Anyone here have any experience with the latest revision of the Spigen Hardbook case?

I've been eyeing one lately in navy blue. Looks good, but also seems just a bit bulky.

Thoughts?

Anyone recommend another flip/folio case?

I currently have a faux leather Belkin case from Verizon. It feels great to the touch and fits nicely, but it has the annoying wrap-around 'clip' to hold it shut. Good idea, but I can't stand it. It always unlatches when being put in a pocket, that's why I looked into the Hardbook to begin with.

I'm still looking for other varieties:

•Flip style with full coverage

•Ability to use as a kickstand

•Does not add much bulk

•No buttons/clips or magnets

Thanks people.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] silentecho13:
Must be a pretty rare case lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBlueOne:
Very disappointed with this one.

I'm a big fan of spigen products, so I was expecting something nicer. I really like the design and the materials, but the case I received has some major flaws in craftmanship, the borders are lifting and I can see the glue there. I won't return it because at least here in Mexico it is a hassle to deal with FedEx, so I would spend more money and energy doing so.

Not happy at all this time Spigen. And the fact that they don't publish reviews like this on the product page doesn't help either. I think I can't trust that brand anymore.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] silentecho13:
TheBlueOne, I've got the same issue. I have the same case too (navy).

I've just gotten used to pressing down on the edges, but I definitely didn't expect them to come off like that. If they didn't peel, this would be my favorite case. I'm gonna call Spigen about it tonight.

Will launch worldwide, I'll bet it'll have amazing dev support just like Sensation. I'm getting it. :)

STILL NO EXPANDABLE MEMORY???
[One (M7) General] ahm12:
Why do u need expandable memory when u can get the 64gb version??
[One (M7) General] thaiboyger:
I think so too, its amazing, new software and all, not just hardware

And finally better camera
[One (M7) General] Skipjacks:
Simple.

Because HTC will charge $200 for that addition of 64GB of memory.

But I culd buy a 64GB SD card for $60
[One (M7) General] thaiboyger:
Not even Apple would charge that much Maybe 50dollars more in worst case maybe 100$
[One (M7) General] popokrew:
Looks like a great phone but let's see what the S4 is like. Also, if im going to get the One, HTC needs to commit to software support. As it is they are launching this phone with 4.1!
[One (M7) General] epsix:
True can't wait for Galaxy S4 specs hehe.
[One (M7) General] pushpann:
Locked Bootloaders.. The HTCDev Unlock isn't the best one out there.. No Revolutionary.

I am always htc fan, but nowadays, for a flasholic like me, it's a pain in the a** to flash boot.img separately using PC every single time i want to flash a new ROM.

neXus family is my next choice. But not this year, my Sensation seems fine for now.
[One (M7) General] epsix:
Don't worry didn't you read XDA news? Devs just release S-OFF for HTC DNA, X, X+ and HTC One is not far from getting S-OFF.
[One (M7) General] AshtonTS:
Pssh the HTC one hasn't even been released you can't say anything for sure about their s-off status

Sent from my Nexus 4
[One (M7) General] epsix:
HTC One is releasing worldwide just like Sensation so more chances to get S-OFF from devs around the world. :) DNA only release to Verizon US and they have S-OFF already.
[One (M7) General] epsix:
Who think HTC One will get S-OFF.?
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
I'm confident that it will.
[One (M7) General] matheus_sc:
i like of device too, current i have gs3 but this device impress me!
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
100$ is too much, if it was 50$ that's acceptable, 100$ is too much considering the price of SD cards.
[One (M7) General] paulrh:
A bit concerned about the metal case and its effect on call signal strength. If Apple can ****-up with their phone then it's almost a dead-cert for HTC with a new technology.

I think I will wait for the HTC One+ being released in June 2013. For early adopters I believe you will be receiving a "free" rubber glove :D
[One (M7) General] djq:
Have you not read anything about the phone? Look at the back of the case... see those strips on the back? Those are for the antenna and NFC functions...

After having dealt with the horrible battery life on the DNA, I refuse to buy another HTC phone unless they abandon this silly obsession they have with small capacity batteries. Give us a 2700+ mah battery and then I'll consider.
[One (M7) General] milan03:
What "horrible" battery on DNA are you talking about? I've had DNA since launch, having a better battery life than on SGS3. By far...

And it's always gonna be like this... When One X launched, people were asking for 2100mAh.... When DNA launched, everyone was like " we need at least 2300mAh"... Now you have 2300mAh in The One, more than SGS3, and you're already complaining without knowing what's the actual

battery life

! WTF?!
[One (M7) General] celticking:
Find it crazy that my vaio we has a 4000mah battery our tiny phones have at least half the battery.
[One (M7) General] vapotrini:
Looking forward to this phone myself. It's not perfect but it addresses at least one of the bigger points for me. Speaker phone volume. It's like all manufacturers have gotten so caught up in the mhz war that they've forgotten what makes a good "phone". Speaker quality, screen, battery. I think HTC have gone out of their way to address all of these. This phone addresses those things 10 fold over the Z, imo. Sure the Z can be considered more stylish (which it is imo), and is waterproof & dust proof, all fantastic... but let's be honest, ratio to your phone getting wet to your phone ringing or you being on your speaker phone, 99.9% - .001% Looks are great but I'll take functionality over looks every single time. I'll bet anyone right now, this will be the phone of the first half of this year. Possibly even the year.
[One (M7) General] forgottentq:
I really like this phone. Anyone know where to get them refurb'd really cheap?
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Uhm refurbished and really cheap? Don't think you'll be able to find one in months time.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
What do you think of camera/video quality also how is video whilst recording moving objects i.e the sound.
[One (M7) General] paulrh:
Ah, the strips. It's guaranteed to work perfectly then. My mistake :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] JOSE89178:
I have 150GB of Box Cloud Storage for life :D.

Really don't have a need for expandable storage. Unless you download a lot of HD high graphic games. But I did find this cool little device on Amazon that let's you connect your micro SD card or any USB storage device like a external hard drive and access it over WiFi on your tablet, smartphone, or computer.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I tried phone calls on the one yesterday in the three store and no issues what so ever.
[One (M7) General] paulrh:
Happily not everyone was affected by the iPhone problem. I really hope that this phone works as well as my DHD continues to however latest does not mean greatest, the Sensation being an example.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
I'm ready to be attacked.

The camera has put me off. The images show its only just better than the iPhone 5 camera, which is 6 month old tech. That's shocking, it should destroy everything out atm. It doesn't. It should of been 6 ultrapix.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Cloud storage isn't a viable option for a international phone no matter how you look at it. Like here in our country if I'd use cloud storage as a replacement for microsd I would have to pay like $200 to $400 per month for the mobile data I would use. And yeah WIFI is not an option as when I am at home I wouldn't need my phone for multimedia stuff since I have my PC just a few meters beside me.

But I really like the HTC One so I'll still buy it and decided to keep 2 phones beside me instead.

I just wish there's some portable gadget on which I could plug my microsd card in it and let it connect to the phone :(

A microSD to microUSB adapter would be great but I don't think that exists yet.

Anyways what do you guys think of this? Will this work with HTC One?

Well I'm going to pre-order my HTC One from a site that has a choice of 4 versions.

HTC One Beautiful Black - €693

HTC One Stunning Silver - €693

HTC One T Black - €624

HTC One T Silver - €624

I wonder what the differences are? Maybe the T-version has only 32GB, and the ones that are €40 euros more 64GB?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shguindi:
Good morning

I bought a new Lg Optimus 4X HD a couple of months ago. Phone non rooted running on latest available android OS. A couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing network loss, with resulting missing important phone calls. This is most annoying. I have tried turning the phone off and restarting, switching from WCDMA to 2G but still the same.

Any help please ??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrxtokki:
I was on my merry way to flash a new rom and kernel but I was being careless and also formatted my sdcard and now I have nothing in the card to flash any type of file. Can anyone point me to a directory with a rooted/unrooted odin flashable JB for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Is that the only way I can make my phone work? See the I can turn it on and put it into Recovery but it won't go anywhere else other than that... yeah i should have made a back-up but I never do and i never realized i would make a careless mistake. Please help as I now have no phone to use!

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Stickied posts made by efrant. XDA search bar if you need help after. Many people have gotten through this..you can too

Bloods thicker than water
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Don't use ODIN unless you have to. You seem to have a custom recovery, this usually offers the ADB interface. So, boot into recovery, use adb to push a ROM of your choice to the /sdcard/ and flash away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrxtokki:
I found couple posts that efrant has created but i can't figure out what to do.

currently, my phone is unlocked and rooted. i have CWM but how do i flash anything to my phone when i can't even run it?

i'm just very confused as I always had a phone with an external sdcard and if i was able to just put a rom inside of that... i would be able to use my phone again but I don't have the option.

i'm stuck with a phone with no rom and can't even send anything to the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrxtokki:
with the custom recovery, ie, the CWM v6 , i went to the sideload option and it says... "now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"

how do i push a rom into the phone? i'm a noob at this so i'm sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
You need to read Efrant's 101 & FAQ post first in order to get some basic Android knowledge. Follow the link in my sig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrxtokki:
I have read it but, I still have no idea what I need to be doing.

I really just need a step by step on how to use the sideloader to send the roms through the CWM recovery

All of this is really confusing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Don't use sideloading. You want to use adb push to send a ROM.zip to your /sdcard/. You already have a custom recovery, so you just need

- adb on your PC

- a ROM.zip to push

How to use adb and how to get it, is explained in Efrant's 101 & FAQ.

Hi,

i have a problem with my bhs3000 when using driving mode. If someone call,the driving mode will not pronounce the caller name through the earphone,it will pronounce the name through the phone speaker.

But for messaging,it will say the sender name through the earphone. Did anyone using the same model have this problem when using driving mode or anyone have solution for this?

[One (M7) General] Ashalak:
craftycarper1; fancy you being here! ;)

I pre-ordered an XZ, but having doubts over the device having ordered in I decided to cancel it and replace the device with a HTC One through P4U, they seemed quite happy to do it although unfortunately I did have to pay £100 towards the handset up front, but I will get £30 rebate apparently.. Hopefully I'll still qualify for one of the first 200 orders.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
:laugh: I decided that living for 2 years with the below par screen on the XZ would eventually get to me, so jumped ship back to the One.

I'm not holding out much hope of being one of the first 200.....even though i was banging away on the keyboard as the event yesterday was ending.:(

Never mind, they come with Beats buds and a flip case.:)

I noticed that CPW are doing the One with Solo Beats headphones with their offers.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:

HTC one black or Silver £65 uprfont £26 per month with 500 mins unlimited tests and unlimited Internet, this is probably the best I have seen so far. Better than CPW or P4U.

That's what i was hoping for........quite a novelty having a 12 month contract again, still, 3 weeks to go to see if some better deals crop up.

How did you get 12 months ? I've only ever seen 12 month contracts at like 50 pound a month
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
When the One X was announced last year Dialaphone and some others had a 12 month deal @ £36/month, there was an upfront payment of £109.99 i think, but also a Quidco cashback offer with £65 cashback, the deal also came with the HTC Media link.

Is that the small delay with the phone or the speakers?
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I would say the phone, but on the other hand, also being confirmed as one of the early takers, i would hope it means i would still receive the phone on the original date of 15th.........until i get an email stating otherwise i will expect it as per original confirmation.

I would imagine it's the same with all suppliers, they get allocated stock, if this gets oversubscribed then the later orders would have a short delay.....i may be completely wrong but that is my thoughts.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I didn't order till the 23rd as it took me a few days to decide but we have potentially 2 weeks to wait anyway and a lot can happen between now and then and if they arrive early then that is a definite bonus.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
This^^^^^,

they said my order is placed and has been accepted seeing as I did place my order over the phone anyway. Roll on two weeks time, hopefully the phone will come out slightly sooner.

Well P4U must be after some Brownie points today......i just had a call from them regarding "my post on their forum" about the promotional offer, and they can now confirm that i am to receive the speakers.......i'll probably get a forum reply from them as well later telling me i am one of the lucky one's.:D

[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:
On the Website it's £47 for 12 months and £99 up front for Unltd/Unltd/1GB (£663)

or £52 for 12 months with £59 up front for Unltd/Unltd/2GB (£683)

So you got the first deal with extra data, nice, though don't know how much it'd cost to add an extra gig to the 1GB tariff.

The £52/month deal costs another £20 overall do the saving doesn't look all that massive hah.

No pre-order extras from Vodafone either :(
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I don't think any deliveries will be on monday I have not seen anything that states any earlier release date than 15th. I am hoping the release date gets brought forward.
