Sheeesh this is getting ridiculous that there's maybe 2 out there and both companies look sketchy and they're in china and take weeks, maybe a month, to get (if they even will fit).

Whoever actually does finally mass produce one will make a killing on the leather backed G4 market. Maybe someone at one of the big guys like Spigen, UAG, Incipio, etc. will read this post and get off their butts and get some out there. I think I'm speaking for most of us when I say we don't want a bumper with a clear back so the leather is mushed inside and we can't feel it.
[G4 Accessories] psechler:
Just saw this one for the iphone. I'd love to see something like this instead of that silly frame thing from zdelco.

[G4 Accessories] tourbound129:
I'm with you. I don't want to hide the leather back either but would like some sort of protection on the corners. The profit margin has to be huge. I can't believe nobody has imported a couple thousand or so units, marked them up a couple bucks and made them available on Amazon with reasonable shipping times.
[G4 Accessories] Mega Montana:
Just got done searching for one myself before heading over here to this forum for any help...you took the words right out of my mouth (or keyboard I guess). I'm sure eventually there's going to be more options, but unbelievable just how few there are at the moment, considering the leather back is one of the biggest selling features of the phone.
[G4 Accessories] Maduro78:
I guess I'll have to switch to a plastic back of I want to use a bumper
[G4 Accessories] LancerV:
I dunno never seen a bumper provide any kinda protection so might as well go are
[G4 Accessories] kidcope06:
I had a metal bumper on my GSIII that took all sorts of abuse and kept the phone pristine. Why would you think it wouldn't provide protection?
[G4 Accessories] psechler:
Exactly.... as long as the bumper has nice corners and general layering and around the edge is fatter than the face and back by a few millimeters then your protected from drops. Unless of course you drop it on something sharp not flat which would be rare.

Ballistic made some cool cases imo that would be a nice bumper. The corners were thicker and overly fat, but the rest of the edges fit close to the phone so kept a slimmer feel.
[G4 Accessories] kidcope06:
Got my bumper, skinomi tech glass, and my black leather G4 yesterday and I'm happy to report they work together great. Bumper is a little snug but it certainly fits.

Here's the one i got.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/131517775534?_mwBanner=1
[G4 Accessories] tourbound129:
Was it tough to get it on? Is it so snug that you think it might damage or leave a mark in the leather? Convenient to take it on and off to swap batteries?
[G4 Accessories] kidcope06:
I wouldn't say it was very tough at all to put on but I would guess it's probably easier on a plastic back.

It may leave a depression in the leather after a year or so but I wouldn't guess that's likely.

I'm not sure what your threshold for convenience is so i can't guess. It won't bother me to take it off a couple times a week.
[G4 Accessories] tourbound129:
Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably order one to try it out.
[G4 Accessories] psechler:
How's the lip on it; does it look like it'll keep the glass from making contact? And also that weird looking white liner inside the bumper looked cheap. Is it fairly solid and even tho it's minimal will it provide some shock absorption ?
[G4 Accessories] fgcchevy:
Does the bumper affect WiFi or cell signal at all? Tia
[G4 Accessories] kidcope06:
Lip is good. It will keep the screen from touching when face down. The liner is certainly minimal. It's like a foam rubber band. It's probably not going to do any shock absorbing but it will keep the metal from rubbing on the plastic. Keep in mind this was only like $7.

[G4 Accessories] fatboypup:
:( sad panda everyone email them!
[G4 Accessories] psechler:
I sent them a good email, basically saying there missing out on a gold mine. Every leather G4 owner would prefer a high quality backless case.
[G4 Accessories] fatboypup:
I know right?!
[G4 Accessories] bowie2k3:
A wood bumper would be awesome, but even a simple TPU bumper would do
[G4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I think I finally found the bumper I'm looking for. It's rubber and flexible and only 4.99. I guess I'll find out in 2 to 4 weeks. Here's the link for others that were interested.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=381298599870&alt=web
[G4 Accessories] psechler:
I like that one. I ordered that VAOI Air Cushion Ex but I'm skeptical. That one looks nice; please post some pics when u get it.
[G4 Accessories] jmp485:
Ordered this one a week and a half ago

http://m.ebay.com/itm/281668798977?_mwBanner=1
[G4 Accessories] Joolz03:
Does this work with the G4? Doesn't seem to have the option for G4.
[G4 Accessories] jmp485:
It did have that option when I ordered but sure enough the package arrives today and they sent me the g3 case. Got a message to them asking for a refund or replacement
[G4 Accessories] Joolz03:
O man, that's a bummer.
[G4 Accessories] Im a troll:
Im on it
[G4 Accessories] wified:
I just received this same case. It fits perfectly on the plastic back cover. But it doesn't fit properly on the leather cover. Really has me bummed. Not enough protection from falls. The lip on the front of the case doesn't come around the screen enough, like it does with the plastic case. If you dropped it, the screen, especially the corners, would be in danger of damage. I have the wireless sticker inside the leather back, so I was really hoping that this would be the bumper that would allow me to feel the leather.

I guess we're left with the Demomm, if it ever gets released:

http://www.amazon.com/Bumper-Case-Shockproof-Smartphone-Compatible/dp/B00WKLDHU2

Or the VOIA, which is seriously backordered:

http://www.amazon.com/VOIA-Air-Shield-Bumper-Case/dp/B00XRG667A

Really wish Spigen would make a Neo Hybrid EX for our phone:

http://www.spigen.com/products/iphone-6-plus-case-neo-hybrid-ex?variant=1156465001
[G4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I finally got my bumpers today from ebay. I actually really like them. It allows me to set the phone face down without the screen hitting. The phone still wobbles on the back because of the curve, but the bumper is what's rocking now instead of the phone/camera itself. And of course the best part I can still feel the leather. You are right it probably won't protect as much from a drop like a case does, but I think that is the case with any bumper.
[G4 Accessories] wified:
Do you have both the plastic and the leather backs? This bumper fits perfectly over the plastic back, and the corners and screen are protected. But with the leather back the bumper barely makes it around the front of the phone, and lip or edge of the bumper that comes out from screen side of the bumper is almost non-existent. For me, the reason I want the bumper is to protect the phone, and this bumper just doesn't really protect the screen or the corners adequately with the leather back.
[G4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I only have the leather back. I mostly just want protection from setting my phone down on the front or back. If I wanted full on drop protection I would probably use a regular case.
[G4 Accessories] automaddux:
Just looked at these today, cheap with decent reviews. Since it's only a few bucks, I might jump on these and pay some pics when I get them in.
[G4 Accessories] Andrew025:
Received my cheapo eBay bumper. Pretty happy with it.

I wish the backside blended in a bit better instead of ending in an abrupt edge though.

Fits fine with the leather back.
[G4 Accessories] mer2329:
sorry for the necropost post but I need to say this

sugru

https://sugru.com/content/how-to-make-a-removeable-sugru-bumper-case-for-your-phone

you can also just put a small wad of sugru at each corner of the phone

fyi sugru is a rubber putty.
[G4 Accessories] neobdium:
TUDIA Full Matte ARCH TPU Bumper is the best!

I had the Neo Hybrid from spigen horrible case ruined my phone back then discolored edges

I had the circle case and is annoying in the car

I had a lot of silicon cases but the build quality was bad

[Android Software Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Sweet! Downloading now.

OK, took a couple tries to install (said device was "offline" the first two times), and it works. However, icons don't display. It just shows a generic file icon.
[Android Software Development] smart8bits:
It say what the ADB says! so I Think that's happened because of "USB debugging authorization".

and for the icons, Hi res icons shown in the software not in the windows shell explorer! but If I can find a fast way for that then ApkPopUp Include that feature for sure!

In this project, speed has highest priority for being something really usable.
[Android Software Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I thought since you were commenting on an app that shows APK icons in Explorer, that you were going to attempt the same thing.
[Android Software Development] smart8bits:
In fact I`m working on a bigger software that mastering apk files on pc and this is just a little part of that!

and a good news: I Find a good way to show Icons In explorer and added this feature as soon as possible but for now I`m Busy With final exams.:eek:

Awesome, sounds great! Take your time, man, I'm in school too, so I know how it is.

Hi guys, im testing a crashed galaxy s4, when i use a power supply to wake up pcb, this only give 0.100 Amperes when i try turn on the phone, at put off the buttom this come to 0. Logically is a pcb problem , but, is it possible to fix replacing some chip?,Or should i drop it.

Regards and Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Have you tried replacing the battery? I'm just thinking most phones won't turn on with a dead battery.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Wolfie1877:
Hi,

I upgraded to laurentis rom which has attached an extended rom. I was wondering if it is possible to disable this or remove it from the xda exec? Any help is appreciated

cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] CWKJ:
Just remove the ms_.nbf in the directory before upgrade.

That is you need to have nk.nbf is enough.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Wolfie1877:
Thanks, i have tried this and it still remains??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mo3ulla:
flash this http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/827961/ms_.rar

this is the empty extrom from ivan v4 firmware
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] CWKJ:
That is because your previous flash of ext rom is still there.

You should get the blank/empty ms_.nbf to be flash together or you flash back your original rom to get back you original ext rom and flash the new nk.nbf only.

Hope you understand what I am trying to say.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Are you trying to remove it from the Uni, or just prevent it from being installed.

You can hide/unhide, rename, protect and unprotect the extended rom through the registry.

Sorted!!

Thanks for all your replies!! I used the blank rom from ivans. It has disappeared now.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jeffreynew23:
I notice that there was a thread about coming back from the s6 edge. Well I also came back from the g4. It wasn't a significant upgrade. The leather was nice, really nice. So was the camera. But my Note is perfect. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pipergca:
I've been debating trying the G4 for the last week! I can't decide what to do.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jeffreynew23:
I tried it for 3 days.

I have several Samsung TVS throughout the house and use the IR Blaster feature plenty. The IR Blaster on the g4 is very weak. You have to be right in front of the tv. I don't use S Pen much but realized that it was good to know that it was there. Overall, the Note just felt more complete to me. Plus I know that I will get the Note 5, so there really wasn't a need for me to invest in the g4 right now. It is a beautiful phone though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pipergca:
Thanks for the insights!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
Coolio lol I couldn't leave my phone for the g4. It does look really nice tho! And the screen is much improved from the g3s ugly blacks. But not as good as AMOLED BABY!! Pure crisp colors
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Simplyeduardo:
same here i was debating on which one to get. but stuck with my note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Archaenon:
I want to try the G4, just to see what it's like, but I think I'm going to go Sony soon.

I love my G4, but I haven't found much to do with it lately, hopefully the Note 5 will be amazing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chocolatet:
I tried for 3 weeks. I really wanted to like it. The leather,the better selfie camera, the selfie functions. But not having root, and always feeling like i was missing something. i did submit for all the free stuff. That was another reason. It says here thanks for buying our phone here is some free stuff you might enjoy. Samsung Hasnt done that so I'm waiting to here about about the note 5 if it is non removable battery and no SD card I will go back to the g4 no question. And then I'll have the extra battery waiting for me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] seh6183:
It won't have a removable battery so you may as well jump ship now. Or you could invest in a few of the tousand different ways there are to charge a battery and not worry about it. Theres always that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gharris040604:
Came back from the g4 also, I'll just hold on to my nexus 6 and N4 for the foreseeable future.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] masri1987:
I moved on to the S6, but still have my N4, been jumping back and forth, enjoying smaller form factor one-handed use again, enjoying the insane performance of the CPU and the camera, but miss the real estate of the n4, hence my constant swapping
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DConrad2010:
I came from the Note 3 and after reading all the reviews about the G4 i took advantage of T-Mobile's Jump program and upgraded to the G4. Big mistake. Don't get me wrong the phone is beautiful and lightweight, but the phone gets hot for no reason, I get Android. process has stopped error message frequently. And all but not least no root options yet after 3 weeks of it's release. I normally don't buy a device on its first day of release but i thought this was the one. Took it back to T-Mobile yesterday to see if I could trade it for a Note 4 or Edge but it was past the 14 day return policy. I ordered a new unlocked Note 4 from eBay last night so i hope to just pop my sim from my G4 into the Note 4 when it gets here and wait for a root option and then custom rom. Also battery for the G4 is good until it starts draining after 90% and then it goes downhill from there.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
I just updated to the new lollipop update for the T-Mobile z3. And I guess I had the port open a little because I got a popup warning telling me the port was open and to close it to restore water proofing. Wish I got a screenshot of it because I haven't gotten it to show up again and seems like an awesome new feature to protect our phones! Anyone else?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id3alistic:
It's not a new feature. That happens when you first get your phone or after factory reset. It's a warning that you can turn off when a flap is open.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
It was soon after I installed the update. I hadn't wiped anything. Is there a way to keep that on? I'd like to keep that warning. Also it was the first time I've ever seen that on this phone. Never on kk even after wiping multiple times
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
I'm well aware I'm posting this in the Moto G forum. :)

Amazon has the Moto G LTE for just under $200. They also have unlocked/new AT&T G2's for $200 to $220 (we use Cricket). There are things I like about both, for different reasons, so I'm asking the Moto G community to tell me why you would pick the G over the G2 - or not?

TIA

This might be slightly biased but moto g 4g any day for me all my Mobiles have been moto from the defy,atrix,RAZR I now moto g 4g
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
Here's where I'm at so far... and ultimately it will depend on how important each factor is to me I guess.

Camera: G2

Battery: I think the G might be better, but the G2 is obviously solid

Screen: G2

Processor / Speed: G2, but the G holds it's own thanks to good software.

Size / feel: I like the size of both. I like the grippier feel of the G and the fact it's easier to use with one hand. I wouldn't need a case with the G, I feel the need for one with the G2

Speaker: G

"Freedom": G... no carrier branding, can unlock bootloader, updates from Moto. My G2 is AT&T, so I have to pop an AT&T sim in to get updates

Dev Support: strong for both... but there doesn't appear to be near as much for the peregrine as the falcon, which is disappointing, unless I'm missing something? It would be great to turn the G into GPE or use an official / stable build of CM on it.

Future Proof: Well, spec-wise the G2. Software-wise I think they're in the same boat given their age.

Other: Splash resistance on the G is nice; double tap to wake the G2 is nice

Cost: Both are around $200 on Amazon, the G2 averaging about $20 more.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekz2:
Hi

this is the situation:

Nexus S rom stock/ not rooted

For unknow reason now it ask a pin code for decrypt storage.

If I go on bootloader I can't move on menu with vol+/vol- ;

I'm not sure but I think the power button is always on.

If I connect by usb windows not detect (or partially) the phone

(I must make more test for understand if I use correct drivers)

My last chance is Jig and put it in download mode.

The question is:

If I put it on download mode, can I partially flash without losing photo(dcim folder) and

access by usb?

Hello, i just updated my mother's T2 dual to lollipop. I noticed this little key icon on the top right corner of notif. shade, which i think there's should be signal icons on it. Does anybody know what's that meant? And how to get rid of it?

Here's the pic of it
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rrd84:
meaning of that icon is that, your device network is being monitored,

some app(s), like firewall, antivirus, or something, is controlling device network.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmura:
For some reason my LG G3 D851 with stock 5.0.1 from T-Mobile keeps restarting when I use the camera.

Usually happens on Snapchat..sometimes within a few seconds or half a minute or not at all.

It's random. Crashes sometimes when I use my camera and rarely when I just use the phone regularly.

Any idea why this is happening? It's very annoying.

[Sony Xperia ZL] sachinmtk:
This might be too much to ask for, but is there any chance of getting Android M on XZL? 'Cause the "Now on Tap" seems like a pretty dope feature. Hopeless waiting is a pain.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kt-Froggy:
You think?!? :D Yeah, keep dreaming! Jokes aside, it's exciting to hear the news about confirmed 5.1 upgrade, but I am definitely not expecting the M. But... Who knows, life's full of surprises...
[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
Waiting for CM13.. :p
[Sony Xperia ZL] kt-Froggy:
Yeah, that's always an option. But many people (myself included) prefer stock ROMs. I always root it, debloat myself, and tweak to my heart's content with Xposed. CM is not everyone's cup of tea (same goes for stock, needless to say). :)

Calm down yer horses, first let's get Android 5.1 for our XZL.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htb2050:
My phones battery decided to increase in size for the last two days and now i have replaced it. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do in the future to avoid it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 31aces:
Ya my note 3 did the same thing, i thought it was tye battery caz of the 8 dollar price. That is the conclusion i came up with too the phone was never really hot and 2 of those batteries swelled up making them unusable. I did upgrade the battery didnt have any more swell. I would like to know how that does happen though, i thought i was the onlu person that ran into this im glad read this post and hopefully can get an answer as im very curious if it was the type of battery or if was kernel. I cant remember the kernel i had but thought might be from putting too much speed in my rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htb2050:
Yeah. I want to know this too. These days i have been swapping between stock and cm 12.1 and on stock the battery amp ranges from 1200mah to 1800mah but on cm12.1 it always stayed at 1800mah and also phone got hot. It may be due to that or it may be because discharged this battery once to zero and then recharged it to 100 and then jump charged a couple of times. A lot of factors and this one was abused a lot :D so I can't put my finger on exactly what I did that caused this.
