[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monza1412:
Yes, that's the flex part. Can't tell if the ones sold in eBay/amazon are the original or OEM parts, you should check the feedback/buyer's reviews.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quickfire:
Thanks for the help. Sadly none of the well-reviewed sellers on Amazon ship to my country, so I got it off eBay... one of the sellers with 98%+ ratings. The thing with eBay is that there are so many sellers with these 98/99% ratings that kind of just defeat the purpose of the ratings, and these same sellers DO sell fakes too. But I just got one and hope it works.

The screen just gets worse and worse each day. My phone is now unusable after about 1 minute of use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyverran:
I have the same issue and the flex cable replacement didn't work for me...it flickers in Safe Mode, after a reset and with Android 6 or 5, both of which I flashed from Googles download page.

Interestingly it doesn't flicker in recovery...

Stability Test app gave no screen problems testing the CPU, but flickered like a mad thing testing the GPU..

GPU Benchmark 3D however was super smooth and flicker free...very confusing.

Have you had any luck finding a solution?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Flash-A-Holic:
I would like to buy another original back cover for my Mi4C. I know that is not supposed to be like Swap Covers on OPO and OP2 but does anyone know if those covers are available somewhere? Or does Mi4i back covers fit perfectly with Mi4C? What I mean when I talk about "original back cover" is this:

[IMG="Mi4C teardown (back cover)"]http://www.xiaomifans.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Xiaomi-Mi4c-teardown.jpg[/IMG]

EDIT: So I found a red back cover for my Mi4C. You can find plenty of them from aliexpress. I also did the DIY qwerty phone mod. Check out from here: Qwerty Keyboard Slider [DIY]

My final target is DIY qwerty phone. I already bought iPhone 6 bluetooth qwerty case since iPhone 6 and Mi4C share almost same dimensions and camera is located in same place. If I can find original back cover I'm going to cut the edges from iPhone 6 qwerty case and glue the Mi4C back cover to it. Then I have perfect qwerty slider Android phone (Yeah, BlacBerry Priv slides out wrong way). If I cannot find original back cover for Mi4C I have to use some third party case/cover which make whole package little bit thicker and bigger. I believe that the total dimension with Mi4C and iPhone 6 qwerty case would be something like 139x70x14mm. Not bad at all :good:

iPhone 6 qwerty case:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
I'm interested in this item, too.

An internet search gave me just covers that go above the original one and not substitute it.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Flash-A-Holic:
No luck here also. I have even tried to find cheap and broken Mi4i for testing if the back cover/panel suits for Mi4C. I just cannot find any...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kevinnol:
No luck here either...

The Mi4i case has the same dimensions so it should fit easily, the ir blaster would be blocked though
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Flash-A-Holic:
Some hope here! Someone at MIUI forum claimed that you can buy a black replacement back panel for Mi4i for 900rs (under 15$) from the service center. I emailed Xiaomi about this and asked if this is only possible in India or international also. No reply yet.

I believe that it would be easy job to drill hole for IR blaster

EDIT: Xiaomi EU didn't give me a proper answer but I contacted Xiaomi India. They said that only Indian or Chinese customers can buy those back panels from the service center. Xiaomi doesn't sell those panels in online shop, only in physical service center. So we need Asian friend if we want those back panels...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kevinnol:
AH cmon.... it's just a Back Cover-.-

Thanks for the info though, maybe we could ask some reseller e.g. IbuyGou, honorbuy etc. - the price will probably be higher but it's worth a shot
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
Finally found the place

After many hours of search I finally found the site where you can get new covers.

And I mean the original battery cover... In all 5 colors...

I'll post the link in a few minutes...

By the way, why does xiaomi say the cover is not removable?

Its easier to remove than my previous lumia 625 which is quoted as removable.

And the battery is also removable. It's all good news!

:cool::D
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] coldhart112:
Can I have link for back covers please I been looking everywhere!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
Hi everyone

Regarding the link I'm just waiting for an answer, once I receive it i'll post it.

Regarding the reason why it is not available to all of us, it's easy... This phone hasnt yet been released in european market by xiaomi... so... There is no reason for them to release spare parts in europe for a model that was only released in China and India by xiaomi itself. We have a mi4c due to the resellers not due to xiaomi. And thats why its no so easy to find a cover to our phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
So, to everyone like me that was Searching and could find nothing, here is the place se were looking for:

http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32520951859.html

I'm ordering mine today...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kevinnol:
Finally! thanks :)

although I'm always cautious when ordering on aliexpress but since it's the only seller no choice I guess.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Andiii:
So if i will recieve the back cover (which i have just ordered) i am glad to finaly get the yellow mi4c i had ever wanted. Because the Shop where bought my phone only sold the white Version. Fingers crossed....

Mi4c (Tapatalk)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
What will you use to take off the original cover? I saw Hugo Barra's video using a kind of plastic tool with a cusp...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Andiii:
i bought this one years before:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B001GLZGEC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

and i will try the "blue" tools if needed. But it seems not to be necessary: see this Mi4c teardown
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
I believe this is the only place where se can get this at the moment... But with this phones popularity in no time there will be many more...

In my case, as I dont have any of those tools I just used my usual tool... A knife. It came out so easily that I dont understand why it says its not removable... No scratches... Cant wait for my gray cover to arrive... :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rosi91:
can someone post a picture of the back of the phone without the cover? thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
If someone gets the battery cover before me, let me know if it feels just like the original ones... I'll do the same if mine arrives first... Also ordered a slim armor case to protect when I receive it... Cant wait...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
I'd love if the spare covers would be less slippery than original one; man, this thing is like a piece of soap!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
Indeed... Until now mine hasnt fall yet... But for a few times it almost did... And each time that almost happens, my heart stops and even though it didnt fall I start saying some ugly words... Releasing the stress... Lool

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

And I realized that my mi4c is gonna get gray... With a white sim card tray... Nice huh?!
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
Damn, are you serious? The spare cover doesn't include the SIM tray?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
I didnt think about that until I saw that the covers seller also has sim card trays on sale... So, I guess not... Anyway it costs something like 11€... I prefer to stick with the white tray than paying 11€ for that little piece of **** that should come with the cover... Maybe I'll paint it myself...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] kevinnol:
damn 11€? wow rip off

I'd rather live with a white tray
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] GrimDemon:
Dude, Samsung Galaxy original cover is like a soap. Xiaomi is like paper xompared to Galaxy ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] umbypsb18:
Is it original?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
They should not be originals as Xiaomi quotes this phone's cover as non removable.

Anyway they come from china... just like xiaomi's:)

When I receive mine (can´t wait to turn my baby to gray) i'll post my impressions here...

Also bought an external cover and a tempered glass...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] umbypsb18:
Great, i'll wait your impression then! Thanks :p
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] clewis:
I've brought a white one from the same page, I'll let you guys know when I get mine.

I have a weird blue stain on my standard one. I put it on an outside table and when I picked it up it had loads of blue stains on it! Tried getting them of with various methods that have helped but you can still see it in some lights and it annoys the hell out of me.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Yeah, waiting for reviews because i want to buy a black cover :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] ngolebaoyen:
Same here, I looking for an original black back cover for my mi 4c. Hope they will release some :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
Also had problems with my white cover. Bought a cover to protect it and after 10 minutes inside the cover, the back of the phone was almost completely black also... Like if I had painted with a pencil... And I tried everything to take it off unsuccessfully. Wanted to kill the men on the store but how could he know.

Since then I dont know how... It's disappearing and it's almost completely white again.

It's really weird how this happens.

I've been reading about polycarbonate and it looks like it's a very special type of plastic. Very sensitive and requires some special care.

That's why now I bought a tpu cover :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
And just to inform you guys in case you dont know, because I thought the same when I ordered my cover... There is no black color option. The one we see in pics is the gray... Dark gray.

I also asked for a black one and they told me there was no black mi4c. After that I've searched and they are right... It's gray... Then I ordered it ")
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Yeah, i know :D but i say black :D
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
Did anyone have a chance to receive and use the spare cover?

I just noticed that my white one begins to look worn at the angles.

What do you guys think of this product? Could I make it with it? http://it.aliexpress.com/item/Back-...5479.html?isOrigTitle=true&isOrig=true#extend
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
I'm still waiting for mine... Dark gray... It probably will arrive during this week.

I had seen that white one on sale... and looks like the original so, why not? And it's cheaper but in my case I always wanted to have the gray version which was not available when I bought the fone.

Anyway if it arrives... I'll leave a word in here...

But the link I posted says the item is not available anymore... Is it possible that they had problems with xiaomi?

Xiaomi says it's not removable and they sell the back cover...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] josef19:
I had a white unit and a black gray and i changed between them, wasn't easy to take it off but I successed:)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Where did you buy it?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Hubaqu:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] josef19:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Romanist10:
I asked the seller and he replied that the cover comes with SIM card tray.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Now thats a good news :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
Thank god that more and more stuff is appearing... But I believe the most part of people here has bought it already... At higher cost unfortunately as there were no options... Anyway, did anyone received it yet to post a review about it?

I already received the back protector cover and the tempered glass... Only still waiting for the battery cover to arrive...
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Giocarro:
I'd be interested to know whether the dark gray battery cover is less slippery than the white one, or not.

Right now I'm kinda forced to use a bumper because the white cover is so slippery that the phone was about to fall from my hands a couple of times, and with the bumper this doesn't happen anymore.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Romanist10:
I dont know how slippy is white but black one(its not actually black, some other colour) is very slippy. I'm waiting for my case and hoping I wont drop it.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-co..._77_80_61,searchweb201644_0,searchweb201560_3

Would you like gold one?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] siul_lasc:
OMG!!!!!!

The gold one looks so nice... This way I'm probably going to buy another back to my baby... It's really nice :good:

Also for half the price I payed for my gray back... Oh well, I don't want to think about that lool

On the other side the dark gray one with dark logo does not look so nice as the one I bought :P
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
I'm still waiting for a wooden one like for mi4
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] juankar7:

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Romanist10:
Could you explain pls? I could not get you.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Eitsthebeat:
I got my black back cover today, it's not a real xiaomi back cover I guess (the glass from the camera flash and MI logo looks different from the original)

But the quality is fine and the backcover feels kinda the same as the original, so I'm happy :)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] sHoa:
i smashed my mi4c yesterday, so i ordert 2 pieces.

Does yours fit perfect 100%?

Will report when my new backcover are tested :=)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Andiii:
mini was stuck at customs (in China) - but i got it refunded in the meantime
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Eitsthebeat:

Not it really easy i just started down on the usb port and than slowly the 4 corners

Someone know if an original wood back cover exist ?

i ordered 2 from ebay, eta around May 5. i need to ask however, i tried opening carefully with my hands the back cover and it doesn't seem very removable... do i need any tools ? i worry i may damage my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] makakam:
When I ordered mine a disassembly tool was included. The cover went off without any problems, I started at the bottom with the USB port hole and then the corners. I didnt damage my phone although I wasnt very careful ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] antony84:
Hi people,

sorry but i'm a bit confused.

Is there a battery cover that is real black (not dark grey as original) and that is no slippery as original?

If yes, could you tell me where i can buy it?

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

It seems real black and not dark grey, it's true?

Is it slippery as orginal one or not?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] alexvv:
the 2 pieces i ordered arrived (pretty soon by the way), i bought them from ebay for 7 euro each. mine were a navy blue and a red one of which the latter didn't work properly. the buttons had a poor tactile feedback. the blue is just fine, you can tell it's not authentic and doesn't seem it can last more than a few months but my phone finally has some character ! :p the sim trey didn't work in either of them, so i use the original grey one. i replaced them using the iphone repair kit, there is no other way of doing it properly.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

i don't think you can find a real black cover... they are a little bit less slippery than the dark grey original but not much of a change. you can find many sellers in ebay or aliexpress.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dan0063:
I ordered a red cover from this seller http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1801148 and I am very satisfied, it has nice soft touch finish, the buttons and the cutouts are well made and the sim tray fits into the phone without any problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] sarvigalava:
Could you update the link pls ?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] dan0063:
Here's the link to the product itself http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...d-protective-case-for-xiaomi/32583369239.html The problem I have is after just several days of use, I can see the soft touch finish peeling off at the corners, so don't expect amazing durability from this case.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] krist2an:
I ordered a white case from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...d-protective-case-for-xiaomi/32584959170.html

TBH I wasn't satisfied with it at all. It had a yellowish mark on one corner, the edges were very rough, the buttons were too much inside the body (it was hard to press them) and what was the worst - it broke when I put it on. It was made out of so soft plastic that it actually teared from some places. So I put my original gray one back on.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] solis_f:
I got the dark grey cover but I really want to try the white one now! Can someone who already bought white, recommend me a good seller? Thanks in advance!

Back plate not rubber case! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] h4waii:
FYI, in case anybody is wondering -- I ordered 5 different color replacement backs off of AliExpress, ~$3 each. The colors are all quite nice and they fit perfectly. I'm very satisfied with them, though I wish the soft touch material was more grippy like the back of the Nexus 5. They all came with matching SIM trays and a cheap plastic screen protector. All except the white and stock are matte. So if you want an actual black back, this is a good one.

so I'm looking to upgrade from the s3 and was wondering what the next phone would be? Are people sticking with Samsung devices or has anybody branched out to LG or HT has anybody branched out to LG or HTC?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
yup. went from my beloved-can-not-kill S3 to a htconem8. way too freakin much money , though they are cheaper now. fast as heck but poor battery life without tweaking. (heavy user here). if had to do all over , i swear i would get another S3 from online or swappa , etc. just my opinion.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I agree with [MENTION=5511100]mrrocketdog[/MENTION] about thinking hard about picking up a used sgs3/i747 if the need arises.

Based only on reading a review or two, for a new phone I would give serious consideration to an LG V10, once the price drops.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
If not for my current phone, lg g3, I would look at the Moto X Pure Edition if you don't mind a big screen. Baseline starts at $399, fully unlocked and works on all carriers (CDMA like Verizon even), and Moto is supporting unlocking bootloaders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I liked what I read about the Moto X Pure/Style.

Having had the GalaxyS Captivate as my first Android and still using the SGS3 I like having a removable battery and an external sdcard slot. Those specs are a large part of what attracts me to the V10.

http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-announces-the-v10-dual-front-camera-dual-display/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
The lack of removable battery on the Moto is the only thing that gave me pause. Memory is expandable so it would not be so bad. All things considered, phone options with removable batteries are getting slim. I personally hate it because while I understand it helps keep the phones slimmed down some, it also means no spare backups or simple replacement of a defective or worn out battery.

i recently got a vista laptop and so far has numerous times encoutered this error wherein i had to recreate my sync partnership only to delete again the partnership and recreate it.
