to a wiki or give me a brief on how to do that?

THanks
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Flashing through recovery is VERY safe if you make sure you check the MD5 checksums.

Here is how:

1. Download and install Hashtab (google it)

2. Download the radio.zip

3. Right click the file and go into properties, then into "File Hashes" tab

4. Copy the MD5 values that were posted on the download link

5. Paste them into the empty text box back in the properties of the file

5. If the green check mark appears, then you can go on and flash

5.2 I usually check MD5 when ALREADY inside the phone, to make sure it doesn't get corrupted while transferring to the phone (extra precautions)

Have fun :)
[Nexus One General] rottenjello138:
followed your instructions and installed via recovery successfully!

i must admit, i was a little nervous when i saw the android out of the box but i let it do its thing and it installed succesfully

on 5.12 now :)
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
A better solution to MD5 checking is mand5 app on the phone. It does exactly what you expect, it gives you the MD5 of a file :P. Compare it with the md5 from where you're downloading it, and you're good to go.
[Nexus One General] twflys:
Your grammar sucks, idiot!
[Nexus One General] sonnysekhon:
Thank you so much for this, this should be in the wiki. I finally caved and flashed 5.12 using your guide with ROM manager.

My bootloader is locked, am I correct in thinking that it has to be unlocked in order to use the fastboot method for flashing radios?

Thanks again.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You are correct
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Indeed, and yes the wiki should contain better tutorials...It took me a while to find out how to check MD5 too when I first started using Android, but luckily I did before I flashed a radio ^^
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
It is assumed that if you're doing something that could possibly brick your phone, you should have enough know-how to do a simple md5 sum check on a file :-\
[Nexus One General] rottenjello138:
I was gonna say something in return, but I'd rather not stoop to your infantile level :)

Stay classy :D
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
I can understand that, but it's not a reason to NOT explain how to check MD5sum. I'm very knowledgeable in computers and knew what MD5 or SHA1 were but I never knew how to verify them until i found it was very important for sensitive things like cell phones, that's when I google'd a lot and found out.
[Nexus One General] sonnysekhon:
Good call :).
[Nexus One General] blunden:
Well, searchin for "check md5" on google would give you many suggestions on how to do it. Verifying checksum should always be done when flashing important firmware on any device but now you know that. :)

You can also do it with md5sum that is included in busybox if you ever need it to do it on the phone. :)
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Thanks for the user support everyone.

Can anyone else report back on improvements after having flashed a new radio?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
It's VERY hard to put out useful data out of different radio versions since it's extremely dependent on the network state/signal and a lot of other things... I know for a fact that 5.x definitely seems better than 4.x! Other than that, it's hard to tell the difference between 5.08 and 5.12
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
Well, I know for a fact that 5.x sucks on my phone.

100% used up in 5-6 hours. WTF?!?!?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Well that's most probably because you don't know how to properly configure your phone, or because you have very weak 3G spots where you live or where you stay most...

Go in *#*#4636#*#* and put WCDMA Only, that will get you a few more hours if your 3G is actually very weak since it will NOT try to switch to 2G.

Other than that, you may have apps running in the background killing your battery? Did you do a test on a fully fresh installed stock OS? I assume not.
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
Or it's because the stupid radio doesn't work???????

Since the radio is the ONLY THING I CHANGED, I am pretty sure it's the sh!tty radio that is at fault!!?!?!?!??!?
[Nexus One General] rottenjello138:
Only 5-6 hours of battery life? I'm on 5.12 and last night i was at 32% after 18 hours of use with tweetdeck updating every half hour
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Meh, let him go he's just being a stubborn dude....too bad for him if he doesn't even wanna try improving his battery life...I get two days of battery on one charge with the 5.12 radio and my setcpu profiles + normal usage (few calls, lots of wifi, facebook, twitter, etc.)
[Nexus One General] izmar:
Hehe, same.

Every phone is different I guess, and there are certain variables we can't take into account because they differ from person to person. To each their own!
[Nexus One General] magma9495:
I recently upgraded to 5.08 from 4.06. Its a huge difference, much better. I was curious to try out the 5.12 radio. If I flash the 5.12 zip and I don't like it, can I reflash the 5.08 zip and be back running that radio or will it brick my phone?

Would I need a nandroid backup to revert back to my old radio?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
yes you can flash an older version back, and no you can't do nandroid since it doesn't touch the radio.

Just make sure you check the MD5 hashes and you'll be perfectly fine (make sure you have enough battery too :P )
