Which one is the best? Please let me know I don't know which one to buy for my Droid X. Also if you know of any heavy protection cases for it just comment below...
[Droid X Accessories] smyers1012:
can someone plz answer this haha i really wanna know i think its between the seidio rugged and the otterbox defender in my opinion but plz help me out which do you guys think would be the best heavy protection case?
[Droid X Accessories] hurld:
I have both the seidio, and the otterbox. The Otterbox wins at everything but Seidio has the better holster.
[Droid X Accessories] droidizzle:
I ordered the Trident to replace my Rugged. The Trident is better in my opinion. The rubber on the rugged wore out within a month. The trident also seemed to be thinner and molded to fit my hand better. I almost got the Otterbox, but I am glad I ordered the Trident instead.

As far as protection goes, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the three as all are built like tanks.
[Droid X Accessories] chrisfjr83:
I have the Seido one and I have loved it. I love it has a piece of rubber to cover over the camera so that nothing can scratch it. I have been debating about getting the Otterbox but dont really now if I want to or not
[Droid X Accessories] artex101:
I work heavy construction (demo of fire damaged houses) and I roll up my sleeves and get in there with my guys on a daily basis. Needles to say; the case gets a BEATING. The case is on my tool belt at all times, the phone does get answered whenever it rings; my gloves usually have foreign matter that should not be allowed within 10 feet of anything electronic. 90% of my guys have Androids and we use Tikl alot as well. We had a number of "rugged" cases come and go, but Otterbox is the winner.
[Droid X Accessories] justnada22:
I have had my hands on all three and nothing beats the $14.99 Dual Layer Vertex Case I found @ Techie Warehouse. I would definitely recommend googling this. Have you ever taken a good look at the Seidio Innocases... they are molded with cheap plastic and when you drop your Droid X with the Innocase the two piece snap on just comes apart half the time so you end up with a minor scuff.
[Droid X Accessories] zwade01:
I haven't used Seidio or Trident, but I own the Otterbox Defender. A regular $50, you can find it for $35 shipped on eBay. I'm definitely happy and don't have anything bad to say about it.

It has rubber flaps to cover all plug openings and they fit snug, all buttons are covered and pressable through the rubber, and the screen sets in about 1/8" so if it sits on its face it is not sitting directly on the screen. There is also a built-in screen protector. The camera also sets in so there is no resting the phone on the camera. I particularly like the holster because you can place the phone in any of 4 directions and it snaps in perfectly: screen out - either direction, screen in - either direction. The case is easily removable if you need to get to the inside quickly, such as the battery or sd card.

It was basically the best $35 I've spent on an accessory for my X (with the 5000mAh portable charger being a close second XD ) and I definitely don't feel like I have to handle it with extra care anymore.
[Droid X Accessories] Casen:
The Kracken has all ports covered, along with all speaker holes.

The Kraken is pretty much like the old otterboxes with covered the camera with a clear skin, along with pieces of fabric covering all speaker-,mic holes. The Otterbox for the DX does NOT have those, which makes it not completely dustproof.

And as for the guy complaining about the plastic Innocase coming apart on the Seido when you drop it..... It was designed that way. It spreads the impact of your clumsy drop away from the much more expensive phone, and towards the cheap replaceable case. Think of it like a crumple zone in a car. Its meant to protect the insides of the phone, not keep it pretty.
[Droid X Accessories] rustymcbain:
Any seen a dock that fits these cases? I know there have been some handbuilt. Seidio has usually made a dock that fits their cases. But I have yet to see this.

SPL 3.03. You need to use the GoldCard method - have a search in the ROM section for insructions.

[Captivate General] monster21:
I just got mine last night, the total was $76.83 after I turned in my old Fuze. So I think the $300 savings was worth the early christmas gift to myself. The sale is only until thursday though. They have the same deal for various other Android powered phones, but only through Target stores. Get on it!
[Captivate General] icepop:
Yup, in fact I see it now listed for free with a new contract.
[Captivate General] bames:
radio shack has them for $49 right now as well.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Amazon has it for a penny - http://wireless.amazon.com/Samsung-Captivate-Android-Phone-AT/dp/B003TLMQG8

I took a print out of the page and took it to my local ATT wireless store and they price matched it. Also gave me free activations.
[Captivate General] psai:
I got mine from Radioshack for free on Black Friday :)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I tried that and they refused. It was a local corporate store, too.:mad:
[Captivate General] icepop:
Got my wife one on this deal too. I keep her's running stock 2.1 rooted, gives me device to use to get to the market when my 2.2 Cappy can't find an app.
[Captivate General] denco7:
Got mine yesterday, free activation, gave them $49.99 cash, I now have a new captivate.

Will never moth ball my Tilt though.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Just called Radio Shack and they are giving me a refund of the difference for the Cappy I bought last week for $99 when Amazon Wireless totally screwed up their chance to sell me a phone. That's good customer service!
[Captivate General] Sqdnguns:
Same here..........f00kers
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Really? That sucks. Sorry to hear that. The manager at my local corporate store was very accommodating.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Yeah, it makes no sense that I can buy the phone cheaper from Amazon or Radio Shack rather than directly from AT$T. You'd think that since they ultimately have to deal with any service issues that they'd prefer to have been the one to have sold the phone to the customer instead of a 3rd party.
[Captivate General] bigsmitty64:
same here!, still 49.95 is a steal!
[Captivate General] the1star4u:
sorry probably in the wrong place but... total noob question... if your phone is rooted you cant access the market???
[Captivate General] Gurgs:
False...rooted phones see the market just like uprooted phones, better actually if you are on certain roms.
[Click General] mannas:
I have a tattoo and I am very pissed with the fact that the tattoo doesn't have been official updated with froyo so I am thinking about buying a new phone. the problem is which one Lg P500 or ZTE Blade.

sry for my bad english
[Click General] zurpher:
No ZTE Blade in Europe has an official Froyo running but I read that the Greek users should get an update in 2011.

Both phones seem quite similar. The LG P500 has a slightly better battery and resolution.

So what are your priorities?
[Click General] mannas:
I bought the zte blade because it has more dev support than the lg p500 and because of its higher resolution 480x800. the battery doesn't last for more than a day since that play a lot with it
[Click General] judgment:
LG P500 seems to be a good android 2.2 phone :)
[Click General] igrek00:
I'm for ZTE because of it's graphic accelerator (Adreno 200, actually don't know what it means, but seems better than nothing). And it's running cyanogen that a far more great advantage.
[Captivate General] wmwilker:
Got a text this morning stating an update was coming from ATT.

Is this Froyo or just a GPS fix?

Nope 99.999999% sure its still JH7 OTA
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That will be too nice of AT&T. No, you only get such notification TWO months AFTER the update has been pushed out. In this case, it is the old JH7 update.
[Captivate General] wmwilker:
Doesn't matter anyway, I'm running Doc's V6.1 2.2.1 JPY
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
I've been seeing this same topic repeatedly being brought up more so since the Nexus S came out. I figured I'd make an attempt and try to talk to someone semi official about it. See below:
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Well, at least that chat seems to put paid to the idea we'll be getting 2.2 in 2010.
[Captivate General] dwanhala:
I also recieved 3 texts this morning about this, but my phone cannot connect to ATT servers so I called them to ask what this was all about. I'm on the newest JH7 as I just got this as a replacement phone a few weeks ago. I kept this new phone unrooted and unmodified for the moment to see if any new OTA's would load to my phone as I had issues with the OTA for JH7, I believe that I used DG's update.zip on the old phone to get it. Anyway, I told the tech at ATT what version that I was running and if they were really trying to push a new update out. He stated that it is a new update and the reason that I can't connect to the servers is that they are probably overloaded now with others trying to download it. I also asked if it is the 2.2.1 update and he said that he believes so, but no definitive answer as of yet. And yes, I'm also sick of a new thread about a possible update every day, so that's why I called ATT and figured that I'd share what I found out with our community. I just hope that the tech is correct in assuming that it is 2.2.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
No, he's not. I just checked with Kies and the update is still the one rolled out back in September. Nothing to see here. Carry on.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
OMG, you believe a tech that says " he believes so". :rolleyes:

When the push comes down, i'm still betting on St. Patrick's Day, you'll know about it. It'll be all over the internet.
[Captivate General] dwanhala:
Yep, I'm an idiot.............trusted ATT, didn't want to fall in to that trap. Worst part is, that I should've know better, I've even followed the numerous other posts. Anyway, this afternoon I chatted to another rep and I guess that they were trying to push the JH7 update to my phone even though it came to me preloaded, which makes complete sense:confused:
[Captivate General] david717:
The second rep stated it wouldn't be available until next year....
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Don't feel bad guy's, Roger's official stance is sometime in the first half of next year. You got it lucky.:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] newter55:
Perhaps Rogers is just being more honest/realistic......I wouldn't be shocked if we don't see it for quite a while either.
[Captivate General] 40Love:
Never have got a text message about updates but I did get a email from Samsung to advise me the Media Hub is coming soon!
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
You clearly didn't see the debacle that was the Canadian Captivate launch. Bell and Roger's both announced their SGS phones around the beginning of August, Bell had theirs out in a week, Roger's said within the month. No one got their phone until November.:rolleyes: I don't remotely trust anything they say, and besides, they said this before their phone even came out.
[Captivate General] bames:
amazed that people (that frequent XDA forums now less) would be so heartbroken about lack of official froyo.

sure i will probably take the official release for a spin when it gets here but i am guessing it won't last more than 24-48 hours before i re-flash a custom 2.2 or custom gingerbread which may here before official 2.2.

There have been multiple quality roms froyo roms available for months...and most of them i am betting offer more in the way of speed and in many cases stability than the official bloated version will.

Why not stop opining and learn how to put your phone to its full potential?

(I know some will say they don't want to void there warranty and shouldn't have to.....that latter of which i agree with.....but if your afraid of rooting and flashing why would you be @ XDA?)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I get kinda tired of seeing this same response in here. There's a lot more to this place than just ROM flashing and rooting. I have found a ton of info, mods, apps and upgrades in here for my Incite, Tilt 2 and now my Captivate and have never flashed a ROM on either of them. There is so much more to XDA than just cooked ROMs and insisting otherwise is just ignorant.
[Captivate General] bames:
When you rule out modes that require a rooted device....probably 90% of whats posted in the forum involves a process that "voids" your warranty.

If someone wants froyo so badly they should install it. It is available to them and is faster and as or more stable than the stock 2.1 releases (+ most of them have improved gps performance).

The same people who post day in day out their need and want for froyo will move on to do the same thing about gingerbread within 24 hours of having their official froyo while most of the visitors here will already be running gingerbread courtesy of the rich development community @ XDA.

Do i think its stupid that it takes them so long to push and official release....yep...but it seems to be an issue that has been a problem more for android as a whole than for just samsung or att. The same thing that make android great the open nature and a variety of handsets is the same thing that hinders prompt updating of new firmware. I see it being the biggest thing that could hurt android in the long run. I think it also one of the reasons we have a much weaker selection of high-end games for android devices. The gaming potential of the galaxy s line-up is much greater than the iphone but developers seem hesitant go all in to develop for the platform.
[Captivate General] thabeast:
The late releases are going to plague any developer they always have and always will. All we can do is hope its a quality one so we don't have to downgrade till they fix the new bugs. Galaxy s is a fairly new line compared to the iPhone and while superior its going to take a while for big game developers to get there feet wet. They haven't had as much time support or desire to try something new when they have there old faithfuls. I do think android is a lot better that iPhone speaking from experience on all platforms but there is pros and cons coming from development and Apps on both sides.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Well.....i have not been on stock since twenty for hours of having the phone and have no desire to go back even after an official release. The point is that it would be nice to have it so source for the captivate 2.2 would be released.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
And Again with the Update text:eek:. I swear I wish ATT would push this out all ready so we could stop seeing these threads every day.

Look When the update does come out it will be like the Iphone 4, behind the curve. If you are waiting for it then by all means Please wait But most on these threads may load it up but will only keep it for a matter of min when it is found that the 2.3 port is more stable then anything ATT can or will push out. Look back over the older devices. It is the norm for the Official Updates being worse then the worst custom rom out there.

I have decided to keep this thread open so others will hopefully post here instead of opening a new thread
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Hey All. Just a quick thought I had. With the hardware specifications of the G Tablet, is it powerful enough to mimic the Viewpad 10 and dual boot win (XP of 7) and android? I know that the processors are quite different, but would that make it impossible?

What would make it possible: Swapping the guts of the Viewpad 10 w/the gTab...

Viewpad 10 only run Android 1.6 anyways, which is VERY old, as that is the only version of Android ATM that supports x86 processors...
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
You know, my 1st thought was no, bcuz of different instruction set, but here's an idea: run Windows under qemu under Android on Gtab. It'd probably be dog slow, but...

Jim
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Unuseably slow. Reminds me about all the people who continuously asked about a Nintendo 64 emulator for the Nintendo DS...
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Agreed :)...
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Not possible yet, you wouldn't want to try to run Windows under an emulator, trust me.

However, a Tegra 2/ARM build of Windows 7 is apparently in the works - see this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10011358#post10011358

Also, there is apparently a Windows CE build already for Tegra 2, I'd check out the developer forums at NVidia if you're really curious. I don't know why anybody would want to run Win CE on their G Tab, but it'd be a cool hack if you felt like doing it. :) Drivers for touchscreen would be an issue of course - you'd have to write them for the G Tablet touchscreen (which will be at least vaguely plausible after the kernel source release this week), or find something compatible out there. Basically, a lot of work for no real return.

[Nook Color General] pharaohamps:
I have noticed on certain dialog boxes the menu text is so light it's virtually unreadable. Does anyone know a fix fir this?

The next time I get a dialog box like this I will post a screenshot.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] mrschmitz:
I've noticed this as well. I assume that it is because the default Android dialog box background is black, so when apps assume the default black background when they make custom dialogs and don't specifically set a background color, that is a problem. So my guess is it is an issue on a per-app basis.

Hmmm - some of my menu text is too light, but some is missing entirely!

what to do?
[G1 Android Development] tribalartgod:
In order for you to obtain this OTA update, you are going to have to unroot your phone. I personally suggest keeping it the way it is, and toy around with these custom roms. you couldn't pay me enough to unroot and stay unrooted on my phone. just my $.02

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Xeon3D:
Hi.

I recently got a Magic so I'm not really into the Radio \ SPL stuff having come from a GT-I9000.

It's currently running CyanogenMod 6, but it's dog slow... (maybe side effect from Galaxy S?) and as such I wanted to go back to the most updated HTC (Generic if possible) or in last case, Vodafone PT / Europe supplied rom, or the most updated official one that can be rooted.

The details of the phone are:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33-2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009,17:27:03

Also has AmonRA's RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H recovery flashed as well.

It was bought in Vodafone Portugal (If it has something to do with CID, idk?), tried the ro.cid stuff but nothing appeared with CID in it.

Can a helpful soul please outline the steps and hopefully a link so I don't end up with a brick?

Edit: I've searched the forums and the internet, and to be honest, most answers to "revert to stock" or "unroot" here on XDA have little or no answers, or very vague ones. I found this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/ but again I'm not sure if that's for a 32A or 32B, so I'm afraid of trying it...

I also have ADB and Fastboot working if it helps. :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Xeon3D:
What if I don't have a nandroid backup of the original?

Also, can't I use a stock rom but with modified spl and recovery?

Many thanks for your answer, even tho it doesn't help me much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
If you don't have a nandroid you can use the files from this archive: http://www.multiupload.com/ALE01CBNSN

Since you have an ENG SPL, you can extract them and use

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

This will take you back to stock system/kernel/userdata without removing your custom recovery or S-OFF (ENG SPL).

BTW, talking back to those trying to help you is a GREAT way to make sure they keep on trying.

Although I didn't have the exact same problem, I had a very similar problem. The above link will give you more details about the problem I was having and how I solved it (thanks to click1's suggestion).

I could not get into download mode no matter what sequence of keys I pressed and my phone hanged on the "samsung vibrant" screen.

IF

your phone is detected by Odin or the computer when you plug it in (doesn't have to be in download mode and your computer doesn't have to be able to show you the usb drives - just as long as there is a confirmation that a usb was connected is enough), then Android SDK will help you force the phone into download mode.

If this doesn't work, your next bet is to physically make a JIG for it:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551

From what I have read, this last one physically forces the phone to go into download mode by using the 5th pin on the MicroUSB key.

I know how you feel - I just got my fixed last night and my problem seemed very unique, I wish I could offer more help but I hope these will work for you.
