[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
Or different variations, at least.

Mine's glued as well and doesn't have the slight imperfection shown in the OP's photo (see the closeup of the bottom of the back).

Other than the logo pressed into the front cover, I'm not seeing anything that differentiates this case from so many others with a similar design. Is it the finely textured silicone back or the specific cutouts that are supposedly so different?

A lot of people have complained about the cover not being magnetized on this or that case, but what they seem not to have noticed is that none of the cases have had strong magnets that kept the cover closed. Rather than complaining about each individual case, why not take a step back and ask what technical issue with the N7 (and a lot of other smartphones, tablets and e-readers) might have stopped case manufacturers from wanting to use strong magnets?

Practical info:

The case works with the Samsung Qi charger, but just barely, and it's fussy. Move the N7 ever so slightly and it stops charging.

The charge is faster and more reliable once I remove the case.

Perhaps this is true of similar cases with the same design or perhaps it's symptomatic of some other issue with the N 7.2 and/or 4.3. I wouldn't know because this is the first cover I've bought for my new device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kcchen:
My original case was stitched. There is a magnet that shuts off the screen when the flap is closed. And when the tablet is not in deep sleep, turns on the screen when the cover opens. The manner is small and close to the spine.

My v2 came glued and the quality isn't the same. Therefore I believe it's counterfeit.

Magnets seem to cause issues with the N7, but the more likely reason behind the lack or magnets in covers is patent infringement. Apple has patents to the "smart cover".
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] swisstourist:
I still have the box... How can I know if it s counterfeit?

Mine has magnet to switch off the screen and work great.

Placed on my iq from eBay, works well. With a plus 15 percent charging per hour.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] d0rkster:
So which is the better version of the Nillkin case? The one with stitches or the glued one?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] swisstourist:
Glued model seem thinner if you use a qi charger go with glued.

I looked at the box and it look original, no typo mistakes, 3d sticker, nice box in general.

How do you clean it? The inside of the cover start to turn grey after handling it after a month.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] lapocompris:
There is a golden logo on the box, you can scratch it to reveal the serial number and check here : http://nillkin.com/english/service.asp?mid=5&sid=0

Mine is authentic but the smart cover is not working because the magnet is not well placed, too low by a few milimeters.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
If you look at promotional shots of the V Series cover on Nillkin's site, you'll see that the back piece is glued rather than stitched, which makes sense, because the back doesn't have the same leather-like finish as the front. The V Series seems to be different from Nillkin's "Stylish Leather Series", which is stitched.

Did the packaging that came with your first case refer to it as the V Series or the Stylish Leather Series?

Also, I have the glued version and just authenticated it on Nillkin's site. Here's the message you receive when you check the SN behind the gold sticker on the box:

.

Have you tried that with the case you suspect is counterfeit?

=============

Re wireless charging: The Nexus 7 2013 charges quite well in the Nillkin case when I use the Lerway Qi charger. For some reason, the official Samsung charger is far, far fussier.

=============

Has anyone seen Nillkin's "Dream Series" cases offered for sale in the States (see below)? I've only seen it on Ali Express and in non-U.S. auctions on eBay; no one on Amazon seems to offer it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] swisstourist:
Ok. checked mine... It s an original....

Now big question... How to clean it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
The biggest issue with the lack of a stronger magnet on the V Series case seems to be drop protection: The front cover will open as the device falls downward, exposing the screen.

The commercial Velcro strips I've tried in the past haven't been strong enough to prevent the above scenario reliably. If there's a stronger option, can anyone provide links?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] hardrock121:
Where can I get one of these.. The one on Amazon is a different one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
Get one of which case -- the V Series, the Stylish Leather Series or the Dream Series? At least three different Nillkin cases and variations have been mentioned so far.

As far as I know, all three cases are sold on Amazon. The trick is actually getting the one shown in the pictures on the product page.

My first case (not the Dream case I just ordered) is the V Series case. As featured in ads, it has a grippy textured-plastic back with a glued (not stitched) overlapping piece. The serial number has been verified and the box reads "V Series" (with logo) on the front.

Sometimes the discrepancy between styles isn't actually the seller's fault. Amazon seems to have automated the merging of product pages, which can be wrong. They'll also switch your order to a different Prime seller -- sometimes linking to a different product page and showing a different color or model on the order itself -- if the supply for the first runs out.

Recap:

Stylish Leather Case (shot of the back with stitched piece from the presentation on the official site, visible here):

V Series Case (closeup of glued piece on back taken from presentation here):

Dream Series Case (note that the name of the model is featured in the circle below the window of the packaging) from official presentation shown here:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] swisstourist:
last one is nice but 134 grams to ad.

btw just cleaned in soapy water mine nillkin V. let drie an hour and most dirty marks are gone. Very good quality....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] hardrock121:
The V series, I dont care about the dream series, he design looked a bit girly to me.. I care about the magnetic lidso that auto on off works,I have read a lot of ppl had issues with that not working. So where can i get a working auto on/off leather v series with a magnetic clasp to keep it locked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Reignogleph MMXI:
I agree that the Dream Series looks a tad girly, which is why I bought one for my girl! (Nothing wrong with another guy liking it, though.)

The V Series is the one which has reliable sleep/wake but not a stronger magnet that keeps the case closed or another that reinforces presentation mode. Truthfully, none of the Nillkin slim cases will stay shut like the Poetic does. I'll let you know how the Dream fares when I receive it so that we can at least know Nillkin does occasionally care about locking case features.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] hardrock121:
thanks man
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] djbenny1:
its really annoying that the case doesnt stay closed - that's a deal breaker for me otherwise i'd have one of these in a second.

have one for my HTC one and it's fantastic
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kcchen:
There's no magnetic snap, but it lays flat and the screen turns off from the magnet near the spine. I've gotten into the habit of flipping the tablet over so the weight keeps it shut. Or sandwiching it so the cover is clamped shut.

Its a nice cover (compared to the Poetic or Moko), and I don't mind adapting the way I work to suit its limitations.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cobyman7035:
damn ya, i'll get a poetic slim or moko in white

dealbreaker if it won't close with the clasp
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] djbenny1:
Lol I bought the Nillkin in the end anyway. Thinking about it I rarely set the tablet upside down so it's not really a problem.

I prefer the shape of the Nillkin stand to the other 2, and I think it just looks better in general. Too bad they didn't do the clasp but it's not a deal breaker after all for me
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] insanezz:
I just bought the nillkin V series case, and for some reason the sleep/wake function doesn't work ... This was kinda the reason i bought it since not many other cases had this.. Does anyone have a solution? I'm full stock 4.4.2 so..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] jfriend33:
So many copies of the same case! Wish the official Asus one had sleep wake feature. Using moko ultra slim updated version and loving it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] nupi:
My ebay one came without case (not an issue) but does not turn off the screen at all, I guess that's a fake then?

Hey everybody, I am currently in the market for some new earbud headphones for my S4. I have heard about a lot of people having problems with no stock headphones and I want to avoid that. The headphones I am looking for need the following features:

1. Fit comfortably in ear and don't fall out when running (I personally really like the iPhone 5 style headphones for this)

2. Has volume/track control & mic that works for Android (most seem to be apple only)

3. Decent to Good audio quality

4. Hopefully not super tangley material

Please let me know what you guys think, I am having a hard time finding headphones with those constraints. I would be happy with the iPhone 5 headphones, except for the controls not working and they tangle horribly and easily. My budget is in the $100 range but I'm open to whatever suggestions.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] amf3:
Take a look at yurbud. I just bought some, just waiting for them to come in. The only problem is that the don't have the volume control but do have the mic and track button.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
The default thing people will reccommend to you would be the Klipsh Image S4's although there is a designated android version, it only has a one button remote. As far as I know, the only headphones/earbuds that have a 3 button remote for android are the stock S4 headphone's, a variant of urbeats and I believe there is one more but I cant quite think of it.

You can also check out Head-Fi for reviews on headphones by audiophiles.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] itsdubai:
Get some bose ie2 headphones. 99 bucks retail. Great sound. They never fall out. They are exactly what you are looking for. I love mine.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameraddikted:
Hey guys. Hoping to get some assistance here. My N10 seems to always freeze on the google (with the unlock icon) screen. I was coming from Mr Robinson's Buttered AOKP 4.2.2 to PAC MAN 4.3. I performed a factory reset and formated my data. Flashed the appropraite ROM and GAPPS after which I performed a reboot. This is when it decided to freeze up. Saw this and said to myself "no biggie" and repeated the aforementioned steps again just in case there was an error on my part. After performing this again it was a success. Started up the setup procedure and began downloading TBU to restore my apps. After downloading TBU I turned it off, took a break, and about 15 minutes later, powered it back on and to my surprise it was stuck on the Google screen again. I thought maybe the ROM file I flashed was corrupted so I tried flashing CM 10.2, and a few others. Every initial boot after installation I have no problems but any reboot afterwards brings me back to the frozen Google screen. At this point I'm stuck. Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koopa777:
The Google screen represents the bootloader, and has nothing to do with the ROM. Two reasons I could think of.

1. Your bootloader's funky. I find that hard to believe, but it's possible. A full factory image flash(including manually erasing the bootloader) would fix this.

2. Your partitions are funky. You may have seen/heard about issues like this from the Kindle Fires I see in your signature. If even one partition is out of place(from a bad flash or otherwise) the system will refuse to boot. It sounds like it's either the userdata(media) or the cache partition, seeing as how the system boots fine once, but gets corrupted later(when these partitions get altered). Again, a full factory flash should fix this issue.

Or it could be something really simple, but that's all I've got. I've never heard of this issue before. :(
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameraddikted:
Just my luck to have an uncommon issue lol. I did notice now that when I boot into the bootloader on my way to recovery it always starts being stuck in download mode and only after holding down all of the buttons does it allow me to use the volume buttons to select starting up in recovery. The tablet also doesnt want to stay shut off and immediately reboots after powering off. What you said definitely makes sense especially with the two other issues I just mentioned. Definitely wont be the quickest fix and wqs hoping that there would be a quicker remedy but off course will do it if I have to. Are the root and unlock steps similar to the methods of the earlier versions of Jelly Bean? How does one go about manually deleting the bootloader?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBalic:
I think I have a similar problem myself. However, my device wont boot into bootloader. It won't turn on. How would you typically do a full factory image flash if that's the case?

I also got some message when I tried to flash my device saying that it failed to update the partition table, so that matches what you just said.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koopa777:
I'll update this post with a guide for both of you later tonight, as I'm out of town. IBalic, try to press and hold all 3 buttons to attempt to boot into fastboot. If that doesn't work, put it on the charger for awhile then try.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameraddikted:
That would be much appreciated. I was searching around xda earlier and came across a factory 4.3 image thread that also had a seperate bootloader zip file. I'm assuming it wouldn't be that easy but just in case I asked them if there was a way that I could just flash (recovery/fastboot) it to replace the corrupted one.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hey. I saw a similar issue somewhere else, the tablet simply wouldn't boot, the problem was solved leaving it charging for 1h, then unplugging, putting back while trying to power on and leaving overnight charging. Maybe you can try this ;).

To factory reset follow this:

Download and get the factory image, I'd recommend you getting them from http://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images.

Extract it and later I'll update this post with a link to a fastboot/adb environment, that way it'll ease your life, if you want to do this now, extract the zip to your fastboot folder, plug your tablet on bootloader mode and type the following:

flash-all.bat

After that, if worked, you may got it flashed back to stock. If you're with partitions problem, then I'll think a little more and try to solve your problems for you ;).

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gameraddikted:
I appreciate the help. I downloaded the factory image via the link you provided. When you say extracting the zip file to my fastboot folder do you mean my adroid-adb (aka. platform-tools) folder? Should I make a separate folder or just put everything in the root? Just to get the ball rolling I extracted the download to the root of the folder and ran the flash-all.bat command which started but kicked out some errors. I also noticed that the actual image is "zipped" inside the tgz file. Should I extract that as well or leave it be? Thanks
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
As far as I remember the file you downloaded contains a folder with some files, if you feel more convenient copy all the files in the platform-tools to a new folder and copy also the files from the extracted download to this folder as well, then try again. If you don't get again, please send me the error report and the flash-all.bat file ;).

All the best,

I tried both ways just in case. One with the embedded zip file extracted and the other "as is." This is the error I'm receiving although afterwards attempting it seems everything (bootloader, recovery, etc) has been deleted just as the command prompt states but for some reason they weren't replaced by the factory items:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hmm... Let's try doing it manually then. The partitions are already formated so it's all cool. Extract the zip, you'll get a few .img files, copy them all to your fastboot folder, plug you Nexus in bootloader mode then open a cmd there. Type:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantamd3.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot reboot

If this doesn't solve the issue I'll send you a reply later when I arrive home. Thanks for the patience ;)

After updating to 4.1.2, I stupidly uninstalled the Google Calendar Storage from my phone's operating system. Is there a way for me to go back to 4.1.1 or do I need to un-root, and install the stock ROM and start over?

To make matters worse I failed to back-up the phone after the update.

OK, I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004650&page=41 and re-flashed to the ATT stock rooted ROM.

Everything went well, however it is stuck on the Samsung reboot screen and I can't access anything else in the phone or even turn it off, unless I pull the battery, after re-installing the battery it still hangs up on the Samsung screen. I was able to get back into download mode and try the process again with the same results. :( Any ideas? or is it a brick?

Got er back! tried the following;

1. Press and hold: Volume up + center "home" button + power

2. Once you see the Galaxy note 2 logo, let go of power, but KEEP holding Volume up + center "home" button until you boot into the Android system recovery (3e) menu

3. Select "wipe data/factory reset" (press power button to select item and volume to move up and down)

4. Select "wipe cache partition"

5. Once all that is done, select reboot system now.

I know, I know, I know....

My circumstances were special. Had the Cyanogenmod ROM downloaded, phone was already rooted, and the I stepped away for a few weeks because of work.

I knew the process, had read copious amounts of info, never thought to do a second round of research.

Got screwed by what I now know was MF3 OTA update.

With that out of the way, here's the situation:

--------------------------------

My phone still boots into the original S4 start up menus, and then at the final step, crashes with "Unfortunately Settings has stopped." Rinse, repeat.

Won't boot into recovery, but by booting with Volume Down + Menu + Power, I could flask the Stock ROM with Odin.

I'm not sure what you mean by muddled, there is plenty of MF3 info available in the General section in several threads. People have gone out of there way to make sure it is out there. Though I do understand your situation and why you missed it.

My main question to you is...are you saying you were able to ODIN back to MDB, MDL, or MF3 while you were on MF3? Because, so far, that is not possible. There a couple of possible fixes that have helped a few people, but ODIN and Kies firmware flashing isn't available yet. So I'm just trying to get some clarification to what you are saying.
