Hello there it's Dr. Wmm reporting here to review the Proporta Alu-Leather Case now as many of you know there are many cases to chose from
to chose from But we all know it is very hard to Find a case that offers Style comfort and protection at the same time well I must say I may
may have found a company that hit's all of those points.Well we will start with a Case that Proporta Calls there Alu-Leather Case now I have
had the chance to use this case for a while And these are my feelings about his product the first thing I looked for in this case was it's build
quality and I can say it is put togeter very well there are no lose seems are anything right off the back.Now this case was made for the Gsm
version of the Touch pro only So yes the Att fuze works just fine And from what I can see that is why this case Fits so well on the phone now
moving on the next thing I did was put my phone into the case witch was a little hard at first Due to the fact that the plastic was pushed down I
guess from the factory it was made in but none the less it went right in after a few trys.The next thing notice was that there is a plastic cover
that covers the typing keyboard Witch is great becuase it allows you to use the phone while it's in the case also it protects the keyboard from ware
and tear witch is great the next thing you will see is that on the back side of the case is a cut out for your Camera and flash to work but one thing
I diden't like was that there was no cut out for the speakers Witch a lot of you know the Touch pro already has a Volume problem to start So in the future
they should change that.Now moving on if you turn the case over you will find it has a Clip that works very well and can be screwed off and on when needed
a great feature that not to many company's put on there cases now when your not using your phone you simply flip over the leather flip lid witch connects to
the other side of the case very tight So it won't jar lose when bumped.Now before I end this Review Proporta also offers a Full lifetime Warranty witch is Great
for us everyday phone users So to End this review I would Say Go and get this case it's a must for the pro user I rate it a 8 out of 10 also head over to www.proporta.com
and check out all of there products they have to offer not just for smartphones but also iphnes ipods laptops and much more Thank you for your time

Can someone help me identify the part that is missing from the case of my 8525? If you are looking at the back of the case, the silver cylinder thingy that fits in the opening on the bottom right corner of the case is missing. I'd like to know what this piece does and if I need/should replace it.
TIA for any help!
Mine came the same way from AT&T. I always assumed it was for a Hermes feature AT&T opted not to include in their model, similar to the second camera.
Your stylus is missing
Easy enough to buy another ....

Not the stylus hole... the OTHER side
The stylus fits in the hole on the left side (from the back of the 8525), I'm referring to the hole on the RIGHT side. I believe it is usually covered with a silver circular thing.
That silver ring is nothing more than a place to attach a lanyard to give it it's fancy name. In other words a hook to clip a carrying strap onto if you want one. HTC supply a short wrist lanyard that clips onto the ring - other suppliers I don't know.
You are really not missing anything - with many phones the strap is an optional part.
This sort of thing:

Many thanks Mike (though, secretly I was hoping that it was a missing antenna attachment that would explain why my reception lately has been flakier than a stale croissant)!

You MAY be suffering from the signal flipping from GPRS to 3G. If you get dropped calls and high battery drain, you may want to select GSM Band only in:
Start>Settings>Phone>Band. (Change from Auto to GSM)
(Some branded models do not have this option)
I stress IF you have this problem. BUT it may be worth a try just to see if things improve. If you do not have the option then do a search on Bandswitch or Commmgr.pro
Mike
EDIT: By the way there is a place to attach an external aerial under the round rubber pop out cover on the back cover.
Hi everyone,
Today I bought a set of new styli from Adapt for my Hermes. I used it for a few times today. But one time when I reinserted the stylus after entering some text, I heard a "knack" sound in the silo. Now my stylus will fall out when picking up the device. I am very disapointed with this particular Adapt product and recommend everybody who reads this post to not purchase their styli.
But my real question is, does one of you know how to fix this?

You have either broken the white clip or dislodged the rubber block.
You would need to remove the back casing (4 screws) and unclip around the edge.

nice one mike,excellent answer.have a go dude its very easy actually
Fixed it!
Thanks Mike,
Fixed it this evening. Indeed, it was just too easy! Only releasing the back, after unscrewing it, was kinda tricky. Everything turned out fine and it works like a charm now.
Thanks again!
Scott
Good news!
I forgot to mention, but I'm sure you remembered to line up the camera's macro toggle arm when putting the back on again. If not you'll find the macro switch doesn't work. If so it's easy to remove the back, line iup the switch (a bit fiddly) and replace back cover again.
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the tip.
Before I attemted the "surgery", I read the blog you reffered to throughoutly. So I knew about the macro switch. But thanks again!
Scott
Do not express their views and support of the landlord, the more people want to verify
Hi everyone,
I have a peculiar problem. Somehow something (probably a tiny piece of cloth) is stuck at the very end of the stylus holder hole/sleeve. Now the stylus doesn’t get completely in anymore and I don’t think such small tweezers exist to extract this object.
I am considering opening the device up but the upper right screw has a sticker saying “void” on it, and I really wouldn’t want to void the warranty.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so how did you resolve it?
Thanks
I think opening up the whole device should be the last option, as you will loose your warranty probably.
What have you tried so far? Maybe you can go into the sleeve with something like a conductor and try to pull this tiny piece of cloth out.
I've tried with a toothpick but it was too small. I am thinking of buying a disposable medical syringe that should be longer and provide some suction to ge the thing out, but I am a bit scared of damaging something by "going to deep"
Uncurled paperclip?
try a vacuum cleaner?! perhaps he can vacuum it out ...
Sticky tape or blutack on the end of the stylus?
Kev
Thanks for the advice everyone. I've tried an uncurled paperclip. Even managed to make a tiny hook at the end of it but nothing. whatever is in there is well stuck to the bottom.
I am thinking of sending it back to htc under warranty. I'll play dumb and say I have no clue why I can't get my sylus completely in (which is not too false). I am hoping they'll open it up to check whether there is some fault, and, if they really find something stuck in there they might just take it off.
What do you guys think?
You should try something like that:

Run the device under a very high pressure fireman's hose, or one of the ones they use when stripping rust off ships paint (just dont get your fingers in the way).
That should do it.
well i found the HD sevice manual in pdf somewhere so if you need to open it i can say DONT DO WITHOUT MANUAL! lots of mistakes are possible when trying on yer own.
pm me for it if you are in need.
The diamond had a problem like this.....
there is a magnet that the stylis slides through....
on some diamonds it can come unglued.....and then the magnet can move
just wondering if this could be the same problem....you never know
I am a proud magic owner but as some users have found out like me, it is a slippery fish when it comes to its glossy covers. At first I did not use the slightly camp white leather pouch the magic comes with and now I am regretting it.
The phone has now acquired some bumps and scraps. I thought to my self I would replace the phone covers. So I ordered some on the bay and got them sent to my office.

I hunted down the service manual for the phone. (If anyone is looking for this I have it uploaded here).
I merrily went to work disassembling it bit by bit until I came across a slight problem. Now I have uploaded pictures to illustrate my woes.
First the battery cover was completely rubbish, the brushed steel plate that surrounds the camera was dented and also had the metal grate missing which usually covers the speaker. This was not the biggest worry however.
When I dismantled the phone I got to the stage of separating the the front cover from the middle part of the case. Now as you can see on this picture on the back of the mid section of the case there are two white label like stickers which have gold contacts on the inside.
There are more of these labels on the antenna at the bottom of the phone also. They make contact with gold contacts on the phones main board. I assume the bottom antenna is the gsm antenna and the the contacts on the top are for the gps. I could be wrong though this could be the other way around.
The problem is these label type contacts are not present on my new case mid section as I have shown here in this picture.
Has anyone else had any experience with changing the covers on this phone. Or if these contacts are important or even if its possible to find these labels so I can fit them to my new case.
Cheers for any help you can give me, or if any of this info is useful to you also if you are in the same sticky situation.

bumpity bump!
you could try contacting htc, maybe someone could be friendly enough to point you in the right direction. also email the vendor you got the parts from and say the housing is unusable. I ran into a similar problem with my g1, which ended up having the housing all jacked up.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thanks for your help, I will see if I can find out anything and post my findings.
Vale
Just curious, have you tried removing the stickers? Would they just rip apart? Is that the only complication?
You might be able to find a bricked/waterdamaged magic and change the housing without all the drama.
hey check this out too, it may help:

Very nice but I hope never to need it
Thank you, i intend to replace my front cover.
i think you shoud wait... i have removed the old front cover and now i have touch problems(i press certain area and the phone rigesters another area) don't know what to do??
i believe that my phone is out of warranty now.
if any one knows where the problem is please help!
the phone is now back from the repair center ... they have replaced the whole screen with touch ... it had cost me a lot of money "about 500 LE" and the phone now isn't the same as it was before this ... so i don't recommend any one of you to do this without being completely careful ...
now my phone is out of warranty ... and i have to pay extra money to revert it back to it's original case ... so BE CAREFUL with what you are doing as this is not easy as it seems to be.
Yes I fu**ed up mine too. First it was some indentation on the front upper rim, then the camera lens cover, so I decided I was up to a DIY work. I've often refurbished my dear SE phones to look as new but this level four repair has proven to be beyond my reach. The local service co. returned the phone in the same state and said no can do.
T'is the time I had to admit I really love this crappy piece of software on a wonderfully sweet hardware and have to get another one back, as price dropped as low as its makers dropped the phone itself.
Next SE X2 I will lay my hands on will have all my TLC and probably end up years from now as a stylish portable FM radio player, aside to an old R520m I use as the ultimate alarm clock with light sensor snooze.
thank for share
thanks for sharing
thanks very good
