[Nexus 5 Accessories] Spaceblow:
I bought the Nexus 5 and it's amazing. I've already got a screen protector but now I'm still looking for the right case. My first choice was the official bumper case but that isn't an option anymore because it isn't only unavailable at the moment, but most of the people also say it starts to peel off very quickly. So I kept looking for a case that could satisfy my needs. I want to have a good-looking case that delivers the protection the N5 needs, but doesn't add too much bulk so it wouldn't look like some kind of dragon. I also want to mention that I'm not looking for any kind of flip cover because a phone is a phone and not a book.

So after some research I've come down to 2 cases that both give a good impression. Spigen Case Slim Armor and Spigen Case Neo Hybrid. They both have a fairly good reputation so I really can't decide which one to get. I also don't really know the difference. I guess they are the same in thickness. The Slim Armor one probably has better protection and from what I've read isn't as slippery as the Neo Hybrid one, but that case probably also has nice features.

Which one should I get? Or are there better cases available? Thanks in advance!

I have bought like a whole load of cases and found that my favorite case is a simple TPU case like Distronic's cases (I like the black one, the white/clear/frosted design gets discolored over time) they don't make the phone overly bulky, provide pretty good drop protection and are pretty cheap. I have owned Spigen's slim armor and the slim armor with the flip cover and while they are great cases they made the phone a little more chunky than I liked.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Also came here to recommend the Diztronic TPU... I have the black one and its my favorite. Have tried quite a few cases as well, although never had a spigen

[Nexus 5 Accessories] vesu:
+1 for diztronic

It adds fairly good protection but less bulk than most cases(not counting hard shells). Buttons are easy to press and it looks and feels good. It's cheap too!

I've also had spigen neo hybrid but found it too bulky and slippery. Buttons and looks were nice tho.

Btw clear diztronic is out of stock and they dont sell it anymore.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dicecuber:
I'd stay away from hard cases such as the ringke slim or spigen hard crystal shell as they scratched up my phone

+1 for soft
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bendirkss:
Go with the slim armor. One of the best cases I've had, and I've had A LOT of cases. Its a lot more comfortable to hold over the neo hybrid.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
My favorite case by far is the Magpul Field. https://store.magpul.com/product/MAG474/cases
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Unknownkj:
Magpul looks awesome dude. Not those clear backs. My ringke got scratched up real bad. Neo hybrid looks decent, in fact I'm getting it. Considering a diztronic as well. I-blason is decent too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bleAfy:
I haven't got the specific Spigen cases you're interested in but I do have the Spigen ultra fit and ultra hybrid. I have been using both cases for the past year (the ultra fit mostly because it doesn't add as much bulk as the ultra hybrid) and both are very good cases that I like. However, I recently ordered the Diztronic case and I'm waiting for it to arrive. The reason is I recently used my previous phone with a Diztronic case and it reminded me that I generally prefer good quality TPU cases more. So I decided I may as well get a Diztronic case for my Nexus 5. As you may see, I agree with the others in recommending the Diztronic case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
I have the Spigen Case Slim Armor, a Tech21 case, and a TPU case, I prefer the Tech21, as a matter of fact I dropped my phone just the other day, and it landed flat on it's back, I thought for sure the screen would be shattered, but nope, all is well.

The Tech21 seems to have more of an "Air cushion" between the case and back of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Spaceblow:
Well, I have a pretty cheap one at the moment, this one (it's indeed not a very pretty one). The case barely adds any bulk but it doesn't give the safest feeling. I'm protected for any scratches but I don't think these kind of cases absorb impact very well, so I'll probably still go for something chunkier but then I'll at least know I'm pretty safe.

From what I've read the Neo Hybrid is a bit overrated and doesn't feel very good in the hand. So yeah, I'll probably get the Slim Armor one. :)

These cases are probably really well-made but I don't think they protect that good if you compare it to the bulkier cases, definitely not against drops.

I thought the Spigen Slim Armor also has these air cushions?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WangLung:
I felt like that too until this convinced me that a TPU case is good enough.

The Cruzerlite cases are pretty similar to the Diztronic ones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
The Tech21 has a little more cushion
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ozzmanj1:
My favorite case after trying out several:

Bugdroid by Cruzerlite

[Nexus 5 Accessories] c_brown93:
I love the Google Bumper Case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ptesmoke:
Magpul then diztronic. Slim armor I hated I had zero button feedback
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Onismurai:
I love them too. Very good feel in hand. I don't know it until I bought one. I know the Official one now unavailable but still we have a lots high quality one in eBay. Not OEM, but still very good (even similar if you ask me)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndreIrawan97:
I'm using spigen case :D

i get it for free from Nexus gift pack

It's nice, and it feels like the original back of nexus
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KVV84:
Had both the Neo Hybrid and the Slim Armor and prefer the Neo Hybrid.

I found that in comparison to the Neo Hybrid, the Slim Armor added too much bulk to the phone. The back of the NH feels better (rubber, a bit like the original back of the phone) while the back of the SA is more slippery (metal). The buttons on the SA required too much force to press and you don't really feel any feedback while pressing.

The only reason I would choose the SA over the NH is for the extra protection, but for me the NH offers more than enough protection (dropped it a few of times indoor and outdoor, only some minor scruffs on the corners of the case).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bendirkss:
Didn't Spigen used to sell just the outer band for the neo hybrid? That way you can have a few different colors if you like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] robbithobbit16:
so my rear speaker won't play sound. i just had the screen replaced, but that process doesn't go that far into the phone. the sticker on the back is still white. I don't know what to do, other forums have suggested tapping/pressing on the speaker to try to re-settle the connectors but that didn't work. I would like to avoid a factory reset and i don't want to spend any more money. what should I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Arrow44:
Just take the phone apart and see if the speaker is replaceable. I took apart my HTC one x and att still replaced it after it stopped working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YouGotCut1:
I came down with the same problem on my Galaxy S5 after a screen replacement. I replaced the external speaker, and the charge port assembly which connects to the external speaker, but still nothing. Pressing down doesn't work for me either.

Has anyone been able to overcome this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ionferrari:
external speaker wont work on galaxy s5

I have same problem ,I did try 3 speakers ,and I don't know the problem. I did verified all settings -all locks ok. I do have sound to all other audio :

headsets ,Bluetooth, . I do believe , has to be a software problem, I did try Factory reboot ,pull battery .

I used to have (still have dont use it much) Nokia 9210. Very old by todays comparision but some features are just something which makes me wonder why no other phones have since. When I sent SMS by presing button SEND I had about 5 seconds to cancel it by pushing cancel button in OUTBOX folder. If I didnt I could just close the phone knowing that it will be send whenever phone gets back to mobile network.

So I wonder is there any registry tweak to keep trying to send SMS or re schedule failed sms? Or do I have to wait every time in the tube before I got out to send all the sms I wrote?

Backup is an internal application of Nokia 9210 which I used but never needed it. That phone has never crashed by meaning of loosing all of the information in 5 years!!!

I messed up today screen and lost all sms and other stuff on UNI just under a week of using. Is it the windows or the architecture that bad? Using Midget 0.1 Crosbow

For unknown reason whenever I plug the Uni in the PC and Active sync starts to synchronise it doesnt stop. After hard reset I was suprised that it didnt synchronise for at least a week.

What settings are wrong?

Because I cant change what will be synchronised and for example favourites doesnt do anything.

I use Active sync 4.5beta

I had Motorola A925 afterwards and that phone is crap. I could not get back to nokia 9210 because that doesnt support USIM, the only disadvantage of that phone.

I just hope that with all the backuping will not loose all data again, its a pain in the a***.

Thanks anyone who knows anything about tweaking SMS settings..

My MMS messages won't send (I don't have the correct settings), but they keep trying and advise me a few times a day that they're not going out. I'd guess that SMS messages do the same thing...? Cheers,
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metropical:
I have flashed prolly 25 ROMs over the last year or so. All were various XDA posted ROMs. All were flashed by first wiping the internal system fully as well as the cache and dalvik.

Over time my M7 has become sluggish.

Is it possible that the SD has some residual files that are slowing the overall OS and a total wipe might help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You might want to do a full wipe and you might want to remove some old files off of your phone to give it more breathing room. Remember to backup everything including the ROM and copy it off of your phone in case something goes wrong.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melbing:
If you really wanted a clean start then you could get an htc RUU but it would reset the phone completely stock, so make a backup. This helped me when I had a similar slow down on my phone
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metropical:
I did a full wipe factory reset. So far things seem better, other than the 1 xPosed module I installed, MacroExpansion, isn't working properly, or at least not the way it did before the wipe.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
how many of these slow down threads do you have going ?

To me it seems your digging the same hole you were in before. Why don't you try using the phone without Xposed and without 110 junk apps and games on it? xPosed is a Hack ..the second you install and activate it your phone is no longer normal and your asking for problems
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metropical:
couple thousand.

no junk, no games at all. and since exposed worked before without issues, I think it's likely to work again. But I'll have some worthwhile input to figure its' issue.

Do I have multiples of the same concept?

Yep, weather for instance. Coz sometimes the servers don't respond when I want to know what's ahead.

Do I have a lot of apps that are seldom used? Yep, but when they're of use, they are.

the one "junk app" that was in particular misbehaving was a NYC subway map, which can be helpful when I go to areas that I'm not totally familiar with.

It now works fine.

One mans junk is anothers useful app. But do I have dancing chickens? Nope.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Right their is the flaw in your thinking, you did have issues that's why you wiped the phone (Twice). You'll eventually figure it out the hard way

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] RobinsonR810:
Is anyone else having issues with wifi connecting? My issue is that wifi doesn't always connect, and the only way I can usually get it to connect is to restart my phone. So I have my home wifi saved in the phone and when I leave it obviously disconnects, then when I'm back home I have to restart my phone in order to get it to connect. My work wifi has even more issues and it doesn't always connect from a restart. Is anyone having this issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] -magnum-:
Yup see my post in this forum, i have issues with my home cisco ap. I need to use a wifi fixer app just to stay connected.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wseyller:
Mine has worked perfect so far. Have connected to several networks while at home or working.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] allenrb2:
Mine is working great too. I am getting better signal than my Razr M, and compared to several other phones I have owned, the M got wonderful signal!

I got it in red just in case anyone is curious. Most complaints I have seen seem to come from those with ballistic nylon, which was the deciding factor in buying it in red.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] RobinsonR810:
Magnum , which app do you use? i'd like to try it. But honestly at this point I think I'm swapping out the device...I don't see anyone else that has this same issue as me where I have to restart for the wifi to work. I did a factory reset and thought it fixed it but nope it disconnected grrrrrrrr. Luckily we can swap out within 14 days.

Oh and mine is red too and I still have issues
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] RobinsonR810:
I am so sad. I factory reset, didn't help. I went to Verizon store and swapped out for a new phone. It connected to a random wifi by the store so I thought woohoo it works. It connected at home. Then I got to work today and its having the issues again. It won't connect unless I restart the phone (and even sometimes restarting doesn't help). I'm at a loss. I'm so sad because this is the only phone that I want that is out right now but if wifi doesn't work then it is completely and utterly usesless to me. My only glimmer of hope is that the case (verizon one that has the kickstand and the belt clip) is making the wifi act all wonky, so I took the case off and lets see what happens. Fingers crossed!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] allenrb2:
Did you disable the "Avoid poor connections" option? I found it wouldn't let me connect to a lot of networks on my old Razr M, so I disabled it immediately when I got this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] allenrb2:
These are my settings, and I haven't had a problem.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] schwinn8:
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but it appears to have resolved a weird issue I was seeing. Specifcally, I would see "old" Wifi SSIDs in the list that were not available anywhere near me. For example, I just traveled 3 hours away, and I was still seeing a router from the 3-hour-distant site. Only the phone saw it... my computer, for example, confirms it's not real. It would just show up as a "ghost" in the list, and never disappear.

I checked the post you had, and saw that I had disabled most of the items... except "Wifi Notifications" and "Scanning always available". So, when I disabled those, and then turned off/on the wifi, the ghost SSIDs disappeared.

In related news, this issue may also causing one of the routers I used to always show "Saved, secured with WEP" and yet it would never connect. It was a real signal in the area, and my laptop connected with no issues... but the phone would refuse to connect, even if I forgot the network and reconnected with the WEP key, etc. I'm hoping this fix (disabling the above two items) will fix that as well... but I won't know for sure as I'm 3 hours away from that router now :)

In any case, thanks for the posted pic... it helped me identify and fix the problem... hopefully this can help others, too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kongmingtwo:
Hello all,

I've rooted several phones in the past, but have been having more trouble with my verizon galaxy s4 than I have with the rest. Not so much with the processes themselves, those were easy, but with feeling comfortable with the guides I am using since there are so many different builds and versions.

I had stock NG6, I felt comfortable and succeeded in rooting using the kernel flash and downgrade method (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufng6-t2905848).

Now I'm looking to get a ROM backup of my current config (reflashed to NG6) or a stock ROM i can flash. I downloaded the ROM Manager CWM offers in the playstore, but when I ran it after install it requires a custom recovery, as per usual. I say "OK" and I end up with the following:

SAMSUNG

Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)

jfltevzw

UNSUPPORTED DEVICE

Device not Listed Above

Click here if your device is not shown in the list above.

I was a little worried about the jfltevzw under the first option, since I was unable to find anything in the various information my phone tells me (build, kernel, etc) that matches that string.

Normally I never post unless I truly can't find anything... but I've spent about 2 hours looking through stickies and instructions here and on other sites for creating a recovery and installing SS/CyanogenMod, and I haven't had any luck. I've rooted quite a few devices and I use this forum as my go-to, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

dev info:

Carrier: verizon

model: I545

droid ver: 4.4.2

kernel: 3.4.0

baseband: I545VRUFNG6

status: rooted (from NG6 via flash to NC5 -> root w/ towelroot -> flash NG6)

any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DX.Deception:
As of right now you can't install AOSP roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Safestrap is the Only recovery you can use. No CWM, TWRP Or cyanogen or any other AOSP Roms. Look for the threads about safestrap with your ng6 . And Roms that work with safestrap. Hyper drive is a good one, along with several others.

Oh. And extremely limited for kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kongmingtwo:
OK. Will do, thanks!

Do you think it might be good to flash NC5 and stay there even though my phone was stock NG6? Not like I'm really concerned with the new stock features.

edit: the only thing bothering me so far rooting with the method i used is I haven't had any random reboots... some people were reporting upwards of 30/day and I haven't had a problem in ~4 hours. Seems inconsistent ><
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kongmingtwo:
I've been trying to install SS via flashing the NC5 first then installing, but I'm having a lot of crash/reboots attempting to get anything going on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kongmingtwo:
there a version of SS that can be installed on NG6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdrickMG:
No different kernel, it won't install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
You will need to Odin back to NC5 using the full wipe .tar then use the rooting method at the bottom of this OP in order for the safestrap app to work correctly: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufng6-t2905848

Unless you also wipe internal storage, no you won't lose your personal data. When flashing a ROM you should wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickdaddy96:
I'm having issues with my phone reverting to 3G after only being on LTE for a minute no matter how good of a signal of LTE I have. This just started today, and I have refreshed the profile, prl. I had the Sprint people remotely update my phone, and they also checked for issues in my area and there are none. I also factory reset/data wiped my phone and it didn't help either.

So before I call Samsung and tell them my issues for a replacement I wanted to try installing the Factory TAR via Odin to see if that might fix it since I guess factory reset may not really touch any corrupt modem/radio files really.

I know that on the Note 3 it didn't trip it, but I was wondering if someone has had the chance to do this yet on ours to see if it tripped it?

I might call Best Buy and tell them my problem and see if they will switch it out for me even though I am out of the 14 day return window. I really don't want to send it back to Samsung and wait a week or more for a new phone.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
don't quote me, but I think Knox is tripped when change to a custom recovery, which is what is needed to install a custom rom.

Unless you're rooted, you should be fine. If you are, you've probably already tripped it.
