Arm band too big?

I am 6 feet medium build.
Do you think the note2 with an arm band would look ridiculous?

Work out those garter snakes into pythons = profit & problem solved , lmao. :highfive:

Ever since my phone screen size had gone bigger than 4 inch I have used SPI body belt. It fits any size phone and doesn't bounce around. Also I can put my car key in with it. I use Bluetooth stereo headphones so I don't have to worry about wires.
And yes I think running around with a galaxy note 2 strapped to your arm would look ridiculous.

I don't think it would look too big at all.
There's a arm band case available on eBay and it's waterproof.
I'm getting one so I can go running with it.
Get on with it and take no notice of the nay-sayers.

Have you found an SPI belt that will fit the Note 2? My buddy just got one, and said it's tight on his Galaxy S3. All of the ones I see on Amazon say size "small".

I haven't got the note 2 yet as they are not in stock in my area.
They make a large pocket version of the spi belt. They actually gave me the larger one for free because they made the mistake of sending me the smaller one when I asked for the large one.
Edit:
I have a pre-order note 2 case from last week. I just tried putting the note 2 case in my large pocket spi belt and it fits no problem.
It definitely will not fit in the regular size spi belt.

Hey sorry I wasn't able to see the attached picture for some reason :/ I was thinking of getting the AirFlow Lite too but I have a thicker case (the Seidio Active. Do you think a case of that thickness would fit in there? How is the fit by the way? Is it snug or like super tight to put it. How much free room is left after putting in the Note 2. Sorry for the large amount of questions!

Keeping the black clean

I didn't believe those that said smudges would be problem on this phone, but it definitely is. To top it off, grit is stuck in some of my speaker holes and I've no idea of how to get it out. It sticks out like a sore thumb when the phone is clean...

Yeah, seriously. No idea what's going on with them and accessories this time around. International Note 3 out about a month now and no cases, batteries, etc. Willing to bet anyone who bought a Gear would love to pick up a spare charger, ca' maaaann!

Any one know how to make a charger? I have the inside parts, but the pins got ripped off the board
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I've been searching for a week for a gear charger. It makes no sense not to be able to get an extra. Maybe even a traveling version.

Would be great to see a desktop watch stand/charger that holds it at 45 degree angle.

Hello,
Try to use original power supply and leftovers from the original charger cradle - or make some adaptation - but be careful not to make any shortcut.
If You see the back back of the watch, with SAMSUNG name visible + is on most right contact (close to "G" letter) minus is second from the left (over the M letter)

You have my total sympathies with this. Its absurd for any brand to issue a device that is totally dependent on one part and have that one part not available to the customers for replacement. What are we supposed to do buy another complete watch. I want one to keep in the car and one for the office. Not a chance in hell. I contacted the importer here and there apparently isn't even a part number that can be given to order stock!
You now have a brick! I despair with such short sightedness on the part of a major brand like Samsung.
Again you have my sympathies.
Kind regards.

Good thing I'm taking good care of the charger. Good to know they not selling extra accessories.

going to be working on making a magnetic charge/sync cable over the next few weeks. Plans are to have the magnets "lock" to the screws on the back of the watch above the existing sync/charge port.
Im more than certain there will be interest in this.

Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.

ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.

I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.

I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

Bent xperia Z1 !!!

So.. I've read this topic on other website about a user who found his Z1 bent over a night by itself.. And he claims that "no external force was applied".. Well i didn't believe at first.. I'm an engineer and i know that it's not easy to bend a phone like that not even by heat.. Unless the aluminum reaches the melting point.
After a quick search i found similar topics about user who encountered the same issue.. But i didn't really found any other pictures for a bent Z1 unit but the pictures that the first user posted on the Internet.
So.. Did any of you guys had the same problem? That matter really freaked me out as i bought my unit just a week ago and I'm afread that maybe it's going to be bent like that!
Thanks in advance.. And sorry for my bad English!

Well.. If the temperature was under the melting point of any metal.. That particular metal may be deformed.. But after the metal is back to the normal temperature.. It bounces back to it's original shape.. So i thought maybe the aluminum was made by some bad forging or something like that.. I know it's highly unlikely but the pictures and the discussions were terrifying

Maybe.. But the strange thing is, even if it's caused by those reasons, or by applying external force "which is most likely" the glass didn't break! And the metal is terribly deformed.

I know what the problem is and you won't like it - I think your friend's house is haunted by ghosts!!!!
We better call Dean and Sam!
/s
No but seriously I've never heard of anyone bending there phone ever! PLastic phones, metal, alumium, glass etc. not a single time.

i have my z1 since decembeter and belive me i've tried heating it up as best as i could! 3 hours of asphalt 8 a day for weeks... it doesn't get any hotter than that and yet the phone don't bend! so you can rule out the temperature effects...
my theory is that it's just bad manufacturing proccess and the aluminum frame has inner forces that wants to relive itself and bend... only happend in few rare cases.

The reason for bent phones, is in fact quite simple...
- and allmost allways the same...
Just like any other bent phone, eg. the iphone, the Z1 really don´t like to be in a rear pocket at all.
The force from your wight, when you (accidently) sit on a chair is more than enough to bent the phone...
Actually if you have tight pants, and have it in the front pocket, that might also bent the phone when you sit down...
These things might not bent it enough for you to notise the first few times, but then one day you notise it...
Nothing strange in that at all...
- just look at how people use the product...

Pictures is what we need!!!

It is possible for a metal to bend under its own material stress if it has not been machined properly but it only happens in rare cases. My experience with my z1 is a good one, I have accidentally dropped it many times on various surfaces and even my Japanese akita has stood on it! yet it's still in perfect working condition so I don't see how some z1's are bending without intervention.

Wow that looks so odd, this guy is either lying about something or something is really odd and I mean REALLY ODD!
I would've expected something of this happening if it was warm and in your pocket while you were biking for example but the guy said he didn't touch which makes that hypothesis incorrect.
I think warranty would protect that because the phone is not suppose to bend by itself!
I still think something smells a bit fishy about his story!
