[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
Ive received mine today.

Yea the button suck to press but if you cut the bottom it's a lot better. I love how the audio is now in front of the screen.

Only cons for this case is the bulk, it's bulkier than UAG one, also heavier.

I bought the black/silver element and it look awesome.

Would I buy it again? Yea but maybe for 50$, not 79,99... But its a nice case :P
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Camboteav:
The eclipse is actually thinner than the uag but it is wider which makes it feel bigger when holding it and yes it is heavier due to the aluminum front but the case just looks awesome. I too cut the buttons and it does help.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Spud37:
The pictures look so amazing, I am glad that I have read this thread. It looks like the pictures lie. Did anyone have a good experience with this case. My spigen Neo Hybrid case actually just broke, so I am looking for another case to replace. I have heard mostly bad things about this, a few good ones. Is this case worth it? I know that the biggest problem is the buttons. People have fixed this by making a slit. My biggest question is, is this case worth the money?

Also I see mention of UAG, I am unfamiliar with UAG, would anyone mind telling me what this means?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Camboteav:
Uag stands for urban armor gear Company. Check out urbanarmorgear.com. I have both as seen in the pics. The uag case is probably the best case out there. It's thin , stylish, protective at the same time with reinforced corner protection. The buttons are easy to press. It's a one piece case. It doesn't scratch easily and is easy to clean. It won't break on you and it's light as crap. It's easy to install and remove. The element case is definitely not worth $80 but is any case worth it? I didn't buy it cause I thought it was worth it. I bought it cause I can afford it and I just wanted it because it looks bad ass. The buttons aren't as easy to press but if you do the cut-down mod it's really not that bad and you can use an app that turns the phone off with an onscreen button instead of the physical on off button. It's a 2 piece case and it's a little difficult to take off. It's heavier due to the aluminum. It probably won't protect as well as the uag bc of the aluminum and will most likely leave a dent on the aluminum. Now the pros over the uag. I think it looks better overall but that is subjective. The sbs sound channeled to the front is awesome and it has a kickstand. Drop protection is not as important to me bc I'm really good at not dropping my phone. So it's really about what you are looking for in a case and how much you are willing to spend. Hope all this helps. I have both but haven't gone back to my uag since I have gotten my element eclipse.

The aluminum interferes with GPS and reception

I experienced severe GPS interference using the Element Eclipse on my GS4--luckily Element Case was gracious enough to offer me a full refund and pay for return shipping. It's unfortunate--I thought the case looked and felt great in the hand aside from the wobbly kickstand that goes the wrong direction and the power and volume buttons which are nearly impossible to press. In any case, I'm resigned to using nothing but plastic cases in the future, even though they don't match the aluminum cases in terms of hand-feel.

I'd really like to see more plastic cases use metal button inserts in their TPU to keep the clicky feel to the volume and power buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Camboteav:
I had no issues with my GPS with this case. Sorry you did. Cutting along the Buttons helped me tremendously. Maybe try the Element atom which has no aluminum? Buttons are easier I have read from reviews.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CHUUZE:
Actually buttons are garbage on the Atom as well and it kills nfc... I modded the buttons by filing them down a bit and they work alot better but stock the atoms buttons are just as horrendous... They are way too sensitive...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I went back to my UAG. The aluminum is too rough. The case look good, work with my wireless charging but Uag is better on everything.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jrb7561:
The aluminum is "too rough"? What exactly are you doing with your case? :D The aluminum on my wife's case feels sexy nice to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
The side a slightly larger than the TPU, if you touch it from the back to the front, it feel like a blade but with UT the cut on my finger :P

The front side isn't fun to touch, it's not a perfect finish, it's rough and you can clearly see some small hole in it.

I prefer to have a feeling of TPU than aluminum.

Element case doesn't feel like a 80$ case at all. The TPU already got some scratch when all I did was to put in my pocket and on table. I still have some 2 years old Cruzer Lite at 10$ that look better.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flipq88:
So did you ever receive the knockoff?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Alfa Droid:
Waiting to hear about the knock off too.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trikpat_A:
On the first page of this thread I was really eager on getting the case. Now that I'm at page 16, I'm at a dilemma.

From what I've read from all of your comments, this case only offers good looks and an awesome sound redirection feature.

Is the power button problem really that awful? It's not worth it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Camboteav:
It's not bad at all if you make that long slit on the buttons!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] -Michael_:
The first one I bought did have extremely stiff buttons. I contacted them and they suggest I RMA it. Just received the new one after a two week wait and Damn! Buttons are way better! My wife has the same case on her S3 and the buttons feel very similar to hers now (which are good).

They are still a little stiff, I prefer this to prevent accidental button presses. They definitely made an improvement and now I'm satisfied completely with the case. Must say the speaker being ported to the front is badass, didn't realize how much I would like this feature. Sure, it's an expensive case no doubt, but it's tough as nails too and stylish to boot. My sgp neo hybrid survived one fall - after that it looked like hell and wouldn't snap onto the phone correctly.

So would I buy it again, sure I think so... Could they make it better, well yeah couldn't every product be improved upon in one way or another? Overall it's a keeper in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ReivITA:
80$??? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trikpat_A:
I see. Thanks for your opinions. I'm gonna go ahead and order one directly from the site just to make sure everything is legit. I'm having my doubts with casemotions. My problem with this case now is that I think I can only get one shot at getting a good case. As I live in Southeast Asia, RMA-ing it would cost alot. I'm reading some feedback here about element cases bought from casemotions that they RMA'ed their cases.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] -Michael_:
Thing is, I came from a galaxy nexus, of which I spent $50.00 on a dock along with At least $20.00 on two separate occasions for cases...

This case has a kickstand, providing I don't break it off.. Same difference. Not unjustifiable in my mind... Of course that's assuming it lasts the life of my s4 which I'm confident it will.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] motorsports601:
The phone case has style ,kickstand , and sound to the front, I can see if its 80$ people want a perfect case because its hard to justify to spend that kind of money. I really like this case but I won't pay 80 ill pay 20 for the knockoff though if it is true they exsist.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ElementCase:
You can order with confidence from Casemotions - they are a legit authorized retailer. If a case is RMA'd for warranty, we pick up the tab on shipping, BTW...

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sohail99:
So is there a revised version with better buttons?

I'm thinking of getting one (eclipse) from casemotions but how can I know if its the revised version? They might be clearing old eclipse stock and I might end up with the lemon eclipse :confused: :what:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] -Michael_:
I definitely think they revised the buttons. This new one is ALOT better than the first one I received when they first were released...... Who knows maybe the whole first batch was manufactured wrong to begin with...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sohail99:
I think they should clearly mark it as a revision to avoid confusion. And does it make sense to buy from element case directly?

I'll just inquire at their websites and we'll see what they say.

Thanks again Michael
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Hondo209:
Can you use this case with a tempered glass screen protector? I know I can't use the OtterBox Defender with this screen protector.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] -Michael_:
I bought directly from them. I'd bet that's the safest route as the inventory is the freshest , I agree they should let us know an issue has been considered and resolved. When I put in the RMA they didn't even second guess my issue, which led me to believe they had complaints already.

Not sure man - I have a sgp crystal clear on mine and it overlaps the edges of the protector. If I recall for the glass ones there needs to be a gap so the glass protector don't get smashed?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] highaltitude:
I wouldn't buy one after the way the buttons were on the s3. I wasted money on that one. Had to push so darn hard to try to get the power button to work.

Ok received it. Doesn't play well with my Iloome tempered glass. Power button is a bit stiff. And the kickstand does seem a bit cheaply made. Will be returning it and getting my money back. Don't really think it's worth $80.

Ordered my eclipse from elementcase website and wrote in the customer notes that I needed the revised version.

Hope I dont get one from the 1st batch!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sohail99:
Just got mine and installed it.

It fits so perfectly around my glas.tr slim that as soon as the glass ends the aluminium bumper starts.

Buttons are great fortunately and the sound redirect works amazingly!

It makes my s4 fascia look cooler due to the aluminium bumper contours.

The Al is cut and finished perfectly too.

Overall, Love it. :D

Definitely worth it imo :thumbup:

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for Dual Desktop Cradle solution. But I'm a little bit confused because I can't find dual desktop cradle with 2AMP, because OEM charger charge with 2AMP, so I think Dual Desktop Cradle also need 2AMP? or 4AMP because need charge battery and phone same time(so 2AMP for each)? Maybe someone saw any solution that meets my requirements? Maybe this one is good for me http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1470 ?

Works well, jut not sure if the spare battery stops charging when full.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Ypritas:
Yes, but this one are only 500 mA and not enough for Galaxy S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sharp910sh:
Ignore that it says its 500mA. I have used the galaxy charging app and it shows that it is charging at 1900mA, the same the dock is not used. The rear battery also charges the same time of not quicker than charging the phone when its off.

I believe the dock just passes through the current, it does not limit the current to 500mA.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mikli485:
I recently bought a Qtek s100 and have just tried it out... I don't know much about this kind of stuff, and now I've got a bunch of questions about settings abilities and upgrading etc.

I would really appreciate if someone could explain a few things for me.. since some of my question concern swedish settings and stuff, it would be great if someone from sweden would be that kind!

I would prefer to talk to someone over icq (55988176), but if you guys prefer I use the forum I'm okay with that...

My first questions:

Is it possible to write å,ä and ö while using the transcriber?

Is there any way to replace the english dictionary with a swedish one?

I'm also wondering about all the folders, what different folders used for? (it seems it's not a good idea to rename or delete certain folders)

Thanks for any help!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
Swedish is possible if you pay for it, www.handit.se i think working on an program how let you write åäö. Here is from there homesite.

En ny version av Svenskt OS kommer under Q1 2005 som då även är kompatibel med Pocket PC 2003 SE (Second Edition) samt Pocket PC 2003 SE Phone Edition. De kunder som köper översättnings-licenser fr.o.m november 2004 kommer automatiskt att erhålla uppgraderingsmöjlighet till denna version.

IT COST

SEK 745 kr "106$" for an translation so fuc...ing expensive, hope it will come on DC++.

Dont tuch any folder at all. It have to be left as it is.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
In transcriber it doesn't seem to be possible. However, in "Letter recognizer" there is provision for such characters. However, from testing it myself, the only one which seems to work reliably is å. Do test it yourself - could just be that my handwriting is poor.

Phatware produces a transcriber replacement called Calligrapher 7.4, which DOES have provision for Scandinavian characters if you buy an add-in pack.

http://www.phatware.com/calligrapher/index.html

http://www.phatware.com/calligrapher/cgrnorwegian.html

There is also this: http://www.zicorp.com/decumaalphabetic.htm

One the website where I found out about it, someonesaid it was superb in terms of recognizing scandinavian characters. However, the person also said that when they uninstalled the demo, it totally wrecked their OS install with regard to inputs. So be aware of that.

On www.smartphone.no there is some discussion of Scandinavian characters. There is a download there for a free Scandinavian keybaord to replace the one in your input options. But it is only keybaord input, it does not change the transcriber, still.

http://www.windowsmobile.no/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=121

As for the user dictionary, I have been looking to find out if it is possible to change - or at least edit it - and nothing so far.

Please post here if you get more info......
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mikli485:
So, no good news it seems... A way to edit the dictionary would be really great!

Anyone who can shortly describe the purpose of different folders? (would be nice to know)..

New questions:

First, there seems to be some kind of problem syncing the calendar with outlook xp... I've got my schedule in a vcalendar file which i import to outlook... everything seems ok in outlook, but when i sync it with my s100, every appointment is set as "all day event", and also the dates doesn't match (some appointments end up a day to late).. This is really annoying!

Second, is it possible to have different colors for different categories in the calendar, like in the calendar in symbian os?

Third, can I change the path to where pictures and videos from the camera are stored? I have set the camera to store on my storage card.. It creates a folder called something like 200502050001... I would rather store my pictures in a folder called Pictures...

You can get scandinavian character layout for the builtin keyboard for free from:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] LeSkip:
Excellent. Now the keyboard is truly usable. I just wish Transcriber would work.

I was thinking about installing the German version to see whether it works sufficiently well for Swedish. Has anyone tried this?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jayjay:
Calligrapher (which must have something in common with Transcriber, since the welcome screens are almost identical) has a swedish addon that works pretty well:

http://www.phatware.com/calligrapher/

Calligrapher costs $30 and the Swedish addon around $15. It works quite well, but the recognition relies heavily on the Swedish dictionary, so since I write messages in Swedish 50% of the time and Finnish 50% of the time, I've noticed that almost all Swedish words are correctly recognized, but Finnish words with scandinavian characters are rarely correct. I've started using a normal soft keyboard instead, since I realized I will never ever be able to handwrite faster than I write with a keyboard.

I've had some ideas about developing a keyboard map resembling FITALY for Finnish and/or Swedish. Fitaly has been created by analyzing a LOT of English words and putting the most common characters close together and also the characters most likely to be written in pairs next to each other.

The map would be completely different for Finnish and Swedish though and there's a learning curve, trying to absorb a new layout after so many years of qwerty. If I have time I'll give it a shot.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealpxc:
It seems I accidentally broke my Stock instance by letting some root-enabled app to modify /system. As I'm currently running CM10.1/SGT7 using the Hybrid setup (on the Nook HD+), this isn't a huge deal — I can still use CM. However, I was wondering what would happen if I were to allow (or induce) the Stock instance to re-flash the device after however many (8?) reboots. Will it also blast whatever partition my Hybrid install uses on the EMMC?

I'd like to keep my Hybrid CM10.1 instance as-is, and re-do the Stock instance (without root). What is the best way to do this? Can I specify whether the CWM instance on my SDCard is to mess with the EMMC/Stock install or the Hybrid/SD install? Can I allow the Stock ROM to do its stuff and expect it to leave CM untouched? Or do I just need to start completely over?

Thanks.

You can use the hybrid CWM to flash my plain stock 2.1.0 from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature (item 6). That will put stock back without wiping stock data.
