Anyone have any suggestions for a good kickstand case, I would like something that stands both vertical and horizontal view. I do not care about branding, ebay brandless is OK by me (and cheaper). Preferably hybrid.

I am liking this one so far, but I can't find a US vendor for the color I like (lime).

What kickstand cases do you like/have?

QUESTION REVISED 4/29/14:

What is the best kickstand case under 10 bucks that I can cannibalize to remove the kickstand (to then epoxy it to my favorite S5 non-kick case)?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ex-28:
I used to try to find and use kickstand cases , but 2 yrs ago I cam across the flygrip which was perfect for me as I got tired of searching all the time for a case , now I an purchas any case I find and attach the flygrip directly to it , have a holder on my device to I never drop it and also a kickstand in both directions.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I haven't seen a decent case with a durable kickstand that is stable in both horizontal and vertical positions since the S3 was released (Qmadix case).

So, for my S4 I just found the coolest case and then cut a hole on the back and DIY'd my favorite kickstand (Qmadix) into it.

Unfortunately, that company no longer makes the kickstand case for any phones.

But a nice alternative is to get a stick-on kickstand.

http://www.mouseglider.com/pro1445718.html

Put it on any case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
I had never seen those before. Thanks! Definitely an option.

I am a bit wary of the girth of the item and how it might dig into my leg, or my jeans while the phone is in pocket.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:

I had this for the S3, the hinge got brittle and cracked. Just FYI.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
This was a contender, but I am gun shy on hard cases. I go to the beach frequently, and sometime end up with a little sand in my pockets. A hard case will rub sand into your phone. If even the tiniest amount gets under, your phone will have massive surface damage. Also, not the greatest corner protection for drops.

I REALLY like the kickstand.

Otterbox knock-off under $20 from eBay (iskyphone)

Thanks for the heads-up. In fact I never opened that case and it has gone back.

For ~$18 including shipping I was able to order an Otterbox knock off from iskyphone on eBay (since removed but they claim it will be re-listed). Camo/orange, case is identical in the way it all goes together, and the belt clip doubles as the kickstand. It's not waterproof but the phone is so that's a wash imho. The case includes a built-in screen protector which I'm not a fan of. It's not the cleanest/clearest plastic but with the brightness of the phone you can't tell any difference (again, imho). Pressing around the edges can be tricky (aka pressing the 'a' key for example), but I suppose the screen needs protecting also.

All in all I'm happy with it and also not having spent an additional $42. Perhaps the official OB is better, but probably not two thirds better.

have a peek at the youtube videos on the flygrip , there very slim and sturdy i just got my flygrip gravity new style then the original , and just love it , i keep my phone in my jean pockets a lot to , but not skintight geans , just normal , and can never feel it. if you give it a try i almost cirtian you will never go back.

also can be removed with no damage to back of phone or case as it uses 3m adhesive double sided tape to attach .

Kinda $$, but IMO, well worth it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
It looks like an awesome product, but I have never even spent that much on a case, let alone a kickstand. $30 is pretty steep. I wonder if they ever go on sale.

I have been thinking about this, and until a less sucky kickstand case becomes available, I have decided to revise the question:

What is the best kickstand case under 10 bucks that I can cannibalize to remove the kickstand (to then epoxy it to my favorite S5 non-kick case)?

Provisions:

1. All I need is the kickstand, it can be for any phone on the market. 10 year old phones even.

2. Must be able to stand vertical, and horizonal.

3. Cheap.

4. Preferably black.

Another way to phrase it might be...What is the best vertical kickstand case you have ever owned?

One vote from CZ Eddie on the q-madix case.

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I ended up going with a Note 3. And I'm going to do the same DIY mod again because it worked so well last time. But this time, I'm going to take my time and make it have a NICER looking cutout. But here's my DIY thread if you want to check out how I did it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488355

This time, I'm going to cut out the hole smaller than it needs to be. And then use a file to gently file the hole out to the correct dimensions. This should make it look more "stock" 'ish.

I recommend the Galaxy S3 Qmadix Metallix kickstand case for sourcing the kickstand part from. You can find it for $10 shipped if you look around.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Btw, in the meantime I did use the stick-on kickstand. It works GREAT, even on my Note 3.

The only problem is it creates a bulge on the back of the case that makes it so the phone doesn't sit flat in my car and home docks. And when opened, the hole under the kickstand is just a bit too small for my normal sized fingers to go through, unlike the Qmadix kickstand which my fingers fit inside the loop great.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
I think I may have found a reasonable facsimile for your Qmadix case.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
The case is not very attractive, but if it's well built, then that is a good looking kickstand. I'm very interested to know how well that kickstand works!

Be weary though. All the cheaper kickstand cases I've bought have had plastic hinges. Which all wore out pretty quickly and would even fall out randomly after they wore out.

The Qmadix kickstand has metal pin hinges and lasts a long time.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Here's the S3 Qmadix kickstand case for $10 shipped.

Not sure if it's a valid website or not?

I ordered from them like four days ago and haven't gotten any shipping/order confirmations yet.

Select the "red" colored case to get a black kickstand.

I have this kickstand case. The kickstand works well in both orientations. Here's a black and gray one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
I have this case as well, in a grey and orange, and I really want to like it. The rubber they use is SO very very soft that it does not offer much protection, it wiggles like jelly and can easily be rubbed right off the side of the phone with your finger, so not much protection. Also, the kickstand is super duper flimsy, tiny plastic arms that will break if you look at them the wrong way. If you have the black rubber version, I would like to hear how it compares. This is the one I have:

http://r.ebay.com/rbhJ4e

And I will gladly sell it at a discounted price.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
Let me know how it went with this vendor.

Also, I emailed the Qmadix people requesting that they consider manufacturing a stand-alone kickstand that can be attached to any case or phone via tape, like the kick-it or the flygrip. Since they spend the time designing such a good kickstand, why not let it live on.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] adrockr:
These just hit ebay, and I am considering one. They have a very similar looking mechanism to the Qmadix cases, and they are made for the S5.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...STAND+COVER+SNAP+ON+HARD+RUGGED+CASE&_sacat=0

I can't say I'm crazy about the colors. I'm leaning toward yellow.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
The Qmadix I got from the above seller had a kickstand that isn't as good as the S3 kickstand. Did not like it at all.

But I did find an S3 Qmadix for $6 shipped:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008L5MV6W/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AU4AX6VDIZOSX

Just got it in the mail this week.

That kickstand mechanism looks similar to the Qmadix. For $9 I wouldn't expect much but that is throwaway money. Could be worth a try. :good:

Currently running 4.4.2. stock with ART enabled. This combo suits me well in terms of fluidity and everything works great. Now I would like to have an option on disabling 2 cores to extend battery life. is there an app to do so on stock kernel and is it even possible to do it on some custom kernel? If there's no option to do it on stock id like recommendation for custom kernel that works on stock rom and would enable me to do this via some app.

And id like that ART can stay enabled.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDig:
Buy a dual core phone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkrai:
try a custom kernel like ak or hellscore

after that disable 2 cores using trickster mod/kernel specific app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yannick1606:
Yes, Darkrai is right. Test a custom Kernel like AK, Matr1x, Hells core, Franco or Faux.

You can easily flash the zip via recovery. After that, you should download a Kernel App like Trickster Mod or Kernel Tweaker from the Play Store to customize the whole kernel, gpu, cpu, govenors, schedulers (2wake) etc. And also the cores of the cpu. But you need not to stop 2 cores, you only have to underclock the cpu, so you have all 4 cores but they, for example stop at 1ghz, which save battery at all :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user822:
I don't really think it helps your battery life (a lot).

More cores at a lower frequency are more power efficient than less cores that have to work at a higher frequency to get the same job done.

And hotplug is there for a good reason, if cores can sleep they will.

Or does anyone have personal experience where it really helped a lot?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashed_Potatoes:
I don't understand why people complain about battery life. They say 1 day is not enough, well it is considering their usage.

You can easily pull of 2-3 days without playing games. The problem is that everyone spends like 2-5 hours looking at their phones every day!

On topic: If you want to have performance and fluidity with 2 cores, you will save 0% battery because cores will work on higher frequencies. Just try not to using your phone 24/7
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Short answer: No.

Long answer: No. But you can undervolt them (All 4 of them at the same time).

Try Franco kernel ... it by default supports dual core mode ... moreover u can play with hotplug values according to need
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEBANDIT420:
You can using a custom kernel, lots include the ability to but the best implementation is faux's eco mode which is found in Faux's kernel and Ak kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
I have tried semaphore kernel with 2 cores only online.

No big difference with other custom kernels where I was using all 4 normally. And the worse about 2 cores is the lag at many applications.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan609:
Great, its the kind of discussion i hoped to start. My logic was that n4 might have enough cpu power for surfing and casual usage with 2 cores only. So if i disable another 2 i might extend battery life.

Its great some of you tried and show me that my logic was flawed :)

Now undervolting. I suppose that i cant fiddle with stock kernel and undervolt cpu? Any recomendations for custom kernel. id like it to be as similar as stock, with undervolting feature enabled.

And are there any real gains in undervolting?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Many custom kernels support uv like Franco, hell God etc.

Uving is offering a little cooler cpu, which means more time till thermal throttling to start.

Let's say it helps system in general, but not something to notice in big way.

Unleashed by my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxious119:
Undervolting brings much more than turning off cores. As a side effect your phone won't heat as quickly under heavy load.

What will save you a lot of power while having the phone awake is screen brightness. So you should look for a clever auto brightness solution or, like me, use a mod that let's you adjust brightness by swiping the status bar. I keep my screen dimmed to the low at all times and only make it brighter temporarily if I am outside and the sunlight blinds.

Hi

Total newbie here, and i have read the other posts and tried to fathom this out for myself, but am a tad lost.

I have a p600 uk version.

1. I understand you need to install the stock recovery file using Odin after you have installed the cfauto root file.

2. What is the stock recovery file?

3. The version i downloaded appears to be stockrecoverytarmj4: but the firmware version my note is on is vMJ6 (Uk version) - does that mean i will in effect be downgrading my note from v6 to v4?

4. Also - if i wanted to update my stock firmware to the latest version (i beleive its ML1) do i just ignore the process to install the MJ4.tar and use a tar file for ML1.

5. If 4 is correct -where does one find the stock recovery for ML1 that is compatible with p600 (Uk edition)

I hope i dont upset anyone with the stupidity of my questions, but im not the most techy of individuals and i dont want to brick a £500 device!

thanks for the help in advance

Hi everyone,

Looking for an external battery to the phone I9505 Galaxy S4. I found two that I liked, but I'm trying to figure out if I can use them for galaxy i9505.

It's about 2 batteries, which look identical (as shown below), but differ in capacity and power input:

Capacity: 3200mAh
Input: DC 5V / 800mAh
Output: DC 5V / 800mAh
Charging Time: 3H
Cycle Life: 500 times

Capacity: 4500mAh
Input: DC5V / 500mA
Output: DC5V / 800mA
Charging Time: 8 hours
Cycle Life: 500 times

If any input power may cause problems?

The second thing.. I found on many pages that these batteries are designed for models I9500 - the point is.. if you take a percentage of these models, eg on ebay only 1/10 was an indication of the model I9505. Is it safe to use both batteries?

The third issue is whether it is true that the longer (slower) the battery was charged, the greater lifetime retains ?

I appreciate any advice.

Best regards

You aren't going to notice a difference in life cycles at those charging rates. Batteries have shorter life cycles when charged at very high amperage, like in cars.

I have a SGH-I337M that I rooted with CF-AutoRoot and installed a few ROMs. I went back to stock for a bit and then installed a few more ROMS.

Now when I download my 4.4.2 firmware off Sammobile and install it with Odin, everything works, except my mobile data. My signal is good, I can send and recieve texts and make calls, but no internet. I tried setting my APN settings, selecting my carrier, restarting my phone, taking battery off and SIM, and still nothing. Not even Touchwiz custom ROMS work. it seems to be a TW issue.
