So I have seen all the posts for the cases but can't seem to find anywhere in the US that has any info on when they will be available. I know last year when I got my N2 the folio cases were available in the store that day. I called a few ATT stores and all they have is the incipio case that doesn't offer wireless charging. Does anyone have any info on these Samsung brand cases?
This site shows them "due in 2-3 weeks" http://www.mobilefun.com/40790-offi...-3-s-view-wireless-charging-cover---black.htm
No luck my friend I can't find it either. I don't think I've seen such a premature phone release when it comes to accessories for this phone.

Yeah I'm really disappointed with the lack of accessories! I don't want to buy a regular case and then turn around and purchase a wireless charging case 2-3 weeks later.... Ended up selling my AT&T Note 3 in favor of the T-mo n900t, already running a custom rom and on att lte
I'm sorta miffed, too. I think they want to see how the phone will do before they start churning out accessories. I can't figure out why they don't add features without changing the form factor, at least as far as legacy compatibility is concerned.
I ordered a $4 TPU case and a Skinomi (wet application) screen protector. I like to have a cheap (or just durable) backup case option for camping, and for the possibility of getting a new device under insurance because of theft or total destruction. But still, this is a lot of weeks to be waiting for a feature included on their previous release. And for the time being: this (as of 10 Oct, 2013) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Qi-Wireless-charging-Receiver-Charger-Adapter-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-III-/321228364804?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4acab3dc04
tell me about it, im waiting for the protective cover+
I ordered wireless charging kit here (presumably shipped, but I didn't get it yet):

Also, I saw S-view flip covers at BestBuy in Toronto. They look very nice...

Go to the T-mo note 3 forums and you'll see they got custom roms already due to the unlockable bootloader..

only much easier without having to tap into the USB port. I got two for my "old" S3 for about US$12 each. If my measurements are right, I'm just going to snip the space between the two contacts and stick it in sideways on the Note3 battery, slightly too high, but not enough to let the coils be too off. I usually don't post my hacks, but if this one works and does it before anything gets released, or if everything released is still as expensive as it is now, I might.

So, really essentially, inductive charging is spinning magnets hopping up a copper coil so much it sends the extra energy into the battery as an electrical charge (I imagine with some other metals it might've been heat). Hopefully the coil doesn't have to be too precisely placed to get enough charge.
I'm seriously thinking about investing in Neodymium mining.
I aslo went to the Tmo store today. It's a little one. They had one S-View cover without inductive charging for US$60. The guy, who had one (no Qi) on his new Note3, indicated on a spreadsheet on the "register" screen that the inductive charging ones will be $70 only at the Sammy (Tmo has dedicated Samsung centers)) stores, and I only saw black (BLK).
I really want to see what color the "red" one is. I saw it listed as "pink" somewhere, but I imagine they might have had it mixed up with the light pink (more of a dirt-magnet than the white IMHO) because a lot of the photos of them look rather pinkish or maroonish. I've seen a couple of shots of branded flip covers that look really (really) red, some that look almost brick, and of course a bunch I might call magenta only because I think it's a word to describe a color without another descriptor (that Tmo borrowed because actually calling it what it is, Hot Pink, completely alienates about 50% of its clientele).
Anyone see any color out there?

there are pictures of the red case on engadget or android central, i forget where i saw them, it's indeed red and not pink, like a apple red kind of.
i ordered one from the att store when i picked up my note, i'm wondering if it's a wireless charging one since it was like $70 but whatevs. i've also seen some on craigslist here and there
mobilefun.com states that they are expecting to ship orders tomorrow, having just got paid I went ahead and ordered one, here's to hoping for the best!

The email that I got saying that they were delayed said they'll get them 10/24 (oct), hopefully there won't be any further issues!
wondering whether to cancel mobilefun order as they have again postponed delivery saying stocks coming 31st oct. 2nd time they have postponed the dates. looks like they are taking the piss, stating earlier dates to get more orders when all websites dont have any confirmed date.
So please excuse my ignorance here, but could I just buy one of those inductive charge stickers made for the note 3 and use that with any back plate? Just get any Qi charger for it to work with? Thanks all. New to the whole inductive charger thing.

yes you could but the s view functions wouldnt work with the 2 pin receivers and i dont know if it will even work with the 3 pin receivers.
please note that the n3 has 3 ins at the back near the wireless charging and 2 for nfc but of the 3 pins only top 2 are for wireless charging and the third is for s view functions colour changing of screen etc as far as my info goes.
will let you know in a few days as i have orders pending delivery for official and generic types and will test them out with several of my wireless chargers. my orders have been delayed 2-3 times already and dont know when they will come as have placed them a while back. it doesnt seem to be in stock anywhere.
You are correct.
You are correct i got one of the stickers and a wireless charger and have the regular s-view case and the case no longer works, im wondering if i can somehow solder the contacts togeter without messing it up but for 11 bucks the wireless charging does work pretty well. Through the galaxy charge app im getting around 650 not the 1800 i would get from the 3.0. However i dont have to worry about plugging it in or messing up my port now. will keep you informed.

So the foil trick did not work, or at least i could not get it to work as the foil yanked off one of the contacts on the charger. It looks like the sview uses the bottom two and the charger uses the top two. I sometimes wish i never watched macgyver as a kid. But it still works just no sview functions but i really didnt use it much anyways as you are stuck with stock samsung music apps.

thats a nice idea - but what would it plug into? there are no contacts for a wireless charging case to actually get the voltage into the phone on my International G2.
I don't see how LG will ever make one to be honest..
Just a heads up, the new dodge dart has a qi pad in it and u can buy a thing that plugs into the charging port and sticks to a case and charges via a qi pad, however they r not available yet but will be soon. Not much details other than a pic and description during training but it looks promising as sine kind of generic device. It appears to stick to the back of a tpu type case and they show it on an iphone and what looked like an s3/note2 possibly, but it was a goofy footprint shaped maybe 1/8" thick thing shaped like a snowman with two circles one the size of a quarter and the other a little bigger than a Eisenhower with a wraparound piece that plugged into the micro plug. It doesn't look horrible but definitely weird and doesn't explain any details like how it deals with an upside down Jack or phone thicknesses. They also list a couple other case styles such as a silicone jacket looking thing on an iphone and a Jack that went to a small square pad. Its to drop with the 14 dart, which we are ordering now. Just saw it today though.

Looks interesting, but I couldn't find it in any shop.
I found this one instead on ebay: Type A Micro USB Qi Wireless Universal Charger Tag Receiver Coil For LG G2 New
Maybe with this you can build your own Qi Case with any standard case. I bought one and will report if and how it works.
Hmm, that's pretty cool. Didn't know they made those, that makes it quite a bit easier.
I found one which seems quite a bit cheaper and doesn't include a case, ect.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Q...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2584a5f312
Who wants to give it a try lol..
I really wish LG would come out with something by now. The phone has been out for a while and they should have released the case they announced by now.
I just ordered one of these. That said, because I have no existing charging mats/plates around, I'll have to order some right away. Since this solution uses the usb port, that means unlike native solutions, I cannot both charge by cable and by wireless. I'll have to completely switch over to wireless for the most part.
So did any of the earlier posters end up getting any of these? Any feedback?
Let us know how it works, I'll probably bite the bullet and get one too. Which one did you order?

The only problem with that is, you would have to unplug it if you wanted to plug the phone into a pc and say transfer files. Sure there are wireless means of doing that, but some people would rather a physical connection to transfer.

With how often I really do that since LTE is faster than residential comcast, I'd rather just unplug the charger when I needed to. Anything I need on or off my phone is generally just synced to dropbox because that's where I'm gonna need it anyways.

I ordered this one, from eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/350926538893
I was skeptical that it included the cover as it didn't specify but it did ask me to pick a colour, so we'll see, heh.
I hope someone can help me. I bought my wife a Note 4 last week and a few days ago she says that it is charging real slow. After trouble shooting I just exchanged her phone and the guys at T-Mobile said it was bad. The problem is, now my phone is doing the same thing. Like her charger fried my usb port. It will charge slowly, like 80% when it is plugged in all night. And the computer can no longer see it. I tried changing the rom and that didn't help. I can't odin it back to stock because it is no longer visible to the computer. I called T-Mobile, and they said it isn't working right because my phone is rooted. Since when can they tell that from over the phone? Any way, I can just change batteries everyday for the next 6 months until my phone is able to Jump, but do you guys have any idea how to fix this. Also, it no longer says that an adaptive fast charger is attached. Can I take it back to full stock without odin? Thanks in advance.
Let me understand this, is it not charging properly on the charger or when you're charging it on USB that's connected to your computer?
First of all why does Tmobile know your phone is rooted?
Never tell them that. Thankfully if you need an exchange just call 611 and talk to a different person.

3rd,
Reinstall the Samsung drivers on your computer.
Use a different USB to micro USB cable when connecting to your computer.
If still a no go use another computer. Install the Samsung drivers, use a different cable.
If still a no go use a different copy of Odin. I prefer 3.04.
---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------
Additionally,
You can still wipe the system in the team win recovery.
I'd try that.
I'd try a different version of Odin before I tried another computer.
And, yes you can go back to stock in recovery. Wipe cache, Dalvik cache, data, then flash a stock rom.

I want to know how they knew it was rooted. He told me he can see that it is rooted and that he couldn't help me. That's why I was hesitant to call back. I would love to be able Odin it back to stock recovery and stock rom but I'm thinking that it is a hardware issue because I have tried so many things, different Odins, another computer, at least 5 different cables. Have you ever heard of T-Mobile knowing when a phone is rooted? Thanks for the help, by the way.
So I installed a nonrooted rom and called back T-Mobile, and they have cancelled my warranty and I have to go through insurance to get a new phone. I'm pretty sure it is because the My T-Mobile app tells them when your phone is rooted. I didn't know this. Such crap. So I guess everyone should be aware of this. I'm just going to ride out my Jump period, then Jump to a cheap phone and quit T-Mobile.
I think i was known fact that tmobile app reports if phone is rooted or not. You need to disable it and they cant see phone status.

I have the same problem. Used FireKat Rom. Something zapped the USB port or board. Charges super slow, luckily I have wireless charging as an option. USB port is messed up, always showing up as "unrecognized" device on any computer, including Tmobile's trouble shooter at the store. So Odin is out of the question. Tried exchanging batteries and chargers with the wife's (untampered) Note 4. Still doesnt work. Even tried other Roms.
Luckily, I have a back up of stock setup in TWRP, just have to uninstall SuperSU. Who knows, this could be a real issue coming up. Certain apps wont work for me either because of this.

Sounds like the same problem. I'm curious how it affects apps. My phone seems to run fine. I'm not even that worried about it. I just orderd a set of 2 batteries and a charger so I will just change batteries until I can jump in 6 months and plug my sd card into the computer when I need to put something on it. Sucks to not have fast charging though, it rocked. So what apps do you have that don't work?

Lot of apps are working, just certain ones like Instagram closes out all the time, but facebook still works. I forget the other ones that cancels out. Not too many. Im thinking the board was zapped somehow thats affecting the USB port. Just like a computer motherboard, eventually something else will start messing up. Softcard doesnt work, wifi calling doesnt work either (can hear them but they can't hear me), etc.

I've heard that, not that I believe it, but disable it. Wait a few days and call 611.

Maybe it's because I freeze or delete the Tmobile app with titanium every time.

I wish I had known that. I learned this the hard way. As long as my phone doesn't break more I will be alright.

So Nate, were you able to get it fixed? I got my replacement device in about 4 days. I just had to send my busted phone back in the box they supplied. I dont believe root is a problem because mine was rooted.

No, I wasn't. I had called with my phone rooted and they used the T-Mobile app to see that my phone was rooted. They then cancelled my warranty. So when I called back they said I had to go through insurance to get a new one. Sucks, but not the end of the world. Everything works fine but the usb port. I have plenty of batteries and a wall charger.
That's strange. I have the same Tmobile apps and they didnt say anything. I just brought it to a store and they can't even hook up to the "trouble shooting computer" since it sees it as an unknown device. The store reps just did the warranty exchange at the store. They'll just check the condition of the phone- my phone is in prestine condition and saw there was no water damage. They wrote all that information, asked my the prompted questions needed, none of them was of software related. Just water damage and dropping of phone. You can try just going into a store.
The USB port on my Droid 4 is wearing out. Considering replacing it, but really would be fine to use an inductive charger. But - I can't find anywhere that still has the inductive charging covers still in stock. Anyone know of a source? Or if anyone has an old one they'd be willing to part with...
Same Boat as you
i was in the same boat as you a few months ago. I was looking for a wireless charging cover and the verizon store used to carry it but it is discontinued.
Ebay is the next option to find these charging covers however you have to check everyday and the price is 49.99 not including shipping.
So what I did was simply bought another droid 4. It only costs 75-90 for a brand new droid 4. One of the best decisions that I've ever made with a phone. Titanium backup made the transfer flawless. =)

I did a little searching, couldn't find it anywhere either. It's likely that Motorola only did a limited manufacturing run (unpopular phone and all) and resellers finally ran out of stock a while back.
At this point, you might need to grab an insert pad and install it yourself, or have a crafty friend do it for you. This has the added bonus of keeping the same backplate (and thus the same profile and texture) while getting wireless charging. It's cheaper than getting the official backplate would be, too: the needed kit can be bought for $9 these days on eBay.
@andrewwski I'm looking at the picture of this and can not see the difference but nonetheless

Hello,
I am one of the unfortunate people who own Samsung galaxy Note-8 SM-N9500 duos. There are no custom roms available in XDA, and nor we can install Xposed in it. There are modified Stock roms available in Chinese forums for this variant, but unfortunately all are in Chinese language.. So any expert XDA members, kindly make these roms in English and upload for us to enjoy them.
Eagerly waiting
Thanking you

I am in stock rom now but rooted wit China TWRP and SuperSU
Thanks
I have been on the same quest to find a port or away to Flash to a US based FW. I have had not real luck other than hints that it may take a Odin FW flash based off of SM-N950U1 I can not confirm. If someone can help with anyway to get the Phone to work on a US carrier (Big Red for me) It would sure be appreciated.
If I find anything else I will post here.
When will come the Android oreo finally???
So you wouldn't recommend getting the 9500 duos? Can't it be US localized? Can you explain more why it's unfortunate?
Is it better to get the 950F/DS?
I am thinking about changing to a dual SIM but I can't find a 128gb dual SIM except the 9500. I need 2 sims but 64 gb wont really be enough for me . Would appreciate understanding better the issue.
well there are pros and cons. I used to have a fully functioning note 8 N9500 dual sim 256GB. then i rooted haha now sending sms don't work but everything else works. there is an oreo update too. and also U just saw in the Forums that Dr. Ketan is looking for testers of the HK rom. I think he might have translated the Chinese language. so I voluntered. no reply yet as I just messaged him about the tester. since my note 8 is messed up. will update soon as i hear from him and test the rom.
Please informe me when it is ready

DR. Ketan inboxed me. He said that they have e tester already and having problems with the rom. but will message again if he needs a tester. no registration for it. just inbox DR. Ketan about the hk rom for N9500.
hopefully soon they will be able to manage a fully working rom for us.

Be careful I bought SM-N9500N Korean version, the 256GB 6GB RAM Blue one that we Do have root and xposed for. There is this bullcrap called the "Black screen of Death" and its Samsungs faulty software crashing our phones! The messed up part is once it happens Samsung IS NOT helping anyone with any type of International Version this year! So my phone as of 2 days ago is officially done. It makes it so it wont charge. My phone now when I plug it onto computers has a different name as well. It used to say NOTE 8 now its says omni_greatlte!!! Also if you charge it wirelessly and hard reboot etc.... NOTHING!!!

have a charger charge it with the cable and have a second source charge it on a charging mat. leave it for 30 mins and try again
dont think your issues are inherently because its a Korean n950n.
im on the exact same phone and have 0 harware/stock software issues since last october.
i flash several times a week. gone back and forth between stock and custom, nougat and oreo.
issue you describe seem to be the deep discharge problem that is not related to your specific model.
alot of people will say the n950n is the best model of the note 8 and appart form it not being dual sim, i surely think it is.

I did that I've been doing it for 2 days and it still hasn't taken a charge yet. When I left work it was on about 88% I walk from the building to the car pulled my phone out to call my wife and it was totally dead in the blue light was blinking. I try to do reboots and pull up TWRP all night long and nothing would happen. By this point it was 2 a.m. and I fell asleep I woke up the next day fresh and worked on it for about 8 hours trying to do reboots and charge it. From that point I went out and bought a wireless charger and use that as well as using a regular charger going back and forth back and forth back and forth all day yesterday. So I've been doing that for two days and it still is acting like it will not charge at all

Or possibly the last thing I can think of is Samsung doesn't honor warranties on the international version. Is maybe to ship it out to one of the developers and just send him some cash and let him tinker with it

although this is getting off topic,
after reading around the web, instead of holding the combo buttons for 1 minute, it seems it is more for around 10 minutes. once you get dl mode might as well flash stock just in case.
might want to start your own thread if not already done.
