    Wireless charging pad

    Can anyone recommend a good wireless charging pad for the Note 3? I bought the Expower receiver and pad. When used together, the connection breaks around 30 - 40 times a night. When I use a different pad, it works fine but I'd prefer not to use this one as it has a Japanese plug and a huge...

    Whenever I get an sms, I pull down the notification bar, tap the notification and the bar retracts. Repeat a second time and the sms is opened. Does anyone else have this happen?

    Podcast Manager with storage management

    Can anyone recommend a podcast manager that has an option to specify how much space should be used / left free? I've tried Doggcatcher and don't really like it. I'd happily use MyPod 2 but it's still lacking basic features (eg mark played or unplayed). Thanks :-)

    Has anyone else noticed how loud this phone is?

    Are there any apps or root mods to lower the system volume? For example, the sound effect that plays when starting Google Now voice search is way too loud, and I have everything set to its lowest volume including system

    ISP / Mobile usage app for UK

    Hi, In the past (in another country), I had an app that could log into my ISP, mobile, Dropbox etc. and have widgets on my home screen to show my usage. Unfortunately this app doesn't support UK ISP's and mobile networks. Does anyone know of one that does? Thanks.

    Help Strange marks in battery compartment

    Hi, Strange, random question, but does anyone else have some hairline marks running down the battery compartment, under the battery? Just noticed them, swear they weren't there before but the battery seems to have no points sharp enough. Just curious :-)

    Screen is not flat

    Hi, When I had my Note 2 on a table, I happened to glance at it from an angle and could see from a reflection on the screen that the screen wasn't completely flat. The reflection 'bent' as I changed my angle of vision. I hadn't noticed this before. Has anyone else seen this?

    Video player with sorting and mark as watched

    Hi, I'm looking for a video player app that has sort options (preferably by date added) and the ability to remember resume points and which videos have been watched. MX Player would be ideal if they added sort options. Can anyone recommend anything?

    ROMs What's the point of a custom rom?

    I'm curious as to what advantages / disadvantages I'd get from a custom rom. I have Googled this many times and spent many hours reading up on it but still can't see the point. Updates - I know there'd be more frequent updates, but there'd also be more frequent bugs. I seem to read a lot that...

    Task List / To Do with location

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a to do app with location based reminder, preferably with a sync to a service so the data isn't just on my phone? I looked at Remember The Milk, but I generally don't like subscription-based services. I looked at MyLifeOrganized but the location-tracking is a joke...

    Can the bezel wear away?

    I've heard plenty of stories about how easy it is to scratch or chip the bezel through dropping the phone, but could the bezel wear away with everyday use? I want to take the case off my phone, but once had another phone with a similar finish and it didn't take long for the finish to wear away.

    Why is this?

    Hi everyone, Notice anything wrong with this picture? Yep, I have 2 Gmail apps. I've found some posts about this, but no reasons or solutions, so I thought I'd have a go at saying 'Help' lol. Any ideas as to why or how to get rid?

    Hey everyone, I've just rooted my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.1, installed Sterricsons Busybox app from the Play Store and installed Busybox to system/bin. Now, I can't uninstall Busybox (not the app, the system/bin installation). Is there any reason this would happen? Is it anything I...
