Couple questions...
How does this improve battery life? By increasing the radio signal?
Are the 2 metal contacts under the panel the radio?
Are you sure it's safe to put a conductive piece of metal there... Its not going to short circuit anything?

The aluminum foil acts as a supplementary conductor, meaning it helps the antenna capture the signal ...

Sorry, I don't buy it. If putting some metal over those parts improves radio performance, why wouldn't HTC have done so?

!!!DO NOT USE!!! a magnetic buckle case

Do not use a magnetic buckle case for Note II, especially the kind with the magnet embedded inside the back of the case, like this one:

}
It will make the sPen unable to draw on the area near the magnet (when the phone is attached to the case), like this:
The problem is gone once I detached the phone from the case. Who knows if it would harms the phone in the long run if I don't.
My solution is giving it a surgery, remove the magnet and replace with velcro and I'm happy again :
ok thank you !
chip ass cases
Am on a case hunt. Thanks for the info
Thank you for your review as i was using one magnetic case, which i stopped using now.
Thanks!
The magnet won't hurt the phone, but the s-pen is being powered by magnetic resonance (just like any wacom pen). So, a strong magnet behind the screen might conflict with that.
My solution is: don't use the pen

HTC One Sliding Apart!

I've just noticed the front layer of my One is sliding away form the body below. Imagine the top layer is the screen and speaker grilles, the middle layer the white band and the bottom the layer the body.
The top layer has twisted slightly and you can see the top two layers are not quite in line. In the bottom corner the middle layer is slightly exposed.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to take pictures to show.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'm thinking it can only get worse.
Thanks
Take a picture in the mirror, i would definitely like to see this.
This is weird. Need to see this
Never heard of a phone doing like this

I don't know exactly what you are talking about, but the phone is held together with adhesives so I don't doubt it. please take pictures.
Sadly, I'm travelling at the moment so can't get the pics everyone is craving . As soon as I found a decent camera, I'll put something up
In for nud..... I mean pics

Disassembling P7

Overall I'm really impressed with the build quality, but I have one annoying issue. Somehow dust comes in through the back and now I have massive amounts of dust in front of my camera, and all pictures I take look horrible.
I checked with warranty, and I have to pay €8 to ship the phone, and then probably wait 2 weeks to get is back, so I am considering to clean it myself, it seems like a 10 minute job.
Has anyone here removed the back of their P7? Does the adhesive still work well when assembling the back again?
see 0:46 and 11:15

i do that change my self
and all works good
Hey, me too. No problems so far, all went fine. Good luck!
That wasn't hard indeed. 2 minutes with the hairdryer, some breadclips/tooth picks/guitar picks and you're in.
I did notice that there was barely any adhesive near the camera and the bottom of the back cover doesn't stick very well any more.
Is there some suitable glue to improve the cover fastening, that also melts when heated?
A friend told me that the clue which is used for car-windows has the same characteristics, but I didn't try actually.. So, I'm quite not sure if that works also.

Modifying the OEM charger - what's inside?

So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...
Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.

Battery replacement

Hi, I had a little accident with my maze recently. Now I need to replace phone's battery but the problem is I don't know what battery to use. I've searched through loads of batteries and the voltage which is 3.85 does match the capacity which is close to 4000mAh is okay too, but the battery connectors don't seem to be exact. Anyway I hope someone can help me and possibly future users aswell!
Can you post the information on the body of your Maze Alpha battery? It would be helpful to post images of the battery and the connector.

hi, ive got the same problem, and have to remove the battery but can't source a new one, the battery is 6.5 mm wide, 8.6 mm long and 4 mm thick, i've attached links to photos of the connecter, thanks in advance for any help
