So time for a review of the Speck StyleFolio case.

Before I start though, this is replacing my Samsung Book case. So what's wrong with the book case? Well, the following:

No cover retention means it slips around and can open at any time

Limited viewing angles and poor stability in landscape standing up

No cut out for the camera on the front so you have to hold the cover up to take a phone, which is ridiculously awkward.

Limited protection on the sides

So, I hunted amazon for ages looking for a replacement. I knew what I wanted and there are a few cases in the same style as the Speck. I have previously had a Speck with my iPad Mini (now sold, cause it was rubbish :D). I was impressed with the case then so when I stumbled upon their Note 12.2 version I jumped in and ordered one from Amazon. Link below:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Speck-Style...TF8&qid=1423682176&sr=8-1&keywords=Speck+12.2

Now lets face it, this isn't a cheap case. It's £36 in the UK, bit of a rip off considering it's only $35 through Amazon.com LOL. Still there we go, welcome to rip off Britain.

First impressions, this is a SOLID folio case. The cover and back are thicker than the book cover and also the plastic insert where you clip the tablet in, extends around the WHOLE tablet (apart from cutouts for speakers, pen etc.. And this thing is a tight fit, the tablet really clicks into it and the plastic is nice and thick. The only cut out missing which is a little disappointing is the SD card slot. But I guess how many times do you swap cards?

Lets talk about viewing angles. This case is rock solid both standing up in landscape and laid down at an angle. THe groves on the inside of the cover stop the tablet slipping and they do a decent job with 4 positions available. Laying down the tablet has to be turned upside down but once in position, it will NOT move. The book cover was only held by a magnet and could easily slip.

Because the cover opens from the bottom, if you want to take a picture, the cover hangs down allowing both hands on the tablet, excellent! :D.

Finally the clip. There is a plastic clip for the cover which is very solid and locks closed very well. The elastic allows a little movement over the cover and clip.

This case in my opinion is THE best folio case available for the Note 12.2. Because it locks shut, there are no magnets to cause problems, or metal to fall off (as happens to some other cases). The complete all round side protection is perfect and the material/thickness just right.

One last thing. I was torn between a case and a keyboard case. Problem is, I won't use the keyboard that much so having it attached all the time seemed silly. The book cover however wasn't good enough standing up with a BT keyboard, so this case with a external BT keyboard will be perfect I think.

And finally some photos :D
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Accessories] muzzy996:
Yup I love mine as well, replaced a Belkin book cover case with it recently and will never pick up a "smart" cover/folio again. I just had too much issues with pen sensitivity with my prior case.

Thanks for the review!

For reference here's another one that was posted a while back:

Great review of a great case. I've had the Speck case for 6 months, and it continues to provide solid and secure overall protection. I've been very pleased with the quality materials and design which have held up very well. The Speck case is well worth the price to protect this high-end tablet.

Hi

I flashed CM11 on my rooted Samsung S3 LTE which was running stock 3.5. I am thinking of going down to CM10.2. (I hear it isn't as tough on the battery)

Do I just wipe cache and dalvik, factory reset, flash Rom and Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot or is it more complex.

Thanks in advance

Hello Guys,

Need your help.

I have flashed hundreds of roms on my android phones and tablets, but this time something new happened to me:

After installing a t700 Rom using twrp recovery, my tablet got stuck at boot logo, doesn't matter how many resets i try, it never goes beyond the black and whit samsung boot logo!

I have tried to reset using kies, flashed a stock firmware with Odin, etc ect ect, nothing! its still stuck at boot logo.

One curious thing happened, after flashing sock firmwares for the second or third time, the Samsung sounds stops halfway, and then it goes back to the Samsung logo.

Any ideas on how to get out of this nightmare?

Thank you!!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippo2s:
Are you viewing the photos on your computer, tv or on G3 itself?

If on PC or TV, their color saturation and balance will affect what you think is the photos themselves, but infact the colours are pretty good.

No, the color arent that natural. I am a photographer and its pretty easy to see the oversaturation.

Hi, I'm trying to unbrick some GoClever tablet. The only "working" thing is fastboot. Windows can see the device but it says:

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." and I can't install fastboot driver for this device.

When I try to manually update the driver choosen from disk it says that it's not compatible (but my driver is for sure for that device).

I can also run recovery but can't access to shell (no such file /system/bin/sh) and when I pull sh from original ROM it says "permission denied". And I think there is no way to change permissions without access to shell, but I can't access to shell because it doesn't have permission to execute :(

Any way to unrbick this device?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Ok guys, i need some of you to do a bit of testing for me, here is my problem:

When my 3.5G (HSDPA) Data connection is active I cannot make or recieve phone calls.Any incoming call goes straight to voicemail and any number I dial the phone will display "call ended" before it even starts to to ring. The minute I close the data connection the phone works again.

I have done a lot of searching on net and in this forum, some other member are having the same problem. But i think it's only with vodafone, T-mobile don't seems to have this problem. What T-mobile do is to disconnect the data transfer ot reduce it to only 3G while calls comes in. BUt vodafone don't do that, it receive phones ok when in 3g mode but no ok in 3.5g at all. It doesn't switch itself.

So please if you have a vodafone and Athena, try go to Internet, and make sure it's 3.5G, while data is transferring, make a phone call to yourself and see whether it gone through. Please can t-mobile user test it and confirm it does work on your device as well. Thanks

If it's vodafone's problem.....i will have a very long call with them tomorrow then :(

p.s. Please make sure you test it "WHILE" the data transfer is active, so e.g. open up a site in Opera, while is loading, make the phone call, i am guessing for T-mobile, it should switch from 3.5G to 3G to enable to call comes in, but for Vodafone, it won't do that and will just reject the call!!!

Thanks in advance!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] doedoe:
This is the same with all 3.5G devices... Its a problem with the Vodafone HSDPA network.

I was reading about people who purchased a Nokia n95 and got a insert in their box advising that if they experiance problems with in/outbound calls to switch to 3G or GSM!

The only difference between tmob and vodafone is the hardware in the network. tmob is running Nokia HSDPA hardware/software and vodafone use erricson.

My advise it to use the bandswitch application which allows you to turn on HSDPA when needed keeping your device in gsm mode the rest of the time. It will also increase your battery life.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
which application will you suggest? btw this is very very bad for me since i use emoze which is a push mail application, my connection to internet is always on, and it always runs at the highest speed (which is HSDPA). Therefore if i have this application open (must do if i want my mail to get push in), then i can't receive phone calls.......

Looks like T-mobile's one is much better in this case, wonder what they whill say when i phone up tomorrow. I think this is quite a serious problem, while you are tramsmitting data ( e.g. liveTV, liveRadio, push mail, downloading, browsing.......)the phone won't work!!!!

I will have a long discussion about this with Vodafone tomorrow and see whether they can cancel my contract......

So T-mobile one will switch itself from 3.5 G to 3G while call comes in?

HSDPA

Hello

I'm using at the moment 3G can someone tell me if I buy the HTC Advantage well it support HSDPA.

If it does how do I activate it do I need a new sim card or do I call Vodafone which is my service provider to activate the feature.

Thanks

Gigino
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
your question is a bit out of the topic, anyway, of course Advantage support HSDPA, most of the sim card already 3G capable, if some reason you have the old type of sim card, then request a new one. You can tell when you connect your device which type of service you are getting. For vodafone you do not need to activate it, it's already been activate.

Personally, I would use the first link
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
right, thanks for that, i have notice about this application too but don't think is much help here. Basically what i want to do is let my device automatically change from 3.5G to 3G when calls comes in, this program doesn't allow you to do that. It can manually swtich between 3G and GPRS, but not from 3.5G to 3G and not automatically as well.

So here is the situation when you will face problem, if you are using vodafone, and your device is 3.5 capable. When you are browsing on the net, or listen to live radio, or watch live TV, or do PUSH mail, of course you want it to the highest speed and it require you to have continues data transmission, so while you are doing that, you won't be able to receive any phone call at all, it will all goes into your voice message. HENCE you will miss a lot of calls !

From how i see it, this issue is big. And big enough for me to have a long chat with Vodafone and possibility change to T-mobile.

So before i do that, i need to make sure three things, for vodafone user, do you have the same problem? and for t-mobile user, do you NOT have this problem. Is there any ways to fix this?

My contract cancellation fee is about £350 so i need to make sure T-mobile one works before i go ahead, thanks for the help guys.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Hey Wu.

I'm with T-Mob and whilst I can receive and make calls whilst surfing or downloading (so presumably Push e-mail aswell), it is not always as reliable as I would like it to be.

It does work and generally allows simultaneous voice and data transmission, but for some reason it sometimes (only on occasion) will 'pause' the internet/data transmission (specifically download) and break the data connection to allow voice calls but automatically resume the data connection straight after the call.

It's a bit confusing sometimes....but that could be due to not knowing whether I'm on HSDPA or 3G at the time?!?

In any event, it does support the two simultaneously and switching is definitely automatic.

I'd go the T-Mobile route if I were you, If the switch is not too costly for you.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
well, switch is very costly......£350. Once thing you need to make sure is whether you are on HSDPA or 3G, because in 3G, you can have voice and data at the same time with no problem, but in HSDPA, you can't, but even that, the best solution (i think it's the T-mobile solution) is when calls comes in, drop the data speed to 3G to allow calls to comes in, once calls finish, bring up the speed to HSDPA, this case you don't miss any calls. Apparently, this isn't the Vodafone way, for Vodafone, if you are on HSDPA, the system simply don't do anything therefore you miss all your calls.....

Today i have been testing push mail, looks like Microsoft knows this issue too so whey they only boost up to HSDPA when checking mail with server, once it's finish, it's drop to 3G again. So direct push is ok.

But there are some other third party software (most of them!!) which doesn't do this, therefore you will just simply miss the call.

e.g. If you are browsing internet, while the internet is loading, you will just miss all your calls.

I kind of need someone with vodafone to confirm this behavior, but i am 80% sure i am correct, therefore i will call them up tomorrow and see what they say.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tommy1971:
I have tested on 3 Hong Kong using 3.5G, I was downloading a 6M file using ftp client and the transfer rate > 100kByte/s (so it must be using HSDPA) and the indicator shows "H" instead of "3G", I made a call from my other phone and it rings! So i guess it's the Vodafone problem instead of U1000.

i doubt Vodafone is the only one, basically is to do with their network hardware and protocol, if other company uses the same, you will be in the same situation with me.

I have a Hermes through Vodafone and recently flashed with AKU 3.31 so can tell when I am connected via HSDPA. I am using FlexMail 2007 and I have been having the same problem that you describe. Some of my incoming calls go straight to voicemail, paricularly since with the IMAP IDLE function on FlexMail is frequently connecting. When I try to make calls I end up having to close FlexMail before making a call. By coincidence, I just contacted T-Mobile yesterday, and I found two other reasons for switching: 1) Web 'n Walk -- up to 1GB per month under their fair usage policy, the closest I have found to unlimited data in the UK and at a very reasonable price, and 2) Business One Plan which allows you to use your inclusive minutes for calls to North America and Europe for no extra charge. The only downside that I can see with switching to T-Mobile is that sms bundles are separate, while with Vodafone they are included in the data packages, and I will lose access to Vodafone Text Centre, which allows me to send sms messages from my computer within Outlook over the internet (and interestingly counts these as sms messages sent from the UK no matter what country I am in, so all messages I send using this are included in my bundle).
