So, this is not a sponsored post. I had this case on my S8+ and it immediately changed the look of my phone and made it look good. I've decided to put this on my Note8.

3 quick notes.

1. This is SUPER thin. There is no protection if you drop this phone.

2. This is a PERFECT fit. Trying to use this over a skin or if you have a metal plate for your magnetic car stand will not work correctly.

3. There is no lip at the top. Do not place this face down.

With that said, this is not my every day case but looks good when you want to go almost bare.

THX for posting this,just ordered one in black.

If you like minimal cases,check out the Bear Motion case on Amazon:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr.Ash.Man:
I would be really interested in buying one of these however reading this concerns me a little...

I have a Ringke Invisible Defender Screen Protector (here)

It wraps around the phone onto the back so i guess it will not fit well with this protector if you say even a skin would interfear with it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sebastianraven:
That's 100% correct. Think of trying to put a wrap on top of a wrap. Even though they are both thin the one on top will be off by a bit.

I brought this up because with the last phone review I did on a case like this someone tried to put their case on with a wrap and they were bitter about the fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sebastianraven:
I really like these bear motion cases. They're done pretty good work on these, but I don't like that it doesn't go up the top and bottom and there's something to be said for the case wraps around the buttons versus a cut out and it stops. I'm kind of picky in that regard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr.Ash.Man:
I'm glad you did otherwise i might of been a bit gutted too after buying one nice case though.. first one i have seen that covers the camera panel... interested to see more like this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] seoulbrova:
FYI on ali express and dhgate, these types of cases are like $1.00.

Just keep in mind they take a few weeks to get here from China.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sebastianraven:
Yeah, I'm ok with not using Ali Express. Most of that stuff is junk and then if you complain it takes weeks to get another one. Sizing is almost always off.

Even though the stuff on Amazon is almost exactly the same at least you get some sort of quality control. The sellers there don't want to get booted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chillsen:
i had the black bear motion for my black note 7. it was sexy as ****. and the sandpaper like grit was superb!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jackdforme:
I gave the same on my note 8 and it fits like a glove. I take the risk. If something happens it's on me. But I'm not gonna not use the screen and phone the way it was designed to be used.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] djinn415:
Question: Are the sides easily bendable or movable with the eLago case? The "problem" I face with these very thin cases are that due to the nature of the cutouts and the flimsiness of the case, the sides (mainly the left side) move too easily and it drives me crazy sometimes. Especially when I attempt to take it off my car mount where only the sides are being clenched to hold the phone. I know I am being finicky, but hey, I have every right to be. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] fatpeopleunite:
Trying to figure out whether I want the white or black one. How easy does the white get dirty?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sebastianraven:
I like the white. It's really a cool offset and your phone is black already. So what's the point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] sebastianraven:
This is a solid question. While the case is a perfect fit, the issue that I ran into with my S8 Plus is that the case did start to Warp above the power button about four months in. I shot the company a message on Amazon and they sent me a new one out no questions asked. So, it is a thin case but the customer service is above and beyond and that makes up for it

I've the chance to buy probably BNDS / BNIB units at the same cost as say more recent MT6737M/ Snapdragon 435 even MT6795 units with microsd, 64bit support.

I'm tempted by having the snapdragon 801 at a low cost but is it too late now expecially with the lack of 64bit support or does its raw power still relevant?

What would you do?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huatz84:
Moto X was a great device in its era. Even today I still praise it for the most compact device with a 5,2 inch screen. I can operate it easily with one hand. But,in today's standart,it's an outdated device. You got plenty devices with better specs and prices to choose. The most complaint with Moto X in my opinion is the battery life. I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X and comparing both is so pathetic. Battery endurance in Redmi Note 4 is so much better. If Moto X is the device with 4000 mah battery, I think it's still countable. With custom ROM,Moto X is still fast and fluid. I prefer using Moto X daily than my RN4X coz the design fits perfectly in my pocket.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
Absolutely......................................not. Look I love my X 2014 but it was a flawed device when it came out and that didn't let it age well. The camera and battery were terrible when it came out, now they are down right garbage in comparison to mid rangers. The screen was average when it came out, now it's terrible in comparison. The lack of fingerprint sensor might not seem like a big deal but until you use it, you don't know what your missing. The phone is still smooth but how long until developers move on. The design in my opinion was still one of the best, a classic for sure. It's just not worth it.

Get a Moto G5 Plus or similar, they are under 200 sales.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustArma:
Battery is too bad nowadays even if performance is alright, if you absolutely must go Moto then get the G5 Plus
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenshinta:
Thanks for your feedback , a few questions to keep this going if you dont mind ...

Yeah I had hoped that the overall experience is still preferable even taking into account its cons.

I'm of the mindset that I can offset this issuee with phone with lots of powerbank choices now.

This is disappointing -- 1 factor that makes me consider this is (since i had no real life experience with it) -- that the AMOLED screen and camera would still be competent to comparable models.

OK, if while considering all the above I add the relative context that in my area if available the G5 plus is 200USD, while the Moto X would be 110USD bnew, would that make it more appealing?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gus Ghanem:
I've had mine for 2 years, and still loving it. I bought it in a carrier store for 400 Canadian Dollars. Since I can only buy phones in a store at full retail price, my choices are somewhat limited. I still can't find a "better" phone at $500 CAD. My Moto X 2014 is running the latest Android perfectly with 2GB RAM, and will run Android 8.0 Oreo (custom ROMs). The only consideration is band support, as it may not support the latest and fastest LTE bands used by some carriers nowadays. Also, this phone has NFC, some lower priced new phones may not.

The things I would be looking for in a new phone: longer battery life, latest LTE bands support, and maybe a bigger screen, like 5.5+ inch.

I just got that phone about 3 days ago... It is just amazing..remember.. It was a flagship.. Soft/hdw integratiom are perfect. Even with low battery and 2 gb of ram.. It's more worthy than several mid ranges phone mentioned. Besides, you get plenty of development for at least one more year.. Go for it!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cool Dad:
Hi all,

My Nexus 5was running stock Android M till last week and I wanted Android N. So I rooted my phone installed TWRp and loaded android N by [MENTION=318327]santhosh[/MENTION]. Everything went well but at times some apps kept crashing including TWRP. So I decided to to do a clean wipe. I did a clean wipe from recovery but after that my phone is not booting up. It's stuck on bootloop.

I am not able to boot into recovery mode also is there any way to save my phone?

Pardon my English.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErXBout:

​

But my phone is not detecting when I Connect on my laptop
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErXBout:
Sounds like a dead power button?

Not sure, never had this problem.

But that is a common issue
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The fact that the phone is not detected by the phone makes it difficult to re-flash a stock ROM.

If it is a power button issue, I recommend removing the motherboard, cleaning around the power button with pure isopropyl alcohol., quickly press and release the power button using a bit more pressure that usual, replace the motherboard, and try again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] speedme:
I have received the MDA Vario III this week and started to backup all SMS, etc from my old Vario I.

Before that, I have simunlocked my Vario III and put on the official WM6.1 ROM (ROM 3.03.405.0.WWE, Radio 1.64.06.04),

I have backupped my old SMS, etc on the Vario I with PIM Backup (but also used HTC Data Backup) and trasfered the backup-file to my Vario III.

There I did a restore.

Contacts, call history, etc was restored fine.

Only problem is that not all my SMS was restored.

PIM Backup said to have restored 25 SMS (which is correct), but on the Vario III is shows only like 10 SMS in my inbox.

Does the Vario III automatically hide some SMS or something ?

Someone had the same problem ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
This has been discussed on the PIM backup thread. Have a look there for answers. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705

I had to restore twice. Once missed half of the messages I received. The second time they all appeared. I think I used the SMS/MMS software to clear all messages before the second restore.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] speedme:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction....I guess I completely overlooked it :-)

I have tried several restores already, even only messages restore (or even only inbox restore), but I keep having only 10 messages where the database clearly says that 25 messages are in it.....

Strange....but I will discuss this further in the right thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Eggleston11:
Hi XDA community!

I was doing research in to the current custom kernels available for our phone. Pretty much every kernel developer advertises their kernel as having improved performance and battery. One of the problems I found is that it is quite difficult to compare the performance and battery of kernels without trying it out for a week or so. I thought for the benefit of not only myself (who doesn't have time to test every kernel), but for the community that it would be helpful to have a thread that compares kernels.

Each post being a short comparison of at least 2 kernels should be sufficient. Performance, battery life, conditions (e.g. ROM, heavy user? non-gamer? etc. ) and special features (that set it apart)of a kernel would be good ways to compare them. Perhaps a quick rundown of your current kernel and why it suits your needs best could be good as well.

This is not a thread to tell me what you think the best kernel is. I believe that all custom kernels have their merit being somewhere on the balance between battery life and performance + a few features and suiting different people based on their needs.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hello,

Thank you for the very detailed review. :good:

May I ask how did you flash the notorius kernel ? :confused:

Did you installed the Superman ROM and then reflash the kernel over it ?

Thank you. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Eggleston11:
Glad I'ts helping someone choose, cos I was very on and off abuot which one i wanted until i actually did the tests.

This is not the right forum to post this lol. This is meant to be about kernel reviews. The notorious kernel forum itself however isnt very clear.

It's just simply installing via twrp. dont forget to clear davlik/art cache after installation. Also, you need to flash root afterwards. I recommend you dont flash the root that the kernel comes with and to flash the root separately as there have been some bugs regarding that and also so that you can get the most up to date root.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Xial Xahab:
That discussion was very helping but the question the i have is that i am a heavy gamer and most of my battery drain is caused due to games... which one would u suggest for better gaming battery life from the above mentioned?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Flandry:
Generally speaking this depends on the performance you need. If you can get your games to run sufficiently fast underclocked like on notorious, it will improve your battery life more just like it does in general. If it's too slow that way you'll have to see if super helps over stock. You could also try notorious and up the clock to more stock values but test out undervolting on it (as mentioned that does pose some risk) and see if your particular chip can be stable at a nice undervolt. Undervolting at high clocks can potentially save you a lot of battery life, but it depends on whether your chip is a "good" one or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Eggleston11:
Yep agreed => try games out on notorious. if they can work well on low clock speed, then keep it. Trying speeds between stock and notorious can work if the games are too laggy. Stock values may be necessary depending on what games you are using.

Undervolt may also help to improve performance while at lower clock speeds a less heat generated. Less voltage does also theoretically mean less power used. I have found the difference in battery life and heat with underclock to be quite insignificant. People calculate it to be 2-5% less power used. Given notorious already uses less than 1% per hour on average use for me. It means i'll be saving at best 5% of 1% so 0.02% per hour. Not much power saved and not worth in my opinion given the side effects.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Flandry:
The key is to undervolt during gaming, not idle. Undervolt can give exponentially more power savings at high clock speed. I agree it's not going to help for low clock speed and isn't usually worth the risk to corruption. With my Nokia N900 (back when you actually had to milk out all the MHz you could just to get 3D games on a phone, or in my case MAMEing arcades ;) i could greatly increase gaming time when i dropped the volts for the highest CPU frequencies.

I appreciate your careful review of the two kernels. I'm still trying to figure out the ROM jungle for my new S7 Edge. Are these kernel and ROMs you are talking about snapdragon compatible or it this thread purely in exynos territory?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Eggleston11:
Agreed that the ~5% savings would translate to a greater amount of power saved during gaming in theory. I dont personally game on my phone, so your experience on this is better than mine haha.

I have the G935F. As far as I understand these kernels are for Exynos only. Good luck if you are searching for a good development scene with the snapdragon version. There are a few ROMs and Kernels i think. I have no idea about quality.

[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] 1990macsfull:
Hello, excuse my bad english I'm using google translate.

The problem I have is that my xperia xa is dead.

the reason of it, was that I wanted to flash the rom of my cell to remove the applications that come with the mobile company.

when I realized my error, was that I did the following, in the flash tool, in the rom selection, I made the error, not selecting the following settings:

-APPS_LOG

-DIAG

-QNOVO

-USERDATA

-CUST-RESET

as shown in the following image:

when the flash operation ended, the cell phone did not want to turn it on, the only function it had and has so far, is that it does not vibrate, it does not turn on, it does not go into flash or fastboot mode, it's dead, it just turns on the red led.

when I try to perform the flash operation again, I simply get the following message when I connect the device.

in the windows device manager, recognizes the phone as "usb serial device (com)".

I searched the net, and I did not find the solution to this problem, I appreciate your attention, and I expect some help.

PD: I already tried the connection with pc companion, and even the function from system symbol of windows with the tool fastboot to flash the boot, with the img.

the problem is that the device does not go into any mode
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] levone1:
2 times so far, my XA died the same way after trying to flash a mod. Both times I was eventually able to resurrect it by holding down various combinations of buttons while plugging and unplugging, trying different cables, etc. The second time, it wouldn't do anything until the next day, and then it suddenly came to life when using a different cable and plugging into the wall while holding power and volume down. I would try it. I'm not too familiar with flashtool on XA. I have used it for 3 years with my Z1c and never hard bricked a phone with it. Seems like X series have a little bit different rules, but I don't see why your phone would hard-brick just because you didn't wipe a few partitions... Also good idea to check in with FT thread.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] kiukirimas:
If the computer does recognize it, maybe you need to reinstall your usb drivers. If its not, then u have a big problem with it, before making anything you need to see if there is a way to connect it by Fastboot, and install his custom TWRP. if u are able to do that, there is a sollution for you.

Remember always to install your usb flash drivers, and the fastboot drivers too.
