Lockscreen Camera fullsized photos?

Hey there!

I just got my S View Flip Cover. The main reason was to take quick snapshots with my Galaxy phone without unlocking it, just like I just to with my iPhone. But then I realized that the SViewer Cover Lockscreen only allows for squared photos that are rather small in size. Is there a way to take a full sized photo? A workaround?

Cheers!

hey guys just saw this on amazon original samsung s-view with wireless charging for 34.99 seems a good price for s-view and wireless charging here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUBI47I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Has anyone tried this case out? Claims to have stand abilities and S-View as well but would like further infro from any fellow XDA member who might have this one (or one of the other colors by ESR). Thanks in advance.

It doesn't seem like there's a stand from the pictures
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Many cases like this have the stand ability similar to this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-View-W...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2588a29e3a

The big thing from the ESR case is that apparently it does have the IC Chip for S-View use. I'm hoping someone here on XDA might already own something in this line from ESR so I could get a better opinion on this case beyond the few reviews on Amazon. It's so hard to find any S-View cases that has stand ability anyways besides this and the SEIDIO one which I would be interested in had they made it available in blue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Well I'm taking a chance and ordered this case by ESR. I'll post my thoughts once I get it along with pictures.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pandawg:
Fair price. Sucks that's only for black and not white.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hd2Raz:
Damn it I just paid 57 for this case a few days ago. I love it, but would love it even more for that price. Man what a rip.

Guys, the weather on the cover of the flip cover is working on my phone (updates regularly) but on my wife's it's not updating. It's constantly stuck at 65F

any suggestions on keeping it update regularly?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnnyb33:
Hey razor I think its got to do with the widget and how often it refreshes. Touch the weather widget and go into setting then select the lowest time to refresh. Hope that helps but it will impact on the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] razorseal:
aha, it's actually setting within that switch button!

thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnnyb33:

Hi guys, does anybody know how to increase the screen timeout for the s-view window? Right now it's just 2-3 seconds. I want to set it higher to use Google Now with my car Bluetooth. Because now as soon as the screen turns off, the service stops. That's sad...

I don't care if I have to change some settings in a file. I am rooted, but I just can't find the location of this setting....

i got a s-view cover for myself and found someone using 3rd party s-view cover which is cheaper and s-view actually works, most of all the design of the 3rd party s-view cover is better than the original.

I think it all depends on what you are after in quality or design wise.

add ability to make calls samsung! and with lock security on

Why can't samsung just build a lockscreen into the S View window?

I'd like a full phone call dialer and email in the S View Window. And full camera or at least full-size image captured.

Seems like there's a LOT of room for improvement on what could be an AWESOME feature. I have Note 3 and S View.

So far it's almost useless. Adding in ability to MAKE calls and answer, and same for email and text, would be AWESOME. BUT also with a lockscreen enabled. Pattern if possible. Because I bet most people lock their phone! Me included. I like pattern because I can unlock it without even looking thanks to haptic feedback.

try Qcell S view flip cover it`s good i am using it and no problem very flexible

A question for people who has the oem s view cover/oem s view wireless cover/non oem s view cover or nillkin qi s view receiver with cover.

do anyone notice the reaction of the s view switching on/off, I have noticed the samsung oem is slightly slower or lagging when you compare to third part or non oem one's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Towle:
Just picked this up myself. Not a bad deal at all. It said there was only 1 left, but after I bought it the price jumped to $39 and now there's 18 left.. Still not a bad price.

I'd like to buy a cheap s-view flip cover with smart wake/sleep function, but I can't seem to find one that's still available in Canada. The Yesoo one seems popular but I'm unable to find it. Is there a list of ones that work well?

Anyone have any experience with the

Smart Auto Wake Sleep S View Flip Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III N9000

on ebay.ca?

I would really appreciate any response.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] matw01:
I'd be happy to find it in stock somewhere first.

Your pictures have made me want this cover again, can you tell me if the cover stays shut well? Is it done with magnets?

My note 3 is naked at the minute and I fear for it, I've already got a little nick next to the camera from a mishap :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jutley:
That's the question I have asked does it stay shut with magnets firmly or does it not?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wilflare:
will this interfere with wireless charging in anyway? man if only they have a slot for cards - this case would be perfect!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
The camera part is slightly protect than original back case as it no longer stand out.

They is some magnet at center as well some pin connector at the case there, I believe that part control the S View functionality and shut the screen well.

The screen will shut even half close. They is some magnet control it.

I think this model no wireless charging capability, as I notice they is another wireless functionality S View cover mention at website which haven't selling yet and no idea how much it gonna cost.

I not really care it yet as I don't have wireless charging device also.

Only normal flip cover had card slot. The material use is same for normal flip cover and S View cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klyeo:
Looks there's only white and black available. Tried searching for Orange ones and none came up.

Saw the compatible ones before. But looking for the original Samsung. Had bad experience with non-Samsung ones before for my S3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
Those don't have S View function. No point getting a big hole cover without S View Functionality.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerdgasm:
I did check on the settings. It's ticked.

Anything else? :eek::eek:

UK Note 3 owners - the Samsung Westfield store has stock of the S View and other Note 3 cases now.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Bought a similar cover from an Australian seller but the S-View functions don't work. So have now ordered and official Samsung S-View case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
There are 2 contacts. When you install - you can see that the contacts are placed properly.

Mine works fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Bond@007:
I wish to buy a S View Cover with magnets and S-View functions (wake up screen when i open the cover and reduce screen and sleep when i close the cover). Have you an ebay link for to buy the good cover because with all sellers and not compatibility, i don't know wich one to buy ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
I thought the S View case worked using magnets in the cover?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OdieS:
Thanks for posting this. I picked up a black S-View case for my white Note 3 tonight from the Samsung Experience Store and it also appears to be faulty, i.e the sleep/wake works but the S-View window doesn't display when the cover is closed and the on/off button is pressed, it just displays the normal lockscreen underneath. Will need to go back tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vagelis:
The S View option cover makes use of one of the contacts that are used for the Qi charger cover.

If you look at the &More selection in the microsite here:

http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote3-gear/acc.html

The 'S charger Cover' uses two contacts for the NFC and two contacts for the Qi charge coil.

The 'S View Cover Wireless' uses two contacts for NFC and three contacts for Qi charge and S View functionality

At least that is what would make sense, since both of these covers do NFC and Qi charge - their only difference is the S-View
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
Let us knows what happens as I have ordered from the Westfield shop but for home delivery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
Could someone post a picture of the underside of the back cover so we can see what the contacts look like. I think the knock-off imitation cover I bought has no contacts in the bottom cover. Will help other people here avoid buying a non-functional S-View cover. thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
You can see attached
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
My imitation case from an ebay seller in Australia does not have that connector in the back cover. Other buyers, I recommend you ask for the ebay sellers to confirm their cases have the connector on the back cover!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jutley:
I gave in and ordered the original white from samsung £50 yea i know hurts but it looks good my phone is black so white on black looks good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pigglett:
I was just wondering if the "white" cases get dirty or grubby after a while ...Anybody know ??

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerdgasm:
omg my case doesn't have the contacts. Wasted $15 for nothing.

I didn't know that you even have to take our your original back cover when you use the s view cover.

u guys know anywhere to buy the working case besides the original one from samsung?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
The following cases DO NOT WORK also:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111172016310?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

and

the ROCK S-View case http://dx-box.com/rock-leather-smart-cover-stand-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3-iii-n9000.html
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OdieS:
I went into the Samsung store today and unfortunately they didn't have any more black S-View cases so I was offered a swap for a white case which I didn't want or a refund. I went for the latter.

There was another dude at the desk also returning a faulty Note 3 S-View case although I think he got the last working black one they had in stock. The store don't know when they'll be getting more in but suggested it might be as soon as Friday but no guarantees.

I think I'm going to hold off for awhile, the case is pretty expensive for what it is and when I put the normal back cover back on, the phone felt noticeably lighter and easier to hold, so I might just take my chances without a case or wait for the prices to come down to a more sensible level.

The one thing I really liked about the S-View case was that it removes the camera bump, if I could find a suitable protector for the camera bump I'd probably be fine with remaining caseless.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
Mobilefun will have stocks soon of the official case http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Galaxy-Note-3-Cases.htm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
Well damn. Looks like I'll be talking to the ebay seller once I get my case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] legrunt:
That is not an option to activate or deactivate. Only to lock/unlock.

The s view window is automatically enabled when you put on a GENUINE and WORKING s view cover! It's fully plug n play, seriously.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Slendo:
How's the material of the white S-View cover? Is it hard and plasticky compared to the black version?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
I do hope Samsung add-in dialer or contact, so can direct call out. Now only can call out via S View from miss call.

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

This cover won't give you any S View feature as they is no connector at the back case.

It is fake even though the seller not honest label it as original.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

S View Original from Samsung really looks like a real leather, or possible made leather.

Both same material with soft touch feel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tommythai:
I wish I would have read this thread before. I bought a "claimed OEM Samsung S View Cover" from China but like you guys said for $18 and it didn't do anything. Those without the 2 contact points at the back of the cover won't work.:( I can confirm this as my friend has a genuine one in black and his has them and worked fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
Bought my Samsung case today from the London Experience store at Westfield shopping mall. Looks like very good quality plastic to me. But really well designed and feels like a quality product. I know it is expensive, but it is so good and the S-view functions are so useful just try to save some money or sell an old phone to get the budget to afford this.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

The S-view window is hard plastic, so should last.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Slendo:
Yep, I was just wondering because the phone back cover itself feels different depending on the color (the black is soft and sticky). Thanks for the replies.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
Hello, I'm using white one for 4+ days , and it is OK
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nodtotheagedp:
Does anyone with the official Samsung S-View Cover have access to a multimeter and could test resistance across the 2 contacts on the inside of the cover? It might be possible to hack a cheap ebay case by adding 2 copper foil contacts in the right places and wiring a small resistor between them. Could it be that simple?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
I don't think it work. Beside that 2 pin connector, they is a magnet in the center of the cover, the flip area.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] legrunt:
I'm starting to think this is not run by magnets at all. When I tape over the contacts on the back, the case does NOTHING...

No lock/unlock, no s view window, nothing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rajlesta:
there is magnet, here is proof

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

actually the material is similar or same as main touch panel. the window has touch sensitivity.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

synthetic leather or leather alike.. build quality is superb..

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

another pic for you
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
It looks great but for me it does not guarantee 100% protection from a fall, since a significant part of the screen is still exposed. Either I put something like wallet flip cover which covers the whole body or leave it as it is with some tempered glass. I'll probably go with the wallet flip cover though it looks amazing. I hope the quality of the manufactured leather is pretty good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
So, both the magnet and the pins are needed for the S View to work or only the magnet is fine? Kind of strange to have pins necessary for the smart functions since I'm sure there are users out there that want wireless charging too without having to buy OEM version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jeux_1:
The pin might be hear to get the electrical layer of the touchscreen to work since it is the same panel that you would have on the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
Maybe, I just find it strange since pins weren't used with the S4, but then again it's probably because the S View on the Note 3 has more functions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polorsport:
Does it work with the wireless charging pad?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nodtotheagedp:
I'm pretty sure there isn't actually an active touchpanel on the S-View cover window. The screen's touchpanel is sensitive enough to detect your finger through the extra layer of window (just like it can work when wearing gloves).

I remember years ago hacking together a custom iPod dock and Apple used different values of resistors between certain pins to tell the iPod which type of device (dock/battery/other accessory, etc.) was connected to the 30pin port. My guess is Samsung could be using something similar so the Note 3 can recognize which type of back is attached.

Anyone test the resistance across the S-View cover contacts yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dimlow_uk:
I measured it. It not a simple short. See image
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nodtotheagedp:
Thanks for checking that out Dimlow. Of course it isn't simple. Coughing up for the Samsung S-View cover might be in my future after all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
is it real leather though?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TopDogg1:
Do the s view covers offer any drop protection
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

Well case encloses the Note 3 so should protect corners but flap not secured so screen could be exposed to damage

Im assuming the $60+ s-view cases on ebay are legit samsung cases shipping from Korea?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
Absolutely some of them are.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maxima2k53:
All these cases are made in Hong Kong, so they're going to take a while to ship?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jah:
I've had two from HK that don't work! They don't have the special contact and magnets to make use of the sleep/wake and S-View function. Don't waste money on the HK cases unless the seller can verify true compatibility with the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maxima2k53:
Thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll wait.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
Well, while I didn't expect the cheap case I bought off of ebay to completely work, he did advertise the features in the title of the product. When I receive it in a few days and it doesn't work, would I be able to just complain to ebay or the seller and demand a refund?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maxima2k53:
If in the description it shows the features that you want and you receive it and it doesn't have them, then yes you can complain because the person advertised it falsely and week get your money back.

Anyone have experience or a review of this case?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BA0714:
Anyone knows if they are going to make a flip cover without the S View, like the note 2?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] frank26080115:
Can somebody confirm which two pins are needed for the S View function to work? Also there might be a hidden resistor, can somebody measure that resistance please?

Also can somebody point out the EXACT location of the magnet?

If we know these bits of info, we can force non-compatible flip covers to become compatible with a bit of simple wiring behind the battery cover.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
I just got my fake $12 from china. The thing is absolute crap. As expected, it doesn't have the pinnings so it doesn't work with smart view or anything. What really got me was how cheap the case felt. It feels like very hard card-board. Not to mention how it would barely fit on the phone. I was worried if I had to push hard enough it would damage the device.

0/10, do not buy, now I have to deal with ebay and its terrible customer service...

Picture:

Spoiler content hidden.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
Who did you buy from? Looks like I'll be asking for a refund when I get this case later this week. Otherwise, file a claim.

I wouldn't have minded the build quality, but the fact that the S View (or "smart" functions) doesn't work is not what I was expecting the first time I bought it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wiimonkey9:
Bought mines from manager_rong, though I suspect many of the cases from other chinese sellers could be the same. It won't let me open a case, so I have to first message the guy, and wait 48 hours before I continue on. I've had bad luck with ebay in the past, so I hope it all works out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fawaad:
I bought mine and found those pins at the bottom of the case. I thought it was faulty and took it back to Samsung.

It works out that the pins are removable and are just stuck on the case with no adhesive.
