Otterbox Commuter - Droid Eris General

Anybody want one? I had an eris way back then. I won it in a contest used it a few times and that's it. Put it back in its box after 3 days. And ita been like 1 year or 2 that has passed. Id let it go for 6 dollars. Paypal of course.
I posted here that way eris owners actually see it. The marketplace gets full of threads almost every minute. So if interested comment or pm me. No screen protector though. Just the case...

£1 - Get 'em while they're hot!!!
I have been checking for a while now
I knew it was just a matter of time
Now they have them in!!!
Poundland uk now have a great adjustable stand.
Rubber/plastic coated so as not to scrape the table tops and give a bit of stability.
Tried one - great, got another for the vega.
Maybe not the prettiest thing in the world, but does the job very well.
EXCELLENT FOR A POUND.
Just might get a couple more before they are gone.
Anyone else got one yet???

Ugh, hate stylii, not sure about a keyboard I actually like the touch screen ones.
£1 screen protector would be nice though, the ones I've seen are bloody costly for what they are. (£26?)
I also have a neoprene case that I got from poundland too. Okay so its lime green but its the right size.

I would be the opposite, £1 keyboard would be good, but wouldn't have a screen protector in the house. And they do sell protectors for the ipad (eghhh) stick one of them on.
Also try poundworld if there is one of them close, basically the same shop.

i poped in today to get one and is great for a quid thanks for sharing
Picked one up in Hemel Hempstead, thanks for letting us know! It's branded as an iPad stand even though it will fit most tablets. Wondering who can afford an iPad but shops in poundland...
Just to let people know I picked a couple up in the Milton Keynes store today.
They had about 10 left.
Picked mine up in Poundland Watford today finally!! There was about 8 on the shelf.

It's more once you've forked out for an Ipad, poundland is the only place you can afford to shop in
Does the stand allow for portrait viewing? I use my AV soley for reading digital comics, especially during my breaks at work. Currently (and don't laugh because it works) I use a couple of bananas stacked to support the tablet, which gives an ideal viewing angle, without glare from overhead lights, or seeing your ugly mug in the reflection!

*****ing: My broken prime

My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.
I'm picking donation for a new TF700, tax exempt.
Cheers.

Dude! omg, it's a brilliant idea, I didn't think about it, I might scoop some clams as a down payment for my future TF700.
So, if any xda members wanna buy fully working prime parts, I'm offering a spring-discount special for xda members only
otherwise I'll list the parts on ebay.
Thanks for the idea mate.

No one has ever considered such a bad thing to do .....
No one would ever recommend such a devious action, i sure wouldnt dream about doing such a terrible thing.

@op ...
You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.

Questions from a prospective buyer. Opinions wanted.

How difficult is it to root the Note right now? I was thinking about getting one soon but I don't have too much experience rooting devices (I've got a Kindle Fire running CM7 and I rooted my old Samsung Intercept, but those were pretty much rooted with apps or a prebuilt program so I can't take much credit). But I would definitely like to root it. I have gotten used to the freedom already.
Also, what's your overall opinion on the Note? I've heard a lot of good about it but I haven't heard much from developers personally.
I know its size is a prominent aspect but it's also what I like least about it (I haven't held one in my own hands yet though). If I'm into the capabilities of the Note but not its size, should I just go for the Galaxy S II?
Any and all opinions are welcome from Note owners.. I'm trying to make up my mind by the time I get my tax refund back (finally!) so anything you can tell me about your experience with the beast is appreciated.
Thanks,
NoGloww

Rooting is easy, you can use Odin to flash a pre root kernel. Takes all of two minutes. I enjoy this phone a lot. I wish there was a better choice of accessories, i.e. cases, and am afraid to see how gigantic this phone will be with an Otterbox case. Pretty much all good besides that.

Rooting is super easy. Just download odin, and cwm, and flash it to your phone. Then flash a Kendall or custom rom and done. Takes about 15 minutes for me.

I've seen a few, but the build quality isn't where I'd like it. The reiko I hear is sloppy, the kracken is supposed to be good, just looks bad. I've got a speck case and it's embarrassing. 800 phone wrapped in scratched crap. There's a pre root kernel by da g, if all you're looking for is root, that's the way to go. Once you flash that your counter goes up one so it won't matter if you decide you want to go deeper and flash a custom recovery later down the line. Sorry I don't have the link for it, but it's in dev section for this phone and it will have all the appropriate links for drivers, Odin, and kernel.
update, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22684223 there's the pre root kernel for this phone along with drivers etc. that is the reiko case I saw. I read reviews on either that one or that one in black/ blue that said it was a sloppy fit. 7 bucks beats 60 though. According to Otterbox the defender is 6 1/8 * 3 3/4 or somewhere around there. I don't know if that would even got in my pocket anymore

Fits perfectly; a bit too bulky for everyday use
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H13M2K
Also fits perfectly. Nice and slim, but provides a good grip. It's what I keep on the Note.
$22 for both. Prime got it to me the next morning. Amazon also has 32GB micro SD for under $25 if you are placing an order anyway

30 cent clear hard snap case

So i was broqsing thru amazon the other day and seen a case for the lte for .30 cents so i figured what the hell lets buy it...i got it three days later and have yet to take it off my phone. Its actually designed really well and has a surprisingly sturdy and well built build quality. It snaps tight and closes completely all the way around. It snaps so tight that ive tried to unsnap it and its actually very difficult. All in all the 3.25 i spent on it (shipping was 2.95) was well worth the money especially if you dont want to add bulk to your phone and you like the naked look of the lte. I dont have the link for the actual product but i can guarentee if you go onto amazon the app or website and search for evo 4g lte cases youll find the one im talking about. The lowest price i seen it for was 27 cents and 2.93 shipping. Thanks for reading my review next one is a pair of noisehush nx80 earbuds once i test them. They actually look quite similar to beats tours lol. Hope i at least helped one person with this write up.

Cracked Screen

Looks like I'm the first to post about this in the HOX+ section
Had the phone face down after having recently rejected a call, my dad and I heard a tiny sound but didn't think much of it. Later when I picked it up I was in utter shock to find the screen had cracked. The phone is only 1 month or so old and HAS NEVER EVER been dropped.
I gave AT&T a call knowing I'd get no where...and yes, I got no where. So I called HTC and they were super nice. However, they pretty much told me that while screen defects are possible, it's next to never that it's ruled as such by the technician. I sent it in anyway to see what happens.
I really don't have any other options at the moment to getting it repaired as I could not find a single place that sells HOX+ parts. Some have reported HOX parts being cross compatible, but I'm not going to take the phone apart (and risk damaging it) on a "maybe".
In sum, I'm heartbroken and pissed.
And to rub salt into the wound, I'm having to use my wife's old iPhone 3GS in the meantime :crying:
always sad to hear about the death of a beloved phone :crying: Good luck and please keep us informed.
I'm more sorry to hear that u have to use a sorry a** iPhone for the time being
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
I'd cry if I had to use an iPhone. Sorry to hear about your phone. I think the one x and + both share the same dimensions so maybe a one x screen will work but the leds will be white not 100% about compatibility so maybe check with HTC
These phones are actually really easy to tear apart! Don't be scared
Best of luck getting your baby working
Sent from my Viper One X+
I would hope that a technician could tell the difference between a defect and impact damage. If it were dropped, there would be some kind of impact mark somwhere, especially considering how hard Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be to break. Fingers crossed for you.
Don't feel bad. I just sent mine back to HTC as well. All layers of the screen destroyed but surprisingly the phone still worked so I'm looking at a new digitizer and lcd. I miss her
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Thanks guys. Still ticked to no end, and the iPhone 3GS certainly doesn't help. Should have never sold all my ex-Android phones (urgh).
Still no word from HTC. I'm basically torn between forking over $200+ for the repairs if they're not going to repair it under warranty and just selling it as is on eBay. I figure I can get $300, then use the money toward a Nexus 4. It's going to kill me not having LTE, 64GB storage, sharp screen, nor the sexiness that is the HOX+, but I can't spend $200 after just recently spending $250 to buy it. I don't know. Confused

HTC/Futuretel in Canada quoted me $430 for screen + digitizer. I smashed it a few weeks ago, you can find my thread in the q&a section.
I found a company in Vancouver that will do it for $135 so we'll see how that repair goes.
Good luck to you too.
Sorry to hear about yours as well, hope you get it back all sorted. $400 is a lot just for a screen repair,

My status changed to "In Repair" today. Not sure if that means they're going ahead and repairing it under warranty or that they're looking at and will contact me soon with estimate. Wait and see I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed.
It does not mean that. Mine said the same thing the first day and it was explained to me that it means they are taking it apart to diagnosis the extent of condition. My final cost was 200. They claimed they needed to replace the casing as well... I didn't argue it and paid up. You can dispute the charges though.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
You're absolutely right. An hour later they sent me a quote with the same thing, $200 for the screen and casing. I called them up and asked as to why the casing needed replacing when only the screen was cracked. They escalated it and someone is going to contact me back. I don't have a problem paying to replace the screen (which I hoped to be around $120), but why should I pay an extra $80 for a casing that was in pristine condition.

I totally agree with you. My case was pristine as well. Hard to tell from the pics though but there was no damage done to it. I'm guessing the destroyed it taking the screen out.

Just got off the phone with HTC again. They said the 200 does not include the case. That is being thrown in because they probably damaged it when removing the internals. 200 only includes replacing the screen.

After reading your post I just said fuuuuuuuunk it and just went online and approved the repairs and paid for them. I have zero hope that any good is gonna come out of this and I don't want to wait another week (was told up to 10 days) for them to review my case only to come back and tell me they won't cover them. Thought about putting the $200 toward a Nexus 4 (or whatever I got from the selling the HOX+ as is), but I really love my HOX+, even if I miss the Nexus experience.

I totally agree with you. My case was pristine as well. Hard to tell from the pics though but there was no damage done to it. I'm guessing the destroyed it taking the screen out.

Am sorry to hear about your screen. Don't wanna go off topic but stick to the HOX+. I have the nexus 4 as well and it's a good phone and all but the camera and audio experience is awful. If you use your phone with a headset from time to time or take pics the Nexus 4 is ridiculous, I mean really bad.
Thanks for reassuring me I made the right decision then. Good to know about the camera and audio quality.

Got my phone back yesterday from HTC and was surprised to find out that they actually sent me a brand new one instead of repairing my original one. This actually makes me feel a whole lot better about dropping $200.
I'll give :good: for HTC for their quick turnaround and the nice packaging the phone came in.
All in all, I'm just glad to have my [new] HOX+ back.
