from what ive experienced, with the back cover on, phone on the desk, the signal strength is the same (going by the db meter in settings > about > status), but as soon as i pick it up, and hold it at certain ways, i lose ~10db (normal battery cover: -95 dBm; metal battery cover: -105 dBm). reminds me of the iphone deathgrip issue ;)

oh and if it matters, im on the XLF5 radio and im in california

I have just ordered the metal silver one. I'm wondering if it will fit on the slim case though. Don't ask me why I would put it into there, maybe a bit overreaction!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ExTREmE99:
no, it wont. the new back is 1-2mm taller, therefore any hard cases DO NOT fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
The slim case is a silicone case but fairly tight I suppose

has anyone here bought this one

I thought it would be better with something that doesn't show scratches at all so you don't have to care about that. The original back on my blue first got 2 small scratches just by pushing it a little on a table, and then I dropped it on the floor, just straight down from about 40 cm and it landed on the back and got several small scratches, so there's no scratch resistance at all. Doesn't really matter when it's exchangeable but that shows how bad the quality is.

Here's mine. Really happy with it. Nfc doesn't work as expected
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ExTREmE99:
so...for some reason the ebay seller sent me another one. no idea why, but i have another battery cover if anyone is interested. this one is white with a dark grey metal back. "charcoal" and it matches the grey trim on the white i9300 pretty much completely. heres a pic:

if anyone wants this. 10bucks shipped usps first class! ask txkorm. he should have received the battery covers that i sold him from above.

For the white cover the silver alloy matches the silver part of the original phone which stylistically is a plus!

I will see if there are any signal or wifi issues. Its too soon to know

First time do copy/paste...with ICS now we can do so without conversions messages preventing it. That was not the case on Honeycomb and I had to go thru the USB port mounting and a middle man...

Second start doing synching since it's slow.
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
First of all, sorry if this has been posted.

I just flashed the ICS meanROM yesterday and quickly realized the Wireless Tether did not work.....only the HotSpot worked on it would kick me off of 4G. I did some research and realized that this was a problem being experienced by many.

I came across a thread here on XDA on the Samsung forums and decided to try it out. What do you know? I have wireless tether working on my phone on 4G. Please note I am running meanROM, but supposedly, this works on all ICS roms. Apparently on our phones, if you set the device profile as an Evo 3D, it does not work properly. I take no credit for this, I got it from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522867

1) Download and install wireless tether from the market.

2) Set the device profile as "Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA" or "Generic ICS".

3) Enable routing fix and MMS clamping.

Enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Most people just set it to "Generic ICS" profile. Pretty obvious profile to try.

Wifi Tether has worked on every ICS ROM I tried since day one. Even if you flashed the dreaded VM Firmware.

Also described in MeanROM ICS OP since he started it.
[HTC EVO 3D] phillip1953:
Generic ICS, mss clamping and routing fix worked for me. Not sure if the latter two are needed, but why mess with something now that it works.

I'm using WiFi tether beta as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] beefydoc:
Tethering not working for me

mswlogo: You said tethering even works of you flashed the dreaded VM firmware.

I flashed the "dreaded VM" software and have not been able to use tethering since.

I have it set up properly, but when I try to start it, it just shows the spinning circle and it sticks like that , in other words it is perpetually trying to start. To the point that I have to force close it to get the app to stop. I have wiped cache and Davlik.

Is there a thread somewhere that will tell me how to get tethering working if I flashed the VM firmware. The threads I have seen all say that the VM firmware update has been known to break tethering. I am waiting for Unknownforce's firmware downgrade fix that is coming soon: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653777.

Until then I would love to get my tethering back. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

By the way, I am s-off, H-Boot 1.4 and running Scott's CleanROM-ICS-DE Beta
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
1) I didn't even know that profile existed in the app, but I agree......it is obvious and I would have tried it had I seen it.

2) Due to all the BS on these forums, I don't visit as much as I used to. I just signed on after a few weeks and noticed that there were a bunch of ICS roms available with4G and the camera working and was just excited to be able to flash one. I read about the VM issues, but didn't experience it since I never put that on my phone.

3) If it was listed in the meanROM OP, I must have read right over it. However, when I searched to find a fix, I found a lot of recent threads being started in many different forums were people were asking about wireless tether issues on ICS. When I came across this fix and saw it worked, I figured I'd post it and maybe it would help someone out.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
First thing I did after flashing VM Firmware and CleanROM ICS was test Wifi tether.

Wifi tether worked fine. But I lost VPN and that is how I discovered I lost it.

In the process of trying to get VM Firmware off my phone, it got worse and worse.

Until eventually I had no data at all.

So it depends where you're at with the Virgin Mobile Firmware Virus ;). If you still have Data I believe WIFI Tether should work fine with the correct settings.

Router Fix is required. MSS Clamp works either on or off but I set it on, I've seen in teh past when it was required too.
[HTC EVO 3D] beefydoc:
Finally Got It Working

Thanks for the response. I actually just got it to work. I, like you, thought it must be a glitch bc of the VM firmware. So I did a clean install of the latest MeanRom ICS (v1.4). Once I got everything loaded back, I checked Wi-Fi Tether. It wouldn't work, but the app was not getting hung trying to start like before. It would start but no uoload/download data was registering and my wi-fi only tablet would see my phone but could not connect to it.

I read on a thread about CleanRom that SuperSU and Tether on ICS don't always play well together, so I cleared data on SuperSU and then disabled it and downloaded Superuser. Still no tether,so next I updated busy box (from 1.18.0 to 1.20.0). I then re-enabled SuperSU since it is cooked into MeanROM , then uninstalled Superuser. I ran WiFi Tether again regiving permissions bc I had cleared data on SuperSU and Voila, it is now working perfectly.

I honestly don't know it it was the act of disabling SuperSU clearing the settings,and then re-enabling it, or updating BusyBox, or all of the above in the right order. But it is working! Maybe this will help someone else.

For me Wireless Tether does not work too. I have installed a Sense 4 Rom on my device.

I have tried several settings but it never worked for me.

So i have downloaded Barnacle Wifi Tether APP from PlayStore. And voila it works for me on a Sense 4 rom.

In settings you need to check " Skip wpa_supplicant " an then it works. The only thing is, you can only set WPE key encryption.

Try it and give feedback....:good:

Hello!

I have a broken screen on my Note so I wanted to take him to service center to get my screen replaced. Will they void my warranty if I have CM9 on and if I don't reset my binary count? (I don't have a JIG)

I flashed custom kernel twice and custom rom also twice using ODIN so my flash count should be at 4.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
More then likely yes they will void your warranty if they see custom counter on it my advice is to get a jig and reset counter or just flash a ics rom that's compatible with triangle away app from chainfire

Better to be safe then sorry cause a new screen isn't cheap
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix001:
I know I need to pay for my screen anyway! (stupid of me that i stepped on him :D )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolcrab:
SAD NEWS- Yes, your warranty is voided the time you flash any custom ROM, but in G.Note case you can flash custom rom vai odin, n you are done. But when your binary count is not zero(this happens whenyou flash custom ROMs with PC Odin), this means too that your warranty is voided.

The way I fixed my counter was i flashed the Chinese leak version of ics rom, installed the triangle away on ma phn and used it, and after that i never flashed any ROM vai pc odin, even the chinese ROM i installed vai mobile odin.

So, for you, it will be quite difficult to do that, as your screen is broken...so ithink you have to gave them as the way your phone is, or you can replace the screen by yourself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix001:
I think that it is better that I give them to get it repaired because I would probably break him! :D

only glass on my screen is broken, I can still use my phone regurarly

well, no problem, I'll just have to live without warranty, then no need to flash stock ROM, I'll just leave it on CM9!

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
O

Darm not good if you have to pay for the screen anyway then they shouldn't be a problem as they won't prob look into it anyway but if it was under warranty you would struggle to remove counter anyway with broken screen;)

When you send it just make sure to flash a stock rom via odin it doesn't matter if screen not working just make sure PC Odin picks it up when flashing then hopefully they won't know :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix001:
yeah, if the phone is physically damaged (eg broken screen) then I have to pay for the repair, and it costs 200€

my screen is working it's just the glass (digitizer) that is broken!

Ah right well its your call I know you have to pay for the screen and carnt see Sammy saying heywhere charging you for having custom rom on too:D but you never know lol if it was me and only talking as if it was mine I would reset the counter its easy and less chance of running into any problems with Samsung good luck and hope you have your note running back soon and be carefull where you stand :p
