Anyone try the boxwave cast with verizon yet?

Has anyone tried the new boxwave case with the verizon GN? It has a volume cutout which I want. I will probably also pick up an extended battery. Link:

Save yourself the worry/hassle and just leave the phone at home for the night. You will thank yourself, I promise. Nothing good ever comes out of going out and getting wasted with expensive gadgets. You could have the greatest night of your life but it will all fade away as soon as you wake up the next morning and find your screen cracked, enclosure scuffed, etc.
I have a cheap backup phone I use for nights like those.

Ha, good idea. Even though Ive never lost or broken my phone while going out most weekends I think I will use my old droid for new years. Those open bars always kill me, and I dont want to risk it.

There you go. Then you won't have to worry about a thing.

what DONT you like about the note 2?

Well, I'm coming from the note 1 and the difference is like night and day! Aside from the beastly specs, the feel is just so incredible! ! But this isnt a thread about all the things you love about the phone, it's about what you don't. I'll start.
PLEASE DONT MENTION MULTIWINDOW. I'M PISSED OFF TO.
Not a fan of the amount of time it takes to turn on when you press the power button, meaning wake up time...
I'M OUT!!

My biggest issue with the Note 2 is that it keeps me from doing real work or wanting to see my family or shave or take a bath or sleep. I should be sleeping now but guess what i am doing, tweaking the layout, testing apps that never really worked on older phones. Aahhhhhhh, see my frustration?

Which apps do you mean if you dont mind my asking?

lol interesting thread - i've had my note for a total of 2.5 hours so far (side by side with my S3) and i've got to say (having used the original note) the overall feel is nice, very rounded, a bit slippery perhaps (nothing a skin cant fix)
the pen still feels lighter than i'd like and the button is a bit more recessed than i'd like
the home button is awesome and much more responsive than my stock s3
a similar complaint to my s3 but when grabbing the device from the bottom edge, i have a tendency to tap the menu / back buttons on accident, a bit annoying when not using a case
the glass is nice, the feel of the pen on the screen is much more controlled than the original
nfc, yay! google wallet downloaded, would message ' not compatible' on open and shut itself down... boo..
the volume and home button have a nice confident click and feel compared to the s3 and original note...
i posted my grey'd positive comments in your other thread...

Man... youre right about the home and volume buttons... i forgot

Google Wallet not working.
Lack of multi windows.
The pen feels a bit cheap still (loved the feel of the Palm Tungsten metal ones that were telescopic). Though fixable as I think I'll get a dual use pen/pointer to keep in pocket/briefcase, I'm a fairly large bloke too, so having that larger pen will help too, this current one isn't really of a decent size/thickness/weight to use for long periods of time, I think my hand would 'claw' up.
Lack of cases for a while (the official 'flap' one is good, got it at last but was making me twitchy not having it protected. Wish there was a good/cheap pouch type case to slide it in for extra protection). And/or the 'flap' phone case, the front of it, the actual flap, is wonderful to touch, but the back is the same uber slippery plastic that the default one is. Can NFC not be done through a very slightly thicker case with a built in rubberised coasting, as the Nexus7 has? This thing is still very, very slick, and I can see with slightly sweaty hands, I'll need to be extra careful.
The built in Samsung Keyboard (that is SO incredibly good with the Swype/cool T9 like swype functionalty/left/right handed), but doesn't scale to other resolutions if you tweak the lcd dpi. REALLY a great keyboard, please make it scale! No, best keyboard I've ever used, and it's keeping me from tweaking the dpi.
The knowledge that when I do inevitably flash CM on this, I'll probably end up losing TMobile wifi calling, that for me, is working wonderfully.
Touch wiz is mildly... odd. But not as bad as seen before, JB's ability to disable things is really helping. But what annoys me somewhat is the different functionality for no other reason than to do it different it appears, and needing a few extra apps (like the photo editor) downloaded when built in apps rely on it.
Oh, no 32mb NII's in TMobile, and so much of the 16GB filled with Bloatware (steady Cyanogenmod, steady... your day will come).
So, all pretty minor (hopefully constructive) criticisms. Overall, still mad impressed with this phone. All phones should have the option to have it work with a stylus as well integrated as this.
If I had the chance to order things to be fixed;
Wifi Calling for Tmobile as an installable app so I'd be less twitchy about flashing with other roms.
Rubberised back.

My personal gripe, is about how much my GN2 looks and feels like an iPhone. In everyway, from the straight lines, to the rounded corners, and don't get me started with the app drawer. The smoothness of page transitions, Google Now.
OK.. I was just kidding guys! LOL.
My real gripes -
1 the on/off button on the exact opposite side of the device as the volume rocker. They should have put it up on top.
2 No dedicated camera button.
3 I always loved scrollable wallpaper, which I feel I shouldn't need to root, and re-rom for it.
4 No auto spell correct from the stock Samsung keyboard.
5 Oh yeah, NO [email protected]#$KING MULTI-SCREEN. - sorry, had to get that one in.

The battery life is too good. The phone is too gorgeous.

Only gripe is the call volume being a bit on the low side even when maxed. Speaker is loud enough though.
I'm sure they're apks to tweak it a bit but I'm too busy enjoying the phone so i'll search for a fix later.

Somerhing for me is the screen keeps timing our evn with the option checked to see my eyes... also when it goes out and I press home button it goes home instead of waking up to the app I was on. Everyother phone did not do this. Is this just me or is there a setting?

I came from the S3, and love everything about my Note 2. I can't say one bad thing about it.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

Size once in a while, I'm 5'7 so I guess that means I have smaller hands? For the most part I dont have an issue but some times my hand gets fatigued from using it too much...Not complaining but sometimes I wish they kept the 5.3 and made it narrower it'd be perfect for me.

I don't like that we can't use our S-Pen on our soft keys. It would be great to be able to hit the menu and back buttons with the pen and have them respond.

i dont like the physical home button,but not enough to keep me from buying it, i think next year it will be all cap.buttons.oh well i'll get it when its available

What do you guys mean when u say no multi windows ? I have a gs3 and really weighing if is worth getting the note 2 or sticking with the gs3 or the nexus 4 but thats another story

There's a cheaper one thats a non-brand, and works as well. Just search for a bluetooth keyboard on Amazon. It's called the Vostrostone Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard, but really, there are comparable ones that are about the same quality without the big brand name.

I have this keyboard and find it really good due to the spaced out keys. http://www.amazon.de/Cherry-JK-0600...VFOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361754736&sr=8-1

Ok so here's my feedback after about a week or two of use.
- It's a solid keyboard case (not as good as the Zagg/Logitech cases I used to own when I had an iPad) but it's about 80% there in terms of build quality.
- the velcro holding the keyboard in place is a little on the flimsy side so a good knock could force the keyboard to disconnect, but it hasn't been a problem for me so far
- Using it in your lap on the couch can be a bit challenging as the tablet will sit at a pretty steep angle against the top of the keyboard and may fall backwards if you fidget too much. I was used to the hard keyboard lip in the case of the zaggfolio for the ipad which kept the ipad in place with significant fidgeting. Not a major issue though.
- Battery life on the keyboard is fine for 3 or so weeks if you use it every day for some typing
- the leather of the case feels a little cheap but again that's just me being picky
- Finally something very odd seems to have cropped up, and I'm correlating it to about the same time I started using the case. My gmail app will randomly crash (when I am in another app) and the tablet will freeze for 5 seconds and then give a popup window telling me that it crashed, I just click ok and carry on... but I don't remember ever having this issue before I got the case. I think it may somehow be correlated to the magnets in the case (to keep the little flap/clasp down when the tablet is being used) affecting the tablet somehow but I am not sure. I'll try to go a few days without it to see if it makes a difference but I'm getting quite used to it now!
All things begin said, this is definitely the best combo available for the Note 10.1 that I've found to date and I've scoured the internet for months.... I've also begged Zagg to make one but they aren't seeing enough interest to justify it yet.

That would be extremely unlikely. It's probably due to a syncing issue between your tablet and Google's servers.

hmm.... I only jumped to that conclusion because I never noticed the problem in any real frequency before getting the case... I cleared cache in the app settings and I'm still having the issue. I was hoping I wouldn't have to clear data because it took a lot of time setting up my corp email (we use gmail) folders and settings.... but I may have to try that if this persists.

I wouldn't. Data wipes are hardly ever necessary, with the exception of full-on bootloops.
Google "google sync errors" first. Does it happen when your BT is off?

good

So I haven't correlated it to BT being on or off but perhaps it is related to the BT because I only noticed it when I started using the keyboard or when it interferes with watching a video (usually when I'm on the treadmill using a BT headset).... so perhaps it is tied to BT being on... I'll use the tablet for a while tomorrow with BT being off to see if that makes a difference.

Where is the screenshot button?

I know there's the s-pen and the hardware buttons, however, I remember on the 10.1 note original there was a screen capture icon on the dock. Is there a way to get this feature back?.

Is there another way, its a bit hit and miss though more miss really to be practical.

Hold the power button down while also holding the raised home button. It will take a screen shot for you.

Its actually easier than you think! You have to use your whole Handheld edge resting on the screen.
When you get it, it is easier and faster than any other method.

Just becaues of the palm screenshot thing? there are many ways to take screenshots you know. There are even apps for that and the S-Pen or power+home button methods work just fine.

Yes that makes sense, downgrade your tablet where getting a new case would be an easier option. Best you get an ipad for ease of use I think :silly:

The biggest fail of Galaxy S4

Today i got my s4 lte t835n, tablet is great... but... intelligent scanner (iris+face) is totally useless, it only works for unlock device... just this... cant use to log (as fingerprint reader on s3) bank, car app, lastpass, bitcoin wallet... i mean, now, when open bank app have to type password.... same on all sensitive apps... cant believe this, i was very exited with the option to use inteligent scan to replace fingerprint reader but now im very dissapointed, hope they fix with an update but i doubt...

I'm pretty sure Samsung pass lets you do this. I'm finding the iris scanner pretty useless even to unlpckijg

Comes close to dealbreaker.
Miss fingerprint so much that I am back to the s3.
Have ten more days to return...
Also NOVA gives me problems. Dock only on the right possible in landscape. Impossible location.
Also much heavier than the 3.
Iris etc do not work. I use glasses=unusable...
And I seem to block the camera. Why not on top of the screen?
Because there is no button as reference lift it many times upside down.
Never had problems with the s3 speed, so....

I do not play games. But on the S3 i have huge 10gb+ films. All works fine with VLC.
Maybe the 4 is faster, but no idea what that speed advantage is giving me...
Also the size is less perfect. I like to use it in bed, and a wider and heavier tablet like th S4 is much less handy.
I have it in my hands now but still think of returning it.
my note 9 btw is a different ballgame..?

Nova works great for me...
Inteligent scanner (face+iris) works great with and without prescription glasses, not with sunglasses

I'm finding the best place to have my tablet held for the iris scanner to work best, think I was too close before

How about in the dark with the scan?
Nova can have the Dock horizontal? How? Help me

I turned it all off the first week... I got very frustrated with intelligent scan. Major fail. I looked like an idiot when on the the floor walking trying to unlock it only to fail. and in the dark? worse . I had it a short time at this point and maybe I'm doing something wrong. but I just got my note 9 and I have no issues with IS .. other than a small delay

Identical to my problem. Note 9 I use fingerprint BTW.
And also smart lock for my location is instable.
I use glasses.

Hold if further away from your face

Yes I thought so! I did put my location come to think of it, but it never managed to stay unlocked.

Aha, started gps test on both s4 and note 9.
On s4 I get no fix at all with 24 sats in view.same problem as with the tab s3.
Note 9 gives accuracy of 128m on same place in my appartment.
That's why smartlock does not always work.
I cannot leave my tablet unprotected.any solution?

The Nova thing is fixed by changing the display size one notch down. Leave the nova settings for Dock on automatic and the Dock will jump from side to bottom.

The black smear is annoying too
