Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a Rearth Ringky slim on eBay and was told it was a version 2, It has now arrived as I am debating if it is the 1st or 2nd version.
It has a little flex but I am not sure if that is me being fussy. Is there any way to tell?
Cheers!

If it has any flex at all on the left side, then its the faulty version, sorry.
I should be very tight, and i can say that you will notice the difference ones you have tried both.

Thats the problem I have only tried one, It did seem a little wobbly on one side, but i pushed it in a little bit and now it fits nice!, Also ive been told the top left corner is raised more on the version 2? Would you know if this is correct?

Okay thats great, with stuff like this I seem to be a little OCD. As I want everything about my phone to be perfect!, So I just want to make sure I am not having my pants pulled down and I do have the correct version.

I'm the same way. Except that since the revised version had that one big corner, I just kept using the old version because that corner really hurt my brain after I noticed it .

Hahaha same! With the old version all I did was bend in the sides and it fits fine... Did you fix that to fox the issue?

Has anyone ran into anyplace where you can purchase the HTC Raph back shell cover?
I heard it isn't as glossy/fingerprint magnet as the Euro version.. more rubberized.
www.cnn.cn doesn't have anything listed, not even a TP.
take a piece of sandpaper and remove that shine.

LOL....funny i'm thinking of that too...but lucky my HTC back cover is rubberized..........
Sorry forgot to mentioned mine HTC is asian model...
What?! I want a rubberized back...
Will be nice to have. I am sure they will come out with replacements soon.
http://www.expansys-usa.com has a few with batteries.

It's exactly what it says it is. A battery cover. A pouch for an extra battery.

Oops... Seems they reused the same stock image for the P3300's battery cover.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=143016
Still, $33 is a lot of money for rubberized plastic, especially if I'm not even 100% certain it'll fit. And I want to see an accurate picture before I plunk money down.
My TP has rubberized back. Bought in Norway.

I forgot to mention that I have the Fuze
All that someone needs to do is see if the European Touch Pro cover fits the US AT&T Fuze.
Doesn't anyone have access to both phones to test this???
(Interesting...This is my first post and I've been a member since April 2006....I'm always in here reading and I just never thought to ask anything before...weird because I post all the time over at HoFo).
if someone has a dremel tool, maybe u can fine sand it, and leave the triangle that says HTC and around the camera/flash untouched, make a rectangle shape around the autofocus text, then take it to the mall to one of those dog tag kiosk that can itch your name or logo on the back like laser itch, i think that will look cool...
while ur at it itch ur e-mail/contact info on the inside of the cover in case it gets lost!!

can you post a pic of that?
has anyone ran into anything yet?
Found This case on ebay, think i can just use the back part on my fuse?
I saw the one on ebay too, but how come there is a big triangular hole where the camera is? How are you supposed to cover that or is it just left open?
I believe they want you to transfer it from your existing hardware... But, with my luck I would screw it up and not have a battery cover at all.
I wanted to make this thread because I've read in a few different threads that people are having problems with the slide up screen.
Apparently, if you hold the phone upside down - the screen will slide down and sort of just do it's own thing.
I also read that some people who have their G2 are not experiencing that same problem. Defect? Or is it supposed to do that and is a result of bad designing?
I plan on getting my G2 Oct. 6 and I just wanted everyone to be aware of that potential problem.
If you are having or not having that issue, feel free to let it be known below.
Thanks!!
I'm pretty sure it's a defect with a few people's phones. So far, only one person out of like 6-7 said it happened to them. Maybe he could tighten a torx screw or something? Not too big of a deal... I guess we'll see!
I thought the issue was when it's closed, people hold it upside down and it starts to kind of open up?

I have this issue. If you hold the bottom of the phone, and them hold the phone upside down, then the screen portion slides along the hinge all on its own.
I believe this is an issue with it being a non spring loaded hinge, but I will confirm tomorrow maybe if I can drop by a T-mobile store and ask to see their demo ( I think they will let me if they see I have one)
Hmm.. I'm pretty picky about these kinds of things. Crossing my fingers the G2 I get will be solid.

From my readings on this forum, more than one...
Lol, yeah. My bad I must have miss read your OP.
Haha, all good. But man I really want this phone. Luck pre order people
When's your arrival date? They got me for the 1st.
the demo i have has this problem, i'm not really that picky but to be honest i feel a bit burned on the slide since i had a G1 first and insurance couldn't get me another one.

Then it sounds like this is an issue that might happen with time? Hinge gets loose/relaxed?

See I can't really call it loose. And if it were any firmer it wouldn't slide right. I just guess I wish it would hold tighter? I'm not sure. Its solid as hell , and the hinge is metal , and slides like butter, and when in the up it has a very slight wobble? Maybe its something to get used to.
It doesn't feel cheap by any means. But in that respect I'm not entirely sure how it is supposed to feel..being one of the first owners and all.
i don't like that it "falls" open, not that i hold the phone at that angle very frequently, but it would annoy me later on. but as already stated, it's not really loose, the only person to use this thing was me all day and it was like this right out of the box, i think the hinge itself is a little too slick(greased or internally loose) but it may get better with time. we will see what happens, as with all things we won't know till later
Haha man, I'm not even pre order status. I have to wait until it comes out. But I got a homie who works at T-Mobile. He said he gonna hook me up some how.
But yea, I wonder if they will fix this on 2nd gen models. Not wanting to wait that long tho. Sucks that this is an issue tho.

I wouldn't even say it needs fixing. The G1 wasn't even solid initially. The left side wobbled etc. The EPIC has wobble side to side when screen is closed and when open.. I think this is the most solid slider I have used since the TP2. I guess I'm just gripe-y
hehehe! I'd rather have this issue than the one on the MTS. You practically need a crowbar to open the keyboard. and as you open it, it makes a horrible grinding sound.

I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case you'll get it replaced.
Hey guys,
Got my wifi xoom a couple of days back from Best Buy and noticed that the rubber part is level on the left but protrudes out very slightly in the right and levels up again. The tab works fine though. Should I return it and get a new one or is it fine? I think its just the new gadget paranoia
Doesn't affect functionality then don't return it. Who knows its probably new gadget paranoia
I have that too on my 3G version. It works perfect so I am not worried. Some early pics I seen on the net looked like they had the same. I was worried for a day or two myself.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

2. can i cross flash custom roms on the ls980 ? i will use gsm network in india.
thanks a lot for your time.

Build q is great, sturdy phone. But since you're on a bike I would highly suggest getting a case. Since it's the sprint variant, I don't think you can flash international ROM's. You might have to stick to just Sprint ROM;s.

i use a case with all my phones.
even those bricky lumias lol :laugh:
what i am actually worried about is the phone creaking or getting bent in my pocket. the phone actually seems fragile by its looks. the thin bezel and its 8.9mm thickness.

Ohhh, in that case it's a really sturdy phone. Nothing to worry about there. While the back is plastic, the frame around the phone is very well put together.

No problem, if you take a look at the ROM's in the G2 Developmental Section, you can see a bunch of ROM's that work for numerous versions such as the D801, D802, Verizon version, etc... But so far I don't really see them for Sprint version. I tried out the Lightning ROM and I think I read somewhere in that thread that it works for Sprint. Just make sure you read the thread of the ROM you want before trying it out just to be sure.
