I know last post to this thread was 6 months ago, but I just wanted to comment that I had an issue with corrupt images, the photos turned "grey" on half the image and it was very frustrating. The issue was the memory card. Even though it was retail in box purchase from Amazon, it seemed to be...

Garyt you can get ok Google to work with any launcher. . I'm using it with stock. . I dont recall name of the program that changes it. I'll post it back if you're interested. Tried Nova free and it didn't have action note widget or same weather widget. . Bummer... getting ready to try apex.

mine does the same thing...guess mine is fake too. That makes TWO items, BOTH in retail packaging, BOTH from Samsung, that were FAKE!! my memory card was a dud as well. Can trust buying any accessories online any more.. they are counterfeiting everything... even the packages!

LJWashington, I was thinking the same thing. It's such a great feature that is way under utilized. The time, weather, music, and action note that's it. But you cant event edit the action note after saved, or reference other ones. And the thing that REALLY bugs me is that you can not READ the...

I changed my default search to use OK Google to search on double tap. rather than the poorly developed S Voice. Here's a how to on it. How to remap the buttons on the Galaxy Note 3 (or any Samsung phone) | Computerworld Blogs

In case anyone else has this issue. I got it resolved. It was apparently a counterfeit memory card. Samsung 64GB Pro purchased from Amazon in retail package. Speed test of the card showed 4mbps and took an hour to copy 1GB of music. Went and got a different card (Sandisk Ultra 64GB from Verizon)...

Update: have taken lots of pics with new card (Sandisc 64GB Ultra) and all photos have appeared fine, no cut offs, no boxes.Good to go!

UPDATE: Good News! It's was definitely the card!! Purchased a SanDisc Ultra 64GB card from Verizon. They did not sell the Samsung (which is odd considering its a Samsung phone). Went home and ran speed test and was TRIPLE the write speed as the Samsung. Copied 2GB of music to it in 2 mins...

heres another one that turned, phone shows grey, pc shows box as black

Yes mine were also fine with Drop Box sync. Somehow they get uploaded before saved to card. Good idea.

Mine was the Samsung from Amazon too. Retail package from 3rd party seller, but no genuine seal on package (is there supposed to be?). Ran speed test and only showed 4mbps read speed. Not sure if that is because it was connected to an adapter (maybe adapter needs to be high speed compatible?)...

where do you see yours song covers? on the phone? my songs just have a blank image.

3 more photos hit the GREY!! I went to Verizon store They had no idea about this or any related issue and were not able to provide a "demo" sd card to try and snap a few shots. I took a few photo inside the store and all turned out fine. The next day one "turned" (kinda like the walking dead...

I just got a Samsung Note 3, and it has version 4.3 on it. Added a Samsung microSDXC UHS-I card (64GB) and and having issues with GREY box appearing on photos. This happens after the photo is taken (a copy is sent to drop box, and that copy is GOOD), but after on the phone a grey box later...
