[Nexus 6 Accessories] C00lBeanz:
The UAG case is both lightweight, thin, and has very good protection. The case is military-grade drop tested too. It also includes a free screen protector if you're interested, personally I don't use screen protectors.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
No it has not been tested as such. It "meets" a "standard" so loosely worded as to be utterly worthless and in no meaningful way a standard. To actually meet the standard, you have to state how you tested it specifically. And I quote from their n6 listing:

"meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6)"

If they actually tested it... that blurb would have a different verb.

I think it is kind of a nice case...but, please recognize worthless cheap marketing for what it is, to sway people who don't think things through and see them for what they are.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] C00lBeanz:
Well, maybe not ACTUALLY military-grade tested, but it did save me a 3-4 foot drop onto my school's tile floor.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Acreo Aeneas:
Personally I use the Ringke Max: http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...+nexus+6&pebp=1422593278769&peasin=B00OKRJNZM

I've (for some reason) always gone and gotten a Rearth (Ringke) case for my Motorola phones. Had Slim for my Moto G (1st Gen). Dropped it by accident a few times. Case took most of the hits, phone came out fine (luckily didn't hit on the front corners...probably would have cracked screen if it did). Got the Max since it offers a bit more of a glove-like protection for my N6.

Trident makes some good cases. I still have my Trident for my HAM2. It's a tank of a case, but increases thickness and width a bit too much for my liking. On top of that, getting it out of the case requires the use of a slotted screwdriver. Had to take it out once a week since the built-in screen protector would form some air gaps causing dust to get trapped. Ended up getting a slim case for the HAM2 becuase of it.

Other that Trident's claim that it meets and exceeds ANSI military spec (which is very loose definition as pointed out above), I've never dropped my HAM2 to test it. Though they do have videos up of others with Tridents on their Sammys and such throwing their phones across a room or running it over with a truck (and whatnot).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doitright:
God no. That thing won't take a 2 INCH drop.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

My Ballistic arrived last night.

Its actually a lot more slim than I was expecting. Not in a bad way, but in a "well planned" way. Looks great in person, and actually very nice to hold. The "screen protector" it came with (if you can call it that) is utterly useless.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Acreo Aeneas:
Do you have proof of this? Other than one supposed cracked screen with the case on, I haven't found any proof that the phone would not survive a typical drop. And the one with the cracked screen seems to have fallen on the screen itself rather than on the case (point of impact is just on the edge of the visible screen).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Petropavlovsk:
It may not be the most heavy duty case out there, but I am happy with it. Dropped my N6 on Thursday while doing a walkthrough on a kitchen install, my heart stopped when my phone went bouncing across a brand new tile floor and landed face down. Not a scratch on the phone itself. YMMV but the case fits well, it doesn't add too much bulk and I didn't have to send my phone off to get repaired.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
Thanks for all the input. I've settled on the trident + jelly comb TG. I'm hoping it will be a winning combination, will be posting picks. Ideally since TGs are all pretty small I would like a heavier case to have some overlap on where it drops off from the curve... but we'll see.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Acreo Aeneas:
I'm sure you'll love your Trident case. Any case is better than no case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] msd24200:
I really like my ballistic tough jacket maxx
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
I actually got this case from the person I bought my nexus from and was pleasantly surprised. I like the design better than the typical otterbox defender setup. The phone clips into the screen protector, while the shell is a hard back with rubber sides that clamp around the screen protector. The protector sits closer to the screen this way versus the defender design, which has two inner pieces clipped together around the phone. It feels well protected, there's a good amount of hard plastic on the back and front. It's easy enough to grip with the rubber sides and cutout for the dimple. I wouldn't have ever tried it if it didn't come with the phone, but I'm glad it did.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
I need a holster-style case and have been looking at the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro - does that appear to be essentially the same as your case described above, please? If so, I found your writeup very helpful and was wondering what you thought of the side button feel.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Yes that's exactly what I have. The side buttons work fine, press easy.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 8Fishes:
Thought I would give everyone an update. I've had this phone for a day. Put on a jelly comb TG.. went on almost perfect.

The case felt a tad light compared to my previous aegis case.

Takes about a minute to 'wrestle' it into the case, which is otherwise a snug fit after the hard outershell wraps around the soft rubber.

I do not believe the soft rubber will attract lint. It has a slight texture, and not completely smooth.

I've also gone the next step of doing some extremely light 'drop' tests. Just lifting it about an inch off the table and letting it fall along the various 'edges'. For the most part, the hard plastic covers any potential 'drops' unless it falls oriented face down. Then the softer 'lip' of the case which I feel like can survive a few good drops.

I got the blue one. I think I'll get the pink one now that trident has a 20% off coupon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kingston73:
I like the trident case looks, I just ordered a black one. I've been using a ringgke max and really like it, not sure why the poster above said its not protective. It's a solid, good quality case. I might also buy a uag and see if it's as good as the reviews say. To me it seems like a me it's not as tough as a lot of others.

hi everyone, i have a problem with my galaxy grand i9082

3 days ago i upgraded the android version from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 with odin and it worked, some minutes later they asked me to make an update, and i did it.

since then when i turn on the phone, it shows a screen with the name of the phone and it keeps restarting.

when i enter in odin mode, a red error appears and it says: Current cMM firm version

i can't enter to the CMW recovery mode. and i can't flash the phone with any version of odin or recovery i tried all the rooms but they all failed.

please i need your help!!!!!!:crying::crying::crying:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faile486:
I have a Sprint Samsun Galaxy Note 4, in the USA. I'm trying to root my device - I've read online tutorials, watched videos, and it doesn't seem to be working. Here's what happens:

1. Downloaded CF Auto Root for my device, unzipped it.

2. Set up ODIN.

3. Set phone to download mode, plugged in to PC.

4. Did not see the blue light, figured I didn't have the right drivers.

5. Turned phone back on, and noticed that ODIN light now works (as do file transfers), but downloaded new drivers anyway.

6. Uninstalled old drivers, rebooted.

7. Installed new drivers, rebooted.

8. Placed phone in download mode again, same issue.

Any ideas?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Did you wait a couple of minutes between steps 3 and 4 before giving up. I just re-did this last night; I didn't time it but my PC must have taken a minute to show COM to be ready to start Odin on the stock tar.

I was also having USB driver issues and reinstalled. My PC has been having USB issues in general with Windows 8.1 updates; had to uninstall and reinstall the same PC generic USB driver. Circa 2009 era PC needs an overhaul or replacement.

BTW, if you're using an older CF Auto root, CF went back to Odin 3.07 and updated to superSU v2.45
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faile486:
I did, because I was unsure what was going on. This is only the second time I've rooted a phone, so I was unsure what would happen if I pulled the battery. I think I waited about 20 minutes while looking online to figure out what was going on.

I'm not sure what you mean by an older version. I downloaded the version for my phone from chainfire.eu

Some questions I should have asked earlier: USB debugging enabled? Using USB 2.0? Tried different USB cables?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faile486:
Yes, device debugging is enabled. First thing I did on my phone after activation =)

I'm not sure how to tell if I'm using USB 2.0 or 3.0.

I did try a different cable. I don't think the cable would be the issue since it works when the phone is on normally, though?

I'm going to follow the troubleshooting guide in the links you posted, see if that helps =)

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
What Windows version are using? If it's 8.1, has it been updated? There was a USB 2.0 update that fixed some devices reporting as compatible greater than 2.0 but not handled correctly by Windows 8.1 but was OK with Windows 8.0 and below. Windows 8.1 got an update July, 2014, that should have fixed that but not all were fixed; there's a link for reporting exceptions with a log but I'm not sure that applies to you.

Have you tried using the USB port on test of PC case?

Maybe being more specific about your PC and what you've tried would help.

From there, if anyone else has some suggestions, please advise.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faile486:
Yes, that has to be done to get to download mode? I'm at the screen where it says 'Downloading...Do not turn of the target!!'
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I'm sorry but I don't recall seeing this reply because I don't understand it now. I may have overlooked it?

Are you saying the phone appears to download but boot loops? You should see success and 0 failures prior to auto boot. Is that the CF Auto root flash in Odin or another Odin flash like recovery or stock tar? If that's happening, did you try to pull battery and delete cache and dalvik cache in recovery? Is the phone semi bricked or just not rooted? Can you Odin the recovery tar for TWRP recovery? If so, you could just flash the superSU zip file in TWRP.

http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Another suggestion, if you're getting anywhere with Odin, you should close and reopen Odin if doing multiple flashes. Close after each flash; i.e., power down, flash stock tar, close Odin, open Odin, flash CF Auto root, close Odin, flash recovery (download mode steps omitted since you know that already).

Again, someone might could help with detailed setup details and steps taken. Sorry if I'm not following well; I'd like to help, if possible.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faile486:
I'm using Windows 7. Using another PC is a good idea, I'll try that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Didn't realize the auto correct suggested wrong word. I meant rear USB of PC case but trying another PC is also suggested.

Windows 7 means most of my suggestions regarding the drivers may not apply to you. Off topic: upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows Vista had me searching for needed applications and tools omitted from Windows 8. Windows 7 is more developer ready than Windows 8. Simply rooting should be OK with either version as long as drivers and Windows updates are up to date and not broken.

Try those ideas; if still no success, consider the suggestions and questions I gave in the reply earlier today.

Hi there,

so I've been reading through the forums here for quite a while now. I have a SE LWW (WT19i, 12W08). I rooted it (I think) using eRoot 1.3.4. The Bootloader Unlock is NOT allowed. The Flashtool64 LOG says:

Now I'd like to upgrade to either an ICS firmware using the Flashtool (or do I need an official Sony Tool?) or install CWM/TWRP and flash a Rom-Zip. I'd prefer the later, but ICS would be much nicer already.

I do not know what the next step could be. As I cannot boot in Fastboot Mode, I am not sure, how to manage any of the two ways.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings OdlG

You don't necessarily need an unlocked bootloader (or a custom kernel, for that matter) to install recovery. I can't post a direct link as of now, but there are lots of threads about installing recovery on locked bootloaders here in XDA.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan7747:
Hi everybody,

I need help accessing backed up data of my Nexus 5. I have made several backups with CWM and I downloaded these backups as ZIPs to my desktop pc via Wifi with the Rom Manager App. Everything worked fine so i thought I was safe... big mistake. Because now I deleted the original backups from the phone, and the restore from the downloaded ZIPs is not working.

The problem is that all the ZIPs seem to be corrupted. I cannot open them for example with 7zip (sadly I didn't test that before) on my windows PC, and when I restore them in the recovery mode on the phone, CWM says: can't open (bad file). Strange is, that all the 5 downloaded ZIPs have all the exact size of 2 GB. That is unlikely, because I made these backups within several months, in my opinion the size of the backup should differ, because the data on the phone changed over time.

Can anybody tell me, how to get to the data within these ZIP files?

And why have all the CWM backups the same size? Is there something that limits this to 2 GB?

Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
It's better to use TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan7747:
For the future OK, but that does not help me getting to my data of the existing CWM backups... :(

I don't need to completely restore it on the phone, it would be enough to get to the media folder, to get some pics, and maybe to the call/SMS log and WhatsApp log.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
If you want your pics back, you won't get them from CWM backup, because nandroid backups do not backup camera pics.

Best solution is to use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
I am wondering how much of the Lollipop version of Android is being run from native code executables and how much is not.

But what about the whole OS?

Why not getting everything (also applications) as native code since the egg? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
I just feel the need to state my opinion, so here it is. I find it rude and poor form to promote or compare the virtues of another ROM when in the thread of a different ROM. I understand the temptation to point out features that may be working in other ROM's, but lately I feel this is getting out of hand. Am not going to point fingers but there are too many posts in all the lollipop threads stating the GPe port is better, has best battery, blah blah blah. I know I would have a hard time not taking offense to that if I were a developer. The last thing we need is for our developers to feel unappreciated.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] E90 Commie:
I agree with this. I have noticed it lately in many threads and it must stop. It had been great with some measurements of battery life and so forth but I have a feeling that it is easier to complain than to act.;)

To me, those "but the GPe is...." or "GPe provides this...." is very tiring and useless spamming of threads. No, I just don't care how stable GPe is when there's no Xposed Framework, which make it necessary to use a more configurable ROM.

I have two different LP ROMs on my devices now, Dirty Unicorns (C6833) and Validus (C6802) and both are stable, with decent battery life.

This is the first time I chime in on a thread like this at XDA but it must be said and blocked....

We received a lot of decent LP ROMs lately and that trend should continue, without a lot of complaining. Yes, report bugs to the developers but don't BASH the ROMs being "captain obvious" about the greatness of the GPe port!

YES, there are bugs to be found in other ROMs due to the early stage of development but let developers figure them out rather than discourage them.

I say KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK with the Lollipop ROMs!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
[MENTION=1547420]E90 Commie[/MENTION] I am glad to see I wasn't over reacting, I have started to reply to some of those posts only to second guess myself and delete them without sending. The last thing I wish to do is bicker, but I said what I felt needed to be said.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I have done this on occasion, but I have always qualified the comments, and aimed them at a specific user. You are right that we don't need "GPe port is the greatest" in every LP thread, and worse every page of those threads.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wtfhax:
To add to the rant, many doesn't seem to read or use the search function anymore. At least google it first or read the last post before posting the same questions or informations.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] knives of ice:
but if you have the GPe you really have no options but the stock rom. there is no development at all anymore that i can see. there is STILL no root for the 5.0 rom. from my limited searching i can't see another GPe phone or nexus device that doesn't have root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
[MENTION=3534362]blueether[/MENTION] has his GPe rooted using the system img. from DooMLoRD. I think the hard part would be unrooting if needed. Somebody reported blueether's tool for converting Sony custom ROMs for use on GPe recently worked for them with a 4.4.4 ROM. You could request some of the developers to support the GPe, originally on 4.4.4 there was something broke in CM and everyone lost interest, I had a GPe and tried to test and report bugs but didn't have much luck.
