    Wireless charging pad

    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...

    Has anyone else noticed how loud this phone is?

    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

    Help Strange marks in battery compartment

    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 :-)

    Screen is not flat

    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?

    Can the bezel wear away?

    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.

    Root [International] Busybox won't uninstall

    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...

    Help S3 power profile values

    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...

    Help No way to update

    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...

    Root [International] Notification bar apps closing and re-opening

    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...

    Anyone used a Droidax battery case?

    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...

    Root [International] Custom ROM noob

    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...

    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

    Help Bookmarks - Multiple accounts listed

    Hi guys, Under the bookmarks in the stock browser, I have a group called 'Local', but there's also 3 other groups that are named as my email address. I figure one is Google because that's where all my bookmarks appear, but the other 2 are empty and I don't know what they're from. I've...

    Help Any idea what this is?

    Along the top of the screen, there seems to be some kind of residue / dust. It starts right above the left side of the earpiece, then goes a couple of cm to the left. The same thing is on the right, but there's nothing right above the earpiece. I admit from the photo it doesn't look too bad...

    Decent battery case / extended battery

    Hey, can anyone recommend a good battery case or extended battery? I apologise as I'm sure this has been covered, but all the ones I can find either have a lame input (500mah) or aren't available in Australia. Thanks

    Help Background apps in the notification bar are being shut down

    Hi, The title kind of says it all. When I'm using my phone, I'll randomly see an app start in the notification bar when it had previously been running. I'm not running any task manager. In the os (4.0.4) there is a task manager button in the app switching screen when I hold down the home...

    Cases blocking USB port - skinny cable needed

    I've bought a couple of silicone cases for my new S3, and I'm finding I can't plug in the stock charging cable (or some others I've got) because the plugs are too big? Anyone know where I can get a decent case, or a charging cable with a really skinny micro-USB plug? :-)

    Hi, I've just bought a new Galaxy S3. When I was running through the settings, I activated haptic feedback for the softkeys. I've noticed that this setting will sometimes 'untick itself'. Has anyone else noticed this? I've had the phone less than 24 hours and it's not rooted. I don't...

    Hi everyone, I'm already running Gingerbread (2.3.4) on my Atrix on Telstra Australia. Today, I've been notified of a new update, roughly 40MB. This is too small to be an OS upgrade, and as I said I already have Gingerbread, so does anyone know what this is? I've checked Telstra's and...

    Accessories Replacement Atrix battery cover

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a replacement battery cover for my Atrix, but this is proving more difficult than I thought. All the ones I've seen online either have AT&T branding, or don't have the grill cover over the speaker hole. I don't mind the MotoBlur branding but I don't want AT&T and I do...
