Quick review of transparent grey silicone case

Pros:

Looks nice.

Top LED is visible through the case.

Cut-outs for speakerphone, USB/Mic, stylus and camera line up exactly.

Volume rocker lines up and works well.

Cons:

Cut-out for stylus allows that portion of case to ride up on the touch surface

and causes the lower edge of the case to bow out slightly.

Top portion of case doesn't wrap all the way around phone causing the misalignment of the on/off button and the 3.5mm jack. This makes it difficult to insert the plug and sometime takes more than one press on the button to activate.

This is the first silicone case I've used so I don't know if that sort of fit is normal, but I'm a little disappointed and ordered the OEM silicone case to compare.
[Touch HD Accessories] d.cortez:

[Touch HD Accessories] mmdirk:
Up to this point I've been using a black silicone case ordered on ebay. But after reading the virtues of the "transparent gray" case as listed & pictured earlier in this thread I ordered one and received it today.

My concern is the transparent material is not nearly as soft/rubbery as the black silicone case. I dropped my phone onto concrete from waist height with the black silicone case and it survived perfectly. But with the hardness difference in the transparent case I’m not so sure the outcome would be the same. Anyone have a survival story with the transparent case?
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I drop my HD regularly :mad::eek: I have always used silicon cases on my HTC phones, however I find the new plastic transparent/translucent models much better. They don't stretch out like the silicon models and they still offer ample protection. My HD that is fitted with a new plastic case was dropped on a tile floor, the stylus went flying...under the frig:eek: but the HD was fine. I think most phones are designed to endure the impact of a fall, but scratches will occur without a cover.
[Touch HD Accessories] mmdirk:
Matterhorn, thanks for the feedback.

Funny when I dropped mine the stylus shot across the sidewalk about 10 feet away too. Also I've noticed with the softer black silicone case all kinds of pocket stuff gets between the case and the phone and rubs into the mirror trim finish. I'm switching to the plastic transparent case.
[Touch HD Accessories] goldsfool:
I have the black hard "rubberized" case and the crystal case, both of which I don't feel would protect my phone if it fell. It seems like the little clips/grooves that keep the front and back pieces together would just come apart if it hits the ground, sending the phone flying, so I wouldn't trust either ones of those. As far as looks, I like the crystal case better.

I'm waiting for my transparent silicone case to come in, I think I'm gonna like that one the best since it's one piece, isn't hard, and doesn't cover up the looks of the phone. I don't have the regular silicone case, but from what I've seen, it seems thicker then the transparent one so it would probably protect the phone better, with the disadvantage of not being transparent.

Hopefully the transparent case is a keeper, but so far, all of these cheaper options have been disappointments. The first case I bought was the Noreve flip case, which I think is awesome and am liking more and more.
[Touch HD Accessories] TheDaddy:
I've been lurking here forever, but rarely post. I feel so strongly about this that I wanted to jump in.

I have the thicker black rubberized case, the two-piece crystal case, and the newest plastic/transparent case. The last is clearly the best. The black rubber case gets too loose & makes the phone too bulky. The crystal is OK, but I just don't like the non-snug fit between the phone the case. There is always dirt, lint, etc, getting in the gaps.

The transparent plastic one has just the right firmness. It's thinner, so the phone doesn't get bulky. And the texture is better, also. Not too sticky, but not completely slick either.

I've ordered three colors now -- transparent, smoke gray, and blue. I prefer the smoke gray. The transparent detracts from the black case of the HD. The smoke gray blends right in.
[Touch HD Accessories] ez2remember:
I agree with many here the soft plastic transparent case is the best.

+ The gripe is good when it needs to be i.e. in your hands, on a desk etc. but glides smoothly into pockets. The soft plastic doesn't 'stick' to fabric which is a big plus unlike silicone case.

+ See-thru so top LED is visible

+ Looks very nice

+ Not bulky at all

+ Whole screen estate is easily accessible unlike the silicone case where the top-right x key would be more difficult to press and the QWERTY characters on the far right and left.

- Heats up the device slightly but this also applies to silicone cases

- May offer slightly less protection than the thick bouncy silicone case

- Power button much harder to press now. Worse than the silicone case.

Overall it's the best so far.

I'm think I'll poke some holes at the back so it can "breath".

Well based on the reviews of others here I have ordered one of those translucent grey rubbery covers for my touch hd...will see how it is when it arrives....hopefully doesnt mess up the phones fit in my car holder!
[Touch HD Accessories] lovebell:
My rubber hard case just arrived today, and it is in red. The front and back are covered nicely,however, the sides have not done a perfect job,therer about 1-2mm gaps around it.The case feels smooth in my hands.Overall its worth to buy IMO.

I have aslo ordered the soft silicone case in gray, lets see after I get it.

anyone has purchased this case? I have order one too, I am not expecting it too much since its price is quite cheap.The item name is Baking Varnish Hard Case Cover

[Touch HD Accessories] sna:
would the thin transparent silcone cases work with THD that has invisibleshield or other full body skin on it?
[Touch HD Accessories] Matterhorn:
I see that your HD fits in the desk charging cradle even with the cover on it. Which cradle is that and where might I find one? Also, those headhones look so cool, are they custom fit? Do they sound good too? :)

Thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] lovebell:
I ordered it from ebay, here

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Touch-HD-T8...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

Actually it won't be charging,cuz the rubber hard case is too thick to reach the USB port.

but it will work with the transparent silcone case,notice the red battery status? it shows the unit be connected with the dock and the battery is charging.

These earplug are Ultimate ears ue10pro, and yes they are custom fit,you have to make an earmold first, they are the best-sounding earplug I have owned.
[Touch HD Accessories] lovebell:
Yes, it will fit HD with the IS ful body skin, I have tried it.
[Touch HD Accessories] willwmj:

Yea,it's rubber,as it says,not soft but hard rubber skin,actually my unit currently is wearing the gray transparent silcone case, cuz the red one is kinda eye-catching outside...

Lovebell - would you mind commenting on the surface texture on the case?? is it a soft "grabby" surface like some silicon can be? or it is a harder finish?

Pity they don't do it in dark green, or luminous material. ;)
[Touch HD Accessories] lovebell:
As it is maked as "hard rubber",however,I can say that it feels more hard than "rubber",it dosen't feel like the silicon things at all.

Im currently not using it anymore,I assume the silicone case is what you r aftering?

these transparence silicone cases are not soft as the other silicone cases on Ebay either,but soft enough to anti scratches to the phone body.

I 've uploaded some photos to show how it looks like with the transparence silicone case.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] orangebutterfly1000:
so yesterday i decided to restart my s8 cuz it feels like there are times the phone screen malfunction like while i was playing the control pad got stuck for 2-3 seconds (tested with 4 games also same result) and i proceed to eat my brunch while i wait for the phone to restart completely.. after that i noticed the phone is stuck to boot (Galaxy S8 powered by android) after 1-2 minutes the phone will proceed to recovery mode (no command ) then its menu and after 7seconds the phone will restart to boot again (infinite loop)..

i tried to flash it but i really dont know what build or firmware should i download..

idk if i already soft brick it but after flashing it the odin always shows a fail result.. (but it is still in boot loop and can still proceed to dwnload mode)

i saw this message in phone while in download mode

SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER)​

also saying device 12 binary 11 (i researched about it and found that my phone is up to date abd the firmware im trying to use to flash is old, the thing is i dont know what firmware should i download))

My question is can this be saved by flashing it with latest firmware? and if its possible can you send me a link of the phone firmware that match to my device.. i already searched in sammobile and the current firmware for my phone there was the february 2021 (02-21) firmware..

since i cant check my build number or anything (cuz of the boot loop).. ill justput here the details about my phone..

*model : galaxy s8 (SM-950FD) ,dual sim,64gb rom 4gb ram, exynos variant

- i still have the box of it.. (bought the phone december 2017)

*all i know is that my phone is up to date (last month i checked it settings and the phone says it is up to date)

*last year (June 2020) - the phone screen starts to flicker but i can still use it by turning on the AOD and set the brightness to 50% then the screen will go back to normal

*July 2020 i tried to reset my phone hoping that the screen will be fixed, it went smoothly in a week (no flickers even @low brightness) and then after that the issue goes back again so i just keep it that way and back to Turning on the AOD to fix it.

*last week of Oct 2021- so for after a year & 4mos. and already used with the flicker issue. the fingerprint sensor starts to malfunction (so sad i cant access the samsung pass anymore)

my last restart of the phone was this time.. and time to give up with that fingerprint issue

* i flash it earlier today this is the firmware i downloaded//

SM-G950FD	Philippines (Open Line)	2021-02-02	G950FXXSBDUA3	Android Version 9

i tried that firmware cuz im living in the philippines plus it is dual sim (i presume its an openline) however odin tells that this firmware is old..

that is all i know about my phone.. let me know if you need more details about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
device 12 binary 11 - does mean you are flashing older firmware than what is on your phone.

device 12 means your on binary/bootloader 12 and binary 11 is firmware trying to flash ie: G950FXXSBDUA3

this may be the latest version G950FXXUCDUD1

you can use this pc app to download latest firmware. See last page for download link

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] zpunout:
I bought a third XZ2c H8324 to install LineageOS onto. The first two phones I had no problems, but this third phone won't boot into bootloader mode for an unknown reason.

When I hold down the vol up button when plugging the phone into the PC, the LED flashes red and blue forever until I let go of the vol up button. Then the charge icon appears on the screen instead of the LED staying blue.

Background: I first backed up the TA partition which involved flashing firmware with newflasher then flashing again to the newest firmware with newflasher again. I'm wondering if I did something different and caused a problem. The files used are the same ones I used for the other two phones. I did notice after the firmware downgrade with newflasher that the shell output had an error:

Instead of the normal output at the last part of flashing with newflasher:

#Device is put now out of flash mode.

#Sent command: Sync

#Waiting sync to finish…

#……………… done

#Sent command: continue.

#Done.

#Closing device.

I got a timeout error after #Waiting sync to finish....

The same error occured when using newflasher to update to the latest firmware again. The stock firmware boots normally.

I don't know if using newflasher somehow caused the problem or not.

I don't know if bootloader mode worked prior to flashing the firmware because I didn't test it.

[edit: Issue resolved.

I decided to download another H8324 firmware with XperiFirm, this time I used the Australian variant. Then with Androxyde's FlashTool, I did Tools >> Bundles >> Create to make an .ftf file. Then flashed it with all check boxes in the Wipe-Sin catagory ticked.

I don't understand why this firmware fixed it and not the french one I used before, but whatever the case may be, if someone else encounters the same problem they can see my path to success.]

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] hawkerpaul:
I have been on Android 12 (official OTA) for about 2 weeks now.

A couple of nights ago, I got an OTA message to welcome me to Android 12, and to download the 1.8Gb update.

I've not had any issues with A12, but I look through the Goggle forums, and see many who have, so I went ahead with the update.

I'm on UK EE.

Turns out, this update is a Verizon build.

The first full Android 12 OTA I had:

Baseband: g7250-00147-210811-B-7631450

Build number: SP1A.211105.003

After the "new" update this is now:

Baseband: g7250-00147-210830-B-7686829

Build number: SP1A.211105.002.A1

I went on Full OTA images to sideload my original (and correct) build back on but it refuses, saying that my current version is newer than the one I'm trying to download, and that a "downgrade" is not possible.

My question is, when the December OTA comes through, will my phone automatically get the correct build and get rid of this rogue Verizon build?

Or will I have to decline the update, and do a manual sideload of the new OTA (non-Verizon) build?

Thanks

Use ADB Backup method - it doesn't require Android is rooted.

The basic command is adb backup. The type of backup changes by using following suffixes:

-apk. used to backup all the applications

–all. Backs up all data except app

–Noapk. Does not backup apps

–Shared. Backup all the dta from SD card

-f. followed by a path. This switch is used along with other switches. It allows you to specify the backup path of your choice.
