Another S3 case review, this time it's a folio flip case with credit card storage

Link to review

Any questions or feedback are more than welcome
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
Nice video

I just found these cases and then stumbled upon this review. I'm going to order the blue one, since I have the blue phone. I really like the brown one, but there's no way it would look that good with the blue phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Cheers. I think you'll like it, 100% agree on the colour.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
You can never have too many cases lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
True! I already have 4 lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Lol if only I only had 4. Life would be much simpler
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
Even with four, it's not :(

I have two Rock cases, the black and the light grey, and the rearth ringke slim. The one that you reviewed I ordered, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Guessing your latest purchase and the light grey rock are going to be your favorites :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
I haven't used the light Grey one yet I've kept the black Rock on it. I'm looking forward for the one that comes tomorrow, I have a similar case on my Nexus 7
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Fair enough I really like the look of the light grey one on white and blue phones
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
So, quick report back. About an hour after I got it, I sent it back to get a refund. It really wasn't what I expected, I think I'll stick with the Rock cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Why didn't you like it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
Honestly I didn't care for the feel of it, the extra effort to get a card in/out, and also the lack of the flap(?) closing all the way. Really wish they would've incorporated magnets.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Oli2k:
Cheers for the feedback.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adelwich:
Proud owner of a new Galaxy III, but not so happy about the connection speeds. I live near Trinity University in the heart of San Antonio.

When I am in CDMA only mode, the phone connects at 800Kbps - 1 Mbps. When I switch to CDMA/LTE mode and reboot the phone, the connection speed ranges between 58Kbps (not a typo) and about 1100 Kbps. The 3G/4G light stays on 3G, though I briefly saw a flash of 4G.

What the heck is up with this? I upgraded to the phone partly because of the press coverage that attended the LTE roll-out in San Antonio. Is this a software problem? Is it a coverage problem?

If anyone else in Central San Antonio can post their connection speeds, I would be grateful. Also, if there is anything I can do to *force* the phone into 4G mode, that would be good to know.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Your best next step is to apply the new LG8 update OTA from Sprint and see if that performs any better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Burst_:
I feel your pain. I live and work in the stone oak area and have been disappointed in the LTE coverage and connection issues.

Check out this website though for a little clarification.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
Yes, I've yet to get LTE speeds above 2Mbps in San Antonio. I've tried all the way by 1604/Bandera all the way to 90/Gen McMullen Blvd. But to be fair, San Antonio is only like 15% rolled out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Yes, that's why I suggested installing the OTA update and retesting. The update is supposed to help with the threshold problem that S4GRU's analysis identified.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Burst_:
Absolutely. The radio alone helps. I wonder though if it has anything to do with San Antonio having so many hills and changes in altitude? Either way, cn is correct. S.A. only has 15% complete but that is prolly more like 20% now. When LTE does connect, it is no joke.

Average 20down and 12up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
I'm still locked out my home tower for LTE. But this was post update it started happening, sucks I can't test out the new radio lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] los0325:
Hellz jes baby San Antonio here, I work off 151 and Wiseman got a buddy with sprint Evo lte and 1with gsiii I really believe its not the radio as much as it is towers and sprints coverage, they get spoty coverage all over the 210..

I got ATT lte is blazing hope they get that fixed ASAP I'm tired all ways letting them use my hotspot lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
When I do connect to 4g its really bad now like its 3g. the tower i usually can connect to at work, i can no longer. I think they may be working on the towers.

I'm getting pretty good 4G speeds by 1604 & 281.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adelwich:
It was just me. Speed is great. (Original Poster)

Hi folks -- I have been meaning to circle back to correct my original posting. Although LTE reception is not very good inside my house, it is fantastic in most other parts of San Antonio. I have checked in Olmos Park, in the Quarry, in the Rim, etc., and have consistently seen 4G speeds above 10Mbps. Usually, it is closer to 15Mbps. There are some dead spots when data services drop out completely, but -- for the most part -- it is a strong and powerful signal.

Since I'm always quick to give Sprint (and other providers) grief when their service is lacking, I want to make sure I give them credit where credit is due. This phone and the new LTE network are super fast.

Thanks!

Aaron

p.s. I am puzzled by the CAPTCHA on this site. It took me several tries to post this message. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
Thanks for the update. Out of curiosity, have you installed Sprint's OTA update to v LG8? It is supposed to include more "optimized" LTE connection software. The previous versions (LG2 and below) were believed to set the threshold for LTE signal strength too high, so it was difficult to get and keep an LTE connection. This would only magnify problems caused by the relatively thin tower coverage in newly launched LTE markets such as San Antonio, Houston, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] j3.cole:
Just picked up the phone. I'm looking good on 4g at I10 and De Zavala
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Burst_:
Hey san antonio peeps,

check this site out. More lte sites to be turned on by the end of august. maps show only new sites. and it shows how far behind some cities are in the lte roll out.

red means sites that are over due that have yet to be turned on. blue are sites that are to be turned on by end of august.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netiseret:
I'm in dire need of some help. My phone is a stock unit that has had no modifications to it at all. It started shutting off randomly a week or two ago, usually when I would use GPS, bluetooth, or the internet but it does happen when everything is turned off (GPS, bluetooth, and wifi) When I turn the phone back on, the battery would be totally drained displaying to a critical level. This would cause the phone to shut back off. I can repeatedly turn the phone back on, and usually one of the times the battery will be displayed with more charge and allow me to use it, but if I did anything other than make a call the phone would shut back off. This problem does not occur if the phone is plugged in and charging (never shuts off randomly and the battery does not drain). I have already tried factory resetting the phone multiple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery is on its last leg. It could also be battery contacts on your phone, make sure they are clean and actually touching the battery when you insert it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarshfrevr:
have u ever flashed a rom ?if not then u should change ur battery ....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kxlling:
I second this, I had the same issue a couple years ago with my g1, a new battery made it run like new again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowDice9100:
what ROM are you using? are you overclocked? I had similar problem with some roms overclocked, my phone would shut down, restart, battery drain was horrible!! during calls would be the most annoying it would turn off and was walking have a conversation with the plastic by my ear :mad: .after some research and testing the problem was my overclocking was unstable at 1.2 + running on 1ghz after a while the problem went away
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aathithya.:
Your phone will restart or shutdowns randomly..if

1.You overclocked GPU or CPU to high performance.

2.You flashed any unwanted zip files for performance or somewhat.

3.You make the phone very heat[Main Reason].

Instructions:

1.Avoid playing high end games for long time(Like me:o).

2.Avoid playing high end or medium games above 20mins. while charging.

3.Don't allow your phone to heat.(Due to temperature).

4.Try Re-flashing your current Rom(if you installed custom rom).

5.Try flashing your phone.

6.Check your phone completely for viruses with a better antivirus.

7.If the problem is after installing some apps..Try uninstalling that.

;) Thats all i Know!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RudeBwoy:
happened to me before more than once I agree that you should get a new battery but if you have to wait in the meantime, what I did was:

1. pull the battery out let the phone cool down

2. I put it back in and turned it on

3. If it turns on okay drain the battery till it shuts off by playing music

3. repeat 1 and 2 and if it turns on okay again repeat step 3

4. if not then let it stay off and charge it to maximum and it should be useable

I did this because I assumed that the phone for some reason wasn't reading the battery levels properly so I made sure that the battery was fully drained then charged it to max to fix that. It worked for me but its just to make the phone useable as I still needed a new battery. It drained very quickly and I had to be charging even 3-4 times a day on heavy use but if I only made phone calls and texts it got me through one day.

It most likely won't allow you because of the modem. If you don't have the gb modem it will not update. If all else fails you can do an emergency upgrade. Put phone in dl mode and run emergency firmware. It will not connect while in dl mode but will upgrade to ics.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] ac251404:
Hey all,

I'm sick of waiting around for the Samsung Note 10.1" and I really want a device with great stylus support. I have owned ThinkPads in the past (when they were IBM) and from the reviews it seems like most peoples problems with this device were software, not hardware related. I've owned 3 other android devices, always rooted and loaded custom ROMs on them but I am seeing a lot less development activity and choice here. So some questions:

1) I will probably order from Amazon, 32GB w/ stylus. Not sure if it will come with ICS aka 4.0.3 aka OTA3 (I think?). If it does there is currently no way to root it correct?

2) I see there are a few rooting methods, packages, apps, etc. I am getting really confused about which ones are for which device & image (K1, TPT, ROW, JP, etc). Is there a "go to" guide for this specific device?

3) Are there any AOSP ROMs available? If not, how much junk/bloat comes with Lenovo's images?

4) I am looking to use this for business, mostly note taking and diagramming. The stylus input is the *biggest* factor for me and I want it to be smoooooooth. Am I making the right purchase?

I have experience rooting and loading custom roms via CWR on the Nexus One and SGS2-Tmo. I'm just trying to do my homework and see if this device is going to meet my needs before dropping a few hundred on it.

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] darkhandsome18:
I think from what you've read on the forum YOU know you are making the wrong purchase but you're sick of waiting. Then Of course by all means pls get a tpt. That impatience of yours will be tested when you have to send the tablet for a few weeks to repair the broken usb/power button/volume button. The pen is NOT smooth-it develops a mind of its own after writing for a few mins. I'm also sorry to say that development on this tablet is DEAD. There were gallant efforts by koshu and Co but lenovo has proved that they are against development of any kind. Even updates from lenovo are a pain in the backside especially if u somehow had root or Cwm recovery. It's very difficult to learn from other people's mistakes until you make yours then you'd wish you been patient and saved a few hundred dollars
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MaxBuck:
1) Correct, as of now.

2) Not applicable for a device you purchase that has ICS already loaded - which it will.

3) See 2 above.

4) You really have no option to the TPT if you're looking for a primarily business-oriented tablet, or one with an active digitizer pen. There aren't really any other tablets around that are designed to be anything other than entertainment toys.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ac251404:
I guess I was basing my impressions of the pen from this video: http://youtu.be/prqFXRFHbPE It looks like it has some quirks but for the most part these are software issues. I know I am running a risk buying something that is already out-dated, but I feel like the device still has potential with the right software and a price tag under $400.

I appreciate both of your replies but I guess I am no closer to figuring this out and should put off my purchase for another few months to see what else is in the pipeline. I wish there was more video and coverage of the stylus input on the new windows tablets.

I have been waiting *years* for the right tablet with pen input to come along. I do not understand how people deny that a market exists for these devices. I'm not even in school anymore (been hoping for this type of device since my first year of university) but if I was, as a science major the ability to draw and sketch ideas and diagrams, not to mention annotate PDFs/reading material, and have digital copies of my textbooks... it just all seems so obvious. As a web developer I am still constantly sketching out ideas and concepts and *cannot* take notes with a keyboard. I am a visual and tactile learner and the subtle underlines and annotations of my notes make all the difference.

Ok sorry for venting. Thanks for the replies.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Vito Andolini Corleone:
Welcome to the TPT forums!

First of all, this tablet has a very low dev support hence you might have to wait for a long time to be able to root your device and load custom roms. As for now, there is a user who has compiled AOSP jelly bean on his TPT which is partially working. So my point is that things are happening in the dev center but at a very slow pace.

If you are buying this tablet to make diagrams and sketches then I would highly recommend it. The plus points of the TPT is that the hardware is really solid. I unfortunately dropped it a couple of times (well my friends dropped it) from a considerable height and there are no scratches or dents and the tablet works just great hence its pretty well built. Having a full sized USB is a great deal maker for me, being a university student, helps me rally data to old systems real quick.

As far as pen capabilities are concerned, there are quite a few apps that will make great use of it. Like the apps named quill,lecture notes etc will definitely be great for the device. I personally take notes on quill and i must say that the tablet lives upto my expectations. I have virtually replaced pen and paper with it. After the ICS update, the device is pretty snappy and the general UI experience has improved great folds from the honeycomb times.

I never rooted my tablet and never felt the need of doing so, cause like I said, after the ICS update the device is much faster thanks to custom launchers and disabling certain vendor apps. The main reason why i bought this tablet was to take notes and it has surpassed my expectations.

So if sketching is the main use instead of multimedia experience, then go for it. It is a practical device.

Hope that helped, let me know if i can assist you any further.

Cheers

Vito
[Thinkpad Tablet General] mr toasty:
Hey there, just a quick summary of what the different versions mean:

US,ROW,WE etc is the region of the device.

TPT is the thinkpad tablet

K1 is an entirely different Lenovo tablet, with no pen support. As far as I can tell, the two are not compatible (ROMs etc.) I'm pretty sure that K1 activity is routed here because there is no dedicated forum for it.

I hope to write a guide for the device shortly. There is not much development going on but that does not mean it is dead. Devs are working on various (very alpha) ports of CM9 and AOSP JB, and the official lenovo update is apparently very nice (including making the pen even better to use :D)

In terms of bloat, lenovo does add quite a few annoying apps, but luckily most can be uninstalled without root.

I bought a 32GB ROW (because I'm in canada). I have been using NVflash and am able to flash roms without the use of CWM, which could turn out to be our salvation. It looks like US tablets have NVflash disabled. I don't know if this means all ROW tablets are unlocked, but I haven't heard of anyone with an ROW tablet not having NVflash access. ( I also haven't looked very hard)

Stay tuned, I have a feeling there will some nice breakthroughs on this tablet eventually :)
