[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
I agree with many others. The Speck case is nice but definitely not a permanent option for me. I ordered the BoxWave case the other day when I knew I would be buying the Note. It has not arrived yet and I was not going to take a chance with this phone and no case. It does add what looks like great protection but it is too difficult to remove. I had a difficult time removing the case earlier and it kept the power button held in causing a reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
I personally never bought these Speck cases for any of my previous phones...but from people I knew who bought them...the grip is nice...but it felt like such a hassle to remove the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Envy Diz:
Yup scratched mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
Mine obscured no ports, its alignment with the buttons (very easy to push!) and holes was perfect. Microphone holes were dead-center, no problem with the USB, stylus, etc, all perfect.

My biggest issue with this case is it's IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE PHONE OUT OF. Seriously, I'm afraid I'm going to break something trying to get the phone out of it, and getting it in or out it keeps trying to power itself off, off and on, etc... It's way too tight. No, I don't take my phone out of cases, the phone lives there. But there ARE times one needs to take the phone out of the case, such as if I want to dump a ton of stuff to the SD, upgrade the SD, maybe even a battery pull if something goes really badly.. and this case makes it insanely difficult to do. It takes me 2-3 minutes to pry the corner near the stylus away from the phone then keep peeling it along the two edges while putting pressure up through the stylus hole until the phone finally starts pushing up out of the case a little, then I can slowly work the phone out of it.

And the plastic looks like crap, I had it a week and the black side is severely scuffed up just from being in my pants pocket.

My girlfriend's white and pink speck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I really like this case. It is easy to remove after doing it a couple of times. My only issue now is how am I going to put it back on without messing up my Zagg screen protector once I have applied it?

I left the factory sticker on the back of the note because I knew that it is scratch prone coming over from the SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
Man i really want this case for my Note, but they need more colors including non glossy! I had this case for my iPhone 4 and it was great. Felt great in the hand and took a few tumbles no problem. I had the batwing black color and it looks like **** within a few days from the glossy finish and getting scratching. I know its a case and that's its job. But i would like to see maybe a Matte Black. Stealthy :D. Or even a all black/black including the grey rubber around the bezel instead of the grey.

The case is perfect for me being i am super OCD with my devices. But there is always that possibility of a accident drop. Plus love the lay on the table lip on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChicoKiri:
A trick I use to take the gloss off of plastic is to clean the case with one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. It scuffs the surface just enough to get that shine off without leaving any scratches.

EDIT: Alright, just gave it a shot on this Speck case and it doesn't work well at all. It might have something to do with the soft rubbery plastic it uses.

I instead went at it with 1000 grit sandpaper to get all of the gloss off. Cleaned that up with some 1200 and buffed with the Magic Eraser. The strokes show, but not nearly as badly as those light scratches on the gloss. I could probably get it nice and smooth with some higher grit paper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Thanks for the white speck case(30$) pics, they look really nice with the white phone :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lJesseCusterl:
Did you get the phone at the OS or D'Iberville store? If it's the D'Iberville store, I probably sold the phone to you. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Barry (NJ):
Spec is silly, the black and white cases have to be the same, so you should be able to buy the soft liner and hard outer separately, and mix and match colors as you like. I want a white case, and I'd go for white and gray, but white and pink(?) I don't think so... And while I wouldn't do black and pink either, I think that combo could also sell pretty well for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
The layers are not separate. More colour combos would be okay, but not happening with the design as-is. I suspect this is thinner and more protective anyway, than two separate layers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Speck was a nice case at the moment since nothing else was available, super hard to remove and after removing 3-4 times the rubber by the s-pen hole is cracking, is slippery and made me drop it twice, luckily while sitting down like a foot drop to the floor, but if at&t would've had something else like a hybrid case like incipio or seidio or the defender case like, I'm sure nobody would purchase this. I'm definitely on the lookout for a new case.

I'm sure the people at speck didn't think people would need to remove the case regularly.

If you're a person that doesn't modify the phone at all and don't ever have the need to remove the case then this Case is for you, for everyone here at xda not so much.

RoloRacer on Galaxy Note!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Have one on my old iPhone, on my iPod, on my iPad, but not on my note. I prefer aluminum bumpers. They offer protection of the sides and the screen. Also, the back plastic can be protected with a back protector. I got a back protector for $1 on eBay and it works great. I got my bumper for $13 (Now the cheapest is $25) So it's cheaper than Speck. Speck will release more cases on there website speckproducts.com soon. If my memory serves me well, they already have a slightly girl-ish case. The shiny cases are the Candyshell ones. The rest should be matte or have a pattern.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slhawkins:
I know it's an older thread.. but I might as well put in my two cents.

As everyone has said, the gloss black case is easy to scratch - but then I didn't pay the $20 so it could look great. The rubber keeps the phone inside the case really well and I haven't had any issues with the buttons working/not working on a day to day basis. The only problem I've had with the buttons is when the phone was restarted - but that was due to putting it into the case the wrong way. :P It's easy to put in my pocket and just as easy to remove from my pocket. And after two months of very rough handling the phone is still in great condition. For $20 I really can't complain about the protection it provides.

What I can complain about is the rubber. After two months of use (probably started shortly after a month) the rubber on the case would slow deteriorate. It wasn't enough to prevent it from protecting my phone, but enough to notice (More so then the scratches on the back). I remember as kids playing outside we would rub our hands together really hard and we'd get little "rolls" of dirt on them. That's what the rubber begins to slowly look like. It's like little pieces of dough coming off of my case, kind of annoying. It was because of that that I went into AT&T today to find out about getting a replacement. Within 5 minutes I was walking out of the store with a new case protecting my phone. I noticed online these have a 1 year warranty, so I'll probably continue doing this until that's up.

So that's my review - it's really not a bad case, it was just annoying to see the rubber start to peel off. I did however, treat it pretty rough. So we'll see how the next couple months go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
Do you think I can get a replacement? On mine the spen rubber snapped and now its gone. One week I had it for and it snapped so I just stuck it in a drawer. I lost my receipt though..

sent from a phone or tablet using an app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slhawkins:
I'm sure you could. I just walked in and asked if I could get it replaced. I didn't have my receipt or anything, but since I bought it from that store I didn't need it (that's what the lady told me..).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] actorman46:
Hey guys, I'm just posting some links from the nook color forum. The first will give you honeycomb buttons, and the other helps you setup your screen. These forums were helpfull when setting up my tablet, and if they help you, thank the develper in the forum!

For honeycomb buttons

for screen setup!

I use both for my nook tablet, and love it!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
How do you install and use this theme? I installed it, but it does not show in my app drawer. What am I doing wrong?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tmjohnsonfse:
Look in your app drawer..Then look for Theme Chooser and select. That should do it for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] actorman46:
You can find it in Theme choser. It's greyed out. It will say its the wrong size, do it anyways.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
I did, and it worked, but I still have the "bar" at the bottom of my screen. How can I get rid of that bar so that it really looks like ICS?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] actorman46:
That's an issue that goes above themeing. If anyone knows different let me know but as far as I've read this is about as close as you can get.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
By "bar", I mean the bar that's in portrait mode. The one you have in phones and not tablets. The bar that has the phone icon on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Post a pic of what you're talking about.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Ate you talking about the dock? I don't know if you can turn that off in ADW, but I use ADW EX and you can turn it off with that. Other launchers may allow turning it off as well, but I can't name any.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] actorman46:
I think he's talking about the bar that the buttons themselves are in. That you're stuck with as far as I know. We can get our tablets close to looking like CM9, but CM7 still has limits.

But some more fun things...

I'm using SPB shell 3d with a live wallpaper and I'm still getting good use out of the battery.

Normally SPB as cool as it looks is a resource hog, but I still have lots of free ram with the tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
I am including a screenshot showing what I am talking about.

It is the bar that has the app drawer and the phone icon
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Look for an option in your launcher settings to hide the dock. I know ADW EX has that option. Not sure what you're using there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] actorman46:
In adw XL go to settings then themes and select no theme for dock bar.

To change the apps in the bar hold down on them, drag them out and add what you want.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
For the dock bar go to Settings -> Adw launcher -> UI settings -> main dock style. Just select "none"

Yeah, that dock is kinda out of place on a tablet. Just so you can still access your app drawer, just long click on the screen, select launcher action, and pick open/close app drawer. I put one on every screen so that the app drawer is always accessible.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] edwardxi:
thx,ICS theme is pretty cooooolllllllll
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] moukazwina:
I had to switch back to ADW, and now I got rid of the dock completely.

I have a couple of requests still: How do I add the apps drawer as the guy had on the top right of his NT?

Another thing I would love to do: make the soft home button actually display the apps, as of now, it only pulls the home screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Long press on the home screen and select launcher actions. You can control what the home button does though ADW settings.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Vegasden:
I just rooted, so I haven't had a chance to play with this new launcher. Totally different look, extremely customizable...

does anyone know if there is a way we could make it work with phones?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] --anx--:
I really want to know it...I've searched everywhere for this Live Wallpaper, even just to see it...but never found it, and on the Asus Trasformer I didn't found it too!!!

Anyone have it or at least know where to find/see it??? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] --anx--:
I've tried to find an "alternative" to this semi live wallpapers

..and it's ok!!!

Download from the Play Sto re the "Day Night Live wallpaper" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tneele.daynightlwp ) and with it you can set four different images who will change following the current daytime...so you can set the asus wallpapers from the original Day Scene live wall (I've found them here on xda) and you're done!

Use the day one for dawn/day and the other two for dusk and night..voilà!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sergeant Droid:
Thanks for that, but where to find the asus daylight wallpapers?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] --anx--:
I've searched here in the XDA forum with these words "Asus day scene live wallpaper"...and found the original images from the Transformer tablet...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sergeant Droid:
Never mind found it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] iekansh:
Someone dev might have a look at this and port it. Let's hope for the best.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] --anx--:
Yes...it's a very good thing to have a "SEMI" Live Wallpaper...theorically the battery will last more without "live" animations...

Anyway...with this trick the whole thing work like the original one: downloading this Live Wallpaper from the market and set a different ASUS image for a specific day time (dawn, day, dusk and night) result exactly the same live wallpaper as the original ASUS Day Scene...

Well...maybe a dev can work on the original one to make it compatible with S2...but for now this solution it's good... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
Friends,

I am not going to use fancy words. This post is a simple but heartfelt request to you all.

As we are aware that Dhiru is involved in getting ICS to our device. He has been doing this on a device borrowed from his friend. But, the development has been discontinued for the lack of device.

ICS is currently in Alpha 2 stage and is very usable. We need to get the development restarted as soon as possible.

So I would request each one of you to donate towards acquiring a I9003 set for Dhiru.

Initially I would request you all to pledge a certain donation amount. Once the target is reached, we can start collecting the money or transferring directly to Dhiru's paypal a/c.

I will keep updating the OP with the pledged amount.

I will Update this post with further details soon.

P.s. Please some one pm me the current price for I9003 in India.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] progitto:
10 euros for me.

As I`ve wrote in the CM9 thread I think that can be a good think to try to grow new devs by sharing information as much possible.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ...mARiO³:
I'm silently following the CM9 thread by long time and I'm happy to donate 10 euros to Dhiru.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dhiru1602:
I really appreciate your initiative and your concern, but as of now I am a bit busy with my work and I would not be able to provide quality time on the development.

There are quite a few limitations as of now in terms of driver compatibility for which TI has to release new drivers which might take time since they are showing more preference to OMAP4 at the moment. So unless we get some new drivers, we won't be having much of a progress.

Let's wait till the drivers are released so that we could have some hope on getting stuff to work properly. Till then maybe codeworkx would be done with his SGS2 and would preside over the development. His experience is what matters the most.

Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anna0811:
I.am ready to donate
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kikejulia:
I guess that drivers are needed, but you will also need resources...

I'm ready to donate.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anna0811:
Dhiru i suggest you take the donation and by galaxy sl and start working on ics . Leave the camera aside because we don't know whether we will ever get ics drivers for camera.

So i suggest you take care on other things and make ics
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
The drivers aren't there and dhiru is busy with work. Please don't nag him to do what he doesn't want to do, or we'll have another codeworkx situation where the dev is tied to the forums and everyone wants everything NOW or they suck as a person...

Of course, i'm exaggerating, but the point is still valid.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kikejulia:
Yes, we all want this, and we all want that, and we all want it now...

I am a complete noob and I cannot help with development, not even suggest anything because I cannot understand the amount of work implied.

All I can do is donate, so that devs have as many resources as they need. And wait silently, and thank them for every bit of progress that they achieve, and thank them even if they have no progress, because they are spending a lot of their time in everyone's benefit.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
That's true, and i'm much the same. However, watching a dev get swamped and hounded isn't pleasant to watch.

Nevertheless, dhiru has said 'not yet' and won't accept donations at the current time. Try again later i guess. :)

Hey guys, I've been downloading apps to my note since i got it on Saturday. Apparently i used around 2.1 gb of data. This morning i woke up and my data speeds on "LTE" were around 0.11-0.16 mbps. It has been throttle same all day long. Have i been throttled without Warning?

I called at&t and they said i wasn't throttled. They had to put me through some tech support that didn't help at all. No change. My sisters iphone 4s gets 2.1mbps downloads...

Haha yeah :p

Just switched over from windows phone. Had to take advantage of the fact i didn't have to download games over wifi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
Data usage on this device is shocking. According to AT&T I've used more data (800mb) in 2 days than I use in a typical month on my Sprint qHD android phone. Some of is probably setup - downloading emails from IMAP and exchange for the first time, etc. And obviously as a pocket tablet this device is so useful I haven't touched my real tablet since Friday.

But if you're on a datapro plan they have no reason the throttle you...you just pay the extra $10/GB...so I would try some more speed tests in various locations and keep records of what you find.

Have you not been to droidrzr.com or rootzwiki? Heaps more CDMA support there, XDA is the exception in offering more GSM ROMs & themes, et cetera. Plenty of CDMA ROMs to choose from between the various sites, nice to see more of them make their way here - especially from well respected devs. GSM support for this ROM would be very welcome, though I can understand why it's not a priority at present.

For the record, the GSM ICS leak is only worth playing with for about five minutes until it freezes or reboots or drains the battery flat, so I'd not be too quick to hold it up as an advantage. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nespresso33:
You are not serious...

And look how many do you have rom for CDMA http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/32-droid-razr-roms/

Is it a CDMA vs GSM war or what? stop flamming this thread with useless comparaison beteween gsm rom and cdma rom and start feedback on this one...
