No, still waiting here also. I've got the same delivery window dates as I do for the TPU case I referred to above (between 9/17 and 10/1). The Rick Smart seller also shipped quickly and answered pretty much right away when I asked him a question (whether that case includes port protectors, because in some but not all pics it kind of looked like it, but it doesn't; think is pretty much the same as all the other cases in this style). So I'm expecting that fairly soon also... Will post my impressions when it arrives.

Ed Murray - lol man, that's my life story right there! You come across some new style (or even a "better" version of something I already have, even though, the one I have is completely fine, or I only checked out for a couple days then never used again)... but it's only $10 +/- X... It'd be crazy not to throw down an order to check this one out! Example? No prob! This Rick Smart case... I have super low expectations of it being "daily-driver" worthy, but it's a really interesting looking style and IMO easily worth $10 to satisfy my curiosity. I mean, sure, it could be super awesome, and will end up never being taken off my N3, but my impression without having even seeing one in person is that it's pretty likely that the novelty of the style trumps the practicality. This is based only on perception, which is likely biased by having ordered several super cheap cases that "look kind of interesting" but turn out to be relative duds...

So I hope this one will be cool and practical, but I'm sure it'll be interesting if nothing else, and thanks to the OP for bringing them to our attention :)

Sorry guys, perhaps my typo causing some mis-interpretation. Please read ROCK smart case. Anyone can help me-is it possible to change/correct my thread title ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
Actually, I semi-remember some of them being called that when browsing on eBay... but the super quick search I just tried to confirm that did not support that mis-semi-rememboratory (that is a word). I only looked at the first page of results... so it's possible that I came across some called that since they were (less-blatant) knockoffs, or because of some kind of "mistranslation" or something, but I suppose it's equally possible that I'm just "tripping" ;)

So either way you're correct, but don't sweat a typo in the title if it can't be changed; searching for either seems to bring you to the same results.

anyone got theirs yet?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xForsa:
i wouldn't personally because i like to use my phone while im on my bycicle and i want to be able to slip it into my pocket directly without a flappy cover slapping everywhere i dont want it:laugh:

but overall it has a very original and classical feel over it, it sure looks very nice.

i would buy it if there would be a solution to having a cover infront of the screen but still being able to use it as usual.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Mine still in transit ! Eagerly waiting ! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sinnerFA:
Anything yet??? TIA.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I have two of these now. The company I purchased it from sent me a second for free... from China.

The case is built very well. It's a snap in style, not a backplate replacement type lime Samsung. The lid fits solidly over the screen and is semi transparent.

The app (Dr.V) that comes with it is decent. It uses the proximity sensor to toggle the smart view screen AND increases screen brightness to 100% and also enables your screens auto sensitivity setting so you can use the phone through the lid.

The app works pretty good. It's got a few kinks but nothing real noticeable.

Getting the app is confusing because it's on a fully Chinese website. I have the apk on Dropbox if anyone here wants it. Just send me a PM if so. The instructions are also in chinese.

All in all its a good buy and has a classy look to it. If I can answer another question for you, please let me know.

Hope this helps.

I will add photos shortly...

Can't wait to see your pics!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Received !

Hello All,

Just to let you know I received my case during the weekend. Was kind of very busy of late.

The case is very well-built, feels solid in the hands.

Downloaded the APK, and installed it. Unfortunately, it needs serial number provided in the shipped documents for activation of the software. Once installed, you get the different settings related with the usage.

As indicated, this is a snap-on type of case, although I have tried to snap it with my battery door removed. Works flawlessly as well.

I have been successfully able to use the interface.

You can swipe to get your music player, apart from seeings your notifications. Works like a charm.

I normally use IBM Lotus Notes as my company, and I do not get this (or any other e-mail) notification.

It would be nice to have these on.

Will post some pics soon !

Overall, I am not dissapointed with the case. Does what it should.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jubmasterflex:
Would love to see some photos! *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Here comes some of the pictures I just shot. PLease bear with the image quality, though, it's been taken by my decent HTC Desire HD.

You have some shots for the physical appearance of the case, and also when the note3 is inserted, with the cut out for ports, mic, speakers. Please note that there is no protection for the sides of the phone, though, like many other flip cases I have seen.

You will also see the application (Dr. V Smart Cover) which you need to download in order to 'communicate' with the flip actions.

You also have other application specific settings which you can tinker with. For example, the brightness is by default set to increase when flip is closed, in order to have a better readability. I have tried to change this, and make the brightness to remain at the same level when closing the flip - it is still readable (indoors). To note, for this review sake, I have put the default brightness setting, for photo-shoot sake.

Smart UI:

Double tap on clock to toggle between digital/ analog.

Swipe from right to left on area below clock (Main UI) to bring on music player.

You can see UI when call is received, from which you can interact to accept/ reject calls. For missed call, you can tap on the icon and get the details. Same applies for messaging (without opening flip)

Hope this was helpful.

Let me have your feedback guys.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kdoggamonus:
looks pretty sweet, does it add on a lot of thickness?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Nope, the case is pretty much slim. AFAIK, I find it slimmer than the Samsung Smart View flip cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Anyone else got their Rock Smart case delivered ?

What are your impressions please ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kdoggamonus:
Awesome. I want one now lol, but all of them ship from China. On eBay they also show theres different colors, but nobody has them in stock
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Haven't seen them. But didn't check it lately, anyways..

I think the black one will be best, since it is relying on contrasting colors for visibility through the translucent flip cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aldouse:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I now own the note 4 and have this case still. Would be willing to sell and ship it. Pm me if anyone wants it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
I want the note4 :fingers-crossed: :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ed Murray:
It's a wonderful device. The camera is miles ahead of the note 3 camera. Optical image stabilization is amazing, and HDR looks awesome.

The metal body gives the phone a really good feel, and believe it or not it's narrower than the Note3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] server5:
Be forewarned... I ordered the back plate version and they shipped the snap in type. Make sure you check which one they ship cause both look the same.

The digital clock is only military 24H style or analog. The app is not on the market and runs two services consuming about 40-50mb of memory! The rock lock screen plays nice with other lock screens and there is a nice peal away function to resume back to normal funtion.

If I change my mind on the rock app,

I'll place an s-view chip on the back and added a small magnet on the bottom of the flap to trigger sview as a future option, tested - works fine. (Magnet would have to be embedded or glued)

For 10bucks shipped its worth it.

Edit: if you plan on using the 3.0 high speed USB cable with this case/cover you will find the cable does not fit correctly or makes a loose connection. You will have to mod (dremel) the port opening by 2mm to make it fit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aldouse:
I just got mines in today too! the Dr.V App is decent. There is a disclaimer about increased battery usage if using Auto Wake-up screen. It's pretty cool that you can turn off this feature, so that the flip cover will only work when covering the screen and it wont wake the phone up when you open it. You'll need to manually press the power/home button to wake the phone up.

My only wish: the Dr.V app would show all my other notifications as well; not just the incoming calls and missed calls.

Note: Music Player: only defaults to the stock music player; haven't figured out how to change to Pandora or Google Music.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Would like to see any photo of your modded sview :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xuanbao:
Well this just happend to me also. I don't want the snap-in version. Let's see what the seller can offer me.

For now dont buy from this ebay seller: hellofrank821103 , if you want the batterycover version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TorontoR:
Just got this case for the Note 4, it is well built BUT unusable for me. It was not tested properly when they cut the mould for this. With the case on, I get terrible audio going through to the other end when I am on a call. Other party says there is a small echo or they can't hear me at all. On the same call, if I were to remove the case, the sound goes through just fine. When I look in the bottom, there are two mic holes at the bottom of the phone, looks like one cut out is fine and I can see the hole, but the other one is completely blocked. Perhaps this is whats causing the issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] server5:
Update:

I found someone who does carry the back cover version and ordered it - we'll see...

The propriety cover app Dr.V has been update v.2. So now the are less resources about 20+mb but higher battery drain 20%!

I installed the old version with higher ram resources to compare and battery drain was consistent with 16% still too high in my pinion. So it's a trade off, less ram - short battery or more ram longer battery. I will contact the developer to see if he can tweak this better as I'm sure there are tons that can be improved on.

Keep in mind I use the cover in full power mode (ie. screen sensor) to which I'm sure contributes to battery drain.

Overall, quite happy with this case design.

Regarding s-view - There are two magnets that acts as triggers. The case alleady has one near the top to operate with the Dr.V app. A second magnet has to be added (embedded) on the lower left corner about an inch up from bottom for sview. Adding the magnet plus sview chip will overide Dr.v and work well through the cover but extra screen sensitivity must be turned on which Dr.v already does by default (another minor battery drain) you can write notes through cover just fine etc. Im still playing around with modding the case in different ways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] serseri22:
Will this case work on N9005 model coz it's says only for n9000 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] server5:
If the model is the exact dimensions then it should.

Update: v2 of Dr.V is bad. Battery consumption went up to 33%! Stick with v.1 for now or dump and use sview...

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] serseri22:
I should receive mine today let's see if I like it :D:D:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] server5:
After additional testing, I am concluding that the Dr. V App v.1 or v.2 is bad.

Both version of app consumes way too much battery. The app works by relying on enabling the following:

1. Maximum screen sensitivity - On

2. IR Cover sensor full time stanby - On

3. Dr. V app itself consuming 22 - 30%

The net result is a total battery over- consumption of Aprox 38% or 43%

When I removed the the app and services, battery consumption instantly dropped back to normal depletion levels.

Its a shame the app failed to work properly because the case is a neet idea. The delevoper does not post the app on android market.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oj0:
Until Friday, I was able to get up to 4 days worth of use out of my phone with a screen on time of about 2.5 hours. Standby hardly did anything to the battery, I was losing about 1% every 8 hours. On Saturday I did the ANG3 update (G900HXXU1ANG3) and since then my battery has been dropping several percent per hour. I have done multiple restarts, drained the battery completely and recharged and double checked that I haven't installed any other applications or made changes to the phone. Over the last 14 hours I have dropped from 100% to 68% with a screen on time of 47 seconds. GPS is off, location services are off, mobile data is off, screen rotation and gestures are off, etc. Only Wi-Fi is turned on (basically how I've used the phone since I got it at the beginning of August).

Any help would be appreciated :(

Just some more info - I am running an unrooted phone with stock Samsung firmware, I haven't and don't plan on flashing to anything else. Full info as follows, just in case:

Security software version: MDF v1.0 Release 3

Is it possible to go back to ANG2 or earlier? I am quite confident flashing custom ROMs using recovery mode but I'm lost with stock. Is it recommended I try anything else before flashing to an older ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAQUiNitA:
This is odd. I Did the same update with no problems.

But I do have my S5 SM-G900H rooted and I have disabled some starting apps with "all in one" and using "Greenify" to hibernate some apps.

I have all locations turned on. Inclusive GPS. Power consumption is fine.

I'been sleeping so. Screen active is 2hs30min. Quite fair I guess

I would re flash the Rom. And root it, you can squeeze the stamina with Only those 2 apps I Mentioned before.

Hi all,

I have Molski's 30MB G3 Rom (3rd Release) installed on my Wizard. Using Activesync, I can not browse the Windows directory from my PC. I used Resco Explorer and checked the permissions/properties of the Windows directory. I removed the Read-only, Hidden, Archive, and System flags from the directory and still no change.

If I try to type in the \Windows into the address bar while browsing the PPC it bumps me to the C:\Windows.

Once I check the permissions again on the windows directory, the flags I turn off are still checked again...

Hello,

A friend of mine recently bought on the Internet a Moto G which turned out to be carrier-locked. Now, I have no idea to what carrier it is locked and so I am asking you this: apart from the obvious solution which is cellunlocker.net, is it possible to root the phone, install a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod and use it with whatever carrier?

What woud you suggest for someone in our predicament?

Thank you!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
You can probably unlock the bootloader and root the phone, despite it's carrier locked. That won't remove the lock tho and you won't be able to use it on another carrier just like that.

On the other hand you can always buy an unlock code off ebay for 2 euro or so.

Thanks, liveroy! Just a quick question as I've never had to do this, if you don't mind: does it matter that I don't know the carrier to which the phone is locked?

About the Carrier from the Original Question : The model Number like on my e5. : XT 1924-6 That dictates the Carrier. Look by the battery and google the number.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahardin:
NOT a Boot Loop.. To be clear.

So today at Pax prime, i'm surfing reddit waiting to play EVOLVE (TOTALLY awesome) when a friend comes over to say hey. I put phone in pocket, conversation ends, I pull phone out, and its off.

I try to turn back on and nothing. I take battery out, put it back in and it instantly vibrates and does nothing else.. I try said approach about 800 times and nothing. I find that when i put battery in, its like as soon as the contacts touch it replicates the power button. So i try to boot into recovery by sliding battery in and quickly positioning my fingers on + and Home buttons, and in the upper left it says Recovery boothing.

Then nothing else happens.. I try downloading. This results in the downloading warning and what not, then gives me the option to + into downloading mode or the - to cancel. Then the screen shuts off. . Curious, I try this again, and before I finish reading the whole warning and all yellow text, it turns off again.. SO i'm like.. hmm battery. Charge for 6 hours and wait in insane lines. . . Go back to phone. Try downloading again... and same behavior.. This time instead of reading I hit + and it gets into DL mode then turns off... I repeat but faster and then faster and faster again, and it just turns off. I timed it and my phone will only stay actively on for 5 seconds exactly from the point of contact on the power source and the vibration as if the phone was turned on.

I cannot connect to computer to ODIN or do anything else to it to get it to behave for more than these precious 5 seconds...

NO idea whats going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
