    Strange Font font in settings menu and brightness slider gone

    As the title suggests, I'm having an issue with this. I don't remember when the original font was replaced but I want the old one back. And for some reason I can't adjust the brightness from the slide down menu as I used to before. I am on a rooted phone btw, but I've been on it for more than a...

    Here's how to spot a fake Note 3! (For those looking at online marketplaces or unofficial retailers)

    Tbh, it sounds like your pen is defective. The specs you posted match up to a real phone so that's a little odd. As for air command popping up when you take the pen out, that's normative. Let me know how the new pen works when you receive it. Sent by my lady friend, Note 3

    Emoji turns sms to mms

    I think the issue is centralized to the app sending it rather than the keyboard input you're using. I find it peculiar that the third party apps send it as sms though. Might have to do with their servers, but then again, I'm not completely sure. Sent by my lady friend, Note 3

    Emoji turns sms to mms

    Ah, I wouldn't have much knowledge of that. I only use the stock app. Are you sure the third party apps don't use data to send texts? Sent by my lady friend, Note 3

    Is there an easier to hold on to back/battery cover for the Note 3 I could buy?

    Try getting an ultra thin case with a better back plate. I don't know of any but I ordered a Kommandant from case fanatic, it hasn't arrived yet, but I hear it gives a better overall feel to the phone as well as adding very minimal thickness. Whether the grip is better or not I'm not 100%...

    Emoji turns sms to mms

    I think the issue is that those emojis only work as multimedia messages. If you press the menu button, you'll be greeted by a couple of options, one of them being "Insert Smiley". Those work as sms. I know it's not a solution to your problem or the best explanation, but that's what I know...

    Here's how to spot a fake Note 3! (For those looking at online marketplaces or unofficial retailers)

    I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure, but when I had the clone and tried to activate it at a service provider, I was told that the phone was supposedly already activated somewhere in Florida(I live in the north). I wasn't told whether it was another Note 3 or a different phone...

    Case with a cellphone strap hook?

    Thanks for the quick reply! Quick question though. I've been looking at pictures of both cases and can't seem to locate the landyard holes you mention. What corner are they in?

    Case with a cellphone strap hook?

    Hello, friends. (Skip to the last paragraph to avoid touching story) It's been a while since I last posted but I haven't had any less love for my Note 3 since the day I received it. And it is with this love in mind that I type this post. I've been struggling from day one with the necessity...

    Internet draining battery

    Rebooting worked for me. Have you tried closing all the tabs in the browser and then restarting? Sent by my lady friend, Note 3

    Internet draining battery

    One time thing. It only happened today honestly but I was wondering if I had done something to do with some setting I may have triggered accidentally. After my battery has charged completely I'll reboot. Hah yeah. I know it's not IE but calling it just "Internet" was sort of plain Sent by...

    Internet draining battery

    I'm not exactly sure what this is about because I seldom use the Internet Explorer app but for some reason its using a lot of my battery(phone was heating up randomly earlier as well) so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what was causing this. Sent by my lady friend, Note 3

    Anyone using Hangouts for SMS instead of standard SMS app?

    What exactly is the difference from the stock app? Apart from G+ integration and a different look, what else does it offer? Honestly the only thing I'd be interested in is the ability to send texts as data (using my own number, not one assigned by Google) for when I'm out of an area with...
