[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I think the Poetic $10 bumper is worth it (even more so when it was only $6). It's a bit smaller so feels more comfortable in the hand, but I think protects it just as well as the bigger OEM bumper. And only half the cost.

The OEM bumper does have a more premium feeling build quality. But the Poetic bumper fits perfectly and the buttons work great. So seems like a better value.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
Don't know about protect against drops because I don't drop my phone, but the official bumper is sick! I almost wish the real phone had these sides.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XupModz:
Yes I have it I don't particularly like the way the buttons feel (kinda hard to press) but it's still a good cover
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlr1000:
i dropped mine on a concrete floor in an underground parking lot. Bumper sustained minor marks but no damage to phone. I've used both Poetic (much cheaper) and the counterfeit dx-box bumper. They both pale in comparison to stock bumper. Yes, the stock bumper is expensive but no regrets in buying it. It looks so much better than any case out there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elsydeon:
I bought the LG bumper at release, sold it for a profit, got a replica, but promptly rebought the LG bumper (now that the hype has passed) and sold the replica. Yes the replicas have the look, but like most replica products, just simply doesn't have the same fit and finish as the real deal. If you're ok with the wider feel the LG bumper has on the Nexus 4, then I'd say the genuine bumper is well worth it. It's the most expensive case I've ever bought for a phone, and the only case I've actually bothered to buy twice to boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
+1 Its worth the extra money and you guys know I've bought and tried every bumper out there. Only reason I use the replicas so much is cause of the colors. The only replica I have that fits like the OEM ones is my blue replica (just got lucky I guess). But then again the replicas are about half the price of a OEM one so I dunno Lol. Overall the OEM is the best case I've ever bought for a phone quality, looks and fit wise.

I went from poetic bumper to LG to poetic again. Looks wise, the official bumper looks like it's part of the phone. But I tend to go back to the poetic because it keeps the phone thin. Poetic has great customer service to boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
This is why cases are great. We can have more than one and change them constantly. All types and colors it makes me so happy that even my cats purr :D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smallsmx3:
Is the oem bumper soft and rubbery or hard and plasticky? I'm considering one
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hmmm I would say a mix. The band is plastic and feels lil like the bezel. The tpu rubber part feels kinda like the sides of the n4 behind the bezel just with the etching done for grip. The black part around the screen feels the same just smooth without the etching. You can tell it was designed by the same designer as the N4 cause it looks like its part of the phone. Whereas the poetic bumper u can tell u have a case on. This is why I love my lg bumper cause it looks like I don't have a case on :thumbup: IMHO

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamUpNorth:
+1 to this. I bought both and IMO the Poetic is the winner.

Feels much better in the hand due to the smoother edges.

Little slimmer than the official in both width and depth.

Sticks to surfaces better due to the rubber they use.

The USB port opening isn't as deep making it easier to the cables with larger ends.

And I also found the material it less slippery than the official bumper.

1/2 the price of the official bumper.

The only thing the official LG bumper is better at is looks and button feedback.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikelight:
I prefer the way the poetic bumper looks and feels.. To me the lg bumper is more obvious to tell that you have a case on, Cuz no phone should be that wide.. I have somewhat big hands, and it just feels unnatural to hold.. And it gets dirty on the etched sides from holding over time, and is very difficult to clean because of the etching.. With the poetic, just wipe and you're done.. That's my take on them, anyways.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdi7451:
Yea, but I'm not going for looks. I just want to know if this thing is gonna protect the this fragile, fragile, fragile phone from drop of about 3-5 feet. I don't want to speed 300+ in this phone and then have it break.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prosper Meniere:
Hi all, i got a Nexus 7 one months ago and i like it very much. I love stock jb it's very smooth and fast but i want to flash cm 10.1 cause i flashed it in every phone i had and finally i can have the official one!

Now, i searched and read a lot but i can't understand if it's better to unlock root and flash manually or through one of the toolkit for the N 7. What do you think about it?

Are there some risks with the toolkits? Thank you :highfive:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, Prosper Meniere..

I don't think there's any real risk from toolkits... many of them do an admirable job... but I think if you really want to LEARN and gain COMPLETE control of your device, then MANUAL is the way to go.

Learn about ADB and FASTBOOT... it's really not that complicated...

-----

There are four basic steps to rooting and/or flashing your favoured ROM...

1) Unlock the bootloader.

2) Fastboot flash a custom recovery - (TWRP or CWM).

3) Using that recovery...

--- flash Chainfire's SU updater package --- to gain ROOT.

--- OR alternatively, flash a CUSTOM ROM --- which likely will already be ROOTED.

4) Reboot... and that's it.. seriously - it that's simple:).

-----

Toolkits 'mask' or hide the basic fundamentals of what they do from the end user (for ease of use, of course) ... but because their algorithms and heuristics CANNOT POSSIBLY COVER EVERY SINGLE CONTINGENCY... some situations may arise where you may to have to deal with FASTBOOT and ADB directly, and maybe even some TERMINAL emulator stuff.

So, I think it's better to acquaint yourself with that knowledge sooner... rather than later...

Anyway... just my thoughts.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prosper Meniere:
Your answer is right i have to do it manually if i want to learn. Thank you. But because i had to do it manually with my phones (galaxy ace, xperia sola) i saw these toolkit and i was curious. But like you say the manual way is the best one. Thank you man i'm gonna do it right now! :highfive:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlxanthus:
I also agree. Best to learn the manual method first. I will be honest, I use the tool kits, but I CAN do it the manual way and have as needed. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
I'm wondering if I should learn a bit more about Toolkits - maybe try Wugs... so at least can I understand what hell people are going on about :).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewb66:
So I'm delighted with my new HTC One, and still learning the features and capabilities.

Blinkfeed provides a feed of multiple sources of news, tweets, posts etc., but I'm finding it easy to miss important things, and I'm seriously missing the HTC Mail, News and Friend Stream widgets I had on my Sensation and before that the Desire.

The HTC Calendar widgets have made it onto the One, but there aren't any HTC ones for the other data.

I've searched Google Play, and only come up with Pure Messenger which works pretty well for Twitter & Facebook, but although it support mail feeds, you can't use the stock HTC Mail app having to replace it with "K9 for Pure" - which I'm not keen on.

Am I missing something? What recommendations do people have to replace my former favourite wdgets - or is there a better way to use Blinkfeed?

All and any (constructive) suggestions welcomed.

Thanks for your feedback.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2DaRice:
I just bought a GT-N7100 (International Note 2) from someone who bought it Taiwan a few weeks ago and when he got home, couldn't use it because he has Verizon. I have AT&T and don't mind not having LTE as I don't use data too much on the go so it was perfect for me. Although I told him I wanted the stock Touchwiz Firmware when I bought it, a MIUI ROM was loaded when I got it. When I inserted my SIM card it worked on the ATT Network and I had no issues for about an hour. I went to Samsung-updates.com to get the stock firmware and reflashed the phone to run Touchwiz.

Well, when I flashed the new/stock Firmware, the boot animation got stuck in a loop and I let it run for a good 30 mins before shutting the phone off doing a factory reset in Recovery Mode. After resetting, the phone booted up and I was able to set everything up and use my wifi at home, but I was unable to connect to any mobile network for phone calls or data (couldn't even call out to ATT customer service). Ever since I tried flashing the stock Firmware (I used ODIN to flash the zip I got from samsung-updates.com) I cannot connect to the AT&T network. It is not an issue with the SIM card as I've tried my wife's SIM with the same issue and my SIM works fine on her phone. I've since tried flashing other ROMs that are both Touchwiz based and CM10 based, including: Alliance ROM, MIUI, CyanogenMod 10, and Paranoid Android. Each ROM has had different APN settings that I have tried to no effect. I've also researched a few APNs that I've entered manually with still no results. The phone does me no good if I can't use it away from my house on a network. PLEASE HELP!!

*#06# to see if your imei is correct and not reverted to generic. Compare the imei displayed to the box or back of the device
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2DaRice:
When I check the IMEI, it matches the box and the back of the phone except it has a /01 after it. So it reads 3536.......86 / 01. I'm not sure if that matters at all. But if not then the IMEI is good. The serial number also matches the back of the phone. From all the reading I've done, it's something to do with the EFS Folder but I don't really know where to go from here.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
So from this we know your efs is not messed up and you have the correct imei set on the phone efs. From what I read so far you really need to call network operators and ask them by giving your imei number to see why your phone is not getting registered to the network. Do you think it might be blacklisted stolen lost phone?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Now I have your attention. :D

Yeah, I have no idea when it will be released but I thought I would just post a heads up on what has been going on over with the TF300 guys.

There are a lot of people who have now hard bricked their devices (probably 10 to 20 reported cases).

The issue is around the way Asus have implemented their latest boot loader - they seem to have changed the type of partitions it wants to use. I don't understand the full technical details but if you upgrade with the wrong combination of custom recovery it seems very easy to brick the device.

If you are unlocked and are not on TWRP 2.4.4.0 and don't flash a full ASUS STOCK FIRMWARE first it seems this is the most likely cause.

So for every one who is unlocked:

1. Don't try to flash OTA updates under any circumstances - this is the fastest way to hard brick. Noone has recovered from this

2. Make sure you are on TWRP 2.4.4.0 before updating and that includes flashing the FULL ASUS FIRMWARE hosted on their site. CWM is not supported currently.

3. Do not flash just a bootloader blob file from recovery until it can be confirmed it is safe to do so.

Anyway - no news from Asus yet but hopefully enough people will read this so we don't end up like the unfortunate TF300 crowd who have more bricked devices appearing every day as people don't read and think they can just update as they have been used to doing in the past.

BTW there is difficulty downgrading from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1 although one user has successfully done it - it seems very complicated to achieve. I will write it up once we understand it fully.

Please heed the warning folks. (This does not apply to stock locked users who can OTA from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Here is some info from PJC21 (does one of my themes) that may hep some of our expert users understand moreL
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It rather helps confuse me more. :)

Bootloader, recovery and boot partitions never had a filesystem and could never be formatted with fastboot. It can only format ext4. Other partition types can simply be erased or flashed as raw image.

(At least I learned something new - I didn't know that fastboot has ext4 support at all)
[Asus Transformer TF700] iamborba:
I'll just wait until you release cromi 4.2.1 . Asus can shove their update up their collective Assus, see what I did there, ah good times. :D

Damn important stuff!

Who knows what will come of this.
