Download User Guide and familiar with it.

As for Antutu, just search Antutu at Play Store and install it, then run the benchmark.

Hey everyone and TS joytest

Wanna share my experience and some info with the original SView cover for the Note III.

I tested my white Note III with a black SView cover and the auto lock/unlock works including the SView feature but ONLY limited to when you are receiving calls. Everything else does NOT work unfortunately - like when u close the cover, the display on the SView window is blank.

Now after changing to a white SView cover instead, every SView function works perfectly.

So if u have a black or white Note III, u should get the same coloured SView the same as your Note III. As the other SView cover colours are not out yet besides black and white, I'm hoping that Samsung fixes this issue in a newer firmware.

Happy shopping for your SView cover ! biggrin.gif

Color won't affected la, probably the previous one is defective.

Yes, indeed very weird. Unless they became very greedy?
Interesting. Perhaps only the fault lies in black SView cover on white Note III. Need another person with black SView cover to test on their white Note III. biggrin.gif

The Samsung shop you went just not sincere, they ignoring the faulty cover they give you and said crap. Impossible color affecting. Don't think any manufacture that stupid do such silly product, if this is real, then all others fancy color cannot use already as no phone is those color.

Above user also proof it. smile.gif

Yes, most likely so if someone else here did not have the issue apparently. Or there was a batch of defective ones. Funny that they tested the black SView on another black Note III and it works at the shop, but not on my white Note III. The irony!

Cause the SView does work when receiving calls, but only turns blank when doing other things. biggrin.gif
*
Or possible not put properly previously? During buying time, the shop seller insist help me put up, and show me they is some pin must proper connected and etc. So I just let them fixed up for me.

I read at XDA, kind a lot faulty S View cover also.

I am waiting more others to appear, those fancy color or those special design pattern one.

Edit: Tested, the S-View feature 100% working in 3rd party launcher.

I used to dislike flip covers because in those days, flip covers means that I have to unflip to answer calls and the worse part is I have to hold the phone to the ear with the flip cover open. Very unsightly.

That's why when the original Samsung flip covers came out with the cut-out holes for the speakers, I fell in love with them and it changed my perception of flip covers. The ones from Samsung are slim and add very little bulk since the rear cover is replaced. Only after that, 3rd party casing makers followed Samsung's design style which means you can have the flip cover in closed position while still able to put the phone to your ear and talk.

The other thing I like about flip cases is it gives the screen protection without having to use screen protector. I dislike SPs because they make the screen insensitive unless they are those expensive type.
*
Ya, Samsung do change another life of flip cover. This S View make everything cool!

Can direct answer call with flip close - prevent over oil or dust at screen.

Auto screen turn on/off once flip open/close - No longer need to press power button or menu button.


Now I even more enjoy with Flip Cover. rclxms.gif

My current homescreen. I keep it simple. And its a plus with transparent bar.  cool2.gif

To all S-View owner:
Did you try flip the cover completely while using back camera? Any problem with taking picture? Can someone share the pics (of completely flipped cover at the backside)?

Sorry for asking alot of question.  notworthy.gif

Awesome home screen!

It is not advisable snap with cover on it, top part do slightly cover and the quality degrade.

See sample below.

Left: With S View Cover | Right: Without S View Cover

All 16:9 I snap is 9.6MP, I only change to 4:3 which is 13MP when comparing with iPhone 5 as iPhone 5 photo is 4:3 ratio.
