Has anybody found an otterbox for the Galaxy Note 3?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frieked:
They are listed as coming soon on their website. Defender & Commuter options will be available

http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-3-cases,default,sc.html
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp1289:
They need to hurry up lol :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitronet:
Why, their cases suck. On the defender the outside rubber stretches and fits terrible after a short time and it makes this phone massive and almost unable to carry, at least thats how the note 2 case was.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp1289:
Alright then what would you suggest for a case because I definitely won't leave mine without a case.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitronet:
I ordered the neo hybrid from spigen on amazon, looks good and there is a thread about it and most seem happy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frieked:
There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.

I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeb85:
Check out uag cases they have it available already its cool looking and serves its purpose without the bulk I had it on my note 2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
If anybody sees the Defender at retail please post up- thats the one Im waiting for. :good:

Don't care if you think it makes it look like a brick etc, been using them since my OG Droid and have yet to break a phone from dropping it so I'll keep using them :highfive:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxufeast:
Just order the seidio surface for my phone it seems like a really sturdy case, they also have an active version not available@the moment but to me it seems like a slimmer more appealing version of the otter box defender Series, you should check then out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gvaz:
Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!

I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChappellHeel:
I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexp1289:
I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loggainsd:
I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.

From what I have been told by my distributor end of November for Otterbox on the Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexxxmackie:
Yeah. Its not released yet. Head to their site and you can sign up for an email notification when its released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmorton10:
I agree, I have a red neo-hybrid and it looks awesome but it is very slippery to hang onto.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haza12d:
Yep. Got mine yesterday. Went back in the box today. Went back to my modded SUPCASE. I'll have to see which one feels better in my hand, Otterbox or Seidio.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnarkov:
So last week, I accidentally dropped my naked note 3 about 1.5 feet to a concrete sidewalk. Very little visible damage on the outside, but sadly, over the span of about 24hrs, the screen slowly faded to black (starting from the bottom left, where the most ammount of damage is visible, across the screen in a circular pattern), and now the screen appears to be completely dead. During the time in which the screen went black, the digitizer still worked, as I could still get the phone to register spen clicks on even the black areas of the screen (i.e. i could still get air command to pop up). There is also zero damage to the glass itself. No scratches, skuffs, or marks of any type. Looks brand new.

So I'm currently in the market for a replacement screen/digitizer/housing assembly, should the repair centre quote me more than $275 + taxes to fix.

I'm going with a complete housing, because while I'm sure its simply the LCD screen portion that's no longer working, those in themselves cost upwards of $250. And it would require me to seperate the glass from the housing/digitizer, and then reseal them with the new one. I figured it would be much more cost effective to simply buy the whole package pre-assembled for $25 more.

Problem is, you can get different housing part numbers depending on which version of the phone you have (verizon, at&t). So my question is this:

Will it matter if I purchase the cheapest version? As an example, the AT&T black housing is 275, but the Verizon Black housing is 289. The last thing i want to do is fork over the money and find I ordered the wrong part.

I'm from Canada, and sadly our carriers are never recognized in these bloody situations. I'm with Bell, and I'm 'fairly' certain its identical to AT&T, but I wanted peoples opinions from here, as you are by far the most knowledgable about parts/hardware etc.

I'm SO choked at myself for being careless. My phone seemed to be flawless, and didn't exhibit any of the faults other people complained about (screen discoloration, all the functions like multi-window, one-handed operation, etc. not working). And now I've gone and forced open heart surgery on the thing.

I was looking here for the part:

http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung.html

As you can see, they have multiple models listed, and I just need to know if I'm selecting the right one.

(I also think that AT&T is my best choice, because after opening up the phone down to the motherboard and other parts, AT&T is printed all over the place. But I could be reading more into that than I should).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just get a free replacement with your warranty...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnarkov:
Because there is physical damage to the device? This voids most types of warranties, outside of some carrier warranties (it would actually void bell's, after reading over the fine print).

I basically have to fund the repairs myself, unless I sent it to the repair center, and they miraculously came back saying the damage didn't cause the problem, and it was just a defective screen. But the chance of THAT happening are pretty much nil.
[HTC One S] KrisKatz:
I didn't understand what's S-OFF and S-ON? How I get them,what means and how they help my device?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Security on/off. Allows you to access parts of the phone previously off limits.

GOOD: Run any Ruu, change hboot, basically do most anything to your phone.

BAD: Easier to brick your phone, if you make a mistake or something goes wrong.

Look at Moonshine or Facepalm in development section for guides to S-off

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pustulka:
I already know that it has Sony IMX111PQ chip used also in IPhone 5 and LG 4X HD which are taking better pictures, so did anyone improve drivers for 8MP camera in Nexus 4?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pustulka:
I put iphone there only because it uses the same cam chip as Nexus 4, but it is making better pictures with it, so it must be the drivers and software issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
The lens makes a difference too, however AOSP has been known to not have the best camera libraries out there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
They do not have the same optics period.

Where or who told you that they are the same are simply dead wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlabrad:
It would be possible to change the camera with an iPhone 5's? I mean, if the connections are the same, and the driver needed is the same...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNerd:]:
LOL if the camera is the same and the drivers are the same then there'll be no improvement
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlabrad:
The chip is the same, the optics are different.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
No no and more no. They don't share anything. They are completely different period.

Let's forget all the obvious things like the different part numbers of the back camera etc.

The nexus has a 8mp sensor with a pixel size of 1.1 micron pixels. The iPhone 5 has a 8mp sensor with 1.4 micron pixels.

Both phones have been out for a year and yet people still are spreading FUD about what is in them. They are completely different the end.

Does anyone know what is a good app for wi-fi tethering on the Note 3? I have always rooted all my phones for this specific reason and now would like to forgo rooting my Note 3 if I can. I have Fox-Fi installed and this is the message that I get when I turn on my hotspot. Thanks !!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enjoyspigeons:
After days and days of reading and making some progress, I am still unsure if I should proceed.. Almost all the info available here kinda assumes that I still use Sprint(not complaining, just explaining why I am unsure)

Ok so about a week ago I was using an app to change fonts on my LGOG(Myfonts I believe) and on my 3rd try, it rebooted as usual and left me with my boot animation looping. After searching and reading and searching and reading, I was able to get LGNPST working and was able to flash a teenybin with TWRP on it and able to get into recovery mode and could see all my files!!!! (well I was excited...)

I couldnt get adb to push and pull files but I was able to adb sideload "LGLS970SPR-ZVB-Stock.bin.zip" although it ended up failing saying "no MD5 file found"

Since i was able to flash the teenybin with LGNPST, could I just flash the ZVB-Stock.bin using LGNPST as well??

Also, would doing so delete my data(SDcard) and would I have to pay someone to reflash my phone to Cricket? Cuz I am dead broke till friday.

Any help or links in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I'm leaving out any important details or if overlooked any important guides tho I read so much I could have lost track lol I just got out of work a couple hours ago(I work nights) and now its finally my weekend and thought I should just ask for more info rather than just trying things blindly lol Thanks again in advance and sorry for the run on sentences.... and and and and lol I should sleep...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enjoyspigeons:
Ok nevermind, I tried using the flashable ZVB rom and it worked. All data still there and still have Cricket service. So I'm happy. Time for sleep.............
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bobafett4life:
Hello,

I am referencing this a guide on how to root 4.1.2 Samsung Galaxy 3 Verizon from this site. (It won't let me post the link)

I had already installed TWRP from the goomanager app before I went to this guide. I did run the unlock bootloader only from Odin. My samsung logo flashes fast on boot like it should for an unlocked bootloader. I did not flash the VRALEC Bootchain.

I did a backup of my stock rom that was rooted. I did a wipe and factory reset of the device then tried to install CyanogenMod 10.1.3 from the zip. It gave me an error that it couldn't open the zip file. I did a restore from my backup and on boot it said it could not do a normal boot. I had to restore with a stock rom via odin.

Do I have to flash the VRALEC bootchain? Or was that just necessary for the TWRP to be installed? If so I'm thinking when I ran the install recovery script from the goomanager app it did that already. I did not flash any of the listed bootchains after listed in step 6.

Thanks for your help

Jeremiah

Hi folks,

does anybody know if it is possible to change the activation/deactivation sounds VC makes? There are only .DLL-files in it's program directory, no simple .WAVs or somethin' simlilar. Is there a possibility to change that .DLLs directly?

thx alot for any help! :o)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seabass950:
I know how to manually move a ringtone into my phone, and delete the camera shutter sound files, but is there a way to make a script or flashable file that does this automatically?

Every time I flash a CM10.2 update, it restores the camera sounds and deletes my custom ringtone. It gets annoying having to do this every udpate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There are lots of guides to make flashable zips. You can even just use one from a mod you have already. You just need to reproduce the directory for the file in the rom - within the zip...

So you're flashing /system/media/audio/ringtones/MyTune.ogg, ensure in the zip that /system/media/audio/ringtones/MyTune.ogg exists... you also need to make sure that the updater-script mounts /system... so if you're using a donor zip, use one that flashes something in /system (gapps for example).

Delete command would be

delete("/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg");

...for example.....

Hello,

Try to use original power supply and leftovers from the original charger cradle - or make some adaptation - but be careful not to make any shortcut.

If You see the back back of the watch, with SAMSUNG name visible + is on most right contact (close to "G" letter) minus is second from the left (over the M letter)

see the picture -

So what are you saying? I only need to touch on those two points to charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
Anyone know if I can strip a USB cord, and use the black and red wires to charge the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] delcopa:
Wouldn't say black and red check a usb wire diagram online for the hot and neg wires. Then i would think you could just don't hit other connections.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ryland Johnson:
You have my total sympathies with this. Its absurd for any brand to issue a device that is totally dependent on one part and have that one part not available to the customers for replacement. What are we supposed to do buy another complete watch. I want one to keep in the car and one for the office. Not a chance in hell. I contacted the importer here and there apparently isn't even a part number that can be given to order stock!

You now have a brick! I despair with such short sightedness on the part of a major brand like Samsung.

Again you have my sympathies.

Kind regards.

Still looking for you man. My verizon buddy just laughed and said good luck, but he will keep an eye out. The guy at ATT said that if they get a return he will pull a charger out and say that it wasnt in the box and send it to me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] li Arc:
I've been having issues with bluetooth headset dropout during a call. Pairing is never an issue, and the bluetooth connection is solid outside of a call, but during a call the bluetooth may drop out without warning. This means that while I'm talking to someone, there is no audible noise or visual cue that the connection has dropped and has defaulted back to the phone, and thus I'm relegated to a "hello? hello?" query before I check the handset and find out the caller was asking the same thing to my pocket (which also shows the devices are never more than, say 1.5m apart maximum when this happens). As far as the phone is concerned, it's still 'connected' to bluetooth, as indicated in the dialer, and somehow isn't aware the connection has been dropped (or is and isn't showing). I thus need to redirect the audio via the UI either to the handset or speakerphone (away from the bluetooth connection it still think it's on), wait for the reroute to register, then redirect once again to the bluetooth to reestablish the connection. Again, without any audio cues the caller magically appears again on the headset, and we play the whole dropout game all over again. Connection duration seems arbitrary, lasting anywhere from 10s to a tens of minutes (with a 2-3 minutes on average).

This isn't isolated to any particular hardware, as I have had this occur on every one of my phones (Nexus S @ Android 3.x, stock and custom; Meizu MX @ Android 3.x - 4.x AOSP, OEM stock, and custom; HTC One @ Android 4.2.x - 4.3, stock only) and across all the headsets I've tried (Plantronics Discovery 925, LG HBM-585, Motorola H790), with Android being the common denominator. Note, I have used a Plantronics Discovery 655 and the same Plantronics Discovery 925 headset on my Nokia 8800 in the yesteryears, and have NEVER had connection or dropout issues.

Is this a known and/or ongoing issue, or is there already a fix for it? I haven't found anyone else with the exact same symptoms I've got, but seeing as the sample spectrum is so wide I'd be surprised if there weren't.
