Guys, at work two days ago my headphone cable got caught in someting, I didn't notice and moved fast, pulled kinda hard. The headphone's cable is pretty dead, but I honestly don't give a damn, they're more than replaceable, but the headphone jack in the phone seems a little bit loose now, and if I wiggle the (new) cable, sometimes it sounds really bad. My question is.. where could I get a replacement? Due to obvious Knox issues, I can't really go to the repair service for free, so I'd like to either find out if I have even the slightest chance in services to fix it (the ones I asked around said no...) or where to buy one, I could replace it myself, since I'm quite handy hardware (worked for a while as a pc tech repair, the screwdriver is basically an extension of my hand, and I've replaced many phone screens, I could manage). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SM-N9005 is my toy, in case there are different jack models for different variants

It is possible to buy them, just had a quick google search and found one on ebay, probably around that sort of price - http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/331061041887
Let me know if you find a reliable place, i may get a spare as mine has loads of grit inside it that doesnt want to come out

Did a headphone jack replacement on the note 2 and didn't have any issues (still more difficult than on other phones). I wouldn't recommend replacement to anyone but if u have the experience... It is possible. Like said b 4 look on eBay 4 note 3 headphone jack and buy from seller, always worked for me. Good luck mate

So what's your guys opinion on our two options to enable wireless charging
The official Samsung cover adds some substantial bulk to the phone. The other option is something like the qi pad from Tylt that you simple stick under the batery cover with no added bulk.
Does anyone know if one charges the phone fast or anything like that.
Discuss thanks

Not sure what bulk you are referring to? Pretty sure the charge isn't affected more in either case..
Also, this should be moved to Q&A
Look at the official Samsung back. The back as a whole becomes flush with the camera lens. It appears to be even a bit taller than the camera lens. That's quite a bit of added thickness to the phone imho

The wireless charging back does add several millimeters of thickness to the phone. It is apparently enough that standard cases will not fit. I'm waiting on mine to come in, but OP, here is a long thread discussing options.

Moved to Q&A
You may also look in the accessories section for options.
Let me know if you have any questions on it. I'll have some accessory reviews etc in the next few days!

How are the preinstalled widgets? LG seemed to hype up its calendar.
How much can you customize the nav buttons? I remember the G3 having different button visual styles in addition to being able to rearrange the buttons.
How much other customization can you do? Things like the app drawer, themes, etc.
Digging around in settings what can you find that LG isn't pushing as hard??
Do you have a comprehensive list of all the preinstalled apps, from LG, T-Mobile, and others?

Almost all these questions are answered in the video
on your list ...
First, is this pre-production sample shipping with a locked bootloader? (T Mob was the only US variant unlocked with the G3)
Second, what is useable as a screen protector?

But I chose those questions only after watching the video. You mentioned most of those, but I was asking for more detail on them than was provided in the video.
I'd love to see it side by side to a G2. I love the size of the G2. A coworker had a G3 and I don't know about 1 handed use. Another coworker has a S5. Either would work. I am trying to get a rough visual.
How does the leather feel? I know it's real leather, but is it a stiffer or softer leather?
I thought the G4 doesn't have wireless built-in since you have to buy a separate case to use it. (or even a receiver you can plop on top of the battery, which is how I can use wireless charging on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Though, no idea, if the G4 will have that option.) Everywhere that I've seen specs for it say that it doesn't come with that out of the box.
How is the user experience? I remember trying out the G3 and I didn't like how the experience was. It seemed cluttered to me, which isn't say much since Samsung's Touchwiz can be the same way, but I thought it was fine on the S3, compared to the S4 and S5, which I didn't like it as much. Did LG improve on their UI from the G3 to G4?
What are your thoughts on the camera? I know LG hyped that camera SOO much, so I need to see some real-world pics and such. On paper, it sounds great, but curious how it actually performs.

If the G3 being able to add wireless charging with the quickwindow case meant it had the pins that allowed a wireless charging sticker to be added underneath the plastic back, I'm guessing the fact that the G4 has a quickwindow case with wireless charging means it's only a matter of time before someone makes a wireless charging sticker for the G4.

LG World has tons of free themes, fonts etc. You can still change the soft keys like the G3, also has the option for white or black background.
I can get you a list of the apps, if you pause the video on that part you can see them all. It's 9 T-Mobile apps, plus most Google apps and that's it.

I don't personally much like the leather, it's not hard or soft; can't really explain it. It feels nice, just not my cup of tea. I might check out the black leather back. But I did like the grayish one with diamond pattern.
The G4 has wireless charging, but I think you need to buy the back for it like I had to do on the G3. It was ~$20 for the original one from LG.
The UI is cluttered by default, but you can make it into a list and make it less cluttered. I like it much better after that.
The camera is actually pretty amazing. I'll be posting pictures on Instagram/Twitter if you want to follow, same as my handle here. I know they get somewhat compressed, so I may start another thread with camera samples if you guys want that!
I think the round back would piss me off when using the phone while it is laying down on its back. I very often use one hand to double tap to wake, flip through notifications, send quick replies, double tap off. With a rounded back, can you type one handed while it is on a desk? Or does it rock back and forth? Seems like it would also slip off my lap while driving easier because the contact area is less.
And Qi charging is a requirement of any phone of mine. I have a sweet setup at home and work (Nexus 7 2013 and Verizon G2). Can you confirm? I'd hate a "qi backplate" because those typically add additional thickness and disallows feather cases like Incipio Feather from fitting.

I can type with one hand just fine, but it is round & moves when on the table. But it's not a huge deal to me, but that may be a deal breaker for some.
The Qi back for the G3 didn't add any bulk & thin cases fit just fine. I'll have some cases up tomorrow though!

Yeah, that's my current setup with the S3. But, that still means you have to buy something to actually be able it. It's not like phones like the S6 where you can literally put it straight out of the box and plop it onto a wireless charger and it'll start charging.

Yeah, I was wondering if colors would be exclusive, depending on the carrier. I've seen promos that T-Mobile is the only carrier that'll have the brown one you currently have. I remember seeing the black leather one for AT&T, but no idea if it's exclusive or not.
Ah okay, so it is like my S3 then, where you have to buy something separate to actually get use of the wireless charging since it's not enabled by default. Lil annoying, since I would prefer it enabled right out of the box, but it's not a deal breaker. I only even bought the receiver for the S3 because the charging port has gotten rather finicky, so it's buying time before I actually upgrade later this year.
I'd love to see some camera samples, so feel free to post them here or make a new thread for it. Your call on that.

You could also try getting one of those receivers that you can place on top of the battery (essentially looks like a sticker with some pins). I'm using that for my S3 to help buy some time before upgrading later this year since my charging port is a bit finicky now. Because it goes inside the phone, it really doesn't add any bulk to your device.
From what others have mentioned in this thread, only a matter of time before someone makes one for the G4. Because it's not a case, I'm not sure how fast it'll charge, compared to an actual backplate. It might be slower, but I honestly can't say.

You can get a qi wireless charging sticker for literally five dollars that takes two minutes to install, so it isn't that much of a hassle at all.
Sprint also has the black leather G4. Hopefully T-Mobile's brown leather exclusive expires by the time I get my G4 in November, because I want it.

I'll try you mine if I still have the device haha I get new phones A LOT :x
So does the G3 that ships in the US not have QI charging out of the box?
My G3 came with the QI charge patch built into the original rear cover and I was kinda assuming the G4 would be the same.
Thanks for the great review ... No doubt we will get the G4 here in Australia just before LG releases the G5 to you guys hahaha
Photo attached of the unit that was reviewed in France ... the QI patch is built into their model with the leather rear cover.

I believe that is the NFC antenna, not wireless charging. The impression LG gave off with the G4 was that there will be no wireless charging built in and the quickwindow case will be required for wireless charging. This is what they were saying for the American release of the G3, but they said the global model of the G3 will have wireless charging. From this, I'd guess the whole world will be in the same wireless charging situation with the G4 like the US was with the G3.

Ah, thanks for the explanation ... that might explain why only two contacts are made out of the 4 available.
I just googled replacement parts for the G3 and the QI and NFC are in the same patch ... but they use all 4 little contacts (on the picture I attached only two of the contacts are showing on the rear case).. At least the G4 has the 4 contacts on the phone so its likely someone will figure a way to replace the NFC with a combined NFC & QI with all 4 contacts.
Seems like a backwards step though
how did you get one already? and do you have to send this unit back after testing or did you win it?
seems to me the only people who got test units were professional reviewers.

Hey guys,
I am looking for a case that has a kickstand, work well with magnetic car mount, and works with wireless charging (this part is not that important). So far, I have three cases from Amazon and returned all three. While they worked well, and I actually liked them, they failed at staying on my magnetic car mount. This part is very important for me. Other than that, they were amazing!
Is there anything you know that works well with magnetic car mount and has a kickstand?
I have a Note 10+
What cases did you try? It would help us to know what hasn't worked so far.
Here are the ones that did not work so far:

I looked at this case several time and have skipped it. I love Spigen myself. I looked the reviews and had mixed feelings about the magnetic mount. The foam could prevent a good grip for the magnetic mount.

Actually I didn't understand your reply because I thought it was alot cheaper than that - and it is! I agree right now it is horribly priced on Amazon, but when I bought it on Amazon (copy of my order is first picture) it was only $18.99!
The second picture has other places where you can get it closer to that price...
Also in that same first picture (the order) - note a really cool tiny item I have hanging on my keychain as well - the Nekteck USB Type C OTG Micro SD Card Reader with Additional Standard USB Port Connector (third picture shows more about it).
Thoughts?
Just bought the Note 10+ which kind of disappoints me when I see the screen compared to my brilliant note 4 but that's another story.
I've tried a number of wallet cases but almost all the ones I see are with magnetic closure and that affects the S-Pen writing on the edge even with the tag stretched out as far as it goes.
Just wondering if anyone has found a case which doesn't use the magnetic closure?
I don't understand why manufacturers put magnets anywhere near the note series cases - Even Snakehive leather cases seem to do that and they tell me they don't get to test the devices when they make the products . Duh! then they tell me that they only get a few complaints and that is probably because in reality there are quite a few note owners that simply don't use the S-Pen.
I've always had wallet cases, prefer them and the one for my Note 4 was great (manna by Leinke), this had a perfect interference clasp which has never failed in all the years I've used it but sadly they didn't make one for the Note 10 / 10+ .
If anyone managed to find something that works I'd love to know especially one available in the UK.

Well in case you didn't notice this thread was about finding a case for the Note 10+ which doesn't have a magnetic closure.
Magnets and S Pen do not play well together
