    Note 3 still going strong!

    Hey, just wondering what decision you made about your next Note or whatever?

    Is there any trick to getting the s pen to write notes properly?

    I'm going to throw a curve-ball: I have a Note3 that slows and stops my watch - I wonder if it might work the other way around? If it's a case of magnetism, that makes sense, so try removing your watch! I got onto this forum because I was looking at the Galaxy Tab S3 for general comments, having...

    Adverts and info on lockscreen since udate

    Thank you B Diddy, I have just uninstalled Peel Remote update in an attempt to solve the same problem on my Note3. I haven't got a third party keyboard or downloaded any apps recently. I'd been getting unwanted messages on the lock screen for about a week then got my first advert tonight. Very...

    How do I stop my voice text from repeating everything twice?

    Re: How can I fix the "com.android.systemui has stopped" error? Thank you guys, this worked with my Galaxy Tab3 Lite. Posted via Android Central App

    Why all torch/flashlight apps require access to camera?

    I'm looking at this forum because I went to get my phone out of my bag and the torch was on. Didn't know I had one! (Note3) I turned it off when prompted but it took another hour to turn it back on, so I'll tell you: 1. Find a blank space on your home page(s), far enough from app icons. 2. Press...

    Don't ask me but I suppose there's no harm in protecting all possible sources from spyware. Nothing much to lose. Posted via Android Central App

    Thank you for the reminder about the desktop Chrome. I suppose that's because it syncs. Posted via Android Central App

    In the last half hour, and after checking other forums, I cleared the data - I had only cleared the cache previously. Then I did a restart. This has done the trick because although I appear to have lost Chrome, I can use the default browser that comes up when I press the Chrome icon. I expect I...

    Is my phone infected?

    This worked for me, thank you. I seem to have lost Chrome but that's the lesser of the two evils. :-) Posted via Android Central App

    Yep, I have the same problem on my Note3. I did not install any apps. Mine appeared when I was just browsing using Chrome. When eventually I hit the back button, I think it acted like the "ok" button on the pop-up because the phone vibrated and the program appeared to be doing something. I have...

    Note 3 still going strong!

    Hi, I checked with Amazon and although I didn't source it there, I am getting the genuine article from an ebay trader - which I probably wouldn't have considered without your suggestion. So thank you! No sooner had I done this when my pen decided to perform again. Technology huh, still, I reckon...

    Note 3 still going strong!

    Until yesterday I would have agreed with every Note3 lover statement but my s pen isn't working and I can't get a replacement. Spark (where it was bought) says "buy online" while Samsung say "buy from this list of retailers.." Bummer. I will not replace the phone with another Samsung if there's...

    How long did your Note 3 last?

    I've had my Note 3 for nearly 2 and a half years. It started to slow around the time of the last firmware upgrade, which I was resisting. My provider told me to go ahead but everything got worse since. I have to stop working so my phone can tell me I took out the s pen 10 seconds previously...

    How do I fix error message "Unfortunately CloudAgent has stopped"?

    Cheers Jonty, that worked for me and my Note3.
