Hey guys this is due to the fact that when you write the SMSs you are including UNICODE characters such as ' " etc....

Due to the fact that these characters are encoded differently to standard characters, the SMS application has to reduce the number of characters in the sms and hence only allows 70 characters per sms.......which could mean that you send a short sms or send the sms split up! This can cost you a lot!!!

You have two options........

1/ Turn off Unicode characters

- this is done by; from you SMS inbox -> Tools -> Options -> Accounts Tab -> Click on * Text Messages -> un-tick the 'Use Unicode when necessary' -> then OK.

2/ Make sure that you don’t use Unicode characters

hope this helps!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rhedgehog:
you can also turn unicode and double-byte characters off as well.

in messaging app, tap accounts, and then accounts

tap text messages, and then untick use unicode when necessary.

This still allows you to type in the extra characters, but wether it sends them or not, I dont know (being an uneducated englishman, i only speak english so never use those characters!)

I have the same problem because i want to write sms in greek, but when i turn off the unicode the message fonts cannot be recognized by greek phones. Is there any other solution to this problem.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DREADNOUGHT:
No, because greek characters are in the extended unicode set, not the default characters.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mapas:
but how come we can send 160char greek sms with other phones ?

perhaps there is a keyboard mapping that doesn't use unicode...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dood:
woh guys!! I wondered why my qtek S110 did wierd stuff.. it's all ok now thanks to you!! CHEEERS!! ;o)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] iDG:
In the default 7-bit SMS alphabet, the greek letters that do not have a latin equivalent (say beta -> B) or omomorph (say rho -> P) letter, that is delta, phi, gamma, lambda, omega, pi, psi, sigma theta and xi are available, but you can't chose between upper and lower case. The official character set only supports UPPER case...

There are a few semistandard for dealing with upper and lower cases, but it's quite likely that the sms application on windows mobile can't deal with either.

only with the phone pad not......

I just added Lockscreen widgets to my app TouchLight which makes it pretty sweet.

Why not just use an led toggle in the notifications? Good question anon, the lock screen widget gives you access to multiple on screen lights as well as the led. It also turns down the screen brightness and works really well for being able to toggle the light on and off as often as you like.

Hope you all like the app.

Hey Bro,

I need help with coding.

i created a flashlight application by using camera API getCamera()

it works but when the screen goes off or i minimize the application the led light turns off.

looking forward for your reply.

thanks in advance.

and BTW nice work with your app. :good:
[General Topics] MinceMan:
The LED is tricky, lots of devices have a lot of different quirks with them so make sure your issues are not devices specific. When I was programming the LED stuff awhile ago I remember having the opposite problem.

I don't know about getCamera() and don't see anything about it in the docs. I use camera = Camera.open() (the rear camera is the default). I have to release the camera (camera.release()) on pause or else it caused problems with the stock camera app. To turn the light on I set the flash mode, parameters and then startPreview. I found this to work on the most devices. Some devices like autoFocus to be set also but a greater amount hate it.

Also remember that you have to give your users a way to turn it off when the app is not opened. I would recommend a notification. If they have to reopen your app through multitasking to turn it off that's a "fail, one star, uninstall" type of a thing.

This is what I'm using and works great with the wireless back:

Another one here, too:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F5QIVLO/

These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.

One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AssassinsLament:
Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.

Thanks for the links!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YoungSkeezy:
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.

Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Radukk:
From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AssassinsLament:
I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AssassinsLament:
If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vagelis:
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

Sent from my SM-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.

This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.

Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Try that insert...

Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
I tested it, and the NFC works just fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] galaxy808:
Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...

I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
I think ALL inserts will cause a bulge in the back cover of the Note 3, but it's possible to carefully peel the extra plastic/foil away.

The double-sided tape that holds the insert against the battery is also thick. That can be replaced with a small piece of clear tape or electrical tape.

I've also been wondering if some of the initial bulge mine had might be due to the insert contacts not being pressed completely into place. I was very careful with all those things, and now it fits perfectly, both wireless charging and NFC functions are good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jtblkice:
if there is any bulge it is ever so slight that i dont even notice it. with the uag there is deff no bulge with the case on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bigfella8656:
Did anyone manage to find a case? Its a shame as I would have thought someone would have filled this niche by now and made a case for the OEM cover.

Unfortunately I learnt the hard way, bought the handset and wireless charging cover and found that it didn't fit my Spigen Neo Hybrid - so I haven't migrated from my S3 LTE yet :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jev3gs:
I just got my OEM wireless charging case in and I tried it with the Spider Neo Hybrid... Fail. It did however work perfectly in my UAG case! All the holes match up and it seems to Wirless charge without a problem. I also ordered a completely soft Tpu case which I should have in a few days and I will report on that also.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bigfella8656:
I had the same issue unfortunately, interesting to know that it fits the UAG case - what are they like? How well did it fit, was it a squeeze or as good as with the standard non QI back fitted?

I have also ordered one of the cheap ebay TPU cases so hopefully that will allow me to get started with my new Note 3!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jev3gs:
Well the UAG case is tough. It feels like a hard plastic so it is tough to put on, even the regular phone has the same problem. All the holes match up great. The only thing is you can tell it is a tough fit because the chrome bezel picks out on the top and bottom slightly. Nothing to be worried about but the case might stretch a little, we shall see.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
Hi I was looking at the UAG case and can you please tell how is it working out so far with the OEM charging back on it. It will be great if you have any pictures that show it. Also on Amazon Spigen has answered that the Neo Hybrid case will fit the OEM back, Anyone tried it recently or contacted the manufacturer?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jev3gs:
The UAG case works well. I have moved to a bumper though instead due to wanting the thinnest possible solution. I have the Neo Hybrid also and it does not fit the OEM charging back. It is just too tight. The Neo Hybrid is an awesome case, I wish it did fit because the buttons on that thing are awesome.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Here are pics of the UAG case also on with the OEM charging back installed
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
Thanks for posting the info.... I thought the buttons were good on the UAG also... How is the spigen one as far as protection goes?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jev3gs:
The buttons on the US were perfect. Never had a problem with them and the OEM charging back installed.

Spigen one you can't even get one with the charging cover. Without the charging cover the fit is good and the protection is decent. The Spigen wouldn't handle a drop like the UAG would.

The UAG case I felt very comfortable that it could take a kit or fall. It wouldn't be as good as a case with a silicon shell, but it feels great and rugged.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
Thanks I bought the uag and I love it. I returned the original wireless back. I will try using the insert that is sold on Amazon I see some people mention there is an insert now that works with new.

I am using this add-on coil along with the UAG case and everything is working good. It wirelessly charges right through the case with my TLYT Vu charger. The phone does get very warm during charging but once it reaches 100% the temp drops down to only slightly warm. So far so good. Loving the UAG case! The coil added almost no perceptible bulge to the stock rear cover.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
How well does the nfc work and is it easy to install the insert. I have the tylt but I am yet to use it as I am yet to buy the back
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] w4rmk:
I haven't tested the NFC capability. Installing the insert was super easy, just line up the contacts. I wouldn't spend the money on the official back, get the insert, it uses the stock rear cover and therefore allows you to use any case. Samsung's charging rear cover makes the phone thicker.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
Thank you w4rmk, I got the original Sammy wireless back and returned it as it was thick. But nfc is also very important as I frequently use it for the various offers. How good is it on the tylt, do you have to properly place it or just leaving it casually will kick on the charging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] w4rmk:
The TYLT is awesome, it charges in both vertical and horizontal positions and it's not picky about perfect alignment. The Note starts charging immediately.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Face_Plant:
I don't use the inserts because:

1. I've read reports of the cards causing the phone to become extremely hot. My phone stays ice cold with the official cover and charging pad.

2. I don't like using a case on this phone. The only reason I've used cases in the past is to protect the camera lens. The official wireless charging cover creates a gap between the camera lens and the surface the phone is resting on so I don't have to carry around something to set my phone on.

3. I wanted to remove that ugly AT&T logo from my phone. Goof Off, brake cleaner, etc wouldn't remove it. The phone looks much better without that unsightly globe thing on the back.

Dear XDA Members,

Okay I want to buy this product, and I can't find reviews about it as opposed to the famous ZeroLemon Battery Extension.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8500mAh-Extended-Battery-Back-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-N7100-Galaxy-Note-II-2-/181102485781?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a2a8ca115&_uhb=1

What's the issue with these? Why are they not popular? I get this with free delivery as opposed to ZeroLemon which adds up to about $65 for an extra 800mAh (I don't think that's worth it considering I won't be getting that till December according to Amazon and their shipping). I live in Australia.

Have a look at it, let me know what you think please.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apallohadas:
General rule of thumb: If anyone is claiming to squeeze a billion mAh into a standard or only slightly larger battery, it's a ripoff.

The battery isn't popular because it doesn't live up to it's claimed rating.

Even posting a link to it, some poor sap is going to buy it, give it a shot, and get ripped off for 28 hard earned dollars better spent on chewing gum or popcorn.

There are one or two other posters that have posted links to the same battery, and they all have few posts like this guy:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2494002

Then there's this battery which suspiciously looks just like that one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2465295

Just a few samples pulled from the first 3 pages here. Stick with the reliable products. Might be more expensive, but they sure work well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Blackfyre:
Thanks for the information... So the people getting them claim they see a difference, while others are denouncing their posts without trying them. I have no doubt the ZeroLemon one will last longer (it just seems like a much more solid product, its size alone is basically three times that of the original), I went through with it on amazon all the way until the final checkpoint and realized i'm paying $20 for delivery and it will take about a month at least before I receive it...

I'm sure this product claiming to be an 8500mAh battery isn't really 8500mAh... If people are getting a 4500mAh battery they would assume it's lasting twice longer when it's actually giving them a few extra hours of use, and it will probably degrade worse than the samsung one over time.

I wish I can find stock for the ZeroLemon one here in Australia but sadly I can't find any, so I might have to get this one and give it a review myself. It does look like it's double the thickness of the original, so hopefully it's double the life (at least for the first few months before it degrades and melts on my phone and burns it) lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
listen to apallohadas because he's absolutely correct here. vectron has also done tests with proper battery testing measures that show such batteries are rip offs as well. that's the one thing to note about chinese/foreign electronics...they can be rebranded far too easily because majority of the time it's the same company behind its production.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Blackfyre:
Okay I'll take both of your words for it and not purchase this product.. I'll wait for the cover to come out for ZeroLemon (should be soon from what I've been reading) and might get that with the Rugged Cover.

If anyone who has purchased these batteries and would like to propose an alternative view to the current one, please feel free to comment.

Thanks again for the replies.
