Does anybody know how to disable the sview software that pops up while the OEM s view case is installed? I'm wanting to have access to Google Music lockscreen controls while the cover is closed. Thanks

If you don't want the S-view functions at all, you could remove the IC chip from case.

An excellent point although some folks have received a free case when they purchased their phones. Either way, he can still head over to ebay and get one if he doesn't want to screw up the OEM case.

Knock off feels like a knockoff. But I have one in the mail so I will do a side by side. But you get what you pay for. I like the wake function but don't use most of the apps on the s view. I think it's crazy nobody knows how to turn it off. As much as we mod this should have been hacked a long time ago. This case just obviously isn't very popular with the people who do the modding. I will add info later to this post when i do a side by side. Hopefully it will be useful to someone.

Or maybe it IS popular. I suspect the reason why no devs have wanted to disable the S-View functions is because that's the entire reason that bought it to begin with.

Doubt that. I have the knockoff with the window and it's perfect with stock lockscreen and the lockscreen music far more usable than the sview cover software. There has to be another reason that's being overlooked.

Lol, so the metal connectors in the case is actually just a simple piece taped to the case so I just peeled it off and at least I get music controls now. But the sview software has different touch sensitivity than the rest of the software so the screen is unable to be used while the cover is closed when not using the sview software.

You could turn the extra sensitive mode on for the touchscreen somewhere in the settings. It's called glove mode or something.
isn't the music control part of the s view software using the window, if you somehow disable the s view feature, the music function will also be disable, if you must disable, have you tried going into.
settings/more/application manager/all, and try to mess around the software to disable the feature if it's available, becareful not to disable the wrong features or some phone feature might not work.
Try sticking some tape over the metal connectors on the cover

There's a decent looking folio on Amazon for $12.95 but it doesn't specify if it works with the AT&T note. Any idea if it's fully compatible? Have any if you guys tried this case out?

Can you link it? The only difference between the AT&T and the other note is the lack of the physical button on the screen. If it doesn't have any screen protection it shouldn't be an issue.

I just took a look at that - there isn't a screen protector or anything else that interferes with the soft keys, so it should be fine. Looks like it just has a plastic mold that snaps on to the device (like a slim TPU case).
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I can't easily post a link as I'm typing this up on my Tab using the XDA app, sorry.
As stated above, it's a snap-in case, so no front button molding would interfere. I think I'll go ahead and order it. I'll report back with my opinion of it!

Did you have to add an copper material to the charging contacts in order for them to make contact with the QI terminals?
Unless our phones differ then yes he added material I did a similar process works great
Any1 trying this you need to be very careful
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
What did you add? It seems like it would be easier and safer to add a good bead of solder to each terminal on the QI piece. This way if you do make a mistake you're ruining the charging accessory and not the phone.

From my experience doing this via the copper tape method, he would've not only had to do this but attached the charging pins to the motherboard that are seen through the mid piece as well.

Lmao, seriously. Verizon provides good service only because they invested in lte instead of another technology, unlike the other carriers, and lte won. I don't even care that they put their name on everything.they can do whatever they want with that respect. But they make some stupid decisions sometimes..stupid for the consumer at least. I can't guess what they benefit from doing that

Does the back cover for wireless charging sacrifice nfc functionality? Might have been why big red decided to not include it on our 605s... They try to do the thinking for us and protect us from ourselves

Wow! So no one knows!?
My local Best Buy an Best Buy Mobile in the mall still don't have this case. A stand in the mall which sells cases, name brand an generic, has a generic flip cover window case for only $20. I tried it and my phone did nothing with the front of the flip cover over my screen, so I didn't buy it. Then i walked to all of the carrier stands in the mall, and T-Mo was the only one that had the official Samsung on stock but they only had 1 an it was black (my GN3 is white). I put it on my phone anyway just to check it out, an again my phone did nothing with the front over my screen. I assumed there had to be a setting for the case to work properly, but couldn't find anything in the Settings. Any help would be appreciated! My Nexus 7 FHD didn't have any setting that needed to be changed for a smart cover to work on it, but I'm hoping that the GN3 does an it isn't just that my phone isn't working properly because I don't have ANY other issues with mine! Not the sound issue so many others have or anything!

There are no settings that I know of.
The official cases come with a back that must be replaced also. The switch that tells the phone whether the screen is open or not connects to terminals inside the back cover.
The knock off cases sometimes don't have this so beware.

Thank you!! I didn't know the back had to be connected for the front to work properly! I was just putting the front of the case against my screen, expecting it to change. No that I know, I'll go back an retry both cases! Thanks so much!!

Hello, I recent brought his bumper on eBay, and I got to say, I love it very much, it adds no bulk to the phone and feels like its part of the phone instead of it as a case.
It's really slim and it protects the bezel. It lifts high enough to be able to put it face down, but the camera will touch if you put it down normally.
Also, keep in mind that the bumper uses a screw.
I had it for about a week, and have not notice any notable signal lost, but that's just me.
I got the case for 7.99, but it might be different depending on the eBay seller.
Here are the pictures of the black one, but if you guys like, I can also upload pictures of the red and silver one.
Sorry for the horrible quality, they were taken with my Nexus 7.
Could you post the silver and link where they were purchased. Thank you.

I had this case cuz I bought it from a local store. I gave up on it after two days because it is so easy to pry apart when screwed on. It makes my OCD scream because it doesn't feel like it's on there, and dust can easily get into the pried crevice.

I just got this in the mail and figured that I would contribute a bit of a review and some pictures in case anyone has any questions.
So far my first impressions are that it feels really good in the hand. Like the original S-View cover, it should also offer some basic drop protection due to the lip that surrounds the top, bottom and exposed sides. It is also a bit thicker in the rear than the plain S-View cover. The only way it is not protected is if I happen to drop it with the case open. I use an iloome flexible glass protector in case that happens, but let's hope not. I will not go into the S-View function as that has been covered pretty well on this forum, except to say I have had no issues with it locking with the front cover folded all the way back. I have tried it so far on a Tylt Vu charger and it worked well. It did get a bit warm, but I didn't find it a cause for concern. I also have a Nokia DT-900 charger to test with at the office. I will be sure to do that and let you know if it charges well. I tested NFC using my Nexus 7 and it worked well. The biggest flaw with this cover has been addressed by Spigen. I have added the magnetic clip to it and it is very effective. I have to say this cover looks very polished and professional, especially with the clip. Overall, I find that it kills 2 birds with one stone. It adds wireless charging, without the loss of NFC or S-view and it protects the Note 3 from minor drops. I haven't seen any drop tests with the S-View but it is a more substantial case than the first effort on the GS4.

I have not seen any impact. I can hover at the edge of the screen right next to the magnet with no change in responsiveness. I think the magnet only points straight up.
