    Anyone having major issues with Google Voice calls since it was merged with hangouts?

    I have GV setup on my Note 3 to make ALL of my phone calls. It's been that way for a year and has functioned flawlessly. I place a call on my phone and it connects through GV with very little delay, maybe a second or 2, and otherwise a perfect call. Fast forward to Google Voice being...

    Help Replacing Voice Mate as default for BT headset?

    Is there anyway to replace the awful Voice Mate with google command when I hit my Bluetooth headset connect button?!?! Ideally I'd like to avoid interacting with my phone itself, as it's usually in my pocket, and I'd like to simply dial from my headset. Also is anyone experiencing bad sound...

    Root [AT&T] Install Note 2 Titanium backup to Note 3?

    I have a Titanium backup from my old Note 2, anyone care to venture a guess if this would install onto a Note 3? It would be nice to get setup this quick, I miss Apple's backup method and wish Google had something like it.

    I gave up my AT&T accounts and just use their prepaid, goPhone option so I don't have an account to log onto when ordering. I'm going to pay full price, but I'm not seeing any options to order this way. Anyone else have the same issue? Anyone else solve it?

    Any Android browser capable of using Apple's Find My iPhone yet ?!?!

    One of the things that I LOVE about a windows tablet is there are no compromises, I can do anything with no limitations. For example, I can pull up icloud and use Find my iphone and it works perfectly. In my past experience none of the Android browsers were capable of displaying and using...

    Any good apps to replace the button bar?

    Thinking about picking up the 2nd gen N7 but between the humungous bezels and the software buttons the screen just looks so small. I can't do anything about the bezels, but I was hoping there was some apps out there to get rid of the software buttons. I know when I had a 1st gen N7 there were...

    GPS Offline?

    I'm thinking about picking up a 2013 N7 but didn't feel like spending the money on a LTE version this time around. I think I'm going to mainly use it for gaming and GPS. I know the GPS works without cellular service, but then you have no maps, is there a way to pre-download the maps so I can...

    Root [AT&T] Any apps in multi window hack for i317?

    I just rooted my ATT i317 and had heard there was a way to get any app to work with multi window. I'd like to keep it completely stock and don't want to flash a rom to it. I know there exist apk files to do it on the international version, but I'm not having any luck finding any way to get...

    Help How many with decreased battery life after 4.1.2 solved it with a factory reset?

    Just curious, as I just finished setting up my phone perfectly and don't relish the idea of setting it up again. After installing 4.1.2 my battery life is MUCH lower. In googling it seems some have had success simply doing a factory reset. Has anyone else seemed to have luck with doing this?

    Any messaging app that can send messages to multiple devices like iMessage?

    I'm looking for an app that sends messaging to multiple phones, sort of like iMessage on iOS, but hopefully it could work on both Android and iOS devices. I like to swap out frequently between my Note 2 and my iphone 5 and find myself in mid conversation, but then switching over to a new phone...

    Help handwriting rcognition is AWFUL!

    I'm hoping there is some kind of learning mode for handwriting recognition because out of the box its just awful. I'm coming from a windows tablet though so my expectations may be high. If the word I'm writing is in the spell checker dictionary it seems to be a bit better, but iits not then it...

    Help How to force 4.1.2 upgrade?

    I had a Note 2 which upgraded OTA to 4.1.2 no problem, recently I had to replace it under warranty. This new one refuses to see the 4.1.2 update OTA, I also installed KIES and it also doesn't see 4.1.2. Is there any way to download and manually install, or force OTA/KIES to update me to 4.1.2.?

    Help Smaller icons/UI elements?

    Any programs or settings to make icons smaller or to fit more of them on screen, also to make widgets smaller? I seem to remember fitting a ton of stuff on my nexus 7 screens, although understandably that's a larger screen but it's about the same resolution. It seems as if widgets and icons...

    $549 note 2 from ATT

    I'm not sure if this a good deal or just a regular deal, but I'm happy with it. I ordered one using a phone line I just renewed for 2 years with an iPhone, buying it with no commitment was $549. It does look like there is a $100 instant rebate for resigning but it seems as if they gave it to me...

    Help Possible to use Note 2 as a data only device?

    Anyone successfully use the Note 2 as a data only device. I'm on AT&T and have an iphone 5 I'm happy with as a phone, but I hate it for anything like browsing the web. I normally carry around an ipad but lately I've grown sick of having an extra device in my hand. The ipad mini and even the...

    Lack of settings, notifications, contrast, etc grrrr

    I'm loving my N7 form factor, it's so liberating to be able to pocket it and have my hands free. What I'm having a hard time is with how sparse and uncustomizable Android as an OS is, or what I am assuming its iteration on the N7. For example, I can't find a way to turn off keyboard clicks...

    Is there an app switcher like in iOS?

    Is there some kind of app switcher, kind of like an Alt-tab for windows, or like pressing the home button twice on the iphone and you get a small horizontal list of open programs along the bottom? Also anyone know the status of ATT releasing the multi window update?

    Wow !! Just got my ATT Note 2

    This thing is pretty amazing. I got a lot of funny looks at the store, the "that's a huge sucker" kind of looks, but I was kind of expecting that. My sole purpose is to ditch any tablets as I'm tired of carrying them around. I'm still struggling with the size, but I may just keep my iphone as...

    Multi window on Android/nexus 7?

    I was just reading about the Note 2 getting multi window support. My main tablet is a Windows 8 Pro which also has multi window support in Metro, and of course in desktop mode I can do whatever I want with windows. I'm getting the Nexus 7 as a travel tablet, is there any option for Multi...

    Nexus 7, full GPS/navigation

    I'm really considering the Nexus 7 as it looks very slick overall. The only issue I have is with the lack of connectivity. I currently have an ipad3 with ATT cellular connectivity, but I've been thinking of getting a smaller device for a while now. The ipad mini is not on my radar due to the...
