Evo Freak is right, this is becoming unbearable with the ETA's, re-posts and redundant questions.

I don't see where anyone was rude... calm down.

See, that's the problem though. It shouldn't be a 'clean up my mistake' issue. It should be a 'look twice before crossing the street' issue. You should have the common decency and sense to search to see if this was already asked. The mods don't do this for a living, and cleaning up redundant posts, I'm sure, becomes tedious and annoying. So instead of saying 'if I overlooked' something, someone else can clean it up, you should of searched and answered your own question/issue/point. Don't take this as being rude, it's not. Just be mindful of who has to clean up what for someone else's laziness.

MODS, please close this redundant thread. Thank you.
[G3 General] bweN diorD:
i only made like 10 new post in over 3 years, so if some venting about this issues needs to happen, its surely not in my direction.

i overlooked the other post, if a mod has to clean it up, then so be it. if it bothers them that much or they have no time, then promote me and i would be happy to take up any slack...
[G3 General] GuestK0087:
Again, I'm sorry if I came off as a jerk. I'm just very disturbed at the state of things as of late. The closing of the Bump thread is extremely upsetting to me as it seems that no one has any respect for the roots of XDA any more. No disrespect to the OP of this thread. Also, please forgive my ranting. It just bothers me to see the overwhelming amounts of useless, greedy, and uninformed posts. My sincere apologies.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Cutetech:
Got it when I purchased the phone. Really like it - dual layer clear case that doesn't add a lot of bulk. Let's the nice body of the Alpha show through and fits great. Will try to post some pics later.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
are you thinking about this case

[IMG="case"]http://i62.tinypic.com/okvrxf.png[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] crankykirk:
I originally bought the case OP was talking about to hold me over till I could find some clear tpu cases on eBay. Bought the case in the second post a month ago and it arrived a few days ago. I like it much better. Better grip and feels thinner.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
you say that that my case is good m8

I still dont get it ,but I think is awesom for alpha
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] crankykirk:
Both cases are great. I prefer the one you posted because it's rubbery in the back and easier to hold on to. The Case Mate Naked Tough case is different. It's plastic and can easily slip out of my hands. It is sturdy; I just prefer a TPU one.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] iflyer:
I have the extended battery kit from Samsung and have had trouble finding a case that will fit.

It looks like the bumper on the Case-Mate Naked Tough is on the inside. Can it be used indepedent of the back cover of the case? (Does the bumper fit well enough to stay on?).

Just looking for some glass and aluminium protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] goranzdr:
link frome ebay? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
I am wondering also.

I have the Charcoal Alpha with the Case Mate Naked and it's beautiful with case on.

Nice clear and clear Bumper nice buttons.

Want the 2500 mah battery but not sure if case will fit.

Will try to put 1.3 mm filler inside back of case to see.....

Maybe 4 quarters or 1.3 mm coins etc.

Let you know results.

Actually the Alpha with Extended Battery is about 8 mm thick I am told.

A dime is about 1.3 mm thick so if I can put

6 dimes in the back and still get the Casemate back and bumper to fit or stretch to fit we can be fairly certain it will work for Extended Version.

I don' t think the bumper fits too well by itself.

Edit: I do not think the Casemate Naked Tough will fit the extra 1.3 mm thickness from the Extended Battery.

I do not have the extended Battery but used a few dimes ( 1.3. mm thick lol) to see the effect;

The bumper remains in place but the clear backplate will not close completely.

This is a great case IMO not slippery and adds very little bulk to Alpha.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] robertkoa:
I wonder if this " rubbery" case Silicone I presume can s-t-r-e-t-c-h about 1.3 mm to

fit over extended battery Kit?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drrotcod:
Hi

I dropped my phone getting out of my car, wounded. I look at the phone hoping the screen wasn't broke, it wasn't thank god. The back class was broke but instantly thought well its a cheap fix and i am buying a durable case.

However, imagine place the phone (screen side down) then look at the bottom corner, not directly underneath but the opposite corner, this was the crumple zone. The corner casing has also bent a little bit upwards and it now has a sharp edge?

Would anyone know how i could get this part or better still name the part so i can do a better search?

thanks

I last charged my XDAIIi last night, and this morning I plugged it into cradle and now it wont charge at all. When I go to power settings it says "Main Battery Unknown and Backup Battery Unknown" I had copied in a file 'battery.dll' after being told it was the O2 today screen battery icon, which is wasnt, so im wondering if the 2 are related. Anybody know anything?

Please help!!!

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] stevedotcom:
tar-D, yeah i've tried a hard reset, but before I did I backd up using xBackup, (which took about 2 and half hours!! its crap, can anyone recommend a better one!!), and then when I did a hard reset, it did solve the problem. But the reason I backup up 1st is cos i dont really want to have to re-install everything.

I think what I'll do is a hard reset, then copy all batt*.* files in the windows directory, then restore the backup, copy all the files in to the windows directory here and see if it works. I'll let u know wot happens
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] /b/-TarD:
if hard reset doesnt work i think u need to reflash it :o
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] stevedotcom:
Thank God! Fixed it. I tried copying the battery files over and that didnt work cos "Files in use" error. So i've just done a hard reset and re-installed everything. Works OK now. Just wish I could get the o2 battery icon and clock back on the today screen (I flashed the ROM to get rid of all the O2 crap cos Im on Orange, and didnt realise it would take the today screen plugins with it!)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
I have owned an s3, s4, note 1,2,3,4 and this is the first time i have had to return a samsung phone.

The lag was so bad, and i posted for help and tried everything, that when i showed the manager today he even got frustrated trying to navigate the thing.

I even took it to a samsung service store and they admitted it was a lemon, as she called it.

Even better i really wanted a white one and he is going to let me swap my black for the white one he is getting tomorrow.

So to those who have denied, or called out those complaining of lag, it is real and is a defect.

I tried every unit at the samsung store and every one from every carrier was lag free.

I have used more foul language and lost more sleep the past week trying to fix that damn thing it is ridiculous. Thank God i can sleep well tonight knowing i am getting a new one tomorrow.

Just as an add on, i know there are some good and smart phone reps out there, but the few samsung people i dealt with over the phone and the one in the store were about as knowledgeable as my parents. I love it when they read the script to you on their computer screen lol. "Have you taken the battery out and restarted?" Really?

Anyway, for those of you experiencing problems, the way i see it is if i am gonna spend almost a grand on something it is gonna be right. I understand there is always issues with the first batch of anything, but this was my first time going through it and i feel for the guys who have had to swap devices out three and four times.

I pray the second one is right.

A thank you to everyone who tried to help me solve the problem, even though it was defective you all helped me learn a lot more about phones than i knew before this happened. I have been on this site since I owned my htc hero and hd2 and through the years I have seen some rude and disrespectful members, but I have also met some good friendly people and made friends. No doubt my rambling post will get some knocks but it is part of the game.

Thanks for reading.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
Hey guys, so my friend gave me her Nexus 4 and asked me to try and figure out what the problem was...

As the title says, the device refuses to turn on no matter what, I've tried using different chargers, different cables, even opened up the back cover, disconnected the battery from the device and left it like that for about half an hour, then plugged it back in, nothing. If i try to press any of the buttons while the device is plugged in, the Red light comes on and stays on until after i let go of the buttons...any thoughts? Its been awhile since she got this phone, so i don't believe she'll be able to send it back to Google to get a replacement.

TIA!

Thanks for the quick response. The main reason I want to experiment with nightlies is that I want to be on the cutting edge of all of the possible features implemented in the new versions.

I would just like to know how to do it so that if I want at any time, I can do it (assuming you give me correct instructions lol).

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NizzleFish98:
Would it be this section? Sorry for the n00b question.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdacj:
Of course I'll give you correct instructions :P

So, starting off, you will lose everything so back any pictures, music, videos, photos or any data. Next, download the latest nightly/milestone and some google apps, and you can do the other stuff while these download. So, go to developer options in settings(if you don't have it, go to about device and tap on the build number near the bottom about 8 times or whatever it is and enable advanced reboot. After this, connect your phone via USB and hold the power key and reboot to bootloader. After that, open command prompt (I'm assuming you have a PC and not a Mac or Linux) and type the command "fastboot oem unlock" this will make the phone like new and unlock the bootloader. Once it reboots, skip through the setup and once again enable advanced reboot and then reboot to bootloader. Download a recovery, I recommended twrp and once it has downloaded, open command prompt again and type the command "fastboot flash recovery" don't press enter yet, drag and drop the file from downloads and into command prompt and then press enter. It will show progress and eventually show "DONE" and once this is complete, use the command "fastboot reboot" and copy the CM11 nightly and Google apps zips to the internal storage via USB. After this, hold power and press reboot then reboot recovery, not bootloader, your phone will reboot and show the Team Win logo. Tap "wipe" and choose "advanced wipe" and tick "cache", "dalvik cache", "data" and "system" then tap the wipe button. Do not wipe "internal storage". Once it has wiped everything, go to install and choose the CM nightly and flash this, then the same with the Google Apps zip. After these both flash, press the "home" key, not "reboot system" and go to wipe once again, advanced wipe and tick all the boxes except "system", after this you can tap "reboot system" you should boot into CM11 if my instructions were thorough enough. If you want any help, just ask. I'll be here. Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, I've typed this all on my One and my thumbs now hurt, I'd appreciate a like but I'm not begging for it. Good luck [emoji4].

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

I actually haven't tried CM11 official nightlies, I just expected CM11 to not have the official camera (CameraNext) and I thought it might not have the screen off gestures and OnePlus One specific mods. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NizzleFish98:
Thanks to everyone!

Thanks guys! WIll try and see how everything goes! Appreciate the help!

Quick n00b question: Let's say I install a nightly today, will there be an update for the one for tomorrow? Or do I have to manually flash it?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdacj:
Usually, since its the OnePlus One, there's a nightly every single day and An M build every month. There's a built in "cm updater" in settings so its easy. I'll always be here if you need anything :P.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
You might want to skip the 10/27 nightly. I've heard it has issues with the sensor from multiple people. Once you manually flash the first nightly, all can be updated manually though you can set the cm updater (in about->cyanogenmod updates) to check for updates at a set interval, and have it notify you when a new nightly is out. Then you can download and flash it directly via the updater if you choose. Downloading the zip manually is also an option. The CM updater doesn't check nightlies by default though.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yes that's the right section.

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

You don't lose any functionality at all. It's actually more up to date than CM11S. It doesn't have the CM11S camera but you can install it easily. It has all gestures.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdacj:
I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. How's the battery life vs CM11S though? Every ROM I've tried (with stock kernel) has nowhere near as good battery life as stock.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSyt15:
I just used this to update to the CM12 nightlies. Phone was already rooted, so I had to selectively apply what instructions I needed, but it worked a charm! Thank you!

Also, when I booted up to CM12 it noticed that I had backed up my phone... Does CM recognise when there is a nandroid backup on your phone and load up the data by itself? Because if so, that is so freaking useful.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It isn't recognising a nandroid backup. Android has a built in backup/restore feature, in order to restore apps it downloads them from the Play Store. Restoring a nandroid backup across different ROMs, and especially across different Android versions, would be disastrous.
