Hi all. In the past when I had my S3, I kept all of my photos and videos organized in folders which were stored on my SD card. Ultimately, I transferred all of these folders to my computer so that the pics were backed up there as well (I am not a fan of cloud storage, dropbox, etc). Here is...

I notice that when scrolling through pics on Tumblr that the images were quite blurry compared to my iphone 5. This had me worried but then I noticed once click on pics in the feed to enlarge them, they buffer a few seconds and are crystal clear. Any idea why this would be?

I notice that if I scroll quickly, the letters on a web page go blurry while scrolling before coming back into focus. Also, I notice in my photo gallery that often times if I click on a picture to open it full screen, it takes a brief moment for the entire pic to focus and be crystal clear...

Hi all. I am not so much complaining as I am interested how others might be handling the size of this beast. I am 6'7" so I have large hands, but even still I find myself needing to shuffle the phone in order to do things one-handed. I don't really care to use the one handed settings to be...

Does anyone know if there is a rom or a way to get the additional screen display settings (Dynamic Standard Natural Movie) that are offered on the International version? I am assuming no but figured it would be best to ask. I have tried third party options to get more natural colors and the...

Does anyone know if there is a rom or a way to get the additional screen display settings (Dynamic Standard Natural Movie) that are offered on the International version? I don't understand why this was left off. I'd love to be able to tone down the colors a bit. Thanks!!

Hi all. I went to the Sprint store to play with the Note 2 and decide if I want to pre-order on Verizon. I was blown away by the size of the screen and sheer beauty and feel of the phone. I'm 6'8" so it felt very nice in my hand despite the large size. But, I have a question for those who have...

A few videos I recorded of my daughter look great when watching on the computer. But when I play them back in the photo gallery using the stock video player, or even Realplayer and MX Player, the video gets choppy. You can see minor stutters in the playback and if you play it back 5 times, it...

I tried looking online and in the forums but came up empty. When i am recording video, any incoming text will stop my recording. Is there a way to disable this from happening? It is extremely frustrating. Thanks!

Hi all. I read all 15 pages of the 'ask a question' thread and searched the others for answers and am left with these questions: 1. How is the screen at max brightness compared to the S3? I found the screen on the S3 to be dim. 2. How are the colors reproduced for accuracy on the Note 2...

The title is pretty self explanatory. I am having a difficult time getting past how over-saturated the colors are. I notice it from pictures on the internet to pictures I take with the camera. I took some pictures of the new color I painted my kitchen but couldnt show anyone because it looked...

I've been on the fence for a while about color. For those receiving their pebble blue, or metallic blue, S3s in the U.S., are they giving a purpleish tint in different lighting as some are saying.....or have those been replaced with this new metallic blue that some say is closer to a gunmeatal...

A flood of reviews came out yesterday, likely with the US version finally starting to release. In several of them, and I can dig up links if requested, the screen was touted as a weakness as opposed to a positive of the phone. Their argument was that, when compared to screens like the One X...

I came across this gem earlier and couldn't help but notice the home button. Quite a shade difference. I couldn't tell you a word of what the guy is saying but I think the visual speaks for itself. Interesting. Wonder if this is how the US version will look? Samsung Galaxy S3: Design der...

Quick question. Has anyone tried group texting with friends using imessage? To this point I have not found any android stock messenger or third party messaging app that has integrated with imessage where I can see my friends replies. Just wondering if by SLIM chance this works with the S3...
