Anyone try any wood cases for the Note 3.

Before I get the responses of (oh this is crap, or why do you want a wooden case or something else, just remember, we all like different things)

So, I'd appreciate any and all "constructive" feedback on these cases or anything someone else might have found in terms of wood cases for the Note 3.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Haven't tried these ones, but my partner has a wood case on her S3 and it is really nice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I had a wood case for my S3 as well, and can't for the life of me remember where I got it, might have picked it up one weekend in Chinatown when I was out and about in the City (I live in Brooklyn, end up going to the City occasionally on weekends), so if you can remember where your partner got hers, I'd appreciate the tip.

I like the feel of the wood and the one I had for my S3 wasn't slick at all when you held it. It weathered a lot over time and so it made it worth having.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes I got one of those they it was outstanding. Only problem was, I prefer my phone naked with the OEM wireless charging back.

Not the exact one you posted a link to, but I love this one. That rose finish is awesome, might have to pick one up. Got this one off Amazon for 17.37 after shipping. Was sent from China, got it in a week.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 2khc:
These look awesome. I live in HK but I haven't seen any around! I've ended up with the neo hybrid
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
There is a video review of a widen case floating around YouTube somewhere. Fyi
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I bought this one, will post pictures/review once I get it, since it's coming from China, said about 2 weeks, they only take paypal for payment.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
I put my Ultra down on my console where I happened to have two loose staples lying from a package I'd opened earlier.

When I picked it up, the staples were magnetically attached to the bottom right corner of the phone - around where the speaker is.

Has anyone else noticed the phone having magnetic properties?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stretchwookie:
Speakers have magnets in them. This phone is just thin enough and the staples just light enough that they stick. No biggie.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Fun fact (not really): Phones that support wireless charging uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects, so they have magnets under the back cover. Not a lot of people (Nexus 5 owners for example) are aware of this, so they get surprised when things "sticks" to the back.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
and obviously the magnetic dock... half way down the right hand side.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stretchwookie:
My dock is on the left... Defect?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
That is probably why [MENTION=4642591]hamdogg[/MENTION] has so many issues with his Ultra, he must have a knock-off
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It should be on the left side, so i guess Ham has a fake Ultra :p

Summary:

I wanted a wireless charger that's upright but I purchased my nexus wireless charger before any 3rd party options became available (the cheaper AirDock for example). I also don't have access to 3D printers, so I can't go that route. So I decided to go the frankenstein route, and this is what I came up with. This is a dead simple DIY project, but it turned out really nice, so I thought I'd share it.

Parts:

17mm to AMPs:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arkon-SP-SB...483?pt=GPS_Holders_Mounts&hash=item53eba42fdb

17mm ball mount:

http://www.amazon.com/ARKON-GN014-G...id=1390011213&sr=8-5&keywords=17mm+ball+mount

Optional Double Sided Tape:

http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Mounti...=1390011251&sr=8-4&keywords=double+sided+tape

I don't know if i've used up the stickiness of the nexus charger, but it wont stick on it's own. So I got some double sided tape and stuck them together that way.

I'm only using the magnets on the charger to keep the phone from sliding, and sadly, even extremely thin cases like diztronic interferes with the magnets too much.

There's a thread somewhere about the "thinest case" from China, and that one allows the magnets to work. I've also ordered some slickwraps skins, and I assume those would work as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hOrnizuka:
i'm working on a similar project. I just ordered a SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid & dBrand skin (similar to slickwrap). I'm planning to remove the clear back panel to make it into a true bumper case and then apply the skin to protect the back. =) Might try a thin case if spigen case failed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jrmiller:
what an awesome idea. thanks for the info man.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDj408:
Finally due to rough handling broke the screen ..

there is crack on the glass and touch is recognized sometimes and it isnt recognized sometimes so what do i need to replace ?

scrren ? digitizer ? lcd ? or all ?

and i need the shipping to india (International shippng is fine) so can anyone please add the links of eBay or any other site selling the parts

cheapest parts will be appriciated ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hanger84:
I'm not sure where to get a screen replacement that will ship to India, but a Google search turned up this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Screen-Digiti...86&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+screen+replacement

Also you will need whatever tools are listed in this guide: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+7+Display+Assembly+Replacement/9945

Most devices have the digitizer, front glass, and the screen as one piece. Sometimes you can just replace the glass and not need to replace anything else, but it varies. Either way, you're most likely gonna need a heat gun. lots of patience, and a dust free environment to do it in....otherwise you will end up like a buddy of mine and having to take everything back apart to remove the cat hair that got between the glass and the screen.

Anyways, hope that helps.

Dear technically gifted people,

I have recently purchased the Wizard (i-mate k-jam) and have the following three problems:

1. Sometimes the phone does not receive calls and they go directly to voicemail, even though I am in an area where all mobiles work and the phone shows full reception.

2. If reset the device or turn on/off flight mode, the device has no problem connecting to GPRS/EDGE (provider MTS/Russia), but after some time it drops the connection and cannot reconnect until next reset.

3. Flight mode switch does not always work. Have to turn it on 2-3 times before phone responds and turns the phone back on.

If someone would be kind enough to help me resolve them I would greatly appreciate it. I recently upgraded to the new ROM (the one posted on the clubimate site in March) but it did not seem to help the issue.

Regards,

egrib
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrisredmayne:
i have the same problem! Have to turn it off and then back on again, very annoying!

Do you think turning the voicemail off will sort it out? I dont really have any need for it anyway
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hondophred:
could be SIM related.

My wizard showed the same instability. I needed to reboot every night otherwise i would get dropped calls (straight to voice mail) no GRPS access, and the charging wouldn't work. I changed roms etc. What finally did the trick for me is I got my service provider (FIDO in canada) to change my SIM from the 2001 card i had to a current one.

It seems to have done the trick.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
From my own experience and from seeing all the posts on this forum it seems like this device is full of bugs and is just not worth the time and money.

As there a similar device out there that actually works and people have no problem using?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
did you have the same problem with previous handsets in the same area? such problem are quite often caused by network issues not mobile and you should try reporting it to your operator's customer care. however, if such problem persist only on wizard and in various areas, then it's probably problem with mobile...

you mean [G] icon on top of screen? well, this is a feature of this model, that after some time it detaches from GPRS, so [G] icon disappears. however if you'll try to connect to internet through GPRS, it will attach again and connect, so i wouldn't be so much concerned about it.

i've had the same problem, but i noticed that it just needs a bit of time for phone to switch on again. so when you're trying to switch off flight mode, tap it once and wait a bit. it should turn on after a while. at least it works this way with me.. ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
eva_d,

I think you are entirely correct on point 3 - flight mode switch takes some time.

As for the other points, I don't think they are as easily resolved. When the phone does not receive phone calls (and calls go straight to voicemail) it does not seem to be a carrier problem since 1. i never had this problem with the same card in a different mobile and 2. once it stops receiving calls it continues to do so until a reset, regardless of where I am located.

The GPRS issue - i know what you are referring to with regards to the [G] icon (I have it all the time) but once i receive or make a phone call, I cannot reconnect to the internet until i reset the device. Also not a carrier problem. This seems to be an issue with all MTS users in Russia. So far unresolved.

Anyone other ideas anyone? Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
It's well known issue (GPRS on MTS Moscow; is your mts is in Moscow?). It was fixed in new ROM, that just was released week ago. Russian version is available.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] araje:
I have a kindoff similar problem. Just got my Qtek yesterday and I tried latching to cingular. What happens is when I switch on the phone, it takes forever to latch to the network. I see the

Y.

Y..

Y... going on for ever. In my old phone, just switch it on and there it connects to cingular. I tried doing the manual/automatic network selection and everything but it just takes too much of time to latch on. It finally latches (thank god !) but still its annoying. But once connected, itnever drops off or goes to voice mail. Looks like it has a starting problem :)

Also, reception wise, it shows less bars then my old phone when I am sitting on the same chair :?

Did anybody face the same problem, or am I the blessed one. Any tweaks or something that can be done ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jonliu:
I also have problems sometimes connecting to edge/gprs, I think it might have something to do with handshaking accross towers.

I noticed that this happens when I enable TOMTOMTRAFFIC, it will get the traffic the first time I start tomtom, then 15 minutes into driving when it trys to get a traffic update it will not connect to gprs, it will keep dialing and eventually disconnect. Then after a rest, it will connect again but again after about 15 minutes of driving it has the same problem. Pretty annoying.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
Vishny,

I am indeed on Moscow MTS. You mention a new ROM that fixes this - are you referring to the ROM that came out early this year (2.16.9.1) ? If so, I did the upgrade (english version) and it did not seem to help. If there is something more recent that fixes the MTS problem, please let me know where I can download it.

Also, are you having and problems with receiving calls? Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
It's 2.18 ROM with new 2.20.11 radio rom. I'm having no problems with calls or GPRS. Now my device is perfect, I love it. Just try it, you can find it here:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/HTC Wizard/ROMS/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
Thanks vishny - if that will indeed solve the problem.

Few questions, are there any other places to get the files (i am having problems logging into the one you provided).

Also, is this only for a Russian OS or do they have the same for english? Thanks

Great! Thanx a lot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fmraven:
And another question. Would QTEK ROM work for K-Jam, or should I wait for official K-Jam ROM update?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
it will work, but you need to unlock your device first with Lokiwiz or aWizard. search forums, there are lots of posts regarding this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
Thanks for all the help.

One question to Vishny and others - i see the new 2.18 rom update in Russian - does anyone have any idea where I can get it in english?

I assume the GPRS/calls problem lies in the Radio ROM - so another question may be how can i keep my english ROM but update my Radio ROM to one that would work with MTS in Russia?

Many thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
There is no english 2.18 rom, because 2.18 solves specific problem with one of operators in Moscow. Some guys make hack, they flash 2.16 i-mate or 2.17 qtek english roms, then flash 2.20.11 "russian" radio rom and then install additional RadioDriver_GPRSStall_Wizard_Mar24.CAB they extract from extrom of 2.18 russian rom.

Look at this:

vishny,

i installed the new radio rom onto the latest english i-mate rom and thw wizard finally worked with MTS in Russia without any problems. For that I thank you.

Unfortunately now for some reason once in a while the screen goes dark (as if the device is sleeping, the light is still blinking) and the only thing I can do is reset the device. Any ideas?

Thanks

p.s. why does this thing always have problems and as soon as i solve one, another arises :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
Have you installed RadioDriver_GPRSStall_Wizard_Mar24.CAB?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
yeah i did, installed both the new radio rom and the driver. the device seems to run ok except for the problem decribed above. for example this morning i woke up and the device could not exit sleep mode until i reset it. very strange.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
I guess it's not enough, it's just a hack, I'm sorry. I use Russian ROM and have no such troubles.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pdmath:
I am not sure if the issue of the screen power turning off and having to reboot is similar to the occasional problem I have.

My screen will go black once in a while and will not come on. I can hold the Wizard screen at an angle to an external light source so that I can see the screen display enough to go to the settings menu. When I navigated to the backlight settings, I noticed that the power saving setting was slid all the way to the left which made the screen black. I used the stylus to move it up a couple of notches and it started working properly. So you may want to see if that is a possible issue.

I have no idea why it occasionally does this, but mine does and just changing the display power saving settings seems to keep it working for a period of time. But it eventually seems to slip back to the lowest power saving setting on its own once in a while.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dmon:
I seem to be one of few people outside of Russia with the gprs problem (stops working and you have to reset the device or enable/disable flight mode to get it working again). However I installed the new swedish Rom and it solved my problem as well, so it does not seem to be anything special with the russian rom, the english one should work too it seems.

Qtek 9100 + 1 Gb mSd
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
Unfortunately english rom doesn't work with MTS in Moscow, it was checked and prooved. Qtek released special 2.18 russian rom to fix that trouble, it's specified on www.myqtek.com updates page, I saw this myself.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] egrib:
vishny - are you implying that the new MTS radio rom i installed will not successfully work with my english rom?

im still having the problems of device freezing up in sleep mode and not always catching reception until flight mode is turned on/off again. thinking maybe i should completely switch to russian version - will it allow me to type in english in MMS and emails?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
Who knows? May be it will, noone guarantees. Nobody knows what and how exactly they fixed. May be there are some another cabs or registry settings to be installed. Also it's possible some installed programs cause such trouble...

I do it in both languages. Including writing in this forum :).

The bookmark Samsung manual in stock browser is not editable. Here are the instructions to make any bookmark editable, then you can change and delete as normal. Please note may not work on KitKat version..

1. You need root access.

2. Open root explorer to location .

/data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrower/app-sbrowers/Default/Bookmarks

This may vary with different versions of android thus search "bookmark" under /data/data

3. Open file with Text editor .. Then change all .... "editable": "0", to "editable": "1",

Save file and exit all is done..

4. Just delete as usual now..

Please click thanks if it works for you.. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mickey2foot:
Hello,

Just checking that you are rooted at the moment I cannot check as I do not have a phone on KitKat. the location might have been changed due to policy changes in KitKat try looking in the stock browser directory as i have heard all files in kitkat must be in this location. Kitkat does not allow data to be placed in other directories. This policy can change through rooting however this is a non root app so again look in app directory..

I hope this helps..
