[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magnamagna:
Long story short: I have a nice EVO LTE that is missing the back-top cover. I would just slap a case on it and be jolly, but this cover apparently has antennas in it.

When searching for a replacement on eBay, I found that the prices were either ~$20 OR they were ~$100!! What gives?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...&_nkw=evo+4g+lte+top+cover&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Sooo....does anyone have experience with buying new back covers? Why would the price be so insanely different for the same thing? Anything I should stay away from?

Thanks!

PS - I realize this is a question but it seems more fitting here. Feel free to chase me out with pitchforks and torches.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adonwenas:
U can try aliexpress.com and ask the seller for antenna behind the top cover...

Be sure u have the right product and supplier. Just to be sure cuz its from china...

Fyi the price is right... ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] paul1732:
Do you still get a signal without the cover? Just curious.

You could always keep your eye on eBay for one that has a heavily damaged screen.

Also, did you try calling HTC to see if they sell it as a replacement part?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
The antenna under the cover is for nfc

Replaced the glass on my s4 (home job) thought I was super careful and the display is totally fine, however now there's times when the touchscreen is buggy- some areas wont long press, some wont respond, everything lags a bit, but then sometimes it works fine. Could it be a rom issue or is it my digitizer that I will need to get a complete replacement for?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
Kind.of unrelated but wasn't sure if you guys could help. I want a tablet that has data on it and can't decide between the two. I've.grown tired of Windows and want to start using an Android tab but want data with it. Either.of these, I will buy sim-free unlocked. Use for writing, gaming, and.forwarding texts.from.my Z1. I thought.some.of.you.migjt have both or.some advice?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I had the Xperia Tab Z, it's a great device, the only thing I didn't like about it was the screen resolution, the PPI is simply too low for my liking...

Before getting my Z1, I looked in for the Z Ultra, it's nice as a tablet indeed, but the price is too high to use it for that...

On the other hand, you can get a Nexus 7 with the LTE for half the price of both devices you looked for. Of course, it's not a Sony device, but I grew to like it even more than the Tab Z: same screen resolution, same processor, same RAM, half the price, half the size...

Hope this helps you!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
I'm.not.sure on the size. That's my.issue right now. I have a Tab 2 and I find it too small to do real work on...ppi isn't.somethjng that bothers me.

I'm leaning towards the Tab Z...the Z Ultra would be awkward in my head as it isn't the great size of.the Z1 and.isn't.big.enough for writing?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you don't care about the PPI, go with the Tab Z, even though the hardware is getting a bit "old" compared to the Z Ultra, it still feels fast and fluid. The device is quite light, it will feel normal in your hands.

For typing, you can always get a bluetooth keyboard if you end up writing a lot. I use an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and can type for hours while using a stand for my N7.

BTW, if you get the Tab Z, concider getting the Leather Folio case straight from Sony, it is a great case and it feels quite premium. It also doubles as a stand! :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
I was considering getting a case with a bluetooth keyboard built in. A £50 case from Sony is a bit steep for me! I'm seriously considering.this now. It is this or a padfone and since you have to charge the pad and phone separately for that...well XD

It.is.just a shame you.can't make.phone calls on the Z Tab but messaging.is better than nothing!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't know if you are in a hurry to get your device, but probably you should wait after the CES to get your Tablet as both devices will probably be updated at this time...

If you want to place phone calls from your tablet, do you absolutely need your cell phone number? You can get apps like textplus which allows you to place calls straight from a tablet. Of course you have to pay for each call, but it is an option you should consider if calling straight from your tablet is important, or consider the Z Ultra once again...

Sent from my C6906
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
Well I'm not.sure about phone calls thinking.of it. I can Skype people, and any other VOIP if I need to. There are plenty apps that let you sync texts between phone and tablet, perhaps I'll just do that and use a data plan for.when I need to?

The tablet Z looks like the best option...think I might go.for it :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
Go for it, i did it and have no regrets.

It might be updated soon but the Tab z and the Z1 have strong enough hardware to keep things smooth and fast
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can't go wrong with the Tab Z actually, it all depends on how you want to use it.

Sent from my C6906
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
I think I'm going for the Tablet Z now. All I need to work out now is do I really need LTE or not? It would be nice to have data when I want and need it seeing as SO man times I've thought "damn, I wish I had wifi" and it would be nice to not drain my phone battery? But then how often is it used outside of using a phone like normal?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, for the price diffrence between both variants, go with the LTE one, if you use it a LOT. There's around 50$ between the LTE 16GB and the 32GB Wi-Fi variant. If you don't want to drain your phone battery via Tethering, go with the LTE.

One thing I'm not sure is how great will be battery life while using LTE, as the Wi-Fi variant got me around 5 hours of heavy usage, should you expect around 4 hours on LTE?

Personnally, I would go with the 32GB Wi-Fi as I need the added space and also that the battery life on the Z1 is, in my personnal taste, good enough to support Tethering for a small amount of time (turn it off when you don't need data).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommonTsar:
I just keep thinking I'll regret it. Personally, 16GB is fine, as I'll just pick up another 64gb or 32gb micro-SD card and bobs your uncle, sorted. As for the LTE battery life, I'd probably change it down to 3G for the most part anyway, as that can help save some battery life. 4 hours, tbh, should be enough for me in situations where I *use* the LTE. most the time I should be within a few hours reach of a charger, except for when I've done a Manchester to Glasgow bus root. It's more if I'm out and need to access documents or want to watch Youtube (such as at my grandmothers where Wifi is ABYSML) -I can just get a cheap data package and be like "here are videos." Plus if the wifi goes down...(which it does sometimes).

Idk, it is just nice to read news properly on the train rather than on my phone?

I'd rather have it and not use it, than have it and not need it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
In your case, you better have it, like you said "in case". I think you'll regret it less to get it with the LTE and not use it than getting the Wifi and always be like "God I would like LTE" right now. If you can pay the bonus, go ahead, as I've seen battery life won't be that much of a problem for you.

There isn't one that would work with palm rejection. And don't think it would work otherwise. I have a Cregle Ink and tried it today on the LG 8.3 and it didn't work smooth enough. It's good enough for pointing and clicking but not for writing or drawing. I have an Adonit Script also but didn't try it.

Hello, eversince I flashed my Galaxy Y back to stock after some bootloop problems my phones download speed have been horrible, I downloaded the same file on my laptop and my phone which are both on same WIFI, the phone downloads at like 10-50/kbps and the laptop downloads at steady 1/mbps. Did speedtest on both devices too and they do get the same results, 10mb down 1mb up.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] the X Machine:
OK so

A.the download speed of a smart phone is always slower then the laptops download speed because the laptop wifi is way stronger then the phone wifi unless you have a top end smart phone like a note2

B.if and only if you downloading at the same time don't do it

C.you can try and install some wifi tweaks 3g tweaks you name it no need to flash a rom just a script ;)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Okay, let’s get this out of the way first. These are minimalist cases! They’re meant for people who would prefer going bare back, because the best is nothing at all. Scuffs, scratches, and the last time you looked, things that just shouldn’t be there, no protection can be too risky. Even though that’s what you want.

A hardcase gives you the absolute minimum coverage, so it can be as close to nothing as possible.

They won’t protect well against drops with any substantial height, drunk stumbling Friday nights, Nexus Frisbee, or if your name happens to be Freddy Fumblefingers. Please buy something softer, thicker, rubberier, or with multiple layers, because sir or madam, these cases will not be able to keep up with you.

They will protect well against scrapes, dirty tables, fake bumping into people to say “hello”, or if your better half has long sharp nails and you need a protective shield.

Currently I am using my white Ringke Slim as a baseline for comparison. It’s a great minimalist case. Fits snug and solid, and was exactly what I was looking for. I looked at eBay and saw a bunch of cases for $0.99. I figured, I’ve spent more money on dumber things, let’s take a shot and see how these compare.

I ended up buying 5 cases in 3 different styles. I limited myself to the top end only, the crème de la crème, the $0.99 category. Yes I know, big spender. Each of these cases also included free shipping. I don’t know how, but each one, all in, is literally just under a buck.

*EDIT: Some of you may be worried because you scratched the corners of your Nexus 5/heard people have scratched the corners of their Nexus 5 with hardcases (Ringke Slim, Spigen Ultra Fit, etc.) If you think you might have problems scratching your Nexus 5 taking a hardcase off, watch these video tutorials I've made. And stop worrying! :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2601790

Card Trick:

[YOUTUBE]bom9BWtUKS4[/YOUTUBE]

Properly bending the case over corners (1 at a time): Use the camera cutout with your index finger as the pivot point/fulcrum to make it easier to bend the case out and over the corner.

[YOUTUBE]tlZHPmzADnA[/YOUTUBE]

The only down side to any of the cases I’ve listed, is of course the delivery time. A buck doesn’t get you next day air, it’s in the ballpark of 3 – 4 weeks. If that’s no problem, and you’re a fan of minimalism, consider skipping the big names, and join the $0.99 club!

Here are the rest of the colors for the Quicksand cases:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
I'm deadly afraid of scratching my phone with slim cases. How is the material? Have you gotten any scratches from it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Which one?

I haven't had any issues with scratches with any of them. My phone is still perfect. I also tend to baby my electronics though, and am very careful when putting on/taking them off. I also did swap around all of these cases a bunch of times as well as the Ringke Slim and still have no scratch issues.

In general all of these cases had more flex and were a softer hard plastic (bit of an oxymoron but you get the idea) in comparison to the Ringke Slim which is excessively rigid. I also didn't have any scratch problems with the Ringke Slim though, as some others have mentioned they did.

In any case, these cases are all easier to bend outward and are very smooth. There are no sharp edges on any of them. There's always a risk especially with how soft the side plastic is on the black Nexus 5, but I think if you're very careful you won't have a problem.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
That's great! The blue looks amazing, so i'll probably be ordering a few. They're all 1.68 though, how did you get them for .99?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
All of the links I provided were from the exact seller I used. They all still say $0.99 (USD)

I'm not sure how you're getting $1.68.

Those are links to the Canadian eBay.

*edit: sorry, I did see the $1.68...

I guess on the candy color cases they raised the prices. It was $0.99 when I ordered in November. It still says that price as well until you choose a case. Sorry.

The other ones are still $0.99.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
The cases are all great, thanks for the review and pictures. I ordered 4 of the quicksand ones and that dark royal blue hard case. :good::good::good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
No problem, glad I could help.

Let me know what you think when you eventually get them. I'm sure they ship them by sail boat on calm days.

I definitely agree on your 4 quicksand choices! I think it's just such a good deal.

I bought the blue case for exactly the same reason. The color is just intense. It does suck that they raised the price though. But $1.68 is still dirt cheap in comparison to most cases.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Giroyac:
i was about to make a new thread and say i got a hard case for 3$ locally (toronto) and a bumper case that im in love with.

anyways the hard case like you mentioned was shockingly good, no sharp edges, no left over molds, its nice and smooth

and best part of all its not super hard plastic, you can bend it and its semi flexible sort of .

its the black version of the (solid) blue one you got.

the bumper is also shockingly good for 5$ and its the one im currently using :D

the only question i have is, doesnt the quicksand kind of feel rough on the phone ? since the inside of the case is also the same rough material ? logic tells me that putting it on and taking it will scratch the phone since the case kind of acts like sand paper ? sorry for my ignorance !!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bostyan:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
I hate you man... Last hour or two I've spent on ebay browsing $0.99 covers and clicking 'Buy it now' more often than not. You've got me addicted! :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jonyid:
damn them not delivering to the UK, its a conspiracy i tell you!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Nice, $3 is still pretty good, especially without the wait time. And $5 for a bumper is good too.

After seeing that these $0.99 cases that I figured would be just cheap pieces of garbage were comparable or better (the quicksand for me) than cases 10 - 20x their price; I don't think I'm going to bother with a bigger brand name anymore on any future phone.

The 3 - 4 week wait is worth it when I can buy a variety of different styles of cases and swap them around for the price of 1 Spigen or Ringke. I still think my Ringke Slim is a great case, but I've been spoiled by $0.99 haha.

As for the quicksand texture, don't think of it as a coarse scratching material. Think of it along the lines of 1000 grit smooth sandpaper, but not sand, instead a textured/coated plastic. It's difficult to describe really, but it's not a material that will scrape the phone up. It just adds a nice grip.

Haha, at least it's a cheap addiction! You're not burning a hole in your wallet at $0.99. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] GavinMazey:
Great reviews. Think I'm going to have to pick up a few different quicksand case colors.
