Hopefully you won't get bored waiting for it (like me) :wink:

Did you by any change asked them when the case should be ready for shipping? I keep hearing "probably the next week" :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Montanna:
roko

Yep, I did ask and was told not for ages as they just rejected the proto-type last week, apparently because you would have to remove the xda from the case for charging etc and that's not what was agreed to design wise....the guy I spoke to was so annoyed he told me not to bother ordering it yet!!! to wait a month but I will... just to have yet another case to co-ordinate.

(as women do :wink: )
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] roko:
Another month :(

I'll order the Inno so I'll have atleast one case (for the time being) :wink:

Follow the previous mentioned link http://www.innopocket.com/EShop/Main/product.php?ID=63 and you will see the price.

I fully agree with Derek's review but like to add a couple of disadvantages:

1) The spring mechanism started to wear out in the case I had. I had to bend them back into shape.

2) Although perfectly padded on the inside there is the possibility of having the metal on the inside come into contact with your screen. Maybe it is just me being clumsy but I was nervous every time the XDA went into or out of the case.

I stopped using it and it is lying around somewhere here.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Guest:
Hmm... Re the Proporta case, it looks like someone else had my idea about holes for connectors!

It looks a bit slimmer than the innopocket. I'm hoping it has a cutout in the back to allow for the extended battery to poke out as well...

Somehow I dont think they will think of that one, otherwise it looks a much better design. Do let us know with a full on review when you get it Roko.... :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Peter T:
Hi I got the ali case, the thing is almost twice the width, but I really needed to stop the XDA from crashing out of my pocket, so I tried it for a few days, its like an ejector seat, My xda has hit the ground 6 times in one day, I lost my pen & a big card I had in it. Sorry it has gone in the draw. :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
:D Hi, i got my proporta ali case this morning - seems quite nice :) Very light and doesn't bulk up the device too much! Very strong too, no way i'll loose the screen with this baby on. All connectors/buttons can be got to with the case closed.

Will test it over the next few days!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
Oh and the whole of the inside is padded, no poss of scratches with this one!

I bought the innopocket alu case about four weeks ago. I ripped off the belt clip as soon as I got it because this thing is BIG and with the clip it is really big.

I have had problems hearing the phone ring when it is in my pocket because the speaker is encased in two layers of alu!

It is now showing quite a lot of wear and the case doesn't quite fit together properly.

I am ordering the proporta case today it looks like what I wanted in the first place!

some going on eBay for 19.50 buy it now plus 2 quid postage:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2744707326
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
Would love to but i have no ftp access here at work (firewalled) - will try and put some up at home when i get a chance!

The case fits quite snugly, so it doesn't add much to the size of the unit IMHO. Reasonable finish (i.e. doesn't look nasty) - hinge on outside of case on one side is only critism (for looks). Easily (from what i can see) the best thing going case wise for the XDA right now. Length and width same as XDA itself (minus ariel which sticks out of the top), with just a small gain in depth for the unit. Interior has very thin foam rubber on *all* of the inside (no metal exposed) and a small spring clip at the bottom (you slide the XDA in from the top of the unit)

Simple, reasonable classy looking and very strong.

Result! :D

Hope that lot helps some, again apols for no pics due to evil network admins!

P.s

Dangel do you get a tight fit with the XDA while inserting and removing from the Alu case. :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Lionel:
I just read through all comments on this topic and still have some questions.

1. I'd like to carry the xda with the proporta case on my belt. Does anyone know of a system with beltclip?

2. Is it possible to put the xda with the proporta case in the original cradle, so as to be able to recharge and connect with the USB to the desktop?

:roll:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] jerome:
Yes you can use a belt Clip i.e. http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=78 but at this moment only available for (Palm Series) .

One is not available for the XDA model case at yet (at the back of the case their is a screw hole available for the clip maybe the Plam version could be used they should all have the same screw hole) .

About the cradle, you can not recharge and connect with the USB to the desktop or sync. You have to use a USB cable ... this is the only disadvantage so far with the Alu case if you do not own a sync cable ...Dangel correct me if I right on this one :D :cry: :cry: :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Lionel:
thanks for your fast reply! I'm not sure if I understand this right. :oops: I don't have much experience with belt clips. The leather case I received with my xda had a beltclip with it but the notch broke off after 1 month, so I'm looking for someting more robust. I'll try to email proporta about the fablock belt clip you mentioned.

Any idea where to get the kind of USB cable to replace the cradle. Ideally also making it possible to recharge in one go?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] mattwilkinson:
I hope you have better luck e-mailing proporta then me - I am still waiting for a reply from last week!

You can buy a USB sync and charge cable from eBay (no I am not on commission) for about 7 GBP plus P&P (assuming you are in the UK).

I bought one for 12.99 that included an adapter so it can be charge from the car cigar lighter as well.

The charging time increases when charging from the USB port as it only supplies 0.5A which is lower than the mains charger supplied with the phone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Lionel:
I just called Proporta on the subject of the beltclip going with their alu-case. It should be on their site in one or two days.

:D :D :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] jerome:
Lionel

try this cable http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=366 I think it might work with the XDA it seem to have the same connectors e-mail them for confirmation (because I might consider purchase one)

and also I'm think of purchase Proporta 3 in 1 Stylus (XDA)

http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=485 if i purchase both it will save me on delivery cost order than purchasing from another vendor separately.

This link is guarantee http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=XDA-DC but not cost effective.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Lionel:
Jerome,

I took a look at the cable at proporta, but the one at ebay proposed by Matt at ebay is only 7.99£. The one at expansys is still more expensive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3338689301&category=3312

By the way, does that kind of cables recharge the xda just by plugging it into the USB-port of a desktop Pc, or am I getting something wrong?

I didn't find proporta's e-mail, just did a short phone call to GB.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] jerome:
Lionel

you can SYNC your XDA with your Desktop or Notebook computer and CHARGE the battery at the same time, with the same cable! No more bulky AC adapters or cradles to carry around!

Any Sync-N-Charge Cable That's compatible for the XDA will operate to above statement .hope that helps. Proporta email address is on this link scroll to the bottom if needed http://www.proporta.com/Default.asp?id=pp_faq .
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
Yup only 'downside' as such. Doesn't bother me too much although i might pick up a synch and charge cable for the office :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] jerome:
hi Dangle

purchase the cable with extras at this link http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=MOBPAKXDA for the Alu case .This is best charger kit at a great price i just placed an order can not wait. Everything you need for your XDA on the road. :wink: :wink: :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
Thanks for the link - good value. I've got a car charger already (well, sort of - my GPS cable also charges the phone!) and the transformer that came with the unit already covers 110-250v, with multiplug. So it's cheaper for me to just get the usb cable. Should get it today :)

Still thinking about modding my cradle to charge as well tho - it's a bit pointless plugging in a transformer when the power is available over the usb cable!

1. I can´t connect the xda to my pc with the USB-cradle, without removing the case.

2. Same problem for the car kit.....

Speaking quality is quite good. But i think, the Buttons for answer a phone call and to end it, are not very good reachable. (Or my fingers are too big). :-)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Lionel:
:D :D :D

I also bought the proporta case. Previously I used the standard leather case with belt-clip. The pin broke off twice. The proporta with beltclip is much more robuster. There was only a minor error when they sent me the stuff, they forgot to include the screw-butten to attach to the case and to hold on the clip. After contacting proporta they sent it immediately and I got it 3 days later
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] dangel:
Ha! I had the same problem - no screws!!! Again, they sent the screws under seperate cover within a couple of days.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justFaisal:
Has anyone tried using MTP transfer?

I'm trying to copy some files from the phone to the computer but it seems impossible through MTP.

What other methods you can use to transfer files?

I had to use adb pull command to pull all my data before i unlock the bootloader. I'm assuming that custom ROMs will let you connect the phone as an external storage device but what about people who don't/can't install custom rom? Do they have to live with those slow MTP speeds while transferring something to the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s10shane:
i had that issue with a GS3 and someone told me to try a different usb port on my computer. so i did and everything transferred much faster like it should.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justFaisal:
I tried everything and the only way i could get adequate speed was from adb.

I'm wondering why google didn't include external storage as an option to connect (in 4.2.2, i assume it's a software feature) like there is in some other phones that does not have sd card slot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr5678:
I don't think anything can fix MTP. It's so slow, that I have to use adb to transfer Clockworkmod backups.

I hate MTP so much.

The reason there's no mass storage option is because the geniuses at either LG or Google decided it was a good idea to make external storage a folder in /data/ rather than have a dedicated /sdcard/ partition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xs400:
Slow transfers with MTP on Nexus 4

** Note: You need a OTG cable with a power connector & ROOT

Nexus 4 - Stock ROM 4.3 ROOTED.

OTG cable with power connector

USB patch

StickMount app

An earlier version of Directory Opus (sorry, the trial expired and I did not note the exact version) seemed to do a good job of transferring files from the Nexus to the PC (Win 7), but when I tried it on another computer and it no longer worked (transfer stopped before it actually completed).

I tried the following and it worked for me:

Check these links:

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-advanced-usb-otg-nexus-4

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820

Use the patch that is suitable for your rom.

install StickMount, connect the usb otg cable to portable drive (in my case a seagate 320 GB Freeagent), the power, and then the phone.

The drive is mounted under /sdcard/usbstorage/sd1

You may need the ntfs-3g file from Chainfire's site.

Transfers were at 7 to 8 MBps from the Nexus to the portable drive [NO PC/Windows involved]. This is better than MTP and DirectoryOpus [when it worked] which was at around 4MBps.

The other option is to use SuperBeam app.

DirectoryOpus might work, but you probably need the right combination of MTP drivers, DirectoryOpus version and Windows version.

Yep, this is my 2nd Go phone and it too has a nasy light bleed issue under certain angles. Feel free the post your photos of screen so everyone can compare. Looks like Sony didn't care to much about quality on the Go phones. My X10 Mini pro didn't have this defect.

My first Xperia Go.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] knight862:
I have the same issue on my Xperia U. There are light leaks from both side of the screen. I sent it to the service and they said it's normal. Actually they didn't say anything, they've just returned my phone. It is an unacceptable fault from company like Sony. I guess, We had to deal with that kind of problems when it's comes to choosing a low-end device. In that case, a nearly high-end device like you have. Because most of the phone manufactures don't care about build quality when it is comes to low-end devices. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vbx:
Wow, so it's also affecting other Sony models. Sony needs to step it up. Because ever since they dropped Ericsson, their quality seems to be going down hill. Seems like they trying to rush with all these new phones coming out.

By Sony not giving a rats ass about quality, it's no wonder Samsung, LG, HTC and even Motorola has a better reputation than Sony. My next phone won't be a Sony that's for sure. Heck, I might as well get the Meizu instead.

My old school Sony Walkman didn't have these light leaks. The camera on that phone takes faster and better pictures than my X10 mini. Also, that phone has a built in "phone recorder".

Not sure why Sony stopped including the recorder.

I have the folder from the stickies section and I have bought movie Odin pro so I was wondering how to properly flash the modem with it...

Hey Jack make sure you check out the map that is in Doc's Modem thread in post 2 I believe. It has points in the country where users hav put their modem, speeds and sometimes ROM/kernel combos too.
