I noticed that every time I make or receive a call the brightness goes to max and auto brightness is disabled. Anyone know where the setting is for this to save me some time?

So I had the SIII before upgrading to the S4. It seems like everything about the S4 trumps the SIII so far except one aspect of the camera. Don't get me wrong, the S4's features and outdoor photo abilities blow every other smartphone I have had out of the water. Yet, when you get indoors I find...

I am kinda new to Android. Had the Galaxy Note and now I have the S3. When the Note updated to ICS I just did a typical OTA update. After that, I began having all kinds of problems. A lot of people in forums said there is a whole process of factory resetting and wiping your phone multiple times...

After upgrading to ICS I've been having a lot of trouble getting a GPS lock. I looked this issue up and quite a few people have been having similar issues. Some people have suggested rebooting the device or toggling the gps on and off to get a lock. This has only worked once for me. Anyone...

If you are like me you probably felt pretty disappointed with the ICS update we had been waiting so long to get. It was basically an app update and a nifty task manager after Sammy's touchwiz got a hold of it. However, all is not lost! By updating to ICS we are now compatible with the Nova...

I was wondering what your favorite apps are on the galaxy note. As far as Note specific apps my recent favorites are: 1) Soonr Scribble--it allows you to mark up pdfs, powerpoints, excel sheets, etc. it is really useful at least until ICS comes out on AT&T 2) Papyrus--basically does...

Anyone else use the s-pen? I absolutely love it. But I didn't love it until I figured out the optimal way to hold it. In reading a lot of reviews it seems that there are quite a few people who had trouble finding a comfortable way to use the pen as well. This might not work for everyone but...

Hi all, I'm a proud new owner of this giant phone! (yeah it still feels big but i'm loving it). I have a question about call quality. About 50% of the time I can hear my own voice echoing on the line when making a voice call. I use a bluetooth headset and I haven't noticed if the same thing...
