    Can't get Hangouts to update on wifes phone; update worked on mine.

    yesterday a new version of Hangouts was released and I updated mine (version 1.2.016). I went to the Play Store on my wifes Note and hangouts didn't show as an updateable item so I uninstalled Hangout updates and went back to the store. It showed Hangouts dated Sept 25th so I figured it would...

    need replacement for Keepass...it doesn't allow edits on android app

    while keepass works on PC's and Android, the bad part of it is that it still doesn't allow for editing the original database file (the one I access on my phone via dropbox). I would like another program that works on both android and the PC, is FREE, and allows editing in the android app...

    I was all set to get the Note 2, but...

    they don't have any sort of shell/holster for it. I don't carry phones in my pockets--I always clip them to a belt/waistband. The earliest I've heard of a decent clippable case will be January, for the otterbox. I checked at Amazon, but the $18 item them have has terrible reviews due to the...

    Dissapointed in the screen

    while the whites are stellar (neutral--unlike many current phones like the s3, razr maxx HD, etc that have gray-greenish whites), all four edges of the screen have a darkish band about > 1/8" wide, and irregular. At first I thought it was a "feature" of certain screens to give a 3d effect, but...

    Car mount --horizontal

    Is there a dock that will hold the Note 2 horizontally and automatically put it into "dock mode" like my Moto Bionic? I don't just want something to HOLD the phone, I want it to go into "dock mode" whereby the screen has a few large buttons to access phone, nav, etc.

    Default ringtone assignment overrides Contact's ringtones.

    After setting up some contacts ringtones to various song files, I set a yet-different song as the Phone Default ringtone. After setting up that default, all contact defaults were switched back to the Phone Default. Does yours work that way?? I'm not sure if this behavior was present on GB...

    Is it just me or are the symbols in the notification bar...

    so dim that they are hard to read, compared to when the phone had Gingerbread? For example, I can no longer make out the battery level icon (a 3rd party app i've used forever), or the temperature (from Weatherbug). I've got weatherbug set to display WHITE text, but like all the other icons in...

    If you thought the headphone whine was bad at Bionic launch last year, the ICS whine is far worse.

    Sucks that the new Google Calendar doesn't install on pre-Jelly Bean devices

    Today I installed the new Google Calendar update on my nexus 7. It's awesome for me due to a feature I've wanted forever--instead of being limited to a month, we can sync a year's worth of entries. IIRC, the Note 2 comes with JB. If so, that's going to make me more determined to spend some...

    Tired of Bionic...heard Note 2 is coming to Verizon, so have questions...

    ...of Samsung Note users. Are there any "gotchas" with the Note that might make one want to look to another series (or brand) of Androids? The problem with my Bionic is the freaking 4G data drops. I've had 3 of them and they all do the same thing. the only time they didn't was during the...

    Play Store frequently crashes when accessing My Apps

    This began more than a month ago, I think. Nearly every time I go to the Play Store and choose My Apps, the list of updates shows for a few seconds and then the app closes. The second time I open it, it will be fine. I've had this phone since December and would guess this weirdness has been...
