    Note 3 rear camera not focusing

    I took my camera to a Samsung repair shop in New Eltham, SE London. They were brilliant, less than half an hour later I had my camera returned to me, now focusing properly. (I was told by the repair place in Islington that it would take 'weeks'.) I'm very pleased I held off rooting my phone...

    Airplane mode

    It was really only Fantom305 that went down the route of: Don't use flight mode. Instead you can simply switch the phone off, or pull the battery out or wrap it in tin foil, or email and text all your friends telling them you'll be incommunicado for a bit. The only bit that demonstrated he had...

    Galaxy Note 3 drains battery faster than space shuttle burned fuel

    This worked for me... After installing Wakelock Detector (free from Google Play), I found that NLP Collector and another similarly named device was stopping my phone going to deep sleep. There are a couple of services that you can find under 'Manage Applications' that should have be cleared...

    Google services eating too much battery recently

    Wakelock Detector I'm the Play Store was very helpful telling me *why* my phone was losing 20% overnight. (NLP Collector wakelock) After that, the thing that fixed it was clearing the cache of a couple of processes. Just switching off location reporting in settings didn't do anything for me.

    Galaxy Note 3 drains battery faster than space shuttle burned fuel

    Dunno it it's related, but now I need to wait a second or two before I'm able to unlock the phone using the Android pattern method. I draw the line on the screen, but the phone doesn't register that anything's happened until a second has passed. (Once the phone is unlocked I never experience...

    Galaxy Note 3 drains battery faster than space shuttle burned fuel

    I'm also getting notifications (randomly, but on average every 10 minutes, or so), even though according to my notification bar at the top of the screen, nothing has happened. I continue to get the alerts even when Account Sync is turned off. Only had phone 1 day, but already got loads of apps...

    Galaxy Note 3 drains battery faster than space shuttle burned fuel

    Joel - I also have a fast draining battery on my Note 3, but I don't have an app called Airplay. Is that what it was called? Thanks, Richard

    Best SMS/MMS app for the One

    Used Handcent, liked it, but it had loads of unnecessary (for me) features. Just installed Textra. Nice and slick feel. One feature I would like though is delayed/scheduled messaging. Just found SMS Scheduler - will prob use that with Textra.

    Best SMS/MMS app for the One

    I doubt the developer(s?) have enough time to give full individual replies to everyone that contacts them with feature requests, bug reports etc. Probably just got a bit of paper with a list numbered 1 to 100. If enough people write about the same thing, that item gets pushed up the list. R.
