Another bumper case:

http://www.mobilefun.com/41355-flexiframe-samsung-galaxy-note-3-bumper-case---black.htm

"FlexiFrame"

Looks like it has clear polycarbonate + white, black, or pink TPU lining though their pictures seem to show them installed on mis-matched device colors.

Does anyone make a bumper for any phone ever that has no raised lip on the sides of the touchscreen? I only want that around the corners and across the top/bottom (portrait orientation). Along the sides often interferes with touch screen operation on thin-bezel devices. Never even found one for the iPhone like this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Got my Bear Motion bumper/ring case today. Why didn't anyone mention that the buttons are not sealed?! It's impossible to see in the pics but they float over the actual buttons with a gap almost completely around that allows dust in. They are each attached with only two bits of material that leave an exposed ring almost completely circling every button.

It's not a big deal but it's still something I would have liked to have known in advance.

I have the Bodyguardz pure already installed on my GN3, but I also want to cover it with a case. Will the Defender series be compatible with the pure already on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lightpsycho:
As a rule of thumb, it is very unlikely that you'll be able to fit any thick (ie: 0.4mm like the screenguardz pure) in any case that is overlapping the front part of the phone. Rugged cases are molded to snap over the phone with very little play (especially Otterbox from what I experienced and have been told). I wanted to go with a Trident Kraken myself but I think I will refrain from doing so because I also want a tempered glass protector. There's some slight possibility that it might fit because the Note 3's screen is a bit "recessed" because of the bezel, so that might give a little room, depending if case manufacturers will compensate for this or not. Sad truth is: someone will have to try and report if a particular case/protector combo will fit or not. Only exception could be Ballistic Case's SG MAXX series, because what overlaps the front is made of silicon, and not polycarbonate plastic which doesn't flex. That's the one I'm actually gonna try with either the screenguardz or mime usa ghost.

Just got it in yesterday.. Tried it today, works great! No notification of "slow charging" and it goes much quicker than my regular standard usb charger does (the old ones for my gnex).
[G2 Accessories] alphawd:
I have this one, the USB plug labeled 2A works for fast charging with my OEM LG micro USB cable, and the micro USB cable that came with my original Motorola Droid Razr.

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Charger-3-1Amps-including-RP-CC01/dp/B009QTLTOM/
[G2 Accessories] sprint_dobbs:
Check out "ventev" product line up. They are a little pricey, but they have a great warranty as well as smart chip technology that stops the charge when the phone is fully charged.
[G2 Accessories] tomthedancingbug:
the ps vita car charger works as well
[G2 Accessories] djq:
ravpower works good for me
[G2 Accessories] Smokuevo:
I'd love to get pointed to original lg USB cable.. Greatly appreciated
[G2 Accessories] bsems1000:
Correct me if I'm wrong, But isn't 2A too high a charge rate for the G2?? The base for the GNEx is .15A, which is why we get the slow charge indication. The charge port that comes with the G2 is rated at .3A. I would think that the rated 2A charge in this thread would damage the battery over a period of time.
[G2 Accessories] BriVG:
The stock lg charger (AC) is rated at an OUTPUT of 1.8 amps. So these should be fine in a pinch for car charging. The gnex was 1.0
[G2 Accessories] WhiteZero:
A 2A port will give you Quick Charge. I'm pretty sure you can have over 2A on a port, and the device will only pull as much power as it needs. As long as the port is rated 5V, it'll be fine. It's 2A/3A/whatever available, not how much the charger forces into the plug. Kinda like how a home outlet is rated at 120V and usually 15A; devices will need to be rated for 120V and will pull only as much amperage as they need.

I might get this one because it's compact and has two ports at 1A and 2A.
[G2 Accessories] o0adam0o:
I'm considering something similar... but then I'm going to have to find a USB cable that's confirmed to do rapid charging. Might just go with the OPs

[General Questions and Answers] dbrown101386:
New to the board (1 post, yay). So I am sorry if this thread is in the wrong section. I just got myself a BLU Quattro 5.7 HD (the K-Touch v5 basically), and I've managed to root and tweak it, but I'm having a hard time extracting the recovery.img to use with the recovery builder. Does anyone know how to adb into recovery and dump it for this phone. The normal method does not seem to do anything, just throws a file not found error. If all else fails, does anyone have the Quattro 5.7 HD recovery img?

I'm in school for Comp Science & Programming and would love to get CM-JB 4.3 ported over to this phone ^_^.

Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Notifications like email and texts do not come in properly. Have no idea how this could be fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spinkick:
Are you sure?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
My buddy and I both have he same problems. The 2 things that Dont work are huge... No texts and email notifications. We each got 1 when first synced and have not received one since
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jrdejavux:
Are you using gmail or the samsung email app? btw i am on tmobile and it works
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.

Ian B

Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.

Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jrdejavux:
haha you have to turn them on

go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
Have you checked the notification settings inside the Galaxy Gear Manager program?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Hahahaha they all are on hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spinkick:
Are you sure you have a note 3 and not a Chinese knockoff tote 3
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Its directly from Verizon so you never know what scam they have up their sleeve to save a few bucks. I have tried to re pair up the device and same results. Any one have Verizon here?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
What email account r u setting up?

Gmail

Yahoo

Hotmail

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Gmail but its not just email. Its texts too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.

Report back if not working.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SgtGoldy:
Rocking the Verizon note3 and gear right now with no problems
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Can someone text you? How long does bit take to show on the gear... If ever
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SgtGoldy:
I receive the text less than a second after my phone gets it. Literally my pocket buzzes and by the time I look down at my watch it vibrates. Then I can read it and reply back with s voice :D. Not a single problem. I'm in love with both devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
So your email and texts are going to the Gear now?

If so, awesome. If not, see if poster Sgt... here can help u since he has Verizon too.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SgtGoldy:
Yep, and to be honest I didn't do anything special. I'm using the stock messaging app and email. I just took it out of the box and used it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Awesome, welcome to the club. My next project is trying to load apps.

Ian. B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
I'm also on Verizon and the gear is working fine no issues. Yes if screen is on watch doesn't get notification and had to enable what I wanted. But if phone is in standby the watch makes sounds and vibrates
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
Thanks so much to everybody but especially to delcopa and Ian. It is working now. My problem was the phone screen was on. I really appreciate everything. I have one more little issue about stock email notifications in the notification bar. I am getting the email notification but the email symbol quickly disappears in the notification bar. Since the symbol quickly shows and disappears I would never know I have a new email unless I heard the notification. What am I doing wrong that the symbol is not staying until I open the email app? Thanks so much
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ArborRes:
I suggest you to use the vibration mode as it works the best on your wrist.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] linzgeneral:
I have the same 3 emails set up and I have had my watch for a week. I get all my text fine but I have never received one single email notification. I have tried everything, even resetting the device. I have no clue what can be wrong..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stu5797:
My emails sync fine but text messages cone in at their good ole time. Definitely not instant on texts
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
In the Gear app, under settings-notifications, is that set to ON? Next, hit the word notification to go into submenu; Once in there, is the email box checked, if not check it. Send a test email to one of the accounts and put the phone to sleep.

See if you now get a notification. It will sound on the phone and few seconds afterward in the Gear.

Note: If the phone is awake, the Gear WILL NOT get the notification.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] linzgeneral:
Thanks but tried all of that. The thing is I get all of my texts, all of them. I have not gotten one single email. The boxes have always been checked and the phone is almost always off. I would hate to believe the gear is defective or at least inconsistent.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Dang it, you are pissing me off cause I can't resolve it for you. lol

Are those email accounts set to push when you set them up. You know, when you created them and entered your email address and password, the next thing was at the bottom of that same screen to do manual or auto. I chose auto. The next screen should have at the top a drop down box for you to select IPOP/PUSH. I selected PUSH.

Try deleting the gmail account, recreate it with my choices, send yourself an email, put the phone asleep and see if it comes through.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] linzgeneral:
LMAO. Thanks, I will try that. I will delete all of them and start from scratch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
Report back and we will keep trouble shooting and helping you out.

Ian B
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] linzgeneral:
Guys, thanks for all of the help. I got Hotmail and Yahoo working now. I took your advice and deleted them botjh and started from scratch. As soon as I set them back up, I started receiving notifications. I will try with Gmail.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
That's what I am talking about. Awesome news!!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skadude66:
Hello!

As the thread title states, I heard that charging the phone when it's powered off to a full charge is more beneficial to the phones battery, before I turn it on for the first time.

Is there any truth to this rumour? Or am I just fine to turn on the phone and charge it from whatever percentage the battery is at out of the box?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
As I understand it, all the batteries are charged before being shipped anyway. That is as good as / counts as the first charge. You should be able to use it at will.

Generally I start playing. After the first 3 or 4 full charge cycles it gets to the optimum in my experience, but that may be the phone calibrating itself.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

One thing that I do believe makes a difference to battery life is a slow charge. I keep my Note 3 on charge at night using my Note 1 charger, and it is taking about 6 hours to fully charge. I am not certain this is 'better' than a fast charge, but it seems logical that the battery could last longer (more cycles). Does anyone know (not guessing, like me)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skadude66:
I thought that they only charged the batteries to ~50% or so, but I don't know for sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Yes, but that is enough.

This thread will no doubt attract the usual plethora of wild theories. From everything I have read (sometimes from actual engineers), there is little or no truth to any of them. Just use it, charge it before it is empty (typically before it hits 10%, but the higher the better), and use it etc.

The only reason any full charge/discharge cycle may appear to help is that the phone calibrates itself to this battery. That can make it 'last' longer in the stats, but in reality it will not run out any slower.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You only need to cycle the battery if you're having problems with the calibration. (ie. It keeps turning off at 20%)

Cycling the battery to make the charge last longer is a placebo.

Phones are charged to +-30% before shipping. This so the device can be tested before shipment, and by the customer in the shop.

Best is to keep it between 90 and 10%, though in overall run the difference is that your battery lasts about 4 weeks longer before you have to replace it.

The advantage to charging to full: You can play with it longer on your first run.

The disadvantage: You have to wait 90 minutes before you can play with it.

That's it.

The old 'drain and fill' principle does not apply to Lithium-Ion.

For those who wants some reading:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Basically what ShadowLea said... High voltages, and low voltages stresses the battery, shortening its lifespan.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skadude66:
Perfect! I knew I had read somewhere (I think from XDA dev shen_ye) that you should keep it between 90 and 10!

Does it really only take 90min for a full charge?! I knew it would charge faster but that's really fast :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
With the original charger it's a little under 2 hours for 0-100%. So from 30%, about 90 minutes. :)

Been having problems with weak signal unless I'm right next to my access point and at work my phone can't even function on the Wi-Fi. It connects but won't do anything over it. Have to go back to 4g . any ideas:confused:
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
If using an extended battery...most aftermarket back covers have very weak signal...buy an OEM one
[HTC Rezound] nastarius:
So only go with HTC extended batteries?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
No, but the HTC back cover should be used if issues arise. Other manufacturers, especially the cheaper knock-offs, often have issues with the back cover and the antenna contacts. The HTC extended back cover can be purchased seperately.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Acejavelin is right..I have 2 extended batteries but and 2 back covers...one is aftermarket and gets really bad signal and one is manufacturer made by HTC and works perfect...you can get em online fairly cheap
[HTC Rezound] nastarius:
Ah OK, that might be my problem. I got one of those Laza 3240mah batteries, and it's so big the normal extended battery case wouldn't fit. You have to use the back cover that comes with the battery in order for it to fit.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
thats odd i have an aftermarket 3800 mah extended battery and using the manufacters extended back cover

The Note 3 button is smaller then the Note 2. Like you, I couldn't find any buttons for the Note 3 so I ordered some for the Note 2. It fits the Note 3 just fine with my tempered glass on.

I've been working on modding the sound config files to increase the volume since last Sunday, only got my ZU today, I can't look at the posted mod as I'm on mobile at work at the moment but is it the one with just the 1 config file inside, if so it shouldn't work anyway as there's 6 sound config files on the ZU, and they're named differently and are indeed very different to the Z1's, I'll be rooting mine and finishing off editing the files hopefully tomorrow, so as soon as I've done that and tested I'll upload a flashable zip.

Update :

My apologies I thought it was another mod I'd seen elsewhere, I'll have a look at this tomorrow after I've rooted etc and see if I can see what's causing some people modem problems, also turn it down a bit to eliminate distortion if needed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hykhleif:

Sorry, now I'm awake just realized what you said, it will just be a flashable zip file so if you have cwm then yes you'll be able to flash it, well think that should be right, just getting my head around this locked\unlocked recovery thing, been on samsung's for the past 3 phones, things are a little bit simpler with them, and only just discovered that my bootloader is not unlockable.
