Hi,
Does somebody know what are the two metalic points in the back of the case ? Never found anything about that.

I was expecting some kind of charging points, didn't somebody try to apply 5V there ?
Good lord! Those points are for attaching original covers from Samsung!

No, I wont ! but it would have been a good idea for some docking station or additional battery connection, don't you think ?
Well, it doesn't seems to be ! How does that work with the cover ? Magnetic ?

The samsung cover clips to those back buttons in the back. Theres a megnet inside of the tab s too i think. I dont know why they had to do that but it has to do something with the design

I have the original Samsung case, its not magnetic, it clicks like a button (needs some pretty force). The back can be folded halfway, so the tab stays attached to half of the case. The beauty (i think) is that the tab is not IN the case, but lies on it.
There is a magnetic switch in the 10.5. I have a Logitech keyboard case and when you close it, leaving the tab on, it will turn off the screen.
I think the switch is somewhere around the lower right corner (facing the screen) but it's on the back side about 1/2 inch from the right and about 1 inch from the bottom. Wave a weak magnet in that area and you'll find it. Like the tip of a magnetized screw driver.

So i realized i had a problem.. i had no dock. I saw some other self made docks around the forum and realized i didn't have any of the supplies So i made my own.
Required:
1 red cup
2 Screws
1 push pin
2 Screw anchors (thx MV10 for clearing that up )
Basically place the cup upside down, place the two screws equally apart on the bottom, place the two screw holsters on the sides of the push pin (mine fit fairly snug actually) then find the spot you'd like to angel your phone with and place it in, put the phone on and verify you like how it feels (might take a few adjustments here and there). Enjoy
I know it's extremely ghetto but hey it's labor day, and i'm at work (sucks) and there was nothing to do!
Attached is an image of the final product.
Sure it's ghetto, but it works and I'll bet you weren't bored for about half an hour finding the supplies and putting it together. Plus you can feel self satisfied whilst you watch your video

Sooo True! the cool thing about this is, the bezel on the phone actually kinda locks into the screws...the only funny thing is when i get a text the entire cup starts moving rofl.. Watching Kick-Ass on it right now too Working perfectly for what it's worth

Nope, it's like the one I liked. You could fold where the base connects to the middle. It's made of metal also, but thanks though.
The phone can either sit horizontal or vertical. The reason why I'm looking for one is because once I get a case. I prefer not to take off the case when I have to plug in.

Looks too big to hold the SGSII in portrait orientation.
I just got this one, which is a battery charger that doubles as a stand. Cheap and it is an original Samsung accessory too!

The one that I got does not charge the phone because I wanted to be able to use it in the landscape orientation as well. There is a version that charges but you can only stand the phone in portrait orientation for obvious reasons. Pic below from Clove.
Well if you just want a basic stand, there is an Otterbox stand but Im not sure if they sell it retail. I got one at Showstoppers during MWC. Will try and find a link
hello has anyone used their s4 without the battery cover? Reason I ask is because I have a UAG CASE + ZEROLEMON BATTERY + WIRELESS CHARGING PAD. It causes the UAG to not sit flat on the raised feet.
Anyways is anything bad going to happen without the battery cover?
No problem, it's just a piece of plastic, there are no integrated antennas or anything. If you can prevent your battery from falling out you'll be fine.
Yes you can use it without the battery cover, let me know how it fits on your UAG case without the cover. I'm interested in that battery but I don't want a bulge on the back of my case
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
I read in another thread(forget which one) awhile back that the signal is actually weaker without the back cover. Weird, but that's what I remember reading.
No way does the cover have anything to do with reception, you read wrong, other than the battery just falling out, it can run cover free.
Not recommended but ok.

In some phone ya back plate holds antenna connections. For example my old HTC Sensation had it. And iPhone 4 has it. But Samsung never had it on back cover. Yes u can use phone without it but it will catch dust inside fast in your case you should be fine because u going to have case.

And here is a repair guide for those of you who are brave enough!
And a https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+One+Teardown/26484 for those who wish to repair the phone themselves.
@zephiK thanks ill add to op
In the ifixit teardown I noticed that the battery is not TOO difficult to remove. Does anyone know if replacement batteries are available for this device.
It is using a 3.8v 3100mah LiPo battery.
OnePlus probably woudn't sell the batteries on their own. I also read on another forum somewhere (can't remember which one now) somebody was thinking of creating a way that the battery connector could be extended and fit into the battery compartment. This way you wouldn't have to unscrew the plate just to take out the battery.
Even if this is not feasible it would still be reassuring to know where to purchase replacement batteries from. If anybody knows anything on this, please let us know, thanks.
Thanks for the link. Where is the repair guide? I see a Teardown link.

When installed does this have little dots on the top of the screen. A friend just recently had a new 3rd party screen/digitizer installed on her G2 and you can see like small dots spaced perfectly across the phone. I am wondering if she just got a low quality replacement.
I've tried many times to repair my phones myself, every single time there was something gone wrong :laugh: Anyway glad to hear this :victory:

I'we seen 6 OPO's (with different dates of production) and all of them have yellow band at the bottom of the screen, so I can assumed that the most of OPO's have yellow band. My three friends says, tahey have no yellow band, but it is defenitely there (maybe they don't want to see it).
Go search for "Yellow" in OPO pages and you will see that so much people talk about it.
Even OPO admitted, that every 1+ have slightly yellow band on bottom of their phones.

Funny mine doesn't. So ha to you.
I hope you are not colour blind …
Mine doesn't have the yellow band either. I thought it was a bold statement.
I received 2 and neither had the yellow band. I am certain that I have at least average color differentiation.
Can confirm no yellow banding on mine

Tried putting it together. With all my best efforts, I've failed.
Only got this far. I dunno how to build the back part.
I tried searching for it on the interwebz but to no success.
Can anyone please point me out to a tutorial on how to build this?
Extra info: My OPO doesn't come with the Cyanogenmod logo at the back (dunno if this is a good thing). And it's got ColorOS bundled (Now using temasek's).
TIA!!
Have you scanned that qr code? May be some info will be there.

Thank you very much!
How is the slot made? Is it folded inwards? If so, guess I'll have to work a bit with scissors and glue ?
Can you provide the measure of that big horizontal fold near the top, so that I could calculate its dimension (preferably in metric)? ☺
Thank you again! ?
no idea if this is right or not (dont have the dock) but it looks like it might be an opening for a "speaker"
if you look in the bottom of the slot where the phone sits, you can see that its open for the speakers.....so maybe the sound gets directed down and out the back side of the dock.....maybe?
dont have anything that I can draw, but the opening at the back might point towards the phone....so the sound kinda loops around.
