So I bought this case off ebay. It's pretty good I bought it mainly to protect the back leather area so I don't get any scratches I would recommend it. The case comes with a screen protector and a kickstand. Sorry 1st post figured I'd pitch in bought a heavy duty case also soon to come
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AfallenTree:
I bought this case off amazon for cheap and it's surprisingly good. For the price.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] troyd28:
nice

How are those I was looking at them but it looks chunky in the back
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
its just the design to keep the camera not scratched and very good at that. however just like the luvvitt case it scratched on the back not as bad but still does.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HZNBRG:
Any pics of this case with the beast in it?:what:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
here you go
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I'd say 3 to 4 mm feels good and seems protective.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AfallenTree:
Only thing I don't like is its kinda sharp on the ear when you hold it there for awhile. Might do a little work to it. Any other good cases out there yet? This is the best one so far imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Maverick777:
I still think Diztronic holds the crown for best affordable case and arguably best case at any price for it's slim profile. It provides a lip around the screen as well as a lip around the camera.

I'd originally ordered the case as a temporary case until my Spigen Neohybrid case came in. But with Spigen screwing around with the ship date I decided to cancel the order completely and simply use the Diztronic case permanently. The quality is excellent and based on pictures of the Neo Hybrid, the Diztronic case is also more compact since the edge conforms to the phone more than the Spigen case does.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AfallenTree:
Hah I did the same thing. I ordered a case as a "get by" case but ended up liking it a lot.

My NH is "supposed" to ship on the 24th so I guess Ill just wait instead of risking it never getting canceled. I just hope it fits right.

Never thought accessories would be so limited for this phone. My local Verizon store only got 6 note 3's in on the launch day...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Not to me, cases wise I still give it about another month and a half before anything real good comes out.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
Hi eveyone, I updated my stock from 4.0 to 4.1 through odin and it was really painless. Sorry if this sounds lazy but can you install cm the same way? Doing the whole CW etc. seems a lot of steps - i'd rather upload one file only if possible. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] LitD:
i do not think you can install zip with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
Thanks. You cannot - what I mean is: is CM ever realeased as a TAR-compatible ODIN file?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
That can certainly be done. But it's not the norm.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
James chdset

Thanks Nardholio. I'm obviously missing some important feature CWM offers thatthe "odin process" does not. Is it seamless backup amd restore? Or is it the possibility of adding patches and new stuff - say, gapps on top of CM?

Thanks again!

Deleted because I reposted in the intended thread
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
CWM offers both of those things as an advantage, yes. You also can use CWM with the Stock image to gain the backup and restore features, amongst others.

And really, if you're already running Stock JB, the process is as simple as:

Place The cm-10.2-XXXXXXXX-NIGHTLY-apexqtmo.zip and gapps zip files on your phone, either on the 'internal' or external SD Card. (This even is optional, as they can be sideloaded if you have adb)

Flash CWM with Odin or Heimdall.

Reboot into recovery

Flash the cm nightly.zip

Flash the gapps.zip

wipe /cache with CWM.

Issue a factory reset with CWM.

Reboot to system.

If you're still on ICS, then you just need to add the steps of flashing the JB-stock-modem.zip and JB-stock-bootloader.zip before flashing the cm-nightly.zip (Turn GPS OFF before flashing these, specifically the modem, just to be on the safe side)

If you perform a backup with CWM before flashing anything, you can restore your stock system as you please.

If you simply want to root your relay, flash an appropriate recovery flashable zip copy of Superuser or SuperSU instead of flashing anything else.

kilr00y, along with providing the JB-stock-modem and JB-stock-bootloader recovery-flashable zip files, also provided a JB-stock-image.zip that can be used to go back to a stock-like system.

CWM allows you for a much greater amount of control over your phone, even when still running a stock image, due to the flexibility of being able to flash new applications directly to the system directories (such as Superuser/SuperSU) without having to have everything be signed by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
THANKS! This is by far the easiest step by step instructions I've seen, and gladly I'm on stock JB already.

Will give this a try

thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
just booted into apex CM 347 nightly after the... ehem... peculiar apex logo :) thanks a lot for your effort.

now, I am a noob but can find my way around. I still think the whole process (CM and co, not the relay 4g per se) is a bit convoluted and underdocumented. just an example: I downloaded the IMG file from CWM but it took me a while to figure out that I had to transform it into md5 for it to play nice with odin, etc.

buy hey. I'm going to setup my system.

thanks everyone!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
In all honesty, ODIN itself is an underdocumented POS, the recovery.img file (or in this case, the renamed apexq_recovery-10.2.img file if you were following along with the wiki) comes right from the build process, it can be flashed directly without much tooling about with it using heimdal, which is an open source replacement for ODIN, that works very well. Heimdall can be used optionally with a GUI, but I personally use it from the command line, to get it to flash a recovery image to the recovery partition of a Relay, it's simply:

heimdall flash --recovery apexq_recovery-10.2.img
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
How did you transform the img to md5 (I can also take the cwm in md5 format from the root thread, am I right?) ?

So I can flash anything without root using this method (even recovery) ? I couldn't do this with my desire Z, it's confusing me !

Which recovery should I flash to use cm10.2 (the cwm or the apexq_recovery-10.2.img ?) ?

=> If I use an older recovery I can't flash any jelly been rom's ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] LitD:
yes, you can

there are several differences. you can flash recovery via odin to a not rooted device

google 'install cyanogenmod samsung relay' and follow 'how to install cyanogenmod for samsung relay' wiki. 'installing cyanogenmod from recovery' is the same as for desire z
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jastorino:
I have had my K-Jam for a month now and I love it, but I find the phone part of it very inconsistent.

1) voice quality is inconsistent, some calls great some have static or are muffled

2) Bluetooth connection gets dropped out of the blue. I make a call and it works fine, two mintes later I answer a call and I can't hear anything; I look at the phone and I notice that the BT headset icon is off so I pick up the phone and I can hear the voice on the phone but not ont he BTheadset

3) Speaker volume very low, not usable for me; is there a setting I can use

4) when I roam to the US from Canada the signal strenght bars disappear and I have to reset the device (sometimes 2 or 3 times) before the bars appear again

5) lastely, sometimes the phone just turns itself off out of the blue.

Anyone else encouter any of these issues?

I use my phone for business and I find it a pain that it is so inconsistent.

Are there settings/registry keys I can modify to fix any of these?

Thanks

for (3) volume low.

I notice that handsfree (aka using internal speaker for public audience) is not "activable" if my bluetooth headset is connected (and even if I previously disconnect"tranfer" BT hS to 9100).

Only way to have this handsfree, is to shutdown previously by BT headset.

For other nothing special Roaming works well for me between France-Belgium.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChrisSpera:
This sounds like a carrier/ signal issue. See if you can tell how strong your signal is when things like this happen. Here in Nashville, TN USA, I don't have this problem.

I don't have this problem with my Motorola HS820. The BT performance is perfect. Much better than on my Blue Angel.

If you're referring to the speaker phone, there seems to be a quality issue with the speaker phone right now. A lot of people are reporting problems with this feature. I'm hoping a ROM upgrade will come out to help address the issue.

This is definitely a signal/carrier issue. Soft resetting when you cross the boarder isn't unreasonable. The issue is your cell phone registering on the roaming network. You're doing the right thing to resolve the issue, here.

Do you mean the cellular radio turns off, or the device sleeps? If the cell radio turns itself off out of the blue, its not supposed to do that, and there may in fact be something wrong with it. You may want to look into getting it either repaired or exchanged (depending on how long you've had it...)

I haven't had any of these problems with my K-JAM. Its been working very well, and I'm VERY pleased with the way its been working.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help.

[Moto X General] MEGABYTEPR:
Can anybody who has flashed both of this rom's tell me what is the best one? I'm leaning toward the T-Mobile version because it has 0 carrier bloatware and i think it will be the first one with the updates. I currently have a Moto X with an unlocked boot loader and can flash any of this two firmwares.

Thank you for your input.
[Moto X General] kornklown69:
Well I would think the firmware you have now will get the updates before the other two
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
You can also consider Rogers firmware, they are unlikely to get the updates first but they have no bloat. Not sure exactly sure how tethering is handled but its enabled for certain on my phone(likely sim related as well though) I have tested usb, wifi and BT tethering, they all work great.
[Moto X General] phositadc:
I cannot think of any reason to choose ATT over T-Mobile. All it adds is bloat.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] vileSpyderPig:
I couldnt get google music to play. Even if google music was active in memory, if I pressed next track on media player on watch - Samsung player would play.

I needed a way to make google music the default player. Google search turned up:

Default App Manager Lite (free)

By appiator

Just use the above app to make google music your default music app. Now gear always plays google music. Plus no need to uninstall Samsung music player or root gn3.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] doorgoo:
SO, just to be 100% clear before I drop $300 lol, this will make it so the stock Gear music controller controls PowerAmp? As well as S Voice launching through PowerAmp for music? My Motoactv just died and the only way I could justify moving away from it is if this had proper remote features to the PowerAmp since I need my custom EQs for my 86 BMW's speakers. If this is all true, as long as I love my Note 3 coming Monday I will be ordering a Gear ASAP! :D Thanks in advance guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] calinormy:
It seems that you need to start the desired music player first on the phone. After that all the commands from gear goes to the opened app. That's my case. I tried to set power amp as the default with app manager lite but it seems that doesn't work.

Wait, I'm confused. It appears that some are talking about controlling PowerAmp on the Note through the Media Controller while some are talking about running it on the Gear itself. I want to know if I can use the Music controllers on music players besides Samsung's. Also, I've heard that as soon as the Gear times out and the display turns off that you have to navigate back to the media controls. Is this true and is there any way to avoid it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Thecure13:
Thats where I'm sorta confused myself. I wanna know if I can use my gear to control Poweramp on my phone. Everytime I use the Media Controller, it opens up Samsung music app. As for when the display turns off, I press the power button on the Gear and it's still in the Media Controller. Its cool how it shows song of name etc.

This has been replaced by Universal Root de la Vega!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] designgears:
Question & Answer

"Root de la Vega" What kind of name is that?

It's named after Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T Mobility.

Can I flash custom recovery/kernel/rom without tripping KNOX flags?

No, Flashing a custom ROM will trip the flag

No, Flashing a custom Kernel will trip the flag

No, Flashing a custom Recovery will trip the flag

Will this set a tripped KNOX flag 0x1 back to 0x0?

No.

Can you help me with the drivers?

No, but you can head over here for help with drivers.

How do I get into download mode?

Method 1: adb reboot download

Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Will rooting or downgrading or flashing stock trip the Knox flags?

No, KNOX flags will not be tripped!

Will root survive a factory reset?

Yes, it does.

Will root survive an OTA update?

The Sprint Note 3 has survived an OTA update, you only need to perform the sdcard steps again to get root. However, you should NOT take OTA updates, it is possible for them to patch the root method with an OTA update.

Do I need have to fully wipe my phone when rooting?

Yes. If you don't you will get lots of nasty force closes. I have yet to find a way around it.

Does Xposed Framework work?

Yes, it has been updated to work fully with the Note 3.

Will rooting report system as custom and display an unlocked lock on the initial boot screen?

Yes. It can be removed by installing Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed and enabling Security hacks > Fake system status.

Titanium Backup is giving me problems, how can I fix it?

Check out this thread. If you are still having issues, please take your concerns to the dev, they are not related to rooting.

How do I open a 7z file?

With 7zip or IZArc!

Can I do this on OS X/Linux?

No, not until heimdall is updated to support the Note 3.

Can I unroot?

Yes, use SuperSU full unroot option or flash stock.

I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?

From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

I am getting Force Closes after flashing, how can I fix it?

Make sure you are flashing the CSC file! If you are, try flashing AP and CSC separately.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
just to confirm, i can remove/freeze system apps, run ad blocker, xposed, etc, with just root, right? I have never not fully "unlocked" a device and just stayed with the stock ROM. So just want to confirm before using this. And thanks btw for your hard work on this.

And one last one...Im pretty sure I wont be able to get OTA's so how would one go about updating once an OTA has been released without tripping knox?

EDIT: I just saw the 2nd post with all the FAQ...some reason it didnt show before until after I posted. But still wondering about the OTAs

I'm sorry if this is too off topic but, while it IS wonderful to have a root method like this and I'm VERY grateful for it, most of what I read online states that a custom recovery will mess with knox and cause issues. I dint know if I could keep an android phone and not flash custom roms! I'm still within my return window with t mobile (I'm coming from Sprint) and I'm actually thinking about trading for a nexus 4.

I can also confirm that if you bork stuff while rooted, you can Odin the stock rom over everything and start over without throwing the Knox flag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cmcooper1980:
I know that flashing a custom recovery or custom ROM will trip the KNOX counter...BUT...

1. is it possible to adb sideload (after Root de la Vega)?

and...

2. if you CAN adb push and pull, can we pull the framework-res.apk, modify it to our liking and push it back...or will this be the same as flashing a custom ROM which will trip KNOX?

I am curious because I'd like to enable unlimited wifi tethering like I did on my old Galaxy S III by creating a flashable zip (however with Note 3 I wouldn't make it flashable, just push)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] digittante:
Thanks for your work putting this together.

It was real easy to do, and root certainly is appealing. One thing I need is device-level encryption, and that is so far unavailable on a rooted N3.

I've even tried Xposed Framework with Wanam Xposed, and checked System status via TriangleAway:

Counter = 0

Binary = Official

System = Official

But somehow device still won't encryp. Back to stock I go (a 3rd time)...
