[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Today, Samsung announced a new Kindle for Samsung app through their Samsung Apps Store. Rather than trying to rewrite their blog post (http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=35871), i'll just copy from their summary:

- Samsung and Amazon agreed to launch ‘Kindle for Samsung’, a custom-built eBook service offering millions of best-selling books, newspapers and magazines on readers’ mobile devices including over 500,000 exclusive titles.

- Samsung and Amazon will also launch Samsung Book Deals, a service providing 12 free eBooks a year to all Kindle for Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet users. (Basically, they let you choose one of four books to get for free every month).

I already installed the app. It looks better than the official Kindle app in my opinion. And the first 4 free books to choose from are already up.

I think i'm gonna go with Apocalypse Z. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Download a free open-source e-book reader and you get a million more of these than Amazon is giving you, and without the con. I didn't check your complete list but the one you chose is definately free:

*Mod Edit: No Piracy On XDA*

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
With android, almost everything is free and I love freebies! I'll go first with Apocalypse Z too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
What con are you talking about? Samsung is offering books for free. Books that you would otherwise need to pay for.

And contrary to what you posted, the Apocalypse Z book is not free. I went to the link you suggested. Doesn't look legit or legal. I searched for some other books that I know are not free (The Goldfinch, Hunger Games, LOTR). Guess what? They all came up as 'free' with a 'download now' button next to them. But not before the download link took me to two (yes, two) other sites (usearchmedia(.)com and mediasuns(.)com). And of course, there was the obligatory disclaimer at the bottom of the ebook-share site:

"DISCLAIMER: None of the files shown here are actually hosted or transmitted by this server. The links are provided solely by this sites users. The administrator of this site cannot be held responsible for what its users post, or any other actions of its users. You may not use this site to distribute or download any material when you do not have the legal rights to do so. It is your own responsibility to adhere to these terms."

Why would you criticize Samsung for providing free LEGAL books, call it a con, and then point users to some crap illegal file-sharing site?

Yes, there's a lot of free stuff for Android. Still, I like where Samsung is going. They are really pushing hard to separate themselves from Google, Amazon, and all the other manufacturers. If that means giving me free stuff, like Milk and Kindle for Amazon, then i'm all for it. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
At least we get what we pay for. They should give more to their loyal customers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jacqueline robert:
Great step

Great step taken by 2 Giant. I love it. Thanks for this great step.:o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
In this case I was conned, but more often than not it is the reverse. Many times I see these online book publishers selling public domain work which I have downloaded freely from Project Gutenberg. So in general I am right, I just chose a bad example. I download books only from Project Gutenberg but in an attempt to demonstrate my point here I just made a quick Internet search on the one title.

My recommendation is still to download a free e-book reader and to freely down free public domain books.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
You have your point man, and we respect it. Actually I never spent $ on e-books, reading should be free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Reading is free. It's the books that sometimes cost money. :)

Not all of the books I want to read are public domain. I don't mind paying for decent books. I'm not going to spend $20 on an ebook, but I don't mind spending a few dollars. I bought Hugh Howey's 'Silo' series for like $3 and it was worth every penny. On the other hand, I went out and bought 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' for $12 because all my friends swore by it, but I couldn't get past the first 50 pages. Just not my writing/reading style. Wish I could return it. lol

80% of my ebooks and audiobooks I get from the library anyway. I just finished the Dune audiobook last week, and now am reading the Dune Messiah ebook. I got both from the library via Overdrive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
I must say reading books should be free. Thanks for correcting it. I can see you're a bookworm and this freebies are for readers like you. Enjoy the freebies :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bataga:
Shame on people charging money for spending their time writing books. Taking is free so phones should be free too?!? Dumb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lorettaa:
You have your point, and I was wrong, but that was not I'm trying to say. Sorry about that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I see you're from Lilburn. I was in Atlanta for a conference and decided to drive to Lilburn to visit some family. Nice drive, nice town (or city). I didn't get lost once, which made me very proud considering I am from NYC and don't drive that often.

Anywho...

I know what you were trying to say. I seek out freebies every chance I can get too. I hardly ever turn down a free book, even if it's something I don't think i'll read. I got two free Audible audiobook credits that I am trying to decide what to use on (I was originally going to go with LOTR, but I only have two credits and don't want to have to pay for the third book.) I recently got 'Heart of Darkness' and 'A Princess of Mars' cause they were free on Amazon (along with the Audible audiobook free as well).

I live by two rules. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. And never turn down a free book.

GakuGaku has ported blinkfeed from sense 6 over to work on various phones running 4.4. I originally came across this from an article that stated this port works on the Nexus 5. I have tested it and found that it also works on the Sprint LG G2. They are up to version 9 which comes with different theme colors. This is WIP and there are bugs. For instance Facebook isn't working with this blinkfeed port as of yet. Also since there are portions of sense 6 with this port to make the blinkfeed work, there are "grid" issues and therefore a lot of widgets don't work on other screens. Once installed you will have kind of a hybrid between sense 6 and LG Home. The softkey menu, the app drawer and windows are all sense 6 but your Lg Home notification area is still there and the main settings menu is still LG home. You can also turn off blinkfeed/sense 6 by going into settings and changing your launcher back to LG home.

As far as I know HTC will release blinkfeed on the play store so I suggest people to wait :)

[Sprint LG G2] dantheman9703:
thanks for the heads up!! Works great! No sense (harhar) in waiting, the process is super easy.
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
I found a work around for the grid issue. If your running xposed then download and install the "App Setting" module. This will allow you to change your DPI per app. Once installed, open up HTC Blinkfeed in the app list in the App Setting module. Change your DPI from 0 to 380.

Now set up all your favorite screens and widgets. Don't worry about everything look out of place and not centered. Don't worry about re-sizing widgets either at this point. Just get them on the screens where you want them.

Now go back into the app setting module and edit the HTC Blinkfeed DPI to 480. Now everything should look a lot better. For whatever reason we cannot add a lot of the widgets in the 480 dpi setting even though that's what fits best and is centered. However if you add them in another DPI then they will stay there when you change back to 480.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Qzic:
Can you check a few things out for me?

1. Does the Kindle for Samsung (KfS) link to an Amazon account and/or a Samsung account?

2. Does the KfS have access to the Kindle Owners Library (free book a month for Prime members)?

3. Can you link KfS to one Amazon account and the regular Kindle app to a different Amazon account?

4. If you link it to an amazon.co.jp account, do you get a choice of free Japanese books?

I have Kindle devices from both the US and Japan and this would be a great way to access both of my collections.

The ROM I'm using now doesn't have Samsung Aps installed so I need to fix that first. I'm concerned that my first login might link the device to a specific store.

UPDATE 1: I installed KfS and tested it side by side with the regular Kindle app. Most importantly, the KfS only works with the US amazon.com site. It let me log in with my Japanese amazon.co.jp account, but couldn't find any books in my libary and when clicking the store or other links ended up dropping me into the amazon.com site.

KfS version: 4.3.0.204

Kindle version: 4.4.0.71

When I logged into the KfS and entered my amazon.co.jp account details, it automatically changed all of the Amazon apps to the amazon.co.jp account. E.g. the Amazon app store, and regular kindle app were switched over to the .co.jp account. It was easy to swith back and both Kindle apps could use a different amazon account compared to the Appstore.

KfS does not have access to the Kindle Owner's Library.

UPDATE 2: After selecting a free book on KfS, that book is available to be read on your other kindle devices and apps.

UPDATE 3: Kindle and KfS work well side by side using different Amazon accounts. I have my regular Kindle app set to my amazon.co.jp account and the KfS set to my amazon.com account. I can access both and easily switch back and forth. Regardless of the free books (which are all free on the Kindle Owners Library anyway) this is a great feature to use two accounts.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Reignogleph MMXI:
I'm still using stock 4.2 on my G4 and noticed that the Samsung App wanted to update itself and ChatOn, and install a panoply of utilities, before allowing me to download Kindle for Samsung. Does anyone know whether those upgrades and installations add anything undesirable?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 3vo3d:
Cheers for the recommendation op.

I really enjoyed reading apocalypse z. Much more than I anticipated.

Not sure which book to pick next...
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
I just got my new Dot Case from VZ, but the bloody thing doesn't close all the way. The front flap is not flush with the screen so its hard to see the notifications. I do have a tempered glass screen on there, but I don't think that is the actual cause of the flap not being flushed. I'm just wondering if I got a lemon?
[One (M8) Accessories] wraith2626:
Tempered glass screen protector off - closes all the way nicely.

Tempered glass screen protector adds just enough thickness to cause the front flap to not close as it increases the height against the hinge for the cover. Bummer :rolleyes:

I look at this two ways. Cover of the dot case negates the need for a screen protector....or I can choose a case that the screen protector is able to work with (I did this, having had the dot case and learned the hard way about the fit).
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
Did you confirm this yourself? I'd hate to remove the the expensive glass protector only to find out that it isn't the reason why the flap doesn't close all the way.
[One (M8) Accessories] ingoljosh:
dot view case is the ugliest thing i have ever seen in my life. HTC MAJOR FAIL!

It just looks and feels wrong.

Try again HTC
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
not really what i was asking about but thanks for the bump
[One (M8) Accessories] wraith2626:
Confirmed only in my situation for the Tempered Glass protector I installed.

I have the nillkin glass protector...only one I can confirm. Dot case closed perfectly without the glass installed. With the glass installed, stayed open and would not fully close.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
Thanks....it's the exact same glass I have. Looks like the Dot case is going back.
[One (M8) Accessories] racedog:
Same issue here. Glass protector and when the dot view case arrived it won't close because of the protector. Case is ugly anyway so it is going back tomorrow.
[One (M8) Accessories] bobruels44:
If it's anything like the normal flip case it may take a few weeks to break the case in. I had the flip case one the M7, and many complained about this. After a week or two it was just fine.
[One (M8) Accessories] nabbed:
A brand new dot view case didn't close all the way on my phone (with Verizon screen protector.)

But since the case breaks bluetooth voice dialing, I immediately returned it.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
Yea.. after 5 hours of use, I had to return mine as well. I tried extra hard to like it, but I should've listened to the reviews I've read about it hindering one-handed usage. Went back to my Nillikin slim case and all is well again.
[One (M8) Accessories] aimfire72:
Hmm, I also got a dot view and a glass screen protector and am thinking maybe I shouldn't put it on. I need to test out the case for a few days, see how I like it... I didn't care for the Samsung view cover cases, not sure if I'll like this one. The dot view seems to be one of the cases where you either love it or hate it.
[One (M8) Accessories] cc999:
Case closing

I can tell you that the first week the case did not close all the way. Now it closes perfectly.

It has to be kind of broken in. I personally love the case.....

Spigen Screen protector

Have anyone used the Spigen 0.23mm Glas tr?
[One (M8) Accessories] wraith2626:
Three or four days of use loosened mine so that it closed even with a tempered glass screen protector on it. Do not have any gap when sitting flat now, closes all the way. Give it a few days. Even breaks in for one handed use well. Just takes getting used to like any change. :cyclops:
[One (M8) Accessories] X1XNobleX1X:
What screen protector?

What glass screen protector are you using?
[One (M8) Accessories] NJGSII:
Mine still does from the day I got it back in May.
[One (M8) Accessories] wraith2626:
I have the Skinomi Glass. Good product. Good warranty coverage. Had a key in my pocket scratch and crack the protector, they replaced it no charge under warranty with overnight shipping. Good support and an excellent product.
[One (M8) Accessories] X1XNobleX1X:
Spigen

I just wondered because you said the case broke in after a week.

I'm wondering whether I should purchase the Spigen Glas.tR. which is 0.23mm or should I purchase a 0.15mm screen protector instead.

Does the glass effect the viewing of the case?

Are you having problems with the case with the glass at all?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Accessories] wraith2626:
Case was not broke....case was broken in so that it closed even with the tempered glass protector on. Sorry for the confusion. Love the dot view case.
[One (M8) Accessories] X1XNobleX1X:

"I just wondered because you said the case broke in after a week."

Isn't that I said? Never said anything about being broken.

I just got my dot case hope it gets broken in i have a privacy screen protector is kind of thick anyone recommend a nice thin privacy screen protector?
[One (M8) Accessories] Terra1:
So why is everybody using a screen protector when they have a case that covers the screen??? I love the case and don't think my fingers will scratch the screen anytime soon.....

Enjoy the M8's beautiful screen naked..
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Because grit/dirt/dust can get between the screen and the flap still.
[One (M8) Accessories] Terra1:
You must not be like me, I wipe/clean my M8 all the time and don't have a pocket full of dirt and grit!
[One (M8) Accessories] BretskiSmith:
How about trying to text with two hands with this case, almost impossible.
[One (M8) Accessories] Pantaloonie:
Because the magnet embedded in the front of the dot view case has been reported to permanently mark the screen - I could see this happening to mine before I fitted the screen protector.
[One (M8) Accessories] Terra1:
Not sure we're that has been reported, but I can tell you from experience, get a good micro fiber cloth and it comes right off......

Not one magnetic mark on my naked screen......
[One (M8) Accessories] Haik0:
I can tell that even with a very thin, simple screen protector (not glass),, the case flap doesn't close all the way.
[One (M8) Accessories] bakemcbride21:

i don't have a screen protector and my case not closing ..

[One (M8) Accessories] hgoldner:
I have what has to be a knock-off dotview from overseas (ebay for $.99) and it closes fine. It's actually quite springy so I don't have any of the issues some complained about while typing on it. It is my case of choice, and I have the Spigen, the official HTC smart flap case, a leather flap case, and one other clear TPU case. Plus I have a Spartan tempered glass screen protector. Everything is copacetic.
[One (M8) Accessories] turboblaz:
Mine doesnt close all the way too. Maybe I messed up when I tried to close it with force when I had tampered glass protection. Because this glass is so thick it eventually bended my Dot case. And now I cant use it lol.

[One (M8) Accessories] mizzou626:
Has anyone had any luck stretching the hinge?
[One (M8) Accessories] brife:
The binding on mine is a soft rubbery material. I would think that the rubbery material would stretch if enough force was applied.
[One (M8) Accessories] mizzou626:
I've taped down one side to my countertop and then pulled it taut and taped down the other side. Left it that way for a few days but it didn't do anything. I also tried running the blow dryer over it while in this position for about 10 minutes but still no luck. I'm running out of ideas and the only thing I can think of now is to try and strengthen the magnetism in the cover with a magnet from a hard drive. I'm concerned that if it does increase the magnetism it could possibly damage my screen though.
[One (M8) Accessories] Echokosh1212:
Dot view case *major flaw* in design!!

Bought the original case the other case only to see that its not sit flat on the phone screen and it has like 2mm gap, which really annoys the hell outta me!!!

The Dot feature is awesome but the gap doesn't:crying: do any justice. aftermarket dot view case is way better and cheaper as well.

Shame on you HTC!!!

I am using tempered glass protector as well. Give it sometime.
[One (M8) Accessories] scott500:
I use the iloome glass on my screen and my Dotview case has never closed all the way. The glass simply makes the phone too thick.

I left it on for over a month and it never corrected itself. You can try to look at some of the posts on here and see if anyone has found an extra thin glass protector and give it a shot but more than likely, you're going to have to choose one or the other.

Best of luck!
