Can anyone recommend a good wireless charging pad for the Note 3? I bought the Expower receiver and pad. When used together, the connection breaks around 30 - 40 times a night. When I use a different pad, it works fine but I'd prefer not to use this one as it has a Japanese plug and a huge...

Whenever I get an sms, I pull down the notification bar, tap the notification and the bar retracts. Repeat a second time and the sms is opened. Does anyone else have this happen?

Are there any apps or root mods to lower the system volume? For example, the sound effect that plays when starting Google Now voice search is way too loud, and I have everything set to its lowest volume including system

Hi, Strange, random question, but does anyone else have some hairline marks running down the battery compartment, under the battery? Just noticed them, swear they weren't there before but the battery seems to have no points sharp enough. Just curious :-)

Hi, When I had my Note 2 on a table, I happened to glance at it from an angle and could see from a reflection on the screen that the screen wasn't completely flat. The reflection 'bent' as I changed my angle of vision. I hadn't noticed this before. Has anyone else seen this?

I've heard plenty of stories about how easy it is to scratch or chip the bezel through dropping the phone, but could the bezel wear away with everyday use? I want to take the case off my phone, but once had another phone with a similar finish and it didn't take long for the finish to wear away.

Hey everyone, I've just rooted my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.1, installed Sterricsons Busybox app from the Play Store and installed Busybox to system/bin. Now, I can't uninstall Busybox (not the app, the system/bin installation). Is there any reason this would happen? Is it anything I...

Hi, Can anyone please recommend a flip case which covers the screen but doesn't have any hard mountings or card slots? Can't find one anywhere. Thanks, Paul

Hi, Back when I was running 4.0.4 I flashed the power profile fix to change the cell standby exaggerated values. Now I'm running 4.1.1 and I've noticed (through GSAM Battery Monitor) that my radio.active is 900,000 and the wifi.active is 345,600. Nothing looks weird in the battery usage...

Hi, I have a problem where my phone refuses to check for OTA updates as it says it's modified. I also can't connect to Kies. This leaves me with the problem where I've got no way to flash updates. Besides trying to fix Kies (there's enough of those threads already) is there any way I can...

Hey everyone, I have a Galaxy S3 which is rooted but running stock 4.0.4. I'm aware that low available memory is a good thing and not bad for Android, but sometimes I have apps closing, then later re-opening, even if they have an icon in the notification bar. Available memory usually...

Has anyone used a Droidax battery case before? I'm curious to know opinions. I've already had one which I had to send back, when plugged in it was allowing the phone to charge but didn't charge itself. The company tested it and couldn't find any problems so they're sending me a new one...

Hi everyone, I apologise if this has already been asked. I did check the stickies and tried some searches. Is there a good one-stop-shop for someone who's never flashed a custom ROM but wants to? I've rooted all Android phones I've ever owned but never flashed a ROM. I'm computer-literate...

Got a strange one here, the battery percentage which is displayed in the top right near the time sometimes freezes and won't change until I reboot. Has anyone else had this?

I'm using the supplied cable and charger to charge my phone, and the system battery percentage says the phone goes to 100% If I switch the phone off while it's still plugged in it'll then charge for another minute or so. Is this normal? Thanks for any answers
