    Accessories Included AKG USB-C earbuds - telling Left from Right

    It's not very easy, lol. So, they are marked, just above where the wire enters the earbud, on the inside. The L is embossed, and the R is engraved. However, they are almost impossible to see in poor light. So the EASY way to tell left from right... The right has the volume controls on and...

    What keyboard are you using for everyday text input?

    I've tried both the Samsung stock keyboard and Google's Gboard. Of the 2, I prefer Google's. I can press a button to switch between writing and typing. However, it doesnt automatically start handwriting mode when the S-Pen is pulled out. Samsung's Keyboard does. The pen strokes in Google seem...

    What are your favorite Apps?

    So, what are your favourite Apps? They don't have to be Note specific. The top App on my list is unfortunately no longer available, but for me it is indispensable. It is called AlarmPad and allows for proper alarms, not just reminders, to be created just by putting a hashtay in a calendar...

    Accessories Screen Protectors - do you plan to get/use one?

    I'm planning on getting the Whitestone Dome, but wondered what your thoughts were on the matter. I'm not a fan of plastic screen protectors, and as soon as the WSD turns up I'll be replacing the factory installed protector. So what's your choice? None? Plastic? Glass? Folio/Flip case...

    Thoughts to the future...

    I know this is the "Note 10" sub, but a thought struck me this morning when reading another posters connects regarding the N10 and people wanting the S Own in a smaller package. When it debuted, I always wanted the SPen, but not the size of the Note (things have changed for me, currently have...

    Accessories Cases

    So, pre-ordering the N10+... But stuck on what case to get. I'm sure Sammy will release a new case to go with it, so I'm holding off on that for just now, but I thought I'd gather your thoughts based on current offerings for the S10+/N9... I'm going to get the Whitestone Dome screen...

    Alternative to Hangouts - that will read SMS *AND* IM's

    I'm looking for a messaging app that will replace Hangouts. I like the fact that Hangouts IM's and phone SMS's are grouped together. What I don't like is that there is no dark theme, and that you have to press [SHIFT] to get [CARRIAGE RETURN] - I don't need Emoji's, I need to be able to...

    Looking for an app to set alarms by calendar events.

    Hi. I am looking for an app whereby I can set alarms based on calendar entries. At the moment I am having to use multiple apps, and I am still not quite where I need to be. The problem is I work shifts, but those shifts can change on a daily basis. Add to that that I use a profile...

    Display time-out resetting and icon disappearing

    I have an international S3 on 3UK running 4.1.2 I have experienced the odd restart - normally when copy/pasting large amounts of text in chrome. Anyway, 2 things are puzzling me. On a restart I lose 1 of the apps at the bottom of the screen. It is currently Messaging, but it doesn't...
