    Help Copy or Convert Exchange contacts to Phone Contacts?

    I've got thousands of contacts stored on Exchange, so searching through them can be difficult. Most of my personal contacts are stored on the phone, and I set the contacts app to only show phone contacts by default. For some reason though a few contacts that used to be on the phone or now...

    Help Calendar help: Subscribe to a calendar and delete a calendar

    OK, having a lot of problems with the calendar today. I'm trying to get my Tripit calendar into the stock calendar app. If I go into Calendars and click on Add account, I see Tripit listed, but when I select it I'm immediately taken back to my calendar list, but nothing else happens. So while...

    Help Can no longer enable blocking mode on Verizon

    I originally setup blocking mode using Quick Shortcut Maker. I recently had to send my phone in for a repair, and when I got it back the phone was wiped and I had to start over. I downloaded Quick Shortcut Maker again and tried using it, but it no longer seems to work. I get an error message...

    How do YOU get to the open apps screen on your Galaxy?

    I've been helping my boss setup his new Blackberry Z10, and one of the features that is really nice on it is the swipe up from the bottom to see all running programs. It is really intuitive and it made me realize that after a few months of use it still isn't natural for me to get to the recent...

    Help Email client forgetting new Exchange password every few hours

    I had to change my Exchange password yesterday. I then updated the password on all my mail clients and everything worked fine. Until this morning when I was woken up by my phone loudly complaining that the password didn't match. I reentered it and things again worked fine until about 30...

    Help Modify an email attachment, save, and send it?

    I was out of the country last week and only had my GN2 with me and had a situation where a colleague sent me an Excel attachment that I needed to make some modifications to and then send back. I opened the Excel sheet from the email (which seems to keep you in the email application, not a...

    I've been experiencing a consistent bug that if I am listening to music or a podcast via my Bluetooth headset and a call comes in on my SIP account (using CSIPSimple) the audio over the bluetooth stops and I have to reboot both the phone and the headset to get them working again. Anyone else...

    Root [Verizon] Possible to install another OS on GN2?

    When reading about some of the alternative phone OSes like Firefox mobile, Ubuntu, WebOS mobile, etc... it seems like they typically are using Nexus devices. Has there been any work to get one of these installed on a GN2?

    Help Bluetooth audio stops working

    I recently got a Bluetooth headset (LG HBS-700). It mostly connects to my Note just fine, but a few times now I don't have any audio connection, even though the device seems to otherwise be paired normally. When this happens the pause/play button seems to work and it looks like my device is...

    Dismiss calendar alerts without being next to the phone?

    So one of my biggest annoyances is calendar alerts that ring every few minutes until I physically go to my phone and dismiss them. My boss adds every event of his to my calendar, and he is often overseas so I have 4 or 5 alerts going off at all times of the day that don't matter to me. I also...

    Help Anyone get Notifier Pro to work with the stock email client?

    I was using NP with Touchdown and things were working just fine. I've now switched to the stock client, which I like better than TD in a number of ways, but I can't get NP to alert me to new emails. I've gone into settings and made sure that Email Notifications is checked (both for regular...

    Help Another notification issue

    Fairly regularly I will get an audible alert that I have a new email and will then go and check my phone, and the notification area will be empty. If I actually go to my laptop, or open the phone's email client I will see that I do have new emails, but no sign of them in the notifications...

    Help Speakerphone turning off after set time?

    I was on a long tech support call today and had the speakerphone turned on, and I noticed every few minutes the speaker would turn off automatically, and I would have to wake up the phone to turn it back on. Anyone else see this? I've searched, but the only other issues I've seen are with...

    Help Stock email client has started reading my emails aloud

    I've been mostly using Touchdown for my email, but my free trial just expired and I thought I'd try using the stock client for a bit before deciding whether I should plunk down $20 for TD. Yesterday during a meeting I was trying to send an email and all of a sudden my phone started reading the...

    What is possible with a bluetooth headset?

    I've been looking to get a bluetooth headset for my GN2, primarily for using when I'm on my bike. Ideally I'd like to be able to do the following without touching the phone: Listen to music/podcasts pause, advance the track, and change the volume answer a call (have music automatically pause...

    Help S-Note templates - how to use?

    Ok, so this is I'm sure a stupid question, but I haven't been able to figure out or find any mention of how to use the templates in S-Note? For instance, I'd like to use the format of the meeting note, but I don't want any of the fake notes that Samsung has used as an example, just the outline...

    S-pen shortcuts to replace buttons?

    I've been using this phone for a couple of weeks now, and everyday I accidentally hit the capacitive buttons on the screen probably half a dozen times. Is there a way to disable them, and use S-pen gestures instead to do the same thing?

    Help Problem with phone app

    If I'm on a call and go to look something up in another program, I have no way to get back to the phone screen. It isn't present in the recent apps screen, and if I click on the phone app I get taken to the dialer screen, with no indication that I have a call already in progress. This means...

    Email popup?

    On just about every computer I've used, mobile or otherwise, there is a popup that happens when you get an email that usually shows you who it is from and maybe the subject line or a little bit of the body of the email. On my Note 2, all I'm getting is a notification sound, but I either need to...

    Clearing the email notification light?

    My email notification light stays on until I manually clear it, or until I read the email on my Note. So if I am sitting at my laptop reading emails, my notification light will constantly flash. This hasn't been my experience with mobile devices and Exchange accounts in the past. My...

    Stock Music Player questions

    I've just started playing with the stock music player, and on the surface it seems OK. I like the fact that it picked up the music on my NAS automatically, I've had to download a separate app for this on other Android devices I've used. The only thing about this is that it only seems to...

    Landscape keyboard is huge!

    SO the landscape keyboard is taking up about 80% of my vertical screen real estate, and only leaves enough screen showing to view one line of text. Are there any keyboards out there that are optimized for stylus use, so that I can have more keys in less space?

    Help Copy and Paste problems?

    Is copy and paste available universally at the system level, or is it up to individual programs to implement it? I'm finding that I can copy text from a lot of places, but I can't seem to figure out how to paste it into another program, as the paste menu never comes up. is there a keyboard...

    Help Keeping contacts/accounts separate

    When I've used Android briefly in the past, I've had a lot of trouble with contacts. I've got about 800 work contacts on Exchange and maybe about 75 personal contacts on my old phone. I also have contacts with just an email address in gmail, and these I don't want included in my phone contact...
