Has anybody tried Griffin's miCoach Armband?

http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/adidas-micoach-armband

If it fits the Droid X, it should fit the G2 no? Maybe I'll see if any local stores have this arm band.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
i'm actually looking to see if there is one that might fit the DZ with the otterbox case on it.... since it adds quite abit more bulk to it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bstylz911:
Dang running with the g2 on your arm? Why not just get a ipod nano?

I do have a S9 but when running I still need an arm band so that the phone won't keep shaking in my pocket. The problem now is it's hard to find one fit a G2 with a case.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] alphadog00:
I am wondering 2 things:

1. Would a skin on the back make the phone less slippery?

2. How does the Skinit Atrix skin wrap? Back only? How is the fit? Do wrapped corners unwrap over time?

Anyone that can answer 1 or 2 - comments are appreciated.

I would love to hear about other skins, but please don't tell me how great cases are. I really dislike all cases - I tried the Incipio and the Body Glove - and even their feather light products are to much for me. I am not looking for protection, only more grippiness. And i saw the thread about spraying the back with plastidip.

Anyone try any do-it-yourself solutions with contact paper or vinyl?

Thanks for any skin information anyone has.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] baddison:
I just received my Zagg invisible shield, full body for my atrix, and it certainly does make the device less "slippery" in your hands. I like it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Clienterror:
I did the zagg full body on my cappy, I thought I did good but it started peeling up about a month later :-(
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranphi:
I ordered 2 skins for my Atrix from Skinit.com and was very unhappy with them. The skins just don't cover enough of the back of the Atrix to look nice, IMHO. It just looked like a sticker placed onto the back of the phone, with a good portion of the edges on all sides of the phone not being covered.

I was so unhappy with the way it looked that I ended up not using either of the skins I ordered from them. :(

shokker right?! imagen you loose all rights on the pictures youve taken with your wp7 device..

well you should know that facebook obtains them rights once you upload it to them, but microsoft went a step further. at the moment you shoot the picture, its belongs to, well... it looks like noone, maybe the city? the area? the location?

according to this blog it belongs to MS:

http://msmvps.com/blogs/bill/archive/2010/11/13/htc-mozart-camera-photos.aspx

bill has taken some shots with his new wp7, he noticed a critical bug:

he sais its a joke, a easter egg, it may be lousy programming work

but one thing is clear. this needs a fix. like:

Hello from Seatle, %liveID%

but really, let us choose them tags ourself!
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
really... we're getting this petty now...

you do realise when you upload your phone to facebook, the tags get stripped off?

you can easily get third party tools to strip them off too...
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
yes thats why i just said that you loose the rights to your pictures when you upload them to facebook.

and its not about if i can edit them tags later on,

i simply have to be in control of what data is inside this tag when it gets made.

yes its somewhat funny, and there is no nameclaim in the author tag.

but do you sign postcards with the citys name?

if you smart you include it, but wont sign with it.

its kind of a big deal, and while geotagging is not widely know now,

and maybe is not threated as a feature yet, buts a shame to already

include false information inside of it.

and maybe im not up to point, has anyone mention this befor ?
[General Questions and Answers] culua:
i have a rooted htc evo 4g with a custom fresh rom by flip.

OK here my question. can i update my htc evo from 2.2 to 2.3 without any problem? or it will erase my htc back to stock htc evo? or i have to reinstall everything again?
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
If you're talking about the official update from HTC, you'll have to unroot/get back to stock to update. No one knows when or if that update will come.

As far as custom gingerbread ROMs go, all you'll need to do is a nandroid backup through recovery, wipe, and flash. Shouldn't be any problem there, and if there is you can just restore from your backup.

Just make sure you've read up on the ROM you want to flash so there won't be any surprises when something is incompatible. Also know that there aren't any Sense ROMs on GB yet, so if you're not used to AOSP, you should familiarize yourself with the differences.
[General Questions and Answers] culua:
Ok thank you, Im happy with my phone as it right now. Until then I just wait for updates.

The Old T-Zones $5 plan, Any way to make it work on a Mytouch4G??
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
No, but it would work on a Nexus S, unless you abused the **** out of the plan.

Any T-Mo-branded phone will work for a few hours, until you are prompted to a portal to upgrade your data plan.
[myTouch 4G General] alfadog77:

[myTouch 4G General] pinoyz:
if i remember correctly, i read somewhere that you can use the old $5.99 tzones, but, the phone needs to be unlocked. I can try it out with my brother's sim since it still has the $5.99 on it with my MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] midwestmobile:
I had the old tzones which worked fine with my HD2 and was actually damn fast! I got a mt4g last week and was happy to see it working when i put my sim card in, however 3-4 hours later it started telling me to upgrade. After reading around the web I realized my scheme had run its course and I had to upgrade so now im paying 69.99 instead of 59.99 which really isnt a big deal especially if i dont have to worry about being caught abusing it. plus I have way more minutes now etc... It was fun to know I was using an old obsolete cheap data plan but the packages they offer now are very resonable especially compared to other providers. However if you do get it to work I would be interested in hearing about it, as im pretty sure its possible. Also when I upgraded my data wasnt working for a full day so i finally called and the woman on the phone said, "oh i see whats the problem, let me change this setting really quick then wait a few minutes and it should work". So who knows maybe its just not possible without them activating it on their end.

[Fascinate General] lilbuddy419:
so i just spoke to a verivon rep named sandy. i was looking to get a replacment device. verizon no longer offers warranty replacements they offer you droid x, lg ally, lg vortex. hmmmmm yes thats a FAIR trade
[Fascinate General] xmunk:
As a tech rep I can say this is wrong.only reason we replace with a different device is if we are out of stock
[Fascinate General] lilbuddy419:
well this might aply to me cause i have the white ssf
[Fascinate General] Thacallmehess:
Wasn't the White Fascinate only available though Best Buy? I'd take it there.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Yes, it was Best Buy only, so if you want it replaced under warranty, you'll likely either need to contact Best Buy or Samsung.
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
So what your saying is Verizon can replace your phone, just not give you the limited edition device that you did not buy directly from Verizon, but because you have this super special one of a kind device you expect that company that didn't sell it to you to replace it? I hate to break it to you, but that is one thing that comes with having those one of a kind devices, now mind you, I have the White Fascinate, but if Verizon doesn't have any of those in stock, am I going to be bummed? Sure I am, but am I going to get a my undies in a knot, heck no! I take the fact that they are not the ones that sold the device to me, and take what I can get, but if I really want the white one, I would go to Best Buy or Samsung. Your title is very misleading, should be titled, verizon will not replace my broken limited edition white samsung fascinate
[Fascinate General] Avelnan:
They JUST replaced mine with a Droid 2, but gave me the option for another Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] Hatespawn:
Not to mention, Best Buy offers protection that would have allowed you to get a white one as a replacement if yours couldn't be repaired. If you opted not to get it and use Verizon's insurance or the warranty from Samsung only then you are responsible for that decision and can live with the consequences.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Sorry, but I just have to ask. Why the heck would anyone want a white Fascinate? It will show grime way to easily, and it looks way too much like a certain competing product. Also, I've looked at them in Best Buy, and they just look weird. If the phone was all white, I'd understand, but the way the back is white and the front is still black just looks goofy to me.

Anyway, back on topic, even if they can't replace it with another white one, there shouldn't be any reason at all why they can't replace it with an ordinary black model. If the person you talk to refuses to do so, I would either hang up and call back to get a different tech, or in the case of a retail store setting, either come back another day or find another store. If its urgent to get a replacement immediately, I would demand to speak with the store manager to get some appropriate service. I'm sorry, but there's absolutely no way they can legitimately claim that an LG Ally is an equivalent replacement for a Fascinate.

Sent from XDA Premium on my Super Clean Fascinate
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
I at first would agree with you on why would you want one, when I went into Best Buy, I went in wanting the black one but they were out of stock, and it was a sale for the Fascinate at $50, so overall it didn't matter to me what I got, all I cared about was just getting the device. But now that I have the white one, it looks pretty slick to me, but I personally wouldn't throw a fit if I needed a replacement and they sent me a black one.
[Fascinate General] xmunk:
Yeah if its white we replace with black with back or send you to samsung
[Fascinate General] stayin100:
Working for Verizon I can also say that that is completely bull... Sounds like you talked to a newbie or possibly you were at an indirect dealer and working with some sort of non verizon insurance
[Fascinate General] GrainOsand:
Just call samsung galaxy s support! My wife has the white fascinate and when her phone broke(hardware issue) we had to send it to samsung. The bad news! They had it for over a week and ended up replacing it with a new device. We were told her original phone could not be repaired, but if you ask me I think they lost it. We called them after 3days and they said they would call us back in 24hrs. 3days later we called back and they said they were sending her a new one. Oh well a new one is better.than refurbished anyday. We also bought it at best buy on black friday. It was $0 W/contract.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
Hey guys, I have been told to post this here as I have not made enough posts..

I tried to change my boot animation, by placing the bootanimation.zip file in both /system/media and /data/local and all still plays the Samsung boot logo although with no sound.. So searched through the forums here and everyone tells you that you need a custom rom to get it to work if your phone has the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file...

I then cooked a package from romkitchen and installed that but have the same issue, even though I can see the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ I can also still see the bootsamsung.qmg as well.

I have only just got this phone about a week ago, so have searched thoroughly, in case I was missing something but i don't think I am..

Can someone help me with what’s going on?
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
No one able to help me with this one?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Hm you should easily be able to change bootanimation with the rom kitchen.

Remember that you can not change the white text at the beginning of the boot.

I think the files stay there, they dont get removed, just another one gets used if its present, if not the stock animation will be used.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
Thanks for the reply,

I'm not sure if this helps, I have cooked a new one today and applied and it said to keep this log incase I have issues.

http://romkitchen.org/logs/G0ceUf3inJ.txt

I can see the file is in the folder, it just does not seem to take affect.

I am assuming that people have got these working on i9000's before and it's just me..
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
I still have not managed to get this working, starting to think that I am tripping..

All it seems to do is kill the samsung boot sound.

Anyone else got any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Do you use a stock rom?

This probably doesn't work because your android is not looking for the bootanimation.zip.

Custom ROMs have a modded start up script which tells the system to look for the .zip file.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
I am using a rom from rom kitchen..

I have changed it again since I made post above but still a custom rom..
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:

Did you delete the boot animation file out of system/media,&put the new animation zip AND rename it to the same name as the one you deleted?
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
I have tried selecting the bootanimation from RK, and also downloading one from elsewhere and replacing the one that is there.

Both have the same effect..
[General Questions and Answers] joseph2365:
Weird,I had trouble switching mine too. The only way I've been able to do it is using the app called File Explorer. It's like 10 dollars on the market, but I found it for free. I put the new zip on my card, then file explorer/system/media, delete the boot animation zip,paste the new zip & rename it to the name of the zip that was there. It's worked every time. Flashing a new splash screen is a little different....
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
I will try this again now and see how i go..

Just to clarify the splash screen is the white text right?

I am not trying to change that just the colored samsung animation.
[General Questions and Answers] joseph2365:
The splash screen is the first screen you see when you turn your phone on. It doesn't move, & most often just says the name of the phone. Then the boot animation comes on, it moves & plays some kind of music. Do you have file explorer? If not, don't buy it,I can help you get it for free.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
I have Root Explorer that I use to access that location.

I have tried another bootanimation from this spot -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905538

I tried both of the sizes for the AndroidParticles2 and set the permissions to rw-r-r

(Renaming to bootanimations.zip and placing in system\media)

but still the samething happens.
[General Questions and Answers] joseph2365:
Yeah, my bad,I meant Root Explorer. But it had to be bootanimation.zip take the s off
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
Sorry typo, I don't have the s on my i9000.
[General Questions and Answers] joseph2365:
Well that's how I change mine. I did download a particle ring android (blue) and couldn't get it to work right. Seems to me like you're doing everything right. There's one other option I know of. Download a free program called android flasher.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

You should be able to flash boot animations & splash screens with no problem. It is a .rar, so if you don't have the program you'll need to download winrar or something similar to extract & install the files. Google it, the program is free.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAwkward:
It appears to just be for the Desire..

Thanks for your help today, at least I know now that I wasn't just doing something stupid.
[General Questions and Answers] dylandylan1:
I managed to get my own boot animation working on my Galaxy S i9000 both with Stock 2.2 and with KitchenRom 2.3.4 Hardcore Speedmod.

After much trial and error this is what I did:

Rename these files (eg add .old to the end)

'/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg'

'/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg'

'/system/bin/samsungani'

Then copy

'/system/bin/bootanimation'

to somewhere, rename it to 'samsungani'

then copy it to '/system/bin'

Now place your 'bootanimation.zip' in '/system/media'

and try it out (restart phone)

If that doesn't work try renaming 'bootanimation.zip' to 'sanim.zip'

Good Luck

[G Tablet Accessories] wtang:
I bought this Encase 10" neoprene case from Amazon for $11 (including shipping). It fits the GTab like a glove. It matches the GTab horizontal and vertical measurements perfectly. The only problem is I also bought official Malata Zpad leather case and I prefer it over the neoprene case. I find that I'm leaving my GTab in the Malata case all the time. Basically, the neoprene case is great if you like holding and using your GTab "naked". The Malata case is nice if you're anal like me and prefer to have your GTab protected all the time.

If anyone is interested, I'm selling the neoprene case for $9 with free shipping. It's brand new and even has a tag attached. My eBay ID is planetswap if anyone wants to check me out first.

This has probably been asked before, but is there anyway to change the background colour of the call screen to black rather than white?

I drive a lot, and when I make a call, or a call comes in, if it is at night I get a lot of glare from the screen, and using a darker background would be a huge help.

Even if somebody could give me the correct filename for the image I need to change, I could alter it to suit myself.
