[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shooshi:
How are you guys attaching the kickstand to the case? are you just gluing around the edges? or are you attaching it straight to the back cover of the phone?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] j00manji:
when you cut out the kickstand it has a lower edge on/around it. You can put glue on and seal it to the outer piece of the case, then cut the inner piece so it sits flush. Still loving my case mod.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shooshi:
Cool I just finished cutting the kickstand out of the case. Just to be clear, I'm cutting out the space on the hard plastic and the inside silicone rubber piece right? Sorry for all the questions, I've never even used a dremel until seeing this mod... hahah
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] j00manji:
yep, you should use an exacto knife to cut the rubber middle piece. I had the same question lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fearbit:
Please guys, can anybody buy the Qmadix case from Amazon and then send it to me ?the seller that has it for sale doesn't ship it international.i leave in Greece...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DRTARUNRAJ:
Great mod. . Will try it. .

I might be able to next week. PM me your address and we'll talk about it in a few days!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I keep my phone docked on a grabby-type dock that prevents it from falling out. It's mounted under the windsrcreen of my Motorcycle and the other day, I had a rather nasty wheelie that had the front end slam down pretty hard. :D

A mile later I'm wondering why there is no music in my helmet (bluetooth speakers) and I look down... the phone is gone!

Ride back, see the phone laying on the concrete street gutter.

Ugh.

Pick the phone up and the screen is still lit and the moment I grab the phone, the Bluetooth reconnects and music is playing in my helmet again :D

And,,, no obvious scratches. :up:

This Spigen case rocks. And so does the glass screen protector I put on it. :good:

Oh, and I guess that means the kickstand doesn't compromise the case integrity much, if at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 22reyga:
cool !!! but i only have Spigen Neo Hybrid

is it works on Neo Hybird too ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] emreipekci:
Good idea. May be you can get a patent ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
It would not work very well since the Neo has only soft rubber backing and no hard plastic for support/trim.

Thanks. I like it a lot. :good:

The trick to making it look good is in finishing it off with files of different grit, from abrasive to polish. And it takes time/patience.

If you just cut a hole in the back, then it's going to look bad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amrinal:
Nice job... does anyone trying it on spigen sav..?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MobileData:
The real question is, how are your fork seals after that wheelie? Are the forks oozing oil? If so time for new seals.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
They're good for now. I know what you're saying though. :good:

1st gear wheelies are bad all around.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] FroyoYo-Yo:
Please help. I have several problems.

My phone has original software, If I need to give you some info on it, tell me and Ill answer. No ROM is installed by me - is what im saying.

Problems :

1. After unplug the phone from PC, Micro SD card will not load back on. Its missing untill I restart the whole phone.

2. I have like 300 photos, and for some reason 5% of them are RUINED. They are partially or entirely dicoloured or black. And what is even more confusing - sometimes that defect shows only after choose that picture. So, for a split second its OK, and then it get covered with black or some other color blocks. Is it the RAM? Its not full, so im confused.

I tried to update the phone via USB cable or online, but I dont know how cuz there is no update online, so maybe I need to download it manually?. Please help me, tell me what to download, or what ever I need to do.

Thank you.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] FroyoYo-Yo:
Here is the example. This little box of image you see it obviously only part of whole image, but what is weird is that 1 scond before this sreenshot - that part was black and the other part of the picture was visible.

so im still hoping those pictures are not lost. But when i send them via email to my pc, its black too..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Mr.DonDroid:
And when connected via usb? Can you see them on your pc?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] FroyoYo-Yo:
I connected with USB and HiSuite, and there i no difference - parts of those pictures are missing.

i keep reading other threads and posts about why people aren't happy with their M8..........i for one am extremely happy with mine in fact i have not been happier with a phone since i got an 02 xda exec (who remembers them)

i don't care if my screen may look a bit yellower than someone else's i am not one to compare things anyway i can see everything i want on the screen i have and can do everything from reading my books surfing the web play games and do work .......im happy

my battery lasts all day the way i use my phone ...i don't need 140hours of use and 28 days standby .......

i don't care if my grey is lighter or darker than anyone else's....im happy with the colour i have

my build quality seems fine ....nothing coming off or rattling .....im happy

I'm happy with sense don't need a gpe

i don't need a mega mega pixel camera i have a nikon d600 for that ....the camera is fine for what i would ever need it for u want more megapixels either buy a dslr or a nokia or sony

i have had a shed load of phones through the years and all of them bought because i wanted them regardless of looks style peer pressure or sales patter i make a decision and go buy it then use it as it was intended to be used ....but what i don't do is gripe gripe gripe .....far to many people nit pick and to a certain extent may well put others off buying that model i bet that for every one person on this forum that has a problem/gripe/nitpick there are 100`s that love it but you rarely hear from them

as a side note my phone was bought from cex in the uk along with a s5 for my son and he loves his as much as i love mine so it really is horses for courses.......of course mines better coz i can and have, unlocked boot loader, rooted, s-offed, changed cid/mid, sim unlocked and flashed ARHD and he can't !!!!
[One (M8) General] eikast:
The camera is fine, I just wish that it was smoother, I'm coming from an iPhone so I'm a little spoiled in some areas and abused in others.
[One (M8) General] daddioj:
its a perfect phone. i don't know what the hell there is to complain about really. if it got 100 MP camera someone would complain about something . else. for a smaller battery than my G2 it sure as hell last just as long...... oh its too long.... ohh the bezels are too big. blah blah for real? lmao. let me shake my phone to see if something rattles. people do all sorts of crazy things. trust me i had every phone known to man, and this phone is close to perfect. would i take a bigger battery or camera sure. does it hinder the phone at all. def not! and sense 6 is the best version yet

i am also a happy M8 user :good:
[One (M8) General] ahmadsraj:
I really liked this phone

I came from galaxy note 3

It's really smooth and fast,I like the camera and the screen is good

I can't find anything to dislike this phone it's awesome.
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
Great post buddy! You're absolutely right, ppl complain and nit pick a lot but as long as you're happy that's what matters.
[One (M8) General] shaqqq:
I'm happy with my M8 also. Only thing I'm mad about is I can't send and receive pictures because my M8 is Att I'm using it on T-Mobile.
[One (M8) General] 1ManWolfePack:
I've about had 'em all myself.

This is as close to perfect as I've had.

Sent from my HTC6525LVW
[One (M8) General] eikast:
That shouldn't be a huge issue. Just have tmobile configure your APN settings.
[One (M8) General] shaqqq:
Yeah they did and they said sometimes with unlocked phones that doesn't work. I read that since kitkat been released att blocked unlocked phones being able to send and receive pictures. Everything else works besides this.
[One (M8) General] Marcwa19197:

i'm happy because i managed to get one on upgrade with EE for just £29.99 per month with no upfront cost !!!!

[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
I think most people are happy with their M8, but feel a tiny bit let down by a couple of things. I love my M8 but I wish HTC had better quality control. Mine had 2-3 small scratches right out of the box, along with a loose volume rocker. I know that nothing is perfect but to be honest I've seen many iPhone's 5 and 5S and all of them are the same out of the box...

Other than that nothing beats this phone really. Excellent device all round.
[One (M8) General] grud1e:
thats a good deal ......personally i never use a contract been with giffgaff since the start due to unlimited data and since the beginning of this year used ee for the 10gb data for 30£ per month and will look at giffgaff again when they roll out 4g ......when ever i change handsets i use cex so i can trade in the old one and save some money
[One (M8) General] njhardc0re:
Coming from a Droid Maxx with a 3500 battery I can say that the M8 battery is not terrible at all.
[One (M8) General] Longcat14:
I don't think the people who are complaning hate the phone itself, but they have defects which make them not like the one they have in their hands.

Personally, I love the M8, but my first one had speaker grills and a screen that looked like they were going to pop off, and my second one has a loose volume rocker and dead pixel. I do love this phone, but I wish HTCs quality control was better.
[One (M8) General] pinktheater:
I've been using my M8 for nearly 2 weeks now.

Coming from Galaxy S4, i can tell the difference is abysmal. The speed, the quality of the screen, the way the phone manages the different task, the battery life is amazing! The pictures are good too.

Overall i feel satisfied with the change :)
[One (M8) General] Barso1:
I just jumped over after owning an iphone5S and absolutely loving the M8 and android.
[One (M8) General] SouthernEvo:
I love the HTC M8 , Luckly enough for me I managed to get a makeshift screen shield over the camera since it had developed two scratches already . Mind you it lives in an otterbox . Other than that one issue and stopping future scratches from developing . No dead pixels , grills pretty much flush with the screen and the volume keys are fine since they in a case anyways LOL . Hell I even like Sense (OMG WHO JUST TYPED THAT) , and what they have done with it .
[One (M8) General] bkeaver:
I'm on ATT and I can send and receive pictures just fine. I've always had my phone's unlocked so I don't know who posted that but that just isn't true.

Oh and I also love this phone. I'm usually a huge Samsung person but this has been the best phone I've had to date.... And I've had A Lot.
[One (M8) General] shaqqq:
My M8 is AT&T but unlocked using on T-Mobile. This the only phone I had this problem with and other people having the same issue and they saying it happened when KitKit released and something about Att started blocking it for people who unlock there phones to use for other carriers.

And I agree with you on that. The S5 was the first Samsung phone I didn't like.
[One (M8) General] clockwork.satan:
Totally! There are people out there who just like to moan about things regardless of how good they are.

I upgraded from the HTC One X to the M8 and find myself constantly impressed with everything about it; it's easily the best phone I've owned and (i think) trounces everything else on the market right now.
[One (M8) General] sameer1807:
Even if I wanted to, I just don't think I can sacrifice the speakers for those on any other phone..once u go boomsound u never go back lol..and have never had a smoother experience on any other android phone(had galaxy series1-4, m7)
[One (M8) General] jpbl1976:
I don't understand why anyone would complain -- maybe I'm just lucky but I don't have the defects that others had -- same thing with my M7 (although it developed the purple Camera tint -- now that I have my M8, I can have it replaced).

I owned a Galaxy S5 for about 3 weeks before I got my M8 (my supplier's fault: he took forever to get me one). Not impressed with the S5. It always felt cheap in hand and while the camera and screen were great, I could never get over how flimsy it felt. Honestly, my logitech G700s mouse feels sturdier in comparison.

Meanwhile, the build quality and materials used in the M8 -- as well as the ongoing refinement of Sense -- puts it far ahead of anything Samsung, Sony (comes closest), LG or any of the others have.

Regarding Sense -- do any of you realize that Samsung's stock dialer on the S5 is nearly the same thing it had on the Galaxy S2 but with slightly different colors? It's crazy -- Gingerbread design in a KitKat world. Also, the fingerprint scanner on the S5 is a joke -- I own an iPhone 5s and I'm shocked that Samsung bothered to ship a phone with such crappy fingerprint recognition just to "compete" with Apple -- and it's not like TouchID is perfect. Regardless, pitting their fingerprint scanners head-to-head was like pitting a kindergarten kid (Samsung) against Lebron James (Apple) in a game of basketball. It's a travesty.

Also, I've seen numerous reviews comparing the S5 and the M8 and 9/10 were all in favor of the M8. One exception was GSM Arena (quite possibly paid off by Samsung), which actually claimed TouchWiz was better than Sense. I laughed so hard at that one. GSM Arena has been shilling for Samsung since at least the Omnia days; I stupidly bought one back then because I believed its review.

With respect to the Camera -- by now, consumers are sophisticated enough to know that the camera megapixel count isn't that big of a deal given the use cases for most camera phones -- I can't even remember the last time I transferred a phone camera photo to my PC. If I want to go nature-hiking and take photos, I have a DSLR for that.

To conclude, owning the S5 always felt like owning the 2nd-best thing out there. Now that I have my M8, I feel like I own the best Android device available.
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
So if anyone prefers touchwiz over sense you find that ridiculous?

Overall the camera on the S5 is better. Why arent you giving credit where its due? It seem that you try hard to discredit one phone over the other. Do you carry a DSLR everywhere you go? I dont think so.

I agree with the finger scanner, the one on the S5 is crappy. Theres a new firmware which improves it apparently.
[One (M8) General] jpbl1976:
Yup. Touchwiz is absolute garbage. Heck, even the Samsung fanbois in the S5 threads uninstall it for something else.
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
Then you do not understand different opinions. You condemn GSMarena because you think they should prefer sense. Thats kinda funny.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Is that right. All of them?
[One (M8) General] jpbl1976:
Nope. If it looks like garbage and smells like garbage, it's garbage. GSM Arena is a known shill for Samesung. Come on. You're letting your fanboism get the better of you.

I'm through replying to you. Waste of time. It's hard to convince people who have bad taste that they have bad taste. If you really like crap, go ahead and like it. I won't stop you and my opinion shouldn't matter. Wallow in the garbage for all I care.
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
Good. I think i see why your comments didnt make sense now. Night!

To each his own. I'm just grateful that i have the ability to understand and respect others opinion. Thank God.
[One (M8) General] jpbl1976:
Oh, I respect others' opinions just fine. It's just yours that I don't and nothing you nor anyone in the cosmos can make me change my mind. A smarter person wouldn't even be bothered by anything I had to say. You clearly just want people to adhere to what you're saying but really, that's not going to happen.

And it's funny you thank God at the end of your feeble rebuttal --- religion has been used as an excuse for all manner of intolerance and persecution for millennia.
[One (M8) General] barondebxl:
Ok. Its a happy M8 thread so lets get back on topic. I dont want you to be anymore upset :)
[One (M8) General] snowwhite007:
I love my M8 and I also have an S5 and Z2 as I run a tech website. First off the M8 we have had no faults that I can see but maybe if u actually tried to look for them I'd find something but why the hell would I bother doing that?

The camera is absolutely fine for what I need it for as if I'm going somewhere I know I need pictures then I'll take my DSLR. Also you already know what the camera is all about before buying so what where people expecting? Overall I'm satisfied with the HTC One and on a side note the S5 and Z2 are also awesome.

Glad someone started a positive thread as XDA often gets filled with nitpick threads.
[One (M8) General] vegetaleb:
I am very happy with the M8 over M7.

Though with the double tap to wake screen they shouldn't have making it too sensitive,same goes for the volume buttons,too sensitive,too big (some car holder will not like it) and badly situated (they should have switched places with the SD slot).

Of course the camera could have been about 8 to 12mp, it's not that the M8's camera is bad but sometimes you want to zoom the photo for details and you can't.

Screen is not as good as M7 under sunlight,perhaps it's just as good as One X.

But hey the good things of this phone outweigh these minor details:

-Large incredible screen

-Louder speakers

-Higher audio quality over earphones/headphones

-Super blazing fast UI

-Grey Metal color with titanium borders!

-SD slot

-60fps video recording and slow motion

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] grizzlywon:
I have a brand new Galaxy S4 for AT&T and nothing will work to root this phone. Tried motochopper. When I run adb file as administrator the black box pops up for about 2 seconds and then its gone. Doesn't install SuperUser.

Also tried Odin 3.09 and the ID box says ):[COM4] and is always blue instead of yellow. Tried reinstalling the drivers restarting etc and its the same. When I hit "Start" it always fails.

Also tried the Kingo ROOT, it gets the phone into download mode and at the Recovery step, it fails.

Even Tried Terminal Emulator and once again, it would fail saying it couldn't find files even though they were on the SD card and it was formated correctly

I'm really stuck here and ready to give up. Please help!

What files are you using to root your s4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] netomel:
Since you just purchase the s4 you must be on build NB1 which there is no single method to root developed. To root your phone you need to downgrade to MK2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bassie1988:
And which recovery are you using?

You can try to flash the standard Galaxy S4 rom (non-branded) via Odin, and then try to root that rom

Did you try to flash a pre-rooted custom rom? This might also help, and you might get a better rom (performance/battery-life);)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] netomel:
Its not about root the latest phones comes with a version that the bootloader its locked. This phones are limited to Touch wiz roms due to the new decision of AT&T to lock the bootloader. There is nothing we can do until some body find a way to do it.

Now why would AT&T make it so hard / impossible to modify your device? They don't gain any advantage of it do they?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Red_81:
The main advantage is you can't use custom rooms to get around some of the blocked features. That way they can charge for those features.

It also allows them to go after the corporate contracts that want a more locked down device. The Government has been looking for a successor to the BlackBerry.

I've had a terrible time trying to flash a rom recently. Long story short, I suspect that 'wipe data' is actually wiping my SD card (in addition to, or instead of the internal memory).
