The exact same thing happened to me last night. Phone was at about 15% battery and i had just plugged it in to charge and I got the "corrupted" message. Hit the power button like the screen said and I got another error screen. After that it booted up fine and no issues since. Phone is a week...

My old civic had a curved and textured dash and was incredibly difficult to find a suction mount that actually held. Enter iOttie. These mounts typically have a soft and sticky suction mount that will adhere to almost any surface. I picked up the "easy flex 2" which has served me well for a...

Part 2 is up! w4NOBfKrq9I

Hey gang, Managed to grab myself a Moto 360 at my local Best Buy. Gave it the ol' unboxing treatment and put it up on youtube for your viewing pleasure! Let me know if you have any specific questions or comments (here or on youtube) and I will offer whatever insight that I can. Enjoy! gRDBd2oF3K0

The cutout is indeed very slightly off. Thankfully it's not enough to trigger any OCD on my part. Personally I like the slightly larger black border, adds a nice contrast to my white N5. This TPU feels a bit stiffer than others I have used in the past, too. I have had this case on my phone for...

See my post on page 2. This case wont scratch the phone just by itself but it's still possible for dirt and things to work their way in. The Rinkge Slim is TERRIBLE with scratching the phone. The Fusion is MUCH gentler on the device.

I can confirm that none of the cases reviewed seem capable of scratching the phone just by themselves. As with most cases, however, it is possible for small pieces of dirt and debris to get into the case and may cause small scratches or slight wear. I had my old GS2 in a SGP (Spigen) TPU case...

Here's an extra picture comparing the power/speaker/mic cutouts on the Spigen (top) vs the Ringke (bottom).

I did not notice a gap on my Spigen case though I may have just overlooked it. I left the case at work so I will have to get back to you on that. I'll upload pictures once I get a chance to check it out. *UPDATE* There is almost no gap on my Spigen case. My version of the case clearly has an...

Thanks! I am VERY happy with the Ringke case. It must be the updated case since I have had ZERO problems with the buttons. It's nice to see the manufacturer incorporate the aftermarket "fix" and improve their product. If Supcase does the same thing then I might have to give them a second try. I...

Pictures! (higher res pictures attached) Group shots: Spigen: Rearth: Supcase:

Made up a quick video review to compare 3 of the top hybrid cases for the Nexus 5. I had a real hard time finding just the right case for this phone and purchased a couple real duds before discovering I liked the hybrid style. (I tried another Ringke case and a chinese Cimo knockoff) Video...

Hey gang, I've got a bit of a conundrum here. I'm the lucky owner of a Nexus 5 and it's a terrific phone. Problem is, my first love was the Moto X. I went with the N5 because it was cheaper off-contract as I currently have NET10. I'm still a little bummed that I didn't get the Moto X and I'm...

Whoops! Just realized this should go in Q&A. Please ignore!

I noticed that my Ringke Slim has a lanyard hole but it's on the bottom right. It's a VERY thin hard case but it's not grippy enough for my taste. http://www.amazon.com/RELEASE-PERFECT-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B00FN7S2CS

I'm also looking for something with a rubberized texture. I got the Ringke Slim case and it has such a feathery smooth finish that I'm constantly worrying about the phone slipping out of my pocket. It's even difficult to get a decent grip if my hands are the least bit dry (which is all the time...

Add my name to the list of available testers please! Orange or black preferred but really I'd test anything for you guys. :)

Awww shucks.. that's what I figured. Well, thanks for a great ROM anyway!

Great ROM, breathes fresh life into my TP. Just one question, can I completely remove cornerstone and get wallpapers back? Are wallpapers locked out somehow or do I simply need to remove cornerstone with tibu or something similar? Many thanks!

SEXIEST. ROM. EVER. Switched over from AOKP as soon as i saw this ROM. I was a huge fan of the serendipity ROMs for the Captivate and it feels great to be back. Mikey, you're the most awesome thing since free internet porn and fried lasagna at the Olive Garden (seriously, you gotta try it). I...

As far as i know, these tweaks will only work with WebOS since they are all software based. Imagine it like dual booting your own computer, anything you install or any settings you change on operating system A will not affect operating system B. Only hardware changes will persist between both...

I had a similar problem with a corrupt microSD card, it kept trying to initialize and then would fail over and over again. It was a HUGE drain on my battery. A quick backup/format helped resolve the issue. GL

So i updated to version 2.1.1 and i and having the same problem as a couple others, i cannot connect SNS accounts. I downloaded and applied the SNS "fix" zip and whenever i try to sync my account i get a message saying that it can't connect and to try again later. Any tips on this? If this were...

I was able to successfully clear my counter by using a home made jig. I used the same exact jig that i used for my captivate and i was able to get into download mode with no issues at all. My counter is now clear and i'm back to flashing (the correct way!). I followed the instructions in this...

So i wasn't able to let the phone idle last night because it wasn't fully charged before i went to bed. However, i just let it sit idle while i was at work for the last 4 hours (after a full charge + reboot) so these results might still be of some use. Time up: 4 hours Deep Sleep: 94% Battery...

Thats some pretty amazing battery life there, did you actually use your phone at all during that time? I can get maybe two days of battery off my phone if i baby it or about 16 hours if i use it a lot. Share your usage information so we can put that battery life into perspective. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I will try again tonight after a full charge/reboot and i will be sure to have my wifi off. Should i wipe all stats also or is there any reason to keep my current stats?

So i gave this a shot last night and here's what i found, Phone was charged to 100% before i unplugged it and went to bed, ie. no usage. Wifi was turned on, no GPS or bluetooth, and very bad reception at home (~100dBm). Time up: 9.5 Hrs Deep Sleep: 70% Battery drain: 30% (70% remaining in the...

Updating the kernel seems to have fixed my wifi issue. I'll keep a close eye on it for now just in case. Now i am having another problem, my SD card seems to be removing itself over and over. Its been happening all day and every time it gets removed the phone redetects it and scans it for...

I am having similar problems. When running off of the cellular network i have no problems with my data connection. As soon as i switch on wifi however, a lot of my push notifications wont work. I have tried to connect on various networks (2 at work, 3 outside of work) and every time it shows...

I second all of the above. These plus the weird no-ip-on-wifi issue are the only things that bug me about this rom. Oh, and not being able to sync my sns contact birthdays with my calendar. Would reinstalling social hub fix that?

I was heavily considering the Rearth Ringke but i read about some people having trouble with the case splitting apart on them due to small drops (see the Ringke thread here) and i decided to go with the SGP Ultra Capsule instead. I might also pick up the TPU-Case from Amazon just for the sake of...

Take a look at the first post. The pictures show that there is just a tiny bit of clearance for the camera. Maybe not enough to satisfy some people, but it at least its something.

Is that the inner silicone liner for the neo hybrid? It looks like the tear happened on the little indent where the plastic shell snaps in place. How long have you had the case, are you particularly rough with it? Please update us on how customer service handles the issue. Thanks!

Could you guys post pictures of the damage? Did the split happen on a seam or is the material brittle enough to just split anywhere? The Ringke is one of my top contenders for a TPU-type case and seeing your experiences here is making me reconsider. For those who have tried the Ringke and...

In all my searching i have yet to find a true carbon fiber case. I've seen plenty of cases with a carbon fiber "design" but they are just regular TPU or skins. Take a look at these if you just want that industrial look...

Thanks for the dose of reality. I hate getting all worked up anticipating something that wont be around (or at least stable) for several months. Now i can just put this in the back of my mind and be pleasantly surprised if it happens sooner.

A quick google search led me to this good video review of the Incipio NGP (a TPU case). Looks to be a little dated though, the model they show on the Incipio webpage has a larger cutout for the NC mic and a color they didn't mention in the video. Still worth a look though. Here's the video...

Thanks for linking that case, i haven't seen that one yet. I'll take a closer look at it and see if i can find a detailed review.

Ok, so i've see a lot of great threads on cases and some really good reviews too and now my OCD is starting to kick in. Which case is the best? I'm looking for something durable, light, and thin. Preferably TPU or some sort of soft and flexible material NOT silicone. Pretty much i'm looking for...

The Taurus bumper case is a metal case the doesn't seem to hinder your signal. Check out the review on this forum here and see if it suits your needs. The downside is that it doesn't have a back since its just a bumper and not a full body case. On the upside, it still gives you access to the...

I was just checking out these cases on amazon and i wonder, is this the closest thing to the flexible TPU case that bodyglove made for the Captivate? It sounds like you may have had the same case for your previous phone, how does it compare? For those who are wondering, this is the old case...

So i found out that the local Target has the GS2 for $99 at almost the same moment that the $160 GS2 from Amazon arrived on my doorstep. Since Amazon Wireless wont do any price matching i'm returning the phone and getting a credit back. I'll be going through Target to get the phone as soon as my...

Where the heck are you finding the GS2 for $99? I was just shopping around this last weekend in NH and AT&T is still selling the phone for $200 in the store and upgrade online shows $200 as well. I ended up getting mine from Amazon for $160 (only to find out the next day that BB has it in stock...

I just watched a couple video reviews on the GS2 and the SR (still no direct comparison vids though :() and i have to say, i'm feeling more confident in my choice of the GS2. It seems that the SR is getting some criticism for some stuttering and choppyness whereas the GS2 has been nothing but...

So i am currently waiting on my GS2 from amazon (should be here tomorrow) and now i'm not too sure i'm going with the right phone.. I dont live in a current LTE area but the nearest one is just an hour away (Boston, MA). Has AT&T published a rollout plan naming the next areas to get the faster...

Is it a matter of a modem working or not working? How will i know if i need to do the dance? Do i just have worse performance if i didn't do it when i should have?

See below for two possible solutions.. Either reinstall or try that softlocker app. GL

Thanks for the tip! Once i've finished testing KG3 i'll give JP9 a try. Just to be clear, do i need to do the modem dance every time i change? NH doesn't have very good 850 coverage, its mostly 1900 (See http://www.cellguru.net/nh_coverage.htm), and from what i understand you only really need...
