I noticed on the site for the Active and Surface cases it now says (I don't think it did when I looked last week) that the cases are not compatible with wireless charging. One user commented that the Surface case does work, but can others confirm this as well for both cases? If one or both do work why would they say it doesn't? Maybe it works with some but not all charging plates. Or maybe it reduces the effectiveness of the charge. I don't see why the Surface case would be any different than the Diztronic case as an example.

I just picked up 2 Nokia Wireless Charging Plates so this is a deal breaker for me if they don't work with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ShelW:
FAIL.

Seriously? Seidio takes weeks to release a case, and it's the ONLY case (that I've heard of) that does NOT work with inductive charging?

Yeah... why would DNA owners want THAT feature?:p
[HTC Droid DNA] tuxly:
Just to clarify for everyone, I have the surface case and a nokia 900 charge plate and have been using both together for a week now nightly with no issues. Phone charges just fine. I also have an LG charge pad and just confirmed wireless charge works through case with that one also. Do not know why they say it will not work. Cannot comment on active case. Also, have not noticed any heat issues with case on while charging, at least with the nokia plate.

Curiosity got to me so I called Seido and asked about the disclaimer that the DNA cases are not compatible with wireless charging. The tech support person said it is because they do not have access to all the wireless chargers to test the compatibilty and therefore cannot honestly claim that their cases work with such accessories. Seems odd to not just state that on the website rather than saying not compatible, but I guess it could be true.

Anyway, I will update thread if I notice any problems down the line as my surface case is staying on and I will be wirelessly charging nightly.
[HTC Droid DNA] ShelW:
I have a Tetrax mount, which was used previously for my Thunderbolt.

The way they work is, you install a small x shaped mount onto your vent, and it has a magnet. You then attach, via adhesive, a small, metal disk to the back of your cell phones case, and the magnetic disk holds the phone onto the mount.

Well, I installed the metal disk to the back of my case with my DNA.

Worked fine, BUT... when I went to charge the phone, after about fifteen minutes, I removed the phone with case from my Nokia charger, and the small (about the size of a nickle) metal disk was burning hot! It actually burned my fingers!

I would imagine, based on this, that Seidio's Surface case with kickstand would have the same issue... the kickstand, I would imagine, will get incredibly hot, when you try charging your DNA with the Surface case on the device.

If anyone gets this case, I'd love to hear if it works with inductive charging, or not.
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
The active case has the kickstand but the surface case does not.
[HTC Droid DNA] tuxly:
The "surface" case, which I have, is not the one with kickstand. That is the "active". It makes sense to me the metal in the active might make it not compatible with wireless charging, but this should not be true for the surface which has no metal. Another person from seido has contacted me today and asked what brand/model chargers I am using. This person knew more and said that they did do some testing with wireless chargers and found inconsistencies (they did not elaborate). They said they want to test with chargers I have and will update their website if they find it works with specific chargers, for what that is worth.

FYI, their site now says both cases "are not guaranteed to be compatible with wireless charging" rather than "not compatible".
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
No issues here with the Surface case and Nokia wireless charging pillow, it works just fine.

Also for the record, it's simple to understand why they would put that disclaimer on their website about it not be guaranteed to work, I sure as heck would have done the same if I was making cases. The real issue is that as a company you have to deal with the lowest common denominator. So did Seidio acquire several reputable Qi chargers and test to make sure it works? Of course they did. Did they buy every knock-off charger on ebay and amazon to test as well? No idea, but I sure wouldn't if it was my company. I would just put that disclaimer up and call it a day.
[HTC Droid DNA] ShelW:
I don't expect them to "buy every knock-off charger"...

However, when I made the original post their website said "Case

not compatible

with inductive charging", or something to that effect.

Really? Then why did they post a message saying "Active case not compatible with inductive charging", if, as you state, they purchased and tested several reputable Qi chargers???

They've now changed the wording to "May not be compatible.... "

If you're going to go to the trouble of making cases for a cell phone, and you know that one of it's features is that it has inductive charging built in (they obviously knew, or they wouldn't have put up any disclaimer), you can do a minimum of testing, and either say it "May not be compatible", or, better yet, perhaps try a few of the major brands, such as the ones sold by VZN, and state that the case is compatible with these specific chargers, but may not work with other inductive chargers.

I've purchased, and enjoyed Seidio's cases in the past. I happen to believe that the Active cases, due to the metal kickstand, probably won't work with inductive charging, but it'd be nice if Seidio would test them out, and confirm they either do or don't work. I'd be surprised if they work with one inductive charger, but don't work with another, but I could be wrong.

As a side note, it would have made the kickstand much more beneficial if it worked in both landscape and portrait positions. Not sure why this wasn't possible.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Has anyone gotten the active case? If so,post up some pics!
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I guess they realized what it said and made the necessary correction.

Their site says "The ACTIVE® with Metal Kickstand is not guaranteed to be compatible with all wireless charging." That in and of itself implies that they most likely did test after making the case but don't want to list specific chargers. I'm not even going to get into speculating on their reasons for not detailing what they did try, but what I can say is that I would have done the same thing.
[HTC Droid DNA] :
+1

I usually hate cases, but I really like my precious and I don't want her to get hurt..

I just want a minimal case that'll offer some degree of protection, without adding much bulk. Anyone got any good recommendations?

(Note: I don't care if it works with screen protectors or not. I don't use them as they're a pain in the ass IMHO)
[HTC Droid DNA] Argumentation:
I've got the incipio duel pro case and its great, not too thick, but still protects the phone really well.
[HTC Droid DNA] karn101:
I have the active case with kickstand and it works just fine with the Energizer wireless charger.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Pics. You know the rules. Hahaha

Sent from my SuperCharged DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] retrobits:
I really like the look of this case. Does it have the vol and power buttons covered or exposed?
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
Still nobody has the Active case that can say whether it works with wireless chargers? One person said it did but no pics and it would be nice for others to corroborate and for which chargers it works or doesn't work. And whether the kickstand gets hot. I'm ordering a Surface case and I was thinking about getting an Active case for my wife because she likes the kickstand.
[HTC Droid DNA] HaNNibalHector:
I ordered and received the active case combo w/ the holster. I am experiencing a strange issue with it. within 10 mins of putting the case on my phone, it heats up pretty bad! happened on multiple occasions. it was about 88º prior to putting it in the case. after 10 mins it shot up to 110º. anyone else having this problem? I'm wondering if red holes on the side are perhaps used for ventilation or something... i could be way off. I hate NOT having a case on my DNA. any thoughts?

Ordered 2 Seidio Surface cases (1 red, 1 purple) for my gf and I, can't wait to try them out. Would have ordered a white one for myself, but it's still not available so I settled for red.
[HTC Droid DNA] ShelW:
According to reviews I've read, the red strips are only cosmetic... they serve no purpose other then appearance.

Is your DNA still heating up? Have you tried inductive charging with this case on?

If you can post photos, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Droid DNA] PhantomApollyon:
I can say from experience that I have 2 DNA's in the house, both with the active case on them and neither of them have any heat issues and they stay in the cases 24/7. They don't even heat up much while on the wireless charger.
[HTC Droid DNA] bdeitemeyer:
My gf and I received our Seidio Surface cases today (garnet and purple), and I'm pretty impressed with the quality so far. Look, feel, and wireless charging compatibility are all great.
[HTC Droid DNA] thunderbolt33:
Anyone who has the Seidio Active case mind throwing up some pictures? I'd really love to see how it looks on the phone!
[HTC Droid DNA] Snowdog2324:
Take a look...the active case is not that bulky and fits very well

diztronic

diztronic case works well.. .wireless charge is no problem with it either.
[HTC Droid DNA] LiquidHonesty:
I've been using the Surface case for a week now and LOVE IT! It's by far my favorite case. I have, in total, 8 cases for my DNA currently (I'm a case whore). This includes the Incipio Feather and Faxion, the Otterbox, etc. I'm digging the surface the most. Seidio has really improved their cases over the last year, much more polished than they were originally. So much in fact I'm buying another Surface to keep in case this one ever gets cracked/broken. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] karn101:
I have to disagree. I have it and hate how bulky it is. I only care for the kickstand.
[HTC Droid DNA] quikfinger00:
Wow. Case much
[HTC Droid DNA] n8mack33:
Love the surface case but it is a bit slippery. If I didn't need a clip I might stick with the diztronic.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catalinjulia:
Try flashing with adb manually using your computer. There is a tutorial on this forum .you will have to try a custom ROM as I couldnt find your phones stock rom

You can also use adb to push a file/rom sdcard to your sdcard

Hope I was usefull.

Tecno N3 is also a pretty new phone so you will have to wait a lit but for a dev to get one and start experimenting

Recovery

Get into recovery by turning phone off, then hold volume + button and power button until it boots. to scroll, use the volume keys, to select an option, use the power button. just press reboot phone, and it will restore factory settings, if it does not, scroll down to restore and clear cache.

if I helped, you can press thanx.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAMM911:
Solution

If it completely refuses to boot, just take it back to where you bought it withe receipt, it's 12+1 month warranty so they should cover you for it... that's what happened to me... mine is now fixed and handed over to the real owner...:victory:

Just a tip though, from experience, no one is willing to help if they don't have a problem with their phone they'll just read the post and ignore it, I posted on more than 7 sites each with their own thread relating to the Tecno N3 and no one responded, THEY JUST ADDED THEIR COMMENTS, leaving mine hanging in the middle

I wasted a whole month trying to fix the phone which took the Tecno guys just two days to fix

SUMMARY: The warranty should cover your phone with the formatting from recovery reason, since you needed to restore to factory settings.

Good Luck:cowboy:
