    Cannot Write To SD Card ?

    This subject has probably been beaten half to death by how.... but I just started building up my new Note 4 and, at first, thought somebody was joking: "Catch-22: You can put an SD card in to your Note 4; but you may not write to it." This thing is not Rooted yet, but Rooting is on the list...

    Seeking N7000 ROM recommendation

    My N7000`s instance of 4.1.2 keeps spontaneously uninstalling apps. At first it seemed to be only one app that I don't use all that much, but today I was out in the middle of nowhere and discovered it had uninstalled all 3 of my map/navigation apps. My understanding is that this is a known...

    LG HBS-750 BlueTooth Headset: Volume Issue Fix?

    I'm trying an LG HBS-750 Bluetooth headset with my N7000 - listening to recorded material, not the phone - and it's not happening for me. With the LG headset's volume maxed and the N7000's volume maxed I can barely hear the spoken material. A little background noise nearby, and it's hopeless...

    1080 Video Stutters Over AC

    Samsung P600, using MX Player (the built-in VideoPlayer seems to abend before playing anything), trying to play a 1080i .MPG and it acts like it was being played over an N connection: ok for a few seconds, then it starts stuttering and cutting out. At first I suspected the AC router (Ubiquiti...

    I want to root my Samsung 10.1" SM-P600 (Android 4.3) tablet, but will not be doing anything with custom ROMs. I just want root to be able to set User Agent under Chrome, uninstall some bloatware via AppMaster, and a few other things. Can anybody recommend the best route to root? In the...

    N7000: High Batt Voltage, Then Won't Boot?

    About 5 this morning, my N7000 started intermittent vibrating. It was turned all the way off and not even on a charger. The screen had the little green Android icon in the top left and was advising that a new ROM was ready to download and I should press VolumeDown to proceed and VolumeUp to...

    Root Minimalist Root N8013: Recommendations?

    I've read the sticky guide, but don't feel comfortable with my lack of knowledge. Flash count? Should I care? What I am looking for is Root access just to be able to run certain apps that require root. i.e. no intention of using another ROM. Can somebody suggest something that meets...

    Root Rooted: Should I Install An Alternative ROM?

    Finally got my defective N7000 back from the vendor in Germany where a Samsung tech claimed water damage (NOT!) and wouldn't touch it. $90 shipping and three weeks without the phone. Takeaways: If you live in the USA, don't buy a Samsung product that is not made for the USA market. Samsung...

    Bigger Battery: Recommendations?

    My N7000 will only go about nine hours before the low battery alert pops - and that's with minimal use throughout the day. I've been the battery monitor route - and found the occasional bad actor (the most recent being corrupted files on a 64-gig micro SD card that were making "Media" run...

    N7000 Battery Drain: "Media Download"??

    On a day-to-day basis, there's no way I can nurse my N7000 through a 12-hour day without the battery (less than a year old) going flat. This morning I booted my N7000 up with: 100% battery GPS = Off BlueTooth = Off Screen Rotation = Off WiFi = Off Settings | Location Services | Location and...

    Root "Startup" List ?

    Well, I managed to root my N7000 without bricking it... and it even seems tb working normally. Now I want to drive a stake through the heart of an app called "Google Play Music" that has been tormenting me with "... stopped..." dialogs. But I want to be as non-intrusive as I can. My guess is...

    N7000: Battery Drains When Off?

    Powered off the N7000 and put it on charger as usual last nite. Also, as usual, in the morning pressing the Home button brought up the battery icon and it said "100%". Took it down to breakfast, still powered off. 30 or so minutes later, I powered it on and the battery was only 87%. I am...

    Root Rooting N7000: Faster Response/Longer Battery Life?

    Controlling What Appears In Left Of Status Bar?

    N7000, Android 4.1.2. I'm calling it "Status Bar" because that is what WeatherBug's Preferences calls it. Looks like the top left of the screen contains icons relating to what is running at the moment - although I've tried killing all processes (RAM Manager | Clear memory) and some...

    4.1 Update Hosed My Data File Locations

    Well, maybe "Hosed" is too strong a word.... But apps like Osmand+, DoggCatcher, and others - where I had specified that their data files be kept on external SD card - no longer work. Seems like the new location has to be specified as /storage/extSdCard instead of /sdcard/external_sd...

    OTG Under JB: Expectations?

    I bought the twenty-dollar Samsung USB adapter and nothing was happening. Figured it was DOA, returned it, and bought the Juiced Systems 4-in-one. First time around, that wasn't happening either. Read a few threads on the subject in which somebody re-booted with the adapter in place and...

    10.1 Note Chargers: How Proprietary?

    So far, every time I plug my 10.1's USB cord in to a power source besides the one that came with it, a red "X" appears over the battery. OTOH, my 5.3" note works with everything I've plugged it into. Charges faster on some, slower on others... and might be cooking the battery on some... but it...
