This just began appearing on my phone last week. I didn't download any remote control apps. Perhaps this goes with the ATT app that came with the phone. Thing is, when I tap it, not only does nothing happen, it totally freezes my phone. I have to do a battery pull/reboot to get things...

Hi All, Facebook (and FB Messenger) will not work over wi-fi. The newsfeed will not update and images do not appear. When I turn off the wi-fi on the phone and force it through the 4G data stream, everything appears instantly. This happens in any wi-fi I'm connected to, so it's not the router in...

The security update might have something to do with this: The ‘Extremely Dangerous’ Smartphone Flaw That Can Be ‘Triggered While You Sleep’ | Video | TheBlaze.com I wonder if there's any way of finding out for sure?

I want to try out some of the downloadable themes I see out there, but I don't want to lose the current configuration I created on my phone (5 screens with groups and lower dock) Is there a way to save my current screen configuration so I can easily switch back to it if I don't care for the...

The forums here at A.C. are great (of course, so are the people who contribute). I had this problem on my Note 4 just now and the first thing I thought to do was run a search on Android Central and Viola! Just the right solution. Thanks!

By the way, I inadvertently started the update in one wi fi area and travelled to 3 other wi fi locations. The routine was intuitive enough to pause the download and pick up where it left off when I entered another wi fi spot. I wouldn't recommend doing this. Just saying if it happens, don't get...

Updated yesterday and everything is running good so far. Google Play Services updated without issue. Not noticing any kind of abnormal battery drain either. It was a long process to go through the update routine so be patient. Posted via the Android Central App

Hi All, Just wanted to share some positive stuff....Last May when I upgraded from an HTC One-X to the Note 3, for the first time ever I begrudgingly added device insurance with my carrier (AT&T). Well, a week and a half ago while I was sitting with the phone on my lap (in a hard case), it...

Is there a way, or maybe a third party app that will give me back the touch tone sounds on my phone keypad? Posted via Android Central App

Sounds simple enough. I'll try that. Thanks.

I recently got the Note 3 and "moved in" with music and images from my former device. Shortly after that I installed a 32GB micro USB card (external memory?). I just downloaded the PC application Kies (their version of iTunes) and it shows all my media to be on the Internal memory. A couple of...

I've been using this one. It's not free, but worth every penny. It takes the place of the native music player. It contains a parabolic equalizer to contour the sound quality and has volume boost. Power Amp...

OK, I found that function. That did the trick. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm one of those odd people who actually likes getting the haptic feedback on my HTC One-X when using it. I've had the phone a little over a year and the power saver feature was always running and I always got the vibrations. For some reason, now the only way to get the vibrations...

Re: My inspire is suddenly faster. Philadelphia / south Jersey ar I live in a suburb just north of Orlando, FL and pinging a server in Cocoa, FL (approx. 45 miles to the southeast). On Wifi I get 1.4 Mbps down and 957Kbps up. I turned off my Wifi and using Hsdpa pinging the same server I got...
