With screen fractures being rampant due to the screen going right to the edge of the phone, a case of some kind is a must.

I need a bumper that doesn't look atrocious, I rather not use a case or bumper and take the risk than to use an ugly one and ruin the look of this phone. I'm still waiting for a quality brand of tempered glass screen protector too. Hoping one from Nilkin or Monoy will become available.

For now I ordered the Xtremeguard screen protectors and will use it temporarily for the front and protect the back.
[X 2014 Accessories] hc3po:
I'm not going to use a bumper or a screen protector. I don't get the idea of buying such a beautifully crafted and designed device to put it in a 5$ plastic bumper afterwards :D So i try to handle it with care and just pray i won't drop it :)
[X 2014 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I think the X is way too nice to keep it inside a case all the time, so I generally keep it naked. That said, I do have a Diztronix TPU case for when I absolutely need one. Diztronic makes the only TPU cases worth owning, IMO.

FYI it is pretty frowned upon here to ask for thanks. People here are well aware of the thanks button and they'll press it when they feel it's deserved. Just a friendly head's up :)
[X 2014 Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
No case when daily driving, but I will grab something for when running, biking, otherwise working out.
[X 2014 Accessories] bmwh0r3:
I've tried the hula bumper and two snap on cases from Verizon. Now trying the otterbox defender. So far only the hula bumper is the one I like. Its the closest to naked with slight protection. Advice for now is to avoid the Verizon tempered glass screen protector. Due to the screen's edges curve, it doesn't matter how much center you try or they do, it just fails.
[X 2014 Accessories] gotzaDroid:
No. I never use cases. They kind of seem to defeat the point of the phone's design. And I'm very careful with my phones.

Go naked or go home is my Moto (no pun intended!)

Same here.

I did buy moto care just to be safe.
[X 2014 Accessories] MichaelVeringo:
I scraped the top right corner of my X on a wood table and there are literally no marks on the metal casing. Very impressed. My old iPhone 5s seemed to scratch pretty easily on the corners of the aluminum. Due to the fact that there are very few cases available at this point, and I'm extremely careful with my devices I will not put a case on this phone. Plus it just feels too damn good in the hand naked. :p
[X 2014 Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
I picked up a couple of cases since I had extra Rakuten points. First, the X (2014) is almost identical size to the S5, so the S5 holsters work well. I got this one until I find something better. It looks to be designed to use a TPU type case inside - there is plenty of extra room to add thickness, but the height and width is perfect:

http://www.rakuten.com/prod/eforcit...-case-w-clip-for/263150357.html?sku=263150357

Also, I got a frosted-back TPU case. It is OK, but missing the hole for the upper microphone on the back. I'm not sure if this will be a problem yet. I will drill a hole if it is an issue. It is a frosted clear, and you can somewhat see the back through it. This is definitely a temporary for me until there are more options, but the price was right.

Hope this is helpful to somebody. I will be mostly going case-free, but need one for the bike jersey pocket.
[X 2014 Accessories] ssick92:
You lie, that pun definitely WAS intended, you even capitalized it and everything ;)

Anyway, I agree though, I never use cases. Just be careful with the phone and I bought the Accidental Damage Plan or whatever they call it just in case something does happen...
[X 2014 Accessories] Shadowdancer123:
I had a case on my HTC One M7, and that's the first time I've ever used a case.

It had a card slot, and the glass on the htc got irreparable damage from the plastic chafing at the glass, leaving an ugly line where the lipophobic treatment worn down.

And that is also the first phone I've ever cracked the glass on, it fell face down, with the weight of the cards and case smacking it a second time after it landed... I don't think it cracked from the first thud.

After replacing the screen, I got a case with a recessed card slot, and fluffy inside texture. So a grain of sand stuck and made a little circle scratch on the glass instead...

Arguably that's also the first time I've ever worn down a button, the power and volume button was nearly dead after 12 months... The lack of water phobic treatments were getting obvious too, with reduced wifi and gsm signal.

HTC just doesn't have the materials experience the Moto team does, so I guess that's why.

If you remember back in the day, even their early flip phones were made out of magnesium and other metals or composites.

So back on topic, no, I'm not getting a case again. =)

I hate screen protectors with a passion, so that's not gonna happen. I'd rather have the odd tiny scratch than a permanently ugly front =)
[X 2014 Accessories] lizaSB:
I never had a case for my gnex and even though I'm pretty careful with my phones, a few unfortunate accidents happened to my phone. First time I dropped it, just took a chunk out of the bezel. No big deal. +1 for the gnex. Had it been an iphone screen would've shattered for sure. Second time a heavy ceramic mug fell off a shelf onto it and caused it to crack a bit. Started rethinking my bias against cases at that point. I dropped it a few more times after that because I stopped caring and managed to get a couple more cracks in.

Anyway, bought the X and begrudgingly bought the Hula Bumper because I need slimline (the X feels so nice naked!). Have used it with an without, though if I'm going out I usually keep it on. Makes it slightly uncomfortably large to use (I have medium sized hands and the device is perfect without anything) but the center of gravity is also off and I feel like I'm more likely to drop it without the bumper on. The case also helps reduce slipperiness which is a benefit.

Anyway, was changing in a locker room and my stuff was in the upper locker. Set my phone in my coat and things while I changed. Forgot where my phone was in my coat... Pulled out my coat and the phone lands on the floor, top corner down. Bumper +1! Everything is great. I also like the fact that the bumper provides a bit of a lip around the screen, so in the event that the device falls flat on it's face, it's less likely to actually connect with the screen, unless the pavement is uneven.

TL;DR -- Bumper makes the phone just too large to be comfortable in my hands, but if you're looking for slim protection, I would recommend it. Has already saved my phone's bacon without scratch versus a cement floor after falling 3.5 feet.

Have scratched the screen

I've had a HTC One S for over two years - had a silicone case on it for a while but for the past ~12 months I've been carrying it naked (I am extremely careful, rarely dropped it), only had one or two minor scratches on the screen.

Fast forward to today, having had my Moto X for about a month - I absolutely LOVE the feel of the thing. I figured I'd carry it naked like my One S, to show off the ebony back. Again, I am EXTREMELY careful with my phones, I brush out my pockets every time I put the phone in in case any sand or dust has accumulated in there as I am paranoid about scratching the screen!

However, this morning i was examining the screen, and i noticed several small scratches in various places around it, and one fairly substantial scratch near the bottom speaker. I immediately ordered the IVoler tempered glass screen protector (the only one listed on Amazon UK as of this morning).

So a word of warning - it seems that no matter how careful you are with your phone, the risk of scratching thr screen is still quite high!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mattlikesbikes:
Bought it right when it came out August 2012. Really pretty light usage over the years. Took it on a trip, came home and it just sat, mostly dead battery. I assume the battery died 100% over the two weeks that I didn't touch it. Last week I went to charge it to use and it just vibrated. I got it to stop by holding power for 10 seconds. Orange light on charging. A day later I have a green light but when I go to turn on it just vibrates. quick pulse then full vibrate until the battery dies.

I called Asus who had me try a soft reset with no luck (Thanks!). They promptly told me it would need a new mainboard and that they would be happy to look at an estimated $203 for the repair. $203 to repair what was a $500 tablet 2 years ago.

So is there any suggestions? somebody else that could repair it? Other tricks? Hard reset?

I can turn off the vibrating but then nothing.

Help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have seen this problem about a half dozen times in the forums. The lucky ones were able to get it back by letting the battery drain completely (let it vibrate until it runs out of juice), then trickle charge it via USB cable from a PC. Make sure the PC doesn't go to sleep since this will charge at only 2% per hour or so. Leave it to trickle charge overnight and try to boot it.

The charging indicator will NOT light up when you trickle charge.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] mattlikesbikes:
Well I set it to vibrate itself to oblivion this morning. Hopefully tonight it will be dead and I can start the trickle charge.

While the light might not come on, is there a way to tell it is charging? In the current state nothing shows up on my W8 laptop to say the device is connected. Is there a driver I should preinstall?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Nope - you won't seea thing, but trust me it does charge slowly.

You have to be booted into something for Windows to recognize your tablet: recovery, fastboot or Android. As long as it does not boot at all, there's really no point in installing drivers...

You said, Asus had you try a soft reset. I assume that means you tried booting into the bootloader menu with Volume Down and Power but could not get there, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mattlikesbikes:
That's right. holding power and Vdown did nothing. 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds. Though holding them does sometime get it to stop vibrating.

Hey anyone is there a slim rom that can go on my galaxy exhibit t599n?

Thanks for any help
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harerton:
Hi everybody,

My Xperia TL only connects to the 2G network. When I do a service providers search, it finds my carrier 3G network (and also other carriers) but it fails to register on it. I only get service when I choose the option to only use 2G.

I tested my SIM card with another phone and there was no problem. I tested a different SIM on my phone and the problem persisted. I tried turning airplane mode on and off, forced a reboot, did a factory reset, but the problem is still there.

I purchased this phone in the US but I live in Brazil. My carrier LTE frequency is different from AT&T, so the fastest I can go is 3G. I have been using this phone for more than 1 year without problems.

Is there anything that can be done?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kertis:
Hi, I have exacly the same problem. I searched for a solution with no success. I even tried to reconect antena inside. Now i'm tring to unlock the bootloader to use custom firmware. If it fails, that will be information, that it is rather hardware than software problem (but it is strange - EDGE over GSM works fine).

kertis
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Here's all you need to know about hardware specifications:

The international model is LT30p.

You've got a LT30at and, as you can see, 900-1700 bands are missing.

Check which ones your network operator works with.

Keep in mind that you can't change or add these bands, because they're specific of your hardware!

Check all your country operators, maybe you can find a solution. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kertis:
Mine is LT30p, so should support all bands (at least if shows that info). I bought it from Singapure, and it could be a fake, because I have a problem with unlocking bootloader using code from Sony. Flashing with original Sony firmware works, also OTA updates. Strange.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harerton:
That's exactly where my carrier operates. As I said, I've been using this phone for more than a year, without problems. I fear I have a hardware problem...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ArtDC:
I would flash a baseband only for the same version LT30a. You'd get more bands, and, hopefully, a fix, it it's something baseband related.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kertis:
I already did:

Unlock all bands of your Qualcom//xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269

so I'm sure that all bands required are enabled. But still can't get signal for WCDMA (or LTE) . In my case it could be or APN related or hardware failure. Now I'm trying to figure out where xperia stores working APN configuration.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ArtDC:
Settings, More,Mobile networks, Access Point Names.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
This issue is not APN related.

A missing or wrong APN doesn't allow data transfer

only

. In fact, in this case you can have signal and make calls or send/receive SMS.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kertis:
So it must be hardware. I found something strange. I was examining anthenna conenctions, and I found tha I do not have one connector (marked on photo). Now I'm searching what type of anthenna is on the top of the cover.

Does anybody know what roms go on the Galaxy exhibit t599n?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kevin.jiang:
This problem has happened to me a few times with different ROMs but I haven't be able to find the pattern nor the solution!

Basically everything starts very well, when I install a new program it appears in "Add/Remove Programs" in Settings. Then at some point strange thing happens, when I install a new program (any program, not specific) it no longer appears on the list! However, I can see it as installed and it actually appears on the "Add/Remove Programs" of ActiveSync(v4.2)! I can remove it by using ActiveSync but not on the device because I can't select it!

And the other strange thing is, I can see the program's folder under "\Windows\AppMgr\" (every program installed manually should has its folder in here as I understand). And I can also see it under the registry "\HKLM\Security\AppInstall\". It just DOES NOT appear on the device "Add/Remove Programs" list! This happens to all programs after the problem starts but those installed before that point are still displayed!

I am wondering if anyone knows the reason why this happens and if there is any solution like registry hack anything like? Although this is not the end of the day as I can still remove them via ActiveSync, it does annoys me because of the fact that I can't remove it directly from the device.

Thanks in advance!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabangus:
Hi,

I have the same problem, not certain what caused it, but you can get items back in the list by following the steps below:

Get programs back into uninstall list:

1) go to..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall\

2) Select the application directory that is not showing up in the list

3) Change the DWORD Role data from 40 to 24

4) Now the application will show up in the list.

Cheers

I will try Rowan's suggest first because it is easier and sounds good to me! Only thing is I have flashed my Universal so currently the problem is gone. I will try it if it happens again or I may try it on my Windows Mobile Device Emulator later on.

This is the "What is the Best or Favorite ROM or Kernel" Roll Up Thread.

It has been decided recently after much debate that creating comparison threads can have the potential to be useful and informative for the members of this website.

So in lieu of all the threads being created asking the questions, "What is the best rom? or "What is the best kernel?" for the OnePlus One device, this thread has been created.

All other threads with these same topics are allowed now as preferred by the owners of this website.

Thread Rules

1. No Flaming and no arguing. Everybody has a favorite.

2. No one is allowed to talk negatively about ROMs and/or developers or a development team. In other words, there will be no discussions about what you dislike about a certain ROM or developer.

3. No links to external sites. The ROMs must be linked on XDA.

4. No linking to non-GPL.

5. No profanity.

Please keep it clean and cordial.
[ONE General] demkantor:
My best wisdom on this subject is to always make backups, wipe clean, try new ROM, then rinse and repeat

[Q] ROM Recommendations?

So i just order my OPO a few days ago and have decided ill be rooting and getting at ak kernel but i cant figure out which rom to choose. So i'd like to here from everybody that has the different roms so i can make an informed decision. And as a reference for anybody making a recommendation i listed a few things that are important to me.

Currently leaning towards Color OS because of the camera.

Things Important to me in a rom:

1. Speed.

2. Touch Responsiveness since ive heard a few different things about CM11s with ghost touching and not beng able to keep up with fast typing.

3. Customizability. need a feature rich rom.

4. Stability. Would like a ROM that proven to not have too many bugs but its not a deal breaker if it does.

Thanks in advance.
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Ok, I'll bite. While I don't believe any ROM is better than the other, I've been running crDroid for a few weeks now and when used in conjunction with the AK kernel I get excellent performance and battery life. It has all the features that I like in a custom ROM and is rock solid in terms of stability.

The very best and most accurate way for any person to find out which ROM is best for them though is to do testing of their own, everybody has their own taste and their own needs.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE General] Swagg422:
In your opinion how are the customazations compared to other CM based roms and any issues with screen responsiveness?
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
The screen responsiveness is perfect, it contains all of the latest touchscreen drivers. The customisations are at the same level as any other ROM. It isn't really fair to compare though, that might be seen as commenting negatively about the other ROMs.

CM11S 33R with Franco r19

I was one of the users that reverted to CM11S 25R stock after having high battery drain on 33R stock. Took the chance yesterday and upgraded back to 33R but with the addition of the Franco r19 kernel. Excellent combination! No issues so far. Great responsiveness and battery life (6-10 mA idle).
[ONE General] OmegaBlaze:
I see a lot of you guys are picking your favorite ROM based on battery life.

I'm more concerned about smooth scrolling. I love Android, but the scrolling is hella jittery despite what the max frequency or governor is.

However, my favorite ROM is Slim Kat/SlimSaber on the stock kernel. And CM11S being runner-up. Also, stock kernels seem to be wayyyy more responsive/snappier than all aftermarket kernels.
