    Help Image Clip with S-Pen isn't so seamless

    I've got 5 images that I want to quickly crop and post on imgur, but I can't seem to do it. Looks like I'll have to "edit" them with the crop tool. Here's what I did: I used the S-Pen and chose image clip. Then, I drew my square around the part I wanted, and my only options are to save in...

    Be sure to register your Note 4 with Samsung

    I registered my Note 4 in the beginning of January. I was given a coupon code to save 50% of any accessory under $49.99, but the MHL 3.0 cable was on back order. Well, I got my email last night that they are back in stock, so I ordered one and used the code. However, the next thing surprised...

    Is my screen really using less than 4% per hour

    So I've got 41% battery left, meaning I've used 59%. Phone shows 4 hours 15 minutes of screen use accounting for 27% use. Here's my math, is it correct? .27 x .59 = .159 .159 / 4.25 = .037 (or 3.7%) I keep it on auto, and haven't been in bright light much today. This seems very impressive...

    Does the fitness app prevent the Note 4 from sleeping?

    Since the fitness app keeps track of the steps I've taken, does the Note 4 ever reach a state of deep sleep? I like the pedometer idea, but I also wonder if my battery life would flourish more if I disabled it. Also, by how much more?

    Suggestions for Windshield mount for Note 4 with case...

    My old windshield mount will actually just fit my Note 4 when naked, but as thin as the Note 4 is, there's some extra room depth-wise. It will not fit it with a case however. When shopping for windshield mounts, I see that many list the Note series of phones, but as stated, my old mount will...

    I lost 2 homescreen panels on reboot

    I made 7 homescreens for my Note 4, and after I rebooted (well, I let the battery run out and it forced reboot) 2 of them were gone. One of them had my music widgets on it, so I know it wasn't an empty page. I can't remember what the other one had. Any ideas? VZW Note 4.

    Root [Virgin Mobile] I need some direction, slight hand-holding :)

    I'm not that big on the rooting scene. I do what I need to when I need to, and then I drop off for months before something draws me back in. Well, that damn KitKat notification has finally pissed me off enough to do something about it. I've been ignoring it for at least 4 months now, and...

    Help sdcard0 data gone after 4.3

    I updated to 4.3 today and now my sdcard0 stuff is gone. There's a fraction of the data left behind. Actually, the phone knows that 9 gigs is used but only about a half gig is accessible. Also, ES File Explorer calls it "0" instead of "sdcard0". Astro still calls it sdcard0 but neither of them...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] I FINALLY updated to MG2, bars are lower now

    Ignore this thread. My bars are up to 5 all of a sudden. It seems everytime over the past 3 hours I looked at my phone, it had 1-2 bars, but right now, I have 5. I'll keep an eye on it and update this if it becomes an issue at a later date.

    Help Text Message wasn't sent...

    I sent a text message this morning, and then turned the screen off. About 7 minutes later, I turned the screen back on to a notice a "network signal wasn't found" message and I had the option to hit the OK button. Upon doing that, my text message from 7 minutes ago gets sent. I'm wondering...

    Help S3 drawing LOTS of current.

    So for the first week or so I've been following my battery performance with battery monitor widget. I noticed that when sleeping it would draw only like 15-40 MA for the most part. Using the phone with the screen on would draw 300-400mA. If I used navigation and left the screen on, I could draw...

    [VIRGIN MOBILE] I just added insurance to my S3

    I had to call them to verify the deductible as it's not specifically mentioned. It took the guy about 15 minutes and several trips back to the phone to tell me he's still looking for the answer...when he finally told me it's $100 like any top tier phone (iPhones excluded as they go through apple...

    Help How to deactivate the EVO V?

    I am still not 100% certain what I'll be doing with my EVO V now that I've got a Galaxy S3. Part of me wants to keep it as a spare phone in case something <gulp> happens to my S3 :( But the other part of me wants to sell it and recover the money while I can before the value drops too much...

    Root [Virgin Mobile] MSL DATA info needed, can't get into 4G

    For anyone who's got the MSL for your phone, can you check the DATA information for me and see what some of the default settings for the 4G LTE connection are? How many seconds is the retry? How often does it poll for 4G? I seem to have difficulty getting into 4G in areas that I know 4G is...

    Help [VIRGIN MOBILE] Can you click on a phone number and dial it?

    I seem to vaguely recall Apple patenting the idea of clicking on a phone number and then having the phone call it. Nevermind that Unified Communications by Microsoft does this...but I guess that's not on a mobile device...so whatever. Is the S3 plague by this? Can you click on a phone number...

    Can I put a pay-as-you-go SIM into Android phone?

    Here's my background. My mother is in a wheelchair and I've decided that the home phone service isn't as robust and reliable as I prefer. It's $30 per year (NetTalk) just like MagicJack. Occassionally, the router or the ISP has an issue, and rarely (but sometimes) the VoIP Provider (NetTalk)...

    Root ROM Hoppers and song playlists...

    Can I make playlists that are persistent from one ROM to another? I made a playlist one time, and for some reason, assumed that a folder on the SD was created to manage it, but after wiping and rooting, that playlist wasn't there anymore. So I figure it's created within the ROM. Is there any...

    Root Governors and Schedulers

    What is the best governor and scheduler to prioritize the playing of music...and more specifically, streaming it over bluetooth to a bluetooth receiver of some sort? One of my biggest gripes is when the music cuts out for a brief moment when I do something that requires more processing power...

    Root How do I permanently change my Bluetooth MAC Address?

    I have a need to change my BlueTooth MAC address. I've done a little google searching, but I am not really sure if those methods would work for me. I saw some advice for people on CM7 with regards to a few lines of code, but I am not sure that the change is persistent after a reboot. I'd...

    Help How to manage bluetooth devices when you switch ROMs all the time?

    So I've been playing around with a few ROMs, but it seems that Bluetooth identifies the device by MAC address, and since that's consistent from one ROM to the next, I seem to have to pair all over again for each device every time I change my ROM. I have like 6 or 7 BT devices to repair...

    Root Is the bootloader, the be-all, end-all?

    I was wondering what sorts of catastrophic events could take place rendering a phone useless. If your bootloader gets corrupted, or deleted, I assume it doesn't matter that you have a recovery does it? Do we need the bootloader in order to load up the recovery? Obtaining S-OFF makes the...

    Root Identifier Token Question

    I noticed that everytime i run the get identifier token command, I get a new identifier token which is different from the previous one. Will any of the identifier tokens I retrieve work for me, or does the phone keep track of the last token it gave out, and will only unlock properly if I use...
