[Nexus 7 Accessories] SPEEDHAMMER:
Hi guys

we are all familiar with Xtremeguard's deals but they have another great code(82OFF2) which will earn you 82% off 2 or more items you purchase. I just bought Droid DNA,Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 TPU cases and it just cost me $6!. Screen protectors should be even cheaper! And shipping is free with international shipping only $4. Been buying their products almost every month as they are awesome value! Do check it out!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mikespe:
Thanks for posting this! I ordered screen protectors for my Nexus 7 during the Memorial Day sale...the only think I didn't like was that they were shipped in an envelope without cardboard or some sort of protector to prevent from bending. Luckily mine weren't bent. This time I ordered a TPU case for my Nexus 7 and Note 2 PLUS 4 screen protectors for the Note 2...total cost $10.20
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SPEEDHAMMER:
yeh its amazing value when such codes are valid. Retains all properties of its rivals. You just need to 'season' the screen protector for a weeks and the texture will be manageable. Yeh i agree, the envelopes are a bit flimsy,but that's how they keep shipping cheap i guess. The best deal i ever encountered however was 3 months back when they offered 80% off plus free international shipping. I ordered like 10 items that time!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nlabrad:
Are these protectors like invisible sheild or ghostguard? I mean, are the flexible ones that are kinda like a more elastic vinyl or are the cheap plastic semi rigid ones?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bransyeah:
Do you mean it gets better with time? Bought two and had one of them for like 2 or 3 days before peeling it off as the feel was just horrible. I've had a lot of other screen protectors and they aren't so soft and sticky as these ones.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SPEEDHAMMER:
Xtremeguard's screen protectors are slightly thicker than it's rivals.that's what I have come to notice.after a few days of using it,the rubbery feel does decrease by about half. You have to keep using it and rubbing it clean and repeat that for a few weeks and you will have almost a smooth surface. Alternatively,you can apply a tiny drop of baby oil on the surface and spread it evenly. The coating lasts for 2days. Surefire method and small inconveniences for a not so inconvenient price! Though if they sort the texture out it will be one of the best deals ever!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
That sure sounds like lots of work. Baby oil every few days or just waiting weeks for the surface to break in. Why not just go with the $2 eBay protector that works from day one and never needs any special babying or water to put it on in the first place?

I'm s off 112 h boot. No matter which Rom I am using when I am in a call the person on the other end can hear dialer tones as if I'm pushing numbers from the dialer when I am in a call. I think it's when the screen comes on and off via the proximity sensor. Anyone else ever had this problem? And if so how do I correct it? It's very strange. I can't hear it but the people I am speaking to do. Thanks for anyone who may have a suggestion.

They're offering a replacement of 128mb for the current 64mb in our jams. 199.00 (not too bad) So for those of us who feel a little constrained by stepping down from a 128mb pocketpc phone or xda II. This might be the fastest most reasonable option.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csee4:
Has anyone else experienced app icons disappearing from folders? The icon remains visible in the app drawer but isn't visible in the home screen folder.

The real strange thing is the folder treats it as though it's still there. (There's a gap where it would be) If I try to add it to the folder again, then both show up.

I'm having the problem with one app (wifi analyzer) but had experienced it before with other apps.

Any ideas or feedback is appreciated.

I'm running stock and unrooted latest update for what it's worth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Are you using the hide icons feature in the app drawer ??

I miss a few on occasion too. ..

Try this. ..

Enable all icons again. ..then wipe cache in the recovery. ..

Then reboot and hide apps again. .

It appears to be a stock bug. ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csee4:
This is one of those bugs that sparked my curiosity to try different ROMs.

Is there any place to read up on known issues with i317? Samsung has really dropped the ball in regards to support on their website. This seems to be the main place to ask questions but I feel like I have quite a few, some are general and others are more android specific.

I think I may be having buyers remorse now. I'm reading and trying to figure out as much as I can but it feels like I've read every book in an encyclopedia set and while I've learned new things the general things still remain unanswered or unfound. I'm not sure if it's device specific, android specific, or an app gone awry.

:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Every device and OS has bugs,,,it's just part of the game...

The note 2 is a solid and good running device with great support (here on XDA)...and the Rom offering is excellent as well.

If you purchased the device new, and it has any type of severe glitch...you may want to consider a warranty replacement.

Mine has always performed very well on the stock firmware, and although the TW 4.1.2 version is a bit buggy, it still performs beyond my expectations when compared to the note 1...

No regrets here at all.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csee4:
It's been pretty solid. I just get a bit reluctant to try anything beyond stock right now because there are those little things that seem to occur. I occasionally get a blue outlined box around app icons which has left me baffled because it's a rare thing but has happened a few times.

I'm not knocking the phone or its OS. It just seems tedious to find answers to questions. I am not comparing anything with my iphone experience, because it took years for me to become a go to guy with any issues with iOS or even the hardware. I just am finding it a bit more of a challenge to locate a good sgh-i317 based sort of a knowledge base. Do you by any chance know of any good information banks? Or perhaps I should ask where's a good place to start learning more in depth about it?

The missing app icons is more of a problem for me. The blue border thing just makes me scratch my head.

Sadly if you anything aside from flipping through home screens it disappears. I've tried getting a screen capture of it and it disappears. It's almost like when you only single click something on a windows desktop. It's a rare occasional thing but drives me nuts wondering what it is or why it happens.

This is a review of Anker extended 5200 mAh battery for S4: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXFMZPS

With a lot of different phone battery releases, Anker established themselves with a strong and dependable reputation. I used their battery with my Note 2, so testing their extended with S4 was no brainer. Although Anker doesn't manufacturer their own batteries, each one features grade A cells and full CE and RoHS certification. I know these guys stand behind their product and make sure it passes all the required built-in over-load and over-voltage protection. And to back it up, they always include 18-month warranty and a top notch support. This particular battery is no exception.

It comes in capacity of 5200 mAh which is a double of OEM 2600 mAh from Samsung. The battery has a built in NFC, just like a standard one. Obviously, double capacity comes at a price of double thickness and double weight. I confirmed that by measuring original battery to be 44g (1.6oz) and 5mm (0.2in) in thickness, while extended one 90g (3.2oz) and 11mm (0.47in). No matter what you find on ebay claiming capacity of more than 5200 - I would never trust it because it's physically impossible to stuff more cells into that footprint.

The battery comes with a cover that doubles the thickness of the phone. The one I received had a very nice deep blue color, and a smooth finish. I did find the finish to be somewhat on a slippery side. The good news, you can easily find extended tpu honeycomb case for S4 on ebay for about $6. That will add more grip and give your phone extra protection. I just found that Anker also offers their own TPU case for S4 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C3CSGL8), but do NOT get confused since this one is for a standard 2600 battery/cover which they offer as a replacement for OEM.

Performance of the battery was very impressive. I captured screen shot of it below. I run a stress test of keeping phone display at full brightness, no time out to shut it off, and playing HD movie in the loop for 10.5 hours!!! Along with web browsing, running some apps, and making phone calls, I had it running for over a day on 4G (no wifi) and still had 16% of battery left. That was not a light use, almost 11hr of hd movie at full brightness is not a joke. Overall, definitely a great battery to provide you with some extra juice!!!

Friend bought one of this, it functions as advertise. Recommended.
[General Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
One of the reviews said the battery cover was very thin plastic and prone to cracks and chipping from removing the cover to replace batteries often. Do you see this behavior with your setup?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I didn't find it thin at all. As a matter of fact, it felt very solid and no flex once you assemble it - a very important factor for me. But listen, Anker gives you full 18-month warranty to cover any defects or any problems with their product, and from what I read here in the forum they really stand behind it. So I wouldn't worry too much about battery cover since it's covered under warranty anyway.
[General Accessories] kjr52688:
I was going for the Anker one myself but then since its out of stock I went with the hyperion 5200mAh which came this week, it basically looks like that short of logos being different. The extended battery is so nice too, I use my phone A LOT and i can go the whole day and still have like 30-40% at the end of the day. Its my weekend now so I don't use it as much during the weekend so I'm curious how long it will go with low to moderite use.

[General Accessories] WrenchingPilot:
I'm using the Otterbox Defender with the Anker 5200 mah battery. I cut hard plastic shell of the Defender away in the battery area, so that it fits around the battery. The soft rubber outer shell of the Defender holds the battery in place easily. I didn't install the stock rear cover (or the Anker supplied rear cover--the Defender covers it all)

It minimally adds to the overall thickness of the Defender.

Full disclosure, someone else here posted doing this first; I simply copied their design.

UPDATE!

So I ended up getting my battery in the mail and have since then put it through a full day use from 100%. In the end I am a moderate to heavy user depending on the day and this would be extreme for me. I had 15 hours total use and 10 hours screen on time with all the fixings on for an hour then reduced it to WiFi, data, smart stay and power saving. I am running a custom kernel. I am sure this would easily give me 2 full days moderate usage. The battery cover is big but it does feel more solid holding it. The battery is floppy in the slot and can come out on the bottom end but the case seems to keep it there. I ended up taking a small piece of paper and wedged it at the bottom and its fine now. Overall would I reccomend this battery? Yes. I was able to get it at 17.99 through ankerdirect via Amazon (accidentally clicked next day warehouse shipping total costs 27.98) and it still came out cheaper then buying it direct from anker at 24.99 with shipping. I will continue to update this and give everyone more info as the battery is used.

Very happy with my purchase. In case anyone is wondering, the original back cover that comes with this battery works with the Seidio Active Extended Case as well. No need to order the Seidio battery door separately if you want to use their case. Just putting this out there so no one else will make my mistake and waste money on ordering a practically identical battery door from Seidio. This is different from the S3 where the Seidio battery door has different contours compared to the Anker one.
