Re: Batteries performing different? I got my backup from Samsung and it came with the white charger box: Galaxy Note 3 Spare Battery Charging System The batteries do have slightly different part numbers - the original: D800BZ ("Cell from Korea, Manufactured in China") and the backup: B800BU...

I read a lot of threads about battery life and it certainly varies so I thought I'd pass along an observation and see if anyone else has noticed this. I have my original battery that came with my N3 from VZW and the battery life has usually been very satisfactory. I moved from an iPhone 4S...

Nice! although gonna have to wait for the prices to drop a bit as other brands get released. I snagged my 64GB for $22 ( genuine Sandisk Ultra) on a SD last fall so $120 for 128GB is a bit steep at the moment. That sure is nice for those who want to carry a lot of video with them - for me...

So I finally got around to trying Nova. While it certainly provides some great additions, I can see why TW is still liked by so many. I love the fact I could import my existing TW layout and the tweak it from there to give me a more columns and rows etc. The other options are cool too and...

Re: best car dock for note 3? I use NFC tags and the Trigger app for this. Not on the dock itself but just under it (only want it triggered once before I put my GN3 on the magnetic dock I use). "In the car" is programmed to go into car mode, turn off wifi and turn on mobile data, fire up my...

Wow - express an opinion that you don't love your GN3 and the fans are all over you - sorry about that! I remember your first post a little while back and even then you were close to returning the GN3 so I seem to think you did the exact right thing - you gave it an honest try and given your...

That will work but you might just want to "Hide" the albums you don't want to see. Go to the "Albums" view in the Gallery, long press an album to select it, press the Menu button and select "Hide Items". To keep my Gallery manageable I regularly delete screen shots etc. I don't want any more...

One thing that helps is changing the settings under Google Play so that it does not automatically add icons for new apps to your home screen and clutter it up. That way you can install new apps and try them out for a while. If you decide to keep the app you can then drag the icon from the main...

Re: Note 3 Case Thread. Where did you order your Caseology cases from? I've been looking at the brown one from Amazon but it looks different from yours (the bumber shows black all the way around on the back): Amazon.com: Caseology Samsung Galaxy Note 3 [Vintage Hybrid Series] - Premium...

I was trying to figure out why Swipe Home Button was such a problem for you because I love it and I almost never use my home button! I then noticed there is a real difference between the Samsung Keyboard which I prefer and The Swipe Keyboard. The gap below the space button on the Samsung...

I thought I read about this here a long time ago but can't find the thread. Can any of you with an S-View case tell me how it works if I have password lock turned on? I have to use a password for work but it doesn't kick in for 30 minutes. Will closing the case lock the phone or (hopefully)...

So I played around with this a lot more and figured some things out. The curved right arrow does indeed make it learn the word. Type something strange, tap the curved arrow and then type the same thing again and you will see your new word in the list. Also, long press the new word and it will...

There is but a bit different from how it was described above - go to Settings/Controls/Language and Input and it is the second option Sent from my SM-N900V using AC Forums mobile app

ok - that makes sense. I can see if you have an environment where one or both of you frequently are at locations unknown and not able to reach out or respond it would be helpful. I was thinking more of why the need for an electronic tether.

Ok - confused... been married for 20+ years but.... we need to know where each other is all the time because? :confused:
