    Help I need tips on Note taking

    Recently got my Note 2 and I know it takes some time to get the hang of taking notes. Whenever I take notes, my palm is constantly hitting the back button on my phone. What's a good tip to stop this or do I just need to practice some more? Another thing, say I'm writing a shopping list in...

    Is There A Camera Preview Duration??

    I just received my Note 2. I was messing with the camera and noticed there isn't a preview duration like on my HTC Inspire. Like after I take a pic, I want to be able to view it right then before I take another pic. I checked the settings but didn't see anything. Is there not a setting?

    Do Homescreens Lag?

    I know I've seen this mentioned in a thread before but I can't find it. I played with a Note today for a little bit in an ATT store. Scrolling through the home pages was laggy and a bit jerky. The rest of the phone seemed pretty smooth. Is this a problem on ALL Note phones or just some?

    Can Apps Be Stored On External Memory Card?

    Because I'm on the fence about The Note or S3 I search in both forums. While searching in the S3 forum, someone was saying that apps cannot be moved to external memory card. External memory card is only for music, movies, pics. They said the same thing holds true for the Note. Is this true...

    Last time I had a Samsung phone (Captivate) I remember I didn't like using Kies but don't remember why. I just used the drag and drop method. What exactly are the advantages of using Kies??

    Back story: I had the first 3 iphones then my first Android phone was the Samsung Captivate. I loved that phone. The following year I got the HTC Inspire. I love this phone a lot better than the Captivate. I swore I would never go back to Touchwiz and stay with HTC Sense. Well I've heard...

    How large of memory card for Thrive 10 inch 8gb?

    Does the 8bg Thrive accept large memory cards? Like over 100gb? I'm wanting to buy a Toshiba Thrive 10 in. The 8gb is about 100.00 less than the 16 gb. (on QVC) My question is, what's the reason why someone would want to buy the 16gb when the 8gb is cheaper? I mean, can't you just put a 32...

    Does A Voice To Text App Exist?

    There's probably something really simple already on my phone to do this but I just can't think right now. I've downloaded a few "notes" apps but none of them did what I wanted. I work for a realtor and I have to go into properties and take a bunch of notes about each one. I have been...

    Netflix / Crackle and my Data Plan

    I have a 2gb data plan with AT&T. I'm considering downloading either Crackle or Netflix (I don't have a paid membership yet to Netflix). I'm assuming they both stream movies on both wifi and 3g (4g). By using wifi, it doesn't use any of my data plan, correct? But 3g, 4g would?
