    I'm looking for a sports armband that will the fit the Galaxy s3 along with my (thin) case so that I don't have to take the case off every time. Does anyone know of such a case? Apparently the Tunebelt ab86 will fit a Galaxy S3, but I can't find any mention of whether a case will fit too...

    Simple tip to speed up the ui on your phone

    Go to settings, developer options, and change the "window animation scale" and "transition animation scale" settings to 0.5x. That will make animations twice as fast compared to the default 1x options. This means that opening apps, sliding between screens etc will occur faster. You can turn...

    Spotify stability?

    Spotify is constantly crashing to the point where I have to force close it, sometimes it just stops playing a song and is generally just unstable. Has anybody else had a better experience with it? Its probably my most used app :(

    Accessories that accommodate cases?

    Has anyone ever found a range of accessories that accommodate the official Samsung vent cases? I have an armband for when I go running, a windscreen holder for when I'm in the car, and I want to buy a dock for my desk. It's really annoying to keep having to take the case off to get the phone...
