    Wrong way S Pen... Any hope?

    I'm almost too embarrassed to post this. I was in bed in the dark using the S-pen on my beloved Note 5, when my rambunctious kitten jumped on me demanding to be fed. Careful to not lose it, I inserted the pen... the wrong way. I haven't tried to remove it for fear of breaking it. Can...

    Help Galaxy Tab S 10.5 stuck in "Downloading..."

    Hi. My SG Tab S 10.5 ( Android 4.4.2) was working fine last night. This morning I woke to find it frozen in the "Samsung" start up screen. I tried holding down the off button, but that didn't work. Then I tried doing what I thought was a soft reset by holding the volume up, off and on...

    Lefties Lament

    Little that can be done about this, but I just wanted to gripe a little. I am a Palm user from way back, starting with the IIIxe. I was so excited to get the Note 3, my first non-Palm with a stylus. Even though it's been years since I used a Palm, I am having a hard time getting used to the...

    Intermittant screen defect?

    I've had my Note 3 for a little over a week now, and I'm worried it may have a defect. Occasionally, I get a bright green line that runs the entire height of the screen on the far left side. It runs through whatever else is on the screen. I don't know what triggers it, and I can't make it...

    Is there any way to stop the annoying zoom?

    I updated to Jelly Bean recently, and now the annoying zoom zone on the side of a Web page is driving me crazy. How do I turn it off? I don't see the point of it. I mean is the un-pinch movement really so difficult? I scroll all the time... I only adjust the zoom once.

    Unwittingly upgraded my Tab to Jellybean

    I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 last week. It was running ICS 4.0.4, which I'm familiar with as it is on my phone. This early this morning I woke up and saw that Samsung had sent me a notice that an upgrade was available. Thinking this is similar to the updates that Microsoft sends me...

    Help Problems after upgrading to ICS

    Last week I got a notice that my Samsung Captivate Glide could be updated to ICS 4.0. I had some problems upgrading initially, but eventually discovered that you can't use any old micro USB cable, the Samsung one was needed. Anyway, since upgrading, my battery life has been terrible. It takes...

    Help Keyboard with funny habits

    Hi all, I've had my Captivate Glide for over a week now, and have been trying to figure out some issues with the keyboard. This only seems to happen in when composing an email or text message. When I need to either use the shift or alt key to cap or use the blue symbols, I then have to hit the...

    Help Voice recognition stopped working...

    Hi all, I just bought a Samsung Captivate Glide this week (on AT&T), and have been slowly learning my way around it. This is my first Android phone. I am migrating from HandyShopper on a Palm to ToMarket. I was happily adding items to my list via the voice input button, just added "detergent"...

    World's most loyal customer makes a change

    Hello all...Android newbie here. After many, MANY years, I no longer have a working Palm device. I started with a IIIxe, with the added program "WeekView". The Palms continuously upgraded to my most recent one, the Pre Plus, and WeekView upgraded along with it to DateBk6 (which only worked...
