The universal is a clamshell device. It does not need a case. I just close it an pop it in my pants pocket. That way its smaller than my old device, the Loox 720, in its thin slip case.

Try it for a few days without a case. You will be amazed.

I carry my Universal in my hands very carefully like a priest would his bible.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] richardlai:
When I wear a belt, I put my V1640 in its Proporta case and attach it to my belt clip on my belt.

If I don't wear a belt, I put the V1640 in its original leather case and then in my pocket. I might do what surur does though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cktlcmd:
If I just go for a simple walk, I carry it on a padded belt pouch. If I am at the gym, I carry it using a semi-hard case made for the NINTENDO DS which I bought for $2.95 at Radio Shack.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BlackICE:
I would not recommend to put any Pocketpc in the pockets of your trousers. All devices are made of plastic, which is bending. Because of this, the device will bend when you move and after some time (approx. 4-6 months) it will produce errors, which are hardware related.

I bought an universal leather belt case from pielframa, which is perfect for the universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ZaForD:
I got my Universal as a replacement for a Ipaq H5550, and i've found the old leather case for the Ipaq is almost perfect for the Universal. [Even with extended battery] The leather is better quaility and has more padding than the Universals case, yet it doesn't fell bulky, plus it also has a bulit-in belt clip and SD card holder.

I have to remove the Universal from the case to use it [no BT headset yet], but I had to do that with the Ipaq. So thats not a problem for me. :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] HeartOfDarkness:
LOL Excellent !

I personnaly use a Krussel case, and I especially like the keyboard cover that protects my beloved Universal when I surf AND eat Nutella... :-)

The Universal is either at my belt (at the crook of my back when I wear a suit, it is practically invisible), or in my case, since I have my tiny Jabra BT-800 in my pocket to answer calls...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] kdskamal:
I too carry it in my hands. Girls of my college look impressed too !! :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] richardlai:
And I bet the girls say "Wow! That's huge" to you, too. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cmonex:
where did you buy the krussel case with keyboard cover? can you fully close the universal with it? i saw a brando case with keyboard protection but the cover was too thick and it wouldn't close fully when i triedit...

thanks! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] HeartOfDarkness:
Hi there

Yes, I can fully close the Universal as the plastic cover, while being astoninshingly strong and resilient, is thinner than the pads on the lower corners of the keyboard. It doesn't get scratched either, it fits almost perfectly the shape of the Universal and almost nothing manages to slip under it. Finally, it doesn't change the "feel" of the Universal's keys, so the keyboard still is very fast to use, and still feels as good as when it is naked.

All in all a great case, the only way to improve it IMHO would have been to make it a two-pieces, independant set, with one for the keyboard base and the other for the swivel screen, but the downside to that would have been that the Uni would have received much less protection. So I'm very satisfied with it, especially when I see how cheap it is compared to Covertec / Noreve stuff.

One last thing to say is that it is also surprisingly durable: leather is still in prime shape, there are no deformations whatsoever, even though I've used it 24/7 for the past 6 months.

I saw the Brando you're refering to, I think, and I exactly know what you mean. No such thing with the Krussel.

I personnally bought it from a french web-shop called Kabiloo (excellent service, I'd recommend: www.kabiloo.com), for 25 €. But I saw it on many other european web-shops, such as expansys: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127398 . I didn't find any hungarian resellers though...

HTH
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cmonex:
hi, this sounds great!!

i checked out the links. isn't this krusell the same as here: http://www.addonsworld.co.uk/product.php/28415/3340/

i've actually been considering the addonsworld one, but had no idea it included the keyboard cover! :)

so do you think it is the same? i'm going to order this from there then, they will ship here.. and expansys says not in stock.. (availability 7 days.. sure.. i don't trust expansys :D )

thanks again, you helped a lot :D i was really uncomfortable not being able to decide which case to get.. but i liked the krusell one the best even before reading your post. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] HeartOfDarkness:
Hehe, yep, that's te one I was indeed talking about. :-)

It's probably not as "classy" as a NoReve, for sure, but it clearly is IMHO the most practical, with the best quality / price, I've seen around. :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cmonex:
hehe, cool, thanks, i've ordered it immediately. hope i can tell about my experiences soon!

i didn't like the noreve one so much... it looked ok but not so practical for my usage. :) still, better than the pdair stuff. :) except for their metal case (at pdair), i've seen the metal version just today, and it looks excellent, my only complaint was its huge size. :( (and no keyboard protection..) other than that it is indeed very usable and feels robust. so its biggest advantage is that you don't have to be afraid of dropping your 1000EUR universal :) but i just found it too big.. so there's hoping the krusell will fit my needs perfectly :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] HeartOfDarkness:
Nice move. :-) For its price, it's a bargain, IMHO. You won't regret. :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cmonex:
yeah i buy stuff on the spur of the moment :) (same for the qtek 9000 itself :wink: ) hope you'll prove right. 8)

A word of WARNING

Hi,

here is a real nightmare story.....with a happy ending. I bought a Sony Ericsson P900 and loved the belt pouch that came with it.It clipped onto my belt and it was great.

Then the day after I paid over 600 euro for my phone I went into a supermarket for a browse around and proceeded to look at some boots which were on display in large metal creels. I had to lean over the side to pick up some for a closer look.

Later as I left the store something which had registered in my subconscious finally made it to the conscious and I reached for my phone........it was not there. I freaked. I retraced my steps in the store frantically looking for the phone, but no joy it was gone.

I borrowed someone elses phone and tried ringing it but the background noise was high and and I could not hear it.Ater an hour searching I gave up and left the store....devistated.

When I git to the car I just had to go back and take one last look, by now an hour had passed and the store was very busy. I went back to where the boots were and started looking through them again......and BINGO, there it was. I put the phone in my pocket for the journey home.

DONT USE A CASE THAT CLIPS ONTO YOUR BELT......GET ONE THAT HAS A PERMANENT BELT LOOP SO THAT IT CAN ONLY BE TAKEN OFF BY OPENING THE BELT BUCKEL. I got away with it, but it could have been a very costly lesson.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] prestonmcafee:
Shirt pocket

I like my phone in my shirt pocket. That way I can get to it easily, and put it back, and even hear it ring. No falling off my belt, no getting caught on things I'm walking by (I get my pockets caught on things occasionally; a phone sticking out is out of the question), no having it fall off into a boot, no crushing it in jeans pockets. This has a really big downside - it falls out any time I bend over and if I ever have to run I have to hold it in my pocket.

With my previous phone, a Treo, I bought egrips and those held it securely in a pocket. But egrips won't stick to an MDA, it is too slick. They come off after a few weeks of use.

So I attached a neck strap from a sandisk USB flash drive and put that around my neck. This saved it from falling into an aquarium just today. I can use the phone well, it is long enough. Occasionally it gets wrapped in the shoulder harness. It looks dorky, my wife thinks. Wait until she sees the Hello Kitty neck strap I've been eyeing.

Why does a USB flash drive come with a neck strap, anyway? Who wears a USB flash drive around their neck? And when will someone build a USB drive that fits in my wallet? The Cruzer almost does, but not quite.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] HeartOfDarkness:
Re: A word of WARNING

Heh, thanks for the warning ! Good to know you retrieved it. Although we Universal users are by and large probably imune to such a predicament: our Uni's so bulky that if it's not on our belt anymore, it will instantly register, and not only subconsciously. :-)

But it indeed happened to me a couple of times, that's true, that the belt clip opens when I bent over or squatted, if the Uni was on the front of my waist. So now, when I do squat, I usually slide the Uni to the side, on the hip.

Just a matter of habit. :-)

Re: Shirt pocket

You'd have to have quite a wallet -- the kind that can hold a banana -- to put that drive in it, at 6mm thick. I tried 6mm of business cards and couldn't even close my wallet.

Heh... try losing your smartphone in a strippers club. I had to run back and ended up finding it under the armchair I was sitting in. Of course, I had to wait for the stripper to end her dance with the patron now sitting in the chair before poking around underneath it.

:oops:

Currently, I'm using a beautiful leather case I used years ago for my old Casio E105. It works well but the cutouts are all wrong so I'm looking at getting soemthing else.

Cheers!

BTW, I don't usually go to these kind of 'spots'. I went for a friend's stag party. I would rather go to local meet of cellphone afficionados.

Carry my universal naked but put inside my trusty old camera pouch with micro fibre interior when not in use. Of course the camera pouch interior is of micro fibre thus impossible to scratch it no matter how u put. Now still looks like new. Also do some modify to my set to prevent the famous "button scratch the surface problem". :P

btw my krusell case still hasn't arrived... :( so still carrying it in that siemens SX45 case (the one for that old pdaphone with ppc2000), that i have to remove it from when i want to use it. :) but other than that it works well... hope the krusell arrives soon..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dark_flan:
Add some soft sponge(removable) at several locations to heighten the device from crashing for interior and exterior. Preferably 2 at each exterior and interior also place at each corner to prevent excessive strain on the hinges. In fact I find this modification quite good looking even though it being done by my own hands and talking abt cheap to do. This techniques works very well for me and for people that prefer to leave it as naked looks rather than covering up.

i ware combat type trousers and put mine in its original case in leg pocket im a mechanic and so far its remained safe
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] skywriter:
when i dropped by uni the other day it was from less than 3 feet, and it hit a rug. no external dents or damage. no internal failures. but the jar loosened the screen swivel up. the metal plate the anchors it the the KB case was slightly bent from the impact due the to weight of the screen. i had to remove the screen and bend the plate back (and a little more). not sure what type of case is going to protect from this since it takes only a small deflection to do it. and it doesn't have to hit the screen corner.

btw i dropped it as i was trying to slide it into the hip holster :( and missed.

i guess the only positive thing was that i NEVER drop a pda more than once. this one made it with no lasting damage. although i spent many hours bummed out before i figured out how to fix it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cmonex:
i finally received the krusell case :)

i think it is nice, though it is such a tight fit that it took 5 mins for me to get it on the qtek 9000 for the first time.. :) as i use two batteries, i'm glad that second time it was much faster and easier.

but i still cannot manage to fit it perfectly :roll: it is OK though.

all in all.. the keyboard protector is cool :) but the case doesn't cover the sides very well :? this is the only real problem with it for me :wink: looks like i will keep it though as it really gives some extra protection while using it. but when not in use, the siemens sx45 case gave much better protection IMO. (that one is open only at one side and the qtek 9000 can be slid in quite deeply so it will be protected fully. my problem with it was that i wanted something i can have on the pda while using it)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Ferret-Simpson:
Oh, I wish my Wristwatch had bluetooth. . .

you guys are silly

ok you guys r so silly ur spending like what 50 bucks or more for these cases that make it look like u guys got those huge walkmens back in the day

ok this is what i did to my phone.

first i mesured where on the battery pack i wanted to put the belt clip stub.

i then traced the outline and cutt with my excto knife. i cemented the the stub on the the battery. the battery actually holds on very strong. especially when u use the battery lock at the bottom. its very secure. then i just put the outer cover back on. yess it wont protect ur phone from scratches. but the metal housing actully protest the phone pretty well . when i decide to sell this device all i got to do is buy a new housing on the net wich goes for around 100.

bingo no large case, and u get a belt clip thats secure
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbyersak1015:
So i had posted before that I was having issues with my Google services. I was unable to get into Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, anything that goes through a Google server. I tried wiping everything, force stopping, clearing cache, all the basic fixes. It worked again after I would flash a new ROM for a while. Nobody could figure it out. Samsung was stumped, AT&T was stumped, and a few guys on here were stumped. AT&T sent me a new phone and things were working great. Rooted, ROMd, everything. Went about using my phone as normal. Then, a couple days ago, the same thing started to happen.

A thought popped into my head today. On all ROMs I tried to use I always installed Freedom for free in-app purchases. I also installed it on this phone, but only on the custom ROM. I have been using the stock ROM perfectly. I went into Freedom and stopped it properly by pulling up the settings menu and hitting Stop. Then I uninstalled it. Straight away I went to Play Store and I had access again. Same for Gmail.

So my assumption is that Freedom caused the issue. It took a while because I havn't used Freedom in a month or so and the issue just started happening. However, once I removed it properly everything worked fine. When I wiped my old phone I never removed Freedom so i'm not sure if that messed something up that a basic factory reset couldn't fix. The other reason this is an assumption is because I was not able to test this on my old phone. But I figured I would let you guys know. If you have issues with Google services and have Freedom installed, try uninstalling it. But first, MAKE SURE YOU STOP IT FROM THE IN APP SETTINGS!

Have manually updated my HTC ONE M7 to FW 4.19.401.11 following these steps from the thread here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823...

1. Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)

2. Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)

3. Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip

4. Open command prompt

5. Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)

6. Connect device to the PC

7. In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location

8. Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)

9. Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)

10. Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

11. Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

12. Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

13. Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

14. Type: fastboot reboot

15. Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

But now the phone doesnt appear to boot im able to get into bootloader by holding down the volume button, any ideas why i cant boot into the HTC ONE do i need to re unlock the boot loader? If so how do you re unlock the boot loader after relocking it please?

EDIT: Im guess the phone doesnt boot as i need to flash a custom ROM??....if so do i have to re unlock the bootloader first?

1- Why did you relocked your bootloader?

2- ''HTC Bootloader Unlock Application'' doesn't say much. I guess you are referring to a toolkit which is not recommended to use

3- Why can't you unlock again? Get your identifier token from fastboot en send it to htcdev. Then flash your unlock code bin file to unlock your phone again. Then youll be able to flash a recovery and a rom...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
not sure what you are trying to say here mate.

your phone doesn't need to be unlocked to be able to ''connect it'' to your pc. You should be able to use fastboot from bootloader to

1- get your identifier token

2- flash the unlock_code.bin to unlock it again

if you can't 'communicate with the phone using fastboot in bootloader, your drivers are not installed correctly on your computer.

in windows device manager, it should be listed as ''My HTC'' if your drivers are ok.
