Anyone seen a "case" for an Aria that only goes around the edge of the phone?

Basically I think the main thing that requires protection on an Aria is the edge of the glass. Completely covering the back of the phone is pointless and adds bulk to the phone without any benefit. I have seen cases for iPhone 4g that only go around the edge and protect the edge of the glass without adding significant thickness to the phone. I wonder if such a thing exists for the Aria.
[HTC Aria Accessories] seanfinn:
Did you find one? I'd be interested too I'd you could post link..
[HTC Aria Accessories] ChunkPRC:
attn1 posted this in another thread so thx to him..

http://store.cheapdroids.com/HTC-Aria-Accessories//

Shipping was free, got here in 3 days... I got 3rubber cases, luv em,, just notice ::: bright neon green and the bright red covers are dull and not so bright.. still good though .. happy shopping.
[HTC Aria Accessories] DanGeorges:
Excellent Case for the Aria

I'm not a fan of rubberized silicon-type cases - I prefer leather (for complete cases) or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) for skin cases.

I saw this TPU case at an at&t store for $25. I tried it on the Aria and it fits great - fits around the edge, covers glass edges, and is made for the Aria by HTC. It adds a bit of bulk - but this makes the phone feel a bit more solid.

I found it for less than $10 at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Skin-Case...Q1AO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295549639&sr=8-1

...
[HTC Aria Accessories] theROMinator:
Same exact one I have from amazon.. Only bad thing is I replaced my screen and I need a case to cover the top edges :/
[HTC Aria Accessories] mr72:
Yeah I have had a couple of those TPU cases, and they make the phone considerably more bulky. No point really, since the back of the phone is not exactly vulnerable. I am really looking for a case that JUST covers the edges and does not add thickness to the back of the phone unnecessarily.
[HTC Aria Accessories] DanGeorges:
Yes - it makes the Aria a bit more bulky. I like the "naked" phone as well, but this case seems to offer a bit of protection to the edges of the glass screen.

You might try the cheap TPU case from Amazon and cut out the back.

If it doesn't work, you're only out $8 or $9.

It sounds like you want a case that doesn't really exist...at least not that I ever saw.
[HTC Aria Accessories] fnds:
I got the Amazon TPU case mentioned above and like it very much. The Aria is almost too thin, in my opinion, and the case adds just enough bulk to make the phone feel more solid in my hands. You can always cut out the back as suggested.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RPK925:
Hi I have been using andriod on my Tilt 2 for about 3 months now and was using the frox02 blazn but about a week ago I updated to the frox3 build from a clean download. Now iam getting a pop up when the launcher starts saying activity launcher pro will expire in 5 days, now 2 days later its now down to 3 days. Has anyone else had this happen, and what happens when it expires? And how can I fox it. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
When it expires, you'll be forced to update it. Kinda annoying, but it's doable. Best to just update it before it expires.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RPK925:
it has already expired, and is saying "click on this button to update activity laucher" but dosnt connect to the page directed to. the browser works, if i keep the page open where the activity launcher timed out. but cannot get to apps, contacts, anything only browser seems to work. any help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] brysue:
I answered this in you other post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RPK925:
To update before it expires? i did not update before it expired. now caanot access launcher

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
I tried doing a search didnt really bring up anything so I thought I'd ask. But do i ask here or in the Q&A section? oh what the hell

If you download runkeeper pro, which is free at the moment and keep that until Runkeeper Pro goes paid. and uninstall it once it goes paid againt, are you going to have to purchase it?

Not sure if any of that made sense
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webplus:
You looking to download run keeper or just telling us about it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webplus:
Look for it in the market...its runkeeper all one word. It does not work that great on my S. Went to exercise last night and the GPS did not kick in till a half mile later. I am going to try again but who knows.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
my question was I have it installed, and its free obviously, IF when it goes back to being a paid version, and I uninstall it, would i have to purchase it to download again?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webplus:
I don't think so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I don't really know how that works, but as long as you maintain a market link for the app (whether it's actually installed or not, but shows in your apps section of the Market), I think you'd still be able to install it. No experience with that at all, though.

I'm losing track in my head of who's rooted and who's not around here, but if you're rooted, you can always just copy the apk to your sdcard and reinstall it manually, later, right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webplus:
That's what I do
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yeah, and I do similar for apps that I can't see in the Market on the Nexus S. I download them on my SGS or N1, then upload the apk to my dropbox and install from there on the NS. Tedious, but it works.

Heres a video showing you how to take your 2.2 Epic back to 2.1 it even works on bricked Epics as well. Check it out

Now I take no credit I got this from a forum on XDA I just made a video for those who are noobs and scared. Because I haven't posted more than eight times I have to put the link like this.

http colon//androidadvocate dot com/?p=842

Enjoy made it simple as possible.:)

This video was made for people who have tried putting the unofficial 2.2 on their Epic and it failed. Enjoy!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Nice vid man thanks :)

But I do wish the term brick wasn't thrown around so much, so that people who are just coming into the game don't think that there is a way to fix everything. There are still risks involved because this wouldn't fix a true brick. Broken rom, tons of FCs, can't get into recovery mode...yes this is the fix.

But bricked means you can't get the phone on at all. Even in to download mode. In which case you'll have to eat the money.

But good job making a simple tutorial for last resort.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xcolt45:
Great video.

Too bad I truly bricked my first epic... this would not have helped

Like the above post stated...this will fix most other "bricks"
[Epic 4G Android Development] mictek:
That term is thrown around way too much. If you can get into download mode your phone is not a brick, but good job on the video.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
Why isn't this posted in General? This has nothing to do with development. There is a sticky with Odin instructions and Q&A.

PS If your Epic is truly bricked then nothing will fix it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndroidAdvocate:
Thanks and thats true what you said all bricks can't be fixed I'll make sure I add that in the video.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndroidAdvocate:
You are right and I cleared it up in my post. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Should probably link the 2.1 download to a DI18 ROM, not DG27!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nvoltz:
I would love to see this video…that link didn’t really go anywhere for me? If someone could be so kind to shoot me a link I lost recovery all together and can’t (one click/ clockwork) “no device found” and I ride the wave of the stall (Farctoryfs.Fs) for hours on end; still got download and that it.

[Captivate General] bames:
can someone please run the product code checker from SGS Tools or SGS Toolbox and repost or pm me with the proper product code for the Rogers I896

i am guessing SGH-I896KZAROG

but just want to make sure

PS - if you have a proper product code in your nv_data file.

would greatly appreciate a 2nd favor.

-download Hex Editor free from Market.

-open hex editor

-use capacitive menu button to open options and select open file

-navigate to EFS folder and open nv_data.bin

-go back to menu using capacitive button and selection jump to address

-enter 0188000 (will take you to line 00188000 which is where we need to be)

the lines i am interested in will all be on screen: 00188000, 00188008, 00188010, 00188018, and 00188020

if you could please post the hex code for each line (to the immediate right of each line you will see 8 blocks of data in green text each containing two letters/two numbers/or combo of letter/#)

I need the data from each of the 8 blocks from those 5 lines.

if you could just cut and paste the lines below into response and provide the data black next to them for each line

00188000

00188008

00188010

00188018

00188020
[Captivate General] danrubi:
Not sure if this is helpful...read your other thread on how to do change product code. I am on a custom rom and my IMEI is the same as when I first got the phone. IF THAT MEANS THAT MY PRODUCT CODE SHOULD REMAIN THE SAME, then my product code is: SGH-I896ZKARWC....but once again, i'm not very confident about this...I just noticed that no one else responded yet :)
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
That is the correct product code, but it can be changed by custom roms.
[Captivate General] danrubi:
Thanks for the quick reply...I just confirmed this too: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10406775&postcount=221

You type faster though :)

It's funny that some roms change the PC and IMEI on certain phones but not others...
[HTC Aria General] mr72:
Has anyone else noticed that the recessed lens for the Aria camera attracts lint from your pocket, and you really can't easily clean that lint off without something like a Q-tip?

Seems like it'd be simple enough to have some kind of stick on film cover that you could clean externally without any tool such as a Q-tip. With lint in there, the camera is pretty much useless. With a clean lens, the camera works great.

Can anyone suggest a good solution to this problem?
[HTC Aria General] Griffeycom:
I have noticed the exact same thing you are mentioning. I wish they would have done something better with the design but oh well! :( Don't have any good solutions but will monitor this thread to see what others do.
[HTC Aria General] drowningchild:
Rip the tip off a qtip and use it like that dry worked perfect for my camera
[HTC Aria General] I_RatRod_itAll:
I think the idea was probably to keep fingerprints off.. that part works perfectly. I just twist the corner of a kleenex/papertowel/napkin and stick it in there & turn it
[HTC Aria General] ioft:
Don't use a twisted napkin/etc... good way to get scratches. Now, I know our Aria isn't like a Nikon DSLR... but still, a scratched lense will kill any photos you take.

Get something like a lens pen or an air cleaning blower. They're fairly cheap, and can be used with multiple devices... not just your Aria! :)

Edit: Another item you can use - for all the guys out there with electric shavers - the little brushes that come with your shaver to clean the heads/etc can also be used to clean out the camera for the Aria. (I noticed one on my desk and wanted to add to this.)
[HTC Aria General] ioft:
Duplicate post........
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
Put black tape over the cam grill and pull off when using the camera. Like a manual shutter haha.
[HTC Aria General] mr72:
OK obviously you can just clean it by jamming something in there or carry around a lens cleaning pen or whatever, that's not the point. The point is to come up with a solution that is not such a pain to clean it. My wife & daughter both have iPhones and they just take them out of their pocket and shoot a picture. If I'm going to have to clean the danged lens with a q-tip or a lens cleaning cloth or whatever EVERY TIME I USE IT then the camera is pretty much totally useless on this phone.

A clear plastic cover would work brilliantly. The reason this collects lint is because the lens is down in a hole. It wouldn't collect lint if there was a lens surface flush with the exterior of the phone. Also a lens surface level with the exterior of the phone would be very easy to wipe off with your shirt tail or whatever if it had a fingerprint on it. But the lint is guaranteed to be there if you put your phone in your pocket as it is and it's a royal pain to get it clean.
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
eh not quite that easy of a solution. HTC Tilt 2 had a plastic cover flush with the backcover of the phone to cover and protect the recessed camera lens. it still managed to take horrible shots with it...because the plastic cover was prone to getting tiny scratches almost impossible to see, but picked up by the camera lens. removing the cover made pictures FAR clearer and better.

unless they start making gorrilla glass to cover and protect the camera lens..we're stuck with wipe and shoot.
[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
1. A FAQ listed on each section. I know we have Wiki, but its usually outdated and hard to navigate. There really is no need for gigantic lists, but simple things like how to root, use odin, use clockwork, install roms/themes, etc... can be put there along with a warning on asking questions which have already been posted on the FAQ.

2. More Mods! I think just one or two more mods can help the forums a lot and clean things up.

3. Warnings for people who post questions that have already been answered on the front page of a thread or faq followed by a temp ban if they continue.

I'm really tired of the cycle of

- Dumb question posted

- Followed by "read the damn thread or use the damn search button"

- Followed by "Hey you were a noob once and theres no harm in answering the question you ass along with lengthy answer on the question that will inevitable be asked 10 more times in the near future"

- Continue flame war that now has nothing to do with the thread anymore

You enable people by holding their hands. Don't be an enabler. If you managed to find out how to do all this crap on your own, they can too. At most you should point them to the right thread and let them read up on it on their own so they can further their own education.

4. Don't PM the Devs for requests. They have enough work on their hands and don't need to be flooded. Remember the rule of think before you speak? Try thinking before you PM.

Anyhoo, there was a bunch more, but I'm sure you guys/gals have other ideas.

I don't understand why the "[How To] Return to Stock / Fix Bricked Epic" thread is not sticked.

If someone posts they bricked their phone and needs help you post the link to that thread and lock it.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I like the sentiment of this thread but fear it might be taken the wrong way. Whosdaman is really a wonderful guy and has been very helpful to me but it seems like he is very busy (and who can blame him for dealing with things outside of the interwebs?) so I support this I would also like to issue a blanket "Thank you for your hard work" to Whosdaman.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Seeing as this is a collection of developers I don't see why we don't customize the forum itself.

I don't see any reason we can't flag the development and Q/A threads for every phone. Then, if "is this a question" is set to yes, automatically put it in that phone's Q/A forum. On top of which we could add a "You are posting in the development forum, this is reserved for people developing for [insert phone]. Please check the box below to confirm that you are developing something you wish to share." anytime people posted in the development forum.

Obviously people can still screw it up, if nothing else on purpose, but we can expect people who have never been on the forums to know how the forums are laid out, usually by reading the rules, which never happens, to sort their own, or we can make it as self sorting as possible.
[Epic 4G General] Bigjim1488:
Sounds like whosedaman just needs some support. Perhaps another mod added to help out. We all have to keep in mind that these guys don't get paid for this and real life always trumps forums life. Just my thought on this.

Sent from my Epic while i should be working
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
I was wondering why there was so much confusion in this forum, as I really liked the forums I used for the month I had a Moment before the Epic dropped. Was there ever a forum on here for the moment??? I couldnt find one, so I checked sdx, which I remember lurking back then and found my answer. Why can't Xda have 'child forums', with descriptions of where and why to post things?? They have a 'market' forum section for ROMs, etc, which we here are using development exclusively. I understand why, but it seems its this way here because of limited tools for organizing, can this sites software not do that? It is completely logical and intuitive to post questions directly regarding development or roms in the development section if you are new... I would have expected a sub-forum for roms only, or at least some direction other than after the fact... usually unless its horribly out of order, whosdaman is pretty polite about it, and given the feelings regarding this device, things get silly in here. Anyways, yes, at least sticky all roms and things 'coolguy' or whatever dont warrant flaming, and then politely notify the new people that questions regarding development actually get booted over to general, where intuitively people would assume GENERAL questions like 'do you like gmail or the stock app better?'.

More mods? Better structure? Who has control over this? Are there any experienced volunteers that can help whosdaman out with his daunting task?

We need to expect more 'joined in Dec 2010' and later members as every idiot with a blog and engadget included seem to think this site and forum are the authority, even over Sprint and Samsung (if XDA says 2.2 is dropping, it must be true, head over there and complain about it). NOTHING against new members, just that there is little direction other than the 'rules' that most people think are just 'dont flame, no kiddie porn... etc...' Dont get all elitist because people couldnt figure out your simple, non-intuitive structure because its their first 5 mins here.

Love this forum, but its like people are baited into getting flamed by assuming this forum runs like most any other... I thought I saw the end of this when I refused to go to another BBC chat... guess not.

If you feel that you must deputize yourself, please, copy the link to the wiki, rules, etc and paste them in misplaced, repeat threads and leave it at that.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
since this is a fluff post, BigJim, whats the 1488 stand for??? Just curious...
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Pardon? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'a fluff post'. I sincerely hope Whosdaman reads this thread and takes into account that there are some of us who would genuinely like to help him make our forums a more manageable place to browse and share ideas/roms/themes/etc. I am in no way asking for myself to be made a mod but rather I believe there are people here who would make good mods and I hope that WDM sees that we support him and want to help him make our community more accessible!

Regrettably, I do read almost every thread in this forum, and forums I maintain...

<--------- Look here, I have 8 forums to maintain full time, but 6 are dead lol

Yeah I do have a life outside this for sure. Not only am I a senior in High School, I am on the Mock Trial team, the Robotics Team, a Sales Representative for Sprint, and a Writer for BriefMobile.com

So yeah I would say I'm busy, but I look over the entire forum as much as I can. Shep211 has been extremely busy in his personal life, that's why I started helping.

It is a thankless job, it's a volunteer job. All free, I don't get paid. The only thanks comes from the owner of the site when I say "if you fix this the site will be better."

Besides all that I can single handedly control this entire forum. I know it sometimes looks cluttered and in a mess, but then again...the Development section is spotless, which is truely the only thing that matters. The General section is meant to be a mess because it's where everyone posts their questions and complaints.

There are applications to become a moderator here on XDA, you have to meet certain requirements to be considered and then be approved. No one of this forum knows my experience as a moderator unless you used GameBattles.com for PS3.

If you want to help me out the most, please please please, use the "Report Post" feature. Every reported post goes straight to my inbox, and I see every single one. Normally RP's get extra attention as they obviously have bothered someone enough to have it reported. 90% of the RP's are either Ghost or Kenvan.

The search feature would do alot of people good, it's nice to tell people to do something, but Report the post/thread and I'll take care of it. You clutter up the forum and threads by posting in threads saying to post in General, just report it. That's all.

Sure, I wish everyone searched because there are at least 5 can't root threads. I would rather merge them all but it too much work to find them. Like I said, let the noobs make their mistake. The members report the post, don't tell them they were wrong. I'll move it, shoot them a PM, and then post in their thread telling them where they should have posted. Then hopefully they will learn.

Thanks again,

WDM
