    Cannot type anything other than numbers on lock screen of remotely locked device

    I tried to remotely change the password, but I can't connect to it remotely anymore! I don't know why. It's powered on, but apparently doesn't want to connect to my Wi-Fi anymore.

    Galaxy Tab 3: battery drain on standby

    Same here. Brand new S3, hardly anything installed, and I get 48 hours tops. I've had Samsungs that would hold a charge for weeks, and the iPad goes at least a week or even two. 2 days is totally unacceptable. Any suggestions?

    Why is my Note 3 constantly searching for GPS after Lollipop upgrade?

    Wow. I can't believe I reset my phone TWICE to try to figure this out. You're absolutely right: as soon as I enable that weather option for my cover (which also turns on the weather notification on the lock screen), the problem came back. It's off again now and I'm back up to two days of battery...

    Why is my Note 3 constantly searching for GPS after Lollipop upgrade?

    I think I resolved this. The cause was my own bad. When I reset the phone to factory defaults, I used the Google Play Store option to restore my settings and apps. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the option to select the device that I wanted to restore from. I have a few Android devices listed in...

    Why is my Note 3 constantly searching for GPS after Lollipop upgrade?

    Re: Note 3 constantly Searching for GPS after Lollipop upgrade Ugh. I spoke too soon. I see now that my Note 3 has started repeatedly polling GPS again, so I may be doing a complete rebuild.

    Re: Note 3 constantly Searching for GPS after Lollipop upgrade Woohoo! Thank you Rubkat, that seems to have fixed it! Can I buy you a beer?
