[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Funny how the 2 Nillkin cases the OP talks about are the exact 2 I bought online.

I bought the white Fresh, and Yellow leather.

Anyway, after having used both, now I know that flip covers, despite the protection it gives, tend to get in the way of general use. Answering calls involve one extra hassle step.

Taking pictures, you have to roll the flip cover up into the triangle as if you are going to use it as a stand and hold it in your left hand, because simply flipping it and folding it over will obstruct the camera.

Nothing wrong with the build quality...I am sure it is better than most cheapos out there. All the useful ports are left uncovered (one of the reasons why I chose Nillkin...there is actual thought process that has gone into the design). If you want to use the magnetic charging port, not many other manufacturers apart from Nillkin make them uncovered.

The yellow I chose is less vibrant in colour (than what it seemed on screen), and does not go so well with the white ZU I have, so that got retired until the day I get SBH-52 and leave my phone in the bag.

For the Nillkin Fresh, I got in white, and am very happy with it, and currently in use.

It has a nice tight fit, seems to be made of good tough plastic, and the texture on the back helps with general grip.

I did make one modification to it, because even though the magnetic charging port is left open by design, it was impossible to get a good connection while the pone was still in the case. So I cut off the thin strip that runs along the screen side of the mag port. Filed it down with nail clipper file, and now it is perfect. It has not lost structural rigidity.

The number of times that i thought that I had closed the USB port properly, but was still slightly open (thus not making it fully waterproof) has prompted me to get the magnetic charging cable. I knew it was something I wanted while I was out choosing the case, so for those who are still looking for cases, I won't say go Nillkin, but make sure you go for one that has the magnetic charging port uncovered.

Whether you buy DK-30 is a different debate. Some like it, but some find it expensive for what it is. There are not many covers out there tat allow you to dock with it on.

But the USB magnetic charging cable is something I believe every ZU owner should have. For that reason get a cover with the port uncovered.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] liqn7:
Can we please get pictures of this modification? Keen to replicate. Otherwise attractive looking case, be a shame to waste.

Here u go
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toonhead85:
I came back to post a quick update about the case I got and this caught my eye... actually the build quality is the reason as well!!

The case is broken ><. On the top left hand side (near the charging port) the case has snapped. A piece is broken clean off and only after about 2 weeks. I know the case was $10, but I also had build quality issues with a Nexus 4 case, so I am going to say the quality is rather low.

With this new information, I am going to say stay away from this case. The long import time (from HK to US), and poor quality aren't worth it. Spend the few extra bucks and get a quality case you will have for more than a few weeks.

Just my 2 cents though...

[HTC Sensation XL] adriano_val:
Hi guys,

I tried to install the Rom[Cyanogenmod10.1(M3)][v1.4.0][Linaro], I have tried both version 1.3.5 and 1.4.0, but with both the phone does not recognize the sim card. I can not access to the contacts in the sim. Everything else is ok and the ROM works great.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] adriano_val:
Guys, nobody can help me?:crying:
[HTC Sensation XL] adriano_val:
ok, I found that this is not a bug, it's just that the CM10 does not read contacts from sim. it is a fact.

I solved it by first making a backup of contacts on sd.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultradj83:
Dears,

anytime I want to use GPS I need to switch it OFF and ON from notification bar, otherwise it doesn't work.

It's enough to open Maps to experience the issue: no GPS notification is shown on the bar, but after switching OFF and ON it loads position within a few seconds.

This is for sure a firmware issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards

I followed the instruct very carefully, however after successfully flashed the Radio, and I restart my s110. It didn't find the Radio!!!!! Then, I tried to flash back my old Rom, but the screen shows "sections = 1! upgrade not allowed". Now, I cannot use it anymore, and I cannot flash back to the old rom.

What can I do to save my baby????

Please help me. thanks.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
Hello guys, so after a year of life my Xperia Play seems to have problems.

Here a video:

http://tinypic.com/r/2iikbrp/5

I guess it is the flex cable, but I dunno if it does this because it is starting damaging, or because it looses contact (and maybe doesn't need a replace, but just a look into where it looses contact and thus I should apply there something that keeps it in place).

What do you think guys?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Few other users reported same problem, and it was flex cable fault.

You better get another flex slider cable before it totally looses contact (and thus can be replaced in hour or two, if you know how)

If you don't know how to replace, ask around where you can repair it, so it doesn't suprise you when fail completelly
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
I'm searching for a new flex cable right now, but, well, I live in Italy, where it's impossible to get even a cover :P

I'll try to order something from the States or UK, but yeah, it'd take something like 20 days :P

I hope I get it fixed, i love this phone D:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I was lucky when my flex cable broke (only touchscreen didn't work) and replacement came two days later (found some online shop localy)

Just be gentle to your Play in next 20 days :)

Btw, any repair shop around you, or is it too expensive?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
Well nothing for smartphone :/

But I guess I can do it on my own

I just found something on ebay for € 6, from UK, I think it's worth it :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Yeah, it shouldn't be more then 10-15 euros, just get torex screwdrivers and be patient

Lol [MENTION=4053663]Bakisha[/MENTION] now my phone won't record anything with the rear camera, but it shoots photos whithout any problem :confused:

Do you know if this happens because of the flex cable too?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Rear camera is attached motherboard on it's own flex cable. Did you take it off when opening your Play? If yes, then probably you didn't put it back properly. Or maybe it missplaced.

Try opening again (just motherboard part and see is flex from camera is loose or something
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
Nope, i've not yet opened my play, that's why I'm worried :/

Basically, whenever I click on the record button, camera app fc's

I'll logcat to see what could be :/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Unless you drop your Play hard, it should work normally. If it's taking picture normally, maybe it's software problem.

On what rom and kernel you are now? Maybe, to test, make backup and flash stock ftf, to see is it sofware problem (i think i don't need to explain to you how to do that :p )
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriGiu:
Lol I've just "logcatted" and so I saw an error regarding framerates.

Then I remembered what I've done something like a week ago: modified the media_profiles file located into system/etc for trying to record at 60fps LOL

Such a stupid problem, sorry Bakisha xD
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
lol

No problem :)

When xou open your Play you'll se that flex is connected to screen, digitizer, front buttons, front camera, ALS and proximity sensor so all problems regarding those could Be actually flex problem.

Feel free to ask if you need help when you decide to open your Play.

Good luck :)

[One (M7) Accessories] theNard:
Hey all,

I've owned the Ballistic SG case for my One X for 16 months now, and I love it. It's insanely rugged and I love how it bounces when dropped instead of all of the impact being absorbed into the phone.

Now I'm moving onto the HTC One and I'm stuck - do I stay with Ballistic? Or do I move on to a new brand?

DURABILITY is definitely the most important feature to me as I'm ridiculously paranoid after having broken several screens - specifically having a big lip on the front side of the case makes me feel a lot better about my phone's safety. I don't care about holsters, and looks don't really matter all that much to me but it wouldn't hurt for the case to also look badass (like the UAG cases...super sexy).

Help a dude out. I'm in the realm of deciding between the Otterbox Defender vs. Ballistic SG, but if you think a case like the UAG Navigator (or your favorite case) will withstand drops from 5 feet please let me know.

THANKS

[One (M7) Accessories] ingenious247:
If you need absolute full coverage, then you need something like the Otterbox Defender. However, I have a few cases, one of them being the Speck CandyShell Grip - I dropped my phone from about four feet high on to granite tile, it literally bounced up about 6-7 inches, did a couple of rotations, then landed face down after another small bounce. Picked it up, not a scratch - not even on the case! Speck makes an excellent product. Check it out. I have the white one

Ballistic Max and Mime glass is my protection for the ONE. Feel pretty confident that the combo will handle most mishaps while looking a lot better than the Defender.
[One (M7) Accessories] EPayne123:
For durability and ruggedness I would say for peace of mind something like a dual layer Incipio Dual Pro, Trident Kraken or Aegis and even an Otterbox Commuter or Defender. Now if you are completely content with the UAG case durability and protection in which you should be because I swear by them also then get UAG because they have great cosmetics alongside being the best IMO for ruggedness and durability for a one piece snap on

* Flash the stock ROM - firmware using Flashtool.

I have a Linksys E2000 router. For some reason my new Nexus 7 times out, lags out, or fails to connect when doing basic things like browsing with Chrome, Google+, or the Play Store. I don't want to say that this only occurs with Google apps but they are what I primarily use on my tablet. This happens often enough to be extremely bothersome and I don't know what I should do. I have port forwarding enabled on my router for use with Plex on my PS3 but I don't see how that could only be effecting my Nexus 7 negatively and no other devices.
