New strap - Samsung Gear S3

I bought my daughter some time ago a paracord set for kids. We played yesterday with it and we made a bracelet for her and watch strap for my watch.
I must say that even if I don’t usually like this type of bracelet, this one look amazing.
What do you think?
Maybe the video is more explicative.

Are you planning to release this dark version? I like it and ready to buy (light version is not for my taste)

Yes. But at the moment the dark one just returned from test with Samsung apparently with some date issue in chinese language.

Nice job on the band. A few years ago I got into making paracord bracelets and made some pretty awesome ones with multiple layers and designs. Might have to give this a shot. Just need to get some extra pins.

Will Best Buy release different colors of Transformer TF300T soon?

Anybody have any info on whether the other colors will be coming soon? I have the blue one I bought from best buy, but really wanted a white version....so i can return mine within the 30 day period and get the white one lol
if they haven't released colors for the previous models yet, i doubt they ever will for any of them.
Everyone is getting them in june....but white in plastic looks cheap...havent u seen the sprint galasy s2 ??

I've got a sneaking supicion that the textured ridges on the back of the tablet might trap dirt and make the white model look pretty ratty after a while.
At any rate, taht's what I told myself in order to justify buying the blue one instead of sitting around waiting for the wihte one to come out.

very true! I wonder why they like to flaunt different colors and then never release them to the US!? SMH
Red and blue would be the best bets. The white fades and scuffs easily. I imagine the ridges would show a lot of dust/dirt as well.
Bestbuy isn't great at carrying alternate colors unless its something exclusive to them. I doubt they will have them. The time table last i heard for them to come out was in late June.

And as a aside, anyone know the est. release of the 700 series?

Don't you think if people knew the exact dates, they'd post them?
There hasn't been any dates announced by Asus. Since the release of the blue TF300, June has been the expected time frame for the release of the red and white versions, but nothing is certain on that. As for the TF700, summer or early fall are the main rumors I've heard, but again, no exact dates.

They must be getting them in store sooner than online, see this-
"Backordered: Expected to ship within 7-30 days
Estimate Arrival Time
Store Pickup:
Order today, pick up on:
SANTA ROSA CA - – Pick up in 5 to 7 days"
Unless their store pick up is just messed up. Santa Rosa is the nearest BB to me, they're 70 miles south.

Thanks, I seen the red this morning myself, none available in any stores near me yet, just online for now.....I think ill be returning my blue for the red, the one I have now has light bleed on all 4 sides, and my keyboard dock looks like it might have been refurbished or something because the part that connects the tablet to the dock is a different color like a light blue than the tab and the rest of the dock itself....weird.....

Galaxy S4 Black Edition experiences

Hi there, everyone!
I noticed there was not yet a thread for the new S4 Black Edition. In about 20 days I will get one, but I would like to hear some experiences from people who have already got one.
When mine arrives I will post my findings here as well.
What is the advantage over the Black Mist colour? Does the back feel nice? Does anybody know whether this version will get slower updates than the earlier models?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Definitely looks great, I'm interested also if anyone has more information to share.
Hey there,
I've got the Black Edition for a week now and I can happely say I love it!
I have had the Black Mist one but this one has got a much better premium feel.
I really love how the front is finally completely black, as opposing to the ugly black the Black Mist had.
The back of the device feels really awesome. Grip is so much better and you can't stop rubbing your fingers over it because it feels so nice.
If you get the change to buy a Galaxy S4 I would not look further and go with the Black Edtion. You won't regret it.
About updates, it's just the same old i9505, just another color and back. You will get updates as fast as the others get updates.

About updates is not true. Black edition gets separate updates from regular i9505, because of the wallpapers and ringtones. So the OTA updates will be slower than others.

Ah, I might have said that because I wanted KitKat so I flashed the latest available rom for the i9505.
I was going too pick one up today because in my region (Cambodia) they previously sold only the i9500 and I read that the Black Edition was the i9505. My bubble was busted at the phone shop today when I saw that it was an i9500. And the quality of the back cover was pretty meh. The fit around the camera was sloppy, and the gloss of the leather grain texture was very inconsistent. But from a distance, it looked fantastic. The normally bright chrome strip on the side had a really nice smoked tint that looked great with the black. Too bad it was just another i9500 :/
Is the black edition a 9500 or 9505 ?

Yes. Apparently it depends on region. I was under the impression that it was i9505 only until I saw the i9500 Special Edition this morning.
Black Edition
Hi there
When I saw the black edition online I sold my black mist and baught this one straight away.
It feels perfect. Go on and buy it. It is and feels much more premium than the other one.
As they say it is like the s4 should have been from the start.
The only thing is that the other one was already on 4.4.2 here in Greece and the new one (Slovakia model) is on 4.3
I just hope that the update is gonna come soon. I have to agree that it should have separate update from the other models due to the different wallpapers and ringtones.
All in all a perfect choice. :
BTW the metal rim is much darker than the shiny one on the black mist version.
Thank you all for the comments Cannot wait to get mine, and reading the reactions I am content that I did not opt for the Black Mist.
Great design ! But which is the firmware inside ? I think it's impossible to find a black edition with an old firm an old bootloader...
Got mine a week ago and I love it. This is what the S4 should have been like from the start, premium look and feel. Great grip too. And with KitKat it flies like the wind, no slower than my previous Note 3 :good:

Me too!! Only wished samsung themed touchwiz all black. Or black with red or blue accents. It would just make the phone more perfect than it already is.

Also bought the black edition. Great phone with cool looks! Still waiting for 4.4.2. Only thing missing is a "black edition" s-view cover. If you want to use a s-view cover you lose the faux leather back plate ?
I didn't install knox but it certainly is knox ready.

Interesting reading,
In the uk phones4u are selling it both contract and sim free. It looks very slick and I need a new phone but conscious about buying what in tech terms is now an aging processor. Especially with the reports of kitkat lag on the gs4.
It looks awesome and is the full i9505 model
Can I change my i9506 back to put the premium back?

Did anyone get a Classic

I was wondering if anyone was able to get the Classic? I had to settle for a black sport, what did you get?
I was thinking of doing that then returning it for Classic. I didn't want to deal with the hassle. Are you keeping your sporty version?
How do you guys like it? I went to see it @best buy. I found it kind of small on my wrist. It seemed to me a little more geared towards getting to get woman to buy it. Idk just my thought. Still debating on pulling the trigger
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I got a black sport one to replace my original Pebble. I wore the Pebble all the time, shower included. It is definitely heavier than the Pebble, fits my small wrists nicely. My only complaint so far is there isn't a lot of nice free watch faces out there. Also, the vibration is very faint even on strongest. The Pebble had crazy vibration power.
I got the Classic. It was delivered so I have no hands on experience with the sports version to make a direct comparison to. I have a small wrist for a male and it fits me very well. I understand how it might not fit too well if you have a large wrist.

I still prefer the Classic better, leather band. I just wanted to play with it for a while I wait for the classic to come in stock. I was told the classic wouldn't arrive at Best Buy until the next friday. Overall the watch itself is very nice and the rotating bezel is just awesome, in terms of navigation.

Do the newest Gear VR, works and fits the Note 4?

I read somewhere (dont remember exactly where, but it was on reddit), that the newest version of gear VR, the one colored black with interchangeable USB ports for Note 7, works and fits the note 4 out of the box, without using a dremel to make it fit.
Do anyone have tested it and can confirm?
I'd like to know if this is indeed true. As I'm seriously considering getting a Gear VR Innovator Edition for my N910C. If anybody knows if the new Gear VR actually fits the Note 4 please tell us?

How does it compare with Cardboard? I heard it's really way much better. Do you get sick wearing it too long? Is watching movies enjoyable with it? Can you watch mkv videos with subtitles (Anime) with it? I really want to buy one but with my experience with cardboard, I'm a bit hesitant.

Awesome! Could you post pictures of your Note 4 in the New Gear VR so we can get a look at it? Also does it run good on the new Gear VR? Were you prompted to download and install the Oculus VR app for your Note 4 (without the Oculus VR app installed) after you connected it to your Gear VR?

Loving the new Gear S3

Went to Tmobile and made the jump from the Gear S2 to the Gear S3. Was gonna wait as some people were stating its not much of an upgrade but I like the new look and band.
Now a convert to a smartwatch user. My Frontier is the bees knees. Just wondering how many Classics they have sold over the Frontier?
I had the S2 3G and got rid of it due to how "dainty" it is. I wear a Panerai daily so the S2 was too small. I love this S3. Just wish they would have done a 24mm band. I have tons of those.

I also had the S2 but never truly enjoyed it (too small). The S3 is great.
I have been able to use an exact o knife and trim down a couple 24mm leather bands and they fit the 22mm lugs pretty perfectly.

You can get the watch face from an app called Watchland
Yeah, I grabbed that watch face this morning too. Can't use the app on the watch, but download the app on your phone, download the face, got to your download folder, and the .gwd file is there. Needs to be loaded via Gear Watch Designer, where you can add links to apps, steps, battery, etc.
I was able to use the companion watch ap just fine and it loads perfect

I saw a display version and read some reviews. Fell in love with the watch. I have the Gear2 and the GearS and now the Gear S3. I really love this device. I had to open an account with T-Mobile in order to get the watch. Now I am going to move all my equipment from VZW over to TM.
