    Help Switching off clock and emergency contact swipe screen ...?

    I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the...

    Does anyone know a good active car holder for the Mega 6.3? I'm a big fan of Brodit, and used their first class active holders for my last two phones (the Note1 and Dell Streak). Unfortunately they inform me that they're not going to be making one for the Mega, so I'm looking for an...

    Help Hot phone, battery won't charge :(

    My Note has started to run hot (around the camera area) and the battery drains within hours. Also, disturbingly, it will not charge unless it's switched off. If it's on, even when plugged in to charge the battery level goes down, not up. I'm confident that this is not a battery fault, I've tried...

    A keyboard that allows text selection...?

    Can anyone help me with finding a keyboard? I currently use Swype because it is the ONLY keyboard I have ever managed to find that allows text selection with up/down/left/right arrows.

    I'm in England. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a Mugen 5400 extended battery for the Galaxy Note? The only supplier in the country that I know of is Mobile Fun, and they're currently out of stock. I know that I could order from either Mugen themselves or American ebay (there are none...

    Removing blue marker in Swype

    Does anyone know a fix to get rid of the blue "tab"-like marker that appears under the cursor when using Swype keyboard on ICS? I've tried to learn to like it but it simply gets in my way, hold up my work and irritates me and I'd love to see the back of it!

    Messaging/SMS client without speech bubbles

    I'm desperately looking for a messaging client which does not use the standard left/right side speech bubble/boxes. I've just moved into a Galaxy Note (running ICS 4.0.3) from my trusty old Dell Streak (Gingerbread 2.2.2), and U'm very disappointed to find that messaging uses the common speech...

    Root Simplest possible root

    I'm buying a Note this week and want to root it straight out of the box. But this is purely so that I can remove bloatware and run the odd root-only app. That's all. I don't want to change the ROM or do anything else. Can anyone recommend a tutorial for the simplest possible, root-access-only...

    Which is the best extended battery?

    I want to get a 5000mAh extended battery and back cover. But ... Seidio or Mugen? Does anyone know if any company will release (or have released) a battery with NFC? I love the idea of the kickstand on the Mugen, but I don't want that to be the deciding factor. Thoughts, tips, comments...

    Root Beginners guide to rooting?

    I'm trying to root my Streak. Not so that I can put in any new ROMS, just so that I can tweak slightly the stock rom that's already in there. I've been searching hard for a simple guide (for those new to all this), but everything I find (90% of which is on xda developers), immediately launches...

    Help Own photo shown in messaging

    In "Messaging", how do I get my own photograph to display with the "Me" messages? I would have thought it would read the picture under "Own Number" in contacts, but it doesn't. And while on the subject, "Me" is terribly childish, does anyone know a way to change it to my actual name?
