I long pressed that button and it gves you the option to select more general location option as opposed to exact location in order to save the battery. I used to keep mine off most of the time but i think with the latest update it seems to use more...

    I have a dent on the chrome part... is this something that I can replace by myself?

    I have the samsung universal desk dock and it works fine with my note 10.1. With that said I found what works best for me as a more solid and stable stand is called the I pad loop made by Griffin, kind of a slanted rubber coated circle with two notches in it. When i place my note in the notches...

    The New Galaxy Note 8" $400!!

    As much as I like my Note 2 I wish it was a exact scaled down copy of my Note 10.1 with two front facing speakers and no clumsey mechanical button in the center. If the GN8 was just that with phone capability I would already have purchaced one, even for $400.
