I just ordered the real Bamboo 'skin' and my silver skin with side wrap will be here today. Stay tuned for install video for both. The side skin one should be up later tonight.

I'm uploading the videos to my laptop now so they should be up later tonight.

Green CF Skin

So Pilz sent me a green CF skin and asked that I post a few photos once I had it installed. While I kind of think I could have done a better job putting it on I'm happy after all this was my first time installing a skin. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jerbeck24:
Nice! I haven't received mine yet... Can't wait!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thanks for posting the pictures. The skins I gave away were sent out from slickwraps as a duplicate and they were nice enough to let me keep them. I didn't need then so that's why I have then away to members here.

I'm glad you guys like them, they look great!

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
OP updated, Silver CF added, and different styles of the Orange and Green CF are added as well. See Post #4 for the new pictures.

New install guides added for the front skin and side skins see OP for details!

I still have the Real Bamboo (SW) coming soon along with the Real Leather (most likely the football texture) getting custom cut for my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I still have one more skin to give away. If you are interested and have NOT used a skin before please quote this and let me know.

Also my real leather skin is coming very son for my Spigen case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3taman:
I have been debating on getting a skin, and would love to try one if you have an extra. Haven't used one yet. :good:

Shoot me a pm with your address and I'll mail it out today.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dave2metz:
Man, I would love to have a skin for my blue Nexus 6. Iv'e literally been looking at skins online for the last couple of weeks, but I'm having a hard time choosing a company. Thanks for the great reviews on skins in the OP. I think it will help me narrow down my choice. The only thing I'm worried about is the texture of the skin. I want something with some grip since we all know how slippery the back is on the N6. I'm leaning towards the black leather because it looks like it might have the best grip of all of the choices. Let me know if you have any suggestions. If you are still feeling generous, I would't pass up a free skin. haha.....thanks man.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I would say the "leather" skins have the most grip. I have a real bamboo one coming today hopefully from SlickWraps and then I have 2 Real Horween leather skins coming from Slickwraps as well. The real leather will certainly provide the most grip but the fake leather as seen in the OP is always a great choice. I'm impartial to the carbon fiber because of the look however its not as grippy as some of the other skins. I wish I had a way to test the static friction coefficient of them :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Natural Series and Real Bamboo added!!! See post #4 for pictures :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Post # 4 :-X

That bamboo looks awesome. Can't wait for the leather!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Thanks I forgot to count the OP as a post :eek: I just forwarded you what Weston said about the leather. It will officially ship Monday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
Looks amazing! Seeing those pics, I feel really good about using my Natural cover to replace the stock back. It should fit flush with the metal after removing the stock back. I'm gonna start with the leather for the extra grip(and smell lol). My Leather/Bamboo shows arriving Monday. Thanks for the detailed pics!

I'll post pics of mine here on Monday! :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That sounds great! Lets us know how it goes because I would be interested in trying it if it works out as well as we hope it wil. My leather won't ship until monday, and its going onto my case not my phone but it will look nice :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
Well, got a surprise from the post office as they delivered my skins today! Just installed the Distressed tan skin and wow, I now have the sexiest N6 ever! Thanks so much [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION]! I did take the stock plastic cover off and I am using a old skin as a base layer below the leather skin. Sits flush with the phone now and looks like it was made to be there. The leather is top quality, smells great and is super grippy, way grippier than the carbon fiber skin I had. Because this sits flush, you can use any case you want. I am using the Ringke Slim fit for when I'm at work. Enjoy the pics.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That looks nice! I may try that with my bamboo back, but I really don't have the time to tear down my phone right now,
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JuannTwo3:
Is there a particular reason you used an old skin as a base and not just apply the tan skin directly on the phone? I have a natural bamboo and am curious as to how to properly do this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rx2mazda:
First reason was because I wanted a buffer in between to cover the holes(pattern)so the leather wouldn't show these "dips", just a smooth leather back. I also wanted protection for the ribbon cable for the side buttons that runs back there, I didn't know how ofter I would be swapping skins and I didn't want it pulling up on that ribbon when I took it off.

I also have the Bamboo back and a extra middle housing and I can tell you that the bamboo won't work as is. It's maybe .2 inches too wide so it bows in the middle. Not a huge problem since it's Natural wood and can be sanded very easily(carefully)to fit. This is what I'm going to do. Just take about .1 inches off both sides and it should be Golden.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JuannTwo3:
Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind when it arrives! [emoji106]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Horween leather should be here Wednesday/Thursday for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I also bought a dark brown leather to install as a back for my phone in addition to me modding the bamboo one. I'll post pictures once that's done. I've been extremely busy with school since my semester is 1/4 the way done already the work load is piling up. I'll do my best to stay active on this OP but midterms start next week. If you have a question quote one of my posts so I get an email letting me know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Karine:
Many, many thanks for the fantastic information. Do you by chance have similar information or opinions on screen protectors?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I don't have pictures but I also have an OP comparing plastic screen protectors for the Nexus 6. Its no where near as in depth however, it can be helpful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Karine:
Is there by chance a link available to your OP?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:

Here is the dark brown Horween Leather on my Spites Ultra Hybrid and on my Nexus 6. The football is coming soon because it got back ordered. I will update the OP when I get a chance but its been a very very busy weekend and a busy week ahead. (The leather on my phone has some 'wrinkles' but that was intentional to make it look worn)

Dark brown SW Horween leather

Dbrand silver metal "M" and camera accents

Case: Spigen Ultra Hybrid in gunmetal
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Did you end up taking the stock back off before fitting the leather?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yes I did, it was much easier than I thought it would be.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
And did you use anything to cover the soft spots in the mid frame?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
They are actually on the lower region of the frame and I used the SW card that comes in the box. I cut it up and placed it into the slots and it worked just fine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stumpy352:
Cool. Thanks for the info. (By mid frame I meant mid-frame, as in the aluminium middle housing. ?)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Yeah I thought you meant the middle of the phone:) the leather was easy to install I recommend covering the camera lens with some tape in case you slip while prying the back off with a guitar pick or plastic tool.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
Anyone tried using a natural back with the UAG case?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
How tight is the fit normally? Does it flex similarly to a TPU? If not it likely won't work. The leather is about add thick as a tempered glass screen protector that covers the back and can't stick out like a screen protector. It was a tight fit with a TPU case and me cable wouldn't fit with the bamboo back so that's why I installed the leather on the frame and removed the factory back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nicholaschum:
Ah I see, the phone drops into the UAG case and is quite snug, but I can see some extra space there for some leeway.

I was interested in the bamboo back as the UAG logo merges with the nexus logo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That will likely be an issue. The leather is thick as is the bamboo which you would expect from natural materials. I don't think it will work to be honest with you. The bamboo might if you sanded it a little bit, but the leather is another thing.. I wouldn't want nasty indents on my leather due to a case which is another reason why I just said f*ck it and removed my back to install it. I also bought a spare OEM back off ebay just incase I fudged the old one. The look and feel of the leather make it worth it, plus I have Moto Care so if I were to "break" it somehow I could throw my old back on and get it replaced.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Update: I have an exam friday and 3 next week on top of my 2 labs and regular weekly homework but I'm posting more pictures tonight of the dark brown leather in better lighting.

Also my football leather shipped and it will be here Friday according to USPS so then there's that to look forward to. The dark brown is wearing nicely on my case :) I applied 10 'treatments' of leather conditioner and protector to it so I could make it softer and more resistant to cracking over time. It looks great!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
OP Updated: Horween Leather in Dark Brown added (For Spigen Ultra Hybrid and for the phone)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Its dark here so I had to use the flash, but the good news is that I decided to get a new DSLR after not having one for a while so expect exponentially better pictures. Its been a while since I used a DSLR and I just snapped a few quick pictures but I will take more and update the OP.

Cork?

I would very much like to see any pictures of the Nexus 6 with the cork natural skin from SW installed, with and without the cutout. Also, I'd like to know if anyone has an opinion about the natural skins with cutouts trapping dirt and dust in the M circle area. Anyone know when those SW back replacements are coming out?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MontAlbert:
I am loving my Sw football leather skin. Installed it directly onto the backplate. Sure adds about half a mm but thickness is not an issue with this phone. The texture is amazing, smells like a football, and I can finally feel confident gripping the phone that it won't slip out of my hands all the time.

I have a spigen ultra hybrid case which still fits on just. Very happy indeed. Wish I hadn't ordered all the other skins from Sw now, I will not be changing from the football leather.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Blown 89:
MontAlbert,

I might be interested in taking any extras you have if you want to slip one in an envelope and mail it. I have a cutter/plotter at home and I want to scan one of the skins in and try and make my own.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] harpin14789:
How many times can the skins be reapplied? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Until they will no longer adhere. I've reapplied a skin 5 times which was pushing it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] harpin14789:
Wow! Just another question. Does the dbrand front skin for the Nexus 6 come with a screen protector?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The front skin? I know it used to a long time ago, but I don't have my Nexus 6 anymore (moved onto the 6P).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] harpin14789:
OK, thanks for the help!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
No problem! You could always email then and ask. I prefer dbrand skins over SW because they tend to have better cutouts.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EindhovenOne:
Hey, everyone. So just a few moments ago I dropped my OPO onto my hardwood floor. I exclaimed, "Oh balls..." out loud and then picked up my phone. There are no marks on it, no damage to the tempered glass screen protector, nothing at all to note. BUT, now there are phantom touches happening in what appears to be the lower left quadrant of the screen. I cannot do anything. I have already made phone calls I didn't mean to make, send out random emails, it is ridiculous. There is no LCD bleed, no marks, nothing!!!?!?!

It does the same thing in TWRP recovery as well. Phantom touches in the same area. Is it possible that when I dropped it the tempered glass protector shifted a bit or something and now it is registering touches? Should I try to remove the tempered glass protector and see if that fixes it? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The fact that there are no visible marks on the device doesn't mean anything at all, the phone is damaged, that's what happens when you drop them. It's impossible for the screen protector to be registering touches. You've most likely damaged the digitizer and it'll need to be repaired.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EindhovenOne:
Thank you for the swift reply. I am comfortable taking this phone apart and replacing the digitizer, but can you suggest a reputable place to get a replacement part? Thanks again for your time.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Honestly, I don't know of any place at all that you can get a digitizer for this thing. If such a place does exist it's probably going to take some serious searching. One thing to take note of is you'll want to buy the digitizer + screen combo, because trying to separate the two will most likely end up with both being destroyed. And another thing to note, while the most obvious culprit is the digitizer, it isn't definitely that, so you might be better off having it inspected and repaired by OnePlus themselves (as much of a nightmare as that apparently is).

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

As it seems many know, there has been an issue with the HTC One (M7) where pictures taken with the camera (and shown on screen while taking) show a purple haze in lower light photos. I read about this being a wide-spread issue a while back, but kept forgetting to look into it.

I have an HTC One (M7) on AT&T and have this issue. My question is, is there any type of software / flashable fix to resolve / correct / improve this issue or is it purely hardware related?

Below's a pic I took just a few minutes ago as an example...

[IMG="Sample Pic"]http://www.guidesforit.com/shared/PurpleHaze.png[/IMG]

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Yes, it is known issue. You can send it back to HTC for a camera replacement. If it is still under warranty it will be covered for free. You can check in the HTC One General Forum thread on the issue.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waffers:
I posted this as a reply on another thread, but as hard as it was for me a figure out a workaround for diag mode that doesn't involve the dialer codes, or trying to force the hidden menus with shortcut apps. If you don't have a dialer (Not included in the factory reset, for some odd reason...) there is seemingly NO WAY to get diag/modem mode actually working, and connecting to DFS or CDMA tool.

For some reason, I factory reset my tab, and it allowed me to add root perms during the reset, but now I have no phone or dialer app, and even if I install the official google dialer.apk it won't register the special codes for diag/modem. I tried anycut, and the quickshortcut guy, and when I hit any of the shortcuts it'll tell me "application not found." So I'm unable to activate diag/ modem mode through the gui...

BUT i found a script for an LG phone, that actually works to enable diag/modem mode on the tab 3 (t217s).

Download Smanager (script manager) from the play store.

Make sure you have root access (option when you factory reset, poot, towelroot... etc...)

#!/system/bin/sh

stop adbd
echo 0 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
echo 1004 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor
echo 631B > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct
echo 239 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceClass
echo 2 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceSubClass
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/bDeviceProtocol
echo tty > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_acm/acm_transports
echo diag,diag_mdm > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_diag/clients
echo acm,diag,mtp,adb > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
echo 1 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
start adbd

Create a new script with this, and make SURE YOU CLICK "SU" when you save to run the script with root access. It will setup modem/diag mode, but it will require the LG drivers, because it is expecting that venid/devid.

You can get them here if you don't have them.

cdmatool .com, it's the "LG Electronics driver.zip" package.

(It won't let me post an actual link because I'm a new member)

After I ran the script, I didn't need to even unplug/plug the tablet in order for it to connect to diag mode.

NOTE:

You could change these two lines to pertain to drivers that are more compatible with the hardware in the galaxy tab 3, but it seems to work fine regardless.

echo 1004 > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor

echo 631B > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct

I guess let us know if you try changing the vendor/devid to a different, more applicable set of drivers. If it seems to have better functionality, I'd like to know. This script with the LG drivers works for everything I've tried in DFS/CDMA ws, so if anyone encounters problems (presumably from the different drivers) please let me know.

Now, get out there and flash some tabs!! And please let me know what other carriers you can flash to. I'm curious if it's possible to switch to another CDMA network and simply disable to RIMM/SIM card.
