[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leehopley:
oh im not knocking the HD2 :) i had one for over a year, its an amazing phone... but if you want the qwerty board then the desire z or g2 is the android phone for you :)

hd2 is the best if you want to mod it the most... as i said, it has the most development focus at the moment. :)

the one thing i didnt like about it was the lack of rom memory, unless its the 1gb tmob edition, although you could use apps2sd to get around this :D!!

it all depends what you want out of a phone.. for the best phone that can run all the differend mobile os platforms.. HD2, for a mobile thats stable, has decent hardware and has a qwerty then the desire z or g2 if the phone for you... i dont see a slot for the desire hd really... i believe the hd2 is far better than the desire hd as it has more development around it :)

battery life with my desire z is around 30 hours... with my hd2 i easily got 48 :P

choice is yours (Y)

[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
So, long story short...

I was stupid enough to drive off from a parking lot with my phone on top of the roof of the car.

Returned some time later to circle the parking lot, looking for it with no luck. Figured it must have held on through some turns due to the rubber corners, so I left the lot and retraced my route, leading back to a main street. Crawling at 10 mph at 2 o'clock in the morning, I held on to the hope that I would spot it.

Seeing a black object on the side of the road, I pulled over thinking I'd finally found it... only to discover it was someone else's expensive smartphone! As you can see from the pictures below, I think it's a Motorola Droid X with the screen smashed to bits.

Disheartened, but still not giving up, I kept driving. A couple of blocks down, I saw another black object and stopped in the middle of the road. It was the Otterbox's soft inner case... a few feet away from it I found the naked Inspire, and its battery. As you can imagine, I was already quite happy at this point.. but I couldn't see if the phone worked or not without the battery cover. So I made a u-turn, circled around twice, and found my battery cover as well as the Otterbox's outer shell, which was squished on the sides, with some of them flattened.. obviously run over by a car.

Back in the car, I inspected my phone (no scratches on the screen, some scrapes at the corners and around the lens, but all cosmetic), popped the battery in, and it didn't boot. I realized that I'd put the battery in the wrong way, and tried again. White screen, HTC logo, and CM7 boot! My phone had just survived falling from the roof of my car and being run over by another one.

Moral of the story is.. HTC build quality rocks and the Commuter is an awesome case! If it could do this for my phone, the Defender would pretty much render it indestructible.

PS I salvaged the 16gb microsd card from the Motorola and upgraded my 8gb one! Lmao.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdessert:
got any pictures of the inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] timjc:
ditto, wanna see how the phone itself fared.
[HTC Inspire 4G] egyan:
ROFL dude that's awesome I would've done the same.

Glad to know the Otterbox cases live up to their name!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
Damage Report:

As you can see, the scratched areas are the corners and the lens (only the rim, not the glass!).. which are the only areas the Commuter's hard shell doesn't fully cover.

It seems as if the phone had shed the silicone skin before the corner damage occurred, as the skin seems to be unharmed.. that might have prevented some or most of them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bahairus:
Not bad! Thanks for sharing because I have been considering that case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Askal007:
Glad to have gotten the same case and I really do like the case personally the first time I put it on. Thanks for sharing your story mate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] civilian_pr0ject:
haha awesome, i love the fact that you actually found another misfortunate smartphone first!

That's really g great to see commuters are the best !

I have ordered mine but oos at amazon :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] rodanjeff:
Just got my phone this past Friday and I'm looking into getting accessories for it. Thank you for this post as it helped me decide which case to get now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GrandAdmiral:
It'll be nice if Otter actually have some in stock for people that are looking to buy it. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
I think they get new stock every few days. I tried to order a new one the night of the incident with no luck. The next afternoon, they were back in stock and I got my order in.

Sent from a telegraph station somewhere in northern Russia.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Sorry to hear about your accident Pheno.menon but look at the brightside, you have your phone intact with little to no damage.

Wow, good to see the case I bought a week prior to buying my Inspire does its job.

Bite the bullet and buy the Otterbox Commuter everyone, looking at mine now and am more than satisfied by the protection as well & the styling it gives the already beautiful phone.

I'm always in an attempt to keep it that way.

I know this is not the streak thread but hey i read them all! I must say the commuter is for real i dropped my streak from over six feet it bounced a couple times then slid on the concrete all i could think was well there went that phone i was sick because some peoples have been broken from way less. Anyway to get to the point no damage at all otterbox commuter a+++++++++++ a must have.

"I found my pho- ...psych. Just a droid x. Psh"
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
This thing turns a thin sexi phone into a BEAST. I guess it's all about how you treat your phone... if you're one to drop the phone, yeah, you need this, and it's worth having it turned into a thick beast of a phone for the protection, but if you're careful and not 12 years old, a standard case or no case is just fine.

It never ceases to amaze me that people buy slim\sleek phones, then put a big ol case on it... total waste. If it breaks it breaks. If you're that prone to destroying phones, get insurance. Not worth ruining the aesthetics of the phone.

I'm also baffled as to what would cause a car to run over a phone. I guess the same pool of people as end up on Judge Judy and Jerry Springer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] poriggity:
I think this thread just helped me make my decision on cases!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah, I regularly use my phone as chock blocks for my car, so yeah... rolls eyes.

That is amazing, you should submit the pics to otterbox for advertising in exchange for a new case :)

Thanks man. Of all the places i forget to check newegg for them. Nice find i can finally order them now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homescrub:
Why on earth would anyone buy the commuter case? Getting the defender case is by all means the only case that carriers should sell. Never thought people would think to buy the lesser protective version over the Defender. Worth the extra $20 if you ask me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] user602:
+1

...The Defender case for my Inspire just came in the mail today, so I expect (at least) this level of protection should the situation arise. Cool story and great pics.

Thanks for sharing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Focustom:
lol Dude I've had both the defender and the commuter for my iphones and it's a deference between a brick that is a pita to pull out of your pocket and a very protective pocket friendly slim case. Unless you drop your phone on a daily basis I really don't see the need for the defender IMHO. The commuter is an amazing case that can take a beating too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Numpangx:
My commuter case just came today. It's more then enough protection including the screen protector it comes with. I'm loving the feel and size of it. Doesn't add too much bulk or weight to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
I have submitted a review to their website with a link to this thread, doesn't seem to be up there yet though.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel.. nothing fancy.

Thanks!

I suck at rapping XD

I was going to order my second one from Newegg too but theirs came back in stock almost a week after Otterbox did.. just got my new case today.

Don't have any experience with the Defender, but the Commuter seems like more than enough for daily hazards, without the added extra bulk.

ps: installing screen protectors drunk is something I would not recommend to anyone. It took me 10 minutes to realize that I hadn't been flattening the air bubbles from the protector, but just from the peel-off. Rofl :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] jessehclark:
lol breakdown:

casemate tough = $15. insurance = $7/month or so plus $50 deductible.

case=no interruption, no data loss. replacement phone = annoying, lose data. bare phone = sexy phone with case....still ****ing sexy 4.3" screen

more importantly

jewelery and clothes = fashionable accessories

cell phone = powerful helpful device i use to make business happen, make money, get paid.

ps he sort of clearly explained that he accidentally left his phone on his car, it fell off, and a car driving in the street, like they do, ran it over. sort of happens all the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ethere:
I've had my Inspire now for 4 days and just yesterday picked up the Otterbox Commuter case for it. It definitely is the best case I've ever owned for a phone. It keeps the look of the phone pretty much the same....still SEXY :) No fears of dropping it now after seeing this post.

Are the chances slim on future android updates being ported to the tab? I honestly dont give a hoot about the honeycomb UI or anything.

Just would like some of the neat features that come out in the new updates. Like native SIP support, etc.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I really wish we would stop getting these threads!

The fact that A.N.Other device has a half-baked Honeycomb port that mostly doesn't work isn't really of any interest bar intellectual curiosity. Unless a device ships that has Honeycomb, and very similar hardware to the Tab, there is little point attempting to port a ROM to the Tab because it simply won't work well enough to be a daily driver.

We won't see proper working Honeycomb ROMs for non-Honeycomb devices until the source code for Honeycomb drops into AOSP. I would imagine we'd see a concerted development effort on the Tab at that point.

Regards,

Dave

Hy to all,

my Nexus S one day decide to not power on at all!

SYMPTOMS:

- black screen

- power button doesn't do anything (also phone not vibrate)

- no button combination boots to download mode

- no charghing indication when connected to charger or USB

- no detection in the computer when connected to the USB

After some days without battery, the problem persists:

NEW SYMPTOMS:

- when plugged on computer usb port, Windows 7 start to find Sec S5pc110 Test B/D driver

In a formum of Bada (I now is not my phone) Samsung support tells that can be the bootloader broken!!

Someone can help me to solve my problem!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Well, did you do anything to it before this started? Anything like flash some new rom, or the OTA or similar?

There was another dude a few days ago who reported his phone was bricked and described similar symptoms to yours, but it turned out his issue was just a totally discharged battery that wouldn't start taking a charge until he forced it with some homemade 9-volt battery thing. You might try a different battery if you can obtain one.

The only other thing, besides warranty repair, might be to get the 301k resistor jig and use Odin to flash a new bootloader image to the phone, per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947950

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisofsie:
Hi there,

I'm having a problem with my Desire HD, its been rebooting itself occasionally, maybe once every 2-3 hours. I've got the latest recovery and latest radio, I've tried other ROMs and I'm still having this problem, other than that, it's great, so smooth and fast!

Can anyone help please?!

I'm very new to all this so please be patient. :)

Radio version is -26.04.02.17_M2

Cyanogen Version is: CyanogenMod-7-03022011-NIGHTLY-DesireHD

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thank you in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
Try the cm7 release candidate 1 as that is more stable and not as buggy.....same thing really as nightly very minor changes aesthetically.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisofsie:
Right okay i will do. I had the exact same problem on the RC1 aswell .. But I'll try that and let you know..

Thanks for your help :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Before flashing whatever you settle on, be sure to wipe /cache /dalvik-cache and /system from within clockwork recovery as it may be left over chaff in the directories causing the instability, BEWARE though this will wipe all your user data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisofsie:
Yeah I will do,

Thanks Pal
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
It might be a hardware problem. I know there has been issues with the sim card slot. Make sure your sim is in securely and even secure it with a small piece of card or paper jammed in with it. This solved the problem on my friend's dhd. Hope this works for you. Please post your results.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisofsie:
Hi there everyone, just a quick update.

None of the other roms iv tried seem to be having an effect, and as for the memory card and sim issue.. Im doubtful as it never had any issues before i rooted it and put cyanogen on it.. my next step is to try a different radio.

Does anyone have any other suggestions??

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisofsie:
Also i forgot to mention, it only appears to reboot when i recieve a message, but, only when there's a message and i havent opened it or unlocked it, when its been there for 5-10 minutes, then i'll press the unlock buttin and that's when it'll reboot. But it only ever does this when i press the unlock button..

Don't know if that's significant or not..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogstr1:
yeah, ive also noticed that it reboots ever as often..

i didnt take it on until i read this post..

also what ive noticed is that when it reboots, my keyboard setting goes back to default i.e. from swiftkey (which i have to set after it boots) to the android keyboard..

did anyone else come across this?. any suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky.92:
Hi having a little problem with my phone, ive taken it to a few shops and neither could fix it.

ill tell you what i did, i s-off'd my device and it worked well but i didnt like the joker boot splash so i reflashed clockwork mod recovery in hope it would get rid and it did, then i wanted to partition my SD card but realised you couldnt do it through that recovery so i went back to the alpharev recovery! partitioned my sd card and flashed Defrost 6.0k which id had running before the hd rom i had on, i then rebooted my phone and it got stuck in boot loop for some reason? i removed the battery booted into fastboot and it just came up with a blank black screen so i removed the battery again put it back in and tada no power? no led when on charge? any help would be appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
How long have you left it plugged into the charger for? Leave it for about 10 minutes and see if you get any joy with the led.

If that does work, you may have the USB brick. I'm just clutching at straws at the minute though!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky.92:
i have left it on charge all night still absolutely nothing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Do you get any response when you plug it into a computer? Can you see it using adb?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alorayou:
Me too...

My Desire stopped also working today. Practically same symptoms...

In my case the origin is different, I was on Adamg Oxygen 2.0.1. and loaded the latest kernel from Thalamus 2.6.37 R5. All good, the phone was working for a few hours without issues. Went to sleep and left the phone charging (as usual).

This morning the phone was off, no way to turn it on. No led on charging (probably because batt is full). I can see the leds (green/orange) when on charge and batt off, but it doesnt start, no way to force start to recovery (power+vol-down), no view from laptop via adb, in fact it doesnt even identify the device, which I guess is natural if the device is not starting.

Needless to say that any ideas are more than welcome...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
I'm not an expert but it might be dead battery aswell, no idea why people leave their phones charging all night long.. i charge my Desire from about 10% to full in like 1 hour. :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -fluffy-:
u need to take out the batt an see if u can charge it whitout using the phone to charge it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alorayou:
First, thanks for taking the time to reply...

For reference, the batt is full, I checked it with a voltimeter and it is good.

I discharged the batt a bit as well, but so far nothing works...

So not a problem with dead batt...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky.92:
Ive tried charging without the battery in too, no sign of life!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alorayou:
For further reference in case anyone is interested.

Battery is charged (tried with another mobile which started without issue).

I also used the batt from another unit in this "dead" one and same behavior, i.e. no turn on, etc.

Only behavior I can easily replicate:

Phone is off, no charger, batt is removed. Now I place the batt in and connect the charger, the orange lef comes up as if it were charging.

When I press the power button (or the VOL-Down with Power), the led goes off and stays off, the only way to go back to seeing the orange led again is to again, remove batt and charger cable, and then putting again back the batt and the charger (in that order).
[Gen8 General] lucidman:
I would have posted this on the bugs topic for UrukDroid but it seems new users can't post replies there.

I noticed after upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7, the stock video player is now crashing when accessing any video files over SMB. There is no issue for video files stored on the internal flash or microSD. This is on my A101. There are two ways to find the issue:

1. With the stock video player, as soon as I navigate to an SMB shared folder that contains a video file, the video player app crashes. This is before even trying to play the file.

2. With Astro, I navigate to an SMB shared folder with video files. When I try to play the video file with the stock player, it crashes

This happened immediately after going from 0.6 to 0.7. Playing videos over SMB is about the only thing I do on the A101, so I noticed it pretty quick. Problem persists after a couple of reboots.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Gen8 General] pki101:
Just tested using UrukDroid 0.7, Archos 101 16gb + 16gd sdcard, default file browser and default video player connected to d-link dns-320 nas.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I managed to get it working again by going to settings->applications->manage applications->all, clicking on video and then clicking Clear Data. The problem has returned once aleady, but this does fix it again.
