[Q] Looking for Nexus 4 virtual Template model

Currently i am planning on getting the Nexus4,
And also i have plans to design my own protective case for it and have it be printed in 3D.
Though to design a case that doesnt only look good but also fits tightly on to the body of the phone i'm gonna need to have a reference model.
With a reference model i can create a case that fits snug around the phone and doesnt have it slide around, but also doesnt scrape/damage the phone.
Does anyone know how i could obtain a accurate virtual representation of the phone?
Here are some examples of 3d printed cases made for the (much easier to reverse engineer) iphone4:

I'm interested in this too so I can create a DIY carbon fiber cut-out.

I dont know why people insist on carbon fiber accessories when the material dampers wireless (wifi, BT, antenna) performance

Well ****. This sounds like an awesome idea. Hope you're able to get an accurate model of the device (and share). I'd like to do something like this as well. Maybe a cool case with "bolts" printed into it to make it look like it was pieced together and NEXUS cut out in the back

I haven't even been able to find an official press render of the thing over 500x500 or so in size so I can start working on a .psd for the device. Good luck finding a 3D reference lol

Good luck with this! It looks cool but I doubt you will find anything this early before it's even released. Your best bet might be to just wait for it to be released and then get someone to make it for you or do it yourself.

good to see positive reactions about it, if i cannot get a reference model i might just have to "reverse engineer" the entire thing.
Though this would be quite the complex process, mostly because it's a highly reflective object.
Most 3dscanners are based on laserlight that bounces away if the object is shiney. Though i dont feel like spraypainting/powdercoating a brand new phone to make it non-reflective
Another way would be to use a tactile scanner that uses a 3 axis "stylus" to put points down in 3d space.
Though the point of such a device is always razor sharp, i dont know how it will fair against gorilla glass and the plastic on the side.
Also this method is very succeptible to having the model slide around while trying to digitise it, even if it's just fractions of mm's
ah well, ill first have to get my hands on to the phone....

I'd suggest checking with a T-Mobile store and seeing if they have any plastic dummy phones or check eBay. Spray painting that would be much less harmful haha I'm definitely in this project. I'd like a cool custom case

Any updates on this? A quick google search popped up a few models on a site called turbosquid, but the price is fairly prohibitive.

Was looking at possibly designing a case and/or dock myself. Any luck with finding a 3d model of the Nexus 4?

We could always try different sizes and see if they fit on the phone. Considering high prices of 3d prints, the best idea would be to just print some little parts and then compare with the actual phone. The cheapest dummy I found is http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T-LG-E960__dummy-phone-model-for-lg-e960-nexus-4.html so you don't have to worry that you'll scratch your phone. If anyone here owned a 3d printer, that'd be great.

I'm trying to get someone to design one to cover my note 2 battery in my phone lol.
The back of my phone is covered in electrical tape at the moment. Not a good look lol!

ill have to check, also i'm still looking into the models to see if they are actually based on cad and measurements instead of just visual reference.
For a holder/case/expansioncase the model needs to be accurate to fractions of millimeters.

[Q] Flip cover and CM11

I Know the flip cover wont work on CM11 note 3 (I have the original black wallet flip cover). But I have some questions about it:
- As far as I know the flip cover wont work on cm(11) for note 1 and 2 also, why why is this not built in cm?
- Has anybody got it to work on cm11 (using the original sensor in the flip cover, not the proximity sensor)
- can i expect it being build in in the future?
I really liked that when I opent my cover the screen went on so I miss it.
One of the reasons why I bought the note is the cover that really feels like it's part of the phone
Sorry for my bad english!

It doesn't work due to it being a Samsung mod.
Won't work using the original sensor, only proximity.
I wouldn't expect it to be implemented, however it *may* and that's a BIG may.

Yes, I was afraid of that. Its just a shame that a nice feature like that is lost
the other Samsung features like multi window and hand gestures are just stupid and i can do without them. And i am glad the s-pen still works (only no Samsung note app but i have papyrus)
The flip cover is just a shame

Use GMD_Spen for pen features, it's a great alternative :good:

There's actually an ongoing project to support the original sensor of the s-view and flip wallet case. It's called Hall Monitor.

I also tried GMD Spen - it's a good piece of software but for some reason it was not playing well with CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy installed, therefore I had to uninstall it.
Some Spen gestures are natively supported by CM11 (under Language & Input > Stylus gestures) and CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy offer a set of useful extra features.
Both CM Spen Add-on and Note Buddy are available from the Play Store.

Try using tasker.
When the magnetic sensor reaches a certain level determined by the magnet in case screen turns on.
I used to use this method on my s4 to detect a magnet in my car dock and activate Bluetooth and start playing music.
If you want I can try and make you an app using tasker?

Just tested Hall Monitor on my Samsung Mega 6.3 running RR Rom, and so far so good.

Info:
Original note 3 cover works with cm12.1.
I open the cover and the phone awakes.
Didn't found a cover app yet....

Anyone knows about development revival of HallMonitor? Last version (0.4.2 from 22 Jul 2014) doesn't support CM12.(1) (see issue #52 on HallMonitor's GitHub page)

Review After Having the Phone for 6 Days

OK my short review from having the LG G4 for 6 days now! Just as background, I luckily got the phone through a workmate i know in South Korea so the one i have is the South Korean model. Also, the South Korean version gives you something that is a bloody lifesaver and just so useful and you wish you'd always had one: an extra battery. More on that later.
So I have been using the Nexus 6 since launch and love it. To me at least it's been great – big screen, big development on XDA (I love custom roms/kernels and flashing in general) and over all a phone that i have loved. The only issues i have had really are: the screen is ok but could be better, the camera is ok and could be better and it is heavy and hefty so I use it one-handed but only just. It's a monster!
So last few months have been looking for something not quite as big with a better camera and better screen. I tried both the S6 and S6 Edge and sold them within a few days. Mostly because i think they are just too small and poky or something. S6 Edge was too sharp for me.
Along comes the G4! And if you don't want to read the boring detail below then in short: I love it and haven't really seen any faults at all.
Boring Detail:
Battery:
Here's a tricky one as i have always had decent battery on all phones i get. And all i do is read the same thing over and again on battery threads everywhere: 'i get only 2 hours Screen on Time help!' and then 'i get 7 hours Screen on Time and i'm amazing!'. The problem is the same: every person's usage pattern and apps and mobile reception is different so this all accounts for differing Screen on Time. So – FOR ME – i am getting consistently around 5 to 5.5 hours Screen on Time which is perfectly fine. So i reckon on MOST of the current flag ships you'd be getting pretty similar SOT.
However the one big bloody glaring thing about the South Korean model is that extra battery and that right there should solve pretty much ALL battery issues. So I just have the extra battery in the charging case attached to a USB cable on my computer. If I have gotten low on a day where i have the used phone a lot then 38 seconds later i have swapped batteries for the new 100% one! How good is that! Do yourself a favour and get a spare battery! No doubt they will be available shortly.
Two things that reviews are singling out as ‘cons’ which I think is just silly.
Wireless charging. I love wireless charging and until you use it a lot you don’t realise how convenient it is. I also have two Tylt Vu chargers and they are expensive so i want a device that uses wireless charging! Ok so the G4 has wireless charging CAPABILITY meaning that you need a different back than the one that comes with it and it will work.
Already LG has said that the G4 circle case will have that. So all I will be doing is waiting for the inevitable Shenzen rip off sticker that you stick inside your case that gives me wireless charging. I will give it 4 weeks max before they are on Ebay for $5.
Quick charging. There’s this boring debate that the G4 did not include Quick Charging 2.0 even though Qualcom have it in their chip. Big deal! What you do get is the 1.8 Quick Charge which isn’t quite as good but is still perfectly acceptable! In my testing it charges a bit over 1% per minute. Which is just fine.
Feel:
Sorry about the pretentious term ‘feel’ but it’s the best way of describing a major kick ass thing this phone has! It is just the BEST weight, feel and hold of any phone i’ve owned. It’s not light, it’s not heavy. It’s not small and it’s not phablety big. It is juuuuuuuust right. Dunno what it exactly is – maybe the slight bend? But it’s great.
Leather. I would never in a squillion years think i would own a leather phone or that the leather would work. But it does. Looks good, feels great, is great. Photos do not do it justice. I got the black weather which i love but if i was to buy it again the brown/tan i think could be the pick. If you get the plastic to save a few bucks then, um, don’t!
Camera:
Not going to go into detail because every review already has and i am not a manual camera person. I am Mr Point and Shoot. Suffice to say it takes very good photos. Had it over the weekend at Adelaide with relatives and photos turned out great.
Lag/Stutter/UI Blah:
Ok so on EVERY phone i own i remove the stock launcher and install an aftermarket one because guess why? They’re better. Don’t understand why people cry about the OEM launcher when the aftermarket ones are installed within 16 seconds and are better anyway.
Stutter/lag – again this is another topic that i don’t understand. I really haven’t had a phone that suffered at all from this. I ALWAYS change the animation three options to 0.5 in Developer Options and this often is more than enough. Don’t need to be rooted and takes 14 seconds – why wouldn’t you do it? In general though, i have not had stutter or lag in this phone at all.
The Knock Code to turn on screen. Sorry but every phone that doesn’t have this should get that as a ‘con’. It is just soooo convenient. Love it.
Notification shade works well. Lots of options, lots of shortcuts to choose.
Notification light – a no brainer and dunno why the Nexus 6 didn’t have it and i had to install a custom ROM to get it. It works and works fine.
Ability to change nav bar buttons around and add a couple more. Love this as i always like my back button on the right not the left.
These little customisations are what really makes the UI i think. So handy.
Display:
Great. Bright and similar when i had the S6 as a stand out. Reviews have covered it pretty well too – is an excellent colourful display. LG got it right.
Sound:
Decent! I just don’t use my phone to listen to stuff except for headphones but is loud and ok. Not as good as HTC but good for a phone.
Weird big bloody LCD density:
Here’s a weird thing which no review has mentioned which is the only thing that really annoyed me: the density is 620! Meaning that things are huge! Everything looked like a huge fonted behemoth! And without root i wasn’t able to use the easy way of changing the density via build.prop and eventually had to do it via hooking it to the PC and using Android SDK tools and change it to 540.
Overall:
Found a phone that for me at least satisfied most of what i want in a phone very well. And i haven’t even missed using a custom rom because you can’t root it yet! Never thought i’d say that. So once everyone has it in a month then hopefully development will mean it is even better!
Oh and get the effin leather purlease!!

Thank you for this nice review! Really appreciate it

That was a bloody useful review. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I'm on a GN4 but as usual itching for my 6 month change...
Q how is the speakerphone? GN4 is excellent. Is it loud? I was a little disappointed by the g3.
The.pixel density issue is interesting. I loved the g3, but for some reason I found it difficult to read text. Even when I changed the size. Partly it's my middle age eyesight but it's not an issue i suffer from with the galaxy note series or even s5. Could never figure out why I found the g3 difficult to read. Perhaps it's that pixel density.

Yes the speaker is definitely loud. It is on the back of the phone though and is just one speaker. I wouldn't say quality is great but definitely loud.
Yes so weird about the LCD density! But yeah if you like big text then all good.

Great review, we are all hopeful we get root, bootloader unlock and Roms as well.
After installing the alternative home launcher, have you had any issues with the Knock On or Knock Off feature?

Nope knock on/off works great still with alternative launcher.

I have read in only 1 review the leather is kind of poorly attached to the plastic back. How nice is the leather attached? Does it wrap around the edges and conceal any plastic back? Clean install?

Seriously it's great. Photos don't do it justice though. It's hard leather but looks and feels really sturdy and just matches the phone.
It doesn't wrap around all the edges though.

So what does it do? I must wrap all the way around the edges of the plastic back it is attached it? if it does not, it would peel up. I am talking about wrapping around all of the edges of the plastic back so NO plastic back is seen along the edges. Not wrapping around the entire phones back

This is great news thank you for confirming this, appears that owners of the G3 and G2 were forced to use 3rd party apps to enable one or both of those features when using an alternative home launcher. Im assuming you are using Nova Launcher, I have also always installed that stable application on top of whatever manufacturer I buy.
What is something that has surprised you the most about the G4?
Any feature or something unique from that phone that reviewers or users have not thought of bringing up?

Ok yeah.... as I had expected and hoped.. it does wrap around the edges of the battery door. So, you do not see the leather end and then some plastic of the back battery door. And, agreed, and as expected, it does not wrap leather up around the edges of the phone, just the battery door - so it is a nice clean finish.

Can you expand a bit on how you addressed the density? I know you said "hooking it to the PC and using Android SDK tools and change it to 540.". I would modify in build.prop as you mentioned, but no root so no way so I am not so sure what you mean here how you accomplished this tweak.

Can the G4 turn Chrome into a free floating window?

Great review, very informative.
I passed on the G3 after really liking the G2 mostly due to the locked BL. I hope LG provides the ability to unlock it this time around like Sony and HTC do.
Or someone here cracks it much faster than it happened on the G3 which took what seemed like forever.

Yeah, it's a great device, IF you get a good one! The same problems that bothered the OnePlus One, are coming back to the OnePlus 2.
SOFTWARE problems, then some potential problems with the touch sensor that is starting to crop up. If you remember some of the problems with ghost touches, that appear to be associated with grounding problems with the screen. People have noticed if they are gripping the oneplus2 with one hand, wrapped around the metal band, and try to use the touch sensor thingy, it may not work, or produce an unintended result. If you wear gloves, or have the phone placed on a table, the fingerprint thingy sensor works just fine.
If you have a problem, good luck with opening a ticket and returning it.
I'm of the opinion that OnePlus, is nothing more than a paper company, that does beta testing for Oppo, who owns them.

Well, at some points I'll have to disagree.
With me, finger print censor works great. It depends on you how you've set up fingerprint. Ie covering your fingerprint in almost every possible way that you may use.
But you'd ask me, native camera app UI could be much better than this. There is HUGE space for improvement here.
Also, I don't know if battery life is that great as they claim. But I stay most of the time at home or at office so don't have problems.

My thoughts (I've had a Xiaomi Note and an MX4):
1. Much better build quality than both - be sure to Swap the sandstone back for a Bamboo or Apricot to finish the job. Seriously night and day between those and the OnePlus One.
2. Camera is better than both but slower to shoot. This needs sorting out via software. I'm surprised at this because Oppo (chief investor/owner) have always excelled in camera software. My find 5, find 7, and R5s have always been instant shooters.
3. Oxygen OS is much better than Hydrogen, MIUI, and Flyme. It's no coincidence that Chinese market focused OSs are dumbed down and quite childish in appearance - that's how most of them are (ColorOS is another example). I don't mind them, and they're certainly usable, but prefer the more mature and light skins... Preferably as close to stock as possible like Oxygen.
4. Battery is good. Similar to OPO and Xiaomi Note.
5. Performance is great. Smooth and fluid with no app refreshing issues. The SD810 may be underclocked but you will not notice it. And it doesn't get hot.
There's more but you need to try it yourself. As a OnePlus One owner, I upgraded and recommend others do too.

Agree with every word you said.
Wanted to asked if Bamboo is really good?? I am quite confused between bamboo and kevlar

I don't have Kevlar yet but will probably order it next when I go for the Rosewood.
At the moment I just have Bamboo and Black Apricot. I prefer the Apricot's look as it matches the rest of the device. However, the Bamboo feels really great and doesn't show any fingerprints whatsoever and it looks good albeit in a different style.
The Kevlar will look awesome if you want to go ultra stealth.
To be honest, I think they all look good in their own way and want them to swap out depending on my mood. Before I saw and tried then I though they were a bit gimmicky and might feel cheap but it's the exact opposite.

I don't have Kevlar yet but will probably order it next when I go for the Rosewood.

The last two (Kevlar and Rosewood) are mid-delivery so will probably arrive tomorrow. I'll post a quick opinion when they land.

I've got about 12 hours before my invite runs out. Has anyone tested to see if both sims are capable of 4g service simultaneously. I know it's dual standby. Thanks for any info.

You mean use 4G (LTE) days on both SIMs at the same time? If so I'm afraid not. In the settings you have to choose s preferred SIM for data.

Sorry, no, not what I mean. Badly worded. I want both sims to be 4g active at the same time to receive calls / text. I do understand only one sim will be 4g active for data at anytime.

Arrived today. Must say the Kevlar is real nice. Slightly textured so it grips but not like the sandstone; matte finish so doesn't show prints to badly; and of course it looks stealthy and themes well with the rest of the phone.
If I was going to have one cover for appearance alone, Kevlar would be it.
Small note: I do recommend changing from the sandstone cover because all other covers are slightly thicker, thus making the camera area slightly inset. This means you can go caseless and not have the camera scrape across a surface when you lay the phone down. With the thinner sandstone, the camera area sticks out just enough to be the first point of contact.

Thanks a lot for your review of Kevlar. Wanted to know user review rather than a YouTube videos.
Also, about the camera going slightly inset after putting on a styleswap cover, I observed that in videos and they were also telling it made a device little hefty. But on a positive side, since I don't like to put on any covers on my smartphone, I thought kevlar would be the best one to protect it from any accidental physical damage.
Again, appreciate your time!

I prefer caseless too. With recent phones having protruding cameras it's almost been a necessity to protect it.
Kevlar + no case = best look and feel.

Got invite today a few hours left I have opo and happy with it is it worth getting three opo2 seems no much difference besides finger print scanner and no NFC. I keep changing my mind to buy one or not heard the battery life is 4 hours screen on time due to 810 CPU which is worse than opo what do you think

At the moment, my OP2 is in my hand with Kevlar styleswap on! It's really awesome feel and looks awesome as well..! Really happy that I went with Kevlar! Thanks again!

Op2 has been the most powerful device at its price..

Wallet type / flip case without magnet??

Just bought the Note 10+ which kind of disappoints me when I see the screen compared to my brilliant note 4 but that's another story.
I've tried a number of wallet cases but almost all the ones I see are with magnetic closure and that affects the S-Pen writing on the edge even with the tag stretched out as far as it goes.
Just wondering if anyone has found a case which doesn't use the magnetic closure?
I don't understand why manufacturers put magnets anywhere near the note series cases - Even Snakehive leather cases seem to do that and they tell me they don't get to test the devices when they make the products . Duh! then they tell me that they only get a few complaints and that is probably because in reality there are quite a few note owners that simply don't use the S-Pen.
I've always had wallet cases, prefer them and the one for my Note 4 was great (manna by Leinke), this had a perfect interference clasp which has never failed in all the years I've used it but sadly they didn't make one for the Note 10 / 10+ .
If anyone managed to find something that works I'd love to know especially one available in the UK.

Hi, I was looking for the best flip case with a magnetic closure for a long time and finally I found it. The only functional and best ..

Well in case you didn't notice this thread was about finding a case for the Note 10+ which doesn't have a magnetic closure.
Magnets and S Pen do not play well together

I have a Belemay wallet case without magnet and am very happy with it. ordered it off Amazom
