Hello guys.
I received yesterday my official p8000 cover with smart-view.
I made a video about it if you want.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrnAY5PKqjk
Pretty good right now, I don't know yet if quality is good.
but first impression not that great.
EDIT: I don't know how to but youtube video here (doesn't seem to work) so here is the link.
Nice review. Thanks for adding subtitles ��
Wow, a magnet triggers the smart screen?
Please, tell us more!
I have bought another ”original” protective case, much cheaper - but it doesn't activate the smart screen (although it completely covers the screen).
Do you think I can ”smarten” my cover?
Merci in advance.

Before you do anything to your cover, have a magnet, and put it in front to the black thing between the front camera and the speaker.
If it show you a circle (like my video) it's ok for you.
What you have to do is to add a magnet inside your cover.
Honestly, it has more probability to destroy your cover or make it ugly than make it perfect.
I think it's way more better for you to add another cover. This one seems ok and seems to have a magnetic lock.

I have already punched a hole in the cover, down below, in order to actually see the notification led, so adding an ultra-thin magnet on the inside won't be a problem. The problem is, placing a magnet in that spot (the sensor between the front camera and the speaker) doesn't do anything.

Does anyone's sview clock still look like this? I'm sure mine used to but now doesn't have all the mini lines marking out the individual seconds/minutes - how to get them back?
When i open cover, it shows me always telephone, not homescreen. How can i change that?
What version rom are you using? I've not heard of anyone else with this problem so it is a strange one?!

5.1, from 20150909
I would recommend upgrading to Eragon ROM, perhaps wait for the soon to be released v4.0 or else you can try a factory reset of your current rom.
Mine look like this one.

here you can have a look at the upcoming official htc one x accessories. thought it was a good idea to put them in a seperate thread
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
heres some detailed info on some of the neat things http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2012/02/htc-one-x-accessories-available-first-from-mobile-fun/ but the one that catches my eye is the HTC One X Speaker Dock CR S650 can just keep my fingers crossed that someone releases a case which extends the pogo pins.
strange is that when i search for more images info etc on the s650 i get this dock http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884 its the same on this this page http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884&phone=229814 and on alot of pages so i guess they got the images mixed up..

Thanks, your help is apreciated
Hope the rest of the incoming members help us keeping it like this!!!

ohh that one..
was wondering why is it call a hard shell when there is a flip there...
no way am i getting a casing with a flip cover on it.. hate those designs..
I ordered this case and it came this morning: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubberised-...MCYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1331982985&sr=8-7
First impressions- I don't like the way it's not going to completely cover the top or bottom of the phone, it also seems like the kind of case that clips on - not a big fan - (I'll see how it fits when I get the device) - material seems good though (hard plastic).
May be a good stop gap until casemate get their tough cases out (loath to pay 30 quid though, but always found them to offer A+ protection)
@jermx i think this is a stand becouse this case is transparent

but noticed something, and maybe its just me having a complete lack of sleep (long story), but it seems the dock uses micro usb port of the phone, but if you think about which way you dock the phone, wouldnt that be the wrong side of the phone?
can someone confirm, or am i going crazy?

I thought the exact same thing earlier. The location of the micro usb plug on there would mean that the micro usb port on the phone would have to be on the right hand side, but in all pictures it's been on the left hand side.
Perhaps it's a mirror image, for some reason?
the phone has 5 metal dots on the back. these are the dock connection. not the micro-usb port.

As always any feedback is more than welcome
Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.
It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Like the fit, but blocking the led and awkward way you'd have to use camera make it a no go.
great review though.

Yeah I'm aware the proximity sensor turns the screen off when it's by the side of your face but I thought it was worth pointing out it still works with the case.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.
Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.
ive pre ordered the case as its not out in australia yet, i should be getting it next week. never really thought about the camera and stuff until you guys mentioned it. ive used pu leather flip cases before and havnt really found it a problem. hopefully ill enjoy it as much i planned to. i love the looks and quality of the case, ive paid $39 aus for this product. cant wait..

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.
Hi Guys,
I really like the concept of S view or Quick Circle i have seen one or two such cases on the interwebs and wondered, does OPO has the hardware to support such kind of cases?:silly:
The idea behind the s view case is that the amoled screen on Samsung devices save power by using less of the screen since an amoled screen only draws as much power as is on the screen. LG use an LCD panel like the OnePlus and have copied the idea with their circle cut out, for what ever reason I don't know, it doesn't save power. The key requirement is a hall sensor, a magnetic switch that tells the phone when the flip cover is closed. The oneplus does not have a hall sensor.
Sent from my TouchPad using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think i saw a video of the opo where the flip case made the screen to turn on. So i guess it has the hall sensor...

I've read on the Opo forum that cases like the above don't work for international Opo. It seems to be designed for the Color OS rom. I'm holding off from getting the Nillkin Sparkle case because I'm not sure if it would work properly.

If I place a magnet 2/3 down the rhs of the phone's edge, my phone will turn off. I am sure that something can be done with this so that we can all profit from a QuickWindow Case. eg. Nillkin

Hey guys,
somehow I actually don't like the Dot View Case but woudl really like to take advantage of the Dot View functionality.
So my question here is (since I could not find a topic related to this) wheter it is possible to add the ability to use Dot View screen (by e.g. double tapping screen)
without the case. Since this is done by some kind of magnetic detection should it be possible to do this by software or kernel modification.
Any ideas about this by people how got some knowledge about this is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Well, you can at least use the features with ANOTHER case than the dotview. You can take the magnet from dotview-case and fix it to some other case that has a cover for the screen.
I guess that is not what you intended. Additionally a dotview display watched without the cover is ugly, to say the least.

Yeah... I'll agree with this. It's NOT dots. It's giant colored squares designed to shine through the holes in the case.

It's just an optical zoom rather than digital. I have one from an old phone that I still use with the 1+, I just hold it in place with my other hand. Think of taking a picture through a telescope.

Hello,
I have one, with an extra tripod
not buy them, the lens entrance are too small, and you have to fit them REALLY exactly in the middle of our camera, just one hear size and it's not good, after that, you have to zoom in approx to 1.8x on the phone, because you see the sides of the lens and make a black outter circle...
it's cheap, it's nice on picture, but ultra hard to use in real life ...
