    Considering switch from GS3 to Note 2

    I did, briefly, but I am noy due for an update until late 2014, and I can't afford it outright. That's why I'm looking at the Note 2, figured it would be cheaper now that a newer model is coming. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk.

    Considering switch from GS3 to Note 2

    Yes, it was most helpful, thanks; this is just the kind of info I was looking for, real-world insight from someone who doesn't run a blog. Just one last thing: are there any glaring bugs that you have noticed? The one thing I would have to give up is my Mophie Juice Pack, but if the battery...

    Considering switch from GS3 to Note 2

    Wow, no one??? All these people with the Note 2 and nobody wants to share their personal input?

    Why is the S4 Not Recognizing All Music on SD Card ?

    It only happens on the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 through Player Pro during the scan for music files in the specific folder I point the app to (in my case, the eponymous "music"). Nowhere else does this happen. It's not a wholesale thing in my case, usually just two or three albums...

    Considering switch from GS3 to Note 2

    I've been using the Galaxy S III for a year now, and I'm very happy with it, but now that I'm getting older (and got my first pair of glasses), the larger screen is looking more and more appealing. I'm just wondering, though, what kinds of trade-offs I might encounter, if any. I was going to...

    Why is the S4 Not Recognizing All Music on SD Card ?

    I have this problem as well, from time to time. I think it might have something to do with Android in general, or (in my case) Player Pro. I rip and tag my own music using Tag&Rename, extensively inputting all the information and album art myself. But even with that, sometimes a properly...

    Stock e-mail app falling short, need suggestions

    I appreciate the effort, though! Thanks for trying. Funny thing is, I don't think the things I'm looking for in a mail app are that unreasonable. I've been able to get them in every other platform I've used in the past, and I'm really surprised not to have found anything for Android yet...

    Stock e-mail app falling short, need suggestions

    Since my successful transition to Android from the iOS ecosystem, I've run into practically no major issues at all, save two: the absence of notes sync and the substandard e-mail app that comes with the Galaxy S III. I've been looking all over for an e-mail app that will allow for Exchange...

    Batttery

    If you swipe down from the top of the screen, that will bring up the notification area. There you should see an option to toggle off location services; if you don't see it there, tap the settings icon and it's in there. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 using Tapatalk HD

    Exchange Services chewing up Battery - Seriously?

    I was noticing this as well, that my battery life was (is) abysmal. Unfortunately, because of my particular work, a fifteen minute poll is too long between messages. One other thing I've noticed is that the Exchange and IMAP functions on the S III don't work properly: when messages are deleted...

    Otterbox Defender for Galaxy S3 owners

    I'm having no problems with the Defender case, it's great! I like it myself because I prefer to carry my device in a belt holster, and this one comes with it. I can't use my Galaxy S III dock, but that's okay, I switch between the flip case and this one. One minor complaint: with the Defender...

    What case are you using.

    I alternate between the flip case for the Galaxy S III and the Otterbox Defender case. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Otterbox Defender vs BodyGlove ToughSuit

    I just got the Defender case for my Galaxy S III last week and so far no problems for me. In the two plus years I used it on my iPhone there were never any issues with deformation of the rubber part of the case. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Bluetooth Keyboard recommendations for S3 that can work with other devices

    I've been using the ZaggKeys Solo with both my iPad 2 and my Galaxy S III with no problems at all. What's great about the Zagg keyboards is that they have a switch for it to be used with both Android and iOS. It might be worth taking a look at it, it works for me, and it's great! It will save...

    Looking to transition from iPad 2

    That's true, but I absolutely positively HATE tethering. I find it to be an unnecessary hassle myself. I'd rather just have a device that has a built-in radio and be done with it. :) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III using Tapatalk 2
