I have a rooted AT&T Galaxy Note II. Found this article on how to flash the phone so that apps can be put on the external SD card rather than the internal. It looks easy. Could probably do it in under 5 minutes. The benefits, it seems, would be enormous. Here is my major concern.... When...

Thanks to a thread on Phandroid, yesterday I find out about this great visual voicemail service called YouMail that is absolutely free. Been using it for a day and I absolutely love it. Then, today, somebody on Phandroid mentions HulloMail. Also free for the basic service. Haven't tried it...

On occasion, I am getting spam Instant Messages. Is there an Android program that allows you to create blacklists to stop these from being received? I own CALL CONTROL, which is a great android app for blocking unwanted phone calls, but I don't believe it extends out to Instant Messaging...

6:10am Eastern. No update pushed yet. That's fine. Been patient for this long waiting for AT&T to finally push a software update allowing multi-window use on the Note II. Thing is, now that I have checked for a software update this morning, all further checks come with a message: Current...

Google Sync under my account is shown as disabled. The only thing I can think of is that I stopped using the GMAIL app in favor of the Samsung email app. So, essentially, I just "de-selected" check email in the GMAIL app. I may have unchecked something else, but for the moment I am not...

For those of us in the United States... Always loved the idea of having scans of all my credit cards on my phone in some sort of "wallet" that I could swipe at the retail counter for payment. Google Wallet was supposed to be just that. However, most all the major phone carriers have...

So, GOOGLE NOW is the new big thing on Jellybean. How do I make that the default voice assistant when pressing the home button twice? ....and before I do that, does anyone have a particular preference as to which is better? Thanks

On my GS3, when my preset alarm went off I was able to say "STOP" and the alarm would just stop. How do I turn that option on in Note II? Thanks

I figured this out on my GS3, but having problems finding it on the Note II. How do I list my contacts by last name/first? I don't see that option under menu settings when the contact list or phone book is present. Thanks

Maybe I missed a setting. On my Samsung Galaxy S3 when I placed the phone in the multimedia dock, it sensed that I had done so and went into "dock" or "desktop" mode. A special screen came up with time and charging status. Does the Note II have the same feature, because thus far...

Moving from the GS3 today to the Note II. Maybe I am missing something, because honestly, I have been missing a lot of preferences thus far. The Samsung email app.... Checks mail every 15 minutes minimum? That can't be correct. Shouldn't it be every 5 minutes minimum? It was on the...

Just got my Note II today on AT&T after being a GS3 user for 2 months. So, my big question is.... Where is that cool animated windmill wallpaper that changes with the weather? I so miss it on this phone. Can it be downloaded and installed?

Hey Everyone! There are other threads with instructions on what to do when selling your phone but I know the Galaxy Note II is very close to the Galaxy GS3 and I thought perhaps I could get better tips from GS II owners on how to make a flawless transition from the GS3 to the GS II. Here are...

Hey Guys (and Gals), Waiting for my Note II to arrive from AT&T this Friday. I don't know much about this phone. I currently have a Galaxy S3. I see that there are at least 1 or 2 different S-PENS available to purchase from accessory places. What are the differences with these pens...

Just sold my Galaxy S3 and patiently awaiting the release of the Note 2 on November 9th from AT&T. Question.... Is everyone comfortable with the size of the Note 2? Does it fit comfortably in the pocket or does it seem bulky? Does it easily slide in and out of the pants pocket? Does...

So, I have been using CLOCK to create a daily alarm to remind me to take medication in the morning. Works great. A little alarm goes off everyday at the preset time. However, when going through apps I see ALARM. That app appears to allow me to create an alarm. Pretty much the same thing I...

Anyone here with a Mac tethering 4G via USB? I am actually paying for my tethering privileges thought I know of ways to bypass that. I just need to find out how to get my Mac Network to recognize the USB connection from my Galaxy S3 and allow it to tether. I have already selected DEBUGGING in...

My question concerns notification sounds and problems during phone calls. First, just having whistles and other notification noises playing while I am on the phone is a distraction to myself and the caller. It gets worse at home. I have a bluetooth device that handshakes my GS3 with my...

So, there are two email apps on my Galaxy S3. There is Email: Closed white envelope with embossed @ There is GMAIL: Open envelope with Red M sticking out of it. Which one are we supposed to use and why are there two of what could basically be the same application? I use the EMAIL...

I will be taking a trip out to California in another month and I am wondering whether it will be better to buy a new $400 Garmin or save money and use the GS3 as a navigation device via Google Maps (or perhaps something better recommended here). It's not the money that concerns me so much. I...

So, I went and downloaded the new 4.04 software update that AT&T offered this morning. Problem is, my phone is rooted, and during the reboot install of the update Clockwork Recovery took over, the software update installed and phone crashed. Seemed like I had to manually tell Clockwork...

So, if you don't yet know what Chrome to Phone is, it's basically a Chrome Browser extension you install on Chrome, on your desktop. It's also an app that you download and install in your Android device. You can go to Google Maps on your desktop, in Chrome, and map out a specific route and...

Moving from an iPhone to the Galaxy S3 the one thing I really miss is push notifications to the home/lock screen whenever an email, chat, or breaking news message arrives. I am hoping Jellybean fixes that. In the meantime, the hot program to bring notifications to your screen seems to be...

For those of you looking to switch from the iPhone to the Galaxy S3, don't be intimidated that you will lose the ecosystem you had in place with your other Apple devices. That was the biggest fear I had a week ago until I learned all the workarounds that would make my Galaxy S3 sync perfectly...

When mail arrives, my phone alerts me with the Android whistle. When CNN alerts are pushed to my screen....same whistle. I want to change that. There is no option in the CNN app to change notification sound. Is there an app or setting that allows you to assign specific alert sounds to...
