    Battle damage on your leather battery cover?

    Leather is supposed to wear. I have a 40 year old Coach Brief case that I have carried and tossed around all these years. It has Character and when maintained still looks good. Of course on a phone that will be obsolete in less than two years, it doesn't really matter. Posted via Android...

    OK, here is a free idea...

    JPG files have embedded data. Date, time, location, & (last but not least) notes and comments. I have thousands of family photos (some old) that I want to annotate (i.e. this is uncle Bob.).. Some existing apps provide annotations but they are stored in separate proprietary files. They can't...

    Those who are waiting for N5

    Lithium batteries do deteriorate with usage and recharging over time. I know many people will deny any loss after 2 years however empirical evidence suggests otherwise. I personally object to buying a product that is designed to self destruct after x years of usage. Posted via Android...

    Those who are waiting for N5

    I decided to skip the Note 4 and wait for the 5. (Like others I suppose.) The S6 release (without SD card etc). Stopped me in my tracks. Now I have a chance to early upgrade to the Note 4. I am thinking about it. What are you folks thinking about the probable features on The note 5? Anyone...

    Need to flash back to stock

    I rooted my note 3 for the purpose of overriding the security on the SD card. Made no other changes. Verizon trying to ota the newest version to my phone. Errors out every day. Now concerned about lolly pop. Is there anyway to get my phone back to stock? Any service I can send my phone to...

    Clearly legitimate Issues

    I am sure that there are many folks posting here with legitimate Issues. However, it gets a little depressing reading post after negative post. Besides myself is there anyone out there who is (reasonably) happy with their note 3? I just went past my one year of ownership and heavy use and...

    Retail Stores for Note 4? Sold out.

    From heavily Populated Orange County to the hinterlands of SW Missouri. Our Verizon store only got two note 4's in initial stock. No more on the horizon. Either they are selling like hot cakes or Samsung didn't plan for big sales. Posted via Android Central App

    How to fix the issue when the screen of a note 3 becomes unresponsive to finger touch?

    Maybe, just maybe.... I have that problem sometimes when my fingers get dusty (I work for a living) or the screen gets slightly soiled. Next time it happens try to wash and dry your hands and clean the screen. Might help. Posted via Android Central App

    Re: Post your Impressions T-mobile users There is a setting that keeps the phone on as long as it can see your face. Have you checked that? Posted via Android Central App

    Note 4 External speaker is terrible

    My best buy had a metal security brace overlaying the rear speaker. Couldn't even see it. Hopefully you were listening to a covered up speaker. I am somewhat hearing impaired and have problems with the n3 ring volume. Have hopes n4 is better. Otherwise will wait for n5. Posted via Android...
