    Anyone having trouble charging since last update?

    Same charger type as me. This is really annoying and I'm positive it's tied to the update that also ruined my battery life. Posted via Android Central App

    Anyone having trouble charging since last update?

    Still have it, but I like to keep a backup one downstairs, and I also have a generic car charger that worked until the last update. The point isn't that I don't have the OEM charger, but I'm pretty sure you're intelligent enough to know that. Posted via Android Central App

    Anyone having trouble charging since last update?

    So since the last update, in addition to a drastic decrease in battery life, I can no longer use any of my generic chargers as my phone now says something like "unauthorized charger" and disables the charge. Anyone else? Posted via Android Central App

    Note 3 decline in battery life

    Yes. We have two Note 3's in the household and both have noticed a drastic decline in battery in the last week. From well over a day of battery with heavy usage and 4 to 5 hours screen on time to just about 3 hours and barely making it to 11pm. Last night my phone was unplugged at 11 am and...

    Note3 $50 gift "Sorry out of credits"

    Some people on slick deals stole people's IMEI numbers and used them to amass $5000+ in Google Play credits. I sincerely hope they are prosecuted, but I know they won't be. Posted via Android Central App

    If you guys haven't downloaded Textra yet nows the time.

    I switched to Textra when GoSMS got too big for their own britches. I like how simple the feature set is- GoSMS was clunky and fat and constantly spammed me with ads to upgrade. Posted via Android Central App

    Battery Drain Help

    Check your Google Now settings. They constantly check things in the background if not configured otherwise. Also feel free to delete Lookout unless you use it for something other than antivirus. Posted via Android Central App

    HELP!

    What makes you think it overheated? Have you tried pulling the battery out and putting it back in? If I recall, when my S3 got completely empty on battery it wouldn't even turn on when plugged in until it had a bit to charge. Posted via Android Central App

    Is this normal?

    The two biggest battery hogs I've seen on Android are Facebook and Google Now. Google Now is hard to detect using a battery app, but if you go into the card settings and make sure they aren't all set to on it may make a difference. For my S3 it made a huge difference. Facebook is just...

    Help with tempered glass instillation

    The nice thing with MIME is that they provide you with a purple sticky "screen protector" to put over the glass to remove all dust before installation. After that, I just put two rings of tape on each end of the glass screen protector, lowered it into place, and took the plastic cover off the...

    Earbuds for the Note 3

    I use a pair of Etymotic HF2's. They are available now for about half what I paid, and I consider them worth every penny at full price. They have a vast selection of attachments so that you can find one that feels right and fits right.
