Use the dbrand chamfer skin, the bumper doesn't damage it at all as it only cover's the back and not the chamfers
[HTC 10 Accessories] guyverzero:
Yeah I'd imagine using that would be the best scenario, unfortunately slickwraps doesn't come with a non-full coverage option (at least not if you want Voltron on the back of your phone)
[HTC 10 Accessories] huntb:
Pics anyone?
[HTC 10 Accessories] BubooBear:
I'll be receiving the case shortly. Pics soon to follow.
[HTC 10 Accessories] guyverzero:
I'll try to take pics tonight with another phone and put them up. Other than the crappy buttons (which can't be seen in pics) I love it so far.

But unfortunately I don't know if the buttons will get any better with time. The power button has relaxed juuuuust a bit, but the volume ones are still extremely hard to press for me
[HTC 10 Accessories] guyverzero:
Here are some pics, tried to show the lip on both sides. One thing that I forgot to mention on the plusses of this phone is that the case seems to impact audio volume, raising it higher than the previous max. The way they designed it was awesome, as audio volume was one of my complaints on this phone

As for the front facing touch of silver....I'm not the most fond of it, but it does add a touch of style (just not my style). I'd imagine if you have a black phone it's fine though
[HTC 10 Accessories] BubooBear:
Looks pretty good to me... im so mad that amazon shipping service lost my package... now i have to wait for them to call me back.
[HTC 10 Accessories] huntb:
Can you post a couple of pics showing what the back of the phone looks like? Looks good so far, thanks

I ordered that hunk a junk case and sent it right back. Felt like a toy
[HTC 10 Accessories] jmwils3:
Are these any third party sellers for devilcase? I love the look, but they want almost as much for shipping to USA as they do for the case itself.
[HTC 10 Accessories] rdmack:
I ordered the rhinoshield case.

Just going to add my 2 pence worth.

The case fits well, fits easily too. Lifts the screen and the camera bump off the table, so it won't be resting on it. I prefer the style to a full case. The USB and headphone jacks aren't impeded at all. The bottom speaker is unimpeded too.

Negatives, the buttons are hard to press. I expect they'll become easier to use with time. It does make the phone feel really wide. I used to be able to type 1 handed, not anymore.

Pic is comparing to the Spigen case I have too
[HTC 10 Accessories] guyverzero:
My rhinoshield has recently begun to crack right in front of the usb port....I don't have another phone to take a picture right now, but I will try to later. I've had the thing for a very short amount of time so I'm gonna try to contact the company and see if I can get a replacement. Hopefully they've done a second version or made some changes that'll make the button presses easier by now
[HTC 10 Accessories] rdmack:
I'll be sure to look out for any cracking in this one. It's pretty new to me, but the longer term test is what they need.

I expect they'd have any v2 if this was a common fault
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
I like this style.. may be perfect for what I would like.. anyone have any reviews on it?

I also saw a post about shipping.. anyone find one cheaper to get to the US ?

Thanks.
[HTC 10 Accessories] jmwils3:
I actually got my devilcase in red from Amazon, like $43 with free prime shipping. Not as cheap as on the device, but the shipping costs and speed of delivery made it worth it. Only got it yesterday, and while the buttons aren't the most tactile, they're miles better than rhinoshield, and i love the feel in hand.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
Thanks for review... :good: i'm still thinking about this case.. but paying > $50 is just really not something i could probably let myself do... :eek::eek::eek::eek:

right now i'm using my Spigen that i cut the rubber back off.. [IMG="where i made the cuts.."]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25723662/Images%20for%20sites/spigen-neo-hybrid-htc-10-%20where%20cut.png[/IMG]so its like a bumper... but still kinda slick with just the metal sides and the metal back of phone..

so its why i'm curious on the devilcase how much grip it would have..

i'm also still searching for any other possibilities..
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
here is how it looks.

cut spigen
[HTC 10 Accessories] richii0207:
Be aware that Devilcase hurts your reception. You may not even get reception anymore at places where you had 1 bar before.

In terms of the rhinoshield. I ended up returning it because I felt it could have fit better. The area where the audio jack is has a gap and the side of the buttons move inward when you press the buttons. Also, the ends of the cases had some jagged strips where the case was cut, something that uag also does.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
Thanks!

I had heard that about Devilcase and reception.. nice to hear others have issues.

and interesting about Rhinoshield... but good to know from experience.. makes me glad I haven't purchased it.
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
finished cutting my Poetic case.. middle exposes back.. but still have grip. ?
[HTC 10 Accessories] KOLIOSIS:
I found my Poetic case to be quite difficult to remove,so,I made a relief cut in each corner @ a 45' angle,made a huge difference,yet,the case is still snug enough to not affect it adversely.

With the back cut out of yours,has it made removal any easier?
[HTC 10 Accessories] Jaws4God:
i never had issues removing it. I mean its a nice snug fit but def was not difficult. the only issues i had was headphone opening was too small for some larger plugs. and that I couldn't feel the metal back. [emoji1]

Just root it with sokkobans method -.- you mess up your device with stuff like this. So pls don't do it.
[P8lite General] amarildo.rajta:
I wasn't going to do it, that's why I opened this thread to ask if someone already had tried it. I surely know that this, Kingroot and others, are highly risky as it can lead to bootloops, hard or soft bricks.

And I was hoping to skip the bootloader unlocking =D .

By the way, can you link me that sokkobans method? Did you you tried that by yourself?
[P8lite General] Azaradel:
You can install Sokkoban's deodexed custom ROM or install SuperSU by TWRP but as first version 2.62 and the anyone you want.

Yeah, stay away from kingroot if you can.

I have just tried the method you linked at the top (with a PC) it does

not work

. What is more it installs three one click apps which I don't need (cleaners etc.) The other problem is that the whole application / program is mostly in Chinese ideograms which are alien-speak to me, so I don't want to risk more so I immediately uninstalled the PC program and the apps. Anyway it does not work for me.

used 3.0.2-2 a few times, and it doesn't seem to work well with roms that install via Aroma. it always hangs up when using Aroma. (G900T)

I do like that I can transfer files from my PC via USB while in TWRP though! Also basic operations (factory resets, wipe cache, dalvik, etc) seem to be much faster than 2.8.x

Not quite ready for prime time for me yet, but looks like a step in the right direction.

figured out the problem. the files L20-map_down.png and P20-map_down.png included in the posted cab are corrupt that's why the keys don't light up when you select them. In order to fix this problem, you have to download the OEM version of the keyboard and replace the files I listed above with the one located in the OEM version.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da6d:
Hello,

I've been scouring these forums for a hot minute, spent about 6 hours last night alone trying to solve this. I've found a ton of useful information that's helped me get to where i am now.

Verizon SM-N900V Galaxy Note 3

5.0 Lolliop

build is OF1

So here's the issue: from a completely fresh ODIN flashed stock rom, wiped factory reset with volume up, power and home. When phone finally rebooted, it wouldn't activate. Called verizon, sent activation signal, phone activated and had 4G LTE. No problems. Power cycled phone for something, boots up and has no signal. IMEI is showing null/unknown. Phone has never had a custom rom or anything flashed to it before I did the stock rom flash most recently. (OTA wasn't working, kies wasn't working, etc.) I've done a ton of research, and it appears somewhere down the line my EFS partition became corrupt or some form of jacked up.

Last night, I attempted a fix i found so the phone is now rooted on stock rom, with supersu and busybox, all verified by EFS Pro. Unfortunately, I can't use any of the Qualcomm tools as it just says "phone not connected!" everytime i try. The EFS side of it reads everything just fine, let me play with samsung tools options and what not.

So currently the phone is fully activated, has signal and everything, I've backed up the EFS while its working properly.

What can i do?

I appreciate any help in advance.

Look on your main phone under the Verizon app the one you can check data upgrades ect. See if your note 3 is activated. You should be able to activate it yourself it may be suspended.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayidhs:
Hello everyone,

I've had my G3 D855 which I have been using for 16 months. Bought it brand new on eBay and everything was going well until a month ago when the screen flickering began.

Tried every trick on YouTube or Google but from last week, it got so bad that I'll be lucky to have it working for 5 minutes in 24 hours.

Being a tech enthusiast, I decided to take the bull by the horn. I decided to either end up fixing it or giving it a proper burial.

After careful and logical study of hardware and software, I reached a conclusion that the problem is hardware related.

Which took me to options like ambience sensor, screen connector, battery, processor among others.

Started by eliminating the suspects from the ones easier to handle like battery, inspection of screen connector and flex etc.

SOLUTION

I do recall that many people recorded success with using paper or any other thing to press down the connectors for camera and ambience/proximity sensors (which in turn adds pressure to the big chip at the back(processor).

Since my phone has fallen countless times (at times from a distance), I assumed some components must have partially detached from the motherboard and cause the issue.

So I got a friend's soldering rework station heat gun and soldering paste.

1. Applied paste to the two connectors for the screen as shown on the first image below and reheated them properly then allowed it to cool.

2. Applied paste generously to the main chip(processor) as shown on the second image below and fired it up before letting it also cool down.

Remember that my screen refused to open throughout the day, haven't been able to use it for almost three days. Once I coupled it and started, walah! :laugh:

Not a flicker, not even once and I'm 13 hours still counting but I believe the problem has been fixed (fingers crossed lol) + I used the phone to type and send this.

I advise you try it but be careful not to shift or move the components being heated so as not to displace them and also reach out to as many people as possible cos there are thousands with the issue and I didn't make a video for YouTube as I didn't know it'll work.

So, good luck to you all:good::good::good:

NB:

Just posted a VIDEO https://youtu.be/tP0ds01ML9I

Please if this works for you or someone else, do leave a comment. Also, if you run into any issue(s), let me know so we'll work it out.

Don't know if the moderators can care to make this thread sticky, it's too valuable to be buried down the heap...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siredux:
So maybe this flickering issue is due to CPU/GPU overheat, thermal paste appliance seems to be a good option... I'll get my hands on a G3's motherboard with this issue and apply this mod. Will post the results :good:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayidhs:
Not just putting thermal paste but heating the processor back is the key
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayidhs:
My advise to those who don't have heat gun or soldering paste is to go to any good technian who has a heat gun in his workshop and let him do it for you. Just show him the places and give him something when he's through. If he's a phone repair person, all the better as he'll know the best technique to apply.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgess_boy:
People have had success baking the motherboard in the oven for 10 minutes to fix potential soldering issues with components. At the moment I have used the piece of paper method and it has worked great but will need to use a more permanent method as I plan on selling it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman4701:
I've tried the paper method on the adapter near the camera, and, now the display works fine , but my wifi signal strength is lowered. I used to get an excellent signal strength on using wifi at any rooms in my home but now I get excellent signal strength only when I am using wifi near my router. :confused:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pieddog:
This sounds very promising and I'm very eager to try this! But I am unfortunately confused, where exactly am I putting the paste on these 3 parts? :eek:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayidhs:
You'll put the paste over the connectors and the edges where the connectors are soldered to the motherboard then heat.

As for the processor, you put a good amount right on it & as you heat the processor, the paste will melt and drop on the side of the processor to enhance the contact with the motherboard.

ie. You'll put the paste right in the area I circled with red on the attachment pics above.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pieddog:
Hmm okay thanks, I'll have to go buy a heat gun, they seem pretty cheap. Hopefully I can get this done over the weekend, will report back :)

Hi Zayid!

I dont have a heat station, just a cheap hand heat gun, would that work? Ive 2 heat settings and 2 airflow settings only, low and high for both, what you recommend? Also do you need to remove the aliminum shield that covers the SoC area? Thanks!﻿
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zayidhs:
Hello,

You'll have to use high settings on both but it'll be for as long as the heat will suffice. You should know the time needed or you can get a spoilt radio or PC open it, then time yourself heating any chip that is identical to the SoC while using a screw driver to slightly push it till it can be removed that will be the time required to heat your phone's CPU.

No need to remove the aluminium.

Please when heating your phone's CPU, don't prod, touch or poke it so as not to displace the alignment of solder contacts.

Can confirm that I did the oven method (10 mins at 180C and then 10 minutes to cool) and everything is working perfectly again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenhardware:
This sounds like a good fix (finally!). When watching one of many videos with very little context, I noticed that video poster literally MOVED the chip he was heating with a thin-tube heat gun; as such, super-extra cautions are in order about this for those not used to working with surface-mount chips (me!). Since the success life appears to be long I'm going to do this myself, however I'll FIRST be using my heat gun to heat a throw-away chip from my junk box and a laser-temperature gauge to see how long it takes for the chip to rise to 220 Celsius or so and how to keep it there for the 5-ish minutes it takes to reseat the chip (see the Wikipedia entry for reflow-soldering).

As an aside from a not-TOO-knowledgeable reader, the flux paste is probably not necessary, just the reflow of the solder (since solder is already on "both sides" of the to-be-fixed solder joint).

[note - many of the "fixes" that don't seem to last very long have to do with pressure. As someone else noted, this could be a temporary fix simply because the pressure is causing mini-warping that reseats a broken solder joint]
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_Donatto:
baked, lasted a month

Baked mine for 200?C, 7 minutes., worked great for 1 month, and then it started again.

Baked again for 200°C and 8 minutes, now its completely dead, unresponsive like it had no battery.

I'll think I might just bake it again this week before buying a new motherboard.

Any thoughts?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokenhardware:
I finally decided NOT to try cooking the motherboard with a heatgun since the phone died before I got to it - went from intermittent horizontal lines and fading to black to rapid on boot fading to black to had-to-reboot to recover from fade to black to being dead totally.

So I got a Claim ticket and sent it back (with $75 deductible) to the insurance company (Squaretrade) instead; a couple weeks later they sent back the same phone with a new motherboard (and new IMEI, of course) and my daughter is back to being a Happy Camper - I do not know what they actually did OTHER than the motherboard replacement (like heatsink gel, etc). Looking at Ebay et al it appears "reliable" Ebay sellers are selling motherboards for $150-ish so that might be a route to consider.

And, of course, I'm seriously thinking getting a "throwaway" unlocked smartphone that my daughter can use if this LG dies again - Amazon has a "Blu" for $50-ish that should work fine; she uses two-factor authentication to log into school accounts so needs some sort of text-receiving phone - "dumb" has worked but she also does a lot of other online stuff that needs "smart" to handle adequately.
