[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
To all who grabbed one of these... are you like me finding yourself quite frequently pressing the home-key with you S-pen?

If so, or if you know anyway, can the need to press rather firmly harm the pen over time? Because of the case design there really is a fair amout of resistance even when pressing with your finger.

I'm new to these pens and flat have no clue.

I have been considering shopping for a button cover extender to add abit of height for increase leverage when pressing it with the case on.

I just don't like the home button cover, its hard to press I feel like I'm breaking the cover for the case
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] brecklundin:
Had a problem out of the blue the other day. Either the hinge pins which attach the metal strap to the plastic flap as well as where it attaches to the body plastic, worked their way loose causing the plastic clips which anchor the pins to break or the plastic clips just fatigued and broke on my Revolution the other day.

I was disappointed for sure. I have not yet contacted Poetic but plan to soon as time permits. I'll pass along the outcome soon as I have one. I just wanted pass along that they failed so others can check yours for signs of damage or looming failure.

I'll post photos later as well.

Got one today and I'm a bit disappointed. The inner plastic shell fits nice but is not a snug fit. The outer rubber is a terrible fit. It constantly comes loose and has to be pushed back together. When using it I can feel the inner plastic case moving and it creaks a little. My daughter has a griffin survivor case on her ipad mini and I thought this would be similar. Not even close. I should have read more reviews on amazon before buying this.

Ok. So after trying about 10 times to getting this thing like able. I may have fixed some of the issues. I glued the rubber on the back. Seems much better now. I also removed the screen cover and cut out the home button section. Obviously I cant retun it and the warranty is out the window.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Sky314:
You might want to contact Poetic. They have pretty good customer service there.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] mictek:
I figured that since I pulled off the screen cover first they might not cover it. I bought the ballistic case and am very happy.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] dythan2005:
Definitely gonna get this one. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] mictek:
Read some of the reviews on Amazon before you buy it. I wouldn't recommend this case to anyone. Check out the ballistic case. Much better as far a quality and I picked mine up for less than this case.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] dythan2005:
Will do. Thanks for the heads up
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Well I am using the poetic case with my N7(2013) and m just loving it..its a nice case for carrying out...safe for the sudden drops and shocks...so if anyone is going for it...I would say without any confusion...you can go for it.....I liked it...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] Yoshi8765:
I recently bought a refurbished Note 8 (N5110) off amazon for college. I love it so far. It didn't come with a case, so I also started looking around for good ones. Even though not everyone is happy with the Poetic Revolution, I decided to go for it. I don't think there are many products out that that satisfies everyone anyways. I also bought it on amazon.

Anyways, it's been about 1 hour since I got it in the mail, here are my first impressions, and I also have a question to ask you guys...

As soon as I opened it, I was a bit disappointed at how the silicone looked. In actuality, it's a lighter grey and a lot cheaper-looking compared to the pictures they have. I guess that's expected: official product photos always look better than the product itself. :p Anyways, even though it looks cheap, the silicone outer layer and the plastic inside frame both seem pretty durable.

As I put the pieces together, I did have a little trouble putting on the plastic frame. It felt like it would break, but it eventually didn't, once it clicked into place. The trick is to put on the silicone before it clicks in.

The flap covering the S pen is a bit rigid, so I have to fight with it. That said, since if it was too soft, it would be a lot worse, so I'm not complaining.

The home button is a lot harder to press, but I think I'll get used to it.

The one actual complaint I have is the screen protector. It sure seems like it can protect allright, but it looks very dusty/oily, a mix of both. As I've never bought a screen protector before, I don't really know what they're supposed to look like. Is it supposed to be like this? I was expecting a flawless glass-like quality. I've attached some photos of the tablet with the screen protector on and pointed out some specks and scratches it came with. It looks small on the photos, but they're definitely noticeable when the tablet is on, especially the black specks.

It sure looks rugged, but let me know if your protectors came in this condition. I might ask for an exchange.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] wase4711:
pop that protector out and get a real screen protector for it. All cases with integrated screen protectors are horrible, so I never use them, instead I use a protector I like.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] mhackl:
I bought this case, and I don't like it. I don't think its a bad case for its intended use, but it's bulky, buttons require deliberate force, and it adds a considerable amount of weight. The kick stand is nice, but that feature alone (for me) isn't worth dealing with the other issues.

I haven't had a lot of success with folio cases either. I found with these and the Revolution that the first thing I wanted to do when using my device was to remove it from the case.

What I settled on was initially purchased as a cheap backup and I'm very happy with it. It's this simple TPU case: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151097971105 The fit is great. It's slim, light, and it looks good. I just use a neoprene sleeve for transport. If I was going to want to remove the case, I had might as well make it easy to do. Best of both worlds in my opinion (for whatever that's worth). The low cost makes it worth trying.

Hey, i want to downgrade my phone from cm7 to android 2.3.5 and i wondered, is there is a flashable version of the stock rom because that is a lot easier to use than odin imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] X-zone:
I think it's kind of an dead end for us non developers to convert from EXT4 to RFS (The filesystem stock uses). Guide on how to do it with odin can be found here. Note that u can use Enhanced236. It's based on stock 2.3.6 and uses EXT4 as internal filesystem, the same as CM. Alot of people think it's the most bugfree ROM for GIO. Here is the link to the thread where u can download a flashable .zip based on AROMA Installer :laugh:

Regards :cowboy:

X-Zone
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] formula01:
RFS :P, not RTF
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] X-zone:
Oh yeah typo. :laugh:

BTW: Use quotes, makes everything much easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
But can use stock kernel in zip package. Clean 2.3.6 RFS zip package is a good idea but idk how to properly edit update-script file.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] badagila:
why do need to edit the script file? if you really want to reflash your phone back to the original use odin and follow this GUIDE but if whant a flashable stock rom download this STOCK ROM this is a 2.3.6 gio stock made by Peteragent5
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
For no format and i do not want i just wrote about good idea. Peteragent5 ROM has custom kernel so its not the same as clean firmware from samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] badagila:
ahhh you are trying to build your own flashable rom and rdit your own script?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Not really, I am just a user, time ago I tried to edit script because there are lines for format ext4 and idk how to change it for good working. ;)

now i do not care.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] badagila:
i am not sure but i think all flashable firmwares are using custom kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
and i do not know why, in md5 is boot.img file like in zip package for extract so can use samsung kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] badagila:
in custom rom and all other flashable rom's kernel is always in boot.img file
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
exactly i talk about it man ;) so i think can use it instead phiexz stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] badagila:
not so sure dude i already try to change the boot.img after cooking but it is still installation aborted but i keep on trying to create a successful flashable rom and if it be done i will create one for you
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] WYPIERDAALAAC:
It's for updater-script for RFS but how to edit updater-script from custom rom based on 2.3.6 (how to replace ext4 commands correctly)?

unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("- please wait...");

I know that the other Samsung lockscreen widgets only work with Swipe enabled - is Dashclock the same way? Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0_face:
I just picked up my phone yesterday, and this was one of the first things that I had to figure out. Here are the steps that I took to get it enabled:

Go to Settings > My Device > Lock Screen

Enable the "Multiple widgets" by checking on the box.

Lock the Screen and Unlock it.

You should see the default clock / personalized message still there. Swipe down on the clock/message and you'll see the box expand. At this point, you can swipe within the extended box left and right. Go to a new tab (will have a plus sign). Select DashClock and there you have it. You'll have to move some stuff around if you want it to be your default lock screen.

Took me a little tinkering, but it's almost to where I want it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
So this will only work if Swipe is enabled? I use pattern and find using both Swipe and pattern redundant. I have to perform two actions to unlock my phone then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0_face:
Yeah, never understood why that was like that on my old phone. I have swipe currently enabled right now, I honestly haven't tried with any other unlocking method... Hold on...

Swipe seems to be the only Lock Screen that allows for "Multiple Widgets", other security options do not even allow for the option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
The problem I had with dash clock and Nils was that there is a default notification that takes focus built into the lock screen. I have yet to figure out how to remove that notification. I would always have to swipe left to see my dashclock or Nils notifications. Very frustrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0_face:
True. Even after I've deleted all of the extra lock screen windows and made DashClock my primary lock screen, I'll still see the default/stock notifications window.

I'm wondering if it's a Verizon thing, because I've seen videos where the DC messages notification will pull up correctly (and not to the default bulky notification).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveperrry:
I don't know if you ever found a solutionbut, I ended up switching the message app to handcent and the default notification didn't pop up.

So that's an option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Thank you

for the life of me i could not find the options to add to the swipe to unlock on dashclock and 2 days later i find your bit here just want to thank you. my mind is not at rest lol
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifewater:
I'm currently on Android 4.1.2 using Baked 6 and I want to upgrade to Baked 8, or anything on 4.2 for that matter. If I update a ROM, does this also mean it updates my bootloader? If not how to I properly update my bootloader without bricking my tablet? I've been reading around but there's so much data on the forums that I feel like I'm going to accidentally make a mistake :eek:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
No flashing a custom rom will not upgrade your bootloader, only the stock asus firmwares will do this or a custom made blob file.

There are several methods to upgrade your bootloader to a JB 4.2 bootloader which can be found here or here. I prefer using the fastboot method for upgrading but up to you. Just make sure that once you've upgraded your bootloader to a 4.2 bootloader that you flash a -4.2 version of twrp or you will brick. I would suggest upgrading to JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 & twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 as I find this more stable than 10.6.1.8 & twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2

If using the fastboot method and you need any help with any step just let me know.

So im curious, since the controller dosent really work smoothly with most side loaded games from the plays store. what is everyone using to play them (ex minecraft)?

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathknight842:
Well considering Ouya goes retail at the end of this month they really need to start working on the controller issues. And clean out a lot of those games, half of them don't work and the ones that do really really need work on their controller. Also a really nice feature would be if I could hold down the Ouya button to have the option to turn off the console like Xbox and Ps3, I hate getting up to turn it off.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozz465:
How does ones get a ps3 controller to work?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onetearfalls:
you can connect the ps3 via blue tooth and use a ps3 controller app like (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb21wYXRpYmlsaXR5Y2hlY2tlciJd)

and that should work havn't tried it yet though
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DivinityCycle:
You would only need that app if the game doesn't natively support it.

If the developer has done a good job, then the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers should work just fine.

For example, Bomb Squad natively "just works" with the standard Ouya controller, wireless and wired Xbox 360 controllers, and PS3 as well.

This weekend we played 6 player Bomb Squad (you can have up to EIGHT players on one TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!) with 2 Ouya controllers via BlueTooth, 2 off-brand USB wired Xbox 360 controllers, and 2 official MS wireless Xbox 360 controllers (connected via the Xbox 360 USB wireless adapter).

BTW, the adapter I am using for Xbox 360 wireless controllers is http://www.ebay.com/itm/370777929957?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

was like $11 and works great, also works on my PC.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degeneration:
Nope, you just plug in the ps3 controller via usb and push the reset button on the back and/or the ps3 button. Bluetooth will get messed up and refuse to turn on. Shut down the Ouya by holding down the power button, unplug the controller, start it back up and all your Ouya and PS3 controllers will connect just fine (if it doesn't work right away, go into the menu to pair controllers and just hold down the ps3 button instead of the ouya button and it will connect). I use 2 Ouya controllers and 2 PS3 controllers.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Pyrofer:
I went away for xmass, and the last thing I did before leaving (this is stupid i know) was to upgrade my XDAII to 2003SE 2.02 rom.

I brought only my USB charge cable because i didnt want to carry too much.

Now, when I plugged it in to charge on my PC it said charging and the light came on as usual. However, it seems it wasnt charging. I left it overnight expecting to have a charged unit, only to find it completely dead the next day.

Now, when I plug it in, the charge light comes on RED for about 2 minutes, then the unit comes on from a hard reset and shows both charge levels at ZERO.

It stays on for about 10 minutes pretending to charge, but only the backup battery charges, the main one doesnt charge at all. Then it goes off totally and the light goes red again.

If I turn the unit off while it goes red straigh away and wont come back on.

After a few minutes it comes back on and pretends to charge again. The Backup battery reached "100 %" but the main battery will not charge. its still at 0% and wont charge.

Ive connected it to a 5v2amp psu as it requires but this was via a powered usb charger so using the same lead, not the official cradle.

Im worried there is something wrong but dont have access to the cradle.

Has anyone else ever had experiance of a total discharge state on an XDAII ?

UPDATE

I travelled 50 miles today to get to the nearest charge cradle for an XDA2, put my battery in and it charged fine. I put it back in the XDA and it worked. However, when I got home I plugged it into the USB charge lead, and it came on and said charging again, with the yellow light and all seemed well. I left if for a bit and the battery was then dead again with no charge and back to showing the red light. it wont come on at all now.

This is the same lead i used previously and the only change is the 2003SE rom, has anyone else had a problem charging after doing this rom upgrade? Can I revert back to 172 ? how? help please.

Dude, I have the same problem on my 1.72 version. I have (of course) dropped by xda2 several times on the floor, but it works charging from the cradle (which again has a adapter connected to it) but not from my brand new USB sync+Charge cable. I have also tried another cable and even on a different PC. Only thing that happens, is that it says it is charging, but nooooo... it's all flat after a little while. It's as if the cable uses my XDA power to change the PC instead of the other way around :-)

It's funny. So now I have to drag that big-ass charger along with me to work every day instead of that neat little USB cable.

Life is unfair!

As for your problems, I can only say that you're not alone.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Pyrofer:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

I havent ever dropped mine, ive taken good care of it, so I dont think that is the cause. It does sound like the same issue however, I dont have my cradle here to test it though, just a usb sync+charge cable.

Does it work with the charge adaptor and psu alone? I mean the little thing that goes on the end of the mains psu to connect directly to the XDA without the cradle. How about on the cradle without the PSU plugged in?

I think this may be a hardware fault that needs repair, so its off back to o2 for mine if it is, you may find they would repair yours too.

Anyone else got an idea?

I have exactly the same problem. i am not sure if it was because of the upgrade, but this is what happened to me, I upgraded to 1.72wwe from the factory 1.66wwe and it was working fine when I noticed that sometimes when it was charging after pulling out the plug, the unit will display 0% charge from the external battery and then after plugging it again the power is at 100%, It happened twice and was ok again, I presumed it was just a glitch from the system and promptly dismissed it as such. After a week, it was hardresetting everytime i got it out of the plug. I brought it to the service center and they replaced the battery (it was under warranty) It was working fine then I upgraded to 2003se the unit was ok for about 3 days then i noticed that the unit was loosing charge and hardresetting everytime. I brought it to the service center again and they said they replaced the motherboard this time and was back to 1.66wwe. So far its ok and working fine.
