    Hey I'm also a Cord Cutter and with a new little one and the associated child care fees looking to save money everywhere I can. The NBA League Pass mobile is only $49.99 for an Android Phone. Can you take this via MHL via HDMI to your TV or is it blocked (I recall some stuff with Apple and...

    Nova Launcher - Causing excessive battery usage?

    Has anyone else noticed Nova Launcher causing excessive battery usage? Or perhaps it is the Nova notification product? I was getting great battery lifted (typically charge every 48 hours or so) and then I installed Nova after I saw all the people's home screens online. I then went to having...

    Snapdragon 800 Vs Apple A7

    Samsung fabricates the chips, but they don't design them. If I followed a recipe from a master chef I am not a master chef. It also doesn't mean I'm talent-less, but what Samsung is doing with their fab vs what companies like an Apple, Qualcomm, Marvell, etc do is a huge difference.

    Snapdragon 800 Vs Apple A7

    The battery life on my Note 3 is way better than any iPhone I've owned. But to be fair, I had to shut off all the junk Samsung included THAT DOES NOT WORK first. :)

    Show me your Homescreens!!!!

    Hey Alex your homescreen was my favorite. Sorry to be a copycat, but consider it a complement. I used yours as an influence. It also helped me design all my other screens too I'm really happy with the homescreens now. Doesn't feel like old grandpa massive icon phone anymore.

    Aereo Chromecast support on October 22nd? This article says so...

    Do you use the stock text app.

    I hate the icon of the stock app so much. Didn't anyone at Samsung stop and think "wow this looks awfully close to an email icon.". Dumbest icon ever.

    Somewhat surprised that the hype machine is already dying down

    There are a lot of great phones out there. This is one of probably 5 or 6 phones that most would consider "Excellent" right now.

    Google Now and Note 3 Question

    I put on Home2 Shortcut and re-mapped the double click to open Google. What drives me nuts though is getting to voice recognition is a pain with this phone where it was really easy with the iPhone. iPhone: 1. Long hold Home button (even if the device has swipe lock) 2. Start voice...

    Should Samsung be more reasonable?

    Has everyone gone mad? Samsung is charging how much for these stupid cases? Everyone bashes Apple all day long on these forums, but the smart cases FOR MY IPADS cost less than these stupid Samsung Flip Wallet and S-View cases. Stop for a moment and ask if you're really THAT much different...

    Went into a T-Mobile store today.....LOL

    Short of Samsung providing demo's or T-Mobile providing training I really don't expect them to know much about the phones. My local store didn't get stock until yesterday, and the two employees working today were not even in yesterday. T-Mobile employees are normal people too. I don't like...

    AT&T and T-Mobile

    It is the ability to block calls, notifications, alarms, etc. A good example would be blocking cell/text messages overnight except for emergency contacts so you are not disturbed. I have a friend that likes to text in the middle of the night when drunk this will be very useful for :)
