    Samsung Network Extender, Samsung phone, texting issue

    I did a search on this topic but didn't find anything similar so I thought I'd post here. Background: I switched from a Motorola phone (excellent radios) to a Samsung phone (shitty radios) and immediately had problems with phone call quality and dropped calls on my phone. I put in a...

    Help Constant disconnecting from WiFi

    So, this is a new thing for me: For the last couple of days my GN3 has been constantly disconnecting and reconnecting from the WiFi. Actually, the WiFi option on the phone itself shuts off and then turns back on. Anyone else noticing this all of the sudden? I'm trying to troubleshoot to see...

    Better contact backup?

    Just curious what others out there are using to back up their contacts. I've always used Verizon's Backup Assistant, which is okay but not great. For instance one thing that bugs me is that none of the photos I use for people get backed up. So when I go to a new phone or need to do a FDR like...

    Verizon Kit Kat rolling out, how it went for me:

    I've noticed that Verizon is finally rolling out Kit Kat in a lot of places but I'm not seeing much in the way of comments either way, with the exception of some early discussions on battery life and a voice mail issue. I am truly hopeful that this means Kit Kat is relatively seamless and...

    Simple battery-saving tip just discovered!

    There's been a few of these types of threads that have come out now and again and I always jump right in with my opinions on how to maximize your battery life and I'm always looking for new ways to get more. I just recently discovered something on my phone that is a huge battery waster and...

    The two-kinds of former iPhone people

    Disclaimer: This post is meant for entertainment purposes, not as an attack on any one specific person. It should also be understood that I am a former iPhone user (for 2 years) and found it to be a wonderful phone that worked great. I've noticed in the three years that I've been participating...

    Problem with intermittent BT pairing to car

    I've noticed that my GN3 does not always pair with my car (2011 Hynundai Elantra) for some reason. I cannot figure out any trend as to when or why. Seems to be hit or miss. I have cleared out all other devices on the car and unpaired/repaired the two a couple times and still hit or miss. I...

    Help Menu/Back key lights flashing every 60 seconds

    Okay, here's a new one that has cropped up on my phone recently - I've noticed that my Menu and Back capacitive button lights flash together exactly every 60 seconds. This is not something I had originally but it's there now. It does not happen when the screen is off but when it's on it does...

    Help For those on Verizon with call quality issues

    This is becoming a widespread issue on Verizon now with many reports. This is good in that they know it's a problem and hopefully will have a fix soon, like Sprint supposedly did with their recent OTA. If you are having problems please make sure you report it to Verizon support by calling...

    Are there any Task (or other) apps that work with S-pen?

    Since the Note 3 is so new, this might be a better question posed on the Note 2 forum, but since there are former Note 2 users here I thought I'd ask. While I generally like the stock calendar app, I'm wondering if there is a standalone Task app that is designed to work (or at least works...

    Stock calendar app

    I've been using the stock calendar app for the most part. I'm a Jorte user normally, but I always try to embrace the stock apps. I like the look and its functional but I can't find a way to get it to display standard holidays automatically. I'm synced with all my usual calendar apps and...

    Verizon, screeching, new phone

    So I was getting the screeching noise on my Verizon GN3 and nothing seemed to alleviate it. I spent time with Samsung live chat support, the local Verizon store and Verizon phone support and we tried everything we could think of but the call quality was still not great. At first Verizon kept...

    Light Flow works! GN3 notification light rundown

    I got Light Flow to work finally, not sure how since I couldn't get it to work before, but it's working now. Maybe an update came through. Anyway, for those that don't know, Light Flow is an app that allows you to set your notification light to change colors for different supported apps. There...

    Email/app badges?

    Does anyone know how to get email or app badges? I mean the little counters for unread emails or texts. Is this a setting somewhere or an app that does this?

    Air command not working

    The Air command function stopped working. I'm sure it's something I did since I've been reading settings for two days straight, but I'll be danged if I can figure it out. Anyone? It didn't work when removing the pen or when pressing the button on the pen. Action memo works if I select that...

    BAM! White Note 3 in da house!!

    Yep, I went with the white one. (See my post, 'God help me, I think I want the white one') I was at Verizon yesterday morning to hook up with my sales gal (I buty all my phones from the same woman) and pulled the trigger. Here is a relatively short review of the short time I've had this phone...

    Question about the one-handed operation

    I was playing with the Note 3 in the store the other day and one thing I really like in the input options of settings is the 'One-handed' operation mode. When you select this it allows the keyboard to be slid either to the left or the right to facilitate one-handed texting. My question is this...

    God help me, I think I want the white one!

    So I finally went into our local BB (Best Buy) yesterday and got a chance to play with a Note 3. There were no surprises since there has been so many reviews all over the web and, of course, here from you lucky people that got yours so quickly. I've been on the fence as to whether to upgrade...

    Anyone (else) considering going to the Note 3?

    I have been a fan of the Note 2 for quite some time but went with the Maxx HD instead because I just wasn't sure about the size. I've had my RMHD for just over a year and it's been a very good phone, just shy of greatness. Now that the Note 3 is coming out I'm seriously thinking of going either...

    How much do/will you use the S Pen?

    This is a question for all the Note 2 users. I'm looking at possibly going to the Note 3 when it comes out, unless it's a dud, then I might scoop up a Note 2 for the small change it will surely drop in price to. The S Pen has always seemed kind of... gimicky to me. To have to take the time to...

    Is anyone worried about recent Samsung quality or 'new phone' issues?

    I've been thinking about getting a Note 2 for quite some time as it seems to be a great phone that most users really like. But I thought I'd wait to see what the Note 3 was going to have first. However, as I wait I have been paying close attention to the S4 and there seems to be a real...

    Help All photos gone from gallery!

    Anyone have this problem before? I took a photo with an app and processed it and now all the old photos I had in the gallery are gone. They are not really gone, they are all still in the folders where they were on the internal memory, but nothing shows up in gallery except the new photo. Anyone...

    Root Custom ROMs - What have you tried?

    I've been checking back periodically on the progress of custom ROMs and they seem to be picking up speed now that we can unlock our bootloaders. Aviator looks kinda cool but RageHD seems to be my favorite so far. Who out there is using a custom ROM right now? What have you tried and how has...
