[myTouch 4G Accessories] excarnate:
I had the T-Mobile 2-part case, and I cut out the volume and power buttons on the flexible part because they pressed too easily. Now that I have the Otterbox (which has enough rubber around the screen to protect it, unlike the old one) I find the buttons sticking out actually work well. Not sure why, but I'm happy about it.

The previous case had started cracking in the white piece.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChristoA1:
I know I'm kinda resurrecting this, but as I'm about to get a MT4G this Tuesday (free upgrade, no new contract ;)) I'm curious: If you got a extended battery, wouldn't it make the OB not fit?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] fastredponycar:
if the extended battery requires a larger back panel that bulges out more than the stock back panel, no it won't work.

with that said, after nearly 4 months with mine, I really like it and it's hard to imagine using the phone without it. the marginally extra bulk the case added was very easy to get used to and regarding it's protective qualities, after some scary drops onto concrete and pavement/parking lots, I can happily say that the phone is totally unscathed.

I know I balked at the price initially but after seeing complete protection in drops that I'm almost certain would not have bode well for the cheaper gel sleeves, I would say that the extra $ was worth the investment.

I've also been using the REALOOK screen protector I got off amazon and absolutely love it. If applied correctly (which is easier than the otterbox screen protector) it's virtually invisible and feels silky smooth as if it's not even there (i.e. not like a rubbery or sticky film protector)

[myTouch 4G Accessories] ChristoA1:
What did you think of the fishbone case you mentioned in another thread? I've gone ahead and ordered one... I like OB as well (Introduced to them back in my Blackberry days), but the red/black fishbone just appealed to me wayyy too much :D
[myTouch 4G Accessories] fastredponycar:
never tried the fishbone. it was backordered so I just cancelled the order.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] estallings15:
I second that. The Otterbox case was the best thing i ever did for my MT4G.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] vento|in:
I recently got the MyTouch 4G, an OB case, and BestSkinsEver skin. The OB is only $19.99 shipped via Newegg. hxxp://goo.gl/N1gkM The BestSkinsEver skin is only about $10 shipped for whole body skin protector. hxxp://goo.gl/uSKQM Just thought I'd share for anyone looking to protect their smartphone.

Is the case a lint magnet?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] fastredponycar:
the rubber part on the top/bottom of the phone are but wipes off just as easy.

I first want to say...Awesome site....and the developers here are very gracious for what they give...I am expecting my tablet to arrive any minute and is wondering what would be my best route at this point for a rom being that it will be new and have no data should i just go ahead and go for the tntl 5.0 or maybe a older version thanks for any responses..
[HD2 General] TonyCubed:
Basically, first things first, if there are any Vodafone users in the UK that uses their time servers, can you tell me if you are getting the correct time? Because when I select it, it's always 2 weeks behind for some reason.

Secondly, whenever I pull my battery (for whatever reason), doesn't matter if it's WP7, Android etc, my clock messes up and I need to re-adjust my time and dates.

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem?
[HD2 General] pepi83:
hi..... i have the same problem like yours.... in andoid or wp7... i´m not using wm6.5

and for now... set time to automatic doesn´t work. if i set the time manually it setup manually after freezes or restarts...

sorry i have no solution for this...
[HD2 General] btbergman:
same issue... the time does not "re-sync".

noticed that if I have it connected / plugged in when I remove the battery (to change the SIM) the issues does not happen.

sorry, no solution

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiro100:
Hi folks,

I have Desire HD branded from Tmobile Germany (CID is TMOB101), and I'd like to know, from where it downloading system updates? From HTC (official ROM), or from Tmobile (customized ROM, because of CID value)?

When I unpacked new phone and turn it on, it offered me an update to 2.2.1. From where it download the software update?

And when I was trying to flash an official ROM from HTC (from xdafil.es, WWE version), it stop ad the wrong device ID (or something similar). It has because the CID value?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Yes you have a branded CID so can only apply tmob updates and ruu's, if you eng s-off your device you will get superCID and can apply any uodate or rom :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiro100:
And can be downloaded that operator customized RUU's (Tmobile) somewhere?

I have searching on tmobile.de website, but found nothing. Or is somwhere on the net information about this customized updates?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Google shipped roms, maybe they have it :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiro100:
Great site, thanks.

There is some Desire HD (Ace) ROMs, but not customized. Maybe they add them in time :-)

May i suggest in my and your intrest to use my link for signing up at Dropbox.

This will give both you and me more storage space ;) ! Thanks.

There is also an app that lets you photograph files on your desktop which will then get downloaded to your phone, i can't remember its name atm though...

Will update when i remember it....

[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
i got it too and will try it :D
[XPERIA X8 General] screeny2:
i got the same, but didnt want to try it...still wondering what update this could be
[XPERIA X8 General] JasoX:
Wrong section. Should be posted in general since this has nothing to do with development.

To answer your question: If it says there is a update, then there is a update. Just download and install it. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
i've installed it, but it's 2.1.1.a.0.6, so it appears maybe because of modified software ??? :(((
[XPERIA X8 General] zvorkapic.os:
Most likely. My default SE system shows no updates. Cheers
[XPERIA X8 General] cuecak:
so,, no new update i guess... i use original and modified it...
[XPERIA X8 General] st3inadler:
maybe it depends on the region whether you get the update or not?

cauz i got the update 2 days before it was posted here
[XPERIA X8 General] kiran1991(Clandestine):
It's simply because SE suite compares the original firware with the latest firmware database, and yeah, when your software is modified (even by yourself) SE recognizes it as firmware other than the latest one (the NOT-modified version)... and Voila, you get a fake update notification, just to chill your bones! :p

[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
Hello guys!

In about a week I'm going to the VIP launch event of the new Xperia-line in Brussels. I'll be able to extensively test the new phones and ask questions about them. If there is anything you want to know or want me to try out, please let me know in this topic.

It's Wednesday the 23'd, so you still have some time!

Ambroos
[Xperia Arc General] leonpeeon:
Hey :)

I'd like to know how all the basic applications are on the Arc, compared to HTC's. I'm talking about the dialer, contacts, calendar, clock and also Facebook integration... those things. I like HTC's, and I don't really like the stocks Android ones, so I'm wondering... No one really looks at those in reviews so far.

And I don't suppose you could install LauncherPro one the phone hehe...

Thanks, and have fun!
[Xperia Arc General] exchequer598:
Many of us would like to know if the bootloader on the new Xperia phones will be locked. The true USP of Android is it's infinite customizability. Why does SE lock down their bootloaders?

EDIT: Also, I've read about a lot of lag on the Xperia Neo, during homescreen transitions and such. Can you please confirm if this is true? And if yes, how much would you rate it on the annoyance-meter?

EDIT #2: A lot of questions for you! :-D Does SE have any update schedule in place? How long will it take for them to deliver a point release update to their devices once Google releases it?
[Xperia Arc General] unknown13x:
I guess I can answer those question for you.

1. Bootloader - It will be locked as always. There's no point in trying to convince them, as other companies are now following SE in signing their bootloader and locking it. It is not encrypted anymore, so there's no argument on blaming just SE that locks their bootloader.

2. The neo's video that we saw was running on an older firmware. I have a more current firmware, and it is lagless. I have mentioned that there's a small spike when you have massive amount of widgets that requires information from the internet, and it's been the same on all handsets, not just SE phones. There should be a video of it running lagless soon. I'll be sure to update on that.

3. There's an update planned. Cannot say much since Google hasn't announced anything yet, but it's planned :)
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I can answer 1 and 2 for you already, I suppose. The bootloader will be locked, definately. There is no reason for Sony Ericsson not to lock it, and my guess is many other companies will be locking their bootloaders too pretty soon. The lag will probably be gone. If you look at reviews of the retail units on YouTube (they're rare, but they're there) you can easily tell everything is extremely smooth, even the widget overview thing!

On the update schedule - will definately try to get details of that!
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
find out how much RAM there is on the phones (especially Neo :P ) !
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
I think it's 512MB on all phones, but I'll make sure to check it!
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
thanks a lot man :)
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
Make sure to get the exact retail price in euros for the European market :)
[Xperia Arc General] Blomkungen:
Ask them about USB-OTG
[Xperia Arc General] youtube10:
Playstation Certified?

Please ask if it is Playstation Certified as well. It has the exact same processor and GPU of the Xperia play, so it'll be a little annoying if SE does not allow it to run the Playstation Pocket app.

If it will play the games, I am pretty much sold on this device, especially since the games will be optimized for the Adreno 205 GPU.

EDIT: If you can find a ballpark figure for the price in US dollars that would be swell, it doesn't matter if it's in Euros either.
[Xperia Arc General] Blomkungen:
the certification will probably involve physical controllers
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I think if it was PS certified they would have already said so.
[Xperia Arc General] catastrat:
+1 to that. I agree that when it comes to the wholesome experience, nothing beats Sense. Android stock simply sucks on integration experience - dialer, home screen, calendar, synchronization, weather animation and so on.
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
I read a few unconfirmed statements (supposedly from Qualcomm) on the internet about SE employing newer optimised video drivers for the Adreno 205 chip in their new Xperia line.

This would make sense considering how they are pushing gaming with the Play, which uses the same hardware as the Arc. We all know that the Adreno 205 chip with the current drivers will come up short against most of the existing competition in 3D gaming performance, and that's not to mention the stuff coming out later this year. Better drivers won't make it a winner but it would likely create a very noticeable difference.

Again though, this is no more than a rumour. Confirmation of this would be great!
[Xperia Arc General] xilw3r:
Yes please ! new drivers please !
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
So, I just came back from the event, many interesting things, will post them tomorrow (tired)!

Also, look what they gave to everyone who was there :D

[LG Optimus 2x] londahl:
Just requested the code from LG-Denmark and pointed out that much of the code falls under the GPL.

Awaiting reply.

In Denmark a couple of DTH providers almost ended in court because they didn't release the source for their STB's running linux.

I hope this will make LG-Denmark take the request seriously.

I think we should all request it, if they recieve alot af requests, they will have to respond.
[LG Optimus 2x] SquiZoNes:

[G Tablet General] Da_Sheezy:
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to member 'goodintentions':

"The 10 bucks thing is still on. You need to go to their website and then a popup asks you for your email. Give it to them, confirm it, and they will send you a $10 discount."

so, $339 and holding!

I have scored what may be the best "new condition" GTab price yet!

So, you can get a $10 credit just for liking Tigerdirect.com's facebook page

(you will need to have a facebook account... but who doesn't at this point)

I clicked the "like" button, entered my email address, and shortly thereafter

received my $10 credit via email...

I initially searched their site for a $10 gadget that I could score for free...

but found nothing I really liked...

Then I figured I better check to see if they carry GTab's and for how much...

They have it listed for the typical $369...

so with my $10 credit I was looking at $359 with free shipping

which was not a bad start... but then I noticed on sales page for the GTab:

(apparently I am too new to post links here...

so just search "viewsonic g tab" at tigerdirect.com)

there is a $20 extra savings coupon code listed right there "HSN23053"

Naturally I assumed they could not be combined...

but it turns out that they can be combined...

now my total was $339... with free shipipng, and since I live in CA

NO TAX too!

How could I not click the "order" button

So there you have it... anyone holding out for a price drop should stop holding out and take advantage of this deal before that $20 coupon code disappears!

I even took a screenshot for the non-believers.
[G Tablet General] Weaseal:

Looks like this FB thing is expired, but another way to do it for about the same price (even a little cheaper) is to got to ebates.com and get 3% by going to tigerdirect from there. I use them all the time and have gotten several payments back using their site. A G-tablet for less than $339 is a steal!

[G Tablet General] johnzm:
they had some cpn codes on slickdeals where if u ordered something and applied the code, it gave u a free dvd player(actually the cpn code i might have found on retailmenot.com). well i walked into the store and asked if they can build my order there, and they said yes, but the dvd player code did not work in store. we went online and it worked there, so they looked to see if they could give me the model dvd player, but had none in stock.

so i asked him to credit me the difference of the value of the dvd player, which he did and i picked up the case as well.

you guys gotta learn how to play the system better ;)

*edit* actually playing with the cpn code now, it only gives 30 off instead of the 50 i got. i guess its somewhat of a dead deal compared to the op's post)

[G Tablet General] cmscritic:
If i had a choice between a gtablet, xoom or notion ink adam.. would the gtab be the better bang for the buck?
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Considering the price, I really think gtab is the better bang for the buck. Right now at this moment, I can get a brand new one for 330. And the tablet itself all the tests have shown that the gtab is not that far off from the xoom or the notion ink.

The only cool thing that I'd miss on the gtab compared to the notion ink adam is the gps.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
I'd sure hope so, it's the same hardware, minus 512MB of RAM (which doesn't matter for Android currently, as each app is limited to a tiny amount of RAM).

For anyone with an Android phone, all the other "goodies" that are not in the GTab are not an issue. Tethering to your phone gets you GPS and internet connectivity. At a normal price of $350 (without playing weird pass through rebate schemes), it's a real tough argument to try and sell a Xoom.
[G Tablet General] Da_Sheezy:
Gotta Love Craigslist!

If you had your data connection on and phone was on 3G, especially if signal where you were isn't great, this is about the right standby time for this phone... disabling data and switching to 2G (where possible) makes huge difference, roughly 2x increase in standby time.
