    Is your months old N3 slowing down?

    No kitkat love for us in the Great White North. I can obviously do it manually, but why bother :) Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk

    Is your months old N3 slowing down?

    I will actually resurrect this thread - after the nearly 2 months which passed since my post, I now started experiencing slowdowns. No particular culprit - nothing new installed, various caches cleared, plenty of free space. The solution is simple, but annoying - a master reset and reinstall...

    On my way to Best Buy to switch from the iPhone 5s to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3

    Its a never ending discussion, and actually it is possible to go back to a smaller screen. Before I begin, I have to emphasize, that I was someone who said I will never go back to a small screen, or ios. My Note 3 is the 3rd Note series device that I'm rocking, and I haven't touched an...

    I actually gave up my ipad altogether, when I had the Note 2 :) with the 3 it was a given, but now I'm getting an ipad mini retina - the Note started annoying me in a few spots :) Posted via Android Central App

    Galaxy Gear keeps losing bluetooth connection (after update?)

    Had something like this happening during my commute this morning, however restarting the phone seems to have resolved it. What other bluetooth devices do you have connected at the same time as the Gear? Posted via Android Central App

    Bluetooth Audio too low... but Notification sounds over bluetooth are loud.

    I'd say its your car (if this is the bluetooth device in question). What happens when you turn the volume up in the car or the device itself? Certain apps are somewhat quiet in my car with a Note 3 (was the same with the Note 2, so I know its the car), requiring me to turn up the car stereo...

    I have a Note 3 and Windows Phone 520 in trial for the wife....How come.....

    Actually, I wouldn't entirely call this trollbait (overlooking the push vs 15 pull and is the win phone better) - my Note 3 gets most of my mail a bit later than my iPhone 5s does (this covers Gmail, Hotmail and work Exchange). Sometimes the difference is around 10 seconds, sometimes close to a...

    Wait for Gear 2??

    Wifi not working correctly

    Wifi actually works worse when you are right next to the router. Hit the menu button while in your Note's wifi menu, select Advanced, and uncheck the Auto network switch option - this should fix your issue. Posted via Android Central App

    Is booting into Recovery and booting into Odin the same thing? Please help!

    You can get Heimdall for the Mac - does exactly the same thing Odin does, but on OSX. Posted via Android Central App

    Battery Life of the Note 3 compared to the Note 2

    Sorry, its been too long - I have the Note 3 almost since launch, meaning I haven't used a Note 2 (and sold both of my mine) since last year. Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk
