Waiting for UPS to delivery my Note 5 today. I can't imagine using anything else but my favorite, Nova Prime.

Still the highest ranked phone on the market: I have RAM Operation of 1521 RAM Speed 2513 Rooted and running stock with a few mods. (all cosmetic) Not sure why your RAM operation is so slow.

Re: How can I dim Return/Menu lights at the bottom? Either you are a freak of nature with super-sensitive eyes or you have a bad phone. The capacitive menu and return buttons are typically very dimly lit. Also the lights go black after just a few seconds. Switch out the phone with the...

Re: 3G speeds not what they should be I agree with the previous poster about updating the PRL. Also, sometimes Sprint is doing work on a tower which could cause poor 3G or LTE performance temporarily. You might find the problem gone soon. Fortunately for me, I am usually in an area where...

I tried Puffin (free version) based on the link by Rivencap (a few posts up) which has a great and easy youtube video and Flash worked great. The stock internet program used to work with Flash but no longer does. (Chrome has never worked with Flash recently) . There are not too many web sites...

$199 on an upgrade at Best Buy. They also have Samsung reps there to answer any questions. The Samsung rep rooted my phone for me while I was there so it was a great experience. Don't root your phone unless you are an experienced user however it will give you additional speed, better battery...

Like Skunk said, the OTA looks to your build.prop file. If it displays a ROM earlier than MB1 (Android v4.12), those OTA messages will keep on coming until you upgrade your custom ROM or update your build.prop file to reflect this change.

Re: Anybody try the M.O.A.R.? Sounds like an issue with your Wifi connection. See if it persists after a couple of days. Don't think it's an issue with the rom.

No fair. There was no 8.05 when i responded :)

If you choose this method, the app for the play store is called phonesky.apk

imho, Goodness is the most complete TW Jellybean based ROM available. Working MultiView, tons of optional themes and mods, choice of 8 different lock screens, improved sound quality and lots of baked in options. There is even an option for using call recording (only with the Anthrax kernel...

Welcome to the great world of Android. I have never used Kies nor do I have Apple experience but maybe I can help a bit. I copy my media files using the USB cable and Windows Explorer. (Not sure this will work in the Apple world) You can copy them to any folder you designate on your external...

I did change the Google search APK several months ago and it worked like a charm in ICS. I liked the features it provided (Searching your phone) and it was supplied to me by Skunkape. You needed to root because it went in the System/Apps folder which you can only get to with root. However...

Not rooting is like keeping your money under your mattress. It's safe but you are getting no interest. Wait for your updates from Samsung. Yawn, boring, huh?

Hopefully you have Wifi :)
