bought a silicon case with unbreakable screen cover

After read some posts in here I decided to buy a silicon case.
I bought a silicon case with unbreakable screen cover from this website:
http://pdaden.com/shop/catalog/
product_16662_Soft_Jacket_Set_for_
O2_XDAII_Qtek_2020_with_unbreakable_screen_cover_cat_473.html
(please remove those new line before paste URL on your address bar)
I spend $ 26.95 = 14.24 pounds for it.
It was shipped from Hong Kong and took over two weeks to london.
Almost everything is as good as I expected:
I chose black colour because looks smaller;
I can put it into my pocket now, which was impossible with leather case;
Comfort feeling in hand;
Unbrakable screen cover is nice and clear maybe it reduced reflection.
Both Belt Clip and Belt clip button can be removed so that it has a smooth back;
Provided a nice hand strap but I would never use it;
It has many holes for SD card slot, sound volume slider, head phone socket, reset 'button', camera and camera mirror, antenna connector and data cable connector.

However I got problems...
After happiness is headache.
The first issue is how to operate the XDA2 without touching screen.
I set record button to start menu then I can use joystick to load a program.
Today can also be selected by joystick in WM2003SE but not for WM2003.
Installed a software AltTab so I can use red phone button to close window.
I also installed the Contacts Button so I can use joystick to select contact items and redefine joystick in phone.
however I cannot dial a number which is not in contacts without opening screen cover.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS, joystick does not properly work any more!
The manufacture claim that the case has 'Accur-Touch keypad cover'. This feature perfectly works with other buttons but joystick. Because joystick is not a button. I cannot use arrow anymore. Under silicon cover, pressing four arrow keys becomes pressing down button. This is a really bad design.
Thank mamaich and Des for developed tools to hack volume slider. So I don't have to use joystick any more. But this still very inconvenient.
The best solution may be cutting anonther hole on it.

The second issue is cannot be placed on cradle.
Because silicon cover is thick and sticky.
The hole for connector only can be used for recharging.
I hope I could have a data cable not a cradle.
Other solution is using bluetooth ActiveSync.
I am still looking for a perfect bluetooth stack for XDA2.
So currently I have to remove unbreakable cover and pull XDA2 out.
I worry about if I do this too many times the flexiable cover will be loose.

i have the same case
about the actionbutten then it's good enough for my needs
not goog enough to play tetris or something but good enough for me
when i want to call or mess with programs i open the lid
i have no problems with the minijack connector when using the case
i dont use the cradle unless i have to do a full restore and bluetooth is too slow for that
i use the org ms bluetooth stack along with bluetooth tools and it's working perfectly for sync with my pc
i'm happy enough with it
i sync with BT and charge with the connector on the cable
i open when i need to do screen operations

why not buy a xda2s cradle as its bigger than the xda2. i can get you a price if you want PM me

unfortunately the silicon case easily stick a dust on it...but its washable...
no probs with the sync...just buy the usb sync cable from the same store...
my wife love to used with it... :lol: but i love my clear case and the innopocket hard case...
btw i just cut the sync connector cover...its annoying while inserting the sync cable...and i just put some not too expensive screen protector to the unbreakable cover...

I just order one, and I am thinking tu cut the rear part to use it with my backpack....

Yes!!!!

Designio leather case reviewed... By me !

Hello, I was searching for a leather case for my Kaiser for two months now.
Here is what I expected from my case :
1) - I wanted my screen protected with something hard.
2) - the case should let me answer the phone without removing anything.
3) - it should let me open the keyboard without removing the whole case.
4) - I didn't want any plastic thing covering my keyboard once the keyboard is opened.
And I found the perfect case that match my wishes !
Well, I said "perfect" ? Let's see ...
The case is the Designio leather case, here it is :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Lets' check if it really match my wishes ...
1) - the protective "door" for the screen is really hard, yes, it will really protect my screen. Also, the closure of the door is very good : there is a magnet in the leather case, so the door open/close very easily and remains closed in the pocket (attracted by the magnet). So this protective "door" for the screen is a very good point !
2) - you can easily answer the phone while the case is closed. When your phone rings, nothing to do except pushing the green button. All the buttons around the pad still have a good access with this case. New good point !
3) & 4) - to open the keyboard, I need, this time, to remove the whole upper side of the case. I didn't expected something better, I think we just can't do anything better than this. The keyboard opens very easily here again, the leather is very well adjusted, nothing touch the screen while you let it slide to see the keyboard. Once the keyboard is opened, nothing covers it so the keys are very easy to access and keep their original typing comfort. Again, good point !
But all isn't good ... Now the bad points ...
- When you power off your device, if the upper side of the case is opened, while pressing the power button the Kaiser "pop up" from case, it's very dangerous, it could just drop from the case. So you need to take your Kaiser in both hands to power it off, or close the upper side of the case before.
- Some buttons are a little hard to access. The side "OK" button is partially covered (just a little) by the leather. So it's sometimes hard to press it.
- The hole made for the stylus should be in a higher position. So it is also hard to remove the stylus. The good side of this is that it will now be harder to lose the stylus !
- The hole made for the power button is not big enough, you need to press the hole very strong to touch the button, or you can use your nail as the button access will then be easier, but I hate this.
- The size : to have two leather layers on the screen is very protective but takes of course more room in your pocket. I think the Kaiser, in this case, is about 1cm bigger (from the side view). I will let people convert it into inches if they need !
- Last but not least : I have a problem with my case, the first cover of the screen (the one around the screen, not the "door" wich covers the whole screen) is not well made. The button (in french we say "pressure button", I don't know what's the english word for this) wich let it close is not at the right place. So when I close it, it's a little down, covering a little part of my screen (the bottom right). It's not a very big issue because it's only covering a very little part the screen (I'd say about 2mm), but this sucks anyway. If only they had put this button just 1 mm higher, the protective leather part would perfectly fit the screen. These days, I'm focusing on this problem and it makes me angry !
Is this problem specific to my case ? I'm not sure ... When I look at some shots of this case on the web, sometimes I can see the same problem on the commercial shot ! There may be a way to fix this problem, I'm working on that, but I don't want to cut the leather, that's the hard thing to think about.
Conclusion :
This case does its job : to protect your Kaiser. I have no doubt about this, the only thing wich is not covered is the pad and its buttons. Some buttons should have a better access, but they are still accessible.
The finish is very good, it could be a high price product ...
I think it's worth the price, of course depending on where you buy it. I bought mine in a Hong Kong shop on Ebay. The price was about 15€, shipping included. I waited for it for 3 weeks, so be patient !
I just hope for you, if you buy it, that you will not have the issue I had with the "pressure button" wich is not at the exact place it should be... Just one millimeter higher and it would just be perfect !!!

Wrong Section should be in Kaiser accessories......

Yes you're right ! Sorry ! I made a copy of this post in the right sectio now ... I will try to remove this one

Loud vibration normal?

Hey guys!
I recieved my SM2 today and I was a bit shocked how loud the vibration is.
Is it normal that it's clearly audible or do I have a faulty unit?

This is normal, mine does the same. You're sure you won't miss a message

Alright... not what I expected. So I have to turn off vibration once I'm in a meeting. Inconveniant.

Mine was very loud too but I realised it was the metal strap making the noise. I replaced it with a 24mm NATO strap and it's barely audible now.

Same here :good:

When I just received SW2 and place it on over the table, i was shocked by its vibration "zi----"
I Also notice that it is come from between the metal strap and SW2, so i paste some tape over there to lower vibration sound.

Interesting! I really like the metal strap though.

Passed two layers of tape.
But tape always fall out there, and vibration became loud as usual.

Interesting watch face. Is that a custom one downloaded, and is that displaying seconds on the lower right?
re: noise. I don't find it too noisy. I do also like the look of the metal band but I may also look at either a nato or leather band, since the metal band does occasionally grab at arm hairs.

Higher left is hour, the biggest one is min, and the lower right is day.
This is based on my read watch habit. For me, the most important is min so this is bigger than other number.
Using app Remote Widget and UCCW, also supported newest Low Power Mode on SW2.

I just tried Remote Widget with Zooper Widget on my SW2 and it simply doesn't update at all on the watch. How did you manage to make it work?

In UCCW settings, check the last one "Force widget update". and in the Remote Widget, Turn device on select "CPU Only", 0 sec.
But it still stays in sync for 30~55 min and then stops. Hope we can find a way to solving this. Or connect to developer, let he add a Watchface mode.
Or maybe it's UCCW's problem, i haven't try too many times for this.

Same problem right here, but I think it's normal

Android RING

i took a look into the future and this is what ive seen
maybe i should make a crowdfunding project but i just throw it out here xD
patents are not pending as i dont have money
the next big thing after watches have to be rings!!!!
nothing is more comfortable, easy to use, more lightweight etc
maybe we should make bets or something..
if holografic image projector come first then we dont need a touchscreen on the ring xD
well ok, holografic image projector in ring size could take a while....
however, smartwatches are 2013 .. we need rings google
/edit:
curiously i googled and found that one big problem might be solved soon: the energy source
The human battery: turning body heat into electric power

You have some very interesting ideas. I would agree that a ring would be cool, but I'm not sure they would be all that practical considering current technology.

Maybe a built in micro projector would work well. But it's likely the best use for a ring would be to flash for notifications, or act as an NFC device for payments. Or as a fitness device for monitoring your heartrate.

Looks like this is going to be my next wedding ring!
This will be great for small notifications and time but this looks more like a geeky gimmick add-on. Still awesome idea though.

Great idea...but no
Just no,
Make it a bracelet, than we will talk lol

super
thansk

A ring with some quick NFC action may be worth a look but I suppose any of the Android-powered watches could do the same thing. Still worth investigating.

Actually there are some smart rings in development. Not really android rings, but bluetooth ones.

Hi,
it's a cool gadget but i don't think that this would be an bestseller.

Wouldn't it be more realistic for the ring to be based on physical (button) touch - rather than holograph or touchscreen?

Could call it the iCheat, have a tiny speaker in it so when you take tests it spits out the answers to you while scratching your head.

Perhaps a stanhope lens concept could work, have a super small high dpi screen inside a stanhope lens, then you could place the long lense shaft on the top of the ring going parallel with it, it would be easy to look at the lens then, just like a microscopic telescope to one eye.
The ring could be hollow and contain the circuitry and battery, use the new graphene battery tech from Samsung. Then add similar tech to the Google glass for audio, having bone-conduction. It would need a little practice by the user to find the best spot to put their finger around their ear, but should work well. Plus microphone and your done.
It probably would work very well.

Nice idea i'll buy it if became reality

just wanted to leave this here:

I wonder how well car cradles & the Edge Sense are going to play together

A lot of us use car cradles that clamp onto the phone. Although I use a very minimalist clamp buy Kenu, some car clamps can run almost the full side length of a phone.
I'll be curious to see if these set off the Edge Sense when you clamp your phone in and if it's going to be a problem for people. I haven't seen a single person bring this up in a review or online, but it's one of the first things I thought of.
Fortunately the clamp I use is very minimalist and I can set it to clamp higher on the phones edge, so maybe above the squeezable area, but I know some have fuller sized clamps.
Yes I know you can set the sensitivity of the squeeze to initiate the desired function.

I never thought of this. I guess I will see once I get my phone

Simply you'll have to disable edgesense directly with in the quicksettings. An item is here to enable/disable it when you want as you do with wifi for example. But I have to admit that if you don't disable it, edgesense engage the action you set and you often have the photo app launched :/

There is a quick access toggle in the notification bar pull down to turn Edge Sense on and off?

Yes there is one toggle :

The clamp force of a smartphone holder is not big. So u think there will be no issues here.

notice the included case is cut out almost the entire edge length. Partially for buttons of course, but partially for edge sense space.

the Kenu one I use is extremely strong, but either way... putting it in and out of a clamp might set the edge sense off. Hopefully there will be Tasker integration and then maybe you can set up a profile so that if you're attached to the Bluetooth in your car that shuts off the edge sense functionality.

Just get a magnet-based mount system. Problem solved. They work great. I wouldn't ever go back now that I've switched.

Bright idea: Use your car dock to set up a shortcut to start your phone's car app! (Win/win)

I've been using slipgrip mounts forever, though they are device specific so I change it every time I upgrade phones. Grabs by the lower corners and one tab mid-point.

cool idea
If your using side grip mounts in your car with the HTC U11. Grab a few of the NFC programmables and use some triggers(macros) to disable the Edge Sense before mounting, and another to enable it when you take your phone out of the side grips (maybe on a keychain). I'm finding the Edge Sense useful for now. It's a gimmick now, but maybe other options will pop up. You can launch MacroDroid with the short squeeze and do a lot more with Edge Sense.

Just pull down notification bar and toggle off edge sense while it's in an edge grip cradle. Lol

I use a car mount like this. Doesn't falsely trigger edge sense when I put the phone in. My edge sense setting is about slightly below medium setting.

I have Kenu plus.... will have to see....

If you are looking for a great looking cradle this is a very nice one.
Solid.. Nice design and no edge sense "problems"
Rock autobot cradle.

OK, got my phone yesterday and had tried out Kenu Plus this morning on the way to work. The mount grip triggered the Edge sense, but it displays a message saying "release to launch or keep pressing to cancel". So, it detects the pressure but will not trigger any actions. I am just worried how that constant pressure will affect the lifetime of the physical edge sensors...

I am interested in this one, seems like it doesn't apply any pressure to the edge sensor...

I have a car mount which squeezes the sides.
when i pop it in, the graphics come up to indicate that it senses a squeeze, but after a few seconds, it realises that its constant pressure, and not a squeeze per-se, and times out. No impact on use.

same here, see my previous post, just worry about long term effect on the sensors.
Actually now that I have put the Spigen clear case on, it kind of reduces the pressure and the phone doesn't sense the squeeze at all.
