Thanks for posting the solution. So apparently Peel is the abomination, the app that takes over your phone's functions well outside the app's ecosystem in an attempt sell advertising on your phone. What gall. Peel is an app that came preinstalled in ROM with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I made it...

I use Mailwise, which is excellent. Android is frustrating with Microsoft and unfortunately I'd sooner get a Windows phone than switch to gmail based systems. It's a completely different tool and I wish it would be recognized as that and a need to create a cooperative existence.

For me the annoyances with this phone is that many things seem to be slow when they shouldn't be. This includes the phone app, which seems to stay on the "end call" screen for a full 2-3 seconds and then switch. I don't know if it is touchwiz. It may relate tot he camera issues which everyone...

Re: Samsung Email App vs Google App Samsung's email app is fantastic. It contains options up the wazoo, such as peak and non-peak email checking times that save battery life. It has virtually anything you could want except (a) swipe gestures, e.g. swipe left to delete, (b) use of faces if you...

Re: why cant I turn my magazine off? I have a Galaxy Note 3. I have seen the same click on an empty area and hold instructions for the home screen settings. I don't see any home screen settings doing this or holding any button. I too have the same issue with My Magazine being unable to be...

There is weirdness on the Galaxy Note 3 with 4.4.2 that I can't explain. It's my first Samsung phone and, as much as I love some of the innovation, trying to turn off things or disabling them is maddening. I can't turn off most things. I was able to turn off the eye with Smart Screen which...

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 edition but no SIM inside, hence I am guessing that the issue I am seeing with the outbound Wifi arrow always lit is probably not carrier specific. I am totally thrilled with the new Note 3 I got for a reduced price now that the 4 is out but rather aghast...

I just received a Speck Note 3 case on eBay, for those interested, which seems genuine and has the hologram (or is the best fake box I have ever seen). I ordered from here: 100-Authentic-Speck-CandyShell-Grip-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-III-/331327949842 I bought the white and blue...

Is this an issue with Google or with the Exchange app? Not sure one can be sure. Regardless, I'm just replying to say thanks for sharing. I use Exchange and my Nexus 5 battery life went to hell. I just sold the Nexus 5 for the Note 3 and, regardless of whether it solves the problem, the Note 3...

This is not good. I took a look at the phone at the store today, trying to make a decision on a new phone shortly. While I love the form factor and the lightness of the G3, I can't say that I was overwhelmed by the build quality of the case. It's certainly possible that, over time, cracks can...

I honestly think the issue is that with a 2300 mAh battery and the usual set of Android apps installed (lots of which stay in the running area), the battery can be depleted very quickly. And if you use any push mail, like the stock mail app with Exchange, you'll see the battery drop extremely...
