    Urban Armor Gear (UAG) Case Review

    No pictures. I wouldn't try to mislead anyone, though. I've gained plenty of knowledge from people here, I'm just giving my impressions. I went back to my thin $1 tpu cases from eBay to keep the slim profile, but may try the Cruizer BugDroid cares next. I'm happy that you and many others like...

    Urban Armor Gear (UAG) Case Review

    Thanks for the review. I bought the clear ice case, based on a few reviews. It doesn't do the job for me, due to three factors. 1 - Couldn't get the case to align properly with the volume rocker. 2 - The thickness it adds on the sides is enormous. It wouldn't fit it my iOttie XL phone...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 hate cases but scared to go naked

    I have the Otterbox Defender for the rough stuff but found a 0.3mm clear gel case on ebay for a couple bucks. It's as thin as can possibly be, and protects the chamfered edges. It's perfect. Posted via the Android Central App

    Otterbox case - Defender

    I've had mine in a Defender for a week now, in and out of the case a couple times. No effect on the metal edges. The case has an excellent front lip that recesses the screen well. The in-pocket thickness isn't nearly as noticeable as it is in your hand. A glass protector underneath, or straight...

    Empty Inbox and unable to send sms

    It's a Samsung Jelly Bean issue, my Note 2 loses all messaging ability periodically and requires a phone restart. No known cure yet. Sent from my Note 2 using Tapatalk 2

    Does note 2 really support 64 b micro sd?

    I believe there's a bit of an issue with knockoff SanDisk Class 10 64gb cards. Most people I know with fried cards paid far less than market value for theirs. I paid $85 for my card from a reputable importer and haven't had an issue. But I follow all the safe procedures as well. Power off the...

    Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped Samsung Galaxy Note GT- N7000

    Nope, it's a bug in Messaging on Note 2's with Launcher 8 installed. We'll have to wait for an update to see if they fixed it. Good thing it only takes a minute to reboot. My BB used to take about 5 minutes or so.

    Multi view update for Canada

    Power off, remove your memory card, power back on, update should work fine. Then power off, card back in, power on. Good to go. Sent from my SGH-I317M using Android Central Forums

    How is your battery life?Note 2

    Yes, this and only this. I can get about 10 hours of screen time on a full charge. I think that's fantastic. I keep a charger at work for a quick 1 hour top-up mid-afternoon to get me through the evening without battery warnings. My 4S got about 4 hours screen time. Great device, tiny battery...

    Who's leaving for the new BlackBerry phones?

    You're right. It was of no consolation to those of us with the trackball models on a 3 year plan though! Gaffes like that will lose customers forever. I will say that the Z10 looks really nice. And I would leave Apple for it. But I'm too attached to the Note to go back to a closed system now...

    Who's leaving for the new BlackBerry phones?

    My last BB was the Tour as well. Trackball issues were the end of BB for me. Never again. Hope it grabs some of the market though, competition is good for everyone. Sent from my SGH-I317M using Android Central Forums

    SD Cards failing in Galaxy S3: Samsung's insane response.

    I fried a memory card on my Galaxy S a couple years ago, and I suspect it was PowerAmp. I bought a Note 2 this year and noticed that PowerAmp was corrupting a lot of mp3 files. So PowerAmp is gone. I'm always a little wary of third party apps that access the memory card constantly. Sticking...
