Hi,

I found this case on Amazon .

Did anybody of you already buy it?

It looks very good, and the aluminium plate inside the case should give a very good protection if you put your Nexus 4 in a rucksack or bag with some other things.

Is there a similar leather case with some sort of protection built into it? Because the main downside of this bag is its high price...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dcarpenter85:
Looks like a quality product but the price is pretty high to buy it without any reviews.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Looks good, but $30? Probably not. I'll think about it when it's $20 since it's aluminum plated on ONE SIDE ONLY.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RJM77:
I've ordered it but it won't ship for another week or two. I currently have the SGP Crumena leather pouch for my Galaxy Nexus. They aren't making one for the N4, so I had to hunt down for another similar pull tab case. The only ones I found are this one and another from PDair but theirs does not have the pull tab. I had a Proporta leather case for my old iPod Touch and found it to be very good quality.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ace7196:
Maybe I don't get it, but won't this shield the phone from cell/wifi/etc)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ladidaaa:
I think you are right, but as richteralan said - the aluminium plate is one side only, and the antennas are on the back - so they should work fine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1stGenRex:
I bought one. I'm not typically into these types of cases, but heck, why not?! I've spent $30 on dumber things :P
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RJM77:
Got an email from them. They cancelled my order because of "compatibility issues". Seems like they were intending to use one of their cases for another phone for the N4 and it doesn't fit properly? who knows. pretty annoying though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ysalamiri:
Heads up! I bought it before it got discontinued. Just tried it out.

They are right.. It doesn't fit. It's waaaay too tight and the phone doesn't fit all the way in :( That's a real bummer imho. That's the best looking leather case out there in my opinion.

So if anyone knows of a similar case. Please let me know :) Doesn't need to Nexus 4 exclusive. Just Nexus 4 compatible :p

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
Hi guys,

The following problem has taken me litterally DAYS of reading XDA, trying everything I could, but still no solution. Googling and searching this forum didn't help either, and it's totally weird.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000, on which were installed, almost two years ago, the ClockWorkMod recovery, Darky's ROM, Froyo, and everything was fine for months. Then, one day, out of nowhere, it switched off, without notice. Impossible to switch it on again! I remembered having seen some strange battery behavior few days before, like falling from 80% to 30% with no reason, so I thought of a battery issue. I plugged it for a full night. In the morning, I was able to boot it, but not easily, and all apps were crashing: during boot, or when launched manually. Yes, all I tried were crashing! Then, the phone became fully not bootable: press the power button, the screen shows "Samsung GT-I9000", then switches off...

I ordered a new battery: same result.

A guy from a phone repair store told me to plug the phone, and keep the power button down for 2 minutes: after this, I could reboot the phone, and thus, wipe data (factory reset). But it didn't help.

After "playing" a bit with it, I realized that the problem is:

the phone won't boot if an external source of power is not connected (as said above, white text shows, then the phone "dies")

if started with power cord/usb, the phone will work fine, all the time

if started with power cord/usb, and the external power source removed once the phone is booted, the phone will work fine, UNTIL the screen goes black for power saving mode or by pressing pwoer button, after which, within seconds, you can't open the phone anymore. I mean: if you press the start/power button immediately after the screen goes black, the screen goes on again, and the phone is ok. If you wait for few seconds, it's over, you can't do anything, and have to reboot the phone. This said, the phone doesn't vibrate, so I suppose it's not really off. But then... what is this state??

I really tried my best: updated to GB2.3.6, bricked my phone trying to re-install the CWM and having a bootloop, installed and used Odin and Heimdall, reverted to stock kernel, etc, etc, etc.

I feel sorry to bother you guys, I was really convinced that with the incredibly huge amount of data, how-tos, explanations, etc. I would manage to get rid of this, but this problem, though I don't really think it's hardware (but maybe it is?) stayed across so many kernels, roms, etc. that it's killing me!

For the record:

Model number:	GT-I9000

Micro-software (?):	2.3.6

Baseband:	I9000XXJW4

Kernel:	2.6.35.7-I9000XWJW7-CL1125830 dpi@DELL141 #2 (problem was the same with 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937se.infra@SEP-62 #2)

Version number:	GINGERBREAD.XXJW4

Any help would be greatly appreciated, considering that a wireless phone that needs to be wired is a little bit of an issue... :laugh:

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
That's a very strange problem... let's try something, remove the battery, sim card and sd card and hold the power button for 1-2 minutes, btw when the screen is off, is really the phone off or just the screen? did you try to make a call to your phone when the screen is off?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
Hi timberman thanks for the answer!

You're very right: I totally forgot to say that what initially allowed me to restart my phone "regularly" was this procedure of pressing the power button for 2 minutes (hint given by a man from a repair shop). Before this, I couldn't (kind of a bootloop).

It's a very good question! I don't think the phone is really off in fact, because there isn't this vibration saying the phone turned off... Let me try to call it!

F..k! I was redirected right away to the voicemail... so... phone was off :(

I'm starting to think it's an harware issue... I reinstalled lots of ROMs, kernel, etc. Same ****...

Any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
Hi mark, i'm totally out of ideas for your problem... anyway, maybe you read mi answer wrong, in your post you say that the guy in the repair shop tell yo to press the power button with THE PHONE PLUGGED IN, but what i say is press the power button 2 minutes WITHOUT BATTERY, btw i keep thinking about this.. if any idea comes to my mind i tell you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
Hi again, try to play a song and turn the screen off to see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
Hi! Answering is already nice ;)

I tried the button pressed for 2 minutes without battery: didn't change anything.

I tried playing a sound: MAN, YOU'RE A GENIUS!!! Launching the music, then forcing the screen off with power button lets the music play, and OF COURSE, I can reactivate the screen by pressing the home button. The screen goes off normally again after few seconds, but the music is still playing, etc. So, as long as the music goes, the bug doesn't happen!

Other hints:

For some time already, when I was removing the phone from my ear after a call, quite often, the screen was staying off, and I had to press a lot of buttons to have it on again, and be able to close the call

The moment where it crashes when booting without power is the very INSTANT where the initial white text (Samsung Galaxy S) goes brighter. So, if you unplug the power cord just after this, the boot ends normally. In summary, something happens at boot just after screen brightness changes which is the same thing happening when the screen goes off for power saving. All this, only when no external power is plugged.

Hehe, we (you) are making progress ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
Hi again, it seems like your phone is unable to exit the deep sleep mode or something like that so, let`s try another thing, in ICS or JB there´s an option in the developer option settings that unfortunately is not present in gingerbread roms, so, you can try to switch to a ICS/JB rom and go to settings-developer options and disable the "PM sleep mode" let`s see what happens then ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
I tried to install ICS, with a GREAT tutorial found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494493 Sadly, the phone reboots after installing the ICS kernel, and then doesn't work anymore, I had to reinstall the Gingerbread (I tried twice).

Last news: I let the phone play music (sound muted!!) for about 12 or 18h: all was fine! So I decided to pause the music, and see what happens. Boom ((c) Steve Jobs)!! The screen went black, and phone was "dead". I was expecting this, so no panick, I put back my SIM card, my SD card, and tried to reboot, with power cord plugged: it boots until the screen shows the small loader animation, then the empty battery image, but then goes black again, instead of showing the charging battery!! Download mode is still available, so I'll try to reflash the kernel, say.

It's like if each time screen was put black, phone was dying.

I can't stress enough how I appreciate your help: even if we can't save my phone, it's very pleasant to be able to TRY things. Thanks man!! :good:

Update: I reinstalled all... and it's not, even with power cord in, going further than the "Samsung Galaxy S" white text. The moment this picture disappears from screen, phone is dead. For good this time ? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
you tried to install the rom on the recovery instead of odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
Hi! No, I didn't, I used Odin. But now, I can't try anything anymore :( The only "results" I can get from this phone are:

- enter download mode and update from Odin (maybe from Heimdall, too, but I didn't check)

- reboot until the first moment the screen goes black, after which, the phone becomes fully unresponsive

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
so, you can`t install any rom at the moment?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
I can! I can install any kernel, or ROM, trhough Odin, but I can't boot at all... Except if someone has a magical trick, I would say it smells like coffin... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timberman4444:
Pretty bad signals there.. i think you should go to a repair shop or buy another device :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc_B_:
Sadly, yes... thanks for helping however !
[Asus Transformer TF700] p4nDafk:
Hi there,

i was searching for quite some time now, but didnt find anything describing my problem.

I have a rooted tf700 with 10.4.4.20 (jelly bean). Because of the poor performance of the tablet i want to try different roms, to boost its performance. I have done this serveral times with my phone.

I'm just wondering if the unlocking process is any different with a rooted JB device, than to all the guides out there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 (which works for JB devices too)

then i'll install twrp and from here on i can flash the roms as usual.

hope to clarify this quickly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
In your case, it's pretty simple, just download the apk and unlock your device, then download goomanager from the market to use it to install twrp, then use twrp to flash what ever you want.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
Unfortunately it is not that simple. I'm in the same boat and have been trying for weeks to unlock as have others. The unlocking tool seems to not work for many right now. See these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017727

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 (Last few pages)

If you have success unlocking, PLEASE POST IT HERE so that others will have hope.

But, if you have success unlocking, then buhohitr is correct, should be simple.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bjmarler:
I also can confirm that it seems not to work anymore as simply as previously. I think goomanager no longer is able to install twrp. I went to the twrp site and they stated that they have temporarily turned off that feature due to problems.

However you can still get it to work, you just have to unock with the Asus unlock tool, then manually use fastboot to flash over twrp.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
Yes, but it's the unlocking that is also not working anymore. At least for a lot of people.
[Asus Transformer TF700] p4nDafk:
eesingd rocks

Sorry that it took me that long to respond.

In fact it all worked perfectly fine (on 4th december). I did exactly what buhohitr suggested. The unlockingprocess went through with no problems at all. As it was already rooted, i just got the goomanager from the market, installed the recovery and from there on it was business as usual.

I flashed the cleanmod inheritance(?) mod. And after using it for quite some time now. I LOVE IT.

I modified the dpi, now everything is smooth and small and i love (again) all the possibilities to modify the tablet. It supports the browser2ram feature, which gives the browser a huge performance boost.

Just to emphasize this one more time.

If you have any performance issues with the infinity (lags/unresponsiveness/etc) unlock it and try the custom roms, ofc after reading about the whole process.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
Right so here's the deal:

As of now, flashing a galaxy s rom boots up fine and gets me to the lockscreen...however, touchscreen doesn't work and so I can't test any of the other features (wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc.).

The aim of this thread/project is to create a "flash-pack" that will allow us to flash ICS Galaxy S AOSP/CM9 based roms (much like Hanthesolo's pack for GB roms)

Sooo, let's get to work:

Touchscreen

i know that files in /system/lib/hw and /system/usr/idc are necessary for it to work, but replacing them makes no difference. Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
reserved just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ti-pich:
So it could only be a matter of finding how to get the touchscreen working to get all the galaxy s roms working if I understand? This is if every other thing work indeed. I've always aksed myself wath was so different between them that prevent us to be using their rom. Hope you get the touchscreen working so you can test if evrething works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The touchscreen mostly don't work because the I9000 uses a different touchscreen drivers than us. The i9000 uses the mxt224 drivers and we use the qt600xxx (I don't remember the digits) drivers. We do however use the same touchscreen but only with a different driver. And I think the changes between those drivers can fix the US home button problem in the US players.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
the drivers are in /system/usr/idc right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Not exactly. The drivers itself are in the kernel. the file in /system/usr/idc is the calibration file for the touchscreen. I think it indicates the kernel where the touchscreen should calibrate. The thing is I think the I9000 took the mxt224 drivers from crespo because I tried one day from our kernel source and it didin't work. (Maybe I didin't have the right calibration tool too.)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] theraf:
ok, but since i'm using the ypg1 kernel, all i need to do is swap the correct files from the galaxy s /system folder

Switched to Nova launcher and am really liking it so far. Only thing I miss is the calander widget from Touchwiz that will actually show the month with appointments visible.

Is there anything like that for Nova?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
You widgets should still be the same. Unless you are running a asop Rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kwheaties:
The widgets are attached to the TW launcher so they won't be there. Check out Pure Calendar in the play store...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
business Calendar free has very similar widgets, and they can be themed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bielinsk:
Thanks, that agenda is exactely what I was looking for.

Loving Nova, really fast and clean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DaWeav:
I used Agenda until I found Android Pro Widgets (APW). I like APW since it also has a Facebook widget that I use for as my Facebook app instead of the actual Facebook app. Works for me.

Team Unlimited has decided to drop all support for the Windows OS. This is due to massive amounts of trolling on forums and in our support channel as well as flamming us for our decision to not support Windows 8 or any version of Windows 64bit.

We attempted to explain to anyone who had questions why this was not supported - drivers are unreliable, percentage of risk for bricking was too high, and just general complications - but we were greeted with people who demanded support and others that came into our support # to tell us that "clearly we didn't test 64bit because it works" and "wanted to let us know that we could support 64bit."

We want to make it clear that we make these tools with our free time, for free, for you - our users. We made a decision to provide clear and concise directions and a live support channel. We can revoke all or part of this at any time and will should people become abusive to our team members.
