    Battery drain - possible fix!

    I'm not trying to make a HUUUGE deal out of this, but I know there are quite a few folks experiencing battery drain issues after the 4.4.2 (KitKat) update. Well, I've finally (I hope) managed to solve it on my end. First, a little history. I updated my phone when KitKat was released and...

    Trouble Viewing Received MMS Pictures

    Hey all! So a new problem has developed on my phone. 80% of the time, MMS pictures I receive do not display properly. As you can see in my first screenshot, it just shows up with the image placeholder icon. If you try to view the image, it says it cannot be displayed. However, per the second...

    Looking for Home Screen Note-Taking Widget

    Does anyone know of a widget that allows you to write (with the S-Pen) directly on the home screen? I'd love to be able to whip the pen out, swipe my home screen right or left, and then just be able to write stuff without first having to open an app. If I knew what I was doing, I'd write a...

    Hiding Notification Bar in WidgetLocker

    I can't seem to find a single other person who has had this issue on the entire internet, so it must be just me. I installed WidgetLocker to replace the stock lock screen. Managed to get everything working perfectly, EXCEPT that even after checking the options to hide the notification bar, and...

    Device Security without Lock Screen

    Okay, so for a myriad of reasons (in particular, the use of my phone in my car as a media device), I have decided to disable any form of lock screen on my device and see how things work out. The way I see it is thus: I have never in my life misplaced my phone. That's not to say it won't happen...

    Help Major Issues with Bluetooth Peripherals

    Hey guys. So I got a Logitech Tablet Keyboard (Bluetooth) for my birthday - in order to use with my Note 3. As a result, I went out and bought a Logitech T631 Mouse (Bluetooth) to also use, so that I could have a sort of mini workstation (paired with something like Splashtop, my Note pretty much...

    Mish-Mash of TTS Voices is Driving Me Nuts!

    Alright guys, I've got a bit of a dilemma. Maybe someone can help me. When I first got this Note last week (upgrade from the original Note 1) I was horrified to discover that some Google Now queries would be answered in the normal Google TTS Engine voice, whereas other queries somehow invoked...

    NFC Task Launcher Won't Close Apps

    Simple question: I have NFC Task Launcher, and I have placed an NFC sticker in my car. When I tap my phone to it, it Opens CarHome Ultra. When I tap it again, I want it to close CarHome Ultra. Opening the app works fine, but it doesn't quite close the app. I AM rooted, and the app HAS been...

    Help Go SMS Facebook Photo Issues in ICS

    So, ever since the update to ICS, almost none of my contact photos are showing up in Go SMS. They show up everywhere else! The only contact photos that DO show up are ones that are NOT the result of Facebook integration (so basically just my mom and dad, lol.) Is there something I'm missing...

    Google Wallet Support?

    Now that NFC is enabled with Ice Cream Sandwich, does anyone here have any news about whether or not Google Wallet will support our device at any point? As it stands now, you can install the app, but it says the device isn't supported when you try to run it :(

    Visormount Alternative?

    So I was looking for good car mounts, and came across this thing, which initially got me very excited: Visormount | Universal Smartphone Vehicle Mount Trouble is their site states that it only accepts phones up to 2.8 inches wide. Our Notes are a bit wider than that. Does anyone know of...

    Help Compass Issues

    I am uncertain as to whether this is an EVO issue or just an application issue, but here's the problem. I was using Google Latitude the other day and noticed next to each friend listed was a little arrow that physically points in their direction. I thought that was cool and spun around only...

    Accessories Cigarette Adapter Question

    So I have a cigarette-to-USB adapter already, but it's a large bulky one that sticks out over 1.5 inches from the socket. Not the end of the world, I know, but I just fabricated a little mount for my phone and am trying to now make everything neat and tidy. I saw Sprint's $29.99 "low profile"...

    Seriously!? WTF you STUPID LED!!!

    Ok, WTF. Is it that hard to add a few lines of programming code such that the LED can display more than one thing at a time?! If my phone is charging, or if my battery is 15% or less (and lets face it, it's an EVO, so that's a significant portion of the time) it won't indicate if I have any...

    Press-and-Hold Adjustment

    Perhaps there is a setting for this, but wouldn't it be nice if we could adjust how long you have to press and hold on the stock keyboard app before it activates the shifted character? I feel as though the amount of time it requires you to hold is about 10x longer than a standard key tap. It...

    Help School Me on Update Procedures

    I'm new to Android (coming from E90) and I had a few questions regarding backing up and restoring once you update. Will the update to 2.2 be just that - an update? Or will it be the equivalent of flashing the device meaning I will have to re-install all my apps, contacts, settings, etc... and...
