Well, when I woke up this morning I had gotten a full refund along with the message:

He didn't ask for a return shipment or anything. It seems on his ebay wall that he is selling more of them now, the same ones that don't work, but for a lower price. Not sure if they are stolen, gotten from a factory for mere pennies, or what, but atleast I got my money back. Now what to do with this pos case...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brucewee:
probably the same fake stuff you can get for dirt cheap in bulk from dhgate.com. I almost bought a bunch of Spigen cased to resell until I read that they were fakes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
That's good to hear. Hopefully, I experience the same.

I had deja vu when I visited that site. Wasn't sure if I was on ebay or Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] WRrobby:
My official one just shipped from AT&T. $65 is a pretty steep but hopefully it will be worth it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Yue_Akabane:
Hi Everyone,

I wish to have some advise on the S View Cover. As I use to be an iPhone User. 2 days ago I changed my phone to Note 3.

At the same time I brought an 3rd party S View Cover. But it does not need to change the back casing just need to clip together with the leather back casing.

So when I enable the S View setting. It does not work.

May I know is it because its a 3rd party casing that;s why it does not work and it's a must to have an original Samsung S View Cover?

Hope you all will be able to help me. As I'm new to this phone and new to this forum.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] legrunt:
All the answers you are looking for are in the past few pages. If you took the time to read, you would have found out that

1) There is no setting to "enable" s-view. That setting is just to lock or unlock.

2) s-view requires the presence of some electronic thing in the rear cover that interacts with the phone in ways yet unknown. Just a simple magnet does not work.

3) There seems to be a batch of faulty original s view covers out there, that apparently, Samsung Taiwan has issued a recall for.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dimlow_uk:
I have the white s view case on a black phone. I'm now wanting the black case.

Is the black case material like the back of the black phone? Does it feel more like leather?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] foriesg:
I am interested in your case where you able to position them correctly and does s view work
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aimfire72:
I don't think they were ever in stock. I had been checking the Web site last week, and as soon as they appeared, they were "out of stock". They are most likely just placeholders for now, but it's a good sign they'll be available soon.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fawaad:
Yes s view case work fine. It's just a stick on. I thought it would be connected through a circuit or something on the case but it didn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dhan_shh:
Trapped in Fake case from eBay.in

I thought of saving money,and bought this good looking FAKE item for Rs.649( around $10),

Nothing is working,useless and waste of money

Surprisingly,when I installed "S-View by HatRoid",it is working in FAKES,what a fake relief???!!!!

I'm happy atleast this works,planning to get a real s-view cover from Samsung café!

For the time being,we'll satisfy with this stuff!

Oh! Almighty! Save us from eBays!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dlu_tm:
doesn't work

I ordered one from ebay link below. Just got mine today. Cover doesn't work. Doesn't wake up phone or put phone to sleep when closed. Phone do not register touch from S View Window. I've ask for return but they'll probably ask for me to pay shipping. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brucewee:
If they have a return policy then paypal might cover the return shipping.

Or the seller will pay return shipping to avoid a negative feedback if item is not as described.

If it's as described and the buyer changes their mind then return shipping is on the buyer or sometimes paypal.

I just checked the ebay listing and since it's from China and was cheap to begin with you will probably get a refund, lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thinkjoey:
yea i know...piece of crap really, but just 10 bucks and I will just use it until I can get the official S View case. Sorry about that man
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Han Solo 1:
Verizon was out of stock on the official S View cases, but it seems they're back.

Just ordered a black one from Telesales. Overnight delivery. Should be here around same time as the beast!

Would you use a screen protector with the s view cover?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Han Solo 1:
No need. It will be protected the entire time it's closed.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fethi2:
there is an option for that. you have to open settings>general>accessories and weather option. there you have the refreshing option i think it is default set to manuel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Slappy_G:
Manuel? Who's Manuel and why the heck is he refreshing my data?! Just kidding, I saw it and had to say something.

On a different topic, where are you guys getting these from? Every place I've looked says they don't have them, and I hate Verizon with the burning heat of 10,000 suns, so I'd prefer to not send money their way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fethi2:
hahhahahahh manuel is my friend who is in charge of controlling my phone's sync and data usage and he is a badass guy :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Just received mine in white which is the color of my Note 3.. I got to say it looks and feels great, like an original Samsung accessory should..

I like the fact that it protects the bezel of the mobile (that I felt it was very sensitive in Note II) and I'm quite pleased despite the overall cost.. 65 euros.. ouch :p

The front screen works great w/o lag or any other issues as well.. Below are some pics
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
I had bought the cheap 12$ eBay flip cover. Got a refund from the eBay seller so he could save his 100% feedback. He offered to resend a working one when he got them but I insisted on a refund instead. He doesn't need the old one back which is good since no way I'm going to ship it back to china
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ariel:
Is the camera useable when the cover is folded back?

Is the camera useable when the cover is folded back, or do you have to hold it open like a book to take pictures?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Yes you can take a picture when it's folded back because the sensor is looking through the transparent window but atm it is night here and i can't test if this affect the IQ or not. But even if you keep it open, it's much easier to take a picture compared with the Note II's flip case i had, since the textured plastic is more hard and easier to handle. Hope this helps.. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
You can take a picture with it closed.. You can see your picture through the s window
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Slappy_G:
In other words, where are you guys ordering these from? Who in the USA currently has them in stock and available, other than Verizon stores. I will NOT spend any money at a Verizon store.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orbitech:
Makes perfect sense since it has a dedicated icon.. I didn't think of that..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fethi2:
i bought it from samsung store in istanbul. we have bunch of stores in istanbul and we have an operator called turkcell. they have flagship stores and they are good at it...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] WRrobby:
Just got my black one from AT&T. Kinda bummed that the music control only works for the stock music app. Anyone know if you can change it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Scyke:
The AT&T store in my area had 2 white and 1 black in stock. I bought the black but the metal connectors on the back were missing so I had to return it. I didn't want the white so I have to wait until they get more of the black.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HughesNet:
Metal pins? Are you saying the view cover has wifi charging built into it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] andrawer:
I was returning my LG G2 Case to AT&T today (since I swapped yesterday at Bestbuy for a Note 3) and thought I'd ask do you have ANY N3 cases...sure enough they had 2 white and a black which I got. They also had a couple other cases.

The S View Flip does have the 2 connectors but I have no idea what they are used for.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Scyke:
No that's the s view cover wireless that you're talking about. Mine had the connectors that made the s view display work missing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] side808:
My white note 3 with black S View cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poisonsushi319:
yup just picked up the ONLY one at the ATT store today, white on white
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] njfoses:
I have been debating the s-view case but it just seems like it would be a pain to actually use the phone. When you open the case does the open flap get in the way? Im assuming you tuck the flap behind the phone? Maybe I am missing something but it doesnt seem user friendly to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
Can you post a picture of the packaging that the original comes in please so i can help make sure I get an official
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] linzgeneral:
I think I bought the same thing. Looks very official with Samsung on the back. The phone does not respond to it though. Is there some sort of S-cover setting that we have to enable on the phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
It won't work. It doesn't have the metal contact pins built in on the back. I got the same one and had the seller refund me for false advertising
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vegetto123:
Just stopped by my local Best Buy. They never received any S View cases. Guna check out a couple more on the way home and see if they got some...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] njfoses:
Shows as coming soon on their website. I don't think any Best Buys have them. Some people have had luck at the att store.

Delete Post...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Bestbuy will not have any Note 3 accessories for two weeks per the Samsung rep where I live which is strange and stupid at the same time. You would think with so much hype they would be prepared for this....

It's in beta, what do you expect?

You know what, my check that paid for my Chromecast was in Beta. Sorry if it doesn't work! :rolleyes:
[Google Chromecast] jpirog:
Wow, I didn't realize people were so ignorant about beta products / early adopters.

If you don't want to be a guinea pig, don't buy a first gen product.
[Google Chromecast] mcalistor:
lol, I actually thought his comment was funny and should be taken less seriously. "Lighten up Francis".

Personally, I don't mind $35 for this device in its current state, but I can understand others' frustration. It's not free like many beta programs AND it's intentionally crippled (I understand why, not that I fully agree, but that's just my opinion).

YouTube... eh...

Netflix... seems like everything I like isn't available on streaming

Google Music... inefficient; other easier, simpler ways to play music on speakers, lol.

Personal movie collection and family videos... would be nice... patiently waiting...
[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
My chromecast is on its way. My living room is already a media paradise though. Ps3 and Xbox and bluray player can all stream personal videos and downloads and Netflix. Being in Canada it cost me like $75 when all was said and done to get my chromecast which is way less functional than anything I already have. I can stream any music I want through my surround sound from my nexus 7 or 4 even my chromebook or PC with Bluetooth. And of all that fails for some reason the HDMI cable coming from my PC can do all of that media stuff very efficiently. So why did I spend all that money on a chromecast, well I don't know. But I can't wait to find out what this thing will be able to do eventually after the nerds get SDK accessibility. The future is bright my friends. Let's just hope its not a flop like Google TV. But I think they learned a valuable lesson there.
[Google Chromecast] y2whisper:
I too am looking forward to when it can do more. Wonder what challenges they are facing to get the SDK finalized etc.

For someone living in a smaller space like myself its great to have the combo of all access and the ability to control your music in the living room from the bed room. The best part about this over google tv...this was only $35, minimal investment.
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
Amen.
[Google Chromecast] SalTNutz:
I feel the real issue isn't that it's beta/1st gen, we aren't talking about "bugs" here. The issue is this, if the SDK is still in beta, and we can't know its capabilities until that's done, then don't issue an "update" breaking it's current capabilities. Everyone was happy with what it could do while the SDK was still in beta, but then they "updated" it to remove nearly all of its functionality, while still not providing the final SDK and capabilities. This is akin to buying a 1st gen car, then the dealer says "we are going to release new ECU software that will change the way is works soon, but for now, we are going to make it only go 15MPH until we can release that software.
[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
Google is trying to get more media providers to sign on. No one wants to sign on for a payed service on a "hackable" device. I don't see this device being "open" for a while yet, but with the popularity of the device we can only hope media providers sign on and add content and functionality to the device the right way before it gets all hacked up and no companies want to touch it
[Google Chromecast] RojasTKD:
Didn't make sense to me.

The Chromecast simply receives the command from your device of PC to play whatever you have access to from that said device. It's not like having the Chromecast will allow you to watch fee Netflix. Many companies have already said that Chromecast support is in the world.
[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
Living in Canada it is very easy to get american Netflix on my PC yet it is blocked on my chromecast.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matata86:
Hello, today I brought home a fourth Nexus I had made the upgrade to 3.4 I have big problems with BT HF. Bad sound. When initiating a call, I turn off wifi. Do you ever have a similar problem? It's some solvable?

EDIT: Found out that the problem occurs only when it is paired and paid wifi in range. When initiating a call, wifi off and wants to again and again and connect it in some way causes outage call. I The fact that the wifi off is obviously wrong. I also tried on another Nexus 4 with 4.2.2. Ja mam 04.03 When wifi is paid or not ready to sit pairing, so it's ok.

You have a different experience? Is there any solution?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cptnodegard:
I've read that the S 4 is supposed to have good battery life, with reviews claiming that nothing you can throw at it will make it go below a day, but here's my problem: the turds doing reviews online don't actually use their phone.

I currently have an S II with a 2000mAh battery. Pebble connected, hundreds of Tasker actions/profiles/scenes going off all over the place, A2DP audio streaming, everything turned on all the time, and so on. The 2000 mAh battery in the S II is barely enough to get me through the day at this point, and so 2600mAh paired with a screen that much larger and higher res worries me. I don't buy a phone to play Tamagotchi with the battery, I buy it to use it, so I expect to be able to do whatever I want and not worry about the battery.

So, my question is simple: does anyone who actually use their phone for what it's worth have any thoughts on battery life? I've looked at extended batteries in any case, but it would be nice to hear how it does without such an upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Get a spare if you're going to get an S4 & you use the phone that much. I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life given the things you've mentioned, and I have no problem getting through the day with the 2600mAh battery.

You could get a 3rd party extended battery from one of the more reputable manufacturers (not my thing, but might be yours), or you could even get something like a Trident Electra hard case which has an extended battery built into it (2600mAh) which pretty much doubles the available zzz's you have at your disposal. I would have thought that would be plenty even for a heavy users' daily use (charge at night).

As to whether you personally need either of these, that's going to be hard to say even if you try & give people an idea of your usage. You're really only going to know if you get the phone & set it up/use it the way you do.

Put it this way, if you like/want the phone for whatever reasons you have, get it. You have plenty of options re: battery life & I'd be very surprised if you couldn't easily find a good solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archz2:
My phone is running on android jellybean 4.2.1 version.

I recently synced my outlook, facebook and gmail contacts to my phone book using the sync facility. This made lot of duplicate entries with the same name. for example a guy named Dave Williams has 3 entries

2 for 2 email addresses

1 for phone number.

This has happned for lot of persons in my phone book. I have tried apps like Contacts+ and go contacts ex. But these apps allow me to merge contacts one by one. i.e. tickmarking contacts one by one and then merge. Is there a one click way to do this? i.e. selecting all duplicate contacts in one go and saving time?

Hello!

How this BT Manager works?

I'm using BlueSoleil BT Stack, and it works good, but sometimes it is not stable, and there are things that I cannot understand in it. And that is less graphical than yours.

So? Is it a stack for beginners with fancy graphics, or for intermediates with better graphics than Bluesoleil? :D:D

if anyone got a bt manager the does :

1. you can see which bt device you are connected 2 and can connect/unconnect.

2. you can unpair/pair device

3. you can actually explore the divice files (like i can do with the samsung z300 i got)

Does it contain A2DP?

Hi Vijay555,

I am still very poor as far as modifications on my XDA mini are concerned... I tried the bluetooth stack in the other thread, with no success (I know now that my german ROM is too old, I own ROM 1.12.01GER with Radio 1.12.00).

O2 Germany does not offer update to this version.

All I would like to do is listen to my music on a bluetooth stereo headset, which isn't working without a modification of my bluetooth components...

Can your bluetooth manager help me ? Does it deliver A2DP to my XDA mini ?

Thanks for your reply in advance,
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
No, I'm afraid not... but didn't you get drivers with your bluetooth headset?

Have you tried the MSI BluePlayer?

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] superssc:
Hello Vijay555,

thanks for your quick answer. I did not try this yet, also there are two version of this player:

On their website the say one is for WinCE 4.2, one for WinCE 5.0...

Are those different to Windows Mobile 2003 SE (which I have), resp. which one can I take and what is the risk with it ?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

yours sincerely,
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Windows Mobile 2003 SE is based on WinCE 4.2, so go for that one.

No risk with it, but as it's a relatively big program, I'd recommend taking a quick backup before installing, just in case.

However, it can be deleted ok. It's an interesting app, it enables stereo bluetooth... however, I think it still needs to be hacked. But try it, and let us know if it works on your set.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] superssc:
Dear Vijay555,

thank you once more for your support.

I just installed the WinCE 4.2 File, and the programm runs stable, as well as the rest of my XDAmini...

So now, I will have to buy a bluetooth stereo headset....

But which one ? Do I have to watch out for something special (specifications, manufacturer etc.) ? I would appreciate also taking telephone calls with this headset, but this is not a must...

Thanks in advance for your help on this topic, I 'll keep you updated about the progress I will face...

Yours truly,
