I got out of the car and the door sill pushed my phone out of my pocket, I heard something fall and slide.. I never usually wear cargo pants to work, usually in shorts. I dislike how the phone flips horizontally and feels like it's taking bending pressure..

Thank goodness for some reason this morning I felt like going to work with the snapon wouldn't be a good idea and popped on the goospery tpu instead! Case took some top cam corner scrapes and scratches.. That would have been the phone!
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Consider yourself very lucky. Reading this post made my heartrate increase LOL.

Ordering the Gooseperry to the UK costs a tonne but I want that white case
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
They sell it on Ebay as well as Amazon, you check the UK "versions" for it?

Amazon doesn't list it, but it's available on ebay.co.uk with free P&P

UPDATE: I measured using a digital caliper, it's back is 0.8mm

http://www.ebay.com/itm/351888630915

NOTES: I love it, adds no width to the phone looks and feels as it does when naked, except grippy. It does rainbow in some angles on back, in case anyone's bothered by that. Buttons still easy clicks. Since it's thin it doesn't create mic echo and or speaker deviation like the thicker ones do.

Here are some more pictures of the thin tpu I'm using for reference. Very similar to the Olixar without branding.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Do you have the flash issue?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Glare off the case? Haven't taken photos, I'll test today

I've not had issues with glare others reported with or without my previous cases.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Quick point and shoot in car, sunny day
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Outside of car. Don't see 'glare' off lens or case. I'll check tonight with flash. But the cutouts seem ample enough not to be an issue
[Google Pixel Accessories] JaTe01:
My DBrand installed. Concrete w/matte black window. Loving it without the case.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Its only with the flash.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Yea quite bad reflection off clear. I'll test with other clear probably the same.

Edit: gonna have to mod the cut out.
[Google Pixel Accessories] andino:
Ah let me know what you think of that! I ordered it from ebay from China so mine won't be here until the end of the month or early dec. Should have known to look on amazon!

Anyone have the Google Case and the Bear Motion one? I'm curious how they compare thickness wise. I have the bear motion currently but like the look of the official google case more. My housemate has the Spigen armor on his and its a bit thick for my tastes.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
How are you going to do this?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Warm exacto or hole punch to test. I think it's just the center between cam and flash

It's funny the flashlight lights the whole border of the case all around
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Not sure I agree. I think the left of the flash also is too close.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
I think the glare to the cam is caused by the center tho. I'll see when mod my case and report.

If it's the corner filled by led it's gonna suck because it lights up the whole case
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Ok cut used a plain scissors and cut out the center portion between the two circles/openings for the flash and cam (crappy job), but here are the results.

First picture without flash to compare to the second picture with flash. Last two also with flash.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Hmm the question is what would these shots have looked like with the center in place?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69726378&postcount=149

Like the ones of the hall way above with the flash halo glare. Halo glare is gone now.

EDIT: I just realize my cut practically ends up looking exactly like the Nillkin Nature's opening for the cam/led except really badly cut haha
[Google Pixel Accessories] Jaxidian:
Still waiting on mine. How did the corners turn out? I'm concerned about that part.
[Google Pixel Accessories] JaTe01:
No wrinkles on my corners. Key is to take your time and use a hairdryer. I'm very happy with the outcome. I'll try to post pics tonight when I get home from work.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
My Dbrand Marble arrived. So has my Slickwraps Stormtrooper skin.

I have the feeling I'm gonna ruin both of them and regret it. Who cares, eh? Do or die.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
I'm actually quite happy with this. Not sure how it'll survive.
[Google Pixel Accessories] JaTe01:
Close up of corners. Not the best pics, but you get the idea.
[Google Pixel Accessories] earthdan:
Got my olixar case today, wow it's thin. Compared to my Spigen liquid crystal case (which is pretty thin already) it actually feels much nicer to hold. In my case (ha, pun), the cutouts appear to be very slightly off but still reasonable. This is likely from the slickwraps skin I have underneath which is approximately 0.5 mm thick. Also, there is maybe a 0.5-1mm lip, and with my glass screen protector on I think it only just barely prevents the screen from resting on whatever surface. Overall I like the combo!
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
Careful of flash issue
[Google Pixel Accessories] earthdan:
Saw that in previous posts...I wonder if some sort of black tape would work to reduce the glare. Not sure I want to try cutting the hole bigger...for now anyways. I don't take too many pics with the flash though so probably not a huge problem for me....although I do like to make sure things work properly just because, and I suspect there are quite a few people in this forum who do too!!
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Is your imprint sensor swelling?
[Google Pixel Accessories] JaTe01:
Looks like it, but it was just dirty
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
You can cut it nice and straight make it into an oval like the nillkin nature. I brutalized mine snipping on top but bottom is nice.

I was thinking about just using a perm marker to darken the cenrter

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

As far as cut outs being off reinstall from the other side or push to align. Mine were off the 2nd time I installed it when I noticed I installed it ever so tiny bit off alignment.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
I cut mine. Doesn't look great but improves flash
[Google Pixel Accessories] pthurmond:
I use the Pixel case from Tech21. When I used that brand on my LG G3 it protected it from literally everything I put it through.

For the most part the Tech21 is reasonably thin. Especially given that it is essentially a bumper case meant to protect from drops (which happen often with me, though not yet with the Pixel surprisingly). The thinnest and best at protecting bumper case I have found. Totally worth the $30 I paid for it.
[Google Pixel Accessories] BlueSilence:
Anybody tried those Nillkin frosted cases?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
SHUMURI a ultra thin case maker like Peel replied to my inquiry about making a case for Pixel. After two weeks I got this reply on Facebook.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Just wanted to update the thread to confirm that my Olixar case has definitely 'yellowed'. So much so, that it has left a faint yellow tint on some sides of the white dbrand skin I have on the Pixel.

I have another Olixar unused and I've just slapped on a Nillkin case as a thin replacement. For some reason, the Olixar looked a little thinner than the Nillkin, but I'm splitting hairs here.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ozmotion:
The 'Bear Motion' case is thin textured polycarbonate. The top and bottom edge protection is non-existent. Fit is excellent, finish is average. But it is a very low profile case.

[Google Pixel Accessories] Seikoom:
My Nillkin Nature came last week - power/volume buttons much harder to press than the Spigen Liquid Crystal which were great.

Very thin case - but the button issue is too much for me.
[Google Pixel Accessories] JiltedCitizen:
I second the Bear Motion case. Very slim. Texture is weird but not bad. Oddly tape doesn't stick to it. I tried taping the metal plate for my magnetic mount and it would not stick.
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Correct. The buttons are a pain on the Nillkin.

The Cruzerlite bugdroid case and the Spigen rugged armour have brilliant button response and feedback.
[Google Pixel Accessories] thedosbox:
I had one for my Z5 Compact. The cutout around the flash was too close to the LED, and would bounce light from the flash onto the camera lens, ruining night shots.

Someone else mentioned they also had AF problems with a Spigen case that has a similar cutout as the Nillkin.

I think the texture is the same as that on the original OnePlus One - i.e. sandstone. That makes for a much nicer grip IMO.
[Google Pixel Accessories] the tree:
Does it increase the grip? thats my main need for these. protection is noce, but I need better grip then the slipper metal provides.

Ordered one of these, I currenly have the maxi case off page 1, and it does a good job, but i'mn always on the lookout for something new. and these are cheap enough that it doesn't matter.
[Google Pixel Accessories] roccom33:
I received the Suensan Ultra Thin clear polycarbonate case today:

Suensan Amazon Link

I'm extremely disappointed because it arrived all scratched and scuffed up. I'll be seeking a replacement or refund. Thankfully to counteract my disappointment the Carnaby case also arrived today and I love it even though it isn't a slim case.
[Google Pixel Accessories] the tree:
I bought this one as well, I also bought the Engraved wooden case as a gift, that thing is HUGE compared to the bear case. I like this one very good.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bdm333:
The Universal has no backup battery that I am aware of, and yet when the battery is taken out or swapped, the real-time clock keeps running. This is very useful, and I suppose it is powered for a time by the charge in a capacitor.

Can anyone confirm that it is a capacitor that keeps the clock ticking? Also, anyone know how long the battery can be removed before the clock eventually stops?

Hi everyone,

I am using the Gear VR with my phone but for sure it lacks some features. As I see the google daydream is much interesting and I would love to try it/have the headset when iz comes out. What worries me now is if our devices (Exynos) will be supported for the daydream.

What are your toughts on this, do you think we will be able to use it?
[Xposed General] stevedensmore:
I installed the module, "Hide Mock Locations". Just as the install was completing, my phone shut off, appeared to be rebooting, and then sat permanently at a blank black screen. I've tried a few things to reverse the damage. I deleted the module's apk base file and folder from data/app. Installed the Xposed uninstaller zip from TWRP. Also cleared the dalvik cache and cache from TWRP. None of these methods have been able to get my phone to boot back up properly. Now Android continually attempts to start with optimizing the apps, and then goes right back to the blank black screen when finished. Is there anything else I'm missing?
[Xposed General] Curiousn00b:
Try dirty flashing your ROM.

If it still didn't work, try a clean install. If problems still persist, could be something with the phone itself.
[Xposed General] civicsr2cool:
Flash your original boot.img from your rom or flash a custom kernel.

Hello. I have an LG G4 US99122a running on MM 6.0. I wanted to root the phone but I have researched that currently bootloader is locked on this model and cannot be rooted.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] StaticMoot:
I'm just trying to get used to LG again from using Samsung for the last year. I wish the stock launcher was a little bit....more. I used the stock touch-wiz on the S7 edge and Note 7 and actually liked it (I know, I know) and I feel like the LG launcher is a little meh in comparison. Switched to Smart Launcher and all is well there. I do sort of wish the screen was AMOLED, but that said, the screen on this thing is in no way bad. Otherwise, fantastic phone and so nice to be on a proper 5.7 screen again.

Try Nova. It works well with my v20
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
I will get mine tonight and will let you know what I dont like. I have a Nexus 6P at the moment and had 4 Note 7 in 1 month. The Note 7 was a great phone from the design but Touchwiz is so slow and laggy it was annoying. The screen of course was gorgeous and the camera was great. The 6P is in general fast but stock android is so blunt. I had Nexus phone for 4 years. The 6Ps camera is slow and the stock camera app is awfully simple. The AMOLED on the 6P is awful (yellow tint and dark). I rather have a good LCD than a bad AMOLED. On the N7 and the ^P battery life was just OK. Nothing to brag about.

I hope from the V20 that the screen is decent, the camera is fast and takes good pictures and that the battery life is decent. I am most concerned about battery life but we will see.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ElBeaner:
Switch to a different launcher like Nova and then customize it the way you want it to look and that way you can take that look with you from phone to phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EVOme:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EVOme:
It is. Even with phone in silent it still makes the shutter sound. Nothing mutes it. :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Araltd:
I use Nova launcher prime. I like Nova so much it's one of the few apps I bought gladly.

I'm shocked you can't disable the shutter sound. That sucks. I take pictures of my grandkids a lot and the sound makes them wild! LOL they want to hear it over and over... LOL ?

I guess that'll have to be something once it's rooted and custom rooms start showing up.

My last 2 phones have been Samsung. Galaxy S3 which I kept for nearly 2 years, and now the Samsung Note 4 which I've had for almost exactly 2 years. Before the S3 I was either using an iPhone or the LG 3D phone which I can't remember the model number.

So my dilemma is I read the specs for the v20 and I'm underwhelmed. Then I compare against my note 4 and don't see enough "upgrades"... I like the ticker screen on top, I think that's awesome. I like the wide angle camera but the images look so fish eyed I can't imagine using that for taking pictures of my kids (my main photo subjects) for scenery or artistic shots I'm sure it's amazing. But I'm no photographer, I want good pictures and fast camera response. (and no shutter speed)

I agree with the poster who said a good lcd screen is better than a bad amoled screen. I do wish it was amoled but it isn't so...

Thank you all for the info. Please keep it coming.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EVOme:
No, I haven't. You have a goto 3rd party suggestion?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] StaticMoot:
Nova is a great launcher, don't get me wrong. I'm just getting lazy in setting up my phone and Smart Launcher lets me customize my phone without having to set up folders and organize things myself. Nova requires so much initial set-up and I just don't have the patience lately.

Back on subject though, the more I use this phone, the more I love it. It sucked to have to give back the Note 7, but this is a worthy replacement and feels so well built.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SidneyD:
I use Open Camera. I just checked it and you can turn off the shutter sound in it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
It's a bit complex but it has a camera sounds options in it: Camera FV-5 I think it has a freebie trial version so you don't have to buy it. (Only reason I got it was to shoot RAW on my Nexus 6. The V20 already has the RAW option baked in.)

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Although, I just thought about this and I'm now curious to see if any of these 3rd party camera apps will work with the V20 since it has all the cameras and not just one front one back.

This phone compare to the others phones now release seems not worth. I keep hearing the sound is low and crappier than the S7 and N7. Screen seems more blue than white and battery life is average. I dont know if T Mobile will count the note 5 I trade in for the N7 as a trade in for the V20. Those 200 dollars credit will be de difference between getting the V20 or the S7E for me.

If ended not liking the V20 at least I would only had pay $569 instead of the $769 advertise.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
They'll take the N5, but you'd be better off selling it. The most they'll give you is$200 and it's worth more than that. And the money won't be right away. It may take a couple billing cycles.

Also, I've heard great things from people as far as the sound good too. I would judge for yourself at the store if you can.
