It's not really a "learned" word though, Madd. The best way I can describe it is like the keyboard (no matter if swype or Samsung or another 3rd party keyboard) ignores that first "c" and thinks it is just spelling a word AFTER the c. Does that make sense? Normally it would see the "c" and...

Hi all, I have a problem which has started only since I've updated to lolipop. When I type - if I start writing a word and realize I've messed up the spelling (for example if I write cloud instead of could) if I go back deleting every letter besides the c and begin to spell the word correctly...

[Replying to several of you] Madd: Thanks for pointing me to OneNote. After playing around with it and seeing how it sets up current notes as well as previous ones I've actually decided I like that more than Evernote for ongoing notes I make. Pictureit: yes I'm a little bummed that the big...

Jalopiejoe - sorry you're having so many issues with lolipop. I know how frustrating it can be. When I went from JB to the first version of KK my battery life plummeted and I was having a weird screen issue (it would dim when the screen would time out but if I pressed the screen it stayed dim)...

Hi all, I just updated to lolipop today and as some others have mentioned before me - action memo is now integrated into s-note. I'm looking for an alternative widget that I can have on my homescreen, tap once, write using the stylus and save. I also liked that I could easily view all of my...

I have Verizon (and in California if that matters). For #1 it is practically the same except where you wrote "more networks" I see more settings - so: more settings >> mobile networks >> access point names. For #2 I have a Turned Off column. Sarks. Posted via Android Central App

I just gave it a go - I was able to download and run it. But, many of the options for movies and shows don't work - I click play and it says video not available now. I was able to have the movie Horrible Bosses 2 play (though I only watched the first minute to see if it works). Sarks. Posted...

No worries. Glad it fixed your problem :-) I like to use the microphone but with my accent (Scottish) mixed with a little American (as I've lived here for 7 yrs) ....it just won't understand me past 2 or 3 words haha. My husband loves it though as he hates texting. Have a great week! Sarks...

You may have turned off google voice typing - I have to have that box ticked for the mic to show on my keyboard. To find it: Setting > (under "personal") language and input > google voice typing I've included some screenshots that may help. Sarks. Posted via Android Central App

The only way I was able to get rid of pop ups when I had this problem was to delete apps off one by one. I figured if I reset the phone and then have all my backed up apps added back on that the problem would come back too (this perception may be completely wrong but it's what I thought at the...

Does it sound like a piano with (I think) a violin? That's the sound I get when I turn on my phone. The only way I know of to not get it is to have my phone muted when it is turned off. (I have a note 3 on Verizon also). Posted via Android Central App

On my email (stock samsung email app) it depends on whether the address is hotmail, Gmail etc. For hotmail I can have it set at 5 mins but for yahoo and Gmail the shortest time is 15 mins. I don't know why this is - perhaps someone else will know. This isn't a problem for me as I have mine...

I'm really happy so far with the update. For the first time since upgrading to kitkat from jellybean my phone is lasting longer than 14-16 hours (screen on time 4-4.5 hrs). The battery wasn't awful before - but I guess I had gotten spoiled by JB and my switchover to android from apple. The 3-4...

I've accepted it. Posted via Android Central App

Madd! I'm so jealous that you got to see the poppies in person. I purchased one for the family I lost during the wars. The exhibition looked stunning (and very emotional) from the news articles and videos about it. I woukd have very much liked to have seen it in person too. Posted via Android...
