    Why does my music automatically play after a Words with Friends Move?

    This started with a recent update. Despite multiple complaints, the developer released another update that didn't address this issue. One solution is to disable "Game Sounds" in the WWF settings menu until it gets fixed in a future update. It seems that Play Music is only triggered when the...

    Contact search results question

    When searching for a contact to place a call, I've found that the first 5 or so results are completely irrelevant to my search. Many times the contact I want is at the bottom of the list of irrelevant results. When I type in "Scott" I'd expect anyone with "Scott" in their name to show up first...

    Google Now not obeying commands, searching instead.

    Everything was set to English in the system and voice search settings. I switched it to Chinese and back to English and now it works. Thanks!

    Google Now not obeying commands, searching instead.

    I don't know what I did, but even a factory reset hasn't restored this capability on my Note 2. I used to be able to tap the mic in the Google Now search bar and say things like: Locate nearest Home Depot Navigate to nearest Home Depot Call nearest Home Depot Create new appointment, dentist...

    Wireless Charging - What Happened?

    Just like power windows and cruise control in a car. Who wants this crap anyway?

    Galaxy Note II brightness issue after 4.1.2 OTA update

    This is actually normal behavior. It has to do with the time it takes your eyes to adjust from being out in daylight, then walking inside a dimly lit building. You are going to want an extra minute or two of extra brightness when this happens.

    Something happened to my note 2 :(

    I've seen bulging batteries do this type of damage. If the battery were defective or suffered heat damage it can bulge and place pressure exactly where that mark is.

    What app you disabled in non-rooted stock rom?

    Polaris Office as it corrupts every Office 2007/2010 document it touches.

    Samsung has a 1 year warranty. Have you tried contacting Samsung directly?

    Has anybody tried this wireless charging kit?

    I'm not saying anything about the total cost but the increased cost. A 50% increase from 10W is 15W. This is a 5W difference. 5W = 43kW in one year. This of course assumes that you are charging your phone at full power 24/7/365. Which is impossible unless your phone or battery is defective...

    Reading email messages aloud in driving mode

    I've toyed with the accessibility settings in iOS to where I could get Siri to read anything on the screen including email by triple-tapping the home key. I'm trying the same on the note 2 but haven't found a quick easy way like on iOS. If I figure something out I'll post here . Sent from my...

    Has anybody tried this wireless charging kit?

    So, instead of using 10W of power this uses 15W. Even if charging 24/7 we are talking about $2 per year more in electricity costs. But since it is likely energized less than 1/3 of that is it really worth any amount of worry? Sent from my SG Note 2 [Tapatalk]
