This is no answer for your question but have you thought about a bt headset? I have the same problem and work in noisy environment and use LG's stereo bt ear buds.(forgot model but it's the ones that sit on your shoulders) I can put in both buds and hear what's going on. Or just regular wired...

Is your time zone set right? Make sure in location settings you have it set to high accuracy. This will use network, WiFi, and GPS to estimate position. Sounds like you have it set to low accuracy which only uses GPS. Is your phone a import or local model? May have something to do with it...

I use the s-view case and have had the same screen protector for about 10 months. I have 3 scratches on it but they aren't from the cover. Now, I don't put my phone in pants pocket. No pressure and/or movement on front cover when cover is closed. I think this is why people are getting scratches...

Go to app manager In settings. Slide over to the 'all' category and the 'turned off' category. It should be in one of those. If it has been turned off just open it and check the turn on box and it should show up again. If it is not pre installed on device, I would download the Samsung App...

How many action memos do you have? May just be a cache problem. Posted via Android Central App

Somebody will disagree with me but power down at least once a week. Keeps things snappy. Posted via Android Central App

Sounds like you have an app trying to sync thru work wifi constantly and maybe your work firewall is preventing it. You end up with a sync failure loop as mentioned earlier. Turn off sync on apps like Dropbox etc and see if problem stops. If it was a hardware issue it would persist everywhere...

Also remember to only download apps from Google Play, Amazon App Store or Samsung App Store. You mentioned in your other thread you were making the switch from a flip phone. I've been using Android for 5+ years with no virus issues but it is the most susceptible OS. Just remember you have to...

SMS forwarding with the green icon has the ability to forward to email. I've never used the forward to email option. I used it to forward sms from one phone to another and it worked perfectly. I don't remember if it is a free version or I paid for it. Might be worth a try. Posted via Android...

In the map app select settings and see what mode you are in. Select high accuracy mode and see if that helps. It uses all available resources (wifi, network, gps) to get a better location reading. It also uses a lot of juice so I would only use it when needed. And yes, gps only sucks on N3...

I've had my note since launch and I get one random restart a month or so. It's never hot and it hasn't been regular enough for me to check into it. I have had zero other issues. Posted via Android Central App

Check your battery stats and see if index service is running. It killed my battery and phone ran hot until sd card was indexed. Also, if you haven't already, factory reset. I have both Verizon and Att N3 and both did some weird stuff after KK update until I factory reset. Posted via Android...

Setting > Call settings > incoming call notifications, make sure it's checked. It will pop up incoming call at bottom of screen and stay in your current app. I think this is what you are asking for. Posted via Android Central App

Verizon and their red map is pretty impressive. You can get service in the sticks but their LTE service sucks in all the big cities I visit around Texas. I never keep 4G throughout the day. 3g most of the time I check it. And it was the same on the Razr Max I had before N3. I also have an ATT N3...

They are a little more expensive but get a Samsung sd card. You shouldn't have any problems with it. I had a couple of older sandisk and a Polaroid cards and between S4 and N3 I had problems with all of them. Loosing data, unmount/remount problems and formatting never seemed to fix problem for...
