    Help Dual-CDMA/GSM and Hangouts question

    So is this a totally unlocked dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone? Will a phone purchased from the Play Store be able to be activated on Sprint or is Sprint getting a CDMA only variant? Second question is regarding Hangouts. Will Hangouts on KitKat get the SIM-Free calling feature that iOS recently got?

    Picasa Web Albums Problem

    I remember having this problem on my GTab 8.9 as well. Whenever I have pictures from my Google account sync to my Note II, it syncs every picture I've posted on G+ as a separate album, which horribly clutters my gallery with irrelevant and pointless albums. I remember not having this problem...

    Missing notification icon and updating with root

    2 questions. First: I have a blank spot in my notification bar up top that doesn't seem to correllate with any of my apps. Does anyone else experience this? See picture below for reference. Second question, I rooted using Odin, but I kept the stock bootloader. Basically I rooted just so I...

    My impressions

    Picked it up today at the Sprint Store. Tried to get it at Best Buy, but that's a story for another day. Build: The build feels really nice. It's definitely "plasticky", but the slider mechanism feels pretty solid. No less than the Samsung Moment it's replacing, and that thing has lasted 2+...

    NFC Help

    So I went to McDonalds today so I could try out Google Wallet. I went to the wireless settings to make sure NFC was turned on, went to Google Wallet to make sure it was unlocked and the $10 debit card was selected as the card I wanted to use, and I made sure I connected to the McDonalds wifi and...

    On my original EVO 4G running CM7, I can long press the search button to get the voice command box and say things like "Send message to _______, " and then state my message in order to send text messages. On my N7 when I say "Send message to______, " it responds with "This device cannot perform...

    Looking for a keyboard case

    I am looking to see if anyone knows about a slideout keyboard case for the Galaxy Nexus like the ones they sell for the iPhone. My wife needs something to replace her Samsung Moment and the Nexus would be perfect if I could find a keyboard case, since she demands she have a keyboard. When I...

    Sony NSZ-GT1 doesn't show up as a playable network device

    I have the Sony GTV Blu-Ray Player. At first it showed up on my Windows networks as a playable media device. I could right click videos, go to Play To, and select the Sony Internet TV, and it would start playing on the GTV. But then it suddenly disappeared. It still shows up on the network as...

    Help How to update?

    I've noticed on my GTab 8.9 that when I go to the settings to check for a software update it forces me to either sign in with or create a Samsung account. I do not want to get a Samsung account but I can't see any other way to get my tablet to check for updates, i.e. the new 3.2 update that just...

    Sony Blu Ray DLNA support

    Can anyone with a Sony Bluray Google TV confirm what DLNA specs it supports? I have gotten mixed messages from the internets :confused: . DLNA's certification website says it is only "Photo" certified, but other sites seem to indicate that it is video and music certified as well. My...

    Help Back Cover removal

    Okay, so I was reading through the manual and I realized that I can actually remove the back cover and install a MicroSD card. I just assumed that this thing was sealed up. I tried to remove the back cover but I keep getting nervous because I'm placing a lot of pressure on the device but it...

    Gamestop Bluetooth Tablet Controller

    Okay, so is there some "special sauce" that Gamestop is putting in their bluetooth tablet controller or is it just a basic Bluetooth controller? And if that's the case, couldn't I just buy any basic bluetooth controller form say, Logitech, instead of paying Gamestop's ridiculous $99 pricetag?

    MHL Support on Honeycomb?

    Hey everyone, I just got my EVO View and updated it to honeycomb. I bought an MHL cable from Amazon because I read that the EVO View had an MHL connector on it. So I plugged it into my EVO and my HDTV, the screen on my HDTV went black indicating that it detected at least "something" plugged in...

    High profile h.264 support?

    One of my major beefs with my galaxy tab 8.9 and other tegra 2 devices is that they cannot play the videos that I encode in high profile h.264 even though my HTC evo can play it just fine. Can anyone confirm that this problem had been fixed on tegra 3 devices? For reference,I use freemake to...

    Got my 8.9, still unsure

    I got an 8.9 last night at BB. I definitely love Samsung's form factor. That thinness is a must have in a tablet IMHO. I had a Xoom for about a month before I returned it because of its weight and uneven shape on the back. The plastic construction is bearable, but longterm I am going to want...
