Really unimpressed, overall.

I must say I'm not thrilled with my recent order, shipping time was okay. I do live in Canada, close to the Rob Ford mecha-ville of Toronto and my many Xtreme Guard orders and some DBrand orders usually are here within a week up to about 10 days [only once and bad weather was present]. Slickwraps took a good 12 days, not that this is really a point of contention but, I resell quite a lot of phones and some of my rather assorted clientelle are picky about looks and have varying demands about orders. For these often frustrating customers, I make much more money but, I too, nit-pick for them because they are loyal and always come back when an upgraded device is needed or a repair of some sort is required.

So, back to my review of sorts, I receive my order of 2 LG G2 Full, 1 Nexus 4 Back and an iPad Home Button [I always start off any new order from a company small, in case of upset] I made specific note to include that one of the models of G2 was a D800 and the other a D801, as I know the microphone hole system is different for models. I was told that a short wait would be required to accommodate my needs and that same day my order shipped. Guess they got that layouts in early, I was wrong, not only are both my G2 "wraps" not fit for either of my G2's but, the one is clearly mis-cut at the button resulting in a jagged edge and what looks like a hangnail and for my meticulous customers this is just not what I expected especially after reading the hype in the earlier pages of this thread. On a positive note, though the White Glitter Back I got for the Nexus 4 looks as good or better then the DBrand ones I usually buy. The home button for my custom green iPad looks off and isn't sized perfectly but, for the $4 I paid for it I didn't expect the world and I from afar on average use it looks decent enough.

So future purchasers, just keep my words in mind when purchasing. I'm not here to support one brand over another or dissuade any future purchases just my personal experience with the thread specific brand and their offerings. For further info my purchase was:

1 Glow Blue LG G2 Full Slickwrap [intended for a D800 model, covers the extra microphone :( ] Glow effect is okay, gimmicky, looked better in YouTube reviews.

1 Mahogany Wood LG G2 Full Slickwrap [this was the mis-cut skin I reffered to above, haven't tested it's fit on my D801, yet]

1 Glitter White Nexus 4 Back [no complaints, looks great]

1 Green home button skin for iDevices [looks off slightly]

Hope I helped, I should contact SlickWraps about the above, been really busy but, I'm still disheartened by my overall experience, and being in customer service myself, returns are always a hassle!

Cheers, RedHazy

crocodile skin
[G2 Accessories] noris08:
hello!

i want to share with you my bad experience with slickwraps.

although i bought that myself i strongly advise you guys to look for other options like stickerboy, istyles, exo skin from xgearplanet or even some cheaper skinns from ebay.

i bought the crocodile leather skin from slickwarps and it doesn't look at all as the pictures from the web site. look at the pictures i posted above and make a comparation with the pictures from their web.

more then that, they advertised the package as having also the side wraps but the package they send has been without them. i asked them to send me the missing parts or to refund me but they refused and immediately changed the product description.

i think false advertising is ilegal, but they probably count on the fact that i am from another country and i can't do anything about that. i attached here a print screen with the product description before they changed following my complain

according to my experience with slickwraps i can say this is not a reliable company and if you will have any kind of problem they will not help you, so it is wise to look for other options.

I have tried:

Installing without thicking any of the apps

Installing with various kernels in the end of the installation

Used downgrade so I got back to TWRM 2.4.something, and used youtubeguide again... But the problem remains :(﻿

I already know about the Google "Chrome Releases" webpage right here, so I should have specified that I'm actually looking for something that is...I guess the word I'm looking for is....more "current" and up-to-date with the proper device and extension releases. For example, the newest chromecast firmware update is apparently nowhere to be found...and as far as the Google Cast Extension goes, Google does a pi$$-poor job of updating its Chrome Web Store listing whenever it releases an update to the Cast extension. Actually, I don't think there's ONE SINGLE written description of

ANY

update that the Cast extension has seen. Now I'll give Google props on keeping us updated with a changelog for their Android app. They've done a pretty good job of keeping the "What's new" section of its Play Store listing up-to-date and in-line with the current version of their Chromecast app. Please correct me if I'm wrong though on the extension and the device firmware...

Hi,

I did an unlock for this phone that i found in these forums. I have a generic tmobile sim card and put that in after i got the unlock code. from there i typed in the info and tmobile showed up on the banner.

well, i took the phone to a guy to trade for another, and now he's telling me he isn't getting any data, just phone and texting. of course, he's telling me this long after we made the trade.

is there any reason he wouldn't be getting data? or does an unlocked lg g2 only get edge speeds or something?

any help would be great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niscandia:
My first guess is that he doesn't have the correct APN settings put in for his carrier.

You should let everyone know if the device is a stock rom, or another rom. Since the stock AT&T rom should not have the APN settings for Tmobile, but something like CM's rom should.

Worst case he should just need to enter the APN settings by hand, which isn't too hard to do. Other then that he could be in an area where Tmobile uses different bands for data then the AT&T version supports... that part I don't know how much it effects the AT&T G2, but has effected older devices going between AT&T and Tmobile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoss74:

Google would be your friend in this case, or his actually.

And can't blame them too much, they aren't given all the training that they should be given. They are just sales people, not tech trained most of the time.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I'm having some trouble finding the best place to post it...

I am trying to write a calendar sync app to sync with a third party calendar server. The app will sync with the Android system using CalendarContract. I have the app working and in most cases, it works flawlessly. However, in some cases, it fails and when it does, events from the sync'd calendar completely fail to show up on the standard Google Android calendar app. I haven't been able to find the common link yet as to what causes the failure, but once an event is added that breaks the calendar all events from that calendar fail to show up in the calendar app. I am still able to query the CalendarContract and all events show up in my debug logs as well as in the CalendarDebugger database export, they just don't display on the calendar.

Note that, when using aCalendar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar) the events all display properly, so I believe the issue is in how the Calendar App specifically is querying and/or rendering my events.

Anyone have any ideas where I might start working on troubleshooting? The problem is, the calendar app doesn't provide any debugging feedback whatsoever in the event loading process. I've looked through all of my events on the failing calendar, and there are only 6 and I'm not seeing anything that strikes me as invalid. My server side calendar only produces a JSON feed. So I can look at the JSON feed and the SQLITE.db file that the android calendar app exports, and they both look identical so I'm pretty sure I'm getting through the SyncAdapter stages successfully...

I have tried this on the following devices and have the same issue on all of them:

HTC Rezound (Stock HTC Sense ROM with ICS 4.0.3)

Motorola XOOM (Stock ROM with ICS 4.1.2)

HTC Droid DNA (Stock HTC Sense ROM with JB 4.2.2)

Nexus 7 (1st edition, stock ROM with KK 4.4)

Nexus 10 (Stock ROM with KK 4.4)

As you can see, I am pretty much running the gamut of API levels that support the CalendarContract, so this does not appear to be a device specific, manufacturer specific, or API-level specific problem.

Thank you for your help!!

Hey guys, so Chrome likes to mess around, apparently.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryannn29:
Hello, I'm on a VZW Galaxy S4 running on Hyperdrive 12 on MK2 with Safestrap 3.71 installed. I I have been using Hyperdrive 12 with no problems so far, except a slight annoyance. I discovered that there is a slight audio lag while playing a few games. The lag isn't that bad, there's only about a half second delay before the audio plays. I only barely noticed this lag when I installed Plants vs Zombies 2. At first I though it was only the app that caused it, but then I decided to play my other installed games, Badland and Angry Birds: Star Wars, and noticed the audio delay in those as well.

I thought maybe something went wrong when installing Hyperdrive, so I tested the same games on the Stock Rom but it yielded the same results. There was no audio delay on my friend's version of PvZ 2 on iOS 7, so it is definitely something about my S4 itself. Are there any ideas as to what the problem is? Or is this completely normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
