[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Leonart:
Self-replying again. (The reason I bother is so maybe people Googling something on this topic will find my posts.)

This is a pretty good case. It's aesthetically pleasing, minus the FYY logo on the front. I like that it protects the bezel and has a magnetic closure.

The solid front cover makes it more book-like to hold, but you can still prop the tablet up at 3 different viewing angles.

It looks and feels somewhat cheap in the hands, but at the price point $6 there's not a lot of room to complain.

Sadly, the tablet being somewhat tall, holding it one-handed from the bottom of the cover is kind of awkward. Due to the weight and height of the tablet, he only thing stopping it from doing a backflip out of my hand is my thumb holding it down. This puts a lot of stress on one's thumb and would probably contribute to fatigue over time. Additionally, given the fairly small bezel, you don't have a lot of room to put your thumb to begin with. This is something that one doesn't experience with the Kindle Paperwhite, since it's lighter, more square, and has a huge bezel (probably intentionally).

My biggest problems with the Kindle Paperwhite were that it supports limited formats (no epub support??? come the heck on), taking notes with it sucks due to the screen's low sensitivity and responsiveness, and I feel limited to using the Kindle store. The lack of formats makes it feel like. So I wanted something that would allow me to use any format or any vendor, as well as take notes with whichever keyboard I choose, on a display that is visually responsive. I factored weight into my decision.

I knew the Tab S would be heavier but I didn't think it would be too heavy. I'm imagining how painful it would be if I were reading while on my back and accidentally dropped the tablet on my face. The Tab S is also the lightest and thinnest tablet of its size. In fact, the Nexus 7 is 1g heavier. So it doesn't really get much lighter than this. A 7in tablet might have better weight distribution for the purpose of reading though.

The Kindle software on Android is great, though (and if it wasn't, I can always use Google Play Books) which is how my tablet-search started.

All in all I think this experiment shows the Tab S is not for me.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] killall:
I'm using the book cover as I like the option of a stand for videos. When holding in portrait you can fold back the magnetic part of the flap and then hold like a book. It is nice and firm just like the paperwhite cover.

There's also the simple cover if you don't need the angled stand.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] guga124:
I share your concerns...have you taken a look at the just announced Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact? It's an 8 inch tablet and weighs 270 grams....(not sure, but the wifi-only version might even be just 260 grams). Besides, the Huawei MediaPad X1 is a very competent 7 incher that weighs 239 grams, although not sure if it's simple to grab one of those.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Leonart:
Sad thing is I don't think any tablet can manage to be as light as the Kindle Paperwhite, which weighs 170g. I will check out those devices, though; thanks for your suggestions.

I also think weight distribution is playing a role. Because the Tab S is so tall and skinny, it wants to tip out of your hand when holding it from the bottom. The Kindle Paperwhite display is almost 4:3 where as the Tab is 16:10. Since the Paperwhite device is closer to square, I believe that the weight is more evenly distributed in the palm of your hand. But it's also not as big or heavy overall, so that probably plays a more important role.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] leojab:
I have the book cove from samsaung and it is great based on quality and different angles it offers.

But I have a question for you all, How are you holding the tablet in portrait mode.. I always have my palm pressing the back or multitask button.. IT is such a ache..

Any suggestion please how to hold or avoid such issues while being comfortable.

Any app to disable those buttons etc..
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] drei666:
Hi Leonart,

why are you replacing the Paperwhite?

I do own them both.. but I would never replace the comfort of reading on the paperwhite (or any self illuminating e-ink readers).

I love the SuperAMOLED screen on the tab S but it performs poorly in bright sun light compared to the e-ink screen.

Anyway I do own the 10.5 version and I agree that it would be impossible to use it in bed to read ebooks.

Cheers

[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Leonart:
There's several things I dislike about the Paperwhite. It's great for reading, but all of the functions around reading aren't that great in my opinion.

One thing that I hate trying to do with the Paperwhite is take notes. On a tablet, I can swipe, and the keyboard is responsive, and it's learned words in my personal vocabulary, and so on. On the Paperwhite, the keyboard and display is not as responsive, I have to type each letter, the screen sensitivity isn't amazing, and I just find typing on it to be a chore.

The other thing that bugs me is it doesn't support epub, which is just absurd. I know I can do a conversion in Calibre, but I also shouldn't have to. Google Play Books, Nook, iBooks, all support epub. And they should, it's an open format.

Overall, the Kindle isn't very friendly to books acquired outside of the Kindle store. For example, if I upload an epub to Google Play books, I can access that book from any device. Also, if I take notes in that book on the Kindle, those notes aren't synced. Google Play Books will also sync my notes across to devices, even with books that I uploaded instead of bought.

Sometimes the Kindle version of a book is inferior to the versions from other stores. For example, a book I just finished had an irregularly sized right margin on the Kindle store, so the entire book was off-center. This is something that a person less OCD than I could probably just ignore, but the same book on Google Play Books didn't have this problem. So I ended up buying it from there.

There's also PDF support, which the Android version of Kindle has but the eReader obviously doesn't. I don't want to read PDF if I can avoid it, but for certain books, you can't avoid it.

Overall, a tablet gives me more options on where I get my books and how I read them. I can get them from Google Play Books, Amazon, Nook, or any other merchant. Taking notes, highlighting, looking up words or locations, is much easier, and more responsive and interactive. I can use the full Android Goodreads app rather than the severely stripped down version on the Paperwhite, or, hell, I can just go to goodreads.com in the browser.

The Paperwhite's main advantages over a tablet are that it's extremely light, a perfect size of reading, has a long battery life, and is readable in all lighting conditions, and is cheaper than just about any decent/current tablet. But I feel like I'm locked into Kindle's ecosystem, which makes the Paperwhite feel more like a $120 cable box than an eReader in its own right. The lack of epub support in the year 2014 is the biggest indication that they really want you to buy all your books from the Kindle store...I don't like that. A tablet has its own drawbacks, like weight, but it's much more versatile.

I guess it depends on what's important to you.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] drei666:
I agree, my needs are quite different.. i do not take notes and i rarely use the search function.

I do rely on Calibre for my format conversion, as I mostly own only epub files, like the rest of the world. ..

I know, it is a pain. .. but I did a jailbreak and now I work almost entirely with kindle collections created in Calibre.

I almost read only SF, and lots of it ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACTION GAMER:
hello guys

actually im iphone user but im planing to buy s5 906 and bye bye to ios

so there is some phones on ebay says unlocked

that phones for 3g and 4g works in ireland ? becauase i live in ireland

and i have no idea about rooting i know a lot about jailbreak but heard if you root your device warranty will broke so if i unroot the device my warranty back or not ?

as you know s5 prime is new realese there is no custom rom and there is one complicated rooting for this phone so in later easy rooting and custom roms available like other phones ?

i really appreciate your help guys im not familiar with android :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You didn't give us very much information to go on. For instance, you didn't tell us the crucially important information of what carrier you plan to use this phone on. Every carrier uses different frequency bands. AFAIK, the S5 model normally sold in Ireland is the 900F. You are asking about a model that is intended for use in another country and as a result it may only be partially compatible with the frequencies used by your carrier. You can check the specification for the different models to confirm whether they are compatible.

According to Samsung, there is no "S5 Prime". The S5 Prime was rumoured all along, but Samsung swore up and down that it didn't exist. They were lying through their teeth of course and did so in an attempt to encourage higher sales of the original S5 before following with the derivative model. Understandably this deception angered and outraged a lot of Samsung customers who relied upon Samsung's assurances that there would be no S5 Prime model.

As a result of the marketing blunder, the S5 Prime was later claimed to be an entirely different phone and only for far Eastern sales e.g. Korea, China. The net result being that it has a substantially different firmware and seems destined to be something of an orphan like the 900H. Quite likely there were never be an extensive number of custom ROMs available to it now that it has been artificially separated from the original S5 model.

You can root all of the models, but don't count on English (or Gaelic) support for the S5 prime. Or any assurance of many custom ROMs to come. A stock Android will already do most of what an IOS jailbreak aspires to. Rooting is different and more extensive. It's not just the mitigation of some very anal IOS restrictions, it's full access to the OS and most of the flash (which you can't do at all on IOS, even if jailbroken).

Samsung will try to deny warranty claims if you increment the "Knox flag" which is a recent DRM invention. It's tripped if you try to install a custom kernel, recovery or use an older rooting method. However most warranty claims are not made directly with Samsung. Most claims are made through carriers, most of which do not care about Knox. Not to mention that Samsung is running afoul of EU law in trying to deny warranty claims as there is a directive to not arbitrary deny warranty due to rooting.

In any event, you would be wise to stick to a 900F model. If you get a prime, it will always be a struggle to make it do what you want as it will never be fully supported outside of the Asian market.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borgschulze:
I've got this really annoying issue that I keep somehow getting rid of, but it comes back on it's own.

Any sound that plays from the phone e.g. Ringtones, YouTube, Poweramp, etc...

The audio levels get clipped, like something is trying to adjust the gain of the sound, parts that should be loud are not loud, but instead clipped to a really low level.

I've disabled AudioFX, cleared the data for it, and disabled the audio settings within Poweramp.

I've tried to get an example of it with my camera, but of course it's not doing it when I pull out the camera, next time Poweramp does it, I'll record it.

If I receive a call it clips the ringtone sometimes, but I tried calling the phone a second time and it didn't clip.

Really don't know what's going on, just want the audio to work properly.

I'm on 33R, Unlocked Bootloader Rooted.

If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really happy.

Could anyone also recommend an app that's like Poweramp, but free? I like it, but it's not quite right.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borgschulze:
Removed Poweramp and the problem appears to be gone.

Even though I had all the audio settings disabled in Poweramp?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borgschulze:
Still having the issue...

I have no idea what to look for now.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEW999:
I seem to be having the same issue occasionally. It doesn't bother me overly much though. I just don't think the internal speakers of of the highest quality but everything else on this device is superb

I do however believe at least some of the issue is caused by the fact the the speaker grill holes are quite small so when the volume is high a lot of air pressure is created in the speaker cavity which may attribute to the the problem.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borgschulze:
It's purely software.

Happens with the volume at 50% as well.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexii:
I have this issue too. Thought it was my headphones so tried all my pairs and it happens on all of them. Its an issue the Nexus 5 has as well and it has to do with how the phone handles the signal from the towers from you're carrier. As to my knowledge there is no fix for it yet.

Still haven't had the audio clipping issue since switching to SlimKat.

The audio issue was really the only reason I had to even bother trying a ROM other than CM11S.

My experience with SlimKat on I9300 was a no-brainer to be the first ROM to try on my One.

Running PA 4.6 Beta and its horrible. I can't stream one song on Spotify with out it clipping through. May be downloading SlimKat tonight to give it a go.

hi.

i don't know how to post in development forum for this rom/kernel.

some people says having problems with wifi at this time.

i want to say that i'm working extremely well with this combination, good battery too.

(dirty install over b15/x14, flashed old-cam-libs again, dalvik compile because whatsapp don't work with art).

in addition, i don't use hover or halo or heads up because i don't understand those things for now.

i repeat, all is working well and fluid and stable.

the only thing i didn't try yet is fm radio, I have been said to try it using kernel xperience 13.

best regards,

I searched for how do I remove the buttons on my hTC Incredible S and replace it with Soft Keys known as "navigation bar".

to reduce battery usage and give it a new look :laugh:

THIS WILL WORK PROPERLY ON ANY AOSP ROM.. (using Vivokat by szezso in this GUIDE. link;http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519414)

requires Root access and Root explorer App "you can use cyanogemod file manger instead"

first go to setting>buttons>backlight and un-check illuminate buttons.

[IMG="looks like this"]http://i.imgur.com/lEvIRXx.png[/IMG]

then open root explorer.. give it root access.. mount as R/O

go to system>build.prop

and add this code : qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

[IMG="should look like this"]http://i.imgur.com/hEA6kC2.png[/IMG]

save, exit and reboot..

you should have a navigation bar and working buttons BOTH.

if you want too completely disable the original buttons:

go to root explorer then system>usr>keylayout>atmel-touchscreen.kl

and delete the buttons that you don't want.
