The major omission I found when switching from Windows Mobile to Android Eclair was voice dialling thru bluetooth. When I updated to Froyo I immediately tested the Voice Dialler with my Jawbone II - disappointed is an understatement. Recognition of contact names was abysmal, half the time it would dial the wrong contact without any confirmation. Other times I'd have to select an option on the screen - hardly hands free!

I tried Vlingo, but soon found it would only listen and speak thru the phone, not the bluetooth. Apparently a headset with A2DP profile is required.

So I tried Choice Dialer free, and found it better than the stock voice dialer because it offers voice confirmations thru bluetooth. That alone makes it worth using.

Recognition is good using the Jawbone, I haven't tried a built-in bluetooth or separate speaker phone yet. I'll report back when I've done so.

Anyway, I was impressed enough to purchase the Choice Dialer Plus. Can't say I've used the text and email capabilites for real yet, because although you can dictate a message thru bluetooth, you can't send it without pressing a button on the screen. Apparently the developer is working on making texting fully hands-free. He seems pretty active, judging by the change log on the site.

So I would recommend that those who are disappointed with stock Voice Dialler give Choice Dialer a try and see how the voice recognition works for you. Or if you have an A2DP headset, try Vlingo.

OtterBox has just released their commuter case for the HD7. Check it out:

OtterBox Commuter Case For HTC HD7
[HD7 Accessories] YannieBoy:
Probably going to buy it, just wish it was a defender case.

[HD7 Accessories] marnold.bhb:
Post some pics if you get it! :)
[HD7 Accessories] pittphan:
I'm def getting one. I like my Speck case, but I like the protection of the otterbox.

Anyone want to buy my Speck case? $20 OBO- PM me if interested.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[HD7 Accessories] teels4feels:
how much more protection does this offer than the speck case other than the screen protector?
[HD7 Accessories] pittphan:
Significantly more. You can drop on otterbox from 6' onto the pavement and all will be fine. Speck is a nice case though.

[HD7 Accessories] YannieBoy:
The Commuter Series Otterbox cases. Have a Silicon case wrapped around the phone with a hard case ontop of the that. The Silicone acts like a shock absorber while the hard case takes the blunt damage.

Wish they were making a Defender case for it. Its a Hard case lined with silicone/felt on the inside with a silcone case wrapped around the hard case. You can drop them from high hieghts with none-to-minor damage.

Picking up my case soon. My Best Buy is recieveing theirs soon, just want to go pick it up same day. Laziness is great. I'll post pics when I do.
[HD7 Accessories] yelowbottlecaps:
I got it today.

Otterbox has stated that they are NOT making a defender case, so I went with the commuter case.

My main issue with other cases were how hard it was to push the buttons.

This one should win an award as best hd7 case. Buttons are easy to push, the phone has a great feel without being tooo bulky.

I dont have a camera to post pictures right now, but I can promise you it looks exactly like it does on their website.

It also comes with a screen protector, and it is the first screen protector on this phone that I have been able to apply with no bubbles! WIN! :D
[HD7 Accessories] nat45928:
so any pics?
[HD7 Accessories] teels4feels:
I just got the case on Saturday after returning the Speck Pixelskin HD case I previously had. The Speck is a great case if you're more into a lighter weight and just enough protection type case. The design, while great, can be troublesome, as some lint does get stuck between the lines.

As for the Otterbox, apart from the lint magnet that the silicone is on the corners, the case is very high quality and feels much more solid if ever I should drop it by accident. The power button is also much easier to push now.

I'll try to take pictures when I remember.
[HD7 Accessories] JackalJackalJackal:
I bought the OtterBox today and I am very happy. Installing a simple phone and well protected. :)
[HD7 Accessories] AvengerII:
Interesting gadget...

Can you confirm please the shipping cost ?

As I read from their website:

34.95$ + 8$ (i'm in Italy) + 15% (taxes) = 49.40$

Not cheap, but the product seems very well done :cool:

Thanks, Marco.
[HD7 Accessories] JackalJackalJackal:
I bought the OtterBox Ebay.cz. I came even with postage for 38 dollars. :)

I'll do same search.

Thanks again.

[HD7 Accessories] HardwareLust:
Thanks a bunch for mentioning this. This was my biggest question about the Otterbox, and that's my one beef so far with the HD7. It was suggested by someone else to get a silicone skin type of case to improve the button action.

I ordered my Otterbox this morning. :D

How's the quality of the screen protector film?

[HD7 Accessories] krebster:
Just received mine the other day. The Otterbox is an awesome case for the HD7, and doesn't add a lot of bulk. The only issue I have with the case is that it doesn't make the buttons any easier to push like the Speck case did.
[HD7 Accessories] teels4feels:
That's weird.

I thought the Speck case's feedback on the buttons was not very accurate. The volume button was too easily pressed and was annoying as I would just hold the device with my right hand and accidentally press the volume button. Also the power button was very hard to press as I had to put more force compared to the Otterbox!

IMO, the Otterbox has a much better button responsiveness.
[HD7 Accessories] alijahg34:
Krebster try readjusting the silicon inside you should hear a click when pressing the power button. This case rocks

[HD7 Accessories] mndl632:
otterbox case is probably the best one you'll find for the hd7, good combination of silicon and plastic, has made the camera button a lot easier to press.
[HD7 Accessories] scmurphy13:
Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow. It'll be my first Otterbox case. Hope it's worth the money. :)
[HD7 Accessories] teels4feels:
I'll have a chance to compare this case to the Case Mate 'tough' case. I'll report back what I find.
[HD7 Accessories] scmurphy13:
Not horribly impressed. Was hoping it would make my power button easier to push, but it hasn't. It's actually a little harder to push now. Other than that, it's an ok case. I'm hoping to never find out how durable it is, though. ;)
[HD7 Accessories] fcrb:
Cheers, used the code about a weeks ago and my case arrived yesterday.

I found the buttons were easier to push with the case. The top, sides, and bottom of the HD7 aren't flat, but slightly beveled. I'd try to readjust the silicon lining so it lines up better with the phone.
[HD7 Accessories] scmurphy13:
I've readjusted the thing 3 times. It's such a ***** to get on and off. I'm gonna leave it for now. If I get really bored, I may try to readjust it again.
[HD7 Accessories] CyK1:
so... can anyone post some pics? please? :)

How wide does the case make the phone? I ordered an ezestand xl so I can stand it up in portrait mode and want to be sure it'll fit before ordering the case.
[HD7 Accessories] nat45928:
I ordered mine today, i cant wait to get it and ill post pics when i do!
[HD7 Accessories] Shaggypack:
I have to say I really like the commander!

I have had 4 otterbox models! The last 2 being for the HD2 & hd7

I treat my phones rough! In the 1st month of owning the Xperia X1 I broke 2 of them 1 beyond repair! I am out all day with my hobby so everything the outdoors has thrown at me in the past 10 years, my phones go through as well! The otterbox's have performed magnificently.

I kid you not I have had every conceivable case going for all my previous phones! Including heavy duty ally cases silicon, plastic & leather!

The problem is most decent cases you can’t give them the once over in the flesh! So we look on line & get a couple we think will do the job! Most won’t bother sending the lesser one back, we keep it as a spare!

You name it I have broken it! Some of the expensive ones died in a day or 2!

Yes they aren’t cheap! But I can honestly say I no longer have to worry if I drop it! I have only dropped the HD7 twice! It stays exactly where i put!

I know they aren’t that nice to look at! & some may say they are a tad cumbersome! But hey lets be honest here! What would you rather? A nice leather one that looks the business. (but has a delectate/flimsy belt attachment). Even with loads of padding in the wrong place. Which with a slight tug sideways or outwards breaks the belt attachment? You then find yourself paranoid after a while. After dropping it once you start looking to see if it’s still there. Skmming over the plastic Looking for that little white mark! It’s easy to do! Funny how the case can be ok but it’s always the belt attachment that breaks! By breaking belt attachments I nearly always end up damaging my phone, (a corner here or there) when it drops to the floor!

These toys of ours are brilliant, but massive. They take up a lot of space on the belt, which makes them easier & more prone to break. It makes sense to protect it as best we can!

I have spent 3x the outlay the otterbox's cost on previous phones! (Every single one of them got the same treatment!)

1 case for work £20 plus postage, cradle car £22 plus postage one for going out £30 posted with a combination of phone case & waterproof bag for the great outdoors £35!

It all adds up & we all do it!

If you love your phone look after it with a commander!

I have the otterbox on my HD7 and love it!! Fits great, looks great and provides a high level of protection with out adding to much mass to the unit. It still easily fits into my pocket. The raised buttons make it easier to power on and off and the plugs for the USB and headphone holes provide water protection. The only thing I didn't like was the cheap screen protector that comes with it. It scratches easy and is difficult to clean. I ended up pulling it off and the stock screen has been fine.
[HD7 Accessories] nat45928:
I got the case today and absolutely love it! Very High quality product that fits very well. the screen protector is great, it went on very easy a clean. the case itself is very firm and easy to get on. it dosent add to much dimension to the phone and gives it a much sturdier feel.

[HD7 Accessories] JamesDax:
Got mine yesterday. Very happy with the fit and look.
[HD7 Accessories] uwbadgers16:
This might be a dumb question as the Otterbox comes with a screen protector, but will it allow for something like a Zagg screen protector without lifting its edges? Also, how much dust and things like that get stuck under the case? I'm worried about the case scratching the phone, because it happens sometimes....

any idea ????
[HD7 Accessories] Mr4eyes86:
Just got my commuter case today. Absolutely love it! I totally messed up putting the screen protector on but the case is really nice and barely adds additional thickness in my opinion. The on/off button on top can be hard at times to push if you grip your phone like a pepsi can and use you index finger to push it. Other than that it's an awesome case!

[HD7 Accessories] drewmaloy:
long time listener. first time caller.

i'm curious what your thoughts are on heat build up inside the hd7? since there is no vents on this particular case.

currently where i live, the temps are over 100. so at work (inside) the temp rises 10-15 depending on air flow.
[HD7 Accessories] XPLANE9:
The commuter shouldn't be increasing the temperature of the phone at all. My phone feels about the same temperature wise with the case on as without a case, The only true gripe I have with the case is that I find it a pain to take off when you are changing sim cards or the battery. Unless someone suggests an easier alternative of course...

netarchy or ziggy's are your main choice listed on XDA. else where on the web you can find Baked kernel and kings kernel.

First make sure u read up on SBC so you are aware of any 'possible ' issues. That said I use SBC, and I would use the netarchy 4.2.2 less aggressive HAVS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i dont really suggest using a SBC kernel personally. if you decide yuo want to it depends the more aggresive the undervolt the better the battery. this can impact performance and not all phones like an aggressive undervolt kernel and can reboot more often.

I would jsut find the netarchy kernel thread itself and lookf or the latest and try the aggressive undervolt kernel. if you have performance issues (random reboots) then flash the less aggressive one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
I'm not really digging an SBC Kernal as well. You of any good kernels that aren't SBC?

i have yet to encounter the issue on point 1

but yes i do find issue 2 very often, indeed i have set mine to WCDMA only to prevent roaming

since i installed NoBars, it seems to have taken care of the problem

need a few more days to confirm
[Nexus S General] johoja:
Still unacceptable that we even have to do that. This is a flagship phone and these are pretty major issues. What goods a phone that cant get signal. Pretty annoyed especially since this is a 500$+ phone.

[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Is there a bug report opened on google code?
[Nexus S General] ka_ko:
I can confirm the second problem.... :/
[Nexus S General] johoja:
I believe google code is for AOSP issues, for Nexus S related issues I would do the following:

1) Tweet the issue to googlenexus, and romainguy

2) Post on the forum http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=747f398a6c1bb2b9&hl=en&start=40

I'm surprised they still haven't acknowledged it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The problem is distinguishing what is a Nexus S hardware bug and what is a Gingerbread AOSP issue, especially since the NS is the only device running 2.3.x, so we can't compare our bugs to other devices to determine if it's AOSP or device-specific.

Google does tend to close bug reports out as saying it's not a code bug.

The support/help forum does also tend to get more active replies from Google employees than you ever see on the code site.
[Nexus S General] johoja:
Going through forums and bug reports & according to AllGamer the Samsung Galaxy S devices suffered the same issues initially but were fixed with updates (and as we all know SGS does not have 2.3+ (Also I'm not sure if it was completely fixed). Since the NS is pretty much the same device I'm not surprised.

See this for example:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...-after-disconnected-to-Mobilicty-to-reconnect

The work around for SGS users was a little bit better though they have an option to specify WCDMA Bands i.e) 1700mhz only. That seems to fix the problem on SGS. Unfortunately 'Pure' Google doesn't have that option built in. ( I can't confirm the fix only going on what I've read. Don't have a SGS)

Based on that I'm going to go ahead and say its not a Gingerbread issue, it's more of a baseband issue. Also I think you can flash Gingerbread to an N1 (Cyanogenmod) I sold my N1 so can't verify for sure its not a Gingerbread only issue.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
back on the SGS, the problem was only with 2.1 Eclair

after upgrading to 2.2 Froyo all those voice/network dropped issues were resolved

so it's possible we might be seeing a re-lapse of the problem in 2.3 GingerBread, perhaps 2.4 might fix this? :confused:
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
First off, I think we need to stop saying SGS and Galaxy S phones. There are numerous existing models, and they all have slightly different hardware, including the radio chips. There are also at least four new as yet un-released, but announced models that will be called Galaxy S phones as well, and they are significantly different than the ones that are derivative of the original i9000.

For example, I have the Galaxy S i9000, and I usually specify that when referring to it. This is important, because the issues and solutions on the Galaxy S Vibrant are not the same.

My i9000 came with Eclair, and got updated to Froyo, and I NEVER had these problems with the phone on AT&T's US network. My friend is using a US Vibrant on AT&T as well and he never has had the issues, either on Eclair or Froyo. So I'm not so sure you can throw blanket statements like that around. But that's true of any issue.

More directly to your response to me, I didn't say this particular issue was or wasn't a hardware or software issue...my only point was that since the Nexus S is the only phone to have Gingerbread officially, the line between what is a device problem and what is a GB general software problem are definitely blurred. Any third party builds from the GB source may have had issues fixed on them. I remember from my N1 days that cyanogen often addressed Google bugs in his builds...
[Nexus S General] johoja:
I was referring to the Vibrant. Maybe it only affects that specific model as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819589

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772849

I just think its a little suspicious that they have the very similar issues.

The Vibrant and the Nexus S both have the same baseband platform -

Infineon X-Gold X616 (PMB9801).

Either way. Your right until we actually hear from Google about the issue this is all speculation. Hope they fix it soon :)

Maybe the issue is only present for the phones that have the chipset to handle AWS ( 1700mhz)
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
Now the cellular radio freezing issue I complained is identified as #2? Good!

Hopefully the forthcoming radio ROM will fix this issue.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
That is interesting.

I wonder if it's actually only with those that handle AWS while actually connecting to AWS. As I mentioned in my previous post, my friend is using a Vibrant I setup for him on AT&T and he has no issues like the ones described above.

I think there's just some level of black-magic or voodoo or karma with cell phones; for some of us, few issues, for others, nightmares.:eek:
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
Changed on its own from WCDMA only to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

so i was manually sync-ing my gmails

and all of the sudden i see i was from HSPDA and BAM! it changed to R (roaming)

i was like WTF !!!!!!!!!

so i immediately switched to airplane mode, and back to cycle it to see if it changes back and no, it was still stuck in Roaming mode.

so i ended up manually changing it manually back to WIND from the network selection screen

and then i went to check on *#*#4363#*#* and found out it was not on WCDMA only

which makes it really weird, as i didn't change it at all.

this is the first time it has done that to me.

have any body else seen this problem before?

good thing is, it did not enable data roaming, so hopefully i did not incur any roaming charges, ... i guess i'll see when the monthly Bill arrives
[Nexus S General] willverduzco:
Mine switches occasionally when I lose reception. Like you, I generally keep mine on wcdma only. I have no idea why this phone does this, as it has happened on the stock rom, modaco, and cyanogenmod.

My old Nexus One never did this. Luckily it seems like that problem hasn't happened for me in the last week or two, so it isn't very common.
