I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright...

Hi, I am thinking of buying a S7 Edge and can't find a new one from a reputable supplier for less that £580. So I'm thinking of buying a secondhand one. Please can anyone tell me how I can tell whether it's a UK model, not an import and whether there is anything specific that I should be looking...

I factory reset my Note 3 due to battery issues. The jury's still out as to whether this fixed it but I now have another problem. I get a notification sound at random intervals - can be 3 in 30 minutes or 1 every 6 hours. There is no notification to be seen when I drag the bar down to look...

Just bought a Note 3 to replace my Note 1 and it looks great. I'm having serious battery problems with my Note and I can't pin it down to one 1 app. My plan was to build up the Note 3 from scratch, installing each app at a time to see if there was a problem. When I booted up it asked if I...

My new Galaxy Note 3 is in the post to replace my original Note so I'm looking for a case. I love the idea of the S-View case but when you take the back off and replace it with the S-view case there is no drop protection from the look of it. Is there a case with S-View functionality which...

As in title, my Galaxy Note 1 has suddenly started turning itself off at random. This started yesterday and has happened 3 or 4 times since then. The only thing that has changed is that I am in the middle of changing providers from O2 to Three so took the O2 SIM out yesterday to sort out the PAC...

I am looking to buy a Galaxy Note 3 32Gb N9005 in the UK and the best price I can see is at Expansys at

Over the last few days I have noticed that my battery is running down way more quickly than usual on my GN7000. Previously it would last the whole day. I am not a power user but do check the phone frequently and use it as calendar, surf, email etc. When I realised that it seemed to be running...

I was surprised to see an update available the other day and I updated. Still on 4.1.2. I think it started then but I now have a Talkback icon on my bar and when I drag it down it says Talkback is activated Tab to go to accessibility settings. But when I do there is no sign of Talkback in the...

I have finally bitten the bullet and wiped my Note following the instructions via the Android Recovery Console given by NeoGrandizer on the Note 2 forum. I really wanted to go from scratch so have reformatted the SD card. All went very quickly and seemingly well so I have set about rebuilding...

I use Bluetooth Wifi Unlocker to keep my Note unlocked when I'm connected to my home wifi and it's worked really well up until now. When I was out yesterday, I realised that the note was failing to lock as it normally did so I turned on the PIN screen lock under Lock Screen in Settings meaning...

I thought I had my head around the rather strange naming conventions of the Android phones with system, internal and external storage but now I'm confused again. I currently have my Note plugged in to my Laptop and that shows my SD card as having 20.1Gb free out of 29.2 Gb. But Kies is telling...

I was hoping that Jelly Bean would help with battery life but it seems to have made it worse. I have not used my phone a lot today, certainly not more than usual amd at 2.45pm it's showing 35% 7hr 11mins after unplugging. This is with the battery recommended in the thread Bloomin' Batteries...

I used to have BT permanently switched on on my Note 1. It always showed in the bar at the top but only showed up in my battery stats if I actually used it. I was very happy with that as every time I got into my car it connected automatically via BT and I could pick up phone calls. I notied...

The case on my Note 1 is looking a bit tatty. I would like to find one that replaces the back, like the Samsung original case. I have not heard good things about the original case though with people saying that it peels apart quickly. Does anyone have one and are they any good? Or does anyone...
