    Will Note 8 Get Android 4.3 with Comparable Software to the New 10.1?

    I'd have to say that based on my experience, the Note 8 is hard to recommend, compared to the Nexus 7 , iPad, and other tablets I've owned as a sort of tablet-o-holic. I get abysmal battery life - even turned off in my bag, mine runs down in under a day, and when used, the battery is awful...

    Need HELP choosing a dock/car mount for Samsung Galaxy Note 2

    I have the iBolt with aux adapter. I've used it with both my Note 2 and S4, and it works very well. The microUSB cable is a little tight, but if click it in before you put the phone in the dock it works great. Mine is stuck to the window and really, really stable so far. Cable runs out to a USB...

    HTC one vs note 2 vs S4

    I just took this path: 1. Got an HTC One / 64gb on AT&T. Returned it after 3 days, for largely personal idiosyncratic reasons. Screen was beautiful in bright light; sound was awesome. Couldn't get along with Sense 5 and subjectively didn't like its handfeel. I do wonder a little if I gave it...

    How do I debug hangs on my S4?

    Ok please folks...yes, I converted from an iPhone, but NO I am not trolling. I have an S4 and I'm really enjoying it a lot. And, because of that, I've been playing with a lot of apps. So I asked for this, I guess. I'm not throwing a tantrum, going back to iOS, etc. etc. It's just software...

    GS4 vs One: Made up my mind.... HTC One it is

    I know the purpose of these threads is to make us feel good about our decisions, but I made the opposite decision. First, I heartily agree that both these phones are great devices. And I totally agree that the screen and sound on the HTC One are far superior to the S4 - the one screen in...

    How to prepare for switch from Iphone5?

    Turn off imessage or else other I-device users may not get you their Sms... You can get to it in iTunes settings under device. Much easier to disable while your iPhone is still connected. That was the only glitch for me... Sent from my S4 using Android Central Forums

    S4 New user q's: GPS, BT and I need an app recommendation?

    Hi folks... I'm new here, and just moved my SIM from an iPhone 5 to an AT&T S4 32gb (after a brief fling with the HTC One, which I did not really care for). The transition is a bit challenging, but I have these seemingly real issues: 1. Every time I start Waze (which I use a lot as I have a...
