Hey guys I ordered my N4 about some time ago and it's gonna be here soon. Meanwhile i was going through the accessories thread and i found many cases here but I'm unable to decide on what to get. Need your help.

Firstly, should i get a full case with a front screen guard or a bumper with front and back protection? I really want to show off the back of my phone but then i don't want to screw it up either so i need your help in deciding for a case combo that will offer good protection. I really don't want flip cases or pouches so that's out of the question now. I've found a few i like and if anyone is using any of them currently, a small review will be appreciated! Here are the ones i liked

1. Poetic Bumper Case

I bought XO skins for the front and Xtreme guards for the back.

Also bought Poetic Atmostphere for more protection.

And bought the Ringke Slim and Nillkin cases for a slim and good feeling/looking case.

So IMO, I recommend those.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phermey:
you think you could edit out the code tags?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
Thanks i'll consider them!

Done! Sorry for the trouble!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Josh98:
I'm waiting on the Poetic Atmosphere case too, iPhone 5 one looks great for what I'm looking for. Also got the Xtremeguard skins, can't comment on them yet as I don't have the device.. :|
[Nexus 4 Accessories] trident167:
I just purchased #3 http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main...id=303&zenid=ec46bb59dba170c54c2d33f5f61b0660

Looks nice and slim.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phermey:
no trouble at all. im just lazy :P but no doubt you will get more responses if peeps can just click.

edit: i got a thing for the robot and i am not ashamed to admit it.

what i would like to see in a case is a way to allow for the sound to come out. my att gs2 speaker is slightly curved to allow for it to bounce. everything i see does nothing but smother that which is already smothered. i think i am going to do nothing more than stick a couple of milimeter wide and tall lumps on the bottom corners and call it good.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SwayART:
I bought the Ringke White Slim Case and I love it! It looks awesome and feels awesome. I also just purchased 3 full body xtreme guards. Total was 6 bucks! So i recommend those! :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
All of them!!! lol

I got BSE, x-line case(i think), a Rearth case, and a Poetic bumper case but I know I will be getting the official bumper and hopefully a curved screen protector from SGP in the future to replace the front BSE if they make one. Same goes for the SGP Bumpers too. I'll be posting pics of Rearth and BSE soon. Someone should make a thread with a first post containing only user submitted pictures of accessories.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
I actually didn't like the look of the atmospheric case. It's just the matter of personal preference although! Let me know about the xtremeguard when you can i heard they have orange peel effect which is why i'm undermining them.

Well we all are lazy so i don't blame you :P Even i liked the cruzerlite a lot and i'm considering getting it let's see what i finally decide!

One more point to Ringke i guess :P How's xtremeguard? I heard it has orange peel. Is it good enough for protection compared to others?

Does it have all the cutouts?

Has the poetic bumper arrived? How is it? Considering that, ringke or the official bumper. Would be grateful if you wrote a small review for each case! And please post pics ASAP will help me in deciding a lot! Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SysAdmNj:
I got to go with diztronic, thats what I use on my galaxy nexus now. Thin,light, and goes on and off easily yet fits snug.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
I'll be posting pics of the Rearth case once I get my BSE installed tonight. The poetic bumper doesn't ship till the 30th I believe. I will create another thread for accessory pics if no one else does.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
Looking forward to it. Does BSE have cutouts for proximity sensor? Which is better BSE or Xtremeguard? Considering either and which is better among diztronic and rearth?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Xtreme guards are pretty good. But you can tell the quality difference with that and XO skins. XO feels much more premium and smoother. And little to no orange peel effect. So I would suggest XO over Xtreme if you don't mind paying a couple more bucks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] talhak91:
Wait it out if you don't like what you see.

I'm waiting for tech21's Impact Band Cases to come out for the Nexus 4. They replied to a PM on Facebook, and on their official facebook page, that cases for the Nexus 4 are coming, and check it out for yourself, those cases will be better than anything out so far; a good amount of protection from drops, and a detachable clear backplate for showing off the backs of our phones. Here's a link to their Impact Band for the iPhone 5.

I've been using the Ringke Slim as a stopgap for the time being and while it's very good for the $10 total that it cost, I've been wanting to show off the beautiful design of the phone and it's a shame to lose that with the cases out now. The best of both worlds will hopefully be here soon! If you guys agree, pester them on Facebook and their customer service so that they know we're waiting!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
Here are pics of the Black Rearth case, its really thin but pretty hard. If your looking for drop protection get something else. On a scale of 1 to 10 for protection with 1 being no case and 10 being something like Otterbox, I give it a 3 almost a 4. I'll be using it for now until I get adjusted to holding this bigger phone but I can imagine myself taking it off soon.

Here is my post on BSE screen protectors as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35194441&postcount=408
[Nexus 4 Accessories] EvanJ18:
Poetic Atmosphere or Diztronic. If you're looking for a slim hard case, I'd go Nillkin
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cor-master:
I wanted an otterbox commuter but since that wasn't possible, I just ordered a diztronic. My wife got one for my vivid and the quality and fit our perfect and it adds a much needed grip to the phone and adequate protection without sacrificing the phones good looks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
Thanks for the pics! It's too thin i'd rather go for diztronic i need protection primarily. Is BSE adequate or should i go for XO? Also does the case cause the screen protector to peel off? I dont want them to interfere!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] logic0verflow:
Yeah from the pics I would go with Diztronic. Rearth didn't cause the protector to peel but it did cause these two small creases on the bottom back BSE that are slowly going away. In the inside pic you can see two lines that go from the top edge to the bottom. That's what caused it.

Oh yeah, my BSE doesn't have a cutout for the proximity sensor but it works just fine.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Probably been asked a thousand times.

But in real world usage. Is the note 2 worth twice the note 1

I can buy a note 1 with extras cases batteries etc for about £200

Yet a note 2 with nothing else are around £400-420

Does the 2gb improve the multi tasking

Does the quad core improve gaming and general usage lots.

Is the screen smaller width a problem.

Have owned a note 1 before and loved it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TFDRA:
I should go for the note 2, my friend has it. The quad core is super fast! It can play any game there is, and the 2gigs of ram make multitasking blazing fast!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul013:
The price difference is not that much here, in India. But, if it was double, as in your place, i would have gone for the Note..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Definately go for the Note 2, the Note 1 has occasional stutters and lags and the N2 is blazing fast. Much better user xperience on the N2 because of a better clocked and optimized cpu, higher ram an much nicer display, It also is a bit narrowser so you have a better grip and feel imo. I also had the N1 so i know what i`am talking about :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunter68uk:
Definately Note 2 I have one and a friend has the Note 1 and in comparison mine is much better
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
My dad has the note 1 and have the note 2. Big difference. I would go for the note 2 without a doubt
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
Go for the Note II. It's much nicer to hold, faster and more attractive. The actual screen is a mere 2.5 mm smaller, so that is really no issue.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firedron:
Note 2. Much better battery, Samsung will support it with updates longer. Smaller width is actually a benefit – easier to hold and less wasted space when watching movies.

Hi, I'm using cm9 beta 1

I noticed that I can't use lwp as I can't find any opt to choose pictures other than from gallery

Then I found out that i dont have livewallpaper picker.apk

So, I found many lwp picker apk but I'm not sure which one is compatible for my rom

Could you help me to give me the compatible one?

It works

cycloneblast's method works. Finally happy with custom roms where live wallpapers didnt worked. :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Shadman Sakib:
Thanks Cycloneblast I was able to fix my LWP error. My alternate process below:

How to fix - unfortunately live wallpaper picker has stopped.

1. Backup and Uninstall the system

-Live Wallaper Picker-

{livewallpaperspicker.apk}

ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with -Lucky Patcher-(you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).

2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet (including the one in this thread by <cycloneblast>) for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can).

3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.

4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).

5. If stil not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.

6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with -SD Maid-(you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use this at your own RISK.

with that livewallpaperpicker don´t woks for me. i put another one the 4.4 (for kitkat) and works really fine. with live wp again.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Smirny:
Hey,

I installed some updates from the store (like extras, apn and whatnot) and now after I unlock my device it sometimes gives me a strange notification sound. I can't say exactly which one it is, because you can't select it for any message/notification type. It even plays the sound when I am in silenced mode.

Any one else with this issue? :/

bye, Smirny
[Nokia Lumia 920] zxcv888:
I think one of the updates added a notification sound when you unplug the charger cable. May be that's what you are hearing
[Nokia Lumia 920] AndyFZ1S:
I noticed a weird sound when taking the phone off charge, Or did I dream it? ;)
[Nokia Lumia 920] indoors:
A recent Nokia app update has added a bug that plays a notification sound when unplugging from a charger. It has been reported to the relevant development team but I've got no idea how long it will take to correct it.

As for a notification sound when unlocking the 920, there is a setting for that under Ringtones + Sounds. But it shouldn't play if the phone is in silent mode so it could be related to the other bug which has also been implicated as a possible cause of some apps not working and requiring a hard reset to get the phone working properly again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nillaz:
Hi everyone I just upgraded from an ET4G to the Note 2 and I noticed that the new phone won't push SMS messages to my head unit in my car.

I know that this has been an issue for people with several Samsung devices in the past. I'm not exactly well versed when it comes to the underlying workings of various bluetooth profiles, but is there anyone that can possibly enlighten me as to what the root cause of the problem is, and is there possibly a method for overcoming the issue?

For what it's worth my Note 2 is currently on the stock rom (rooted) and the head unit in question is the Kenwood DNX9990HD. SMS via bluetooth worked flawlessly with this head unit on my ET4G (cm9 and cm10). I'm guessing that this ability was something that was embedded in Cyanogen but I'd be much appreciative of any insight that you guys can give.

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys,

1) I am using Nikez Jelly Bean: Evervolv Turba 3.1.0p1 for a few weeks now but every 3 or 4 days it suddenly gets EXTREMELY slow, for example it needs about 10 seconds to turn off the screen. But the phone is not really crashed, its just so slow like the CPU is working with 10 MHz... This seems to happen randomly.

When restart by removing and inserting the battery it has hardresetted itself. The apps are deleted but their appdata exists.. The homebutton and the trackball dont work anymore. My messages and my settings have also been deleted.

This also happens with the JellyNow Rom.

Is this a software or a hardware problem? What do you think?

2) My Titanium Backup doesnt backup any apps but their data, respectively i cant restore the apps themselves but their appdata... Do you know why?

Greetings

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansioux:
I had similar issue before and when it usually happens within a day after I flashed it or recovered it. I am not very sure if the current ROM (running safe for 2 days now) is really safe from crashing again, but this is what I think happened.

the sd-ext partition at 4GB sometimes cuases issues, especially of somehow everytime I flashed it it reverted back to ext2 back when I was using CWM recovery (maybe cause my backup was made when it was still a ext2 partition). But I have since changed it to 2GB, used 4EXT recovery to convert my sd-ext to ext4, and I updated my ROM... Not sure which one did the trick, but so far it hasn't reset on my.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WileyDigital:
Wifes battery in her HTC Vivid took a plunge tonight, I had my old phone (MyTouch 4g) from when we were with Tmobile rooted with CM7 on it. Figured if I wiped the phone and did a factory reset and stuck the AT&T SIM in and manually updated the APNs it should work for a good loaner phone till the new battery for her HTC came in.

Issue I ran into was when I try to manually enter a APN, it looks to take, but the APN doesnt show up in the list once I click save. I click network operators and search for networks, it comes up with 3 choices: "T-Mobile, T-Mobile, Cingular Genesis". If I choose auto I get "Your SIM card does not allow connection to this network" (assuming its trying to use T-Mobile). If I manually choose Cingular Genesis it saids "Unable to connect to this network at this time, try again later". Need to get this phone up and running ASAP for the wife, any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm taking it that the phone is rooted and s-off if you got mobile service with att? When I insert my sisters att Sim, it let's me choose between T-Mobile or att service. Do you get that after power up or just after adding the APN?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WileyDigital:
Yes the phone is rooted and s-off. I dont get any messages when booting up. I have no APNs listed and when I manually add them it doesnt seem to save or it just doesnt display the new APN I entered.

However I think I might have found the culprit to my issues. I thought I try and unroot my phone and bring everything back to normal. Found out I cant access hboot. Tried to flash hboot via recovery, and failed. Tried to flash anything from recovery and everything fails ("Installation Aborted"). So I am back to square one. The weirdest thing about all of this is the ROM boots fine and even connects wifi just fine, but hboot is corrupt. So its bricked but its not bricked, lol.

Hi,

Did a bit of a search through the threads but couldn't find anything.

Running win 7 ultimate 64bit.

When you connect the S3 to windows and browse the files on the card and phone, by viewing the folder DCIM it doesn't display thumbnails or the pictures at all for that matter, it just has the icons for pictures and videos, no matter what display method I choose. Is there a way of setting this up that it will show the thumbnails so I easily find and delete or move the pictures without individually previewing or opening them?
