I got mine from amazon.co.uk

I don't go a lot on case mates included screen protectors. Best screen protector to go for is HTC's SP430 which is for the DHD and fits excellent. I have one on mine right now no bubbles nothing and fits excellent. That SP430 is a twin pack as well got mine from play.com only £4.95 for two!

I don't think I will have to take this one off for a very long time as I put it on carefully, used a microfibre cloth to take all microscopic bits of dust off and it applied without any bubbles and the screen is crystal clear, good result! Go for the SP430.

This is what I have:

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...pe=allproducts&searchsource=0&urlrefer=search

Really cool, until now after 2 weeks, the top part of the case, where the standby button is - has become very loose and tends to pop behind the actual phone. Its quite loose now and doesn't fit snug any more.
[Desire HD Accessories] ToneyEricsson:
I purchased that one as well but wish I never did. You should go for the Case Mate Tough case, its a million times better

The Case-Mate HTC Desire HD Tough Case / Black is on play.com as well.

I've got a few cases for my DHD now the Case-Mate HTC Desire HD Tough Case and Pop case are the best ones :)
[Desire HD Accessories] samuelong87:
the casemate webpage for dhd cases seems to be removed :(
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
It's up now again. And they have more cases available. Maybe they were updating it?

[Desire HD Accessories] Roy_Drage:
Have both the Otterbox and the case mate pop cases, much prefer the case mate one. Reminds me of the lovely Speck candyshell case I had on my iPhone. Also the screen protector that came with the case mate is the best fitting one i've had so far. Am still waiting for my anti-glare one to turn up...... fed up of looking at my face every time i look at the phone's screen.
[Desire HD Accessories] JONTishe:
I want to warn you. Just got CaseMate POP and it turned out that this case is no signal GPS. Hole above the stub LED flash (just in the stub antenna GPS) is too small .. The plastic cover is also not transparent to GPS signals (((

PS: Sorry. Google translate.. I hope at least a bit understandable
[Desire HD Accessories] Krzysiec:
Strange ;) My GPS signal is just fine ;) (Case-Mate POP)
[Desire HD Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
No problem here either.
[Desire HD Accessories] JONTishe:
With Case - 2 sat. Without - 10. I do not understand ((
[Desire HD Accessories] ultimatepichu:
I got myself Tough Case too! Hopefully it will arrive 2mr so I'll see how it goes. :D Wanted to buy Ottobox Defender but it's too expensive.
[Desire HD Accessories] captainzaak:
Hey, any update on the tough case? I'm stuck between ordering the Tough case or the Pop!.

I'm loving the Pop, however the glossy finish may be a problem when it comes to scratches.

Any photos you can share? :D
[Desire HD Accessories] onlytests:
Hello,
[Desire HD Accessories] xlfate:
Using pop case and i can say its on par with otterbox commuter but i still wish there was a cover for the earpiece hole and USB
[Desire HD Accessories] kyleastley:
looks nice in the photos, might have to buy on looked on ebay only available in america

[Desire HD Accessories] angler:
I have the Pop case which is very nice. A little bit thick but it gives considerable protection to the DHD. A firm rubber side grip that can hold the DHD when using the phone.
[Desire HD Accessories] fain2daniel:
U have in Europe also but only black/gray color...im loking for white one :D

U can look on clove.co.uk or order from case-mate.com,they ar shipping international.
[Desire HD Accessories] houston_:
I have it too.

I like it :)

But!

for now there are two disadvantages:

1. The already found GPS-Problem, with and without the cover.

Alos documented on youtube.

2. THe Cover is not for daily changing, every time you pull the phone out and later in you risk to damage the edges on the bottom.

They already broken for me. i got the case for nearly 2 month. :(
[Desire HD Accessories] naya28:
atte4ntion

hi every boddy,i just want to0 suggest you to take care with the case mate,mine breaks all my connections (gps wifi)when i take it off my gps works after 5 seconds...so now you know
[Desire HD Accessories] silversurfers25:
Got my case a few weeks ago and find it fantastic - firm to hold with plenty of grip from the silicon side grips.

Havent had any problems with connections - GPS is pretty much instant.

However the back of the case, the shiny bit is scratched to hell already - im not bothered about the scratches as its protecting the phone inside :D
[Desire HD Accessories] in4ra:
GPS is pretty much instant [with the Case-Mate Pop]? Not for me: http://youtu.be/pVh96ffr6z0?hd=1

The case offers good protection but will look VERY weathered after a week. I also did not appreciate the horrid GPS performance my phone was exhibiting with the case on. No matter how you cut it, the Pop will be riddled with micro-scratches. I kept my phone on a stack of paper or a foam mouse pad and kept it off any abrasive/hard surfaces and it still looked terrible after a week. It looks very pretty when new, but it will certainly not stay that way for long.

The case can also be difficult to take off, so if you need to get to the battery often, you'll be annoyed sooner than later. When removing it, it's difficult not to put pressure on the phone itself, which I did not feel comfortable with. Not only that, taking the case on/off frequently will cause the grey silicon lining to separate from the plastic casing around the corners especially. If you keep your phone in your pocket, like most people do, it will also accelerate the wear of the grey rubber lining around the corner and edges to the effect of what a rubber band looks like when you stretch it before it breaks and allow it to return to its normal state.

I contacted Case-Mate about the terrible performance of my Pop case and they stood by their product and customer service. They gave me a brand new Barely There and a Case-Mate Tough Case for my DHD at no additional cost. They didn't even ask me to return the Pop. They simply wanted to see pictures of the case and the video (linked above) of the GPS performance. They said they would hand off the video to their development team for investigation. Mind you, there are many cases that cause a phone to exhibit poor GPS performance, but in my case it was completely unacceptable.

I'm currently using the Barely There that Case-Mate gave me and I really like it. The protection level is certainly not as good as the Pop or Tough Case, but the GPS performance is better (still afflicted though) and the profile of the Barely There is fantastic if you keep your phone in your pocket or chest pocket.
[Desire HD Accessories] silversurfers25:
I agree with the scratches on the case but then again at least its doing its job and protecting the phone itself :)

However GPS is pretty quick on my phone - although i dont use it very often, only for latitude or google maps - You dont really need GPS in the isle of man that much since its only 15miles by 38 miles long :P

I have to also agree about removing the case - at first it was difficult to remove but then i found if i rested the top right side of my phone on my leg and put leverage on the bottom end left side, the case would just "pop" off and i havent found the silicon from wearing away yet :)
[Desire HD Accessories] witek.kilarski:
Belt pouch/case for this Pop Case?

Hi, anyone can point me to pouch that I can instal at my belt that will fit Desire HD with that case? I ve been using disk drive case for that purpose but this is clearly temporary choice and finding anything for desire hd with such large protection seem to be mission difficoult. Thanks.
[Desire HD Accessories] society mike:
nice!! I just decided last minute to get the "barely there" casemate case when I ordered. I like how it's.. "barely there"... lol

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ingrdgrbl:
Hello,

its been quite a long time I installed HSPL. Now im about to install mglrd, but im quite unsure which HSPL. Booting with Volume Down it says SPL-1.66.HSPL XE - does that mean that both the SPL and HSPL version are 1.66 or just SPL?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dtechnology:
You can see the HSPL version when you hold the volume down button directly after turning on (or soft-resetting) te device. You will get in the tri-color screen which shows some info like (H)SPL version.

Soft reset or pull battery for a normal boot.

I have the nero v3 rom by team whiskey and i really dont prefer the stock android sms app. Handcent is alright but i really want the stock touchwiz sms app. Is there any cwm flashable zip you could direct me to that is compatible with nero v3?

PS i dont want the full touchwiz experience, just the sms
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
It has bugs with pic messaging last I heard, why not customize handcent to look like it??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Look in my thread, I have a fixed TWiz MMS with GB style notification icons and shortcut. Picture messages aren't blurry in that version either. There's a link to my thread in my signature.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
GO SMS is also a great option, its got a tad few less customization options than Handcent, but I think it looks much nicer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] treyvaporizer:
Hey guys thanks for all the quick replies! Also i tried your slightly better gingerbread and every one that i tried came back with the system asking me to wait or to force close. Am i doing something wrong?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
You should really ask questions about SBG in my thread. If you had another theme prior to mine, some are incompatible. download the Theme Restore I posted and flash that. If you can't get it on your SD card, boot into CWM, select mounts and storage, then mount USB storage. Then you can put it your internal SD to flash it. After you flash that and reboot once, you should be able to apply any of my themes without the force closes or boot-loops. If that doesn't solve your problem, please report it in my thread.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dbryon:
Go sms awsome
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
yep, GO SMS is just amazing, has a bunch of themes, android, iphone, htc etc.

pop-up options

its really idiot-proof

has all the options you'd look for in a sms app, and it gets updated like every week or every other week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seven_PRX:
I don't take pictures often, but my Samsung Omnia 7 seems to take very very bad pictures.

This is both indoors and outdoors, both with flash on and off.

Most picutres I take, it looks like they are out of focus, or if I'm shaking, which I'm not.

All pics were taken with the default camera settings (which get lost anyway when you exit the camera).

(edit: at the bottom of the post you can scroll to the right to see the rest of the pics)

Sometimes the pictures are ok, let's start with one which isn't too bad:

Now pics taken which are all bad/out of focus. This happens with almost all I take, so indoors, outdoors, etc:

Other people have similar issues? For me this right now means I can't use my camera. Out of my 30 NYE pictures, 0 (!) were usuable...
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
That's strange because I consider the Omnia7 camera outstandingly good for a phone camera.

It looks like a physical defect. Is the camera lens clean? Then maybe the sensor is out of place which would require a warranty repair.

Just to be sure: Did you try a hardreset -maybe the software messed up at any point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GIPAQ:
My Omnia 7 camera shots are outstanding, even at low light conditions. It might be a hardware defect or a software issue. I would hard reset to test.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seven_PRX:
Well, haven't tried a hard-reset, because I would lose all my settings and stuff.

And that wouldn't explain to me why sometimes it's ok, but most of the time it's not..
[Windows Phone 7 General] tbk21:
Are you sure you are pressing the camera button half-down to focus and than take the picture. I sometimes get these kind of pictures if I don't focus with my HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seven_PRX:
No, I just press the button down.

You have to wait for it to focus?? With my old Touch HD I could just press the button to take a picture and be done with it, and never had any issues of it being out of focus.

So this 'having' to press it halfway down to focus seems like a bad thing to me; can you turn that off? That especially ruins it when you want to take a picture quickly...?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spybreak:
Autofocus cameras work that way. You have to half-press for the camera to find focus and then fully press to take the picture. If you have ever used a real digital camera you have done that.

Your touch HD either didn't have an AF lens or focused once you clicked on the camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seven_PRX:
No, never had any 'real' camera :) Well, thnx for the tip, guess I'll just half press before taking pics.

There is no way for this to do it automatically, where I can just press the button down, it then focusses and takes the pic?

=7
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
nope, there is no way. the phone was designed with a 2 stage camera button. with other phones, they require you to tap on the screen to focus and shoot. windows phone is one of the few which provide an actual camera button.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ekashic:
my mozart is also rather bad,8M is a joke
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gp.:
As has been discussed in this thread, it's 100% evident that your pictures are poor because you haven't half pressed the shutter button to focus first.

Just hold the button lightly until a rectangle box appears. That's your focus box and it should be evident when it's focused on what you want. You'll also hear a sound from the device that it's focused.

Without releasing your finger, push down fully on the shutter button to take the focused photo.

If you simply push down like you have been, it's not giving the camera a chance to focus and you'll get blurring.

I'm sure you understand already by the post I saw, just making sure I can double make sure you understand.

Happy shooting!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
OK Mr Photography expert, kindly explain why you believe the number of megapixels has anything to do with image quality and why 8Megapixels is a joke?

Perhaps you could also explain why you don't think lens size and quality, and CCD quality come into the equation at all?

Or, come to think of it, why any phone is anything but a joke for taking decent pics?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Did he say anything about the lens or CCD not being part of it? No, he did not. He simply stated that the 8MP camera on his Mozart is a joke - and I for one am inclined to agree with him. The Mozart, with it's 8MP sensor, does not produce any better quality photos than the rest of the HTC WP7 line-up - which pretty much answers your question about why it's a joke.

Of course you can never compare a cameraphone with an actual camera (Nikon owner here) but the Mozart (and IMO the rest of the WP7 devices on the market today) produce worse quality photos than e.g. the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Edo9:
From your examples it is evident that your hand were shaking, mostly in the indoor pics (camera needs longer time of exposition).

Try to fix up your hand (on the table or against the wall) and photos will be much clearer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio:
Just another quick tip - Low Level Lighting Condition = Slower Shutter speeds

In low level lighting conditions in order to get a crisp pic, you and the objects you are taking pictures of will need to remain as static as possible

whereas outdoors in daylight you'll probably notice an almost instant shutter time

Other ppl have the same problem?
[Omnia 7 General] jazzjunkz:
My pictures come out quite well with the Omnia 7..Not amazing (in comparison with high end digital cameras) - but very good for a smart phone.

Reading that topic - did you at all try the half press autofocus? You MUST do this with every shot if you want precise, blur-free pictures else I'm afraid you are going to come out with the pictures you've presented.

However if the pictures occur at the same quality whilst autofocusing - then there is a definite defect in the camera and would get the phone replaced under warranty (if valid) or attempt to clean the camera lens.
[Omnia 7 General] Seven_PRX:
No, didn't half press on any of them :) Didn't knew I had to to focus..
[Omnia 7 General] PhilAd:
hehe ... another question ... is it possible to save the camera settings? When I record videos i always have to switch vom vga to 720p hd recording again ... all changed settings are on stock again when i restart the camera app
[Omnia 7 General] stylopath:
Sadly, you won't be able to save any camera settings.

This is very annoying - Always having to set up the camera again prevents me from taking snapshots spontaneously.

Regards
[Omnia 7 General] CreepinJesus:
I never need to change any of the settings - they're fine for quick snapshots. When you need to play around with contrast, white balance, marcro, etc, it's no longer a quick snapshot!

There's an Anti Shake feature on the Omnia (I say Omnia because it wasn't there on the HD7) I'd like to enable permanently but it always goes back to off when you restart the app.

(Just a suggestion as to why someone would want to change the settings)
[Omnia 7 General] JuWa:
My problem is not exactly bad quality, but has anyone else notice that there is a red/pink area in the middle, when you take a pic from a white/light color?
[Omnia 7 General] aBE-One:
Yes, I get that pink area too. I believe it's a fairly common issue with phone cameras, and I also had it with my previous phone (HTC HD2).

Me too: I was accidentally invoking apps, choosing items in lists, etc when trying to scroll.

I found that using a broader finger area for swiping helps, as does having the swipe motion already in progress when touching down. At least, when I consciously do that, it seems to trigger fewer accidents.
[Nook Color General] lopezpm:
This happens to me when I scroll too lightly, but when I add a little pressure it doesn't happen. It might be because I use more of my finger then.

I'm using an app that activates the stock lock screen, but I want it to say something other than, or in addition to, "Enter password to unlock" when the app activates the lock.

Either that, or is there a way to replace the stock lock mechanism so that the app that tries to call for the stock lock screen would instead be activating the alternative?
