[One (M8) Accessories] kennonk:
I got mine yesterday. I am going to give it a few days and try it out but my first impression is, not super positive. This should be a $10-$20 accessory at best. I paid $45 on pre-order. But I am going to give it an honest try as I have never used a flipcase before which could be part of my problem.

It feels really nice, the soft touch is smooth and it looks sexy but unless there are a lot of software upgrades coming for it I don't really see the value add, and it certainly does not justify the price.

The one complaint I've seen in this thread that I kind of dipute is the landscape camera use difficulty. There is so much bezel on the top and bottom of this phone I had no issues recording stills and video last night in landscape mode.

Pros:

-Looks pretty classy

-Feels nice to the touch

-Autoscreen off on close is nice since HTC did not include a gesture off

-Swipe down to voice call gesture with case closed seems kind of usful.

-Gimmicky, you can show it to your co-workers and they are generally impressed.

Cons:

-Very little drop protection

-expensive

-no more one handed operation. I have pretty big hands and I tried for 20 mins last night to come up with a way but it is clunky and awkward at best. It is doable with my left hand fairly easily but I am right handed..

-Does not fold back flat which makes one handed use feel weird even after you get the cover opened or when setting phone down on flat surface.

-Only supports a couple HTC apps, if you have the Google edition M8 it pretty much just shows you the time and weather/temp icon. I actually had to flash back to my stock based rom last night as I've been running SinLess and this cover baiscally did nothing on the GPE rom.

-The touch sensitivity seems a little clunky. The double tap to wake without the case works just OK for me usually. But the double tap gesture with this case on seems to be more of a quadruple or more tap as the first time I double taps doesn't usually wake up the display. Coming from the LGG2 this is kind of a bummer as that phone's knock on feature was almost flawless.

All that being said, I am going to use it for at least a week and see if I can get used to it. And I am going to keep it and see if HTC updates the Dot View app in the coming months.
[One (M8) Accessories] skyline23:
Completely agree with your assessment. The price was a big downside to the case. if it was $20, I could live with the shortcomings and just use it on occasion.
[One (M8) Accessories] nunyabiziz:
Agreed ^^^ I paid $25 with my work discount but had to remove my bodyguardz ultra-thin tempered glass screen protector as the flap wouldn't close flat.
[One (M8) Accessories] mozzy:
So the flap on the case doesn't stay open whilst using it one handed?

I don't want to be folding the flap around the back of the phone every time I use it..?
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
Correct. It closes by itself
[One (M8) Accessories] kennonk:
Correct, the flap closes unless you are actively holding it back somehow. Making one handed use, even after you get the flap open, a little more irritating, but I am getting used to it.

Also as an update I implemented some tasker workarounds as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51778845&postcount=34 and the cover notifications are actually pretty usful now. I still wish it supported more apps but at least now whenever my phone is on silent (like im in a meeting) and I receive a notification the screen comes on and I see the cover light up. I actually really like it now. My co-workers are all pretty envious :)

[One (M8) Accessories] CB620:
Had the dot view case for about 45mins before I sold it. Doesn't really serve a purpose to me. Yeah it looks cool but one drop and that thing is toast. I had the grey model btw.
[One (M8) Accessories] shivers316:
It's definitely cool looking, and fun to play with, but it wasn't practical for me. One handed use was impossible for me, and like others have said, it doesn't offer much protection.
[One (M8) Accessories] ryanjsoo:
Does the dotcase still fit if you install a skin onto the back of the phone, I noticed it kind of slides on instead of clipping on, anyone have any kind of experience with this? Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] Kmac_thp:
So these are being price gouged pretty hard on the bay and after reading this thread Im glad I didnt splurge for one. Impossible to use one handed, cover either wont stay open or it wont stay closed and the dot view front part of it collects lint from your pocket? No thanks. Guess its back to looking at the thousands of cases on Amazon.
[One (M8) Accessories] DangerousDave:
Thanks for the link to the tasker work arounds - now have email and SMS notifications show up. I have to say I really don't mind this case. Holding the front cover open does take a bit of getting used to but is not all that bad.
[One (M8) Accessories] Crazypinoy9:
The one thing I don't get is that they integrated an opening for the front camera but how exactly are you supposed to take selfies with the flap closed? :confused:
[One (M8) Accessories] BrianBaker:
The opening is there for the sensors to detect when you have the phone to your face on a call to turn the screen/dots view off..Nothing to do with the camera
[One (M8) Accessories] Learoy1:
If anyone in the uk is selling, i'll buy it off you?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tiann:
I have been considering getting one since I got my phone. At the moment I'm caseless and to be honest, I don't think I'll really use the functionality the for case brings. Nor do I find it very attractive.
[One (M8) Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Any case will make the M8 look less pretty, until the first time you drop it.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tiann:
Maybe I'm just hoping for the best. I've yet to drop my phone. Just got rid of my HTC One I've had since release without a single scratch or bump.

If I drop it, maybe then I'll consider a case to hide the uglyness :)
[One (M8) Accessories] BrianBaker:
im just rocking the Dot View case until Seidio is done making the naked holster clip..I'm sure by the time they finish it i'll be over the cool factor of the dot view case
[One (M8) Accessories] charismatickiller:
Yeah same here, I'm trusting my grip with this case. I just upgraded from my HOX, used caseless without a mark on it since the day it came out. I just fancied a flip case to protect the screen if I decide to put it in my bag, all the complaints I've seen apply to 90% of flip cases I've seen/used.

No one's really given it a chance yet, I think if you give it a month the 'spring' on the cover will dissipate and the easy one handed use will return. Much prefer the rubber screen cover with dot view function and magnet on/off than a screen protector and half body case.

Yeah, it doesn't look as good as a naked phone, but it looks smart and in my opinion ten times better than a generic jelly case most people use.
[One (M8) Accessories] jason-tech-uk:
A very interesting case this Dot view. I remember walking into a local phone dealership and there happened to be a representative from HTC there. He was adamant that I take a look at the Dot view case, and personally it didn't fail to impress me.

I don't think there are that many cases out there for the HTC One M8 that have a sleep/wake function and the feature of being able to answer calls and see other information without ever opening the cover is pretty neat!

However at the price they're selling it at here in the UK I would question whether it is going to be a big hit, especially with the number of companies who will bring out their own branded cases.

Anyone come across cases that have sleep sensors that aren't HTC branded?
[One (M8) Accessories] crj360:
Do Not Dot

I bought the Dot Case with the phone and by the time it took me to drive home it was already making me crazy. As soon as I got home, the case came off the phone and was returned to Verizon immediately the next day.

Pros: Cool looking

Cons: Hard to type - doesn't stay folded back - difficult to take pics - $50
[One (M8) Accessories] iamonfire:
anyone who is not liking his/hers dot case is willing to sell one to me? Need shipping to Belgium... would love a grey one. Prefer to pay by paypal. tnx
[One (M8) Accessories] OdinValknir:
this is a little bit off topic.. but as i have already dismissed the dotview case even without trying it.. (the VZW store had one on their display m8.. and it felt/looked/seemed flimsy and stupid at best... so i went with the Otterbox Defender.. and really like it.. other than the built in screen protector.. there is a tiny gap between it and the phone screen itself.. and allows a bit of dust and such to get in.. annoyingly but the UAG cases have caught my attention even before getting this phone... one thing i want to know though.. I also want to get a tempered glass screen protector for this phone.. you people with the UAG cases.. do y'all think the UAG cases will fit around the tempered glass protectors?
[One (M8) Accessories] dsmpampis:
Hey guys I have a question: is the dot case work with a glass screen protector? I really want to buy it but I have a nillkin glass protector and I don't know if the case close.

Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
It won't close fully. I have the case and same protector. Its just that little bit too thick. It will work, but the flap won't sit fully flush with screen. I swapped the Nillkin out for a MIME Feather which is the thinnest glass protector you can buy currently works OK.
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
9oooooooo
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
I've used mine for a month. After a while of taking photos I got annoyed at holding it. it caught the eyes of strangers, which was cool.

Dropped my phone once, the dot view left a scratch/dent in the black bar on top.

I'm really hoping for a third party to make a slightly more robust dotview.
[One (M8) Accessories] Boot329:
Not to dot.

I bought one and love the idea but there's a problem...

The glass screen protector causes it to not close properly and it can be awkward to hold with one hand.

I don't think I could justify giving up my glass protector for an expensive piece of plastic dots :p

My 2 cents.

Im selling my dot view for 25 interested?

I Rooted my phone and downloaded TWRP from goo manager and now i'm stuck in Odin Mode. Is there any way to reverse this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tri3:
I did the same thing, no recovery whatsoever. Looks like there's no other choice but to reflash the stock firmware again and start all over again. Hopefully get back stock recovery, Cfroot, Philz this time.

I'll report my results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seedeh:
Like whenever you turn it on it goes straight to Odin mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KanineAwe:
Yes when i turn it on it instantly goes to Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seedeh:
Hmmm let me see if I remember this right. Hold power plus volume down and you get the warning screen right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KanineAwe:
When i did that and clicked reboot device the problem was solved thank you very much :D.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seedeh:
Your welcome. Yeah I had the same problem and was about to say to do that! Happy rooting!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KanineAwe:
Can you direct me to a good guide on rooting so i do not run into these issues again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] seedeh:
What is the baseband version and your boot loader is locked, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
What you have experienced is due to the restrictions put by the locked bootloader. If you check the baseband version in settings->about phone, it would end with MF3 or MK2 or NB1.

The firmware with these version have locked bootloader which prevents us from flashing any custom kernel or recovery.

The way to flash custom roms is using a different kind of recovery called Safestrap

There are some restrictions with Safestrap though. With MF3, you have to use safestrap v3.65 and you can only flash 4.2.2 based roms. You can also flash Goople play edition 4.2.2 roms. With google play edition, your PC will not recognize the phone though.

With MK2, you have to use safestrap v3.71 and you can flash 4.3 based Roms. You cannot flash google play edition 4.3 based roms though. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 has lot of useful information for you.

If you are on NB1, you have to follow Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool to downgrade to MK2 first and then install 4.4.2 based Roms.

If you are on MK2, Deadly Venom Kitkat magic tool has a way to install 4.4.2 (Kitkat) roms.

REMOVING THE SIM CARD PRODUCED NO FREEZING, SO I'M HEADING TO AT&T TO GET NEW CARD...WILL REPLY WITH RESULTS

Ever since the 4.4.2 update, my phone freezes to where no touch input is recognized. Phone is TOTALLY unusable. Factory reset fixes temporarily...using different launcher doesn't fix the problem, either. Anybody else having this issue without using a smart cover??? Any fix?? All I'm seeing is guesses, so far. Thank you for any and all help...but so far, I DEFINITELY regret updating to 4.4.2 from 4.3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Nope...NOT the SIM CARD

Will now test out the apps, since it works great after a factory reset....

More to come.

Hey fellas.

Currently working on a ROM Project (yay, right?), and I wanted to see if everything would compile correctly. And, well, it did. So that's pretty chill.

This is literally JUST CM11 with no changes at all. Hence, the 1 day only thing.

Not much else really needs to be said. So, I hope you enjoy it. Perhaps I'll just use this OP as the OP for my ROM Project when that gets finished up.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] MBQ_:

Hahaha I'm just kidding dude. Thanks for your support.

I am going to base it off of CM, because I want to do alot of the adding of stuff myself. I once tried to base a ROM off of AOSP, but it's so much work to get it to where CM has it, and in the end, its just more logical to base it off of CM.

yeah. This ROM is going to (hopefully) be crazy awesome. It is going to of course take a while before its out due to the apps I'm making specifically for the ROM, feature adding, and testing, but hey. At least I know I have a ton of users who are excited about this

It's in the OP :p

[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
My phone has developed a weird issue this evening and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When in landscape if I try to unlock the phone from the Active Display it will not unlock, it will only unlock in portrait. If you have experienced this how did you resolve the issue?
[Moto X Q&A] cw18306:
No issue here.
[Moto X Q&A] jjwatmyself:
If you are rooted and tweaking with any Xposed framework modules, it would be worth backing out any changes you have made. E.g. GravityBox lock screen rotation enabled 'may' have an interaction with active display. Uninstalling something is not the same as backing out a change, but you probably already know that.
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I do have lock screen rotation enabled but from what I can tell it only affects the actual lock screen. I was just messing around with the active display and it seems to be working but there is a pretty wide delay on it. I actually have to hold my finger there for a second before releasing it then it'll open it. This all just started last night too.

Hi! Two days ago, my phone dropped in water :(, i put them immediately in rice until today. When start it with the power button, i felt the vibration and i hear the open sound. But the screen remains black... but i discover that it was just the backlight because when i watch the screen under a lamp i can see the interface and slide between pages... but its very dark. Is it possible to change this backlight? or just wait few other days to allow time to dry fully. I welcome your suggestions! thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
When there's water involved, IT's hard to know exactly what damaged. Could be just stain on the ribbon connectors, a burned fuse/diode/resistor (all of them micro sized) etc.. or just the LCD's backlight damaged entirely.

Keep it on rice for more time. I would make the battery to discharge to 0%, But it's also more recommended to keep the phone OFF. Only my friend LUCK knows.

To change the backlight, the whole screen needs to be changed.

Backlight died on me. Possible moisture.

First, it was on boot loop (on stock rom)

i went to restart it (holding power button and volume down)

then the screen turned bright white, restarted it and then the backlight died, dismantled the phone, now still in rice, also happened on 2nd April.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyhoiler:
exactly same problem here :(

nexus 5 phone dropped in water.

Backlight went out permanently - rice didn´t help.

Can see the display working using a flashlight - so rest of the phone seems to be working ok.

Just pruchased a new screen, put it all in and still the same problem: display works, touch works, backlight is off. :mad:

So it seems the backlight part of the display receives no power - anybody has an idea how to fix that?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palmu:
I have answer to this!

I have had this problem like 3 months now and i finally fixed it.

Basically what i did was that i bought a broken nexus 5 (only the screen glass was broken) and tried to swap every part one by one. The one that was not working was the main dock!

It is a cheap fix, like 10£ on Ebay.

I am writing this post because anyone else haven't.

I hope that someone sees this.

I now copy this message to all other threads so people can fix their nexus 5's :)

Hello! I am having the same problem. The cell phone fell to the floor and the next day the problem began. The display is not broken.

What are you taking about when you say "main dock"? Motherboard aka mainboard?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evertking:
Anyone know why mobile data does not work with some AOSP ROMs and what I can do to fix this problem? I have a ST Galaxy S3.. Mobile data works with some ROMs (CM and AOKP) but not others(beanstalk, Liquid smooth). This phone does not use s sims card and I can't find any APN settings. To get it working with CM and AOKP I have to go to mobile settings and check NV than toggle airplane mode and data picks up. One thing I have noticed with the ROMs where I can NOT get data to work, is that after flashing, when I go to mobile settings to check NV its already checked as where in the other ROMs the sim choice is selected.
