    Gear watch won't charge or turn on!

    I too had the same issue, but started working for a day or 2 then dead, sent in and came back, with a stronger vibrate and looks like battery life better. This seems like a lot of issues for something this new. The phone help line is pretty good, don't bother to email, no answer, chat is...

    Photo storage

    I had the same problem. My solution, I found that they store the pixs in a folder called camera, not in the normal, 100media folder. Put your photos into that folder, clear cache and you should see them.

    Do I need a Samsung account?

    I haven't agreed to anything and I used their "system" to "find" my phone. So I don't think that is part of an account. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, I might have agreed to crap on their site, while I was trying to register my phone. In another post, I mentioned that if you buy a...

    Best messaging app to use for Note 3

    Question: I am coming from at HTC Vivid, its messenger app gives me word suggestions, which for this old fart is very nice. I can't seem to find a messenger for my Note 3 that does the same thing. Any suggestions? I found the setting for the keyboard. Bottom left. Sorry about being stupid.

    The fun of buying an International phone in the US.

    I thought I would give what I have learned so far. I'm in the US but travel outside and I dislike ATT, but they have the best coverage IMO in the US. My contract was up and I wanted a Note 3, that was unlocked and would work anywhere in the world. I found that an N900W8 does that. I found a...

    Problem with connecting PC with my Samsung Note 3

    Thankfully, I didn't have this type of issue, but I will give my experience, new Note 3. I plug in my Note 3 with USB, (kitkat) the pc reacts, but it is only charging. I figure out that I need Kies, I download it, still can't see the phone. I had an extension USB removed it and then Kies...

    Here's how to spot a fake Note 3! (For those looking at online marketplaces or unofficial retailers)

    Abarzua21 has the answer, that Genuine Galaxy immediately solves the problem. The big problem is that you can't use it until you have the phone. So other info here will help. I just bought a Original Galaxy Note 3, N900W8, which BTW has The most "Bands" of any Note 3, as far as I can tell. A...

    Noob questions about the differences in specs/services

    Thanks for the info, I needed to read it about an hour quicker than I did. I think that I ordered a fake from a company in PR. I went through Swappa with PayPal, so I trust that I can get my money back. I emailed the seller and told them that I would be refusing the shipment. I noticed on...

    Noob questions about the differences in specs/services

    Hi Been reading a bunch, but at this point maybe more confused. I'm with ATT but am looking at Straight Talk. They say all I need is a GSM unlocked phone. So in looking at different phones it appears that normal Note 3 N900's sold by Samsung's factory outlets have the Cortex quad processor...
