Re: Problem with Samsung's Music App I had some trouble finding the solution, so I'm glad the information has helped others. dllrogers55, the same way you do it for Music: use the Application Manager, go to the All tab, find and tap on Media Storage, then tap on the Clear Data and/or Clear...

I think I saw that message once before (not related to the 4.4.4 update) and my phone isn't rooted or modified either, so I just reboot the phone and it went back to normal. If a reboot doesn't sort of clear the phone's memory and make it realize it's unrooted and unmodified, I'm not sure what...

It looks like my battery life has improved with the recent update, too. I've been watching it for about a week now, and I've usually got roughly half my power left after around 14 hours, give or take depending on use. I didn't plug it in last night, and after ~23 hours I still had almost 40%...

Yes, I was aware that long-pressing on a notification icon will take you straight to its settings. It's a nice tip for those who didn't know it though, so thanks for the reminder. I rarely needed to use that trick before, but with the GPS toggle being replaced by the Location one, I'll...

The 4.4.4 update just hit my phone tonight, so I can't say much about how it's affecting my device. However, I did notice one thing pretty quickly that I don't like: the GPS toggle in the notification bar is now a Location toggle. :( My problem with it is that when I toggle it off, then back...

Re: How do people, particularly men, carry these things around with them? Depending on exactly what I'm wearing and carrying with me, there are three main places I'll put my Note 3: in a pocket of my messenger bag, in the inside pocket of my blazer / suit jacket, or in a pocket of my pants...

I read about this update a few days ago. It still hasn't hit my device yet. FWIW, over on the Sprint forums, there's a report that "4.4.4 breaks email" (https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/171134), and a post that suggests the flaky WiFi issue that has existed since Day 1 on this device is...

The security notification was definitely a problem on Jelly Bean, but the KitKat update was supposed to have fixed it. I'm not completely sure it did, because I dismissed that message for 30 days shortly before the KitKat update rolled out. So I'm not sure if it not appearing is because KitKat...

Re: Can the note 3 use a 64 GB SDXC card? Like stackberry369, I'm using a 64GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Card, and it seems fine. My previous 32GB card died for some unknown reason, so I needed a new one and figured I might as well go up in size. I thought the phone only officially...

Re: Kit Kat on Sprint note 3 - IT'S HAPPENING Writing to the SD card using third-party apps I installed on my phone, yes, this can have problems. With what I've tried, writing files works at least sometimes, but writing folders doesn't. Reading from the card seems to work fine for all apps...

Hmm. So previews on the notification bar and the lock screen are all or nothing? I can't set it so that the shows a preview in the notification bar, but not the lock screen?

Re: Faux Leather Back I have no real problems with it. Being textured, I think it feels a bit nicer than the smooth plastic backs of previous phones I've had. I actually use a Samsung S View cover now, and it has basically the same kind of feel. The edges can be a little hard if the press...

Nope. I have no real reason or desire to get a new phone when the one I already have is still relatively new, powerful, and I'm happy with it overall.

Re: Kitkat update disabling use of external micro SD Card Yes, I've experienced problems writing to the SD card (reading off it seems to be fine) with apps on my Sprint Note 3 running the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. If I use a USB cable to connect my phone and computer, I can modify the...

I guess how much the SD card permissions will affect you depends on how you use your SD card. In a bit more testing, I've found things similar to msndrstood -- file writing works at least sometimes, folder writing generally doesn't, deleting seems fine. ES File Explorer might actually be OK with...
