Well, I have a bit of bad news to report on the Nillkin, this morning I noticed I have four very small hairline scratches on it :( I have only had it on for a few days, and NOTHING even remotely abrasive has touched the screen, just a screen cleaning cloth, I am going to contact Amazon (they fulfilled the order) and see what they will do, for something that is advertised to be as strong as steel and 9H it sure didn't measure up. I mean, they're not terribly noticeable, and it's not the end of the world, though considering what it costs and what it's advertised to be, its not really acceptable, and if it's done this after just a few days I wonder what will happen over a few weeks or months. Maybe I should just go with this one, and if it scratches it won't cost 20 bucks to replace-

http://www.amazon.com/MobilePioneer...708&sr=1-4&keywords=htc+one+m8+tempered+glass

Their customer service sounds excellent, and the protector has good reviews, also, it sounds like it's beveled at the edges like the Nillkin.

Edit-I contacted Amazon this morning about getting a replacement, I'll post up their reply when I get one.
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
Well, Amazon got back to me, they are refunding the full $18.88 to my Credit Card, I just need to send the bad one back within 30 days. Evidently they can't do a replacement because while they did fulfill the order, it is sold by a third party (Nikay,Ship from USA by FBA). So, now I need to decide whether to get another one, or go with another brand, maybe I'll just get the one I listed in my previous post.

Edit-I went ahead and ordered that one, it has good reviews, customer service is rated as top notch and it's priced right. It looks as good as the Nillkin, and it's almost 10 bucks cheaper, it also has the beveled edges like the Nillkin, I will report back tomorrow when I get it. I know one thing, some of these companies are charging WAY too much for these things.

Has anyone tried the i-Blason? It's supposed to be only .2mm thick but is 8H rated

[One (M8) Accessories] Michealtbh:
Got my Nillkin today. Applied the screen protector perfectly and I'm very happy with it. Messed up the camera lens protectors though (easily done as they're tiny and have no instructions as to which side is which) so if anyone knows of any cheap screen protectors that come with camera lens protectors let me know
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Not saying I don't believe you, but I am somewhat surprised it had scratches. I've had mine on awhile now and I work on the railways, outside, phone in PPE pockets and I've not a single blemish.

Are you positive you received a genuine product!?

Glad you got a refund though. Fair play to Amazon.
[One (M8) Accessories] californiarailroader:
As far as I can tell, it's a genuine product. I am surprised it scratched so soon, but maybe it was defective from the get go. I totally agree on Amazon, that is why they get a ton of business from me, they treat me right every time, and often go above the call of duty to make sure I'm taken care of.

I ordered the iloome 9h for my phone, I had the flex glass on my m7, we shall see
[One (M8) Accessories] edwardlanti:
I ordered the Skinomi Tempered Glass from Amazon and got it yesterday. I installed and love it. Is much better compared to the Nilkin. Is thinner and gets less smudges on the screen.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
HI!

I'm so badly dissappointed about my Qtek S200, that I rescued my JAM and sent the S200 back to it's shipping box.

I'm a bit surprised to see at this forum so "little" resentment with such a frustrating machine (at least to me), so I've decided to open a thread to resume the complains.

Just a few salt grains to begin with, please, add yours.....

1- S l o o o o w w w w ..... booting. It takes almost as much time as my fully loaded XP desktop.

2.- And slowwww overall processing. It may be related to some programs "optimized" for Xcale, but even the MS apps are slow.... and buggy.

3.- The killing bug: Notes inside contacts, ARE LIMITED IN SIZE, without notice, MS decides how much of your precious info can be.... discarded.

No info about this one in MS site. I synced with 2 PC´s, so I was able to recover my long notes in most contacts. This should be a NO-GO for all users.

4.- TomTom? Never mind, you will arrive to your destination while TT5 is still loading..... if ever.

5.- Scrolling down for Mr. Zun in a 3000 contact list? Again, don't hold your breath.

6.- BT Sync? Out of luck again, The S200 found most BT laptops "not to provide Active Sync services", where my JAm has no problem at all (Widcomm drives on the laptops......)

This and other messages have been written while my S200 made it last sync with my PC, 45 MINUTES! on a USB.2

7.- Did I mention that phone Caller ID pictures are ridiculous in size? Or that you can not access HISTORY calling via the D-pad as expected?.

Too may glitches for an expensive and promising machine. Better if my wife never find about how much did I "invest" in this thing.....

:cry:

"Back-to-up-grading" to my old JAM, will miss the integrated WIFI, hello again Sandisk SDIO...!

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tarponfly:
I have a qtek s200 and am quite happy with it, altought I overclocked it and did some reg tweaking, now it runs faster than two different peoples Jam's . I think most of your complaints are from WM5. not necissarily the s200. The OS is much slower (it seems than, wm 2003se)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] pen25:
no problems here with my jamin. syncs up fine bluetooth. dont see the need for the overly long contacts notes. pics caller id is fine size. slow? not at all. i dont find it slow. no slower then my hp2215
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
Can't comment on BT or long notes as I never need those, but as for speed, compared to some other device I got to use (not all of them phones and some with faster processors) it is definitely ok.

Yes WM5 is slow but if you upgrade to the latest AKU 2 ROM (I used the one on i-mate site as my device originally came as JAMIN) the speed improves. It shortened the boot up sequence as well.

Still my iPaq 1710 with the 200MHz processor runs a bit faster as it is WM2003. MS really blew it this time, but if you want the newer phones that are coming out, you just have to suffer.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
My S200 has been great so far... However...

My only complain is:

It does take forever to boot! It even fail to boot altoghether (stalls) and on two occasions, only a HR fixed it!

Speedwise has been ok...

Impressive battery life!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] slvrbllt:
Hello,

While some of the points listed by Looking Glass are acceptable, I still can't see the problem.

I mean: True! It takes ages to boot after a HR... but how many times in a day do you HR your devices ????

I have bought my Jamin one month ago, and after the very few days of experimenting and testing, I have NEVER hard reset it again.

As for the speed: again, it is slower than the Magician I owned before, but not that much!

I found out that divx playback without overclocking is almost impossible... would you really use your PDA for watching movies ? and if you did, would you really be happy with the battery life ? REALLY ?

Let's face it: Jamin is neither a multimedia nor a hi-spec device... is just a PDA with Phone extensions. And it does its job.

Sync with Outlook is perfect;

TomTom performs much better than the Symbian version (installed on my N70) and it takes 6 seconds on my device to start.

But you would never waste 6 seconds before starting your trip, would you?

Performance and Battery duration never walk together. That's the compromise that HTC guys had to deal with.

My 2 cents.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cedrick:
Well, I won't write a long post but I'm satisfied with my Prophet upgraded with a Dopod rom (and modified ext rom with my needs).

I'm used to overlock it at 240 too.

Tomtom work perfectly, and doesn't take so much to load (6 sec too I guess)... it work fine with TCPMP too in background. And only sometime the whole thing lag a bit to return to the music after a phone call (with tomtom still running), maybe it's WA2 and WAD which slow the PPC a bit on that point...

BT sync without any problem, my exchange server is well configured and everything works fine for me.

Well, that's a great phone for me :wink:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Hoedje:
I think my M600 is much better than M500. The M500 (magician) was like a beta, which wouldn't do anything the way it should. The M600 (prophet) feels like, wow, a useable product. Yes, it has a few deficiencies, but it is by far better than the M500. No more resets, no need to always use the stylus, faster (with newest Dopod ROM), integrated wifi, working bluetooth activesync etc. etc.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
I'm happy too but I must admit I miss the call history being activated by the dpad.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Rayan:
It takes ages to boot alright, but Hard Reset is much quicker than a simple SOFT RESET... That's where the problem is and Soft Resets are needed quite often. I soft reset at least twice a week or so... I heard from people that soft reset on a daily basis!!! What a nightmare!

On the other hand, I watch divx movies with TCPMP without overclocking and it works just great!... Of course it depends directly on how you encode your movies in the first place.

Best regards,

Rayan
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
I'm glad to see we all have points of view about the prophet.

As for one: Overclocking? Tweaking? I mean, W95 was clearly better than Win 3.o, W98 was over W95, and 2000 over all of them, then W XP sat the new standar.... but I'd never seen so much missing and downgraded when moving to a new OS/Hardware!

I overclocked my S200, some improuvment, but not really "shiny".

It may be about WM5, I partly agree, but there are OMAP machines running at higher clock setting out of the box. Why not use them?

And I also admit that moving from slower machines (HP namely) result in a much better perception of the Prophet performance. I used (actually I'm using again now) an i-mate JAM, and my S200 compares so badly overall....

:roll:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
No pun intended, but, You really manage to "identify" your caller by such a small "icon" picture? I really envy your eyesight!

I don't have a 2215 to compare, so you are indeed right about it, but the Prophet is supossed to be the current "top of the line" in its class (I have used a Universal too, they don't compare.....) and it don't fit my expectations. Maybe this is the point.... I expected too much...

Un paso atrás... ¡Ni para tomar impulso!. Fidel Castro.

A backwards step..., Not even to take impulse!

No politics here, just my feeling about some comments on "suffering" to get the most of a new machine. So, so....

:wink:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
I mean ages... just for a SR! and I have to do it several times a day.

I'm getting some cue from your post. Maybe the Spanish ROM is to blame somehow?

And for Rayan, my complain is not about A SINGLE PROBLEM, I can live with some of them, I SIMPLY can NOT stand with ALL OF THEM simultaneously. Maybe WM SP2 will fix it, maybe HTC will set higher clock speeds, maybe SW writers will code specifically for OMAP PDA's...maybe.

But in the meantime I will gladly set my "overclocked-twisted-S200" apart and be productive with my JAM.

Believe me, I love tweaking, I'm the biggest fan of Buzz Lightyear, but reliability is something I can not compromise.

:?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
About TT5 I'm talking MINUTES.... not seconds....unfortunatelly.

My point is maybe related to my personal use. lots of contacts, heavy phone/contacts/GPS use, no multimedia, no resident APPs....

The JAM fitted the spec quite well, while still not being perfect. My point is about the many open ends MS/HTC left in this machine.

I've used PDA's and phone/PDA combos for years, and never an "upgrade" turned me so angry.

Thanks for your 2 cents :wink:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Looking Glass:
End of the issue

If anyone has followed this thread, this is just to comment that I finally tracked down the problems: an inmature combination of ROM and chipset versions.

Spanish vendors come to market with a poor Qtek 2.09 ROM version on the G3 chipset. That leads to such a poor implementation that all the S200 speed problems are highlighted.

I passed my machine on to a "less demanding" friend, loosing some "hundred" bucks on the deal, just to get a month later another S200 from my phone company.

That time I got a G4 and 2.15 IPL/SPL ROM combo, that really makes the S200 a NEW machine to my eyes.

Really late, since the p3300 and the p3600 are already out there.
[General Topics] sizemoreg:
Hey Folks

I don't have enough permission accessibility to post this anywhere else in this forum, so hopefully the forum gurus will allow it, or move it to the proper spot.

I found a fairly nice rom for the Life View.. It's probably already been posted, but just for the sake of Devs having access to it. Here you go.

I know it shows Yonip 4 in the splash screen.I installed the rom and it's running great. The only drawbacks I see right now, is the camera won't adjust to the full 12 mp, and I haven't been able to get teh video to pause when i look away (I wear glasses, so that may be affecting it)

I found this along with a stock rom at:

Goolge Gerard marshal on google plus

the rom installs via CWM, so do a factory wipe with a cache, and dalvick wipe. and ALWAYS...back up your current rom before flashing

Great phone. I've had mine for about 3 months now, and love the phone. with the rom, it's like having a note 3 without having to pay all the extra money for it. love the air gesture feature.
[General Topics] Odiakan:
Blu Life View Rom

I to tried the Yonip 4 Rom and had mixed results. I have recently switched over to a MIUI Rom for the Blu Life View and have had no issues that I know of except I will get the Sim Lock screen when I turn the phone on for the day. I have also gotten this screen using different Roms for the BLV so I am not sure what it is but I get around it by entering 12345678 and it goes away. I cannot disable it in the system menu as it shows that it is not enabled. Thankfully there finally seems to be some love given to the Blu Life View phone and I believe with the right Rom it can be a great alternative to the pricey Note 3.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] minionhunter:
So gumdrop and poetic have come out with silicone cases for the 12.2

I just broke down and got my 12.2 900 from amazon since they dropped the price by $50 (starting Saturday this started just on the black version down a few $ then to $25 and finally to $50 off today and then they applied it to the white so both are $50 off - glad I was waffling). I thought about the VZW one since they had $200 off this month with the contract, and I like the fast charging and slightly quicker processor, but the likely lack of updates and likely fewer mods and no 64gb model made it a no go (that $35 activation fee blows too - so, sorry VZW you could have made some money...).

So I really wanted Gumdrop to come out with a bounce skin for it, but they said lets make a more expensive hideaway model with the terrible slippery/spongy silicone. This will be out on April 15th. I might consider it then, but this company is not making me happy not having replied to a single request for information I have sent since early February.

Poetic has two skin for the 12.2, the GraphGrip and the Turtle. The GraphGrip is out now and is a thinner skin for the 12.2, pretty cheap too. I got this for immediate use. They also have the Turtle which is similar to the BounceSkin in that it is a substantial silicone skin with lots of cushioning. This will be out April 15th too. What makes me hesitate with the Turtle is the weight, 12 oz.!!! This adds 3/4 of a pound to the device. For comparison my wife's bounce skin weighs about 4 oz. My thinking is that 12 oz. is too much weight to add to the tablet. Also both are only available in black.

So just wanted to update everyone on the silicone skins for the 12.2
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] KestrelX:
I have the graph grip. It is HEAVY. Adds a lot of weight. Collects dust and dog fur. Otherwise it is nice. Certainly feels like some decent protection, but i went back to the cheapo case I got off amazon.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] minionhunter:
Yeah, shipping weight on the GraphGrip says 5 oz.

I wish they could understand gumdrop which hollows out the silicone creating "air pockets" which seem to provide a bit more protection while dropping the weight significantly. I'm glad it feels like good protection, I was worried it would feel cheap.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] hamlettime:
The GumDrop cases always looked bulky to me, so Im glad to hear they don't weigh much. However, I like the Poetic case's design better.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] minionhunter:
I like the gumdrop bounce skin case the best, but they only have it for the ipad. I really like the bulk to it, it feels right to me. They hollow out the silicone on the inside to make it cushion more and really drop the weight.

The poetic skin, graphgrip (thin one) is OK. The silicone gets a little tacky after use, and I like that. The weight is not bad.

Cons:

They scent it, I don't like this

It only just curves around the edge and does not extend over the buttons or sides of the glass. I would prefer they go to the edge, cover the home button and entirely cover the capacitive buttons but have thinned out the place where you could cut them out if you want them, I will disable mine this weekend when I root.

I don't think it will cushion the device were it to fall, it just give a bit of a grip.

The big skin I don't have, but it seems like it would be heavy (12 oz. is almost half what the device wieghs, too much for a skin), I bet it is because they don't hollow it out like gumdrop.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] marygladys:
I bought the Poetic Turtle Case and sure it does protect the tablet but it is heavily scented and it is just noxious! I am soaking it in hot soapy water and drying it outside in the hopes that the stench dissapates. Too bad for the case! I will be buying a Gum drop just for this reason. Also, the Poetic case is tacky....very sticky, unlike a Gumdrop.

**** So, it's been overnight and the scent is still there after bleaching and soaking the thing and putting it out all night to air out. Why did they scent the thing? Why don't they put that in the description???? It is just such a nasty smell!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] minionhunter:
Is there any chance you can weigh the turtle case?

The graph grip had the Jasmine scent too but it is fading now to next to nothing after about a month of use. I don't know why they scent it pure silicone rubber has no scent. It might be a mold lubricating agent they use.

I would suggest not using bleach. Try dish soap like palmolive first (high SDS content) then if that does not work or if you want to skip it use febreeze. I prefer fragrance free, but any will work. Why febreeze? Because they use cyclodextrans to De odorize. These molecules trap scent or smelly molecules inside them and actually remove them. Try spraying it on your hand when they smell fishy or worse and you can't get rid of the smell with soap. Febreeze will work like a charm. I suspect in this case it will help significantly but it won't totally work since the scent will be dissolved in the silicone rubber. It will just take a bit of time to totally diffuse out and be gone. Febreeze will be your best bet. Just rinse it off when you are done, the cyclodextrans will just wash away and carry the scent molecules with them.

Do you mean this one: http://www.gumdropcases.com/device/...away-case-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-note-12.html

I am also considering to buy it. It looks like the Ottobox case I bought for the Note 2. I dropped a few times by accident. No problem. This gumdropcase seems to be the best to protect our very expensive device against damage from drop. Any comment on it? With the case, how difficult it is to handle the device in both landscape and portrait mode? Can you do thumb-typing easily as if the case were not there?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] hajime_android:
Hello, could users please post their experience on the Gumdrop case? The company told me that it includes a screen protector built into the case. I don't need to buy a separate protector. Wonder how good the screen protector and the case are. Is the screen protector a fingerprint maganet? I am using a screen protector from Samsung. It is a finger print magnet. Thanks

I'd love to know if there's a dock option too. My HTC Evo 4G LTE has gotten me spoiled with a simple drop in dock. Would love to have a similar dock for this phone.

God damn that's expensive, hope it drops in price.

Anyone know if this dock is case friendly? Was the M7 car dock case friendly? It looks like the phone has to be naked.

[One (M8) Accessories] num1wr82:
Nope when it slides in it is never case friendly:(
[One (M8) Accessories] UBDevoid:
Actually, that's not entirely true.

For my m7 I used an EZO cradle/dock that came with a plate which fit inside the dock. When the plate is removed it allows for a case to be used on the phone.

It actually worked quite well for a variety of my cases.
