    Help Video stuttering

    I've downloaded about 4 Google Play movies on my 10.1 2014 edition both in SD and HD formats and have observed a 1-2 second stutter in every movie so far about every 5 to 10 minutes. Has anyone else been having this issue with their Note? I have a 32GB wifi version (US)... Pretty annoying...

    I'm looking for anti-slip battery cover replacements for my AT&T phone. Something like this one. Has anyone seen any others along these lines? I'm not looking for a case, but a replacement cover that provides extra grip without too much extra size.....

    iPhone SIM in a Nexus 4

    My employer will supply an AT&T contract for me (unlimited usage on everything), but I have to get an iPhone. I don't want an iPhone. I'd rather buy a Nexus 4 with my own money, get the company-negotiated contract, and put the SIM in the Nexus 4. Does anyone know if this SIM swap will throw...

    [Verizon] Full throttle for ~45 min after booting

    I've noticed a strange issue with my phone. This has occured every since I've put my phone on a JB ROM (full data/cache/Dalvik wipe). I'm on the BAMF ROM (started on 2.2, then 2.3.1 and now 2.3.5) and I even repeated a full wipe and reflash the first time I saw this behavior to see if that...

    Easy mobile picture posting process question

    Dropbox kind of works for this, but I was wondering what people do for this scenario, if anyone is doing it. I'd like to be able to take a picture, upload it to a host, and post a link to the picture in a thread so that the picture shows inline. All from my phone without too many gyrations...

    I primarily listen to podcasts with BeyondPod in the car. My car autoconnects to my phone (sweet) and immediately, Google Music launches and starts playing music (bitter). Is there any way to disable bluetooth "headset control" for the Music app? Headset Blocker did not work for me. The...

    Help The data connectivity problem appears to be region-dependent

    This post was in another Verizon SGN thread: I had experiences over the holidays that mirror this experience. I live in the Tri-Cities, TN (Kingsport/Johnson City/Bristol) area and have very good 4G and 3G coverage. I've had the Verizon SGN since 12/16 and I have experienced none of the...

    Help The effect of Light Flow usage on battery life?

    Any app like this should have some impact on battery life, but I'm wondering if it uses a bit more than we'd like, given that watt*hours are so precious to most of us; especially with this device. I'm curious about what fraction of SGN users are using the Light Flow app for notification/LED...
