Hi, I've got a bit of a weird one for everyone. I purchased an aluminum, screw together case for my 5x. I'm not sure of the exact brand listing but if you search "honor 5x Thor" on Amazon it will come right up. It's a really cool case and being made of aluminum it's really strong, though I did have to add some foam in the corners to improve the fit. My issue is that the case significantly impairs the phones signal strength for both WiFi and cellular, it's not even a full case it's more of a frame! Is there any way I can modify the phone's antenna wire or something and affix it to the inside of the case to essentially use the entire thing as an antenna receiver? I'm open to anything, I've already had the phone apart multiple times for screen repair as well as painting, so hit me with whatever you can come up with lol.

I request u to throw away the case .plz dont modify the phone for just a normal case . U can buy a new one instead of loosing the phone signals by modifying the hardware . I am already a victim for making such modification and lost full signal however.

Sadly you can't. This is the reason why I don't use any metal based cases. Replace that with a TPU-PC case.

No. It doesnt result in poor battery. Also, there is no difference for the device in catching the signals. I always got full signals with/without the case.

Upgrading does voids the warrenty if your device is other than HTC HERALD. This is because official WM6 upgrades were never out for the non-heralds. Yes, it can be upgraded to WM6.1

You are probably thinking of the Faraday's cage type effect (the reason cell phones don't work in elevators), since the case is pretty much wide open on the front it doesn't cause any issues.
For the clear plastic does it cover the screen? That's the achilles heal of this unit for sure; one bad bump and it's cracked
yea well i had heard from some one it did kill signal, but could be bad phone or what not bad location...
the clear armor case doesnt coverthe screen..
i like it but eh i will prob order the armor case this weekend from daydeal...
That case is ugly, what the hell r u doing that you need a metal phone...lol
FYI My armor case almose lost the pins holding the hinges together the other day...I've only had it for a month or two, get the cheaper one for sure, it's all junk!

I agree.
I use a Metal Case since my second display. The first one was completely crushed in a brand leather case....
Metal cases...
Can't disagree that the boxwave metal case really protects the device, and preserved the features, buttons, etc. Unfortunately it also protects it from receiving radio signals!
I scrapped mine after discovering that the Bluetooth range went from about 30 feet to about 5 feet, and lost an average of about 1 bar of GSM signal strength just about everywhere I went. I also noticed that travelling in some more fringe areas, the phone would be MUCH more likely to drop signal completely. Along with this drawback came increased battery usage because the GSM and Bluetooth radios had to draw more juice to stay hooked up.
A nearly solid metal case covering a RF tranceiver device with no external antenna, the end result is pretty obvious.
If you spend most of your time in a good signal strength area and always keep the phone and Bluetooth headset near each other, then you may never witness the effects. For my part, as soon as I ditched the metal case, problem went away with no other changes.
I have to agree on the case. Yes it's great Armour for the phone..but it kills your reception. If i'm on a call via BT with my phone clipped on, all I get is fuzz in the background..same if I went further then 5 feet. I lost both pins..thankfully I bought the cheaper one.
Has anyone replaced the little plastic flap that covers the USB port? Mine has finally broken off.
Is there anywhere to get a replacement online, and is there a resource for disassembly for the g1?
TIA
My device (Touch PRO) doesn't have it at all. I've seen that some devices have it and some don't. I think you can compare it to suspension housing of mountain bikes - some have some don't. It is just a question of dirt management style. While covers avoid the dirt getting in they also keep the trespassed dirt in there which also is not good. I don't think there is a good answer
I dont think he is looking for an opinion, I think he just flat out wants one. I could use one too, mine is broken as well.
As far as replacing, you can carefully insert it using a blunt pointed pin, I used some piano wire that was lying around when I did this to my last G1. Just "push" the ball into the housing. Alternately, you can use the plastic pry tools to lift that area, but it is a lot more work.

Looking forward to it.
I'm in the UK and they ship from the US, so it might take a while. I've ordered it on 15th and got a shipping confirmation the next day, so hopefully some time next week I'll have them.
OK, got them... and I think it's a bit of a waste of money. They're too small and also when you need to for example plug-in the headphones, you have to figure out where to put those flaps not to loose them.
Anyway, you decide:
I'm still getting it, but it's something I couldn't ignore...

The bending worries more then anything. Might have to reconsider a case.
Ok..this doesn't look good at all. I think that I will cancel my pre-order.

There are different levels of aluminium strength. Obviously they went the cheap route here and picked such soft aluminium as it can be clearly seen in the video.
Don't know about you ,but I treat my phones like a precious piece of China anyway.I have just come from a one M7 after 2 years where it never had a case or a SP on it,always kept in a leather pouch when not in use and it is still in immaculate condition.I'm not going to burn it with a lighter,scratch it with s pick{if I did I'd get a new screen put in anyway ) and its front pocket with nothing else in there.....

I am extremely upset now. Looks like Huawei really went with the cheapest possible aluminium they could find. And at least here in Europe the price is still premium. EUR690..

I have a SLIGHT warp on the bottom right of the phone. I called Huawei about it and they said it was covered by the manufacturer warranty. In my case it's not really that bad so I have no reason to RMA. But I will should it get worse. So far it hasn't.

Well you might have some luck with that, be very very careful doing that. That's a quick way to get a cracked screen. I know Gorilla Glass has a lot of flex in it and isn't the most brittle thing in the world, but it's still glass. Just my two cents, I haven't had this issue, but I will be keeping an eye on it as well.

That is the main reason I'm thinking of returning mine. My first 6P bent around the power button. My replacement has been fine, I've kept it in the speck case Google sells, but still a phone( metal or not) shouldn't warp from being used or being stored in the front pocket. Should we really be having to un-warp our phones? It's not normal.

My 6P is perfectly flat when face down on a granite countertop with no case.
If this was the iPhone that bent like this, alot of the android fan boys would be up in arms saying how much apple sucks, but since it's android we are willing to unbend our phones. Doesn't make alot of sense
I know it doesn't.
But comparing the way iPhone bent to Nexus is a bit different. Iphone bent quite badly. To be honest if my screen protector didn't peel on one side when I took my phone out of the pocket I would never thought to check if its bent lol
It does not affect everyday use by any way. Nor you can see it.
Note: it was first couple of hours since protector was applied that's why it peeled. Doesn't happen anymore
Saying that all are like that I meant they all prone to that slight body movement.

LG G5 painted in plastic coating?
Jerry rig everything video shows alot of proof.
Most of the professional reviewers are scared to speak the truth. Why? Are you scared of LG?
It is a die-cast aluminium body which then has the antennas placed on the outside (because the signals wouldn't get through the metal) there is then a primer to help the paint bond to the aluminium and cover up the antennas. They then use a microdised finish over the top which is effectively a metallic paint.
It's not plastic it's just not been machined and anodised. They were going for a different take on the metal body that could allow them to hide the antennas.

A diffrent take lol. That plastic coating pretty much negates the need of having metal in a phone. Just make it out plastic if ythats all ill feel when holding it !
Most concerning part is the display assembly. So thin that you can see the pressure points when you select something. Maybe i am to demanding idk, but all the different phones over the years i have never experienced such thing.

im pretty sure no one complained about such thing with S5/G4 and earlier devices that used full plastic builds. You are delusional my friend, they are missleading consumers, & then coming out with some bs excuse, "we are doing it differently, we didnt want to do what everyone else is doing" !
I'm not delusional, people just seem to have got it stuck in their heads it is basically a full plastic build. There is plastic in every metal phone, just of varying degrees.
I've no issue with the way they have constructed the phone. If you don't like it then don't buy it.

I'm not delusional, people just seem to have got it stuck in their heads it is basically a full plastic build. There is plastic in every metal phone, just of varying degrees.
I've no issue with the way they have constructed the phone. If you don't like it then don't buy it.

The truth is LG G5 is ugly phone compared to galaxy S7 edge. I even think HTC 10 will be better then LG G5.
Am sorry to say.

definetly, the chanfer might be too big, but still, they are fixing what was broken in previous gens, & there software is the top OEM skin out there, so yeah it will be a good competitor to the S7/Edge.
It's called paint people get over it, especially from your gs7s
trolls everywhere…
seriously… this device has not been shipped worldwide yet and people already start complaining about built quality. get a life.
i preordered my g5 including a free camera module and i'm proud of that decision so far.
all thats left is that they start shipping to germany.
I keep wanting to think that the GS7E is good lucking. Maybe it's just that I'm coming from the G3 but....it just seems too damn narrow! But to be honest, the biggest problem is that I can't play with the GS7E at any of the stores, they're all on demo mode...maybe I should go into another carrier's store where there's one I can actually demo. Can anyone tell me whether your carrier typically has its demo phones NOT on retail mode? I'm on sprint here (and still undecided between G5/GS7E/GS7).

I per-ordered the G5 and got it Friday. I have had no issues with. This whole metal vs. plastic issue is a joke. Structurally speaking, this is great phone. They had to switch to the thin metal aluminum in the back because of the void between the back and the screen when you take out the battery. And when you do take the battery out, there's very little to no deflection.
I have an metal body iphone 5s for work and i hate it. This is so much better.

I'm not here to insult, just to inform on my experience thus far. However, i wish you wouldn't be commenting so negatively on this phone without using it for some considerable time. A 10 minute in-store demo use of the phone shouldn't count especially when you are looking for all the negatives. When i pick up a phone in the store i look for all the negatives first before the positives.
Like I said, the look and fell of this phone is great after 4 days of use. The main selling point for me was the removable battery and the camera. The battery seems like it's very easy to swap and the camera is superb. I took it to a show on Friday and the pictures where incredible especially in wide view. I'm sure the 7s takes better pictures, but i really like the wide angle.
I personally don't care for all the friends modules they're advertising.
Had i read your comments before i purchased the phone, i probably wouldn't have bought the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to answer.
