    GN3 is great but....

    No problems with the phone now that I have solved the WiFi problem. It's great. 1. One reason I went for the GN3 was that I have a GN 10.1. I wanted to have both my devices under the Samsung paradigm so it would be easier to go from one to the other. But NO: Physical buttons instead of...

    WiFi issues revisited

    Like others I have encountered GN3 WiFi connection problems. Slow internet connection disabled etc. I have Hughes Net. And not the most expensive WiFi. I have found a cause of my problems. When I have more than one device using WiFi the GN3 won't work. When I have only the GN3 connected it...

    Help WiFi problem

    I have Hughes Net internet. WiFi. My GN3 keeps disabling the WiFi saying it is too slow. It works fine with my GN 10.1 and my old phone. Any ideas? UPDATE: strange things happening now. At first my GN3 was extremely slow downloading via WiFi while complaining about the WiFi being unstable...

    Note 3 phone reception in rural areas.

    Our farm is about 8 miles from the nearest Verizon tower. I was reluctant to buy the GN3 because of a bad experience with the Galaxy Nexus 2 years ago. However I took the leap this afternoon. Happily reception is a good solid 2 bars. Better than my Droid Razr. Thought someone out there...

    Update?

    All the new S Pen features on the new notes... Any chance they will come to the Note 10.1 in the future? Just wishful thinking.. Sorry, didn't read ahead.... someone beat me to it.

    Do we really need PCs?

    I have been using one Android device or another for several years now. Using a GN10.1 for a year now. My windows laptop has been gathering dust for quite a while. Recently I dug it out to work on some CDs. I was stunned by how clumsy the windows interface was. Awkward. It took so long to...

    Sour Grapes

    I am posting this topic is the forlorn hope that someone at Google will read it. My Droid Razr is 20 months old. Shortly after I bought it Motorola released the Razr Maxx. OK, I can take a slap in the face.... Now my battery won't hold of a full charge. Also my screen frequently has little...

    Need to know

    What is the general understanding of the following specs on the gn 3? 1. Will the screen be higher resolution than the gn 2? 2. Will the battery be changeable? 3. SD slot? Many thanks for any thoughts on these points? I am aware that no one knows for sure. The big decision for me...

    Camera

    Just a snap shooter on the GN. Photo quality seems good. Today I read about photosphere on android 4.2. It says that panorama is on earlier android versions. My gn camera doesn't have a panarama mode. My old droid Razr does. Comparing the droid Razr to my gn camera I discovered that the...

    Help Ext SD card

    I need to understand what I can and cannot use the SD card for. Using Lecture Notes I can't get it to store my notebooks on the External SD card. (actually I can't find where the app is storing my notebooks at all). Any ideas on Lecture Notes? I have the GN set to store new photos on the ext...

    After 3 months with 10.1.

    Finally got my Epson wifi printer to print from my 10.1. From every app... Except SNOTE. Pretty arrogant of Samsung. Wish I had bought the 4g version. Need Navigation on the go. Don't use S-Pen as much as I thought I would. Still working on that. Slightly unhappy that the SD card...

    Have gn 10.1, using Razr phone, time to upgrade. Note 2? How do folks combine the two (not have things on one that you need on the other & V. V.? )
