[Q] Is it able to lie on a table?

Hi,
At work I have my Phone lying on its back on my table. When I get an email/sms or whatever I usually just type a quick reply without picking up the phone. Is that possible with the DHD? I mean, the curve and especially the camera lens seem to indicate that the DHD can't even by seated on it's back - doesn't it "tilt"?
Thanks

tilts a LITTLE and moves a LITTLE!! i just places it on a anti-scratch and moving pad use in kitchens. Sometime I just leave in in my Charging Cradle Dock at work, and Use it from there!!
Some PPL gets SO LAZY from using their Phone by holding it...SIGH...

it does tilt a little, but as long as you type quickly and nimbly, it is fine

I have mine in a gel case and it doesn't move at all

On it's own it will tilt slightly, but this doesn't make typing difficult

Thanks all. I think I want to take a closer look at the cradles and "gel" casings - do you have some links to what you use?

Ditto this. Get a gel case. It "hugs" whatever surface you put it on, and you don't have hard, brittle surfaces getting chipped or damaged.

This is very similar to the case I am using, and a very similar price too

I'm also using a gel case, and it doesn't tilt or move at all. A partial link (can't post the whole thing as I'm still a new user) to the one I bought is found below. It's cheap, and works like a charm!

Spigen Slim Armor View for Nexus 5

Check out my video review on the Spigen Slim Armor View:
https://wwwyoutube.com/watch?v=Kqc0gUDvueU
One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the auto sleep/wake function. This allows the screen to sleep just like with regular usage. When you wake the phone using the standby button the app will still be running.
I do not have enough posts to place an external link in a thread, so you will have to put a dot after the www in the link.
It would be great if someone could post the proper link.

Here you go, embedded it for you.
Very well done review! Nice detail and the video is super clear.

the app is on the playstore its called slim view cover and spigen is releasing there own app on 05/01

Not to dig up too old a topic, but anyone have thoughts on the new app if it actually came out? I've been holding off buying this until the Spigen app released.

Their app really really sucks. I don't know why I thought it'd be good. Mostly all of their products suck I'm kinda happy with the case but still have issues with it. Under the window its still plastic not rubber so the plastic is resting right on the screen and the front cover is really thin and it bugs me just because I can press down on it and it will touch the screen. I don't have a screen protector on it so this is a concern. Its alright but I'll definitely be looking for a new case. Hard to hold while texting and the hinge is kinda crappy. They say 360° but I don't see how they got 360 when that means a complete rotation. It flips on its back and that's only 180°. But at least it doesn't cover the camera.

Again to dig up the old topic...
but...
... no reason to start a new thread as anyone looking to buy this case should be able to find all opinions in one place.
I bought this case have extremely mixed feelings.
1, it's a great case. It fits well. The buttons require a little extra effort to push, but no big deal. Supposedly the flip cover is removable, but I haven't seen how to do it without breaking the hinge. I'm sure it can be done, but I'm afraid to push things. Definitely it makes the phone bigger and heavier, but I don't see that as a bad thing as honestly the phone is a featherweight without a case. One minor issue with the physical build, is that the bottom edge of the view window brushes the screen of the phone while closed. Being plastic, I'm sure it wouldn't affect the glass screen. However, it does appear to be starting to leave a worn spot on the screen protector of my phone after only a few weeks. Something to definitely think of if you use plastic screen protectors.
2, the software is incredibly incredibly terrible. Whether you use 3rd party or the official Spigen app, they both bite the big one. I can't review each separately because I swapped between them constantly as new problems appeared, and forgot which one had which problems. But problems included: battery usage. phone calls not answering. phone calls answering themselves. can't connect bluetooth outgoing calls without opening flip cover. randomly lists previous calls as still ongoing. Additionally, though this isn't technically software, you have to be exceedingly careful not to even get near the proximity sensor while using the phone or it will trigger the app. Even with a 2 second proximity delay, I found it was very hard especially in landscape mode (such as taking pictures) to not accidentally trigger the sensor. Also, having the light sensor covered renders auto brightness non functional.
In the end, I still use the case. But without proper software support, I'm not sure it is worth $45. I ended up just putting widgets on my homescreens on the top 1/2 of the screen so I can see them with the flip cover closed. Answering the phone requires the ol' open the flip cover deal. That's better than the terrible software.
As far as protection... considering my Nexus 4 shattered from a drop onto dirt, despite having a Ringke Hybrid Fusion installed, I was looking for better protection. It appears this offers much better protection. It has already survived a 3 foot drop, initiated by a cranky cat, from a piano to a hardwood floor. Only time will tell, of course.
If you don't mind NOT having the software support... I feel this might just be the safest your Nexus 5 can be without placing it in a firesafe filled with expanding foam.

My buddy ordered this case a while ago, loved it, then hated it. Some of you were concerned about the view window touching the screen and potentially scratching it, well it did, for him at least. He now has a dull line across the middle of his screen. Almost the whole width. This only took 2 weeks of use. Just a little FYI for those interested in this case. You'll definitely want to use a screen protector with it.

Yeah my screen got deep scratches as well I can see them on the otherwise of my now installed screen protector. Its a nice case. Terrible window. And terrible app. The Galaxy S4 view armor had glass in the case itself. I bought this because I thought it did too.

I have bombed spigen's email with complaints and they do not even bother to reply - it's such a shame that a company would make a great case, with promises of a functioning app and not follow through. My brother (note 3) and my gf (S4) BOTH bought this case on my recommendation and they love it bc it just works. I know it's different bc we dont have the magnets to trigger the innerworkings but sheesh just give us something relatively useful and it would be okay.

I'd be willing to give a little pass on the proximity sensor issues if those were the ONLY issues.

Sooo, spigen supplys the case but no app?
Or does anyone have more info then that, i ordered the case before i read up on it in here... and now i have it laying on my desk and i am not sure if i sould unpack it or not.
Without the app the window is pointless... and i could have ordered the slim armor instead and saved a few bucks ...
but i really liked the idea of having my screen protected by a secon layer of defense .. first one is obviously a screen foil ...
can anyone confirm that the app is really missing or am i just to stupid to use the search function?

The app is in the PlayStore. I just watched a video on it as I'm looking for a case for mine. They'll have a QR code on the instructions.

They do provide an app - but the app is terrible.

Sony SCR26 Style Cover - Very disappointed

I received my my SCR26 cover from Clove yesterday. Preordered almost 2 months ago, because I thought it looked pretty nice. I was quite satisfied with my Dot View case from my HTC M8, and I would have liked a similar experience from Sony.
First of all the display area in the front was nicked. It was protected on both sides by a peel-off plastic , but somehow it had gotten nicked.
Secondly, there was a snap lock on the side that fastens on the back. I can see that it's shown on the Sony site now, but I am fairly certain that it wasn't a while back. It certainly isn't shown on Clove's product page. It pretty much ruins the cover for me having to unsnap the clasp to open the case. Also: way ugly
So the phone cannot lie flat on its back when the cover is on and closed (or open for that matter). I'm returning mine and suggested that Clove change their product page to reflect the actual product.
That aside, I wasn't terribly impressed with the "style view window". It's nifty being able to take pictures without opening the case as well as skipping tracks and play/pausing, but there is, as far as I can tell, no way to view your notifications other than simply acknowledging that they are there, forcing you to open the case to see what they are.
The phone adheres to the back of the case on a sticky surface, but I can see that being problematic, if it is removed and re-inserted over time.
I wasn't terribly impressed, but then again my opinion was somewhat colored by the presence of the clasp from the get-go.

I knew that this case could be somewhat disappointing
Would you mind providing some other pictures of the case?

I was almost itching to buy this case for a very long time... Since the wait was endless, I finally took the plunge and bought a Ringke Fusion case.. after reading this review I think I made a good choice after all..

I'm kind of feeling the same way as you after getting mine today after over 2 months of waiting on it ......
Skickat från min LG-V500 via Tapatalk

Could you take some pictures of it? I'm interested in getting this cover and want to see the problem and how's the cover made myself.
Sent with my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact with Tapatalk Pro

At work right now, will see what I can do when I get home.

Same here, received after 2 month and really disappointed. Build quality is awfull but the worst is that snap lock on the side, it feels like opening a purse . Oh and also the sticky part to attached the phone at the back, how long is that going to last if I decide to use the phone witout the case. Really Sony, is that all you could do for that great phone!!?
I sent it straight back to amazon as the picture was different from the product. Now looking for a new case.

the adhesive part will be restore just with a wipe of wet damp cloth

Thanks for the heads up.
It was already reported in this forum that this case wasn't the best one.
Hope you'll find the one you really like

I have had this cover for a good few months now. And it is falling apart... so also in the long term. ****ty cover.

note to self, never buy this cover. :s

[CASE REVIEW] Ringke - Fusion (Smoke Black) for Sony Xperia Z3c

Hi fellow XDA roamers,
As promised, I'll be doing a quick review of the Ringke - Fusion (Smoke Black) for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone.
Here's the Amazon page : Fusion (Smoke Black)
And here's the official website (thanks to @sh4d0wf0x) : Rearth - Ringke Fusion
For some reason, I can't find any official website, not that I need one but sometimes it can help to make sure the product isn't coming from some cheap company.
After my desastrous experience with the CaseMate - Tough Case I was quite impatient to get this case, I even ordered it the morning I got the CaseMate.
I got it for a whopping 13 euros (there was a nice sale on it) instead of 30 and I received it in less than 4 days, another end of the year miracle !
Unboxing
When you receive this case, you know that your cash didn't went to the packaging, a simple translucent plastic bag with a pre-cut opening
The little bag contains the most basic accessories :
The case
A screen protector
A case template for cutting your own back image for the case
Yup, that's it... But who needs extras nowadays ?
At least everything is looking sharp and durable, this time the case fits perfectly the smartphone and doesn't leave any gaps.
It feels secure and looks nice altogether, I must say that this case is quite simple but does its job perfectly.
I haven't dropped my phone since then but I do think it will come unscathed.
A nice addition are little bumps on the back side of the case at each corners, so when the phone is placed on the back, the whole case isn't touching the surface and they're about 1 mm tall so they won't interfere with your hand.
As for the users who are wondering about the little USB hatch, it's still very easy to open (I don't have long nails) it and plug the power cord.
The only things that are going the wrong way are the back of the case that "stick" to the phone, sometimes you can see small succion marks but they can be removed with a simple pressure on the side of the case, and the other thing is that it attracts a lot of fingerprints... like a lot of cases...
The screen protections is like any other, nothing particulars about it, it's cut out for the speakers and led and it's mostly an expected thing from a phone case package.
Let's do a roundup !
The pros
Simple but still looks tough
Bumper protection has a nice rubber feel
Covers all the buttons and offer a little rubber cover for the headphone jack
Small bumps on the back
The cons
Small succion marks from the back of the case, the back of the case tends to suck to the back of the phone
Attracts fingerprints, grease marks & dust
Verdict
All in all, this case is living up to my expectations, looks simple but you can feel that the phone is protected and every little additions are welcome and useful.
This case clearly wipe away the bad taste that CaseMate left in my mouth, can't wait to receive the Orzly tempered glass to check if it all works together
Another review for you guys
Q&A
Anyone with the same case feeling the same as I do or I am missing something ?

is this the best case to get for the z3?

The casemate tough has a much larger cutout on the magnetic charger side.
Do you think this case will be compatible with the OEM docks? (http://www.sony.com.au/product/dk-48)

Quick poke around on the internet suggests it probably won't. Shttp://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/2n3seu/z3c_ringke_fusion_case_and_dk48_dock/)
I'm considering getting a z3c, but the community looks very sparse, and there's no actual usable roms. Is it even worth buying? :\

Too bad for the dock
As for buying it, I can't give your an objective feedback since it's my first Android phone ever but from my experience and the research I've done before jumping in, it's one of the best phone for this kind of size.
This little monster is compact, fast like it's bigger brother and even better looking than him. As for the Sony bloatwares, there are like 10 apps pre-installed, I'm not using most of them but they're not threatening my experience so it's ok for me.
For the custom ROM scarceness, it's linked with the DRM removal associated with unlocking the bootloader. As developers unlock more and more functionalities, more ROM will become available. If you want more informations about that, feel free to look around the General section of the forums.
I'm not very fond of custom ROM (I'm new to this) so for now I'll stick with the stock one.
Buying this phone is more of a love @ first sight and personal tastes, so it's mainly up to you to decide whether you will throw your cash at the screen or not.

Thanks for the insight.
Yeah it'd be my 6th Android phone, with my first being the very first Android phone (HTC Dream).
I've pretty much always used a custom rom with the exception of using rooted stock on the Nexus 5.
The hardware is what appealed to me as well, but it doesn't seem like the software is going to cut it just yet. S:

Just made friendship with my phone and before I bought it i ordered this case. Hope it will arrive soon so I can hopefully agree with your review.

I have a similar dock and without the insert mine charges fine with this case. I put a thin strip of velcro(the soft side) on the back edge where the phone rest instead of the insert.

Sorry I'm still using the USB cable to charge it but I've already made my mind to buy the Magnector X2 magnetic charger when I have the money, maybe later this year.

I bought both the Ringke and the Cruizerlite. I wanted to like the Ringke, but the left side along the charging port and the sd card port is just way to loose. I can't help but think it would even get looser over time and use. My phone wears the Cruizerlite and I'm very happy with it. The only thing I would change about the Cruizerlite is to make a version with a plain back on it.

Thanks for the insight, it's true that the left side is loose, but I'm not really complaining since I only manipulate this side when I need to plug the USB cable.
For now the Ringke is more than enough for me, the Cruzerlite seems a little bit flimsy for me and the way it blocks the USB section is bothering me. Maybe when I'll have a magnetic charger I will try this one.

I probably should have mentioned that I use the magnetic desk charger and I pair my phone with my PC over WiFi for any transfers, therefore I have no need to access the usb port.

Its the best phone I have owned and the ONLY android phone that I haven't rooted. There is no need.
Sony Skin is VERY minimal and I like the Sony Apps including the Walkman and Album. Nova launcher and a Lollipop Theme (Via Sony's own theming engine) has produced a phone I have ZERO complaints with.
Also the battery really is epic, I use stamina mode and have full sync of gmail, exchange, messenger, whatsapp, the lot and easily leave work with 70-75%
My only complaint like others have is the camera, normal lights its fantastic but low light over cameras beat it.
Trust me this is a great phone. And Lollipop is coming next month.
Seriously just buy one.

How to preapere your own back case for one plus one

YOU THINK I AM JOKING BUT ITS NOT JOKE
I WAS ONE WHO NOT PURCHASED ANY BACK CASE WHEN I GET ONE PLUS TO SAVE SOME MONEY
STILL I DON'T HAVE IT
I AM LEAVING IN SO RURAL AREA WHERE AMAZON PRODUCTS REARLY SHIPPED BUT I MANAGED TO GET OPO
FINALLY MANAGED TO PREAPERE ONE PLUS BACK CASE FROM BOX GIVEN BY ONE PLUS ITSELF
THE GIVEN BOX IS SO PREMIUM THAT I WANT TO USE IT FOR BACK CASE
BOX WHERE WE POOT OUR OPO HAVE GREAT FITTING TO PUT OPO
ONLY THING WE NEED TO CUT IT AS IT LOOK LIKE BACK CASE
REQUIREMENTS:-
SCISSOR
BLADE OR CUTTER
MARKING PEN
STEEL PINS
STEPS
1) REMOVE EXTRA SHEET OF PAD CONNECTED TO OPO CASE PRESENT IN U R OPO BOX USING SCISSOR
2) MARK EACH AREA GIVEN BELOW WITH MARKER PEN
SO U CAN CUTT IT CORRECTLY WITHOUT ANY MISTAKE
3) CUT FOLLIWING AREAS WITH BLADE OR CUTTER
AND WHERE ARE MIC POINTS JUST USE PIN TO MAKE WHOLES
1)VOLUME BUTTONS
2)POWER BUTTON AREA
3)SPERAKERS AND USB PORT AREA
4)HEADFONE JACK AREA
5)MIC POSITION PONTS
4) WHEN U GET FINAL PRODUCT GIVE FINAL FINISHING TO EDGES SO IT LOOKS GOOD
I MADE IT FOR FUN PURPOSE
BENIFITS
1) IT FEELS LIKE NEW PHONE IN U R HAND LIKE ORIGINAL BACK CASE
2)AGAIN WHOLE THING IS WHITE SO U CAN MAKE ANY DESIGN ON BACK
3)PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION TO ORIGINAL BACK FROM DUST ETC.
4)EASILY FITS IN POCKET
DRAWBACKS:
1) THOUGH MATERIAL IS PREMIUM BUT IT IS WHITE IN COLOR WITH SOME RUBBERIZED NATURE
IF U FALL U R PHONE IT MAY GET DAMAGED SO NO FULL PROOF PROTECTION
2)EASILY GET SOME DUST ,SMUDGE etc.
4) VOLUME PANEL AND HOME BUT AREA ARE HARD TO CUT IF THEY ARE NOT SHAPED CORRECTLY THEN ITS HARD TO POERATE VOLUME AND POWER BUTTON
5) IT GET FITTED WELL IN CASE BUT NOT PERFECTLY IF U DONT GIVE SOME SUPPORT WITH HAND TO CASE WHEN PHONE IS DOWNWARD IT MAY FALL
SO BE CAREFULL
FINALLY IT JUST FUN PURPOSE BUT GIVE IT TRY U WILL LIKE IT

All caps? Why all the shouting?

It is actually pretty impressive that you were able to cut that out to such a good fit. My opinion, however, is that the sandstone back is like a case in itself.

Thanx for reply
Now my phone is 6 month old
Corners sand stone black is getting worse day by day it is getting removed
Again i falled my phone 2-3 times and it chromium film get some damage
So i thought till get my new back case i should make an alternate solution
It just for fun not fullproof solution as back case
But when u use it u feel very handy than sand stone back case
And surprisingly every one asking which phone this is ( but this is not case previously)

I dropped my phone a few times too, and it looked ugly around the edges. The Housing Frame is really cheap and is pretty easy to replace. The back cover can also be bought for cheap. Once I finally got the parts, it took about an hour and now my phone looks brand new.
But yes, if it is hard to order parts to where you live... make a box case!

There's some links or suggestions where to buy things in the repair guide thread here.
I bought the Bamboo back instead of putting my old sandstone one back on. It's a bit slippery, but looks awesome.
The housing frame should cost about $10-15

This is awesome. By the way, how do you get lockscreen widgets?

Lockscreen widget? That are not lockscreen widgets but lockscreen shortcuts to open apps directly from lockscreen.
These are available in all custom roms in lock screen settings

pretty impressive that you were able to cut that out
