    audio jack/speaker issues...

    For those that have been having 3.5 jack/speaker issues as I have, this is what I have noticed/figured out. The issues I have been having, as well as hearing from other posters, is that the music volume severely drops (or in my case completely drops) when the next song comes up either manually...

    switiching default music player on S-voice?

    I got my note 3 yesterday, and am loving it. Other than a slightly lose home button (not a big deal to me, probably wouldn't have even noticed if not read about here), I do not seem to have any of the issues some seem to be having. I will probably use google now for most of my voice stuff, but...

    Have had the OG since release day and am probably going to jump on the Rezound. I've never switched phones since being on Android and am wondering about a couple of things. Can I wipe my phone and access the SD card (through the phone) on my OG once my new phone is activated, and if so, how...

    Help GPS icon keeps popping up

    In the past, I've always left my GPS on without the GPS icon popping up unless it was in use (G Maps, Google web page, Cardiotrainer, etc.) and I never had any real issues with battery drain. Now, almost every other time I look at my phone, the icon is showing; and I have noticed much more...

    Help tips to speed up lag?

    Did a quick search, but nothing showed up that I wasn't aware of. 2.2 lagged my phone in a big way. Actually almost bricked it at first, but managed to do a factory reset, then reformatted the sd and it helped, but it is still laggy. The more I put on my sd, the slower it gets. I am currently...

    Help geotagging issue

    Prior to today, when I would map the lacation of where a photo was taken, google maps would map it very acurately, now it does it very generically. I.e., I will take a pic @ my work which is over 160,000 acres and it would map where the photo was taken to almost the nearest tree...now it ignores...

    What if I just don't update?

    So, my music player app (Meridian) has decided to impleminet an update which "collect anonymouns data usage"...which doesn't sound cool to me. So, what if I just don't update? I assume the dev can't collect info from me if I don't update, correct? Will the version I'm using expire or something?

    Slacker not changing stations

    On both my wifes droid and mine, Slacker will not change stations. i.e. if you go back to the station lists and select another station, it will just put you back to the last station you were listening to. I powered up/down my phone and that worked only once (it worked for the first station...

    Scratched it...

    :mad: It's small, but it's there. Of course that is all I seem to focus on. I opted to not put on invsishield after watching the key test video. I have no idea how it happened. I imagine maybe sand could scratch it...I may have had a bit in my pocket. I'm sure I'll get over it, it is small and...

    questions re MMS

    I have sent my wife a couple of pictures via text and she says they will not open on her end. The app asks me to auto-resize because the file is too large, I hit yes and it seems to send on my end. Any thoughts on why she would not get them? I have used both the pre-installed app and handcent...

    3G/1x switching back and forth

    I'm a noob to the whole smartphone with data thing. Is it normal for my phone to switch in and out of 3G in an area that the verizon map shows as being a 3G area? At home I seem to stay on the 3G fairly constantly, but at work (which is at the edge of coverage) and especially while driving I...
