    Help Google Voice update broken?

    I updated the Google Voice app the other day, and now the app is totally broken. I open the app, and it asks to "set me up". I do the steps, I choose my email from a choice. So good so far. Then it says it has to "verify my phone number" by sending me a text. When it tries, I get this...

    SD Card questions

    The internal phone memory really isn't that much, and I often get close to running out of space. The 2gb internal fills up super quick, so I "move to SD" which actually isn't an SD, but is the rest of the internal storage space. How confusing is that?! Anyway, I have an actual 16gb external...

    Root Storage space isn't calculating correctly

    Note: I'm running CM10 nightly, I'm not sure if I had this issue before getting this. See this image... it says my 10GB partition is running low (729mb) yet if you add up all the bits taking up space there should be much more. Also the bar graph shows I should have about 70% available...

    Call quality is great!

    I was a bit surprised today about how good the call quality is on the Note. I'm talking about the richness of the sound for the call. After using the Note for calls for months, this morning I had to answer my wife's iPhone 4, and I was shocked at how "tinny" it sounded. It sounded like a cheap...

    Thoughts on Carriers and Android updates

    It's ridiculous that iPhone users all get their updates as soon as it's available, while Android users "may" get an update many months after it's released. We all know that frustration... ... I know it must be a lot of work for, say, AT&T to roll out updates for all their many Android phones...

    So... how good is ICS on Note?

    I'm on the AT&T version of the note, so it's not yet available for me. But I'm curious to those international users who finally have ICS... is it any good? Does it speed up the note, and/or make it smoother and snappier? Is it a worthy upgrade from Gingerbread?

    GoLauncher PRO smoothness

    I was a loyal GoLauncher PRO user for a long time, and then for fun decided to use Launcher 7 for about a month. Then i was having phone problems, so I did a factory reset. When building back up the phone, I decided to go back to my old flame... GoLauncher PRO. In the month or so since I've...

    Help Best way to restore phone's apps?

    I did a factory reset last night, and now am trying to restore my phone's apps. What's the best way to do this? All the apps are listed in my account on Google Play. So right now i'm just going through all the apps and clicking "download" one by one. It's very time consuming. Is there a better way?

I was concerned that all my settings, and progress in all games would be lost since i'm not rooted and don't have/use Titanium Backup. But I notice a setting in Settings -> Privacy -> Automatic Restore. The description for...

    Snappiness of Android vs iOS

    I was listening to the This Week in Tech (TWiT) podcast, and one of the panelists of the show says he knows why iOS always feels silky smooth when swiping through homescreens, menus, etc. And it's a really simple reason: in iOS you're actually swiping through full screen "images" of icons. So...

    Where is the Google Calendar app?

    I've never used Google Calendar before, but now I'm going to start using it to keep more organized. But I can't find the Google Calendar "app" on this phone. It's not in the "all apps" screen. I can do a general phone search, and it shows up as "Calendar" and I can access it that way. But how...

    Help Dolphin browser problem

    Does anyone have a problem with the Dolphin broswer, where if you launch the browser, and if there is already a tab open on a web page, the browser will crash and force close? It's really annoying. It did this for me on my previous phone also. I really want to keep using this browser, but it's...

    Best camera app replacement?

    I like the stock camera on the Note, but I'm looking for something with more bells and whistles. There are many apps out there, but so far they are missing a REQUIREMENT: manual focus (tap on area of focus) So basically, I'm looking for a camera app that has manual focus, plus some other great...

    Smoothness of scrolling around

    Having owned an iPhone in the past, and even still owning an iPad v1, I find a big difference is the "smoothness" of the operating system of IOS vs Android. Like flicking around a web page, or scrolling up and down in a long menu screen. Just really a minor complaint because still I prefer...

    Help Tango app on Note

    Is anyone successfully using the Tango app on the Note? I want to use it for the occasional "video call", but it seems to only work for "incoming" video calls, but not for "outgoing". Is it just me, or is it not fully compatible?

    Getting extra battery

    I would like to buy an extra battery (or 2!) for the occasion when I'm out ALL day and night without opportunity to charge. On Amazon, there are a few results: Amazon.com: samsung galaxy note battery 2600mAh: Cell Phones & Accessories But some batteries say it's for Note i9220. I have the AT&T...

    Help Unplug Note when fully charged?

    The Note notifies me when the battery is fully charged, and says: "Battery fully charged. Unplug charger" I was always told that it's impossible to overcharge modern gadgets as the battery has safeguards against damage. Is this still true for the Note? Or should I follow the advice and unplug...

    Google Voice as default texting app

    FYI, i'm on the U.S. version of the Note, on At&t, if that matters. I can't get Google Voice to be my default texting app. When others text my GV number, it opens up in the phone's own Messaging app. If i reply back from it, it sends from At&t, not from GV. I have to actually go into the GV app...

    4g notification icon

    Just got my Note last night and love it so far! (AT&T) I live in an area where I didn't think had 4G support, but the notification icon says "4G". Will it say "4G" even if i'm really on a 3G network? Or am I really connected to a 4G network?

    Root Voice Actions (with bluetooth headset) not working

    I don't know if this is a CM7 issue or not, but I can't use Voice Actions with my bluetooth headset. I bought a new Motorola bluetooth headset today, and it does work in the basic sense, but not for Voice Actions. So I cannot create texts, emails, navigation, etc. with the bluetooth headset...

    Help Voice Action: "Call..." issue

    Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?... When I do a Voice Action, I say, (for example) "Call Best Buy, Downingtown, PA". The phone finds the store, shows the phone number correctly. I press the "dial" button to go ahead with it, but then the number it dials is all screwed up...

    Can't download from Market website

    This used to work great, but somehow I noticed within the past week it has not. I cannot download/install any apps from the Android marketplace on the web. I click on the download button, click OK, and it says it will be dowloaded to the phone shortly, but it never does. (I have no problem...

    Won't charge when gets overheated?

    I just noticed this today. I was using the Navigation in the phone in the car while it was being charged. The charger was working fine, then after a while it wasn't charging anymore. I noticed a blinking red light at the top of the phone. Normally when it's charging it's just solid red. The...

    Help Outgoing Google Voice Calls?

    I never imagined I'd have a use for outgoing Google Voice calls, but I do now. I'm on vacation in the mountains and thus no phone service, but I do have access to Wifi. So I make an outgoing call, using Google Voice, and it doesn't work. I keep getting an error saying "called failed". I tried...
