Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.
I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you
Yes! Definitely put up some pics of your ghetto-fabulous new sleeve!

Hi all, you may have seen me about on these forums before. Basically I'm one of the Samsung Mobilers for the UK.
I've got a chance to go to MWC 2012 in Barcelona (which of course i could report back on all the latest mobile news), but i just need people to watch my video on the galaxy note and maybe give me some feedback? (it's a demo video for samsung really to show i'd be suitable to go to MWC) I'd be very grateful.
I'll also have plenty of other samsung reviews on my channel and are willing to take requests for videos/blogposts of any features on the following samsung gadgets: Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung 3D bluray player and Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop.
Heres the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ope5cpwcBg
Many Thanks in advance
Stacey
I've posted a comment on your video to make it look good.
Thank you kind sir
first off, you need to get a better camera.
not criticizing, just giving an advice, people tend to skip a video if the quality is not good!
other then that, u got the skills....
Stop saying "you know..."
Point out that the Super AMOLED screen can be seen in full daylight, even with polarizing sunglasses on (unlike a certain fruit named devices)
Might be worth trawling through this thread for GNote ideas:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407787
And I'd advise scripting your video so you don't get those pauses when you're thinking about what's next.
Might also be worth recording each "feature" as a separate chunk of video then stitching it together.
That way you can "retake" any bits you don't like without having to re-do the whole video...
One like, one positive comment :thumbup:

Couldn't agree with you more
A couple of points.
* Lighting is very important, I don't like reviews where I can't see the device clearly.
* It's a big device, show how it would look talking with it, and where would you carry it.
* Edit your videos as recommended before.
Try to answer potential questions from the device.

Thanks very much for the feedback! it's all useful to me
nice video!
I did a video review-type thing of the Galaxy Note. It's the first time I've done a video like this - please let me know what you think!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEJCVQA-VeE
Not bad bud, good explanations of the device, the only points I'd like to make is the quality of your video is quite low so moving freely reduces the appearance of a decent looking video. Also I think there is too much music going on in the background.. But these maybe are just personal preference.

I did do a video scratch test on the Note but I deleted it by mistake... don't really want to risk it a second time!

Nice vid Dom. I agree with jamieross that the background music is a bit intrusive, also you give the wrong screen resolution; it's 1280x800 not 720. Apart from that,
enjoyed it.
Thanks Raines43!
...So generally I should use less loud music and don't make it 4am so I misquote stupid facts.

Very nice but you quoted the screen res wrong. You said its 1280 x 720 (like Nexus?) but its actually a wider 1280 x 800. This is why it doesn't fit in the hand as easily as the Nexus.
It looked like a tech review on a BBC program. I wish more stuff on youtube was as good as this first attempt. So 4.5 stars. Would be 5 stars if you got the res correct. Well done!

But really - I've never spoken in my other videos apart from a couple of voice recognition ones so I do genuinely appreciate and want feedback. It seems in general that I have a terrible choice in music and audio levels so hopefully the next time I do a review (Galaxy S III?!) it'll be much better!

No, not at all.I took it as a joke, of course. But my question wasn't one. I just wanted to know if anyone developed a thermometer app based on the display.
I really don't think there would be an app for that. As an accessory, maybe, but not as an app. I don't think that any phone has the required sensors for this.

There is already a thread open on Motorola forum, you can comment there:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/484ae2193b
No need to complain also in the store because quality isn't releated to the Motorola camera app (which is pretty good, even better with the new update) but to the firmware. More precisely, there could be a better management for low light conditions, for example tweaking the denoise level / algorithm
Could someone extract (new version 3.2.14.4) .apk file from their phone? I will be grateful.
Commented at moto support forum,too. The indian moto g owners would add more pressure on moto for a possible and faster fix.

The reviews comparing camera quality to other devices are pretty hilarious. One guy complaining that his $500 s4 takes better pics and another thinking for some reason it's crazy that his $225 ipod touch takes better pictures. I don't know how much you guys paid for your moto g, but the camera is pretty good for the money to me.

Gotta tell you that you're incompetent dude, sorry.That app was pulled off /data/app and posted as it is.
Either prove its has been modified by ANY way or gtfo ok?
The public key used can be found inside the app as CERT.RSA and it can be verified by downlaoding the app off the Play Store and run corss-check for MD5/Figreprint used to sign it.
so much randoms posting in these forums, gosh :<
I paid $120 for an lenovo a820, no flash, but those pictures are far superior to the Moto G's in it's current state.
True, the Moto G is a bit better on many levels, but the cam sensor is capable of much more I tell you.

Whoa....calm down, dude!! There's absolutely no need to get defensive. I never even suggested that you may have been the one to resign the apk, and I never said anything was changed beyond the signature. So please don't jump to conclusions and start attacking me for no reason. I downloaded the apk myself, and when I tried to install it over the one I had installed previously it gave me an install error, the exact same as if the apk had been resigned. Since this is the only circumstance that message appears, I came to the conclusion it was resigned. If you have proof it's genuine all you have to do is present it, I will humbly accept that I made an error, and we can all enjoy the app. My only intention was to keep anyone from installing anything that could possibly contain some nasty stuff. I never meant to attack anyone or accuse anyone of anything, so if you took it that way, I apologize you were offended, but you took it the wrong way.
