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!

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.

Like many of you in the past, I am a Verizon unlimited data customer that didn't want a phone that was locked down from Darth Verizon. I purchased my galaxy nexus December of 2011. I just purchased my Nexus 6 from Moto's website and am psyched. All I have to say is this experience going from a Galaxy nexus to Nexus 6 is going to be epic.
I'm in the same boat. My nexus 6 won't be here till 1/5/15 so let me know what your steps are for getting the Sim activated.

I just did the exact same thing, G Nexus to Nexus 6 (got mine in on Monday). I printed out a template online (check with ruler after printing to make sure it's the correct size) and cut my SIM with scissors. Had to do a little filing to get it to fit flush in the SIM holder, just need to make sure you don't cut it too small. I think all the electronic are in the center oval so make sure not to cut into that part at all. Everything is working for me, calls, text, LTE.

Just note that since you're using a LTE sim card that old, it may cause problems even though you don't experience any.. your signal may not be as good as a new sim card.

Noted, although I've definitely been getting better LTE service than with my GNexus. There are two main spots on my way into work that I used to lose signal and now I don't.

OP should get a reward, I change phones more than I change my toothbrush in a year (kidding of course).
But yeah the difference would be night and day.
As for my Sim, I called Verizon and said I ordered an HTC M8. They are shipping it. I also ordered a nano to micro sim adapter. I am going to put my newly acquired nano sim in the adapter and place it in my galaxy nexus to verify it works. Then remove it and place it in the Nexus 6. Hopefully it works

I received my exchange order today, received a brand new T-Mobile Note 4, manufactured very recently; the phone did not arrive in the expected condition; all four sides did not contain any plastics to be removed. The only plastics I see are the camera lens, screen protector, and back cover plastic. Is this something which some of you may have also encountered? I know Samsung doesn't play a role here as it depends on how the carrier handles their phones when packaging.

You have a new phone would be my guess.
It took me three days from opening day to get mine cause of family drama.
It didn't have much plastic on it.
(I can describe the plastic to you in a pm if you stop creating new threads).
It was brand new.
We did a factory data reset on my s4 which is running cm so the missus could have it. Sims were switched.
The guy at the store could barely turn phones on. He asked for permission to help another customer whilst we were playing with the s4 to make sure switch went ok.
T-mobile employees aren't touching your phone pre-sale even if they want to see what the fuss is all about. They'd get in trouble.
Are Samsung employees? Since as you mention t-mobile is the middleman.
They'd get in trouble worse. Not unless they were told to. To update firmware or test that that batch of phones work.
What about the visible microscratches, how many times are you suppose through the exchange process until you find one that is mint
Can't hurt to try again.
It has to be tmobile removing the plastics prior to packaging, no wonder the latest firmware was already installed. They should have been careful when handling
Maybe. I thought Samsung and T-mobile went back and forth with the firmware and then Samsung flashed it on the phones and shipped the phones to tmobile.
---------- Post added at 03:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 AM ----------
In any event why not exchange? Can you not return your phone or something?

I had to do an exchange twice with tmobile.
1.
White s3. Pink blob in the lower right corner when on a white background. Exchanged within 14 days for a brand new phone. It's my mom's phone, now. I still flash cm nightlies on it. Not a microscratch on it till this day.
2.
Ducked my camera up on my s4 flashing something or another.
Took it to a cell phone repair store. Even though I own one. No love. The guys at the other store said return it. I said I'm way out of the 14 days. They said call tmobile anyway. Flash back to stock and it will be fine.
Guess what?
It was.
Brand new s4. (Also, without microscratches). My dad's current phone.
Tmobile and Samsung want our money.
They will attempt to make you happy if you ask right.
I had to call 611 and tell them I had already factory reset.
End of story.
Got an extra battery, european s4 battery cover, headphones, charger, and extra ear bud covers out of it.
Seems like you had the entire process done in the store.
The Note 4 I received was through Overnight Shipping, it seems like the device was shifting around here and there while in transit especially during this time of year.
The display is immaculate, but the body is not; the reason why I made huge deal about this is not only because of what I pay, but also the possibility of reselling down the road.
Since this was suppose to be a Christmas gift, its currently sitting under the Christmas Tree. Unfortunately, I'll need to tell the recipient to Keep Calm and Wait; will need to see what T-Mobile suggests as they do understand these predicaments.

So after less than two weeks with my brand new device, the S-Pen stopped working (from one day to another). The phone recognizes it when I take it off, but soon after I hover it on the screen, starts interacting with it. It's like putting a piece of tape on the S-Pen tip and trying to write with it. Air Command doesn't work, neither the little circle that appears when you put the S-Pen close to the screen. I bought a $1000 device and now the most important/marketed feature stops working. What should I do? I've imported it so I don't have any warranty other than the one Seller gave to me (which now he's saying that the SPen is an accessory and it's not covered by their warranty).

I see in your sig you've had other Notes, do you still have any of them? Try the Spen from one of your older Notes & see if it works. They are compatible, just be sure to take the Spen out of the Note 8 first, unless you have Spen Power Saver turned off, or the Spen won't work. That will tell you if you simply have a defective Spen or not. Although I've never had an Spen go bad, it is possible, hopefully it's just the Spen.
I had the same issue with my note 7, after 1 week the s pen started to behave erratic, I tried the s pen of my note 4, and it worked fine, as the note 7 was recalled and I did not want to surrender it, I bought another s pen, case solved, try with another s pen from another device, if you can not claim warranty, get another s pen, I have seen them for some 25-40 dollars

That's the first thing I've did. Even the first gen S-pen works fine. The phone works perfectly. I've also tested the 8's pen with the other devices and it also had issues. Luckly, the problem is the pen. Unfortunately, it's near impossible to get a new one in Argentina

Yup, the main problem is that I'm unable to find the original pen here in my country, only knockoffs. I need to import it from the States, which is a pain in the ass and I don't meet the requirements to do such a thing. I guess I need to ask to some friends if they would import it for me. The worst thing is that I need to bother a lot of people to get a fix for a thousand dollars phone. I just can't believe it..

Well at least it's just the Spen & not the phone. Yeah that sucks how Argentina banned online international purchases. I used to forward stuff to someone I knew in Argentina but even he got hit with duty fees even though I declare as gift. For my buddies in the EU they rarely got hit with duties.
Is it possible to purchase one through Samsung in Argentina, like is there a Samsung store there?
If worse comes to worse I can offer to purchase one & forward to you but shipping costs might not be worth it even if you can get one there for more than what it should originally cost.
Did you try changing the tip?

Right now the seller says that he's awaiting response from his provider, I hope they'll give it to me without charge. There's a Samsung Store here, and they even promote the Note 8. But they don't even have a case for it so I doubt they would have an S-Pen, but I'll contact them if my seller doesn't have one. As you said, even as a "gift", you can't import anything without having Grade 3 tributary (or taxpaying?) identification code, named CUIT here. As I'm a student, I don't have one yet so It's impossible to me to get things outside of my country. Thankfully the situation is different than two years ago (even with that code, you wouldn't be able to import anything). I really appreciate your intention btw!

Did you try changing the tip?

That's the second thing I did. I've tried all the 6 tips and none of them made a difference. Heck even without the tip is still malfunctioning. It's like something being stuck inside, but that's impossible since I didn't replaced the tip since the day I bought it.
why don't you try and go down to the Samsung store there and show them the problem, if you do that and are polite about it they might just organise a new pen for you
If your seller will not solve isseu, just buy new S Pen on Ebay:

are you using a case that has a magnet? Magnets are known to not play well with the spen

Well thats way too old lol. The restriction was deleted in 2016-17 by the actual president. However, I'm unable to import it as I dont have a tributary code because I'm a student. I may have to contact Samsung here, but I'm pretty sure that the pen would cost me up to $150 if I get it from Samsung Argentina.

I'm not using any case with a magnet, I'm using a silicone case.

Fun fact is that my device now won't recognize if the S Pen is inside, resulting in a heavy battery drain and a constant alarm saying that I've lost the S-Pen. Same thing happened with the Note 5 when you broke the internal switch by inserting the Pen backwards. The thing is, now I don't know if the problem is the S Pen only, or the S Pen/Note combo. So now I really need a little help here:
I want to know how does the device recognizes the pen inside: is it a mechanical switch like older Notes, or an electronic sensor?. If it's mechanical/physical switch, then I'm done. It's broke, forever. If it's a sensor, it may stopped detecting the Pen because the pencil itself is broken, so If I replace the Pen only, it should be good.
I've seen JerryRigEverything's video about how Samsung made the Note 7 waterproof. Since the N8 S-Pen is the same as the N7 one, I came to the conclusion that the S-Pen holder is the same too. As you can see in this video at 3:19 mark, there isn't any plastic switch, but there's a cable coming from the upper part that snaps on the motherboard. I'm assuming that's the sensor. If I'm right, then my device is fine as I wouldn't be able to break that sensor. I don't know. I'll have to try a new S Pen and see what happens..

Man that sucks, stupid laws that keep changing! I'd be furious if the US had laws like that!
Do you have Spen Power Saver turned on?

Doesn't make any difference. Sadly it's a hardware issue.
So before you ask me this is not my S Pen I saw this on Twitter.
Do you think the Pen just broke like this or was damaged by the user? Has anyone had any issues with their S Pen (such as breaking or the end coming off)?
Uh oh, I sure hope this isn't a common thing. I just started messing around with all the new things the S pen can do. This makes me nerveous to even pull it out.
never had a issue with a s-pen more than likely user error
Learn how to use it properly.
I have been drawing and using it for almost 2 weeks now, it works like a charm.

didn't want to pass as being harsh but social media as being a source of information should be taken lightly. smear campaigns are common espeatially near launch day.

Again I never said whether it was true or false. I posted it to see if anyone else had similar issues to verify the legitimacy of the post. I did not post it to spread news I posted it to gather information from a wider audience

point taken.
I work in a national carrier phone store, and our demo model Note 9 was installed by our inventory manager. The S-pen broke while she was installing the display, it snapped the clicker off.

How? For that to have happened the S Pen would have had to been sticking out and then obviously of it gets hit it could snap off
Just Happened to me too
Just happened to me too,I can see this happening pretty easily. The end has a very thin plastic housing for a part that gets a moderate amount of tension. Broke off for me with almost no effort. I called Samsung and they denied a replacement since it is physical damage. $50 for a new one.

Pull yourself together for goodness sake! S-pens have been around for years and are well made though like all such tech will break if abused.
Knee jerk reactions to nothing....

Might be a very random thing. I have used the spen alot, mainly testing screen protectors and fooling around with the new features. My spen is still solid. I have dropped a few times as well.
Sent from my Samsung SM-N960U1 using XDA Labs
S-Pen is very solid. Our last display for the Note 8, someone snapped the S-pen clicker off that one too. So it's probably just spiteful thing. Customers being customers.
Same thing happened to mine yesterday while I was trying to pull it out of the phone. The rest of the pen got stuck inside the phone. I tried putting the top back on and now it won't pop out at all. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Thinking of leaving in there until I can order another one. Smh.

Update, Samsung offered a free replacement. They sent me a shipping label to return the broken one.
.....Nope
I had several Note devices and not once have I replaced a S pen, I haven't switched out the tip. Not sure how you could damage it anyway besides the obvious. It feels light enough why incredible Hulk it ??
Mine broke after 3 days...
It was a little wobbly out of the box. Didn't think much of it. I've had all Notes since the 2, never had one break on me and used them each for over a year. On day 3 of the Note 9, I was just using my ginger nail to pull it out and it just fell off. Wasn't using much pressure. I take care of my electronics. I went to you YouTube and saw that it had happened to others. One guy stated that he contacted Verizon and they sent him a new one. I called AT&T. It wasn't as easy as his, but after a few trys and calling Samsung directly, AT&T gave me a 50 dollar credit. The actual cost was 54 with taxes, but it was close enough. I'm just worried that this is going to be an ongoing thing. Samsung was great and offered to fix it immediately (they sent a box with return postage) but said the carrier should have fixed it with no issues. So. I called AT&T again and this time they took care of it. They wanted to replace the whole phone, but I didn't want to go through setting it up again and asked for a credit. They agreed and I had a new one in about 4 days or so.
Just happened to me now, device is only 24 hours in hand purchased from Samsung. Anyone else get a free replacement from samsung?
