Thank goodness. I've given up applying screen protector after I failed once.. I don't know. I just can't do it anymore ever since then.. although I've been doing it for myself for 5-6 years with no problem.
[Nexus S Accessories] tekkitan:
I have it, it is anything buy cheap and ugly. I am completely satisfied with it.
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
I had the seidio case for my Epic and it wasn't bad. I'd like an otterbox but not the defender.

[Nexus S Accessories] mylexon20s:
Not trying to insult it, but when I compare "looks" alone, I personally prefer the Otterbox. It does have a better price point at $29.99 compared to the $49.99 defender.
[Nexus S Accessories] tekkitan:
I looked at the Otterbox reviews for a couple of the other phones and quite a few people were complaining about the screen protector part. That and the time Otterbox is taking to release the case really turned me off on it. I am not sure why people don't like the look of the Seidio case. Comparing it to the other Defender cases, it doesn't look a whole lot different besides the texture on the back.
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
So I just went to Otterbox's website and they already have cases for the Atrix.

http://www.otterbox.com/motorola-atrix-cases/motorola-atrix-cases,default,sc.html

:( kind of disappointing that they're able to get cases out for phones that JUST came out and cant get one out for a phone thats been out for two months+
[Nexus S Accessories] kyleds:
Jerks
[Nexus S Accessories] Itachi850:
Thinking about not buying a case from otterbox, seeing that they found time to sale atrix cases first. That's bs and atrix got all three option cases.
[Nexus S Accessories] Vulpix:
They have no excuse really. Nexus S was a phone that was released first on American soil, and usually they use that excuse for not releasing cases for phones that are available globally.
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
I suspect their prioritization has a lot to do with how many cases they expect to sell. As much as we may love the Nexus S, it's still not very widely-adopted in the consumer market. Thus the expected return on investment in accessories, cases, etcetera is lower. These things cost money to design and manufacture; if their market research doesn't indicate they're going to sell enough to make a solid profit, they're a lot less likely to put money into them.
[Nexus S Accessories] pksen88:
This. No need to be so sensitive. It's strictly business.
[Nexus S Accessories] thanox2:
Be happy that they are making the cases :)
[Nexus S Accessories] kyleds:
Hurry up otterbox!

You've been coming soon for a while already.
[Nexus S Accessories] B3arfruit:
Any word yet

believer's b3arfruit from their Nexus S
[Nexus S Accessories] Vandam500:
I doubt it. When the Nexus One was released it was one of a kind in nearly every category. With the Nexus S it fell into a really crowded market and didn't bring that many new things to the market like the N1.
[Nexus S Accessories] jakerzi:
I bet they've sold atleast a few hundred thousand.
[Nexus S Accessories] vapor311:

bah they got me...posted it but says coming soon......bastiches
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
As of 28-Mar-11 it says Availability: Coming Soon
[Nexus S Accessories] johnkim0011:
It has been coming soon for almost a month already... I can't wait.
[Nexus S Accessories] thebowers131:
Ive never used a otterbox case before its between that and ghost armor.

i just want some grip to the phone
[Nexus S Accessories] x4-FAo:
Well i have ghost armor but you still need a case just in case of a bad drop.
[Nexus S Accessories] johnkim0011:
Yep, Ghost Armor is full body screen protectors. Otterbox is a case.
[Nexus S Accessories] Five0nIt:
yea i waited about a month and a half for the Vibrant Otter.. I hope this one comes soon.
[Nexus S Accessories] johnkim0011:
If I plan to get an Otterbox, I shouldn't really need a back screen protector, do I?
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
For me, I still want to apply the "skin", in order to prevent the scratches that may be caused by the case :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Accessories] MarkusPO:
ok, some news re: the otterbox defender.

it will not have a cover over the camera lens unlike all the other defenders that i know of. the designers were not able to design the case so that a transparent screen could be placed over just the camera lens because the flash is so close to the camera. so, if you drop your phone back down on gravel or rocky texture, be prepared to have a scratched / cracked camera lens. totally defeats the purpose of a defender imo.

as the samoled and slcd are two different thicknesses, it's not clear which the case is actually designed for.

it's also not clear if nfc will work through the case. probably not actually.
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
I bet all my money (not literally), that it'll first be made for the i9020 because it's been out longer and there R&D people had more time to design it for that model. Although, they could possibly release the i9023 version at the same time since it's only different on one dimension.

Wait, according to GSMarena, both the 9020 and 9023 have the same dimensions, is that even right? I thought it was a bit different (or was that the 4G version?)? If that's right, then I cannot see why this case wouldn't work for the 9023.

[Nexus S Accessories] tkgod:
This sucks. Guess I'm going to have to look for another tough case for my Nexus S. Why is it companies always seems to abandon the Nexus series like a bastard child?
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
Its possible due to the Nexus S has a really unique design being contour.
[Nexus S Accessories] mylexon20s:
I am definitely not happy about this. I got the same email about 20 minutes ago. I can understand why they wouldn't make it, probably didn't think they would sell enough. Not to the volume of the iPhone sales. However to just not make it at all is rediculous.
[Nexus S Accessories] IcOpRo:
I got the same email and it really sucks that they are doing that. I was really waiting for that case now I don't know what to get.
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
Look at the videos Ploone has been producing. They will help on making your decision, I'm personally using the Case-Mate Pop.

The Trident case looked similar to the Otterbox Defender
[Nexus S Accessories] SomethingMore:
What a load of BS. They kept reassuring people as little as two weeks ago, that the case was right around the corner. Now it's canceled? Forever?

The phone is available in 28 countries, but that's not enough for OtterBox to accept a delay? They just give up entirely? After four months of production?
[Nexus S Accessories] Itachi850:
I was gonna post about this as soon as I got out of my car. I'm starting to get pissed at all of the non support of the Nexus s. Otterbox was my last hope only because I wanted a tough case with a clip.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ploone:
Big disappointment guys, my contact over there said this:

"I hope that it won’t be till may for the Nexus S either, I will be sure to keep you updated!"

That was yesterday, lol. I'm going to beg them to see if I can get my hands on a prototype...
[Nexus S Accessories] jivemaster:
I got the same email too...

It's worded almost like they believe if they can't get it to market in a reasonable time, they wont get it to market at all.

If that is the case, that's crazy, because literally the Nexus S is about to explode into the market in one way or another due to a whole bunch of carriers across the world picking up the phone - including Vodafone. Not to mention AT&T and Sprint getting a version.

This seems crazy. They have cases for far more obscure phones.

The Nexus One didn't sell all that well and it has all 3 kinds of otterbox case! I thought one type of Nexus S was a bit rough, but I was still happy with it, and now there's none!

It's just very disappointing. I don't know what to believe anymore lol
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
Haha, the good thing is I was tired of waiting and just bought an SGP Ultra Silke a couple of days ago -- now it's gonna stick with me for a loooooong time :p
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
Like I said, it's probably because of the Nexus S' unique design of being contour.

The included screen protector on the case would have to be contour as well for it to fully work.

Not impossible, but Otterbox just took the easy way out by quitting.
[Nexus S Accessories] IcOpRo:
Thanks, im reading up on it ...
[Nexus S Accessories] Ploone:
Thanks for the referral zep :)

If you need any help or questions, feel free to ask, I've got a lot of videos on my channel and more to come.
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
It's not a problem, they're good videos for people to make a decision whether or not it's worth to get that particular case.
[Nexus S Accessories] kyleds:
this bites big time. that was the best looking case imho.... damn you otterbox! never buying from you again.
[Nexus S Accessories] brenix:
This is to bad... I really had my eyes set on one of these... Most of the other cases in my opinion look ugly... Anyone have anything similar to the otterbox case?
[Nexus S Accessories] zephiK:
The Trident case looks similar to it. Ploone did a video review of it. Check it out.

I'm personally using the case mate pop case
[Nexus S Accessories] kelticknight:
is there another case like otter with belt clip
[Nexus S Accessories] gotjazz:
hrm guess a soft pouch will have to suffice - no putting the phone out of my pocket in bars then. more gentleman-like anyway :D
[Nexus S Accessories] tekkitan:
Reading these replies I am glad I went with the Siedio case instead of waiting for the Otterbox.
[Nexus S Accessories] MarkusPO:
edit: old news. did otterbox say why they withdrew it?
[Nexus S Accessories] tekkitan:
I'm just guessing but, most likely due to complaints like the ones in this thread about them half-assing it :)
[Nexus S Accessories] romdroid:
according to their twitter account:

"We had issues in dev & multiple revisions and weren't coming up w/option that met our high standards. At this point we wouldn't be able to release option in timely basis"
[Nexus S Accessories] freebirds87:
For those of you who are still wondering why there won't be an otterbox for the Nexus S, I have the answer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLqMeh7CTuU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

After watching this video I came to the realization that the people of Otterbox smoke a lot of pot. Now I'm not here to down pot or those who choose to smoke it but I think we can all agree that when you do smoke it, things seem to just move a lot slower than normal. Thus, the reason it takes three years to even get a picture of the damn case on their site.

Favorite quote from the video: "Poly Carbonate is ummmm durable"
[Nexus S Accessories] Random Select:
Nah you just went with the "pot" route because you're mad that they didn't make a case for the Nexus S.

Them not making the case doesn't take away the fact they make good products.
[Nexus S Accessories] freebirds87:
Why would I care about that? I don't have a Nexus...

Hi!

Two days ago I make a nandroid backup before flashing a .zip but this nandroid doesn't work. It says something like: "execute ...recovery.sh"

So, how can I check if the nandroid backup is well done?

Thanks!

You should search for that error, this has been discussed at length. The backup is fine, search for solutions to the problem.
[Off-topic] KarlosTheJackal:
Hey I just received a spam PM & thought well ill ignore it but thought it might be best to contact a Mod/Admin about it just in-case but I'm not sure of how or who i should contact.

Don't really want post it in public in a topic as i don't feel that's the right thing to do.

So my question is who do I contact & how is best?
[Off-topic] M_T_M:
What is it about? :confused:
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Hit the report button on the PM :) A report will then be sent to the mods and they cann see it :D
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
Hit the triangle in the upper right, and pop in a message and link to this thread if you want. There's a few of us online just now :)
[Off-topic] KarlosTheJackal:
I've reported it & also PM'ed the GM who contacted me about it :-)

It was nothing bad really, it was more asking for my details & I just thought I should let someone high up know that there is a user trying to get people details off them.
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
Its after midnight here so can't sort myself, but I have flagged up your report to be looked at.

Certainly don’t reply or give details etc (well, duh) ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
Since the issue was brought up in this thread, I decided to modify the necessary file to make this change happen for a bunch of themes that are available here.

Theme creators, feel free to uses the updated files in your respective themes if you feel users would appreciate this change. I'll also take down the file(s) if you wish as well.

The change will make it so that pressing the menu button while on the unlock screen will not unlock the phone. By default, this seems to happen. All files are for DJ05 and DJ05 themes. If you have a request for this for the theme/rom you are using, feel free to post here and I'll do my best to create an updated file for you.

The files are all CWM flashable zip files. Be aware that after applying the change, the first reboot will take significantly longer than normal, but subsequent restarts should be normal. As always, be sure to make a backup before applying this just in case. I have not tested all of these, but the same change was made to all files for each theme. Please post back with any issues.

Available Files

Stock DJ05

Gingerbread Grey theme

Gingerbread Black theme

AOSP Theme

Darkstart Theme

Incognito Remix Theme

Matted Blues Theme

NexTheme

SuperDark Theme

DOWNLOAD HERE

If you wish to perform this change yourself, you will to download the baksmali.jar and smali.jar files from here and then use the following steps to perform the change (adapted from this post)

1. Use adb to pull out /system/framework/android.policy.jar

2. Type the following command

java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o android.policy

3. Open LockScreen.smali and find the .method shouldEnableMenuKey()

4. Change "return v4" so it reads "return v6"

5. Save LockScreen.smali

6. Use the following command to compile the changes back

java -jar smali.jar android.policy -o classes.dex

7. Copy the newly made file classes.dex into android.policy.jar

8. Push the file to /sdcard

10. On your phone, do:

$ su
# cd /sdcard
# cp android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
# sync
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dricacho:
Thank you so much for doing this!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jamesbdh:
Does this work for other lock screens that can be dled from the market?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
I have no idea. If the lockscreen changes the file /system/framework/android.policy.jar then odds are, applying any of these updates will break the market lockscreen. It all depends on how they make the change.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chopper the dog:
Good work. Does there happen to be an option buried in there that will enable vibrate instead of sound off?

good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
I never even thought of looking for that. Thanks for the idea, I'll look into it and see if it can be done :)

questions about editing framework-res

These look great, thanks for posting!

I have a few questions for you though. Since it seems you have a handle on this sort of thing, what is your method for editing the framework-res.apk?

Is it as simple as opening the apk in 7zip and dropping edited pngs in? or do you use apk manager to decompile/recompile? Also, what method do you use to edit the .9.pngs? (draw9patch?) I'd love to contribute, but I can't seem to theme the cm 6.1 framework-res.apk.

Once again, thank you kindly for your themes.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Ganii:
At this Port no need to edit .9 pngs!

Only edited the apk`s and dropped the new png`s!

Then signed the apk`s again!

[Android Apps and Games] talktoanil:
All i can say about current 1.5 update is CRAP..total crap.

I am using Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo 2.2. Here is the bug list.

1. Login to FB from PC and open chat. Now click on "Go Offline". Now open FB app on phone and open CHAT section. Your friend list will not load even after waiting for 30 min on a 1 mbps wifi connection.

2. CHAT UI is simply crap. Now we have 3 groupings , "Active Conversations" , "Available" and "Idle". We don't need grouping at all simply show a single list with GREEN color on right for Active(not idle) and Orange for Inactive like we have in Gtalk for Android.

Also , if we are chatting with any friend , Just make same UI change in the Single Main list to indicate it ass Active chat.

In-short, just mimic what Gtalk for Andorid app does. Keep It Simple Guys.

3. CHAT is not working and need proper testing. try this.

Login to FB from PC , start Chat. Now hit "Go Offline". next, open FB app in mobile and enter chat section, Your Chat friend list will never ever load friends. it will simply show "Loading......"

4. Sound notification for Chat is not working. I am 200% sure that i have set a tone to notify me of incoming chat.

5. When i enter FB app on Phone , give is option to auto-login to chat or not. and notify us about same.

6. if we enter chat and return to home screen, i get logged out. WTF is this ? I am supposed to be logged in chat.

7. PUSH notifications : All i can say is "WTF" !!!!!

Reason: PUSH on iPhone and BB is REAL INSTANT. And if its TRUE Push , why do we see "Refresh Interval" option in Settings section ? If its PURE PUSH , we don't need this at all. If its for those running OS < 2.2 then fine.. However , if i choose ""Refresh Interval" at xx hours and set "Notifications to Active" and ticked all below options , I am still not receiving any PUSH notifications when i am on home screen. However when i enter the app , i get it. Is this you call PUSH ?

Dear Facebook, Go and test your app before you release it to the masses.
[Android Apps and Games] eatonjb:
I turned off refresh interval to none, and turned off all notifications ticks, but left "notification" ticked, and it seems to push almost instantly.

as far as checking on battery drain. that is to be determined since i tinker with roms, apps and other stuff a lot!

but so far the push part works on 2.2..

but the app is still millions of years behind the iFail. come on FB dont you know that more people are useing Android then then IOS.
[Android Apps and Games] talktoanil:
a friend using HTC DESIRE and all is working at his end..which phone you use ?

I guess its problem with all Samsung users
[Android Apps and Games] eatonjb:
I am useing a Samsung Captivate with a 2.2 rom installed

[ROM]Perception Build 8 (CogKernel2, Voodoo5, 1280Mhz OC/UV, tons of tweaks)

[Android Apps and Games] chewy106:
No push here (T-Mobile G2, stock with BaconBits kernel). Googling was no help, seems like a crapshoot if you get push correctly or not.
