what's the small hole at the bottom?

At the bottom of Dash there's a small hole next to the mini-usb. What is that for?

maybe the microfon??
Could be used for headphones
Its for attaching a lanyard. If you open the battery cover you can see the "loop".
For allowing the phone to breath properly...
It's what Mikey said. It's for a special set of headphones. I think it's for a headset with Microphone.

You people are FOOLS it isn't a lanyard. It is for hello kitty phone charms!
It serves no useful purpose whatsoever, except to help make your Windows Mobile Smartphone the cutest thing evar!

I have a lanyard attached to mine, the problem is that the phone is too large and heavy for a neck lanyard for any decent amount of time.

I like to poke holes.
the square hole is nothing. i looked at it.
Holly crap! I´ve been trying 6 months to attach a parabolic antenna to that hole... LOL!
I agree that the phone is pretty heavy for a lanyard, I used one once and the result was a hurting neck.

I have a retractable belt lanyard that works well. But you need cargo pants for something like the dash to fit in without getting squeezed.

Dock Station

I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?
samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...one-accessories/index.idx?pagetype=accsubtype
Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.
How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL
It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.
Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.
Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.
Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post
I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

You could use pencil erasers on the ends to not scratch it
Nice I like the idea
Now the price goes from $0.01 to $0.02

I was thinking something like bending the tips down or something
I've been wondering about this dock for a while now. Supposedly someone said they saw it in a video on Samsung's website, but I haven't seen anything. I hope it comes out soon, though. I really want one!

could use electrical tape as well, then you could make it in a variety of colors
I like the idea but its not very portable. I was thinking of getting one of those batrest stands.

Found this with a google search http://www.seskimo.com/batrest.php
Looks interesting. If you click the amazon link on that page it pulls up some other low cost stands.
I just ordered this last night http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-A...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280882983&sr=8-42
For $3.99 plus shipping, I figured why not.
I think this is it?
That's the one.

Cool idea! Easy way to make SGS look like Nexus S

Hi,
Just had a sweet idea. Not sure if anyone has tried this yet? Looking at the Nexus S, the front is all black, i.e. no Samsung branding.
I was wondering if we were to take a standard screen protector, and put a small black patch or color a small area black somehow on the adhesive side, then line this up to cover the Samsung logo the front of the device will look all black.
The area only needs to be ~0.5 cm high/2cm long to cover the logo.
Does anyone think this will work or will it look gash? Haven't tried it yet, only collateral damage if it doesn't work would be a screen protector though I guess...
Could work. But why would you want that ;/?. I can understand about themes and stuff but why cover the samsung logo on the front ;/
Yeah... then after hiding the logo try bending the screen and block the sd-card slot with balsa wood and super glue and you will have an awesome phone... hehe...

Ho damn.
We should also find a way to downgrade bluetooth from 3.0 to 2.1. And eliminating the radio will not be easy task.

May or may not work.. I dont really see the point though, the Samsung logo is not ugly or overly present. Also, it wouldnt make it look like a Nexus S, it would just make it look even more like an iPhone 3G

Also stop recording in 720p and adding a flash LOL
Don't forget Gingerbread theme! If you do every of the downgrade advices you will get a Nexus S. Amazing!

Ok ok.... just thought it would be interesting, heaps of reviewers have commented on how mean the front looks when the device is just sitting there with screen off... kinda ominous.
Can't be ar$ed trying it tho, was hoping someone else would

To get the bend I could use heat right? You think a hair dryer would do it?
Might work..if not...a blow torch should B-)

Nah... What I´ve heard it has a tendency to FC. Better not overheat it. Try putting it on your fattest relatives chair during a family dinner or something (the screen is sturdy as we all know). Ideal would be if you knew one of those guys who bends the bananas before they are transported to the stores... sadly, most of them have been hired by samsung and moved to Korea...
HD-video recording should be disabled using nr2 sandpaper on the camera lens.
bluetooth 3.0 I havent thought about beacause non of my friends have as good taste as I when it comes to android devices, due to this I dont think I have ever used bluetooth on my sgs and I might add that I preordered it...

This Is what people without any particular dev skills do for pass time while they wait for the next darky rom or preferrably a fully working gingerbread port... heh...

Gorgeous. You could maybe fashion a screen protector out of paper next
Lol I see you also have the plastic wrapping stuck to it in the back, still have mine on since march when i got it. Also do you plan on maybe intergrating some sort of tabs on the top to keep it from maybe bumping forward on accident?
ehhh looking at the pics again looks like you cant, maybe a washable sticky tape in the back like the one used on the piviot pad. BUut its made of wood and rott durning time

Underwater photography

Has anyone done any underwater photography with their Note 3? If so, what case are you using? Links appreciated. I'll be going on vacation in Cancun soon, and would like to get something that's waterproof (submersible) and has been proven to be safe.
Thanks.
A Zip-Loc bag might be sufficient down to one meter. I have not tried it and I don't know how touch will be affected.

Ya that's a bit too risky for my liking. There's bound to be something a bit more safe/secure/tested.
Found this -->http://www.amazon.com/DandyCase-Waterproof-Samsung-Galaxy-Motorola/dp/B00IPWL1XU/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1401982916&sr=1-8&keywords=note+3+waterproof
Wonder if anyone has tried something like this.

Red pepper case is the way to go. I got that one from eBay and is working perfectly. Just search in the accessories area on this forum and you will find the link, they have videos of people doing under water videos and pictures.

OK, I'm about to buy a red pepper case. Can someone please confirm that it indeed works under water. Like the touch screen works and you can use the phone.
I have a bag type waterproof case that is indeed waterproof, but the touchscreen goes crazy under water. Zooms by itself and does weird stuff.
Thanks.
