    How do I get rid of the circle icon with line through it at the top of my phone?

    Perfect, thank you. I had also inadvertently chosen "none" after pressing volume and did not notice that icon appear at the time. I also thought something was wrong.

    Note 3: S View cover drained battery??

    I have the same problem. After being shut down and fully charged overnight it dropped to 93% within two hours after I turned it back on and I did not use it at all during that time. In Settings>Battery it IDs the S-View cover as the biggest user of the battery. Too bad I paid so much for it, I...

    Note 3 or iPhone 5s camera?

    I've had and used the following over the last few years: iPhone3G, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The Note 3 camera is so far the best. The learning curve for it is higher due to some additional features, such as the low light feature. But if you work with it a while, as you would...

    Nexus 7 Poor Battery Life

    Is that the Advanced setting that reads: "WiFi optimization" where one can select for 'on' and deselect for 'off'?

    Nexus 7 Poor Battery Life

    This makes sense; where do you leave them? In Applications? Which would mean that each time I want to access Gmail for example, I would go into Applications and access the mail app there, but not on the home screen...correct?

    Nexus 7 Poor Battery Life

    Since I only use my tablet an hour or so a day I normally power off between uses. Are you saying that it is best not to power off until I use it again?

    Where is the Nexus 7 shipping from??

    If I were you, I would keep all this info to yourselves. When the Kindle first shipped out, in Amazon boxes, there was a lot of theft because people knew what to look for. Many customers never received their Kindle and had to re-order. Mums the word you guys!

    TwLauncher Force Close

    I have had the same experience but not quite as severe or often on a Samsung Galaxy SII immediately after the ICS upgrade I installed a week ago today. I never had this happen before. I wonder if it's related to the upgrade. My phone is stock/rooted and I also did not understand much of the...

    Before you get the Atrix....

    Atrix Voice Quality Issues @ attweco: I have heard about the muffled voice problem. Did you hear that it may help to change a setting: Menu > Settings > Call Settings > Noise Suppression: Off Also, some recommend deselecting "Voice Privacy" in the Settings also. I told a friend who has a Droid...

    Before you get the Atrix....

    Thanks attweco. I agree that change is good. My smartphone is basically my PDA. I began with a Sony Clie years ago, then went to a Palm PDA when Sony discontinued the Clie, but all along I had a cell phone on the side. When smartphones became common I decided to merge the PDA and phone (I'm not...

    Before you get the Atrix....

    I've been with AT&T for over 10 years and have had many different phones. I've had an iPhone 3G since January 2009, and have been pleased with it in spite of the fact that is has become slower and slower (I don't have music on it nor do I have a lot of apps, just some basic ones). I use it...
