    GN3 is great but....

    No problems with the phone now that I have solved the WiFi problem. It's great. 1. One reason I went for the GN3 was that I have a GN 10.1. I wanted to have both my devices under the Samsung paradigm so it would be easier to go from one to the other. But NO: Physical buttons instead of...

    WiFi issues revisited

    Like others I have encountered GN3 WiFi connection problems. Slow internet connection disabled etc. I have Hughes Net. And not the most expensive WiFi. I have found a cause of my problems. When I have more than one device using WiFi the GN3 won't work. When I have only the GN3 connected it...

    Help WiFi problem

    I have Hughes Net internet. WiFi. My GN3 keeps disabling the WiFi saying it is too slow. It works fine with my GN 10.1 and my old phone. Any ideas? UPDATE: strange things happening now. At first my GN3 was extremely slow downloading via WiFi while complaining about the WiFi being unstable...

    Note 3 phone reception in rural areas.

    Our farm is about 8 miles from the nearest Verizon tower. I was reluctant to buy the GN3 because of a bad experience with the Galaxy Nexus 2 years ago. However I took the leap this afternoon. Happily reception is a good solid 2 bars. Better than my Droid Razr. Thought someone out there...

    Update?

    All the new S Pen features on the new notes... Any chance they will come to the Note 10.1 in the future? Just wishful thinking.. Sorry, didn't read ahead.... someone beat me to it.

    Do we really need PCs?

    I have been using one Android device or another for several years now. Using a GN10.1 for a year now. My windows laptop has been gathering dust for quite a while. Recently I dug it out to work on some CDs. I was stunned by how clumsy the windows interface was. Awkward. It took so long to...

    Sour Grapes

    I am posting this topic is the forlorn hope that someone at Google will read it. My Droid Razr is 20 months old. Shortly after I bought it Motorola released the Razr Maxx. OK, I can take a slap in the face.... Now my battery won't hold of a full charge. Also my screen frequently has little...

    Need to know

    What is the general understanding of the following specs on the gn 3? 1. Will the screen be higher resolution than the gn 2? 2. Will the battery be changeable? 3. SD slot? Many thanks for any thoughts on these points? I am aware that no one knows for sure. The big decision for me...

    Camera

    Just a snap shooter on the GN. Photo quality seems good. Today I read about photosphere on android 4.2. It says that panorama is on earlier android versions. My gn camera doesn't have a panarama mode. My old droid Razr does. Comparing the droid Razr to my gn camera I discovered that the...

    Help Ext SD card

    I need to understand what I can and cannot use the SD card for. Using Lecture Notes I can't get it to store my notebooks on the External SD card. (actually I can't find where the app is storing my notebooks at all). Any ideas on Lecture Notes? I have the GN set to store new photos on the ext...

    After 3 months with 10.1.

    Finally got my Epson wifi printer to print from my 10.1. From every app... Except SNOTE. Pretty arrogant of Samsung. Wish I had bought the 4g version. Need Navigation on the go. Don't use S-Pen as much as I thought I would. Still working on that. Slightly unhappy that the SD card...

    New GN 10.1 to come out next week!

    I know because I just received the current GN 10.1 in the mail. I'm sure it's already obsolete. :-)

    Apologies in advance

    I have just ordered the note 10.1 (wifi) . It comes with ICS. Has Samsung released the OTA for Jelly bean? Most of the posts seem to refer to loading unofficial roms. Kind of new and sorry to ask a question that may have been previously answered.

    Reading a separate SD card via USB

    I am trying to use a USB SD CARD READER Choked down to a micro USB on my droid razr ics. I want to download jpg's from a camera sd card. No file apps recognize the sd card. Am I attempting the impossible?

    Screen on 10.1

    OKAY, I really want a Galaxy note 10.1. Need productivity of multiple screen. Much ranting & raving about screen vs other tablets. I don't have the luxury of comparing different screens. (live remote area) Don't need ultimate screen resolution for games or movies. But want a good...

    Tablet Reviews

    Looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, reading any and all reviews I can find. Troubled by seemingly heavy bias against the note 10.1 & in favor of another tablet. Not just a couple of reviews but all of them. Reviews nag on minor issues, don't consider that different users /...

    Versions of gn 10.1?

    Aside from the wi-Fi / 3g versions of the 10.1 are there 2 core / 4 core versions? Also with and without the s-pen storage slot. I've seen reviews that mention all these variations. Looking at 16 gb refurbished on Amazon. Jon

    Decided to give up on smart phones

    Verizon has convinced me that I don't need a smart phone. If I upgrade my Razr my phone bill goes up 30 + dollars a month, I lose my unlimited data. I wanted a Note 2. But 1 gb data is not enough for 2. I have found that 99 percent of my Internet usage is via wi fi. I purchased a Google...

    SD card slot

    At the Verizon store this evening I realized that the reason fewer & fewer phones have an SD Card slot is that more and more are offering memory options up to 64mb (w/o the SD card slot). Of course you pay triple + the price per MB over the cost on an SD. Because of the dollar advantage to...
