[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCPModding:
I have made my own USB otg cable. It is just some cheap cable from dollar general. In general it worked but had a few bugs along the way. First in shorting pins 4 and 5 my wire always comes unsoldered ( The product of cheap solder). If I position the wire right it will stay on and work. Then I had the bright idea to add power to it. I figured it should be simple. The wires here are red and green. Red of course is positive. On my OTG cable red is positive blue is negative (pins 1 and 5) and green a and white are data (pins 2 and 3). I simply spliced the positive wire in and thought it would "back feed" electricity to the device and the USB object as well. In trial stage it provided power without otg enabled. Everything worked fine so o went and soldered up my otg ad heat shrank all the wires so they would Be protected. In short with otg enabled my N7 will not charge. I am using the ASUS 5 V charger to power my external wire. I am asking for help as I believe I have done everything right. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nico_60:
I don't know if the cablage is correct because I saw that for some device it adds a resistor between pin 4 and 5, schema HERE, otherwise you must have a kernel that allow charging the device with otg cable, go to this THREAD. Hoping that it will help.

Kernel: Dorimanx

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterk-1:
AFAIK The resistance between pins 4 and 5 must be less than 10Ω - on a different connector/purpose the resistance is >100Ω. If you want chapter and verse on this search USB.org for OTG pdf and you should find the relevant specs - USB specs are drawn up before the device function and connectors are first seen so the date is no real indicator.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCPModding:
I just bought the resisters and a 4 port powered hub and will try to do it wit that. Will update here soon...

Hello,

Pretty stupid question here, how do i install cwm on my sola? I am on .154 (Unlocked BL). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
You can either flash a kernel via fastboot which includes CWM or you can install CWM for Locked Bootloader by Atis ;) And yes, locked bootloader version works on unlocked too :p

Go to Sola's Dev Section and select whichever one you want ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] srprashant91:
could you give me the link to atis's version please?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Here you go : CWM for Locked BL

Enjoy ;)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fataldesain:
First let me say I think this is the best overall case for the nexus 4 hands down and I ordered pretty much every other case off amazon. We would all love to use the nexus naked or with a bumper but we also know how fragile this phone is you probably break it or fear breaking it the whole time.

I say this case is the best for these reasons design, cost, and protection. First design, the main thing that stands out about this case it has hard edges when on case feels slick and firm. The whole case has a sparkle effect pretty cool. I absolutely love the white but the black is very nice also my gf loves it. The only flaw in design is probably the power and volume buttons are cut out and case does have a little thickness so can be hard to push buttons sometimes. This case does add to size but keeps nexus 4 shape exactly.

Cost was 5.21 plus 2 dollar shipping so that for me already puts it as number 1 since all others cost more. To me if you had to pick one case this would be it.

Protection to me cannot get any better than this. I don't know how but the case in your hand feels soft and bends like every other case but when on feels solid. Hard to put into words but I trust this case.

Now the only other cases that came close where the distronic (which is a little slimmer and buttons are not cut out. Also back is matte). I blazon was good to very similar to distronic minus the matte back. The mercury is just a tad thicker than these but you really don't feel it.

The other cases like the rearth to me is just a cheap piece of plastic not worth 10 bucks. There is a distronic hard shell that was pretty nice its like the rearth but done right. This would be my second choice if you really want ultra slim. Does not protect whole phone but good enough.

Here are some pics I took today this case is awesome. Comes in a ton of colors.

Kind of wished I bought a black one. The case is excellent.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Sweet the mercury pearl case is my all time fave on each phone I've owned that they make one for. I'm in for one. Does it push up on the screen protector and make it bubble?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] LINXC88:
Question, is the case a solid colour? or does it have sparkles/glitter like previous mercury tpu cases?

thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
I zoomed the black one, it's got sparkles.

Hey none in ebay, it's usually where I get them from. Directly from korean vendors.. Where are these amazon I assume?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] seojuhwan:
How thick is the case? Is the black case super shiny?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fataldesain:
This one is not to thick but thicker than others on amazon just bit. But also this is the only one that keeps nexus 4 shape so it feels good in hand. Black is shiny not super though I suggest white as it has a gloss on it and does not get dirty. I'm two weeks on white still looks brand new and its been all over.

I'm not gonna lie I don't like the black but my gf does which good because I would not give her the white. All of them have a sparkle effect black shows it more.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fataldesain:
Depends which one you have I have the Xtremeguard the one you have to use water to apply. If center it you should be fine. But this case goes over the edges well so I would not worry about it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aa_chow:
Thanks OP! Was waiting for this case to appear. I had these for my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus; by far my favorite case.

Yeah, waiting for eBay sellers to sell them. Shipping to Canada is $9+....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Only down side with most ebay vendors, is the 14-21 day delivery from korea.:)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MrMinh:
Yea, I was afraid they all would have sparkles. This case seems to be made for girls. Does the white show that much sparkle?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] icepixie:
There was some discrepancy between the shipping price on amazon vs the price stated on the Mercury storefront shipping information page. I emailed them about that and they quoted shipping for me in Ottawa at $7.35. They said they would refund me the $2.13 difference in shipping after the fact. :good: I know it's not too much, but it's good to know they're an honest customer-oriented company.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Is had these my macho man phones. Its more like "pearl" then sparkles or glittery.. No one but you knows or can really see it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AK4TAY7BEN:
I'm really digging the white... The LGnex already has plenty of sparkle but oh well i guess
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theSavant:
Would anyone with this case mind taking a picture of the micro-usb port area with the case on?

I have a bunch of 6 ft micro usb cables that I like to use because of the length. However, these cables have a lot of excess plastic around the connector so I'm just wondering if they'll be compatible or not.

If I'm the kind of guy who drops his phone like, once a week, should I guess this. Trying to searh for the best option since I just ordered a nexus 4.

I currently have a samsung S2X with a Trident Aegis case that I really liek for protection and such.

Also, still not sure if I will put a screen protector. Is the Nexus 4 screen tough anough not to? Not a fan of the "rubery" feeling they give but its better than a scratched screen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockcycle:
Got mine. Here's my opinion. It makes the n4 more fatty. I'm not a fan of the strange edges, preferred the smoother more rounded edges on my s3 and iphone4 versions. It's very front lippy, it pushes my skinomi skin and causes it to wrinkle/ bubble/ peel.

Good protection. Excellent quality and material. Cut out perfect. Nice hold/ grip. Great colors.

Took it off and put my nillkin back on.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] walrusaur:
Did I receive the same case? The Mercury tpu case I got for my Nexus4 looks nice, does add a little bit more bulk than the Diztronic, but one giant problem. It is slippery as hell. The gloss on it is not a sticky gloss, but more of a smooth slippy gloss. It won't stick to any surfaces, and IMO actually makes the phone a little more slippery to hold than when it's bare, since the entire case is made of this stuff. The only time it will be grippy is if your hands are slightly moist or hot enough to leave a steamy fingerprint lol. Not only that, the cutouts make the buttons very hard to press (due to the thickness of the case and shallow-ness of the buttons). The power button is actually kind of ok if you use your fingertip, but it's very hard to press the volume button.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
Diztronic tpu owns that crap, u mad bro
[Nexus 4 Accessories] walrusaur:
Well...yea, kinda. Ain't no excellent nexus4 cases out there in my eyes. Not even the diztronic. Everybody's got their own things they be lookin for though. Maybe I'm being too picky. lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yomuppet:
Shame to hear that it is a slippery gloss, and not a grippy gloss. The generic gloss tpu case I had on the gnex was my favorite case ever - stuck to my hand, but not my pocket
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zaihanzainal:
Awesome! The mercury cases are out!!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kolyan:
+1 might need to buy another case
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zhuozhi211:
Dude, does your white case turn brown easily?

I got a ebay white tpu case, and it turn brown less than a month.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Zaihanzainal:
On my previous phone I had a white mercury... The thing turned brown all sorts of ugly haha

But after a few months.... Mind you my hands are normally stained with grease and dirt...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xnordroid:
I received this case the other day. It is Slippery on the back, about as slippery as the glass on the front screen. I agree, it is a smooth kind of slippery. I don't know if I can return it to the amazon seller. Overall, nice look though and nice variety of colors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jaysus145:
Ordered a hot pink one of these for my wife, she is a klutz, I hope it is not too slippery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] styckx:
I just got mine..

Ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AOW8ILC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And my back is different from OPs and what's shown on the product page.. All the mercury branding isn't on it..

I like it a lot, and it's not as slick as I thought it would be which is fine with me. Quick shipping and looks great
[Nexus 4 Accessories] h0bnail:
I have one of these on the way. I hope, like yours, it is missing all the branding.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lamien:
Could someone point me to a seller of these on ebay? Somehow I can't find one that seems to be legit.

Thanks in advance....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RayLancer:
That's interesting... mine has the branding on the back. I got the Lime looking color. It's a pretty nice case. Here's my quick review:

The case is a bit slick, but it's not as slippery as I thought. It feels good in the hand and is easy to slide in and out of the pocket. There are a lot of color options if you like colors. It seems like its TPU, but it is a lot more stiffer and doesn't have the same issues as most TPU cases where the sides are loose. The lip around the case is nice, but if it covers a lot of the phone. It can be hard to swipe from the sides due to the lip but, it gives a lot of protection to the screen to where most screen protector's coverage ends. My only complaints with the case are some of the cutouts are slightly off (speaker on back, microphone on bottom), and there's a LOT of flash (excess TPU material) around the left side of the case from the molds. It feel's a bit rougher on that side and the flash is noticeable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] styckx:
You just about nailed it. Pretty good summary of the product.. I'm definitely happy with the purchase though. It fits snug, and protects it..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] h0bnail:
Got mine today in black. Mine also has the flash issue on the left side and speaker cutout is a little high. No Mercury branding on mine. Buttons are a little difficult. IMHO the glitter issue is a little overblown... Not that noticeable... I actually kinda like it. This is my first case, and I'm sure I'll try others... but overall this is a nice option for the money.

A couple more pictures for your thread, Red and Blue. The build quality seems decent on these but there finishing lines are not quite as good as Cruzerlite or Diztronic. Diztronic doesn't offer many colors though, and Cruzerlite doesn't offer plane cases. Love the feel and look though, not huge on the glitter effect (not so manly) but you cant tell the glitter is there under most circumstances. Overall a good buy. Enjoy the pics, sorry, not good at taking pictures.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lamien:
Good find mate but unfortunately that seller does not ship to Germany.... Thanks for the effort though! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crisisx1:
Are these cases glossy rubber or are they hard plastic?

Reason I'm asking is because they look similar to a case I had for my s3 by diztronic and it was a glossy rubber case and it was a super finger print magnet... Didn't really like it too much wish I had got the matte.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RayLancer:
Its glossy rubber. Get a bright color. I have a lime green case and bit has fingerprints on it. But its not noticeable unless you are really looking for them under light. At least it cleans off easier thanks to the finish.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pinkwall:
Got a yellow one, and so far it is the best out of my rearth fusion / slim and other hard cases.

i've searched and did not find. The black is really solid black? With no marks?

Used a black one while i waited for my ringke fusion case, but It's probably the best TPU case i've used. My friend also has had a pink one for a few weeks, but has some discoloring along the edges from her jeans, but I guess that's expected.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MrBelter:
Saw this thread and ordered a white one off Amazon (UK) last night. Its just arrived and i love it, i was using a 95p s wave jobbie which i much preferred to a Rearth Ringke Slim but this case is the daddy, cracking fit, a little bit slippy but not as much as i thought and it is nice to have the tactile feel of the buttons back.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] paulo111:

So who has the thinner frone lip and overall whicch of them are better ( no matter of price)?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MrBelter:
today is the first time i have seen mine in bright sunshine and seen the sparkles on it, its nearly as cool as the phone back LOL
[Nexus 4 Accessories] diescheize11:
Just ordered one on friday. Anyone know if they interfere with spigen screen protectors? Hopefully the case encloses far enough on the screen to cover the edges of the screen protectors... If all goes well I'll feel pretty good about protection on my phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jaysus145:
What makes it the best TPU case you've used?

I picked up a hot pink one for my wife's phone, and it is perfectly nice, I have to real issues with it. However, I do not love it, and am looking for something different for mine. Not quite sure what exactly it is I am looking for though, but am curious what I may need to avoid.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fatjoejr2001:
Just got my Nexus 4...

and picked up this case last week. It was good at first, but the feel, fingerprints and the destruction of my screen protector was a bit much. Took it off to finally put my screen protector out of its misery and saw that there were in fact little scuff marks on the edges of my phone from removing the case several times to adjust the screen protector. I ended up going with the Ringke Fusion Premium Hybrid case and I haven't looked back ever since (this case is the bomb people).

P.S. 16GB is simply not enough memory for someone who truly implements their phone with everyday life (Games, documents, e-books, videos and all other kind of apps)... just saying! :cool:

Ive been using the mercury case for quite awhile and definitely luv it however im noticing that the lettering on the back is starting to come off which is bugging me so for now i switched to the diztonic. So just a heads up that after a while the branding on the back will start to come off but its still a great case
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roye_V:
Is that the same case as this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-GOOGLE-N...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item19d96ba8d2 ?

and I'm doing a lot of sport with the phone on me so it's possible it will get hit a little, does that case offers a good protection?

I use my girlfriend's Nexus 4 orb charger and it works 100%, if not better than my girlfriend's Nexus 4 (as she uses it naked).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MrBelter:
the lettering on mine is still fully intact despite the case itself now being the worst white i have seen with denim bleed
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PookyPooka:
Why does it say please do not remove the inside label?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hol17:
I believe it is just there as a branding aid to tell you it is a Mercury case and not a knock off. You can remove it but the sticky residue that is left is tough to remove.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PookyPooka:
Thanks... I was just worried there was some secret tracking device inside :D

HI guys, im back posting about a particular problem i have..

so i sent out for a new warranty phone , my current S3 was acting up .. the USB port is not working , therefore my laptop cant read my phone, i was able to root the phone, install TWRP , and such before it went bananas... i decided it was wise to unroot and set my phone back to stock before sending it back... well i unrooted my phone but TWRP remained installed..

Here is what i want to do , and hopefully you guys can help me out..

i unrooted, therefor i cant install "TriangleAway", which i think is the app to reset the counts of Flashes.... but i still have TWRP ... i want to once again ROOT my phone, so i can use triangle away, reset the counter... unroot the phone and set my phone back to stock... please not again , that my USB is not working..

I have the new phone with me, i was planning to do a back up of the STOCK ROM and restore this one , with the old phone.

If anyone has ideas on how to help here, id greatly appreciate it , thank you guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
You should be able to install root software from TWRP. Try installing SuperUser zip.

I think you will need to put the .tar or .tar.md5 on a removable sd card and use mobile odin (on the play market but not free) after you have used Triangle Away (both are from the same dev). Just load the .tar file in mobile odin and DO NOT check everoot. This should get you back to stock everything and unrooted.
