Tell them that then. They're obviously not making the case because they don't think that they'll come out with reasonable profits /Roi it's all a part of their business plan.

If otterbox doesn't want to make a case for the phone then take your business elsewhere if they don't don't want your money. I'm not defending otterbox, I can care less because I prefer minimal cases all I'm saying is that if a company doesn't want to make a case then oh well, I don't find the need to beg them to. I'll just never buy their cases again (as if I'm referring to any other case maker).

It isn't expensive but they won't make it. So... Nothing else you can do about it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AshtonTS:
Why? They actually make stuff for the nexus 4...

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Khaiyan:
Essentially one screen protector (unlike the many many variants they provide for other handsets). And a flimsy knock-off of the Ringke Slim (just read the reviews for it). Hardly cutting edge stuff when you compare their product range for other phones.

Yeah I gotta tell you, I got a commuter for my vivid and over time I really started hating that phone. Eventually I shed the otterbox and I found I liked the phone a lot more. These bulky cases really take the joy out of your phone. However my buddy has a commuter on his gnex, and it designed alot better than my Vivids half assed one. Alot thinner and stylish. If they make one, I hope it stylish and not a big brick like the one for my vivid was. Only thing I really like about the otterboxes is port cover protection... Why can't any other manufacturer do this too?

Anyway I've signed the petition and hassled them on twitter, so I'm doing my part :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sub1287:
I loved my defender on my Bionic. Yes it was bulky and collected dust and lent like crazy but nothing came close to that level of protection.

I'm pretty happy with my ballistic case now and certainly am not begging a company to take my money.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] las5muertas:
I liked the otterbox commuter case on the Motorola Atrix but not buying one of them anymore.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dachurchpcguy:
meh

I'm perfectly satisfied with my MyBat Tuff case for the N4. I started with the black version now I have the beer version. I have two of them now for a grand total of $17.95. I doubt Otterbox will be that cheap and unless they make a Defender, I'm not interested.

The only issue I had was that the beer version blocked the proximity sensor which I fixed with my box cutter.

I spoke with a few ottorbox people . they said unless they get multi-hundred thousands to millions. They will not be marketing a case for the nexus 4.

Man I can't imagine my vivid even sold half as much as the nexus 4, people barely knew of its existence, and yet otterbox made a whole case line for them. I don't get what their deal is.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
who cares lol. buy a case from someone that supports our phone. otterbox is not the only "tuff case" out there anymore. if they don't want our money, we will support someone else!

The otter doesn't cut it for me. I had a life proof and that was a real case. Both my otter defender and commuter broke (first gen). Both of them also rubbed on the phone and damaged it aesthetically (iPoo 4).

PS I'm a paramedic and many times you need to look up certain drugs.

They best drop protection is yourself.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pjc123:
I am interested in this case. Could you give me the dimensions of the phone with the case installed? I want to make sure that it will fit whatever mount I choose.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pjc123:
Received your reply to my PM, thanks; because of this I need to move to the next size iOttie holder according to an email from iOttie. For anyone who cares, this was dacurchpcguy's response:

5.5"L x 3"W x .625" thick

Measured with a tape measure so it's close.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dachurchpcguy:
I do building maintenance which often entails construction/destruction. The MyBat case is great, I drop the phone frequently and I've hit my holster more than a few times ... no issues.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

I got a similar case for my daughter's HTC Sensation, same seller, same design. It's similar to a Defender, the rubber is on the outside, hard plastic on the inside. No built in screen protector but it does have a nice stand. Handy for watching videos or for Skype.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ghostman:
Does the body glove give good protection?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scottx .:
I ordered a seidio active. Can't wait around forever for otterbox. Bumper just can't offer enough protection for me.

I work construction, glass glazier. I mainly cut glass and do easy stuff but still. :)

The knockoff ottorbox case shattered the screen on my last phone from a 2-2.5ft drop. They are made of lie quality hard plastic. Unlike ottorbox. Better then no case tho.

Currently I use Acase on my nexus 4 it's very nice. It's rubber then a plastic shell. Reminds me of casemate cases

[LG Optimus 3D] alphatia:
people just read for gods sake ..i successfully downgraded...but the tutorial u r using is for BRICKED PHONES BRICKED PHONES NOT TO DOWNGRADE ..IF U WANNA DOWNGRADE DO IT WITH THE NORMAL LG FLASH TOOL
[LG Optimus 3D] karaliolio:
Here is how I did it :

1. Flash BOOTV21E ROM bin file with LG Flash Tool, just the way you flashed ICS bin before.

2. After the flashing end, flash the same way the baseband file your going to use.

3. Enjoy Gingerbread.

I didn't reinstall windows or omap drivers or anything. Used the same drivers an LG flash tool that I used for ICS.

About the constant connect/disconnect - I have the same problem, no idea why this is happening. So here is what I do - Start flashing, disconnect the phone, then i DONT remove the battery, just reconnect while pressing VOL+ and keep pressing it until I see in device manager port 41, after that everything goes fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] GeFGear:
You mean i can flash from 4.0.4 XBSALL to original 21E."KDZ" ????
[LG Optimus 3D] alphatia:
Yes but itsbetter to flash bin cuz kdz didnt work for me...

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

And if u r bricked and device cant detect lg driver use xbsalls tutorial
[LG Optimus 3D] GeFGear:
XBSALL tutorial didn't work for me i was trying one month :(
[LG Optimus 3D] TMProduct1onZ:
xbsalls tutorial is for bricked devices...

if you can get into download mode then your phone is not bricked ;)

all you got to do is download bootv21e.rar from here, unpack it and flash the .bin..
[LG Optimus 3D] GeFGear:
Okay, but how i can go to download mode now ??? when i hold vol + and connect cable nothing is happend ....

Sure i can install back 4.0.4 if i use u-boot.

And when i try to flash 2.3.5 my phone is didn't start , and again i can use only u-boot to instal 4.0.4
[LG Optimus 3D] TMProduct1onZ:
There are few devices that cant downgrade.. so if you flash bootv21e and your phone doesnt start then you are stuck with the ics port till somebody find a fix for that :/

I downgrage success!

But that finished downgrage it reported SD card is not Damaged, so to reformat.

You should make a copy of all data and stored on your computer.

Guide: Solution

LG FlashTool will recognise the phone and flash it completely this time.

P920 after a reboot will go to CWM. You can flash your personal backup or reboot to STOCK V21E.

want to get new phone and want buy it unlocked (the s3).

i want to go to a monthly paid system either with tmobile or other like simplemobile..eg

so what do i get , quad core or dual core? i know dual core works with the tmobile system but i believe the quad core will nowl work in the states, am i right?

i have tried looking up google for this answer and just got more confused with the answers. liked the display at the top of this forum which is helpful.

can anyone suggest a reputible place to buy the s3 (one that it is really new) ?

thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_herrero:
I was testing CM10, and the first week ended without any problem. Almost 0 FCs, upgrading nighlies, everything as expected. I was on 20121126 nightly, and since this morning, it is simply refusing to turn on. Just like that, no lights, no Cyanogen bootanimation, no download mode, no TWRP recovery...

What I've tried:

-charging, with 2 different wall chargers

-2 different batteries, Samsung's original and a 4300 mAh

-left it without its battery for a while

BTW, I didn't drop it. The bad thing is I can't simply send it to warranty because I bought it on UK (far from home) and without having the chance to flash a stock firmware I can't even send it here as it is...

Any suggestion/thought?

Thanks!

dont tell me phone cant cuz it did it "a cat cant bark fact" "htc sensation went 4g on att fact"

so i dont think htc changed hardwear in phones but think they put soft some kind of lock on it for tmob can we unlock this phone
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No.

There is no software lock.

It's different hardware.

Non-T Mobile ROMs are affected the same way, using pure AOSP or mods thereof, which hav eno input from T Mobile whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
Actually, if you take a look at the radio thread, apparently the hardware is the same but the modems are different (something I learned only recently). I have an Australian/Canadian edition of the Sensation which runs on AT&T 4g and I posted my modems in that thread. YMMV though, don't blame anyone if you brick your phone.

You might have roamed into T-Mobile 4G momentarily!!! Just saying.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/02/23/will-t-mobile-usas-4g-lte-network-allow-for-att-4g-roaming/

And it seems AT&T may be using AWS spectrum for 4G (not LTE) in some market. Which is what T-Mobile use everywhere.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
Hello everyone!

I have recently purchased a galaxy note, and since then have had a constant problem of auto shutdown, at the beginning it happened once or twice so I didn't even mind, but now its just becoming too frequent for the phone to even be usable!

I can't return the note, and have no warranty (nor money to buy another one). Son no viable solution there.

I sold my previous phone so I could buy the Note, without it I am phoneless.

I have looked EVERYWHERE for a solution and haven't come to one single conclusion yet!

I will now post some facts about the phone's situation:

Model GT N7000

Rooted: yes, via cwm

Rom: Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Beta, flashed via cwm (but the issue occurred on stock ICS, gingerbread and costom ROMs too, stock ROMs where flashed via PC ODIN and mobile ODIN)

Kernel: Phillz flashed via cwm

-Does not shut down while connected to charger (and is charging).

-Tried different kernels and ROMs, official and custom ones, and the bug kept happening.

-Shutdowns are completely random (although I found that using ROM Toolbox and setting CPU min to 500 and governor to Performance the phone became more stable and didn't shutdown so frequently. Recently these last 3 days this has become pointless, the phone is unusable unless connected to charger)

-Auto shutdowns happen when phone is in sleep, or awake, no matter what I am doing with it, it just happens.

I am thinking of replacing the battery, since no matter what software changes I do it keeps shutting down maybe a new battery will help.

But then again, I don't know, I'm just desperate...

Thank you for all those who take the time to read this!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Interesting, maybe the logs show something. Check logcat app for that. Elixer2 has a good overviewable one. There might be some hints shown as to what is happening. I cant really help you with interpreting.

Do you do clean installs? mind the brickbug

Battery levels, they show correct values? Also after reboot same value as before? You can set in settings, display I think battery tp percent. Easier monitoring from statusbar.

Try andrometer to check voltage levels as wel. Fully charged should be around 4200 mv.

Do a little dance to brighten up your mood.

Next, or first, check if battery contacts are clean and alligned when putting battery in. It might just be a loose fitting. I doubt that thought.

With autoshutdown, you seen android saying, shutting down now, or does it go black and just crashes so to speak?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
Thank you so much for the help!

I have been suggested to purchase another battery, and had actually been thinking about that!

Will andrometer confirm my suspicions that it is a battery issue? :)

The battery connectors are clean, cleaned them when this problem first appeared.

And the shutdown is as if I suddenly removed the battery, the power is cut right off the device.

I cant dance but I'll play guitar, that always helps me, thank you for the suggestion! xD
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturax555:
hum, not software related imo, really an hardware issue, electrical issue, related to battery as it does not occur while charged.

first of all: easily done: remove any SD card and try. still the Pb?

then borrow another battery, fully charged, and try. Still the PB?

then with your own battery again (as it does not come from the battery), check the electrical contacts (dirty, embossed...), try to check that mechanically the battery is firmly kept in place, add sticky tape/pieces of paper to maintain the battery. Still the PB?

then i am afraid that the best to do is going to... after sale service... it may be only a small welding a bit cracked on the power circuit, sometimes a small vibration or a temperature difference opens the power line and your phone immediately shut down. It is almost impossible to locate and to fix for common people.

good luck mate !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GwynBleidd:
Side note: setting CPU min to 500 and then setting governor to Performance is pointless, because performance = always max CPU frequency.

Anyway, I can think of various ways of checking whether your CPU is misbehaving at some frequencies (like SetCPU stress tests on different freqs set to both min and max) but that's likely not the case, all signs do point to some kind of battery issue.

If I were you, I'd try to find a battery somewhere (friend/relative/whoever else with GNote, or even a shop) and see if the problem persists with another battery. If it disappears = buy a new battery, whether official or copy or bigger size, whatever. If it persists = at least try to flash some more customizable rom/kernel combination, of ICS kind - where you can over/under-clock/volt.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
Thank you saturax555 and GwynBleidd for your suggestions!

Unfortunatlly I dont know anyone close to me that has got a Gnote, but I will buy the battery and test it out, its not expensive at all, I've seen a 2600 (Or 2400, can't quite remember) mha battery for salle somewhere, if it fixes the issue I'll even end up with a larger battery!

I'll inform you guys of the results after I get a new battery, so if anyone else has the same problem we can help them too :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
+1 on all above comments. It does appear battery/ hardware issue. Lets hope a new battery fixes it.

Andrometer will only confirm if charging level is reached. Also you can use it to check if at certain voltage this occures. It gives false positive on good health battery.So thats not a thorough indicator.

Guitar is way cooler btw :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
I searched for andrometer and all I got was an app to measure distance using GPS :s

So I got battery spy today and these are the results so far (See image).

My voltage is usually around 3900mV and 4300mV, usually at 4192mV, can anyone say if these values are normal?? :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Appears normal. Battery appears charged. app is called androsensor, mixed them up.

Do you get weird artifacts prior to fallout? Like screen flickering, lines and such?

Am so interested in cracking this nut.

You could check emmc brickbug app. You will have bug as all notes, but it also does a sector check. Like if part of emmc is corrupted. Am not expecting this to be case as clearly its battery related. Just want to be sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
No flickering or anything, it's just like if I suddenly removed the battery.

Got new results from emmc check and I downloaded andrometer

Thank you so much for your help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Cool.

I have a hunch its not battery, cause unstable battery usually(not 100% sure about symptoms) has those flickering issues.

Its not emmc, test passed yes!

you had it on different roms. With clean installs and different modems, kernels, etc. No common denominator romwise. maybe app or hardware.

Then its interesting to keep both cpu temp and battery temp in check. See if there are spikes prior to fallout. cpu temp I am not sure. you can try cooltool, disable gauges and setup cpu utilization, frequency, ram size, battery % and temperature.

watch those values for abnormalities when it occurs.

Also check the logs for errors/warnings (elixer2 has a good one)

But I am at a point of really guessing. I have a feeling its hardware but am hoping now for rogue app or battery still.

maybe someone else has some ideas.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
Hey guys! My new battery just arrived and I just plugged it into my note and it is back to normal!

I had this same issue.. Mine was bought last year.. Just around 2 weeks ago i want to root and put a custom Rom...

I root using cf-root + philz kernel.. Then i flash rocketrom 4.1.2... V3 i think.. Then this issue came.... It 's does have flickering issue before it' s going off.. This all thing doesn't happen while on charge... I'm still not try using others battery..... I also have flash others custom Rom.. Like Ultimate, fusion.... And lastly i unroot it using stock fw at sammobile.. Still it's happen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubenLockheart:
Try changing the battery, that fixed my note right up!

Is the symptoms are the same as mine its not software related, order a new battery, and if you want you can root and flash the rom that you want so when it arrives your note is ready to go! :)

Tip: root the note and get battery calibration from the play store, it's free, you will need it to recalibrate your new battery so you get real values displayed and to avoid excessive battery drain.
