A Case Like This Needs to Happen - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Saw someone mention the HTC One's accessory page the other day so I decided to check it out. They have an official case that seems perfect for what i'm looking for in a smart case:
http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-double-dip-flip/
I hope we get something along these lines that acts like a stand without adding too much bulk. Anyone know of any companies that do something similar to this?

Possibly. There are a lot of these already out for tabs. Maybe third parties will see this and bring it to the s4

Would love this on my s4, I hope some third party will make it for the S4.

Something like this is already made for the s3, I'm sure we'll see it for the s4.

There will be all kinds of cases like that. Samsung has a couple already for the SGS4.

"Original" Nexus One pouches available!

I was ready to buy one from a Nexus One user for 20GBP - no one wanted to sell it
Well, now you can get on on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-Neoprene-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255a44941a
Granted it's from Hong Kong and will probably not be such high quality as the actual OEM ones, but we'll see.
I'll post some pictures when I get it...
Looks good! Looking forward to read how you like it.
Similar to this one that I ordered:

That one is just a G1 case called differently. It will fit Desire, but it's different from Nexus One case.

great! thx for the link, thats cheap
Hopefully the quality won't be as low as the price
Would this case be loose enough to accommodate both the Desire and a gel case, like flexi-shield?
I doubt it because on Nexus One it's pretty tight. Though for that price you might get it and try to stretch it.

Regarding the difference between the oem pouch for desire and nexus one,
i got a reply from the seller and he said this:
No friend,the one for G7 is a little bigger than this one you were order,do you want to change it?

Does Nexus S durability last over 2 years?

I'm considering to buy a long lasting phone and Nexus S seem to be good, do you think it will survive over 2 years without casing? I'm good at caring phone, my current Sony Ericsson G900 is already over 2 years old and still functioning perfectly (it looks worn out clearly) and most people who have my phone broke within a year.
Nexus S is going to be my first Android phone, only thing that I don't like that you can't enable or disable flash in camera mode, it will decide if it should flash or not by it own. The design seem awkward but I could handle it.
I'm also considering Incredible S but it doesn't have enough developers and it's still locked, so I guess I should go for Nexus S.
What do you think, will it survive more than 2 years?

It depends of what you talking about ? If hardware wise maybe and Evo 3D , htc sensation or SGSII but about updates most likely this one , any phone that is in the market and is a high end device most likely get ice cream(next big update for android) , nexus s most likely get it before anyone else(besides maybe nexus 3) google is trying to get manucfactures to make sure their phones they get updates within 18 months since launch but first they havent sign a form or paper that says they will second they haven't said for how long after google releases the update they need to release it as well so for all I know they could take 6 months( Evo is getting official gingerbread after 6 months, rolling out June 6, and the Evo was one of the best android phones in 2010 and a best carrier phone ) So I would stick with google if you want timely updates , that's one of the reason I got Me a nexus s
He is talking about the phone durability and yes, I would say it should last 2 years. It's made of plastic but it's not poor quality, it's much better then the galaxy S.
Since its a Google phone, you can't go wrong on picking it, it will always have the up-to-date software and will always have developers, even after 3 years (well, unless its about hardware limitation).
Its currently one of the best (if not the best) single core devices on the market, its definitely future proof.
And the camera does have the ability to turn the flash on or off, depending on your preferences.
The design is gorgeous btw, at least I think it is. The curve form is unique and when the display is turned off it looks completely black and clean, I think it looks very elegant.

FlyGrip Review (Plus free shipping code)

I've made a review video of the awesome accessory the FlyGrip... DEFINITELY check it out! I love it.

Use code QBKING77 for free shipping!
Look very functional. How does it feel in your pocket? I don't use audio so if it said so in the video, I won't hear it.
Not that it really matters (especially in this case), but that is why I can't use video instructions; I need text instructions so I can read them.
looks interesting def gonna pick one up when i get paid
Very awesome little tool for all smartphones.
Been posting videos on the flygrip on my facebook wall trying to spread the word.
Thanks for sharing
Doesn't seem like something that would benefit me but thanks for the video QBKing77. Keep us updated with accessories

Nice acessory, but not for me. Would consider it if 1) it did not prevent me from using the dock, which it does, 2) did not make an already thick phone even thicker and 3) Did not cost $30, which imho is better spent on two 1800mah Sammy batteries (although I understand that is a useful 2ry accessory).
Just got mine in the mail and its better than I expected! This paired up with my 3500mah battery is a sick combo. Whenever I want to play my roms, I can just flip out the flygrip as a kickstand and use my PS3 controller. Also great for watching movies.

Seems like a nice device but doesnt seem like its well suited for a device with a slide out qwerty keyboard and it does prevent using the dock which I use as well.

Might trade my SGS3 for an LG Intuition, bad idea?

So im in the talks of trading my SGS3 for an Intuition. I'm curious to see how that phone would be on a daily basis. But im afraid I'll regret the decision. I know this forum will be based. But im reaching out to my fellow XDA addicts for their input.
Let me know what you think about it.

I've really been looking at doing the same. It's hard to get decent opinions because most people say it's bad but have never even seen one irl. One of the big problems I have is it will probably never see a custom rom besides root. It's also a rather old phone but it can still play pretty much any game and handle anything. I played with one at verizon and it had some lag but I'm not sure if it's the launcher or not. Kinda bugs me also because I know I'll lose the stylus and it's just a normal stylus you can buy off amazon for like $2 (nothing like a s pen). I will probably buy one to try it, I can see myself possibly loving it or totally hating it, I doubt there a a middle ground.

If you're into getting a bigger phone, I would hold for the Galaxy Note II. It's coming to Verizon, and is likely to see custom roms. I highly doubt the Intuition will see much. The phone seems solid, but LG has lately had problems with keeping up on Android updates (I'm looking at you, Spectrum). Samsung, while not perfect, shows more promise in rolling out updates.

Yea I'm really thinking about the note 2 as well but the format of the intuition makes it awesome for emails, Internet, pdfs ect. The only only place it lacks is watching videos, and it's S3 cpu which is like 2 years old already I just ask myself how often do I watch videos on my phone, not a ton how often do I email look up things on the Web? Probably 200+ times a day.
I probably still won't get it but I'd love to see them make one (and release it in the us) with better specs and fore thought across the board and I'd be on it

THANK YOU! At least one person said it.... If you cannot do anything to a phone besides rooting it then it won't be in my hands.... I have to have full control so I can optimize every aspect of my phone cause we all know the manufacturers won't and Verizon DEFINITELY won't! The LG is a pretty giant leap back so I would wait for the Note 2 or the possibility of another Nexus device but def do not go backwards... (Just my opinion)
If you don't really care about ever using a custom ROM then go ahead. Otherwise I believe the SGS3 has it beat in every category.
I wouldn't. The single biggest problem with the phone is the aspect ratio. Every single review points out how awkward the phone is with a 4:3 ratio.
I would NOT do it.
If you want a phablet, wait for the Note 2. I highly doubt many devs will work on the intuition. You'd get better development off the droid x2.

Well, looks like people will have to reconsider seeing as the next Nexus is made by LG.

Intuition has terrible battery life and an even worse camera. I do like the design but there's absolutely no way I'd trade my S3 for one. I'm also waiting on a phablet worthy of ditching my S3. Going to be the Note II probably. Not to mention Samsung has a ton of great tablet/s-pen features that can't be found elsewhere. One last thing is the stylus has no built in holder. You have to carry it separately. Deal breaker right there for me.

I forsee alot of people not getting the next nexus if thats the case.

Need help deciding.

Hey everyone. I know this has been beaten to death but I'm having hard time making a decision.
I have had an AT&T HTC One for the past week or so. I'm very happy with the phone and have had really no issues. I'm running 4.2.2 in it and am happy. Problem is I am seriously considering switching to the s4.
There are some features the s4 offers that I really like. (multi-view, flip to ignore, etc.)
I had One X switched to the s3 then to an iphone 5 but missed android so came back and got the HTC One. Like I said I like the one. The button layout doesn't bother me although I do like the physical home button on the S. The speakers are awesome and the screen is very nice.
I just don't know what to do. I still have time to swap it for an S before my 14 days expire but don't want to regret switching.
Opinions???
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you have 14 days to swap HTC one, then I am sure you will get some time for S4 too. I would say try both and keep the one you like. Ihas HTC one X, swapped it to get S3 and now using S4. Huge difference from S3 to S4 in screen itself. I played with HTC one too but IMO S4 has better screen. Also the so called gimmicky features are actually useful in S4.
Well here's my take on the two devises. I had the One for about 12 days before returning it before the 14 day exchange and got myself the GS4. Let me start by saying the One is a great phone but it has some downfalls especially after using the S4 after the One. The S4 IMO is superior in every way but 1. The build quality on the One is better but even with that I do prefer that the back is easily replaceable because you can replace the battery and Micro SD card also replace the back cover itself if you scratch it up or damage it on the S4. So even with the 1 downfall that the One has over the S4 it is still arguably not a downfall for some. As far as features go the S4 hands down has the Crown on this. Yes some do call them gimmicky but I find them to be very useful. I do not use all of them but do use most. The beauty of this is try them all and simply turn off the ones you don't want to use. I find myself using more of the features the more I use the phone. For me the S4 without a doubt is the better phone. But that being said my opinion and preferences of a phone may be different than yours, so I would recommend to do what I did and what viny2cool mentioned before your 14 day exchange ends, return it and try out the S4 for yourself and then decide which phone is better for you.

Wait, "WHAT"
They are so evenly matched its a very hard decision, one that you personally have to make. Ive been back and forth and own both. However, the biggest deciding factor FOR ME is the removable, swappable, faster charging battery, and the sharper camera in the day time. Im not a night owl, so I wont benefit from the Ultrapixel milarky. Usually when I take pictures its in middle of the day, outside and the s4 comes out much better in that scenario. I like HTC Zoe and the video highlights it automatically makes, but im sure someone will make something similar and sell it for 99 cents in the play store.
You just need to prioritize what YOU value most in your device, and then figure out which one doesnt match up as well.

Trying to save OP a few $$ on restocking fees. He's going down the same road as last time, from One X to GS3 to IPhone 5. It's going to happen again so that's why I said just wait for the 5s.

Yeah, thought your comment was pretty funny.

Nope, I meant the IPhone 5s coming out later this year.
Don't forget now that we have the bootloader bypass by djrbliss the amount of roms to choose from are endless. So many dev's and so many roms to choose from, it's awesome! Played with the HTC One for about an hour. It's a great phone, I was just never a fan of Sense and HTC. So I was a little biased when I got my S4. I came from an atrix 4g, HTC Incredible, s2, note 2, s3, and now the s4. Definately the best phone I've ever had. All my previous devices I hated stock tw based roms. But just the s4 features alone along with xposed modules and 3minit framework it has rendered cm/aosp no longer needed for my needs. I would say try it out and if you don't like it then exchange it back. At least you won't having it stuck in your head whether or not you should have made the change or not.

Ok, but you said, "Problem solved." Yes, I suppose one problem would be solve...but on the other hand there would be a new problem: he would have an iPhone. And that's a huge problem.
I have a GS4 and I'm a big fan. That said I had a One for about 12 days before i returned it for the S4. The camera was my biggest gripe. If you're taking pics of something within a couple feet it's pretty good but forget about zooming. I use my camera on my phone a lot so I had to make the change. The one is a great device but I think I made the right choice in the long run.
Thanks everyone. I swapped it out for the S4 today.

I didn't want to make a new thread, so thought I could ask here. But does the GS4 have SVDO? I'm thinking about switching from Sprint to AT&T. How is the GS4 compared to the GS3? Only problem with the GS3 to me is the screen is too wide, is that an issue with the GS4? I haven't seen one in person yet.

The screen is technically wider on the S4...the whole phone is essentially the same size as the S3 though, so if you have a problem with the width of the S3, the S4 isn't going to be for you.
Both are great phones. If the One does everything you need then keep it.
