Flexi Rubber Clear case by AccessoryOne 99Cents

I don't work for them...I got mine in the mail today and IMO for 99cents i am past impressed. So I did a video to show you guys.
http://youtu.be/Dog_DpsR7uk
I don't like the power button issue as I can NOT even wake my phone..so it becomes useless.

Dude, I need the text notification ASAP.
Also, I got two of these for me and my wife and had the same issue. I ended up just cutting the area out.

A damn razor blade and nerves of steel. Took about ten minutes to do mines, but about 2 minutes to do my wife's. I was a damn pro by the time I got to her's.
Don't forget about me with the text ringtone.

I got this one from Amazon, and it looks exactly the same except it had a cutout for the power button. Works perfectly, and I can't complain!

That's the same one I ordered. Same place, same seller. That sucks.
But to the other guy above..That stuff off Ebay is from Hong Kong. No way am I waiting a month for an order. lol

Looks nice, but I'm gonna wait to see what Trident has to offer before getting one of these.

I got it from uk and it took 4 days to come here. There are also USA sellers on eBay not just from hongkong.

There aren't honestly..They say they are but as soon as I purchase from them they say [email protected] for example..they lie to make people order because most Americans won't order from Hong Kong and wait 2 weeks for an order.
UPDATE::: This case gave me the screen of death" issue..now my touch screen is acting crazy..I swear this sucks.

is the rubber the sort that pocket lint sticks to?

Nothing sticks to the cases that the OP is speaking of. I'm damn satisfied with it. This is the first time I paid so little for a case and have been satisfied with it.

Since I been using this my screen has started going nuts. Doesn't read touch at times when trying to unlock the screen. New one should be here today. Says it's out for delivery..but u know T-Mo uses "Next Day-Super Saver" so that means you wont get it until 4:30pm which is the end of day for deliveries..smh

What should I do now with my crappy?

Well I upgraded to the sgsII. But I have mixed feelings about what to do with my trusty cappy. No one in my family wants it and none of my friends around here have atnt...
I dont know if I should sell it or keep it as a backup. It seems like just a waste to leave it sitting around in the box. Besides it's basically a brand new phone (2 week old 11.02 built/refurb) Never has been messed with. (Roms) No blemishes or marks at all. No sleep death or gps issues. I just got it replaced due to a crappy gps.
Should I be able to get at least $200 for it if I got the ebay route? I have everything it came with plus a otter box commuter.

ebay the puppy or donate it to a DEV .;-)

Does it mean they fixed GPS issues in newer/refurb captivates? Could you confirm what build is safe, or what to look for? I might pick one up for mom.

same situations except mines is older. mine just sits on my desk. thinking about using it like an ipod touch or something. how much would this go for anyway if we were to sell? no one has answered that except to give it to them for free.

Sorry man they run around 150-200ish. Yours with case prolly 180. Wasn't stallin or beggin just figured you could checkout ebay and craigslist yourself to find out what they are selling for.
Steve

sides most of us was suggesting someone we have no personal contact with or knowledge of other than the excellent work done to make the captivate a better phone,,and done without one

ebay is your best bet.

You can mail it to watsa so he can keep developing captivate roms

It's a refurb that I got 2 weeks before this posting. 10.12 built.
Ive been trying ebay with a $200 buy it now. comes with everything, and a otterbox commuter etc.
Only people that seem to be bidding are from Russia, Ukrian. They have fake ebay accounts with us address but they cannot checkout thru a non us paypal. It' seems to be a 99% scam. I might post it here in the market if this continues to happen. I hate it. I even have like size 7 font in red telling them not to bid etc lol

I would really love to see a developer that makes a media player rom. Basically what I'm thinking of is an ipod touch like u.i. so I can keep my cappy around as an awesome storage device/mp3 player/wifi only browser after my upgrade.

There is a thread somewhere that does that very thing. I think it was called Captivate Touch.

Just give it to LOSTLOGIC. All in favor?

talk to josh from mobile tech videos. he was looking for a captivate a while back to do videos with. im sure you guys could come to some kind of agreement.

Google Running Home Testing

Google through some company named GfK, have sent me some random letter to my house saying I have been randomly chosen to participate in random testing concerning the way I use TV, Smart phones, Computers and tablets with benefits and a tiny little payout..They also included a REAL $2 bill as "incentive" I guess. They don't know that I own any of this so I assume they "maybe" would be sending me these things. (I already own 2 Xooms, A Kindle Fire, 2 laptops and 5 Android smartphones but how would they KNOW this?). Just kinda odd and random I guess.
Anyone else got one of these or can provide me with more details as to what it is? has anyone here ever done one of these and what is it? i'm uncomfortable with it because it was random. So I thought I'd ask my homies here on XDA.
I did Google and find this too. http://www.google.com/landing/screenwisepanel/
I attached a copy of the letter.

Is is a good idea though or no?

Hey Freshly_Snipes, this is a interesting little letter you have received. I am going to keep up with this thread, please keep us all up to date with what becomes of this.

Sucks we can't sign up to get the black box anymore, cause that would of been perfect. Honestly, unless you're a terrorist, child pervert/sexual predator. There is no reason not to sign up.

Not sure how one gets on these lists, but I have gotten letters like this from time to time for other tech companies (usually they come with a $5 bill, lol). They are legit but usually require more effort than their merger pay out is worth. You must track and report a lot of info (sometimes you even allow them to do the tracking via certain devices), giving out a lot of private data in the process and spending a bit of time to do it. I usually pocket the $5 (in this case apparently its $2) and move on with my life.

Why can't I get the black box???
I think I am going to try it out and if I don't feel comfortable or it becomes to tedious I'll just stop. I hope they don't "force me" to stay reporting if I choose to.

Is your Phone growing a beard??

My HTC One S has started doing something very weird since Friday... Randomly started doing it after restarting my phone in the morning. I've done everything in the book I could think of...
Here is a couple video's I've taken (with my old Iphone 3gs)
Is anybody experiencing such issues?

The store was closed when I went yesterday, but I did get on the phone with support and they got another on the way already. unfortunately it's not certain the replacement will be new, may be a refurbished. The lady over the phone couldn't say for sure what it would be. (of course this is the same person that said "can you take your battery out for me and tell me if the sticker is red?")
I'm really curious to see if I'm the only one with that problem

There is only one solution.

I really wish I could use that shaver, my screen is only getting worst every morning, seems that when I don't use it for some hours it gets worst and thicker. This morning the bottom half was just completely grayed out to the point I couldnt even see any of the icons. it thinned out after I locked and unlocked the screen few times to where I can see stuff again but still with that layer.

To me is sounds a little like the LCD (not digitizer) screen is coming loose. I am no expert, but no matter what I would send it back before opening it if there is any chance of getting it warranty repaired or replaced.

the screen seems on nice and tight, if anything it be a loose wire but it gets real thick last couple mornings then if I restart it couple times and play with lock unlock the screen it'll thin back out to where I can see the bottom half again... which is kinda random.

Ok, I had seen a video of an X version doing that, wasn't sure if it was normal.
I do have an exchange phone coming in. My two concerns on it is. for 1 its more than likely a refurb :what: 2 its coming on Friday but I'm leaving tomorrow for the whole weekend as I had said prior, This thing is only getting worst, it flickers all day from 1/4 to 1/2 way now. Really bummed about it because I really wanna like this phone and granted I really do do like it... For me coming from an iPhone (which being a pc user it pains me to say is a darn good solid phone) I think this thing actually holds its own... But this screen issue is not looking too positive so far

LOL ya mine seems new, it was sealed original packaging, new charger, manual everything.
here is what the old one been doing since friday tho

and since I didn't have my new phone till last night and yet still had to make calls and text messages, can't tell how much of a pain in the ass this been.
question tho... was your rooted then relocked when you sent it back?? I relocked mine and ran the RUU but it won't do the update which I find kind of weird. I think getting the replacement is the easy part... what worries me is what they try to say after send the old one back, I have babied this phone so much and granted I know it's hardware problem for sure, I just don't want to give them a reason to even try and say it's my fault. I already paid nearly full price for the old one... I'd be one pissed off basterd if they try to make me pay it again

My buddy had lost his so he had to get a replacement also, he said that his came in the original box as well.... which now makes me not feel so confident about having a new vs refurb lol

DESTROYED it yesterday :(

I officially just destroyed my phone yesterday. I was riding my motorcycle and forgot to take it from my pocket to my riding bag. When I got to the gym I noticed it wasn't in the bag and didn't know if I left it home but just FELT something was wrong. I used my nexus s (which is now an MP3 player for the gym) to remote install googles find me service. After a while it finally popped and said it was half way from the gym to my house. I rode back and found it. Someone actually picked it up and brought it into a deli.
Anyway the screen was shattered.... like SHATTERED.
This didnt bother me since the glass was already cracked and everything else seemd to work okay UNTIL I went to make a call.
When making a call and putting the phone up to my ear the screen goes black and it takes a LOT of playing around to come back. I get NO AUDIO when using in handset mode. Like no one hears me and I Cant hear them. I can use it fine in speaker mode oddly.
I took it apart and everything internally looks fine. No boards cracked the speaker looks fine, headphone jack fine. My guess is maybe when it fell the headphone jack and/or speaker maybe popped out of its socket and its confusing the handset when not on speaker.
ANYWAY
I can buy a new screen for 80$ on amazon. Do you guys think its worth it if Im not 100% sure thats the full issue. I could buy a speaker and headphone jack for like 4$ a piece which is nothing but then I was wondering if the light sensor got messed up (which I dont think so) and thats actually fully soldered to the board. I can solder but cant find that part so I think it would require buying a whole main board.
Im using my S4 WHICH I HATE for now and miss my Nexus . Like I feel naked without it, and honestly want to fix it because it was a gift from my girlfriend for x mas cause I wanted it so bad. I feel horrible because this is the FIRST phone Ive ever had something like this happen to. Lucky it had a good spigen case and aside the screen everything else looks new still.
What would you guys do?

If you bought it from Google Play, take advantage of Google's offer to replace/repair all cracked screens for free.

this is true. I wonder why? Think it was the biggest market of phone purchasers? they are an american based company though.

Should I unroot the phone if possible you think? Or do you REALLY think google will care?

Google don't care. They even accept rooted phones as RMA for warranty. Only LG care, for non-play store purchases

Google does not care if you rooted your device. Its a "hardware issue" (if you can call a shattered screen like that ) anyways so it wouldn't make a difference wether the device was rooted or not.

SERIOUSLY ALL OF YOU

Hm, maybe they only have US models? (Or maybe too many US customers RMA'd for "loose power buttons" so they have too many "refurbished")

funny thing is I also JUST RMA'd for the loose power button right before then never sent it in. Being lazy and complacent finally paid off once cause they said if I had any other RMAs I might not have qualified cause tis case by case
