Otterbox Defender my pics

Ok, finally figured out how to post pics in this forum! Here are my pics of this excellent case.

Here are some pics of alternate uses that could be possible if the clamp mechanism was stronger.

These ones actually work ok for my car.
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
I know its been some time, but is this the case you are speaking of? http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/product/samsung-captivatebr-glove-snap-on-case,219,19.htm

I picked up one of the body glove cases in the ATT store and it was only some silicone sleeve that fit over the phone. I scrapped that in favor of Ghost Armor including the screen protector. Since then I been reading how the tight fitting Body Glove case attracts dust around the phone which in turn can scratch the phone.
[Captivate Accessories] Captain Geezer:
Bought this case as I work as a carpenter. I have to say I'm really pleased. The case does add bulk to the phone bit I feel it's manageable especially considering the protection you're getting. The belt clip is sturdy as well and doubles.as a stand. I recommend.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
and i thought i might have gone over board with my pictures few pages back...

and dont forget the otterbox is "Silver Speaker Mod" compatible!
[Captivate Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
It does indeed get some dirt and minor poptart specs inside during normal use and the fact that the front no longer has the screen protector intregrated. I usually take mine out out every 4 weeks or so and clean the random crap that builds up.

I will say that I put it on a shelf yesterday to carry some bags into the house. I accidently bumped the shelf and fell from about 6 feet up onto the tile floor. The fall somewhat disloged the plastic pieces that fit together but it did NOT crack it and 100% protected the phone. I was impressed. It indeed had excellent impact protection.
[Captivate Accessories] ou812bkewl:
I have had mine for a couple months now and it works great. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom buttons are a little bit blocked.
[Captivate Accessories] FeO2:
I am a field technician and am impressed with the durability so far.

Capacitive Buttons Partially Covered

I took the dremel to mine to carve away part of the plastic that covered the capacitive buttons. Works much better now.

I'm sure the same could be done to allow access to the headphone jack when in the holster...
[Captivate Accessories] or.saeros:
Hey just thought I'd report in. I'm a user who is swapping my battery out twice a day. The silicone case is holding up very well. I've been doing this now for about three weeks. No sign of any crazy stretching of the silicone at all.

Defender

I bought this case a month ago and sold it on Craigslist recently. I did like the case but the fact that I like to change batteries and sometimes take the sim/battery out to flash to stock it was too much effort to have to take the 3 separate peices off. The dealbreaker for me was the fact that the soft keys are slightly blocked. When I tried hitting the bottom four home buttons I would often hit one of my applications in the home bar instead. Its a little bulky for my liking but if I were to have an outdoor job or a job that required a lot of moving around I'd definitely keep the case as it provides a lot of protection. For now, I prefer my cheap rubber slim fit as the phone feels lighter/smaller and easier to take the battery out. Just my 2c
[Captivate Accessories] tiuk:
Just wanted to let you all know in case this happens to you:

My belt clip broke (hinges cracked, probably bumped the phone against something too many times). I emailed otterbox support and they shipped me a new one within a day. Would have arrived about a week later but there was a shipping mistake (tracking number indicated it was sent to colorado; I'm in canada). Emailed again, they apologized, got my delivery a few days later).

Interesting note, they shipped TWO packages. One contained a single holster, the other contained two. Not sure what happened (probably due to the shipping error), but now I'm going to make a car dock out of the one with the broken clip, and desk docks for home/work :)
[Captivate Accessories] jgrnght:
I absolutely hated my defender. It is like they rushed it through design without ever testing the functionality of the soft keys. It was a complete headache using the keys for about 3 weeks. I finally went back to my body glove nice slim case and couldn't be happier. Makes my friends Iphones looks like heffers.
[Captivate Accessories] kangi26:
I just bought the Defender case, and compared to the other 2 Otterbox cases, this one actually feels the best to me. I like the feel of the soft rubber, I get a better grip. I can't remember the name of the mid level case, but the plastic was a bit slippery to me.

I do agree that the bottom is too close to the soft keys. I just might dremmel it out a little. Although I really like the fact that it covers up the AT&T logo

[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
i like the defender, but only use it if im going to work or outside. at home no case, changing batteries, flashing, dont need it in the way and i have carpet!

the phone looks good without the case but i almost find it too thin, and too slippery, just doesnt feel right not touching the palm.

the defender adds the missing grip and feel of "yeah, its still there!"

and does what it says, DEFENDS IT.

i feel safe in my home though!
[Captivate Accessories] stinkynoon:
I've been really happy with my Defender case so far, though I agree that it took a while to get used to hitting the home keys a little differently as a result of them being covered a bit. I prefer the general "heft" my phone has now that it is in the case, and much prefer it to the ridiculously-light naked Captivate.

I work in an office, so I really don't need the degree of protection that this case offers, but I really like the belt clip and holster.

On a side note, I did drop the phone down a few stairs (temporary loss of motor control) and the device was completely fine.
[Captivate Accessories] wing851:
The Defender is now $30 including shipping on Amazon.
[Captivate Accessories] Fiin:
Newer to the forums but will also report in. I plow snow for a living in the winter with a fullsized tractor, it fell out of my jacket getting in and hit 2 stairs on the way down before hitting the ground with a Defender on. No damage what so ever.

I wouldnt use it if you swap batteries alot, since its a PITA to open, but if yer in a rougher work environment, its worth it.
[Captivate Accessories] kangi26:
For anyone using the Defender, I've found that one of the business card holders from Office Max makes the PERFECT desk top cradle. It was only $1.99.

I have had this case for about 3 months now, and I can tell you its worth it. Saved my phone a few times when dropped it on concrete.
[Captivate Accessories] darkdragone:
I got one a while back, I like how it make me feel like im not gonna break the phone anymore by holding it lol. However I find that with the screen protectors on or off dust collects in every little crevice. This in turn of course looks bad and is hell to clean, not to mention the dust covers the camera lens and the light censor giving it false readings. Also I had to modify mine because it was hard to get at the bottom buttons, sometimes when pressing home it would actually press search instead.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
you can remove the camera lens protector. it helps big time but allows water dust to get in, so its a personal choice... but fixes dust and focus issues with camera.

also use a different screen protector to fix smudging issues on the screen
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
Best thing for cleaning is those camera air blowers made out of rubber. Squeeze to dust. Simple and effective.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivman455:
Hi all,

Once again, I've hit a wall with my phone. I apologize ahead of time for the length of this post, but i want to be very clear about what happened so I can get it resolved as soon as possible. Also, I have searched for hours to find an answer to this problem, but I've failed to find anything that helps.

Earlier this week I was running Bionix Fusion 1.1 but with all the buzz on the forums about the new 2.2 ROMs I decided to try one. I downloaded Axura 2.0.5 and backed up everything with Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. I then went through ROM Manager to perform the install. This is were I fear I messed something up. I renamed the .zip file from StockKernelAXURA.zip to update.zip (just like when I installed Bionix). Booted into Clockwork (through ROM Manager) and flashed the zip. Everything looked fine during the install, but I'm stuck at the Vibrant load screen.

I found one solution that uses Odin to reflash back to factory, which I did and everything was great... but then I re-flashed and tried Axura 2.0.5 again using the same method. Now I can't boot up (still stuck on the Vibrant load screen) and I can't enter Download mode. I've tried all kinds of button and usb plug-in sequences. Nothing! Please, I know someone out there is thinking "Noob... this is a simple fix!" I'm hoping that person reads this and can lend a helping hand.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
This always works for me take out battery plug in usb to phone and computer hold down volume keys while holding the volume keys place the battery back in this should take you to download mode if it doesn't your phone may be hardware locked there are methods of making a device to force download mode but try what I said first then if that doesn't work at least you have an idea of what else to look for

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivman455:
It worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew there had to be a way I was missing! I'm flashing back to stock (again) and I'm going to try flashing Axura again... but seeing as the method I used has failed twice so far, any advise? I love how Team Whiskey provided detailed instructions for flashing Bionix Fusion... so shouldn't the same process work for different ROMs? Regardless, now I have another trick up my sleeve.

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
Flash it through clockwork in rom manager choose install from sd then go to where it is in your phone click on it that should send you to clockwork recovery then go to install.zip from sd then navigate to whatever folder its in then go to it, it should install you dont have to change the name

Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
So rather than start new thread I thought id continue on this one saying that I have the same problem only no matter what I do I can not force any mode at all. My phone is currently stuck stating that it is converting data partition to optimize for ext 4.

I really dont know what to do at this point.

I tried the following steps

1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.

2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).

3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.

4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.

5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.

6. You should be in Download Mode.

7. Unplug phone from USB

8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.

with no results. It doesnt even give my phone enough time to show the charging indicator it just automaticlaly boots.

OK i got it to go into download mode. i just plugged in the cord and held down the volume rocker.

Im having the same problem. I restored an old backup, then rebooted and now I cant get past the Vibrant load screen. No download mode, no recovery, nothing. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICosPhi:
You most likely made that backup when voodoo was disabled and now when you restored it, voodoo was enabled. Try booting up in recovery[VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER then let go of POWER and keep holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN] and installing a voodoo kernel like overstock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camdizzzle:
That may be what happened, but dont know anything about the history of the phone. I have tried over and over to get into recovery mode and it wont go past the Vibrant load screen :/

I am also stuck at the vibrant boot screen.

I was trying to update a rom via CWM on my phone, the phone restarted and is now stuck at the vibrant screen.

I have had trouble connecting my vibrant to the computer before. I am not sure that even if i get my phone into dl mode i might not be able to connect to ODIN.

Please help!!

Apparently, the official Youtube App for the Galaxy tab is missing on Belgian devices. Reason is a conflict between Sabam and google about certain copyrights.

Anyone here who knows how to fix this. My brain is not as advanced as most of the members here, but I guess that all I need is the appropriate youtube.apk file. Is this correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump. I'm curious if fancast can be used on the gtab. That might seal the deal for me.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Once I did the Adobe Flash Player hack (see below), Fancast.com videos started working for me. They are the same instructions for the Hulu flash player hack. After the change I still wasn't able to get Hulu working, but I read that others have.

These instructions assume you are using a Windows PC

The flash hack requires you to download a HEX editor. I used XVI32.

1. Using Root Explorer, copy your libflashplayer.so file from the gtab to your PC. The libflashplayer.so file is found in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib

2. Use a hex editor to search and locate the word AND (in UPPER case). AND will be by itself in the file. Skip when AND is included as part of a phrase (e.g. XXX_AND_XXX). It's found fairly far down the file. You'll know when you are there because AND will be listed right before the version of the Adobe Flash Player you are using (in my case, I'm using version 10.1.120.5). Once found, change AND to WIN for Windows. Then, save the change.

3. Copy the updated libflashplayer.so to your gtab in a temporary location.

4. Use Root Explorer to backup (copy) the original libflashplayer.so file to libflashplayer.bak You can do this in the same directory.

5. Replace the original libflashplayer.so (/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib) with the edited file. Update the permissions to the updated libflashplayer.so file to rwxr-xr-x

6. Reboot gtab.

That's an earlier version than the shipping ROM for those phones, isn't it ? The PC10IMG.zip file was posted here some weeks ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Thing is I couldn't find an .exe ruu for that newer version. This is all I could find.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
ok cool, just thought I'd check. Good work to find the RUU at least.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
what exactly does this RUU do ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Flashes the boot image/ROM/radio/recovery etc.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I think yours is the newest Asian ROM that we've heard of yet ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
guess so, that's the newest version I have seen so far on the Internet.

But I did root, S-Off and flashed Overclock modules before doing a system backup.

don't know that if I dump my ROM , will it still be same as the original
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
No, because of the changes you've made to it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Speaking of, I need the 1.34.707.5 RUU that came with my phone. This version is kinda sluggish. Slower than my desire. :( wish i didn't try to hack it without a ruu to fall back on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Might be worth asking HTC for one ? I don't see why they shouldn't give it to you. No harm in trying, anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Seriously? They give out RUUs? What do I tell them (not to arise suspicion) since the phone is on warranty.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I'm pretty sure that's where all the RUUs originate from. Maybe tell them your phone was acting kinda weird and you tried a "return to stock" but that wouldn't work, so you want to try flashing the ROM again to see if that helps rather than sending it back ?

You can open a support call via email on their website. You have to supply a serial number, so they probably won't ask too many questions and might even just give you an RUU.

Work asking, anyway ? Maybe someone else can think of a better story, that was just off the top of my head.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
I'm ****ed. Of course I didnt tell them I flashed an older ruu rom.Their reply is:

Thank you for contacting HTC. With reference to your query, we are sorry to inform you that the ROM on your unit is up to date and currently there is no RUU. If you would like, we can call you back when the upgrade is officially released, or if you prefer to check yourself, you can go to http:// www.htc.com/.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
ok, well it was worth a try. Is there something specific in that ROM that means you couldn't use give the standard European ROM a try ? e.g. particular Asian languages that you need ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Not really though I've been trying to make a goldcard through the goldcard app and failing miserably at it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
I have got an idea. Tell them you are running a old version(you get this phone from your friend, and you didn't know where it's from), like 1.34.4xx.x

and ask for 1.34.708.5 or newer

see how they reply

Hey man. I have the same version on my DZ. I did some searching to find an RUU for this version, but I haven't found one yet. I really want to flash ROMs and experiment, but I really need a RUU first so that if anything goes wrong, I can just flash back to original FW.

So in other words, I am still running on stock FW, haven't rooted as well. Maybe I can help by getting you a dump of my FW so you can flash. However, I have no idea on doing that without root permissions. Via adb i guess?

If you root, S-OFF and flash Clockwork Recovery then you can do a nandroid backup via Clockwork. That will let you put your phone back to that state (albeit rooted) after you flash any other ROM.
