Hey guys,

Recently I bought this and while it looked great at first, it dawned on me that it doesn't tightly fit my device and the bottom part of my Nexus 4 has slipped out of the case a couple times..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...959490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56513a4042

So now I'm hunting for a new case. I've had really good experiences with the Seidio case with my Nexus S, but it's proven to be rather expensive compared to what others have offered. Wouldn't mind going back if it's the only case of this category that is the best fit and protection for the device.

I was looking at the Mybat but was concerned about the actual bulk of the device, and it being easy to remove as I often take off the shell from time to time. Also, no one seemed to comment if the case interferes with headphones with L-shaped plugs either.

The other two contenders are Ballistic and Ionic, heard great things from both but unsure which is better. I did hear that Ionic cases attract lint very easily but I do like its price very much. Not a fan of the bubble-back design though. Heard great things about Ballistic, but like the Seidio case, the cost is making me apprehensive about purchasing one.

Mybat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...4?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item2a286793ca

Ionic: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00A06Z41E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KQDBCHA3FRT9

Ballistic: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/lg-nexus-4-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case

Seidio: http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-nexus-4-active-metal-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3lgn4k-bk.htm

So what do you guys think would be the best?

Cheers,

deltatux

I have the iconic and thought it was too thick, so I ordered the Ballistic one and it's even thicker :(

I'm tempted to try the ACTIVE but I have spent so much on cases it isn't even funny....

Edit...I just bought it on ebay for $24.99 and free shipping.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dalton8:
When i had my gs3 i had a variety of cases including; cheap ebay "tough" cases with kickstands, an otterbox defender (never again), and a ballistic sg. The Ballistic is a GREAT case. It was sturdy, the phone would never pop out, the plastic was nice, and the silicone inner was much better than the plastic inner found on the defender. The silicon not only prevented scratches, but also prevented dust and any other unwanted items in. It almost seals the device. When i bought my nexus 4, i was very dissapointed that there weren't any decent protective cases out. I knew the ballistic sg was coming, but ive had my device since december and needed something for the short term... Something to get so i can wait for the ballistic. I was almost going to buy the case you bought, but i really don't like kickstands. I searched on ebay and found the mybat tough case, I bought it as it met all my requirements; it was cheap, it was protective, it didn't have a kickstand, and it actually looked good. The buyer i bought my case from shipped the case very fast to Australia, (which suprised me, usually these types of cases end up taking about a month) To my suprise, the case was really good quality for the price. The cutouts were (almost) perfect, the fit was pefect, the phone doesn't move about at all. I paid 15 dollars shipped to Australia compared the 70 or 80 odd dollars it would cost me to buy a ballistic shipped. I had the case on for a day, and I loved it...Until I tried to hang up on a phone call... the sensor on the lg is very sensitive, and this case just blocks it enough to stop the screen coming on. This fault was quickly fixed with a drill bit, and since then, i have had no issues, and will continue using this case for the remainder of the phones life. I simply prefer the whole case over the ballistic i had on the s3. However the ballistic was slightly better made, it doesn't warrant even a 15 dollar increase over this case. I love this case. (Note in my pictures the proximity cut out I modified) I did a custom design with sharpie marker on mine and it came out awesome! I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.

Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] warfexion:
that back is awesome! :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jester23:
FYI the ballistic case works with the LG-WCP700 wireless charging pad. I do however find it is harder to hold on to as it's slippery compared to the Ionic. It's also larger than the Ionic.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
I'd go with Mybat (because it's cheap and looks decent) or the Active (because seidio makes a good product and I like the kickstand.)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Filth.Injector:
i also love the look of rugged cases.. been using them ever since my first smartphone :D

currently i am using this armourdilo case that i saw online.. it is available for sale on mobilefun website or i have seen a seller through eBay AUS...

availbale in a varieety of colours as well :) although i stuck the standard black on black ...

[Nexus 4 Accessories] deltatux:
How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?

deltatux
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
none of those, i vote for this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/160952016421?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noxlord:
It's made by the same oem as the mybat cases.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dalton8:
The case is easier to get off than my ballistic sg on the s3 was. With that said, if i drop it, it doesn't feel as if it will fly apart. The case has interfered with one of my L-shaped head jacks, and works with another.. i just use a simple headphone extender when i want to use those earphones.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] deltatux:
Hmmm that might not fly then for me... I listen to music with my phone a lot ... my phone is essentially an Internet-enabled MP3 player that so happens to have a phone function built in lol.

I have the ionic case on mine wasn't too sure from the pictures but I like it and the circles on the back aid grip.

I also dropped it from about 5feet and it bounced on all 4 corners but the phone was fine!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lownita:
Mate I answered you about headphones, check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37912172#post37912172 :silly: I can recommend the tuff case too, it is a solid and very fair priced case.

I'm running the seidio surface case. Expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

It does a bit, it is not terrible though, I only really noticed having a look to reply to you!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NLPUNITED:
Second with mybatt.. Cheap and sturdy for the price. Get a good looking one for the less dangerous situations.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Black River:
The best protection gives you MyBat! I have Wrapsol film and the Tuff case from MyBat and I think my phone is unbreakable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sid21:
can i order the ionic case to india?

please reply me asap

i am in urgently need for a case

should be protective and cheap as well
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jester23:
I would like to see a review of this one.. Looks like not as much bulk :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Fr3lncr:
I ordered an Ionic one. The only thing I can say about it so far is that it takes a long time to get delivered. It's been three weeks and still no luck (in Ottawa).

I don't mind a bit of extra bulk. Had a Otterbox Defender on my Galaxy S2 and actually preferred the size/weight with the case. I really hope the case comes soon as I'm holding off using the phone until it comes as I really don't want it scratched.

Would prefer an Otterbox style case with a holster since I don't like keeping my phone in my pocket but I haven't come across one yet.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NLPUNITED:
Iv'e got both the stated cases and im using the sturdy one. The one that you got linked is Alright, but the acces to power/volume buttons is not so great. Hard to press. Also, the silicone attracts tons of dirt. Not so bad on the other one.

I noticed It happening today.

I was about to unlock my phone, but the unlock button didn't do anything upon one press. So I press it again, and I see some weird green lines smeared all over my screen. I hit the unlock button again, screen goes dark. Hit it again, and it's back to normal.

Is it a sign bad things are about to happen?

edit: everything stock

when the green smears appeared it was jus them, no icons or anything in the background.. it looked like the screen was broken.

Instead of those android emojis, i have replaced them with the actual emojis.

INSTALLATION:

use a root explorer app and paste it in system>app

backup your current mms apk by renaming it to "mms.apk.bak".

rename the new mms app to "mms.apk".

set permissions to read, write, read, read.

Guys, what do you think, will i be able to flash Japan version of Z by international version of f/w ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
If you're talking about official FTF firmwares then no. And if you're talking about flashable zips through recovery then yes(if you can unlock the bootloader).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisDD78:
No, i`m talking about official FTF. Do you really think that i couldn`t flash FTF from C6603 mobel to SO-02E phone ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahulvm:
First of all, you will not be able to unlock the bootloader, even if you happened too, then you would need to flash the international version f/w followed by the docomo f/w else it would behave weird.

When you flash the international f/w, you must select only the kernel or system.img (only) and then you must exclude that component while flashing the docomo f/w. This is the way to get root on docomo phones, unless some hack or vulnerability discovered to root it..

Previously I had Xperia Acro S from Japan and this how I got root on it..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lancebuks:
i know this is an old thread but just in case anyone is wondering - the answer is "yes" you can flash international .ftf files (C6603) to the SO-02E and it works fine. i know because i do it myself.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] dewars14:
hello.

I write this post because right now I'm desperate. my kinde fire was rooted and works great. I wanted to install an unofficial ROM and there came all problems.

first of all I want to say that I resort to this message because I've tried everything, but I did manage to save my device.

My Kindle was rooted and TWRP works well. I inadvertently left the device without an operating system. I forgot to put a rom after you wipe. After this, when the device booted, first came out the white and orange logo, then white and blue recovery and eventually returned to the first logo.

First I tried to recover it with the original firmware. I could not access the device via the file browser windows, so I copied the. zip with adb push. after several attempts I went to plan B, because I always got the same "error 7", so I tried to install the cyanogen rom, but I had the same fate.

After that, I was reading about fastboot, so I downloaded kindle fire utility. I think something went here even worse, because now TWRP gone.

I finally discovered unbrick kindle utility, but now my pc does not recognize the device. drivers are installed and kindle fire utility says "adb: online", but I can not access the device.

I searched a lot of information, but I think I am increasingly far from the solution, so I decided to write this post.

anyone can help me to recover the kindle? I'm desperate now. I'd like to have everything as before, I do not lose the root

thanks!!!

Hi. I was just commenting that a lot of people are rushing into doing things without reading, or even checking what model they have. Admittedly Amazon hasn't made it easy by advertising it as the Kindle Fire 2.

[HTC One S] Darknites:
You have to downgrade the Hboot here.
[HTC One S] tjsinghlion:
please help

So is there any other way to get My Hboot downgraded easier. Also What is the restrictions on 1.14. Can i still download and flash roms with 1.14. I know i have alot of questions but i just really want to be safe
[HTC One S] tominozh:
You can flash roms but you have to flash boot.img separately either with fastboot while in bootloader or with app called flash image GUI just befor you flash Rom. You can also change radio using Temporary radio instaler. The only problem for you could be the WiFi not working on sertain roms. But that does not happen to everybody.
[HTC One S] tjsinghlion:
Wait so all I have to do is that flash boot boot.IMG process before I flash a Rom. And do I use the app while on my stock Rom . And when do I use boot.IMG processes

Sorry I just did a little research and answered my own question. Oh and is temporary radio installer an app or what
[HTC One S] tominozh:
Yes look for Flash Image GUI App. You can flash boot.img before rebooting to recovery. Just open app, browse for your Rom, select it, wait until the app extract the boot.img, select flash boot.img, wait, the you'll get a toast message succesfull, then press reboot recovery, wipe everything a few times, flash Rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, reboot system.

The temporary radio installer its a zip, you can flash it in custom recovery if you need to change radio.

I also recommend to get a wiping script from ..Awesome.. ( its in devepomnent forum as well) its a zip file, flash from recovery, it will "full wipe your phone" .

I find it better then wiping in twrp recovery.

Good luck.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
No need for the script. You only need to factory reset and wipe system in TWRP which formats it and not delete it.
[HTC One S] tominozh:
Yes, no need, but wiping in twrp did not work for me sometime so if I change roms, I run script as well. If twrp would work 100% no need to do it 2 - 3 times isn't?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
TWRP has always worked for me and had no issues but ya wiping more then once is even more of wasted time.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
TWRP has always worked for me as well. CWM has also always worked for me (on my other devices).

The only thing I wipe more than once is cache and dalvik-cache (before and after rom installation, a total of 2 times wasting ~5sec or so), and I've never had any issue, on ANY of my devices (I have access to an Xperia P in addition to the ones listed in my sign., and Ive helped a couple of friends with flashing/rooting/etc as well)

[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
If you're S-Off, you can flash radios on any hboot. If you want to change your hboot anyway, you can extract an image from a RUU or OTA and dd it into mmcblk0p12. (Be careful with that.)
