Otterbox Alternative

If anyone is interested...I have a very similar case to the Otterbox. It is made by Case-Mate. I have had this for a few months because the OB was not available when I needed a case.

My case is a Tough Case by Case-Mate. Go to Case-mate and look for the Samsung Vibrant Tough Case

It's also a two piece case. One layer is soft silicone, then an ABS plastic for the outer layer. My case saves my Vibrant almost on a daily basis.

My only complaint. I wish the volume rocker/Power button protruded a bit further through the outer case. Otterbox seems to have the better case in this aspect. Otherwise, Case-Mate has a very solid case for the Vibrant.

hope this helps..

Got mine in. Have had it on for about a full day and im absolutely in love. This is a great case. I was a bit disappointed when I saw it was mostly just a silicon sleave with a snap on back cover made of more rigid kydex like piece. But once it was fully installed I was still impressed with its tight fit, nice looks, and seemingly high amount of protection.
[Vibrant Accessories] Mannymal:
Got mine, similar experience. At first I was a bit dissapointed because the top of the plastic sleeve did not seem to fall into place perfectly flush. But after a bit of bending it seems to have falling into place, now its all very snug. The phone should be near indestructible inside.
[Vibrant Accessories] ZombieDude00:
Install Method

Same thing here

I discovered the method should get it to work 1st time install for future users.

#1 Put on the silicon

#2 Don't put the rubber on the audio plug let it hang.

#3 install the plastic case from the bottom up (or whatever)

#4 thread the rubber piece for the audio plug through he top of the plastic and insert into the audio port.

Ordered Thursday (late afternoon even) appeared today Monday. From Colorado to California. No shipping confirmation like others have mentioned but they moved that product fast. There was a credit card confirmation though it took a day to appear.

Love the case and the New code tb0111m works for a 10% off.

I think my wife wants one but she loves her pick cheapo case.
[Vibrant Accessories] m3ta1head:
What are you guys doing to clean the silicon part of the case? It seems to catch dust and dirt very easily, and it can't be wiped down because whatever you use to wipe will leave residue...what's the best solution to easily clean it?
[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
I just got mine, and I love it. Really wish I had the patience to properly apply a screen protector, but I deatroyed it. Case has a great look and feel though.
[Vibrant Accessories] kawika:
got mine in! ordered on a sat got it on thurs. thought it was pretty quick turn around i live in cincinnati. like others have mentioned no shipping conformation but it came so quick i could hardly complain. i was also a little disappointed when i saw what it was made out of and at first wasnt sure how protected i felt about my phone. the case makes my phone feel soo much sleeker than my old body glove case. the body glove case was very bulky but the thickness made me feel the phone was really protected and i had dropped it before and never had issues with it coming apart as other body glove case owners have experienced. but after a few days of having the otterbox case i have to say im very happy with it. i do feel it will protect my phone in case of a drop being that it has the rubber skin something the body glove didnt have and in my mind allows for the case to be thinner which has started to grow on me. i love the feeling of the sleeker and smoother case the otterbox provides. i agree with some posts that the rubber does seem to get a little dirty with pocket lint but i simply take it apart and whack the rubber part on my pant leg or something and it mostly cleans off (another reason i loved my body glove belt holder = no pocket lint). other than that great buy if you can get it for the $20 some people are posting i'd say get it!
[Vibrant Accessories] TAP_GA:
Thanks for posting this. Mine fit like crap until I installed it per your instructions. It now fits much better.
[Vibrant Accessories] ZombieDude00:
np dude is here to help :)
[Vibrant Accessories] Mannymal:
5 days with the case. I absolutely love it. Only downside is the silicone holds dirt. The best part, other than the tight protection, is how well the buttons work.
[Vibrant Accessories] Lordjish:
Ordered from Amazon on Monday, received today! (about 20 bucks)

Impressed with case, sure beats the hell out of my gel protector & most recently my leather sleeve I had.

Seems to be made with good materials and was simple to assemble.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
For everyone wanting to clean it, I have had zero problems with both baby wipes or lysol wipes. I have twin 1.5 year olds and that's what everything gets cleaned with at some point.
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Can someone take picture of their vibrant with otterbox?
[Vibrant Accessories] Five0nIt:
there are pix a few pages back.
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
I know,but irs just a front. I was hoping if someone would make a comparison pics to other known case or like a coin or anything to see how thick it is.

:p
[Vibrant Accessories] SuperMiguel:
why is this case so expensive?
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Because they are branded+ high quality.
[Vibrant Accessories] woofiegrrl:
I'm a longtime OtterBox user, and honestly I'm disappointed in this case. The one I had on my Blackberry long ago was much sturdier. I realize this is commuter series, but I don't feel like my phone is well protected. It's great as cases go generally but I feel like it's missing the ability to get run over by a car.
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Commuter series are suppose to slick and provide good amount oof protection.

If you wanted the absoulte protection you should have went with impact or wait till defender series:-)
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Just ordered mine
[Vibrant Accessories] streetrider nick:
I just bought an otterbox commuter after using one of those dreaded trident cyclops cases since they came out and I have to say I love the commuter case!

This is the the best combination of slimness and protection I have found for the vibrant!

When I need more protection yet I will throw the phone in an otterbox 2000 series waterproof case and I am ready for anything!
[Vibrant Accessories] cody_04l:
Holster Replacement?

I love the Otterbox case on my Vibrant but wanted some type of clip and I came across the following...

Nite Ize Eclipse Self Locking Clip

So far I really like it. The quality of the clip is amazing. I've also attached a few pics of it installed so everyone can see.

What does everyone think?

Thanks,

Cody

Hi,

I have a question about exchange setup. Is a data plan with enterprise mandatory? or can we use it over wifi?

I am trying to setup my corporate exchange. I installed cerificates from email (after lot of searching) and initially it gave certificate error and i went my ie in laptop and pulled all certificates and installed. Now it just says 'there is a problem with the setup error code 85010004'. Please help.

I searched and could not find any more help anywhere.

Thanks & Regards,

Murty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ramrandhawa:
Maybe this is too simple, but you do need to reboot the phone after installing the certificates; have you tried that?

I have set up exchange activesync over wifi, and it works fine without a cellular plan.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raman_mogal:
Thanks for confirming for WiFi.i checked with exchange admin and they said I don't have access. I raised request and fingers crossed for now.
[Epic 4G General] maxhax2000:
I was recently able to finally get Froyo working on my phone, and i been playing around with a few roms. Well i notice that when u first install the rom. you got a choice between 3 different layout types. You also got the option to make 1 default. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to make that window pop up again. and let me choice a different layout again. also on that note, does it make the phone slower to not pick a default layout for the rom? or is it better to never make one "default"?
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
If your refering to what launcher your using, such as twlauncher, launcherpro, or adw, etc... then you need to clear the defaults for the one your currently using. You can do this easily by downloading Home Switcher from the market (make sure you grab the one for froyo), then hit the clear default button on the bottom. The next time you hit the home key, you will have the ability to set a different one as default.

It doesnt make it slower not choosing a default, just more of a hassle choosing which launcher you want each time you hit the home key.
[Epic 4G General] maxhax2000:
Ah cool "mucho gracias sinor" <mexican voice> i cannot say enuff how nice every1 and this site is:) thnx! I'm finally starting to get the hang of this stuff. hehe
[Epic 4G General] sprice5:
Or you can find your default launcher in the 'manage applications' under settings and clear the default so the next time you hit your home key you'll have the prompt to choose a launcher.

Mr orannge he actually bought it off craigslist list from a guy who turned out to be a t mobile employee and it was his personal phone so I doubt its stolen.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alnospam:
I have been trying to get my hd2 running android to get to planet3 when using my 3 connection. I can browse the internet but if I try to navigate to the planet3 page i get a message saying that I am outside the 3 network, which I am clearly not. My apn settings seems the standard one having had a good look on the web. if i run winmo i have no problems.

Is 3 banning my phone because I co running android and cannot identify the phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
I've installed MDJ FroYo HD v.4.4. Generally I'm very happy with it (my first attempt at using Android on my HD2). However, I discovered that the "Sound Enhancer" doesn't work in the music player. Is there ANY version that has this feature working? In reading some comments, the implication is that because the HD2 is different than the Desire this feature will not work.

Thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] caseyman4285:
download power AMP from the market it comes with every sound adjustment you could dream of.

hopefully that helps.

[Desire General] Jwalhane:
I was playing with my phone the other day and the home button and the search buttons suddenly stopped working. Totally out of the blue.

I have tried different ROMs, and they started working again for an hour or so and then stopped again. The keytest in recovery registers the key presses.

What do you think may be wrong?
[Desire General] 3722:
It's probably hardware, there have been other reports of buttons that stop functioning, run a search and you'll find them.

Repair is the only solution I guess.
[Desire General] Jwalhane:
I doubt its hardware, I tried setting the volume up button to the hone function with an app, but that does nothing either.
[Desire General] 3722:
I hope it's not hardware too but this kind of complaint isn't the first

...and others.

Can you access the *#*#3424#*#* test menu. If you can run the button test.

Another think you may try, is booting in safe mode to check if they would work then.
[Desire General] mercianary:
If you cant get it working take a look at this.

Edit: This app has just been released on the market, search for 'button savior'.

The app was made for the HD2 but is working fully on my desire running cyanogenmod, haven't tried any other roms.

I hope you get it working and don't need it though:)
[Desire General] Jwalhane:
Some success, I installed CM 6.1 and had my home and search buttons back. THEN, I restored a bunch of apps with titanium backup, I soon restarted my phone and bam, buttons no longer function on the reboot.

My problems don't seem to be the same as the above links, keytest in recovery has no problems with the buttons, they have not been playing up over a long period of time, and they are not erratic. They either work or they do not.

I suppose I should uninstall apps till I find the culprit?
[Desire General] 3722:
I can't think of a better fix than that, might take a while but at least you should be with a fully functioning phone in the end

Probably it's better to first install the quality apps that you know are not causing the issue, and then install one by one apps that are from not so renowned devs.

Hey there,

I just recieved my CoPilot update today. As a christmas-gift they give out a maps-update for free. The new version of the software includes several improvements, e.g. setting contacts as destinations is now possible.

Just wanted to let you know. I'm so happy that I'm away from Navigon! THIS is what I call customer-care. :)

Bye.

which version is this?

It is version 8.2.0.406.

Anyone have problems connecting to the Copilot server since the upgrade? I can't connect to redownload the map or check for updates.

Same issue here, I can't download the European maps, and since I re-installed my phone, I have no maps at all.

I've since been able to communicate with the Copilot server and downloaded my map, but afterwards still get errors now and then about no connection.

Could be traffic overload due to everyone trying to do the same after the update.

[Captivate General] Several Zombies:
So I rooted my new Captivate (Rogers, I896) using this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827544

Everything worked perfectly, and the Superuser Access icon appeared in the app drawer. Unfortunately, no programs can gain superuser access. ROM Manager keeps giving me an error when I try to do anything (flash recovery, fix permissions etc) and doesn't show up on the list of 'Superuser' programs. I haven't gotten any prompts to allow access, either, so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas, XDA?

EDIT: Scratch that. Re-rooted with z4 and its working fine.

Ok heres the back story. I have been reading a lot on Android development and wanted to try.

I read the post by CM that said start with simple apps first. So thats what I did, I happened to find a source code for a camera application. Now that I have that I tried to run a make command and get the following errors

roid.mk: line 1: call: command not found

./Android.mk: line 1: LOCAL_PATH:=: command not found

./Android.mk: line 2: CLEAR_VARS: command not found

I'm a little confused at this point.

I am pretty familial with Linux ; thats all I run, and never ran into this problem; matter of fact I'm in school for linu/unix scripting and programming I'm also going to take C++ too.

so the point of trying this out was to get familial with developing, if anyone can give some insight that would be great. I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand ,but just to help maybe point me in the right direction with some clearer directions then the android open source provides.

Thank you and sorry if this is a dumb question

Long story short.

Phone is broken, wont let me revert to stock, So I have no warranty.

I need it fixed, but dont have any money.

So I need to find a way to make the phone never turn on again, without warrenty voiding damage. That way they I can act all dumb on the phone 'Ohh it wont turn on at all! I just woke up this morning and it was like that! :(:(:('

Is it possible?! Im thinking microwave?

(sorry, I just realised the general section was probably better :( feel free to help anyway though!)
[Off-topic] AdrianK:
Your phone? I hear there are lots of different phones, and apparently they all work differently... *hint, hint*

EDIT: A microwave?! "So yeah, I woke up this morning, and my phone was on fire" *gestures to charred lump of plastic*
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
when you say "so no warrenty"?

do you have a warranty?

if so just take it back and act like you did nothing wrong:)
[Off-topic] kml.krk:
Microwave sounds interesting ;) just make sure you dont damage your microwave. You would be stuck with no phone and no food...
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
If its android remove / :D (Everything :p)

I think this can be acomplished by in terminal use

su

rm /

It should remove every thing and your phone will break :p I'd test it but... :rolleyes::D

Or use adb :D
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
If you can get into recovery you can erase everything there.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Yeah.. but it still has a custom recovery then :D They'd be able to tell it's been played with ;)
[Off-topic] lonelykatana:
Care to explain a little more? :p

I was thinking a microwave, because it will blow resistors fairly easily, without leaving much of a mark! Only for a few seconds of course!

I do have warranty.

But the phone has HSPL on it. Which I cant get rid of because its broken!

They will more than likely check to see if its still stock at the repair centre, see the hack and refuse to fix it :/

So I bought a Droid X recently and rooted it using the z4root app. My next step would be to install Clockwork Recovery so I can backup my phone and start getting rid of some of the bloatware. My question is, if something happens to the phone and I need to send it in for replacement/repair. Does flashing the stock SBF completely restore the phone to factory original? Including the replacement of the Clockwork recovery with the stock bootloader.

Forgive me if this has been answered already, I wasn't able to find anything with the search function.

In my experience, yes. You will have to re-root and reinstall clockwork.
