[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
Glad I ordered mine before making this post. Hopefully I'll get it before Friday. I'll post pics when I get it. Lots of close ups so you all can see the details.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
Previous reply was rejected. I'm not going to type out all that again. My pictures and a video turned out crappy and out of focus. Long story short. This case protects better than just tpu but less than otterbox defender. It's slender and fits snug. The same quality you can expect if you've ever owned a speck case before. Grip ribs help with sliding but won't make it an effort to get out of a pocket like a glossy tpu or silicone case. Quality of build and function I give it five out of five. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. This case will definitely be my daily driver!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
Tight fit!

They are better at excluding dust than any other case in my experience. If they used a plug to cover the USB/earphone jack openings they would be better than anything else out there for this kind of protection.

That's a good thing too as being harder to put on and take off means intrusive dust could potentially grind on the finish, etc.

Bad news for battery swappers though.

Protection is good, you can literally toss it at a brick wall repeatedly and not worry about damage or even the case coming off in between throws. The grip is also far better at not showing wear/scratches from sitting on tables, etc. like the normal version. The high gloss back of the normal version will reveal marring/scuffing of sitting on tables, countertops, etc. in relatively short order.

Bulk-wise they fall in between a minimalistic TPU (Diztronic, Bounce, Tudia, etc.) and UAG with protection on par with UAG.

Its asking price is fair for the quality received.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
Just got mine today and fitment, quality, etc. is identical to past Speck products.

The buttons are covered, retain their clicky tactile feel and are no more difficult to depress than the naked phone! Fit is very snug, have not tried to take it off. It feels identical in hand to the candyshell grip that I use on my HTC one. It adds very little thickness, very similar to a TPU with far better drop protection. Even with a TPU I cringe if the phone slips, no worries here. Cutouts are well aligned and very tight. The S-pen cutout is quite tight requiring a fingernail to pull it out.

The camera is recessed sufficiently to prevent issues with setting down/dropping back first on a hard surface. The overall feel is it's well thought out and does not look thrown together like some other cases that were rushed to production. Worth the $$$ and I got another five bucks off ($30 total) by using a CNET coupon code. I always Google for codes when I see it on a website at checkout. Not sure if it's still valid and the black grip is OOS now...

Amazon doesn't even have this case (yet) and to get it for $10 off is a no-brainer!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] willywill:
Its a nice case i love the way the button, might have the best feedback but this case is worthless, within a few hours scratches will start to form and by the 2nd week you already want to replace because of the scratches. The darker the case the faster the scrtches will appear
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
I didn't notice scratches with my s4 and I had the case for months. Even so, it's better for the case to get scratches than the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Alanmw86:
then you must carry it in a cloth because everyone knows specks cases scratch within like 1 day like they've been in a warzone. they are great cases but they don't keep the look.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ChappellHeel:
$40 for that? Ouch. Looks like it should be $19.99 to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah I keep mine in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I never liked the Speck Candyshells. They scratch up like it's no one's business. They do look real good when you take it out of the package though.

Best thing is that they will replace their cases without any questions asked

I don't get the logic on how the sync works. I hit the sync and im getting browser data of my tablet combine with my mobile. Is there a way backup one way (export) and then later on i can just choose which data to import ? Now its just random and the tablet, mobile, & PC all combines with a sync. I know there is a export and import option on the PC version of Chrome. But don't see that for mobiles or tablets.

Try (if available for your device) using Odin to flash back to stock. Been reported by a few that this has worked for them.

Seems this is a common bug attached to stock 4.3 for a lot of folks.

Use settings

Safest thing is to use Start/Settings/system/Memory/Running Programs and stop all or whatever you want.

You can use the Task Manager program, but there are risks in doing this (see other threads on shutting down the Phone app which isn't named in the task manager list) and there are 3rd party apps which shut stuff down - search the threads.

One of the best things (IMHO) is Check Notifications

Hi, just a simple request. I just posted my first ROM using the DevDB feature, and it's great overall, but I was disappointed to find that the attachment limit is 256kb for images. This is not big enough for a screenshot on a 1280x800 Android device using the default settings, and it would be very helpful if this could be increased (maybe to 1MB because there are many 1080P+ devices now).

Hi...

It is said that Android 4.4 is optimized to work (again) with 512MB of RAM...

Anybody knows if 4.4 is being ported as a Motorola Xoom custom rom?

4.2 is a bit slow in my xoom, my only hope is that 4.4 fixes that, or I will be force to return to 4.0.4 or 4.1, or replace my tablet by a Nexus (and I think that my xoom deserves some extra life, it's just 2 years old!!!).

Thanks.

PS: Reviewing the development subforum I can only see about 4.3, I'm worried that our xoom was abandoned and that my only option would be switching to a Nexus :(

Its being worked on. It involves repartioning your Xoom and they have a 4.3 running snappy on the new partitions also. Check around the boards :) a lot of very good reading, research and development still going on for the Xoom. Only way I'm parting with my stingray is if it dies or I do. :) . and by the way I'm running 4.2.2 right now on mine with larger partitions and its fast and stable.

After a quick look to that link, It seems they're working with Android 4.3... do you mean that's the last version we'll ever get, or maybe after 4.3 they'll go for 4.4? :?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtTeabag:
There still working on it. But now there experimenting because once they got over the partition hurdle now they have some serious kernel issues to work on among other things. So as of yet there isnt a 4.4 running on a Xoom yet.

I am not a specialist but ART is Android Run Time which is a new virtual machine attempt to replace Dalvik. The main difference with ART is that app are compile during installation instead of use. I can't say exactly if it is very quicker on the Xoom but I activate it and it works perfectly.

Why don't you give it a shot? It's more valid than just asking, no offense. 'Faster' is adjective and AFAIK all adjectives are subjective.

I never installed a custom rom before so the processes doesn't seem that easy to me (especially if I have to undo everything in the end)... so I am asking for the subjective opinion of those who tried it before I do anything.

Lemme give you one from my subjectivity. It definitely bring a difference in the matter of speed since it is noticeable yet i still have force close in some apps running in the background. Not a big fuss for me, maybe just annoying for some time. For the Chrome experience, i encounter some lag but i dont think it comes from the rom. I have felt the lag since it lost the side swipe to the next/previous tab. However, since the rom has the built in Chrome, i finally had a chance to try it after a long time.

Android 4.4 Kitkat and the Xoom,

I saw an item on Liliputing that mentions that XDA has new ROM that allow you to put 4.4 Kitkat on your Xoom. I have read the BigPart article on this site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 but to my mostly ust a plain tablet user eyes I find that I need some additoinal information before I attempt any of this. I have not done any customizations with this tablet. So, while a more experienced user may find the ten steps to repartition and then apply the appropriate 4.4 ROM to be easy to me they are not.

So, is there or could there be a guide that breaks the steps down for un experienced users? I do not know how to flash or for that matter steps 3 through nine are nicely written but, gee how do I do any of that? What I am lookng for is a set of instrucitons for a newbie.

If there are already a set of newbie instructions on how to repartion and use the 4.4 ROM then please point me to it.

I have the Xoom WIFI.

Thank you in advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2014:
I would also like this. The instructions say what you should do but it doesn't say how to do it. E.g. it says "Reboot into recovery", but it doesn't say how to do this.

I guess I could find how to do each step by searching the forums, but this would take a lot more time and I could make a mistake and brick my Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2014:
From some screenshots I see that the buttons at the bottom (home, back etc) of several of the ROMs here are placed in the center instead of the left side. Why is that? It is much more convenient for a 10" tablet to have the buttons on the side.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
People learn more and know their device better when they hover around the forum instead of asking and find the shortcut, again no offense. But finding a quick way is not a crime. If you want to go to recovery just turn on or reboot your Xoom and about 2-3 seconds in the Motorola logo, press volume down button and then there is an option menu to go to recovery and press volume up.

If i may tell you something, the fear of bricking my device was always there loooong time ago when i had my first android device and got acquintance with rooting, modding, and whatsoever. It's normal and natural I think. However, i also realize that if only I had found my way by myself since the beginning, i could have the it-is-not-that-hard feeling far earlier.

It is a feature of jellybean 4.2.2 and above if im not mistaken. I agree with you though. Google should give the option to put them on the side instead of center considering the way people hold a tablet. But there are mods and tweak to have that
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2014:
