If its weight is light then it's a fake one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sebekkg:
I bought also copy. I compared it with original that came with N7100 (germany).

Original usb cable has shorter micro usb part, also has in-printed some text along side the cable, and its more rubbery and flexible.

here are pictures
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zackoj:
Where did you buy charger and cable?

Ebay?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DarkRoniN88:
How can you tell for sure?

I too believe the cheap Ebay ones are fake, but how can we tell for sure?

One of the photographed chargers is made in Vietnam and the other in China so direct comparison is basically impossible because different assembly lines would produce slight visual differences. Furthermore original Samsung chargers are not very reliable, for example my original charger (came with my S3) blew up after just 6 months of use.

I've bought this charger from Ebay for 3.5$ and of course I don't thinks it's original (although the seller claims it is),

but for this price I decided to allow him to enjoy the doubt.

When I get it I will test its current output and compare it to the photos in this post.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sebekkg:
Dude it says China AND Vietnam on same charger. Original charger says Vietnam OR China.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DarkRoniN88:
Oh missed that. LOL
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DarkRoniN88:
I received my charger today. It looks like a combination between the chargers in the earlier posts.

The QR code is scan-able but gives a link to samsung.com and not the S/N of the charger.

The USB port is mounted at a slight angle.

Overall it works fine, charges at 2A.

This is the like for the item on ebay:

Iv'e attached photos.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pr0metheus2:
Can you measure the weight of original and fake one?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sebekkg:
I trow away fake one. you simply can find original charging head with notches on two wall plugs (4. picture), but for cable you can feel that is more rubbery, and not stiff.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pr0metheus2:
I know, I have also original one - or at least I think I have :) . But they can also improve their copying skills and can imitate almost similar design nowadays. But as for weight, weight they won't fake. That's why it's important to know the weight of original one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sebekkg:
type model number of charger on google, and type fake , there is some measurements of it. Also there are some sellers on aliexpress who selling original one, and there is picture of charging head on scale.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pr0metheus2:
I have original charger, model ETA-U90EWE - weight is 34g.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pr0metheus2:
For everyone who is in doubt if his charger is genuine or fake, have a look at these pictures. Readily recognizable difference.

See the difference between genuine and fake charger - Full-jacket capacitor next to the usb connector from genuine charger. Diode from fake charger at same position.

[IMG="Genuine and Fake Samsung charger"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3023941&stc=1&d=1416434193[/IMG]

On genuine charger, you can easily see full-jacket capacitor - proof for original charger.

Another original/fake.

Fake:

5,6V at idle - no device connected

250mA-1000mA charging current via battery monitor.

Original:

Came with samsung s4, had to replace due to broken ac plug pins (be careful, they easily brake)

5,1V at idle

Two first pictures are the fake one, last two are the original.

And if anybody wonders - you can't open it (original and fake) without damaging it - it's glued, best bet is to use a carpenter knife

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tp_88:
Ok... I'm confused.

I just ordered 3 chargers from a company that sells Samsung chargers in bulk.

- Printing seems legit, all 3 have the little "rings" on the wall socket-plugs

- 1 weighs 34g, Made in Vietnam, has the two silver capacitors visible through the USB-port - X

- 1 weighs 32g, Made in China, has something orangy showing where the silver capacitor is supposed to be - Y

- 1 weighs 32g, Made in China, has what looks like a wall/divider where the capacitors should be - Z

Does that mean that only the first charger ("X") is real, and the two other fake? Or are there variations? I'll edit this post and add photos shortly. I would really appreciate some input before opening them up or whatever.

EDIT: I just realized, the two chargers that doesn't have the silver capacitors visible through the USB port (on the top of the charger) both seem to have them at the other end of the USB-port, towards to wall plug. I can't seem to get it on photo, the capacitors get blown out, but they look very similar to the ones on the top on those that are deemed real here. Are there different designs?

X:

Y:

Z:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tp_88:
Apparently the silver capacitors aren't a guarantee that the charger is real anyway: http://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Samsung ETA-U90EWE UK.html
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tp_88:
Decided to crack one open. Not that it really helped me... I know next to nothing about electrical design, but it seems to be a fairly complex design. Can someone offer some insight into whether this is fake or real?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pr0metheus2:
We are talking about 2A charger here, if yours (black version) is not 2Amps, hardware may differ.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RoboSK:
Hello, is this Samsung ETA-U90EWE real OR fake USB charger ?

anybody having problems with the playback speed of .mp3 and .wav files? for some reason, on my sister's MDA, the playback speed of the audio files speeds up (like chipmunk speed).

I did a soft reset and that fixed the problem temporarily. But today, her phone rang and the ring tone was playing at chipmunk speed. I tried playing the audio files in Windows Media Player and GSPlayer and the speed was still fast in both programs.

any ideas or suggestions?

From Amazon, I read some comments that the screen cracked easily. Is that true?

I also read that although one could use pencil for writing and drawing, it does scratch the screen easily. For the stylus, is it better to use the one from Sony or those Jot that has a circular disc from Adonit?

Hey I'm interested in who is rocking his Nexus 7 naked...

My is in a cheap eBay case and without a screen protector

Cheers...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rkanwar:
I am not using a case at all. I use mine on the Asus dock so can't use a case. However during the day when I'm actively using my n7 I use the official nexus 7 case. I picked up both the n7 dock and case for £23 Inc p&p from asus's website. Dont know if its still there though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tatazeuz:
I don't use a case, but I'll never allow any of my devices be without an screen protector.

No screen is scratch proof (Unless is of diamond, of course).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Martin-Doc:
Then again, most of the screen protectors affect the screen viewing angles, color saturation etc. - make your device less enjoyable. Regarding the fact that most of tech becomes obsolete very very fast, I prefer not to sacrifice my enjoyment over the possibility of a minor scratch (Have 4 touch screen devices, no screen protectors and never had a scratch - it is also about the way you treat your device).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tatazeuz:
Yeah, that's true. But some screen protectors offer an advantage; reflection cancelation. That way, I can use the screen in the sun perfectly. I treat my tech very carefully (My last phone had over 1 year, and wasn't even decolorated), but even dust is capable of doing scratches, so I won't risk it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rkanwar:
All my devices have screen protectors. I'm actually in love with mediadevil screen protectors. They provide very good protection and no reflection of glare too. Perfect cut and size.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] CalvinH:
I do use screen protector on my phone, but not on my Nexus7 / TF101. And after 1,5 / 3,5 years of heavy daily use both screens are perfect. Gorilla glass seems to be doing something after all....

Regards.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sgt. meow:
Naked all the way.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] espionage724:
Naked here as well. I don't like cases that generally cover-up how the actual device looks.

The closest things to protection I've ever had on my Nexus devices was the official bumper on the N4, and the official flap on the Nexus 10 (wasn't the biggest fan of it though).

If there was a bumper for the Nexus 7 (2012), i'd get it (as long as it didn't interfere with me putting it in my pocket). Preferably a black one.

Hello to everyone,

I've been trying to root this phone for about 2 hours without any success. It isn't my phone, I have rooted (and every other stuff) HTC, but process is really different on Arc S.

My main goal is just to install Xperia Ultimate HD 5.0.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920207, with stock kernel and everything, I just want to install the ROM.

I've downloaded DoomLoRD v4 tool to root it, but I can't figure out what's the problem, I think it's something with ADB drivers.

So PLEASE, can anyone tell me which tools do I must have to root that phone? Where should I install that ADB drivers (and how exactly), do I have to have flashtool or something else, or DoomLoRD v4 tool is enough?

Thanks 1000 times for the one who replies me, I just want to root that phone, and now what I have to do and have installed to succeed.

For ADB drivers, many people have problem with these drivers. In your situation, run eroot and connect your phone, if ADB drivers are installed correctly then your phone will be recognized by eroot and you can root it.

i tried powering it on recovery mode but still nothing

how do i unbrick it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Vogel:
Start by charging the phone, than remove and insert back the battery and try to enter download mode.

If you succeeded than flash stock 4.3 ROM with Odin and once the phone is up and running try to flash CM again.

If you can't enter download mode, than try searching if running ADB from your computer can help.

Hi.

As a Note 3 users I've been thinking of getting the LTE version of the Note 10.1 2014 for some time now, but waited for a good deal. Next week MediaMarkt here in the Netherlands is having their anual 21% of everything. Here the Lte version costs about 720 euro. Now I've been thinking of the surface pro which is in the 800+ euro category. Especially since its faster, runs full desktop apps. On the other hand its thick and battery doesnt last long.

I also have a series 7 chronos laptop.

What do you guys recommend?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Had the same problem as you currently got. I went for the Note 10.1.14 because I got the Note 3 and both are the perfect couple. However, I missing being able to run my desktop apps whilst on the road so now I have decided im going to purchase the SP2 & keep the note which will give me the best of both worlds.

The problem you got is what ever one you choose you will always find a reason why you should have chosen the other one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Surface (and all their ilk) are pretty crappy entertainment devices compared to Android (and iOS). It also weighs 2 pounds without its paraphernalia. It's also as big as a house.

I have a 13" laptop which I tote around when I'm going to be on the road for a while or if I know I'm going to be doing a lot of productivity work like document creation; especially Excel and PPT. You can't do heavy productivity work on anything less than a 13" display IMHO (the Surface Pro 2 is 10.6") The N10.1-14's powerful enough that I can leave my laptop home quite a bit of the time and use RDP and faux-Office to meet my light productivity needs (editing and reviewing). It's also a fantastic entertainment and media device. Mine's 3G so it's always connected which is invaluable when traveling. The Surface(s) to me aren't great as laptop replacements and their entertainment capabilities are at best acceptable. I don't consider going in to the non-Modern interface and accessing entertainment via native IE a good media experience or a replacement for the simplicity of multiple dedicated media apps in Android. I have IE on my laptop. Maybe someday Windows tablets will evolve so that they're better all-round tablets and less biased toward the utilization of (captive) MS products like Office. Until then I'm fine with my two device (laptop/Android tablet) set-up and each fulfill their missions fine (at least for me).

P.S. - Samsung calling their high end tablets "Pro" and loading them up with productivity s/w isn't going to change the fact Android's as bad at productivity as Windows tablets are at entertainment.

Just my opinion, people should buy what makes them happy. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] notebooko:
If you are going to be taking a lot of notes and pen offset bothers you then I would say go for the note. Every surface 2 pro that I've come across has had some offset on the stylus, and it gets pretty bad at the edges.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] davbran:
I pondered this for awhile. I've been on android since mytouch3g and have a couple hundred dollars tied into premium software. Since I can use team viewer to access my laptop from my android device, I don't need a Windows tablet.

I also own an iPad. I bought it to help troubleshoot clients who couldn't figure out how to get "the only device that requires no manual" on a network. That quote was by Black Eyed Peas, fyi. I only used my Apple slab for magazine reading now. My note 10.1 2014 is much more user friendly and again I don't have to buy all my apps again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Note10.1Dude:
Note

For a tablet I'd rather have android. I have a thinkpad for when I want portable windows - and I'd much rather run Windows 7 than 8 on a tablet if I am trying to write. The Note is nice for reviewing and .pdf mark-up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] macrostr:
Me, as a developer who is living on "Microsoft World" I definetly prefere surface pro 2 because it is i5 intel laptop without a keyboard not tablet :)

Having note 3 and note 10.1 at the same time is like, eating two sizes of hamburgers on the same meal which both tastes same. If you are fanatic about hamburgers it's ok but for extending posibilities, I would recommend surface pro 2 or maybe just surface 2 or lumia 2520.

As a s4 user, I just bought note 10.1 for everyday use (I could not buy surface or lumia because they are not on market at my region) and planning to exchange my s4 with a Windows mobile now.

It is my opinion for nonuniformity...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] anthropoidape:
Here's what I've arrived at, as a sort of a hiearchy of usage when mobile.

1. When I am just going to the shops etc - Note 2, phone only

2. When I expect to be doing little work if any but want to browse etc - Note 10.1-2014

3. When I expect to do some work but not a lot - Note 10.1-2014

4. When I expect to do a moderate amount of work - Note 10.1-2014 plus MS Wedge KB and Mouse

5. When I expect to do a ton of work - HP Envy 14.

I have Andropen Office and various other Office substitutes on the Note 10.1-2014. I also have RDP to a virtual machine on my server at home. This gives me a full Windows experience when that is crucial, for example creating a clean new .docx document in "real" MS Word. RDP works really well on this tablet. It is like using a windows machine, but with some slowness as it's remote.

I have to tell you that the MS Wedge KB and mouse, plus the Note 10.1-2014, is a fricking awesome looking combo. They look like they were made to go together. It is such a fine looking set-up to have on a desk, and it is also very pleasant to use and incredibly portable.

I considered a Surface Pro 2 but it's too expensive, not portable enough, and not, for me, necessary. And it is a Windows 8 device, which basically makes it a steaming pile of cr@p no matter how you look at it. If I didn't also have an okay laptop maybe it would be a candidate. But honestly, the occasions when I will get out my laptop now are getting very infrequent. The 10.1 tablet is far nicer and just as practical 99% of the time.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blue13x:
Decided im going for the Note 10.1 2014. The Surface pro is superior, but its too large and battery life just isnt as good.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] blue13x:
On the other hand...the surface pro 2 is superior when it vomes to power and performance. basically full windows app. Its more for people that dont have a laptop. As a side device the note for me is better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Software Guy:
This question has been in my head for a few months now. My Asus Transformer Prime (3G) just isn't as good as it used to be. I did wipe it and it's better but still sluggish. I have had many Samsung phones, currently the S4 Google Edition so I like Samsung products. As a business owner and software developer the surface Pro makes sense but the batter ife and bulk just don't make sens to me. The biggest hurdle either way is getting one in 3G or 4G for my ATT plan. Fortunately I have enough time to decide because my current tablet is still working.

Edit - Or I suppose I could be the geek that I am and use my phone as a hot spot when I need to......
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] sgvnut:
It depends on the majority of how you are going to use it. The sp2 is more of a laptop replacement in a form of a tablet. It's not as comfortable to hold and easy to operate as an android tablet. If you just want to surf the Web on the couch and be able to entertain yourself on the go then get the note. If you are looking for a laptop replacement that you can do work on then the sp2 is a beast. It is actually a full functioning computer with windows. You can install any program on there that you can on your home

Pc. Few cons are the weight, thickness, and battery life. Also there aren't as many apps as Google play store. And using regular windows with your fingers is sometimes a hassle unless i connect a mouse because everything is small with the high resolution. I had the type cover keyboard but the mouse pad on there is too small. So lot of times I would just take out my phone and click on app instead of dealing with that.

I ended up returning the sp2 because I noticed I wasn't using it that much. Also because of the size and weight it was not that comfortable using it for simple things that I can comfortably do on my note 3. I exchanged the sp2 for a note 10.1 and I'm using the note 10.1 much more than I was the sp2. I just like to browse the Web on the couch and simple stuff. If I need to use a Pc I just hop on my desktop with much bigger monitor. The thing that bugs me most about the note 10.1 is the lag that everyone talks about. I'm still contemplating on whether I should return this and try something else. Either that or wait for note pro 12.2. Kind of disappointed that it's going to have the same specs though.

So I think it just depends on what, where and how you'll be using the tablet. I've read the sp2 is very useful for people that work in the IT industry. But if your just like me and use the tablet for mostly entertainment then note 10.1 would be a better choice.

Hope this helps and good luck on your decision. They are both good devices with different pros and cons.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Guys im going to purchase the SP2 and was wonder how it runs to the version with only 2GB of ram? I don't really need the 128GB drive version but if it runs better on 4GB of ram then I guess its worth spending that extra money

Thanks
