I am. I wonder what's taking so long for them to get here? I'm in MD.

I thought Seidio made Good Cases? theyre even more expensive on the websites http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...ekickstand-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt3k-bk.htm

Doesnt seem like cheap plastic to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ggblake:
Nevermind I found it on Shop Android. Going to get it overnighted. Thanks though!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
Just saw some close up pictures of the Seido Surface case and it looks professional. Hopefully some of you can do a quick review of it.

I know everyone's pain the best buy here and other phone case store locations in North Carolina are about as dependable as getting strawberries in Alaska without mold
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fredrick1213:
I'm in North Carolina as well. Tried going to different stores until I decided to just order my cases online. Just received this one today

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apex-Double...DA_Cases&var=440186582138&hash=item20d9477902

Great case for the price
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tongueman87:
I appreciate that lol I am in need of a case durable for outside work and a clip
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Phorc3:
Just got shipping confirmation on my SPIGEN order... So hopefully early next week I'll have it and be able to give some first impressions
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fredrick1213:
It's not the thinnest case. Probably a little thinner than what an Otterbox Commuter would be. There are no cutouts for volume and power buttons. Instead, the buttons are raised. The cutout for the S Pen is good. It doesn't scrape the case when taking it out. Also, the seller is excellent!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
Looking forward to it, the spigen cases look great!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Phorc3:
So finally got my SPIGEN Slim Armour Case and GLAStR screen protector... First thoughts after a few hours... Screen protector is of a nice quality looks quite durable and despite the finger print marks when screen is off very clear when using phone... The case is quite bulky but the phone is big to start with so that's a given, but the feel is amazing very well made with little flaws.. Only one being the rubber at the top and bottom don't snug fit as much as I would like but still worth the money I spent... Case reminds me of the otter box commuter with rubber top and bottom and hard case around middle of the body...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Phorc3:
One thing I'll ad to this I just found... The headphone jack needs to be quite slim a stock standard aux cable won't fit.

Anyone know a way to find designed for tablet apps in the play store. I seem to remember a drop down box that you could separate tablet apps from all. But can't seem to find anything now
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RyanTX:
I have posted in a couple threads about this and there are at least a few people on here wondering how to get the tablet apps on the Nexus 7. There is no way to do what you are saying though - the problem is that Google Play doesn't see the Nexus 7 as a tablet but just a phone. <--- that's IMO.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] KiaraTheDragon:
i think this is the app you want https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tablifiedapps.tablifiedmarket
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] rexant1:
If you open the app store and click on apps, then swipe to the left where it says top paid, top free ...etc etc. Then you will see the drop down menu that says all apps and then designed for tablets
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RyanTX:
I don't see that on mine, I just tried.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] rexant1:
Here's a screenshot of mine
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] slattery69:
That's what I've seen before but now my nexus won't display it just looks like it does on my phone. Tried restarting the tablet and clearing the data but still won't show that drop down box
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] rexant1:
What play store version are you running? Mines 4.3.11
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] slattery69:
That's the version I have as well. It's not cos I have a nexus 4 on the same login is it ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] rexant1:
I wouldn't think so, the app should detect if it's a tablet or phone. That's weird yours doesn't.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] slattery69:
It is odd , i thought id seen it before hence starting the thread. But like you cant understand why its stopped appearing on the store now. Might see if i can raise a bug report with google about it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] AnarchoXen:
I don't see it either and I have the SGSIII on the same account. :eek:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] rexant1:
So do I and mine has it, don't know why y'all don't have it.

Can you take a screen shot of it?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] AnarchoXen:
Crazy Google I guess. Who knows with this stuff.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RyanTX:
Here's a screenshot of mine. I dont have the "all apps" button.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] dkb218:
Is that a modded version of the Play Store?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] slattery69:
i cleared the data and cache in google play services then the app store and oddly the option is back now. Not sure how long for but its working and i can see designed for tablets as an option now
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RyanTX:
I'm just running a theme Chooser theme.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Alexander90:

Dude, is there something like that as well??? I haven't sensed that anything since being on Android. I think that it provides a list of compatible apps only on the top. Well if you just get to know the trick then just share your experience here as well.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteZero:
I've never owned an LG Android phone, considering the G2. Wondering how bad they are about delayed Android updates?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theofficialpimp:
They deliver updates like couple times a month for a current flagship. Then after a year or so they forget about it. Then move onto the next flagship.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteZero:
Thanks! And I see that development is pretty active for the Sprint LG Optimus G, so that gives me hope there will be good community support through a 2-year ownership cycle.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoace:
Luckily your not going to be dealing with something like the g2x. That phone lost support from nvidia which made it impossible to upgrade the os. This snapdragon soc will get good support for 2 years at least
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmill75:
Hopefully CM will start making builds and LG's updates will be irrelevant.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
The G2X is what has stopped me from going back to LG. Took one year to go from 2.2 to 2.3 and it was a ****ty update that made the phone worse. Worst part was out of the box the phone would reboot or crash for no reason so I desperately needed the update. That was years ago so maybe they learned but in general I don't trust LG with software at all. Real shame
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meld:
Poor you own Old/2011 LG Phone

But now LG software is good, they learn from mistake

from ubergizmo

"The other thing that should not be underestimated is LG’s progress in software and product planning. 18 months ago, few people would have believed that LG would be where it is now. This has gone under the radar, but when I was in Korea, I found out that LG had invested enormously in software engineering since, and it shows: just like with the G Pro, the LG G2 user interface is nearly always fast and fluid. This is arguably the most important difference if you want to compare it with the Galaxy S4. "
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
That has nothing to do with updates. I've been burned too badly already. Good luck to you all
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meld:
I'm not talking about fast update too, just reply laggy/buggy software from your G2X. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsiddique:
I was burned by HTC with the Rezound, so that's why I'm skeptical about getting the HTC One over the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jishnu Sur™:
Guess what G2X didnot recieve an update, but international O2X got 3 major updates.

1. Froyo

2. Gingerbread

3. Ice Cream Sandwich.

Though we run 4.3 on it very smoothly..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Says the guy with a HTC One. HTC consistently burns people and has burned me more than once. I will just go with the better phone in this case. The G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan37tz:
Funny thing was my LG G2X was one of my favorite phones.

It had a screen light bleed issue, I remember I had to do 3 exchanges to find one that had only a decent amount of screen bleed.

It was also my first phone to crack 5000+ in Quadrant once overclocked. I was in awe lol.

Never had any issues with the software..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ska8tdude:
My biggest concern so far with this phone is the fact that it is made by LG. I am currently using a G2x, which I've had for around a year and a half now. It has honestly been one of the worst Android phones that I've owned. I haven't been following dev support on other LG devices, so I'm curious if there will be a decent dev scene or not. From my understanding, the reason LG stopped updating the G2x was because Nvidia wouldn't provide the necessary support.

I'm debating if I should get the G2 or just go ahead and get the HTC One or the S4.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big70tom:
The g2x was my first Android and I loved it. To the average consumer it was fine, but the lack of support was discouraging. I bought the G2 because honestly I'm tired of flashing roms and if there is zero support I think I'll still love the phone. The ui is very customizable. I dig it. I'm debating on even rooting. This phone has totally impressed me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSilver13:
I also love the LG os. it's 1000x better looking than touchwiz and performs better. If I could never get a custom Rom I would live. I only want a circle battery and removal of the att text in my status bar.
[About XDA developers] martin5kh:
I think i'm interested in this O2 XDA IIs PDA phone and will buy it soon. as i'm too new to this PDA and GPRS thing, i hope you guys can help me out. thanks!

What i want to know are:

1. is this phone good? any problems?

2. is that right that i will need to pay both, monthly cellphone service plan and data service plan, in order to keep internet access on 24/7?

3. is the internet access on whenever the phone is on or i have to turn it on when i need it and turn it off when i don't.?
[About XDA developers] Codenix:
Hi Martin5kh,

1. is this phone good? any problems

Yes, and yes. Whether it's any good for you entirely depends on your requirements, as does whether you'll have any problems. Probably the most consistent complaint is the poor Bluetooth implementation (in regard to different profiles).

2. is that right that i will need to pay both, monthly cellphone service plan and data service plan, in order to keep internet access on 24/7?

Most probably, however this depends on your provider. For instance, I use Vodafone in Australia and I'm on a 'capped' plan which includes $500-worth of services, for $79-per-month. This includes calls, sms, mms, and gprs internet. I suggest you check out your country's providers' websites for available plans.

3. is the internet access on whenever the phone is on or i have to turn it on when i need it and turn it off when i don't.?

Your device will connect to the internet whenever an application needs to. Generally this only occurs when you want it to (such as if you hit the send/receive email button in Pocket Outlook), however you can certainly leave it connected all day (as long as you're within your network coverage area). If you do, you can set Outlook to check email on a schedule.

Codenix.
[About XDA developers] martin5kh:
Thanks for your reply.

Now i'm kind of thinking of Xda II Mini and Xphone IIm as well. Because i somehow found Xda IIs a bit too big! But too bad Mini has no built-in keyboard and i have heard Mini has many little problems. Xphone IIm looks good but typing would be slow due to the natural of no touch screen.

What do you think? i guess my main purpose with the phone is to allow me to go on msn and read news.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] waynester21:
Hi, Air View will only work on texts which aren't already in full view. If, for example, you have a text saying "Hi, how are you?" then Air View won't work as you'd be able to see the entire text already. Hope this helps.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cs97jb:
Firstly, sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I was not able to find anything, hence this post.

I installed GooManager (can't remember why now but I know it was a good reason) but I want to remove it so that I can install OTA updates from AT&T. I'm not at a point timewise to research and pick an appropriate ROM so for the time being, I want to be able to download and install OTAs but it is not possible to do this with GooManager install as it fails when attempting to reboot into recovery mode to do the install.

Does someone know how to do this?

Cheers,

Jig.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
Just uninstall like you would any app, either through play store or settings/app manager

And are you sure its goo manager holding you back or a custom recovery like tarp or cwm...because goo manager shouldn't hold you back from updating
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Sounds like you used goo manger to put on a custom recovery which you now have. That's the reason the ota isn't working. You'll have to odin back to stock to get the stock recovery back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cs97jb:
Hi. Sorry for the late reply but I didn't receive any notifications about your posts - weird!

So, you were both right, it isn't GooManager but twrp. Is going back to stock via Odin the only way?

Is this purely for charging, or are you able to access the phone via a computer if it's plugged into a USB port?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] maverick1103:
Charging only.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] njthenj:
is it compatible with z ultra?

looks exactly like the DK30 for z ultra

so is compatible with xperia z ultra?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] techguyone:
Clearly not, hence the designation DK31. The Ultra is a different thickness.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Rekoil:
Though they did say the DK31 would have swappable inserts to be able to fit Z1s with a case, perhaps one could be made for ZU.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] techguyone:
Why would you do that, when you could just buy the Ultra one?

Or do you have both devices and want to just use the one dock. (which would make the idea of inserts a good one)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] CowMix:
It would be cool if you could remove the magnetic pogo cable from the dock and use it as a normal charging cable
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trinityb4:
Of cos you can! There is two screws under the dock which is covered by the rubbery grip.

Unscrew and ply out the dock, you will be able to use just the wire and the magnetic charger connector.

Try it! I'm using this method for my zu. Works flawlessly! :laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] maverick1103:
That's great to know, I was hoping that would be the case as I don't want to have it stood up on my side table at night, I like to have the screen down so it doesn't wake me up. Thanks for that info :)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] krispijn_s:
Does that mean that the dock is just a plastic shell and the cable just runs through it (in other words: is sealed at the magnetic connector)?

If not, there are apparently other alternatives out there already that are cheaper than the dock; you can find one here.

As it is on sale in China already, I wouldn't be surprised if in a month or so, you can buy cheap magnetic charging cables from ebay (just the cable; I wouldn't trust a knock-off adapter ;) ).

EDIT: Never mind my speculation above. I found a post on another forum that clearly shows that trinityb4's way works flawlessly!

EDIT2: Does anyone know whether the magnetic charging port is the same on the XZ1 as on the XZU? If so, here is your first ebay-able charging cable.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] billybobjones:
is this legit? it wont damage the phone or blow it up?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shaunwu:

Can I assume that since there are only 2 connectors on this lead, it must be connected the correct way around?

For example, the magnetic charger for my Mac Air has 4 contacts and can be plugged in either way around.

you can connect only one way.. the shape is different ...
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DarrenT:

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] shem2409:

[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DarrenT:
I do not believe the Tablet Z has a magnetic charger, it just has two contacts on the side.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] jos_031:
the cable used in both is EC21... but dock enclosure is different dk30 and dk31... the dk30 is too slim for Z1..
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] DarrenT:
Excellent ty. I can just order a ZU magnetic charging lead which seem more abundant than Z1 ones.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] trinityb4:
Hi everyone, the cable magnetic connector used in the ZU and the Z1 are the same connecter size. So for those of you got the ZU and the dock and you are buying the Z1. you might be able to use them together ;). According to the ZU is thicker, the dock should came with a different size attach which is swappable, which i think is for the ZU with case attached. so it might fit the Z1. Cross finger.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] droisntns:
Thanks. It's too bad they aren't compatible. Well, might just order dock for tablet and just cable for phone then.
