Thanks, I'll have a look. I'd about given up on this. I bought him new tablet, but they've stopped putting flashes for the cameras in most all of them, and this one isn't as nice.

My (autistic) son's Note has died. I have two options: Take an $80 chance on a new motherboard (well, for $330 I could have Samsung do it); or find a good replacement. The important things are a good camera (with flash) and an S-pen or other stylus. But the Note 10.1 2014 is getting hard to...

Flashing screen, then SDCARD MODE - but no reboot Hello, all. We got the Note for my (autistic) son a couple of years ago - Christmas, 2013. He takes pictures with it ALL the time. Lately we've had an issue with camera use, Google Earth, and photo editing, and occasionally the login screen...

Interesting... 1040px wide? is that a typo? I'm a little confused, why would it be 500px wider than the screen? BTW, what is the preferred file format, jpg, gif, png, etc?

Err, I just got mine 2 days ago so I don't know if I'm having troubles or not! I updated the software per Verizon salesperson's instructions, but I have nothing to compare against and obviously very few apps loaded. I'd be kinda ticked if the GPS was messed up though, and if signal quality is...

While we're on the subject of "bloatware"... YOW! I just moved up from a BB Storm 9530 two days ago (Verizon, through work), and am boggled by what's on this phone and what's available to clutter it up with (I already got a good RPN calculator and a bubble level...). But yeah, how to do this...

Gee... isn't there just a 480 x 600 size or something we could use? Just curious, very new at this, but I made my own for my BB and just sized them appropriately, usually on my PC.

Interesting. I'm 2 days into this phone after coming from a BB Storm (the original Storm, no less). You could swipe-select multiple emails on that one, kinda surprised with all the gesture-ability on this beauty that you can't do the same... Still investigating!

Thanks, both of you. The spectrum of applications & widgets out there is beyond comprehension (literally).

Well, I just took possession of a Motorola Razr Maxx on Verizon. I'm an old coot transitioning from a Blackberry Storm 9530. This thing looks good so far, though I actually prefer the multi-tap keyboard on my old Storm when typing vertically - fat fingers! I have a few issues so I'm off to...
