I meant in portrait mode. ;)

The picture show most phones (and tablets) in landscape mode, but I like portrait mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unholyfatman:
There's picutres in your post with the iPad in portrait mode i think the stand will work just fine the note is a light phone compared to it's size.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
It's certainly cheaper than the FlyGrips I usually use. I love that the FlyGrip also doubles as a way to securely hold the device, though and have been saved from dropping my Note due to it many times. It looks about as thin as the FlyGrip - if you get one let us know how durable it is, because even on the integrated kickstands I've used, the thin ones usually end up breaking after awhile.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lanwarrior:
I just placed an order and the seller (Remote Systems) shipped the item on the same day, according to the USPS tracking number they provided.

EDIT: I finally got it. It's much thicker than I thought. So much so that the works charging no longer work and my iOttie car holder won't automatically clamp the phone.

So now it is a choice of whether you need a kick stand or a wireless charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
Thanks for taking the plunge!

I would be the first to buy something like this but suddenly I've got too many accessories for the phone, and the price+shipping is too high for the product.

So I'm just waiting on some reviews on this.

My plan:

Phone + Glass screen protector (applied) + Kickstand + Plastic bumper.

Why:

I want the phone small as possible. Its more comfy in pocket, on hand, less drops, etc etc.

Plus I love the feeling of that leather*

Its just the ****ty stitching and the crappy lined plastic sides that degrade the phone's sense of luxury.

Quick questions:

How thick is it really?

Is the kickstand as thick as those cases with a kickstand?

Can the kickstand work on the far sides of the back, or does it have to be centered?

And lastly would it be a good idea to put the kickstand over the camera to protect it from scratching?

(obviously a cutout hole on the kickstand for the cam to peep through)

...

...

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lanwarrior:
Hi Kangal,

I the kickstand4u add about 0.4 cm to the thickness of the phone, IF you are using the regular back cover. I don't have another camera, so I don't have a picture to show it. If you use a wireless cover, it will add even more, so much so that my iOttie car dock no longer fit.

Additionally, the wireless charging no longer work since I believe the distance is now too far between the back cover and the charging coil. This is at least with my Tylt wireless charger.

I put mine slightly below the center, so closer to the bottom of the phone. This is because the S-Pen is actually sticking out a little bit, causing uneven plane when the phone is at an angle.

All in all, I prefer the kickstand since it allows me to put the phone an angle WITHOUT a). a bulky case and b). a docking station. I can live without the wireless charging, so now I just use the normal back cover. Oh, with the normal back cover and the kickstand4u, the phone still fit with my iOttie car holder.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
Thanks.

I'm giving up on my dream of a device with a bumper and a kickstand.

Its simply because the kickstand on its own won't ever be as sturdy as one on a case can be.

Also because the bumpers that I own (five different types) they're either not a good fit, not protective enough (non-shock-absorbing, or exposed corner wtf), or are very thick.

Basically for me, the simple solution is better.

Use a case that's not too bulky and has a kickstand that's decent enough.

I've found these two but have NOT bought OR TRIED them. Anyone tried these cases? What are your thoughts? Any good? Overpriced?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lanwarrior:
That's a nice looking case.

I need a stand that can do portrait and without adding any bulky case, so the kickstand meet my need. .... For now. [emoji1]

I want to assign more hardware buttons to start apps and perform functions such as 'start' and 'ok' without losing the default set of buttons.

So I want all the buttons you get as default on my xda mini s plus I want to be able select the 'start' button and 'ok' from hardware buttons - like you can when the sliding keyboard is open.

I also want to hardware start tasks, notes etc.

I don't want to use smartskey as doesn't this change the volume slider to page-up/page-down?

There seems to be a couple of apps out there that can enable this e.g. vito button mapper though was wondering if anyone could recommend something inc freeware if poss.

Cheers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wizzzard:
You can edit the smartskey.ini to disable the volume slider and just use the press and hold features of the softkeys. I can't understand why you would want to though. By default smartskey allows the volume slider to function as a volume control in the phone app and in the today screen.

i nexus 10 users.

Nexus 10 is a 2GB RAM.

However, the device has 1GB of information.

Where are the rest of the 1GB of RAM?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I already answered this question many times, but here it is again:

Like you already know the Nexus 10 powers up a huge resolution display, and the graphics processor is not really able to keep up with it all alone, so Google allocated some of Nexus 10 RAM to the GPU. The update brings some new stuff, therefore requires more power and as such it will probably need more GPU power as well, and that's why you see less RAM. I will share here how I tested each update based on graphical performance:

I picked up an anime episode that I had in MKV, FullHD, FLAC audio, blah blah blah... In other words, very heavy stuff. Downloaded MX Player on both my S4 and my Nexus 10. Let's start the tests now:

So, if you don't use your tablet for heavy videos and such, you can stay in older versions with no problems ;). I just think it is good to share this small experiment I did to clarify why your RAM "disappeared" suddenly on KitKat ;).

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shlape:
I have been looking online for some time to see if there's a custom ROM for the Nexus 7 2013 , a HOW-TO guide, or an app which would allow me to use a bluetooth dongle via an OTG cable. Unfortunately I have yet to find anything.

I tried to recompile a Cyanogenmod kernel with btusb (one attempt within the kernel and the other as a module). The compile failed saying that btusb is returning an invalid pointer type.

My questions are, has anyone succeeded in doing this? I have seen posts about people discussing inserting the btusb module for other devices.

Is the Nexus 7 (2013) device unable to utilise this kernel module? Can anyone suggest what I may try or where I should look.

More details of what I've done to date are on request. I didn't want to write a long-winded post in the unlikelihood it will be answered.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shlape:
I've (similarly) asked this question several times across a number of different fora with no response to date.

Is asking for external usb bluetooth support for a Nexus 7 (2013) a 'taboo' topic?

Sorry if I offended anyone.

The best I've managed to-date was to attempt a kernel recompile with btusb included (both in-built and as a module) but without success, ie. compilation ends in error. Is the btusb module incompatible for this architecture?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niranjan_23:
Hi, this is my first post on xda.

My problem:

I have a Nexus 4, running stock 4.4.3, from an OTA zip.

Yesterday, I was browsing through playstore, i came across anim mod app by JRummy Inc. I downloaded it. I read it alters something in the framework section.

I tried various window transition animations and decided to go back to stock. So i pressed android stock, it set the animations. I deleted that app and then rebooted. On reboot, some custom transition animations were still there. Also, I noticed that appinfo is also not working. Whenever I drag an app to app info, it says "settings has stopped working".

What I did next is this. I went to /system/framework and opened framework-res.apk the 4.4.3 version the app installer was installing it and said app not installed after like 30 secs.

So I copied a 4.4.2 framework-res.apk and replaced the 4.4.3 version. The moment I did it, the phone crashed and began to reboot. It was stuck at boot anim. I force-switched it off and went to recovery mode. Installed a backup of 4.4.2 /system.

It went fine. Still appinfo problem. Went back to 4.4.3. Again the same thing. Rest all settings.apk is ok.

Another thing is, now framework-res.apk aka "Android System" shows in downloaded apps. Maybe thats causing problems. I tried uninstalling it. But it causes the phone to be stuck at boot anim.

Also, appinfo shows up only for Android System app. For others it fcs.

app installer also fcs.

If i flash complete stock 4.4.2 with radio, boot img, etc all... will it work?

I know I have done even what a noob won't do.(no offence).

Please help me on this!

Nexus 4- now- stock rooted 4.4.3 stock kernel.

Have you contacted Samsung support? If a mic is not working it sounds like a hardware defect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wallyb132:
Same problem - How I resolved it

Sorry for bumping a kind of old post, but anyway...

I had the same problem with the mic not working on my note 3 since the day i bought it, I bought my Note 3 used off Craigslist, and when I got home I realized that the microphone didn't work on calls, but worked just fine on speaker phone. I was somewhat annoyed by this, thinking I got screwed on craigslist again. But instead of throwing a fit about it, I just ordered another charging port / microphone thinking that would solve the problem. I installed it when it arrived, all excited like, only to find out that this didnt fix the problem. I read several posts on this forum and others, many offering what seemed to be viable solutions, disabling noise reduction, cleaning out the mic hole with a pin and so on, none of these worked, the problem still continued.

So tonight I set out on a mission to find the cause of the problem and i did just that... I started by taking my phone apart so that I could clean the mic hole from the inside as well as cleaning the little screen / filter on the inside of the mic hole and stuff like that, I was working in an area that had awkward lighting (my patio), and so I was having to move the phone in different ways so I could see down around the microphone, while doing that I noticed the light glimmering around the area of the mic hole, on the inside, I looked a little closer and I could see that there was definitely something there. I picked at it with my tweezers and what came up, a piece of clear plastic that resembled the plastic you find wrapped around the edges of new electronics, it was about 1/8in wide and 1" long, and it was covering the mic hole.

After removing the plastic, I reassembled my phone and tested it, now the mic works great. it seems that samsung put this thin plastic there to keep things out of the microphone, and it works well, it keeps everything out of the microphone, including the sound of your voice..

Now my Note 3 is what it was supposed to be from the day I bought it, an awesome phone. Prior to tonight its been a regretful purchase and disappointing upgrade to my Note 2, which I had regretted getting rid of, until now...
