Haha . . so true. I know it's dorky, but I remember my grandmother always telling me: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Well, in this case, a $10 case is worth a $100 deductible.

Actually cheaper through Case-Mate because shipping is free if you have Amazon Prime. This other seller requires a $3.99 surcharge. Still, $14.64 is a good deal. Returns or problems would probably be handled much better through original retailer, as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] David Felix:
Good question. I had the flip case but it sucks and I dropped my phone twice and got two nice dents. I ordered a simple case for like 5 bucks just so the back doesn't feel slippery and what not. I do not use a screen protector, it'll be fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jack143:
I bought the seidio active case and a glass screen protector before I even bought the note ii. This is a very expensive phone, I wouldn't use it and not buy some kind of protection. Seidio has an updated case call surface case but it didn't work with the glass screen protector cause the inside hard case would rub against the screen protector and push it up.The active case work great it's very slim and has a holster. Well long story short, I dropped my phone many times and nothing has broke or cracked. My job is physically demanding and its easy to bump or drop. Alot of my coworkers has cracked screens or has broken there phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brayden87:
I think you're confused with another case, I have the protective cover+ and it's probably 2-3mm thick. Adds barely any thickness to the note 2 and looks awesome. Cost me $30. I didn't want a big case and this one is perfect for me. Covers everything you want covered.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
just confused with Samsung original cover (which I have seen only on the Note 1)

do you have any link or photos of yours?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
I like to reference this article when anyone asks me this question:

http://phandroid.com/2013/01/03/samsung-galaxy-note-2-cases/

It's a nice real world example.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Very interesting indeed. And very nice looking bumper btw. This metallic bumper wouldn`t interfere on the device antennas?

I will consider these as well... I wonder how they compare to full body cases such as Duzign Sentinel, Speck Candyshell or Case-mate Tough.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] danibri82:
I didn't feel like I needed a case at all. Till I dropped it. Twice. The rear cover went flying and so did the battery. Phone held up flawlessly, but i didn't like the flying parts. So I bought a cute Incipio case from androidcentral.com
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] droidbabyxda:
Pls don't buy the cruizerlite spi-force... it is butt ugly and a part of the otter plastic where the hole for the spen easily breaks. Buy something else. Tpu of cruizerlite is good looking but lifts some corners of certain types of sp.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Thank you for sharing that. And the case protects fine, no worries on the usage?

Sorry about that, just pulled the trigger on the Duzign Sentinel, which I believe its a twin sister to the CruizerLite. Despite your feedback, there are a lot of positive opinions on its thread. It seems a very good value, even that I needed to pay US$ 6 for shipping.

So, my Note 2 shall be here in the next couple of days and that case some weeks from now. The Brazillian post office is damn slow on international shipments. I will have to live without extra protection for a while anyway. Let's see how it goes.

I still want a belt-case, but that is not necessarily for protection, just to carry the beast when my pockets aren't deep enough.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] danibri82:
Specifically I have this one. The Incipio Dual Pro Shine in white/pink.

It's awesome.

http://www.shopandroid.com/incipio-dualpro-shine-hard-shell-case-w-silicone-core/4AA13084.htm

No issues, no worries.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
looks good.

At first I googled it and found a flipcase. I kinda like those, as they can protect the screen a little better, but I`m afraid on such big device it may not be as comfortable.

And I liked the store! it seems it ships to Brazil... nice
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cdmoore74:
I don't trust any phone unless it's advertised as a tough phone. And so far I haven't seen any high end flagship phones marketed as such.

I will be buying cases for a very long time unless display's are guarantied not to break and the entire case can be swapped out cheaply and easily. That's why a metal body vs plastic body makes no difference to me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] afrojoc:
I hate phone cases. After I used the otterbox i had for so long. It RUINS the experience of the phone. I use a really minimal case now just to prevent scratches and also to maintain the original form factor. Its so nice:good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] droidbabyxda:
I don't know if they are the same but my cruizerlite was horrible. It looked like a design gone bad... bulky and overall just hard to grip. It broke before it hit its first month. I bought if off Amazon for $9 with shipping already. I contacted cruizerlite and received a replacement ... they gave me the option of picking a different case and I went for Androdified case instead.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jack143:
If you need better protection try the seidio active case and a glass screen protector, I had the otterbox defender which I did feel was too bulky. The active case actually makes holding the phone easier, and don't add any bulk, it takes a lot to impress me and this case did.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barflybzzz:
Sorry to hear that your experience was bad, but my Duzign Sentinel has been a great case, and they are identical. It's gotten quite a few good reviews here and elsewhere and the price is tough to beat. I find myself using it a lot.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ursoouindio:
Hi all

Now I have my Note 2 for a week.

Just would like to share, the phone is awesome, but it does seem that anytime it could flip over, hit something and be completely smashed. Definitely more fragile than the other phone I had (Motorola Defy).

I don't have any cases or SP yet, they may be coming on the next weeks by international shipping. Until then, I've been taking good care on it.

Thanks for all the answers. Best regards.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BratPAQ:
i was once like you, i thought i dont need a case, that is until i dropped my htc desire s and the power button hit the ground 1st, the button stopped working. the funny thing is that phone use to have a case but i removed it because i thought i dont really need it and it looks sexier without a case. you can just imagine my regret from removing that phone out of its case.

How can I get my PPC to subscribe ONLY to the Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders? It seems to want to check ALL folders on the IMAP server which takes a LONG time over GPRS and makes it a pianful experience! I can't mess with the IMAP server, so any solution would have to exclude changing settings on the IMAP server. Is there a 3rd party app. that fixes this?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] iggy:
Try INBOX/accounts choose imap account then TOOLS/Manage Folders and put a check in the box of each folder you would like to have checked.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] k_kirk:
Even if only those folders are marked for synch Pocket Inbox still waste time by re-loading the folder hierarchy at each connection. This is what we need to find a way to disable if possible. There was a specific option to disable this behaviour on the HP Jornada 720 (HPC) email client. Not sure why MS dropped that option on the PPC. Pretty sure someone could come up with a registry hack to fix this.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Glanzmann:
Exact same problem

Hello everyone,

I have the exact same problem. I have lots of IMAP folders (374) and my IMAP client always gets the whole folderlist. Has someone a workaround for that problem or is there a smarter imap client out there that just checks the subscribed folders or the folder I do specify?

Hi all,

I'm having the boot loop mayhem on my phone and unfortunately for reasons unknown the phone will not go into "odin download mode" even though it gets into android recovery mode :rolleyes: any insight in regard to resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
Hi,

I'm sorry, but I think you have bought a Chinese Galaxy S3 copycat. You have the same recovery than other counterfeiting product.

What is it display when you type : *#1234# in your phone dialer ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspired:
Hi lelinuxen52 thanks for the quick reply , at first I can't enter the code since the device is not booting up but I'm positive its not a fake coz 1. The screen resolution is.right and the camera takes 8mpixel pics with samsung meta data however I had an invalid imei issue which was fixed at the shop which makes me less sure abt it being genuine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
yes that's defently a chinese galaxy s3 so i have no idea what to suggest to u
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
I'm pretty sure that you own a fake/chinese Galaxy S3.

When it works, it has the same features than the real one. I haven't one near my desk, but I know that it has the same Android/Touchwiz appearance. It only differs by a fake android version often called "Android 4.1.9" (4.1.9 doesn't exist on Google development board).

Lot of people has the same issue with this mobile phone. I don't know if a solution exists to solve your problem.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwilasnd:
So if I can't get it into download mode, it's fake?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
not like that. even original GS3 sometimes doesn't enter download mode due to SDS. if your phone enters the mode as seen in the screenshots in the 1st post, you definitely own a fake one.

Im new to Sammy devices, and noticed alot of developers use heimdall instead of odin.Is there a reason for this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MoHoGalore:
Depends on how you look at it and what you're working on.

From what build box type you use, to using what you know, how you pack for distribution, etc, all plays a part.

You'll find some that say it's easier either way.

Of course somethings you can't do without linux and some you can't without windoze. (You can find guides to get you were you need to be on either build)

From packing tars, making one clicks, de-compiling/compiling, signing apks, etc..

Basically just going with what you know and how you learned. I haven't ventured out of my comfort zone yet to make a true comparison on the limited things I can do, just giving you my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lafester:
I'm guessing they use it because they are in linux most of the time.

[General Questions and Answers] xander555:
Android being linux based i have to look out for windows for tweaking the phone.

For example

1. Android language project is windows based

2.real apk leecher also windows based

3. Root with bin4ry also windows based

4. Sp tools also WINDOWS based .

Please make Linux based programs in Gui so that we don't have to switch to windows for a few programs for operating on android which is a Linux kernel.

I find it very tedious.

Please make it asap so that we can keep with Ubuntu only.

Cwm recovery also we should be able to flash it from Ubuntu.

Using wine doesnt perfectly work on usb interface and does not give required results.

Please do this urgently.

Make it all in Linux why depending on windows whats the point.
[General Questions and Answers] BradEK:
While it would be great to get more Linux support you have to realize most people have Windows and are not going to install Linux just to take advantage of these tools. Also most developers are most familiar with Windows and even if they do have the Linux knowledge they probably don't have the time to develop and test on two platforms.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
There is an offer for Xperia Z owners that gives them a 25€ voucher for SEN services (this includes PSN, which is what interests me the most). Is there some way to spoof our device to make the app think it's an Xperia Z? I'd really enjoy a free game off PSN.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
You must edit build.prop.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
I figured as much, but with google, I only find edits to spoof as samsung or nexus. Also, what do I need to edit for the spoof to work, exactly?

Can I get a full guide on how to do this, with all the data needed from the Xperia Z?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Ok, I have the Xperia Z build.prop right here (got it from some rom I grabbed on the XZ forum), which lines do I need to change exactly?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Nevermind, I did it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Changing the build.prop to pose as another device should work nearly the same on all Android phones, be it Samsung or Sony. So did you get the voucher?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Yes, it worked. I used it on PSN and I'm currently downloading a game. Hopefully it's not illegal. I don't feel too bad about it because I own a ton of sony devices, so I probably deserve it too even though I don't have the XZ.

I'd like if this thread was deleted ASAP if I somehow broke any rule.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dazjp71:
As of today the promotion is on hold due to to many people claiming the £20 vouchers, and seeing as I only just spoofed my sxs I just missed out lol. The message from sony does say it will start again and the promotion runs until halfway through June so hopefully I will get a chance to claim the voucher code.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] element800:
Couldn you tell us how you did it?

Thanks ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dazjp71:
For anyone not with an Xperia Z, but still have an Android phone you must first be rooted, and download build.prop editor. Back up first, then set the settings to this:

ro.product.device=C6603

ro.product.model=C6603

ro.product.brand=Sony

ro.product.name=C6603_1272-8629

ro.product.board=MSM8960

ro.product.manufacturer=Sony

ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/C6603_1272-8629/C6603:4.1.2/10.1.A.1.350/ofp_rw:user/release-keys

The offer is now working again but Sony have updated the app to block spoofed phones well at least the sxs.
[HTC Rezound] Amorphous86:
I have a Rezound I got in June of 2012, I am unlocked and running CM10.1 and the phone has never run smoother, but the battery is killing me. Back in December my battery just outright died and Verizon gave me a new one. The problem is that even though this battery is only five months old I only get half a day off a full charge. This morning I played a game for ten minutes or so and surfed Reddit for a few, in total less than thirty minutes of use and I was already down to 85% on my battery. Does anyone else have problems like this, is there an actual fix, am I doing something wrong? Someone help please.
[HTC Rezound] Proz00:
i use the pc to charge the battery its charge it at 500mah max

the battery life is better then normal charging

i use for browser uc with lower brightness and low image
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Try another battery, undervolt your phone, reduce your brightness, etc.. Can you take a screen shot of Settings, Power, Battery Use to see what's using most of your power? I'd suspect the screen is since it's a power hog.
[HTC Rezound] Amorphous86:
Screen is a *****!

I will start manually controlling my screen brightness, and what do you mean by "undervolt your phone"? Attached is a SS of m battery usage.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Make a screen shot after clicking on Screen item on you your screen shot. That way we can see how much usage of screen time you get. Usually I don't get more then 2 hours of screen time.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
If you got about thirty minutes of screen on time with only 15 percent drop in battery, then that is pretty good for this phone. Sorry to inform you, but it isn't going to get any better with this phone. Battery life is, and always will be, the worst aspect of the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] e495957:
Yeah that is a bit of an odd one to me as most reviews said battery life is about the same as the Galaxy Nexus, and most people I know with that phone are content with the battery life.
[HTC Rezound] swilbert80:
I assume you're talking about the stock battery and not the extended. With the extended I usually get about 5 1/2 hours screen on, but that with maybe 5% left.
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
Screenshot or it didn't happen. Seriously though get an extended.
[HTC Rezound] kpritchard:
where would you all recommend coming across an extended battery? ebay etc? Also, I got an extended battery a little while ago, granted it wasn't HTC oem or anything, but the back cover that came with it did not appear to really give me any signal anymore, as if the contacts for the antenna were not touching in order to allow for the signal to be amplified.

I have this: 2750mAh Battery For HTC Rezound, ThunderBolt 2 Extended with Black back cover from UK-Expert (can't post links yet)

I know I know...probably not the greatest thing to trust...didn't think much about it at the time =P Should I just go for buying htc oem off ebay? or what do you all suggest to get the extended battery & the cover so that it actually works this time =P
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
As you know our antenna is part of the battery cover. I have read quite a few posts where people buy an offbrand extended battery and their signal ends up bad because of the new battery cover. So because of that personally I would buy your first extended from Verizon. You have to be careful buying "oem" batteries off of Amazon and EBay because they make claims that they are oem when they are just lookalikes. I can suggest a case too that won't add any thickness to the back. I got that case and extended and love it.

http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extended-battery-tpu-case-hard-rubber.html

Looks like they are out of stock on the case but you may find it somewhere else. GL
[HTC Rezound] kpritchard:
ok will do. that case is out of stock but i'll check around :) I'll be careful looking for them since Verizon doesn't want anything to do with the Rezound accessories much anymore...or at least I had no luck finding anything. I'll see what I can gather up on ebay/amazon hopefully I get lucky :) thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfgrrl:
Just this morning I noticed I cannot get 4G LTE in a known 4G LTE area where I work.

I've tried toggling Airplane Mode.

I went into Mobile Networks and made sure CDMA/LTE/EVDO was checked

I went into access points and made sure LTE was checked

When I reboot my phone, the access point changes back to EHRPD.

Anyone know of anything else I can try? Looks like it might be a SIM card issue to me. Will I have to go back to stock in order to get a SIM replacement?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are calls and texts working fine? IMEI the right numbers? If so, I'd give Verizon a call later today to see if its a tower issue. Sounds more like an outage than anything else. If you're stock rooted I'm sure you'd be fine getting a SIM replacement with no problems from Verizon. I haven't gone for one yet so others could provide input there.

Hey, so I have a Samsung Galaxy S running CyanogenMod 9.

I want to test if my 3g is actually working or not. I used to use the 3G internet on the phone until I changed plan without mobile internet and now I've changed back. The problem is there is no 3G connection now.

I've been onto my network's forums and followed their instructions for setting up APN's etc. and the settings are perfect (even though I never changed them since the last time it worked)

So my question is that is there some way to test if your 3G hardware is actually functioning?
