anyone out there try the LiveView with the vibrant yet, and if so, how do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one, looks like a cool little toy, but i've herd some negatives about connetion issues (yes i know they just recent released a fireware update to help that) but still unsure if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance!
well i just got it, and it's pretty bomb in case any of u 203 visitors wanted to know lol
What is it?

Its a bluetooth connected display that you wear on your wrist. It will give you a lot of information at a glance. I guess it would be great for someone who hates pulling their phone out all the time, or someone who uses a belt clip or armband case.

they put out an update for the software that makes it pretty usefull. there is also a hack with tasker to help it connect when it disconnects.
it does disconnect sometimes, but for the most part it works really well. If you are on xda and hack your phone then you know the software isn't always perfect and if you have delt with roms that arn't quit ready for daily driver you know the feeling and it isn't that bad.
I'm loving this so far, and want more people to get it so that more people would devolop plugins for it.
it is coming to the US soon, or u can get it on ebay for about 70 bucks! get it now before they get to the us and become hot and the price on ebay skyrockets!

if it does that would be great looks to be .3MM wider sooooo don't know if it will or not.
"Vibrant Dimensions 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm"
"Galaxy S i9000 dimensions Dimensions 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm"
Alright then. I'll order it and let everyone know lmao!

Ouch on the price. A very good full case can be had for less.
Interested to know how it fits though in case a replacement becomes necessary at some point.
Thanks.
I prefer going Naked with my Vibrant All it needs is the with google
The Google is a nice touch why not just get a decal?

pretty sure that .3mm measurement difference is just an error. there is zero reason why samsung would make one phone wider or slimmer... the vibrant even shares the chassis with the i9000... the forward facing camera hole is even present.

Duno but Captive cases wont work so just figured that was the same with the i9000, would be better for us if it were this way when the white cases come out.

The captivate is the most unique Galaxy S phone in terms of appearances, the Vibrant is one of the phones that is pretty much alike to the I9000 aside from the 4 keys and a front camera.
The captivate's method of taking it off is different as well.

says its not compatible with vibrant, i would assume if i9000 and vibrant shared exact same battery cover, then this would fit, meaning the one you purchased would fit too. since this doesn't, maybe the listing you showed won't either?
ps... why does it say unlocked i9000 only, what does being locked or unlocked have anything to do with a physical battery cover?
I really don't know. We'll see when it gets here.

Hi guys have u guys made any XDA shirts yet? if so plz let me know im intersted on buying 1. thank u n appreciate it. plz let me know soon
Great idea
No T shirts have made at least officially
Long time ago we had a store and there was a petition to do so but never happened...
oo ok alright isee ;/ well when u all decide to make t-shirts plz let me know as soon u all can. Im intersted in some or even stickers if u all can thank u n appreciated
Stickers and Shirts
I don't know if I'd go for a shirt, my workplace won't allow them unless its a tastefully done golf/polo type shirt, and ... that would look like I'm working for someone else, so probably wouldn't pass dress code.
However, I would buy a few sticker or two to slap on my laptop - or even skinning my phone.
I would be interested in buying a shirt. Orb, what happened to the last project?
Interesting.... i would like to show you all something cool maybe you all wants to have one of this bueaties
My friend owns a Screen Printing shop, I can ask him how much he would do shirts for us. Price does depend on design and colors.

So you only wear clothes to work? Wha?
I would dig an XDA shirt! Just make sure it's not some overpriced sh*t =P I'm okay with donating a few bucks to XDA, but I don't want to pay some obscene $30 for a T-Shirt lol

This is not for donation purposes. This is to show our pride as xda members! But you're right, $30 is too much. Somebody should come up with the design.
We've been toying with the idea. In fact, we have a prototype, but weren't happy with the quality. See the attached.
A T shirt in brown or white with the logo of XDA is good enough
Hoping to see them available soon

I'd be down for a shirt. Could there be a white and black shirt with the simple design in an athletic fit? Also, hoodies and long-sleeved shirts would be cool too. I wouldn't mind the shirt being a dollar more for donation purposes.

It actually look pretty good although would love to se some polo shirts as well since thats all i wear ha but would definatly order this and polo as well. Im big fan of XDA jst got into it and would love to show the pride for this, would also love stickers to attach them in my laptop that would look nice Hope u all make something soon by this year
I like the sample it looks cool! For me short sleeved would be preferable. A regular XDA logo shirt in a nice design would be fine, nothing fancy for the first edition is needed. A price point of $15 or less would seal the deal, and at the quantities I'm sure people will be snapping these up, that probably wouldn't be a problem =P
I will definitely buy one if I can get it in black
Dropped from my smoking fast Captivate (Darky's Raw Steel v3.0 + xcalibur's reorient kernel)

I asked the guy selling this on ebay and this was his response:
Yes, the case is branded "Motorola Xoom." I got the case at work. I have no idea where something like that could be purchased, though.

It looks to be more of a sleeve type than an actual case that stays on while in use, but I'm still a bit interested in finding out more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I've been looking for a targus case but this is the first I've seen. It is not available on their web site so I'm betting it is a prototype or an exclusive. I hope they begin selling this because I want!
Shot an email to Targus. I doubt I'll get anything of help back but it's worth a shot.
Interested in this too. I just want a 9"-10" version of the 13" Targus case I have for my MacBookPro. I stuff the Xoom in my backpack to go between classes and I'd like to be able to have a laptop sleeve type setup.
Ask him where he works!

This looks awesome I hope best buy or somewhere comes out with something like that
I was just looking around for any hope of an extended battery case and came across the Powerskin. The website says its coming in April... hopefully early April...
Only an extra 1500mAH, but its a start...

It charges your phone first then the powerskin, I think it is a pretty cool idea

From the pictures, it looks like you will lose the use of the kickstand though. That little buggy has been a heaven sent for me when I need to let kids watch videos on my phone.

If I read the specs correctly it's a 1500 battery that is attached to the case plus the stock battery! This actually seems like a pretty cool setup

ive always wondered when they will come out with one of these like the iphone. i may get one
Looks great and the feature that it has to check the battery level on the back is really nice. Trying to figure out how much though, perks like that are not inexpensive. I'm rocking a 3500mah from an eBay buyer, so far it works perfectly fine; thats only with the cycles, yet it was worth the $14.
Looks good. I may pick one of these of for the wife.
I emailed them, and they said they hope to release it by the end of April. Their site says 59.99... I'll plan to get one after they become available. Will let you guys know how it turns out.
I emailed them, they do NOT support the kickstand:
"Just wanted to let you know that the PowerSkin will not support the stand for the EVO. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask. I will be happy to help you.
Thank you for your interest in PowerSkin"
Without support for the kickstand, which also acts as a heatsink, I don't want to know if it will overheat.

i don't know if anyone else remembers the leak of photos from back when the EVO was released last year But this was suppose to be the extended battery that was released back then WOW a year later and it finally comes out when alot of people have already bought a different kind or are looking at getting the EVO 3D this is really bad timing
Just posting this because I received the email from them that these are available for purchase with a 30% discount using the following:
Save 30% + Free Shipping at checkout with
discount code “POWERUP2”!*
With twice the power for your HTC EVO 4G, your life charges on. You can keep working. Keep playing. Keep moving. PowerSkin® is your go-to, go-anywhere, go on-and-on power source.
I looked at it as well but I also use the kickstand.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth watch that works well with our Note 2? Could really do with one for work as I can't really keep piping my phone out of my pocket to keep checking.
I'm looking only for basic features - caller id and sms preview!
Something that doesn't monster drain the battery etc!

The Pebble is not quite released yet but looks interesting..one that is out is the Metawatch.
I hve no experience with either...so YMMV
Found this review of three others HERE for your viewing pleasure!
I'm personally waiting for the Pebble that Steelyglint linked to be released, but in the meantime you can try the Sony Ericsson LiveView (£20 from play.com. £17 from amazon) It supposedly has some bluetooth connectivity issues but I didn't really notice any issues when I used it with my SGS2 (i9100)
However I don't know where I've put it and can't test it on my note 2, so I can't say how well it will work with it.
Also the wrist strap that comes with it looks crap.
Great minds think alike. I was just looking at a couple of Live Views on eBay and wondering about compatability. A few of those up for grabs between £15-20. Almost cheap enough to take a punt on I reckon
Found one other HERE but it's rather more expensive !
