[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] noobmaster:
I got my case yesterday after waiting almost 4 weeks. I use the proximity sensor to wake up my screen and I've noticed that with most apps that the proximity sensor fails, but there are couple apps that works with the proximity sensor even with the obex case on. Right now, I'm using the obex case with no problems at all including the proximity sensor working just fine.

Touch sensitivity is also very good. This is with using a glass screen protector (feather) along with the built in screen protector. If fits perfectly and doesn't interfere at all with the sensitivity. I was going to take off the screen protector because I've heard that it will interfere with the sensitivity, but I have a thin glass one and it's working the same as before the case was on. I think it can work with thick glass (over .4mm) screen protector as well, but problem is I don't think it will fit within the case since it's already a tight fit with even with a thin one.

Anyway, a very good case IMHO. Only con is the horrible backorder status (you'll probably have to wait a while for Seidio to ship it) and the price is still overpriced no matter how good it is.

Thanks for the review. I am still in the air on water proof case.... I just need something water resistant for swim and fishing season. I dont plan on taking it in the water... but be close to it with a phone is always bad.

I did find this in my search.... makes me wonder.

Reading through their reviews:

Since i live in so-cal... winter and rain is hardly an issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] noobmaster:
If waterproof is a necessity, I would plunge for the obex. I did the water test before I put my phone in the case and it's pretty flawless. Some water will seep in through the port area, but the actual inside is very dry.

I can't really say for sure for other brands as this is my first waterproof case, but I would be cautious of other brands especially nameless ones. But like you said, if it's just to cover from light water or splashes, I would say go for a case that just covers the whole phone (including ports). Just make sure not to drop it in water. ;)]

Also, I know that I said the price is a con, but in the end, that's just subjective so take that with a grain of salt lol.

As requested by the OP, here are some pictures. Please forgive me for the incredibly crappy quality as I took these pictures with a 4 year old Xperia device. The camera is not too great on it unfortunately.:(

Hopefully someone does it a proper review and provides better pictures than I do. These pictures really don't give justice to how sleek the actual case is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I'm glad someone is having better luck than I did with the Obex case. For $30 I'm completely happy with the RedPepper case, I've tested it again for 20 minutes (instead of 10) underwater and it's still dry inside.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
How deep in the water did you go? Will it just float? What about a toilet fall?

Any practical test? Not just a glass of water or bowl.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
The last time I tested it I was ice fishing on Monday (with it 70 degrees out, in shorts and a t-shirt), I tied some extra line to the lanyard, weighted it and left it in 3 feet of water for 20 minutes total. This was just with paper towel in the case. I'll check tonight and see if it floats with the phone in it. I'm not willing to drop my case in the toilet, sorry, I'd want a new case afterwards.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
You did enough to convince me. Im totally sold... now to just wait for the case to hit 30-50 bucks. $80 is too large. I'll get a cheaper one till then.

As for a toilet fall... i'm looking an impact before water submersion is all. Most of the time it hits the inner bowl first. BUT who text will standing over the toilet... i would never admit to that one. Same thing with the swimming pool... slip, side of the pool... bounces into water.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
You'll be happy with the RedPepper case. I mostly got mine for fishing and swimming. If it gets wet it will only be for a few seconds anyway but I wanted to test it to see how waterproof it actually is when left under water.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nirvana252:
Seidio case is getting sent back. 3 ft of water about a minute water inside..... Such a bummer... all seals check and left it in a bowl of water for 15 minutes when i first got it no issues maybe 3 feet was to much for it....

[Asus Transformer TF700] epiceins:
Last september I did what most people do when they want more out of their device, I rooted and soon unlocked to put on custom roms. Everything worked fine with the occasional bootloop that was easy to fix. One day, my tablet started to open and shut apps by its self and scroll from the right to the left on the screen or on whatever I had open at the time. In a desperation, and partially the tablet clicking wipe all, I lost all hope of getting my tablet back until today. I finally got it to charge and got chromi-x on it from a micro sd card, but the tablet still presses things randomly by it's self and I can't figure out what is causing this. Any help would be appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I had that issue with both a Palm Pre phone and the my TF700T. In both cases the problem was h/w and required repair/replacement of the digitizer by the vendor.
[Asus Transformer TF700] epiceins:
Really? How much would that cost sense I never had a warranty and even if I did. I voided it within the month of buying it. I don't want to spend to much sense I am more than happy to just keep on using my iPad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Mine was in warranty but based on other postings I've seen, it would most likely minimally be $150 (plus mailing and insurance if desired). You'd have to contact Asus but until they have actually looked at it they probably couldn't cost it accurately.

I had to get a replacement galaxy s3 through Asurion because the power button broke on my phone. I have a nandroid backup of my old phone however the new replacement phone has the locked bootloader so I guess I can't install CWM? How can I restore my nandroid backup to the new phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darkknight1812:
Assuming you have 4.3 installed on your new phone, try safestrap in the development section but I think it only works for 4.3 tw roms. If you still have your old phone, either replace your power switch or find someone to do it for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mik0r:
I tried to install TWRP on my old phone to do a backup from that but it looks like it bricked my phone. It won't even light up when I connect it to the charger now....

I was able to use safestrap and install the ROM I was using and I have a GOBackup backup of my apps and data. However it looks like it didn't backup any of the application data, specifically Google Authenticator. So now it looks like I'm screwed and locked out half my accounts.. Is there any way to unpack the tar from the CWM backup to retrieve app settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mik0r:
Nevermind, I figured out how to extract the tar and pulled the Authenticator database out and restored it on the new phone. Setting up and customizing everything else from scratch is going to be a PITA though.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DizturbedOne:
I had done the CF-Autoroot for my wifes (already second) S4 when it was still on the 4.2.2 back in late September, simply for AdAway, Titanium Backup, and the HotSpot mod. Well, after much time had passed she didn't know it was pertinent, and decided to uninstall Superuser because she didn't know what it was and it was causing her to have "a whole extra page in her app drawer". Needless to say, Superuser was broken, and she no longer has root. I tried just installing the original SU to no avail. I haven't messed with it any further. It's been so long since I rooted it, and it has been a crazy 6 months. I'm a bit fuzzy on the do's and don't's, so I did nothing more in fear of doing something that will trip KNOX or similar.

I've been reading, but can't seem to find a definitive answer.

First Issue - I would like to get her phone back to being 100% stock, non-rooted, no flags tripped or anything. This is the second incident she's had, and I've decided that the few advantages root gives her isn't worth bricking a phone or ruining the warranty and not being able to get a replacement. She drops them frequently, and complains about the Otterbox, so she frequently takes it off... :mad:

Second Issue - I have an identical setup - SPH-L720 handset running the stock recovery and stock 4.2.2 ROM, but it is still rooted. Is there a way to bypass KNOX completely to get a custom recovery on there? It seems like every thread I come across is rather unresolved. Ideally I would like to remove KNOX completely, flash to a custom recovery, and install a de-bloated ROM of some sort (Play Edition Clone/SlimBean, etc). What is the easiest and safest way to go about this, with an option to flash back to full stock still being available?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
If both phones are on 4.2.2 which is MDC,MDL,or MF9 then you do NOT have Knox bootlaoder so you are fine to Odin MF9 tar or what ever version of those three that you have. And bmake sure to back up anything important.

i don't have the device and i don't know if its an issue with the source code of the rom or if the download zip is broken

but re-wipe and just install the rom. you can always flash gapps anytime after you flash a rom, after installing just the rom see if you can get into the settings/wifi settings at all and if the settings force closes than you either have a bad zip or the rom source code needs to be fixed

remember to always check md5

I have really only used moto phones in the past so bear with me.

1) Will I be able to ROM the M8?

2) What is the difficulty in ROMing the phone compared to a Moto w/ safestrap?

3) Is there an app similar to moto hotspot or can HTC phones only tether? Can it be unlocked?

4) How will the 3 above questions compare / contrast to an S5?

Thanks!

-Justin
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
You can't ROM the M8 yet as the boot loader isn't unlocked.

Don't really understand #3 but there is a Verizon hotspot app. And by unlocked do you mean to use on other carriers?

Can't really answer #4 because the S5 isn't out yet
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
You can Rom the Moto Phones with locked bootloaders, just with ROMs that are derived from the factory one, no CM etc. So the M8 will be similar in this regard? On another forum someone was telling me the selling point over the S5 was that the bootloader will be unlocked. So I guess this probably requires a GPE phone then, and isn't much of a selling point for me since I cant use a GPE phone on verizon...

By unlocked I mean free hotspot, the moto phones come with a motorolla hotspot which is quite easy to hack / unlock for use (the hotspot does not work otherwise without paying for it).

Some people do have their hands on the S5, but I guess I can assume it would be locked down similar to the S4. Are Samsung phones locked down any differently than the HTC Phones or are all companies locking the bootloader on verizon phones now?

Thanks,

Justin.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
1) Eventually

2) Since we can't ROM it yet, we don't know

3) There's a thread about getting the built in tethering to work, look

4) How the hell would we know? The S5 isn't even out yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
Tethering is not the same as hotspot though... So is there a tethering app or a hotspot app?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Wi-Fi tethering is the same as a hotspot...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Yes, there's a hotspot app. The hotspot app isn't anything unique to any given manufacturer. It's a part of the Android OS.

The question is, can you use it or not without paying. If you don't have unlimited data it shouldn't cost you anything. If you have unlimited data you have to pay as of right now. There isn't any hack to disable the Verizon check at this time. Won't be until we get access to the system partition.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
Interesting, again coming from motorolla:

Teathering = single device can connect.

Wifi hotspot = multiple devices can connect.

But that's the way it has been in the past with my moto phones so please forgive me since I guess this has changed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
Is the hotspot app called Mobile hotspot?

On my motorolla with root I can use dSQLiteManager and flip a bit in the com.motorolla.android.providers.settings DB and enable the free hotspot. If I lose this ability with HTC M8 I guess I will have to look into another motorolla phone. Or at least I will have to hold off for now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
It's the same app as Moto has. It's an Android thing. And, yes, it's called Mobile Hotspot. All phones I've had up until now were Motos. It's the same thing.

However, like I said before, there is no hack for it yet. One of the first things I did when we got root was check for the entitlement check thing using sqlite and that entry isn't there anymore. From what I can find, it sounds like the newer Moto phones don't have it either. I did come across a hack for the M7 which involves editing an xml file but haven't tried it. My guess is you'd have to reboot to get it to take effect and given the way root works on this phone, the change wouldn't stick after you rebooted the phone.

USB tethering works fine though. However, if the hotspot is a must for you, you better wait or else plan on paying for it, at least for a while.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Justintoxicated:
I mostly use it with my Android Nook HD+, so I don't think USB tether would work, but that's not worth $30 a month to simply use a larger screen. I would assume if there is no hack for the M7 their probably will not be for the M8 then. Thanks for everyones help.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Well, that might or might not help. If the Nook can't see an adhoc network, it's no good in this case. I have a Xoom that wouldn't see one when it was stock. A lot of devices require infrastructure mode which the hotspot is. The Nook may or may not support adhoc. But like I said, some devices require it (infrastructure). I have a laptop that doesn't work with adhoc mode. So, it's not just related to mobile devices.
