I got my Spigen Tough Armor for the s5 on Tuesday, and it's by far my favorite case I've owned for any of my devices. Definitely prefer this to Lifeproof and Otterbox overall. You can find it on Amazon here.

It's slim, the buttons click easily, and the heart rate monitor and fingerprint reader work like a charm. Only issue is until you get used to it it is a bit difficult to get the charging cover open, but after a day or two of doing it it's pretty easy.

Says it's compatible with Spigen's glass screen protectors as well, I'll be getting one soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] willLEEum:
Thanks for the quick review and pictures!

Do you feel this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dark_Vortex:
According to the product page, the case adds approximately half a centimeter to every dimension. In the hand, it doesn't feel like your phone is any thicker due to the beveled edges.

I just received my Gunmetal Tough Armor case today & there's a good chance I'm going to like it more than the Otterbox I had on my previous phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] undergrad:
I hate the fact that you can see the plastic bezel on most of the new cases for the S5. That's what I'm trying to cover up with the case!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mossolb:
How secure do you feel holding it? I was very surprised that the case felt very slippery with the hard plastic shell. Debating returning it or trying to spray plastidip to give it some grip.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] benno4403:
Also ordered this case :) can't wait for it to arrive
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Nitefall:
just ordered an Electric blue one since thats the color phone i wanted but couldn't get. I originally bought a case from best buy which I'll keep till this one comes but I don't like the fact that it slides on from the top and bottom, those cases always F' up screen protectors...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diehardbattery:
how are you using the fingerprint sensor? which finger and position?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] michintom:
I wonder if it'll work with the wireless charging back cover....

For the ones who have the case, does the bottom plastic part (right below the home button) move around when using the fingerprint features? I have the spigen tpu case and the bottom part below the home button is too flexible.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
I have a tough armour and yes it is. It's TPU and a bit thin so does "flex" when you use the finger print reader.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dmanzo425:
Just got this case today. LOVE the case. I feels comfortable. and im sure if i dropped it, it'd protect it just fine. Only problem, if you have slight bigger fingers, the heart monitor can be a bit difficult to use. But i'd still recommend this case to anyone. A must have
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] acarmody2002:
I got the Slim Tough in electric blue, love it. I thought the Tough looked slippery on the back, so I got the Slim Tough. I do like the Slim Tough look more though.

It was tough trying the Spigen case as I have used the Case-Mate tough case for my last three phones and loved it, but no regrets now.

Also works well with the Spigen Glas.tr screen protector.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dmanzo425:
SO i thought the heart monitor was hard to reach, turns out i was doing it wrong. As long as you just place your finder the spot, it works just fine. So this case is a 5 out of 5
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Nolano386:
I was looking at this case and the Luvvitt Ultra Armor. Bought the ultra armor. Very happy with it for $13. Either looks like an awesome choice.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jumbeemann:
anyone have a comparison of the tough armor vs. slim armor?? I like both and not sure which one to get.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tempest64:
I have both of them and much prefer the tough armor.

Forgive me, but my slim armor is at home, so i can't offer pictures until later. I disliked the way the slim armor gripped the front of the phone around the edges of the screen. The left and right sides encroached on the face of the phone about a mm more than the top/bottom. This meant that the bit of metal around the edge only showed at the top/bottom. It drove me batty. I like the feel of the tough armor more as well.

I bought this case before the release haven't got it yet, Looks nice. I got the incipio tough armor case in store on release day, kept the order for the spigen case in case its any better, but it sure does look nicer.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] vorta251:
Got mine yesterday.

It's kind of nice yet I thing the power and sound button are now very hard to press.

Also it become complicated to open the usb cover (doable with a pen though)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bogdaryl:
Is this code for Amazon?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BSquaredB2:
I got the Spigen Tough Armor case because it looked great and seemed like great protection. I didn't realize that it turned my S5 into a brick-size cell phone. I feel like I'm back in the 80's using it! :( And forget about fitting it in your pocket and sitting down.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bogdaryl:
Wow got the Tough Armor case today and really like it. Don't know if they should call it the Box Case Killer like Spigens advertisement but it's still a pretty cool case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] linkinx64:
Very nice, mine is still in the mail :|

As the Title Says, im running the Latest 4.3 without any customization, rooted and im quite Pissed Off, because of the Multiple Memory this Phone is Using. I believe it Saved some Data File on the Internal Memory, and on SD Card the GL2SD it created a Data and OBB folder out of the Android Folder in sdcard1.

I've read some guide and i dunno what works and whats not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waldas4:
Hello,

I found similar thread, but last post was almost 2 years ago.

So, I am asking what are actual benefits of installing CM or AOSP rom compared to stock one?

The next thing, are there some major bugs in non-stock roms?

I am not asking which of rom is best or better than another, I just want to know about comparison and benefits.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Stock has the better side for battery but aosp/cm/aokp has no lag.

Go for a stock custom ROM like alliance ROM ect ect..

They have the look of aokp/cm but keep the great battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eenong89:
you can do a lot of customization on AOSP rom......

plus there is some nice new feature you can try out.....

CM is ok for daily use.....
[General Questions and Answers] stroh.ed:
I have a Nexus 4 that I just shattered last night. Screen is still visible but is unresponsive to touch. I'd like to be able to control it from my PC but I had ADB turned off before this happened. The buttons still work fine so I can get to the bootloader and recovery just fine. Device shows up on adb devices when in recovery and I can issue commands. I'm just not sure what to do from this point. I tried following this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47423916&postcount=5 but it didn't work. Doesn't seem like those commands work the same when in recovery.

I'd really appreciate some guidance. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

read the recovery rooting section here

NEVER!

So my answer would be, Uninstall super su and weak sauce then flash super su.zip from recovery for full root.

PROFIT.

If anyone else runs into this problem of no fastboot

Download flashify and flash the recovery image thru the app.

Then flash super.su thru your recovery.

Then have lunch =p

SUCCESS.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Karl:
just get fastboot you might need it down the road but yes you can use flashify or nandroid manager to flash recovery

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halmo20:
I have Fire TV going to Pioneer Receiver then on to TV via HDMI. When I try to watch Amazon or Netflix stuff, video starts for about a second or two then the video signal drops (sound is still there)... I tried MBC On demand app and it didn't happen...

Did anyone experience the same thing?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
Have you tried going directly into the TV and it still happens? I had a similar audio issue going into a receiver then out to a sound bar the audio would drop then come back. I plugged into the TV directly and it stopped. make sure to use the same cable to eliminate it as a possible.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomedias:
I've had this happen on occasion (once every 3-5 shows) with the Hulu app in the middle of an episode. More often than not it happens right after a commercial break. Interestingly, I also have a device between my Fire TV and TV. In my case, an HDMI splitter. Do you have any issue with the Fire TV directly connected?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

I would also check the cables. I've had problems in the past resolved by replacing low quality and/or internally frayed cables.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halmo20:
Update: Changed HDMI cable and video hasn't dropped after about 1 hour of watching stuff from Amazon/Netflix. Really odd since the cable before worked fine on another device. Will keep an eye on it...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
HDMI cables are pretty much all the same. But not all devices are the same. I have spent a ton of time switching out cables one a picky device. The worst was a UG007B I had. Finally bought a set of Twisted Veins someone else mentioned working and they did. Who knows if it's minor imperfections in the cable or the device port on either end. I always keep a couple spare HDMI cables lying around now.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomedias:
One other thing to consider is that every additional "link-in-the-chain" can add loss, kind of like making a copy of a copy of copy. Any one device by itself may seem fine. I've experienced this in the past, sometimes resolved by replacing with shorter or better quality cables.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
Yeah I didn't mean to say there aren't better quality cables, it's just in the price range from cheap to average there isn't much difference.

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to put a new watch face from www.gearfaces.com on Gear 2 Neo?

I downloaded the watch styles 1.1.0.0, downloading watch face goes fine, but i dont see them in the latest Gear mananager.

Thanks.

How did u sleep watch style? I can't find it in the Samsung app.

watchfaces

I have the gear1... With over 100 great watchfaces saved in the .wstheme format... I really want to get gear 2 but only if I can use them.... does the gear 2 come with or use a watchstyler?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ex-28:
I never had original gear watch but I do have the gear 2 neo here , I installed the apk of watchstyler I can create and import themes but I cant find a way to set them in gear manager
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bahamasjkh:
W/ original gear I'm able to select the "watchstyler" watchface in gear manager... under clocks... The neo gear manager doesn't allow you to change watchfaces?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ex-28:
once it opends gear manager I don't have "clocks" in there

if I click on home screen styler in gear manger I have "clock" at th top but in there

it only shows pre loaded clocks from before
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bahamasjkh:
Is there a watchstyler app in the "tizen" store?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Jeshter2000:
This is due HTML5 based OS on the Neo and Gear2...

Gear1 runs android so someone needs to see if there can be a app created for HTML5.... Sadly WatchStyler is not compatible with Gear2 and Neo
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] jamesbond007uk:
Ok Thanks. Hopefully someone is creative to create a new app.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ash99:
Was the original watch styler a Samsung App?

ok so we have to wait for a new version ..

and far as in the store im not seeing any apps at all for the clock. for gear 2

No, from www.gearfaces.com. The Gear Faces from Samsung App store works fine.....but not what I want :)
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bahamasjkh:
Watchstyler

I find it hard to believe that the Gear2 would be released without an app for making watch faces. Watchstyler was universally touted as being THE most useful and popular app for the original Gear. Surely Sammy would capitalize on its popularity! The next smartwatch I purchase would have to allow me to continue to enjoy the plethora of watchfaces created by the talented folks @ XDA! For me it is a watch first!... and I am spoilt to the core after having so many choices of faces to ever go back to just a few primitive "cartoonish" dials! I want the new Gear2 so badly I can taste it! But until we can "port" over the watchfaces already available or come up with a viable method of creating new ones in Tizen I will continue to enjoy what I have.... which, after all, is still a kick-@ss piece of technology!.... sorry... just had to get that off my chest!.

:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Qwallace70129:
Why would Samsung capitalize on it? It was never their app to begin with. It was a privately created app. Blame the creators of watch styler for not rewriting the app for the gear 2.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] bahamasjkh:
Why would Samsung capitalize on it? Are you kidding? One of the major complaints (one) was that the Gear was released with a very limited collection of stock faces. Even now there is only a handful of "crackerjack" watchfaces. I'm not blaming anyone.... simply stating my dismay and disbelief that there seems to be no method (now) of rocking out the Gear2 with a little more sophisticated watchfaces. I work in a luxury jewelry store and certainly won't be wearing a S5 wallpaper on my wrist. I am well aware that it was created by one of Sammys "partners".
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] Qwallace70129:
You can change the backgrounds..... Lol. I know it's not much.. but what can we really expect 2 days after its release? Devs are probably waiting to see if the buzz behind these products actually produces numbers. Maybe when enough purple start clamoring for it someone will step up to the plate and create an app. It just sucks (IMO) because the big draw was suppose to be how easy it would be to create html5/java apps.... but no one has actually done it yet....

Got GearFaces working on my Gear Neo 2!

I find the Gear Faces designs something way above others and decided to give it a shot. Working according to the instructions given on the site lead me to having about 10 new faces to choose from. :D The trick was to include the sdb.exe file to the same folder that the wgt file. I'm looking forward to getting more of these fine looking designs!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] incident404:
I can use any WS/MW watch faces from http://gearfaces.com/?cat=51 with WatchStyler on my Gear2neo with Note3 and Note4

1. Install WatchStyler from Galaxy Gear App store

2. Download desired watchfaces from gearfaces to your phone

3. Open WatchStyler app (from your phone app drawer, not from gear setting app)

4. Press Load theme button, and choose "My files", app will scan your phone for downloaded watchfaces and will shoow it to you.

5. Repeat step 4 if u want to add more than 1 watchface

6. Go to gear manager, watchfaces selection, choose WatchStyler, press the gears (settings) button and choose desired watchface, usualy u will need to go back and set any basic watchface and after this switch to WatchStyler again to apply new watchface.

Hope it helps.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nosrub:
I will be receiving my new S5 Monday and I've saw some people on the forums talking about a thing called ART . What is it? Does it make the phone perform better then usual? I'm sorta new to the forums and I have a little bit of knowledge that involve rooting and such. I'm just looking to learn more.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
This is a pretty good explanation here. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-art-of-android/

But It basically goes like this. Dalvik has smaller apps and that open slower. ART transitions those apps into larger files, but they open faster. So ART apps would download slower, but be rendered faster in the tapping of the icon. If I got most of what was said, that's basically it. Unsure of battery implications though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nosrub:
So let's say I download the usual apps using ART , those apps will take up more space on my phone but will run and open faster?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natalic:
how will we decompile them?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
As far as I've read, yes. So with bigger capacity phones the larger files have no consequence and the apps have better functionality.

use flash tool again and flash proper ftf file in flashmode if it is not flashing then connect mobile in fastboot mode and blue light will come up then use fastboot mode (click thunder icon then fastboot after light is blue)then select kernel and flash it after that again flash full ftf in flash mode

remove batery after 10 seconds place it. now open flashtool and select correct firmware then flash. it shows preparing device. after 1 min it says to "connect phone in flash mode"

now only you have to connect your phone to pc it's important for bootloop devices.

press and hold volume down + connect usb

phone led turns into green
[Sony Xperia M] NoobGuY17:
I've flashed the kernel using fastboot.. And it shows me failed message when writing boot saying that command doesn't have blablabla.. Is something wrong? Or i have to open flashtool with administrator?

well make sure you install drivers for fast boot else it wont work

drivers are in flash tool folder C:\Flashtool\drivers in my case its here if you have used default settings look and install and select fastboot from list when installing

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbiricuda:
Hi

Is there a way to add quick buttons to the notification drawer (the one you open by just swiping down on the screen, I mean), instead of tapping the upper-right button first?

There are very few options I use very often (like wifi on/off, plane mode on/off, rotation on/off) and I wish I could have those buttons directly in the notification drawer, instead of doing one more tap on the related button.

Any idea?

I've looked over the Internet but I can mainly find either apps that include other apps in the drawer or development explanations. I would just like to have a "widget" at the top of the drawer.

Thanks :D
