    The only thing I don't like

    Overall I love the Note 3 but I have to say the only thing I don't like is the faux leather back. I have had it for 6 days now and it is already starting to look dirty, as I thought it would. I have finally had a case delivered by Spigen but if I wasn't using a case I would have to find an "S3 -...

    Negative Reviews?

    I have a Galaxy Note 2 but I recently bought a used Galaxy Ace to use for a PC Modding idea I have had. I was somewhat concerned reading the reviews of it since they seemed to be quite negative.

    Feeling naked

    I had an awful, hideous thing happen to me tonight; I went out for a couple of pints and FORGOT to take my Galaxy Note 2! I couldn't surf the Internet, check how my items were doing on Ebay or send texts to friends. I felt completely naked as though I had gone back in time to 1975 when there...

    Maybe an odd question but is there any way it is possible to view the output from a desktop PC on a Note 2 as if it were a monitor? If possible USB -> Note 2?

    Recovering Deleted Files

    Hi all, I have a friend who has a Galaxy S3 and he has, for no apparent reason, deleted all of his photo's. I looked it it up on the web and found Stellar Phoenix photo recovery.

    I recently bought a Galaxy Note 2 and I gave my Galaxy S3 to a pal. He is visiting for the weekend and I said I would update the phone to Jellybean, but when I plugged it into my PC I found it has already updated? I thought Jellybean was an upgrade that took a while to install - is it possible...

    OK, here is the scenario; I got my Galaxy S3 in July, shortly after it was released, and soon after that a Samsung official Desktop Dock.

    Phone Snobbery?

    I was in a pub tonight and there was a guy in there with a pretty girl and when he got his phone out it was an absolute piece of cheese - physical keyboard with blue lights and a tiny screen. I chuckled to myself. Should I feel bad about this?

    I have the International quad core Galaxy S3 (not rooted) and I have been running the Geekbench 2 benchmark on it but the results seem to vary wildly no matter what I do. Does anyone have tips for optimising the overall score, short of overclocking the CPU?

    Help Galaxy S2 Totally Bricked, any ideas?

    Hi all, last October I bought a Galaxy S2 from a guy on Ebay. It came with no box, rooted and with Cyanogen Mod 7. To cut a long story short I found that, having bought a Galaxy S3 and wanting to sell the S2, that it had been flashed with the IMEI number of an old Nokia phone. However ebay told...
