My Athena turns off whenever there is some movement .It is very inconvenient.
Whether it is connected to the keyboard or not doesn't make any difference .
The device has to be started with power button .
I am using michyprima 6.5 .This problem was with AP4 also.
Is it hardware or software problem?
Sounds like a battery issue. My athena does that sometimes too. Its definately hardware and its proally your battery falling out of contact. Try taping it in and see if that helps

Agree, it must be the battery contacts.
Okay.....
Okay,
At the moment I am holding the lid on the battery compartment very tightly and shaking this thing in every possible direction & angle[must be looking stupid] and guess what?...It is NOT turning off by itself!
Then I took away pressure from the battery lid and with the first slight movement it is off.
So that's it?Is it THE problem?
How do you people fix it?It will look very ugly if I hold the lid in place TIGHTLY with a sticking plast?
Any Aesthetic solutions please?
And thank you very much for the DIAGNOSIS.Appreciate it.
a little clear tape will be almost unnoticable and should do the job
thick piece of paper
I solved the problem (mostly) by cutting a thick piece of paper (or thin piece of cardboard) that fits between the top of the battery and the lid so it forces the battery down harder onto the terminals.
I had to use the tape method to force my sd card from losing contact.
Let me know if my instructions are not clear.
Hi there every Athena owners ,
I saw this problem with cphilip u1000 too , what he did was stick a white double side tape about 5mm long x 1.5mm width x 1.5mm thick onto the inside of the opening battery door flap , put a paper to stick the tape that is facing u , close the lid door onto the battery slowly , nicely and tightly . Remember your lid door is on the way to malfunction completely soon , so take care - no rough n fast movement , no jerking n pulling on yr u1000 , and soon u have to replace the door lid yrself , by that time u hv to ask who in xda to help u again , cheers n best rgds - jimmunsw
Thanks!
Yes Sir,
I also used a transparent clear tape to close the battery lid tightly and also put a piece of folded paper between the battery and the lid i.e. inside the lid so that battery fits in snugly.It is done.And yes it is almost unnoticable.
Now the only problem is I cannot swap the SD cards easily.
Since I noticed that on this thread/forum people are awake and alert I may as well put some querries.
I have flashed Athena with michyprima 6.5.
The problem is with the today menu.
The items to select from the today menu do not appear as they should.
Sometimes some items are not shown in the options altogether.
And how to disable the Touchflow appearing on the today screen?I unchecked the bpx many times in the today items selection but it still keeps appearing.
And is there any reg hack/setting to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape when it gets in contact with the keyboard.
Please reply or should I start a new thread for this?

Have you made absolutely sure that the metal clip on the battery is slid into the right hole? If it's not, or if that clip slides too freely and comes out of the hole, the battery will not be making proper contact. This can be the case with some third party batteries. I had to take the clip from my old battery and swap it onto my replacement battery.
Metal clip

The metal clip is fine.The lid is the problem.
Anyone has answers to my querries posted above?
Hi there every athena owners ,
I like to add this :- u can use a thin double sided tape - of about 1mm in thickness ( stick a few to get that thickness if yrs is very thin ) and cut and paste to the edge of yr athena battery - where the same row of the charging pins are ( but not covering the pins area - ok ? ) , make sure it is of a better quality type like 3m brand or equivalent ... , push yr battery into the slot all the way in and make sure the tape sticks properly n firmly , then push the metal pin down firmly , then u slot in a piece of paper on the top and bottom of the slit area between the battery and the battery slot area to add more wedging so that it really wont move anymore , and then stick additional thicker of 1mm tapes on the closing door flap ( this one is one sided tape ok ? ), then close it tightly n firmly . lets see if it will cut off power to yr athena now , after u r done , pls dont shake it too hard , i hope this will work for u , it is no sure thing and i hv not tried it before , mine is in pristine condition , i takes care of it like a baby from day 1 and still do !, thks for reading - jimmunsw
So I am looking at getting a leater hip holster. I know the style I want, but I see there are ones that have snap closures and magnetic closures. The magnetic seem better from the idea of not having to put pressure on the phone to close it, but on the other hand it seems like I'd rather have have the snap in terms of security (meaning, the snaps are theoretically less likely to pop open when shaken, bumped, or caught. I am sort of active and in a little more rough setting than your normal office.
Anyone have any comments/thoughts? Is this even a worry with magnetic closures?
The magnets will most likely cause the 'keyboard open' and 'stylus out' switches in the phone to read incorrectly when it is removed from a case with a magnetic closure. It doesn't do any harm, and the keyboard switch can be remedied by a registry edit.
See this thread for more details.

I have magnetic closure, and it works fine for me. The last several cases have used this technology. I have never had the case open unless I did it.
Right now I am using a holster case with a magnetic snap. the magnet can make the phone behave as the other poster described but I simply face the front of the phone to the back of the case. Just put it in backwards, all works the same anyway.
I would like a case though that might flap over to protect the front but allow the keyboard to slide out etc so the phone can stay in the holster if that makes any sense. Dont know if such a thing exists.
im using a magnetic case and have no problems with any odd behavior (i also put it in screen inwards)
i used to use a snap, but i didnt like putting the pressure on the phone either, and oddly the snap case was the one that was constantly popping open, probably because the snap has a larger profile than the magnetic clasp, and also once the snap pops open its open, with the magnet it usually settles back in closed position even when it does pop open
I've seen that odd behavior with the case I have now. Sometimes my phone just unlocks itself just by placing the phone into the case or taking t out. It has a very strong magnet though. The original HTC that comes with the T7373 has a much milder magnet which doesn't cause any of the problems.

the case im using is the OEM that came with the sprint mogul, since its also from HTC its probably got the same kind of magnet the OEM case from the rhodium had
Hiya,
if this is posted on the wrong location, please assist to move the post. I am not sure where to post.
I gotten myself an unit ST17i online recently, everything is working well, except the back cover missing some items (Rubber seal for the usb and audio port) =( and also the following which i am unsure, which is why i am asking here,
Image from phonearena.com
i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/reviews/100632-image/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-active-Review-Design-07.jpg
(1st post so cannot put up a link)
Looking at the back cover (on the right),
I would like the know what is the rectangle with semicircle thing on the center of the cover? (looks kind of like a P also)
is that some sort of block? (water? radiation? etc?)
Would be great to get a reply:good:
Thanks =)
It is sort of key which ensures the back cover and middle cover is fit snuggly.
Without the flaps for USB/Audio , the device loses it's water resistance.
This is a hell of a device . Super resistant to impacts and what not !!

Yea thats the reason why i got it in the 1st place.
trying to get the clips and seals for the usb and audio now.
Other than that this device performs as expected and the battery life is relatively good
Thou the camera is slightly a little of a downer compared to my Z3C =s
I read a lot of reviews about this case , but not a single review that pointed out a serious problem with this case.
after being so disappointed with it, I also reviews it on amazon .
This was a waste of money !!!
I bought this case cover so I'll have some peace of mind, not fearing that my tablet would fall and break .
I put it over the tablet and it looked great , it felt like it would defiantly keep my note pro 12.2 safe .
BUT, I started noticing that the screen became less responsive to the touch , AND also the pen started to put out some deformed lines.
Around the middle of the screen, strait lines that i drew with the pen became curved , i tried to draw a box and could not get the line strait until i moved the canvas to the side of the screen.
After reading what other reviewers said , I guessed this was something to do with the plastic screen protector part of the case.
So i removed the plastic cover, the screen became more responsive to the touch as before, BUT!!! it changed nothing for the stylus accuracy.
I started putting lines all over my screen and i found out a 1\4inch dead-spot around the home button , the pen could not draw in that area , it just carved around it. This curvature was going through to some extent all the way to the middle of the screen , and was the reason for the strait lines becoming curved .
I thought that maybe it was something with the home button.
IT was Not!
The problem was the strong magnet at the back of the case, the same magnet that holds the hide-away stand in place.
as soon as i completely removed the cover , things went back to normal , and i could draw strait lines once again.
I don't know if having a constant magnetic field could permanently harm my wacom digitizer in the screen.
But since i bought the tablet for art making , it was useless if it don't have good pen accuracy.
If you Buy this Cover for the note, and plan to use it with the s-pen, then forget about it !
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHICH THIS CASE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM????
No, you're not. Most cases have this problem. In fact I was quite surprised to find that the Samsonite flipcover I bought recently didn't interfere with the Wacom sensors.
The magnetic field doesn't harm the Wacom digitizer. The problem is just that the Wacom digitizer also uses magnetics, and two magnets don't exactly work very well together.
There is no material that can block magnetic fields, so you can't solve it with a simple strip of fabric. (Although a strip of velvet or leather tends to help somewhat) You can try to cut out the magnet.
Something to know: There are two versions of magnetic systems in covers:
> The cheap, generic solution. Which is a single, relatively strong, magnet This causes problems with Wacom digitizers. It also causes problems with the tablets shutting off on their own for no reason.
> The more high-end brands use a different system, of a long magnetic strip or line. The overall magnetic strength is identical, but it is spread out enough so as to not interfere with the digitizers and sensors. My Samsonite apparently has this. (I emailed them.)

Actually, I asked an Amazon Q&A question about it and everyone who answered were too dumb to notice the magnet affecting the pen input. After I provided instructions to prove the problem exists, the price dropped from about $60 to $30. Man I don't get people. I am 100% sure everyone's Gumdrop has this issue, yet people are oblivious about it. Either they don't use the pen or they don't bother actually checking for the problem.
The question I asked:
http://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx26FDNR9NR3Y1F/ref=ask_dp_dpmw_al_hza?asin=B00IVEHYPG
After returning the Gumdrop, I bought an Otterbox and I am satisfied.

The last answer you received is:
"Not sure what issues your referenceing but we have been using this case for 3 months now with no issues at all, not even with the stylist."
Ronica Gomez
Me to never has a stylist for my tablet.
very strange what ppl where saying .
I guess most of them use the stylus as a finger replacement rather then a drawing tool.
It's been a while since I've posted on XDA... Found this ROXFIT PRO TOUCH case.... Premium Quality... I just checked the link and it's currently out of stock... Keep checking and get this case! You'll love it!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XD52Z7G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
ROXFIT Cover is back on Amazon with limited stock, hurry and order yours. I have to be honest tho, you'll love the look but it'll take ya a couple of weeks to get use to the case but I promise once you get use to the case, you'll love it! Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
Bought this case 2 weeks ago. Very good build quality. The semi-transparent, touch sensitive cover doubles up as a brilliant privacy filter/anti glare filter. When viewing messages or other text through the cover, you can only see what it says if your face is within 2-3 feet of the screen and *directly* in front of it. Any other angle or distance and it's super blurry. It's also very good if you need to view a notification or the time late at night during sleep hours, as it doesn't emit a glare.
Downside is that the proximity sensor doesn't always detect the cover because of the semi transparency, and as a result sometimes the screen is still on during a phonecall and buttons can be pushed accidentally. I have already gotten comfortable with this though and with unnoticed adjustment I now no longer have any issues with this particular problem.
One last thing, the plastic on the back is a fingerprint magnet. If you pride in your phones current shimmer/shineyness, this case quickly turns it into an intrinsic artwork of pinky marks.
Seems fragile
I just recived mine and I am very disapointed about the quality, I want to be optimistic, but I fear the front "semi-transparent" part will be very fragile (as in the HTC dot view of the One M9).
So does anyone who had it for a longer time could reassure me on the quality of the product, or tell me right away if it's of poor quality ?
Thank you for your answers :good:
PS : is it dangerous to turn the front part all the way to the back ? will it tear the plastic junction down or is it possible ?

Can we set the phone to do different things when opening the flap ? Like on the official case for the xz? and what about the automatic brightness? does the sensor turn the brightness down when you close the flap?

yes kinda
So, is there any kind of feature that keeps the transparent flap closed (as opposed to letting it flap around freely)? The huge problem with the official XZ style cover was that the flap was flapping freely. If one kept the phone magnetically attached to car's dashboard, the flap would constantly flap open and closed as the car accelerated and decelerated. That effectively made that cover unusable. Is this problem fixed in Roxfit cover?
