    Using Wi-Fi causes Cell Standby bug (Verizon)

    now that you mention it, my cell standby battery drain is high (I'm on VZW as well). Will keep an eye on it and then also look at battery life with and without wi-fi on all day at the house.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Cases

    I just ordered one of the Spigen ultra hybrids too. Won't get here until next week though so I'll be staying nekked for a few more days. So far, so good. The form factor is so great, I really do hate to put a case on it...

    So I got the Samsung Wireless charger but....

    I didn't get the wireless charger but want one. Will be following to see if people like the Sammie unit or if their are better aftermarket units.

    phone addiction satisfied for a while I think

    Couldn't help myself and got a N5 yesterday at VZW. $200 trade in helped and I'm keeping this one for a while I think. I started playing with the demo model in the store and that was all she wrote. It's on the charger now for the first time so we'll see how battery life goes. 20 hours on the...

    No simultaneous voice and data on Note 5? - Verizon Wireless

    re: The "phone call part" should be included in the voice plan (I don't think VZW even sells minute packages anymore, everything's unlimited voice and messaging). And the "data part" should be broken out separately and count against your data bucket, just like any other data use. My N5 came...

    For those wondering, this is the phone you were waiting for.

    LMAO, now that you mention it, there are no headphones. I absolutely missed that. Definitely not a big loss. Agree with everything you said. Am going to write my little mini review in a few minutes here but yeah, this is the best phone I've owned to date. If VZW had a decent signal in my...

    Droid Life Article: Top Android Phones of 2014

    they are. I recently grabbed a droid turbo and have been SO happy coming off a GS5. Almost stock Android out of the box and so speedy. Form factor is great (although I really, really wish the Turbo had The Dimple). Display, radios, battery, ad nauseum. I'm on VZW obviously, my GS5 was...

    Man this phone is slippery

    I've used a case a couple of times but always seem to come back to nekked :D My ProClip mount in the car won't accomodate a case on the Note 2 and honestly, I'm not really dropping it much. It has taken a couple of tumbles and I can report it is one tough SOB. My wife's iPhone5 has a scratch...

    car mount picture

    Sorry I didn't answer earlier. I don't think so - right now, it's advertised as "no case" and it's pretty tight sliding into the retention grooves. Anything that added thickness to the phone probably isn't going to work. Ram X might work better with the flip cover installed.

    Funny reactions that the note 2 brings you!

    Bartender who has a GS3 "yours is bigger than mine" Bartender's wife "bigger is better" :cool:

    durability of the note2?

    mine's had one swan dive onto the parking lot from about 5'. :eek: Minimal cosmetic damage to the back cover. Front glass completely intact, no scratches even. I'm impressed. Every phone gets dropped eventually in my experience. If you're afraid of sustaining significant damage, make sure...

    Thinking seriously about returning my Note 2

    I was worried that I wouldn't be able to deal with the size and return it during the first two weeks. No chance in hell of that happening - love this thing. :cool: Thought the S3 screen was too dim in the Verizon store so I would have gone with the DNA which I'm soooooooooo glad I didn't. 64...

    Turned NFC on last night for the first time...

    This, works great. I have one by front door and one on nightstand. Another tap as you're leaving undoes the actions. Now if VZW/ATT/TMOB/Sprint would get off their asses and get a mobile payment system rolled out, we could leave our wallets at home too.
