Tried that. Tried both volume buttons, up, down, and all around lol.

HTC also told me to try holding the volume down then power for about 5 secs, then continue to only hold the volume button. Didn't work either.

Kinda crazy... has to be a mobo issue or something because the phone was still flawless.

Hello,

My wife broke the screen on her phone and the replacement came with 4.3 pre-loaded on the phone. I got it rooted but I really don't want to use the Verizon tethering app. We have always used the Treve-mod Wifi Tether. Don't use custom roms so don't care about the locked bootloader. We just tether because we have unlimited data. How do you tether on ota 4.3 that is rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HerosTheLame:
Check out FoxFi in the Play Store. Sadly it is a paid app but I think it works well for what I need it for.

I am also open to suggestions as I like to play with apps and see if something is a better fit for my needs! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cheesiepoof:
I'm in the same boat. Note 2 with cracked screen came back from Samsung warranty repair with 4.3 OTA software and locked bootloader. Even with root, the best solution I've found is FoxFi, which is an $8 app. Can't speak to how stable it is, I've only used it for a few hours.

I definitely miss using Wifi Tether Treve Mod with 4.1.2. No way would I have taken the OTA, but cracked screens happen... Probably time to sell this thing. At least the Note 3 despite it's locked bootloader currently can be used with safestrap which allows for free tethering solutions / custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spc_hicks09:
Anyone have a way to do this WITHOUT an app? I have SQlite Editor if needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] youphone:
one of my Note 2 phones also came as a replacement from Verizon with 4.3 already on it..;

could you tell me how you managed to root it?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Madelynn28:
I used Kingo, Trev mod didn't work anymore so there is some tether widget hack that she uses to tether. If you need it let me know and I will go look at it on her phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Madelynn28:
This is what I used to get wifi tether going for my wife. I used the hotspot toggle widget. Just follow the directions....

(Info Pulled from here)

The App - Hotspot Toggle Widget

1. Open Settings> More Settings> Mobile Hotspot on your phone.

2. Select Mobile Hotspot but do not turn it on.

3. Tap on Configure and set your hotspot settings.

4. Now go to Google Play Store and download the Hotspot app: Hotspot Toggle Widget (Price: Free) (Developer: Fattin Hotspot Network)

5. The app will add a widget in your phone’s widget drawer. Add the widget to your homescreen.

6. Now turn the toggle widget on.

7. Press the Home button to cancel if you see any popup window.

8. Done!

Great reviews and thank you for taking the time & money to do this. I agree with you completely on the spigen neo hybrid review, tho it does look nice it has no grip and is more of a "for looks" type of case. Im rockin the ZL otterbox defender-lookalike case and it does a good enough job for me. I especially like the case since it provides for future modifications like extra room for microsd 2 sd card integration so you have your long lasting battery life, great protection and goliath like storage expansion :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
I think the neo would protect from a small drop from waist height or something like that. The case would definitely not survive fully intact though the phone may well do. Not game to try it.

The UAG does stand up to drops quite well. It saved my Note 2 a couple of times, not only saving the phone but also with minimal scuffing to the case itself.

Even though I'm happy with the UAG, I'm tempted to try a commuter on the basis of this review. A bit more grip and port covers is certainly a tempting proposition.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mexiking713:
I switch between UAG and Trident Cyclops. Both of them offer excellent protection ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mlin:
Thanks for the excellent review! I currently have a black Otterbox commuter and find the case to be nearly perfect in every aspect. I recently ordered a Spigen neo Hybrid in dante red just to change things up a bit and for a sleeker look.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] robpz16:
Great stuff here, thanks for the great review. I have the UAG and love it, but am looking for a protective case with a better feel. After reading this, I'm eyeballing the Commuter as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] PearsonDKA:
Def a great review. Been checking out the commuter and UAG cases and definitely leaning towards the commuter now. :D

Sent from the big ol' Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Haha I wish a review like this was posted before I went out and bought these cases myself. I have the Neo-Hyrbid, two UAGs (one is a replacement for the missing hole) and a Defender, in the exact same colors as reviewed. :p

I have to say that this is an great review and all of mattt33's review points are spot on. Of the three that I have, the Defender is my favorite for its protection, excellent grip and long-term holding comfort because of the soft outer shell. Comfort is very important to me because I do a good amount of gaming and media watching on my device. My only gripe about the Defender really has to do with the color choice. Anything other than black is going to show dirtiness after a while.

The Commuter does look great though, but I think I would miss the grip and soft-yet-solid feel of the Defender. I'd give it a try, but I'd never hear the end of it from my wife if she stumbled upon yet another case in the mail.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jdidtht:
Completely different cases to compare. I have the neo hybrid, and also the uag, and the slim armor. I'd have to say I Love all of them for different reasons. But I usually use the slim armor. It just feels nice looks nice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JazonX:
Guess where I landed right after ordering a Dante Red Spigen Neo Hybrid. !

Lol., It was merely a decision based on the looks. Didn't drop my Phone since the first day. So hope it will work out for me as i don't have an option to cancel or change the order.

Thanks for the review mate!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] conamundas:
Great review. I actually own all of the Neo Hybrid colors. I am usually good with not droppinhg my phones. I like the look of them and am not bothered by the grip.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sarcokiller:
I love Spigen Neo Hybrid but for me all cases in general makes the Note too big... Good review!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JazonX:
Extremely Happy!

Only the original samsung Micro USB 2.0 Cable will fit when the case is on. Opening for the USB port on SPIGEN is small, so 3.0 cables will be unusable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Garnerj013:
I love the look and feel of my Spigen Slim Armor case. It also protects fairly well from drops.

Details about Commuter

Wonderful review. After endless hours of research on cases, I thought I had narrowed my choices down to Trident AMS Kraken (since it had a kickstand as well) and the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx but this review completely changed my perspective. As such I am now highly considering the Otterbox Commuter. Although I prefer a kickstand, protection supersedes it. I just have a few questions for those who have used or have this case.

1) Are there any overall issues or concerns any of you that have or had the case?

2) Ease of access to the ports (i.e. being able to charge the phone?; being able to plug the 3.5mm earphone jacks in?)

3) Any concerns as far as rubber expanding (when phone heats up), not sitting tightly in place?

4) Any issues in conjunction with the use of a glass screen protector? I know the OP has one but the review was only for a week after, I'm concerned about longterm effect such as if its too tight bubbles may start to form.

5) The lip on the front side is much higher than the other cases. Does that affect the usability of the phone or cause any other problems?

Sorry for the numerous questions but finding the right case is imperative as I'll have this for 2 years.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Morningstar:
I have the Otterbox Defender, rather than the Commuter, but I believe they're similar enough for my answers to be helpful....

1) No overall issues or concerns from me.

2) I've had cases for other phones where the rubber flaps covering the ports were more of a nuisance than anything, and I ended up cutting them off. On this case though, they really don't get in the way, and they do wonders for keeping dirt and debris out. The cover over the charging port closes nice and tight, but is opened easily enough with one finger and some slight pressure (or a fingernail. It also opens far enough that the rubber isn't putting unnecessary pressure on the USB cable or the port when plugged in. The cover on the headphone jack also closes up good and tight, but is slightly more difficult to open, at least for me. Normal 3.5mm plugs fit in just fine, and as with the charging port cover, the rubber doesn't put any unnecessary or damaging stress on cables, when plugged in. I've only had an issue with one 3.5mm to RCA cable, that had a slightly wider rubber base than most, which required taking off the entire case to plug in, but I think that's due to it just being an old, cheap cable.

3) No problems with the rubber, even when left in the car in 100 degree plus Southwestern heat. It fits as snugly as it did when I bought it.

4) I use an iLoome 9h tempered glass screen protector. I cut the plastic one that is built into the Defender out with a razor, and a little over 6 months later, it still looks immaculate. No bubbles, peeling, or sliding. You honestly can't even tell there's a screen protector there, it's that nice. The added depth of the glass protector makes it a little harder to snap the 2 plastic halves of the case together, and I have accidentally broken 2 of the plastic tabs, but it still closes just fine without those 2, and to be frank, they were only broken due to carelessness on my part.

5) Don't quote me, but I think the lip on the Defender is slightly deeper than on the Commuter, and it hasn't caused me any problems. In fact, it does wonders for protecting the screen when placed face down. If you regularly use the Touchwiz feature that lets you take a screenshot by sliding the side of your hand across the screen, it makes doing so a little difficult in portrait orientation, but that's really just nitpicking.

Hope you find some of this helpful!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JDWX:
lol.... Read threads for a few days... Ordered a Spigen NEO (on spiffy looks), but after reading more threads, Friday, I ordered another Commuter. Which I've had on all my phones (since like the Blackberry days), as well as some Defenders.. I just wanted to spice it up, and the Note 3 is so nice looking I was trying not to wrap it in Otterskin... ;)

Eh well, I'll use the Spigen for dressing up, lol..

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ShadowLea:
I've got the Black version of the Commuter.

1) None

2) The flaps can be bend back fully without much issue, and they're solid enough not to tear whilst doing so. The plastic around the cutouts is about 2mm thick.

The official USB3 charger plug fits into the slot easily. There's about 2mm free space on the sides of the USB slot before the case starts. With the charging plug inserted, there's about 0.8mm free space between the plastic of the plug, and the plastic of the case on the sides, and 1mm at the top and bottom of the plug.

The headphone jack has 2.5mm around it, more than enough space for even a thick plug.

3) I've not noticed any reaction to heat in terms of expansion or contraction of the rubber. It's not that kind of rubber.

The only place it's a bit loose (you can bend it away-loose) is the front side with the volume rocker. But that may be my own doing as I can't stop playing with it. (I'm a bit OCD).

4) Don't have a glass one, I'm using the one that came with it as I currently can't afford a glass one.

5) It does on occassion get in the way a bit whilst swiping, particularly on the sides. As an upside, putting it face-down on the table is perfectly safe even on a rough, natural table. And it seals in all the light (which is great if you keep it on your nightstand!)

All in all, I'm happy with it :)

Oh, and removing/attaching it is easy, you can leave the thing in one piece and just pop it off at the top corners, and click it back in when you're done.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
The thing I don't like about the Commuter is that the back is very slippery and slides around easily when placed on it's back. I have a compartment under the radio in my car and cannot put the phone in there with the screen up. When I accelerate like I usually do the phone slides right out, I had to place a piece of rubber type material in there to keep it from coming out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brunoski75:
very nice i will buy one
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Spellable:
Great review man, I personally have the Neo hybrid case which has protected my phone from many falls leaving only a few scuff marks on the polycarbonate. Other than that the case has held up well for over 6 months.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Yeah, that's pretty much why I prefer the Defender over the Commuter. The difference in bulk is millimeters at best and you get much better grip and comfort. I game with my Note 3 for long periods and the soft outer shell doesn't dig into my skin like the UAG and Neo-Hybrid did. I can put my phone in all of my cars' gauge cluster recesses while using Google Maps and it doesn't go anywhere no matter how fast I accelerate. If I put my phone down on a level surface, it's staying there unless I hit it.

The things I don't like about the Defender are the price tag, the ugly front plastic protector (replacing with tempered glass is a must), and the fact that any color besides black will show dirt after some time. It's easy to clean with water and some mild soap, but cleaning regularly gets tiresome after a while.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
I heard the amazon UAG's don't have a mic hole.. Should I buy them off their website then?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
The mic hole has always been there, it was the hole for the temperature, humidity..etc) that was missing on the lower right side.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
So thats still missing on all of them? Hmmm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I think they have fixed it, just shoot them an email and ask. I just used a small drill bit to make a hole then heated up a slightly larger drill bit and passed it through the hole to leave it clean. If you do the drill bit technique be sure to pass the heated bit from the outside towards the inside so it leaves a clean hole. Keep in mind than I got mine when they first came out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Thinkfreshdell:
Im glad someone had the time to review these. Ive been very happy with the defender. Never have had a problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
Thanks, I emailed them but I heard they take forever to respond.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kalani91:
The UAG customer support member was actually nice and gave me a 5$ coupon code when I asked for one. I'm looking forward to receiving this case in the mail soon
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brandibran:
Same here... Not sure how many months but my neo-hybrid has survived plenty falls even ones with corner impact and it's so thin people think it's my phone an not a case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattt33:
I'd like to say that I appreciate all the thanks from those who have commented on the helpfulness of my review. I figured if I was interested enough in finding the right case for myself, others would also benefit from it.

Up to this day, my preferred everyday 'go to' case is the Commuter, and I do put it in the Defender here and there when I want to change up the feel (still gotta love the amazing grip the outer rubber offers on the Defender) to reintroduce the 'new case' feeling.

The Spigen Neo-Hybrid has been used much less than I had expected, but I justify keeping it for the occasions when I want the slimmest profile in a phone with a less plastic look - when wearing a suit/tux dressed more formally.

As for the UAG, I sadly have not found much use since the initial couple months of rotating my phone between the four cases. It's not a bad case per se, but considering the size is not much smaller than the Commuter, I prefer the extra protection the Commuter offers for an everyday case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] barkus:
I've always had the Otterbox Commuter for all of my Galaxy devices since the S3 and now that I'm getting the S5 some told me to take a look at the Spigen offerings. Got some hands on and wasn't quite a fan but "in-depth" reviews like yours help tremendously in my decision making process. I've ordered the Commuter and decided to just stick with what works. Many thanks for taking the time.

I have used the otterbox commuter before and the only disadvantage is the power key is really big and when you put it into your pocket it will restart the phone expecially with you sit. Other than that, we rugged case. Perfect for outdoor use.

Currently using the neo hybrid, lesser protection but reasonably sized.

Thank you.

I'm currently using the neo hybrid. Lots of positive commentary on its appearance from most people who see it. I do notice a lot of people acxidentally hitting the volume and power buttons when I hand them my phone, as they jut out a little with the case, but I dont have that problem.

Thanks for the thorough review op.

Well just received my neo hybrid in metal slate. What a beautiful case. Just got to get use to the slick back. Coming from the seidio surface it's quite a difference compared to the grip
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Well, decided to return this case. Looked awesome but It's too slick and difficult to maneuver one handed. Even when trying to pick up from table, the side trim doesn't help. It'll slip right off your fingertips. Back to seidio surface! Plus I sure missed the kickstand!
