Hi, can anyone please tell me if the S-View case will fit in the Seidio Surface holster? Someone did mention that the S-View won't fit in the original Seidio holster cuz it's only meant for the naked galaxy note 3. Thanks again in advance! Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vndnguyen:
Not yet. There are 2 possible reasons I think:

1- The IC is not stable

2- The contacts between the IC and the phone is not good

if it was (1) so the IC need to be replaced. if (2) so I think remove the IC from the back and reposition it may fix the issue. But I dont have time to do it now :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
I had the same issue and mine was because of the cover. At least on the one I got from eBay that has the larger s view window. Not the one that looks like OEM. The cover moved around too much so the magnet wasn't lining up sometimes. Had to make the hinge portion thinner so it moved less. Haven't had any issue since.

If you think it's alignment with the IC you could always remove it from the battery cover and just tape it on the phone side so you know it's in the correct spot.

Hi dear friends

I want to see the clock every time i look at the window of the cover.

Now who knows how i could have screen on for ever.

I want to have the Sview window on permanently.never off.

Thanks

Is there a way to change the duration of the S View being on?

Once it shuts off it seems that you either have to open the cover or remove the Pen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sveneezy:
Man that looks S-E-X-Y!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] k1ng r4t:
Unfortunately as far as I can tell there isn't a way to increase the duration. However, the truth is there isn't much you can do with S-View. So while at first I felt the same as you, the timing is actually pretty sufficient to just look at the time or weather. If you REALLY need a few more seconds, you can just swipe it to the side and swipe back. For me it's mostly convenient for answering a call, and I love talking with the case closed, just feels so much...safer. And more comfortable.

You can also hit the power button to unlock the phone with the case closed and it'll show the s-view screen.

Semi-update to my review...I'm really loving this case. It looks so sleek, it grabs everyone's eye whenever I pull it out. It also kind of looks like my old Gameboy color, which is always a plus imo. The flap on my blue case doesn't seem to cooperate as much as my friend's black case (though he doesn't flip his behind as much as me), so I invested in the $8 Spigen magnetic clips. So far they are great. Look good and they do a great job keeping the front flap closed, even when held upside down, but it still opens almost as easily as before (in a good way).

My only real complaint is I wish I could change the default music player. I hate the stock one. I use Poweramp and Google Music all the time so it'd be great if I could use those instead. Oh well...

If it won't break your wallet, I highly recommend this case.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tekjau:
I have the similar and I thought it's authentic, the chip is A20 T8K. The shop told me it was and it costs about USD20.

It's not working and I need to restart the phone a few times or at least once to get it work.

If I set lock screen to any other than swipe to unlock, such as PIN or pattern, the S View will not work.

Actually the case does not look like replica as it quality looks great. So I'm a bit confused.

S-view is good for battery life as it only displays half the screen

I currently have a Jasjar, but I'm finding it too big...

I love all the features, but I want to be able to use it one-handed, throw it in my pocket, etc... the K-Jam seems like a good alternative.

The only things that I'm not liking about the K-Jam are:

- Lower rez screen (but it's smaller than the Jasjar, 3.6" vs. 2.8"... so its still pretty sharp... and I can't really see where I couldn't live without it)

- 2.5" headset jack, and on the bottom... (kinda annoying... but could use an adapter... but still a hassle because I currently plug my MP3 player into my car, my headphones AND speakers at the office, and I'll have to have an adapter sticking out of the bottom of my phone now...)

- Mini-SD card... (SD is much better to go above 2GB, even up to 4GB... and it's not exactly a well known or used format... SD is cheaper, and Memory Stick Pro Duo is coming down in price since the PSP came out... but what can I do)

Also, does it work well for one-handed use ?

Any ex-Treo users who care to comment ?

Any ideas ? Suggestions ?

Thanks !
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] audiblefrequency:
The wizard is a solid device. Go for it!!

You will love the extra battery life and size. I really could not imagine having a universal clipped to my belt weighing my pants down.

I upgraded from an alpine and I could not be happier.

Higher screen REZ is not needed on a screen that small. The screen is much sharper compared to the alpine.

The OMAP cpu is just enough processing power to run everything out there.

Also, I noiticed you were in Canada so I doubt you were making use of the 3G power of the universal(probably another 5-7 years for Canada). The wizard is EDGE enabled so if you use rogers you will see great data download rates. I was lucky enough to already be signed up with fido and their $50/month unlimited data plan when rogers took over fido so i am paying $50 a month for unlimited EDGE use. I am quite sure FIDO does not offer this plan to new subscibers anymore.

My only compliants with the wizard are:

-HTC needs to make better use of the device by increasing screen size without increasing the size of the device.(all HTC devices)

-The stylus hole is a joke. My stylus hole wore out within 1 week and now my stylus slides out of the hole very easily. Soon it will probably be falling out. Didn't they bother testing this at all???

-no GPS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ikaris:
hey audible,

thanks for the reply !

I am with fido / rogers as well and I signed up for the unlimited plan as well... are you in Montreal ? and where did you order your K-Jam ?

so yeah I'd be good using the EDGE support... I often use my p800 as a bluetooth modem with my laptop.

a few questions:

- that sounds bad about the stylus... is there a solution ?

- have you experienced any issues multi-tasking with the OMAP ?

- have you ever tried a VGA screen on a pda to compare ?

- how's the k-jams one handed use ? have you ever tried a treo for one handed use in comparison ?

- did you remap the explorer and mail buttons to something more useful ? like windows and OK ?

- does the 2.5" jack bother you ? do you use an adapter ?

- does the keyboard slide mechanism feel solid ? I'm worried now after what you said about the stylus...

thanks and look forward to your reply !

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
- that sounds bad about the stylus... is there a solution ?

I haven't had any probs with my stylus yet, except it may be a little looser than when I got it.

- have you experienced any issues multi-tasking with the OMAP ?

Nope, I can have several apps open at once (eg. Calender, Notes, Email, MSN, IE x 2 (using PPCPlus), TCPMP playing MP3) and its fine.

- have you ever tried a VGA screen on a pda to compare ?

It resembles the crispness of VGA screen because of its smaller size, but in no way matches the res.

- how's the k-jams one handed use ? have you ever tried a treo for one handed use in comparison ?

Haven't tried a treo, but WM5 is great for one handed use. I can do most things without the stylus. The Win and Ok keys on the keyboard make it even easier.

- did you remap the explorer and mail buttons to something more useful ? like windows and OK ?

You can, but I find their defaults good.

- does the 2.5" jack bother you ? do you use an adapter ?

I rarely use it, but yes when I do I use an adaptor.

- does the keyboard slide mechanism feel solid ? I'm worried now after what you said about the stylus...

I am happy with the slider. It seems pretty solid, and the screen definately feels like it will stay up when it is up.

Wizard (imate K-JAM) is awesome!

Moving from a Blue Angel to the wizrd has so far been very pleasing. The smaller screen has been a little daunting, especially trying to use the "finger" stylus, but beyond that I highly recommend it.

Stability and features in WM5 are nice, and should not be discounted.

I'm on T-Mobile in the US, and EDGE is great at around 150kbs, compared to 30kbs via GPRS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] raheeeb:
i upgraded from my IMATE PPC and i love the K-JAM , it is a little slow , but the battery is great.. i love the deviced , once you get used to it and all features you will love it..

i used adapter to play MP3 in my car and it work great...

good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ikaris:
Hey rah,

thanks for the comments !

Good to hear someone else who uses it to play tunes in the car.

What about one-handed use ? Do you feel you have to do finger aerobics to do certain things, like open the start menu ?

I've heard of people mapping the Send Call button to the Start menu in the Today screen...

I'm wondering if I could map Send and End to Start and OK in every screen except for the Phone screen ?

Any comments ?

Nearly all of the Omni team are already too busy with devices we already own. (I haven't brought up the Moto G or Xperia Z Ultra despite owning them simply due to lack of time as it is in my case...) New competent maintainers are, of course, welcome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wvcadle:
Hello parallel universe of Android tweakers. I have done a good hour's worth of searching and reading and just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into here. I would just do it all without asking for what I'm sure will be redundant confirmations from you, but it's not my phone (see sig).. it's for a friend who thinks my custom ROM is the shiz.

So, I just wanted to make sure I understand what I'll need to do in order to root her phone, install a custom recovery, custom rom and possible restore to stock if needed.

My friend has the SGS4 with AT&T and has the MF3 update.

1. Root via this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2387577

2. Install recovery via the Safestrap method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448925

3. Install custom ROMs via TWRP after using Safestrap method to install it

Coming from the Nexus 4 side, I'm finding I have it much easier than you guys, or though it seems. If you wouldn't mind, may I ask a few questions about the differences between the N4 and this, in regards to rooting/recoveries, custom roms and kernels, etc?

A. I think I understand, from my readings so far, that there is some importance of showing the bootloader as 'official' or something? Can someone explain?

B. As of now, there is no way to return to stock once a custom recovery is installed?

C. What is the kernel module zip that has to be flashed after a custom ROM? Does it mean I can't flash a custom kernel on her device?

D. Once the steps outlined in 1-3 above are done, should she ignore all OTA updates, and if she doesn't, what may happen to her phone, or the state of it (root access/recovery, etc.)?

Thanks for any help. If you guys have gotten these questions a hundred times, I'll apologize ahead of time. I'm only asking because I've actually done a lot of reading and am about to proceed. Hopefully what I've posted above is evidence of that.

First and foremost: No multiple user support! Until this is provided by either Samsung or by a mod, I'm not buying this tablet. I was hoping to make this a coffee table appliance, and there is no way to achieve that without the multi-user support.

Another thing that kinda annoyed me was the seemingly cheap workmanship on the area where the bezel meets the plastic frame in the front. I held a white one at Best Buy and this annoying look immediately caught my attention. This would have looked much nicer if the bezel did not run over the frame and was instead flush with it. Normally I wouldn't care about this too much, but I know my wife will and ***** about how iPad looks nicer... jeez.....:rolleyes:

So why am I posting this? I guess I needed to vent... I had so much high hopes for this device, and now I'm having second thoughts...

And besides, didn't Google announce that they won't provide external sd-card slots, because they were "too confusing" to the consumer??? Really??? Or is it because they want to charge an extra $100 for 16GB in this day and age? Thanks Google, that's a deal breaker. The moment HTC did that, I switched over to Samsung (also HTC stopped making the battery removable). I hate when Android device makers are trying to act like they are Apple. If I want to buy something like iPhone or iPad, I will buy an iPhone or iPad. So stop taking away things that give you an edge!

I'm afraid that's what Samsung could be trying to do here by removing the multi-user support. They want everyone to buy a tablet. They don't want family members to share. Well, for the phones, it's understandable. But for tablets, there is no reason not to share. I hope Sammy gets its act together on this...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SlimJ87D:
Google's mission was to make the tablet as affordable as possible, it is one of the reasons why they cut out the ext SD card.

Their other excuse was switching over on how they wanted their phones to mount when connected to PC. But Samsung managed to get it working right, so I don't know what their issue was.
