    Call Recording Note 9

    It most definitely was a Google change in policy that required vendors to remove the required functionality. First, go to the play store and tell it you don't want automatic updates anymore. You don't need Google carrying out any more of their terrorist activity on your phone. Second, you need...

    what is the eye icon on the taskbar?

    I'd figure on that's what it is all about because ANY phone with a camera already has an orientation sensor so accurate that it can be used as a level with a level app. You phone reorients itself from portrait to landscape without it. As far as the phone remaining on, we don't need it for any...

    Rooted Note 3 w/4.4.2 connects as Installer but doesn't revert to Meda Device like it used to.

    It used to connect as installer and then revert to Media device. Quite a while back that changed and I've been trying to find a way around it since. I don't know if it was when I removed the Lollipop upgrade file or exactly what caused it. All I know is it is a real time waster to have to...

    Rooted. Or not rooted?

    If you have one with 4.4.2, I would root it and disable OS updates. What does your knox counter say? Without root there are great apps that you cannot run, the material environment is less attractive and less capable, and the newer OSes are incompatible with a lot of software. 4.4.2 on a Note...

    How can I turn off S Voice greeting and voice call prompts

    Piece of cake. From the home screen press the setting menu on the lower left, scroll down to Hands-free mode and tap that and you will see all of the options. If you don't want any of them on, then just turn off Hands-free. The phone will still work Hands-free, just not those particular...

    How can I get my Verizon Note 3 connect as media device NOT installer? It used to connect as installer for a few seconds and then connect as media device. Now it connects as installer every time and every time I need to go into notifications and switch it back. It used to be that you could...

    go launcher or nova launcher - which is better?

    Intentionally deceptive advertising of Nova Launcher Prime features is my the issue. It states about the Prime version: "Custom Drawer Groups - Create new tabs or folders in the app drawer" You can make folders in the settings, and they show up in the App Drawer, but you cannot drag apps into...
