Any Good Ideas on the Best iPhone 4S...

I have looked at so many covers, cases for the iPhone.  Does anybody know of an excellent case that protects the iPhone 4S without blocking any of the ports or display?  I recently saw this holster that looked cool but seemd not quite what I am looking for.  I have a strong tendancy to be hard on items like the iPhone even know I try not to.  I have tried the Otterbox, which did not really protect much.  somebody had told me about one that I looked at at Best BUy, but I saw their website too and it loked pretty good but right now I forget the name.  I would like to be about to hook it up to the Mophie Juice Pack without having to take it out of the case.  any suggestions?

For the majority of the time, I go caseless. I don't like them because debris becomes trapped and requires cleaning every few days, not to mention random scratches. I would, however, invest in a screen protector. Just a basic one. Or, ZAGG Invisi-shield.
I stress this however if you follow my advice: be careful. It isn't hard.
Do you have the Mophie case already? If not, I discourage buying it. Battery life should be long enough with moderate usage. If you already do, you may want to look into a pouch for the HTC Evo, since I think it will be about that size with the case on.

    for backup and recovery, please follow the standard procedure of general database backup and recovery. you need to backup both the georaster table and all related RDT tables.

  • Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software?  I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!

    Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
    1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
    2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
    3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
    4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
    5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
    Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external).

  • When is there supposed to be a good supply of the new iPhone? I'm so close to actually upgrading to a Galaxy S III

    When is there supposed to be a good supply of the new iPhone? I'm so close to actually upgrading to a Galaxy S III

    I had ordered my 5 with the ATT Upgrader app on the 18th.  I knew since I ordered late, it would be a while before I received it. I was ok with that...until my cousin texted me yesterday..she walked into the local Radio Shack and just bought one!  (She has Verizon)
    I called ATT and they were able to cancel my order since it was still "Processing" and hadn't even hit the "backorder" stage yet.  Radio Shack was sold out of the ATT version, so I called the Apple Store in my city. They didn't have any either, but told me to use the Apple Store app or website at 10pm every night. You go through the purchase process and when you get to the end, select "local pick up" and choose the local store.  There are 3 near me in Pittsburgh, so I just tapped each one until I got one that had it.  My purchase when through and I got the email this morning telling me I could pick it up today!  I'm actually done with work right now and about to head out! 
    Good luck!

  • What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector?

    What is the Best iPhone 5 Screen Protector? Anyone have any recommendations?

    I've used no less than 10 different types of iPhone screen protectors. Most are either difficult to put on (Zagg, invisible shield, etc.) or just plain suck (too thick, bubbles, folds, etc.). The HD are the best covers out there. They are very easy to apply bubble free. They also stay on once applied. Others that go on easy often fold up when a case is applied. This one does not. I use a Speck case which curled the other easy apply protectors but did not curl this one. Great product!

  • What java IDE is the best one?

    What java IDE is best ?
    What java IDE are you using?

    I agree that you should decide on what you want your IDE to do.
    How important is a GUI builder?
    Do you need support for, say Java Server Faces?
    Do you frequently work with XML files?
    etc, etc.
    That being sad: IntelliJ Idea ist the best in many areas, the most important one being usability. This sounds like a small deal, but as each and every feature is very-well implemented, it really boosts productivity.
    Currently it falls short in some areas, like support for Java Server Faces.
    "dingfelder": Where did you get these numbers from? Last I know, Idea was the third most used IDE.
    Also "quantity of users" is as good a criteria as the checksum of it's installer file.
    There's a saying in german that literally translates too "Eat sh*t - milliions of flies can't err." Sorry for the french, but you get the Idea I hope.
    Oh no, I can't believe that I posted on yet another "what IDE is best" thread. And even more so in a forum that should deal with other stuff.
    David001, I hope you're not simply a troll.

  • What is the best iPhone 4/4s extended battery case? I've been reading reviews for a bunch of them, but they all seem to say the same thing.

    What is the best iPhone 4/4s extended battery case? I've been reading reviews for a bunch of them, but they all seem to say the same thing.

    Personally most of my co-workers are using the Mophie case. They are great quality but can be pretty pricey. All of my fellow co-workers have been using this case to help with the upsetting battery drain that comes with ios5. I have seen people drop the the iPhone with this case on and seems to be a good sturdy case with an extra 9 hour battery life. Anyway's here is their web site if you want to look into these cases further.

  • Any good IDE for J2ME/MIDI programming ?

    Hi
    I am new to the J2ME world. I have to develope a GUI based application on iPAQ4350. But I am not given any ramp up time with awt programming. So I am wondering whether there is any good IDE ( like VB Editor ) with all standard widget ( like button, textfield etc) which I choose and create my GUI.
    Someone please post.

    You can try Sun One Studio Mobile Edition, but even this does not provide you with visual development of GUI like buttons, drag and drop.....This is J2me World honey, learn to be small....

  • Any ideas on the best Config for RAID-0 on the Precision M6800 using SSD's (and the mSATA slot)

    Hi,  I have an M6800 on order that has a single 500GB 7200RPM hard drive.  I am going to upgrade the storage the day it arrives (removing the 500GB drive and not utilizing it at all).  I plan on setting up an SSD RAID-0 array and want to take advantage of the mSATA slot if possible. 
    I thought of using the 2TB 2.5" Seagate/Samsung Momentus SpinPoint ST2000LM003 hard drive for storing unused vhd\vhdx files as well as video and photos,  then using an SSD RAID array for the OS, Applications, Data and any active vhd's. 
    Is it possible to set up RAID-0 using the mSATA SSD slot and the primary internal hard drive slot?  I want to use those 2 drive connectors so I can still use the 2TB 2.4" regular notebook hard drive without removing the Blu-Ray Writer?  I plan to write video to Blu-Ray discs that will be stored on the internal 2TB drive, so removing the optical drive is something I want to avoid.
    As a general question, Is there any advantage to using RAID with SSD's, or would a single 1TB mSATA SSD in the mSATA slot be nearly as fast in real world use as a 2 disk SSD RAID?  Would I have a noticibly quicker boot time and application load time if using SSD RAID?  I know the speed test specs show large increase in performance, but will the computer really run a lot faster with 2 x 500GB SSD in RAID-0 as opposed to getting a single 1TB SSD card for the mSATA slot?
    I was planning on getting the Samsung Evo 840 SSD 2.5" drive and the matching Evo 840 mSATA card.  There is a Samsung 850 series drive, but it is only available in 2.5" (mSATA is not available in the 850 as far as I can  tell).
    Please suggest the best solution that is compatible with the M6800 or provide any information that might help.
    Thanks

    Hi Ential, 
    Thanks for the info, I thought my question would go unanswered forever.  I posted the question in January, and I have since set up the computer.  Below I will detail my research and the configurations of drives that I have used on my M6800 since the time I posted the question you answered.  Perhaps the results of my research and testing might help you. 
    I originally I bought the same exact model SSD's that Dell sells with the computer thru their website;    the LiteOn 512GB drives (mSata & SATA),  I configured them in RAID-0.  The LiteOn drives are sold under the brand name Plextor,  I found the proper model numbers by looking at the SSD drive firmware upgrade file from the Dell support website.
    From what I understood,  my RAID-0 drive consisting of the 2 LiteOn drives had impressive performance using the AS SSD benchmark program,  I was getting performance scores over 1600 back in February.
    I have since changed to the Samsung EVO 850 1TB drives and again created a RAID-0 drive,  one SATA drive and one mSata drive totaling 2TB.  This drive array is getting AS SSD performance scores over 1900.  I contacted Samsung to get some advice on the configuration of the drives and I got some interesting advice that seemed to help a lot:
    Samsung told me to leave 200GB of the drives (100GB each) unallocated when I partitioned the drives,  this is generally referred to as "overprovisioning" (which you probably knew already).  I initially thought that overprovisioning could only be configured by the Samsung Magician software and a special process needed to take place to tell the firmware to utilize a specific amount of drive space for overprovisioninng.  The Samsung support agent told me that the Samsung SSD firmware (on both mSata and SSD) automatically uses any unallocated space as overprovisioned space (they are basically the same thing to the drive firmware) and it increases performance in a very  noticible way when you have sustained use of the drive and/or durinng the time in between the TRIM process (garbage collection).  The unallocated space is used by  the firmware to write data to while blocks of data are awaiting internal wiping initiated by the TRIM process.
    Since I have 200GB of unallocated space,  I am able to have more sustained deletion and writing of data between TRIM/Garbage Collection runnninng than I would ever utilize without affecting the performance of the drive.  Basically most SSD drives have performance decrease throughout  the day until the TRIM process is completed by the drives firmware,  so Samsung instructed me to leave at least 10% of the drive space unallocated to limit that problem.  Smaller drives likely need a higher percentage of space unallocated as compared to larger drives since the daily amount of read/write operations is typically the same regardless of drive size.   The amount  of space left unallocated/overprovisioned is based upon the amount of read/write operations done on any given drive,  not based on the size of the drive itself.  If you run drive intensive applications, you would then want to overprovision more GB of drive space,  if you have light use of the drive then you can overprovision/unallocate less GB of drive space (all of the configuration info regarding overprovisioning and TRIM was given to me by a Samsung specialist over the telephone - I called their tech support phone number and got a storage specialist to talk to me). 
    I will look into the SATA version on the optical bay,  I never thought about that with this computer.  My prior computer was a Dell XPS 17 3D (L702X) notebook which had 2 internal 2.5" SATA,  in which I installed an optical bay drive.  On that specific computer the optical bay was technically an SATA 3,  but due to design constraints it couldnt run at that speed since there was voltage leakage across some pathways in the chipset when the optical bay has read-write throughput that is typical of a hard drive (as opposed to much less data transfer typically seen on an optical drive).  The M6800 can be factory configured with an optical bay hard drive, so I suspect it can support one properly.  The XPS 17 was not available with an optical bay drive as an OEM configuration from Dell,  so it couldnt be expected to properly support one.  The design issue with the voltage leak across the chipset pathways on the XPS 17 was known by Dell,  but due to the low bandwidth of an optical drive, the problem never occured with any of the factory OEM configurations.
    It is possible that the optical bay  hard drive offered by Dell (the exact OEM Drive installed by Dell) could have an internal limitation to SATA 2 due to a similar design limitation.  It would not be surprising if an SATA channel designed for optical drives had SATA 2 speed since I suspect there is no SATA Optical drives that could use more than 3GB/s of data anyway. 
    I purchased 2 of the 2TB 2.5" hard drives that Dell uses for OEM configurations for this computer,  they are Samsung 5400 RPM drives.  I have one in a 2.5" internal bay and the other in the optical bay - I converted my Blu Ray Recorder/Writer drive to an external drive.  I will do some extended time speed tests on the optical bay drive to see if its performance matches the internal drive (which  is the same exact model drive - I have 2 of the same Seagate 2TB drives installed with the same firmware).
    I use the pair of 2TB drives to store .vhd and .vhdx drives for test platforms for Hyper-V machines.  The virtualized servers with high hard drive utilization get moved to the SSD RAID-0 array,  the rest are stored on the 4TB rotational drives. 
    If you have any questions or comments for me,  please let me know.  I will see what info I can find on the optical bay SATA revision for this notebook,  I am very curious to find out if it is in fact SATA 2.  I will let you know what my test results are,  I will try to use the AS SSD benchmark program,  I believe it will work with rotational drives,  otherwise I will find another benchmark utility - do you have a recommendation on which to use?
    Thanks again for your info and for pointing out the possible limitation of the optical bay..

  • Any other ideas on the reception issue?

    I am wanting to ask if anyone else has any other ideas on fixing the reception issue?
    I just got off the phone with an Apple "Supervisor". He agreed with me that the software update will only correctly display AT&T's signal that I am getting. He agreed that it will NOT remedy the dropped calls that alot of us are now getting with the use of the new iPhone 4. He also agreed that I either need to hold the phone differently or pay extra money either to Apple or to another manufacturer for a case that I have never used on previous iPhones.
    So, I am not going to return my beautiful new iPhone 4, but I do want to find out if anyone else has found anything else to remedy this problem without doing anything listed above. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but I am tired of dealing with the big corporation that Apple has become. The same corporation that now, only cares about the number of iPhones and "Bumpers" sold as opposed to the customers satisfaction that purchased their iPhones.

    I don't have any problems either, with or without the bumpers on... it would be nice if ATT had mentioned where in particular their network was having the issues... also I've seen a lot of reports from the UK re the reception problems and one carrier's sim card (which is slightly too big and is shorting the antenna) seems to be the culprit in some cases...
    AT&T's statement is below
    "AT&T has come through with a statement on reports the company has been capping upload speeds for iPhone users.
    In a statement we first spotted through D: All Things Digital, AT&T is describing the problem as one pertaining to a software issue.
    AT&T informs that a software defect some Alcatel-Lucent equipment has been crippling 3G HSUPA performance, and says that vendor is working on a repair, though a schedule isn’t forthcoming just right now.
    AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent jointly identified a software defect — triggered under certain conditions – that impacted uplink performance for Laptop Connect and smartphone customers using 3G HSUPA-capable
    wireless devices in markets with Alcatel-Lucent equipment. This impacts less than two percent of our wireless customer base. While Alcatel-Lucent develops the appropriate software fix, we are providing normal 3G uplink speeds and consistent performance for affected customers with HSUPA-capable devices."

  • The Best iPhone case I ever gotten

    http://blog.monkeykit.com/2007/09/14/review-eco-iphone-shield-by-agent-18/
    I have bought alot of cases for the iphone and this one is the best and the most secure and it protects the silver lining on the phone and it's eco friendly, I bought one in the apple store and all the employees love it too, any questions let me know.

    I read the review and bought an Agent 18 case over the weekend.
    Taking it back tomorrow.
    I typically don't use cases for my hand held electronics. Aside from looking like a tool, it's redundant.
    But the back of the iPhone is so slick... I'm afraid my cat could easily knock it off the table if she were feeling frisky.
    When I bought the 'phone on June 29, I also picked up an Incase.
    http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/protective-cover-cl59019
    The case comes with instructions that recommend frequently removing the case to clean out dust as they can scratch the chrome. Fine. But frequent removing and reinstalling the case leaves things fitting less than snug. And leaving the case on will result in a very marred chrome ring on your 'phone.
    So for now, I am still searching that perfect case: one that offers a snug, grippy fit without damaging the device. Anyone?
