[Q] Quick Circle Usage Prevalence - Verizon LG G3

Hi all, went out and bought the G3 on spur of the moment decision. I've got a rough understanding of its features but I'm more used to Samsung between my old phone and my girlfriends S5. One thing I was wondering about however was how useful the Quick Circle features are for the G3.
I've heard that they opened it up for developers to add support to non-LG stock apps I think and I just wondered how widespread this had gotten. For instance is it worth investing in a case to make use of these features or just a regular shell. For that matter can we access Quick Circle without the case?

Well for me wireless charging was the important thing. I just got a cheap one with charging off of EBay. It says for lg g3 instead of lg g3, which I don't like.

Other then that, does everything work fine?

You can simulate the circle case by touching a magnet about 2/3 the way up the left edge of the phone face. You will see a circular clock show up.
Edit because I got left and right backwards originally...

Yes as far as I know everything is perfect, just wish the case would stay closed with like a magnet Or something

This works great by the way

Just bought one. Thanks. Does it stick out? I was looking for one that was kind of built it as to not add to the sides. I will see Sept 6 though

It actually makes the case look somewhat nicer , ive gotten many compliments, it works well and doesn't stick out too much

Spigen wanted $20 for two little magnets and some double-sided tape ? ?
No circle case included and they warn you on the box that removing and reinstalling it a few times might make it fail.
I am glad it works well, and very glad it's half price.

just found this in amazon! Case and USB Keyboard

hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)
Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!
Will give this a try in Amazon.

LOL! I hate that snow! See that's the thing, I am a bit skeptical doing online purchases outside US... not that I don't trust them but might as well wait till it's available in US market, plus on top of that is you can track them but I hope u'll get yours on time! Give an update if it works well on you.

Purchase two from China back in December. Works perfectly.
How well does this hold the GTab? Has it ever fallen out on you?

Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue
Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.

Did it get any scratches in ur screen? Does it holds the tab ok?
Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!
Any have any experiences working the keyboard on this case?
Wenger case
Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php
Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!

I got mine today, keyboard works okay. Now I can be more productive typing on my G-tab... wish it comes with a mouse though but either way I'm satisfied, the price is okay for this case with a keyboard, USB and a stick.

This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.
-nice material, well made
-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)
-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)
-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)
-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)
-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)
-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)
-included stylus does not work (duh)
all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.
i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. [email protected] newbie mode!

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.
These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.

Amazon case
Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.

Lack of Accessories...

Is it just me, or is it weird that this phone is truly a flagship (carried on multiple carriers, amazing specs) and the manufacturers like Seidio, Mugen Power, and the like haven't released ANY accessories? I mean, this is even basically the flagship phone from Google directly...
We've now unlocked the bootloader, which means that ROMs will quickly be available, but this phone is just too thin and slick to NOT have a case of any kind.
The first thing to keep in mind is that although the specs are virtually identical to the N4, the phones external design is completely different. So, one wouldnt fit the other and as such, that point is moot.
Now, i havent done alot of searching, but im also fairly sure that the N4 doesnt have an over abundance of accessories available as of yet, and again, im fairly sure that its probably sold more units than the OG. I checked sites like Seidio.com and they have nothing available for it that i was able to find. The thing is, even phones that dont sell like crazy have alot of accessory options, but they dont usually appear until about a month after the phone is released. It gives accessory manufacturers time to design and make them.
I purchased a One X on launch day about 6 months ago, and i was able to find a case...at AT&T, and a screen protector. However, when i looked on line, i couldnt find many options for it the first few weeks, and now, they are every where. So, i would say be patient, give it time, and you will find that accessories will start appearing from every where. I know Otterbox has a commuter in the works and im guessing many others will too. I for one am hoping Seidio does because i have always loved their cases.

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping what you say is true, and you apparently have the research to back it up. I also wasn't aware that the N4 and LGOG share a different external design... That's good to know.

Yes, the N4 is more curvy, even the screen has curved edges. The LGOG is very....square or rather, rectangle and boxy.

I would have gone with an N4 if it had LTE & a microSD slot.
dont the sprint version and att version have slightly different dimensions anyway? When i went and picked mine up the other day the only OG case they had at best buy didnt fit my phone at all. I wonder if it was specific to the sprint version and didnt say so on the packaging
The build quality on this phone isn't cheap like Samsung. I will never hide this phone using a case

In theory I completely agree with you... In practice however, this phone is just too slippery. I've already almost dropped it more times than I can count. It needs protection.

Yep the glass back is crazy slippery. Want to put some matte screen protector on the back to give some grip. Don't like putting cases and making phones bulky.

This is a fantastic idea. I've been trying to find a thin case because of the back this entire time and never thought about putting a screen protector on there. Have you done this yet? I'm wondering which one I could get that could fit the size of this phone.

Best Buy has the Invisible Shield HD from Zagg, and it fits the AT&T variant perfectly. My understanding is that the Zagg site doesn't even list the HD, which is better quality/clarity than the standard protector the site does list.
Well, we may be waiting a bit for cases. I got this from Seidio after asking about cases and such:
"Dear Robert,
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. We appreciate your interest in our products. We have not finalized plans to make any products for the LG Optimus G. Your request has been forwarded to product development.

Doesn't sound very promising. Hoping to hear from Trident case with something more positive.

Please review my list of accesories for my new Xperia Ultra Z.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

*UPDATE*
FOUND A CASE BY SAMSUNG SO YOU DO NOT NEED THE RECEIVER ON THE BACK OF THE BATTERY.
I follow this guy pretty much everywhere. I came across a video he had posted about wireless charging and I have to say its pretty awesome. After some tussling around the only problem I had was getting the position just right. Other than that.... it works GREAT! If you don't mind the mini bulge you only notice because you put it on yourself BUT i think they make special cases if you do not like it.
I don't mind it, I like to think it holds it in place. I do recomend the QI wireless charger (KoolPad). People have had reports of heating up but I have not an issue with it since I have bought it. I bought 2, one for work and one for home!
I also like it because it prevents the wear and tear of opening and closing of the bottom tab.
thanks Max !
Wow, that's pretty insane... so you just put the thing on your battery...?

YES! there is a video he has for your viewing. I just updated it and just cruising around amazon and found a case that does not require the receiver as it is built in. I already bought the receiver BUT for everyone else if they wanna try it and post some feedback for everyone else.
I bought all my items on amazon and they all seem to be working just fine.

Nice, is the case rugged/durable enough to be used as a 24/7 case for the phone?

well the case is just the back cover of the stock you currently have. Just with the built in QI receiver.
I use a spigen case and works well with the charging pad

I just wanna confirm your saying that case works with Samsung Wireless charging back cover. Did you have to force it? Please elaborate,.

I haven't used the charging back case yet. I hear it is slightly bigger than the stock case. I ordered the QI pwd card and fits fine with the stock case. A little bit of a bulge hardly noticeable only to the person who owns the phone because you can feel it. it doesn't bother me because i like to think it keeps it in place and to be honest, i haven't had any issues. I will buy the case soon. maybe once the pad wears out

Anyone wanting the battery cover with NFC/QI, you can get them for about $23 on ebay now. Just posted the link and such in the proper subforum (accessories).
Get one off those and you can put on any case you want.
Not getting the case but definitely looking for wireless charging without changing the profile of this phone.
Debating on getting the quick circle case... I don't really want any case on my phone this time around but the quick circle case looks really cool / doesn't really add any bulk or anything.
Also don't you get some kinda of insurance for free or something if you buy a phone case directly from Verizon, like if it breaks when using one of the cases they sell they will replace/fix it for free? Im still not sure...
