I have a Note 4. I was just about the purchase the Note 7 when all the recalls came out. I really need to upgrade from my Note 4 but I don't want to get the Galaxy phone. Does anyone know the status of the Note 7? Or are they coming out with a Note 8 instead, if so, does anyone know when?

I have apps on my phone that I use but they run in the background. I don't want them running in the background. I don't want the app to run until I open the app. Is there a way to stop these apps from running in the background?

I upgrade from a Note 2 to a Note 4 over a month ago. With my old Note 2 when I was connected through the bluetooth to the Kenwood car stereo I was able to use the stereo button/knobs to control my music app on my Note 2. Since I have started using the Note 4, I can no longer control the music...

One of my apps downloads files to the folder called storage/emulate/0/file. I can't find this folder on my phone or my sd card. When I do a search on the phone and sd card for the file it finds it and says it is in storage/emulate/0/file. But I don't see that directory anywhere. Where is it?

I want to save files to a directory on my sd card but can not figure out the path. I thought it was /storage/extSdCard/files but that does not work. What is the proper path to put in my setting for the pathe to the "files" directory?

I would like to turn off the sound of the shutter clicking when I take a picture but can not seem to find it. I have turned down all sounds except the ringer bit it still makes the clicking sound when I take a picture. Has anyone figured out how to turn this off?

If I root my phone and then run into problems later where I may need to have US Cellular work on it, is there a reset so that I can get it back to factory setting (unrooted)?

Has anyone had any success tethering with a US Cellular phone. I have had not luck at all. Every time I try to tether I get the following message on my phone. I never had to do this with my Mesmerize phone. I think this is crap that they started doing this. I have tried the app...

I received a notice on my note 2 this morning telling me there was an upgrade to be installed. I took the plug and accepted it and let the upgrade run its course. Once the upgrade was done I was able to use multi-windows on my note 2, which was awesome. But there always seems to be a gimic...

I am trying to figure out how to open the Multi Window on my Note 2. It says I can open it in Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Messaging and a few others apps by pressing and holding down the "back key" but I can not get it working. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else has this problem?

I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem. When I disable the one handed operation in the settings by removing the check mark, it does disable it but it seems to be only temporary. It randomly goes back to one handed operation later on in the day. Somehow it reverts back. Has...

I have a small issue with the calendar. When I go to my Google calendar with my laptop and add a new calendar, it does not show up on my Note 2. I have rebooted and sync'd the note 2 and it will not show up. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

This question is for all you that already have your Note 2 in hand. Now that each app no longer puts there backups on the sd card but on the internal memory instead. What program or app are you using to make you backups?

When I plug my phone into my computer through the usb, I get the following error on my phone; "Unfortunately, MTP application has stopped." I have tried rebooting the computer and the phone and I still get the error. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can get it resolved or...

I purchased a 64 G sd card and copied all the file from my old phone to my sd card. Now I am trying to move my apps to the sd card but when I open the applications manager and the app that I want to move to the sd card, I see no option to move it to the sd card. How do I move apps to the sd card?
