    Note 7 specs - whoa! (if it becomes a reality..)

    8GB RAM and 16 cores? :) http://neurogadget.com/2015/11/29/samsung-galaxy-note-6-release-date-rumors-with-biggest-specs/20908

    First Note 6 rumor I've seen. Can't wait for more!

    http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/11/samsung-galaxy-note-6-include-micro-sd-4k-resolution/ I hope we're looking at a Note 6 that is a step up from the Note 5, AND corrects at least the expandable storage mistake that Samsung made when it removed that capability from it.

    Marshmellow for the Note 3, ever? :)

    I surely must already know the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway. Anyone heard any talk or rumors about whether or not the Note 3 might ever get an official Marshmellow upgrade?

    Samsung regretting throwing Note 5 and other microSD users under the bus?

    A glimmer of hope for a Note 6, perhaps? Could expandable storage make a comeback? Why can't Samsung offer expandable UFS storage chips? I'd certainly buy that, if that was the only way to get my mobile phone/camera up to 128GB or 256GB of storage. Eff the cloud, and the service provider...

    AHA!! Wake up, Samsung..

    It seems like my expectations for Samsung were badly misplaced for the Note 5. And perhaps for later models, too. I don't know. Here is an initiative that looks like it should be exactly what Samsung is working on. I'd be happy to buy it from Samsung. If they produced the same spec device...

    Help WAZE - randomly causes my Note 3 to abruptly reboot

    Has anyone else had trouble with their Note 3 abruptly rebooting when running waze? This often happens to me anytime, from between a few minutes to an hour or so. My Note 3 never seems to ever do this at any other times. Having waze up and running correlates very closely with when these...

    Note 5: Samsung Self Sabotage

    That's what Samsung appears to be trying its hardest to do to the Note 5. Sabotage. They appear to need and want the Note 5 to be a big hit for them, right now, so much. They appear to want us to feel the Note 5 is the latest and greatest thing we could want. And at the same time, they seem...

    Sadly, Samsung is failing internally :(

    After all the intense, early public discussion about the storage and battery concerns with this new model, Samsung falls on its face. There's no way preposterous blunders like this can happen and get all the way out into the open unless operations and morale in the company have already plunged...

    128GB Note 5's ??

    With the Note 5, Samsung eliminates microSD storage, sings praises for the device's improved photo and video capabilities, AND limits storage options to 64GB - when it's totally obvious they intended on offering a 128GB model. How do we get our providers and Samsung to at least correct this...

    Forum for Note 6 ?

    Now that all the bad news about the Note 5 is finally official, how about we get the Note 6 forum started? What a great way to attract more public attention to Samsung on where they gave up their edge this time (pun intended), and what they must do for next year to TRY and get it back.

    Note 5 - Someone's sick joke??

    I mean really, when you put it all together, this is what it looks like to me: http://www.ischoolguide.com/articles/20805/20150806/galaxy-note-5-photos.htm Could Samsung appear any more like it's trying to kill the Galaxy Note? With the Note 5: Improvements over Note 4: 1. RAM increased...

    Note 3 GPS and Waze - Problem and Resolution

    I recently began having problems with using Wave on my Note 3. Waze was almost entirely unable to get a GPS signal all the time. The problem seemed to come on pretty suddenly. I suspected software issues at first. But after a lot of troubleshooting that included removing and reinstalling...

    Help Galaxy Note 3 loses all cellular connectivity

    So, ever since being on Lollipop (at least), I have realized there's a definite pattern to a problem I'm having. Whenever I go out of range of cell services for more than a few minutes, (say, 15 minutes or more?), my Galaxy Note 3 is unable to re-establish cell service connectivity again until...

    Alert sounds interrupt music playback

    Does anyone have any thoughts on why it is the GN3, (or perhaps all Android devices?) doesn't seem to have the capability to multiplex playing audio from different applications simultaneously? I am wishing that when I've got my GN3 playing music through Bluetooth into my car that when SMS alert...

    Lollipop for Verizon Note 3 - YES!!!!! :)

    Anyone know when we might see Lollipop for our Verizon Galaxy Note 3's? I've been checking for it pretty regularly lately. Starting to wonder if I should just try and forget about it for another few weeks, or more.. :)

    Help Android 4.4.4 upgrade - Had trouble, but OK now!

    Well, my Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon is plugged USB into my Windows machine, and the Verizon upgrade assistant looks like it might be stuck in the middle of upgrading it to Android 4.4.4. It says the upgrade may take 30-90 minutes, and it's been sitting that way, indicating 83% done, for at...

    Google Play Music - Why??

    On my Note 3 lately, especially, I am repeatedly finding that Google Play Music has launched and running in the background. I terminate it because I know no reason why I want it up and running. But it keep on coming back. Sometimes Facebook app does the same thing, too. I don't see an...

    Someone lost their SM-G900V..

    So, sitting here looking at a Galaxy S5 from Verizon that someone lost out in the road in front of my significant other's place of work. The screen doesn't work. It's got some hairline cracks and you only see the briefest flicker in the upper right corner area when you power the device on...

    Help Power consumption alerts?

    Does anyone know if there are any apps that allow you to generate an alert if your rate of battery power consumption rises above a set threshold, for a set interval of time? Right now, the only way I know that something has gone haywire somewhere in the system is that I suddenly begin to notice...

    Help Note 3 - Screen rotation?

    Does anyone know if you're supposed to be able to get the Note 3's display to rotate to 'landscape' mode when it's just showing the Android lock and home screens? I have a Asus Nexus 7 and it does that with no problem. I can't seem to find a way to get my Note 3 to do the same. It will rotate...

    Help Proximity sensor behavior broken..

    Has anyone been having any trouble with their phone's display not automatically turning back on when moving the phone away from their ear, to hangup the call or enter additional numbers on the keypad? When I first got my Note 3 there wasn't any problem with that. It worked just like it seems...
