[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
My phone was working just fine before I went to bed. I woke up this morning an my phone was stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" boot screen. I can't seem to get my phone back to a working state Here's what I've done so far:

I rebooted my device - didn't work.

I rebooted into recovery, wiped everything and installed clean rom 7 - no luck.

I've tried to ODIN back to stock and ODIN freezes immediately after it starts (for periods > 30 mins).

I've tried ODIN with two different USB cables.

Any idea on how I can get my phone back to a working state?

I am seeing the product name in download mode, so I don't suspect the "sudden death syndrome" that I've read about with the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
When you flash a new rom in recovery, what exactly happens? Does it completely finish, and when you reboot it gets stuck at the boot screen? Also have you tried restoring a backup?

You might have a bad rom download, but that doesn't explain why odin keeps failing. Try to do a factory reset without flashing anything and see if it'll boot up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueCross:
When installing the rom, it completes and reboots like normal. I've tried three different roms (and they've worked in the past) with no luck, so I don' think I have a bad download. Restoring a backup fails every time - I have multiple backups.

I've also done the factory reset - no go. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I'm pretty sure this is your problem.

This should fix everything. It sounds like a data writing issue.

I've ordered the "Simai" Quicksand Case from this website, they offer quick courier international delivery.

http://www.casesss.com/model.aspx?model=223&categories=6

So far, I think that is the best case for the P6 because its very thin and has a premium matte sandy texture to it :)

Hey dudes!

I bought 2 of these ones:

It's the best case you can buy; I recommend it to all :o

Thanks daryltanael
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
See! i told you! :D its the best case for the p6! :highfive:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
But how is this case different from the cover that comes with the p6 box ? Besides the color?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
im telling you guys the simai case is the slimmest case and the most "grippy" case you can get for the P6, its not very bulky like most of the cases out there. :highfive:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Could you post a close up pic of your case ?

Im still wondering how it is different from the case that comes with the phone ? I use that case and its good to me in that it fits perfectly and not bulky, its opaque and dont sacrifice my white color p6, and the material is a type that is durable and does not get dirty too quickly.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
Simai Case = Very slim flexible polycarbonate matte premium feel sandpaper texture, very grippy.

Free Huawei Case = Thick soft silicone, very bulky compared to the Simai Case.

:highfive: just buy the simai case man and I promise you, you wont regret it! :highfive:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Thanks for that. But one more question, is it susceptible to stains or dirt ?

I'd probably buy the crystal case cause i dont want to sacrifice the color: http://www.casesss.com/product.aspx?model=223&pid=1338

Also you got screen protectors from this same store ? I could order both together if so :confused:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
Nope, it's not susceptible to stains and dirt. :highfive:

Actually, I don't use screen protectors.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] interdan:
I have a crystal case and it is very nice on the phone.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
I have used the default in-box coming case for over 3weeks, and after i removed the case i realise i was missing quite a lot interms of beauty, slimness, weight, material and screen depth.

Now im wondering which case would minimize sacrificing the original design. The crystal case i thought of buying weights a 100g, which is a doubling of the phone weight. Makes me more interested in the bummer case that only covers the edges. (http://www.vmall.com/product/560.html ) :confused:

What do you guys do ? Cant have such beauty and not feel it cause of the case coming in the way.:(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] daryltanael:
I just told you guys, you need to buy the simai case like I did! its the perfect case for the P6 without sacrificing slimness and weight! go back a few pages and check my post! :highfive:

This Ecell trader got 1000s of other designs. Is it good quality ? Im thinking of buying them too.:silly: Although im waiting for my crystal case to arrive. :laugh:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
I received my crystal case today. :good:

Better than expected. Very slim and at times you would feel that you arent using a case. The crystal color brings out the original color quite well. Im quite satisfied that it properly suited my need of wanting a cover that wouldnt sacrifice the original feel and color. The build quality is good and comfortable to hold. Slightly flexible. Fits solidly. But a negative is that near the volume keys its a bit clicky. I guess it because of the grill design holes for the keys. An opening without a grilling (like the opening in top for usb) would have been better fit as well as better access to the keys.

Attached pics with case on and compared with Huawei case that came in the box.

The crystal case of Imak might be better than this i brought, as the imak one is mentioned a scratch resistant while this one i brought is not.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Same here. I would like to know how good the case is like if the print would last or would it quickly get worn out and if the case is too bulky, etc.

I was close to buying that too but because of some paypal crap procedure on ebay, id have to buy it later.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mkstevo:
I've just bought this one from KWMobile (through Amazon), in black rather than the blue of the picture.

Very reasonably priced (£6.60 inc. P&P) fits the 'phone well and looks fairly good, given the price. I have used the case from the box since owning the 'phone but kept thinking that there's nothing protecting the screen. The size of the 'phone is probably no bigger now than with the Huawei original.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] 90mrsandman:
I bought metal case from ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Luxury-Aluminum-Metal-Hard-Cover-Back-Case-For-Huawei-Ascend-P6-/261276438023?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=560222863164&hash=item3cd54a0e07)

It feels very solid and high quality, but there is some cons too; it drops a few signal bars and headphone pin is hard to take out. Volume buttons are easy to use.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] interdan:
I had read about people who complain problems with metal case (few segnal), and you have confirmed these issues :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Yes metal would effect the wifi, that is why the P6 got non-metallic at the bottom where the wifi is. But i have also read that metallic cases with some holes on it, would not be a problem for the wifi.

Anyone tried something like this ? It's the only one i liked so far, and it might be a perfect combo with front+back screen protector.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
I am using one of these "bumper cases", in black, bought for US$6.99. Very nice fit and finish. Love it. Mine has 3 buttons (power, vol+, vol-).

One caveat: the opening at the headphone 3.5mm plugin is too small. The original Huawei earphone's horizontal plug can't go in. I had to use another earphones with a straight plug. No big deal for me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
Interesting! Can you make a photo, would it be possible to be widened? I actually like the angular connector, despite i dont use the headphones so much...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Where can i buy this? :D

E: Search it here http://www.aliexpress.com/ with words "Huawei Ascend P6 Bumper case"
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Asce...ith-Retail-Package-Slim-Armor/1380483891.html i linked it in the original post
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
It's made of strong aluminum. So unless you have the right equipment, I wouldn't risk widening it.

I like the original Huawei P6 headset with angular connector too. :(

See photos attached.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
Thanks for the photos! It looks awesome with the black bumper, I want black too :)

I meant a photo of the jack itself... Never mind, I will ask the seller about a photo of theirs... and maybe can get a reduction of the price If i can prove it wouldn't fit :) Where did you order btw ?

edit: As I know search, I find all sorts of affordable China-ish bumpers and cases at amazon ! :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
Yes, it looks gorgeous for sure. My friend with iPhone was drooling when he saw it. Now he's thinking about jumping ship. Why suffer from a 4" iPhone5 when you can have a sexier, slimmer and bigger 4.7" Huawei P6? Hehehe.

I bought it in a shop in Shenzhen, China while vacationing in Hong Kong. That's why it's so cheap. I should have installed the case & tested the earphones right there. Still, for that beautiful look, I would take the case no matter if the angular plug fits or not. :)

You can actually buy a 3.5mm male-female straight plug adapter or extension to continue using P6's earphones. Only cost US$2.00.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
A closer look.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
The male to female is an option, but also running away from the problem. I am still not sure if I should order from China for 8-9$ and wait, or from Europe for 10 euro. I think there are a lot of delays lately from China. I have been waiting for a soldering wire for 40 days now...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
For such small price, I would buy locally. Difference is too small.

Watch out for the size of the adapter plug as well. I found out some straight plugs are still too big (in diameter) to go through the bump case's opening. Most earphones' straight plug fits, though.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
http://www.amazon.de/Ultra-Aluminiu...58457&sr=8-3&keywords=huawei+ascend+p6+bumper

This seems not so made in china and wide enough. Also looks good in red :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] UpUpAndAway:
Good luck getting a non-China made bumper case. :D

Don't let the angular plug sway your purchase decision. The bumper case is worth it. Without a back "insulated" back plate, it's even good for heat conduction & ventilation. Unlike those other plastic case covers.

I bought a nice (and reasonably priced) Chinese earphones with straight plug to go with my case. I'm more than happy.

I meant non-SO-china made :D

I bought a new TPU cover super thin, it is thick 0.3 mm.

Here are the pictures, after a few days of use I can say that the grip of the back is not bad, the cover perfectly protects the metal body, but does not cover the corner of the screen, no problem with the usb cable :cowboy:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
By not covering the corners , you mean that the front edges of the phone are not covered right ? I notice that in the pictures. It reduces thickness of cover, but on the other hand it reduces protection on the screen when wanting to place the phone on a surface with screen facing down.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] interdan:
Yes,exactly the cover doesn't protect the screen, fot that I use a screen protector and I hope that it doesn't fall :angel:

The cover is designed to protect the aluminium body (the silver part in the picture)

Any links to stores that send cases through fast delivery like within 2 weeks for sure ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lootjelo:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-Real-Leather-Flip-Cover-case-For-Huawei-Ascend-P6-/321164627005 This looks pretty good :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Okay so i ended up breaking my crystal casing. Removing and wearing the crystal casings are a bit of trouble as it scares the hell out of me that it might cause some scratch on the P6 and remove the paint. So i stretch the case wide out before removing or fitting in the phone, to be safe and i ended up breaking the grill of the case for the volume keys.

Looked for other cases. I wanted to buy the another cyrstal case itself (but this time the imak brand because it is scratch proof) as the P6 looked and felt great with the crystal case, but couldn't find a online store that delivers it fast.

I instead ordered the head case designs cases two weeks ago. It arrived today. I brought 3 of them, (2 for p6 and one for another mobile), as there is a buy 2 and get 1 free offer.

Review of the cover:

Firstly, the covers in real look different from what is advertised: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAD-CASE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4613e10b54

The advertised images on ebay seem like the sticker even reaches the sides. But in real the sticker does not cover the sides (although it does does cover the top and bottom). In the ebay images, the cover also seems like soft/comfortably shaped and curved. But in real the covers are basically the crystal case type, on which they put a sticker and not as curved.

The sticker has a slight soft mat type feel. At start it felt the sticker might not stay long but lightly scratching and testing, it seems it will last fine. Maybe they coated something over the sticker. Gripping is good.

Other than that, the casing fits perfect and is slim and does not sacrifice the original slimness. The openings for the camera, headphones, and keys are better than the crystal casing i brought earlier.

Hope i dont end up breaking this case. :eek: If wearing the case would have been easier, i would have more often switched between the couple of cases i have. :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] interdan:
finally some pictures of Head Case for P6, please Warea could you post some pictures of the cover with inside the phone? I'm curious to see how the cover protects the screen, thank you. :victory:

Yes, I'm sending it back. The sucker is not good, the case doesn't stay closed and I don't like that it doesn't close plain.

I think this one is better if it is available in your country: Flip Case

Yea, its nice. Does it stay closed with a magnet?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jagwar1:
I don't think so. But imho that's not that important.

It was just annoying with the original Case because it made a noise when it opend itself and it didn't close plain.

I like Cases like this more. And since there is no Case Mate Barely There for the P6 I ordered the 2,99 Euro Case :)

Anyone using a bumper, are there any wifi signal problems ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shaman3k:
Hi , about a week ago, my phone got a battery problem

Here is the reason :( :

** Sorry I cant post image , so I am gonna attack screen shots **

Can you let me know what the problem is and how to solve it , please :( ?

My phone is rooted and using stock room. I experienced random reboot too :(?

Thank you very much
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well 1st of all remove ALL the apps you're using to get those info I mean ALL those apps, they drain your battery, since you can't close any of the following you mentioned in the title.. Use greenify and juice defender ONLY... and give it 2-3 days and run 5-6 battery cycles and it'll be far more better :)

Also remove the duplicate apps... Ex: kakao and viber works the same way :/ also auto sync, turn it off OR sync ONLY the important stuff
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
And also turn gps off when it not needed..

And same to data connection.

You will feel the difference in battery life...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
You probably are having battery problems because of certain apps. If apps are accounting for 90 percent of battery drain then i would uninstall the ones you don't need, and use Greenify to hibernate apps you don't use.

Also turn off data, GPS, Wifi, etc and whatever you don't need so it won't drain the battery. :) Juice defender can help with that. But I like the quick settings toggles.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shaman3k:
Thanks guys :) .

I did turn off auto syns , gps and unneeded stuff since I got my phone . These apps and settings has been using for 4 or 5 months without any problems . My battery used to last for more than a day .

I didnt change any settings or download any new apps before the problem happened :( .

And as you can see , the suckers are system , kernel , and sometime media sucked more than 40% ???

And my phone wad keept awake all the time :-s ??
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Even if your kernel system and media sacked your battery you can't do anything bout it cuz closing them is like breaking your Rom so delete the other stuff :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shaman3k:
Deleting the others apps can save me 10% juice . But how abot the otger 90% being sucked by the system :( ??

Time for new ROM !

why dont u try another ROMlike energy or kaioken which awesome for battery !!!! and fast too...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shaman3k:
I'd like to , but as much as I know ,there arent any rooms that having bluetooth working , right ? Since I use bluetooth headset alot :) ...

And every tine I flash a new room , all of my data will be earased right ? I want ro keep my messeges though :(?

Sorry , I am still learning :-ss
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Ha ha ...

Use Hellium backup,

My backup pro,

Titanium backup to backup all your data include sms. Logs, apps, etc,....

And than try supersense 1.4 .

According to me it has all features working that you want...

Hit thanks if we helped you !!!:thumbup::thumbup:
